Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

The Emperor of Qingyun Kingdom, "Shangguan Qingyun", successfully passed the tribulation and spent three years to stabilize his realm and finally came out of seclusion.

When he was listening to the affairs of state, he learned that Chu Wen had refused to accept the imperial edict.

Shangguan Qingyun was grateful to Chu Wen for helping him break through, so he didn't pursue the matter and wanted to let it go.

But then the Minister of Revenue Zhao Yunting said:

"Chu Wen has the talent to govern the world. If he is left alone without an official position, it would be a mistake for the court. He once said that he was suffering from a serious illness. If he left Shuiniu County, his illness would get worse. So it would be a good idea to let him take the post of magistrate of Shuiniu County so that he can display his talent and cure his illness."

"Okay." Shangguan Qingyun replied.

The Minister of Personnel "Du Fengzhu" hurriedly stepped out and said loudly:

"Although Chu Wen is a talented writer, he is still young and does not have the ability to govern a region. If he is promoted suddenly, I am afraid he will not be able to cope with the task. In addition, the Magistrate of Shuiniu County is the son of Minister Zhao. In this case, how should Master Zhao deal with him?"

Zhao Yunting and Du Fengzhu have never gotten along and have been fighting secretly for many years.

Du Fengzhu was very dissatisfied that Zhao Yunting bypassed him, the Minister of Personnel, and recommended officials directly to the emperor.

"I am willing to be a guarantor. If Chu Wen fails to govern well, I will take the blame myself. My son is too dull to be useful, so just let him return to being a commoner." Zhao Yunting bowed deeply to the emperor and answered solemnly.

These words surprised Du Fengzhu.

When Zhao Yunting recommended Chu Wen three years ago, he investigated Chu Wen.

They knew that Chu Wen was just a playboy who wrote poems and lyrics. He not only had no experience in governance, but was also extremely young.

Now, not only did Zhao Yunting ask his son to give Chu Wenteng a position, he also gambled his own future. Is he crazy?

Du Fengzhu was delighted to see Zhao Yunting reveal such a big flaw. Just as she was about to follow up on this matter, she heard the emperor say:

"Chu Wen will be appointed as the Magistrate of Shuiniu County, and the former Magistrate will be transferred to Pinghu Prefecture. Other personnel matters will be arranged by Minister Du at his discretion. No need to say more."

Shangguan Qingyun was able to successfully break through the realm thanks to the poems of Chu Wen handed over by Zhao Yunting. Compared with breaking through the realm, these trivial matters of being granted official titles are simply not worth mentioning.

Zhao Yunting was shocked. He thought his son was too pedantic and wanted him to give Chu Wenteng a position. Unexpectedly, his son was promoted instead.

The emperor has always been fair in his dealings. This time, not only did he not pursue Chu Wen's crime of disobeying the emperor's order, he also easily granted Chu Wen an actual position and even promoted his own son for no reason.

Zhao Yunting racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Du Fengzhu knew that this was a great opportunity to bring down Zhao Yunting, and she was secretly delighted.

Zhao Yunting personally guaranteed Chu Wen in front of the emperor, so if anything happened to Chu Wen, Zhao Yunting would be held responsible.

……

At noon that day, He Xiangu cooked a large pot of spiritual mutton.

The Fengyinju family was sitting together having lunch.

Xiu'er tried hard to put some meat into her brother's bowl, and said anxiously:

"Eat quickly, brother, or Master will eat it all."

The old monk gritted his teeth in anger and said, "I only ate one piece!"

"Master clearly ate two pieces. I saw it." Hua Yan said seriously.

“Hahahaha…” Chu Wen laughed so hard that he spit out his food when he saw the old monk’s face turned green with anger.

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the gate of Fengyinju:

"The imperial edict has been issued! Chu Wen accepts it!"

again!

Chu Wen was shocked.

He quickly ate the spiritual meat in the bowl and ran to the door in a hurry.

When he opened the door, he found that the three people who delivered the imperial edict last time were there, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Seeing Chu Wen standing at the door in a daze, Duan Ming, the attendant of the imperial court, found it funny and said:

"The emperor has issued an order. Chu Wen kneels down to listen to it."

Chu Wen knelt down helplessly, looking at the imperial edict anxiously.

I only heard Duan Mingnian say:

"The emperor has decreed that Cha Chu is a man of outstanding talent and compassion for the people, and he is appointed Magistrate of Shuiniu County. He is to take up the post today. I decree this."

Chu Wen thought he had heard it wrong, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What does the emperor mean?"

"The emperor has appointed you as the magistrate of Shuiniu County. Why don't you accept the order quickly?" Duan Ming said, trying not to laugh.

"what!"

Chu Wen was confused: "County magistrate? Buffalo County? Why?"

"Why is it that only the emperor knows? Why don't you come back to the capital with me and ask the emperor in person?"

Duan Ming almost laughed out loud when he saw Chu Wen's confused look.

The old monk and others were all hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. Xiu'er couldn't help but run out and threw herself on Chu Wen's back.

"Brother, brother! You are going to be an official!"

Chu Wen knelt on the ground, raised his hand and touched Xiu'er's head, and said to Duan Ming helplessly:

"Can I not be an official?"

Chu Wen's life after building his foundation was so comfortable that he wouldn't even trade it for a god, let alone being an official.

What's good about being an official? You're busy all day long. Today Zhang's chicken is lost, and tomorrow Li's cow runs away.

He worked so hard to earn only a few dozen taels of silver a month, and it wasted his time on cultivation.

"Ah? You want to disobey the order again?" Duan Ming was shocked.

Duan Ming was surprised that the emperor did not punish him last time he disobeyed the emperor's order, and now he does it again this time!

Duan Ming stared at Chu Wen in astonishment, stretched out his hand and took out a letter from his bosom, saying:

"This is a letter from Minister Zhao. Lord Zhao said that if you disobey his order, this letter will be given to you."

Chu Wen was shocked when he heard this, and quickly took the letter, opened it, and saw that it said:

"If you defy the imperial edict again, I will send people to abduct you and bring you to the capital. ~ Zhao Yunting."

"what!"

Chu Wen exclaimed.

Damn it, there are people forcing people to become officials!

Duan Ming saw Chu Wen's bitter face, handed over the imperial edict, and said jokingly:

"Lord Chu? Do you accept this decree or not?"

"Continue, after, after."

Chu Wen quickly reached out and took the imperial edict.

"Brother, let me see, let me see."

As Xiu'er spoke, she reached out and took the imperial edict from Chu Wen's hand, opened it and read it.

Duan Ming frowned and wanted to scold her, but when he saw that the little girl was really cute, he held back.

The palace guard "Cao Zhi" who accompanied Duan Ming to announce the decree was Du Fengzhu's confidant.

He was asked by Shangshu Du to carefully study Chu culture and report in time.

Now that he had Chu Wen's handle, he immediately shouted:

"How dare you! You little brat, you don't know how to live or die. How dare you defy the imperial edict? You are so audacious and reckless, you don't care about your own life!"

Xiu'er was frightened by the loud shout and quickly hid behind Chu Wen.

Chu Wen looked back and saw Xiu'er was so scared that her eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry.

He was furious, and stood up suddenly. He pointed at Cao Zhi with one hand, veins popping out on his arm, and shouted:

"Come at me if you can! What's the point of being mean to a kid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qinghuayi was already standing behind Chu Wen with a gloomy face.

Cao Zhi was yelled at by Chu Wen and was about to get angry when he suddenly felt himself surrounded by a terrifying aura, as if he would die if he moved a finger.

His hair stood on end, cold sweat ran down his face, and he was filled with fear.

Cao Zhi was originally a congenital warrior, and his martial arts skills were unrivaled in the world, but he was frightened out of his wits by Chu Wen's loud shout. His legs were trembling, and he didn't even dare to say a word.

"Baby, don't be afraid."

Chu Wen bent down and picked up Xiu'er, then shouted to Cao Zhi, "Apologize!"

Duan Ming was just trying to smooth things over when he heard Cao Zhi's trembling voice behind him:

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Duan Ming was shocked when he heard this, and looked back at Cao Zhi in surprise.

Cao Zhi's face turned pale and he was shaking all over, as if he had seen a ghost.

Duan Ming was filled with confusion. Cao Zhi had always been arrogant and relied on his extraordinary martial arts skills. He did not even take ordinary cultivators seriously. So what happened to him now?

Chu Wen wiped away Xiu'er's tears with his hands and spoke softly.

"The baby stopped crying. He apologized."

"Ah."

Xiu'er had tears in her eyes, she smiled and nodded obediently.

Chu Wen ignored the three people in front of the door, turned around and left with Xiu'er in his arms.

"Let's go eat."

"Brother, hurry up, or the meat will be gone."
