Chapter 145 The Queen's Beloved
Zhang Xintong spent three days reviewing all the test papers and selected 35 people. Among these 35 people, 12 were from the Prime Minister's faction. Zhang Xintong planned to assign them some idle positions.
There are 23 people left. Gu Yan has already checked the information of all the candidates. There is absolutely no problem with these 23 people. You can use them with confidence.
After Zhang Xintong announced the results, she sent out the 23 selected people.
Two years later, all military power was returned to Zhang Xintong. Gu Yan was also arranged by Zhang Xintong to work in the military camp in the capital. He is now in charge of the security of the capital.
The little emperor is already 4 years old. The imperial teacher is a royalist and teaches the little emperor very attentively.
The little emperor is very busy every day. He has a lot to learn. Not only does he have to learn the art of being an emperor and martial arts, but he also has to learn poison techniques from Zhang Xintong.
In Zhang Xintong's words, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. If you know poison, no one can harm you.
Zhang Xintong's business has been very prosperous in the past two years. Not only is it enough to feed the army, but there is also a lot left over. The Queen Mother's small private storehouse is getting fuller and fuller.
With the military power, the following things will be much easier to handle. Zhang Xintong issued another imperial decree to resume the imperial examination this year.
The Great Qi Kingdom has not had an imperial examination for several years. Since the last emperor ascended the throne, the Prime Minister suggested that the recommendation system be adopted in the future. Now there are many people in the court who have no knowledge but have become officials because of their connections.
As soon as the news spread, students all over the world were excited. They had studied hard for many years just to pass the imperial examination one day. The cancellation of the imperial examination had left students with no hope.
Now that the Empress Dowager has restored the imperial examination, giving hope to students all over the world, Zhang Xintong's voice is getting louder and louder.
The Prime Minister wanted to stop this, but as the saying goes, fists are the hardest thing to do. Zhang Xintong now holds military power, and the military camp in the capital is also Zhang Xintong's people. The Prime Minister dared not resist.
The imperial examination went smoothly without any problems. Zhang Xintong appointed a royalist as the chief examiner. This imperial examination brought fresh blood to the court.
Zhang Xintong replaced many ministers who did not do practical work, among whom the prime minister's faction accounted for 80%
Six years passed like this, and the little emperor was already 10 years old. Although he was young, he was smart, hardworking and motivated since he was young, and he was already able to manage the country well.
Zhang Xintong left the position of Prime Minister to the young emperor and stopped ruling the country from behind the scenes.
The first thing the young emperor did after he took charge was to change the prime minister. The original owner's father was already old and had little power left over the years. After the young emperor changed the prime minister, he retired and returned home. This was a good result. He did not die tragically like in his previous life.
After the Prime Minister retired and returned home, Zhang Xintong did not deal with him. He had pursued power all his life, and now having nothing is the best punishment.
The previous dynasty had a little emperor, so Zhang Xintong no longer had to worry about anything. She spent every day hanging out with Gu Yan in the harem.
The young emperor already knew that Gu Yan was his biological father, so he could only turn a blind eye to the affair between his mother and Gu Yan.
Zhang Xintong has not learned any skills in this world. It's a pity to waste such a good time. In the last world, she learned various musical instruments. In this world, she only learned chess.
Zhang Xintong and Gu Yan studied chess together. Gu Yan was just a secret guard before, and all he learned was how to protect the emperor and kill people. He never learned how to play chess.
Zhang Xintong was much better than Gu Yan, at least she knew a little more, but after they started learning chess, Zhang Xintong never beat Gu Yan.
Zhang Xintong was very angry. How did Gu Yan's head grow? He was so smart. Could it be that his son was so smart because he inherited his talent?
Zhang Xintong used to think that her son looked like herself. Now that she thinks about it carefully, her son really looks like Gu Yan. Whether it is his appearance, his behavior or his intelligence, he is just like Gu Yan.
Zhang Xintong lived to be 75 years old in this world. She did not take anything before she passed away. There were too many things in her space. She lacked nothing.
All the money earned from business over the years was left to the emperor's son
"Little 9, the next world"
"Okay, Tongtong."
Zhang Xintong opened her eyes and found herself in a room. A man in white clothes was sitting on the upper floor with his eyes closed. There was a faint golden light on his body. He must be practicing.
Zhang Xintong sat at the bottom, and they were the only two in the room.
"Xiao 9, transfer the original owner's memories"
"OK, transmission begins, time paused"
The original owner is also called Zhang Xintong. This is a world of cultivating immortals. The sect where the original owner belongs is the Jade Sword Sect. The one who just sat on the upper hand to practice is the original owner's master Mo Yan.
The original owner's mother, Zhang Susu, had been engaged to her master, Mo Yan, since she was young. They were supposed to become Taoist couples and cultivate together, but she later fell in love with the original owner's father, a demon, and resolutely eloped with him.
The original owner's mother, Zhang Susu, was abandoned by the devil after she had the original owner. Because of Zhang Susu's escape from her relatives, the original owner's grandparents no longer recognized this daughter.
After being abandoned, Zhang Susu became lonely and helpless. Her Dao heart was destroyed and she could no longer practice. Because of the original owner, Zhang Susu did not want the original owner to suffer with her. She had no one to trust, so she could only find Mo Yan.
The two have known each other since childhood. Zhang Susu knows that she has let Mo Yan down, but she has no one to turn to, so she can only entrust her child to Mo Yan.
After Mo Yan brought the child back to the sect, Zhang Susu committed suicide. She no longer had the courage to live.
The original owner was raised by Mo Yan, and Li Qingqing also grew up with the original owner. Li Qingqing is the child of Mo Yan's sister. After Mo Yan's sister achieved great success in cultivation, she ascended to the upper realm and left this child behind.
Mo Yan's sister did not say whose child it was. After Mo Yan's sister ascended to heaven, Mo Yan was responsible for taking care of Li Qingqing.
Mo Yan spent a lot of effort to raise the two children, and both girls respect Mo Yan very much.
The cultivation realm in this world is divided into 5 levels, namely Qi training, foundation building, Dan formation, Yuanying, and Shen transformation.
Each level is divided into ten levels. The original owner is 25 years old and has already trained at the seventh level. Li Qingqing is 28 years old and has trained at the ninth level.
The original owner's master, Mo Yan, is 101 years old and has already entered the Nascent Soul stage yesterday.
The life span of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is only slightly longer than that of an ordinary person. The life span of a cultivator in the foundation building stage can reach 200 years, the life span of a cultivator in the core formation stage can reach 500 years, the life span of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can reach years, and the life span of a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation stage can reach years. When a cultivator reaches the tenth level of the Spiritual Transformation stage and successfully transcends the tribulation, he can ascend to the upper realm.
Today, Li Qingqing went out, and only Mo Yan brought the original owner to practice here. In a while, the original owner and the master will use Chinese medicine, a medicine for dual cultivation. The original owner's cultivation is low, and he can't resist after being hit. For some reason, the original owner's master also couldn't control himself. The two of them practiced dual cultivation here for a long time.
When Li Qingqing came back and saw her uncle and her little sister practicing together, she couldn't accept it and ran away.
Mo Yan and the original owner searched for Li Qingqing for a long time before finally finding her at a demon cultivator's place. Li Qingqing's body had been defiled by the demon cultivator, and her Dao heart had been destroyed, so she could no longer practice.
Mo Yan killed the demon cultivator and returned to the sect with the original owner and Li Qingqing.
Because he could not practice and became a useless person, Li Qingqing was depressed after returning. Li Qingqing had a deep affection for the original owner and his uncle, and was a very kind person. Although it was a bit awkward, he still accepted the fact that his uncle and the original owner were practicing dual cultivation.
