I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.
Chapter 229 The Merit of Destroying a Nation, The Changes in the Imperial Examination System
Aji Khan frowned slightly, looking at the general in front of him with a hint of impatience.
He's indecisive and sleazy; he doesn't seem like a good person.
"what would you like?"
"That's the Great Khan's head!"
"what?"
Ajihan paused for a moment.
However, before he could react further, the general who had already approached him suddenly reached into his robes, pulled out a short knife, and swiftly stabbed him.
The blade flashed brightly, and the concentrated true energy surged forth, instantly piercing Aji Khan's chest.
"You, you, all of you."
Ajihan stared incredulously at the general before him, then glanced around at the indifferent civil and military officials, a look of despair creeping onto his face.
"Great Khan, given the current situation, the Turpan Khanate is doomed to be destroyed."
If that's the case, why should we make pointless sacrifices?
Great Khan, you wish to perish with the nation, but we do not.
So, the only thing I can do is ask you to die.
"You, you all, you will regret this."
Blood continued to gush from Ajihan's mouth as he spoke intermittently.
"Heh, it's better than dying now."
Moreover, the Celestial Empire still treated us nobles outside the Ming Dynasty with some preferential treatment.
Although we must also relinquish our wealth and land.
However, they will not hold a public trial against us.
Well, to use a Chinese proverb, anyway, the people we're harming aren't even Chinese citizens.
Only after we are incorporated into the Celestial Empire will all the laws and regulations here begin to be enforced in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire.
With the power we possess now, even if we become commoners, it wouldn't be difficult for us to rise again.
Moreover, we can also leave the Celestial Empire and go further west to rebuild our nation.
"Heh, we'll see if you can even survive."
Ajihan looked at the crowd, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, everyone had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? That's exactly what it means."
"By the Eternal Heaven above, the Wolf God possesses me!"
"Ouch~!"
The next instant, a mournful and resolute wolf howl suddenly resounded through the void.
Immediately afterwards, the giant golden wolf in the sky broke free from the shackles of the surrounding gray and black energy, transformed into a golden light and fell down, instantly merging into Aji Khan's body.
"boom!"
"boom!"
In an instant, a powerful golden force erupted from Ajihan's body.
The general who was closest to the target was thrown back as if he had been hit by a speeding train, and even crashed into a pillar behind him.
"puff!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he looked up in the direction of Ajihan, gave a bitter smile, then suddenly lowered his head and instantly lost all life.
Meanwhile, the numerous civil and military officials were also shocked by this sudden scene.
However, they quickly realized what was happening and instantly mobilized their internal power, either wanting to attack Ajihan or wanting to escape this place of trouble.
However, when they tried to circulate their internal energy, they suddenly realized that their internal energy was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to exert much power at all.
"how come?"
"Hahaha, if we were outside, with the luck of you dogs holding us back, I might really be unable to do anything to you."
However, even if you can work together to block the power of the Golden Wolf God here, you can still break free very quickly.
Moreover, I can mobilize the nation's destiny and the power of the Golden Wolf God to suppress all extraordinary beings.”
"Hehehe, you guys don't actually think that the Golden Wolf God of National Fortune only has the power to protect, do you?"
Ajihan stared intently at the civil and military officials before him with his scarlet eyes, letting out a strange and sinister laugh as he vented his frustration about the power of the Golden Wolf God.
Upon seeing Ajihan's appearance, several officials near the palace gates couldn't help but move away little by little.
However, the entire palace had been sealed off by the power of the Golden Wolf God, so how could the little tricks of the crowd escape Aji Khan's notice?
"Hmm? Since you want to die sooner, then I'll grant your wish."
Ajihan suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the people at the door.
"die!"
"Ouch!"
A wolf's howl echoed through the hall, and a violent shockwave instantly spread out. Several ministers who were closest to the center were immediately struck by the shockwave and were sent flying like rag dolls.
While still in mid-air, his body was already shattered, and he died a tragic and miserable death.
Even ministers who were further away were swept away by the violent shockwave, crashing heavily to the ground, their mouths agape as they gasped for breath.
If this was the case for all these people, then it goes without saying that those he had targeted were also instantly obliterated into a cloud of blood mist the moment the wolf howled.
In an instant, the entire hall became a bloody mess, resembling a battlefield of carnage.
Ajihan himself was also in a bad state; his face was ashen, and his body was covered with bloody cracks, making him look like a porcelain doll about to break.
Hehe, I'm going to die.
However, you traitors will all have to come down and join me.
Ajihan looked down at his blood-stained robes, and with the slightest movement, a pain as if he were being torn apart was shooting through his body.
Without hesitation, he let out a hoarse, low, and fierce voice.
"die!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Ajihan once again mobilized the power of the Golden Wolf God, preparing to unleash a final, desperate attack.
Then, in the next moment, he suddenly heard a tiger roar from outside.
"Ouch!"
A crimson power instantly enveloped him, suppressing the power within him that was about to erupt.
"Pfft!"
Aji Khan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and stared blankly out of the palace.
"Hehe, so you've finally arrived?"
pity"
Moreover, their strength was truly formidable; no wonder the Celestial Empire's army was able to sweep across the Ming Dynasty so quickly.
However, the military formation was able to reverse the situation and suppress the Golden Wolf God's power, which was originally capable of suppressing all laws.
They deserved their defeat.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Ajihan slowly closed his eyes and released the restraints on the power within his body.
"boom!"
In the next instant, boundless golden light erupted, and Ajihan's body instantly shattered into pieces, then turned into dust within the boundless golden light.
"Ouch!"
Golden light rose and gathered, reappearing the golden wolf's figure in mid-air.
Compared to before, it appeared much more listless and ethereal, constantly emitting patches of golden light as it rapidly faded away.
After revealing its form, it roared repeatedly towards the outside of the city, as if about to pounce.
However, at this moment, the world was filled with a dense blood-red light, which firmly suppressed him in place.
Outside the city, a hundred-foot-tall blood tiger stepped into the void, its cold, bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the Golden Wolf God. The blood-red light filling the sky emanated from its body.
Below Blood Tiger stood Wang Dahu and five thousand Heavenly Dynasty soldiers.
Needless to say, the Blood Tiger is the military spirit evolved by Wang Dahu and his men.
Looking at the Golden Wolf God above the capital of Turpan, who was listless and whose golden light was constantly dissipating, Wang Dahu couldn't help but ponder.
Could it be that Aji Khan is dead?
Just as Wang Dahu was about to order the attack on the city, the gates of the Turpan royal city suddenly opened, and a group of more than a dozen people slowly walked out, shouting repeatedly.
"General, please wait! General, please wait! We surrender! We surrender!"
While they were sending assassins to kill Aji Khan, they were also preparing another plan.
Regardless of whether the assassination plan succeeds or not, as long as Wang Dahu leads his army to arrive, they will surrender the city immediately in order to preserve more of their manpower.
Wang Dahu sat upright on his horse, frowning as he looked at the crowd in front of him.
This is the capital of a country, how could it just surrender like this?
Could they be trying to feign surrender?
However, just as he was thinking this, the military aura above his formation suddenly surged, and a bright yellow national fortune descended in an instant, rapidly spreading outwards.
With the death of Ajihan and the surrender of the Turpan leadership, the region finally nominally came under the rule of the Celestial Empire.
Therefore, the destiny of the Celestial Empire can also descend without hindrance.
As the fortunes of the Celestial Empire spread, Wang Dahu and the others saw the giant golden wolf suddenly let out a mournful howl above the capital city of Turpan.
"Ouch~!"
In the next instant, the golden light spots on its body dissipated at a speed several times faster, and the image of the golden wolf became blurred.
Immediately afterward, the national destiny gathered above Wang Dahu and the others, and then a golden light suddenly appeared.
"Ang~!"
A golden dragon appeared, shaking its head and wagging its tail. After letting out an excited and impassioned roar, it quickly pounced towards the Turpan Royal City, or rather, towards the golden giant wolf above it.
The dragon opened and closed its mouth, then roared and swallowed it whole.
In the next instant, endless power of rules merged in, making the golden dragon even more mysterious. As it let out another loud dragon roar, it showered down endless golden light, which quickly merged into the brows of Wang Dahu and the others.
In the Forbidden City of Shuntian Prefecture, the emperor closed his eyes slightly, sorting out the surging power of the rules.
The Turpan Khanate was naturally far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but it was still superior to the previously destroyed Gao Yingxiang and the Tatar Tumed tribe.
Needless to say, Gao Yingxiang, although nominally the leader of the rebel army, had not yet gained any power and was being chased away by the Ming army in a sorry state, so he naturally could not obtain much dragon energy or rule power.
Ligdan Khan of the Tatar Tumed was more powerful than the Turpan Khanate.
Unfortunately, the dynasty only occupied the Hetao region at that time, and Wang Zhenyuan killed Lin Danhan.
The dynasty did not actually occupy the vast majority of the territory.
At that time, the timing was not right to occupy large swathes of the Mongolian grasslands.
Therefore, killing Ligdan Khan would be less beneficial than destroying Turpan.
After glancing to the west and pondering for a moment, the dynasty decided to temporarily impose military control over the Turpan region.
With Wang Dahu in charge, I believe the powerful and the common people in those areas will behave themselves.
Soon, news of the Qing government's signing of the treaty ceding territory and paying reparations, and the defeat and occupation of Turpan by Wang Dahu, spread rapidly throughout the country.
In an instant, the whole country was filled with jubilation, and a purple aura rose.
Part of it was swallowed up by the dragon energy of the national destiny, while the rest enveloped and descended upon Wang Dahu, Wang Shi, and Li Yaohui.
This added a touch of purple to their military aura, beyond the gold and red, a sign of the people's support.
The three, including Wang Dahu, were also enveloped in a purple aura, which was even comparable to the blessing of the nation's fortune.
This is what the people want.
Of course, this purple aura is not stable, unlike the national fortune. It will gradually diminish over time and with their cultivation.
However, they can continue to gain more popular support, but this will exceed the fixed blessing of national fortune.
As these events spread, the sense of belonging of the Chinese people to the Celestial Empire instantly reached a new level.
The Celestial Empire was indeed far superior to the Ming Dynasty.
However, just as the first year of the Celestial Empire began, the Celestial Empire achieved a series of victories against foreign powers.
Not only did they reclaim many territories, but they also destroyed Turpan, which had occupied seven of Hami's territories. This was a true feat of destroying a country.
Immediately afterwards, the news of the dynasty's bestowal of honors spread.
Wang Dahu was granted the title of Third-Class Duke of Wu'an, promoted from Grand Master of the Palace to Grand Master of the Palace, awarded a thousand taels of gold, and appointed Governor-General of Military and Political Affairs in Turpan.
General Wang Shi, who was conquest of the north, was promoted to Grand Master of the Palace and awarded 500 taels of gold.
Li Yaohui, a battalion commander, was promoted to general of Liaoyang and was stationed there. He was also awarded a thousand taels of silver.
In just over a month, Li Yaohui, who was originally just a squad leader, became a general in charge of a region.
The two hundred soldiers who originally belonged to Li Yaohui were all promoted, and many became squad leaders.
This made the spread of his deeds no less significant than that of Wang Dahu's war of national annihilation.
There's no other reason than that Wang Dahu's achievement in destroying a country was indeed brilliant, something they could be proud of.
However, Li Yaohui and his subordinates showed them an opportunity for rapid promotion.
It turns out that as long as they dare to fight, even if they are just lowly soldiers, they can quickly rise in rank.
For a time, all the people of the Celestial Empire were filled with a desire for war and a thirst for battle.
Influenced by this sentiment, the national fortune in the sky and the golden dragon of national fortune above Shuntian Prefecture were filled with a restless tension, ready to expand outward and swallow up all directions at any time.
Upon learning of this situation, the dynasty was both pleased and distressed.
What's gratifying is that the people of the Celestial Empire are not afraid of war, but what's distressing is the lack of manpower for management.
Ultimately, the dynasty could only convene cabinet members and the ministers of the six ministries to discuss the selection of talent and the appointment of officials.
Ultimately, new adjustments were made to the selection of talent for various departments, and a new policy for imperial examination examiners was promulgated.
Each department can recruit specific talents to fill positions as needed, and the examination content is the affairs of each department.
Moreover, there is no need for a fixed time; recruitment can be conducted whenever needed.
Well, it's basically similar to taking the civil service exam in later generations.
However, with the supervision of the Heavenly Authority and the nation's destiny, the process is much stricter, and there is virtually no chance of favoritism or corruption.
When the policy was issued, countless scholars waiting for the imperial examinations couldn't help but wail in despair.
Because the sage books they read did not teach them how to specifically conduct official duties.
This is equivalent to them having wasted most of their lives studying.
The only useful thing was probably passing the exam to become an official in the Ministry of Rites.
However, officials in the Ministry of Rites are not in short supply right now, and the number of people recruited is the smallest.
However, since the official order had been issued, there was nothing they could do.
Apart from a few who persisted and prepared to take the exams to become officials in the Ministry of Rites, most of them began to put down the classics and instead began to study the working procedures of officials in their desired departments.
Those who can read good books are naturally intelligent; they know how to make choices.
Since they cannot change national policies, they can only change themselves and follow the general trend of the country.
As the government orders were issued, the number of senior officials in various departments remained vacant, but the positions of junior officials were quickly filled.
With a period of adjustment and learning, China will no longer lack management talent. (End of Chapter)
