Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 39: : Xun Shifei

This is Li Zhen's second long trip in his life. The one-month journey by car and horse allowed him to see the mountains and rivers of Kyushu and see the humanities. Also appreciate the various talents of talents from all over the world.

There is a feeling that a hundred flowers are blooming, and he is proud of Kyushu.

"The number one scholar, you will arrive in Shangluo County in about three days. Once you enter Shangluo County, you will not be far from Balong City."

Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile, "I'm going to Beijing soon, so I'm a little nervous."

Mingkang smiled: "This is human nature. After all, there are tens of thousands of people in Kyushu, and not everyone has the honor of being the number one scholar to personally appreciate the glory of the emperor."

"Isn't the emperor majestic?"

"That's natural. Don't be angry and be majestic, the gods are vajra."

"Is the emperor amiable?"

"Among the majestic and majestic, there is also a virtuous corporal who is like a spring breeze."

Li Zhen began to imagine the scene of meeting the emperor, full of great anticipation, and asked: "How old is the emperor?"

"The age of the emperor should not be disclosed, but I can tell you roughly that the emperor is almost seventy."

Li Zhen sighed and shook his head: "The vicissitudes of life. It is said that many years ago, the emperor was brave and mighty, and personally led troops to the Northeast Prefecture to destroy the Raksha National Army. He personally beheaded the head of the Raksha army general. How coquettish? Times have changed, and the emperor who was heroic and brave back then is approaching his sixtieth birthday."

Mingkang covered his mouth with a smile and said, "No. 1 Scholar, you can't say these words in public. You mean 'the emperor is old'. If it spreads out, it will affect your official career."

"Hahaha. That's right, I'm talking about Brother Ming here."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a feeling of sympathy.

This dynasty is hereditary.

But the dynasty was not feudal. Unlike the ancient times 10,000 years ago, there was nothing to say about the affairs of the emperor's family. Here, well said.

Even if you say it in front of the emperor, he will not convict you. After all, there is no such crime as 'prohibiting talking about the emperor' in the criminal law.

Of course, you can say it or not. Although it is not necessary to convict, it is not as strict as in the ancient times, but it will also affect your career. After all, no one likes others to say negative information about themselves, and the emperor will wear small shoes for you.

But in general, it is still relatively wide. Speech is relatively free.

The cavalry escorted by the Imperial Army stopped in Shiyan County and rested overnight.

————

At the junction of Shiyan, Shangluo, and Jinzhou counties, Jinzhou County, Xunyang County.

Soaking in the man-made hot spring, Xun Shifei closed his eyes and rested his mind, sniffing the scent of rose petals in the green smoke.

A maid moved her lotus steps lightly, lowered her head and said, "Prince, the number one scholar has arrived in Shiyan County."

Xun Shifei quietly opened his eyes and turned around, looking at the maid whose figure exploded and whose face was one of a thousand, a greedy gaze flashed in her eyes, but there was a helpless expression on her face, and said with a wry smile: "Understood, please... you go out for a while."

The maid blushed, but there was a sly smile in her eyes: "Here."

"Hey, this annoying little goblin serves me every day and night, but I can't see it, but I can't touch it. It's so annoying."

The prince sighed helplessly, got out of the water to wipe it off, and looked down at his brother Gao Gao, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

Among the hereditary traditions of the Kyushu Empire, one of the most terrifying rules for selecting an heir is the test of beauty.

After the crown prince is selected, the imperial court will select ten maids to take care of the prince's daily life and personal service. This is not a benefit for the heirs of the world, but a test of human nature.

Because when the last emperor was about to die and the prince was about to ascend the throne, court officials would check whether the ten maids sent out were still prostitutes. If it is found that any of them is not chaste, the prince will immediately be considered whether he is suitable to inherit the world.

The most hated thing in the world in Kyushu is the emperor who does nothing and does nothing, and beauty is the most important thing. This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a test of human nature, and it is very psychologically tormenting.

Only if you pass the test of psychological quality, can endure what others cannot bear, and have a peerless beauty, can you inherit the position of emperor.

Unlike the feudal dynasty 10,000 years ago, the Kyushu Empire did not implement the castration system, and there were no eunuchs. This is a more humane rule that fits contemporary moral standards.

So you can't imagine that in the hereditary dynasty 10,000 years later, the 26-year-old prince is still in Nan.

Some scholars once suggested that such a system of suppressing human nature is unscientific and would be very abnormal. However, because this system has won the support of the people and the people of the world, this system has never been abolished and has been passed down to this day.

There was once a generation of princes whose father died when he was fifty, and he was still a virgin at fifty!

Therefore, the princes of each generation are very hungry men. It is even more terrifying than the hooligans released from the prison.

But don't think that he will release himself after becoming the emperor, no, there are too many courtiers who are driven by the rules of the past to supervise. Licentiousness has its limits. After each generation of princes inherits the throne, the first thing they do is to be jealous. Because in order to be emperors, they did not commit suicide for many years before, and endured it for many years. After they ascended the throne, they would be afraid of the feeling of falling short.

Because a great man once said thousands of years ago: If you want to wear a crown~IndoMTL.com~you must bear its weight.

No one forces you to be the Son of Heaven. Since you want to be the Son of Heaven, you must be responsible for the empire. You alone need to bear the pain, happiness, sorrow and joy of the entire Kyushu.

After Xun Shifei came out of the hot spring, he quickly took another cold bath to extinguish the fire in his heart, and then said calmly, "Okay, I will first appreciate the style of the number one scholar. Xuan, don't enter Shangluo for the frame. The county is over, transfer directly to Jinzhou County, and hurry up to see Bengong."

"Here."

“…”

Several fast horses set off from Jinzhou County overnight and rushed to Shiyan County.

Shangluo County can't leave, and the plan can't keep up with the changes. Ge Qingping is doomed to wait...

Xun Shifei was very curious about Li Zhen. He was the number one scholar in the country ten years ago, and the crown prince was also going to take the college entrance examination. With so many sons, how does the emperor choose an heir? It's not that the eldest son is respected. It's talent first. How can an incompetent inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven?

The champion cherishes the champion, and the champion also looks down on other champions.

Xun Shifei was not convinced by Li Zhen at all. He didn't think that Li Zhen had any real talents, at least he didn't think that Li Zhen's talents could surpass his own.

"Hehe, I want to test you. Can you bear the title of number one scholar in Kyushu for a hundred years? I haven't even become the number one scholar in Kyushu, but you have surpassed me?"

Xun Shifei muttered to himself, becoming more and more urgent. I am looking forward to the arrival of the champion, and I hope I will not let myself down.
