For most warriors, especially some high-level warriors, once they are stuck at a certain level bottleneck, it may be a lifelong matter.
After all, everyone's physical conditions, skills, background, understanding, martial arts training time, opportunities, etc. are all different. Most people's bones can support around the fifth level, which is already very good.
The same is true for Shen Yanfei.
His family knows his own affairs, and it has been five years since he broke through to the eighth level. In the first two years, he worked hard to exercise his muscles, listen to the chicken dance, and practice martial arts.
As the head escort of the Feiyan Escort Bureau, he has some money, and he has spent a lot of money to buy various martial arts medicines.
But it is difficult to break through.
Later, he accepted his fate. At the eighth level of ordinary martial arts, he was at least considered a first-rate master, which was not bad.
I even gradually gave up my thoughts on breakthrough, and my energy was reduced a lot.
Who would have thought that the pill given to him by the emperor today would actually allow him to eliminate all the old diseases caused by practicing martial arts in his body in just a cup of tea, and completely break through to the ninth level of mortal martial arts!
At the moment of breakthrough, he only felt that he was much younger and had returned to his peak period again!
Even, the vigor in his heart was regained, and he had the idea of impacting the super level.
At this time, he finally fully understood how precious the Nine-turn Great Return Pill, which the emperor said was "the only one left in two hundred years," was!
The emperor was kind to him!
Originally, Shen Yanfei might have just wanted to take a chance because of his benevolence, Pei Zhong, his benefactor, and the fifth-grade official position. If he really wanted to say how loyal he was to the emperor, it was just that.
The breakthrough brought about by this pill completely made him loyal to the emperor from the bottom of his heart.
This is the grace of knowing and encountering, the grace of reinvention.
With thoughts surging in his heart, Shen Yanfei knelt in front of Li Yun, his eyes red and bloodshot.
"My dear, Shen Yanfei, I am willing to die for the Emperor!"
These are no longer empty words, but words from the heart.
Feeling the royal energy surging out of the opponent's body, Li Yun knew that he had completely conquered Shen Yanfei.
It is easy to subdue his person, but it is especially difficult to subdue his heart.
Fairly smooth.
Then he said slowly:
"What I want is the living commander of the Youjinwu Guard. Get up."
"Yes!" Shen Yanfei stood up respectfully, his whole person seemed to be completely new.
Pei Zhong on the side smiled and said:
"Master Shen, congratulations."
Shen Yanfei looked happy, cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, my benefactor!"
As long as the motivation is in place, it doesn't matter if the goal is difficult.
Li Yun then looked at Pei Zhong's three sons and praised:
"A tiger father has no sons. Pei Aiqing's sons are all the pillars of the country."
The three Pei family members were excited, knowing that the emperor was going to make arrangements for them.
Li Yun did not speak to them directly, but looked at Pei Zhong:
"Let Yiren stay and help you, rejuvenate your youth with righteousness and courtesy, let them return to their hometown to build an academy, devote themselves to studying, and cultivate a batch of reading seeds for me. When the eunuchs are wiped out, I will open up a subject to recruit scholars, regardless of birth status. No matter how high or low.”
Hearing this, Pei Zhong's heart, which had been calm for a while, was shaken again.
To open a subject and get a scholar, regardless of one's origin, no matter how high or low one is!
This is a great good thing for the whole world, and it is the dream of all scholars!
You must know that the official selection system above the court currently only has two types: Meng Meng and Recommendation.
First, look at whether you are from a noble family, especially the nine and ten surnames, which are the core, and then some other second- and third-class noble families.
Even if it is a recommendation, it is controlled by the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family recommends the aristocratic family.
The Dongzhu Party's ability to compete with the Eunuch Party relies on the power of aristocratic families.
If you are from a poor family, even if you are extremely talented and famous, you will still be ostracized and suppressed if you are occasionally recommended to the court.
It is difficult to truly integrate into the circle of aristocratic families.
There are also some children from poor families who are willing to marry into aristocratic families for the sake of their future, so that they can gain a good background, and naturally they will be stabbed in the back.
As for civilians, basically there is no need to think about it.
Especially those who came from merchants and military families, it was almost impossible to become an official in the court.
This is why Shen Yanfei is so excited.
Pei Zhong himself was born in the Pei family of Gaoling. He was once prominent in the previous dynasty, but later there was no one who could support him. He was considered to be in decline.
When he was young, he failed many tests. Later, he was introduced to the court based on his talent and reputation, and was selected by Emperor Ling to become a bachelor in the palace, and then he started to rise step by step.
Because of this, coupled with his upright character, he was often ostracized in the court and was secretly ridiculed by officials from aristocratic families in the Dongzhu Party.
Pei Zhong deeply understands how heroic and courageous this person is to start a medical school regardless of his birth status!
Fortunately, after what had happened before, he had already recognized Li Yun as a heroic leader. At this moment, he was excited, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will let Yiyi and Yili return home tomorrow. But this academy... please give me your name."
Li Yun nodded:
"Since we don't care about our origins, no matter how high or low we are, we just take the idea of fairness from the way of heaven and call it the Academy of Heaven's Way."
Pei Zhong murmured:
"The way of heaven is fair...the way of heaven...what a great academy of heaven! To have a British master like this, our country of Wu is...lucky!"
His sons are also smart people. At this time, they naturally understand that if the Tiandao Academy is established by their Pei family, its future influence will be really terrible.
All excited.
After giving some instructions to Pei Zhong, Shen Yanfei and others, Li Yun walked out of the study, and disappeared into the night again like a ghost, as if he had never been here before.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yanfei sighed:
"Your Majesty's martial arts skills are so superb that they are truly unheard of and unseen..."
Then he turned to Pei Zhong and cupped his fists:
"My benefactor, a certain family is also going back. I'm so lucky to be able to see Tianyan tonight. After I go back, a certain family will gather people to go through fire and water for the great cause of the Holy One!"
With that said, he bowed his hands to Pei Zhong and escaped into the night.
After Shen Yanfei left, Pei Zhong looked solemn and said:
"With righteousness and courtesy, you will take your mother and the others back to your hometown in Gaoling early tomorrow morning. I am an old friend of the great scholar Zhou Yangming. He will help you build Tiandao Academy. The housing and facilities can be kept simple. You must recruit students quickly. Loyalty to the emperor is the first requirement. !”
He had a vague feeling that the emperor might have built the Tiandao Academy not only to open courses to obtain scholars in the future, but also for other purposes.
"Yes, father!"
Pei Zhong then looked at his eldest son Pei Yiren and said:
"Yiren, you go to Mingguang Alley and ask Mr. Zou, the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Examination Department, to come and say that as your father, you want to treat Mr. Zou to a drink."
The Ministry of Personnel is divided into four parts: the Wenxuanqing Officials Department, the Fengqing Officials Department, the Xunqing Officials Department, and the Gongqing Officials Department.
Among them, the Department of Appraisal and Clearing of Officials is responsible for the evaluation of officials' performance and in charge of their promotion, demotion, and dismissal. In particular, it is the most detailed evaluation of officials in the Beijing Inspection and Planning Department.
Zou Wenmin, a doctor in the Department of Civil Service Examination, is Pei Zhong's good friend. Although he is only in the fifth rank, he has information about many officials.
When his eldest son Pei Yiren left in a hurry, Pei Zhong stood up straight and looked into the dark night. He saw a star twinkling faintly on the horizon and couldn't help but smile.
In this dark night, there is finally light.
At the same time, after Li Yun left Pei Mansion, he did not rush back to the palace. Instead, he came to sit cross-legged on the roof of a secluded corner.
The scene when he saw Shen Yanfei break through to the ninth level just now also touched him.
The potency of the seven martial arts medicines in his body was still less than half. He had never made a breakthrough in martial arts, but wanted to let nature take its course.
Especially after breaking through to the first level of Qi training, fellow Xianwu practitioners' demand for martial arts is not that strong for the time being.
After observing Shen Yanfei's breakthrough tonight, he found the key node.
Slowly moving his internal force, the acupoints all over his body vibrated. Li Yun felt that his internal force was like a mud cow entering the sea, hiding in all the acupoints, and he used it meticulously.
The Ninth Grade Fanwu really penetrated the aperture and became it.
