Chapter 145: Back to Beijing
Lin'an, the imperial capital of the Great Wei.
The king of Wubaotian Hua was breathtaking. Even the city gate was different from other places, and it was particularly majestic and solid. Among the people entering the city, a carriage with green trousers and double shafts was inconspicuously sandwiched in it, shaking slowly, and pausing several feet away from the city gate.
The curtain was raised, and a young man in white clothes for a month and with a clear face jumped out of the car, walked forward a few steps, raised his head and stared at the word "Lin'an" above the city gate.
The driver who drove the car was a middle-aged swordsman with a dark face. He turned his head slightly and asked, "Leader, what's wrong?"
Jiang Mu did not answer. He still kept looking up at the city gate, his expression remained motionless. His black hair was blown up by the wind, and a few strands of scattered over his pale cheeks, making the whole person feel a deep vicissitudes and sadness.
After a long time, Jiang Mu gently lowered the curtains and said, "Liang Chu, let's go!"
The swordsman who asked Liang Chu pulled the reins and slowly entered the city.
"The leader of the alliance seems to be a little concerned with Lin'an..."
"I feel a little emotional," Jiang Mu said: "I escaped from here a year ago, and today, I finally come back."
Liang Chu is a master brought by Jiang Mu from the Wulin Alliance. His cultivation level has reached the Heavenly Realm. This time, he came to the capital. In addition to Zi Yu Zhenren, he was the second Heavenly Realm cultivator.
Zi Yu Zhenren had already entered Lin'an City under Jiang Mu's arrangement a few days ago, hiding in the darkness. Liang Chu was Jiang Mu's only guard on the open for this trip.
The walls of Lin'an City are very thick.
When the carriage walked in, it seemed as if it had entered a hole and was actually trapped in a moment of darkness.
Soon, the light returned to its original state.
But after the light is brighter,
There was actually one more person in the carriage, which was the sword god Qin Wanli, sitting opposite Jiang Mu with a smile.
Just in that moment,
A simple knife suddenly emerged from outside the carriage. The blade was cold and silent, and it took Qin Wanli's life gate.
The person who made the sword was Liang Chu.
A ray of light appeared in Qin Wanli's eyes, and his two fingers clamped the blade tightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Master Jiang, your guard is very vigilant and can discover my existence in the five breaths. With such a guard, I don't need to worry about your safety."
Jiang Mu smiled slightly and said softly: "Liang Chu, continue to drive the car."
Qin Wanli let go of the blade.
Liang Chu put away his knife and continued to drive the carriage forward.
"President Jiang, why don't you allow the emperor to lead all civil and military officials to pick you up in person? Now that you are in Beijing, you are my Grand Wei national teacher, and you deserve this kind of courtesy." Qin Wanli asked.
Jiang Mu smiled slightly and said, "I understand Your Majesty's intentions. However, before I enter Beijing, it is not advisable to let outsiders know about my existence, otherwise, there will be a lot of them. However, I have entered Beijing now, and Your Majesty can make it public at any time."
Qin Wanli was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there any difference?"
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "It's just a time difference. After I enter Beijing, it will definitely be exposed, but the period before entering Beijing was a blank period, and I can do a lot of things."
Qin Wanli nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Mu asked again: "Your Majesty, how are you going to arrange for me?"
Qin Wanli said: "Our national teachers in the Great Wei Dynasty will serve as the dean of the Jixia Academy. Although the Jixia Academy has been abandoned for ten years, now that the national teacher is here, the academy will naturally have to be released again."
"Jixia Academy."
Speaking of Jixia Academy, we have to mention the court coup in Wei ten years ago, because the former No. 1 academy in the world was abandoned after the palace coup.
Jixia Academy was once very glorious, and scholars all over the world were proud to be able to enter Jixia Academy.
But those who are interested know that Jixia Academy was actually introduced by various aristocratic families. On the outside, it is actually a cold and cruel way to squeeze the poor families in the world.
At that time, Emperor Xuan of Wei was very close to the aristocratic families, which made the Jixia Academy even more glorious, but all this came to an abrupt end after the palace coup.
At that time, the royal family of Wei was divided into two factions, one was a family faction headed by Emperor Xuan, and the other was a meritorious faction headed by Prince Qin Zhao. The competition between the two factions was very fierce and incompatible.
Ten years ago, Prince Qin Zhao and the sword god Qin Wanli launched a palace coup, dragging Emperor Xuan off the horse.
In that battle, Prince Qin Zhao won.
As a concentration camp of the aristocratic family, Jixia Academy was the first step to attack the aristocratic families after Qin Zhao ascended the throne. Jixia Academy turned into a bubble overnight.
However, Qin Zhao's anti-family journey was terminated after taking the first step. The aristocratic families united, and even as the emperor, Qin Zhao had to make a step back and began a ten-year competition.
However, the glory of Jixia Academy was abandoned in the long river of history and gradually became a place where some meritorious children were gilded. Even now, people talked about Jixia Academy with a look of irony, because the students who came out of Jixia Academy now are either wasteful or playboys who cannot support the wall.
…………
As a representative student of the rise of poor families, Jiang Mu naturally knew very well about Jixia Academy. He understood even more how bad the competition between the emperor and the aristocratic families is.
Now, the emperor wants to hand over the Jixia Academy that he personally destroyed to him, which is obviously the intention of going to war with the aristocratic families after ten years of cultivation, and Jiang Mu is the emperor's desperate bet.
This is the rhythm of being an enemy of the aristocratic families of the entire Wei Kingdom.
Today, most of the Wei Kingdom is controlled by aristocratic families, and only a small number of them are the meritorious factions led by the emperor resisting. As for the poor family... even if it is not mentioned, it would be fine!
It's really cold to the poor family.
However, there is one thing that at least the meritorious families are basically from poor families, and they are still relatively friendly to poor families.
Jiang Mu was really impressed by the emperor's arrangement.
The people from the royal family of Wei seem to be very brave. Emperors of all dynasties like to do everything they want.
There have been many times that can be tested.
Jiang Mu sighed a little, and didn’t know if the emperor was a big heart or really had such great confidence in him?
"By the way, Alliance Leader Jiang," Qin Wanli suddenly said, "Do you know why you were imprisoned that year ago?"
Jiang Mu said: "Aren't you implicated by the rebels?"
Qin Wanli shook his head and said, "This is just one reason. The main reason is that someone took the opportunity to frame you. Well, during this period, I have found out that it was the Zhao family who was working behind the scenes. Zhao Ting, the head of the Zhao family, is the Minister of Revenue. He wants his son Zhao Mingcheng to have a good entry level, and you blocked Zhao Mingcheng's way!"
"Zhao Mingcheng!"
Jiang Mu chanted softly, he knew that this person was more than the top of his mind when he went to take the scientific examination together, but his strength was indeed not weak, ranking fourth in the palace examination, second only to Tanhua.
However, the difference in this title is very different. The top three are directly gilded into the Hanlin Academy. After two or three years of hard work, they will directly enter the six ministries. The others are different. If you are lucky, you will be assigned to the county government office as a classic history, etc., and you will be expected to be promoted for a few years. If you are not lucky, you will be assigned to be a county magistrate in a remote area and it will be difficult for you to make a name for yourself in your life.
Jiang Mu had a bright future at the beginning, because the top three were the Hanlin Academy. As long as you don’t make big mistakes, even if you do nothing, you can get into the six departments after a few years.
When he was imprisoned and was rejected, he was directly convicted without even being tried. He knew that he had been framed. However, at that time, he was unable to resist and had to choose to escape.
"Zhao Family!" Jiang Mu chuckled.
Chapter completed!
