Chapter 1438 Fuso Shenmu
In the country of Shang, at this time, some people's sentiments were surging, half of the country's luck suddenly disappeared, and the impact was extraordinary. Some scientific research projects that were going well suddenly failed inexplicably, and some commercial cooperation with foreign countries that were about to succeed but were relatively reluctant were terminated inexplicably.
Of course, the biggest change is the weather. In some places, there is heavy rain, in some places, the wind is raging, and in some places, there are even sudden earthquakes and traffic jams.
Although such a change can't have much impact on the development of the Shang country, the impact will still be there after all. People urgently need an explanation from the government. Obviously, this requires Li Xian to come forward.
In the prime minister's mansion, Xie Yuhua looked at Li Xian, also a little puzzled, but Xie Yuhua didn't ask. There must be an extremely important reason for Li Xian to act like this, even the national teacher was seriously injured, and Li Xian will definitely not harm this country.
But even though he didn't ask, Xie Yuhua's eyes drifted to Li Xian from time to time, as if waiting for Li Xian to explain. The same is true of other officials around.
Li Xian thought for a while, then turned to look at Xie Yuhua, Xie Yuhua immediately pricked up his ears.
But I heard Li Xian say: "Xie Yuhua, I am short of a secretary for the time being, you can arrange one for me...arrange a few more."
Xie Yuhua opened his mouth, wanting to go over and step on Li Xian; but now that he is the prime minister of a country, he can only hold back the urge, but rolled his eyes fiercely: "Great virtuous king, the secretary is like this!" Well, if it's a general official's secretary, I can arrange it, of course. But your secretary, I'm afraid you can't just do it casually.
You see, looking at the past six secretaries around you, except for the first five who grew up with you, the identity of Sun Haocai is not simple. Therefore, I suggest that you select the secretary directly after the heroes, which can be regarded as a reward for some heroes. "
After Xie Yuhua finished speaking, many people's eyes immediately brightened. As for the secretaries around King Xian, look at the six secretaries around Li Xian, six of them have been changed in forty years, but all six are now reused. Going to work as a secretary next to Li Xian is a real shortcut to heaven.
But then, everyone looked at each other and became vigilant. Although the secretaries around Li Xian changed more frequently, they didn't change every day; while there were many heroes in the Shang Dynasty.
Li Xian frowned slightly, originally wanted Xie Yuhua to arrange one, but he didn't want to involve these things. Li Xian is very clear that he has too much influence, and the secretary around him, this identity, has extraordinary influence.
In many cases, the secretary next to Li Xian represents Li Xian's will. For example, Sun Haocai, Sun Haocai went to Guangping to build Guangming City. Everyone knew that that was what Li Xian was going to do, so he opened the door to Sun Haocai.
But this is exactly the problem that Li Xian tried to avoid; what Li Xian needs is a secretary who handles affairs and has little influence, but unfortunately, as long as he is a secretary next to Li Xian, he must have monstrous power. The minions of the prime minister's house who guard the gate are equivalent to a seventh-rank official, and the practical secretary next to the virtuous king is as influential as a first-rank official!
Seeing the eyes of everyone around him, and Xie Yuhua pointing out the word "hero", Li Xian had to sigh. He wanted to give the ball to Xie Yuhua, but Xie Yuhua kicked it back and added more food. This Xie Yuhua did it on purpose, this woman is becoming more and more lawless.
Li Xian snorted softly, and everyone immediately stopped discussing and pricked up their ears. Just listen to Li Xian said: "In the future, let's set up a public examination institution in the Prime Minister's Office. After the meritorious officials above the fifth rank, the descendants of officials above the third rank, the top students of Xinghuo University, the descendants of Xinghuo Award winners, and the top 300 businessmen in the country. Descendants, and adults, can take the test.
It is under the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Office and supervised by the Cabinet. The three most outstanding candidates in each exam will be transferred to my side to handle affairs, and the remaining outstanding performers will be arranged by you as appropriate. I want to draw up a charter and submit it to the cabinet for review, and I have to look it over.
So be it.
Such an exam is tentatively scheduled to be held every three to five years, depending on the situation. "
When everyone heard this, although the requirements were more and the competition was fiercer, they were still overjoyed. You must know that Li Xian will be admitted to three candidates this time, and such an exam will be fixed in the future, so everyone has a lot more opportunities. And everyone believes that after heroes and officials, there should be extra points in the heart of the virtuous king.
But before everyone could say anything, Li Xian turned to Yan Ze'an and asked, "Yan Ze'an, what is the situation of Yan Zhengqing's descendants now?"
Yan Ze'an immediately said: "There are three people who are quite good, and they are ready to arrange to enter the army in the near future."
"Choose a suitable one and transfer it to my side."
"Yes." Yan Ze'an responded immediately, his eyes flashed with gratitude and excitement. Finally, I have a plausible explanation for the dead Yan Zhengqing. After this meeting is over, I will pay homage to Yan Zhengqing.
After finishing this matter, Li Xian finally talked about today's business: "Yesterday, the national teacher and I made a blessing with the luck of half the country. I don't know the effect for the time being. This matter, How to announce it to the outside world, let everyone share their opinions.”
Minister of Commerce Lan Baolin stood up, "Your Majesty, I don't know the detailed reasons for praying, etc., can you let us know? This may help us analyze the situation and guide national public opinion."
Li Xian nodded, motioning for Ling Zhifeng, who was still pale, to explain.
Ling Zhifeng stood up, "Let me talk about this matter, praying for blessings is a sacrificial activity that has been passed down for a long time, and it has begun as early as the era of the demon lord.
Praying for blessings is difficult to describe in detail in words, as it involves a huge amount of knowledge. In short, it is to use the luck of the country to bribe the way of heaven and even the avenue.
We know that one of the fifty great avenues is the forty-nine of the heavenly way. In other words, we no longer have the Dao, only the Dao of Heaven. But the way of heaven is not perfect, what should we do? The way of heaven also wants to complete it, so there are sacrifices and so on.
But the way of heaven is the way of heaven after all, and a few sacrifices cannot attract the protection of the way of heaven, so the sacrifice must be larger.
The so-called blessing at the national level is a more absolute sacrifice, using the luck of half the country to bribe the heavens to obtain some kind of asylum. "
"So that's it!" Everyone was stunned.
But immediately some people wondered - has this protection taken effect?
Ling Zhifeng was a little embarrassed: "That's why King Xian and I didn't discuss it with everyone. I can only guarantee that the sacrificial process was successful, but I really can't guarantee the effect.
Just like everyone will offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, guarantee the smoothness of cultivation, etc., but no one knows whether it will really take effect. It can only be said that some people are successful, while others are still insane.
Right now, too. "
Everyone was speechless, so how to tell the public?
Xie Yuhua opened his mouth slowly: "In this way, we can only vaguely communicate with the public, saying that Shang Nation has encountered some problems and crises in its development over the years, and we have to do this for the long-term consideration of Shang Nation."
Everyone heard the words and praised Prime Minister Xie for being so smart. There is nothing wrong with this, so let's do it. Song Xing immediately began to organize manpower to write the manuscript, and he must write this matter in an earth-shattering way.
Li Xian returned to the palace, and soon Yan Ze'an brought a 20-year-old Xinghuo University student to Li Xian's side, and introduced to Li Xian: Yan Wenzhong, the grandson of Yan Zhengqing.
This time, Yan Ze'an chose three good descendants of Yan Zhengqing, but two of them, Yan Fei and Yan Yuan, have military commanding talents and have been assigned to the army; the remaining one, Yan Wenzhong, is capable of scientific research, literature, humanities and politics, etc. Outstanding, Yan Ze'an is also planning how to arrange it in the field. It happened to be sent to Li Xian, and Yan Wenzhong was Li Xian's secretary.
After Li Xian heard this, he looked at Yan Wenzhong who was full of confidence in front of him, and nodded immediately: "Okay, just stay. I will work here during the day, and Yan Ze'an will help you cultivate at night."
"Okay." Yan Ze'an agreed without hesitation. Speaking of which, Yan Wenzhong is also of his own blood, so of course he will work hard.
…………
In Lihuotian, the exploration in Ganyuan is still going on.
Along the way, Xi and the immortals in the palace are mighty. With the help of Shang Guo's technology, there are 100,000 masters in Xihe Hall, and now Xihe has at least 30,000 around him. Such a quantity can be said to sweep everything.
That's all for Zhu Rongdian, because he had sworn an oath before, so he was saved from being robbed - by the way, Xihe felt that he was at a disadvantage, and every time he saw Zhu Rongdian, Xihe's face was not good-looking.
When encountering other Immortal Palaces, 30,000 masters from the Xihe Palace rushed forward, and the rest of the palaces screamed in anger, but they could do nothing. The 30,000 masters frantically swept away everything along the way, even if they encountered a pack of fire wolves like the one at the beginning, they would still sweep them away.
The pockets of the immortals in the Xihe Hall bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye—many masters said one after another, Hall Master, there is not enough storage space!
As for Xihe, he was pleasantly surprised and sad at the same time. It was the first time he encountered such a harvest scene, but the lack of storage space was also a big problem.
At this time, Wang Cong, who had just become Prime Minister Xihe Dian, came up with a bad idea: "Master, we can borrow from other halls, at worst, return the storage space to them after leaving Ganyuan.
And if you encounter orders, just...send them to heaven. "
Xihe turned to look at Wang Cong, his beautiful eyes were full of doubts: "Is this what you guys do?"
Wang Cong replied very simply: "When we do things, we must first consider the domestic people, then consider the royal family, and finally consider the foreign situation.
Given the circumstances, that's what we should do.
If you encounter a large number, grab their storage space and items, and let them go, but you can't leave them weapons!
If you encounter a small number, kill them immediately. "
Xihe narrowed his eyes: "Snatched their weapons and let them go. In Ganyuan, they can't survive."
"But we let them live!" Wang Cong replied with a smile, "Moreover, it can also confuse the public and make the rest of the temples suspicious of each other and unable to unite. The most important thing is to weaken the enemy before the final battle. the power of."
Xihe wanted to say something, when a scout suddenly returned quickly: "Hall Master, I saw the Fusang sacred tree!"
