Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because my heart hurts so deeply.
Before redeeming it, Ning Chen knew that the things that could be redeemed inside would definitely surprise him and drive him crazy.
After all, even life span can be redeemed, so what else can’t be redeemed?
It was only when Ning Chen actually saw the interface where he could redeem it that he realized that he was still in a small position.
Let's put it this way, as long as you have enough reputation points, you can be invincible in the world.
As for now, Ning Chen can exchange his life span for two months and still have 132 reputation points left.
132 reputation points, you can use 100 points to exchange for a warrior's realm-breaking pill.
What is the use of the Breaking Realm Pill? It’s purely literal.
And it is written clearly on it that any critical realm below level three can be broken through.
If this elixir were taken out, it would be enough to beat those brainless warriors' heads into dog's heads.
You can let Ning Chen gain wealth and freedom in Dawu casually.
But now to Ning Chen, this is not important.
Because Ning Chen has no intention of changing. Reputation points are life to Ning Chen.
With 600 reputation points a month, Ning Chen wouldn't dare to mess around.
"I have worked hard for three months just to live for two more months. No matter how much I think about it, I am losing all my blood." Ning Chen, who had exchanged two months of life span, felt extremely depressed at this time.
Although he is depressed, at least Ning Chen is not so afraid of death now.
Ning Chen believed it first, as long as he worked hard to be a sycophant, he was guaranteed to survive.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Wu Zhao, who had been sitting dignifiedly at the top, finally spoke.
"Today's Crown Prince Ceremony went so smoothly, and it is all thanks to the efforts of all your ministers. I would like to give you a toast."
When Wu Zhao spoke, all the officials immediately stood up to express their gratitude.
After drinking, no one returned to their seats immediately. Everyone knew that Wu Zhao would have something to say next.
The ceremony for establishing the crown prince has been successfully concluded, and the next step is to discuss merit and reward.
And who has the greatest contribution is obviously Ning Chen.
Sure enough, Wu Zhao opened his mouth and announced the title granted to Ning Chen:
"Ning Aiqing handled this Crown Prince Ceremony very well. I have decided to promote Ning Chen to the position of Chief Registrar of the Imperial Academy and Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Everyone knew that Ning Chen would be promoted, but the place where he was promoted really surprised the officials.
What kind of place is the Imperial College? It is the highest institution that manages the world's schools. It is a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the teachers there are teachers to students all over the world.
The Ministry of Personnel is the place where officials from all over the world take exams and set courses.
Allowing Ning Chen to directly serve in these two places is completely equivalent to using Ning Chen as Wu Zhao's confidant.
On the one hand, he selects available people among the students in the world, and on the other hand, he takes care of them in official positions.
Although these two positions are both from the fourth rank, they are absolute positions of real power.
As a result, the officials' mentality towards Ning Chen began to undergo some subtle changes.
Now Emperor Shun obviously preferred the throne and Wu Zhao. It was only a matter of time before Wu Zhao succeeded to the throne.
With Ning Chen's current status, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the future Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, or even the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, will never be able to escape.
And generally speaking, the prime ministers of the Great Wu Dynasty came from the Ministry of Personnel.
So Ning Chen is the seed of the future prime minister.
By then Ning Chen will really be a powerful boss in the court.
"Your Highness, I have objections." Wu Zhao had just announced the decision, and Ning Chen didn't even wait to express his gratitude before someone stood up and objected.
Ning Chen glanced at Sun Kejian subconsciously and found that Sun Kejian's mouth was open, but it was obviously not his turn to speak this time.
Someone robbed him of what he was about to say.
Wu Zhao didn't show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he said to the person who spoke in a friendly manner: "Master Zhou, what do you think is wrong?"
Looking at the old man who was speaking, Ning Chen's information quickly appeared in his mind.
Zhou Dingzeng, the director of the Imperial College, was the second-in-command of the Imperial College besides offering wine.
At the same time, he is also the enlightenment teacher for the children of the royal family.
Whether in the royal family or among the students in the world, he has a high prestige, and he is a great scholar in the world.
Of course, this great Confucian is a great Confucian in pure knowledge, not a great Confucian in the Confucian practice system.
In fact, Master Zhou really didn't make any achievements in the Confucian practice system.
I have been reading for decades, but I have just entered the seventh level of Confucianism to cultivate quietness.
And at his current age, it is estimated that it will be difficult to improve further in this lifetime.
However, many people say that this Zhou Dingzeng is definitely the strongest person in the Confucian cultivation realm.
Because he read too many books, especially his achievements in poetry, which are almost unmatched by anyone.
Even the Imperial Confucian who rarely showed up during the Imperial Confucian system felt that Zhou Dingzeng would be able to write quatrains that would last through the ages and leave a name in history by virtue of his cultivation level.
Because of this, Zhou Dingzeng's reputation became even more famous.
Many rich people are even willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars just to buy one of his poems and put it in their homes to embellish their style.
After Zhou Dingzeng's information quickly flashed through his mind, Ning Chen was waiting to see if Zhou Dingzeng could refute him and start the event selection.
The probation period has passed, and Ning Chen has figured out some rules.
To trigger an event, it must first have an event, and the event must be large.
It is impossible for you to choose every trivial matter.
Zhou Dingzeng slowly said: "Ning Chen's ability is indeed outstanding, but he is still too young. And as far as I know, Ning Chen has also practiced martial arts. Therefore, the veteran feels that there is something wrong with letting Ning Chen serve as the Imperial Academy."
This is blatant professional discrimination. Practicing martial arts on your own has nothing to do with whether you can serve in the Imperial College.
After taking a look at the general who didn't even dare to fart over there, Ning Chen decisively triggered the event selection.
【Event Selection】
[1. You take the initiative to show humility and resign as the Imperial College Master, and gain 5 points of [Loyalty]. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points.]
[Two, you refute strongly and go directly to the Imperial Palace Registrar, gaining 200 [佞] points. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points]
Ning Chen now sees the [Nie] point and his eyes are all green, so how could he let go of such an opportunity.
After hearing Zhou Dingzeng's words, Wu Zhao was about to nod his head and follow the current, when he heard Ning Chen's loud voice: "Your Highness, I also have objections."
Wu Zhao really didn't expect that Ning Chen would step forward at this time.
Because Wu Zhao knew that there would be some opposition to his proposal for Ning Chen to serve.
So Wu Zhao had already thought about it, just keep one of the two positions.
This is the balancing act of her administration.
I know that it is impossible to do both, but I said, I will remove one of the two and keep the other.
In this way, you feel that you have made a profit, and I feel that I have not lost.
But now it seems that Ning Chen doesn't understand what balance is at all.
"What objection does Ning Aiqing have?" Wu Zhaoxing asked, staring at Ning Chen deeply.
Ning Chen could see the warning in his eyes, but Ning Chen didn't care because Ning Chen wanted to be sycophantic to the end.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask Zhou Siye, just because I have practiced martial arts, am I not qualified to serve in the Imperial College?
I want to know, is the Imperial College the highest institution of learning for students in the world, or is it just a dirty place with such professional discrimination?
I think everyone should be equal in the face of knowledge. When you go to work in the Imperial College, your focus should be on knowledge rather than anything else?"
After Ning Chen finished speaking, the expression on Zhou Siye's face did not change at all. Instead, he looked at Ning Chen kindly: "Ning Chen, I know you have some talents, but when you come to the Imperial College, those little talents of yours,
It’s not nearly enough.”
Ning Chen directly countered with disdain: "Don't say it's useless. If you say I'm not enough, at least you have to compare yourself to know whether I am enough."
Ning Chen went there for [佞], so naturally he came to [佞].
What's more, Ning Chen really disdains teachers who come up and judge whether a student is good or not without even looking at him.
Zhou Dingzeng is still as steady as an old dog: "How does Mr. Ning plan to compare with the old man?"
Zhou Dingzeng directly addressed Ning Chen as "sir". This was not out of respect for Ning Chen, it was completely ironic.
"Master Ning, I heard that you are old and quite talented in poetry, so let's compare your poetry talents."
Ning Chen was also unafraid and fought back directly.
Ning Chen's actions made many people frown, thinking that Ning Chen was a bit too arrogant.
Even Wu Zhao couldn't help but frown slightly, and began to think in his mind whether Ning Chen was worthy of great use.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Zhou Dingzeng couldn't help laughing: "Master Ning is really confident, but I don't want to bully the small with the big, so Master Ning should choose another one."
Zhou Dingzeng was still very confident in his poetic talent.
In terms of poetry, Zhou Dingzeng felt that he could compete with his predecessors at the same level, even when it came to the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony.
It’s not that Zhou Dingzeng didn’t know about Ning Chen’s poems.
It's just that in Zhou Dingzeng's eyes, these extravagant poems cannot be compared with his.
As a great scholar of the time, Zhou Dingzeng did not want to leave a reputation as a bully on his resume, so he planned to let Ning Chen choose another one.
Ning Chen curled up his lips: "It's not that I look down on you, an old man. Except for your poetry, you may not be able to compare with me in other aspects.
Anyway, I will choose poetry, it is your business whether to accept it or not."
Being despised by Ning Chen continuously makes even a great scholar lose his temper.
"Okay, since you insist on this, don't blame me for bullying the small. Lord Ning, please come." Zhou Dingzeng said and stood up first.
Ning Chen didn't know why he had to go out more than poetry, but just go out, it's not a bit of a sycophancy.
The matter has reached this point, even if Wu Zhao wants to mediate, it is impossible.
Wu Zhao knew Zhou Dingzeng's temper very well.
I have just come to power now. If I suppress it forcefully, I can suppress it, but the rebound will probably be even more severe.
Therefore, Wu Zhao could only let Ning Chen suffer some physical pain, even if it was to teach Ning Chen a lesson and make Ning Chen have a longer memory.
Moreover, suppressing Ning Chen's spirit was not entirely a bad thing in Wu Zhao's opinion.
The two of them came to the courtyard, and Zhou Dingzeng said to Ning Chen: "Master Ning, you are the junior and should be the first to write poems."
Ning Chen smiled slightly: "It's okay. I'm young, so I can afford to wait. But when you're old, you can't afford to wait. It's better for you to go out first."
Zhou Dingzeng was really angry when he heard this.
Because Ning Chen really touched on Zhou Dingzeng's pain point.
He has been a man of great literary talent throughout his life, but his Confucian practice has been difficult every step of the way. Now that he is at this age, there is basically no hope of further progress.
So he really couldn't wait any longer now.
"Arrogant!"
After a low drink, a book composed entirely of awe-inspiring aura floated out of Zhou Dingzeng's body.
This book is very big, almost as big as two square meters without opening it.
Then I saw Dingzeng opening the pages of the book with great awe, and then a poem flew out from the book.
"The carriages are rolling, the horses are rustling, and the pedestrians are carrying bows and arrows at their waists."
…
As these words flew out, these words turned into armored warriors and mounted soldiers in the sky.
Ning Chen looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.
Ning Chen knew that the Confucian system was so fancy, but Ning Chen never thought that the Confucian system was so fancy, and that the Confucian poetry competition was like a competition.
