Chapter 497 Testing
Listening to the quarrel between Minister Wen and Minister Han, Xin Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Stop arguing, both of you."

The Minister of Literature suddenly asked, "Xin Zhuangyuan, tell me, what is your opinion?"

Xin Zhen was naturally not someone who could be manipulated by others, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Minister Wen, I came here for the people of the world.

So, I will do whatever is best for the benefit of the people of the world."

Wen Xianggong stared at Xin Zhen and said, "Xin Zhuangyuan, please explain your words more clearly. What is the best way to benefit the people of the world?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said fearlessly: "Today, the north is like the seven kingdoms fighting for hegemony. Hua Dynasty is still the common ruler of the world on the surface, but this common ruler has lost its majesty. The world is fighting for supremacy, and Hua Dynasty is not sure of winning.

But I am still optimistic about Hua Dynasty, because in my eyes, Hua Dynasty has three wins. "

After Xin Zhen said this, the three officials immediately perked up. Official Wang asked, "Can you please explain to us what three wins are?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said: "One victory is that Hua Dynasty still has a certain prestige among the people. Although it is not obvious now, once Hua Dynasty has the strength to regain its dominance over the world, then the time for the world to return to its roots will not be far away.

The second victory is that the Hua Dynasty inherited the civil service system of the old Lao Dynasty. Although the territory that the new Hua Dynasty can control is not large, the imperial power is still extended to the prefectures and counties, realizing a very precise rule, which is something that other forces cannot do.

From now on, every time a piece of territory is recovered, the civil officials will govern it quickly and absorb and utilize the human and material resources of these territories in the shortest possible time, so that we can become stronger and stronger with each battle. This is the second victory.

In addition to these two victories, there is another three victories, namely Dao Lu Si.

When the imperial city was completely destroyed, the Dao Lu Si was able to survive. It was a most powerful force of practitioners, and it was also the key to the Xinhua Dynasty's ability to defeat the siege of many ambitious people. Although the Dao Lu Si does not have top masters now, its comprehensive strength is much stronger than the practice power of any single major force in the world.

These three victories are why I came here, because Hua Dynasty really has the greatest potential to unify the world."

The three gentlemen looked at each other.

Wen Xianggong frowned and said, "Xin Hanlin, you still haven't said what you plan to do."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's very simple. Hua Dynasty is in the best situation right now. As long as there is no unrest inside, we can work hard on internal affairs, make external arrangements, make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones, and annex other forces, and become stronger step by step. In this way, in no more than ten years, Hua Dynasty will be able to unify the north, and then use all the power of the north to go south in one fell swoop, clean up the stalls in the south, and re-establish a glorious dynasty!"

Wen Xianggong's face turned very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what you mean is that we should still allow Gongyang Fu, the traitor, to continue to control the government, allowing him to harm all officials and leave endless harm?"

Xin Zhen said calmly, "Eliminating the Imperial Master will inevitably cause the Daolu Division to fall apart. Who will be able to clean up the situation then?
The Daoluo Division is the foundation of the imperial court. Without it, the imperial court would not be able to withstand the slightest impact. If a strong wind comes, it will collapse!"

Wen Xianggong said: "The Daolu Division is the court's Daolu Division, not Gong Yangfu's Daolu Division alone. As long as Xin Hanlin is willing to take action to eliminate Gong Yangfu, we will assist Xin Hanlin in reorganizing the Daolu Division."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "How many years has Gongyang Fu controlled the Daoluo Division? Counting from the siege of Chuzhou, it has been forty years, right? The Daoluo Division is made up of people he personally promoted and trained from top to bottom. If Gongyang Fu is eliminated, the Daoluo Division will immediately turn against the court. Doesn't Minister Wen understand this?"

Wen Xianggong stared at Xin Zhen and said, "Xin Hanlin, don't you have the idea of ​​controlling the Daoluo Division? If you control the Daoluo Division and you are also a member of our civil service system, as long as you sit on the prime minister's seat, you will control the Daoluo Division with one hand and the civil service group with the other. At that time, your power will be twice that of Gong Yangfu now!"

Xin Zhen laughed when he heard this and said, "Prime Minister Wen wants to get rid of Gong Yang Fu, and he also wants to train a more powerful official than Gong Yang Fu. What is he trying to achieve?"

Wen Xianggong didn't take it seriously and said passionately: "Gong Yangfu is a warrior, but Xin Hanlin is a serious roll caller outside Donghua Gate. There is a big difference between them.

"When warriors are in power, how can we civil officials have a good time? When Xin Hanlin is in power, all the scholars in the world are submissive."

Xin Zhen lowered his eyebrows and asked, "What about His Majesty?"

The three ministers looked at each other, and Minister Han gritted his teeth and said, "The Hua Dynasty is actually dead. The current Hua Dynasty is just for a name. When he is needed, he is the emperor. When he is not needed, just give him a prince to support him."

Xin Zhen laughed when he heard this. They were indeed a group of civil officials. It had been like this in every dynasty. They were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and tolerated each other for the sake of the country. They were used when needed and discarded like worn-out shoes when not needed. That was great, very good.

When Wen Xianggong saw Xin Zhen's smile, he immediately thought that Xin Zhen really meant it, and said happily: "Xin Hanlin, as long as we seize the world, the emperor and the literati will share the world, and everyone in the world will be convinced."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Okay, gentlemen, I will pretend that I have not heard about what happened today, and the three gentlemen have not mentioned it. From now on, we will assist the national teacher and work together to help Hua Dynasty to rule the world. The sooner this war is settled, the sooner the people of the world can live and work in peace. Isn't this better than anything else?

Well, three gentlemen, I will not keep you here any longer. I still have to learn from my colleagues how to do my job as a Hanlin scholar. In the future, please do not say anything more about matters that are not related to my duties. "

After saying this, Xin Zhen made a spell-casting gesture and removed the barrier that was blocking his words. The reason for making the gesture was to tell the three gentlemen that this conversation was over.

The three ministers suddenly had different expressions. Minister Wen looked quite unwilling, while Minister Han looked relieved. As for Minister Wang, his expression remained normal.

Watching the three gentlemen leave, Xin Zhen smiled gently.

He had been an emperor several times in his previous lives, and people were even treacherous. How could these three men trust him so easily just because he was once a top scholar? They even wanted to unite with him to deal with the most powerful man in the dynasty?
If this is true, it means that these three people are not smart and intelligent people, but just pig teammates. If you work with such people, they will kill you. It is very likely that this is the first test that Gong Yangfu gave himself. He just wanted to see if he had the heart to do it. After all, his identity is too special.

On the one hand, he was born into a scholar family, and on the other hand, he was a unique practitioner in the world. If he really had ambitions, the threat to Gongyang Fu would be too great.

Gongyang Fu's approach is understandable, but in Xin Zhen's opinion, this kind of political strategy is indeed a bit crude.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine. Even if they could see through this kind of political conspiracy, they probably wouldn't dare to stab him. But if he really stabbed a top master like himself, I'm afraid even Gong Yangfu himself would regret it.

Or maybe he calculated that he would not be pricked?

If you can calculate this, there is no need to test it.

After this trip, Xin Zhen felt less interested in Hua Chao.

If this is true, it means that this civilian leader is too stupid, and Hua Dynasty's fighting power is probably not very strong.

If this was planned by the national teacher Gong Yangfu to test him, then this plan was indeed a bit clumsy. It would be ridiculous to want to rely on such teammates to conquer the world.

However, Xin Zhen had no intention of leaving immediately. Although Hua Dynasty seemed to be just so-so now, he could still observe it more. After all, there were many civil servants here, and maybe he could find some useful people. After Huashan sent people to clean up the mess, there would still need civil servants to govern the country.

As for the Huashan Sect, he doesn't need to worry about it for now. The disciples have basically grown up. They just need time. Let them grow slowly. He will walk around more and collect some information. When the time comes in the future, it will be time to end the troubled times.

After Xin Zhen drove away the three ministers, he stayed and served as a Hanlin scholar with peace of mind. However, there were many people spying on him. He worked in the Hanlin Academy, and many people went to his house to spy during the day. Although those little ghosts did not know who came or what forces they belonged to, they still knew how many people came. There were dozens of people all day long, and they were different every day.

Xin Zhen shook his head. It seemed that the civil and military officials in the court had different thoughts. It seemed that the organization of Hua Dynasty was much tighter than that of other forces, but other forces were either cultivation forces or family forces. Although there were also conflicts, they were far worse than those of Hua Dynasty.

Xin Zhen turned a blind eye to these prying eyes. After all, that place was just a temporary resting place for him. As long as they didn't spy on him when he was practicing in his mansion, they could go there during the day if they wanted.

But if anyone dared to spy on him when he was in the mansion, he would show no mercy. In the first few days, some people who were ignorant of the danger or were sent specifically to test his strength were discovered by Xin Zhen and had their heads twisted off. After a few nights of this, he was completely wiped out.

In the Hanlin Academy, Su Yun came into contact with quite a few young talents. Whenever he met someone he thought was good, he would write down his name.

Later, taking advantage of his work, he came into contact with some young officials in the court. He found those young officials who were knowledgeable, experienced, and had a sense of justice, and he took note of them all.

Xin Zhen worked in the Hanlin Academy, but he was very proactive in all matters and very humble. He did not act arrogantly just because he was one of the top four masters of his time. However, within a month, Xin Zhen's good name spread throughout the court.

As everyone knows, there is one of the twelfth best swordsmen in the Hanlin Academy, named Xin Zhen, who was the number one scholar in the second year of Jiayou. There is also a rumor that when the national teacher and the three ministers were appointing officials, they wanted to promote Xin Zhen to the position of vice-chancellor, but later they took into account that Xin Zhen had no experience in governing, so they placed him in the Hanlin Academy for training. With his talent, it is estimated that he may be promoted to vice-chancellor in a year or so.

After the news spread, there was a sudden rush of traffic in front of the Xin Mansion.

However, what troubled those who wanted to make friends with Xin Zhen was that there was no one in the Xin Mansion, not to mention no family members, there was not even a servant, so they had no idea how to contact Xin Zhen.

Fortunately, officials always have connections. Recently, colleagues in the Hanlin Academy often invite him to dinner. When he arrives at the restaurant, countless people come to meet him by chance. As a result, Xin Zhen comes into contact with many officials.

Xin Zhen actually knew very well that these banquets were probably organized by these people at the request of their colleagues in the Hanlin Academy just to get in touch with him.

Xin Zhen did not resist. He had this need. He wanted to see which of the many officials in the Hua Dynasty could be used and which ones must be removed in the future. Therefore, both the host and the guest were very happy.

What made Xin Zhen laugh and cry was that some of these officials came to marry Xin Zhen. Even if Xin Zhen told them that he had already married, some of them still refused to give up and were willing to let their daughters become Xin Zhen's concubines.

It's not that they are mistreating their own daughter, it's really that Xin Zhen is a rare commodity.

Although Xin Zhen already had a wife and even concubines, so what?

None of these people would really care about their daughter's happiness; they just want to be associated with Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen is now a Hanlin scholar. At the age of 25, he is the best in the world and will soon become the Vice-President and even the Prime Minister.

In this way, there are young people both now and in the future, and they are likely to become giants in the future imperial court. In other words, Xin Zhen is now a wealthy family himself and one of the four greatest people in the world. Who wouldn't want to have a relationship with him?
Xin Zhen naturally would not flirt with girls again, but he could maintain a relationship with these people. He spread the word that he could accept some young people as nominal disciples. If they had outstanding qualifications, he would accept them as real disciples.

After this news was released, the entire Huajing's powerful circle was in an uproar.

What do the Four Supremes mean? They mean people who stand at the top of all practitioners in the world. There is always a Jindan master guarding the family of the powerful and wealthy. Everyone in the powerful and wealthy knows how powerful the Jindan master is among practitioners. And who is Xin Zhen? He is a person who is far beyond the Jindan realm. According to the analysis of the Jindan masters, he is at least a celestial being in the Yupu realm!

And according to the analysis of the Jindan masters, he might even be the best in the world!
After all, it was said that the other top masters were only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage. Even if they had broken through to the Jade Pu Realm, they had never fought with people in the Jade Pu Realm. And what about Xin Zhen? He actually killed a person in the Jade Pu Realm!
Therefore, at least at this stage, he is the number one person in the world. Now that all the gods and Buddhas dare not come down to earth, Xin Zhen is the number one person in the world!
Being able to become a disciple of the best person in the world will not only benefit the family, but the person himself will also benefit greatly. If one can get a few tricks from the best person in the world, wouldn't he be able to dominate the world?
