The Imperial Palace of Yi State.
Yi Zhen stayed up late reading at night.
The candle flickered twice.
He looked down as if feeling something.
The shadow cast by the candlelight rolls.
A strange thing poked its head out, its face without features opening its mouth.
This scene should have been terrifying, but neither Yi Zhen nor the attendants beside him looked strange.
A letter spat out from the strange creature's mouth and was rolled up by its tentacles and delivered to Yi Zhen.
Yizhen took it and opened it to watch. His calm expression was broken, and an uncontrollable chuckle leaked from his throat.
He collected the letter, stood up and left.
The attendant followed, but Yi Zhen stopped him, "No need to follow."
Yi Zhen arrived at the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived, and went straight to where Yi Chu was meditating.
Even though it was late at night, Yi Chu had not yet fallen asleep.
"What's the good thing?" Yi Zhen guessed his intention when he first saw his expression.
Yizhen handed the letter to his father.
After a while, Yi Chu, who also read the letter, understood why Yi Zhen couldn't wait a moment and came to him late at night to share the good news.
The goddess from Si Ye Mansion is finally taking action.
"Just do it." Yi Chu said.
He looked at Yi Zhen and said with emotion: "This is your destiny."
Once this is done, Yi Zhen will definitely be the most prominent monarch in the history of Yi State.
That night, Yi Zhen indulged himself and Yi Chu drank all night long. After not sleeping all night, he was still in high spirits and took a bath. He put on his court clothes and went to court. He joked to the civil and military officials of the court: "I had a dream last night. Suddenly Oracle.”
The faces of all the civil and military officials below were stern, and no one took this as a joke.
In the silence, Yi Zhen smiled and said: "Why didn't anyone ask me what oracle I got?"
The veteran standing in the first row on the left said: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions. "
Yi Zhen said: "Now that the country is prosperous, it is time to expand outward and unify this divided world."
It has been one year since Yizhen ascended the throne. At the beginning of the year, during another round of unified preliminary examinations across the country, the selected envoys set off to various countries.
After the preliminary examination this year, branches of night tour classes in various places accepted new students. Domestic education is in full swing, and teams of envoys have also conveyed the results of their trips back to their countries one after another.
Almost all the small neighboring countries chose to surrender, but only the big countries far away refused.
Yi Zhen sent invitations to the small surrendered countries and held a celebration banquet.
In order to show the prosperity of Yi State and to facilitate preaching in these places in the future, the leaders from various countries who were invited to attend the state banquet experienced the adventure of flying between the two places quickly.
Some of these small neighboring countries had heard about the changes in Yi State earlier and had sent spies to inquire about the news. Therefore, they were mentally prepared for Yi State's miracles, while others still refused to believe it even after hearing about it.
Both the former and the latter were shocked on the spot after experiencing it personally, and could not recover for a long time.
I was so stiff on [Yungui Hometown] that I didn’t dare to move, worried that I would fall off the cloud if I was not careful.
What's more, his face is earth-colored, and he looks weak and may faint at any time. The envoy from the State of Yi who was responsible for picking them up cordially comforted them, "No need to worry, there have been no accidents with the cloud carriages operating at the inn." He even made a joke, "As long as you are not seeking death, you can jump down on your own initiative. Nothing will happen.”
Reality proved that his jokes did not make it easy for the guests.
Really not wanting to be looked down upon by the envoy, the prince from the neighboring country who came here smiled and said, "I didn't expect to have a fairy-like experience in this life."
The envoy said: "It can only happen once. In the future, the Kaiyun Station will be built on precious soil, and you can ride on it at any time."
The prince next door was shocked and excited as he imagined what he said.
Who doesn’t have dreams about gods?
Although it is inevitable to be scared when facing it for the first time, if you ask him if he wants to have it, most people's answer is yes.
You can tell just by looking at the other people’s faces on [Yungui Hometown].
The prince next door asked: "Can we possess such divine objects?"
The envoy smiled: "Of course. But..."
The prince next door asked urgently : "But what?"
The envoy said: "However, your country is not the only one who has surrendered to attend the banquet this time. The construction of this sacred object also requires manpower and material resources, so it must be divided into two parts. Prince Xiao must perform well at this banquet and strive for more success." What a benefit."
The prince next door asked calmly: "What is a good performance?"
The envoy was very satisfied with his good behavior and whispered to him. To put it in detail, a quiet preaching was completed.
Envoys from all parties were arranged one after another into the imperial city's posthouse. There were still a few days left before the peace banquet. During this period, they were told that they could move freely in the imperial city, as long as they abide by the rules and do not do anything. Just do things that are illegal and illegal.
Prince Xiao just finished checking in and took his entourage out. As soon as he left the post house and entered the street, he could feel the atmosphere of prosperity of the people of Yi State. This atmosphere cannot be disguised, even if the surrounding buildings or the clothes of the people can Disguise, but the energy on the people’s faces cannot be faked.
The difference between the locals in the Imperial City and those from other countries is also very obvious, almost to the point of being noticeable at a glance.
Just like the locals who are very calm about the things around them, those who are always looking around and showing surprise on their faces must be outsiders.
Seeing this, Prince Xiao suddenly thought of his own people. Naturally, he couldn't see his expression now, but he turned to look at his entourage and fell silent.
"Master?" the attendant asked.
"Nothing." Prince Xiao said, walking towards the very busy restaurant ahead.
The restaurant has a signboard 'Juxian Building'.
There were many men and women dressed as literati standing outside the door?
Prince Xiao glanced at the woman in scholar's uniform in surprise.
He looked at him for a long time, and the latter noticed that he turned around to see him, glared at him displeased, and muttered in a low voice, "It's rare to see someone strange." Then he turned back.
Prince Xiao rarely encountered this kind of embarrassment. He stretched out his hand to stop the entourage who was about to denounce the other party, and asked a kind-faced scholar nearby: "What are you doing that is so lively?"
The scholar said: "There is a gathering of scholars upstairs."
It's just a literary gathering, why does it seem to be more popular among these literati than the imperial examination?
Prince Xiao looked puzzled and was about to ask again.
The scholar has already said: "Are you wondering why a literary society is so valued?"
The scholar looked proud, "This is the [Juxian Literary Association]! God's son personally sealed it Any cheating will not work in the cultural fair. Only those who have passed the test in terms of knowledge, courage, and virtue can participate, and those who can get the first place are even more remarkable. ”
"Not only that, the first-place work will be given life and become a real paradise world. Anyone who is lucky enough to participate in the cultural fair can go in and visit!" Another person next to them joined their conversation and sighed with longing: "How much is that? It is an experience that literati long for. Scholars who have heard about this tour have gained something, and they have had an epiphany on the spot and created masterpieces.”
