The prince was secretly wary and frowned. He raised his hands to signal everyone to quiet down. After everyone was quiet, he cupped his hands in the direction of Shenjing and said loudly: "The sole emperor oversees the country, Mu Shou. In all directions, we rely on His Majesty’s sage and wisdom to govern the country. All officials should remember the Emperor’s great kindness, be loyal to the country, and serve the people. Do not make mistakes or mislead others, so as not to poison one party and harm the country and the people. Those who serve the people should remember that the Emperor is wise and wise. To serve the country, don’t let yourself down, lest you waste your life accomplishing nothing!”
"Today, the emperor is rescuing Taiyang. Please do not panic or panic, otherwise it will lead to disaster and make matters worse! I promise you that we will never let anyone starve to death or freeze to death! When the water recedes, we will arrange for everyone to return to work again. Return home and help everyone rebuild their homes! As for the governor, I will give an explanation to the people and the world!"
The common people couldn't quite understand what the first half of the prince's words meant, but they understood the second half. They excitedly shouted once again: "Long live the prince, long live the prince!!"
The prince immediately bowed loudly in the direction of Shenjing and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The surrounding officials were all old-timers, and they all bowed down and shouted loudly. They soon infected the surrounding people, and they imitated them one after another, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Shenjing, and shouted: " Long live my emperor, long live long live!"
The people were naive and blindly followed. They followed whatever the prince said, but they never thought carefully about why Daqi, which is known as the most powerful country in history, has become like this now.
Officials have a clear conscience, so they naturally know what kind of person the current emperor of Da Qi is. He has been in power for decades, including more than thirty years without attending the imperial court. At the beginning, he doted on Concubine Yan, ruined the dragon body, and almost... He died and later recuperated, but when he was nearly 8 years old, he met the stunningly beautiful Concubine Ming, who brought disaster to the country and the people. From then on, the king did not go to court early and had three thousand beauties in the harem. Being obedient and obedient, his laziness and depravity in politics caused slack among officials and corruption among officials. The extremely powerful Daqi began to decline rapidly.
If such an emperor were wise, he would really laugh his head off!
But you can only think about this kind of thing in your heart, and never say it out loud, otherwise your head will be in danger, and even the lives of your family will be in danger.
Although the prince has a strong literary spirit and is an idealist, after all, he has been crawling around in the palace for many years. This ability of telling lies with his eyes open has long been practiced to perfection. Except for myself who didn’t believe it, everyone else believed it.
After the prince finished his superficial work, he turned his head and glared at the prefect Li Tian, who had already collapsed on the ground and was wet all over. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said, "Here comes someone!"
General Zeng Shen next to him immediately took a step forward in a very dogged manner: "The general is here!"
The prince stared at Taishou Li and said through gritted teeth: "Keep him alone!"
General Zeng Shen glanced at Prefect Li covertly, feeling secretly sympathetic. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Taishou Li was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff. He screamed like a slaughtering pig. He turned and screamed at the sly-eyed master who was trying his best to do damage: "Ji Chen, help me, Ji Chen, help me!"
The master named Ji Chen rolled his eyes, suddenly took a step forward, and said loudly: "Wait a minute!!"
The prince himself is handsome and has a "human appearance". Although his appearance is not as beautiful as Zhao Xiaobao's, nor as heroic as Li Chengfeng's, he has a majestic face and strong facial features, which makes people feel warm at first sight. Respect, the people around me, whether it is the little girl Zhao Feiyue who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, or the fourth prince who turned against her, they are all beautiful. Even if the fourth prince has lost his appearance, he is still a handsome man with strange charm.
Coupled with the unique aesthetic culture of looking at faces in the officialdom, how could a person like him be able to like the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked, and rat-like master in front of him
The prince looked sideways at the master, as if he felt that even looking at this person for a second time would be a humiliation to himself. He suppressed his anger and disgust and sneered: "Who are you!?"
Ji Chen shook his long robe, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thirteen students from the A-list in the 21st year of Tianqi have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince was stunned and looked at Ji Chen in astonishment. He could not have imagined that the extremely ugly and ugly man in front of him was actually the thirteenth Jinshi in the first rank!
He asked in confusion and shock: "Are you thirteen on the A-list?"
Ji Chen nodded and said, "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"
The prince asked suspiciously: "Then why did you surrender and become a master?"
The assessment and selection in the spiritual world has now been extended to once every ten years, which can be said to be one in a million. Similarly, the imperial examination is also held every three years, which can be said to be thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
Those who think they are not qualified to become monks will study hard in order to get ahead.
The territory of Daqi is extremely vast, and the splendor of culture and education is spread all over the world. There are only three ways to advance in the world. One is to become a first-class monk who escapes reincarnation and is not involved in the five elements. The second is to be inferior in everything but to be a second-class scribe with good study. The third is to gain fame. Go straight to the sword and become a third-class warrior.
Every time there is a major national imperial examination, there are no less than a million people rushing to take the exam. From the childhood examination to the provincial examination, from the provincial examination to the national examination, from the national examination to the palace examination, it is not just the six generals who have passed the five stages along the way, but there are millions of competitions. By!
The thirteenth person on the A list seems to be only the thirteenth. Maybe a person who reaches this rank means that he has defeated millions of students who took the scientific examination in the same year, and can be called the best among the best students in the world.
Such a person will be released to guard the side in the future. Why did he only become the most unworthy master
Ji Chen's face darkened, and he said: "Just because the student is ugly, he is not suitable to be an official..."
The prince suddenly realized that after high school, 90% of these Jinshi would not be released immediately to become officials. Instead, most of them would work as Hanlin or assistant teachers in the Hanlin Academy or Guozixue. If they were lucky, they would be able to enter the Yushitai and become a strong shoulder to bear moral responsibility. The censorship of the Spring and Autumn Period is wonderfully written, but most of it is idle there, waiting for a vacancy, either wasting his life or immersed in studying.
Ji Chen was working as a teaching assistant in Guozixue. He felt that he had no talent, but could only spend his life learning in this small place. Naturally, he was constantly complaining.
But other people are also struggling here, and some even endured it for more than ten years without getting a chance. Naturally, they don't like this ugly guy who complains about everything all day long.
They privately criticized Ji Chen in all kinds of ways, and these rumors reached the ears of the chief officer. The chief officer, who was displeased with his ugly face, found an excuse and kicked him out.
Being kicked out of Guozixue was equivalent to being expelled from the school. Ji Chen's reputation was instantly ruined, and his career as an official was ruined. He could not carry his shoulders or lift his hands, so he could only condescend to be a master. .
The prince glanced at Ji Chen. Although he was quite sympathetic, he still felt unhappy when he saw this face. He suppressed his displeasure and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Ji Chen calmed down and quickly glanced at Li Tian. He knew that this was the most important moment in his life. Whether he would join the prince or the fourth prince in the future, it would all depend on his subsequent performance.
Ji Chen said: "Your Highness, it is not appropriate to punish the prefect at the moment!"
The people around him took a breath of air, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ji Chen.
Didn't see it! How dare this sly-looking guy dare to speak to the prince like this
The prince was furious, but he was extremely well-educated. He was furious in his heart, but his face was calm. He said, "I don't need your advice!"
Ji Chen lowered his head and tried his best to prevent the prince from seeing his face. He said: "Your Highness, at this very moment, it is not appropriate for anyone to touch the prefect!"
The prince suppressed his anger and asked calmly: "Oh? What is your opinion?"
Ji Chen glanced around but said nothing. The prince immediately understood and said, "Come with me!"
The prince took Ji Chen to the prefect's mansion. Since he was here, he naturally commandeered the prefect's mansion temporarily. General Zeng Shen watched the prefect and followed him all the way, carefully protecting the prince. The other officials began to make arrangements and arrangements. Evacuate the victims and people in the city and provide disaster relief and compensation.
It wasn't until he entered the back room that the prince retreated and said, "What do you want to say?"
Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "Prince, you know that the prefect Li Tian... is the prince's man! Now punishing the prefect, the prince is tantamount to giving others a handle, which is tantamount to annihilating himself from the world!"
Even though the prince was in a deep state, he was also shocked: "What? This guy is Gu's son? How come Gu doesn't know?"
Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "Prefect Li Tian has made up for the vacancy. The official he paid for was bought from Zuo Shilang, the official subordinate to the prince. The prince will know this as soon as he investigates!"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and he fell down on the chair behind him, with an expression of indescribable grief and grief.
Daqi is already rotten to this extent!
Even his subordinates, the important ministers he regards as humerus, are selling their positions to gain titles!
If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country!
While the prince was grieving here, on the other side, Su Yuehan held a small bamboo and followed the flow of people into Taiyang City in an orderly manner. Behind her, there was a crowd of more than a hundred meters, including Li Chengfeng and Li Chengfeng in disguise. Zhao Feiyue also followed into the city.
None of them knew what kind of storm was about to sweep over them.
