Chapter 178 Teaching the Master
The arrival of the imperial masters from neighboring countries was very sudden for Dongzhao Kingdom. It obviously took one and a half months to get from the two neighboring countries to the imperial capital of Dongzhao Kingdom, but the news was only sent to them the day before they arrived at the imperial capital. Gongxiu Rong and the others could only make preparations in a hurry.
Fortunately, the Department of Etiquette has already mastered the reception. As long as they arrange the people comfortably, follow the etiquette, and prepare some entertainment programs, it is enough. But it was the Imperial Master who came.
The status of the national preceptor is very special. He is higher than the civil and military officials and lower than the emperor, but he is on an equal footing with the emperor. Their cultivation is so advanced that one unhappy person can destroy a city. Therefore, it is best for those who receive them to have national teachers who can compete with them, so that they do not dare to underestimate their own country.
But the people in the Ministry of Rites heard that their country's imperial master was seriously ill and lying in bed, unable to come out to greet guests. What should they do?
"The emperor said that he would send someone else to replace the imperial advisor to receive the two imperial advisors from neighboring countries. I wonder who the emperor will send here?"
"Hey, no matter who you send, as long as the other party is not a national master, it will be the same for everyone else."
"The right minister is right. If the two national masters suddenly start a fight, no one will dare to step forward to stop it."
"Speaking of which, isn't it too sudden that the two national advisors from neighboring countries arrived? They were planning to arrive at the imperial capital before notifying us. It was as if the emperor had made a surprise visit to check whether we had completed the task. It was frightening. .”
"Do you think the two national masters from neighboring countries came here deliberately to cause trouble after receiving news that our national master was unwell?"
"The Imperial Master's discomfort is only a matter of one or two days. Even if they receive the news, they won't be able to rush to our imperial capital in such a short time, right?"
"Tsk, have you forgotten who they are? They are the national masters, the national masters who can call the wind and rain. It is not a problem for them to travel thousands of miles a day."
The officials standing outside the imperial city gate waiting to welcome the imperial master were silent.
After a while, someone said: "Prime Minister Wu and the Minister of War are here. Are they the ones sent by the emperor to greet the two national advisors from neighboring countries?"
Everyone looked inside the city gate and saw several carriages driving towards them.
The reason why we know who is coming is because the carriage is hung with a white lantern and an identification plate with the name on it.
The Master of the Ministry of Rites led people over to greet Prime Minister Wu and the others: "I have met the Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Wu got out of the car and asked, "Have the two national advisors from neighboring countries not arrived yet?"
"No."
Prime Minister Wu was relieved.
The Ministry of Rites whispered in his ear: "Prime Minister, the emperor said that he would send someone else to replace the imperial advisor to receive the imperial advisor from neighboring countries, but there is no one yet."
Prime Minister Wu said: "She is here."
"Coming?" The Ministry of Rites looked at him: "It's not you, is it?"
"Of course not." Prime Minister Wu said angrily: "Even if I am a high-ranking official, I can't replace the national master to receive the national masters of other countries."
"Then she you are talking about is..."
Prime Minister Wu looked at the last carriage in the carriage queue.
The carriage was very ornate, with a frame made of gold and twice as wide as an ordinary carriage.
The most exaggerated thing is the horse pulling the carriage, which is so shiny that it almost blinds others.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful girl wearing a white fairy robe got out of the carriage, and many people were stunned for a moment. Her clothes were light and fluttering, and she wore a white jade lotus crown the size of a fist on her high ponytail. Her cold face was even more celestial than the imperial master's, and everyone seemed to see a fairy descending to earth.
The Minister of Rites smacked his tongue: "Where did this Taoist nun come from?"
There is absolutely no problem in using her to fool the national teachers of neighboring countries.
The only prerequisite is that the national master should not use magic power to fight, otherwise he will be betrayed immediately.
Prime Minister Wu coughed lightly: "Don't you think she looks familiar?"
The Minister of Rites stared at Mu Nanjin's face again and again: "It looks familiar, a bit like...a bit like..."
His eyes widened suddenly: "Why does she look so similar to the emperor's noble lady Mu?"
He had the honor to meet Mr. Mu in the Imperial Study Room.
She was sitting quietly
Prime Minister Wu chuckled.
"It can't be her, right?"
"What do you think?"
The Minister of Rites was ashamed: "How dare the emperor ask her to receive the national advisor from a neighboring country? She doesn't know how to be afraid. This could kill someone if she is not careful."
Instead, Wu Cheng asked him: "The Queen Mother dares to provoke her, do you think she will still be afraid of other countries' national advisors?"
"That's different. She is protected by the emperor. It's normal that the queen mother will be unable to do anything to her for a while. Other imperial advisors will not give our emperor face. If they want her to die, they can do it silently and there is no way to investigate at all. Get to them.”
"The emperor has his own reasons for wanting her to come from home."
The emperor has arranged everything, and it is useless for the Minister of Rites to worry about it.
At this time, Mu Nanjin came over.
Prime Minister Wu introduced to everyone: "Let me introduce to you that she is the apprentice of the national master. Everyone calls her 'Jiao Zuoren Zhenren'."
Recognizing Mu Nan, Jin's civil and military officials, the corner of his mouth twitched.
People who had never seen Mu Nanjin believed it.
"I've seen a real person."
When Mu Nanjin walked away, an official who did not know Mu Nanjin whispered: "Does the Imperial Master have apprentices? Why have I never heard of it?"
"I haven't heard that he has an apprentice. Could it be that he was an apprentice before, but he just didn't come to Dongzhao Kingdom?"
"Well, it's possible."
"Can the disciples of a national master stop the national masters of other countries?"
"Most apprentices are not as capable as their masters. I'm surprised."
"well--"
[The two of them looked downcast, really like filial sons at a funeral. 】
[If everyone wears sackcloth and pays homage, and scatters a bunch of paper money, the scene will be even more similar. 】
"Ahem——"
When the civil servants heard this, they immediately choked on his saliva.
Do they look like they are mourning?
Someone asked in a low voice: "Who is talking?"
"It seems to be the voice of Mr. Mu."
"She's here too? Then is it her voice or the voice of her heart that we hear?"
It turned out that after so many days, even the officials who were not the emperor knew that Mu Nanjin would reveal her true feelings, and also knew that she knew many secrets that no one knew.
"I think Takazu Ren's appearance is a bit like that of Noble Mu."
"No way?"
"One time when I entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, I accidentally glanced at her and felt that they were quite similar."
"Do you think the name of Master Takashi Zuo Ren is very difficult to pronounce?"
"Indeed."
"The main thing is that there is the word benevolence in the front, and there is a person in the back, which makes it sound weird."
While the officials were whispering, Mu Nanjin and Prime Minister Wu had already arrived in front of the team.
Prime Minister Wu lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Teaching Master Zuo Ren, are you sure you can handle them? If not, is it still too late to regret now?"
"Sure, it's too late."
After Mu Nanjin simply said these words, the officials felt a powerful force pressing on them. (End of chapter)
