Taoist Priest Li was silent for a long time before he pretended to do a few moves with his fingers.

Then he threw the fortune stick into the air and dropped it to the ground.

He bowed his head and nodded, then clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness's question concerns the orthodoxy of Daxia, but the secret cannot be revealed. I dare only tell you about the future of Daxia. It is a very good omen, full of vitality, and everything is reviving. Your Majesty's name means "sheng", which means sunrise, as bright as the rising sun. Your Highness's name means "zirong", which means that everything is growing vigorously. It echoes each other and is very auspicious."

Yuan Ruan clapped his hands: [This Taoist priest is very quick-witted. He answered the fatal question in a tactful way and made it auspicious.]

System: [A cultured person who practices Taoism and is very good at talking.]

Court officials: Yes, yes, yes!

The prince smiled slightly and clapped his hands naturally: "Right! Taoist Li is right!"

Taoist Fang beside him narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "It is indeed auspicious. I dare not predict your highness's future, but I can reveal a few things about your highness's childhood. Your highness encountered a disaster from a wild beast when he was young, but was saved by a soldier. This soldier is currently serving in the East Palace. I wonder if what I said is true."

Yuan Ruan: [This Taoist priest is a bit of a wimp. Although ancient nobles loved hunting and the prince was probably saved, it is easy to make mistakes when making up stories. If the prince doesn't respond to this, the good situation created by the Taoist priest will be gone.]

System: [Aruan is right. I don't think the prince will be fooled easily.]

The court officials nodded repeatedly: they could especially hear the real voice of the emperor, and the prince would not easily tolerate such deception.

But the prince did not.

The prince also applauded and said, "Right! Taoist Fang is absolutely right!"

Everyone looked at the prince in shock: No, you can hear the inner voice! Why are you still praising the other person?

The emperor was once again stunned by the prince's sudden insane answer.

Taoist Fang, who was unable to hear his inner voice, was secretly proud: As expected, I knew that this kind of thing would happen to a noble who loves hunting.

Master Fang is preparing to make further efforts in an effort to surpass Master Li in image.

The prince stopped clapping and continued, "As expected of the two Taoist priests who have been in charge of the Shenxiao Sect, they are very good at interpreting intentions and astronomy. Father, the positions of Zhongguan Zheng and Chunguan Zheng of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory happen to be vacant. How about letting the two Taoist priests take up the positions?"

Courtiers:? ? ?

What?

Prince, have you lost your mind? Are you going to let them become officials just because they are praised by others?

Yuan Ruan held the little hand in surprise: [Huh? My nephew asked a fatal question before? It turned out to be to recruit the other party? This. Uh... I don’t know what to say. ]

System: [My nephew's emotional intelligence needs to be improved. Although the two Taoist priests don't say it, they must be complaining in their hearts.]

——"Even if you don't say it, you must be complaining in your heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, who were originally a little confused, instantly guessed what the prince wanted to do.

The Crown Prince promoted the official to the sixth rank, hoping to use the mechanism of "whether he can hear the inner voice of the young imperial teacher" to verify whether these two Taoists are worth winning over.

The emperor was silent for a while, then said, "Yes." He said to the chief eunuch beside him, "It is rare for the crown prince to recommend talents. Go and bring the official uniforms and badges of the Zhongguanzheng and Chunguanzheng."

The eunuch quickly agreed.

Taoist Priest Li and Taoist Priest Fang were both dumbfounded. They came here to rescue their fellow disciples, not to sacrifice themselves.

Yuan Ruan was shocked after hearing this: [He is an official now? He didn't even take the imperial examination? ]

System: [Hiss, let me see! Oh, yes, now there is no paper, Daxia does not have the imperial examination, and still uses the recommendation system. That's not surprising. Ah Ruan, do you want me to find a daily task to get the paper? This should add some national fortune. ]

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it: !!!

What paper? What imperial examination system?

This thing can also improve the country's fortune? !

Yuanruan thought about it carefully and declined: [No. ]

System: [Ah? Why? Isn't this the favorite thing of time travelers? ]

Yuan Ruan: [That’s because the time travelers who invented paper are all adults, and they don’t have to suffer the pain of studying anymore. Think about it, Tong’er, before paper was invented, being well-read could make you a high-ranking official, but how many words are on five carts of bamboo slips? Converted to about 800 million words! But Tong’er, do you know how many books and words you need to read to become a high-ranking official after paper was invented? ! At least dozens of times more. ]

At this point, Yuanruan's face turned heavy: [I've seen the study schedules of the princes and princesses of the Great Summer Palace. My eldest brother is a pushover. I have to read so many books to get a piece of paper. Isn't that embarrassing for myself?]

System: […Ah, this makes sense.]

At this moment, a sharp contrast formed between the academic genius courtiers and the academic dregs courtiers.

The court officials, headed by the Minister of War, closed their eyes and clasped their hands. They very much agreed with Yuan Ruan's words and decided to put this thing aside for now.

The court officials, led by the Minister of Revenue, were extremely interested. They all looked at the emperor. This thing is great! It will definitely help select more outstanding talents! They won't be too busy!

The emperor was the most excited. As the supreme leader, he wished that Daxia would be full of talented people. But after taking a look at Yuanruan who was yawning, he suppressed this impulse a little and prepared to make long-term plans, for example, to cultivate Yuanruan's interest in reading first.

At this time, the chief eunuch walked up to Taoist Priest Li and Taoist Priest Fang holding clothes and tokens.

The two men looked at the official robes in their hands, which were disheveled in the wind.

At this time, they looked down and saw a piece of cloth with words written on it.

- Whatever you hear, don't be surprised and don't speak carelessly.

The two Taoist priests were confused:?

Just at this moment, the token symbolizing Zhongguan Zheng fell into the hands of the old Taoist priest.

Taoist Priest Li suddenly heard a soft voice:

[But no matter what the system is, it seems that my brother really loves his nephew and agreed very easily. It seems that the succession will be smooth in the future. ]

System: [That’s not necessarily true! Kangxi loved the prince so much, but he still ended up abolishing him and imprisoning him. It’s common for fathers and sons to quarrel, and for family members to turn against each other in the imperial palace!]

Yuan Ruan: [That won't work! My brother and nephew must be treated well. If anyone instigates them to turn against each other, I will kill him. Whoever is in favor, whoever is against! ]

System: [Right, right, right! You are the destiny of the country. The destiny of the country is also the destiny of heaven. The emperor is the son of heaven. Hahaha, wait, are your generations wrong? You can also be your brother's mother...hahaha...]

Taoist Priest Li panicked: ???

What? Who is talking?

How dare you say such outrageous words.

"Ahem!" "Bang!"

Taoist Li suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction where the sound came from. He found that some court officials were bending down to pick up things, and many other court officials were slightly lowering their heads. Some were pinching their chins, as if they were forcing themselves to maintain some expression.

He looked at the emperor and the prince again and found that the emperor looked very calm. The prince's expression was a little awkward for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. After noticing his gaze, he waved his finger at him subtly.

A thought as sudden as a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Taoist Li's mind. Could it be that everyone could hear it?

Wait, so... this is the Little Imperial Master!

Is this the other party's magical power? !

The other party is the national destiny? !

He actually spoke nonsense in front of the sky before? !

Taoist Priest Li's legs went weak and he sat down with a thump.
