Peerless Taoist

Zhang Xuance bowed and suddenly continued, "About ten thousand of the new officials are from the Yao Race."    

"I followed His Majesty's orders and told the Ministry of Rites to let those that meet the requirements participate in the selection test. Now that the selection is over, it's time for them to take up their positions."    

Zhang Xuance smiled bitterly and said, "But... the outside world is full of criticism."    

"Many people think that the monster race has seized their spots and demanded the court to depose these monster officials and reelect the human race."    

"Especially those who did not make it. Many of them were only one rank behind, and they were upset. Every day they would ring the bell outside the Ministry of Rites."    

Lu Yu frowned slightly. "It's not just the outside world. I'm afraid that there are also people in the Imperial Court who have opinions."    

Lu Yu had long since heard about these things through the Skynet.    

Now that Zhang Xuance had exposed him, Lu Yu immediately looked at the ministers.    

"It was my idea to let the Demon Race participate in the selection. If you have any objections, you can speak to me now."    

Hearing Lu Yu call himself 'I', many of the ministers knelt on the ground in silence.    

However, at this moment, a minister suddenly stood out from the crowd and walked in front of Lu Yu.    

He was an old man with withered hair. He was thin and wore a loose official robe. His thin body could not even support himself.    

However, his eyes were shining with the light of wisdom. He was obviously an expert who was familiar with the scriptures.    

The Minister of Personnel, Cheng Jin.    

He was a great scholar that Lu Yu had met in the Jade Cauldron Academy, and his reputation was extremely high.    

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "They don't dare to face me, so they asked Mr. Cheng to come?"    

There was no smile on Cheng Jin's face, nor was there any fear. Instead, he said calmly, "It's not that they forced me, but I want to ask His Majesty."    

"Please speak, sir."    

"His Majesty had driven away Fang Mingzhe, the Crown Prince's son, and the Grand Secretary was the one who brought about the revolution. Everyone knows that Great Qin is at the peak of its power."    

"But His Majesty's actions are too fast. There are some details that need our advice."    

Cheng Jin said, "Does His Majesty know about Di Xin?"    

"Of course he does."    

"Di Xin was once the emperor of the human race, but he was bewitched by Da Ji. He was addicted to wine and women." Cheng Jin asked.    

"Of course, it was because Di Xin was useless. He was bewitched by the Yao Race and died."    

Lu Yu said indifferently, "The Ancient Heavenly Emperor intimidated the ghosts and gods. Even the most terrifying Vicious Beasts in the world prostrated themselves in front of him and worked for him. If Di Xin can't do it, it means that he's useless. That's all. "    

Cheng Jin frowned. "But Da Ji's bewitchment might be the reason."    

"Han You, Dong Zhuo, Song You, and Qin Yang are both humans. Don't you think that Great Qin should stop recruiting human officials?" Lu Yu said lightly.    

Cheng Jin was speechless for a moment.    

He slowed down for a while and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the ancient demon race outside the Two-Realm Mountain is aggressive. I am worried that if the demon race enters the center, they will really cause irreversible damage to Great Qin."    

"It's precisely because we have to deal with ancient demons and creatures from outer space that we need the power of the demon race even more."    

Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "I know that many people are worried that the demon race will rise up and seize the benefits that should belong to them."    

"But let me tell you, you are all wrong."    

"We, the Great Qin, stand on the East Victory, the place closest to the Mountain of the Two Realms. The Son of Heaven guards the gate, and the King dies for the country. It is not to enjoy wealth and wealth, but to inherit the will of the ancient Great Qin and restore the territory of the Heaven Realm."    

"Do you think I'm doing anything wrong? There's obviously an Imperial Examination, but I still have to hold an official selection every year."    

"I can tell you that when the Mountain of Two Realms falls and the Heavenly Dao is shattered, it will be the end of the Heaven Realm. At that time, the entire Heaven Realm will be in a calamity."    

"Many living beings will die. Countless humans and monsters will die. Because many people will die, the old imperial examinations will be abolished because there won't be enough time to replace them."    

"The first question of the theory examination was given by me. It's a question from a god, and only those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Heaven Realm can pass."    

"Those beasts knew what they would face from the moment they participated in the official selection."    

Lu Yu stood up and looked around. His voice was forceful, "Are you going to stop them from dying?"
