Faced with the emperor's questioning, Sima Xiao, the supervisor of Si Tian, did not dare to hide anything.

"Back to Your Majesty, this high Taoist chief and his disciples are temporarily living in Qingling Beppu, and Si Tianjian has already arranged everything."

The emperor's face did not change with joy, and he looked at the document in his hand again, and there were also descriptions of some mages on it.

I was too excited to see the words "alchemy" just now, and I will take a closer look, and there are even some that say that they can "fly to the sky and escape to the earth", some write that they can call the wind and rain, and some write that they can serve ghosts and gods.

This made the emperor's heart surge, and he only felt that even if the Heavenly Master didn't come, it would be nothing, and even if any of these were no worse than the Heavenly Master!

"Are these mages arranged?"

"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, and some room has been reserved, even if more mages come in the future, it can be arranged, and in this process, the ministers will also carefully observe and screen! Naturally, some of these indiscriminate people will also be removed from prison and imprisoned!"

The Emperor closed the paper and nodded in satisfaction.

"Sima Aiqing is really a capable minister, and it is really overkill to succumb to the little Si Tianjian!"

Looking at the afterglow of the sunset, Sima Xiao laughed at herself, everyone said that they were favored, but who understood that they were simply walking on thin ice?

"Although these Taoists don't know enough about court etiquette, if Your Majesty must see it, the ministers will naturally not dare to disobey it. When His Majesty wants to see him, the minister will send someone to pass them into the palace, but His Majesty should give some spare time, after all, many mages are tired of traveling."

Sima Xiao hurriedly said.

The Emperor smiled again.

Sima Xiao looked at the empty wine glass in a daze.

Sure enough, the emperor said something astonishing again.

"What if you only see one or two of them? For example, this Gao Hongqing and Gao Dao Chief, such as Master Liu, such as this Xiaoshan Three Sages, they are my great people, they should be fine when they see each other, right?"

"Yes, I, Sima Xiao, have no way out, I have angered the emperor, I don't need the emperor to do anything to me, the adults in the court can tear me apart."

Of course, Sima Xiao was also happy when he heard this, but it was more of pressure, the emperor's words sounded exciting, but if things didn't do well, he was afraid that he would have no way back.

Without any hesitation, Yu Ziye walked directly in the direction of Sima Xiao, and the latter also noticed the former and walked quickly.

Sima Xiao was a little embarrassed and glanced at Zhao Chaolin next to him, but the old eunuch obviously didn't want to speak.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials were also about to leave the official office and return to their homes one after another, some got on the carriage and horses, and some got into the sedan chair, Sima Xiao originally thought that he didn't want the officials of the Ministry of Officials to see him, after all, he didn't get a good face.

Although Si Tianjian has a lot of things to do now, Sima Xiao still didn't go back immediately when he left the palace, he thought about it again and again and went to the official office.

Yu Ziye raised his hand, looked at the direction of the gate of the ministry, and stretched out his hand to the side.

During the period of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, because the emperor was holy enough, eunuchs such as Zhang Liangxi and Liu Zhongquan could emerge who were capable and even had great responsibilities.

Anyway, many ministers in the court and the central government didn't shake Sima Xiao's face, so they could only ask Lord Yu.

"Good!"

Sima Xiao bowed, took a few steps back, and then slowly exited the imperial study.

Tomorrow morning? So fast?

"Your Majesty Xie's praise, what Weichen is thinking about now is only the Fa Appraisal Conference, just sharing his worries for His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to have any other superfluous thoughts!"

But apparently there is one person who is the exception.

"The minister understands His Majesty's concerns, but His Majesty's ninety-five venerable body is still not suitable to meet these mages who have come to Beijing immediately."

After thinking about it, Sima Xiao still said.

Even if Sima Xiao can think of some things, he won't dare to say it, and there is no need to "trouble" the emperor for some small things.

Although Yu Ziye's grade is much higher than Sima Xiao, the latter feels very relaxed in front of the former, and in the past few months, Sima Xiao has not even had anything to do with Yu Ziye, so it can only be said that he has met and met.

Yu Ziye smiled and poured a glass of wine for Sima Xiao, he knew that with Sima Xiao's cautious nature, this was already equivalent to scolding his mother.

Sima Xiao was about to get the wine jug, but was held down by Yu Ziye, the former looked at the latter in shock, but saw the latter shake his head and said.

Yu Ziye came out of the official office of the official department, and his eyes swept over the carriages and horses of his colleagues who were about to return home, but he immediately found Sima Xiao on the side of the road outside, about ten zhang away from the official department.

"By the way, Sima Aiqing, how are the preparations for the Fa Appraisal Conference, does Si Tianjian have a charter?"

Yu Ziye saluted first, and Sima Xiao hurriedly returned the salute.

The emperor thought of something when he said it, and the smile on his face was even worse, Sima Xiao saw the emperor's smile and his back was damp, which one did the emperor think of?

"Thank you to the emperor for remembering, the ministers must pay attention, and they dare not forget the holy decree, and the ministers will retire first!"

"Oh? Sima Aiqing elaborated."

Sima Xiao's heart sank, and he hurriedly spoke.

The emperor will be in a good mood, and he has a feeling that the gods and goddesses will be used for themselves, and suddenly he thought of something and opened his mouth again.

"In this way, in the Fa Appraisal Conference, each mage can choose whether to participate or not, and explain the reason, in addition to Si Tianjian screening, it will also be sent to my side, and if the reason is really sufficient, you can agree!"

The two touched another cup and drank it all up, Yu Ziye was more of a listening role today, and he said leisurely at this moment.

"Yes, I see!"

"Sima Aiqing should also pay attention to his body, don't get tired, and don't forget to bring the mage into the palace tomorrow!"

"What if the widow wants to see these mages?"

"Back to Your Majesty, these mages come from all over the world, and some even come from foreign countries, not from this dynasty, there are indeed many of them who have the ability, but they are also mixed, and Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and your words and deeds affect all the people in the world, not to mention Your Majesty's safety, so I think it's best not to move lightly."

The emperor frowned slightly, opened the paperwork again, and looked at it.

The emperor has made up his mind, Sima Xiao opened his mouth, after all, he didn't dare to say anything, how many ministers in the past few months have learned from the past, so many people can't persuade the emperor, how dare Sima Xiao himself, he can only bow down and receive his orders.

Sima Xiao glanced at the emperor, hesitated for a moment and continued.

And now by the emperor's side, the close eunuchs of course take Mingzhe's protection as the first priority.

"However, the world's talented people gather in the capital, and the so-called Fa Appreciation Conference should also be happy with the people, since it is like the imperial examination, it can't just be like liberal arts and not like martial arts, how about adding some fighting methods appropriately?"

"Weichen doesn't dare to take it lightly at any time, Your Majesty is right, it is indeed very similar to the imperial examination, it is divided into categories and carefully separated, and the full number of people will be eliminated!"

"It's just to find Lord Yu, Xia Guan just came out of the imperial study, and some things are true."

"Master Sima, are you here to find Yu?"

"Well, Aiqing has anything else to do?"

The emperor nodded, looking at the tiredness on Sima Xiao's face, and rarely cared.

After saying a lot, Sima Xiao didn't dare to say a shortcoming of the emperor, so he could only say helplessly.

"Okay, I know that Si Tianjian has had a lot of things recently, and the New Year is coming, and the Fa Appraisal Conference can't be delayed, so it's decided!"

"Well, that's right."

When he arrived outside the imperial study, it was already close to dusk, and Sima Xiao once again felt that his inner shirt was damp, and he felt extremely cold when the cold wind blew outside.

"What Your Majesty said naturally makes sense, but some mages put virtue and law first, and each has its own subtleties, such as Gao Dao Chang, a Dan Dao mage, maybe he has devoted his whole life to Dan Fa, and he is not good at fighting with others."

After deep friendship, I realized that some criticism in the DPRK was unfair to Lord Yu, but of course these Sima Xiao were just thinking about it.

Sima Xiao is now extremely favored, and some ministers in the court think that he is even more favored than Yu Ziye, which is indeed well-founded, and he refuted the emperor's words, but the latter is still pleasant.

"Alas, this Dharma appraisal conference is really difficult

Although Your Majesty is holy, after all, he is in the clouds, and he doesn't see the suffering of all sentient beings such as me."

Sima Xiao looked up at the emperor, hesitated but didn't dare to refute directly.

"Well, go ahead!"

"I'd love to see you sooner, but I shouldn't be in a hurry, I think it's just tomorrow morning!"

Yu Ziye personally sent Sima Xiao out of the house, and the latter didn't drink too much, so naturally it didn't affect his own affairs.

"Master Sima, I've drunk enough, don't miss the emperor's business, you and I will get together another day!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands in Chinese.

Both of them are regarded as the emperor's favorite ministers in the eyes of court officials, and they went to Yu Ziye's house in the same car.

However, it is obvious that Sima Xiao is too careful, he is still a short distance from the official department, and he came on foot, and the officials of the ministry go their own way, and few people pay attention to him who walks alone to the yamen of the ministry.

"Back to Your Majesty, three venues have been preset, respectively in Lingyuan Temple, Tianxuguan and Jingshi Sacrifice Temple of Heaven, with the four disciplines of science, magic, rituals, and utility as the key points, respectively, to identify the skills of many mages, and under the four outlines, they are subdivided into twelve departments, each of which is carefully examined by the officials of the Heavenly Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites. Among them, the rituals are divided into mass sacrifices and solitary sacrifices, and the spells are divided into manifest and non-manifest."

"Good!"

"No, the minister still has a lot of official business to do, so he will retire!"

"This is true, like Gao Daochang, naturally needs special treatment, alchemy does need to be distracted, those mages with special abilities can also be reported to the Heavenly Supervisor, excluded from the fighting method, but it needs to be more strictly screened."

"And if I don't see it now, I will see it sooner or later, so I won't see these mages until the day of the new yearbook, right?"

Zhao Chaolin, the old eunuch in the imperial study, couldn't help but speak.

"Obey!"

"Sima Aiqing, it seems that these mages are assessed separately, it sounds more like the imperial examination, and it is really hard to be able to divide them so carefully."

Sima Xiao was slightly stunned, but she didn't dare to refute, so she could only respond.

"Yes, yes, what Master Sima said is very true."

Sima Xiao wanted to ask Yu Ziye for advice, and he also had Yu Ziye's credit for the constitution of the Fa Appraisal Conference before, and he also wanted to talk to Lord Yu about the emperor's attitude today.

"Lord Sima, Yu knows that you are difficult, but now, the emperor's will cannot be violated. Now everyone in the court regards you as a courtier, or even a female cadre who bewitches the emperor, and you have no way out."

Sima Xiao understood this.

The emperor seems to be euphemistic, but in fact, it is up to him to decide, it doesn't matter whether the mages choose to fight or not, Si Tianjian's opinion is just a reference, the key is that the emperor thinks you should fight or not.

About half an hour later, Seiryei Beppu.

The Emperor nodded, a smile on his face.

"Master Sima, let's go over there, it's just the right time, go to my side for a drink, and talk as we go!"

Sima Xiao said a lot, some emperors can listen to a half-understanding, and some don't understand at all, but he doesn't need to understand them all, he probably already has an idea in his heart, as soon as he raised his hand, Sima Xiao immediately stopped talking.

For Yu Ziye, it is very important to know that Sima Xiao is not a real minister, and at the same time understand Sima Xiao's difficulties, so he is willing to listen to Sima Xiao's suffering and help some, even if these things will inevitably be known by the Son of Heaven, and even now the Son of Heaven knows.

The old Taoist and the disciples received a special summons from Si Tianjian that the emperor wanted to see them, which undoubtedly made the Taoists excited and nervous.

And there are several other places that have also received the news, and they are all mages who have arranged the residence of the mansion alone.
