Talk about the world of mortals in detail

No matter where you are, as long as you reveal the imperial list, you will immediately be taken seriously by the local officials.

After the imperial list was posted to the world, more and more people from all over the country unveiled the imperial list. Naturally, the news was spread back to Chengtian Mansion as soon as possible. The news was even spread back to Chengtian Mansion within a month after the imperial list was issued. Tianfu.

This information was immediately concentrated on Si Tianjian, who then reported it to the emperor.

Although he had expected that someone would reveal the emperor's list, Sima Xiao still didn't expect it to happen so quickly, so he had to follow the emperor's instructions and go to the palace to report the situation as soon as possible.

In the imperial study, Sima Xiao, who was summoned by the emperor, stood still, saluted first and then reported.

"Your Majesty, someone from Changfeng Mansion and Qingzhou has unveiled the imperial list, and there are quite a few people who responded, including more than a dozen people."

The emperor looked happy.

"There is news so soon. When will they come? Is there any news from the Heavenly Master?"

Sima Xiao said quickly.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from Heavenly Master yet. As for the people who will unveil the emperor's list, people from all over the country will come to the capital one after another, but I have a concern."

"Sima Aiqing just says it's okay!"

The emperor would appear friendly and cheerful, but Sima Xiao hesitated and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and colleagues of Si Tianjian estimate that if the imperial list is announced to the world, the number of responders will exceed expectations. By then, many masters of magic will gather in the capital. If we just follow the original arrangement, there will be trouble."

After a pause, Sima Xiao continued.

"Among all the magicians, there are definitely those who fish in troubled waters to deceive the world and steal their reputation. This must be investigated and a specific regulation is also needed."

The emperor felt happy when he heard these words. The more talented people there are, the better. Facing Sima Xiao at this moment, he seemed to be very open-minded.

"Sima Ai Qing, don't worry. I will order the officials of the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with Si Tianjian, and I will also order the Chengtian Mansion Office and the Forbidden Army Camp to cooperate with you, but you must also be treated with caution."

The emperor made a lot of demands, basically stating that he wanted people to give money to others.

Sima Xiao couldn't help but sigh slightly when he left the imperial study. The more pleasant the emperor looked, the tighter his heart became.

Sima Xiao could even imagine what it would feel like if he messed up, his head would be split with blood, his car would be cracked, or he would be cut in half. It was really chilling.

When Sima Xiao just walked out of Wenqing Palace where the imperial study room was located, he met a group of officials headed by Shangshu Zuopushe and Zhou Xiande.

Si Tianjian nominally belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was under the jurisdiction of Zuopushe. Seeing these officials, Sima Xiao quickly stepped aside and bowed to them.

Zhou Xiande had a gray beard and a slightly stooped figure, but at this moment a group of officials were striding forward and saw Sima Xiao, all of whom looked indifferent.

"snort!"

Each official left with a cold snort. No one responded to Sima Xiao, and it was impossible for anyone to return the greeting. The direction they went to was the imperial study room where Sima Xiao had just left.

Sima Xiao looked embarrassed. He slowly straightened up after everyone left, with another wry smile on his face.

Of course Sima Xiao understood what the old minister was thinking, and they probably regarded him as a jester, or even thought that he was bewitching the emperor. But Sima Xiao himself had troubles that he couldn't tell, so he couldn't disobey the emperor's order, right?

When Sima Xiao just straightened up and watched the officials enter Wenqing Palace, a person walked quickly from behind him. Sima Xiao was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly saluted the person again.

"Master Yu!"

Yu Ziye bowed his hands.

"Lord Sima, did you just come out of the imperial study?"

"Uh, yes. If I report to His Majesty about the unveiling of the emperor's list, I'm afraid there won't be many people who will respond."

Yu Ziye nodded.

"Lord Sima, the Emperor trusts you now, and I can only rely on you to control everything."

"The lower officials should do their best."

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Did Zhou Xiang pass just now?"

Sima Xiao nodded.

"Prime Minister Zhou, Master Chang and Master Li have all passed."

"Okay, Lord Sima, don't relax, this one will be quite chaotic!"

"I understand!"

After Yu Ziye finished speaking, he quickly walked to the imperial study. Some of the people who went to the imperial study were too upright and would definitely conflict with the emperor.

Sima Xiao watched Yu Ziye go away, frowning slightly.

Of course Sima Xiao was aware of the factional struggle in the court, but when he looked at Master Yu's complexion and his demeanor just now, he seemed to be very worried, not at all like the joy of gradually gaining power.

In the imperial study, the emperor's face immediately dropped as soon as the eunuch reported that Zhou Xiande had come with a group of ministers.

When he saw the appearance of Zhou Xiande and others, the emperor's face became very unhappy before anyone could say anything.

Yu Ziye only arrived at the Imperial Study Room a little later. Before he even entered, he could hear the quarrel between the monarch and his ministers inside, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly outside.

Today's minister Zuopushe Zhou Xiande is just over fifty, but he looks to be sixty or seventy years old.

At that time, Chu Hang's line of officials lost power. In the next one to two years, most of Chu Hang's disciples and former officials who held important positions in the capital were eliminated.

But to be honest, there is a saying that the Chu family has disciples all over the world. It seems that all the officials taught by Chu Hang in the court have been replaced, but it does not mean that Chu Hang's influence is gone.

This Zhou Xiande can be regarded as a great admirer of Chu Hang. After he came to power, he always wanted to learn from Chu Hang. Although he only learned a few superficial similarities, it has to be said that his existence was mostly positive for the court.

Yu Ziye only listened outside for a few moments and did not dare to stay. He immediately asked the eunuch outside to pass the message, and then was summoned into the imperial study.

Going in was obviously to help the emperor attract firepower, but secretly it was to protect these direct ministers.

When he came out of the imperial study again, it was already half an hour later. Yu Ziye came out with Zhou Xiande and others.

One group versus one, the two sides were clearly differentiated when they came out, with unkind expressions on their faces. After walking out of Wenqing Palace together, Zhou Xiande suddenly stopped and looked at Yu Ziye. The officials around him naturally stopped, but Yu Ziye did not stop.

Zhou Xiande just looked at Yu Ziye without speaking, with some thoughts in his eyes, but the Minister of Rites next to him couldn't help but speak.

"Master Yu, being His Majesty's yes-man will help you gain favor, but don't you think about how you will be remembered in the history books?"

Yu Ziye paused, turned around, smiled and shook his head.

"How dare a little person like Yu dare to ask for a name in Qingshi! However, if all the adults come to the imperial study room to talk about things together, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain. Prime Minister Zhou, and all the adults, since Yu has official duties, they will not accompany you! "

After saying that, Yu Ziye saluted, turned around and left quickly. However, before he turned around, in addition to seeing a few people glaring angrily, he also saw Zhou Xiande salute back to him.

But Yu Ziye didn't say anything, he just strode away.

"For a treacherous and sycophant like Mr. Zhou, what are you doing in return?" "That's right, he's just going too far!"

"say no more!"

Zhou Xiande stopped the others, sighed and left from another way, and the others naturally followed.

Zhou Xiande had a bad temper, but he asked himself that he was not crazy. Yu Ziye had clearly come out of the siege just now. If the ministers forced him to remonstrate, it would be fine if the emperor listened to the advice. But if he didn't, what would happen to the person who forced him to remonstrate?

Whether you like it or not, some things cannot be changed.

As time went by, news of the unveiling of the emperor's list spread to the capital one after another, and more and more people in the capital gradually talked about it after dinner.

Folks said anything. Some said that the emperor wanted to pray for the country and the country and hold a water and land ceremony. Some said that the emperor asked immortals to pursue immortality. Some said that there was a "fight among immortals".

In short, the common people probably know that the capital is going to be lively, and many people are looking forward to it out of curiosity. They are looking forward to seeing some real masters and gods, and they are also looking forward to the appearance of the Heavenly Master.

Immortal cultivators and gods from all walks of life disdain to respond, but there are indeed many people who want to expose Emperor Dayong's imperial status.

Since the winter of that year, so-called masters have been pouring into the capital. Some of them came with local officials, and some of them trekked to the capital on their own.

In the markets and streets of Chengtian Prefecture, people in the capital increasingly see various experts wearing strange clothes, or those who look like robes at first glance.

Of course, not everyone is qualified for the emperor's recruitment, and those who are purely here to defraud should think carefully.

The number of so-called "master magicians" detained in the prison of Chengtian Mansion during this period is also increasing rapidly. Some so-called magicians deceived the officials in front of them and were exposed on the spot by the people of Sitian Prison at the stage of face-to-face. That is not as good as being imprisoned. Simple.

That was the crime of deceiving the emperor. Three people had been beheaded on the streets of the capital.

This also frightened many of the "magicians" who rushed to the capital and did not dare to act rashly. Although the emperor was throwing a banquet in the capital this time, he had to think carefully if he wanted to eat this bowl of rice.

In the middle of winter, the weather was getting colder and colder. Xiao Yuzhi was walking on the streets of the capital wearing the official uniform he had not worn for a long time. He was followed by four famous arresters of Chengtian Mansion, who were all Xiao Yuzhi's juniors and disciples.

Xiao Yuzhi is very old, but now he personally leads the public servants to patrol the capital, also because he has worries in his heart.

Walking on the street with his disciples, Xiao Yuzhi looked calm, while several famous arrests had lightning-like eyes. With a quick glance, they could see some people wearing robes.

Some of the robes are bright and beautiful, while others are slightly shabby. Most of them will subconsciously avoid the eyes of these detectives.

It has been more than three months since the imperial list was issued, and the court has basically set the tone. Si Tianjian is presiding over the emperor to watch. There will be a "Dharma Appraisal Conference". At that time, the world's masters will show their magical powers. Those who can win the emperor's favor will become rich. expensive.

Not only mages will come to such grand gatherings, but also businessmen, Confucianists, chivalrous people, bandits, and all the good people in the world will come to join in the fun.

During this period, the number of cases in the capital was also rising rapidly, but the public servants in the capital were not just for food. Several big-name arrests were dispatched, and many fake mages and real gangsters were captured.

Therefore, when meeting a police officer, many "mages" will subconsciously avoid it, and those who do not avoid it will try to keep a low profile.

Of course, the police won't just arrest people when they see them, they still have to provide evidence.

Xiao Yuzhi had already retired from the front line and was now regarded as the honorary chief instructor of the Criminal Department. However, during this period of chaos in the capital, he actually came out in person, and naturally all the famous arrests from Chengtian Mansion gathered here.

Not only was he accompanying Xiao Yuzhi on a tour of the capital, but he could also report the situation in front of the teacher.

Xiao Yuzhi did not have a beard, only some stubble on his chin, and his hair was gray at the temples under his hat, but his figure was tall and tall, his steps were still powerful, and his eyes were not as aggressive as those of the disciples behind him.

People along the way will subconsciously avoid these public servants. Even if they have a sharp eye and recognize some of them, they will not dare to approach them if they come into contact with their stern eyes.

From Chengtianmen Front Street to the back, then to the city gate, and all the way to the outer port, Xiao Yuzhi, who just watched and said nothing along the way, finally spoke.

"How are you doing these days?"

The nearest detective immediately answered.

"Master, there was chaos in the capital a month ago, and there were even some murders, but now it's under control!"

"Well! Have any of these magic masters seen any real masters?"

One of the detectives thought about his answer.

"Most of them are people who want to mess around, and some are unscrupulous sorcerers. They don't have any means to see through, but there are indeed some who can't see through!"

"Yes, Si Tianjian sent someone to pick up a mage from the government office the day before yesterday. His aura is very concerning."

"I've also seen it. He doesn't have the feeling of a warrior's rising energy and blood. I tried a hand, and he has internal strength but not strong, but he can catch my palm that seems to be gentle but is actually powerful. Maybe it's the so-called Mana!"

A few people talked while walking, most of them were talking to Xiao Yuzhi from a few famous catchers, and soon they arrived near Chengtian Port.

Xiao Yuzhi looked at the busy port, and suddenly looked at a large ship in the distance. There was something very interesting on the deck in the middle of the ship, which was a large alchemy furnace with many wooden boards underneath.

Just by looking at it, Xiao Yuzhi felt a scorching heat as if in an illusion, and the alchemy furnace seemed to be still burning!

There is a pier in the port that has set up wooden equipment, obviously preparing to unload the big alchemy furnace.

At about the same time, Xiao Yuzhi looked at another pier in the port. It seemed that something that made him feel uncomfortable passed away, but he found nothing.

"There must be some masters coming, and there are probably quite a few monsters and monsters here, so don't take it lightly!"

"Yes!" "It's Master!"

After Xiao Yuzhi looked away, in the cabin of a large ship in the direction he was originally looking, someone couldn't help but pat his chest.

As expected of Dayong Capital, the look in the eyes of an old policeman can be so heart-stopping.
