Capital.

The central place of the Celestial Empire, the dragon qi is coiled, and the city of immortals and Buddhas is around.

When Wangcai came here, he was a little more energetic, and the dragon qi in the dark made him feel kind.

Led by the Xuanshi, the candidates who traveled thousands of miles in a day and came to the land of Gyeonggi were all amazed by the great power of the Xuanshi, and some of the candidates who were young and literate also wrote poems one after another, and gave them to a group of Xuanshi, expressing their sighs by the way, and licking the last wave without a trace.

The Xuanshi did not pay attention to those sad and sad candidates, who were rare and strange, and directly took them to a huge rest area.

At this moment, there are also Xuanshi from other strongholds, with a technique similar to Qiankun, who came with the candidates from all over the place.

These strongholds are all far away from the capital, and the candidates can't walk to the capital for a few years with their foot strength alone, so they need to be picked up.

The remoteness also means that there is less knowledge, and all the candidates are the same, licking the mysteries.

Mrs. Ye's team, Lao Xu, the head of the martial arts department who led the team, asked the candidates not to be uncommon and strange, and said:

"If nothing else, the exam will officially start tomorrow, first take the liberal arts, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow in the martial arts, also two, in the morning to test the ancient books of the art of war, in the afternoon to test the force, in the afternoon if the test is not completed, it will be postponed to the day after tomorrow.

There are a large number of liberal arts students, but the rules are very simple, that is, they go in and do the questions, and they don't need any competition system, and they can end in one day.

Originally, in the early years, liberal arts and martial arts were exams on the same day, but there was no shortage of wizards in Middle-earth since ancient times.

So it was later changed to a separate examination for liberal arts and martial arts, giving all capable people a chance to do their best.

As for cheating or something, don't think about it, there is a Xuanshi personally invigilated the exam, before the exam, an altar will be opened, please Wenqu Xingjun, Wuqu Xingjun show the saints, bless the fairness of the examination room, if you think you can hide from Wenwu Qu Xingjun, you can cheat and give it a try.

If you are caught, you will be beheaded, or you will be disqualified from the exam, so weigh it yourself.

Is there anything else you don't understand? You can ask us. ”

"Yes."

A candidate asked: "May I ask my lord, since since ancient times, there has been no double champion of civil and military affairs, so what is the point of such a separate examination, or in other words, if I am good in the liberal arts exam, and the martial arts also won the ranking, although I am not the champion, but both civil and military, is there any score bonus?" ”

Lao Xu glanced at him and replied: "Of course there is, as we all know, if you get a ranking in the liberal arts exam, you can serve as a civil official, a martial arts department, and you can serve as a military attaché.

Well, they are both members of the three grades of the court, but one is just a text, and the other is still holding a tiger talisman, in the court and in the army, there is a lot of influence, who do you think will be able to eat more?

The influence of the third-grade officials, who are both civil and military, is often not weaker than that of the first-rank officials, in other words, everyone will win you over, and you will be an indispensable member of the court.

And even if you make a big mistake in your civilian position, only if it is not a mistake to cut off your head, it is a big deal to remove you from your civilian position, and after you are dismissed, your position as an army general will still remain unchanged.

So do you think it's useful? ”

The candidates listened enthusiastically and began to discuss, but most liberal arts candidates said that they were powerless, which was an exaggeration, but it was indeed much weaker than ordinary people who did manual work, and they were not qualified at all.

At this time, many people's eyes vaguely glanced at Mrs. Ye.

Have they heard that this ruthless man who kicked the boulder is still a county Xie Yuan, and he was also escorted to the palace test, isn't it doomed, this will definitely add double points and become a temple member?

That's what they need to woo them over.

Lao Xu also noticed everyone's gaze, he also looked at Mrs. Ye, and said: "Your martial arts have been escorted, take the liberal arts test well, and strive to win the ranking of the palace examination, at that time, the civil and military double palace examination is destined to become the focus of attention, and the saint will also notice you." ”

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Thank you, Xiao Xu, I will carry you when the time comes." ”

Lao Xu glared and said, "Where is this!" Before the exam started, did you start changing your name? Xiao Xu, very good, if you don't enter the palace exam in liberal arts, the Sprinkle family will directly cancel your martial arts escort quota! ”

Ye Tai smiled: "Cheng, if you don't get into the palace test, I won't mess around, and if you cancel it, you will cancel it." ”

Lao Xu was speechless and said, "You are really confident, okay, then I'll wait and see, waiting for you to carry me." ”

After that, he looked at the candidates again and said, "That's it, if you still have questions, just go here casually, find someone in official uniform and ask, we ran for a day and a night, and it is time to go back and rest." ”

The candidates saluted one after another.

"Your Excellency, please walk slowly."

"My lord, please rest well, you don't need to worry about us anymore."

Lao Xu didn't say much, he glanced at Ye Tai and Wangcai who were there again, and took the Xuanshi away.

After they left, the candidates raised their heads and wanted to come and have a relationship with Ye Taila.

However, before they could speak, Ye Tai and Wangcai jumped up, jumped out of the crowd, and slipped away, instead of playing Tai Chi with these people, it was better to go and see the prosperity of Gyeonggi.

……

Palace.

Kokushifu.

Everyone here has a small courtyard, elegantly decorated, pavilions, and elegant.

Wushuang Guoshi is just a respectful title, which means that every Guoshi is an indispensable and unique existence of the Great Liang Country.

And not just the meaning of this one countryman.

Lu Honghuang, when he stepped into the land immortal realm, was noticed by many people, not long after walking out of the boundary of Guangxiu County, the palace was approached by a Xuanshi, first respectfully saluted, and then invited him to become a Liang Guoshi, with the same status as the king with a different surname.

Lu Honghuang was not a person who pursued fame and fortune, but he didn't think of a good place to go at that time, so he promised to come down, entered Gyeonggi, was personally received by the emperor, was named a peerless national soldier, and stayed in the national scholar's mansion.

There are five national scholars, and their nominal leader is the one who was regarded as the national teacher and the emperor by the Emperor of Daliang, and the Huaiqi Sanxian who is the same land immortal in the world as Lu Honghuang.

It is said that it is the head of the country, but in fact it is the relationship between the parliamentarians and the chairman of the parliament, there is no direct subordinate relationship at the bureaucratic level, the national teacher is more like the collective spokesman of the national soldiers, and important matters must also be discussed with the national scholars, but he is alone and has two voting rights, while the other national scholars have only one.

However, Lu Honghuang didn't like to see this so-called national teacher, and when he saw him for the first time, he bluntly said that this person was not right.

directly blocked the words of Huai Qi Sanxian and other national scholars.

The other countrymen didn't say much, because they didn't reach the realm of other land immortals, they were a level lower, and they had some superficial friendship with Huai Gui Sanxian.

It is foreseeable that the meeting of the two human land immortals of the Great Liang Kingdom is naturally not very pleasant, and it can be regarded as a small beam.

During this period of time, Lu Honghuang also lived in a shallow manner, I don't know if Huai Huang Sanxian went to the emperor to blow the wind on his ears, and he didn't care if his position would be shaken, but he exercised his right to vote when discussing political affairs.

If the emperor is so easily bewitched by Huai Gui Sanxian, he is a national warrior, and it is not appropriate, the world is big, where can he not go?

In this way, he stayed quietly in the Guoshi Mansion for two or three months, and Lu Honghuang became an outsider in the Guoshi Mansion, as long as he did not rise to the level, there was no Guoshi to disturb him in the affairs that required the exercise of voting rights.

Although there are one or two countrymen who have the heart to befriend him, Lu Honghuang has a strange temper and is not close to people, and the reason why Huai Hui is scattered immortals has 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 great scholars have no political power, but most of the mystical scholars in the capital are under their control.

Although Lu Honghuang's eyes were blind, he still turned his head and looked outside the Guoshi's Mansion, a Xuanshi he had never seen before, waiting for him to summon him.

Originally, Lu Honghuang didn't want to see it, but the person who came to report said something: "Listening to Lord Xu, it seems to be related to Guangxiu County, the son of the county order." ”

Lu Honghuang's face changed, he directly raised his hand to grab it, and took Xu Ge into his house in the air.

After letting the servant go down, Lu Hong's empty eyes had a burning feeling, and he looked at Xu Ge and said, "Tell me, the son of Ye County Ling, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Ge felt in his heart the profundity of the cultivation of the unparalleled national warrior, and before he could react, he was directly summoned in, and reported truthfully: "Qi Guoshi, I just came to ask, Guangxiu County, Ye Tai, the son of the county order, is it your apprentice's matter, is it true?" ”

Lu Honghuang's face is strange, you're not kidding, are you?

He's my apprentice?

So who am I?

The Jade Emperor was reincarnated?

Lu Honghuang didn't answer directly, but asked, "Why do you say that, have you seen Mrs. Ye?" ”

Xu Ge replied: "The subordinates are responsible for the migration of the candidates for the imperial examination of Tongzhou Prefecture to Jinggi, Ye Tai and Ye Qing, the sons of the county order of Guangxiu County, are also among them, the two are born with divine power, and they are indeed good seedlings, and the subordinates have asked, where are they from, Ye Tai said bluntly, from Guangxiu County, and Lu Guoshi have intersected, implying that the subordinates, they are your disciples, after comprehensive consideration, the subordinates will directly escort them to enter the palace examination of the martial arts examination."

But there were still doubts in his heart, so he came to Lu Guoshi to verify whether Ye Tai's words were true? ”

Lu Honghuang thought for a while and said, "But the intersection is quite deep, it doesn't hurt if you escort them, and the palace test is nothing to them." ”

Xu Ge nodded and said: "That's fine, the subordinates are afraid that someone will deceive in the name of Lu Guoshi, in addition, the subordinates see that Mrs. Ye is very confident in the civil and military double palace test, at that time, it will inevitably become the focus of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, will the subordinates truthfully report the relationship between Mrs. Ye and you?" If the emperor knew about this relationship, and Ye Tai himself was talented, he might be able to go one step further above the court. ”

Lu Honghuang said: "If you want to tell me, just tell me?" ”

Xu Ge smiled bitterly: "Yes and no, my subordinates know that Lu Guoshi and the national teacher are separated, so I am afraid that when the time comes, they will be targeted by the national teacher, so that the original talented people cannot make the best use of their talents." ”

Lu Honghuang looked at him and said: "You don't have to worry about Ye Tai and Ye Qing's affairs, Huai Gui has the courage and ability, and he can target him if he wants, but you, who said it so bluntly, and came directly to the door, aren't you afraid that the Huai Hui Party will fight against each other?" ”

Xu Ge finally shook out his thoughts at this time, and said: "It's not a secret, although the national teacher of Huai Hui has contributed to the Great Liang, but in the eyes of many people, there are many mistakes, and the people have been grudging for a long time, especially in the prosperous era of Chengping, he made the saint increase taxes sharply, just for his own selfishness, cultivating the Xuanshi under the faction, and the reputation of his enlightenment and Taoism, the important matter of the country."

After years of getting along with the national teacher, the saint is convinced of it, and agrees with the words of the national teacher, only the Xuanshi Xuancan can protect the immortality of the foundation of the Great Liang State.

But as everyone knows, in today's prosperous world, there is no worry at home, there is no trouble outside, and the talent of the Xuanshi of the Great Liang Country has already far surpassed that of other countries several times, dozens of times, and there is no need to sacrifice the people at the expense of cultivating and hoarding more Xuanshi, and if this continues, the people will not be able to make a living.

Some time ago, in the same Guangxiu County, bandits were rampant, led by warlocks, and as a result, the national teacher faction, thinking that the bandit leader had a talent for mysteries, so he was extrajudicial and recruited An as the faction.

And those ordinary bandits with bloody hands, because of this reason, have rightfully become good citizens of Liang State, and they are called: thieves.

It has also continued to cause chaos among the people, and it has a great momentum of superiority.

Dare to ask the Great Liang Kingdom, the country's warriors are unparalleled, and there are thousands of Xuanshi, why do you need to bow your head and compromise with a gang of thieves?

That's it, the thief is a troublemaker, and it is already a merciful act to exonerate him from capital crimes, so how can he be superior to others?

The national teacher has strengthened his own faction so much and hoarded Xuanshi, which has invisibly formed an atmosphere in which Xuanshi is superior to others and kills people and is exempted from crime.

So this Great Liang Country, in the long run, is it still the Great Liang Country of ordinary good people, or the Great Liang Country of the Zhao family?

The emperor may have realized that such a trend must not be promoted, but the law introduced to restrict the Xuanshi and the factions of the national teachers cannot be implemented for a long time, which is no different from being abandoned.

At this moment, it is the threshold that Lu Guoshi's talent should stand up.

Except for you, no one can compete with the land immortals in the world, which is also the reason why people with lofty ideals have been dormant for a long time and dare not speak out. ”

Lu Honghuang's eyes were subtle, it turned out that there was still such a thing?

He is a person outside the temple all the year round, and he has never even stepped out of Guangxiu County.

Now that he has only recently entered Beijing, he has lived in a simple way, and he has never cared about political affairs and partisan disputes, so it is understandable that he has not been able to know the doorway in detail.

Huai Huang Sanxian has a huge faction, and he is a land immortal in the world, even if it is himself, he can't directly compete with him.

After all, people not only have a lot of helpers, but also have been a national teacher for many years, and they hold a lot of immortal treasures.

In the same realm, he is a carriage, and he is a chariot with complete armor and iron cavalry.

Direct confrontation, the best result, that is, to die with him.

After all, with the blessing of several immortal treasures, even if you think you are invincible in the world, you can't stand the many life-saving magic weapons and treacherous magic weapons of others.

But it's so hard for me, let alone anyone else.

Thinking about it, it seems that only oneself is barely qualified, and against Huai Hui Sanxian, no matter how many others are, they are cannon fodder.

Lu Honghuang thought for a while, and said: "I didn't want to get involved in too many court affairs, but the thieves in Guangxiu County, I have been tired of being presumptuous for a long time, since there is still this relationship, I should stand up, but ......

Also need a by-head.

You will let out the news that I may organize the faction, and then hint at Ye Tai, Ye Qing, and my intersection with me in the court, remember, don't say that I am their teacher, just hint.

At that time, when Huai Qi Sanxian was in the palace test, it would be aimed at Ye Tai and Ye Qing...... He's done. ”

Well, he's done.

It's as simple as that.

You can directly target, even if you do it directly, if Mrs. Ye is defeated by you, it will not be a problem for you to be the emperor.

Because in that case, you are not a Huai Gui Sanxian, but a Huai Gui Daluo Jin Immortal, who can resist in the world?

But don't say it, I'm Mrs. Ye and their master, I can't stand it, I can't afford it, saying that they are my ancestors, that's all putting gold on my face.

It's not a calculation, after all, there are rampant thieves in Guangxiu County, and Ye Bizhen County Order is also a big headache, compared to Mrs. Ye, if she knew the reason, she wouldn't blame it.

After all, it's just a Huai Qi scattered immortal......

Xu Ge naturally didn't know what Lu Honghuang was thinking, and when he heard him say this, he thought that this was the reason why Lu Guoshi needed, Huai Gui Sanxian, to make a move against Lu Guoshi's apprentice, Lu Guoshi was famous, and he also organized factions to compete.

There is a high probability that the saint actually doesn't want to see that the Huai Huang Sanxian family is dominant.

Lu Guoshi stood up at this time, and gave Huai Gui Sanxian a check and balance, and he was happy to come to the Holy Lord, and even secretly promoted Lu Guoshi's faction.

Xu Ge said excitedly: "Lu Guoshi is very good! Xu Ge and several colleagues are bound to help each other, and it is incumbent on them to break their bones! ”

Lu Honghuang: "Go, remember not to say it directly, I am Mrs. Ye's teacher." ”

Xu Ge: "Good! ”
