Chapter 239

239 The aftermath of the inscription (1)

Not even two months?

The Golden gongs silently exchanged glances, secretly guessing the meaning behind these words-less than two months!

It was obvious that this was some kind of time limit, or time had crossed the scale.

However, what ‘less than two months’ meant was the most important.

The Golden gongs signaled each other with their eyes, urging each other to ask, but they also knew that the Duke of Wei was in a fit of anger, so no one dared to touch his bad luck. If it was an extremely terrible thing, wouldn’t it be a channel for Lord Wei to vent his anger?

A piece of paper would be transferred to the border, and it would be easy …

Wei Yuan thought back to the time when he was still a martial artist. Even though he was regarded as the most promising talent in Da Feng in the past 500 years, it took him three and a half months to go from the Qi refining stage to the spirit refining stage.

Xu Qi ‘an, who had accomplished this feat in less than two months, was more talented than he had expected. Before this, Wei Yuan had admired Xu Qi’ an’s character.

A person’s heart was also a type of talent.

As for Xu Qi ‘an’s cultivation speed, Wei Yuan had heard that Xu Qi’ an had filled his middle dantian with Qi, so he had a whole new level of respect for Xu Qi ‘an.

At the end of spring next year, this kid would be able to advance to the spirit-forging stage. To advance a grade in five months, his talent was on the same level as Jin Gong.

In addition, he was born to walk the martial arts system. In the future, he might become the second North vanquishing Prince-a rank-3 martial artist.

Who would have thought that Xu Qi ‘an’s talent was even more powerful than he had expected?

The most important thing was that Xu Qi ‘an had unknowingly done something shocking:

Qi refining stage double visualization.

The Buddha’s lion’s roar was an absolute art, but it needed to be paired with a visualization catalog. This type of visualization catalog was far from comparable to a real one. After all, the Golden lion’s roar was only used as an auxiliary technique.

It was a supporting part of an absolute art.

But even so, Xu Qi ‘an was able to achieve double visualization in the Qi refining realm, which was still shocking.

The all-knowing Wei Yuan quickly thought of three possibilities.

One, two souls in one body.

There were many records in the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Region that after an eminent monk passed away, he would be revived in the body of a child. Not only would he have a complete memory, but he would also be born proficient in Buddhism.

This was because the remnant soul of the senior monk had fused with the newborn child. This kind of primordial spirit was innately stronger than ordinary people and had many magical aspects. It could achieve double visualization when it was insignificant. This was because their primordial spirits were not weak.

Two, a person with great destiny.

This kind of person was extremely rare, and anyone with great fortune was a powerful expert whose name shook a region. For example, the Dao chief of Dao sect, the supervisor of si Tian Jian, the witch God of witch God religion, and so on.

Three, the blessing of an elder.

There was nothing much to say about this kind of people. The proud Children of Heaven were different from ordinary people from the beginning.

“Cough, cough …” Nangong qianrou cleared her throat.

He was the representative pushed out by the gongs. Yang Yan wasn’t present, and he was the only one present at Duke of Wei’s foster son’s place. Duke of Wei probably couldn’t bear to send his foster son to the border.

“Foster father, what can I do for you?” Nangong Qian braced herself and said.

Wei Yuan looked at him and closed the booklet. He poured himself a cup of tea and said in a relaxed tone, “”It’s nothing. It’s just a small matter,”

A small matter? You almost couldn’t control your expression just now … The Golden gongs complained in their hearts.

Then, they noticed a change in Wei Yuan’s mood. Although he was still calm and collected, it was the calm before the storm. Now, it was sunny and gentle.

It seemed that the secret letter contained good news … What was written in it? “Foster father, what did the letter say?” Nangong qianrou asked curiously.

Wei Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. Xu Qi ‘an has broken through to the spirit-refinement realm. The letter was sent by Jiang Luzhong at the border of Yunzhou. He should have successfully broken through to the spirit-refinement realm by now.

Wei Yuan didn’t disclose the matter of the double visualization.

‘That’s impossible …’ Nangong qianrou almost shouted out.

Xu Qi ‘an had just joined the night watchman, and he had successfully attracted his foster father’s attention in the test of the heart questioning gate. At that time, he and Yang Yan were right beside him.

It could be said that Nangong qianrou had watched Xu Qi ‘an grow up and knew his roots the best.

When this person became the night watchman, he was still at the peak of the spirit refinement realm. In Nangong qianrou’s opinion, he was a weak existence that could be killed with a ” ha “.

Although his foster father had said that this child had great potential and Nangong qianrou had also agreed, he still could not accept it.

In less than two months, the ninth-grade essence-refining stage had advanced to the seventh-grade spirit-refining stage. It had already reached the lowest standard of a silver Gong.

“If Yang Yan was here, the corner of his mouth would have cracked to the root of his ear …” Nangong qianrou thought sourly.

Zhang Kaitai-who had condensed his sword will-was also feeling sour. He had thought of recruiting Xu Qi-an in the past, and he had even thought of the methods-silver and seduction.

Due to Jin Luo’s reputation, he was too embarrassed to implement it.

“Xu Qi ‘an is so talented? In the future, our Yamen will probably have another Jingong.”

“It’s good, it’s good that he didn’t die because of that Zhu guy.”

Jin Luo was shocked, but he could not hide his joy.

If another rank-4 martial artist emerged from the night watchman’s office, the overall influence and strength would go up another level.

High-ranked martial artists were hard to come by, and high-ranked martial artists who were nurtured by their own forces were even harder to come by.

Apart from Nangong qianrou, the lemon spirit, the rest of Jin Luo’s people were sighing with emotion.

This was the benefit of having a good impression. People would be more willing to accept a high-ranked martial artist who had a more bottom line than most night watchmen.

If it was a devious villain who had advanced to the high ranks, they would unconsciously be afraid. But Xu Qi ‘an didn’t have to be like this. He was willing to kill his superior for an irrelevant girl. From another perspective, he was actually protecting his bottom line.

If this continued, his foster father would probably take him in as his foster son … ‘Yang Yan is so quiet and won’t fight with me for favor. That annoying Xu Qi’ an is very slippery …’ Nangong qianrou thought sourly.

Wei Yuan looked at the waterdrop in the corner and waved his hand, “”You may leave. I don’t want a similar mistake to happen again. Qianrou, prepare the carriage and follow me into the palace.”

The small court Assembly was in an hour.

Emperor Yuan jing didn’t attend the morning court because it conflicted with the time when he meditated. There was only a small court meeting every three to five days, but it was not very frequent.

The last small court Assembly was four days ago.

….

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone pavement of the street. Nangong qianrou pulled on the reins and the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Taking down the small stool hanging under the carriage, Nangong qianrou welcomed Wei Yuan down the carriage. She handed the reins to the Golden guard and followed the back of the man in green.

In the Imperial study, Emperor Yuan jing sat on a gold-plated chair and glanced at the ministers. He said emotionlessly, ”

I’ve already had the cabinet make a copy of the report sent back by the administration office of Yuzhou and send it to all of you. I want to know your thoughts.

The Minister of Revenue took the lead and said in a clear voice, “”This subject believes that this is only an example of Yuzhou. Zhang xingying’s claim that there are spies in the water transportation Yamen of every state in the great Feng is complete nonsense.”

“Zhang xingying’s words lack evidence and can not be trusted. We only need to investigate Yuzhou’s inland-water transportation Yamen,” the Ministry of Works echoed.

Many officials stood up to add on, their attitude obvious.They didn’t check the water transport Yamen.

The word ” water transportation ” had always been a problem since ancient times. The interest groups involved were too large, from the capital to the local areas, from the Imperial court to the Jianghu. It was a complicated matter. There were too many people involved.

Emperor Yuan jing looked at the Prime Minister. what do you think, Minister Wang? ”

“I think that we should investigate the shipping business in Yuzhou thoroughly,” the chief Assistant said.

“Wei Yuan, do you have any objections?” Emperor Yuan jing looked at da Qing Yi.

“I have the same opinion as the chief Assistant.” Wei Yuan replied.

The officials looked away from Wei Yuan.

Chief advisor Wang tilted his head and glanced at Wei Yuan. He was both tacitly aware of the situation and a little disappointed. At this critical juncture in the capital, whoever dared to propose a thorough investigation of the water transport Yamen would be cutting off their own official circles.

The two old rivals would not make such a low-level mistake, but they also hoped that the other party would make a mistake.

Emperor Yuan jing nodded. His eyes were deep, and no one could tell his emotions.

“The governor of Qingzhou sent back a Memorial. Yang Gong has set up a commandment monument in all the major yamens of Qingzhou.They ate and lived, the People’s wealth. The lower class was easy to bully, but the heavens were hard to bully.

“The chief administrator of Qingzhou believes that this poem is deafening and has the effect of warning all the officials. He suggests that the court order all the provinces to follow suit and set up a commandment monument.

“What do you think?”

In the Imperial study, the officials were in an uproar, whispering to each other.

“Good poem, good poem!” One of them stood out excitedly and shouted,”This poem is simply a stroke of genius, it’s wonderful beyond words. This is the poem that I should have, and not ‘a faint fragrance floating in the evening moon’ or ‘a boat full of clear dreams pressing on the Galaxy’.

I’m so excited. Your Majesty, please order all the provinces to follow suit and set up a commandment monument in all the major offices.

This Memorial to the matter received the agreement of all the Dukes present. Since it did not involve any conflicts of interest or party disputes, the Dukes suddenly became lighthearted and dared to speak up and express their own opinions.

However, not everyone agreed. There were also some who were unwilling to see yang Gong become famous. After all, this governor of Qingzhou was a scholar of Yunlu Academy.

But even more people hoped that the Imperial court would do so. This way, when news of this matter spread, it would be beneficial to the Imperial court’s image in the hearts of the people. It would be very beneficial.

This was the same logic as scholars liking reputation.

In recent years, from the common people to the aristocrats, from the common people to the Squire, the curses had been endless. The matter of setting up the commandment monument could restore some of the reputation of the Imperial court.

Chief advisor Wang stepped out of the ranks. I propose to follow the example of the Qingzhou chief administrator.

In fact, Emperor Yuan jing had the same idea. Although he was an immortal cultivator, he didn’t care about the state affairs, and he accumulated wealth without limit, he felt that he was a good Emperor.

“Yang Gong’s reputation as a great scholar is not in vain. This poem was born during my reign, and it will definitely go down in history. Not only do I want to set up a commandment monument in the Yamen of each province, I also want to write it myself and take it to make a copy.” Emperor Yuan jing laughed.

“When yang Gong got first place in the imperial examination, his poetry was outstanding.” Chief advisor Wang also laughed.

Wei Yuan was the only one who was dumbfounded.

They ate and lived, the People’s wealth. It was easy for the commoners to be bullied, but not for the heavens … Wasn’t this the poem that Xu Qi ‘an had written in the heart questioning pass?

How did it become yang Gong’s?

Or was it that this was yang Gong’s poem, and Xu Qi ‘an had heard his cousin Xu niannian’s story?

Wei Yuan quickly denied this speculation. In terms of poetry, a hundred yang gongs could not compare to one Xu Qi ‘an.

This poem had only appeared recently. The Imperial inspector’s team was heading south, so they were bound to pass by Qingzhou. In other words, when Xu Qi ‘an returned to Qingzhou, this poem came from Qingzhou.

After thinking it through, Wei Yuan frowned and asked, ” this poem was written by Xu Qi ‘an. Why did Your Majesty ignore it? was it intentional, or did the chief administrator of Qingzhou deliberately not write Xu Qi’ an’s name? ”

The report was sent back to the capital by the Qingzhou chief administrator. This kind of report was usually written by the Yamen officials. After all, the chief administrator could not do everything personally … In other words, there might be officials who deliberately ignored the original author in order to please the chief administrator … When the time came, he only needed to say that it was an oversight when he was writing the memorial and he would be able to brush it off.

“Once the matter is settled, yang Gong’s reputation will be spread along with this poem. At that time, even if yang Gong explains it later, the news will not spread, and the effect will be a problem.

“No one can take away Xu Qi ‘an’s literary name … He’s still too high-profile and too young.” Wei Yuan sighed in his heart and stepped out of the ranks.

“Your Majesty!”
