To the north of Jiutian, there is Longtu Pavilion in Tianquan Palace.

Four little fairies are watching a Star Lord writing in front of a bookcase. This Star Lord wears a black hat, a green robe, and three flowing black beards under his chin. He is the master of this palace—

—Wen Quxingjun.

Just listen to the boy in gold say: "Master, your handwriting is already very good, why are you still not satisfied?"

The kid in black on the right side of Wenquxing Jun pressed the corner of the paper and said, "Yes, Master, this is the fifth time you have written these words."

A kid in yellow clothes on the left, who was also pressing the edge of the paper, said: "Master's handwriting is definitely otherworldly and exquisite. I'm afraid even all the gods in the entire Heavenly Palace can't compare to Master."

Another boy in white with a mark between his eyebrows carefully studied Xingjun's calligraphy and said, "That's natural. If our master hadn't been the best in poetry, literature, calligraphy, and painting in the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, the Jade Emperor would have

How can we let our master be in charge of the cultural movement of the three realms?"

These four boys are the four disciples of Wenqu Xingjun, they are the pen boy, the ink boy, the paper boy, and the inkstone boy.

Wenquxingjun stopped writing and glanced at them: "You don't know that Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole has always been dissatisfied with the plaque on the door of his palace. He was ridiculed by the Antarctic Immortal a few days ago. This time he specially asked

I want to write a good plaque. Ziwei Emperor

He has a distinguished status. If he doesn't have a good plaque on his palace gate, it would be very shameful. Besides, he is my boss, so this cannot be done carelessly." After that, he "brushed" over what he just wrote with a big pen.

With one stroke, he began to rewrite the four characters "Zhongtian North Pole".

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Where is Mr. Wenquxing?"

When Wenqu Xingjun saw it, it turned out to be an angel sent by the Jade Emperor. He hurriedly stopped writing and ran out to greet him. He cupped his hands forward, but the angel said: "Xingjun, there is no need to be polite. I am just conveying the Jade Emperor's instructions. The Jade Emperor will hold a court meeting tomorrow."

, all the immortals from all mountains, seas, caves, and prefectures within the Three Realms will participate. I ask Xingjun to make sure there is no mistake tomorrow."

Wenquxing Jun said: "Is it so grand? May I ask the angel, what day is tomorrow? Why did the Jade Emperor hold such a large-scale court meeting?"

The angel said with a straight face: "You will know when you go. I have to rush to inform Mr. Wu Quxing that I will stay soon. You can prepare yourself."

As the saying goes: The prime minister's disciple is a third-grade official. Although this angel is not high enough, he is quite arrogant. Wenquxingjun wanted to keep him for tea, but before he could speak, the angel disappeared.

"The Jade Emperor's angels are so incompetent!" Mo Tong said angrily.

Yantong said: "The Jade Emperor has not held a large-scale court meeting for a long time. I wonder what happened this time?"

"I don't know, my teacher, but there must be something important to announce." Wen Quxingjun had no intention of writing any more plaques, "I won't write any more today. You guys should pack up your desk and get some rest early."

Early the next morning, Wenquxingjun came to the Nantian Gate early and found that many gods and goddesses had come from the southeast, northwest, heaven and earth, and famous mountains all over the world. They were all waiting outside the Nantian Gate. Some of them were whispering, and some were whispering.

They were silent, but no one made a loud noise. After waiting for a while, all the immortals arrived. The Taibai Golden Star flashed out of the Nantian Gate and spoke to the immortals in a long voice: "Pass the Jade Emperor's oral message to all immortals.

Your Majesty, please come to court."

The immortals walked into the Nantianmen in order of status. Wenquxingjun had an average status among the immortals and could only stand in the middle of the group. After entering the Nantianmen, he saw auspicious clouds lingering, auspicious mist fluttering, golden dragons circling jade pillars, and colorful phoenixes.

Covered bridge.

Cranes danced to each other, and unicorns breathed flames. Entering the Lingxiao Palace, everyone stood in order. The golden light shone in the middle of the palace, and the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Haotian Golden Tower sat above him. Behind him, two fairies stood on the left and right holding feather fans.

The Jade Emperor looked down at the immortals who crowded the Lingxiao Palace, and said: "Dear immortals, I have called you here for no other reason than because many immortals have committed crimes recently.

Tian Tiao was punished by Yousi, leaving many immortal positions vacant, and no one was in charge of their duties, resulting in chaos in these areas and affecting the normal operation of the three realms. Therefore, the Heavenly Palace must select some people to register as immortals and rank among the immortal classes.

There is no restriction on origin or person in this selection.

, objects, as long as they are spiritual and have immortal roots, can be selected." The Jade Emperor paused for a moment, looked around at the immortals, and continued, "Such a large-scale selection of immortal books has not been seen in thousands of years.

All immortals should seize the opportunity. If there are suitable candidates under your sect, you can actively recommend them. The total number of places is eighteen, and the places are distributed according to the Eastern Tiangong, Southern Tiangong, Western Tiangong, and Northern Tiangong, three for each department, and six for the Central Tiangong.

name……"

As soon as the Jade Emperor said this, he saw three dazzling golden lights, and three immortals flashed out of the Lingxiao Palace, namely Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. These three immortals had silver beards and hair, and their hair was white.

Surrounded by auspicious light, the aura is very strong

Da is the most supreme immortal ancestor in the immortal world. When the immortals saw the arrival of the three immortal ancestors, they hurriedly knelt down and worshiped. The Jade Emperor also stood up and said in his mouth: "I didn't know that the three immortal ancestors were coming, so I didn't greet them. I apologize.

, forgive me."

Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly bowed his head and said: "How dare you, how dare you. My three brothers have lived in high heaven for a long time and have never been involved in the affairs of the three realms. They have nothing to do except practice every day. Today I have nothing to do and come down to look around. I don't want to be so busy today, hahahaha."

The sound was rich and resonant, with extremely strong penetrating power, which made all the immortals feel numb.

The Jade Emperor thought to himself: The three of them have already jumped out of the Three Realms and are no longer in the Five Elements. The conference was held today and they were not notified. How could the three of them suddenly come? The Immortal Book is only opened once in thousands of years.

Is it such a coincidence that the Sanqing Tianzun, who has never descended to the sky once in thousands of years, came together for the supplementary conference?

Yuanshi Tianzun first signaled to the immortals to avoid the ceremony and then said: "The Jade Emperor is in charge of the three realms and works hard every day. It's really hard on you."

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor hurriedly smiled and said: "The words of the Great Heavenly Lord made me very frightened. It is my duty to be in charge of the three realms. How dare I talk about hard work?"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and smiled, then glanced around and said, "All the immortals gathered together today. Why?"

"Oh - just because many immortals have violated the rules of heaven recently and been punished, resulting in the vacancy of certain priesthoods, so today we gathered all the immortals to discuss adding more immortal positions. I just explained to the immortals that as for the allocation of quotas, there is still

I’m not sure, the three Heavenly Lords came at the right time, so I’d like to ask the three Heavenly Lords for their instructions.”

"Hehehehe." Yuanshi Tianzun smiled, "Jade Emperor, the three of us have jumped out of the Three Realms long ago and don't care about the things in the immortal world. Since the Three Realms are handed over to you, you are the master of heaven and earth, and everything is decided by you...

…”

The lingering sound lingered, and before the Jade Emperor could react, the three Heavenly Lords had already turned into three rays of golden light and disappeared.

After the three Heavenly Lords left, the Jade Emperor could not calm down in his heart: The three of them never come down for no reason... Could it be that they are here because of the Immortal Enrollment Conference? - It must be! Although the Three Realms belong to me

In charge, the three of them have become Heavenly Immortals, but seven out of ten in the Heavenly Court system are their disciples, and all high-level positions in Heavenly Court are monopolized by their disciples. And although I have experienced thousands of calamities, according to the Heavenly Book,

Zai is destined to dominate the three realms, but

I don't have many connections of my own, I'm just an agent. Although they have never interfered with my management of the Three Realms, nor have they favored their disciples, the situation is different once it comes to supplementing the Immortal Column. Because this will

Affecting the proportion of their disciples in the heaven, not to mention the large number of people this time, the action is a bit big, how can they not pay attention... Okay, but even if the action is small, this matter should

How should we deal with it?”

At this time, the Jade Emperor glanced around His Highness Lingxiao and saw Wenquxing and Wenchangxing in the middle and back positions. His eyes finally fell on Wenquxing. Hey, there you have it. Wenquxing is in charge of the world's cultural fortunes. I heard that in the lower world,

He has already combined his literary career with his official career, why don't I ask him?

Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor shouted loudly: "Where is Lord Wenquxing?"

When Wen Quxing heard this, so many distinguished immortals did not say anything. The Jade Emperor actually called his name first and left in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the immortal is here."

"No courtesy." The Jade Emperor chuckled, "Wenquxing, in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the world was public, and all tribal leaders and chiefs elected capable people to serve. Later, the great road was hidden, and the world was private. There was no distinction between high and low.

Farewell, worldly ministers, worldly wealth, the noble will be noble from generation to generation, and the humble will be humble from generation to generation. The three princes, the princes

, scholars and ministers are inherited from generation to generation. This has caused great inequality and many people have complained. Since your disciples shouted out the phrase "learning and excellence will lead to officialdom", you connected "learning" and "official"

Come on, I appreciate it very much, so I put you in charge of the world's cultural fortune. It has been hundreds of years, I wonder what the effect is now?"

Wenquxing said: "Xiaoxian thanks Your Majesty for your trust in me. Since Xiaoxian took charge of the world's literary fortune, he has been committed to combining 'wen' and 'officials'. 'Wen' is inseparable from 'officials', and 'officials'

It is also inseparable from 'literacy'. Only 'literature' and 'officials' can have a future; 'officials' and 'literature' can make the people more submissive."

The Jade Emperor nodded: "Please tell me carefully."

Wenquxingjun has not reported his work to the Jade Emperor for a long time. Today, I asked him to report to the Jade Emperor the situation of the literary fortune in the lower realm that he is in charge of: "The fortune in the world is all-encompassing, and the fortune in literature is just one of them. On the New Year's Eve, the world is in chaos.

The princes are rising together and the court is weak. At this time, all positive fortunes are in decline.

The same is true for cultural fortunes, which cannot be promoted even if they want to. Before Qin Shihuang, except for hereditary nobles, most of the ways to enter the officialdom were through land creation and military merit. The more cities and territories were conquered, the greater the official salary would be. Later, heroes in the world continued to emerge.

, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Wu Emperor Liu Che brought peace to the world, and the world was peaceful - of course, this

These fortunes are all under your control. Once fortune is prosperous, hundreds of fortunes are prosperous, and literary fortune is no exception. Xiaoxian took advantage of this opportunity and implemented the inspection system. As soon as this move came out, many discoveries were made in the Han Dynasty

A capable person managed the Han Dynasty in an orderly manner, making it famous all over the world and attracting all nations to come to court. This not only made the country prosperous, but also made the country more prosperous.

It made people all over the world take pride in reading, and the literary movement has been prosperous for a long time. However, the so-called major events in the world must be united if they are separated for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. Later, the national destiny of the Han Dynasty declined, the politics was dark, nepotism in government officials, coupled with constant wars, the people were displaced, resulting in

It is no longer possible to observe clearly, and it is just a formality."

"The great man's strength has been exhausted. I have known this for a long time. So, what year is this in the world?"

"Your Majesty, the lower realm is now the Ganlu period of Cao Wei."

The Jade Emperor said slowly: "Cao Wei, Cao Wei cannot achieve great success. After Cao Wei, there can be a short-term unity, but it will not last long, and then the world will be divided for hundreds of years. During this period, your cultural fortune will be

How to arrange it?”

Wenquxingjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, as the Chao Ju system has become a mere formality and cannot truly function, Cao Wei Shangshu ordered Chen Qun to reform the Chao Ju system and create a law for nine-rank officials."

"Huh? What is the effect of the implementation of the Ninth-Rank Officials' Law?"

"The Ninth-Rank Official Law has not been implemented for a long time, and the effect is still unknown. Xiaoxian is about to send someone to visit the lower world."

"Well, okay, report the results to me as soon as you have them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mr. Wenquxing returned to his seat.

"Ahem." The Jade Emperor cleared his throat, "Dear immortals, you have all heard what Wenquxingjun said just now. The way to obtain officials and scholars in the lower realm is not static, and the additions to our immortal books are also consistent with those in the lower realm.

Just like when you are an official or a scholar, you have to try hard.

Everything should not be arbitrary. The original plan for this conference to recruit gods was to complete the selection at one time, but the step was a bit too big. So I made a temporary decision that all priests will be recommended first, inspected, and then selected in stages. I don’t know what you think.

?”

All the immortals looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to say anything. After a long time, Taibai Jinxing broke the embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming." After hearing this, all the immortals also hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
