"I think it's better not to let him continue to participate in the palace examination. I'm afraid he will be in danger."
Kong Hanan said seriously.
To be favored by Confucius, Zhong Kui must have not cheated in the exam.
But no matter whether Zhong Kui had another fortuitous encounter later or acquired the ability through hard study, it is still better to avoid taboos.
The underworld is short of talent, but there is no need to let Zhong Kui die early. He is still young and has a bright future.
In Kong Hanan's previous life, when the imperial examination system was already mature, there would generally be a month's interval between the joint examination and the palace examination.
But the current Da Qi is still different from Kong Hanan’s previous life.
Putting aside the small probability that monks may become officials, ordinary officials have talents and national fortunes that can be used, which greatly increases the speed of saving papers.
Moreover, the system was not as perfect as that of later generations, with things like covering names and cross-provincial examinations.
Kong Hanan had no intention of participating in court affairs, nor did he bother to offer any suggestions for reform. He only cared about his own people.
Confucius smiled and shook his head.
"The palace examination is in the imperial city, what danger could there be?"
"Let's go to the Imperial Study. It's time to pray for the late emperor. Do you mind using your auspicious cloud to take my uncle with you?"
Brother Meng Yu has not returned yet and seems a little disappointed with the court. Confucius now has no one to drive him.
The wooden ox cart was a product of the Mohist school. The Mohists rebelled against the imperial court, and although Meng Yu returned the cart frame, Confucius refused to sit on it.
"Why would I mind? You're embarrassing me."
Kong Hanan moved his mind, and auspicious clouds spread out, lifting up Confucius.
After becoming a god, Kong Hanan became more and more able to multitask. While flying towards the imperial city under the guidance of Kong Sheng, he was also thinking about Zhong Kui's affairs.
The current Da Qi is not the Tang Dynasty of Kong Hanan’s previous life.
Although good-looking officials are pleasing to the eye, it is not the case that they cannot be officials if they are ugly.
Moreover, the prime minister is Confucius, so with him around, there should be no slander.
However, the one presiding over the palace examination was the Crown Prince...
This prince had a very average evaluation from both Meng Yu and the previous Mr. Dong.
Kong Hanan still remained a little cautious.
He was in the capital, but he had other things on his hands and didn't know what trouble he would have in saving the old emperor.
Then, a thought was passed down and reached Qin Guang's heart in the underworld.
"Linzi sent some people to protect Zhong Kui during the palace examination."
If we say that the previous "communication system" was a skill used by righteous gods to communicate on a large scale, it could not cross boundaries.
Then, this thought is the "divine will" of God, which can be directly transmitted across boundaries and into the hearts of devout believers, which is equivalent to a unilateral means of communication.
However, devout believers can also inform the gods through prayer or other means that they have received the message.
Qin Guang’s feedback came quickly.
"We haven't been able to appoint a City God in Linzi yet. The five thieves have already set out from the nearest town in Donghai County and should arrive before tomorrow's palace examination."
Linzi is located in Langya County. The current captain of Langya County in the underworld is a ghost cultivator from the Jade Emperor's lineage. According to the previous agreement, he has only been in the underworld for a short time.
Qin Guang also likes to leave a way out when doing things or speaking. If he says "should", it will definitely happen.
Not to mention the current strength of the Five Thieves and their special laws of space, they had previously recruited a "special ghost" named Qianlizu, who ran very fast, and Kong Hanan remembered him.
The Five Thieves have recently resolved their heart tribulations and have led their team to patrol the front lines of the war with the Netherworld many times. They have grown a lot and have become five steady generals. Among them, Zhou Kumen has an old acquaintance with Zhong Kui, so Kong Hanan is relieved to let them come.
Now that he had dealt with the matter here, Kong Hanan focused on the present.
The old emperor of Da Qi, a legendary hero, unified the world, but in the end he did not have a good end and his body has been kept for so long. I wonder how much resentment he has and what kind of ghost hero he will eventually become.
Kong Hanan really wanted to meet him and also had some questions he wanted to ask him.
The Imperial Palace is also called the Imperial City because it covers a large area, has city walls and gates, which is equivalent to the inner city of Linzi.
I have to say that the Da Qi Palace in this life is quite luxurious, and is not inferior to the Forbidden City in Kong Hanan’s previous life.
After all, the Mohist school had once served in the court of Da Qi and provided a lot of help in the renovation of the imperial city.
It's a pity that Confucianism began to dominate, and coupled with the prejudice of the times, a group of skilled craftsmen eventually boarded the black ship of the underworld.
But this is not bad...
At least under Kong Hanan's protection, they will not live too badly, and Kong Hanan has also obtained very valuable skills.
As the sun sets, the palace is beautiful, with its exquisite carved beams and painted buildings.
It has to be said that in the feudal period, even in the world of immortals and heroes, the imperial city condensed the essence of the entire world.
Although he is a god, he still has to be careful when walking in the imperial city.
The architecture of the entire imperial city has implicit rules and forms a subtle formation.
This resulted in Kong Hanan not being able to increase his speed even when flying on the clouds.
He has to move according to a certain pattern.
Moreover, he is currently just a clone of a deity.
Confucius introduced it on the side.
"This is a masterpiece that the teacher spent thirty years setting up. If someone with extraordinary power appears in the imperial city without a token or an escort, the formation will be activated quickly. Believe me, you don't want to experience it."
"When the teacher was trapped in the imperial study, it was actually because of this formation that the various factions took advantage of it. The teacher was able to escape with the eldest prince's lineage, and he also borrowed this formation."
"It's a pity that this formation is no longer as perfect as it once was... After all, there is no other teacher in the world."
