Chapter 951 The New Deal situation, the imperial examination is about to begin

Yang Qian looked at the divine stone spirit fetus in front of him with satisfaction and nodded. He had no intention of taking the stone fetus as his own. This stone fetus was a great opportunity for others. It could be refined into a clone and owned in one fell swoop. An incarnation of the human-immortal realm, his combat power has greatly increased, and he can even explore the secrets of the acupoints from the body of the stone body to enhance his martial arts realm. However, it is of no use to Yang Qian and he keeps it as his own. On the contrary, it is harmful to oneself. After all, it is a creation nurtured by heaven and earth. The luck is deep. Even if it is refined by others, it will still damage the luck of the person who uses it. People without great luck cannot possess it. This is why spiritual fetuses The reason why it would fall into Hong Yi's hands.

After Yang Gan finished the arrangement, he turned around and left. Soon after, the stone fetus was brought down the mountain by the champion Hou Yun. He arranged a formation to absorb the thunder energy of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth can breed life. With the help of the power of thunder, the stone fetus is hatched, allowing the stone fetus to be hatched. It develops rapidly.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and suddenly there were many more scholars in Yujing City, and their literary talents were even better. Even some of the children who had been carefully cultivated by millennium-old families came to Yujing City one after another in order to participate in this year's imperial examination. .

There are even more undercurrents surging in the capital. From all over the country, more than 9,000 disciples have entered the capital, plus their bookboys, slaves, and maids, there are at least tens of thousands of people. They came to Yujing together, including many talents carefully cultivated by millennium-old families. After passing the exam, they never took the exam again. It was not because they were not knowledgeable, because they could be exempted from taxes. Now that the news of the New Deal came out, they They all came to participate in the examination. The emperor and Hong Xuanji were preparing to refresh the official system, and then implement the new policy of "officials and gentry all receive food and perform corvee services". This new policy touched the interests of the gentry and was intended to weaken the entire aristocracy and gentry of Daqian. , a thousand-year-old family, the power of a century-old wealthy family.

This is simply a confrontation with the entire privileged class. Even the emperor, grand master, human immortals, and ghost immortals are likely to be crushed into powder.

The emperors of the past dynasties are not omnipotent. Ruling the entire world requires the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats, nobles, wealthy families, and aristocratic families to work together to maintain it. Now the emperor has weakened the power of these classes, so that they will not have the power to pick fruits in the turmoil of the world in the future. If you are not careful, the world will be turned upside down and war will be everywhere. Of course, if Emperor Qian and Hong Xuanji can succeed, they can establish a foundation for Daqian that will last forever.

Faced with this situation, even an enlightened person like Hong Yi cannot accept it and just waits to see what happens. There is a reason why Hong Yi neither supports nor opposes this new deal. Although the new deal will hit the wealthy gentry, it will be beneficial to the court. , but with the strengthening of imperial rule, the Taoist masters and martial arts masters in the world will no longer be able to enjoy so many privileges, and will be further controlled, which is unacceptable to Hong Yi.

After all, Hong Yi is also a nobleman. He is a privileged class, so he will naturally safeguard the interests of his own class. He is not really selfless. He also has a desire for fame and gain. What he maintains is the rule of Confucian scholars. He will not be of the same mind as Yang Qian. In the original work, the reason why he fully supports Jade Prince Yang Qian is that he holds the dominant position and the world runs according to his plan. Although it is beneficial to scholars, it is not necessarily true for the court.

Although Yang Qian did not come forward to speak out, he still supported the new policies of Emperor Qian and Hong Xuanji. Although he did not like Hong Xuanji, Hong Xuanji was indeed loyal to the court and was a sharp knife. As a son of the royal family, he naturally favors Emperor Qian's approach, and he should severely weaken the aristocratic families, otherwise it will inevitably erode the foundation of the imperial court and lead to the decline of the national destiny of Daqian.

The idea that officials and gentry should pay grain together and return fire to the public was proposed by Yongzheng in Yang Qian's previous life. After many obstacles and a lot of energy, this new policy was implemented and created a solid foundation and foundation for the prosperous era of Kangxi and Qianlong. The foundation has changed the curse of the Hu regime that has not lasted for a hundred years.

Yang Qian stood in Prince Yu's Mansion and looked up at the clear blue sky. Although the spring thunder and rain had just passed, he could vaguely see the huge dark clouds behind the blue sky. Storms are brewing in the sky, it's a troubled time.

In a few days, news came out that Xie Wenyuan, a great literary master from Nanzhou and Haizhou, two states and fifteen provinces, came to welcome the examination. Xie Wenyuan's moral articles are famous all over the world. Even Ji Changyue, the former number one scholar, studied articles under him. Xie Wenyuan and the former prime minister Li Yan were one hundred and three years old in the south and the other in the great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, he was already a great figure in the literary world. After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, he symbolically took the exam to be a candidate of Daqian to show that he obeyed the rule of Daqian. Then he wrote articles, learned and annotated the works of sages and sages behind closed doors. This person's status in the literary world is as famous as Li Yan, the founder of Xinxue.

A great literary master like Xie Wenyuan has great prestige, qualifications, and profound knowledge. His Qi-nurturing skills are close to those of the ancient sages, and he is not awe-inspiring. For such a person, the emperor should directly grant him a Jinshi background.

In addition, Fang Yuan, a child prodigy from the Fang family in Hengzhou who was a scholar at the age of four and passed the national examination at the age of seven, is now only eight years old and has come to participate in this examination. It can be said that there are ghosts and ghosts gathered together. Because of the New Deal, all of them have been exposed.

In Prince Jade's residence, Yang Qian was practicing a set of Canglang Returning Wind Palm in the garden. There were no changes in the garden, and the flowers and plants were not disturbed.

Hong Yi handed over the invitation and was led to Yang Gan. Looking at Yang Gan's practice, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the void. He faintly felt that the wind and clouds in the world had calmed down a lot, as if they had originally The Yujing City in the center of the storm suddenly became calm, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He also recognized that the Canglang Returning Wind Palm was just a set of innate martial arts skills, but in Yang Qian's hands, it actually directly affected the world. The changes in the world were regarded as wind and waves, which was beyond his imagination of martial arts. This level of cultivation surpassed any master he had seen in the world.

Hong Yi survived the precarious period of weakness because of Yang Qian's protection, and now he has reached the realm of the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal. When he returned to Beijing for scientific research, he naturally wanted to pay a visit to Prince Jade's Mansion.

When Yang Gan saw Hong Yi, he stopped what he was doing and casually let Hong Yi pass, and the two of them sat down in front of the stone table.

Hong Yi seemed to thank Yang Qian for his continued care. He talked about the feeling of returning to Beijing to take the exam. He even talked about Xie Wenyuan, a great literary master he met on Wenchang Street, and expressed his determination to win the top prize. .
