Chapter 60: Canonizing Marquis Wen
It is impossible for the Zhao family to know that I have Taoist foundation.
Gu Wen was so sure.
Because he can stand here at this moment without being discovered by the Zhao family, which already shows the problem.
If you put yourself in their shoes, the Zhao family won't care what an ordinary person is doing on a daily basis, as long as he is active under their noses. In their eyes, Gu Wen is just a domestic slave who can be crushed to death with a flip of his hands.
But now, Gu Wen has grown into a tiger descending from the mountain. The peak of the second-level Taoist foundation is about to cast the third-level perfect Taoist foundation, military skills, and a complete system of body protection, body skills, healing, etc.
Tenth on the people list and fifth on the local list.
If any one of the above is known to the Zhao family, it is estimated that the other party will be eager to send over 100,000 forbidden troops. Instead of just sending a few forbidden troops to monitor, these forbidden troops can still be bribed.
But when it came to making offerings, Gu Wen suddenly thought of something, what happened when he met Yu Hua for the first time.
'Yu Hua gave me a life-protecting elixir, saying that if I didn't take it, I might not live past my thirties, and I had been in poor health before...'
Gu Wen recalled that he often felt palpitated and tired in the past, and couldn't help but feel the chill in his eyes getting deeper.
It's not enough to steal someone's immortality, they didn't even intend to spare my life in the first place.
He originally thought that his murderous intention towards the Zhao family had reached its extreme, and that he knew enough about the beasts of the Zhao family, but he did not expect that the other party would always be able to constantly refresh his lower limit.
No matter how beastly a person is, he can't be like the Zhao family, right?
Gu Wen hid his emotions so well that the two sect geniuses around him didn't even notice.
I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to understand Gu Wen's feelings. A person who struggled to get up from the mire, the closer to the storm, the calmer the sea. It comes from the calmness of the heart, and it is difficult to detect any abnormalities when reading the mind.
Murong Suyue said doubtfully: "Emperor Daojun is famous for his alchemy. He once ranked first in the earth rankings with his alchemy. He should be able to refine the elixir to make up for the Dao foundation. Why take the risk to find a genius with Dao foundation? Really
Do you think they don’t have a true king?”
She didn't believe that anyone could enter the Immortal Land without having some background.
"My sect has always sold information, and has recorded all kinds of things very clearly. Recently, a message has been sent from within the sect... Come closer."
He Huan looked left and right, and then closed the distance between the two. Murong Suyue simply hugged her knees and sat down because she was too strong.
The night wind blew, and his voice was very low.
"The original Taoist protector of the Yuqing sect of the Sanqing Taoist Sect was not named Zhao. The Zhao family snatched him from him."
Murong Suyue's eyes widened and she said: "How can you be so vague about protecting the road? You can just change it if you want. Someone else will rob it."
He Huan replied: "We have no way of knowing the specific process, but it is not difficult to guess that it is nothing more than wiping out the original Taoist family, and then leaving an only son to intimidate and lure. The Zhao family seized the opportunity to protect the Tao and turned around to follow the Taoist family.
Let’s negotiate with each other, won’t it be fine once the negotiations are settled?”
"Isn't Emperor Daojun afraid that the Sanqing Dao Sect will overturn the table?"
Murong Suyue didn't believe it even more.
He Huan said with a smile: "Can't Emperor Daojun pay a big price to bribe the current headmaster of the Three Purities, Tianzun? Moreover, the Zhao family is really powerful in Chengxian Land. Even if it is dismantled by the major sects, no one can compete alone."
"What do you think, Brother Hongchen?"
"I?"
Gu Wen chuckled and said: "I stood and watched, watching him build the Zhulou and watching him entertain guests."
Then, instead of seeing his building collapse, the inner storehouse was burned to ashes and the public's bones were trampled all over.
He turned his head and glanced at Longqiao, wondering if a fire could burn it completely.
After chatting for a while, the three of them said goodbye to each other.
During this period, Gu Wen learned something else. He had given the medicinal materials to He Huan before, and the other party promised to help him find an alchemist to refine the elixir. But when he asked about it, He Huan handed over the matter to Murong Suyue.
Ask the other party to go to Longqiao to find Lu Chan.
The first step was to steal other people's things, and the second step was to ask someone to find Lu Chan to make alchemy, because she was currently the best alchemist besides Emperor Daojun.
You won't be able to reach the top ten on the earth rankings just by relying on illusions. Many people are like Lu Chan.
------------------
Early the next morning, a holy envoy came to Gu's house, holding an imperial edict in his hand.
"Blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed!"
"The state is benevolent and the first priority is to nourish the people. Gu Wen, a merchant from the capital city of Erbian, is a man of great virtue and kindness. He is able to donate gold and grain, provide relief to the famine, help the emperor's kindness beyond his own reach, and feed the hungry people when they are dispersed. The Governor's Department
After hearing about the Taoist report, I will actually praise it..."
The position of Marquis, which was originally going to take a year, was suddenly given to Gu Wen in advance.
The issue of the title of marquis is understandable. After all, Gu Wen has no merit. During this period, the ministers in the court were racking their brains to think of merit for Gu Wen. As well as the issue of fiefdom and food, today's Daqian has no land to seal.
We can only ask the local aristocratic families to give in. This is another matter worth wrangling for a long time.
It is understandable that it came so quickly. As long as the emperor personally supervises and urges, everything can be completed quickly. Even if it will cause huge damage to the social system, it can be completed under the promotion of imperial power.
Gu Wen accepted the order, and then everyone in the mansion celebrated with joy. A new plaque was hung high, and the mansion was upgraded to a marquis mansion.
The number of personal guards has also increased to thirty, and almost every place in the mansion is patrolled. These thirty people may not seem like many, but they can be divided into ten shifts to monitor one person.
You must know that the prince's personal bodyguards only have this number. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a sign of the emperor's great favor. How can an ordinary marquis have any imperial guards?
But Gu Wen had no reason to keep a low profile and let the servants in the palace decorate the house with lanterns and decorations, hold a banquet and entertain guests.
For a time, Gu Wen's name spread throughout Bianjing City. For a merchant with a low social status to become a marquis, it would be enough to cause a sensation no matter what time it was placed.
Then countless aristocratic families came after hearing the news and broke through the threshold. There was a rush of traffic in front of Gu Wen's door, and the carriages were lined up for three miles.
The gifts were also piled up, and Gu Wen even found some elixirs among them.
Gu Wen greeted the guests with a smile, when suddenly an old man dressed as a scholar rushed toward him, and was then pinned to the ground by Qin Mian who was standing beside him without any surprise.
I saw this old scholar roaring hysterically: "Where is the law of heaven, where is the king's law? I, the scholar, have been studying hard for ten years in a cold window, and there are countless people who are frustrated and frustrated. You are a merchant, a villain who is only interested in profit, how can you be a prince with so much virtue?"
The atmosphere was quiet. To outsiders, this was undoubtedly a prank, meant to poke people's pain.
Today, Daqian does not judge people by merit, but only by grace.
He knew that explanations were useless. In the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats, he was regarded as a treacherous official, and in the eyes of the common people, he was a heinous person. This was enough to show how unpopular the Zhao family was, and it was also a scolding from the "ethical" god above his head.
Being a merchant is evil in itself, and standing on a high place as a domestic slave will only attract abuse, so Gu Wen didn't like to be famous before.
Just because he was not born noble, he had to be humble all his life. Even though he adhered to his true intention and never did evil, he often helped the people with work.
Gu Wen said calmly: "Break his legs and throw him out."
But what kind of virtue does this old scholar have that he can criticize himself?
The old scholar cried and howled outside the door, attracting a group of Confucian scholars to share the same hatred. The common people pointed in the distance, and the nobles sang and danced in peace within the high wall.
The banquet continued into the evening with the sound of drinking glasses.
Gu Wen returned to the house after drinking too much. The candlelight reflected the reflection of the newly arrived guard at the door.
'Pride is the source of self-destruction.'
Gu Wen blew out the candles, meditated and fell into concentration, his destiny shaking slightly.
【Nineteen Years of Heavenly Essence】
A Year of Refining the Heavenly Essence The third level of the Falling Moon Steps, Ling Yue, the walker is like a feather, leaping three feet.
One foot is three meters and three, and three feet is nine meters and nine.
He could fly out of the city wall with just two kicks, and a mere thirty guards in front of the palace could not trap him.
Gu Wen murmured to himself: "I wonder when he will leave the palace?"
