Back Off, Let Me Come

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

Chu Yao has found a lot of information about the perfect ceremony of the Way of Scholars over the years. Although everyone's perfect ceremony is unique, in-depth analysis can still find some rules. In the initial layout stage of the perfect ceremony, you can find external help. Jiang Sheng and Mei Meng are typical examples of this. However, when it comes to the most important part of the perfect ceremony, you need to do it yourself, and you can't let others do it - Jiang Sheng must personally chop off the head of the country's master, and Mei Meng must kill the person who stole the country.

Once the target is taken by someone else, it will be considered a failure.

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

The perfect ceremony requires Ning Yan to cut off her own life, to break and not to build, and to live towards death, so [Zixu] and [Wuyou] must be eliminated by her own hands, whether it is sacrifice or beheading. If the master helps Ning Tunan, the ceremony will fail.

"People have to survive! Wuyou is not Tunan. Even if [Wuyou] 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 the last human civilization, trying to copy all the memories and emotions of the surviving humans to the network. As long as the host can keep running, humans can get rid of the shackles of the flesh, gain immortality, and no longer be afraid of natural disasters, radiation, loss and mutation. At first, some people really believed it, but it turned out that the so-called digital immortality is just a copy, not a digital migration of one's own consciousness to the network world. What is immortal is just a group of data. In Shen Tang's opinion, Tunan's situation is similar. She also thought about the worst plan. At worst, the perfect ceremony failed and the way of the scholar was scrapped, but Ning Yan's own talent could not be taken away, and she was still his right-hand man! Tunan himself was open-minded, so Shen Tang had no worries, and stabbed Wuyou to death. The atmosphere in the tent was a little dull. Ning Yan's popularity in the court was still good. This good popularity is not only due to her convincing conduct, but also to her other identity - the dean of the college.

The college in Longwu County is also the predecessor of Kangguo Official School. The children of officials in the court are polite to the teachers of the official school, not to mention the dean Ning Yan. Hearing that Ning Yan failed to complete the ceremony, they couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity. How could they still be in the mood to laugh?

Well, they couldn't laugh, Ning Yan smiled brightly.

After Shen Tang woke up, the doctors took Shen Tang's pulse again and found that the third breath in her body had calmed down, so they prescribed some medicine for treating colds and ordered the medicine boy to boil it. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the ministers were also ready to say goodbye. Ning Yan came at this time.

Shen Tang hurriedly asked the soldiers to call Ning Yan in, and all the colleagues also put away their strange faces, so as not to let Ning Yan see that she was sympathized with.

Ning Yan has a strong self-esteem and can't stand this.

The result -

"What's wrong with you, ministers?"

Ning Yan walked with a breeze and a strong step.

Only the breath around her body was vague, just like an ordinary person.

Others hesitated: "Minister Ning, everyone knows about your affairs, please think more open-mindedly. Even if you can't charge into battle, your world is still vast and vast!"

Ordinary people will not be affected in handling official business. In other countries, literary talent is the basic threshold for becoming an official, but in Kangguo, being able to work is a necessary quality. She is also the master's confidant and important minister. Even if she can't work 996*2, the master will not dislike her.

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

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

It's better to let colleagues work hard than to work hard yourself. It's true!

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

Smiled and said: "You all know? That's great. I'll find an opportunity to host a banquet and invite you all to celebrate. This is a great blessing in life. Don't come empty-handed."

Everyone was confused when they saw her smile.

My brain was stuck for a moment and then I reacted.

"Could it be, could it be successful?"

Ning Yan nodded and said, "Of course it is successful."

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

Ning Yan expressed her guess.

"It's probably because the Master is in a different situation from me."

She completely entrusted her life to the Master in exchange for the literary spirit of condensing the literary mind. As a price, her life was mortgaged to the Master. To a certain extent, Shen Tang's life is Ning Yan's life, and the two are of the same blood. Ning Yan summoned Shen Tang for help at the critical moment of life and death, which is not considered cheating in the ceremony. Ning Yan also thought she had failed at first, but she got a big surprise after carefully checking the Dan Mansion!

Everyone: "Can it be like this?"

Ning Yan said: "Yes."

Everyone: "Why didn't you..."

He stopped talking.

Looking at the chaos of the mainland for so many years, how many literary scholars have perfected the way of scholars? Among them, how many were forced to entrust their lives to the master? How many of them needed to ask the master for help in the perfection process? In addition, due to frequent wars and frequent loss of documents, it is reasonable that the outside world does not know this.

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

After thinking this through, everyone smiled.

They came forward to congratulate Ning Yan on getting what she wanted, and some of them even had deep envy in their eyes. The path of a scholar is perfect, and countless scholars with literary minds can never reach the threshold in their lifetime. It can be regarded as the ceiling of scholars with literary minds. Most of the blessings were sincere, even some old-fashioned people like Xiaobi Qinghe changed their attitude, and Ning Yan thanked them one by one. Hearing this, Shen Tang secretly winked at Chu Yao.

One person's plan is short, and two people's plan is long.

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

Chu Yao understood and nodded with a smile.

"This is indeed a great event. It's better to have 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!"

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

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.

When she said this, someone actually stood up.

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

Good guy, it’s really a double happiness!

Everyone vaguely felt that these words were a bit strange, but Luan Xin was slow to react 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 cheered: "That's what you say!"

Luan Xin is the official secretary!

If he can make him owe me some favors, he can be 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 and urged.

"Justice is what you say it is, no matter how difficult it is to achieve!"

Luan Xin then told him about his consummation ceremony.

He said slowly and lightly: "...First, gather together the ninety-nine perfected ways of the scribes; secondly, gather together the nine perfect ways of the scribes. All of you ministers are among the best among men, I believe you will not Will it disappoint the letter?"

Everyone: "...???"

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

Few people know about Luan Xin's true scribe's way. Most people only know that his scribe's way 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 Personnel is busy all year round, and Luan Xin is famous for his slowness. I don't know if 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.

Arrange it in the Ministry of Personnel, just let it be the Ministry of Personnel, the Lord must have intentions!

However, 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 scribe?

Nine ways to become a perfect scribe?

Not to mention 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 should it be someone else who has 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.

Someone whispered: "It's too hard for others."

Is it difficult? Shen Tang, the big boss, doesn't care.

Although she is the leader of a feudal society, she has the appearance of a capitalist who wants to put up 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 didn't leave, Chu Yao also stopped.

Shen Tang understood 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, letting 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 hint of horror and a look on his face that he was hesitant to speak.

"My lord, is there anything strange?"

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

When I woke up, both nostrils felt clear!

"No -" 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 did you see?"

Ning Yan: "I should have seen [Zi Xiuwu]."

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

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

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

Chu Yao was also shocked and his hands were shaking.

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

The conclusions drawn are chilling.

For people such as Chu Yao and Ning Yan who have entrusted their lives to the king, once the way of the scribes further develops, the literary spirit they retain in the loyalist Dan Mansion will evolve into the primary stage of the [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.

"Jun Jun, minister, father, father, son... 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 as equals. She is the boss 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 that was just her idea.

The monarch and his ministers have never been equal and have always been exploited.

She didn't know if the previous kings who fought against their ministers in different ways and asked them to surrender their lives knew about this hidden easter egg, but she knew she couldn't 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 bloody political struggle more intense, and the lives of the people at the bottom will only become more miserable.

It took her only a moment to make up her mind.

"You 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 now, what kind of abilities does the Lord's [Zi Xuwuwu] 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 replied in his ears: "Probably not. In this case, the Lord cannot get the core ability of the scribe."

If you get the core, it would be too unreasonable.

Ning Yan: "That is?"

"It seems to allow the incarnation of Wenqi to move remotely for a long time." Shen Tang scratched her head. This ability seemed to have no other purpose besides allowing her to seamlessly connect to 007*3. 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 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 Wenxin scholars have this hidden menu. If Wudan warriors also have it... Shen Tang is too scared to even think about it.

This world is afraid of being beaten into a sieve.

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

"Why are you here, Shaomei?"

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

"Shaomei, is there an accident over there at Feng Luo?"

Liao Jia's body was dusty and not as tidy as before. Even the flowers in her hairpin were no longer fresh. He rarely said solemnly: "Feng Luo, everything is stable. I have to take leave because of something important..."

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?"

"Your important business has something to do with this???"

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

After thinking about it, there is only one fat sheep.

He can never attack his colleagues.

Shen Tang: "..."

Lia Jia's consummation ceremony will be more damaging.

PPS: Let’s talk about an unrelated complaint. There is a post in the book review area that points out the pain points of the Empress novel or the Emperor’s Struggle 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 his head.)

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 Foreshadowing over there.
