Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 122 Longyu Taoist, the first imperial examination in the Tianqi Dynasty 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

As soon as this word comes out.

The little celestial master of Longhushan suddenly tensed up.

Even the movements of his hands stopped, and he couldn't help saying: "How do you know?"

I didn't have any physical contact with the other party at all, and the hiding along the way was also very good.

In addition, she is dressed in men's clothes now, so if you just look at it with your eyes, you can't tell it at all.

She was curious as to how this person found out.

"That's a very short answer."

Yu Huatian embraced his hands and continued: "Although Longhu Mountain is hidden from the world and does not enter the rivers and lakes, I still understand it. For example, in martial arts, there is a theory of yin and yang, and yang is usually only known by men. Practice."

"But what you just cast is yin, so I can easily judge whether you are male or female."

Historically, the inheritance of the celestial masters of Longhu Mountain is generally male.

He also understands this.

So it is surprising that this generation of Little Heavenly Master Longhushan is actually a woman.

It really shocked him a bit.

"You actually know so much about my inheritance of Dragon and Tiger Mountain?"

The little celestial master immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Say, who are you?"

Longhushan is a hidden sect, if it is an ordinary disciple, it is okay to be known by outsiders.

But the inheritance of the lineage of the Celestial Master is the most secret and the most important thing. Except for some real seniors, others don't know it at all.

Even the five thunder palms divide yin and yang, and the restrictions on practice are very clear.

Let her feel the feminine young man in front of her.

The identity is definitely not ordinary.

Especially the little celestial master can see that the opponent is young, but his martial arts cultivation is extremely high, stronger than himself.

She is very clear that before leaving Longhu Mountain, Master once commented.

With his current cultivation base, there is almost no danger in the rivers and lakes.

Even the heads of various sects and sects, few are opponents.

How long has it only been out now?
Just met a young man who was invincible.
"You don't have to worry about that."

Yu Huatian shook his head slightly and said.

Before that, he had been living deep in the palace and didn't know much about the outside world.

But above all, at least there was an ancestor eunuch, and the matter about Longhushan was also learned from the other party.

But regarding these, Yu Huatian of course would not say anything, just said: "Little Celestial Master doesn't need to be so wary of me, I won't harm you, otherwise you won't be as simple as being slightly injured in the last fight. "

"I came to look for you this time because there is a noble person who wants to invite you to discuss alchemy."

Your honor invited me to discuss alchemy?

This sentence.

It made the little celestial master stunned.

The young man in front of him had an unbelievably high level of martial arts.

What kind of existence can be called a noble person by the other party?
She didn't know, but she didn't want to know, because she was finally able to enter the world and practice, and she was at ease.

But now there is another noble person to invite.

It made the little celestial master a little reluctant.

Furthermore, although she has a lot of experience in alchemy, it is not what she wants, so she thought about it for a while, and then said: "I'm really sorry, I'm not good at alchemy, you should find someone else .”

Not good at alchemy?
This sentence made Yu Huatian hesitate.

The younger brother has already said before that he must find an alchemist to make alchemy.

The candidates are also placed on the little and old celestial masters of Longhu Mountain.

The old heavenly master's whereabouts are secretive, and he can't find them at all, and even if he finds them, he is afraid that he will be very difficult to deal with unless the ancestors are asked to take action.

So now the only suitable person is this little celestial master.

But the other party actually said that he is not good at alchemy
but.

Yu Huatian didn't fully believe this kind of words, but said: "Since you are a Taoist, you must know about this Tao. Besides, it doesn't matter whether you are good at it or not. The important thing is that I have received an order. I invite you to come."

At this moment, his tone was very firm, because this was the first time he was doing something for His Majesty, so he couldn't mess it up.

"What if I don't want to?"

The little celestial master narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately spoke.

Originally a member of the Taoist sect, even in the mountain gate, he is used to idleness.

Now that the other party's attitude is so tough, she doesn't even want to go to the so-called nobleman.

After all, I don't even know the other party's identity at all.

Who knows if you can come back after you go?

"It's up to you."

Yu Huatian took a deep breath, and continued: "No matter who the nobleman wants to invite, no matter who, no matter who, you can't refuse!"

The reason why he only called him a nobleman was naturally because he didn't want to explain the real situation.

You know, there is still a long way to go from Beiyang Mansion to the capital.

Wait for this little celestial master of Longhu Mountain to arrive at his destination.

Naturally, I will understand.

"No one can refuse?"

After hearing this, the little celestial master couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but said: "Such a domineering person, isn't the noble person you're talking about still the current emperor?"

She was really angry, thinking that the young man was too domineering.

It made it seem that the nobleman behind the other party was the emperor who was rich in the world and held the country in his hand.

As for the words of the little celestial master, Yu Huatian did not respond.

He just took a small step forward.

Simultaneously.

The breath around him is constantly shaking at this moment.

A powerful force erupted suddenly, blowing away all the surrounding rubble.

In an instant, Yu Huatian made a move, and his hands turned into pure white.

opposite.

The little celestial master was startled.

Although the two parties have not yet resolved, she can still feel the strength of this person's means, and then without any hesitation, the whisk in her hand was raised and thrown down in an instant.

boom!
As soon as the means of the two sides came into contact, there was a roar.

Almost in the next instant, all the stone slabs under his feet were blown to pieces.

Even the ground sank a little.

A crack appeared.

Both of them have extremely high attainments in martial arts.

Even though the little celestial master of Longhushan was young, he had reached the pinnacle of the fourth rank of martial arts, and was only one step away from breaking into the upper third rank.

As for Yuhuatian, he had reached this state as early as the previous year, so he was not afraid at all.

Grab the opponent's fly whisk directly in his hand.

Then push a little harder!

Click!

The dust whisk split open and turned into powder.

Even the little celestial master couldn't help but retreat, his face was a little pale.

In the last fight, she was slightly injured, so she is definitely not an opponent now.

Moreover, he also knew in his heart that the opponent must have not exerted all his strength, otherwise it would not be as simple as shocking back.

At this moment, the little celestial master is completely sure.

The femininity young man in front of him has already reached the realm of heaven and earth in martial arts.

And it's not the kind of beginner.

Coupled with the fact that he was faster than himself, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Immediately, she thought for a while, then restrained her breath, and then said: "No more beatings, no more beatings, let's go with you once."

It's not that the little celestial master succumbed, but that he really couldn't fight anymore, and the opponent seemed to be only one realm higher than himself.

But in fact, the gap between the middle third grade and the upper third grade is very large.

If you continue to fight like this, you will be the one who suffers.

In case the other party is really angry.

That is bound to be even worse.

Now that Master is not around, the only thing he can do is to choose to compromise temporarily.

Isn't it alchemy? It's nothing to try.

"Oh?"

"So you've figured it out?"

Yu Huatian also stopped, with a smile on his face, and then said: "Since you have figured it out, don't worry, if you are really not good at alchemy, that nobleman will never make things difficult for you."

In Wang Jin's words, His Majesty is lenient and benevolent today, and he is also a wise emperor through the ages.

So in order to dispel the other party's vigilance.

Of course he would say so.

"Who knows then?"

The little celestial master shook his head.

Although I don't know the noble person in the other party's mouth, I want to find out what I want to do.

But there must be nothing wrong with alchemy, otherwise, the young man in front of him would not have such an attitude.

But soon, she thought about it, and continued: "By the way, what about my identity?"

"Don't worry, I won't say much."

The way of rain turns into heaven, so he naturally knew that the little celestial master didn't want to reveal the identity of the woman.

And I don't have any interest in it, so I won't say much.

"it is good."

The little celestial master was completely relieved, and then said: "My Taoist name is Dragon Fish, from now on you can call me Dragon Fish."

After finishing speaking, she continued: "By the way, since I'm going with you, there must be a destination, right?"

"Naturally, our destination is the capital." Yu Huatian said.

Capital?

Arowana's complexion changed slightly.

That is not a good place for people in the Jianghu.

But it's useless to regret now, since the other party is going, let's go.

The capital, in the imperial city.

Wei Yunyi started alchemy again.

Although before, Wang Jin had already said that he had found the trace of the little celestial master in Longhushan.

But I think it will be some time before the other party reaches the capital.

Therefore, he directly chose to start.

If that little celestial master comes.

It's also good for the other party to start taking over directly without wasting time.

Of course, the refining of the Great Return Pill is only secondary. What Wei Yunyi cares most about now are the two projects.

So every time he finished his meal with the empress, he almost ran to the palace.

Check out the latest developments.

Satisfied is.

Since the imperial meeting, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households have been busy.

The Ministry of Households paid last year's taxes, and except for the money that must be used, everything else was handed over to the Ministry of Industry.

As for the Ministry of Industry, after Zhang Yingxing took office, he quickly came up with a plan and sent it along with the memorial.

Actually, regarding the two projects of the Grand Canal and the construction of Wei Zhidao, Wei Yunyi was just an idea, and he had no idea how to implement them.

However, Zhang Yingxing's plan seems to be appreciated by many people.

Even the Minister of the Ministry of Industry agrees with this very much.

in this way.

It made Wei Yunyi feel a little relieved.

At least this time, a capable person was found.

So he directly granted the imperial approval and started these two projects directly.

As the supervising envoy, Zhang Yingxing set off the next day and was ready to open it.

Of course, Cheng Rui, who is the inspector censor, followed closely behind, but now he is mainly responsible for the collection of corvee by the Ministry of Industry.

Monitor whether any of them are forced to collect corvee, or if someone abuses their power.

And that is during this time.

Wei Yunyi can be said to be quite happy.

He found out from the memorial that because of the start of these two projects, the tax revenue just raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs was spent quite quickly, and almost all of it was spent like flowing water.

According to Zhang Yingxing's plan, although the Grand Canal has not yet started, sufficient silver must be prepared.

Besides, there is Wei Zhidao going on on the other side, which requires money.

implementation of these two projects.

It will inevitably consume a lot of money and national power of the court.

Especially when it is not built, it is almost useless.

Once the national power is exhausted, the luck will definitely decline.

Not to mention how much luck has been ruined,
All you need to do is to equalize the luck that increases every month, and that's at least 600 worth of foolishness.

Enough for Wei Yunyi to do many things.

How could he be unhappy?

Of course, such a speed of spending money.

Many officials in the court were dissatisfied.

Because it was too fast, [-]% of the tax that had just come up was directly deducted in less than a few days.

It should be noted that this is still the initial stage of the two projects, if they wait later, I am afraid that the cost will definitely be more.

Therefore, many officials took notes and requested that the two projects be postponed, which would be a waste of money and people.

In particular, Yushitai seems to have become more active recently.

There are more than a dozen memorials almost every day.

just.

After passing by Wang Shouyuan, more than a dozen a day seems to be nothing.

And Zhao Lingying also obeyed Wei Yunyi's order, completely ignoring such memorials.

She knows very well that whether it is the Grand Canal or Wei Zhidao, it seems to be a waste of money, but in fact it is of great benefit to Wei, especially after it is completed.

However, because of the influence of the memorial, Zhao Lingying was also thinking about money.

Although a large part of the tax revenue raised over the years has to be put down.

to do other things.

now.

Because of the two projects, the Ministry of Finance has almost cut off a lot of expenditures.

Now it seems that there will be no problem for the time being, but it will be different after a long time.

After all, the previous ones were the default expenditures of the imperial court, and now they have been cut off
It means that some people can't get the money.

Although it is a small matter.

But the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests.

This is especially true for a huge country, where all aspects cannot be ignored.

Therefore, she also expressed her concerns, thinking about whether His Majesty has any solution to this.

But Wei Yunyi didn't care about these things, he just said that there are gains and losses, and in the face of big right and wrong, especially in the face of national policies that benefit the country and the people, many things can give way.

Zhao Lingying didn't refute this, because after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

Even reforms can't be perfect.

Not to mention two such huge projects?

Say.

In his eyes, these two projects have taken good care of the people, and the increased income for the people is tantamount to the imperial court benefiting the whole world.

Zhao Lingying, who has read many history books, understands very well that the so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world, as long as they stand on the side of the people, no matter how much trouble arises, they don't have to worry about it.

At this moment, in Jingde Palace.

Zhao Lingying poured a cup of tea and said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, the work on the Grand Canal and the straight roads are progressing smoothly recently, especially the Grand Canal, according to the notes on the construction supervisor Zhang Yingxing, it is now ready to start. "

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi nodded, it was less than ten days before the imperial meeting was obtained.

One of the two projects has already started, which can be described as rapid progress.

Of course, the reason for this is because of himself as the emperor.

The reason for the constant urging during this process.

Otherwise, I don't know how much time will be wasted.

"very good."

Wei Yunyi took a sip of his tea, and continued: "Remember, this is a major matter, and you should inform the household department. If Zhang Yingxing needs money, you should give it a direct reply, and don't delay the construction period."

Once the Grand Canal starts, it is best not to stop during the period, so that you can always ruin your luck.

The household department is in charge of the world's money and food, and if the household department is emptied, it is equivalent to the national treasury being emptied.

In this way, are you still afraid that the national power will not decline?
"The concubine knows."

Zhao Lingying replied that she is now in charge of handling the memorial.

So after the start of the two projects, it is necessary to grasp the whole process.

But in her eyes, everything is going well now, and there will be no problems, and she continued: "Your Majesty, the palace examination will be held in two days, this is the first imperial examination in the Tianqi Dynasty, and it is said that many talented candidates have been produced. "

"The Ministry of Rituals wrote a note, saying that after the topic of the imperial examination is drawn up, should it be submitted to the cabinet for review, or should it be reported to His Majesty first?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Wei Yunyi was stunned for a moment.

I almost forgot about the imperial examination.

In my memory, there were indeed several good talents in the imperial examination.

But who it was, he couldn't remember.

of course.

These don't need to think too much, you will know when the time comes.

Generally speaking, the imperial examinations are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, from the rural examinations to the general examinations.

Therefore, in the meantime, Wei Yunyi, as the emperor, hardly has to worry about it, all he needs to do is wait.

But the imperial examination is different.

The palace examination needs to be presided over by the emperor himself.

If you pay more attention, you may even have to prepare for the topic.

However, if the emperor does not want to do this kind of thing, he can completely hand it over to the cabinet.

Just like the previous dynasty, that is, the dynasty of Wei Yunyi's father.

The palace examination questions are reviewed by the cabinet.

Just follow the rules.

After the Ministry of Rites draws up the topic, it must be approved by the emperor if it wants to hand it over to the cabinet.

But for Wei Yunyi, this kind of thing is too troublesome, so after hearing this, he said: "Well, I know, the imperial examination is a major matter, and the Minister of Rites should be approved and let him directly hand it over to the cabinet."

Originally, I couldn't take the exam by myself, but now I have to review the questions in person.

Of course he didn't want to.

With this time, can't you practice more alchemy and rest more?

And Hunjun, isn't that exactly what he wants to realize?

But soon, Wei Yunyi suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "No, let the Minister of Rites come to see me first, after all, Aifei is right, this is the first imperial examination in this dynasty, and I must Be mindful."

Previously, he was just troublesome.

But just now, Wei Yunyi realized.

In fact, it's okay to ask yourself to come up with a topic.

In this way, we can think of ways to disrupt the imperial examination.

Notice.

The imperial examination is now the most important part of the imperial court's selection of talents.

If the Ministry of Rites is allowed to come, it may still be the same as before, step by step, nothing new.

But if I want to be a fool, why not disrupt the situation in this regard, such as asking a weird topic.

In this way, it can also ruin some of your own reputation.

Wei Yunyi knew it clearly.

Because of the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom, his prestige among the common people has become higher and higher, which is much stronger than when he first ascended the throne.

According to the system's settlement of luck, in addition to economic, military, etc. that will affect luck.

The reputation of the emperor is also a very important part.

Because in this feudal dynasty.

The emperor's prestige is high, and it will also be blessed on the national fortune.

Now that his prestige is getting higher and higher, it will also affect the increase in luck.

Just like the emperor's prestige.

Even if the people below have different intentions, they will not dare to act rashly because of fear.

But if the emperor has no prestige and is held responsible, it means that there will be no deterrence among the court and officials.

Luck will naturally weaken as well.

So at this time, we must find a way to make up for it. It happened that Wei Yunyi was also worried before, but now that the imperial examination has started, it might be a way.

Just as I thought before, I came up with a weird test question.

Let those candidates be confused and don't know why.

Although it can't play a big role.

But this way.

It can make those candidates feel that the emperor's question is absurd, and then publicize it outside, won't this be done?
Although Wei Yunyi felt in his heart that the effect was not very great, but no matter what, he had to give it a try.

After all, it is the imperial examination now, and the court's eyes are all focused on one place.

It's your chance to express yourself.

And the other side.

Zhao Lingying was stunned for a moment.

Your Majesty said just now that he didn't want to care about these things, why now?
But soon, she understood.

This is the first imperial examination in the Tianqi Dynasty, and His Majesty should pay attention to it.

Especially in the current imperial court, the team members are all left by the late emperor. Although His Majesty has also promoted some of his own people, it is not enough.

From the beginning of the imperial examination, it is to select talents, and we must pay attention to it.

So Zhao Lingying confirmed it in her heart.

Perhaps from now on, His Majesty will really form his own team.

Immediately, without any hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Ah."

Wei Yunyi nodded, stood up immediately and said: "Since there is nothing else, I will go to Kunshou Palace to see the queen first."

In the past few days, apart from eating, he spent too little time with the queen.

And the other party is now pregnant again, so she can't go at night.

I can only choose to take a look during the day, when I have nothing to do.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhao Lingying naturally had no opinion.

She is not a person who likes to be jealous.

In addition, I also know that His Majesty has indeed been more diligent in coming to Jingde Palace recently.

It is also necessary to go to see the queen.

Wei Yunyi nodded and left with others.

And for the next two days, he stayed with the Queen in the Kunshou Palace, and he did not forget about alchemy.

But the most important thing is to think about the topics of the imperial examination.

Now that I have decided to make my own question.

When the time comes, the Ministry of Rites will send it over, and it will definitely not pass.

It was just what kind of questions were given to the candidates in the palace examination, but Wei Yunyi had a difficult time.

There is no way, too little reading, and it is really lacking in this aspect.

Until this day, three days before the start of the imperial examination, after the Minister of Rites entered the palace, Wei Yunyi finally thought of what was going on in the imperial examination this time!
