Chapter 42: Shock

Great Zhou Palace, Tianji Pavilion.

The starry sky is dotted in the sky, paving into a magnificent star map, as far as the eye can see.

An old man with silver hair and a white robe narrowed his eyes slightly, looking somewhere in the starry sky.

There were nine stars hanging there, but the light of one of them was constantly dimming, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.

The old man looked at the galaxy, and there was a deep sadness on his face.

The star's brilliance has been dimming since a few months ago.

Burst!

The easternmost star suddenly went out, and the starlight in the entire hall seemed to dim by three points in that moment.

"Is it Tang Zheng? I didn't think even he had fallen. ”

The silver-haired old man sighed, and the bark-like old face was sunken into furrows, and the whole person seemed to be a little older.

"Even he, the former third on the Qingyun List, has fallen, what happened to the Demon Domain? I have to tell Your Majesty as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures. ”

The silver-haired old man walked in a hurry, taking one step at a time, as if ignoring the spatial distance, and suddenly appeared on the other side of the starry sky.

Suddenly, he felt a sensation, and his face showed disbelief, and he slowly twisted his body.

I saw that the life star that originally belonged to Tang Zheng bloomed again, illuminating this universe brightly, like a golden crow rising in the east, dazzling.

A vast wave erupted from the star, and wisps of coercion filled the space like a mountain, making people feel like worship.

Compared to this, the other stars in the hall were even a little inferior to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"How is that possible!?"

There are very few things in the world that can make this Heavenly Machine Pavilion take the initiative, but two things have happened recently.

One is that some time ago, the luck of the demon clan gradually prospered, and the emperor star rose, and its brilliance faintly overshadowed the human race.

The second is what he sees now.

The new patrol of the Great Zhou Dynasty caused Tang Zheng's life star to be extinguished first, and then to arise again.

……

The Great Zhou Dynasty established the country with military force and ruled the country with literature.

Over the past thousand years, the civil official system has been quite perfect, and the status of the literati has gradually increased in the Great Zhou, and even faintly surpassed the momentum of the military attachΓ©.

The Government Council is in charge of the 'Nine Ministries', which belongs to the extreme of the civil and official system, from the Prime Minister's Shangshu to the Qipin County Order, all of which are under the system of the Government Council.

A golden curtain of light slowly appeared in the main hall of the Government Affairs Yuan, and there seemed to be an ancient Sanskrit sound between heaven and earth, solemn and solemn.

There was a buzz from the official badges worn by countless officials on their waists, and they looked along the Government Affairs Yuan, and a deep shock appeared in their eyes.

A man in a purple costume with an elegant temperament stood on the long steps, even with his identity, he stood for a while, stunned.

"Prime Minister, why did this cloud list suddenly manifest?"

A young man dressed in a five-grade official uniform walked up the steps and said in surprise.

The Dengyun List records the names and positions of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which affects the luck of the whole country, and is usually manifested only once when the officials are in office.

As far as he knew, the higher the official position, the more potential he had, and the greater the scale of the manifestation.

But the one in front of him, known as the first person in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, has never had such a vision from heaven when Fu Ling, the left minister, was awarded the seal.

"But I haven't heard of any adult that the Holy Lord is going to promote!"

The Wupin official searched for the entire Dengyun List, but this Dengyun List was too big, and he didn't find it for a while.

After a long time, Fu Ling glanced at him and pointed to a corner.

This young man's name is Yan Jin, he is a rookie in the ministry, he is smart, and he is also quite optimistic.

"How is that possible?"

Yan Jin exclaimed in surprise and said that he was in the Ministry of Officials, and he was very familiar with the names and positions of officials in the current court.

There is an unfamiliar name written on the front end of the Dengyun list - Ye Shu, the inspector of the Great Zhou, and the official residence is from Sanpin.

There were a total of nine inspectors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all of whom were famous and shocking, and Yan Jin immediately discovered the clues.

"Prime Minister, why did the Southern Regions Patrol erase Lord Tang Zheng's real name and replace it with this person named Ye Shu?"

"But even if you take office as an inspector of the three grades, it is impossible for such a vision of heaven and earth to appear, right?"

Fu Ling squinted slightly, and there seemed to be a ray of light flashing in her eyes.

"Unlike other official positions, the Inspector Envoy travels to the states on behalf of the imperial court, which is often accompanied by danger."

"Therefore, Your Majesty has given the Inspector a privilege, that is, to temporarily transfer the official position to others."

Yan Jin was surprised and said, "Xia Guan has never heard of such secrets? ”

"My Great Zhou Taizu established the country with the way of heaven and machine, and paid attention to the number of fate.

This cloud list is one of the sacred relics of the Great Zhou Town, the power is endless, every stroke and every stroke affects the national fortune, not just a person can write the name on it. ”

Fu Ling glanced at him and shook her head with a smile.

Yan Jin scratched his head embarrassedly, he was not really stupid, after Zuo Xiang mentioned this, he also enlightened.

When Zhou Taizu was a hidden dragon, he once traveled all over the world to tell fortunes for people, and he was often accompanied by a golden dragon of luck.

Later, Emperor Taizu achieved the position of human emperor and ruled one hundred and eight states of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou also became one of the most powerful forces of the human race, and the golden dragon of luck turned into the ancestral vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This cloud list was stripped from the ancestral vein by Taizu by shocking means.

There are three conditions for the emperor to be crowned an official.

First, we must have virtue and ability.

Second, we must understand Zhou etiquette and abide by Zhou law.

Three must be fatal.

If it can perfectly meet one or two points, in a sense, it will fit the cloud list, and the requirements for luck will not be so strict.

Because the laws set by Zhou Taizu are his rules, and they are also the foundation of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which in a sense affects the fortunes of the country.

Once an official dies, there will be changes in the Dengyun List, and the Tianji Pavilion and the Government Council will also feel it.

Ordinary people don't have enough luck to withstand the amazing power brought by the official seal.

"For thousands of years, there have indeed been inspectors who have died outside, but no outsider has ever suddenly appeared to take the place."

Fu Ling stared at the name, frowning slightly, he faintly felt that the name was a little familiar.

"Doesn't that mean that this new inspector is a man of great luck!"

Yan Jin swallowed a mouthful of foam fiercely and said in a trembling voice.

Fu Ling nodded expressionlessly.

Yan Jin asked curiously, "Since the predecessors have not yet had this example, I wonder if the imperial court will accept this new inspector?" ”

"This matter still needs to be made by His Majesty before it can be decided." Fu Ling rubbed his chin and groaned: "After the imperial examination was completed some time ago, all the Jinshi went to the secret realm of the royal family, and Liu Yong of the Liu clan really had an induction with the ancestral lineage.

The Liu clan's luck branch has grown a lot, and the power of the clan's bloodline has become more and more powerful, faintly surpassing the other seven families. ”

"But I heard that Liu Yong is worthy of the fame of others." Yan Jin pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"You must pay attention to the truth and evidence when you speak, your identity is not as good as before, don't be so open-mouthed anymore." Fu Ling reprimanded.

On the surface, he was scolding Yan Jin, but his heart was also a little bitter.

The Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be at its peak and is in a great world of burning oil, but in fact, it has begun to decay internally.

The contradiction between the sect and the imperial court intensified day by day, and the family gradually began to influence the government by taking advantage of the ancestral branches.

The eight major families of the Great Zhou Dynasty expanded their territory with Emperor Taizu, and after the founding of the country, they were named kings, sitting on the ancestral lineage, and now more than half of the officials in the court are members of the family.

The imperial examination was originally intended to recruit talents for the Great Zhou Dynasty and give the scholars of the Han family a chance to leap into the dragon gate, but it has become a means for the major families to strengthen their luck branches.

It is not once or twice that the family has intervened in the imperial examination, and it is not the case with the Liu family, but the Liu family has better luck this time.

However, this time's momentum is not inferior to Liu Yong's.
