Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1117 Chapter 1117: Annexing the Kingdom of Gao (4) [Asking for monthly votes]

"If this is the case, the Lord should not intervene easily."

Chu Yao has found a lot of information on the perfection rituals of the scribes over the years. Although everyone's perfection rituals are unique, some rules can still be found through in-depth analysis. In the initial layout stage of the consummation ceremony, you can find foreign aid. Similar to Jiang Sheng and Mei Meng's early layout, the later closing of the net is a typical example. However, when it comes to the most important link of closing the net, you need to perform it yourself, and you cannot pretend to be someone else's. Hands - Jiang Sheng wants to personally chop off the head of the country's owner, Mei Meng wants to kill the person who stole the country with his own hands.

　　Once the target is attacked first, it will be considered a failure.

If not, Ning Yan would not have given Jiang Sheng the opportunity to avenge her late husband by killing Zheng Qiao. This opportunity is even more important to Jiang Sheng! This is also applicable today.

The consummation ceremony requires Ning Yan to cut off her own path to life, to live towards death without breaking or establishing, so [Zixu] and [Wuyou] must be eliminated by her own hands, whether through sacrifice or beheading. The Lord helped Ningtunan, and the ceremony failed.

“People have to survive! Wu You is not Tunan. Even if [Wu You] has Ning Yan’s complete memories and emotions, it is only a part of Tunan, not the real Tunan.”

 This is like the digital immortality advocated at the end of human civilization, trying to copy all surviving human memories and emotions to the Internet. As long as the host machine can keep running, human beings can get rid of the constraints of the physical body, gain immortality, and no longer fear loss and mutation due to natural disasters and radiation. Some people really believed it at first, but it turns out that the so-called digital immortality is just making a copy, rather than allowing one's own consciousness to digitally immigrate to the online world. What lasts forever is just a bunch of data.

 In Shen Tang’s view, Tunan’s situation is similar.

 She also thought about the worst.

Thinking about this, everyone put on a smile.

The worst possible outcome is that the consummation ceremony fails and the way of being a scribe is scrapped, but Ning Yan’s own talent cannot be taken away, and she is still his important minister! Tunan himself was able to think openly, so Shen Tang had no worries, so he beat him to death and stabbed him to death.

They all came forward to congratulate Ning Yan for getting her wish, and some of them had deep envy in their eyes. The way of being a scribe is perfect, and countless literati will never reach the threshold in their lifetime, which can be regarded as the ceiling of literati. Most of the blessings were sincere, and even some old-fashioned people who smiled more than Qinghe changed their attitudes. Ning Yan thanked them all. Hearing this, Shen Tang secretly winked at Chu Yao.

 One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

 Among the people, only Luan Xin opened his eyes in disbelief.

 Everyone was confused when they saw her smiling.

"This is indeed a great event. It's better to choose a different date than to coincide with it, so let's hold a banquet today to congratulate Tunan!" Shen Tang was in a good mood, and he didn't forget to add at the end, "The successful ceremony is of great significance. If you have a clue, don't be so hasty and reckless as Tunan. If you have any difficulties, please tell me!"

“Could it be, could it be that it’s done?”

 When she said this, someone actually stood up.

The college in Longwu County was also the predecessor of Kangguo's official school. The children of officials in the DPRK were all polite to the teachers who taught the official school, let alone the dean Ning Yan. Hearing that Ning Yan failed to complete the ceremony, she couldn't help but sympathize with her. How could she still be in the mood to laugh?

Hmm, they couldn't help but laugh. Ning Yan smiled brightly.

Ning Yan's popularity in the court is quite good.

 Only the breath around the body seems to be non-existent, just like an ordinary person.

Ning Yan walks in the wind with strong steps.

 Speaking, he stopped abruptly.

Shen Tang's eyes lit up: "Justice? Do you have it?"

“Maybe it’s because your Lord and I are in different situations.”

Ning Yan has a strong self-esteem and cannot tolerate this.

If it hadn't been for this accident, no one would have noticed when Ning Yan was replaced by Wu You. Just thinking about it makes her break into a cold sweat.

Ning Yan said: "Yes."

 “What’s going on, gentlemen?”

Chu Yao understood it and smiled and nodded.

He smiled and said: "You all know? If the relationship is good, I will look for an opportunity to host a banquet and congratulate you all. This is a great blessing in life, so please don't come empty-handed."

Looking at the troubled times in mainland China for so many years, how many literary scholars are there who have perfected the way of scribes? How many of them were coerced and had to entrust their lives to their master? How many people need to ask the Lord for help during the consummation process? Coupled with the frequent wars and frequent loss of documents, it is reasonable for the outside world not to know this.

If he could fight on his behalf, Chu Yao's difficulty would be much lower.

 Ordinary people will not be affected by official duties. In other countries, Wenxin is the basic threshold for becoming an official, but in Kang State, being able to work is a necessary quality. She is also a close confidant of the Lord. Even if she cannot be 996*2, the Lord will not dislike her.

result-

Chu Yao looked at Shen Tang in confusion: "But my lord..."

 She completely entrusted her life to the Lord in exchange for the literary spirit that condensed Wen Xin. As a price, her life was mortgaged to the Lord. To a certain extent, Shen Tang's life is Ning Yan's life, and the two are connected by the same spirit. Ning Yan summoned Shen Tang for help at a critical moment of life and death, which was not considered cheating in the ceremony. Ning Yan thought she had failed at first, but when she carefully inspected the Dan Mansion, she got a big surprise!

 Everyone: “Can it still be like this?”

He stared at Ning Yan's face with eager eyes.

 Be prepared in advance so you won’t be caught off guard.

 In general, Ning Yan was a blessing in disguise this time.

My brain was stuck for a moment before I came to my senses.

 If you work hard yourself, it is better to let your colleagues work hard. Be honest and do not deceive others!

Ning Yan knew what everyone had misunderstood as soon as she heard it.

Shen Tang hurriedly asked the soldiers to tell Ning Yan to come in, and all his colleagues also put away their strange expressions to prevent Ning Yan from seeing that she was being sympathized with.

Ning Yan nodded and said, "It's done."

 Everyone: “Why hasn’t there been… before?”

This good popularity is not only due to her convincing personality and social status, but also due to her other identity - the dean of the college.

Ning Yan expressed her guess.

 The atmosphere inside the tent was a bit dull.

After Shen Tang regained consciousness, the doctors checked Shen Tang's pulse a second time and found that the third breath in her body had calmed down. They prescribed some medicine to treat colds and ordered the medicine boy to go down and suffer. Seeing that nothing happened, all the ministers were ready to leave. Ning Yan came over at this time.

Others hesitated and hesitated: "Shizhong Ning, everyone knows about your affairs, please be more open-minded. Even if you can't charge into battle, the world of the king is still vast and vast!"

 Hey guys, it’s really a double happiness!

Everyone felt vaguely that this was a bit strange. Luan Xin was slow to respond and did not go into details. Before he spoke, he glanced at Ning Yan and said slowly and gently: "I have some clues. I need your help."

All the ministers shouted: "You say so!"

 Luan Xin is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

If he can make him owe me some favors, he can make things less difficult in the annual official assessment and build more good relationships. Even if he can't use this favor, maybe his descendants can use it in the future.

Shen Tang also looked at Luan Xin eagerly, urging him.

“Justice is what you say it is, no matter how difficult it is, it can be achieved!”

Luan Xin then explained his consummation ceremony.

He said slowly and lightly: "...First, gather together the ninety-nine perfected ways of being a scribe; secondly, gather together nine perfect ways of being a scribe. All of you ministers are among the best among men. I believe you will not be able to Are you disappointed?"

 Everyone: “…???”

 For a while, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Few people know about Luan Xin’s real scribeship. Most people only know that his scribeship can control rain. Although he is the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, he often travels around to make rain, and he is the folk rain god. In dry areas, if there are rain clouds next door, go to the next door to pull the rain clouds. If there are no rain clouds next door, make rain clouds to make rain on the spot. Everyone thinks that his major is more suitable for the Taishi Bureau, and it is too outrageous to place him in the Civil Service Department.

The Ministry of Officials is busy all year round, and Luan Xin is famous for his slowness. I don’t know whether the Lord’s arrangement is to test Luan Xin’s mentality or to torture the mentality of the officials being evaluated. As the nemesis of drought, Luan Xin also has extremely high prestige among the people. Except for a few, no one dared to confront him. Let’s arrange it in the official department, just the official department. The Lord must have a purpose!

But, judging from Luan Xin’s ability as a scribe, why is his consummation ceremony so outrageous? They don't know how Luan Xin wants to collect it, they only care about collecting the outrageous numbers behind it!

 Ninety-nine ways to perfect the scribes?

  Nine ways to become a perfect scribe?

 Leave aside what the latter is, the former is too outrageous! Ninety-nine. Even if Luan Gongyi digs graves, he probably won't be able to collect that many. Luan Xin actually asked them to work hard?

 “But isn’t this the consummation ceremony of Luan Shangshu?”

 Why is it others who have to work hard?

Luan Xin replied: "Of course it's because I trust my colleagues."

 Everyone: “…”

The perfect way of being a scribe requires the right time, place and people. Ning Yan is a typical example. Nothing less will not work. Luan Gongyi believed in them, hehehe, but they themselves didn't believe in themselves.

 Some people whispered: "It's too hard to force others."

Whether it is difficult or not, the big boss Shen Tang doesn’t care.

Although she is the leader of a feudal society, she has the appearance of a capitalist who wants to hang street lights. She issues task targets as soon as she opens her mouth, and she only looks at the results. Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, he started to draw big cakes with his hands. Each piece of big cake was so large that he burped after eating it.

 Shen Tang arranged a banquet to celebrate in the evening, and everyone retired one by one.

Ning Yan and Luan Xin stayed until the end.

Seeing that they were not leaving, Chu Yao also stopped.

 Shen Tang understood deeply and knew that they had something to say in private.

 “There are no outsiders here, just tell me what you have to say.”

Ning Yan hesitated and let Luan Xin take the lead.

"Zhengyi, why are you looking at me like this?" Shen Tang found that Luan Xin looked at her in a strange way. It was comparable to seeing a man giving birth on the street, with a look of horror and a look on his face that was about to speak but was hesitant.

 “Is there anything strange, Lord?”

Shen Tang was confused: "Strange? No more runny nose?"

 Woke up and felt that both nostrils were clear!

"It's not—" Luan Xin's expression was so tangled that he could tie the knot, "Xin saw it in you, saw it—"

Shen Tang tilted his head and asked, "What do you see?"

Ning Yan: "I should have seen [the child is nothing]."

Shen Tang was so frightened that he hurriedly touched a mirror, took a closer look, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I thought I had a face all over my body just like Wei Cheng."

Luan Xin said: "This is the way of the scribes."

Shen Tang was so frightened that he dropped the mirror: "Gah?"

Chu Yao was also so shocked that his hands were shaking.

 The four of them got together and had a small meeting.

The conclusions drawn are chilling.

For people like Chu Yao and Ning Yan who entrusted their lives to the ruler of the country, once the way of the scribes further develops, the literary spirit they retain in the loyal Dan Mansion will evolve into the primary stage of the "way of the scribes". It is not entirely accurate to say that it is the way of the scribes. To be precise, it is the acquisition of part of the ability of the scribes.

　　"Monarchs, ministers, ministers, fathers, sons, sons... Only now do I know the true meaning of these words." Shen Tang came back to his senses and was surprised to find cold sweat on his forehead. She has always had the mentality of starting a company, where the monarch and his ministers interact equally. She is the owner of the social animal, and the ministers are the employees of the social animal. The company's business is to feed as many people as possible, expand the scale, then go public, and then annex other companies.

But this was just her idea.

 Monarch and ministers have never been equal and have always been exploited.

She didn’t know if those previous rulers who used various methods to fight against their ministers and asked them to surrender their lives knew about this hidden easter egg, but she knew not to reveal it. Once leaked, it is likely to trigger a crisis of trust. This crisis of trust will not only occur in Kang State, but will also spread to all parts of the mainland, making the already **** political struggle more intense, and the lives of the people at the bottom will only become more miserable.

She made up her mind in just a moment.

 “Just pretend you don’t know about this.”

Luan Xin and others bowed in response.

Shen Tang rubbed his temples and endured a secret headache.

Ning Yan said: "Putting this matter aside for the moment, what kind of ability does the Lord's [Zi Xuwuyou] retain? Can he be resurrected from the dead?"

Shen Tang was still dazed. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the faint call. Luan Xin's reply came to his ears: "Probably not. In this case, the Lord cannot get the core ability of the scribe."

It would be too much to get the core.

Ning Yan: "That is?"

“It seems to be to allow Wen Qi to be transformed into long-term remote operations.” Shen Tang scratched her head. Apart from allowing her to seamlessly connect to 007*3, this ability seemed to have no other purpose. There is quite a sense of déjà vu of winning the first prize in a lottery, only to find that the first prize is worth hundreds of thousands.

Shen Tang was not disappointed, but felt relieved.

"That's fine, as long as it's not the core competency. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will take risks, and the competition around the national seal will be countless times more intense." Competing for the national seal, becoming the leader of the country, intimidating the scribes, and benefiting oneself, a complete assembly line ah.

At present, we only know that literary scholars have this hidden menu. If brave warriors also have it... Shen Tang is too scared to even think about it.

 This world is afraid that it will be beaten into a sieve.

Shen Tang originally planned to use the Gaoguo envoys to do something step by step and let them play tricks, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Before nightfall, someone from the royal capital Fengluo came.

 “Why is Shaomei here?”

Shen Tang was worried when he saw that the person coming was Liao Jia.

“Shaomei, is there an accident at Fengluo?”

Liao Jia's body was dusty and no longer neat as before. Even the flowers in his hairpin were no longer fresh. He rarely said seriously: "Feng Luo, everything is stable. I have something important to do and I have to take leave..."

Shen Tang asked: "What's important?"

Liao Jia only talked about irrelevant things. He asked: "Mei Jinghe's ceremony for the completion of the scribe's way has not started yet?"

 “Is your important matter related to this???”

Liao Jia nodded: "This is about the completion of the ceremony."

Thinking about it, there is only one fat sheep.

 He can never attack his colleagues.

  Shen Tang: “…”

  |ω`)

 Lio Jia's consummation ceremony will be more damaging.

PPS: Speaking of unrelated complaints, there is a post in the book review section that points out the pain points of the Empress novel or the Emperor and Hegemony novel, which Shiigugu has also been thinking about.

The protagonist is positioned as a king. In the early stage, he can conquer the north and south, but in the middle and later stages, his perspective will be restricted. From a free NPC running around all over the place to a fixed NPC with a limited range of activities, the plot advancement is not only to conquer the territory but also to expand other characters. (There is this trouble in the later stages of the plot of The Empress’ Live Broadcast Strategy.)

 The limited scope of activities leads to some plots in which the protagonist cannot participate. If you position yourself as a civil servant or military general, the restrictions will be much smaller. (But Shiitake doesn’t like this kind of positioning. It’s annoying to always have a boss above him.)

Originally, Ning Yan’s consummation ceremony should have been delayed a bit, but it was served in advance to make up for this restriction and expand the scope of Tangmei’s activities in line with the setting_(:з」∠)_Liao Jia also started to collect some of the southwest The foreshadowing over there.
