Chapter 160 Everyone comforts Zhao Zhenji, the world is in an uproar, and Duke Yansheng vomits blood!
"It's finally our turn to obtain the immortal magic!" Zhang Juzheng thought in his heart. Like Gao Gong, Hu Zongxian and the other two, they were all looking eagerly at this moment, fearing that they would not be granted the immortal magic.
As for the few people who obtained the immortal magic, although they were looking forward to the rewards at this moment, they were already very relaxed.
After all, they have already obtained the immortal method, and there is also a spiritual field given to them at home. What they lack most now is the natal talisman that can detect the properties of spiritual energy, and the foundation-building pill is too far away for them to use.
As for the conversion techniques that might be used after building the foundation, just like the foundation-building pills, they are too far away from them.
"Yan Song." Jiajing raised his finger.
"Your old minister is here." Yan Song was slightly startled, then immediately sat up, took a step forward and bowed to Jiajing.
"I have seen that you have been cultivating for three years, and now you have even reached the first level of Qi training," Jiajing said, raising his hand and a natal talisman flew out and landed in front of Yan Song, saying:
"It's time to test the spiritual energy properties."
"I think you have already learned from Lu Fang what the natal talisman is and how to use it, so I won't go into details here."
"Inject your spiritual energy into the natal talisman, and your spiritual energy attributes will be detected."
Jiajing naturally knew Yan Song's zodiac sign and attributes long ago, but Yan Song and others themselves did not know.
"All of them." Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, as if waiting to be bestowed with their natal talismans, Jiajing's face widened slightly, and then he swung his hand and a stack of natal talismans flew out.
When everyone saw the natal talisman floating before their eyes, they did not dare to delay and quickly and carefully held it in their hands to catch it.
People like Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou who did not obtain the magic quietly put it away.
Zhao Zhenji, who habitually stood behind the crowd, saw this and silently put away his natal talisman and put it into his sleeve pocket.
He did not forget that he had been hiding his weaknesses and testing his spiritual properties. He could go back whenever he failed to test them.
After that, after detecting the spiritual properties, wouldn’t it be better to report it to the emperor quietly?
The most important thing is that the magic that the emperor had bestowed upon him before was a secret reward and could not be taken out.
If I reveal the fact that I am a cultivator in public at this time, wouldn’t that be stabbing the emperor in the back?
Therefore, before getting the emperor's clear instructions, Zhao Zhenji would never reveal himself as a cultivator in front of others.
Next, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Xu Jie all took out their natal talismans and injected spiritual energy into them.
In the blink of an eye, the natal talismans in everyone's hands showed different effects at this moment.
First of all, there is Prince Yu’s natal talisman. Well, to be honest, Jiajing was quite concerned about Prince Yu’s natal talisman.
After all, it was hard for him to forget the naked woman with thirty-three kinds of images in his mind.
"Bang!" The natal talisman in front of Prince Yu ignited a flame and rose into the sky, and then a tender green sapling grew out of the flame, and finally the words fire and wood appeared.
Looking at such a magical scene, everyone looked at Prince Yu in surprise.
"The dual attributes of fire and wood are the same as Lu Fang." Jiajing nodded.
His destiny is special, but his spiritual attributes are ordinary.
According to what is said in the "General Notes on Cultivation", many special destinies sometimes have very special attributes.
Some of them are attributes that are variations of the five elements, and some are beyond the five elements, each is different.
Jiajing turned his gaze to Prince Jing who was standing next to Prince Yu.
Seeing his father's gaze over him, King Jing quickly injected spiritual energy into his natal talisman. The next moment, a stream of ochre-colored spiritual energy floated out, followed by the appearance of the word "earth".
King Jing's natal star is a treasure bowl, and its spiritual attribute is earth. There is no explanation for this, he is just born that way.
After all, destiny and spiritual energy are all innate.
Afterwards, following Jiajing's eye signal, Yan Song and others also injected their own spiritual energy into their natal talismans.
Yan Song, whose natal sign is a black tiger, has a spiritual attribute of gold. Yan Shifan’s natal sign is a greedy venomous snake, and his spiritual attribute is water. Water is kind and gentle, but can also be strong. Xu Jie’s natal sign is a towering tree, and his spiritual attribute is wood.
Several people looked at their own spiritual attributes and kept them firmly in mind. They secretly decided that after returning, they would arrange the layout and objects of their daily training places to match their own attributes.
Yan Shifan even decided to dig out a piece of open space in his own spiritual field courtyard and make it into a lake!
"Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou," Jiajing naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking. He gave everyone their own natal talismans and continued to call out their names, saying, "You are all meritorious officials. From today on, you will all be granted the method of cultivating immortality."
However, after Jiajing finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, as well as Yan Shifan, who was always keeping an eye on the Qingliu side, could not help but be stunned at this moment.
Did they forget someone? Subconsciously, everyone looked towards the silent Zhao Zhenji at the back.
Even the honest Yan Song and Xu Jie were surprised at this moment that the emperor did not mention Zhao Zhenji's name.
This shouldn't be!
The second phase of the land reform was able to proceed smoothly thanks to Zhao Zhenji.
The most important thing is that the national policy of "concentrating land and reducing clan members" proposed by Zhao Zhenji solved the problem of clan members that the emperor had wanted to solve a long time ago but had no reason to solve.
Logically speaking, among all the people present, Zhao Zhenji had the greatest contribution, so how could he be forgotten?
No, that’s not right. It’s not that I forgot, it’s that I didn’t mention it!
After coming into contact with the cultivation of immortals, everyone knows that for cultivators, both physically and in other aspects, they have completed a transformation, so there is no such thing as forgetting.
That means the emperor deliberately did not mention Zhao Zhenji!
Why? Was it because Zhao Zhenji had offended the royal family? Did the emperor want to use him as a target? For a moment, everyone was guessing.
Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other imperceptibly without saying anything, then they lowered their heads and began to think in their hearts.
There is no trivial matter in the imperial court's political discussions. They can no longer guess what the emperor is thinking, so they will pay extra attention to his every move.
Something is wrong that Zhao Zhenji was not granted the immortal magic!
Of course, no matter what Yan Song and others speculated in their minds, they would never have thought that the reason why Jiajing did not call Zhao Zhenji's name was not because of any warning or suppression.
It was entirely because Zhao Zhenji had been rewarded with immortal magic before.
He didn't have so many thoughts in his mind at all.
However, even if Jiajing knew it, he would not explain it to everyone. If you want to guess, then just guess.
"Your Majesty, we thank you!" Although everyone was surprised that the emperor did not mention Zhao Zhenji's name, any thought was only a fleeting thought in their minds, and their reaction was not slow at all.
"Lu Fang, give them the magic." Jiajing ordered.
"Yes." Soon, Lu Fang took out the 'Qi Inducing Technique' that he had copied long ago from his storage bag and distributed it to several people one by one.
Looking at the few thin pages of paper in his hands, even Zhang Juzheng, who always paid attention to his gentlemanly manners, couldn't help but tremble all over.
Gao Gong wasn't in much better condition either. The pupils in his round tiger eyes were trembling slightly, and his chest was heaving.
Three years, three full years!
God knows how they spent these three years, working very hard, fearing that anything might go wrong with the court.
Although both of them were granted the title of immortal officials and were granted spiritual fields, it can be said that they would definitely embark on the immortal path in the future. However, they would not be able to practice immortality until the immortal method was bestowed upon them.
Especially after seeing that Yan Song and his son, and Xu Ge Lao and his son, had already broken through to the first level of Qi training and truly achieved the difference between immortals and mortals, they had already been jealous to the point of vomiting jealousy!
Now, the immortal magic has finally been bestowed, and they can embark on the immortal journey.
As for Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou, their performance at this moment was not much better than that of Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, even though all three of them were veterans of the battlefield and had seen many storms and life and death.
No one can say no to immortality and cultivating immortality, and no mortal can remain calm at this moment!
"Stand up," Jiajing said, and then looked at Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou. Then he slowly spread out his palm, and saw the imperial seal spinning.
"Everyone in the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department has already been conferred the title of Immortal Official of the Immortal Dynasty. Now it is your turn."
The body of an immortal official of the Immortal Dynasty? !
Hearing these words, Hu Zongxian and the other two looked at each other, their eyes trembling, their breathing quickened, and then they knelt on the ground again and thanked loudly:
"We bow down to thank the Lord for His great grace!" As they said this, the three of them kowtowed directly on the floor, making loud bangs.
Although these three people are from the New Party, they all have people behind them.
Behind Hu Zongxian was Yan Song, behind Wang Chonggu was Prince Yu, and behind Yu Dayou was Prince Jing. So before the three entered the cabinet, the matter of cultivating immortals was no longer a secret.
They also have a better understanding of what it means to be an official in the Immortal Dynasty.
Even though they have entered the cabinet and have been rewarded with magical powers, they are still unreliable if they are not granted official titles.
Being an official in the Immortal Dynasty meant that the Ming Dynasty would become the Immortal Dynasty in the future, and people like them would truly be among the immortals.
So, how could they not be excited when they heard that the emperor was going to give them immortal official positions?
"Buzz buzz buzz!" The imperial seal flew out of Jiajing's palm, flew above the hall, and then under the gaze of everyone, came above the heads of Hu Zongxian and the other two.
The next moment, Jiajing waved his hand, and everyone was surprised to see that the imperial edicts for Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou to enter the cabinet were summoned to their eyes as if they were taking objects from the air.
Such a move once again shocked everyone.
If the emperor can summon the imperial edicts from the three people's homes with just a wave of his hand, doesn't that mean other things can also be obtained with just a wave of his hand?
So, how far does the emperor's move cover?
Or does it mean that as long as they are within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, everything can be summoned and dismissed at will?
A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture. The skill that Jiajing inadvertently revealed made Yan Song and others even more shocked and awed.
At this moment, everyone had a feeling that before they cultivated immortality, seeing the emperor was like weeds seeing a green mountain, but after they cultivated immortality, seeing the emperor was like an ant in the sky.
The emperor is too mysterious and his methods are too unpredictable!
Last time, the shuttle carried everyone across the ocean. This time, with just a wave of the hand, everything belonged to him.
As the imperial edicts of the three people were opened in the hall and stamped with the imperial seal, the golden imperial edicts sank into the three people's sea of consciousness, and Jiajing also saw the three people's true destiny.
Hu Zongxian's natal sword is an ancient, unsheathed, and ordinary looking long sword.
Wang Chonggu's natal symbol is a large dark green bow with three sharp arrows floating next to it.
The last one is Yu Dayou. Well, Yu Dayou’s original destiny is quite special. He is actually a black dragon with a single horn on his head.
"Everyone, get up." After conferring the title of immortal official, Jiajing waved his hand, signaling everyone to get up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Zongxian and the other two stood up and returned to their original positions.
"Okay, the rewards have been given," Jiajing said, raised his finger, and said, "I have something to inform you."
When they heard that the emperor had something to inform everyone, their expressions immediately became serious and they listened attentively.
“In the near future, I will plant spiritual veins throughout the capital, and then I will lead a branch to the homes of all of you in the cabinet for your cultivation.” Jiajing said, his tone gradually becoming serious.
"By then, the spiritual energy will be several times denser, but you must remember that the spiritual vein is the foundation for the development of our Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed. No one is allowed to dig and destroy it privately!"
When everyone heard Jiajing say that he wanted to plant a spiritual vein in the capital, they were stunned. They didn't understand what this spiritual vein was.
However, after hearing that the spiritual energy would be several times denser, everyone was not calm. They had actually felt the difference in the concentration of spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy in their house was completely different from that in the Lingtian Courtyard.
They were all cultivators, and with Lu Fang's narration, they naturally knew that the richer the spiritual energy, the faster the cultivation speed and the faster the realm would grow. Not only that, the spiritual resources grown in the spiritual fields with rich spiritual energy would be of better quality. The higher the quality of the spiritual resources, the faster the cultivation speed would be after taking them.
They were naturally surprised to hear that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased, because this was related to their vital interests.
However, everyone soon caught another key point in the emperor's words, which was to plant spiritual veins throughout the capital!
Doesn't that mean that the entire capital will be filled with spiritual energy? Does that mean that as long as someone obtains the cultivation method and is in the capital, they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice?
"It seems you have all thought of it," Jiajing nodded and said, "However, in order to prevent excessive waste of spiritual energy, I will place restrictions in the spiritual veins to ensure that the spiritual energy loss of the spiritual veins is reduced."
"But even so, the physical fitness of the creatures living in the capital will improve over time. Some birds and beasts, or poultry, may also benefit from this."
“Although it won’t cause a change in body shape like directly taking spiritual resources, it’s inevitable that some unusual phenomena will occur.”
"At that time, we must also pay attention to the security of the capital, and provide proper guidance to the people to avoid panic."
Jiajing had considered the revival of spiritual energy. In the past three years, in addition to practicing in seclusion, he also read a lot of ancient books about "Death Star", "Spiritual Veins" and "Spiritual Energy".
According to some ancient records, Dazhu Academy once planted a first-grade spiritual vein on a dead star outside Arcturus, and recorded the entire process of how a "dead star" was revived.
The entire process lasted for exactly three thousand years.
In the first year, because the chosen death star was relatively small, the first-grade spiritual vein was sufficient to cover it, so the spiritual energy began to dissipate that year.
After that, within ten years, the spiritual energy on the entire "Death Star" had become very abundant.
However, over the next several hundred years, apart from the flowers, plants and trees growing bigger and stronger under the nourishment of spiritual energy, there was no change at all and they did not meet the standards of spiritual plants at all.
In addition, birds and beasts are still unable to completely transform into ancient beasts and are still mortal beasts.
After a thousand years, the academy introduced ancient beasts and spiritual plants to the 'Death Star', and intentionally guided the ancient beasts to combine with ordinary beasts, and the spiritual plants to combine with ordinary plants and trees, to cultivate new bloodlines.
And so, another thousand years passed.
The bloodlines of ordinary beasts began to degenerate, and new species of ancient beasts appeared.
Some mundane plants, combined with spiritual plants, blossomed and bore fruit, and after planting, new spiritual plants were born. After the third thousand years, this "death star" was, strictly speaking, revived.
Therefore, the revival of spiritual energy is not just four simple words, nor is it just about having spiritual energy.
That is to say, there must be inheritance in the bloodline, and then the "immortal" and the "mortal" can combine to give birth to a new bloodline and complete the transformation.
Therefore, Jiajing was not worried about the revival of spiritual energy in his Ming Dynasty, which would then lead to mountain spirits and ghosts causing chaos in the world.
Before this, the army of spiritual beasts that Yan Song mentioned were, to put it bluntly, just mutated ordinary beasts cultivated by spiritual creatures, and their essence had not changed.
If Daming wants to introduce spiritual plants and ancient beasts, it cannot do without blood grafting. But there is no rush for these, and we need to take our time.
All things are difficult at the beginning. Now the Ming Dynasty has completed the last step towards becoming the Immortal Dynasty. As long as Yan Shifan's reforms are completed, the next step will be for the Ming Dynasty to officially announce the day of its march towards the Immortal Dynasty!
This day may come in five years, or it may be in ten years, but Jiajing can wait, and everyone can wait.
"Yes, I obey the order."
As my thoughts were wandering, the voices of the crowd rang out.
"As for what this spiritual vein is," Jiajing said, raising his finger and said, "For the time being, you can simply understand it as the source of the birth of spiritual energy."
"The reason why there is spiritual energy between heaven and earth is because of the existence of spiritual veins."
Is that so? Of course not!
In the world of cultivating immortals, spiritual energy naturally does not appear because of spiritual veins. Spiritual veins appear only after spiritual energy exists.
However, for the Ming Dynasty, the future will be spiritual veins first and spiritual energy later. It is not bad that Jiajing made everyone understand this.
"Xu Jie," Jiajing looked at Xu Jie below him again, "Is your son Xu Fan the Minister of Works?"
When everyone heard Jiajing asking about Xu Jie's son, they all turned their eyes to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie was also very confused at this time. He didn't know why the emperor would mention his good-for-nothing son for no reason.
However, despite his thoughts and doubts, Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, after rectifying the administration of officials, my son has now been appointed as the Minister of Works."
When talking about the Minister of Works, Xu Jie felt a little embarrassed.
After all, his son Xu Fan, who is not even forty years old, is already the Minister of Works. If he says that there is no blessing from him for any reason, I am afraid no one will believe it.
But now that the emperor asked, he had to tell him.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan snorted lightly, and the contempt on his face was not concealed at all.
They say that his Yan family formed a clique for personal gain? Xu Jie's son is now less than 40 years old and has already taken the position of Minister of Industry. Is there something fishy going on here? What is this? Abuse of power for personal gain?
Yan Shifan looked around at the Qingliu group. When they were stared at by him, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji all looked away silently.
There is no way to say anything about this. After the previous rectification of the civil service, the two factions started to promote talents and get officials to take sides early on.
Xu Fan was also pushed to the position of Minister of Works, after all, he was the Vice Minister of Works before that.
"Has he cultivated immortality?" Jiajing asked again.
"Your Majesty," Xu Jie, who didn't know what the emperor meant, could only bow again and said, "My son and I started cultivating immortality on the same day, and now we have also reached the first level of Qi training."
When Jiajing heard Xu Jie say that Xu Fan had also broken through to the first level of Qi training, he was not surprised. It had been three years, and Xu Jie had broken through to the first level of Qi training. As long as Xu Fan was not too bad, he should also be at this level.
"Yes," nodded Jiajing, and raised his hand. The next moment, a one-foot-long, two-inch-thick, kraft-paper-style ancient book appeared, and then floated in front of Xu Jie, saying:
"This book is called 'Records of Immortal Craftsmanship'. It records some of the mechanical techniques and craftsmanship of the 'immortal world'. You hand it over to him," Jiajing said, raising his finger and said, "I will give him three months to read it and write a memorial."
"Yes!" After hearing that the emperor wanted to use his son, Xu Jie hurriedly held the "Record of Immortal Craftsmen" in both hands.
Mechanical skills and craftsmanship from the "immortal world"? !
When Yan Shifan heard that the emperor actually gave it to Xu Jie's stupid son Xu Fan, he became jealous.
There was envy in everyone's eyes when they looked at Xu Jie.
Of course, Yan Song's focus at this moment was different from that of others. He heard the word "immortal world".
He became more and more certain that the emperor had indeed entered the "immortal world", which was why he received help from the immortals.
At the same time, Yan Song became more and more certain in his heart that when the Ming Dynasty expanded to a certain extent, the emperor would definitely plot to conquer the "immortal world".
"Okay, we've said everything that needs to be said. Let's go. Prince Yu and Prince Jing stay..." Jiajing waved his hand and stood up, walking towards the side hall of Yuxi Palace. Prince Yu and Prince Jing followed silently.
Everyone knelt down to see them off, and then left Yuxi Palace one after another.
"Shaohu..." When Xu Jie and others were about to leave together, Yan Song, supported by Yan Shifan, suddenly called Xu Jie.
Except for Yuxi Palace, in the wind and snow.
Three groups of people stood still, forming a triangle.
Yan Shifan and Hu Zongxian stood on Yan Song's left and right. Opposite him were Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji. Next to him were Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou.
Not far away, at the foot of Yuxi Palace.
Chen Hong, Huang Jin and Shi San stood still and silently looked at the now torn cabinet.
Huang Jin and Shi San remained silent, while Chen Hong sneered and said, "See, it's dog-eat-dog, it's going to be fun from now on."
Hearing this, Huang Jin glanced at Shi San, then said, "The people in Xuanpu Palace are still waiting for my service, so I'll take my leave now." After that, he turned around and walked into the snowy wind.
"Humph!" Chen Hong snorted coldly as he watched Huang Jin's back disappear in the wind and snow. "You are just a toady! You used to please Eunuch Lu, but now you are trying to please the Imperial Master. What a mean person!"
Hearing this, Shi San smiled and said nothing. He just politely cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Chen, there are a few young eunuchs who have been sent to the palace. They need to be arranged to practice immortal martial arts..."
"Go, go." Chen Hong waved his hands impatiently.
Seeing this, Shi San bowed politely, then turned around and disappeared into the wind and snow.
"An incompetent person!" Chen Hong was disdainful. He looked down on Shi San's smooth attitude of not offending anyone.
"Lord Yan, what's the matter?" Xu Jie looked at Yan Song who called him and nodded slightly.
"Ha," Yan Song smiled and bowed, "Nothing much, I just wanted to congratulate Shao Hu.
Xu Fan is a kind-hearted boy with noble character. It is a blessing that he deserves to be favored by the emperor, haha..."
"You are too kind, Lord." Xu Jie smiled and nodded, his attitude very humble. "Compared with the young Lord, he still has a lot to improve."
When Yan Shifan heard Xu Jie praising him in person, he forced a smile but did not say anything.
Although he was very powerful in the hall, he still maintained the proper courtesy of cabinet elders when meeting them in private.
Unless the fight turns to death, I will not give the cabinet's deputy prime minister the cold shoulder.
"Huh? Haha..." Yan Song smiled and waved his hands, "Everyone has their own expertise. Shaohu, don't underestimate yourself."
"This 'Records of Immortal Works' records the miraculous skills of the 'immortal world'. The emperor gave it to Xu Fan, which must mean that he values him..." Yan Song paused and said:
“Shao Hu, after the Ming Dynasty has carried out reforms, it will probably enter the stage of the Immortal Dynasty, and then the “New Imperial College” will inevitably be established.
With all the philosophers and scholars gathered together, this "Records of the Immortal Works" is the perfect treasure for the academy."
"If Xu Fan could compile the Records of Immortal Works into multiple volumes for the benefit of hundreds of scholars, his contribution would be immeasurable."
Hearing Yan Song say this, everyone had different expressions, but Xu Jie remained humble and said, "What the elder said makes sense. Such a 'magic book' cannot be controlled by one family."
"It must be passed down to future generations!"
Hearing Xu Jie's words, Yan Song smiled and said, "Haha, good, Shaohu has this heart, it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
Having said that, Yan Song looked at everyone and nodded, then waved his hand to signal Xu Jie, who was about to bow to see him off, not to be polite, and then left with the support of Yan Shifan and the company of Hu Zongxian.
"Lord Xu, we are taking our leave as well." After watching Yan Song and his son leave, Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou looked at each other, stepped forward to salute Xu Jie, and at the same time gestured to Zhang Juzheng and others.
"Well, the snow is heavy and the road is slippery, so be careful." Xu Jie said in a gentle voice with a kind look on his face.
Wang Chonggu and Yu Dayou nodded, then turned and headed out into the snow and wind.
After watching everyone leave, Xu Jie stopped for a long time.
"Lord, what does Yan Song mean?" Zhang Juzheng asked loudly at this time.
Hearing this, Xu Jie pondered for a moment and said, "He is telling me not to keep the "Records of Immortal Craftsmen" to myself, and hinting that I should take the initiative to make it public and teach it in the future "New Imperial Academy."
"This old villain is probably coveting this 'immortal work'!" Gao Gong said coldly.
"He is right. After this method is compiled into a book, it will definitely be used to train more talented craftsmen for the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty wants to develop into an immortal dynasty, it cannot do without these immortal craftsmanship techniques."
"If it is kept privately in one family, the emperor will also be dissatisfied."
Hearing what Xu Jie said, Zhang Juzheng and others were thoughtful. At this time, Xu Jie looked at the silent Zhao Zhenji and said:
"Meng Jing, the emperor didn't give you the magic, maybe there are other reasons, don't take it to heart, wait a while, I will help you to find out what Eunuch Lu has to say, I'm sure he knows."
When they heard Xu Jie comforting Zhao Zhenji, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, they realized that, yes, some of them were still neglected.
"Meng Jing," Zhang Juzheng said to comfort her, "Lord Xu is right. There must be something hidden. You have been conferred the title of an immortal official and have been granted spiritual fields. This shows that the emperor recognizes you."
"That's right, Meng Jing, don't be discouraged!" Gao Gong also spoke to comfort her.
Seeing several people asking about his well-being, Zhao Zhenji's pupils turned slightly red. He nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
"Thunder and rain are all the emperor's grace. I have been an official for so many years, so I can see it. Don't worry about me... I have served the emperor for so many years, and I believe there must be a deep meaning behind it."
As he said this, Zhao Zhenji smiled as if he didn't care.
However, this look, in the eyes of everyone, seemed to be somewhat indescribably lonely and helpless.
Seeing this, everyone didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.
After all, they all obtained the immortal method and were about to embark on the path of cultivating immortality and become immortals, but others did not. No matter how much you say now, it will be suspected of being sarcastic.
After a moment's silence, everyone left in their sedan chairs.
……
During the political discussion in Yuxi Palace, Yan Shifan proposed the national policy of "initiating innovation". At the instruction of Jiajing, the news spread like wildfire.
In just over ten days, it quickly swept across the entire Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Yan Shifan's words and deeds of criticizing Confucianism, advocating the Hundred Schools of Thought, and abolishing the Duke of Yansheng were infinitely magnified.
For a time, there was an uproar inside and outside the government.
Countless scholars gathered together to discuss the issue. Well, they were the most excited.
After more than ten years of studying, poring over eight-part essays, and forgetting to eat and sleep, you now propose to reform the imperial examination system and promote the study of a hundred schools of thought? Then all the previous learning was in vain? Who will take responsibility for this?
Yan Dang, Yan Shifan, is indeed an evil ghost!
For a time, people all over the world became more and more fierce in their abuse of Yan Shifan.
Among them, most were students and scholars.
Of course, there were those who opposed and those who supported. When many people from the lower classes heard Yan Shifan's proposal that scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans could all go to school and that the household registration system should also be reformed, they felt that they saw hope.
The children of military households could take the imperial examinations, and the children of merchants could become government officials.
There were also various schools of thought, which emerged like mushrooms after a rain at this moment, and they began to roam around the world and talk about it.
For a moment, the entire Ming Dynasty was bustling, and this bustle was filled with a hint of life and vitality.
Jiajing always paid attention to his own destiny, so he could naturally feel the vitality and vitality that burst out from the anger most intuitively.
At the same time, in Qufu, Shandong, in the lobby of the Kong family.
"How shameless! How shameless!" An old man with white hair and beard looked at the letter in his hand and trembled with anger.
This old man is none other than the contemporary Kong family, Duke Yansheng!
"Yan Shifan, you thief Yan, you have humiliated my Confucian school and my Kong family. I, you and I, will never coexist...Puff!" As he said this, the excited Duke Yansheng spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky.
Suddenly, everyone in the Kong family was shocked and panicked.
"..."
