Xiao Cheng picked up the tea cup in his hand, raised his hand slightly to Susu who was sitting opposite, and chuckled:
"Recently, the imperial court intends to open a new yamen, named Si Tianjian, which is responsible for astronomy, calendar, and weather. Among hundreds of schools, the Yin and Yang School happens to be good at this. If Mr. Xusu is interested, he can fill this position!"
"Si Tianjian?"
Hearing this, Susu looked thoughtful, and couldn't help but start thinking about this government agency.
Just from the history books, this Si Tianjian seems to be a bit arrogant and unreliable, and his presence is not too high. But in fact, this position is extremely important in the ancient background.
Calculating calendars and summarizing the weather changes in a year can serve as a natural measure of timekeeping, allowing people to farm and produce at the right time. Not to mention the importance of observing weather.
Even observing the stars, which seems a bit confusing, can roughly predict the time of solar eclipses, lunar eclipses and other heaven and earth phenomena, minimizing the panic of the people and preventing them from being incited by bad people.
Not to mention, the stars in this world seem to be able to reflect something...
Although this Si Tianjian sounds like he has no real power and is unable to effectively spread the influence of his own theory. But Susu understands very well that this Si Tianjian can be used as the foothold of the Yin Yang family in the Yun Kingdom court.
No matter how the situation in the court changes in the future, the Yin and Yang family will always have a way out!
Thinking of this, Susu lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Being able to be used by the court and make what I have learned benefit the people is what my Yin Yang family wants, so it is my duty to do so! It's just that my body is too old and too old to be an official."
As a ninth-level master, Suxu is the best in the world. At this time, it would be a bit ridiculous to say that his body is old and decrepit.
And the reason why he said this was just to understand Xiao Cheng's thoughts and find excuses to shirk it.
Nowadays, hundreds of schools in the Yun Kingdom have no foundation. In order to spread their own ideas, each school will surely compete to show its secrets and show the young emperor in front of him how great a role its school can play in governing the country.
Since Xiao Cheng is determined to make use of the power of hundreds of schools, he will definitely not reuse any school at this time to make it the dominant one in the Yun Kingdom court, because this will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm of the other schools.
The sect leader of the Yin Yang family surrendered and joined the imperial court to serve. Even though he entered Si Tianjian, who did not have much real power, how could the other hundreds of families, as well as the civil and military officials in the imperial court, figure out Xiao Cheng's thoughts?
Xusu raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Cheng with a slight smile on his face. He did not feel dissatisfied at all because of his rejection. He felt a little reassured and spoke again:
"If you don't give up, my Yin Yang family will have talented people who can serve the country!"
Ever since Xusu entered the Yun Kingdom, he had seen everything with his own eyes and already understood in his heart that under the leadership of the young emperor in front of him, the Yun Kingdom would definitely be able to achieve something. There is no hope that in the future, troops will be sent out from Tiannan to unify the world.
Moreover, although the Yin-Yang School's cultivation methods follow a different path from Taoism, they are all based on personal thoughts and understanding of the principles of heaven and earth, and are most sensitive to changes in heaven and earth. During this period in Yun Kingdom
, through various things, Susu has concluded that unknown changes have occurred in this world.
Previously, the secret technique of the Yin and Yang family, "Guan Xin Pu", could observe people's visions. However, it is said to be visions, but in fact, it should be called the manifestation of human nature under the response of the heaven and earth. Looking at it is like looking at water.
The thing is slightly illusory.
But what Xusu saw in the Yun Kingdom, whether it was the young emperor in front of him, or the visions above the heads of sages such as Sima Hui and Pang Degong, seemed more real, as if something supernatural was appearing, and there were even signs of a condensed entity.
In Zhongqing City, there are rumors that Xiao Cheng and Hui Qi are the true dragon emperors and the incarnated Buddha.
Sang Pan also said that in the court of Yun State, there were civilized officials who were not skilled in martial arts. They were suddenly able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to repel thousands of people. The army of Yun State rushed into battle to kill the enemy, and their fierce killing spirit was condensed.
The shapeless beast's appearance reveals its miraculous powers and helps the army resist the rain of arrows.
And since Susu came to Yun Kingdom, he has also experienced it personally. It seems that the shackles between heaven and earth on his body are gradually loosening. The bottleneck that has been trapped for more than ten years has recently begun to break through.
premonition.
Thinking that he was on Wuling Mountain, his mind suddenly moved, and he was drawn by it, and he had the urge to come to the land of Tiannan in person. Susu even concluded that all the changes between heaven and earth were caused by the young emperor's ascension to the throne.
After that, it just started!
Susu doesn't understand the promotion of world status, but he knows that the opportunity for great changes in the world is right in front of him, how can his Yin Yang family miss it?
When Xiao Cheng saw Xu Su nodding in agreement, a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Okay, I am very happy to have the Yin Yang family's wise men working for me!"
After Susu made his promise, when the Yin Yang family sent its disciples again, there were only two or three big cats and kittens.
And just like the herd effect, how could the other schools of thought be willing to lag behind when they saw the Yin-Yang family coming here?
It can be predicted that the imperial examination held by Yun State this year will definitely harvest more talents from hundreds of schools.

In Tingwei's Mansion, after Song Ci heard the news of Emperor Rouning's disappearance, he immediately showed a look of regret on his face and turned around to leave. But before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped and stood there, pondering:
"Let me explain first, why are you missing?"
Dongchang Fanzi, who came to report, heard this and said quickly:
"The brothers at the State Guesthouse said that under the care of the imperial doctor in the past few days, Emperor Rouning's body has gradually recovered. Today, Emperor Ji heard from someone that there was a grand ceremony being held in the city during the Lantern Festival, so she wanted to go out and relax.
General Nan and the envoy Guo Duyi tried to dissuade her, but they couldn't make the emperor change her mind. Finally, King Qi also started to help persuade, and the two adults had no choice but to reluctantly agree..."
Song Ci looked ugly and said:
"Then after coming out, Di Ji disappeared!"
"Yes, yes..."
When Song Ci heard this, he gritted his teeth, raised his legs and walked away, saying in his mouth:
"Search the Xia Kingdom's envoys carefully to see if there are any traces of anyone in the envoys. Also, go to the palace immediately to ask for an order, and ask Your Majesty to seal the four gates, dispatch the imperial army, patrol battalions, and city defense battalions to search the city!"
Yan Song on the side was stunned, couldn't help but follow him, and whispered:
"Sir, it doesn't have to be like this. Today is the Lantern Festival, and all the people in the city are out having fun. If the commotion gets too big and spreads, it will be disrespectful to the country!"
What Yan Song meant was that the missing Princess Rouning was most likely the substitute that King Qi had found for his sister.
Even if a substitute dies, it won't do any harm. After that, as long as he has a showdown with King Qi and asks him to hand over the real Emperor Rouning, this matter can be treated as if it never happened.
If the fuss gets bigger and people find out that Emperor Rouning and Concubine Yun have suddenly disappeared, who knows what kind of words will be spread.
Hearing this, Hai Rui frowned tightly as he looked at Yan Song's appearance. He looked at Yan Song with a hint of disgust and said:
"Not to mention, this is a human life! Let's just say that the identity she holds at this time cannot be compromised."
Yan Song was choked by Hai Rui's harsh words.
Song Ci walked quickly without stopping and said:
"That's right, no matter who she is, the identity she holds now is crucial! King Qi, and the forces behind the scenes, don't care who she is. As long as outsiders recognize her identity
, I must definitely use this identity to make a fuss!"
Although I don’t know what kind of article they want to do, it is obviously not a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Yan Song nodded in approval.
Then he reacted suddenly, his feet stagnated, and he almost tripped over himself, and exclaimed:
"King Qi? What will King Qi do with her..."
Hai Rui saw Yan Song's surprised look and couldn't help but give him a disdainful look.
At this time, Yan Song recalled what Song Ci had just said in his mind, and then he suddenly reacted.
No wonder King Qi dared to play the "Li Dai Tao Zong" scheme and found someone to impersonate Emperor Rouning without fear of being exposed later. With him, he didn't even think that this fake Emperor Rouning would be able to enter smoothly.
The harem of Yun Kingdom.
This Emperor Rouning has only one ending from the beginning, and that is "death"!

When Xiao Cheng came out of Lumen Academy and returned to Zhongqing City, the sky was already getting dark.
At this time, Zhongqing City was becoming more and more lively.
The entire city is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. All kinds of lamps are lit up, and the lights are brilliant and brilliant, making the streets as bright as day. On the dozens of miles of long streets, there is a bustle of people and a constant flow. The sound of hawking along the streets is endless and lively.
extraordinary.
Although the Yun Kingdom has been engaged in constant battles over the years, there are very few wars that really require the use of the entire country's strength. In addition, the former Grand Master Wang Xiao leads the army and is always victorious. In every battle, he can wipe out all the countries and gain huge profits.
.
Therefore, the Yun people's livelihood has not declined due to successive wars, and the people are still prosperous. Today's Lantern Festival, the people celebrate the festival, showing the scene of a prosperous age.
A group of Forbidden Army masters looked at the crowded crowd and felt bitter in their hearts, but they could only step forward and protect Xiao Cheng in the middle.
Xiao Cheng was in a very good mood at this time. He raised his head and looked at the various lanterns on the street with interest. He suddenly thought of Aoshan in the Song Dynasty and smiled at Feng Bao beside him:
"Next year, we can make some lanterns at the expense of the inner treasury and pile them up into a mountain for the people to visit. It can be regarded as having fun with the people!"
Feng Bao carefully stood in front of Xiao Cheng, his face was slightly bitter, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's go back quickly!"
At this time, Xiao Cheng's interest was heightened, and he felt like having fun, waving his hand and saying:
"No rush, no rush. By the way, don't call me that outside the palace! And tell them not to be too nervous. This will only attract more attention!"
In fact, Xiao Cheng really wanted to tell the masters of the Forbidden Army around him that if they really encountered an assassin, they still couldn't tell who would protect whom. But considering that it was their job after all, Xiao Cheng didn't want to be too harsh on him.
Feng Bao and a group of Forbidden Army masters saw Xiao Cheng becoming interested, and their faces became even more bitter.
Even though they all know that although His Majesty is young, his martial arts skills are already the best in the world. But this is his duty. If he really encounters an assassin and they haven't played any role, then why should he support them?
His Majesty said this, so naturally no one dared to spoil his elegance, so they had to be very alert and alert to the crowd around him.
The national festivals of the Yun Kingdom are all based on the customs and traditions of the Central Plains. The custom of hanging lanterns during the Lantern Festival is also a copy of the Central Plains tradition. Only on the streets, many boys and girls wearing ethnic minority costumes come and go, show the Yun Kingdom. Some features.
At this time, not far from Xiao Cheng, there was a sudden noise among the crowd.
A few cold-faced men appeared out of nowhere, pushing and shoving among the crowd, as if they were looking for someone.
Such a big move by these people naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding Forbidden Army masters.
Seeing these cold-faced men crowding towards Xiao Cheng, a master of the Forbidden Army immediately stepped forward, stopped these men, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, don't rush into my noble family!"
The cold-faced man who was stopped frowned, but he did not want to cause trouble in Zhongqing City. He glanced in the direction of Xiao Cheng. After confirming that there was no one he was looking for, he backed away slightly, indicating that he had no intention of offending.
"This way!"
Suddenly, a loud shout caused the group of cold-faced men to startle and look towards the place where the sound came from.
Then they saw a figure wearing a white curtain, covering his face, and carrying a rectangular box behind him. He suddenly squeezed into the crowd and fled away into the distance.
Several cold-faced men narrowed their eyes, squeezed through the crowd without saying a word, and chased the man in the direction he left.
Xiao Cheng looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
A master of the Forbidden Army approached Xiao Cheng and whispered:
"Your Majesty, young master, I have just paid attention to it. Judging from the paths exposed by those people walking, they are definitely masters in the army!"
Feng Bao noticed Xiao Cheng's expression and said quickly:
"Sir, would you like to send someone to take a look?"
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment and warned:
"Capture both sides and send them to Jingzhao Mansion for disposal! There are many people here, be careful not to scare the crowd!"
Although I don't know what kind of dispute those people have, but it involves military experts, I'm afraid it's not simple.
The most important thing is that now, in the city, countless people go out to celebrate the festival and visit the lantern festival with their families. There are so many people, and if those people are allowed to act, it will not cause any trouble, so it is better to take it directly and send it to the government.
After hearing Xiao Cheng's instructions, the masters of the Forbidden Army immediately became energetic.
Ever since they were transferred from various places in the army to protect His Majesty, these Forbidden Army masters have never felt that they are of any use. After all, His Majesty can just beat a group of them now. Now that they finally came to the mission, these people suddenly became excited.
Immediately, they left a few colleagues to protect Xiao Cheng, and the other Forbidden Army masters followed the direction in which those people left and chased after them.
