Li Mu had no one in the Zhongshu Province, but as a consultant to the Zhongshu Province, he had a great say in the reform of the official selection system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If the Queen is involved in Cui Ming's case, things will become more complicated. If Zongzheng Temple can be penetrated, everything will become justifiable.
The formulation of this imperial examination policy is the best opportunity.
Zhongshu Sheng will go back tomorrow. Today he will help Xiaobai protect the law and let her complete the transformation from a demon fox to a spirit fox.
That night.
Li Mansion.
The girl sat cross-legged on the bed, and Li Mu sat cross-legged behind her, with his hands on her back, continuously feeding the mana in his body into her body.
The stopper of the crystal bottle placed in front of the bed suddenly opened, and the bright red blood flew out of the bottle and entered Xiaobai's body.
These few drops of black fox blood contained a large amount of spiritual power. After blending into Xiaobai's blood, the blood in her body almost boiled, and a large amount of white gas came out of her body.
Li Mu used all his strength to help her refine those few drops of black fox blood.
On the girl's delicate little face, her brows were furrowed and her lips were biting lightly, as if she was undergoing tremendous torture.
In her body, the essence and blood of the black fox continued to resist, but soon, as if it sensed something, it gradually became gentle and began to completely integrate with her blood.
Li Mu also discovered the peacefulness of Xuanhu's blood. These few drops of blood must have felt the aura of his own race.
Those few drops of essence and blood no longer resisted, and the refining process became much easier. Xiao Bai could do it by himself. Just as Li Mu took back his hand, he suddenly felt a few furry and soft things in his arms.
He looked down and saw four white tails.
When the fox demon evolves, it will give birth to an extra tail. It cannot maintain a complete human form and the tail will appear. Li Mu sits cross-legged behind Xiao Bai, and her tail reaches into Li Mu's arms.
She used to have three tails and four tails, which shows that she has successfully advanced.
The girl turned back and looked at Li Mu with a charming look: "My dear friend, I, I have advanced to the fourth tail..."
Her beautiful face and seductive eyes seemed to suck Li Mu's soul out of her body.
Li Mu chanted the Qingxin Jue to get rid of her charm. He reached out and tapped her on the forehead and said, "Don't enchant me!"
The girl covered her head and said aggrievedly: "I don't have..."
The pitiful expression I saw made Li Mu's heart tremble again.
Li Mu jumped off the bed, hunched over to escape, and said, "I want to practice in seclusion. You can sleep in your own room tonight..."
Li Mu fled back to his room and lay on the bed, his heart still beating fast.
The charm of the spirit fox is already so powerful, can Xuanhu and Tianhu still fight it?
No wonder the fox tribe can become the supreme among monsters if they give birth to nine tails, and can compete with the ninth realm experts of the human race and dragon tribe. This is a racial talent given to them by God. They just stand there and do nothing, and they can also compete with the ninth realm experts of the human race and dragon race.
It has a great impact on the enemy's state of mind.
Tonight, Li Mu had a rare insomnia.
He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Finally, he fell asleep, and the figure of Xiaobai appeared in his mind again.
Not only Xiaobai, but also Liu Hanyan, Wanwan, everything was still under Li Mu's control at first, but later, for some reason, this dream slipped in a direction beyond his control...
This is the sequelae of being seduced by Xiaobai. Li Mu clearly knows that this is wrong, but he is addicted to it.
Liu Hanyan, Wanwan, Xiaobai... If Li Mu hadn't been charmed by Xiaobai, Li Mu would never have dared to think like this in his dreams before.
Suddenly, Li Mu felt like he was being watched.
He turned around and saw a familiar figure standing in the distance.
Li Mu's whole body trembled, and his consciousness that had sunk in his dream immediately woke up.
The figures of Liu Hanyan, Wanwan, and Xiaobai suddenly disappeared. Li Mu looked at the figures in the distance and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..."
The figure stood there and gradually faded away.
In the room, Li Mu suddenly sat up from the bed, recalling the dream just now and the Queen who finally appeared and witnessed everything, and lost all sleep.
There are no words to describe how he feels now.
After seeing the scene just now, his tall and majestic image in the Queen's mind may have collapsed.
He has to go to court tomorrow, how can he show up in front of the Queen?
After a sleepless night, Li Mu originally wanted to take leave early the next morning, but then he thought about it. He could avoid the first day of the Lunar New Year but not the fifteenth day. Avoiding would not solve the problem. As long as he was not embarrassed, the empress would be the one who was embarrassed.
After all, by intruding into other people's dreams without their consent, no matter how you look at it, it's her fault first.
In today's morning meeting, there were not many things worthy of discussion. It was just some officials putting forward some suggestions of their own regarding the imperial examination.
The changes in the court's official selection system have been finalized. The four major academies have no objections, and the officials in the DPRK can only accept it. The only thing to blame is the failure of the four major academies. I blame Mr. Huang for having selfish motives, and insisting on Li Mubi who is the king of heaven and earth.
darling...
Li Mu had been hiding in the corner of Ziwei Hall all morning without saying a word. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at him in the curtain. Under that gaze, he seemed to have returned to the same state as last night.
Naked look.
Fortunately, today's morning session ended quickly, and Li Mu couldn't wait to leave Ziwei Hall and went straight to Zhongshu Province.
I came here once yesterday. Li Mu and the six people from Zhongshu Province were not friends, but at least they were familiar with each other.
Today, the seven people continued to discuss the details of the imperial examination.
Li Mu pointed out one thing and said: "The imperial examination requires absolute fairness and impartiality. The academy era has passed. No matter how big the official is, no matter how many famous families have been passed down for many years, they cannot bypass the imperial examination and directly recommend..."
Zhou Xiong retorted: "The power of the nine prominent families has been there since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Can you cancel it if you want?"
Li Mudao: "It's not me who wants to cancel it, but His Majesty who wants to cancel it."
Zhou Xiong snorted coldly: "Don't use your Majesty to scare me. Your Majesty has never said such a thing."
Li Mu patted the table and said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you want me to be the advisor or should you be the advisor? You like to talk so much. You can speak for me later. I will be at ease..."
Liu Yi quickly advised: "Master Li, calm down, calm down, you have something to say..."
The imperial examination system was the first of its kind in the dynasty, and Zhongshu Province had no experience to draw from. Without Li Mu's help, it would have been impossible to complete such a huge project within a month.
Li Mu glanced at Zhou Xiong and said, "I am extremely suspicious that Zhou Sheren is venting a personal grudge against me."
Everyone knew very well about Li Mu and Zhou Chu's affairs. Zhou Xiong was Zhou Chu's second uncle. It was not surprising that he was in tit-for-tat with Li Mu because of Zhou Chu's affairs.
Liu Yi looked at Zhou Xiong and said: "Mr. Zhou, the errands assigned by your Majesty are the most important. Can you put your personal grudges aside for now?"
Zhou Xiong snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Li Mu glanced at him again and said: "I have spoken in front of you. If Zhou Sheren says another thing, I will not care about the imperial examination."
Although the expression on Zhou Xiong's face was angry, he kept his mouth shut after all. The imperial examination had been the top priority of Zhongshu Province in the past month. He could not bear the responsibility for delaying this important event.
Li Mu pointed to another article and said: "After the implementation of the imperial examination, the officials of the three provinces, six ministries, twenty-four divisions, nine temples, and thirty-six counties were all produced by the imperial examination. Why is Zongzheng Temple the exception?"
Xiao Ziyu raised his head and glanced at Li Mu. Liu Yi explained: "Master Li doesn't know something. Officials of Zongzheng Temple have been held by the royal family since ancient times, and they would not be assigned to students from the four major academies in the past."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "As the most important system of the imperial court in the future, under the imperial examination, no matter whether it is three provinces, six ministries or nine temples, they must be treated equally, and Zongzheng Temple is no exception."
Xiao Ziyu said decisively: "I object, this is the ancestral system, and the ancestral system cannot be abolished."
Liu Yi and others did not speak. Although the Xiao family is not all royal family, the Zhou royal family and the Xiao family among the nine surnames have a deep connection and share common interests. Naturally, they are unwilling to give up control of Zongzheng Temple.
.
Liu Yi and others continued to remain silent. The Xiao family did not control Zongzheng Temple. For them, the difference was not big and there was no need to intervene in this matter.
The Zhou family and the Xiao family have been fighting in the court for three years. Although Zhou Xiong hates Li Mu, he supports him unconditionally in this matter.
However, Li Mu had just promised not to let him speak, otherwise he would ignore the matter. He moved his lips several times, but in the end he remained silent.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Li Mu looked at Zhou Xiong and said, "Zhou Sheren, speak up. You just spoke so much, why are you mute now?"
Zhou Xiong's chest rose and fell, he swallowed a sigh of relief, and said, "I agree with Master Li. All departments in the imperial court should be treated equally. Why should Zongzheng Temple be an exception?"
Xiao Ziyu said: "The officials of Zongzheng Temple have always been held by the royal family. This is the rule set by Taizu."
Li Mu smiled and said: "If Zongzheng Temple officials must be from the royal family, then the person in charge of Zongzheng Temple now should be the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou, don't you think so?"
Li Mu hit the nail on the head, and Xiao Ziyu was unable to refute for a moment.
"Master Li's words make sense!" Zhou Xiong quickly agreed. When he looked at Li Mu again, he found that he didn't seem as annoying as before...
