Arknights, are you a good person?

As soon as Ji left, there were only two people left at the scene.

"If our ancestors were half as trustworthy as we are, there wouldn't be any need to go to such great lengths, running around everywhere, and even trying to lure the snake out of its hole." The real dragon shook his head repeatedly.

It's not that he wants to catch up with the bravery of the first true dragon. He just misses the supreme majesty of the founding ancestors. Whatever they say is what it is. It is impossible for them to split into two factions and quarrel with each other.

"If only our ancestors could come back to life and make the final decision."

Zhenlong shook his head and sighed, then looked up at the Taifu's gloomy face and immediately straightened his expression.

"We must catch up!" He clenched his fists, as if he had the world in mind.

"You'd better save it."

The Grand Tutor sighed tiredly, stretched out his hand and threw the twelve crown tassels over like passing the ball.

Zhenlong took the crown and smiled apologetically.

"I will try to keep the noise as small as possible and control it within the range of 100 stoves. Apart from receiving the benefits, Qi Yuan will not be disturbed in the slightest." The Taifu moved lightly, gave instructions for a while, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"That all depends on the teacher."

"..."

"Ah!"

Qi Yuan touched his nose, lowered his head and paused for a while, then looked up at the outing group of officials who had stopped because of him, smiled apologetically, and quickly walked to the front row.

"Write another poem, Master Xiao Qi."

Someone booed.

"Row."

Qi Yuan stepped forward and completely blended into the team of officials. After hesitating for a while, he saw a tall horse suddenly appearing in front of him.

"The spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hooves..."

606: Master Xiao Qi is really observant

The light horse hooves stepped on the official road, and even the late spring scenery seemed particularly proud. In one day, all the prosperity of the capital was seen, just like oil boiling in a raging fire and flowers blooming in profusion.

This is the best way to describe a young man who is full of ambition and satisfaction.

Previously, the Baizao Academy was holding the final exams, and every student was preparing anxiously, worshipping various exam gods, and even placing fresh fruits and vegetables in front of the statue of the Grand Tutor. Today was the day for the announcement of the results, and the students who did well in the exams rented a few handsome and graceful beasts, and had a great time traveling around the mountains and rivers, imagining what kind of official position they would be given.

"Master Xiao Qi is a man of extraordinary talent. We are already yesterday's flowers, and we really cannot understand the state of mind of the young man."

"Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again."

"Isn't this normal? Master Xiao Qi is already a teenager. When he sees these successful students, it's like seeing his past self. He feels something in his heart and becomes a natural."

"really."

Qi Yuan nodded without any modesty, even though he was only nineteen years old this year, while those graduating students who went on horseback outings were at least twenty-three years old and above.

Qi Yuan did not gain nothing from taking the officials on the outing.

You can imagine what will happen if you throw a person who is particularly good at building relationships with others into the company of an official who also wants to curry favor with others. He will be like a fish in water.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Revenue were the most supportive, which was understandable, since they were the Grand Tutor's family members. People from the Ministry of War and Ministry of Works were a bit reserved, but that was also understandable, since their leader, the Grand Marshal, was standing side by side with Qi Yuan at this moment, and they seemed like a family.

Subordinates cannot be more enthusiastic than their old superiors. Doesn't this offend the old leader?

As for the Criminal Department...

Qi Yuan's eyes swept across the group of silent people inconspicuously. After a long period of judging and interrogating, they seemed to be stained with a trace of inhuman fatigue. They were in a low mood and never showed their support.

I don’t know whether it was decided during the trial or during the interrogation?

Qi Yuan recorded it calmly. He remembered that the Grand Tutor had explained the situation of the Ministry of Justice. Compared with the other five ministries which all had people above them, the third minister who represented the punishment had retired himself because his identity was more sensitive.

"I remember that the fragment of the beast of the year, who spoke the law and followed the law, once presided over the Ministry of Justice?"

Qi Yuan walked in front and talked in a low voice with the general.

"She exiled herself. The situation was too bad at the time. Even though she had built the legal system of Da Yan, she could not sit in such a high position. Add to that the incident, and she was also tired."

Qi Yuan nodded.

Although he agreed on the surface, Qi Yuan was thinking in his heart that things might not be that simple.

The death of a giant beast will cause all its powerful creations to disappear, as if they had never existed. Realizing this, it is really too terrifying to allow the fragments of the beast whose power is the law to continue to participate in the formulation of national laws.

What the general said must be a whitewashed version of reality. Qi Yuan still needs to figure out carefully what is going on.

And ask the family members of the person involved.

"I do not know."

Xi, a family member of the victim, answered calmly, not ashamed but proud: "I have never been out of the house, and I have no interaction with my brothers and sisters. I only remember that my second sister was very serious and scary."

Qi Yuan shook his head after hearing this.

"I shouldn't have wasted my time asking you."

At critical moments, the only thing you can rely on is your own brain.

Qi Yuan glanced at the officials from the Ministry of Justice a few more times. After pushing their boss out, the happiest ones must be the subordinates. It is questionable whether there are officials from the Ministry of Justice manipulating this.

It mainly depends on public morality, but there is nothing that can earn public morality today. Qi Yuan was suddenly very depressed, as he had no place to use his martial arts.

Tag Eye, start!

As I walked and looked along, as the seconds passed, one by one, the civil servants had a bright red mark on their heads, with labels appearing on them.

Civil servants are all simple-minded and care particularly about the official hats on their heads.

【A fourth-rank official! 】

【Officials in the capital city! 】

The labels on most officials' heads indicate their current positions. A small number of officials who are ambitious and truly believe they can be ranked among the three highest officials also honestly express this in their labels, without any secrets.

There are also some people who really have lofty ambitions and have such ideas that if they were made public they would get people killed.

The labels of the officials of the Ministry of Justice also appeared in front of Qi Yuan one by one. Qi Yuan exclaimed and discovered something unusual.

Compared to other civil servants who were particularly concerned about the labels of their positions, the labels of officials in the Ministry of Justice were often large and general, and were placed in front of Qi Yuan very directly without any element of showing off.

[A member of the Ministry of Justice] is the identity that most officials of the Ministry of Justice care about most.

Qi Yuan's eyes rolled and he saw everything clearly.

He figured out the reason.

"The extremely strong sense of belonging should come from the leader's strong personal charm, and perhaps a little bit of unfair treatment, which makes the officials of the Ministry of Justice share the same hatred for the enemy."

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan turned around and asked the Taiwei: "How is the treatment in the Ministry of Justice now?"

"Most of the affairs of the Ministry of Justice have gradually been taken over by the Dali Temple. For example, last time in Yumen, you were still a commoner, but the Dali Temple's Junior Secretary Lin Qingyan went to investigate in person. This was against the regulations. The Dali Temple should only have the right to interrogate."

The general spoke slowly and leisurely.

"So that's how it is, it's actually like this..." Qi Yuan nodded, already having the answer in his mind, "The suspicion of the Ministry of Justice can be ruled out."

The people in the Ministry of Justice are indeed strong-willed.

"Ok?"

The general was very confused. He stared at Qi Yuan for a while, very confused.

"Master Xiao Qi."

The old man came up to me and asked in confusion, "Did the Grand Tutor and His Majesty want to have another meeting with you? Is there going to be another dramatic change in the court of Dayan that I'm not aware of?"

The old general always stays out of things.

“They didn’t tell me.”

Qi Yuan said seriously: "I guessed it based on clues. It's very simple."

Lieutenant: "..."

Considering that this person was sidelined by the Grand Tutor and thought he could compete with him until the last moment, such a request was really too difficult for him.

"Where's that one?"

Qi Yuan pointed at the old man in the distance.

He was far away, as if he was out of the matter, and did not participate in any of Qi Yuan's flattery. Of course, Qi Yuan's scanning gaze did not ignore him, [Chief Priest of Bai Zao Academy] was the identity that this old man cared about most.

"He?"

The general shook his head, looking like he couldn't get along with him: "He's an old pedantic scholar who can't even speak clearly. What I hated most in the past was communicating with him."

The chief priest of Baizao Academy, that's what the principal meant.

The fact that the general couldn't get along well with the scholar was consistent with Qi Yuan's stereotype of the ancient soldiers.

607: Taiwei: I have always been a member of the Qiyuan Party

"You don't seem to have such a strong resentment towards the Grand Tutor." Qi Yuan asked curiously.

"That's natural."

The general pounded his chest, prepared a mouthful of spit, and spat it accurately into the trash can on the side of the road: "Although the Grand Tutor is full of etiquette, he turns theory into practice and never talks nonsense. I admire such people very much, but I never look at corrupt scholars who only talk nonsense, because empty talk will harm the country."

Qi Yuan nodded, understanding it all.

"It's true. Baizao Academy used to produce only these corrupt scholars. When the Grand Tutor was young, he ranked first in the exam at Baizao Academy and won the highest honor. He immediately started to reform the school, adding civil engineering, agricultural and other subjects, and recruited a group of people to be teachers. Those old sour scholars were so angry... they shouted that they hated him."

Speaking of the old scholar, the general seemed to be full of anger.

Although this chief priest was definitely not the one the general met when he was young, he represented the type of existence that the general hated the most. He could be said to be a spiritual target.

"You know what, Master, this is a very good move."

The general was so excited that he could not hold back his mouth and kept on talking: "Now, although the sour scholars are still serving as the chief priests, they have no right to interfere with how the teachers teach the subjects. This is more insulting than simply resigning."

To kill someone is to kill one's heart.

"I just can't understand it. He obviously has no power anymore. Students worship the Taifu instead of the Jijiu during exams. Why can an old Confucian scholar still teach so many young Confucian scholars?" The general stroked his messy black and white beard and said indignantly.

"Because criticizing others is against etiquette, it can bring a strong sense of superiority." Qi Yuan explained: "People who have accomplished nothing are in desperate need of a sense of superiority. As long as they do nothing but criticize, they will always be invincible."

“That makes perfect sense!”

The general patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, as if he was treating Qi Yuan as his own substitute.

Who would have thought that despite the close relationship between the two, not long ago, the commander had arranged an assassination on a rainy night in an attempt to put Qi Yuan in an unjust situation?

The good thing about realists is that they are more likely to recognize reality and vote quickly instead of stubbornly holding on and sinking with their own plans.

If Qi Yuan can save Dayan, the general will throw himself into Qi Yuan's camp regardless of everything.

On the other hand, this academy chief priest...

Qi Yuan's eyes fell on the thin old man. The latter's eyes were slightly shining, without a trace of blood in his pupils. He looked at Qi Yuan unwillingly.

"You are a young boy who has no respect for your elders..."

This person is a real old man, the kind of pure old man that can be established without any modifiers. In addition to the fact that Qi Yuan is a Taifu, it is probably also related to the fact that he did not perform the etiquette of a junior.

Qi Yuan's attitude was "we're all brothers", and most officials were quite pleased with it. Some were even relieved, thinking that young Master Qi was easy-going and not arrogant. But Lao Deng obviously didn't think so. He was struggling with the fact that he didn't show courtesy to his juniors.

Qi Yuan’s choice is to respect blessings.

After all, Lao Deng had no ability to take even the slightest countermeasure when Qi Yuan did not perform the etiquette as a junior. He had no way to do anything to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan has always respected the elderly and loved the young, and is willing to give the elderly more opportunities.

He stared at the chief priest and lip-synced casually: "What's wrong with me being disrespectful to my elders?"

Arrogant! No virtue! Arrogant because of being spoiled!

"What can you do?" Qi Yuan continued to respect the elderly and love the young.

----------------------------------------

After strolling for a few hours, the sun set and two moons, one bright and one dark, rose in the sky. The officials' spring outing officially ended.

Qi Yuan was not in a hurry to leave Baizao. He looked around for a while, trying to find a place to stay. It was at this time that Qi Yuan was carefully reminded by an official from the Ministry of Rites that he actually had a mansion in Baizao, which was automatically allocated to him after taking office.

"Is there such a good thing?"
