Chapter 207 Entering the Great Shang Dynasty, One Can Aspire to the Position of Imperial Advisor
Earlier, Emperor Yi was taking a short rest in the palace.
Suddenly, a subordinate came to report that a distinguished guest had arrived at the Grand Tutor's residence.
When Emperor Yi learned of this, he was naturally surprised.
It should be noted that Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was the pillar of the Shang Dynasty.
As early as the reign of King Wen Ding, the father of Emperor Yi, he followed his teacher's orders and went down the mountain to assist the emperor of the Shang Dynasty.
To preserve the foundation of the Shang Dynasty, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to campaigns in the east and west.
He guarded the land and rivers of Chaoge, and stabilized the fate of the Yin Shang dynasty.
To be a distinguished guest at Wen Zhong's residence, the visitor must be of extraordinary status, undoubtedly an immortal, and not just any ordinary immortal.
In addition, after Emperor Yi ascended the throne, the Shang Dynasty gradually declined. As the ruler of a country, Emperor Yi naturally wanted to recruit more virtuous and capable people.
That's why he hurriedly changed into his court robes and went to the Grand Tutor's mansion in person, hoping to make some connections.
Inside the hall at this moment.
Chen Changsheng had already guessed who the person was.
"Junior Brother Changsheng, please rise with me to greet him!"
"After all, the person who came was the King of the Great Shang Dynasty."
Wen Zhong smiled and looked at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, and then he and Wen Zhong got up and went out to greet them in the living room.
Upon closer inspection, a middle-aged man was standing in the courtyard.
Although the man's body did not exhibit any fluctuations of physical power, it was surrounded by an aura of imperial power. The sheer volume of this aura caused the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to spontaneously give way and submit.
"The aura of a human emperor!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng's heart stirred, and he recognized the unique and noble aura emanating from the man.
Only the human race's supreme ruler, who bears the rightful destiny of humanity and carries the fortune of billions of people, can possess such a grand presence!
At the same time, we should also be aware of it.
The person before me should be Emperor Yi, the current ruler of the Shang Dynasty.
At this moment, when Di Yi saw Chen Changsheng and Wen Zhong walk out, his face immediately showed joy, and he quickly stepped forward.
As he approached, he first gave Wen Zhong a smile, then turned his gaze to Chen Changsheng.
Upon closer inspection, Di Yi felt that Chen Changsheng exuded an aura of transcendence.
Then, he quickly asked Wen Zhong:
"Grand Tutor."
"May I ask who this immortal is?"
Upon hearing Di Yi's question, Wen Zhong did not conceal anything and answered directly:
"Reporting back to the King."
"This is Chen Changsheng, the eldest disciple personally taught by my Uncle Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect. He is also my junior brother."
At this point, Wen Zhong paused briefly, then added:
"Your Majesty."
"My junior brother is a genius."
"His cultivation and spiritual attainment far surpass those of the old minister."
"In my opinion, my junior brother will surely become a top figure in our Jie Sect, and even a top power in the primordial world!"
Wen Zhong wasn't flattering Chen Changsheng with these words.
After listening to the Dao at Biyou Palace, Wen Zhong returned to Da Shang. On the way, he encountered the female immortal Xuan'e being surrounded by outer disciples of the Jie Sect.
He had personally witnessed Chen Changsheng's formidable strength in that battle.
At a young age, his cultivation had already reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Among the three generations of disciples of the Jie Sect, they are definitely among the top.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Di Yi's eyes.
He was well aware of Wen Zhong's abilities. If Wen Zhong praised him so highly and even admitted that he was inferior to him, then how strong must Chen Changsheng be?
In addition, Emperor Yi also discerned another layer of meaning in Wen Zhong's words.
Wen Zhong wanted him to recruit Chen Changsheng.
In an instant, Emperor Yi's mind raced.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He then bowed respectfully to Chen Changsheng and said earnestly:
"So it's the Immortal Master of Longevity!"
"The arrival of the celestial master in my Chaoge is an honor for our great Shang Dynasty!"
"I have a request, Your Majesty. I wonder if you would be willing to enter the mortal world and protect my human race's kingdom?"
"If the Immortal Master does not despise me, I, the King, am willing to be treated as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Shang Dynasty, sharing in the fortune of our Great Shang and jointly protecting the peace of humanity!"
After saying this, Di Yi looked straight at Chen Changsheng, his eyes full of pleading.
Even if Wen Zhong hadn't specifically reminded him, Di Yi was already planning to recruit Chen Changsheng.
Upon hearing what Emperor Yi said, Wen Zhong was secretly moved.
It should be understood that the position of Imperial Preceptor is highly respected, second only to the Lord of the Merchants and on par with the Grand Tutor, but even more so!
Only those with great magical power, great merit, and great fortune can take on this role.
Once you agree, it means you are closely connected with the fate of the entire Shang Dynasty.
To Wen Zhong's surprise,
Emperor Yi was bold enough to offer the position of Imperial Preceptor to Chen Changsheng.
"Um?"
"The Imperial Advisor?"
Chen Changsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this, not expecting Di Yi to be so direct.
He promised such an important position so soon after meeting us.
Although he had already been planning the Great Tribulation of Gods and taking advantage of many opportunities to plan for the future, he did not expect it to come so quickly.
After all, if he agreed to become the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty, he would have to be completely involved in the game.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng did not rush to give an answer, Di Yi was also uneasy.
I wondered if I had been too abrupt?
After all, this was the first time he had met Chen Changsheng, and they hadn't even exchanged a few words before he offered Chen Changsheng the position of Imperial Advisor and tried to recruit him into the Great Shang Dynasty.
After a moment's thought, Emperor Yi quickly glanced at Wen Zhong and gave him a meaningful look.
Upon receiving Di Yi's gaze, Wen Zhong understood its meaning and looked at Chen Changsheng, smiling as he advised:
"Junior brother, we are both of human origin and share the same bloodline."
"Although the Shang Dynasty has some hidden dangers, it is still the legitimate successor of our human race and is favored by destiny."
"If you are willing to enter the court and serve as the national advisor, with your abilities, you will surely be able to deter the villains and stabilize the foundation of the country."
"This is a fortunate event for our human race and for the Great Shang Dynasty!"
"I hope you will think this through carefully, junior brother."
Upon hearing what Wen Zhong said, Chen Changsheng snapped out of his thoughts, first glancing at the expectant Wen Zhong, and then fixing his gaze on Di Yi.
Under Chen Changsheng's gaze, Di Yi's heart began to beat faster.
The next moment, a resolute look flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
Since he is destined to be drawn into the vortex of the Investiture of the Gods, rather than passively accepting the calamity, he might as well take the initiative and seize the initiative!
For him, the position of Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty was an excellent fulcrum!
After thinking it over, Chen Changsheng no longer hesitated and immediately bowed to Di Yi:
"Your Majesty's favor is great, and Senior Brother Wen's recommendation is also very kind. If Changsheng were to refuse again, it would be rather ungrateful."
"Since Your Majesty trusts and values the people and the common people,..."
"I, Chen, accept the position of Imperial Advisor!"
Upon seeing Chen Changsheng agree, Di Yi and Wen Zhong's faces immediately lit up with joy.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Emperor Yi was overjoyed; just now, he had been very afraid that Chen Changsheng would refuse.
After all, the addition of a powerful figure like Chen Changsheng to the Shang Dynasty would surely ensure the stability of the Shang Dynasty's fortunes.
The fear is that Chen Changsheng will find his approach too abrupt and refuse.
"Ha ha!"
At the same time, Wen Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart.
Having been rescued by Chen Changsheng in the East China Sea, he conceived the idea of bringing Chen Changsheng into the Shang Dynasty court.
Now that my wish has come true, I am naturally happy.
