Chapter 71 The first big surprise of the recruitment hall
After waking up, Zhang Zixing only felt refreshed. Although his strength had not increased, his mental state seemed to be completely transformed. He removed the purple barrier and walked out of Qingyun Palace, only to find Wen Zhong waiting outside the door.
"I have come to see your majesty and ask your majesty to forgive me for my sins." Wen Zhong's first sentence was actually an apology.
Zhang Zixing hurriedly said: "Old Master is loyal and brave to the country, and his heart is as strong as the sun and the moon. What crime is there?"
"It is a serious crime for an old minister to enter the forbidden areas of the inner palace without obtaining the imperial decree."
It turned out that Zhang Zixing "slept" for three whole days. Due to the effect of the purple barrier, no one who came to look for him could see him. They only said that the emperor was missing, and the harem suddenly became chaotic. In the end, Jiang Wenqiang was still there
Having an idea, he invited Grand Master Wen Zhong. After Wen Zhong inquired about the situation, he heard that the emperor disappeared after entering Qingyun Palace that day. He quickly came to Qingyun Palace. He was well-informed and finally used the third point between his eyebrows
Only the divine eye noticed the existence of the purple barrier, and faintly discovered that the emperor seemed to be in it, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Wen Zhong was a disciple of Jie Jiao and a cultivator. He immediately guessed it and asked Empress Jiang to issue an edict to call the emperor Jingsi, and ordered Shang Rong to handle the government affairs on his behalf. At the same time, he personally guarded the palace gate and guarded the gate for Zhang Zixing until today.
Zhang Zixing was grateful in his heart and quickly thanked Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong noticed that his temperament was different from usual, so he couldn't help but look at him twice, but he was shocked: "May I ask Your Majesty, have you cultivated the golden elixir?"
Jin Dan shocked you like this. If you knew about the infant transformation stage, wouldn't it scare you? Zhang Zixing smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't say much.
Wen Zhong sighed: "In the past, when your Majesty was the prince, he was still an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he has reached such a state! Even among my disciples, it is difficult for him to have such a genius!"
Zhang Zixing was moved in his heart and said: "I was taught by an unknown master before I could achieve this. Unfortunately, the master and I had no relationship between master and disciple and have already left. I heard that the Grand Master was born in Jiejiao, and the leader of the teaching was a bastard.
Sage Yuan has boundless magical power. I am interested in worshiping under that sage. Can the Grand Master introduce me to him?"
Wen Zhong didn't expect him to make this request. He frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "It's not that the old minister refused to recommend him, but that your Majesty is a respected person with great ties to the country and the livelihood of the people. If you abandon your roots and pursue the bottom,
If he neglects government affairs because of his cultivation, isn't that veteran a sinner of Great Shang?"
Zhang Zixing thought for a while and said: "The advice given by the Grand Master is just words of gold and jade, I am ashamed. I also know that the cultivation of condensation pills will lead to a long life. If you can hold the position of emperor for a long time, I am afraid it will last for a long time. I think it will be tens of days."
After a year, he will give way to the crown prince, and he will focus on his cultivation. I will also ask the grand master to recommend him."
Wen Taishi was very pleased to see his sincere attitude and said: "I see that your Majesty's golden elixir realm has been stabilized. But in the future, if you want to break the elixir and transform into a baby, the most important thing is to continuously consolidate your mental state and cultivation, and then gradually accumulate strength. If you do it forcefully,
, don’t rush for success, otherwise even if you are lucky enough to condense the Nascent Soul, your realm will be unstable and you will definitely suffer from inner demons..."
Zhang Zixing trembled suddenly, and finally understood where his problem lies: his mental state cultivation! The reason why his power quickly reached the infant transformation stage was because he absorbed the essence of Qingjiao's cultivation, and then did not know how to temper his mental state.
The importance is just to blindly increase the strength, so there is the danger of inner demons. If it were not for the luck of Heitama Kei, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Zhang Zixing is a smart man. From Wen Zhong's words, he could tell that his state of mind was only in the elixir condensation stage. In fact, he didn't know that this was the result of taking the Heaven and Earth Creation elixir and spiritual enlightenment. If
Before Nuwa Miao gave the incense, strictly speaking, he could not even reach the state of mind cultivation in the elixir condensation stage. Then the focus of cultivation in the future will shift to the aspect of "heart".
"Thank you, Grand Master, for your advice. I understand." Zhang Zixing endured the joy of understanding and nodded as usual, as if he had known it for a long time. As a king, he must have the ability to control his emotions and anger without expressing it.
The next day, Zhang Zixing promulgated an imperial edict at the court, to the effect that Wang Shubi Ganya would be restored to the position of prime minister. If the emperor needs to "quietly reflect on national policy" or is away from the court due to urgent matters, Wen Zhong will be responsible for major national affairs.
, Shang Rong, and Bigan are in charge of the matter. Whenever there is an undecided matter, the three of them can vote to make a decision. If it is really impossible to make a decision, the emperor can leave it to the Holy See after he comes out of seclusion.
Zhang Zixing's decree not only paved the way for future research and practice, but also restored Bigan's status as Prime Minister. The previous "demotion" of Bigan to the Director-General of Commerce was to use his talents to develop in the early days of his accession to the throne.
Secondly, he also deliberately showed his "faintness" to the outside world. As a result, when other princes despised the emperor's move, the business of Dashang was undercurrent and developed by leaps and bounds, allowing the princes to fully see the emperor's move.
Courage and means. Now that Dashang's commercial development has reached a considerable height, it is time for Bigan to step up to the front desk. After training in the Commerce Department, this Yaxiang with a delicate heart has further realized the importance of business.
importance, we must pay attention to the basic development of national strength in our governance.
After the announcement of Bigan's return as prime minister, the ministers reacted enthusiastically and praised the emperor's wise decision. Although Fei Zhong and Weifan, a few ministers, expressed their agreement, their faces looked gloomy. Zhang Zixing looked at them calmly.
Li. Fei Zhong's ambition could not be hidden from him, but as a king, he should know the way of checks and balances and not allow one party in the court to gain power. Even loyal ministers will inevitably have ambitions when they have power. Even if they are like Zhou Gong and Huo Guang, they will not be able to do so in the end.
A "virtuous minister" who usurps the throne but has the power to depose and establish the emperor is not what any monarch wants to see. Zhang Zixing had his own plans in retaining Fei Zhong and others.
"Your Majesty, the people have responded enthusiastically to the Talent Recruitment Hall. In just three days, several available talents have been found. The roster is now submitted for Your Majesty's inspection." Wen Zhong, the general manager of the Talent Recruitment Hall, said in a memorial.
The old master who loyally defended the country was happy from the bottom of his heart with the restoration of Qian phase.
In fact, the biggest purpose of Zhang Zixing's recruitment order that day was not to really rely on these civilian talents to participate in politics or even become the pillars of big business, but to recruit some "plot" characters in advance, such as the Seven Monsters of Meishan
And so on. Although these appear to be monsters in the eyes of others, in Zhang Zixing's eyes they are a force, a force prepared for future battles. Therefore, the focus of the recruitment hall is Taoist people, although many people with magical powers
You may not come here to "recruit talents" willingly, but after all, it provides an open window. As long as you have patience, you will gain something sooner or later.
Another purpose of the Talent Recruitment Hall is to further win over the people. Considering the limitations of the times, it is difficult for civilians to have real intellectuals. Most of the talents with special skills recruited are used to enrich "grassroots cadres." Of course, it is also
Maybe there really is a talented person like Fu Yue. Just like Taobao, if he finds it, he will naturally not let it go.
Despite this, it still set off quite a craze among the people. After all, in their view, it was already a great thing to be promoted from a poor man to a low-level official overnight.
Zhang Zixing opened the roster and took a cursory glance. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and his hands started to tremble - this was a tremor of excitement, because he saw a familiar name: Kong Xuan!
Wen Zhong noticed that the emperor's expression was different, so he stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Zhang Zixing suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "There is nothing wrong. Has the Grand Master ever seen these people?"
"I have been guarding the palace for the past few days, and the recruitment hall will be taken care of by my young disciple Ji Li for the time being."
Zhang Zixing nodded and said: "Ji Li has done a good job. He passed on my wishes and rewarded Ji Li generously."
Wen Zhong quickly thanked Ji Li, and Zhang Zixing promulgated a system of training, internship, and employment in the recruitment hall, classifying the "recruited" talents for training, and appointed Dr. Yang Ren as the inspector to supervise those talents and training
The situation of officials is, firstly, to further explore the potential of these talents, and secondly, to prevent officials from taking bribes or deliberately suppressing talents.
After patiently arranging all this, Zhang Zixing immediately dismissed the court and secretly ordered Ji Li to introduce Kong Xuan to Zhaoxuan Hall to see him.
Ji Li had already received the order, and after attracting Kong Xuan, he left without saying much and left.
Kong Xuan bowed to Zhang Zixing and said: "You are a common man in the mountains, and you don't know the etiquette. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zixing secretly looked at Kong Xuan's appearance, and saw that he had a slender figure, a face like a crown jewel, and a faint power exuding between his brows. He looked a bit like a Confucian general, but in his spiritual sense, he could feel the depth beneath this peaceful appearance.
Unfathomable power. When Zhang Zixing was still the prince, he met Peacock and Duobao in the eastern suburbs. At that time, he could only instinctively feel that the two people were highly cultivated. Now, as his own spiritual awareness increases, he can feel it more and more.
That incomparable power, but because his own cultivation level is too low, it is impossible to see Kong Xuan's true cultivation level. If it is speculated according to the plot in the book, Kong Xuan should have reached the realm of Xuanxian by now.
Zhang Zixing knew Kong Xuan's identity and did not blame him for refusing to kneel down. Instead, he ordered someone to look at his seat and said, "Mr. Ji Li Zeng Yan is a talented general. When I saw him today, he was indeed very impressive. I wonder where he came from?"
Seeing the emperor's courtesy, Kong Xuan nodded secretly and said with a smile: "The common people are cultivators in the mountains. They are familiar with Taoist strategies. They heard that the emperor was recruiting talents, so they took the courage to give it a try."
Zhang Zixing did not reveal his identity and deliberately asked him some military questions. Unexpectedly, Kong Xuan was really proficient in this and answered fluently. Zhang Zixing secretly praised him and took out a "self-written" military book and gave it to Kong Xuan.
Please correct me. This book is "Zixin's Art of War" that is completely plagiarized from "Sun Tzu's Art of War". (Someone declared: Whoever is in the business of time travel is not a copywriter.)
Kong Xuan flipped through the book of war casually, his face gradually became serious, he stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty is indeed an unpredictable talent! The theory in this book is so exquisite that it can be said to be unprecedented. The common people are ashamed of themselves. Such a great reward,
How dare you!"
"Sir, there is no need to be polite." Zhang Zixing smiled slightly and started to win over him. "When I saw Mr. Zi, for some reason, I always felt that I had seen him before. I had a particularly close feeling. However, I couldn't think of where I had seen Mr., but I just felt a sense of intimacy in my heart.
I have great trust in you, sir, please don’t refuse.”
Kong Xuan relied on his own cultivation and expected that the emperor would not know his transformation skills. He also thought that Zhang Zixing's "feeling of closeness" was sincere, and he could not help but feel good about him. However, he did not expect that Zhang Zixing had a "strategy secret book" in his hand.
"In that case, the common people would like to thank His Majesty for your grace," Kong Xuan was agitated and made a temporary decision.
