Chapter 752: Self-inflicted humiliation
Chu Xian nodded: "I talked about it in Zhuge Hong last night, he is a good person, but it's a pity that Zhuge Yanshan expects too much from his illegitimate son." ”
"Bullshit!" Kong Qian smiled: "I think it's their Zhuge family who is greedy for power and wants to return to the top, but I look at them, it's just a fool's dream." ”
"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things, this time Chu Xian can turn the danger into a disaster, that is better than anything else, but in the past ten months, in addition to the Zhuge family, there are still some troublesome things waiting for you to deal with. Cui Huanzhi reminded at this time, what kind of character Chu Xian is, he naturally understands.
When he was a household servant, he had actually just taken office, and he encountered a witch curse and had to hand over his authority to others.
When he comes back this time, there will definitely be a problem of handing over, it was easy to hand over this thing at the beginning, but it will be difficult to take it back again, not to mention, the errand of the household department, which one is fat, who doesn't want to be in power, so others may not be willing to transfer authority.
This incident alone is enough to give Chu Xian a headache for a while, and what Cui Huanzhi said is also this matter.
"Let's go, let's go in first, the pilgrimage meeting is about to begin. Cui Huanzhi said something at this time, and the three of them entered together.
Chu Xian's appearance is indeed shocking, at first, some people didn't recognize Chu Xian, or they thought that Chu Xian had used some kind of illusion to change his appearance.
But there were many Dao Immortals present who used various secret methods to take a look, and they all knew that this was Chu Xian's true appearance.
At the moment, everyone knows that the rumors outside that Chu Xian fell into the Wu Clan's lost life-devouring spell are true, and there is also this kind of witch spell in this world, which has the terrifying power of devouring Shouyuan.
With Chu Xian's current identity, he naturally can't stand below like before.
He is already a Premiere Pavilion-level immortal official, and he also has his own exclusive immortal seat at this moment, and at this moment he is high up, looking at the many officials below.
This is one of the privileges of the Shoufu Pavilion.
This position alone is enough to make people envious, it can be said that it is extremely majestic, and it is no wonder that too many officials dream of one day stepping into the Shoufu Pavilion and becoming the core member of the supreme power.
Chu Xian looked left and right, and also saw several officials of the First Auxiliary Pavilion, and they all nodded slightly with Chu Xian.
In this, Chu Xian saw the six waiters, generally speaking, there are two waiters in the six departments, and next to Chu Xian, there is another waiter in the household department, Liu Jiwen.
The one who temporarily took over Chu Xian's position before was this one.
Liu Jiwen is also a veteran immortal official, he looks like he is in his sixties on the outside, very majestic, compared to others nodding to Chu Xian, this Liu Jiwen chose to turn a blind eye.
Chu Xian probably knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't say much, let alone show dissatisfaction.
belongs to their own authority, the other party has to hand it over, and if it is not handed over, there is no room for negotiation on this point, of course, this Liu Jiwen obviously knows this, the other party knows that sooner or later it will have to be returned, but it can be deliberately difficult before handing it back, or stealing the beam and changing the pillar, and changing some jurisdictional content, these are all possible.
Officials all hope that the more power in their hands is as great as possible, this is a common problem, and Chu Xian himself has it.
Subsequently, Da Sima, Da Situ, General, and General Yu all came, all looking at Chu Xian and nodding, and after a while, Taishi Xiao Yu came in person.
Master Xiao Yu is here, so this court meeting can naturally start officially.
As for Chu Xian's return, it was only mentioned that the others, such as whether Chu Xian had fallen under a witch spell and whether he would die soon, were not mentioned.
Zhuge Hong is a four-rank immortal official, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the court meeting, but he also did not say anything, obviously he and Chu Xian have reached a tacit understanding.
But Zhuge Hong is silent, it doesn't mean that others will not exist in this matter.
Zhuge Yanshan over there couldn't help it, and at this time stepped forward and said: "There is something about the lower official, I feel very unfair, and I don't vomit and feel unhappy." ”
As the head of the Zhuge family, this Zhuge Yanshan is only a five-grade person in Jingzhou at the moment, and his official position is not high, but he is also qualified to participate in the court meeting.
Zhuge Hong's face changed when he saw this, and he wanted to stop it, but in the end he sighed and didn't say anything.
Outsiders can see that Zhuge Hong is very embarrassed, and he can't stop it, and he can't stop it.
However, Zhuge Yanshan has come out, and it is not okay not to let him speak, and there is an immortal official on it who said: "Zhuge Yanshan, what is the matter with you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Zhuge Yanshan looked up at the immortal seat where Chu Xian was at this time, and his eyes were full of heat.
In his opinion, this immortal seat should belong to their Zhuge family.
"Then the lower official said, the Holy Dynasty rules the world, based on officials, and among them, the Shoufu Pavilion is respected, so the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion are all existences that can determine the fate of the Holy Dynasty, and they are the pinnacle of officials, so should the selection of officials of the Shoufu Pavilion be cautious?" Zhuge Yanshan asked.
The big Situ on the stage nodded: "That's nature, Zhuge Yanshan, what do you want to say, don't beat around the bush, the time for the court meeting is limited, and there are still many important things to discuss." ”
Since Zhuge Yanshan dared to come out, he naturally prepared his words a long time ago. So even if Da Situ expressed his dissatisfaction and sneered, he was indifferent, in his opinion, this risk was worth taking. Because once they succeed, their Zhuge family may turn over, as long as they can let Zhuge Hong enter the Shoufu Pavilion, even if they don't do it, it will be worth it.
The Shoufu Pavilion is too important.
"Xia Guan heard that Lord Chu Xian, the left attendant of the household department, he fell into the spell of the puppet emperor Li Qianlong, and there is not much left of Shou Yuan, and it can even be said that his life is short, although this situation is regrettable, it is also a loss for the Holy Dynasty, but it also shows that Lord Chu Xian is no longer suitable for a high position, and he should abdicate early to make way for Xian, after all, in this case, Lord Chu Xian should not have any mind to put it on official business. ”
Zhuge Yanshan said directly, but it was straightforward, that is, since Chu Xian's life was short, he should give up his seat as soon as possible and give it to a more suitable person.
Who is a better fit?
During this time, the Zhuge family jumped up and down, and its thoughts and purposes were already known to passers-by.
Zhuge Yanshan was already out of the way at this time, and he did this because he got the exact news, Chu Xianzhong's witch spell, that was a fact, and that witch spell was already unsolvable.
Chu Xian's situation, obviously Master Xiao Yu had already informed Da Situ and the others, so they all knew that Chu Xian was fine now, but it was a pity that Zhuge Yanshan didn't know anything about this crucial news.
It's ridiculous.
However, since Zhuge Yanshan raised questions on such an occasion as the court meeting, he still had to be treated seriously, so Da Situ looked at Chu Xian and said, "Chu Shilang, you can tell this matter yourself." ”
Indeed, Chu Xian himself is the most suitable.
Chu Xian got up from the immortal seat at this time, but he was still standing on the high platform, overlooking the officials. Because of the gaze, no one below dared to look at him, Chu Xian's current appearance is even more majestic, if he doesn't know the details, he thinks that this is an old immortal official who is more than three or four hundred years old.
"Last time, before the puppet emperor Li Qianlong died, he did cast a spell on me, but the Holy Dynasty Immortal Law is unique in the world, how can it not suppress the witchcraft of the Wu clan? ”
In a few simple words, Chu Xian expressed his meaning, these few words, said very imposingly, in an ingenious way, if anyone doubts it again, doesn't he think that the Holy Dynasty's own immortal method is not as good as witch spells?
This time, Chu Xian has dug a pit, it depends on whether you dare to jump down, whether you dare to continue to question, of course, Chu Xian is happy to see it.
Zhuge Yanshan jumped out of the super meeting to make a public attack, which was also expected by Chu Xian. Because Chu Xian knew that Zhuge Hong would not tell Zhuge Yanshan about the results of his conversation with him yesterday.
As for why, Chu Xian knew.
Zhuge Hong is an illegitimate child, and in the first 30 years of his life, he lived a very hard life, it is said that Zhuge Hong's biological mother, when he was 25 years old, was seriously ill and died after a year.
This is definitely the biggest blow to Zhuge Hong.
Who caused the miserable life in the first half of his life? Zhuge Hong knew better than anyone else that if it weren't for Zhuge Yanshan, the old prodigal son, who wandered around the flowers and caused this evil, his mother would not have died prematurely because he was provided with education and cultivation.
Zhuge Hong is definitely a filial son, and he is also a figure who can calculate and understand accounts, so if you want to say that he has nothing to do with the Zhuge family, he is afraid that he only hates.
Let's ask, if he can take revenge on Zhuge Yanshan, but he doesn't have to take action himself, it is naturally what Zhuge Hong wants to see the most.
Zhuge Hong himself definitely can't retaliate.
No matter how much you think about it in your heart, this kind of thing that is 'disloyal and unfilial' or even 'rebellious' in the eyes of outsiders cannot be done, especially if he is an official of the Holy Dynasty, he must pay attention to this aspect.
So strictly speaking, Zhuge Hong has been 'forbearing' all these years.
When he visited Chu Xian last night, he was obviously already dead and would no longer unrealistically want to enter the Shoufu Pavilion, but he didn't tell Zhuge Yanshan about these things at all after he went back.
Therefore, Zhuge Yanshan would be 'stupid' to make such an ironclad move at the court meeting, which would definitely be slapped in the face.
After Chu Xian made his statement, if Zhuge Yanshan stopped here, it would only be a loss of face, and there would be no substantial loss, but obviously, Zhuge Hong knew quite well about his cheap father's character.
Conceited, arrogant, paranoid, even to the point of stupidity.
Sure enough, after Chu Xian finished speaking, Zhuge Yanshan actually sneered and said: "Lord Chu, why do you have to hold on to this official position, the witch clan's life-devouring witch spell is extremely powerful, ordinary people may not know, but coincidentally, I have really done research on this witch spell, and those who fall into this witch spell will definitely die, so Lord Chu, you still ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cui Huanzhi over there had already snorted coldly and reprimanded angrily: "Ridiculous, Chu Shilang has already said very clearly just now, the witchcraft is not as mysterious as the immortal law, and the witch spell has been sealed by him, there is no big problem, Zhuge Yanshan, you have come to talk nonsense several times, what kind of heart are you pressing? Also, your words are very similar to the rumors and rumors that are now spread outside, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is your Zhuge family that is fanning the flames." ”
