I'm a scumbag

Chapter 505 Hard fight
Zheng Da was not jealous of Ning Chen's rapid progress, but felt very relieved.

Zheng Da felt that introducing Ning Chen to martial arts was the most correct thing he did for martial arts.

The only thing that makes Zheng Da feel uncomfortable is that Ning Chen has started to be lazy about martial arts again. Although he has reached the level of cultivation, he is completely unwilling to learn any moves and does not have actual combat martial arts.

In fact, it's not that Ning Chen doesn't want to learn some self-defense moves, it's just that Zheng Da's moves don't have any aesthetic feeling at all, and the name sounds very brainless.

Thousand ox claws, bull tops, fire ox legs...

Those who know this are moves, those who don’t know think it’s a recipe.

The key is that Zheng Da also said it seriously, saying that although the name is not pleasant, it is easy to remember.

What can Ning Chen say about this, all he can say is that it is really easy to remember.

Early the next morning, Ning Chen, who was full of energy, was ready to welcome a brand new day for himself, a power minister and courtier.

Although Wu Zhao didn't fully accept his suggestion, after today, Ning Chen is confident that he will definitely become the public enemy of all officials.

In the early court, Emperor Shun really didn't even show his face.

There was only Wu Zhao, who sat on the position of the crown prince on the lower floor of the dragon chair.

After the beginning of the early dynasty, Wu Zhao officially announced the new appointments of Lin Dunxin and Ning Chen.

Although I knew it last night, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

In addition to the new appointment, it is the matter of General Li's expedition and the official conferment of the parachutist.

The generals scolded him again, Li Xiaozi has too many thoughts.

After clarifying the matter of the appointment, Wu Zhao also announced the new version of the official examination system that Ning Chen had talked about last night.

This version is still somewhat different from what Wu Zhao told Ning Chen last night.

Although Wu Zhao didn't fully accept Ning Chen's suggestion, he still absorbed some things and added them to his exams.

His Highness' civil and military officials all knew that after Wu Zhao came up, he would make some big moves.

It's just that I didn't expect that this first step would be such a big step, and it would directly make such a big change to the officials' examinations.

And everyone has checked themselves. If the new examination method is followed, most of them will not be rated as high, but it will be difficult for them to fall.

In this case, at least one-third of the officials are facing demotion.

At first everyone thought that Wu Zhao would only target individual people, but now he targets all officials.

This first sharp axe is nothing short of insignificant.

The new left minister, Lin Dunxin, after Wu Zhao finished speaking about the new examination method, held a wat board: "Your Highness, I have something to say."

Wu Zhao said gently: "His Highness's new examination method, although better, is also more perfect.

But now that there is a temporary replacement, the minister is afraid that there will be riots.

At that time, all the officials will be afraid and only focus on the new exams, which may delay political affairs. "

Wu Zhao nodded: "Prime Minister Zuo is right. I asked my father for instructions this morning, and my father said the same thing.

So I discussed with my father that the implementation of this new examination method will be postponed for [-] days. "

This is a major event, even if it is postponed for [-] days, there is still not enough time for Baiguan.

As the head of the officials, Prime Minister Zuo must stand up and fight for everyone's interests if he wants to win the support of the officials.

"Your Highness, I think the time is still too short." Zuo Xiang said again.

Wu Zhao's attitude was still gentle and not at all forceful: "When does Prime Minister Zuo think it is feasible to implement it?"

Although gentle, but it must be said that Wu Zhao's wrist is indeed powerful.

The two sentences are straightforward, turning the question of execution and non-execution into when to execute.

Lin Dunxin frowned slightly, only then did he realize that he had fallen into the trap of Wu Zhao's subordinates.

"Your Highness, I think this is a major matter, and I should discuss it as appropriate. Although I am the left chancellor, there is no right chancellor. If the minister can sum it up in one word, it seems that the minister is too arbitrary." Lin Dunxin directly found a reasonable person reason, to circumvent the past.

But this was also within Wu Zhao's expectation.

"The left minister reminded me very much about the candidate for the right minister. I also discussed it with my father.

Both my father and I are interested in Wang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Shangshu as the right minister.

Ben Gong also talked about this with Wang Shangshu, and Wang Shangshu also expressed his confidence in being promoted to the position of right minister. "

Understatement directly determines the candidate for the right prime minister.

This candidate was beyond everyone's expectations, including Lin Dunxin.

It's not that Lin Dunxin doesn't care about the candidate for the right minister, but Lin Dunxin knows that if he wants the left minister, then the right minister will not have the final say.

In Lin Dunxin's mind, there are actually several candidates who guessed.

But Wang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, is definitely not in his guess.

The reason why he didn't think about Wang Lin was not because Wang Lin served in the Ministry of War.

Although Wang Lin served in the Ministry of War, Wang Lin was not a martial artist, he also came from Confucianism.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the Ministry of War is at the bottom of the six departments.

Among the six ministers, the Ministry of War ranks last.

In addition, in the past years of the Great Wu Dynasty, Emperor Shun practiced Taoism, and the national treasury was short of money. Except for the border defense, there was a shortage of military equipment everywhere.

And the border guards are not under the control of the Ministry of War, so the Minister of the Ministry of War has the least sense of existence in the court.

Lin Dunxin thought about many people, but he never thought that Wang Lin would partner with him.

"Minister Wang Lin, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and thank Your Highness for your support." Wang Lin heard that he was touched, and immediately accepted it.

"Now that the cabinet is full of members, I still need to bother the left minister to lead the cabinet to come up with an implementation time as soon as possible." After solving the problem of the right minister, Wu Zhao directly forced Lin Dunxin to express his opinion.

Lin Dunxin frowned, only to realize that Wu Zhaoyuan was not as easy to deal with as he thought.

But fortunately, I am now the head of the hundred officials, and I have been acting as the left minister for these years, so there are still many supporters.

Therefore, Lin Dunxin didn't think that things were too difficult.

As for Wang Lin, Lin Dunxin intends to take another look, using this matter as an example.

"Sir, obey."

Wu Zhao looked at Ning Chen again, who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood: "After the execution time is determined, Dr. Ning will start the exam."

"Sir, obey." Ning Chen immediately agreed cheerfully.

Wu Zhao really didn't know why Ning Chen was so happy that such a position that offended someone might even become his victim was handed over to Ning Chen.

But no matter what, it is good if someone is willing to take over this position.

Anyway, the current position I gave Ning Chen can be regarded as compensation for Ning Chen.

After the dynasty dispersed, Lin Dunxin was surrounded by most of the officials.

A small group of officials also gathered around Wang Lin to congratulate him.

As for Ning Chen, he left alone.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to please Ning Chen, but that they can't be too obvious.

Everyone knows that Ning Chen is the last person to execute and possibly the most powerful person.

But trying to curry favor with Ning Chen right now, it will be true.

It is best to go to Ning Chen in the dead of night.

Ning Chen did not forget what Kong Jijiu told him.

After the court was over, he went straight to the Imperial College.

Guozijian is next to the imperial city, and its area is also second only to the imperial city.

Although Guozijian's sacrificial wine is more powerful.

When Ning Chen arrived at the Imperial College, he showed his badge, and was taken to see Kong Jijiu.

Although the Guozijian occupies a large area, the division of each area is very reasonable and orderly.

Each area is a separate teaching area.

There are six enlightenment teaching areas in the Imperial College: Ritual, Music, Archery, Royal, Book, and Mathematics.

After the enlightenment teaching, everyone has two choices.

Either take the imperial examination to become an official, or enter the army to accumulate military exploits and become a marquis and general.

Or you can also choose to continue your studies. As for the route of further studies, there are currently two.

One is the Confucian practice system, and the other is the Wufu practice system.

Now because of Emperor Shun, he also joined the Taoist practice system.

However, if you choose the Taoist practice system, you will not be able to study in the Imperial College.

The Taoist practice system is just a sign in the Guozijian.

Mainly the former two systems.

Although I choose to study, the final result is nothing more than entering the court as an official and entering the army as a soldier.

But because you have advanced studies, if you add your entry.

Then your starting point is different.

For example, in the normal imperial examinations without entry, if you get a champion, just like Ning Chen, at most you will be compiled by the Hanlin, and then you will get your qualifications in the Hanlin, waiting for redistribution.

The Confucian students of Guozijian can directly enter the Yushitai as the Yushi, or directly enter a certain ministry or department with real power.

The same is true for the martial arts system. A qualified martial artist, in the army, at least starts as a school lieutenant, not a big soldier.

But the previous enlightenment is free, and there are even subsidies.And the subsequent training will cost money.

There are still a lot of flowers, whether it is the Confucian system or the martial arts system, they all exist like gold-swallowing beasts.

Therefore, those who choose to study are basically the second-generation officials, the second-generation military, or the disciples of rich families.

It is basically hopeless for ordinary people to enter this path of cultivation.

Unless you are particularly talented and get the approval of the sacrificial wine, you can study for free.

As we all know, Jijiu is basically not in the Guozijian, so this road is basically blocked.

So to put it bluntly, advanced studies are the places where these second generations are gilded.

At the same time, these second generations are also an important source of finance for the Guozijian.

Emperor Shun couldn't even control the military equipment, let alone the Guozijian.

With the existence of these second generations, the life of Guozijian is very comfortable.

Of course, don't look at how domineering these second generations are outside.

In the Imperial College, they were very obedient.

There is no other reason, but because the sacrificial wine here, his surname is Kong.

A person who can easily abolish their generation of fathers if they want to.

So no matter how old you are, you must be honest in the Imperial College.

Otherwise, Kong Jijiu will show you what unreasonable pretense is.

After passing through these areas, Ning Chen finally saw Kong Jijiu, who was in a spotless white robe, in the elegant and quiet courtyard at the back, which looked like a paradise.

It must be admitted that Kong Jijiu is very in line with the psychology of pretending, whether it is in terms of personal taste or clothing.

In terms of appearance, Kong Jijiu belongs to the top.

Of course, Ning Chen also recognized his good looks. Originally, Ning Chen's good looks were good enough for fighting, but now he is even better after practicing martial arts.

If the Great Wu Dynasty held a beauty pageant, it would be no problem for Ning Chen to rank in the top five.

Besides, if Kong Jijiu would not threaten with force, it would not be impossible for Ning Chen to rank first.

"Master Jijiu." Withdrawing his divergent thoughts, Ning Chen bowed his hands respectfully.

"This should be a tea room." As Kong Jijiu exhaled, Ning Chen found that the place they were in had turned into a tea room with a very high style.

The two cups of tea on the table were still emitting heat.

It must be said that the Confucian system really provided Kong Jijiu with a lot of pretentious material.

"Don't be too surprised, it's just a trail." Kong Jijiu said to Ning Chen lightly.

Ning Chen nodded: "It's indeed a trail."

"If it were me, I would say that this place is a shabby room. Then, on top of the shabby room, put a couplet 'This is a shabby room, only my virtue'."

For Kong Jijiu, Ning Chen is not used to it.

Anyway, Kong Jijiu wouldn't kill himself because of his failed pretense.

Kong Jijiu listened to Ning Chen's words, and nodded in agreement: "This place should be a shabby room."

Then the scene changed, and it directly turned into a hut.

Then what Ning Chen said just now became the couplet of the shabby room.

"What do you think is still missing? I can change it."

When Kong Jijiu said this, his expression was so calm.

It was so calm that Ning Chen felt that he seemed to be the owner, and Kong Jijiu was a dedicated decorator.

But looking around, Ning Chen felt very fucked.

I am a worthless Wen Chaogong, and then you want to waste me, a useless Wen Chaogong.

"Master Jijiu, won't your conscience hurt?"

Kong Jijiu picked up the teacup in front of him very naturally: "Do you think, if you go out now and say that I copied you, will anyone believe it?"

This... is really amazing.

Ning Chen showed the appearance of a saint, but Kong Jijiu has been famous for many years.

In everyone's deep-rooted cognition, Kong Jijiu will never do it, and even more disdain to copy Ning Chen.

"How can Master Jijiu copy it? Master Jijiu is just showing his true temperament." Ning Chen also picked up the tea in front of him, then tilted his head to the side, avoided it, and was suspended in front of him for less than five years. centimeter sword.

Tea into the stomach, the sword disappeared.

"Good tea."

Ning Chen approvingly said to Kong Jijiu.

"Snapped!"

Ning Chen's butt was slapped hard by the futon under his butt.

"Ow!"

With a scream, Ning Chen stood up, looked at the futon, and looked at Kong Jijiu angrily.

Kong Jijiu put down his teacup and explained, "Although I don't know what you mean, I feel that you might be scolding me."

This... feels so sharp.

"Sit." Kong Jijiu gestured to Ning Chen.

"It's okay, I can hear it clearly even when I'm standing." Ning Chen didn't want to be spanked by the futon.
