Peerless Taoist

It could be said that Zhang Xuance was even more important than the Zhang family's Family Head in some sense.    

After reading a few scripts, Zhang Xuance's brows furrowed more and more, and his face remained as sunken as water.    

An examiner by the side saw Zhang Xuance's expression and asked, "Sir, are the examinees this time not agreeable?"    

This was an official from the Ministry of Rites, who was also in charge of reviewing the examination papers this time.    

"The ceremonial music has collapsed. Look at these examination papers. The meaning is almost the same. They are all written expressions. They should have been memorised before the examination. Right now, cultivators in the Heaven Realm all want the luck of the Heaven Dynasty, but how could they know that the luck of the Heaven Dynasty is so easy to obtain? "    

Zhang Xuance casually picked up a paper and shook his head coldly." This person is a High Scholar from the East Victory Galaxy. He is already in the Human Immortal Realm at the age of eighteen. He is also considered a talent, but his strategic subjects are simply a mess. As long as I am strong enough to suppress whoever rebelled, it will be fine. If I am unable to suppress them, I will transfer the imperial court's army to suppress the rebellion. Hmph! What's the difference between such a person and a trash!"    

" Originally, I used my strength to intimidate all the sects and factions, and used all sorts of methods to make them break down. Only then could we live in peace. In the ancient times, we had never heard of any cultivation sect paying taxes to the imperial court. But the Imperial Court did. It is precisely because of this that we need people who are capable of doing practical things. And not these so-called powerhouses and geniuses. If we really want them to do that, we might as well not take the Imperial Examinations. Wouldn't it be fine if the Imperial Court's Imperial Guards and the experts of the Imperial Court were to manage the various regions?"    

Zhang Xuance tossed the script to the side and said in a deep voice, "When all of you are reviewing the scripts, remember to be careful and serious. Although there is a shortage of people at the front lines, we have to defend the red line for the Imperial Court. What should be dismissed must be dismissed. This time, it's better to be lacking than to be inferior!"    

All the examiners felt a chill in their hearts and cupped their hands in agreement.    

Everyone knew that Zhang Xuance's character was quite strict.    

He was originally the imperial censor of the capital's Public House. Later on, because he had repeatedly submitted a memorial suggesting that the Imperial Court remove the power of the Wealthy Class and aristocratic families, he had offended quite a number of people before being transferred to the Ministry of Rites.    

However, even so, because of his relationship with the Tycoon Zhang Hong, those people he had offended did not dare to provoke him.    

"Qingdang is a firm wall and clear, constantly harassing the enemy on the path that the Chen Dynasty must pass. He also set up a large number of killing formations. Send people to negotiate with Chen Chao and threaten him with a life and death battle. They tried to buy as much time as possible. At the same time, send Elite Armaments to sneak attack the back of the Chen Dynasty... This idea is rather strange."    

Zhang Xuance suddenly saw a scroll and raised his eyebrows.    

He opened a corner of the paper and the words "Imperial Capital, Xu Tiangang" were written on it.    

"So it's the genius of the Xu Family, the new chief disciple of the National Supervising Department?" Zhang Xuance took a few more glances.    

Every chief disciple of the Imperial Court would spread throughout the entire Heaven Realm. From top to bottom, no one in the Imperial Capital would not know the names of these geniuses.    

In comparison, the chief disciples of the five academies would usually only be announced when the Imperial Examinations began.    

"This test, his answer is not bad." Zhang Xuance muttered.    

Each of these schemes was not baseless, but had been accurately explained.    

Xu Tiangang had even accurately described the number of cultivators left in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the storage of magical equipment and spirit stone.    

This was definitely something that could only be done when one had studied the annals of history to the extreme and remembered every detail clearly.
