Chapter 555: Three Old Men Arrive
Prince Dan raised the glass wine cup in his hand. Although the glass wine cup was worth a fortune, compared with the target of this assassination, no matter how valuable the treasure was, it was not worth mentioning.

All you have to do is throw the wine glass down, and the masters lying in ambush all around will rush forward and chop the King of Tang sitting in the main seat and the beauty beside him into minced meat!

For this plan, Prince Dan contacted almost all the masters he could. Even if King Tang was extremely powerful, he could never be the opponent of so many masters.

"By the way! The king has a few guests, Xiaodan, go greet them!"

But before he could smash the cup, he heard King Tang's order.

You are Xiaodan, your whole family is Xiaodan!

Prince Dan felt extremely sad and angry as he felt like he was being treated like a servant. This damn King Tang was such a disgrace.

He is a noble, a top noble! The Crown Prince of Yan State, if it weren't for the bastard King Tang who suddenly appeared, he would have inherited the throne of King Yan in the future!
Even if Yan State was indeed only slightly better than Han State, it was still a kingdom after all. How could it endure such humiliation?

So Prince Dan was furious!
Angry for a bit!
There was no way. The King of Tang was paying attention to me now. If I broke the cup and he noticed it, something might go wrong.

After all, the other party is an enemy country of one person, even if it is South Korea, which has the weakest presence and the weakest strength!

Therefore, Prince Dan thought it would be better to let the other people in ambush take action. He wanted to be the King of Yan, and it would be bad if he was targeted by the other side.

You must know that this time in order to deal with King Tang, all the remnants of the people from all over the country and the scattered masters have gathered together. No matter how high King Tang's martial arts skills are, he will definitely die!
However, considering the strength of the King of Tang, it should be no problem to take a few away before he is killed.

Prince Dan said it didn’t matter whether other people died or not, as he couldn’t die anyway!
He also needs to keep his useful body to build the State of Yan!

So Prince Dan had no choice but to stand up and walk out the door, hoping to take the opportunity to get away from this place of trouble.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Prince Dan was stunned.

This is?

This?
Three old men came to the door. They all had white beards and looked like they were about to die.

But!
When Prince Dan looked at these three old men, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating!

"Ji Dan has met the Immortal Bei Ming, has met the Saint Xun, and has met this father-in-law!"

That’s right, the three old guys standing here are the Taoist Bei Mingzi, the Confucian Xunzi, and the Yin-Yang School’s great master Huang Shigong.

The assassination of Prince Dan brought together the masters of the six countries, as well as the masters of the school of diplomacy, the school of agriculture, the school of Mohism, the school of names, etc. Even the Confucian and Taoist sects sent people to participate.

That's why Prince Dan felt that he could kill the opponent with one strike. Even if the opponent was a golden immortal, he would not be able to withstand such an attack.

But now?
"The three elders are here to kill the evil thieves?"

Prince Dan no longer hid anything. Now that things had developed to this point, what else was there for him to hide?
"We are invited to the banquet by the King of Tang!" Xunzi sighed slightly and looked at Prince Dan with eyes full of pity.

With this IQ, you still want to go against King Tang?

As a saint recognized by today's people, Xunzi originally had no intention of interfering in the political affairs of various countries.

He is just a scholar who wants to change the world. As for those political messes, let the kids worry about them!

But after the King of Tang met him, Xunzi changed his mind.

The smartest people have always wanted to change the world and make it a better place.

This is not intentional flattery. Not to mention top figures like Xunzi, even those emperors who were a little more ambitious actually had the dream of making their country rich and their people strong.

However, even though one has reached Xunzi's level, there is still no definite method as to what to do next.

Just like a group of people in the late Qing Dynasty had no idea what method to use to save the country, the current chaotic situation is also unprecedented!
The late Qing Dynasty was said to be the most radical change that had not happened in three thousand years, but now there is no concept of the so-called country and the world. The world is only divided into four provinces: mountains and rivers. If the State of Yan had not been the legitimate descendant of the Zhou emperor because its heirs had not been destroyed, it is estimated that a cold and bitter place like Jicheng would have been included in the scope of the Northern Di.

After talking to the King of Tang, Xunzi saw the light, and the worry that had troubled him for many years was instantly resolved.

It’s not that Li Qingyuan is smarter than Xunzi. After all, in terms of IQ, Xunzi’s score is at least several dozen percentage points higher than his.

But who can blame the Tang King for having more than two thousand years of experience?

The imperial examination system alone was enough to make Xunzi feel its charm, especially since the King of Tang also decided to let him help compile teaching materials, which would be the content of future imperial examinations.

According to the Tang King's idea, most officials in the future will be selected through the imperial examination. The content of the imperial examination is all-encompassing, with questions from Confucianism, Taoism, military science, Yin-Yang school and other schools, in order to select the most suitable talents.

The imperial examination system in later generations has enabled the Chinese nation to maintain a far-leading international status. The reason for its backwardness in the later period was, on the one hand, that the Manchus were indeed inhumane, and on the other hand, that Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to consolidate his own family empire, directly compressed the imperial examination into the Four Books and Five Classics, which shackled everyone's thinking.

You should know that although the most important subject in the imperial examinations during the Tang and Song dynasties was the Mingjing subject, there were also subjects such as Mingfa (law), Mingsuan (math), Ci Lü and Wujing. Although these secondary subjects were not as popular as the Mingjing subject, they also guaranteed the development of these scientific processes. There were even special physician grading examinations, so that people could be put to the best use of their talents!

However, in order to stabilize his own power, Zhu Yuanzhang simply cut off all the secondary departments. Even a profession like imperial physician, which was extremely dependent on talent and skills, could be inherited by the next generation. It is really beyond reproach.

Bei Mingzi, who had been staying in the mountains and not planning to move, and Huang Shigong, who wanted to find a successor, could no longer sit still after hearing Li Qingyuan's remarks. After all, even the Taoists, who were known for their inaction, actually wanted the world to understand their own profoundness.

Even saints have to fight for the opportunity of the great way! In the past, it was absolutely impossible to implement the so-called imperial examination system, because the nobles in various places directly controlled the government and the local areas, and the monarch was just a spokesperson jointly promoted by everyone!
Yang Guang took too big a step and ended up in trouble. Even Qin Shihuang, who was known as the first emperor, would have ended in disaster if he dared to directly implement the imperial examination system.

Therefore, even if a great man like Xunzi has realized the importance of the imperial examination, promoting it in the current environment is absolutely a dead end.

Even if he is revered as a modern saint, as long as he dares to take this lead, he will be attacked as a heretic by all the nobles in the world in minutes!
