The imperial examination in this era, which is equivalent to the college entrance examination before Xu Mochen's crossing, is the key to the leaping dragon gate.

Daqian was originally a small country, but it was not easy to unify the world, and the compatibility of talents is still very large.

Many courtiers of the former hostile countries retained some of the capable ones.

The current ministers inside and outside the court are basically derived from this structure.

Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a talent selected by the emperor.

In addition, the important ministers in the court are all immortal cultivators, and Xu Mochen urgently needs to pass the imperial examination and personally promote a group of officials.

This is different from running national hospitals and research institutes, and what is needed to govern the country is political talents.

Technical talents can ignore the age of birth, but the selection of political talents is much stricter.

The birth of the family, whether the roots are upright, the political and ideological line, the education received, and so on, will affect the path that the person will take in the future.

Xu Mochen didn't want the person he selected to become his opponent in the end, and it would be worth the loss.

"So, next year's imperial examination is also a crucial step for me?" Xu Mochen asked.

"Your Majesty Shengming," Tang Derun took out a piece of information, "This is the list of big cadres and officials that Wei Chen got from the Ministry of Officials, from the prime minister to the county minister, there are records.

Your Majesty can find that our ministers, strictly speaking, have very few descendants, and they are all left over from the previous dynasty.

It cannot be said that they are not loyal and incompetent, but they must be guarded against others.

Once the situation of opposition between us and the immortal cultivators is exposed in the future, these people will ......."

Xu Mochen's eyes flashed, these people might become wall grass, or even directly throw themselves into the arms of immortal cultivators.

Just like King Ning, when an immortal cultivator throws a bone, he happily bites it off, even if it ends up causing him to be imprisoned for life.

I don't dare to say that there is absolutely no problem with the selection by myself, but the controllable system is much higher.

"In addition, the age and health of many courtiers have also arrived," Tang Derun opened the information, and there were circles on it, "There are many people who have taken a break in the past two years."

Xu Mochen understands that the connection of talents is imminent.

"I'm thinking about more than that," Xu Mochen sighed slightly, "Most of the current officials of the Great Cadres are actually from the scholar clan, and they are really children of the Han family, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if they want to leap into the sky."

He stood up and paced in the imperial study with his hands behind his back: "The scholar clan has the advantages of the scholar clan, but the disadvantage is that when the family is big, the things you think about are complicated, and it may not be the country that is considered, but me."

This is a very damning word, Tang Derun only felt that sweat was dripping on his head.

The emperor needs the support of the scholars, and he can protect the interests of the scholars in exchange for the stability of each other.

But the object of the loyalty of the Shi clan, saying that it is the great Qian, saying that it is the emperor, is more actually the interests of the clan.

In the case of the latter, they will not care about the change of dynasty and who will be the emperor.

In other words, the emperor of the dynasty in the eyes of the scholars is just a formal existence.

Such a foundation made Xu Mochen feel a backstab while dealing with immortal cultivators.

In addition, the members of the noble clan were basically opposed to the flow of reform.

Because it's easy to touch their interests.

Tang Derun pondered, the position of the emperor is really not something that ordinary people can sit in.

Xu Mochen didn't know what he was thinking, and still muttered to himself: "Talent selection can't be separated from the scholar group, because in this era, educational resources are concentrated in the hands of rich and noble families."

Helpless the fact that the poor have nothing to eat, who goes to school.

Knowledge resources, books, etc., all need money.

Most of the people are illiterate, a small part of them have a little bit of literacy, and those at the top are the children of the scholars.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun stole a glance at his face, "here, the situation is actually more complicated.

Above the scholars, there are also immortal cultivators."

"Immortal cultivator," Xu Mochen stopped and turned his head

frowned, "What's the matter with an immortal cultivator here?"

Aren't all those who participate in the imperial examination mortal?

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun tried to swallow his saliva, trying to state in a calm tone, "This entry into the court as an official still requires a little process, that is, to participate in the imperial examination.

For example, today's Prime Minister was one of the champions of the first emperor.

There are also six Jiuqing, most of whom have also come over like this."

Xu Mochen realized the problem, and he walked up to Tang Derun: "So Aiqing means that immortal cultivators will also participate in the imperial examination?"

Tang Derun nodded.

"In this case, wouldn't it be that most of the officials who were admitted would be immortal cultivators?" Xu Mochen was stunned.

"Your Majesty Shengming," Tang Derun was also helpless, "Immortal cultivators use their supernatural powers to learn, and their speed is naturally fast.

In addition, the books and classics that have been circulated in Middle-earth are actually the works of the immortal cultivators back then, with the seal of the law and binding the human race."

"How can it be?" Xu Mochen slapped the table with a slap, "What does Aiqing mean, this book knowledge has become a means for immortal cultivators to control mortals?"

That is, a blockade that belongs to the cultural sphere.

The books of ancient saints are all chosen by immortal cultivators, and they have been brainwashed by consciousness since childhood.

"Yes," Tang Derun replied stiffly, "So in fact, the students of the world, who say that they are protégés of the Son of Heaven, are actually the children of immortal cultivators.

However, some students, after entering the court, know that immortal cultivators exist, and there are also those who go to Your Majesty."

For example, the recently appointed Terran officials in several departments such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But those who don't know the truth are still close to the immortal cultivator officials and are controlled by them.

Xu Mochen always thought that if the human race did not resist, one was that he did not know the existence of immortal cultivators, and the other was that he could not be defeated.

But now he realizes that there is also the bonus of spiritual domination in this.

"What is the core of their main ideology?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Mochen asked again.

"Heaven and Earth Monarch!"

Hearing the answer, Xu Mo closed his eyes.

Heaven and earth are the king's own teachers, heaven and earth are naturally immortal cultivators who have the advantage, the king is the emperor, the emperor is the puppet, and they also have the final say.

There are relatives of the scholar clan, who knows if there are also immortal cultivators behind the scholar clan.

Finally, there is the teacher, and the immortal cultivator directly controls the mind from the source.

That is, in the cultural-spiritual realm, they controlled the Terrans.

"In the imperial examination, most of the top ones are immortal cultivators," Xu Mochen spat word by word, "A small part of the human race has also been brainwashed.

Some of the worst poor children are just taking it out and making a show.

I was elected to the court, and more than ninety percent of them were to make wedding dresses for immortal cultivators, isn't that the case?"

Tang Derun didn't dare to answer.

What he said is the truth, even if the final part falls to the emperor, compared with the number of all the officials of the Great Cadres, it is a drop in the bucket.

Xu Mochen suddenly laughed: "So one day, if an open conflict between the immortal cultivator and me really breaks out, there is no need for me to mobilize the Terrans, and the officials of the Terran will oppose me first?"

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun admonished, "this is a problem faced by all dynasties in ancient times.

Speaking of killing heads, the few Terran ministers selected by His Majesty also have their own thoughts."

They want power, and it just so happens that Xu Mochen can give it.

Maybe in their hearts, they also worked hard for the emperor and the human race.

Xu Mochen smiled, no wonder that so far, he has destroyed so many departments, and there are only a few scattered Terran ministers who support him.

The rest are either unaware or secretly opposed in their hearts, and they are not their own people.

In this case, what else is there to seek a dialogue with the immortal cultivators.

Just the internal problems of the human race, he actually has no way to solve them.

The project carried out by itself did not involve many officials, and this was carried out smoothly.

At this point, Xu Mochen understood and had an epiphany.

"Look at it this way," he laughed with a hint of self-deprecation, "the people say that I am obsessed with the harem, I haven't been in court for a long time, and I am a faint king.

The courtiers are all loyal and virtuous ministers, and they seem to be extremely dim.

Actually, they're right, I'm really stupid."

If he is the head, then the official is the organs of the limbs and the whole body, and now well, most of these organs do not belong to themselves.

Reform and promotion cannot be carried out thoroughly.

The imperial examination is entirely a system for immortal cultivators.

"Aiqing," Xu Mochen sat down slowly, his tone was very light, "If I am not wrong, the courtiers' twists and turns are all from the Imperial Court, no matter how you say it, it is the first time after the unification of the Great Cadres."

They all want to cut off the flow from the source and leave nothing to me."
