Chapter 453: Get promoted and get rich
Many upper-class people are eager to raise a person who is similar to themselves as a disaster-proof substitute, but it is difficult to find a similar person.
Nowadays, the fifth prince has ready-made people in front of him, but he just doesn’t use it. He insists on counting the death of the other party. This is really...
The aides shook their heads silently in their hearts, saying that if the Fifth Prince's mind and heart really became the emperor of their Great Chu, it would be a disaster for Great Chu.
No matter what, Chu Mingxiao still tried his best to embarrass Qi Kill according to his own plan.
However, a few days later, Seven Kills safely arrived in Dazhou territory.
Chu Mingxiao was furious, but still planned to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
The staff couldn't see it, and quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, our trip is to form an alliance with the Turks to attack the Zhou Kingdom. Not only is it difficult for us Dachu to explain, but it also gave Zhou Guo an excuse."
Chu Mingxiao was self-willed, and he didn't want to listen to persuasion at all, but before his trip this time, his father urged him to take care of the affairs of the Turkic mission.
If now he really screwed up this important matter just to kill that bumpkin, then it must be hard to explain to the father.
Chu Mingxiao could only press down on the idea of continuing to pay for murder for the time being, but he really couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, and asked viciously: "How are you doing these days? Didn't I ask you to investigate the origin of the seven kills?" ?!"
The aides couldn't help but looked at each other, secretly thinking that the fifth prince was too capricious. It is not appropriate for them to make public when they are abroad, but the fifth prince is arrogant everywhere.
To be honest, which country has not placed a few spies in other countries?
But a spy has the function of a spy. You just want to launch a spy to investigate an insignificant person. This is not only a fuss, but also a waste of the value of the spy, and the risk of exposing the spy.
But the prince is the prince, where is the honor status, and what they do can't be discussed by the people below them?
The staff couldn't help but sigh when they thought of this.
But all the people who can be sent out are naturally human beings, and they still show extra respect on the surface.
One of the staff stood up, cupped his hands and respectfully replied: "The matter has been investigated. The seven kills are the personal bodyguards of Pei Yi, the county magistrate of Wanshou County, Zhou State. They are said to be bodyguards, but they are actually the head of the face..."
When Chu Mingxiao heard this, he immediately showed disgust on his face. He was very disgusted in his heart, but there was also a subtle joy.
To be honest, he can't understand Zhou Guo's prevailing masculinity at all, and they don't have such crooked tendencies in Dachu.
It is really a happy thing that his country bumpkin elder brother has been infected with such bad habits, and he will surely annoy the queen mother.
Moreover, the bumpkin brother is actually just the face of a county magistrate.
A mere county magistrate——Chu Mingxiao's calculations were pounding in his heart, and he secretly thought that it would be fine even if he sent someone to kill the face of a county magistrate. Is it possible that a small county magistrate dares to make a big fuss?
"The magistrate of Wanshou County, surnamed Pei and named Yi, is the third son of Prime Minister Pei Shu." The staff continued.
Chu Mingxiao didn't expect it, and he was surprised and inexplicable: "The master of the Seven Kills is actually the son of God Peisha?!"
The prestige of Pei Shu, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has spread far and wide in the mainland countries.
Da Zhou called him the God of War, but other countries called Pei Shu the God of Evil. One can imagine how deeply he feared him.
"That's right." The staff member nodded calmly, thinking that the fifth prince, who can't bear the burden, is scared now, right? Really useless.
"Haha, good!" Chu Mingxiao was stunned for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands in applause.
A group of staff members were baffled, secretly thinking that this little ancestor should not do something irreversible and stupid in a whimsical way.
"You say that Qisha is the face of Pei Shashen's son, that is to say, Qisha is the Pei family, and he represents the face of the Pei family. This Turkic prince always defends Qisha, but what he actually defends is not Seven kills, but the master behind the seven kills. In other words—"
Chu Mingxiao chuckled, and continued to add the following words: "The Pei family is collaborating with the enemy and treason! Pei Sanlang is contacting the Turks for his father, Pei Shashen!"
All the staff were dumbfounded, and then they were overjoyed.
What a great idea!
Although these five princes usually think they are smart, and their heads are not very bright, but this matter is really well done.
An aide couldn't hide his excitement and said: "The fifth prince's words are very kind! The emperor of Zhou State was a suspicious and conceited person. Don't say that Pei Shashen colluded with the enemy and treason, even if Pei Shashen usually does nothing, the emperor of Zhou State would I suspect that Pei Shashen is cooperating with the enemy and against him everywhere. We only need to release a little news this time that Pei Jiasanlang is secretly colluding with the Turks, and the emperor of Zhou Kingdom will definitely have a big fuss!"
Another staff member couldn't help but said happily: "It must have exploded violently, and the Pei family will not be able to keep it."
Everyone was in a good mood, and they talked in a hurry.
Another staff member said: "If Pei Shashen wants to keep the Pei family, he must really turn against him - then, he will be known as collaborating with the enemy and treason, even if he kills the king and proclaims himself emperor later, his reputation will not Good. Of course, it would be even better if he failed in the rebellion.”
Isn’t that right?
If Pei Shu died, what other generals would Da Zhou have to make the nations fear?
Everyone is in a great mood.
Chu Mingxiao was in a good mood thinking that not only could he kill the seven kills, but he could also do a great deed for the state of Chu along the way. He said happily: If this achievement is successful, then he has made a great contribution, and the emperor must love him even more, and he will definitely do his part as the crown prince.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Kyoto.
Xiao Pei Mansion.
Pei Yi has now been promoted from a small county magistrate of the seventh rank to a speech officer of the fifth rank because of her meritorious service.
This is a five-level promotion in a row, and Pei Yi is in the limelight for a while, making many people jealous.
She herself is naturally trembling, walking on thin ice.
Moreover, it is good to say yes, and it is not good to say bad.
In a country like Da Zhou, where the third rank is the top, the fifth rank is already considered a high official.
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all officials of the fifth rank or above (including from the fifth rank) must go to court and enter the palace every day.
As a result, Pei Yi could only live a life of getting up at five o'clock every morning, yawning and going to the morning court.
Moreover, every day in the palace, she would meet a group of ministers rushing to have breakfast outside the palace.
How do you feel?
It’s like dreaming back to the middle school days—a group of classmates secretly having breakfast outside the classroom in the morning.
How sad?
