The entire Tai Academy was silent, and no sound could be heard.
Emperor Yanfeng obviously expressed his feelings. He wanted to take this opportunity to frighten the officials, and he also wanted to unite the hearts of the emperor and the ministers so that the emperor and the ministers could be one.
After a while, Emperor Yanfeng smiled and sat down again: "I lost my composure. Guozijian, get the roster."
Taoist Lingyun quickly stepped forward with the roster in his hand. Emperor Yanfeng picked up the ink pen and wrote a few words behind Qin Mu's name, saying: "From now on, he will be the disciple of the Son of Heaven." After finishing speaking, close the roster and return it to Qin Mu. Taoist Lingyun.
Emperor Yanfeng looked at the young patriarch, and said: "It's your responsibility to select scholars for the great sacrifice, but Zhen Yuezu chose for you, what do you think?"
The young patriarch said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a sage, with great talent and great strategy, which is a great blessing for Daxu."
Emperor Yanfeng laughed loudly and shook his head again and again: "Putting up, flattering me again. Alright, let the scholars continue the competition."
The Imperial College's Imperial College issued an order to allow many scholars to continue the competition. There are still a few elementary school scholars who have not finished their exams, and they are also taking the unified exam in front of the Taixue Hall, and Taoist Lingyun is still the master of the exam.
Even if Taoist Lingyun wanted to release water to the children of those dignitaries, there was nothing he could do. After all, those present are all sharp-eyed strong men, if he makes a move, he will be seen through!
This big exam didn't come to an end until the afternoon. Some people were happy and some were sad, especially the university scholars. The competition was even more cruel and harsh. Being able to enter the Tai Academy can be said to be one in a hundred!
Among the elementary school scholars, there were only five places left, and those from famous families were more knowledgeable than those from poor families. Among these five scholars, only Si Yunxiang passed the big exam and became a scholar of the Imperial College.
The other four were all from famous families.
It's not that poor scholars don't work hard, but that resources are limited.
Elementary schools and colleges teach the same martial arts, spells and swordsmanship. No matter how well they practice, they cannot break through this barrier. In addition to practicing what is taught by elementary schools and universities, famous families also have unique skills handed down by their own families, ancestors, and sects. , and there are experts in the family to give advice, so the proportion of poor students is not high.
Qin Mu saw it, and said in his heart: "If things go on like this, I'm afraid that the high-level officials of Yankang Kingdom will eventually be controlled by famous families and sects, and the disciples of poor families will never have a bright future, and it is impossible to be high in the court. So First, the country will not last long. Emperor Yanfeng has the heart to change, I wonder if this situation can be changed?"
In this case, the ruler will always be the ruler, and the classes will solidify, and there will inevitably be certain forces among the rulers who will become bigger, bigger and bigger, with more and more resources, and will eventually become a cancer of the empire.
When the humble scholars revolted, the malignant tumor took the opportunity to make waves, and the collapse of the empire was only a matter of days and nights.
After the final exam, the Imperial College arranged a domicile, but anyone who became an imperial scholar would have his own separate domicile in the Imperial Academy. This is called the residence of scholars. It is the place where scholars live. Every scholar has a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The scholars of Taixue live in their own residences on weekdays. There are everything in the residence, and there are servants to help open the courtyard. Taking care of housework, cooking and laundry can save scholars from worrying about trivial matters in life.
If it is someone with status, they can also bring their own servants or maids. Qin Mu has nothing, so naturally he does not have these trivial matters.
"I don't know if I can bring Hu Ling'er here too? After the arrangements here are settled and I have seen the Patriarch, I will go and bring her here."
Qin Mu looked around, and found that the Yufeng where the Taixue Academy was located was much larger than what he had seen. There were mountains in the mountains and caves in the caves. In addition to the Chunyang Hall, Qingyang Hall and Taixue Hall, there were also forests There are more than a dozen palaces and Tianlu Tower.
The Tianlu Building is a place for collecting books. There is a secretarial supervisor. As the name suggests, the word secretary is a book that keeps secrets.
Qin Mu stopped to watch, and saw people coming and going in the Tianlu Building, bustling with people, most of them were scholars from the Imperial Academy, and some were from the royal family.
"Young Master has come all the way, how does it feel to be here?"
An old voice came from behind him, Qin Mu turned around, bowed in salute, and said, "Patriarch."
The person who came was the young Patriarch, although he looked young, but his voice was very old, he said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite."
Qin Mu regained his composure and said, "I've been walking all the way, and seeing the situation in Yankang Kingdom has shocked me a lot, and I feel quite uneasy."
The young patriarch became interested and stepped forward: "Oh, let's hear it."
Qin Mu followed his footsteps, talking while walking, and said: "I walked and watched all the way, and I saw signs of great prosperity up and down the Yankang Kingdom. Taoism and supernatural powers are used by the people every day, and they are changing with each passing day. Drought and rain, floods and clouds, It is almost a miracle. There are spaceships in the sky, boats on the ground, alchemy is also applied to the daily life of the people, and the fortune is miraculous. Although there is turmoil in the Yankang Kingdom, it will not last long, and then it will be extremely strong!"
The young patriarch took him to a lake on the mountain. Standing by the lake, the lake was shaded by jade willows, and asked curiously, "Which one do you think is more promising, the sect or the country? According to you, you believe that the sect cannot be an enemy of the country." ?”
Qin Mu nodded, and said: "Primary University and Taixue have confirmed that Yankang Kingdom is the biggest sect in the world, and other sects are all elementary schools and universities of this sect, just providing scholars for Yankang Kingdom. How can these sects Compete with Yankang country?"
The young patriarch sat down, and there were two sets of fishing rods on the bank. He gave Qin Mu one and himself one, threw the bait into the water, and said with a smile, "But today there is great chaos, many sects took the opportunity to rebel, sparks start a prairie fire, and Yankang Guoshi suffered serious injuries, I think Yankang country is in danger, and the country may be destroyed at any time!"
Qin Mu also threw the fishing line and bait into the water, and said with a dumbfounded smile: "Patriarch, are you lying to me? Yankang Guoshi is nothing more than playing hard to get, and wants to take the opportunity to wipe out all the opposing forces in the world. I can't hide this from me, and naturally I can't hide it. Patriarch."
The young patriarch looked at the lake with a calm expression, and said after a while: "It's not just playing hard to get, you've also missed a trick. Yankang Guoshi was indeed seriously injured, and his injury was serious. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deceive all schools and sects in the world."
Qin Mu was taken aback, and lost his voice, "Did Master Yankang do it himself?"
The young patriarch shook his head: "The one who did it was someone else. It is said that three old monsters of the same age as me shot him together and severely injured him. I saw him after he returned to Beijing, and his injuries were indeed serious."
Qin Mu was stunned. He always thought that Yankang Guoshi used the means of playing hard to get to lure the opposition forces to take action, but he didn't expect Yankang Guoshi was really injured.
"He will do whatever he can to lure these people out."
The young patriarch said calmly: "If these sects think that they can get rid of Yankang Guoshi and destroy Yankang Kingdom, I'm afraid they will suffer a loss. Young leader, what do you think of Yankang Guoshi?"
Qin Mu said solemnly: "He is a hero among men, with a broad mind and an unrivaled talent."
The young patriarch showed a smile: "When he came to ask me about it, I thought so too. I originally wanted to accept him as a disciple, but his talents and learning were vast, and he was already vaguely surpassing me, so I dismissed this idea to avoid delay. His future. Then, since the Yankang Kingdom is superior to all sects and sects in the world, and it is invincible, and the Yankang National Master is a rare talent, how should my holy religion deal with itself?"
In his words, there is the meaning of exams.
Ever since he saw Qin Mu's first words this time, he began to test Qin Mu.
Qin Mu participated in the Grand Examination of the Taiyuan Academy and became a Taixue scholar of the Taiyuan Academy. It was only the first test, which tested his strength. But now, it is to test his wisdom, whether he has the wisdom to control the Tianmo Sect, and whether he has the wisdom to become the leader.
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, and said, "There are two paths for my holy religion. One way is to turn religion into a country and let the holy religion establish a country. When I build a country with holy religion, I must stay away from Yankang. After the division quells the chaos, it will inevitably use troops abroad. At home, it cannot compete with Yankang Kingdom, and the distance is too close, and it cannot compete with Yankang Kingdom. But if we stay away from Yankang, the foundation of my holy religion will not exist. It’s hard to get better every year.”
The young patriarch nodded and said: "The first road is extremely difficult. Our holy religion is based on the common people in the market. If we leave Yankang, our foundation will be damaged. This road is not advisable. What about the second road?"
"The second way is attachment."
Qin Mu said: "The Holy Cult is attached to the Yankang Kingdom."
The face of the young patriarch changed slightly, and he said with a sneer, "As the leader, you want me to exterminate the Holy Cult? You are so brave, I will kill your head!"
Note: The secretary is not a foreign word, but an ancient official position. The secretary supervisor is responsible for guarding the royal collection. It was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the position similar to the secretary supervisor originated earlier, in the Zhou Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng worked as a secretary and supervisor. The official position system adopted by Mu Shen Ji is the nine-rank and eighteen-rank system of the Tang Dynasty.
