Wang Qing couldn't help but glance at Chu Lanting. This sixth-rank Zuosi of the Shangshutai was probably the last number one scholar in the Daduan Dynasty. Otherwise, the Zuo Prime Minister would not have called him this.
It is said that in the ancient times of the divine dynasties, the imperial examination had its own magic. Anyone who could write a pearl-shaped article that shocked the Holy Spirit during the examination could receive the totem blessing and practice "Chongming Wende Gong" quickly and well.
Officials who have been blessed can be said to be immune to all evil. Many treacherous villains have no choice but to hide away. If they are involved in a book by him, they will have to take off their hats and face the crime, waiting for investigation.
I think this is also a measure for Shenchao to reform itself.
Seeing Chu Lanting in front of him, Wang Qing always felt that he was the kind of civil servant who was blessed by the Daduan Chongming Totem - this was not just a guess.
The "Chong Ming Zhen Ling Kung" practiced by Wang Qing is actually one of the top techniques among the sacred monuments under the mountain tyrant.
The Chongming Divine Bird Dharma he cultivated already has a vague connection with the real Chongming True Spirit - the totem of Big Duan is the True Spirit-level Chongming Divine Bird.
Therefore, it is normal for Wang Qing to feel something.
"This Lord Chu, his articles alarmed the Holy Spirit, and he was trained under Zuo Xiang. Now many high-ranking officials can only sleep, but he was awakened by Zuo Xiang. I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person."
Wang Qing thought more.
If Li Chongxuan becomes the modern and ancient Holy Emperor of Daduan, then Chu Lanting is likely to be his right-hand man trained by the civil service group.
Isn't that his Xiao Qingqing's competitor?
Yu'er, who had been observing him, moved over from Zhou Bahuang and whispered:
"Young Master Wang, this Chu Lanting looks very pretentious. I am afraid that he will serve in front of my Young Master in the future, but I have to worry about him leading the Young Master astray."
Wang Qing was startled, looked at Yu'er, and was about to say, "Heroes see the same thing," but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words slightly:
"Miss Yu'er, not to mention that Zhou Daoyou is so far away from the Holy See. Even if he steps back ten thousand steps and he sits in that position, miss, you should go into the harem. In any case, there is no need to worry about Chu. Sir.
Could it be that your young master is still... hiss! "
Yu'er glared at him and sneered:
"Wang Qing, don't think that I can't see it. We are the same people. The way you looked at Mr. Chu just now is probably what I thought, right?"
Wang Qing didn't try to hide it, and said generously:
"If Senior Brother Li ascends to the Great Treasure, Master Chu and I will be officials in the same court. It is inevitable that we will be worried that we will not get along, which will affect Senior Brother Li's major affairs."
"Huh, these ancient divine dynasties have always had very strict requirements on the background and experience of officials. If you don't go through the states and counties, you won't be appointed to the pavilion. If you are a Jinshi, you will be an official.
If you become an official, you are called a sycophant. You might as well enter the harem, maybe your future will be brighter. "
Wang Qing was shocked and asked:
"Could it be that a male Holy Emperor like Senior Brother Li can have men in his harem?"
He couldn't help but feel very lucky that the "Chong Ming Benevolence and Virtue Gong" was abolished, otherwise it would have been very dangerous - Senior Brother Li didn't tell him the truth. It was really, really scary to think about it.
But Yu'er rolled her eyes and turned back to Zhou Bahuang, leaving only one sentence:
"I want you to be clean and become a father-in-law!"
The corner of Wang Qing's mouth twitched, and he comforted himself again and again, don't be like this little girl Yu'er, this girl is very unruly, so as not to get caught in a scandal.
The two of them were transparent and muttered in the background, which did not affect the left prime minister's arrangements for the assessment.
Military generals learn their true skills on the battlefield, and civil servants naturally test their ability to protect a country and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But this time, there is no restriction on Wang Qing and Yu Er's following.
I saw the Prime Minister Zuo taking out a "Prime Minister's Seal" and throwing it under the Chancellor's desk. The big seal turned into a large formation and evolved into infinite mystery.
Li Chongxuan and others were gradually enveloped by the formation, and soon found themselves in the back office of a government office.
There were county magistrates, county lieutenants, chief registrars, envoys, inspectors, etc. All the officials, both qualified and unqualified, came to pay their respects at this time:
"My subordinates are paying homage to Magistrate Li and Master Wang. Uh, no, it's the king's guard. Uh, no, it's the king's noble lady. Huh? Wang, Mrs. Wang?"
Wang Qing heard something strange and baffled.
However, Li Chongxuan understood a little bit and explained to Wang Qing:
"I'm afraid it's because you practice the Five Virtues, so the Prime Minister's Seal is a little confused, and that's why they screamed randomly."
He turned to look at everyone:
"You just call him Master."
The county magistrate quickly took all the officials to visit Wang Qing again.
As the closest aide to the county magistrate, the master actually has more power in the county government than the county magistrate - especially many powerful county magistrates, and even their attendants, have more dignity than other officials. .
Wang Qing nodded to everyone:
"Master County Magistrate, we just want to manage this county in an orderly manner. How can we win this round?"
Li Chongxuan frowned and nodded, a little troubled.
He still has some talent in commanding the army. When he was a mortal, his father was also in the army, so he was somewhat influenced by it.
Later, when he joined the Qingyun Sect, he also devoted himself to cultivation and did not take care of many secular affairs like Wang Qing. It was really confusing to have to deal with the government affairs of the entire county at once.
However, he was not a person who was afraid of difficulties. He cheered up and planned to start to understand little by little. Even though he could not beat Mu Qingqing and Zhou Bahuang, this experience was also of great benefit to him.
Wang Qing didn't notice his expression, and thought that Li Chongxuan was showing off his majesty as a county magistrate by not speaking, so he took the hint and couldn't help but raise his voice:
"You don't need to hang around here. Go back to your respective offices and record down the duties performed in the past three months. Then, you can record the county's financial and taxation, household affairs, lawsuits, water conservancy and other affairs in the past three years. Books, records and volumes were brought over.
In addition, Mr. County Magistrate, could you please write down all the famous people in the county in a booklet and submit it to the county magistrate for review.
…”
Wang Qing gave orders one by one very skillfully. Everyone saw that he was not an amateur, their skin tightened, and they quickly went down to prepare.
Li Chongxuan looked at Wang Qing mysteriously:
"Junior brother, do you still know how to deal with these mundane affairs?"
Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that Li Chongxuan didn't understand this, and couldn't help but said proudly:
"Senior Brother Li, you don't know this. I was also the acting head of the Siming Mountain. Many matters from top to bottom must be reported to me before they can be implemented.
What's more, I also had some friendship with a Jindan master from the Wudao Demon Sect. I lived in his senior brother's Wudao Demon Kingdom for three years and had many personal experiences.
Oh, by the way, in fact, before I entered the spiritual world, my family was also from a noble family. Alas, it is quite a pity that when I was seven or eight years old, my father also raised an army, but he was too hasty and failed to do so. Successfully, the deployment was scattered and could only defect to others.
If my father had succeeded, my younger brother would have been a prince, and he would have been much more familiar with these government affairs. "
Li Chongxuan, however, silently calculated. When Wang Qing was seven or eight years old, didn't his father join an army with a general named Wang?
"Junior brother Wang, you are also a mortal cultivating immortality. You should be from the mortal kingdom of Heavenly Sword, right? I wonder which country you are from? Yue? Qi?"
Wang Qing blinked, and many memories flashed out like lightning.
He remembered that Li Chongxuan was an orphanage contestant - and the person who achieved this protagonist's fate seemed to be Wang Qing's biological father.
Even Wang Qing, who instigated his own father to start an army, cannot escape the blame.
Wang Qing secretly adjusted his breathing and spoke sternly:
"Senior Brother Li, this is no time for gossip. As the master of Sheji Pass, Mu Qingqing is probably very good at these things. We must race against time."
Li Chongxuan looked at him deeply for a while, then nodded and said:
"Junior Brother is right. But I see that Junior Brother has arranged it very well. I will ask Junior Brother to take more trouble when they deliver the books."
Wang Qing's face turned bitter, and he felt like he was about to go blind.
But at this time, he didn't dare to bargain, otherwise Li Chongxuan would bring up old matters again and talk about his parents.
I had to pinch my nose and gnaw away at those dusty volumes bit by bit.
outside this realm.
Zuo Xiang and Chu Lanting stood side by side, Chu Lanting bowed slightly, both of them looked down at the prime minister's seal. There were three people in one county, and they could not meet each other.
"Master Zhuangyuan, would you like to comment?"
Chu Lanting smiled and said without being polite:
"Now it seems that Mu Qingqing is very proficient in everything, no matter how big or small. It seems that she has enough understanding of these matters, and the situation in the county is improving the fastest.
Next was the Overlord of Zhou. Although Lu looked a little straighter, he was actually quite talented in employing people. He was stable and able to unite the different forces in the county into one bundle. At this time, it began to have results.
Finally, there is His Highness Li. Haha, I didn’t expect that Young Master Wang could cultivate the Five Virtues and be so knowledgeable about common affairs. Although he was a step slower at this time, he already had his wisdom in hand and had the momentum to catch up later.
The three highnesses are all like a dragon and a phoenix among men, each with their own strengths. "
The left prime minister nodded at him, saying that no one should be offended, but Chu Lanting was right. The current situation among the three parties was roughly like this.
But what the Prime Minister is most interested in is Li Chongxuan's team.
With the help of Wang Qing, Li Chongxuan did not rush into action. Instead, he did a lot of paperwork and wrote a detailed and rich plan.
He stared at the pile of paper filled with words, and there was a letter written in big characters:
"Xuan County's first five-year plan outline!"
In this plan, in addition to the general principles and implementation regulations in the first chapter, there are also three chapters on agriculture, industry, and commerce, as well as various aspects such as water conservancy, roads, urban construction, education, medical care, culture, etc., and then there are reform of official administration and strengthening of organization. , the last article is:
"The beautiful vision of building a harmonious society in Xuan County"!
After reading this long article, Zuo Xiang even pulled out several strands of his beard. After a long time, he finally said with regret:
"Is this the way to govern a country now and in the past? Alas, we have fallen far behind after sleeping for a million years."
Seeing this, he was actually certain of the final result.
Sure enough, in the prime minister's seal, a full ten years have passed. With the blessing of extraordinary power, Xuan County has finally built a It has become a paradise on earth.
The twenty-four-character core mantra can be said to have been basically realized.
Li Chongxuan and Wang Qing, both of whom had grown beards at this time, couldn't help but look at each other with great relief as they watched their subordinates flourish.
At this moment, the world turned upside down.
The five people appeared again in the Chancery.
The left prime minister said nothing and gave them a long time to digest before pointing at the prime minister's seal:
"Just see for yourselves."
Li Chongxuan and the other five looked down and saw three very prosperous counties - but a few people quickly focused their attention on Xuan County.
Without him, this Xuan County is too big, too neat, too prosperous, and too novel—its population is ten times that of Qing County and twenty times that of Huang County.
Many buildings, many concepts, and many layouts were completely beyond the imagination of Mu Qingqing and others. However, they are all extremely smart people. When they saw it, they knew the advantages and couldn't help but admire it.
After they had looked at it carefully several times, the Prime Minister Zuo spoke again:
"His Royal Highness Li must have won this round."
Mu Qingqing and Zhou Bahuang looked at Li Chongxuan with complicated expressions. They did not expect that this man was not only very good at running the army and fighting, but also had such talent in managing secular affairs. people.
Seeing that they had no objections, Zuo Xiang stretched out his hand, but two stacks of paper flew out from the prime minister's seal, while the three counties dispersed like clouds and could no longer be seen.
The five people couldn't help but take a step together and stretched out their hands, as if to retain those mortals.
"It comes from nothingness and goes to nothingness. You don't have to feel sad."
The left minister comforted him.
Everyone also returned their attention to the two stacks of paper in the hands of Zuo Xiang - they had just seen that these two stacks of paper had flown out from Xuan County.
Prime Minister Zuo reached out and opened the first page of the "Outline of the First Five-Year Plan", and the Chancellor's desk vibrated slightly.
There was no surprise on his face.
Even when a Chongming sacred bird slowly appeared on the prime minister's seal, he showed sincere respect and was not surprised.
This Chongming sacred bird is red all over, which is exactly the red fire of Wende. It is the Dharma sign of cultivating the "Chongming Wende Gong" to the extreme.
"Alarm the Holy Spirit!"
Chu Lanting, as the last champion who had alarmed the Holy Spirit, was no stranger to such a situation. He was just shocked that Wang Qing's outline could alarm the Chongming Holy Spirit.
This crimson Chongming suddenly shot out two divine lights in his eyes, one fell on Li Chongxuan, which was slightly lighter, and the other fell on Wang Qing, which was much stronger.
Obviously, it confers blessings on the totem based on the size of the contribution.
This crimson divine light fell into Wang Qing's body. It was the same as Huo Guang's black divine light. It completed the practice of the fire virtue in "Chongming Zhenling Gong" in an instant. Before breaking through the Nascent Soul, he also It is impossible to make any more effort.
Wang Qing saw that on the five-color lotus crown of his Chongming Xuying, there were already two petals, one red and one black, showing a very deep color. The divine light was flowing inside, which showed that he had cultivated to the deepest level.
"This totem blessing is much richer than that given by Privy Envoy Huo Guang, and more power is deposited in the shadow of Chongming. When I break through the Nascent Soul, it will burst out together and help me condense into a more powerful one. Dojo.
This trip, although I haven't seen the shadow of Chongming True Blood yet, it was really worth it. "
Yu'er stood aside, very confused.
Wang Qing received the blessing of the totem, which was equivalent to passing the imperial examination, and he was the number one scholar. Even if he became an official in the court in the future, he would not be considered lucky.
"God is so blind."
After the Prime Minister Zuo flipped through the two-point outline, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then frowned for a long time before sighing. He felt that there were many profound connotations in it, and it was not something that could be applied casually.
He shook his head, put down many thoughts, waved his sleeves, threw the prime minister's seal to Li Chongxuan, and said:
"Your Highness Li, you have obtained two great seals, and you are only one step away from the last step, which is the prince's great seal in the hands of Prince Yuan.
But before you compete for this big seal, you have to go to the fourth floor first. Commander Yun, who is in charge of the imperial army, will take you to the day when the divine dynasty is destroyed, the gods are destroyed, and the holy palace is burned to the ground.
Take a good look at how powerful the enemies of the divine dynasty are. If you can still maintain your resolve after that, you will be qualified to go to the third level of the Temple of Heaven. That is the test of the royal bloodline. "
Prime Minister Zuo smiled softly and told Chu Lanting:
"Master Zhuangyuan, please send them there."
