"Your Majesty is wise; it is indeed Princess Zhao Lingjun of the Yue Kingdom."
Nangong Qingyue said with a look of admiration.
"After all, Princess Ying Qingyue of Zhao has come, so Princess Zhao Lingjun of Yue may well come to my Taichu Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Zhao Lingjun changed her name and came to my Taichu Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination. She must be worried that the Ziji Sect, which governs Yue, will be detrimental to Yue because of her."
Nangong Qingyue, pass down the order: have your Sky Patrol Division pay close attention to the situation of the Purple Extreme Sect.
"If the Purple Extreme Sect wants to take action, even if the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion relocate the Yue Kingdom's royal family..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."
Nangong Qingyue said with utmost respect.
Li Jing nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
"Emperor Ying Hao of the Zhao Kingdom, together with the emperors of the other ten mortal dynasties formerly under the Xuan Tian Sect, have come to my Tai Chu Dynasty to offer their submission!"
Nangong Qingyue said with a solemn expression, "They will arrive in our Yanjing City today."
"oh?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said, "Order Yu Shixiong, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, to personally escort the eleven emperors to the Sifang Pavilion for temporary lodging, and there must be no negligence whatsoever!"
The original Xuantian Sect had a total of thirteen mortal dynasties under its command, plus the original Yan and Wei kingdoms, making a total of thirteen.
In other words, once the eleven emperors of the mortal dynasties submitted and the Taichu Dynasty gained control of these eleven mortal dynasties, then all thirteen mortal dynasties originally under the Xuantian Sect would be incorporated into the territory of the Taichu Dynasty.
For the Primordial Dynasty, being able to conquer the territories of these eleven mortal dynasties without firing a single shot was naturally a cause for great joy.
He also remembered the Zhao emperor Ying Hao.
Since it was Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao who, together with the emperors of ten other mortal dynasties, came to the Taichu Dynasty to present a petition of submission, it was clear that...
This involves a favor from Ying Hao, the emperor of the Zhao state.
Li Jing had no choice but to repay this favor.
It is evident from the fact that Princess Ying Qingyue of Zhao participated in this imperial examination that he hoped Li Jing would bestow this favor, or rather, the credit, upon Princess Ying Qingyue of Zhao.
Just as the Emperor of Wei surrendered to the Taichu Dynasty, Li Jing appointed Gongsun Wangshu as the commander of the Yuheng Legion of the Taichu Dynasty.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
Nangong Qingyue said respectfully.
What is the schedule for the palace examination?
Li Jing looked at Nangong Qingyue and asked.
Li Jing paid little attention to the imperial examinations, leaving them to be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Astronomical Bureau.
"Your Majesty, the specific dates have not yet been set. Minister of Rites Tantai Qiuwu's suggestion is that the imperial examinations for martial arts and literature be held in three days, and the imperial examinations for civil service in four days."
Nangong Qingyue said with a respectful expression, "It has been submitted to Lord Yan Changqing, the Grand Secretary, and is scheduled to be discussed in the Wenyuan Pavilion."
Besides that, there was the location for the palace examination.
Because of the large number of participants, Minister Tantai meant that the imperial examination of our Taichu Dynasty was called the Palace Examination.
However, it does not necessarily have to be held in the main hall of the palace.
Whether it's a written test or a military test, they can all be arranged in the Imperial Guard camp of our Taichu Dynasty.
They were arranged to be stationed at the Imperial Guard Training Ground.
This place is large enough that it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of martial artists for a martial arts test.
Furthermore, it allows those participating in the literary and martial arts examinations to witness the strength of our Taichu Dynasty's Imperial Guard, enhancing their sense of belonging to our Taichu Dynasty.
"That's a good suggestion."
"Tell Yan Changqing to proceed according to Tantai Qiuwu's suggestion."
"Whether it's a written test or a military test, I will be there in person!"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low but powerful voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nangong Qingyue said with a serious expression.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave now."
Li Jing picked up a memorial and said calmly.
While reviewing the memorials, he also checked the complete list of candidates for the civil and military examinations, as well as the relevant information that Nangong Qingyue had just given him.
He had only memorized the contents of the jade slip, but had not actually examined it yet.
With his abilities, multitasking is as easy as eating and drinking for him.
"Your humble servant takes his leave."
Nangong Qingyue bowed to Li Jing and then left the Qianqing Palace.
End of Shen Shi (3-5 PM).
A large and imposing procession marched from afar toward Yanjing City.
This team consisted of over ten thousand people, with the majority being bodyguards.
The guards' cultivation levels are at least at the Innate Realm, and there are quite a few at the Aperture Opening Realm as well.
Eleven carriages were protected by guards in the middle.
Upon arriving at the city gate of Yanjing, Shen Tu Lie, the Qi State General who was leading the guards at the forefront, raised his right hand and stopped.
Shen Tu Lie was the most famous general among the eleven mortal dynasties, a true peerless warrior.
He was nine feet tall and wielded a pair of golden hammers weighing three thousand catties each.
Even the finest warhorses could not withstand the power of the pair of golden hammers in Shen Tu Lie's hands.
Therefore, Shen Tu Lie walks on the ground instead of riding a warhorse, making him the most unique figure in this group.
Seeing Shen Tu Lie raise his right hand, the entire team slowly came to a stop.
At this moment, the guards in this group also discovered that the city gate of Yanjing had been cleared, and an elite army was standing in front of the city gate, led by two people, one a civil official of the Taichu Dynasty and the other a general of the Taichu Dynasty.
