Chapter 229: The Merit of Destroying a Country, Changes in the Imperial Examination System

Aji Khan frowned slightly, looking at the general in front of him with a little impatience.

He was so hesitant and petty, not like a good person.

"What do you want?"

"That's the Khan's head!"

"What?"

Aji Khan was slightly stunned.

However, before he could react, the general who had come close to him suddenly reached into his arms, pulled out a short knife and stabbed it quickly.

The knife light was bright, and the condensed true energy was swallowed and exhaled, and it instantly pierced into Aji Khan's chest.

"You, you, you guys."

Aji Khan looked at the general in front of him in disbelief, and then glanced at the indifferent civil and military officials around him, and a trace of misery appeared on his face.

"Great Khan, given the current situation, the Turpan Khanate is doomed to be destroyed.

In this case, why should we make unnecessary sacrifices?

Great Khan, you want to live and die with the country, but we don't.

So, we can only ask you to die."

"You, you, you will regret it."

Aji Khan said intermittently, blood gushing out of his mouth.

"Haha, it's better than dying now.

Besides, the Celestial Empire still treats us, the dignitaries outside the Ming Dynasty, with some preferential treatment.

Although we have to hand over our wealth and land.

However, we will not be put on trial.

Well, in the words of the Celestial Empire, we are not harming the people of the Celestial Empire anyway.

Only after we are incorporated into the Celestial Empire, all the laws and regulations here will be implemented in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire.

With the power we have now, even if we become civilians, it is not difficult to rise again.

What's more, we can stay away from the Celestial Empire and go to the west to establish our country again."

"Haha, that depends on whether you can live first."

Aji Khan looked at everyone, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, everyone had a bad idea in their hearts.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? That's what I mean.

Eternal Heaven is above, the Wolf God is possessed!"

"Awoo~!"

The next moment, a sad and resolute wolf howl suddenly resounded through the void.

Then, the golden giant wolf in the sky suddenly broke free from the gray and black air around it, turned into a golden light and fell down, and suddenly merged into Aji Khan's body.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

In an instant, a majestic golden force burst out from Aji Khan's body.

The nearest general was blown away in an instant as if he had hit a speeding train, and even broke a pillar behind him.

"Puff!"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he looked up in the direction of Aji Khan, smiled bitterly, and then suddenly lowered his head, instantly losing all his life.

On the other side, many civil and military ministers were also shocked by the sudden scene in front of them.

However, they also reacted quickly and mobilized their internal strength in an instant, either wanting to kill Aji Khan or wanting to escape from this place of trouble.

However, when they were circulating their internal qi, they suddenly realized that the internal qi in everyone's body was like being stuck in a quagmire, and they could not exert much power at all.

"How could it be?"

"Hahaha, if it were in the outside world, with the luck of you guys restraining me, maybe I really couldn't do anything to you.

But here, even if you can work together to block the power of the Golden Wolf God, you can quickly break free.

Moreover, I can mobilize the national destiny and the power of the Golden Wolf God to suppress all extraordinary things."

"Hehehe, you don't think that the national destiny Golden Wolf God can only protect you, right?"

Aji Khan stared at the civil and military officials in front of him with scarlet eyes, and laughed strangely and gloomyly, talking about the power of the Golden Wolf God as a vent.

Seeing Aji Khan's appearance, several officials near the palace gate couldn't help but move out a little bit.

However, the entire palace has been blocked by the power of the Golden Wolf God. How could the little actions of the people be hidden from Aji Khan?

"Hmm~? Since you want to die early, I will fulfill your wish."

Aji Khan turned his head sharply and stared at the people at the door.

"Die!"

"Aww!"

A wolf howl sounded in the hall, and a violent shock wave spread instantly. The ministers who were closest to him were instantly swept by the shock wave, and the whole person was swept away like a rag doll.

When he was still in the air, his body was broken and he died miserably.

The ministers who were farther away were also swept away by the violent shock wave, fell heavily to the ground, and gasped with their mouths wide open.

And these people were like this, not to mention the people he locked on. At the moment the wolf howl sounded, they were blown into a ball of blood mist.

In a moment, the whole hall became bloody and messy, like a Shura field.

And Aji Khan himself was not doing well. His face was as pale as gold paper, and his body was covered with bloody cracks, like a porcelain doll that was about to break.

"Hehe, I'm going to die.

But, you traitors, you have to come down and accompany me."

Ajihan lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained robe. He only moved slightly, and a pain like being cut by a thousand knives ran through his body.

He couldn't help but let out a hoarse and low fierce voice.

"Die!"

Ajihan endured the pain like being cut by a thousand knives and once again mobilized the power of the Golden Wolf God, wanting to launch the final fatal blow.

Then the next moment, he suddenly heard a tiger roar from the outside world.

"Awoo!"

A blood-colored force instantly enveloped him, instantly suppressing the power that was about to burst out in his body.

"Puff!"

Ajihan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and looked outside the hall dully.

"Hehe, is it finally here?

What a pity"

Moreover, it was really a strong force, no wonder the Celestial Empire's army could sweep across the Ming Dynasty so quickly.

It was just the power of the military formation that could actually suppress the power of the Golden Wolf God that could suppress all things.

They didn't deserve to be defeated.

Muttering in his heart for a while, Ajihan slowly closed his eyes and released the restraint on the power in his body.

"Boom!"

The next moment, infinite golden light burst out, and Ajihan's body instantly broke into pieces, and then turned into dust in the infinite golden light.

"Awoo!"

The golden light rose and gathered, and the figure of the golden wolf appeared in the air again.

But compared to before, it seemed much weaker and more illusory, and it was emitting pieces of golden light and was dying quickly.

After revealing its figure, it roared towards the outside of the city, ready to pounce.

However, at this time, the sky and the earth were filled with a strong blood light, which firmly suppressed it in place.

Outside the city, a hundred-foot blood tiger stepped into the void, and its cold and bloodthirsty eyes locked onto the Golden Wolf God.

The blood light in the sky was emanating from it.

And below the blood tiger were Wang Dahu and five thousand Tianchao soldiers.

Needless to say, the blood tiger was the military soul evolved by Wang Dahu and his men.

Looking at the Golden Wolf God, who was weak and whose golden light was constantly dissipating in the sky above the Turpan Royal City, Wang Dahu couldn't help but think.

Could it be that Aji Khan was dead?

Just when Wang Dahu was about to order an attack on the city, the Turpan Royal City suddenly opened the gate, and a group of more than a dozen people walked out slowly, shouting repeatedly.

"General, please wait, please wait, we surrender, we surrender"

When they sent people to assassinate Aji Khan, they also prepared another plan.

Regardless of whether the assassination plan succeeded or not, as long as Wang Dahu led the army to arrive, they would open the city and surrender as soon as possible to save more manpower.

Wang Dahu sat upright on his horse, frowning at the people in front of him.

This is the capital of a country, and it surrendered like this?

Could it be that they wanted to surrender falsely?

However, just when he thought of this, the military spirit above his army suddenly rolled, and a bright yellow national destiny suddenly descended and quickly spread to the surroundings.

With the death of Aji Khan and the surrender of the Turpan high-level officials, this place finally belonged to the Celestial Empire in name.

Therefore, the national destiny of the Celestial Empire could also descend without hindrance.

As the fortune of the Celestial Empire spread, Wang Dahu and others saw the golden giant wolf suddenly howling in the sky above the Turpan Royal City.

"Awoo~!"

The next moment, the golden light spots on its body suddenly accelerated several times, and the image of the golden wolf became blurred.

Then, above Wang Dahu and others, the fortune of the country suddenly gathered, and then a golden light suddenly appeared.

"Ang~!"

A golden dragon appeared, shaking its head and tail, and after making an excited dragon roar, it quickly pounced towards the Turpan Royal City, or pounced on the golden giant wolf above it.

The dragon's mouth opened and closed, and it swallowed it in one mouthful.

The next moment, endless rule power merged, making the golden dragon more mysterious. While making another loud dragon roar, it sprinkled endless golden light and quickly merged into the eyebrows of Wang Dahu and others.

In the Forbidden City of Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Chao closed his eyes slightly, combing the surging rule power.

The Turpan Khanate was naturally far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but it was also superior to Gao Yingxiang and the Tatar Tumed tribe that were destroyed before.

Needless to say, although Gao Yingxiang was the nominal leader of the righteous army, he had not yet gained momentum. He was chased away by the Ming army and fled in a panic. Naturally, he could not obtain much dragon energy and rule power.

Lin Danhan of the Tatar Tumed was superior to the Turpan Khanate.

It was a pity that the dynasty only occupied the Hetao area at the beginning, and Wang Zhenyuan killed Lin Danhan.

The dynasty did not actually occupy most of the territory.

In fact, at that time, the time to occupy a large area of ​​Mongolian grassland was not ripe.

Therefore, killing Lin Danhan would not be as beneficial as destroying Turpan.

Looking at the west, the dynasty decided to temporarily implement military control in the Turpan area after a slight hesitation.

I believe that with Wang Dahu in charge, the powerful people in those places should be honest.

Soon, the news of the Qing court signing the treaty of ceding land and paying compensation, the destruction of Wang Dahu, and the occupation of Turpan quickly spread throughout the country.

For a while, the whole country was jubilant, and a purple aura rose.

Part of it was swallowed by the dragon energy of national destiny, and part of it enveloped and descended on Wang Dahu, Wang Shi, and Li Yaohui.

This made their military spirit, in addition to the golden and red, have a touch of purple, which was the gathering of the people's hearts.

Including Wang Dahu and the other two, they were also enveloped by a purple aura, which was even comparable to blessing their national destiny.

This was the will of the people.

Of course, these purple auras were not stable, not as stable as national destiny. They would be consumed little by little as time passed and their practice.

However, they can continue to gain more people's hearts, but they have to exceed the fixed blessing of national destiny.

As these things spread, the sense of belonging of the people of the Celestial Empire to the Celestial Empire instantly reached a new level.

The Celestial Empire is indeed not comparable to the Ming Dynasty.

However, just after entering the first year of the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire won a series of victories against foreign countries.

Not only did it recover many territories, but it also destroyed Turpan, which occupied seven places in Hami. This is the real merit of destroying the country.

Then, the dynasty's rewards were also spread.

Wang Dahu was named the third-class Wu'an Duke, and was promoted from the special promotion Ronglu Doctor to the special promotion Guanglu Doctor, and was rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and the governor of Turpan's military and political affairs.

Wang Shi, the general of the Northern Expedition, was promoted to the special promotion Guanglu Doctor and rewarded with 500 taels of gold.

Li Yaohui, the general, was promoted to the general of Liaoyang, guarding Liaoyang, and was rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver.

In just over a month, Li Yaohui, who was originally just a sentry, became a general in charge of one side.

The two hundred soldiers of the Celestial Empire who originally belonged to Li Yaohui were also promoted, and many of them became sentry leaders.

This made the spread of his deeds no less than Wang Dahu's war of destroying the country.

There was no other reason, Wang Dahu's achievements in destroying the country were indeed brilliant and worthy of their pride.

But Li Yaohui and his subordinates gave them the opportunity to be promoted quickly.

It turned out that as long as they dared to fight, even if they were just a small soldier, they could quickly get promoted.

For a while, all the people of the Celestial Empire had a feeling of war and seeking war in their hearts.

Influenced by this emotion, the national destiny in the sky and the national destiny golden dragon above Shuntian Prefecture were filled with a restless tension, ready to expand outward and annex all directions at any time.

After learning about this situation, Wang Chao was both happy and distressed.

What made him happy was that the people of the Celestial Empire were not afraid of war, and what made him distressed was the lack of management staff.

In the end, the dynasty could only convene the cabinet members and the six ministers to discuss the selection of talents and the appointment of officials.

In the end, new adjustments were made to the selection of talents in various departments, and a new policy for imperial examination examiners was promulgated.

Each department can recruit specific talents for appointment according to needs, and the content of the examination is the affairs of each department.

Moreover, this does not require a fixed time, but can be recruited whenever needed.

Well, in fact, it is similar to the civil service examination in later generations.

However, with the supervision of heaven, status, and national destiny, it is much more strict, and basically there will be no favoritism and fraud.

When the policy was issued, countless scholars waiting for the imperial examination could not help but wail.

Because the sage books they read did not tell them how to do things as officials.

This is equivalent to that their learning for most of their lives was all in vain.

The only useful thing is probably to pass the examination to become an official of the Ministry of Rites.

However, officials of the Ministry of Rites are not in short supply now, and the number of people recruited is the least.

However, since the official decree has been issued, they have no choice.

Except for some who still insist on preparing to take the examination for the Ministry of Rites, most of them have begun to put down the books of sages and start to study the rules of the officials in their favorite departments.

Those who can read good books are naturally smart, and they naturally know how to make choices.

Since they can't change the national policy, they can only change themselves and follow the national trend.

With the issuance of the decree, the upper-level officials of various departments are still short of staff, but the lower-level officials are quickly filled.

As long as they go through a period of running-in and learning, the Celestial Empire will not lack management talents. (End of this chapter)
