Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 126
Become a Fallen State Ruler (1)
***
The envoy from the Great Jin Royal Court?
Cui Heng was stunned.
Ever since he left the Starter Room, even though he had used the political environment to gather the seven emotions of life, he had never interacted with the royal family.
After all, since a hundred years ago, the wealth of the Great Jin continued to decline day by day. Even now, the decision of the Imperial Court government could not even leave the Central Continent. The letter of appointment of the local governor is only a sign of good faith.
This Imperial Court could be said to exist only in name.
Even if Great Jin had stolen the fruits of Hong Fugui's war 261 years ago, Cui Heng would not bother to destroy them.
It was because even if he left them alone, Great Jin might not be able to last for another ten years.
The Jianyan Emperor, Wei Yi, was already 49 years old, but he did not even have a son.
The loyal generals were even all killed by him.
The Wang family of Langya, who had always supported the Great Jin, could barely take care of themselves.
It could be said that as long as Emperor Jianyan died, the Great Jin Royal Court would definitely collapse.
There is almost no possibility of concentrating power anymore.
The various Governors would also make other Emperors appear quickly.
Even if it is just a name.
However, Emperor Jianyan was still alive and he was still the Emperor.
As such, his envoys were treated kindly in the capitals of any state.
To maintain the impression of compliance, the local Governor will also build a good relationship with the envoy and even show a humble attitude.
It was not because they were afraid of the Emperor.
They were especially worried that if they did not appear humble in front of the envoy, they would be subdued by the neighboring countries
Neighboring countries can use this as an excuse to form alliances to invade and claim the region.
On the surface, it was to protect the authority of the Emperor, but in reality, it was to seize territory and divide the land and the population.
Of course, respect and humility on the surface only exist on the surface. As for the Emperor's orders brought by the envoys, they were usually ignored by the State Supervisors or they pretended to obey just for show.
Therefore, Emperors usually did not send envoys to the state capitals.
After all, it would be a shame if his decision was ignored.
But now, an envoy from the Imperial Court suddenly came to Fengzhou. That's very strange.
"What's the rank?" Cui Heng asked.
The envoys sent by the Imperial Court were mostly eunuchs of the Imperial Court. They could determine the importance of this matter through the ranks of the officials.
“This is Officer Wang Chun,” Liu Litao said solemnly.
According to the official system of Jin Agung, the Lepas Cavalry Regular Officer is the main office of the Lepas Cavalry. They were assigned to serve the Emperor alone. They are also responsible for advising him.
The authority they hold is very heavy.
“The officer did not say why he came.” Liu Litao shook his head. “He insists on meeting you."
"Then let him in." Cui Heng slightly nodded, curious about the purpose of the Great Jin Royal Court.
"Yes, Mr. Supervisor!" Liu Litao bowed and left.
Accompanied by Liu Litao, the envoy from the Great Jin Imperial Court brought along a servant and entered the reception room of the State Supervisory Office.
This envoy seems to be in his forties. Her face was bright and not bearded, and her temperament was feminine. He's obviously a eunuch.
The follower beside him looked to be in his fifties. He has an ordinary appearance. His eyebrows were lowered, and he looked humble.
"Wang Chun greets Mr. Supervisor." This eunuch was not arrogant at all. He had great respect for Cui Heng and even bowed obediently.
"Please sit down." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled. “What brings you to Fengzhou?”
At the same time, he glanced at officer Wang Chun.
These followers were definitely not ordinary people. Although his demeanor was respectful and humble on the surface, there was still a noble aura on his bones. It was obvious that he was someone of high status.
“This concerns an important issue of country.” Wang Chun stopped talking after saying this. He first glanced at Liu Litao beside him, then looked at Cui Heng, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Mr Liu is my deputy and will be the Deputy Governor in a few days. Officer Wang, feel free to express your thoughts. ” Cui Heng shook his head gently.
He certainly could not dismiss his deputy because of a eunuch.
Since Wu Yin was still in the position of Vice Governor, Liu Litao was temporarily an ordinary official. His position was second only to the Vice Governor. When Wu Yin resigned in the future, he would be able to become the Vice Governor of Fengzhou.
Liu Litao was deeply moved upon hearing this. His desire to follow Cui Heng to death grew stronger.
"Then ..." Wang Chun fell silent when he heard this. In the end, he made a decision. He stood up and said to the follower beside him, "Minister Chu, I will leave this matter to you to say."
"Minister Chu ?!" Liu Litao looked at the officer in shock.
"So it's the current Prime Minister." Cui Heng was still sitting there, judging the old man who was dressed like this follower. He's a little surprised.
Although he did not care much about the Great Jin Imperial Court, he knew that the current Prime Minister was named Chu Yuanliang, and he was no ordinary Prime Minister.
Prime Minister, Minister of Records, Commander of Military Affairs, Governor of Zhongzhou…
This was Chu Yuanliang's current official title.
In terms of power, he could preside over all of the military affairs of the Great Jin and execute any official under the rank of State Supervisor.
To put it simply, he was almost on par with the Emperor.
Normally, it would be impossible to place so many official positions on one person.
However, under the rule of Emperor Jianyan, such a powerful Prime Minister actually appeared.
This made Cui Heng very curious as to why the current Prime Minister had personally come to Fengzhou.
