at this time.
In the academy, all eyes were on Grand Master Xia Chuanqiu!
"Jiejiejie..."
Xia Chuanqi came back to his senses and smiled sinisterly: "Your Highness, don't you know the identity of this Grand Master?"
"Why bother asking?"
Staring at Xia Chuanqi's stiff eyes, Xia Tian said word by word: "Gu Guan, the life in your body should have been extinct a long time ago. You should have died a long time ago. Why are you still alive?"
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes lit up!
Xia Tian is indeed a little curious: "Gu Gang has solved the puzzle for you in the imperial examination. Now, can Grand Master also solve the puzzle for Gu?"
now.
The third prince's eyes were frighteningly bright, staring at Xia Chuanqi as if he were staring at the elixir of immortality: "Grand Master, do you have a way to extend your lifespan?"
Peacocks are really curious too!
"No!"
Xia Chuanqi's pupils shrank and he narrowed his cloudy old eyes: "Your Highness, stop talking nonsense. This Grand Master is a human being, not a ghost. He is still alive and well, but you say that this Grand Master is a dead person... What does this mean? ?”
"Nothing interesting!"
Xia Tian withdrew his gaze: "Come here, spread the word. Grand Master Xia Chuanqi is at the end of his life, but he is still alive now because he possesses the art of longevity!"
"yes!"
Zangyi responded: "I will tell those novelists!"
"No!"
Xia Chuanqiu was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Your Highness, please don't spread rumors!"
"It's not a rumor!"
Xia Tian said with a smile but not a smile: "Whether you admit it or not, many people will come to the Grand Master to ask for life-extending techniques. Grand Master, please take care!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xia Chuanqiu clenched his skinny fists, but he didn't dare to take action against Xia Tian!
He had a feeling in his mind that if he took action, he would be attacked fiercely!
The prince is motivating him to take action!
He endures it!
For a moment, the academy was very quiet!
Xia Tian was very disappointed: "Didn't the Grand Master ask Gu...how to solve the last question?"
"Now I tell you, there is no right or wrong answer to this question. It just asks the candidates to think about who they are... What kind of life should they live as a human being?"
"Living for others?"
"Live for yourself?"
"Are you living for the people of the world?"
"Or do you live for power?"
Xia Tian lowered his head and continued to review the test papers: "To use the rough language of Huangzhou, the butt determines the head. People with different origins have different ideas!"
"Some people are born into a precarious situation. They need to survive first, then they have time to think about where to go in life."
"Some people are born with a golden key in their mouths and are carefree. They are born at the finish line of other people's struggles. They have more time to think about where to go in life."
"Master, do you understand?"
Xia Chuanqi suppressed his anger: "Your Highness, do you want them to plan their future lives on the examination papers?"
"yes!"
"Life is long, with many thoughts and ever-changing ideas. Gu gives them not only life to think about, but also their original intentions!"
“If you don’t forget your original intention, you will always succeed!”
"I see!"
The third prince's face was full of admiration: "Brother, the prince, this question is well done, very well done!"
"Brother Wang figured it out when he saw this question. My ambition...is to become the first saint in the Great Xia Empire!"
"Brother Prince, do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Xia Tian was grading the examination paper without stopping, and said with profound meaning: "Since Brother Wang has this intention, he must move towards the goal, towards the sainthood, and become the first saint in Daxia!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The third prince smiled a bit obscenely and took the opportunity to ask for advice: "Brother Prince, Brother Wang has something to ask me!"
"Brother Wang, please ask!"
"Can a saint be lecherous?"
"Can!"
“Can a saint be greedy for power?”
"Can!"
"Can a saint have murderous intentions?"
"Can!"
The third prince's face dropped: "Can someone who is greedy for money and sex also be a saint?"
"yes!"
"Brother Prince, are you trying to comfort Brother Wang?"
"of course not!"
Xia Tian raised his eyes and said seriously: "A saint walks the holy path and doesn't care about his deeds!"
"When it comes to the heart, there is no saint in the world!"
"Do you understand?"
The third prince's eyes flashed with light: "Understood!"
"In other words, if a person's heart is full of bad water, but he not only does no harm to others but also does good deeds for a lifetime, then others will think that he is a good person, then he is a good person!"
"In other words, Brother Wang, I can be greedy for money and lustful, but as long as I do the things of a saint, I am a saint!"
"Brother Wang is wise!"
Xia Tian's face was full of joy: "He is indeed a future saint!"
Xia Chuanqi looked at Xia Tian and then at the third prince, always feeling something was wrong: "It is said that His Highness the Prince became a saint once he became enlightened!"
"I am not a saint!"
Xia Xia shook his head: "Gu is just an ordinary person, just the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire!"
"But I hope that more and more saints will emerge in Daxia who will pray for the people!"
He lowered his head and continued to review the exam papers!
All students with A and B grades on these examination papers will be admitted.
Then there will be a palace examination, which is an interview, and official positions will be allocated based on the candidates' talents!
This imperial examination is very urgent, and the steps are very simple. It is to select capable talents as officials as soon as possible, so that the Great Xia court can operate smoothly and prepare for next year's war!
at this time.
No one had any objections to the examination papers, and no one doubted Xia Tian's marking!
Night is falling!
The Royal Academy is brightly lit.
Xia Tian never stopped grading exam papers.
at this time.
The candidates in the inn were anxious and praying that they could pass high school!
Outside every inn in the Imperial Capital, people from the Imperial Patrol Battalion and the Criminal Department patrolled to maintain law and order and ensure the personal safety of the candidates!
the other side.
In the palace.
Emperor Xia was sitting in the royal study, listening to the information coming back from the Imperial City Department. He looked at the door with a complicated look on his face and asked: "Old man, you said...if the prince ascends the throne, he can take over the throne." Will the Xia Empire become the most powerful country in the mainland?"
"Will the Daxia clan become the most powerful clan in the world?"
"Speak boldly, I want to hear it!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei nodded: "Yes!"
"But His Majesty is wise and mighty in his prime. Even if His Majesty the Crown Prince does not become the emperor, he can still assist His Majesty in building the Great Xia Empire into the most powerful nation in the mainland, and will make the Great Xia clan the most powerful clan in the mainland!"
"Hehehe..."
Emperor Xia laughed and scolded: "Old man, don't flatter me, I want to listen to the truth!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei said without hesitation: "Yes!"
"Your Majesty, I feel that the national destiny of Great Xia is rapidly increasing. Although we have just experienced civil strife, we were able to prevent the invasion of the Sirius Empire, the Black Man Empire, and the Barbarian Empire at the same time. This not only greatly increased the country's prestige, but also shocked the mainland and made other countries look at it with admiration. !”
"According to secret reports from the border, the Fairy Kingdom and the Khanate have sent tribute missions and are about to enter the empire!"
Emperor Xia's eyes lit up: "Aren't these two kingdoms reluctant to pay tribute because of my weak position in Great Xia?"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei was also very sad: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused the enemy at the border this time. Not only did it give me a winter to prepare for war, but it also demonstrated the majesty of our Great Xia Empire!"
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the most powerful prince in the mainland!"
"certainly!"
Emperor Xia stood up, looked at the void outside the door and said, "Of course he is the strongest prince on this continent!"
Eunuch Wei finally asked: "Then why did Your Majesty allow Grand Master Xia to enter the court to contain His Highness the Crown Prince?"
