Peerless Taoist

After Lu Yu took over the position, he started to implement all kinds of changes from the inside to the outside. Each policy was very powerful and targeted.    

It wouldn't be strange if such an advantage was given to an old official.    

However, Lu Yu was only a young man!    

After a long while, Fang Mingzhe sighed and said, "I'm afraid that everyone has forgotten that His Majesty is the Grand Tutor's disciple. As a Sage, the Grand Tutor naturally has methods that we can't think of to teach his disciples. In the past, Zhang Sheng established the Yellow Grain One Dream, and used the time of one dream to experience the myriad of forms in the world. I'm afraid His Majesty's experience will not be any less than ours."    

" Wen Sheng's disciple! "    

Many people lamented, their eyes filled with envy.    

Wen Sheng's direct disciple was extremely rare, and as long as one appeared, he would definitely be an extraordinary person.    

Talisman science, Zhang Xuance, and now Lu Yu, every one of them was a young and famous genius with endless fame and glory.    

Only Wen Sheng could groom such a talent.    

"Even if they are Wen Sheng's disciples, isn't it a little too extreme to do so?" A minister said helplessly.    

They knew very well that Lu Yu, as the disciple of Sage Wen, had a very high position in the Confucian Sect. They could accuse the Sovereign King of being right and wrong, but in the face of a personal disciple of the Sage, their words couldn't be too fierce, or else they would feel like insulting the Sage.    

"Back then, the New Mang Emperor also issued many decrees after he ascended the throne..."    

"Shut up!"    

Fang Mingzhe's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "We took the wrong path for His Majesty, not to rebel! His Majesty is a young and talented man. Why should the New Mang Emperor be mentioned in the same breath as His Majesty? "    

That official's expression changed. He knew that he had misspoken, so he hurriedly covered his mouth.    

At this moment, another scholar flew over from outside the door. He quickly walked to the front of the Tai Chang Pavilion and stopped. He bowed and said, "Master, seniors, there's news from the Cabinet again."    

After saying that, the scholar handed in a letter and left.    

This was a spy from the conservative faction that had been placed in the Cabinet.    

Fang Mingzhe slowly opened the letter. After reading the contents inside, he slowly closed his eyes.    

"Fang Zuiyue, what exactly is written in it?"    

Someone impatiently asked.    

Fang Mingzhe let out a long sigh and said, "Take a look for yourself."    

The letter was quickly passed down to everyone present. Everyone who saw the letter had serious expressions on their faces.    

The letter only mentioned one thing.    

Apart from the high ranking officials in charge, many of the low ranking officials in the Bureau of Finance and Business Recruitment were taken by the two offices through examinations.    

The examinations were divided into four segments.    

The written examinations, court examinations, trials, and audits.    

There were two parts to the written test. The first part was to assess the relevant knowledge. For example, the Bureau of Trade and Commerce's business, economy, local customs, management and so on. The second part was the policy, which mainly asked a few specific questions. Each candidate needed to write a targeted solution.    

The court examinations were held in the Hall of Supreme Polarity.    

Unlike the court examinations of the Imperial Examinations, there were no designated interviewers in the Hall of Supreme Polarity. They would randomly select hundreds of officials from the six departments and 24 offices. Then, they would randomly enter different examination halls to allow the candidates to defend themselves.    

The trial would be a martial arts competition. It would mainly be a test of the examinees' abilities.    

The examination was to check whether the examinees' backgrounds were clean and if there were any criminal records left behind.
