Chapter 4 [Little Emperor]
At this moment, eight thousand miles away.
There are towering towers hundreds of feet tall, standing in the huge city.
This city was the imperial capital of the dynasty. The tall building was called the Palace of the Gods. On the top of the building, there was a warrior standing with his hands behind his back. The armor on his body was filled with golden light, and in his hand was an ancient bronze spear.
It seems to be looking at the sky, but also like looking down at the common people.
Suddenly, the golden-armored warrior's eyes narrowed and he stared far away in a certain direction, as if he wanted to penetrate eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers and see through the changes in a certain place.
After a moment of wandering, the golden-armored warrior murmured in a low voice, slightly surprised: "Tonight is quite interesting. In the middle of the night, there was a village where the fog dissipated. A small village eight thousand miles away..."
A group of nobles were standing not far away. After hearing this, someone immediately started joking and flattered: "Since the fog in the village has dissipated, the danger at night must have been eliminated. Based on many years of experience, it can be concluded that the village should have enough night watchmen."
Basic merit.”
Another noble also spoke up, and said with the same flattery: "You are right, the night watchman must have accumulated enough merits, otherwise those people who have five shortcomings and three shortcomings will never be able to dispel the fog at night. From this point of view, there are
People among the people take the road given by God."
The nobleman from before spoke again, with a look of sincere admiration: "Although the position of the night watchman is very humble, it is the only way for the people of Guizhou to advance. They watch at night, and the gods will grant them merit. Once they accumulate the basic merit,
, you have the threshold to step into the divine family...God is so kind, even the head of Guizhou Province is given a chance."
The little emperor subconsciously looked into the distance and murmured: "The village is called Zhangjiacun? Then this person's surname should be Zhang."
The little emperor was so surprised that his voice trembled: "Really? There are twenty-seven places? Doesn't this mean that there are twenty-seven more people in our dynasty who can practice?"
One of the beautiful girls even asked with a smile: "Since the high priest ordered to follow the old rules, then these night watchmen can only be pawns in the beginning, right?"
The old chamberlain looked pleased: "Your Majesty is smart, calm and measured, and watching quietly like this shows your imperial demeanor."
The little emperor nodded: "So the person who can accumulate enough merit in the first half of the night must be a person with great luck or great talent."
The little emperor was startled for a moment, and his excited expression was a little dejected: "Yes, the high priest will definitely give the order. This has been the rule since ancient times. For the awakened night watchmen among the people, the God's Family Mansion has the priority to recruit them."
The old chamberlain was startled and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Don't be too hasty. Although you want to treat talents favorably, there are already county magistrates in various places. If these twenty-seven people are all named county magistrates, the original county magistrates
Isn’t it heartbreaking?”
He glanced at me coldly and said sternly: "You are mocking and scornful and speaking condescendingly. Could it be that you have forgotten the origins of your ancestors, and you are also a bunch of scumbags."
However, the old chamberlain sighed and said in a low voice again: "But the great priest has given the order to recruit these twenty-seven people into the God's Family Mansion."
"Hehe! They will die!"
The two noble nobles spoke one after another, and their words were full of compliments to the gods, but they also spoke in a condescending tone to the common people.
When the two nobles were scolded, their faces suddenly became frightened, and they repeatedly complained: "Great Priest, spare your life, we will never dare to do it again."
"Hahaha, very good!"
The old chamberlain reported back: "Eight thousand miles away, in the south of Dongmeng Mountain, there is a county town named Yicheng. Twenty miles outside the city, there is a village called Zhangjiacun."
The girl's smile is as bright as a flower.
The little emperor clapped his hands heavily and said in surprise: "The night watchmen must be dissatisfied if they criticize talents so harshly. My opportunity has come, and I will make them all county magistrates."
He smiled again and said deliberately: "Even if we want to treat them favorably, the rules of the God's Family's Mansion cannot be broken, right? For a bunch of mud-legged people, being able to enter the God's Family's Mansion is already a treat."
The old chamberlain nodded again: "Since ancient times, the night has been fierce. The first half of the night is relatively safe, and the second half of the night is very difficult. Therefore, it is difficult for the night watchman to accumulate merit in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night is when the merit is gained."
After another pause, he deliberately warned: "People among the people are from humble backgrounds, but they rely on their own efforts and work hard to accumulate merit. The more such people are, the more talented they are, so you must treat them kindly in the future."
We are all on the same journey."
The little emperor laughed heartily and said with renewed vigor: "If this happens, our court will not break the rules. As an emperor, I do not compete for talents, but give the night watchmen a job they want to do.
"
But it's just a matter of being recruited into the Divine Palace. You need to slowly climb up from the lowest level. Even if you work hard and conscientiously, you may not be promoted a few times in your life.
Suddenly his tone changed, and he ordered in a deep voice: "I look at the mist of the earth at night. The imperial dynasty governs 10,000 miles of mountains and rivers. There are twenty-seven villages tonight, and each of them has eliminated the danger of the village. From this, it can be inferred that there are twenty-seven vigils."
People accumulate enough merit..."
An old chamberlain hurriedly delivered a brochure and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, a message has been sent from the divine palace. Last night, the great priest looked over the 10,000-mile area under the imperial dynasty's jurisdiction. There were 27 villages in total that eliminated the fog."
After being scolded, the girl's face showed a delicate look. Just when she was about to say something back, she was glared coldly by the high priest. The girl could only suppress her dissatisfaction and stomped her feet angrily.
The old chamberlain continued to chuckle: "It is said that after being recruited into the government, they will all be recruited into the most dangerous night watch team. As for their positions, they are all pawns."
…
He paused and then continued: "In this way, the county magistrates in various places can take action according to the situation of the local government offices. For example, some places can offer the post of county captain, and some places can provide the treatment of the chief arrester of the county government..."
The little emperor laughed, obviously happy about recruiting people.
At the same time, it was still the imperial capital.
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up and she said in surprise: "Night watch team? Very good!"
After descending from the tall building, the girl suddenly snorted angrily and said with a savage tone: "Tonight, these twenty-seven night watchmen must not be treated too well. I am so angry that the high priest actually reprimanded me."
The girl looked disdainful and curled her lips: "The imperial court? The imperial court also has to serve the gods, right? Even the emperor of the imperial court must bow before the high priest."
"And I am here to watch quietly and not take any action, so as not to disrupt the official positions in various places. After all, the official vacancies in each locality are different."
The high priest heard the contempt in the girl's tone, but for some reason he did not criticize him harshly. Instead, he sighed slightly and taught earnestly: "Girl, you have to remember that in the dynasty, it is not only the God's Family House that is in power. If you don't pay attention to talents,
It will be snatched away by the imperial court."
The old chamberlain nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty's wish may be true. It is said that there was one village where the fog was dispersed last night in the middle of the night."
The high priest asked them to regard Lannimi Legs as a fellow traveler?
How ridiculous.
Mud Qianshou is its name.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Each of the twenty-seven night watchmen last night is a pillar of the future. If they all enter the imperial court, they will definitely become the mainstay. But I am still a little greedy. Are there any outstanding people among them?
?”
A group of divine nobles agreed one after another and retreated from the top of the tall building.
The golden-armored warrior was quite satisfied, nodded in approval and said: "You can correct your mistakes if you know them, and you can never do good. You are all rising stars in various wealthy families. I hope you can go even higher in the future."
The nobles present nodded repeatedly, but their expressions were somewhat disapproving.
But they are different. Their ancestors have accumulated it for several generations or even dozens of generations, and now they have reached high positions in the headquarters of the gods. They are born to be aloof beings.
Only the golden-armored warrior frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased, and scolded him: "Even though he is from the common people, he has accumulated enough merits and has embarked on the road of God's care. He is our fellow traveler."
The middle man..."
…
The little emperor said: "But I must make them feel treated with courtesy, so that I can snatch them into the court... Uh, no, I don't want to steal people from the Divine Family Mansion."
As he spoke, he sighed and murmured: "But I am very eager, very eager for these pillars. If they become officials of the imperial court, they can protect the peace of various places. But if they enter the God's Family Mansion, they will slowly be affected.
Due to the influence of the gods, from now on, they only focus on chasing the gods’ gifts, and few people will sincerely protect the people.”
But I don't think so in my heart. I feel that the high priest is making a fuss out of a molehill. He is just a newly awakened night watchman. Does he deserve to be treated so seriously?
You must know that the imperial dynasty covers an area of 10,000 miles and has hundreds of thousands of villages. Almost every night there are night watchmen who have accumulated enough merits and awakened their basic strength to step into the God's Family. Once they set foot on the path of the God's Family, they are eligible to be recruited into the God's Family Mansion.
.
The high priest frowned and finally scolded: "Since ancient times, the gods have decrees. The emperor is the emperor of a country. He and the high priest jointly rule the dynasty. They have equal status. How can we say courtesy?"
It was clearly not yet dawn, but the diligent little emperor had already gotten up.
The old servant added: "Even if you want to be treated politely, you can't be rich and generous without merit. The old slave has a suggestion. In fact, yamen everywhere are looking forward to such talents. So why doesn't your majesty give you the power to let the county magistrates in various places come up with their own benefits?
Go recruit people..."
"Hahaha, okay!"
This group of nobles secretly ridiculed in their hearts, but their faces showed submissiveness. They kept nodding and saying: "The great priest's lesson is right, we must bow down and reflect on ourselves."
The little emperor's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "It's the middle of the night? It's hard to earn merit in the first half of the night. So, doesn't it mean that this person is extremely outstanding?"
The young noble continued to chuckle and said: "The night watch team is responsible for patrolling the wilderness and has to face the monsters and monsters in the thick fog. If it is an elite team, it can barely survive... But, a group of night watchmen have just been recruited."
When the old chamberlain heard the emperor's depressed tone and looked at the young emperor's longing face, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
A young noble hurriedly stepped forward, chuckled and offered advice: "There are regulations in the divine palace policy. The first recruits lack merit, so they can be incorporated into the night watch team according to the local conditions..."
"Quick, quick, quick, let the officials issue a notice as soon as possible. All twenty-seven people were recruited into the yamen of various places last night."
The old chamberlain had a profound look on his face and said with a low smile: "Although rules are rules, favors are favors. If the night watchman himself does not want to enter the God's Mansion, but wants to work as an errand in the local government..."
The high priest sighed, waved his hands helplessly and said: "All of you, please go down. Remember that you are the rising stars of each family. You should work hard and accumulate merit. The more merit you accumulate, the higher you will be promoted."
Although the emperor was young, he was very shrewd. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked in surprise: "Are they planning to make things difficult? Don't I have a chance?"
He rubbed his hands excitedly as he spoke, and asked the chamberlain hurriedly: "Please tell me quickly, how are the young ladies in the God's Family Mansion going to make things difficult for the night watchman?"
As he spoke, he asked urgently again: "Where is this person from last night?"
He paused for a moment and then continued: "According to the old rules, send a message to the God's Family Mansion in various places to recruit all the twenty-seven night watchmen into the God's Family Mansion."
The little emperor looked excited and kept muttering to himself: "The more people who practice, the better off the people will be. With the protection of practitioners, the fog at night will no longer be dangerous, and the poor people can sleep peacefully after a busy day..."
There was obviously a hint in the words of this chamberlain. Although he stopped talking, he made it clear: "The old slave has some informants in the Divine Family Mansion, and he gave me some gossip. It is said that it was because of the great priest's scolding that several people were killed.
The young nobles were dissatisfied, so they prepared to make things difficult..."
The little emperor thought thoughtfully and said: "If the position is not attractive enough, the county magistrates can make up for it in other ways, such as giving money or giving a house.
The old chamberlain nodded with a smile: "Most of the people gather together in villages, so this person should be named Zhang."
The little emperor rubbed his hands excitedly: "This is the pillar of our dynasty. He can dispel the fog in the middle of the night. I hope he will enter the local government office."
"Your Majesty, treat others with kindness as Your Majesty wishes." The old chamberlain said with hints, his eyes as deep as the abyss, "The county magistrate of Yicheng is a broad-minded official."
The little emperor calmed down and said with great expectation: "Very good, very good. I am waiting and hoping that he can recruit people to the county government."
Chapter completed!
