Peerless Taoist

"Oh? What do you do?"    

Lu Yu curiously looked at the young man in front of him from head to toe.    

The young man looked to be in his twenties, and the official robe he was wearing proved that his rank was not high. The Great Yu Imperial Court used the color of the official robe to distinguish the rank. Generally, only eighth to ninth ranks would wear a green robe.    

"I am Chen Xian, and I have just passed the selection test of the Cabinet. I have taken up the role of walking in the Cabinet."    

At this point, a hint of pride flashed across Chen Xian's face.    

He was an Elementary Scholar of the Imperial Capital Region, and if he wanted to become an official, he would need to go through the Imperial Capital Region's Galaxy trials to barely qualify as a High Scholar.    

As for the Galaxy Trials, they were held once every three years. If he wanted to participate, he would have to wait until next year.    

However, ever since Lu Yu had opened the entrance examinations, many people who had yet to become officials had also found an opportunity.    

Those who were under fifty years of age, with a pure body, who did not hold important positions in the sects outside the city, could participate in the exam!    

This had completely broken the rules of the imperial court's selection of talents since ancient times, and had even set a precedent!    

While being criticized by countless conservative officials, the Ministry of Rites announced the recruitment list. Not only were there two newly set yamen, but even the Cabinet, the Six Departments, and various levels of officials were recruited. The officials they recruited were rank 8 and below officials.    

This was a chance to defy the heavens and change fate.    

All of a sudden, everyone's emotions were stirred up, and countless people swarmed over.    

The registration time was five days, but there were simply too many people. The Ministry of Rites had no choice but to set up over a hundred registration points to accept the registration.    

As for the Cabinet, although it was only a Rank Nine Official, it was close to the central hub, so the competition was extremely intense!    

This time, the Cabinet was recruiting a hundred people, and the number of people registering had already reached a terrifying five million people!    

After the selection, the talents that came out were truly one in ten thousand!    

"Brother, which yamen are you working in?"    

Chen Xian sized up Lu Yu and found that he was not wearing an official robe. He could not help but be curious.    

The four halls and two pavilions were all located in the Imperial Palace. Anyone who entered or exited would need to wear a formal robe. Some of the officials would wear official robes, and even the officials would wear special uniforms. It was extremely strict.    

Lu Yu was currently wearing a luxurious brocade robe. It looked extremely expensive, but no one could guess his identity.    

The surrounding inner pavilion people also looked at Lu Yu with curiosity.    

Many of the people in the Imperial Palace had their own matters to attend to. However, this was the first time Lu Yu walked back and forth in such a leisurely manner.    

Lu Yu smiled faintly and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the door to the Central Hall suddenly open.    

A row of bookkeepers walked out with memorials in their hands. These memorials had already been approved and had to be quickly passed on to You Si.    

"New cabinet member, take a step forward. The first assistant is about to give a lecture."    

A purple-robed official walked out from the middle of the hall and said with a calm expression.    

Everyone immediately started to dress up, and their faces were filled with anticipation.    

Several officials walked out of the hall, all of them wearing purple robes. These people were all scholars in politics.    

Among these people, a large red official's robe appeared especially bright. Li Si, who was dressed in an official's robe, walked over with big strides, and his imposing manner spontaneously arose.    

Li Si was not old, but he had been in a high position for a long time. Over time, every move he made had developed a sense of wealth. This kind of aura could not be described with words, and could only be vaguely sensed.
