Chapter 168

Those who disrupt order and law, whether they are human beings, demons or immortals, cannot be tolerated in the world.

So, after five years, the world was at peace.

Affected by the water of the Tianhe River at that time, most areas in the world had their own spiritual energy, and many people were cured of all diseases. Even if natural disasters occasionally occur in some places, or demons cause trouble, they should be reported to the Feng Gong Department. After verification, an "immortal master" will take action to kill the demons and quell the natural disaster.

And the humane legal net expanded to deeper and deeper places, even the corners of the countryside that had been difficult to reach by the imperial power in the past were covered, and the imperial court's rule was greatly strengthened.

Living in the palace, the emperor can also know through the changes and turbulence of human destiny, which corners of the world people are uneasy about, and he can pin the blame on the ministers, who in turn hold them accountable.

In this way, even the villagers in remote areas like them know that everything is up to heaven and they no longer have to be exploited by powerful landlords. With good weather and good harvests year after year, many people's lives have become easier without even realizing it. Everyone is starting to think about sending their children to school.

In the open space of the village, everyone gathered together and talked about sending their children to school. Everyone became energetic and had a lot of fun talking.

"I think the newly opened private school in the county is good."

"No, no, no, it's better to go to Master Li's place. Although it's a bit more expensive, Master Li was a retired official who had won the Jinshi Scholarship and served as a fifth-rank official."

"I think I should choose Mrs. Wang..."

The traveling merchant was indeed well-informed, so he said at this time: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I wonder if you have heard the news that the imperial court is planning to build academies all over the world."

When the others heard this, they all shook their heads and even said they didn't know. They all begged him to tell him the news.

Youshang accepted the compliments calmly and coughed lightly: "This matter is not complicated. The first academy has been built in the capital, with the Imperial Master as the mountain director."

Others were surprised: "Master National Master serves as the mountain chief? Is this academy going to teach immortals?"

"You don't understand this. The Imperial Master also won the top prize back then. With his knowledge, he is more than enough to serve as the mountain chief, not to mention it is just in name." You Shang shook his head and continued, "It is said that ‌Soon Academies must be built in all states, prefectures and counties to admit school-age students. The cost is not high and ordinary people can afford them. However, the assessment of academies is extremely strict. If students neglect their studies, they will be dismissed and let others Find somewhere else.”

But this is the truth. The threshold of this academy is not high. It is an opportunity given by the imperial court to ordinary people to get ahead. The imperial court has subsidized it. If they do not cherish it, the imperial court will not give them this opportunity. ‌The resources saved are used on people who are willing to cherish them.

Everyone was very excited when they heard the news from Youshang. There was an impatient person who pinched the child's ears on the spot and shouted: "Did you hear that? This is a big deal. It's a good thing that the imperial court has given you the opportunity to study in the academy. You will start going home today to review and memorize the few books you have read..."

The child whose ears were screwed was dumbfounded and shouted loudly: "Oh, dad, whenever I need to review, I can only write my own name, Li Goudan - ow!" Before he could finish his words, buttocks He had been slapped and immediately screamed in pain.

Everyone burst into laughter immediately, and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful.

A local dog ran through the lively crowd with joy, followed by a lively crowd, with smiles on the faces of young and old, and the occasional cry of children.

Further away, there is traffic on the road, green houses with red tiles are in order, smoke is curling from the kitchen stoves, and the continuous mountains in the distance have been washed by the rain and become blue, as if they are connected with the blue sky.

On study tours, students passing by here couldn't help but stop, almost taking out their paintbrushes and splashing ink on the spot.

"... His yellow hair hangs down, and he is contented with himself. It is like an old dream of Taoyuan, and the prosperous age of the world."

At this moment, a child with a mark on his butt ran towards him rashly, knocking the student's body sideways, causing him to tilt to the side involuntarily and frowning slightly. Eyebrow looked over.

I saw that the child had already rushed out of the village entrance, and almost ran into an ox cart. Fortunately, the ox cart stopped in time.

On top of the bullock cart, a figure dressed in green clothes slightly appeared, with a side face with clear and neat lines that looked like a painting.

His hair is like crow feathers, his pupils are like dark ink, and his grace is so majestic that he is almost like a celestial being.

The distant mountains dimmed in color against his backdrop.

The student stood there blankly, eager to make friends, and was hesitating whether to step forward, when he saw the celestial figure without hesitation stretched out a hand and grabbed a ring on the child's head. ‌Little one.

He also confiscated a piece of candy from the child like a bully and a bandit, and used it as compensation for his mental losses when he was almost hit.

"...be careful next time."

A hateful smile formed on his picturesque face.

"Wow--!"

The child cried, and the student looked confused.

But the bullock cart has already gone away amidst the accompaniment of crying.

A little squirrel lay on the man's shoulder and looked back. Its round eyes were lively and alert, and it yawned slightly.

The bullock cart disappeared in the rain and fog in an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion, with a strong sense of unreality.

Only the child's messed up little hands and the wet tears on his face proved everything just now.

The other people in the village knew nothing about this, and were still discussing the affairs of the academy, sighing: "It is said that this was also initiated by the National Preceptor. I really don't know what a person like the National Preceptor should be like." What a style!”

...Well, if they knew that the Imperial Master would even snatch candy from children, and how exciting it would be to bully children, they would probably be disillusioned on the spot :)

Chapter 144: Exploring the Flower [Extra 2]

"The list is released, the list is released!"

With the sound of firecrackers, the gate of Gongyuan was immediately blocked. A group of scholars rubbed shoulders and looked at each other, showing no trace of their usual demeanor. I just want to see if my name is recorded on that apricot list.

In the restaurant opposite the Gongyuan, which is also the largest and most luxurious No. 1 Scholar building in the capital, a father and son looked over through the window. One big and one small looked alike. They were both wearing dark black clothes. Their looks were quite majestic and impressive. Extraordinary birth.

The man is about thirty or so, with a little hair. If you look closely, you will find that this is Emperor Ji Yun who has lost a lot of weight.

The child following him was the current prince Ji Chen.

He looked to be only eight or nine years old. His little face, which was slightly baby-fat, was serious. His thick black hair was tied up high, revealing a broad forehead. His eyes were very lively. He was so young. The discipline and temperament are already good.

However, seeing the crowd below, a group of students were squeezing around to see the results. Some even had their hair loose and their shoes knocked off, looking extremely embarrassed. He couldn't help but open his mouth in shock, his face Showing a bit of a childish expression.

"Father, they, they are..."

"What's the point? After ten years of hard work, it's so hard to get a gold medal! It's only human nature for them to be so eager." The emperor waved his hands slightly disapprovingly, "Aren't all your great tutors going through this? Come."

The little boy's eyes became even wider.

In the education that Prince Ji Chen received since he was a child, he never thought that the highly respected gentlemen in the past would have such a day.

At this moment, he saw his father raising his hand to wave downstairs, with a casual gesture, like a kind elder greeting his nephew next door: "Little Shi, come this way."

Ji Chen looked intently and saw a beautiful, girl-like young man in civilian clothes squeezing out of the crowd, his hair and clothes not half disheveled. When he heard the emperor's greeting, his eyes lit up and he boarded the No. 1 Scholar Building.

When the young man arrived in front of him, Ji Chen's eyebrows skipped a beat.

As a prince, he has the protection of Tao Qi and luck, and he is in the capital, a place where dragon veins gather. He has invisible Qi and luck intertwined around him. As soon as this young man comes closer, the Qi around him is... Luck was slightly turbulent, and even if Ji Chen couldn't see it, he could feel it out of thin air.

"...Is it demonic energy? Is this the demon clan's transformation?"

He suddenly understood and looked extremely surprised. ◢思◢Rabbit◢online◢read◢read◢

"Could this be the demon clan from the academy?"

He knows that with today's human destiny, as long as he is willing to abide by the order of humanity, there is no difference between demons and humans, and he can even take the imperial examination.

In the world, only the academy can teach all monsters. However, after most of the monsters learn to read and write, they are more willing to go to the Taoist academy to practice. Even if his father allows the monsters to take the imperial examination, he has never seen it. But there are really demons involved.

Surprised, he couldn't help but carefully examine the young man in front of him.

He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was handsome, with red eyes, and looked weak. At this time, he had already started talking to Ji Yun. It seemed that the two of them had known each other for a long time and were no strangers to each other.

Ji Yun smiled and asked: "Xiao Shi, you stopped at the national examination the first two times, saying that your results in the provincial examination were too poor, and you have to study for two more years and take the test again. I don't know what your results will be this time?"

The boy known as Xiao Shi sighed sadly with a sad look on his eyebrows: "I only got third place in the general examination."

Ji Chen was a little surprised. To be able to win third place among so many students was already quite remarkable. What's more, this person was still a monster incarnate, so he wasn't satisfied yet?

But Ji Yun seemed to understand what was going on, and looked at the sad-faced young man sympathetically: "I wonder if you are confident that you can win the top spot in the palace examination?"

"Little Ten" spread his hands, suddenly looked at him, his eyes were bright, and he said in a consultative tone: "If Your Majesty is willing to help a little, the position of No. 1 Scholar will be within your reach."

Ji Chen was stunned.

...Is this a back door for the emperor? His father is not that kind of person!

Ever since he could remember, he had seen that his father had always been diligent in political affairs and never slacked off day by day. Many civil and military ministers praised him, and even compared his father with the founding ancestor of the country.

Sure enough, the emperor shook his head resolutely: "No. I have heard about your experience. Although I feel a little sympathy, I cannot mess with the court's laws and regulations because of it. Just rely on your ability. If you can take the third place in the examination, you can get the number one scholar. Not difficult.”

The young man immediately left in disappointment, his whole body aura was extremely desolate. Seeing that the corners of the emperor's lips could barely resist turning up, he finally suppressed them and coughed.

Ji Chen was extremely puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Father, why does this young master have to get the top prize?"

"...It's not that he wants to take the first place exam, it's the Imperial Master who forces him to take the first place exam." The emperor couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the Imperial Master built the academy and he first saw this nest of rabbits. "As for the reason, it is said that someone couldn't control his mouth and believed that the third place was just so-so, and the first place was worth seeing."

After saying this, the emperor hurriedly looked around: "Well, these are all jokes. The Imperial Master is broad-minded, how could he be so petty and calculative? He just feels guilty."

"It must be that he feels guilty." Ji Chen nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much. He had a good impression of the immortal Imperial Master, so he didn't believe this slander.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fist: "...Father, you refused well! How can we allow opportunism in national affairs!"

The emperor immediately showed twelve points of seriousness and majesty, as if he really thought like his son said.

...When the emperor thought of the little rabbit studying hard, but failed to pass the imperial examination for three years and three years, and might have to study until he was bald, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Why did he think so? It was because he owed a large debt to the imperial teacher and that's how he got here! He was happy to see someone bald like him:)

The simple prince obviously didn't know the "sinister" thoughts in the emperor's mind, and was looking at his father, who was tall, majestic, and wise in his heart, with an admiring expression.

The emperor's expression suddenly became more solemn, and he also
