Xu Mochen didn't know about Shu Wuyin's affairs with Mu Nanyi, because something more disturbing was waiting for him the next day.
The literary spirit of the noble students was stolen, and it was immediately known to the immortal cultivators.
Behind these nobles, there are more or less supports from cultivators, and they have a close relationship.
So early in the morning, Xu Mochen hadn't had breakfast yet, and the imperial study room was already full of memorials.
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun's intelligence side also received similar news, "Last night, basically all the residences where gentry students gathered around the capital were attacked.
Their literary spirit has been extracted away. Of course, the noble students, as mortals, don't know this yet. "
Xu Mochen looked at the memorial: "The officials are very fast. I'm afraid they are worried that I will suspect them, so they are so active."
"Now that everyone has lost their skin, there is no such taboo as before," Tang Derun said, "If they don't express such things, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain to other sects."
Xu Mochen sneered: "It's enough to be an official in the court. I have the world in all directions in my heart, so I can bear it.
Now I still worry about the nobles and where to put the common people in the world. "
Tang Derun shook his head: "Profit comes first. These noble clans also have supporting sects behind them. They must be aware of the problem, so they asked hundreds of officials to report it to His Majesty."
Xu Mochen didn't want to read it, but he didn't need to read it to know roughly what the memorial said.
Needless to say, this imperial examination includes top quality students, all of whom are cultivators of immortality.
At the second level, it was the turn of these nobles.
The default result of Shifang World has now been broken. These noble students have lost their competitiveness.
It is easy to understand, whether you are an immortal cultivator or a noble student, there are academic masters and scumbags.
Now that the gentry academic masters and others are all wiped out, the ones who can benefit the most are the scumbags among the immortal cultivators.
Because there is no competition.
"So," Xu Mochen picked up a memorial and clapped his palms, "the courtiers want me to come forward to settle these noble students."
It was really too much to bully others. He was defeated because he had no ability. As an emperor, he had to wipe their butts.
"What if I don't agree?" Xu Mochen first asked the bottom line. .z.br>
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun swallowed, "No matter what, after all, the nobles are still a major force in the human race and cannot afford to offend them for the time being."
"Presumptuous!" Xu Mochen slapped the table, "I opened the back door for them, how is it any different from cheating in the imperial examination?
Aiqing has never thought about it. If I really do that, and the courtiers change their faces and force me to do so, then won't I be punishing myself? "
"This..." Tang Derun was stunned. His Majesty was indeed insidious and cunning.
Ah, no, it’s scheming.
"So we can't open a back door for the children of the gentry," Xu Mochen pondered. "The imperial examination still has to go through the normal process. Whether you can pass the exam or not depends on your individual ability."
Tang Derun followed him, waiting quietly for the emperor's conclusion.
Now his attitude is absolutely respectful. If His Majesty is Tu Dao Xiaoyao Immortal and talks nonsense, he might be slapped to death.
"It's not possible to act openly and openly," Xu Mochen paced slowly, "But Aiqing is right, my opponents are immortal cultivators, and there is another noble clan who will be attacked from both sides.
Children of the gentry who did not pass the exam would not be able to enter the official career, but changes could be made here.
You go and spread some drizzle, just say that after the imperial examination, I may hold an enke. "
"Enke?" Tang Derun heard this for the first time.
"Well," after all, with five thousand years of experience and knowledge from Blue Star, Xu Mochen felt more and more reasonable as he talked, "It's Enke.
But since it is Enke, it must be expanded.
After the exams for poor students from prefectures and counties are completed and those who are admitted can participate together with the children of the gentry, I will personally set the exam questions and conduct interviews one by one after the exam. "
Tang Derun's forehead was sweating. After the emperor cultivated to immortality, he worked hard without sleep.
After all.
However, this approach can indeed stabilize the current situation.
Whether it was an ambitious cultivator who wanted to get all the imperial examination quotas, or a cultivator who secretly supported the noble clan, neither party had any objection to the emperor's handling of it.
After the matter was decided, Xu Mochen asked about the investigation of the man in red robe.
"After last night's incident, Wei Chen met privately with Ji Wenhe and Wen Guanxian from the Ministry of Rites." Tang Derun did not dare to hide anything. "As for the theft of Wen Qi, Wei Chen estimates that they have already received the news."
Xu Mochen nodded, he also thought of this.
"But they were also surprised by what the man in red robe said." Tang Derun took out a report from Xumi Mustard Seed and handed it over, "The great people in the Middle Kingdom have four sages in literature and art.
The so-called Yisheng refers to the literary sage Zhou Gong, but he usually only cares about worldly affairs.
Of the four sages, two of them were met by Your Majesty in the Imperial College.
The other two sages are said to be spreading Chinese culture in foreign countries, so these four people have alibis. "
"Mi Luo said that the man in red is also at the level of a sage," Xu Mochen frowned, "Can a sage appear out of thin air? Or is the information wrong?"
"The practice of the Wenfa Sect is unusual," Tang Derun explained. "Sages and sages cannot be awarded the title by practicing their nine-aperture magical power."
Literary skills are not only compared with fists, but also with literary skills and so on.
"This person can use ancient books to trap His Majesty. The little princess will not be mistaken," Tang Derun continued, "So I thought that the fifth sage has arrived in the capital."
Interesting, people appear out of thin air.
"Could he be a secluded immortal cultivator?" Xu Mochen asked.
"Impossible," Tang Derun was sure. The titles of saints and sages were unusual. "There is another possibility. They came from the upper realm of the clouds."
Xu Mochen's face suddenly became solemn: "Check, we must find out.
Also, keep an eye on the capital. This person has taken action once. I don’t think he has achieved his goal. "
What can be done just by absorbing the literary spirit of some noble clansmen.
Tang Derun took the order.
"Reply a letter and send it to the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea," Xu Mochen said. "You should have a better attitude. After all, I was the one who killed their clansmen in the first place.
As for the matter of Mi Luo, just mention it in a vague way and see how the dragon clan reacts. "
Tang Derun understood: "Your Majesty hopes that the Dragon Clan will come to the capital to add fuel to the fire here?"
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop," Xu Mochen said with a rare smile, "In this case, I might as well add more wind and see how they want it to blow."
After the matter was explained, Tang Derun turned around and went out to make arrangements.
The imperial study room became quiet, and Xu Mochen pondered, setting up restrictions around the room, then holding his breath and concentrating, he entered his own inner world.
The first thing I came to was my own Qizang Divine Mansion. There was not much change here from before.
The only difference is that there is a Tao Fruit floating on top of the Tao Source Spring.
It was created by Yitian through Taoist magic.
It's just that in the Donghuang ancient books, in order to resist the power of the laws of the books, many people were burned by the strange fire inside.
