Wandering the Heavens

"Mr. Su, regarding your wish, Prajna is somewhat interested, but I don't know if you can agree to the conditions." Qin Prajna took this opportunity to incorporate Jiangzuo League and Langya Pavilion together.

"Can you do it? That's right, the fact that you are still in Hongxiuzhao means that your plan can only be realized in Jinling." Mei Changsu did not believe Qin Banruo.

Qin Banruo knew her background very clearly, but now she couldn't see who was behind her.

"Mr. Su, do you really not want to make this deal?" Qin Prajna was a little aggressive at this moment.

"Guys? What else do you want besides the Jiangzuo League?" Mei Changsu finally reacted.

"I want the Langya List!" Qin Prajna did not hide it.

"I'm sorry, I can't make the decision." Mei Changsu refused.

As a list that claims to be absolutely objective and neutral, Langya Bang exists independently of any country, so it is impossible for it to choose which country to operate it.

"Today I just told Mr. Su to go back and have a good discussion with Pavilion Master Lin. In short, it's not a bad thing to think more about everything." Qin Prajna said and started to drive people away: "Gong Yu, why don't you take your son out quickly."

Gong Yu obediently supported Mei Changsu and walked away, which made Mei Changsu very embarrassed, but he had to sacrifice half his life and could not resist. In addition, Doctor Yan needed someone to share his anger, so he had to reluctantly let someone bring out the Red Sleeve Move.

Mei Changsu was rejected again. Not only that, he also brought bad news to Lin Chen, who had already left Jinling to travel around. The people behind Qin Banruo had set their sights on the Langya List.

"Sir, Mei Changsu has not agreed to hand over the Langya List. Prajna feels that the chances of him handing over the Langya List in the future are not high."

After Mei Changsu left, Qin Banruo came to Yu Xian's room and told him the results of the test.

"It doesn't matter. If they don't give us one, we can just make one ourselves. But as the imperial court, we only have the Talented List, the Master List and the Extraordinary List. It would be ridiculous if we also had a Beauty List." Yu Xian didn't insist on getting the Langya List.

"Prajna doesn't understand why the imperial court wants to organize its own Langya List." Qin Prajna was very puzzled that in the current situation, Yu Xian actually had the mind to mess with the Langya List.

"Let me ask you, in the land encroachment case presided over by Prince Jing and the corpse hiding case in Lanyuan, what were the differences in the experiences of the two main officials handling the case, Shen Zhui and Cai Quan?" Yu Xian always liked to ask her questions.

"Although Shen Zhui was troubled by officials from the Ministry of Justice when he was handling the case, everyone was polite to him and no one dared to say a single indecent word. Afterwards, he was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Cai Quan was in a difficult situation. Not only was he troubled by his colleagues during the investigation, but filth was thrown at his doorstep and dead rats were thrown at his door. Afterwards, he was demoted to a jailer and even lost his official position. If Prince Jing had not reported the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel for killing prisoners, he would probably have been a jailer until his death." Qin Banruo knew the experiences of these two people very well.

"What was the reason for their different experiences?" Yu Xian continued to ask.

"As for his background, Shen Zhui is the son of Princess Qinghe and has a royal background. At the same time, the Shen family is a noble family and its status is not low. Cai Quan comes from a poor family, so everyone has no scruples about suppressing him." Qin Prajna blurted out.

"What if we erase the origins of these people from the list compiled by the court?" Yu Xian stated his purpose.

"But sir, the aristocratic families will not agree." Qin Prajna was worried about how many people would boycott this list.

"I have thought of this as well. There will be people who oppose it, but not too many. Because at this time, the aristocratic families have an absolute advantage on this list, and those who we want to enter on the list will be granted an official position. As for how far they will go in the future, it depends on their own abilities." Yu Xian wanted to tear open a gap in the aristocratic families at this time.

“Can it still be called Langya Bang?” Qin Prajna seemed to be talking to herself.

"Of course it can't be called Langya List, this is called the Imperial Examination. Prajna, in this era of warlords, every country is ruled by aristocratic families. Officials like Cai Quan, who come from humble backgrounds, are struggling, and there are many more knowledgeable people who don't even have the opportunity to realize their ambitions because of their backgrounds."

Yu Xian had already asked Qin Prajna's Red Sleeves to sort out the general situation within each separatist regime.

"The purpose of the imperial examination is to attract these people and use them for our own benefit. If we recruit one more person, other countries will have one less person. As the two gain, they will gradually lose the foundation for their rule. One day, when we say we want to unify the world, they will be the most active vanguard."

"Will there be anyone among those who can be hired who secretly sends confidential information to their motherland?" Qin Prajna expressed her concerns.

"If we send troops to destroy that country, we will have a legitimate reason." Yu Xian's train of thought always exceeds Qin Prajna's imagination.

Qin Prajna: ...

Therefore, no matter whether this person sincerely works for Mu Qing's new regime or not, as long as he enters the officialdom through the imperial examination, Mu Qing will be the winner. By serving him wholeheartedly, he can gain a talent from a poor family; betraying the country he serves for his motherland is the best reason to go to war.

The prerequisite is to have a strong army.

Life was peaceful and tranquil in Jinling City, but in the Xishan Hunting Ground, everyone was having a hard time except those who knew the situation. Xiao Xuan was not among them. But as an emperor, he could not lose face like others. He had to pretend to be calm and go to the pond every day to cast a few shots to cheer people up.

Although Prince Yu launched a mutiny, he did a good job of preserving his reputation. He provided the expenses of Xishan in a timely manner, and even sent someone to deliver birthday gifts on the birthday of the emperor. He was too lazy to mention a deadline of half a month, which was the last bit of decency.

In short, during this half month, you are the daddy; after half a month, you will be so busy that you will call me daddy.

"Gao Zhan, what do you think these ministers are thinking?" Xiao Xuan wanted to take Gao Zhan's life as soon as he opened his mouth.

No matter what, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Jinghuan are father and son. They can say this and that, but the ministers cannot.

"Your Majesty, the ministers must be wondering when the misunderstanding between Your Majesty and Prince Yu can be resolved and the father and son can put aside their past grudges." Gao Zhan felt that his underwear was soaked with sweat.

"Look at your useless look. I just want to find someone to chat with. Your words are incoherent. You don't act like Eunuch Gao at all." Xiao Xuan looked at Gao Zhan who was standing aside and trembling slightly with a little disgust.

"Your Majesty is right. I lost my composure." Gao Zhan quickly lowered the fishing rod.

"Okay, okay, you send these fish to the imperial kitchen and say we'll have fish for dinner. Also, ask Prince Jing and Meng Zhi to come over." Xiao Xuan didn't make things difficult for him.

"The slaves obey the order."

After Gao Zhan finished speaking, he quickly called seven or eight young eunuchs over and asked them to carry away the several pots of fish that Xiao had chosen.

Xiao Jingyan and Meng Zhi came over quickly, and after paying their respects, Xiao Xuan asked them directly how long the army in the Xishan Hunting Ground could hold off the Qingli Army.

"Father, there are 3,000 imperial guards guarding the Xishan Palace this time. With the abilities of this minister and Commander Meng, we can hold out for three days if a battle breaks out within half a month." Xiao Jingyan was not good at talking and almost scared Xiao Xuan to death when he opened his mouth.

"What if it's half a month later?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"In half a day, or if the Qingli Army shows signs of attacking, they may just surrender directly." Xiao Jingyan still felt that Xiao Xuan's expression was not ugly enough.

"Meng Zhi, what do you think?" Xiao Xuan looked at his ignorant son and tried to see if he could find comfort from Meng Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing knows more about the confrontation between the two armies than I do. I think what Prince Jing said is right."

This was quite unnecessary. Xiao Xuan rolled his eyes without caring about his image as an emperor. Why didn't he just go fishing instead of making trouble for himself?

"How long will it take for Prince Mu's army to reach Nanjing?" Xiao Xuan could only find support from other places.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I have calculated that it will take about fifteen to eighteen days for one person to travel from the southern border to Jinling with two horses. The carrier pigeons from the Xuan Jing Division are very fast. The day after Your Majesty issues the imperial edict to defend the king, Xia Dong will definitely receive it and hand it over to Prince Mu. They are already on the road now and have gone at least halfway." Xiao Jingyan finally said what Xiao Xuan wanted to hear.
