The Great Wei Kyoto, which had been calm for some time.
Once again, it was disturbed.
And this time, it was once again the Zhu Sheng lineage.
Outside the Palace of the King of Peace and Chaos.
A great scholar stood quietly outside the royal palace, holding an invitation.
He was a great scholar of the Zhu Sheng lineage, named Zhang Ye, and a former great scholar of Great Wei.
Now that he had returned to Great Wei again, Zhang Ye had not expected to be so quick.
But this time, when he returned to Great Wei again, Zhang Ye did not come as a great scholar, but as an amba*sador.
Being in the Palace of Literature, he knew better than everyone what cards the Palace possessed now.
It was highly likely that the Vermilion Saint would be revived.
He would reappear on earth and sweep away all enemies.
Although there were already rumours in the world, to the people of the world, this was not very credible, reviving the Vermilion Saint, which was almost impossible.
But the great scholars within the Palace of Literature believed it beyond belief, for they had seen the true spirit of the Vermilion Saint with their own eyes.
Now that the wooden medallion was enshrined in the Zhu Sheng Palace of Literature, enjoying the nourishment of the Hao Ran Dynasty, when it was taken out to revive the Zhu Sheng at the founding ceremony two days later, it would then shock the world.
That is why the Hao Ran Dynasty was the first to send out invitations, and the first to invite Xu Qingnian.
The goal of the revived Vermilion Saint was to target Xu Qingnian, but of course there was another reason to invite the revived Vermilion Saint to shape the tripod of the Hao Ran Kingdom’s fortune.
This was their biggest goal, killing Xu Qingnian was just a pa*sing thing.
Outside the royal residence.
Liu Ye frowned, he had been waiting here for a long time, but he had not expected to see Xu Qingnian, which made him a little unhappy.
If he were a great Confucian, he would have to call Xu Qingnian a half-saint, but now as an envoy of the Hao Ran Dynasty, he did not need to be too polite to Xu Qingnian, and of course Xu Qingnian did not need to be too polite to him either.
We had already broken up, so there was no need to be false.
Only, at that moment, a figure slowly walked out of the royal residence.
But it was not Xu Qingnian, but the divine monk Hui Zheng.
He did not look too good.
He was a little embarra*sed, but more than that, he was angry that he had been caught by Xu Qingnian after forcing him to transform him.
He was angry at Liu Ye for shouting outside. If Liu Ye had not shouted outside, he would have been successfully transformed by Xu Qingnian.
If he succeeded, he would have done a great service.
It would have been a great success for the Buddhists, as it would have allowed the Buddhists to enter Great Wei, and it would have converted the newly promoted half-saints of Confucianism into Buddhists, plus Xu Qingnian’s status in Great Wei.
But it was just one step away, just one step away.
Now that the transmutation has failed, Xu Qingnian will be substantially immune to the power of transmutation, unless the Buddha Sect’s First Grade manifests itself and forcibly transmutes Xu Qingnian, and it must do so while Xu Qingnian is without the slightest defence.
And it would most likely fail.
This kind of thing is extremely demanding to perform, especially for those of high rank, and can only be used once, and must be used beyond the rank.
He was a second-ranked Awareness, a full rank above Xu Qingnian, which was why he dared to make a sudden move to transform Xu Qingnian, wanting to take him by surprise.
That’s why he dared to make a sudden move, trying to take Xu Qingnian by surprise.
Walking out of the royal residence.
The divine monk Huizheng looked at the man in front of him, his gaze bursting with fire, wanting to kill him.
“Divine Monk Huizheng? Why are you here?”
Seeing the other party, Liu Ye was a little surprised, he did not expect Divine Monk Hui Zheng to walk out of Xu Qingnian’s royal residence.
“Get lost.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng spoke coldly and directly crossed over Liu Ye.
Hearing this scolding voice, Liu Ye was a little confused.
Why did he scold me for no reason? I didn’t provoke you, did I?
Also, didn’t they say that the monks of Tianzhu Temple were all very kind? Is this kind? D*mn you, you’re bullying me for being a scholar, aren’t you?
Although his heart was full of anger, Liu Ye did not dare to say it out loud, the other party was a second-grade enlightened Buddhist cultivator, he could crush himself hundreds of times with one hand.
It’s just that he’s uncomfortable in his heart.
At the same time.
In the middle of the royal residence, Xu Qingnian’s figure appeared.
He looked at Liu Ye quietly.
The latter instantly felt like a manacle.
“Xu ……. Lord Xu, this is the invitation that Lu Sheng asked me to hand over to you, two days later when the Hao Ran Dynasty is founded, please make sure you attend the appointment.”
Liu Ye’s voice rang out, he wanted to call Xu Qingnian by his full name, but the words came to his mouth and he couldn’t say them, he could only shout out Lord Xu, asking him to call the half saint he couldn’t shout out.
Everyone had already torn their faces, so there was really no need to continue being hypocritical.
Once this was said, there were many people around who were secretly watching, and some powerful people had heard Liu Ye’s shout long ago.
They were curious and couldn’t help but frown at the same time.
Xu Qingnian and the Wen Palace had already fallen out a long time ago, and now he had the face to invite Xu Qingnian to the Founding Ceremony, this was really shameless.
However, when they thought about it, they understood that the Hao Ran Dynasty had the courage to invite Xu Qingnian to the ceremony, so they must have some backbone.
Most people didn’t believe it was true, and thought it was just a momentum builder for the Hao Ran Dynasty.
But now that Xu Qingnian has been invited, it somehow makes people feel that there is some credibility in this matter.
Otherwise, what was the point of inviting Xu Qingnian?
To stage another saint killing?
Wouldn’t that be like having nothing better to do? If he didn’t have the courage, he wouldn’t dare to continue to provoke Xu Qingnian.
“Is it really an invitation from Saint Lu?”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, his gaze calm as he looked at Liu Ye.
Xu Qingnian did not have any ill feelings towards Liu Ye, he was just a small person, and if it wasn’t for Liu Ye, he would have been caught in the middle this time.
But Liu Ye’s role was not the greatest, the main thing was that Chao Ge had woken him up at a crucial moment.
“Lord Xu, it was indeed Lu Sheng’s personal invitation, and the invitation was also handed to me by Lu Sheng himself.”
“Lu Sheng said that Lord Xu is the new saint of the Great Wei, in the end he is also a scholar and has read sage books, this time the founding of the Hao Ran Dynasty is about all the scholars in the world, if Lord Xu is not busy, he must come.”
“Lu Sheng also said that there was more or less a misunderstanding about what happened before, so as long as Lord Xu comes, he will also be considered to have done a good deed for the scholars, and Lu Sheng will no longer pursue the past matters.”
Liu Ye made a sound, not even daring to look at Xu Qingnian.
It was because these words, right, sounded a bit disgusting.
Everyone knew that the Palace of Literature was targeting Xu Qingnian at every turn, and if it wasn’t for Xu Qingnian’s ability to turn the tide against the odds every time, otherwise, a random mistake could have cost Xu Qingnian his life.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. What does it mean to say that you have done a good thing for the readers?
The first thing you need to do is to do something bad.
The king’s residence, Xu Qingnian did not feel anything, it’s not like he had never experienced the disgust of Zhu Sheng’s lineage.
If the Zhu Sheng lineage did not disgust him, Xu Qingnian would have felt odd.
It was also at this moment that a voice rang out.
“Xu Sheng is not going.”
The voice rang out, and it was Chen Zhengru.
Not far away, Chen Zhengru walked at an extremely fast pace to the royal residence and looked at Liu Ye and refused categorically.
“Shouren, I have learnt some news that the Zhu Sheng lineage is specifically targeting you for this Founding Ceremony, and that they may use the power of the world’s scholars to revive Zhu Sheng.”
“You must not go on this trip, and the Great Wei Dynasty will not send anyone to give them this opportunity.”
Chen Zhengru transmitted his voice to inform Xu Qingnian of this matter, he was afraid that this was a Hongmen Banquet and Xu Qingnian would suffer if he went.
“No harm.”
“If we really invite Zhu Sheng’s intention, this would be a good thing, so that Zhu Sheng can open his eyes and take a good look at his disciples, what kind of corruption they have become nowadays.”
Xu Qingnian shook his head as he looked to Chen Zhengru with this reply.
Xu Qingnian spoke directly, and he did not transmit his voice, which could be heard by all.
When Liu Ye heard these words, he could not help but sneer in his heart.
Xu Qingnian was still too young.
If it was the will of the Vermilion Saint, there was a real possibility that he would have chosen to help Xu Qingnian, because that was the will of a saint that could distinguish right from wrong and sense right from wrong.
But what the Hao Ran Dynasty revived this time was not the True Will of the Vermilion Saint, but the True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint.
In other words, it was the saint’s spirit body, which was only under the control of the Palace of Literature and was the strongest spear of the Palace.
So Xu Qingnian was too situation and conceited, but it was fine, he would pay the price for his arrogance and ignorance.
“Shouren, you must think twice about this matter, there is no need for this.”
Chen Zhengru still continued to remind, although he also did not believe that the Palace of Literature could revive Zhu Sheng, but there was a saying that it was better to believe it than not to believe it, in case it was really invited, it would be a great blow to Xu Qingnian.
Once there was any loss, the Great Wei Dynasty could not afford it.
“Chen Ru, the king has already thought twice about this matter. The king would like to see whether the Zhu Sheng, after reviving, will target this king or teach this group of unfilial disciples a lesson.”
Xu Qingnian gave his reply, his tone was calm, and his eyes were filled with confidence among them.
But the more confident he was, the happier Liu Ye was in his heart, he couldn’t wait for Xu Qingnian to go on like this, and when the Zhu Saint revived later, he would see if Xu Qingnian could go wild.
“In that case, then we will be waiting for you. Lord Xu, don’t come back after setting up a banquet, or else the world will say that our Palace of Literature is suppressing you again.”
Liu Ye said so.
Xu Qingnian stood with his hands in the air, looking at the other party in a calm tone.
“Tell Lu Sheng that two days later, this king will definitely come to the Hao Ran Dynasty in person.”
Xu Qingnian spoke indifferently, he did not know how the Wen Palace was calculating itself, but what Xu Qingnian knew was that the day the kingdom was founded, was also the time when the Wen Palace would be unlucky.
“Good, a gentleman’s word is a team of horses, with Lord Xu in this position, I also believe that Lord Xu will certainly do what he says.”
As Liu Ye said this, he handed the invitation to Xu Qingnian, then turned around and left.
After Liu Ye had left, Chen Zhengru sighed, before directly pulling Xu Qingnian into the royal residence.
“Shouren, ah, your confidence is a good thing, I have nothing to say, but this time the Palace of Literature is clearly trying to target you.”
“And why do you have to be like this, just to sulk, the Wen Palace goes to the banquet ah? Isn’t that asking for trouble?”
Chen Zhengru was a bit puzzled, people dare to invite, must have the backing and strength, not that he Xu Qingnian can not.
It is not that he, Xu Qingnian, is not capable of doing so, but that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so to go forward when it is obvious that you are losing out is asking for trouble.
Hearing these words, Xu Qingnian could not help but smile bitterly and said.
“Chen Ru, Wen Gong has a bottom card, why don’t I have a bottom card?”
“You are too cautious, think about it Chen Ru, when has Chen Mou ever been reckless in his actions?”
Xu Qingnian did not know how to explain, so he could only reply in this way.
Indeed, when he said this, Chen Zhengru could not help but show his surprise, then he thought about it carefully, although Xu Qingnian was a bit aggressive in his actions, he had his cards on the table every time, seemingly reckless, but all of them were rough but fine.
He really does not need to worry about himself.
But Chen Zhengru still could not help but speak up.
“Shouren, no matter what cards you have, this time the Palace of Literature is really moving, so I will go with you.”
Chen Zhengru spoke up, he believed Xu Qingnian had his cards, but he was still a bit worried, so he planned to go with Xu Qingnian.
“No.”
“Chen Ru, at the moment, Great Wei is still in a state of rejuvenation, and you are needed to take charge of all matters, if you leave, it will be more than worth the loss to Great Wei.”
“Don’t worry, I have my own way.”
Xu Qingnian refused Chen Zhengru’s request, as the Great Wei needed Chen Zhengru now, and there was no need to go with him to the Hao Ran Dynasty, as the loss would not be worth the gain.
Of course, Xu Qingnian also understood that Chen Zhengru was worried about himself when he was like this.
“But this.”
Chen Zhengru still wanted to say something else, however Xu Qingnian shook her head and looked at Chen Zhengru and said.
“Chen Ru, trust me.”
Once these words were said, Chen Zhengru could not help but sigh, and then spoke.
“Alright, since the words have come to this point, old man also believes you.”
“But be careful in all things.”
“By the way, just now I saw a monk in the distance, was it the divine monk Huizheng?”
Chen Zhengru asked.
“En, Fang almost fell into his path just now.”
Xu Qingnian nodded and said so.
The fact that the divine monk Huizheng had come to the capital could not be concealed from the powerful people of Great Wei, especially the prime minister in front of him.
Hearing Xu Qingnian speak like this, Chen Zhengru’s expression suddenly changed.
“What do you mean?”
Chen Zhengru asked.
“Huizheng wanted to reincarnate me, but he was alerted by Liu Ye outside, causing me to suddenly wake up and also causing Huizheng to fail in his reincarnation.”
Xu Qingnian gave his reply.
Once this was said, Chen Zhengru’s face instantly became incomparably ugly.
“D*mn it.”
“He dares to transmute my Great Wei princes? Has he gone mad? The Tianzhu Temple is really no good, even daring to indoctrinate my Great Wei’s princes?”
“I shall report to His Majesty and send troops to the Western Continent to suppress the Tianzhu Temple.”
Chen Zhengru took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a cold intent among them.
Xu Qingnian was the prince of Wei, and he was also the new saint of Confucianism in Wei, so with all his status, he really did not expect that the divine monk Huizheng of the Tianzhu Temple would dare to forcibly convert him?
This is simply not putting Great Wei in his eyes.
“Forget it.”
“Chen Ru, he failed in his attestation and was wounded, and it’s not a bad thing.”
“The first transmutation didn’t work, so there’s even less chance of success in the future.”
Xu Qingnian shook his head, right now he didn’t want to cause trouble, after all, if the other party failed in his first degree, it would be almost impossible to continue his degree.
It was tantamount to adding immunity to his own degree.
The main reason, of course, was that Xu Qingnian wanted the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, and before he could obtain it, Xu Qingnian did not want to fall out with the Buddha Sect.
Fang scolded angrily just now, not exactly tearing his face off directly, after all, the other party had been in the wrong in the first place.
“En.”
“But from now on, you have to be careful of the Buddha Sect.”
“The disciples of the Buddha Sect, thousands of years ago, were eyeing the Central Continent, and later on, if not for the emergence of Zhu Sheng, I’m afraid that the Buddha Sect would have invaded my Great Wei long ago.”
“Now that the Wen Palace has seceded, in their eyes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“They would prefer to enter Great Wei, and I even suspect that they would do anything to enter Great Wei, and the fact that they dare to even convert you is proof enough of how strong the determination of this group is.”
“I will inform His Majesty of this matter, Shouren, if it really comes to the last resort, Great Wei can fight.”
Chen Zhengru spoke out, he was basically giving Xu Qingnian an answer.
Great Wei could always go to war, if pushed to do so.
“En, I understand.”
Xu Qingnian nodded his head.
And Chen Zhengru continued to speak.
“Shouren, I came over to find you, firstly, for what happened just now, and secondly, I have some happy news to tell you.”
“Now that the Heavenly Engineering Pavilion and the Gathering Hall have been successfully established, talents have sprung up like shoots from all over the world, and among them are many skilled craftsmen, as well as some good handsome people.”
“They have all been chosen by each of the six ministries.”
“Now the food production has increased extremely, and the last time we were blessed, the land of Great Wei was fertile and easy to grow grain, and we even found some rice ears in the middle of two days, with nearly three times more grains than normal.”
“It is still a three-season rice, which can be harvested three times a year, and some food has also been found in various places, which needs only a little water to be fed, and grows extremely fast, and can be harvested in a month, just not much taste, but it can carry hunger.”
“Shang Shu Gu has calculated that if there are no surprises, with the waterwheel, good fields, open fields, and these rice seeds, Great Wei’s grain yield could be as much as five times as much.”
“If we add the newly found grain, we can solve the survival problem of fifty percent of the people of Great Wei.”
“In three years’ time, Great Wei’s grain production could be ten times greater, reaching a flourishing state where the world is full of grain.”
Chen Zhengru was a little excited.
He had come over this time not just to remind Xu Qingnian, but also to tell Xu Qingnian of this good news.
There was no need to say much about the waterwheel.
After Xu Qingnian’s sainthood, countless good fields in Great Wei were nourished by blessings, and large quantities of grain grew, not to mention that many strange new rice ears appeared, which produced full and large rice, and also in extremely large quantities.
All the barren fields have been irrigated, some of which were not suitable for cultivation, but with the blessings of heaven and earth, they have been transformed into good fields, greatly increasing the yield of food.
The Ministry of the Household was so excited that it could not sleep every day for some time after finding some new food that did not taste good but could carry hunger.
After all, even if we grow more food, we still have to consider the food and clothing problems of many people at the bottom.
There is no country that does not have a shortage of food, it is just a matter of some people having enough to eat and others not.
Even though the Great Wei Dynasty has been blessed by heaven and earth, it is still very difficult to feed the whole of Great Wei. Fifty percent of the people of Great Wei are the lowest of the low, living in the mountains, or in extremely remote villages.
Even with cultivation, it was difficult for them to have enough to eat.
Now that they have this kind of food, although it is not very tasty, at least they have enough to eat. When they have enough to eat, they have the strength to work, and when they have the strength to work, they can continue to produce and move step by step towards a better life.
Any development takes time, and Chen Zhengru already anticipates how Great Wei will change in a few more years.
“Good.”
“This is a good thing, but we still need to ask Lord Gu to control the price of food, we need to suppress the price of food from now on, but don’t suppress it too hard, we can do it slowly.”
Xu Qingnian’s heart was also filled with joy when he heard what Chen Zhengru said.
A five-fold increase now would inevitably be a ten-fold increase in two or three years’ time.
If that was the case, the Great Wei Dynasty would catch up to its heyday in three years and could reach its true heyday in five years, with every household having food in stock and ready to move on to the next stage.
This is the benefit of a strong national fortune.
The winds and rains are good, there are no calamities, and even anything you need or want will be blessed to you, like this rice cob and this food that sounds similar to potatoes.
It would be logical to go looking for it, and it’s quite possible that you won’t find this food for years, but when the country is strong, these things appear on their own for no reason at all, saving time and allowing Great Wei to move ahead in its development.
A year sooner they were available, a year sooner Great Wei could rise to power.
“En, Shang Shu Gu understands this and has already set about making arrangements.”
“However, Gu Yan asked me to ask you, at present the treasury is full and the food production is increasing extremely fast, although His Majesty has exempted the tax for three years, but with the full food production, the silver in the Great Wei treasury can be partially disposed of, ask you what you think.”
Chen Zhengru inquired.
The Ministry of the Treasury is now completely drifting, the treasury has a lot of silver, there is a lot of grain outside, not spend uncomfortable.
The original not to spend is worried about this and that, so know that spending silver can develop the country, but also can not spend, afraid of that day suddenly cut off food, where another disaster.
But now there is no need to worry, naturally the silver is not useful in the treasury, so it is better to take it out for the benefit of the people.
“The government should build official roads and bridges, with the counties taking the lead, and require that the roads be smooth and well connected. Anyone who evades the order or makes a false report will be fined once, punished severely twice, and forbidden to travel the official roads three times.”
“Right now, Great Wei’s grain production is increasing at a rapid rate, and in less than a year, trade will rise everywhere, so we must plan ahead and build official roads to improve business efficiency, so that Great Wei’s copper can circulate quickly, creating a good phenomenon, and so that we can better control the price of grain and not have black-hearted merchants controlling the grain market.”
Xu Qingnian thought about it, as Great Wei was now completely free from worrying about income, then it was time to start building roads and bridges.
It was a cla*sic saying that if you wanted to be rich, you had to build roads first.
The smoother the roads, the more developed the economy would be. It might seem a bit odd to build roads now, but building roads required a lot of manpower as well as time, and it would take at least ten years to build them all.
But Xu Qingnian’s county-based approach allowed each province to build official roads to facilitate trade between the provinces.
The first step would be taken, then the prefectures would build them, and then the counties.
The further you go, the more silver you need, and there is no way around it.
“Good.”
“I’ll go and see Gu Yan later.”
Chen Zhengru pondered over it, and soon he understood Xu Qingnian’s purpose for building the road, and nodded at once.
“Shouren, the Ministry of Punishment has now expanded by forty percent of its manpower, most of which are disciples of the Immortal Sect. Now that the whole of Great Wei has been completely stabilised, all the curmudgeons have been brought to justice, and there are still some rogue bandits left.”
“With the a*sistance of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, Zhang Jing believes that within six months, the scourge of the roving bandits in Great Wei can be completely resolved.”
Chen Zhengru continued to report on the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment, represented was justice, and Xu Qingnian also had great regard for the Ministry of Punishment.
“Increase the efforts, let the disciples of the Immortal Sect concentrate their efforts, solve all the stray pirates in two months, but after the stray pirates are captured, only the leaders will be killed, the rest will not be killed, but ask for the reasons, if there is an unjust case, the local magistrate must cooperate with the investigation.”
“Solve the case first, then behead the head, the rest of the stragglers, detained in the main prison everywhere, if they are willing to farm and work, they can reduce their sentence at their discretion, up to 30%, and when they are released, they will be given a sum of money for hard work, paid at the normal rate of one year’s hard work in silver.”
“Let him be a new man and reform himself.”
“The scourge of the rogue bandits will be solved, one by reopening the old cases, two by investigating the brawlers and the shrews, in short, within twenty years, as long as there are any faults, no matter how big or small, they should be punished, they should be killed, tell the people of Great Wei that the Ministry of Punishment is the most impartial, so that the people can work in agriculture and do business in peace.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, this was his request to the Ministry of Punishment.
Kill the stragglers, turn over old cases, and purify the righteousness.
Although it was a bit harsh, this was the only way to let the people live in complete peace of mind.
Otherwise, if the Wei dynasty does not collect taxes when it is hard to earn some silver or do something, and these rogues and bullies from all over the world do, and they collect 50% or 60% at every turn, how can the people still live their lives?
How can the people work hard?
Xu Qingnian is not saying that there will be no evil at all in Great Wei, but to let the people of Great Wei know that the Ministry of Punishment will definitely punish them severely if they do something wrong, so as to ease the hearts of the people, and also to suppress the mischief of the small people.
“Good.”
Chen Zhengru nodded, what Xu Qingnian said simply spoke to his heart.
“Shouren, the Ministry of Industry has recently absorbed a lot of talents and researched many industrial tools, some of which are indeed good, although they are not beneficial to the country and the people, they can also facilitate the people.”
Chen Zhengru mentioned the Ministry of Industry.
Xu Qingnian was also straightforward about the Ministry of Industry.
“The Ministry of Industry can develop at will, as long as it is useful talent, more or less absorb it, as before, without changing.”
Regarding the Ministry of Industry, Xu Qingnian was most looking forward to three things.
One was the work tools for farming, which would reduce a large amount of human resources.
One was a tool for transport, to improve efficiency.
The last one was a weapon of war, the cannon.
Xu Qingnian planned to go to the Ministry of Industry sometime to study the cannon, but as for the farming and transportation tools, he could put them aside for the time being.
There was not that much time and his energy was limited, so he could only study war killing weapons.
At the same time, it would be better for the Ministry of Industry to invent these two things themselves, otherwise they may not be fully understood just by taking them out themselves, and in retrospect, they would still have to improve them themselves.
“The military barracks of the Ministry of Military Affairs are also ready for now, and the expansion of the army will start next month.”
“There is nothing major here at the Ministry of Rites for now.”
Chen Zhengru informed Xu Qingnian of the situation at the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites.
“The Ministry of Military Affairs is following the plan, and for the Ministry of Rites, there is something to be done.”
“Chen Ru, set up the State Scholar’s Academy, with a tai-school, a middle school and four schools under it.”
“The Imperial College is established in all county capitals, as the Great Wei Academy, to advance the six ministries of the court, select talents and provide higher education.”
“Secondary schools were established in all prefectures to expand their influence and cultivate the middle cla*s.”
“Four schools for miscellaneous studies, four schools for agriculture, commerce, industry and military, inviting talents from all over the world, special training.”
“At the same time, the State Scholar’s Supervisor set up the main and deputy supervisors, the inspector’s court, responsible for supervising the teaching ability of the Great Wei Academy, including the division of ranking, as well as teaching uniformity, and those who do not agree, cancel the qualification of the establishment of the Academy.”
“In other words, henceforth, the establishment of the academies in Great Wei will all have to be controlled by Great Wei, the silver can be earned by them for the greater part, but what is taught must be controlled by Great Wei.”
“Let Lord Wang handle this matter, and you, Chen Ru, must also be involved in it, after all, this matter is so huge that the Ministry of Rites alone, I’m afraid, will be difficult to accomplish, and the Ministry of Officials needs to be involved.”
The Ministry of Military Affairs had nothing to say.
But the Ministry of Rites Xu Qingnian thought of the matter of the academy, so he gave this heavy responsibility to the Ministry of Rites.
“Taking control of the Great Wei Academy of Books? This ……. I’m afraid it’s a bit inappropriate, isn’t it?”
Chen Zhengru couldn’t help but smack his lips, Xu Qingnian was really domineering, he wanted the Great Wei Academy to be obedient with a single word, and at the same time set up the Imperial School, the Middle School, and the four schools, so to speak, all in one.
Moreover, the Imperial College was established in the county capital and was directly linked to the imperial court, so entering the Imperial College was basically like having half a foot in the imperial court, which had unparalleled appeal.
If you think about it, you can guess that once the Imperial College is set up, all the scholars of Wei will want to enter it.
The official academy, this was really a masterstroke.
“There is nothing wrong with it.”
“Right now in the Great Wei Dynasty, the highest ranking Confucianism is mine.”
“Chen Ru, a half-saint’s words, who dares to disrespect them?”
“Moreover, my words are also His Majesty’s words, and these academies will have to be honest even if they don’t agree anymore.”
“This is the way of kings.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, he didn’t care what these people thought, what he had to do now was to sweep away all obstacles, whoever you were, as long as it was detrimental to the development of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was time to deal with it.
“Good.”
“I will go and prepare the draft, and give it to His Majesty to read at that time.”
Even Xu Qingnian had said this, what else did Chen Zhengru have to say?
“Shouren, there is nothing else to do, so I will leave first.”
Chen Zhengru took a deep breath, he had to put these things in place, so naturally he could not delay.
“Good, thanks to Chen Ru.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and said so.
After all, he himself was only moving his mouth, and the person doing the work was Chen Zhengru, so he naturally had to be polite.
“You’re welcome, Your Majesty, you’re the one who’s really tired.”
“Shouren, don’t worry, your dream, old man will do everything he can to help you accomplish it.”
Chen Zhengru sighed with emotion, then said another sentence that Xu Qingnian did not understand at all.
After saying this, he left the royal residence, not giving Xu Qingnian a chance to ask questions.
What dream is that?
Xu Qingnian was inexplicably curious.
But soon.
Xu Qingnian didn’t waste any time, he immediately sat down cross-legged and communicated with Chao Ge.
He talked about the matter of Fang’s transformation.
After all, he had almost fallen into the path, so Xu Qingnian naturally had to take it seriously.
Meanwhile.
In the capital of Great Wei, inside an inn.
The divine monk Huizheng sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed, already travelling out of his mind.
West Continent.
In a desert, an old monk was sitting withered.
Suddenly, the figure of the divine monk Huizheng appeared in this place, reflected by the Buddha’s light, but a desert is a desert, even if it is reflected by the Buddha’s light, it still cannot change its essence.
“Senior brother, I failed in my attempt to forcibly reincarnate Xu Qingnian.”
Divine Monk Huizheng spoke, his tone appearing somewhat helpless.
“Ugh.”
The old monk who was sitting withered sighed long and hard.
He was very silent, for a full incense stick, before he finally spoke slowly.
“Is the attitude of Great Wei as I suspected?”
The old monk opened his mouth and asked.
“En.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng nodded.
“Right now, we can only go through which three methods, entering Great Wei is the most important matter for my Buddhist sect, this opportunity, the Buddhist sect will not let go, the Tianzhu Temple is the head of the Buddhist sect, it must be done.”
“Otherwise, when the time limit is up, Little Thunder Sound Temple will rise again, and then there will be another fight, and the world’s living beings will be affected by this again.”
The old monk spoke, somewhat helplessly.
But the divine monk Huizheng shook his head and looked at the old monk and said.
“Senior brother, senior brother is going to look for Xu Qingnian, he can be used as a pawn.”
“Although I failed to rehabilitate him, looking at him, he hasn’t really torn his face off from me, there is still a chance.”
“But instead of going to convert him, senior brother, in a different way, now that he is fighting with the Wen Palace, I can help him and thus change his attitude towards the Buddhist sect.”
“Ask him to come to my Tianzhu Temple, then the four of us will set up the Great Derivative Transformation Formation and forcibly transform him.”
“And we don’t have to go any further, in comparison, even if we fail in the degree, offending a Xu Qingnian is nothing, but if we use those plans, there exists a great danger for us.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng spoke up and said so.
Once these words were said, the old monk once again remained silent for a long time.
Finally, after an incense stick, he spoke.
“Good, good, what senior brother said is extremely true.”
“If sacrificing Master Xu can save the world’s lives, this is indeed a great merit without limit, and I think Master Xu will not blame us.”
“He is a half-saint of the Palace of Literature, and his heart is for the people of the world, just like us, so what senior brother said can be tried.”
He gave his reply, saying so.
As soon as the words were spoken, Divine Monk Hui Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and folded his hands and said.
“Amitabha Buddha, if Master Xu knew of our good intentions, I think he would indeed understand.”
“And we are also accumulating immense merits for Master Xu.”
“If Master Xu really sacrifices himself, he will have an imperial destiny in his next life, and the Buddhist beings will also make a statue of Buddha for him to accumulate blessings in his next life.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng nodded, thinking that by doing so, he was helping Xu Qingnian, and that Xu Qingnian would understand.
Because each of the methods that the Tianzhu Temple had thought of was extremely terrifying, and one mistake would be the downfall of the world’s people.
So if only one Xu Qingnian was sacrificed without using these three methods, then indirectly it would be considered a great merit.
In their view, even if Xu Qingnian was sacrificed, he would still be the biggest winner, receiving immense merit and virtue for nothing and enjoying the ultimate happiness on earth in his next life as an emperor, a great blessing.
For a moment, the divine monk Huizheng felt that his intentions were good.
Let us hope that Xu Qingnian will understand.
And so it was.
A few hours later.
A piece of news also spread to the world.
The Hao Ran Dynasty had invited Xu Qingnian, the new saint of Great Wei, to its founding ceremony.
The news spread instantly throughout the world.
Xu Qingnian and the Palace of Literature were enemies to the death, and this time the Palace of Literature had the courage to invite Xu Qingnian, so it must have the courage to do so, and it was most likely a Hongmen Banquet.
Therefore, people cannot help but guess that this time the Palace of Literature has invited Xu Qingnian in a grand manner in order to revive the Vermilion Saint and subdue Xu Qingnian.
Therefore, theoretically, Xu Qingnian should not have agreed to go to the appointment.
But what was unexpected was that Xu Qingnian had agreed to do so.
Now, even if people in the world didn’t want to pay attention, they couldn’t.
Xu Qingnian had the courage to go to the appointment, so she probably had her cards on the table.
If the Palace of Literature dared to invite her, they must have their cards.
At this moment, the world was looking forward to the opening ceremony of the Hao Ran Dynasty, wanting to see whose cards were stronger.
The majority of people still think that the Wen Palace’s cards are stronger.
This was because during this recent period of time, the Zhu Sheng lineage had started to hurl all kinds of abuse again.
Some of the comments against Xu Qingnian had become even more outrageous than before.
A large number of readers insulting half-saints, such a thing had never happened at all, at least not for thousands of years.
But now it had happened.
And the cursing gradually became more and more numerous and unpleasant, from a small number at first.
But it wasn’t the cursing kind, but an attack that seized on three points.
Xu Qingnian’s cultivation of foreign arts.
Xu Qingnian disrespected Zhu Sheng.
Xu Qingnian forced away the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
Yes.
The first two were old stories, but after the third point was made, I don’t know how many great powers fell silent.
They felt the shamelessness of the Palace of Literature through and through.
The Great Wei Palace of Literature had clearly broken away on its own.
Now it had only been ten days, and it had turned out that Xu Qingnian had forced them to break away.
But the angle these people were looking for was very tricky.
The readers of the Zhu Sheng lineage believe that Xu Qingnian disliked the great scholars in anger, but the court did not care, and even appointed Xu Qingnian as an official.
Xu Qingnian abolished the great scholars and killed them, but the court did not care either. No matter what Xu Qingnian did, the court did not intervene, and even stood up for itself and suppressed the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
The reason for this is that the empress of the Great Wei is in sole control of power, does not respect the holy will, does not listen to the advice of the people, and wreaks havoc on the country and the people.
The Great Wei Literary Palace challenged the imperial power for the sake of the world and the people of Great Wei, so the empress sent Xu Qingnian out to target them.
Forcing the Great Wei Wen Gong out hard and fast.
From this perspective and logic, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
It even portrayed itself as the victim.
It had to be said that no one could speak beyond the mouth of a reader.
But what Xu Qingnian knew was this.
Fists can silence the readers.
Inside Kyoto.
Xu Qingnian came out of the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.
He opened his eyes.
The eyes were filled with killing intent.
He had learnt from Chao Ge that Divine Monk Hui Zheng possessed the Great Divine Power of the Buddhist Sect, which could specifically enlighten others, and that the sudden attack just now was not just because the other party was of a higher rank than himself.
More to the point, the other party possessed a great divine power.
But the good thing was that he was able to wake up instantly, not only because of Chao Ge.
There was another reason, and that was the national fortune within oneself as well as the public opinion added to it.
The divine monk Huizheng was not able to redeem himself.
Even if Chao Ge had not reminded him, he would have woken up at the critical moment.
Because the national luck coupled with public opinion could hold off the last line of defence, in other words, one might sink in consciousness, but one would definitely not be successfully transmuted.
This made Xu Qingnian breathe a long sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it would have been a great trouble if he had really been forcibly transmuted.
Xu Qingnian also understood completely why Zhu Sheng said that he had almost fallen into the path back then.
The power of the Buddha’s degree was indeed terrifying, an unspeakable force that was extremely strange.
It caused one’s consciousness to sink, unable to resist at all.
“Huizheng.”
“Buddha Sect.”
“When I obtain the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, this debt will definitely be settled with you.”
Xu Qingnian muttered to himself in his heart.
He did not reveal his killing intent, not because he did not hate the other party, but because he did not want to tear his face off, and he needed the Eight Treasured Buddha Lotus.
There was also another point to be made.
He himself could not manage to directly kill Huiming.
It was not like the Buddhist Sect was Confucianism.
The fighting ability of the Buddhist Sect was not bad, far worse than a second-grade martial artist was true, but at least it was still second-grade.
In a life-and-death battle, Xu Qingnian was confident that he could outwit his opponent and complete the cross-cla*s battle.
But the opponent could not be so stupid as to fight him hard, and he could not kill him in one breath, after all, he was a third-grade martial artist.
If he were a second-ranked martial artist, he could have killed Huizheng with one hand.
However, Xu Qingnian would not forget this debt, and when he got the item, he would settle the score as he should, and would definitely not let it go.
It was at this moment.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside.
“By His Majesty’s decree, the King of Ping Rebellion is going to Zhu Sheng’s Palace of Literature to attend the opening ceremony of the Palace of Literature, and hereby prepares congratulatory gifts for the King of Ping Rebellion, twenty catties of grain and rice, ten barrels of vegetable oil, and ten catties of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as a token of the statehood of Great Wei.”
“Your Majesty, His Majesty has prepared a dragon boat for you, the congratulatory gifts are all on the dragon boat, His Majesty has asked his servant to ask you when you will leave?”
The eunuch’s voice sounded outside.
Just when Xu Qingnian heard it, he couldn’t help but stare for a moment, and then couldn’t help but laugh.
The empress was also a Yin Yang monster, ah.
People sent twenty carts of grain and rice, ten barrels of vegetable oil, and ten pounds of each vegetable and fruit for the opening ceremony of the country.
It was really a slap in the face.
“Tell His Majesty that we will leave in an hour.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up and said so.
According to the speed of the dragon boat, it would take almost two days to reach the Hao Ran Dynasty.
“In obedience to the king’s decree.”
The eunuch responded, and then led the men away.
And in the middle of the royal residence, a dragon boat was also suspended in the air.
It was also just as Xu Qingnian was about to walk onto the dragon boat.
A figure appeared directly in the courtyard.
It was that of the divine monk Hui Zheng.
Looking at the figure of Divine Monk Hui Zheng, Xu Qingnian’s gaze was instantly ice-cold.
“Didn’t this king say for you to get lost?”
“Do you want to seek death?”
Xu Qingnian’s voice was icy cold, but he had collected his killing intent, making the Huizheng Divine Monk mistakenly believe that he was just angry.
“Don’t be angry, Master Xu.”
“It is true that the old ca*sock was a little reckless just now.”
“To express my apologies, Master Xu, there is something that the old ca*sock has to tell you.”
“The Vermilion Saint Literature Palace, having obtained the Vermilion Saint’s true spirit object, they are likely to revive the Vermilion Saint on the day after tomorrow, so old ca*sock advises you that you should not go there, otherwise, there will be a great danger in heaven.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng spoke as he informed Xu Qingnian of a spicy secret, hoping that this would be used to gain Xu Qingnian’s forgiveness.
But in a flash.
Xu Qingnian was somewhat stunned.
The True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint?
What a good guy.
He had really found it without any trouble.
If one mastered the Vermilion Saint’s Will, that meant that if one recovered the Vermilion Saint’s Will when the other party recovered the Vermilion Saint’s Spirit, wouldn’t one be able to recover the Vermilion Saint at his peak?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian’s heart couldn’t help but be wildly happy ah.
No wonder the Palace of Literature had invited him to a banquet, so it was like this.
Good, good.
This time, Xu Qingnian really wanted to see what kind of expression the Zhu Sheng lineage would have.
However, in the face of Huizheng’s expression, Xu Qingnian did not show a trace of surprise, but rather indifference throughout.
“The Spirit of the Vermilion Sage?”
“So what? This king has no shame in asking for it, and if it really revives the Vermillion Saint, then all the better.”
“Huizheng, this debt is definitely not over when you suddenly rehabilitate this king.”
“After the matter of the Palace of Literature is resolved, this king will definitely make you pay the price.”
“Get lost.”
Xu Qingnian spoke coldly, and after saying this, he stepped onto the dragon boat and departed directly.
The fact that the divine monk Huizheng had forcibly converted himself was indeed disgusting originally.
But now Xu Qingnian inexplicably did not feel disgusted anymore.
It was because the Spirit of the Vermilion Saint had been found by the Palace of Literature.
This meant that the peak Zhu Sheng would be resurrected, and the matter of the Huizheng Divine Monk forcibly indoctrinating himself.
It could be cleared up all together.
This was considered a blessing in disguise.
When the stuff arrived.
For the rest of the account, Xu Qingnian would slowly find the Buddha Sect to pay back himself.
