In the center of Daliang in the Kingdom of Heaven, the city is surrounded by dragons and immortals.
Wangcai felt a little more energetic when he came here. The dragon energy in the air made him feel friendly.
The candidates who were led by the Xuanshi and traveled thousands of miles in one day to the capital were all amazed by the power of the Xuanshi. Some young candidates even wrote lyrics and poems and gave them to the Xuanshi to express their feelings.
I sighed for a moment, and even licked it without leaving any trace.
The Xuanshi did not pay attention to the sad and strange candidates, and took them directly to a huge rest area.
At this moment, there were also Xuanshi who came from other strongholds and brought the candidates with them using techniques similar to those of Qiankun.
These strongholds are all relatively far away from the capital. Candidates cannot reach the capital even if they walk for several years, so they need to be transported.
Remoteness means less knowledge. All candidates are the same, licking the Xuanshi.
Ye Tai and his team were led by Lao Xu, the person in charge of the martial arts department, who asked the candidates to stop being so strange and said:
"If nothing else goes wrong, the general examination will officially start tomorrow. First, there will be a liberal arts test, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The day after tomorrow, there will be two martial arts tests. The ancient books on the art of war will be tested in the morning, and the martial arts test will be tested in the afternoon. If the test cannot be completed in the afternoon, it will be postponed to the day after tomorrow.
.
There are many people in liberal arts, but the rules are very simple. Just go in and do the questions. There is no competition system and it can be finished in one day.
Originally, in the early years, liberal arts and martial arts were tested on the same day, but China has never lacked talents since ancient times. Some people rushed through the martial arts exam and took the liberal arts exam at the same time, and their results were pretty good.
So it was later changed to separate examinations for liberal arts and martial arts, giving all talented people a chance to do their best.
As for cheating, don't think about it. A Xuanshi will personally supervise the exam. Before the exam starts, an altar will be set up to invite Lord Wenquxing and Lord Wuquxing to appear as saints and bless the examination room to be fair and just. If you think you can hide it from Lord Wenquxing and Wuquxing, try your best to do so.
You can try cheating.
If you are caught, you may be beheaded, or you may be deprived of the qualification to take the exam. You can decide for yourself.
Is there anything else you don’t understand? You can ask us.”
"have."
One candidate asked: "Excuse me, sir, since there has never been a top scholar in both civil and military subjects since ancient times, what is the point of separate examinations? In other words, if I do well in liberal arts, I also get a ranking in martial arts, although I am not the top scholar.
, but is there any score bonus for being both civil and military?"
Lao Xu glanced at him and replied: "Of course there is. As we all know, if you get a rank in the liberal arts exam, you can serve as a civil servant, and in the martial arts exam, you can serve as a military attache. If you get both, you will not only get extra points, but you will also be recognized by the Minister of Humerus.
With the recognition of the Holy Lord, you can receive rewards that exceed your ranking, and you can also hold multiple positions. This means that you can hold a liberal arts official position, and you can also serve as a military general.
Well, they are both third-rank officials in the court, but one only submits documents, while the other holds a tiger talisman. They both have great influence in the court and in the army. Who do you think will be more liberal?
The influence of third-grade officials who hold both civil and military positions is often no less than that of first-grade officials. In other words, everyone will win over you, and you will become an indispensable member of the court.
And even if you make a big mistake in your civilian career, as long as it's not a beheading mistake, the worst case scenario is that you will be dismissed from your civilian career. After you are dismissed, your position as a military general will still remain unchanged.
So do you think it’s useful?”
The candidates listened with enthusiasm and started talking about it. However, most of the liberal arts candidates said that they were powerless. That was an exaggeration. However, they were indeed much weaker than ordinary people who did physical work. They were not qualified to take the martial arts examination at all.
Yes, if you participate, you are just humiliating yourself.
At this time, many people's eyes vaguely glanced at Mrs. Ye.
Have they heard that this ruthless man who kicked a huge boulder away is still the leader of the county, and he was also recommended for the palace examination. Isn't it destined that this person will definitely get double bonus points and become a temple official?
?
This is the person they need to win over.
Lao Xu also noticed everyone's attention. He also looked at Mrs. Ye and said: "You have been recommended for martial arts. Take the liberal arts test well and try to get a place in the palace examination. When the civil and military examinations are held, you are destined to become the focus.
The Holy One will also notice you."
Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Thank you, Xiao Xu. I will help you when the time comes."
Lao Xu glared and said: "Where are you! You haven't even started taking the exam yet, and you're already changing your title? Xiao Xu, very good. If you fail the imperial examination in liberal arts, the Sa family will directly cancel your admission quota in martial arts!"
Ye Tai smiled and said: "Sure, if I don't pass the palace examination, I won't be around anymore. If I cancel it, I'll cancel it."
Lao Xu was speechless and said: "You are really confident. Okay, then I will wait and see and wait for you to help me."
After that, he looked at the candidates and said, "Let's stop here. If you still have any questions, just go inside and find someone in official uniform to ask. We've been running all day and all night, so it's time to go back and rest."
The candidates bowed and saluted one after another.
"Sir, please walk slowly."
"Sir, please have a good rest. There is no need to worry about us anymore."
Lao Xu didn't say much, took another look at Ye Tai and Wang Cai where the old gods were present, and left with the Xuanshi.
After they left, all the candidates raised their heads and wanted to come and have sex with Ye Taila.
However, before he could speak, Ye Taihe Wangcai jumped up, jumped out of the crowd, and slipped away. Instead of playing Tai Chi with these people, they might as well go and see the prosperity of Gyeonggi.
…
Royal Palace.
Guoshifu.
Everyone here has a small courtyard with elegant decoration, pavilions and pavilions, majestic and elegant.
Wushuang Guoshi is just a respectful title, which means that every Guoshi is indispensable and unique to the Liang Kingdom.
It's not just about a national scholar.
Lu Honghuang was noticed by many people when he stepped into the realm of land fairy. Not long after he left the boundary of Guangxiu County, a Xuanshi from the palace came to him. He first saluted respectfully, and then invited him to become a Daliang scholar. His status
He is of the same height as Wang with a different surname.
Lu Honghuang is not a person who pursues fame and wealth, but he did not expect a good place at that time, so he agreed to come down and entered the capital. He was personally received by the emperor, named an unparalleled national scholar, and moved into the national scholar's mansion.
There are five national scholars in total, and their nominal leader is Huagui Sanxian, who was regarded as the national master and imperial master by Emperor Daliang, and is a land immortal in the human world together with Lu Honghuang.
The boss is actually the relationship between the council members and the chairman of the council. There is no direct superior-subordinate relationship at the bureaucratic level. The national counselor is more like the collective spokesperson of the national scholars. Important matters must be discussed with the national scholars. He is just one
People only have two voting rights, while other national officials only have one.
However, Lu Honghuang did not like to see this so-called national master. When he met him for the first time, he bluntly said that this person had evil intentions.
He directly blocked the words of Huaigui Sanxian and other national scholars.
It’s hard to say much about the other national scholars, because they haven’t reached the realm of land immortals, they are a lower level, and they even have some superficial friendship with Huaigui Sanxian.
It can be predicted that the meeting between the two land immortals from the Liang Kingdom was not very pleasant, and they formed a small relationship.
During this period of time, Lu Honghuang also lived in a simple way. I don’t know if Huaigui Sanxian ever went to the emperor to turn a deaf ear to him. He didn’t care whether his position would be shaken. He only exercised his power when discussing political affairs at a certain time.
gain their right to vote.
If the emperor is so easily bewitched by the Immortal Huagui San, then it’s okay for him as a national scholar to be inappropriate. The world is huge, where can’t he go?
After staying quietly in the Imperial Palace for two or three months, Lu Honghuang became an outsider in the Imperial Palace. As long as he did not rise to the rank of senior official, no Imperial Guard would disturb him in matters that required him to exercise his right to vote.
Although there were one or two national scholars who wanted to make friends with him, Lu Honghuang had a weird temper and was unkind, and because of Huaigui Sanxian, he had no choice but to give up.
Today, someone came to report that a Xuanshi named Xu Ge came to visit.
The national scholars represent the ultimate power of cultivating the mysteries in the world. Although the five major national scholars do not have political power, most of the metaphysics in the capital are under their control.
Although Lu Honghuang was blind, he still turned his head and looked outside the Guoshi's Mansion, where a Xuanshi he had never seen before was waiting for him to summon him.
Originally Lu Honghuang didn't want to see him, but the person who came to report said: "I heard from Mr. Xu that it seems to be related to Guangxiu County, the son of the county magistrate."
Lu Honghuang's expression changed, he raised his hand to grab it, and took Xu Ge into his house from a distance.
After letting the servant go down, Lu Honghuang's empty eyes felt burning. He looked at Xu Ge and said, "Tell me, what happened to Magistrate Ye's son?"
Xu Ge was greatly impressed by the profound cultivation of the unparalleled national scholar. Before he could respond, he was directly summoned in and reported truthfully: "Qi Guoshi, I just came to ask, Mrs. Ye, the son of the magistrate of Guangxiu County,
Is it true that it was your apprentice?"
Lu Honghuang's face looked strange. Are you kidding me?
He is my apprentice?
Then who am I?
Did the Jade Emperor descend to earth and reincarnate?
Lu Honghuang did not answer directly, but asked: "Why do you say that? Have you met Mrs. Ye?"
Xu Ge replied: "My subordinate is responsible for the migration of imperial examination candidates from Tongzhou Prefecture to Gyeonggi. Ye Tai and Ye Qing, the sons of Guangxiu County Magistrate, are also among them. They are born with supernatural powers and are indeed good seedlings. My subordinate once asked,
Where did they come from? Mrs. Ye said bluntly that they came from Guangxiu County and had interacted with Lu Guoshi. She hinted to the subordinates that they are your disciples. After comprehensive consideration, the subordinates directly escorted them to enter the martial arts examination.
.
But I still had doubts in my heart, so I came to Lu Guoshi to verify whether what Ye Tai said was true."
Lu Honghuang thought for a while and said: "But we have quite a close relationship. It doesn't matter if you escort them. The palace examination is nothing to them."
Xu Ge nodded and said: "That's good. I'm afraid that someone will use the name of Lu Guoshi to cheat. In addition, I see that Mrs. Ye is very confident about the civil and military examinations. By then, she will definitely become the focus of the civil and military affairs of the court.
, will your subordinates report the relationship between Mrs. Ye and you truthfully? If the emperor knows about this relationship, and Mrs. Ye is a great talent, she may be able to take a step forward in the court."
Lu Honghuang said: "If you want to report it, you can report it. Is this the only thing you want to do to me?"
Xu Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Yes and no, my subordinates know that there is a rift between Lu Guoshi and the Imperial Preceptor, and they are afraid that if they have such a relationship, they will be targeted by the Imperial Preceptor, so that the originally talented people will not be able to use their talents to their full potential."
Its use.”
Lu Honghuang looked at him and said: "You don't need to worry about Ye Tai and Ye Qing's affairs. Huaigui has the courage and ability to target him whenever he wants. But you, who said it so bluntly and came directly to the door, are not afraid.
Is the Huaigui Party united and opposed by others?"
Xu Ge finally thought out his thoughts and said: "To be honest, although Imperial Master Huaigui has made great contributions to Daliang, many people think that there are many mistakes, and the people have been grudges for a long time, especially when he was in Taiping
In the prosperous age, the emperor ordered the emperor to increase taxes sharply, just for his own selfish benefit, and to cultivate Xuanshi under the faction, with the reputation of enlightening Taoism and studying Xuan, which was an important matter for the country.
The Holy Master has been with the Imperial Master for many years and has no doubts about him. He agrees with the Imperial Master's words that only the Xuanshi Xuanshi can protect the immortality of the foundation of the Liang Kingdom. A high-level Xuanshi can defeat ten thousand people with one person, and he can even beg for rain.
Avoid disasters and protect one side.
But as everyone knows, in today's prosperous age, there are no worries at home or external dangers. The talents of Da Liang Kingdom's scholars have already been many times or dozens of times better than those in other countries. There is no need to sacrifice the people to cultivate and hoard more scholars. In this way,
If it goes down, the people will not be able to survive.
Some time ago, in the same Guangxiu County, bandits were rampant, led by sorcerers. As a result, the National Preceptor Faction, hoping that the bandit leader had a talent for the occult, showed mercy and recruited An as a subordinate of the faction.
And those ordinary bandits whose hands were stained with blood, because of this reason, became Liang Guo's good citizens, and they were called: household robbers.
They also continued to cause chaos among the people, showing a strong tendency to be superior to others.
I dare to ask the Daliang Kingdom, which has unparalleled scholars and thousands of profound scholars, why should it bow to a group of bandits and compromise?
That's all. Robbers are the ones who bring trouble to a party. It's an act of kindness to show mercy to him outside the law and avoid death penalty. How can he be superior to others?
In this way, the Imperial Master has strengthened his own faction and hoarded Xuanshi, which has invisibly formed a culture in which Xuanshi are superior to others and can kill without impunity.
So, if things go on like this, this Daliang Kingdom will still be the Daliang Kingdom of ordinary people, or the Daliang Kingdom of the Zhao family?
The emperor may have realized that such a trend should not be encouraged, but the laws that were introduced to restrict Xuanshi and the factions of national teachers could not be implemented for a long time, which was no different from being abandoned.
At this moment, it is the critical moment for Lu Guoshi's talents to step forward.
Except for you, no one can compete with the land immortals in the world. This is why people with lofty ideals have been dormant for a long time and dare not speak out when they are angry."
Lu Honghuang's eyes were subtle, so there was something like this?
He has always been outside the temple and has never even set foot outside Guangxiu County.
I have just entered Beijing not long ago, and I live in a simple way. I have never cared about political affairs and party disputes, so I can't understand the details of it, which is understandable.
The Huaigui Sanxian faction is huge, and he is a land immortal on earth. Even he cannot directly compete with him.
After all, not only does he have many helpers, but he has also been a national master for many years and holds many treasures from the Immortal Family.
At the same level, he is a carriage, and others are a fully armored chariot leading cavalry.
In a direct confrontation, the best result would be to die together with him.
After all, with the blessing of several kinds of immortal treasures, even if he thinks he is invincible in attacking the world, he still can't resist the many life-saving and treacherous magic weapons.
But it’s so difficult for me, let alone others.
After thinking about it, it seems that I am the only one who is barely qualified to fight against Huaigui Sanxian. No matter how many others there are, they are just cannon fodder.
Lu Honghuang thought for a while and said: "I didn't want to get involved in too many court affairs, but I have been tired of the robbers in Guangxiu County for a long time. Since there is still such a relationship, I should stand up, but
…
Still need a starting point.
You spread the word that I might organize a faction, and then hint at the intersection between Mrs. Ye, Ye Qing, and me in the court. Remember, never say that I am their teacher. Just hint.
Can.
At that time, if Huaigui Sanxian targets Ye Tai and Ye Qing during the palace examination... he will be doomed."
Well, he's finished.
It's that simple.
You can directly target her, even if you do it directly. If Mrs. Ye is defeated by you, it won't be a problem for her to give up her position as emperor to you.
Because in that case, you would not be Huaigui Sanxian, but Huaigui Daluo Jinxian. Who in the world can resist?
But please don’t say that I am the master of Mrs. Ye and I cannot bear it or take it seriously. If you say that they are my masters, that is just putting money on my face.
It's not a calculation, after all, household thieves are rampant in Guangxiu County, and County Magistrate Ye Bizhen is also having a big headache. Compared to Mrs. Ye, she wouldn't blame him if she knew the whole story.
After all, he is just a Huaigui Sanxian...
Xu Ge naturally didn't know what Lu Honghuang was thinking. Hearing what he said, he thought that this was the reason why Lu Guoshi needed Huagui Sanxian to take action against Lu Guoshi's apprentices. Lu Guoshi was famous and organized factions to compete.
Most likely, the Holy Spirit would not want to see that the Huaigui Sanxian family is the only one.
Lu Guoshi stepped forward at this time to provide checks and balances to Huaigui Sanxian. I think the Holy Lord would be happy to see him, and would even secretly support Lu Guoshi's faction.
Xu Ge said excitedly: "The scholar of Lu State is a great kindness! Xu Ge and several colleagues will definitely help with their full strength. It is their duty to break their bodies to pieces!"
Lu Honghuang: "Go ahead, remember not to say it bluntly, I am Mrs. Ye's teacher."
