I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Five years later, Chen Luo was recommended by the Lu family and entered the court as an official.

The imperial court was corrupt, and as a person recommended by the Lu family, he naturally sided with the Lu family faction. After a party dispute, he was sent to the remote south. The boat and carriage were tiring, and only four people were with us.

Here, Chen Luo serves as an official with all his heart and sticks to his true intentions.

Unlike all those who have overcome the tribulation, Chen Luo knows what he wants and what he is doing. Therefore, when doing things, it gives people a very serious feeling. This year, with the help of his sister-in-law Xin Hong, he married the daughter of a local wealthy family and started a family.

He took root in this place and began to run the mountain city with heart.

Seven years passed by in a flash. Under his governance, the politics of the mountain city were clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Government office.

Chen Luo's body, Zhang Zheng, is already thirty-four years old. He, who was in charge of the government, relied on his own skills and the help brought by his marriage to completely gain a foothold and began to reach out to the court again.

The current situation is chaotic, officials are seriously corrupt, and incidents of common people revolting occur from time to time. Faced with the rebellion of the people below, the elders above do not take it seriously. Only when you are in this era can you understand that rebellion is not a scary thing. From the perspective of officials, it is nothing more than adding a lot of security and military spending. As long as the higher authorities are willing to allocate funds, they can quickly wipe out those mud-legged rebels.

As long as there is enough money.

Compared with the mud-legged rebellion, the real trouble is the wealthy families, military officers, and restless princes. Those are the fundamental reasons that shake the dynasty's rule. Chen Luo was also thinking about these issues, but he was thinking more about where Ao Ye was.

He has been looking for Ao Ye for these years, but has not been able to find him. A dozen other unrelated Jie cultivators and Shuifu monsters were found, but it was a pity that these people had lost their true intentions and forgotten themselves. They are drowning in the inner demons and chasing their own desires. This also made Chen Luo understand that the road to 'growing demons' is not as simple as expected, and not all demon seeds can blossom and bear fruit.

"It's night, be careful of catching a cold."

A piece of clothing was draped on Chen Luo's body, waking him up from his thoughts.

She is a woman wearing a light green dress and a beaded flower on her head. She has a beautiful face and a gentle personality. It was the wife in the robbery. Different from the woman whose name could not even be named, this woman's name was Wen Wan, and she was the wife of 'Zhang Zheng'.

"I made you a bowl of red bean porridge."

The woman put a bowl of red bean porridge on the edge of the table. After many years of marriage, the relationship between the two has always been very dull. Wen Wan never complained about anything, she just tried her best to play the role of a wife.

"Um."

Chen Luo responded, picked up the red bean porridge and took a sip. It was very light, with a slight sweetness. Chen Luo remembered that the year he got married, he accidentally said that he liked to eat lighter food, and then the woman remembered it.

The details are meticulous and the care lasts for eight years.

The oil lamp flickered, and the silhouettes of the two people were reflected on the wall in front of the desk.

The dynasty became increasingly turbulent, and a military commander in the north rebelled, which dealt a heavy blow to the dynasty. Even if the rebels were suppressed by the court, some of the fig leaves hidden under the prosperous age were lifted. Many people came to their senses and realized that the court was not as strong as they thought.

In the same year, a rebellion occurred in the southwest, causing civil unrest and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it.

As the only court official in the southwest, Chen Luo was also on the list of conquests. The rebels also sent letters of persuasion to surrender to him through the channels of local wealthy families.

night.

study.

Chen Luo stood by the window, with two books placed on the desk next to him. The chaos in the southwest suddenly put him on the line. His choice will affect the lives of all his relatives, and those who entrusted their lives and wealth to him will also have different endings because of his choice.

Whether it's life or death, it all depends on his thought.

"Heart Demon Tribulation..."

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Chen Luo sensed the calamity surrounding him. Different from the previous times, this time it was his calamity, and his identity was no longer the 'inner demon' that led to depravity, but the one who overcomes the evil. Robber. If it weren't for the external brain reminder, he would have faced the same choice as other tribulation survivors. Who can stick to their heart in this situation? It’s all about weighing the pros and cons.

"It's getting cold, please take some rest."

Wen Wan walked in from outside, and the familiar voice seemed like yesterday.

She was still dressed the same as when they first met, wearing a light green dress and a beaded flower on her hair. Chen Luo sometimes feels that he doesn't understand this woman very well. She listens to him in everything, but sometimes she has her own opinions.

"What do you think I should choose?"

Chen Luo looked at his first wife and suddenly asked.

"I believe in your husband's decision."

Wenwan thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"Sister-in-law is not in good health recently. Please go see her more often."

Chen Luo smiled and did not discuss this topic again. He thought of 'Zhang Zheng's' sister-in-law Xin Hong, who was also the person Zhang Zheng cared about most. After becoming an official, Chen Luo always took Xin Hong with him so that she no longer had to do the hard work. It's just that the root cause of the disease was caused by overwork when I was young, and now it has begun to break out. Xin Hong, who is in her forties, has wrinkles on her face and her hair is turning gray. She rarely goes out for a walk on weekdays. She has been coughing badly recently. Chen Luo has found many doctors for her, but nothing works.

"Um."

Wen Wan responded, she had been taking care of Xin Hong all these years.

Chen Luo chose to follow the imperial court and send troops to quell the rebellion.

"Something to do, something not to do." The glory and wealth promised by the rebels were nothing but passing smoke in his opinion.

A few months later, the imperial army pressed on the border.

The three thousand rebels led by Chen Luo were incorporated into the imperial army, and his position was subsequently changed to Sima of another department. He also met a senior official sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, an old man with a stern face. This man had an aura that no one else had.

"Zuo Qiulong?"

Chen Luo discovered that this man actually had a demon seed between his eyebrows.

He did not expect that the leader of the robbery cultivators who followed Madam Hong would turn into a different person after changing the environment. Everyone's circumstances are different, and different environments produce different people. Only the true heart is unique.

"Zhang Sima is tired from traveling. Let's go down and rest first. I have a student who is also an official in the southwest like Sima. You two may be able to chat." Zuo Qiulong did not have the corresponding memory. He just said to him with a smile. Chen Luo expressed his approval to the officials of the imperial court, and then introduced him to a young man.

Ao Ye!

Chen Luo had been looking for his disciple Ao Ye for many years, but unexpectedly he met him here. Like Zuo Qiulong, Ao Ye didn't remember what happened outside. He was just an army commander here, but like Zuo Qiulong, he hated evil as much as he hated evil. He hated those thieves who brought trouble to Chao Gang.

They believed that they had brought trouble to the country and disturbed the people.

Chen Luo and Ao Ye became friends. Because he was more than ten years older than Ao Ye, Ao Ye called him his brother. The two worked together in the army, and after several years, they finally put down the southwest rebellion. During the conversation, Chen Luo learned about Ao Ye's identity. He was a Beijing official. Because he spoke out and remonstrated, he was demoted to the southwest. This time Zuo Qiulong led his army to suppress the rebellion, and he was the first to respond. Because of his upright character, he was highly regarded by Zuo Qiulong.

"I want to follow Sir, clarify Yunei, and revive Chao Gang."

Ao Ye said something like a scholar, with a firm heart.

Half a year later, the army led by Zuo Qiulong put down the rebellion. He captured the culprit alive and beheaded the clan. After that, he and Ao Ye took office in Southwest China and began to re-govern the people's livelihood and restore the cities destroyed by the rebels. Chen Luo also joined Zuo Qiulong's command and became an official under him.

Three years later, Chen Luo was forty years old.

The southwest was pacified, and Zuoqiu Long's squadron returned to the court.

Recommend two people to come to Beijing.

Chen Luo and Ao Ye were transferred back to Beijing and their official careers took a further step. Because of the long journey, Chen Luo went to the post alone this time without any family members. When he was leaving, he stood outside the pavilion and looked at his wife Wen Wan who was bidding farewell and his sister-in-law Xin Hong who was full of worry.

"It's a long way to go, husband, please be careful. I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

"treasure."

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Chen Luo chose to enter the capital. In the land of the capital, he saw more seeds of inner demon calamity. Some of these people were princes and nobles, and some were traffickers and pawns. Everyone had different circumstances and different choices.

Zuo Qiulong put down the rebellion, restored people's livelihood, gained a first-rank official position, officially ascended the throne and became prime minister of the empire.

Chen Luo and Ao Ye were also promoted and officially became members of Zuo Qiulong's lineage.

The relationship between the three of them has also become closer.

Two years later, Chen Luo established himself in the capital and sent people to the southwest to bring his sister-in-law and his wife Wen Wan over. In this way, life became peaceful again, with Zuo Qiulong sitting in the court. With the support of the emperor, he began to vigorously reform and rectify the military system. If the dynasty was prosperous, such reforms would naturally have no impact, but now that the imperial court is in decline, the foreign generals are self-respecting and do not listen to the imperial court's orders at all.

When they learned that the imperial court wanted to disband the army and cut military spending, the border troops rebelled and aimed at the Central Plains. The army responsible for resisting the rebels was defeated, and the rebels marched straight in to capture the imperial city.

The government and the public were shocked for a while.

A large number of officials petitioned for peace, asking the emperor to agree to the rebels' request, give up the dismantling of the army, open up the treasury, reward the rebel leaders, and promote them to three levels.

"You are full of nonsense. You are in vain for your royal salary. A great disaster is approaching. You do not want to serve the imperial court. Instead, you have an affair with the traitor. You should be punished for your crime!!"

Ao Ye couldn't help but walked out, pointed at the surrender officials and cursed.

He knew that among these people there must be lobbyists who had received benefits from the rebels. There were too many great people in this precarious court. Chen Luo stood in the corner, watching the scolding, and gradually discovered that two-thirds of the people in the court agreed to make peace. The most important thing was that the emperor sitting on the high seat also became timid. (End of chapter)
