Chapter 1069 Ignition
As for retaliating against those small Juren, will it have any bad influence on them? Of course not.
With their identity and status, it doesn't matter even if they kill all those Juren.
Of course, if they really do this, it will cause too much noise, and it may cause dissatisfaction among some ordinary people, which will affect the fortune of the dynasty.
So these people plan to find a "legitimate reason" to deal with them after a while, after the incident has subsided.
But these are all things for the future. What we need to do now is to appease the Juren and many civilians as soon as possible and restore the fortune of the dynasty. Now the army is fighting on the front line, which is related to the future of the dynasty and must not be affected at all!
"Drive that idiot out of the capital, deprive him of his fame, and let him return to his ancestral land for a few years." Liu Bairui glanced at the ministers with a sinister look, so that no one dared to speak up.
"The imperial examination will be retaken! During this period, you all should behave yourself. If you cause trouble again and affect the development of the dynasty, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of my fellow tribesmen!"
He can take this opportunity to promote some of his own people and gain more power.
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed honestly. This matter also concerns their interests, so no one refuted.
...
"You reacted quite quickly, but some things will not develop as you wish."
After Li Zhirui knew that the imperial examination would be retaken, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the surface, the Li family only sent him, but after Li Zhirui left, the Anbu also began to act and had established a large intelligence network.
However, due to the suppression of the humanitarian law network, in order to avoid being exposed, most of the Anbu tribe members stayed in small towns on the edge, or even in the countryside. Those who were really responsible for collecting intelligence were all small people from all walks of life.
Although they were born in a bad family and could not get in touch with the upper-level information, they were numerous and easily overlooked.
Besides, Li Zhirui doesn't need too much intelligence from the upper level now, he is making plans in this regard.
It was Li Zhirui who quickly spread the news of Liu's children cheating in the imperial examination to the surrounding areas of the capital through them.
Knock knock --
A knock on the door interrupted Li Zhirui's thoughts. He instantly restrained his expression and changed his temperament. He became a gentle Confucian scholar and said softly: "Come in."
"Sir!"
"Are you talking about the re-examination of the imperial examination?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the sir."
"Don't worry, I think this imperial examination will not change much except that it will be more strict."
Li Zhirui quickly sent them away, walked into the dark room alone, looked at the scarred man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"
"It's already Several three-meter-long iron needles have been erected in the houses near the Imperial Examination Hall. "
The strong man lowered his head slightly and asked in confusion: "Sir, can you really have a bad impact on the Dafeng Dynasty by doing this?"
"Of course, didn't the Liu family promote the theory of heaven and man's induction to prove that they were in the right position? When the 'Emperor of Heaven' sends down thunder and fire, those brainwashed civilians and students will inevitably have a little hesitation and doubt about the Dafeng Dynasty, and this is enough. "
"Sir, what's the use of this? It can't overthrow the Liu Dynasty at all!" The strong man said anxiously.
Speaking of this strong man Cao Da, his life experience is very old-fashioned, just like Zhang Gangfeng, who Li Zhirui said when he fabricated his identity for himself. Because he offended the children of the Liu family, his family of eight was slaughtered. It can be said that he has a blood feud with the Liu family.
So when the Anbu was developing informants and contacted him, Cao Da was particularly active. Moreover, he was a farmer who could not read a single word, but he was quite talented in collecting intelligence, so he was sent to Li Zhirui to help him.
"Don't be anxious. It is not an easy thing to overthrow a dynasty that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is in the period of rejuvenation."
Li Zhirui comforted him and said, "After the fire in the Gongyuan, you should immediately let people spread the word that Liu Fengzhong is immoral and the Emperor of Heaven has sent down punishment. The sooner the better, and you must let as many civilians as possible know."
"And tell everyone to be careful and not to expose! The dynasty has legalists. Although they are not as powerful as Confucianists, they are also really capable. If they intervene and investigate, they are likely to find clues and discover our existence!"
Li Zhirui was also helpless. After he got the complete humane method, he spent some time to comprehend it, but he did not study it in depth.
Now, being able to reduce the suppression of his cultivation by the humane law network as much as possible is his greatest ability.
Moreover, Li Zhirui cannot make a move, otherwise he will leave obvious traces of a cultivator. At that time, the Dafeng Dynasty will definitely suspect that it is the nearby immortal forces that are secretly plotting.
This is why Li Zhirui did not let the family cultivators make a move personally, but instead set up a mortal intelligence network.
"Don't worry, please don't worry, I will definitely convey your words to you, sir!" Cao Da nodded and left the dark room quietly.
Li Zhirui has the human method in his hands. He naturally also has the cultivation methods of Confucianism, Law, and Military. In order to fight against the Dafeng Dynasty, he selected some mortals to teach.
Among them, military cultivation, law cultivation, ink cultivation, etc. are the main ones. However, there are very few Confucian cultivations that are prosperous in the Dafeng Dynasty.
Because compared with Confucianism, the cultivation of other methods is less dependent on the luck of humanity.
If these beings in the dark absorb luck wantonly, wouldn't it be obvious that they will be caught?
Soon the day of the re-examination of the imperial examination came. When many students were about to enter the Imperial College, the sky suddenly thundered, and the thunder cut through the black sky. At that moment, it seemed as if the day had dawned.
Then, in full view of the public, several thunders hit the surroundings of the Imperial College, and the wooden houses instantly caught fire and soon spread to the Imperial College.
"This..."
Just when everyone was at a loss, in the darkness where no one noticed, several figures were running fast.
"It's over! It's over! The imperial examination will be postponed again! And the Imperial College was burned down, and I don't know how long it will take to rebuild it."
"What should I do? I don't have much money left, and there is no way to stay in the capital."
A student's eyes showed a strong resentment, "If Liu Baiqing hadn't cheated, I would have been a Jinshi by now!"
Many people who were born in civilians and finally got their names on the gold list, heard this, and the resentment in their hearts suddenly grew to three feet high.
Yes! If it weren't for Liu Baiqing, how could they have encountered such embarrassment, and they might even have to face the situation of giving up.
Fortunately, this is a world with extraordinary power. After the invigilators reacted, they used their means to put out the fire and prevented the fire from spreading further.
But the Gongyuan was burned down by the fire by nearly half, and it could not be used any longer.
Leaving a few people to appease thousands of candidates, other officials hurried to the palace.
…
"Damn it! How could such a thing be discovered! What are those invigilators doing? They took action the moment they saw the fire burning. Will the consequences be so serious?" Liu Bairui couldn't help but get angry after hearing about this.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Will the examination continue?" An old minister stood up and said.
Liu Bairui's expression stagnated, and he said: "Immediately send all the craftsmen in the capital to repair the Gongyuan as soon as possible. Once it is completed, the examination will be held directly the next day!"
"At the same time, let the legalists investigate this matter and find out the reason for me."
"Yes!"
At this time, no one was willing to contradict Liu Bairui.
But there was no good news, but bad news came one after another.
There is a rumor spreading rapidly in the capital, including the surrounding areas of the capital, and it is probably out now.
It is said that the fire in the Imperial Examination Hall was a warning from the heavens to express their dissatisfaction with Liu Bairui.
Not to mention the mortals who are deeply bewitched by the induction between heaven and man, even some members of the Liu family are quite superstitious and believe the rumor.
But whether they are really superstitious or have other purposes, only they themselves know.
Bang——
Various precious porcelains were smashed to the ground by Liu Bairui and instantly turned into fragments, while he himself seemed to be a defeated lion, breathing heavily.
"Investigate! Send everyone to find out for me! Who is playing tricks behind the scenes!" Without thinking too much, Liu Bairui knew that someone was calculating him and wanted to squeeze him out of that position.
And this kind of dangerous and terrifying rumor is a great blow to the dynasty's luck!
If the things that happened during this period are counted, the luck of the Dafeng Dynasty has declined the most in history.
The army that originally had the upper hand on the front line also weakened its suppression of the monks due to the decline of luck, and the situation was soon reversed by the monks.
"Yes!"
Unfortunately, after a heavy rain, all the clues were buried in the world and disappeared.
Of course, this was also thanks to the help of several Liu clan members, otherwise how could there be no clues at all?
Li Zhirui was quite satisfied with this result.
It not only intensified the suspicion between the king and the ministers, but also caused the dynasty's luck to decline. More importantly, the army returned in a disastrous defeat, shaking the foundation.
It can be said that before they have trained enough soldiers, they can't continue to expand outward, unless the children of the Liu family are willing to go to the battlefield to fill the missing soldiers.
But this is obviously impossible. How can those guys who are high-minded and low-skilled be willing to be big soldiers?
So in a short period of time, Wanzhuzhou is safe!
It is not an easy thing to counterattack the Dafeng Dynasty. With the suppression of the human law network, the strength of the monks is greatly reduced.
However, Li Zhirui has not wasted time these days. Combining the previous insights, he is almost going to complete a secret method that can reduce the suppression effect.
When the time comes, pass it on to those monks, and the Dafeng Dynasty will not be at peace in the future!
Unfortunately, this is far from enough. Li Zhirui intends to overthrow the Dafeng Dynasty and eliminate the pressure of Wanzhuzhou. At the same time, the family can directly receive this large inheritance.
You know, because it is related to luck, the human dynasty is very keen on expanding its territory, so over the years, the territory of the Dafeng Dynasty has reached more than 8,000 miles! It is even larger than the current land area of the Li family.
"Sir, you are so amazing!" Cao Da was amazed. Although he had long known that this mysterious gentleman had extraordinary means, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is far from enough, but don't make any noise next time, just lie low."
Cao Da knew that this was the right thing to do, but he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how many years will it take to overthrow the Dafeng Dynasty?"
"It will be done in less than ten years."
With the invasion of cultivators outside and several major contradictions inside, plus his layout, perhaps this year will be the peak of the Dafeng Dynasty.
...
After the renovation of the Imperial Examination Hall, the joint examination and the palace examination were finally completed without any disturbance.
The students that Li Zhirui taught, the best ranked in the top 100, and the worst ranked in the bottom few, luckily making it to the gold list.
"Starting tomorrow, you will each embark on your own future path. I can't continue to accompany you. Everything depends on yourselves!"
Li Zhirui found a time to communicate with them face to face.
"I guess during this period, you also understand those situations that are very ignored in the dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be running back and forth in various states and counties for the next few decades. If you are lucky, you may be sent to a large county, and if you are unlucky, you may be sent to those newly conquered wild lands."
After these words came out, the few people who were originally a little proud of their names on the gold list, instantly bowed their heads, and their bodies exuded a strong unwillingness and helplessness.
"As your teacher, I will give you the last instruction here."
Li Zhirui said earnestly: "Strength is the foundation! So you must not give up cultivation in the future. On the contrary, you who have official positions can use the official seal to directly connect with the dynasty's luck and speed up your cultivation."
"But this! It is far from enough to resist this rule shackle, so you must also cultivate your hope!"
"Cultivate your hope?"
Everyone did not quite understand this word.
"Yang means to cultivate; Wang means fame."
"This fame can be the people's hearts you have gained by eliminating harm and solving people's livelihood problems, or it can be teaching and educating people. The specific situation still needs you to figure it out."
Li Zhirui looked at several people with a sharp gaze and said, "If you are a world-famous Confucian scholar or a famous legalist, coupled with your own strong strength, you will definitely not stop at the third-rank official!"
"One day, you may be able to be a marquis and a prime minister! Become a big shot in the court!"
As soon as these words came out, these young people who didn't have much experience suddenly had a bright light in their eyes, because Li Zhirui continued the road that had been cut off for them!
Although I don't know if it can be done, at least there is a way ahead!
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!" Everyone bowed sincerely.
They may have their own little thoughts, but they all understand that if it weren't for Li Zhirui, they wouldn't have such a high achievement now, let alone a bright future.
"Well, it's getting late, and many of you will be leaving for different places tomorrow, so go back and rest."
After they left, Li Zhirui muttered to himself: "I hope this fire can burn hot!" (End of this chapter)
