Chapter 408: Chapter 214: The Will of the People_3

Among the crowd that remained, the merchant who opened their mouths to speak earlier and the others such as the official who followed suit, exchanged knowing glances with each other before quietly retreating and moving on to the location of the next official notice.

Yes.

The people who had guessed correctly in the crowd earlier were indeed plants.

However, they were not arranged by Southsea Country but by Changsha Country.

The purpose was to, to the best extent possible, encourage the scholars of Southsea and Ninghai countries to serve Changsha Country.

These moles were arranged two months ago and should have been activated long before.

But at that time, Southsea Country was busy managing internal affairs and had no time to pay attention to Lu Yuan’s request for help, so the matter was delayed.

It dragged on until now.

These arranged spies and plants finally began to take action.

As for the effect?

So far, it seemed to be quite good.

Nanhai City, Yongning District.

“Brother Chen, Brother Chen.”

Wei Qingsheng pushed open the door of his friend’s house and rushed in excitedly.

“Brother Wei.” Chen Wenbin came out and looked helplessly at his restless friend, asking, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Qingsheng excitedly asked, “Did you hear about the recruitment order from Changsha Country?”

Chen Wenbin nodded, “I’ve heard about it.”

Wei Qingsheng hurriedly asked, “Are you planning to take the exam, Brother Chen? There are more than a thousand openings!”

Chen Wenbin replied, “Of course I am planning to go. I was just packing my luggage, preparing to say goodbye to Brother Wei, and then head north to take the exam.”

Wei Qingsheng was dissatisfied as he said, “When Brother Chen goes to take the exam, why not invite me along?”

Chen Wenbin said helplessly, “Your uncle serves as an official in the country and has even become a county magistrate. He has connections. You can develop within the country, so why bother traveling thousands of miles to serve like me?”

Wei Qingsheng snorted coldly, “My uncle barely managed to keep his position as a county magistrate due to his jinshi (imperial examination title) status. But even so, his position is being watched by those Jianghu ruffians.

How could he have the energy to help me find a way?

Moreover, Southsea Country does not make use of scholars like us, but instead lets those who only know fighting and killing govern the country.

In the past, any of us who held the juren (imperial examination title) could become officials, couldn’t we?

But now, even seeking a minor position is unattainable.

With such chaotic national politics, I think Southsea Country won’t last long.

On the other hand, the King of Changsha is said to have entrusted all national affairs to the Left and Right Chancellors, who are all scholars like us, and has managed to restore the previously devastated Changsha country to prosperity.

Now he is even more courteous to scholars and has issued a recruitment order. His thirst for talented scholars is no less than that of the ancient wise kings.

I have also heard that the King of Changsha is leading the troops northward, defeating the Zhou people in the north of the river, and gaining continuous victories.

Such a character, skilled in both civil and martial arts, is a wise monarch that we seek in troubled times.

In comparison.

The ruler of Southsea Country is stupid, old, and full of treacherous people in the country. This doomed country is of no use.

Being an official here is a self-inflicted calamity.”

After hearing these heartfelt words, Chen Wenbin couldn’t help but express his agreement, “Brother Wei, what you said is exactly what I think. In that case, why don’t you go back and prepare? Let’s head north to Changsha together tomorrow to find a wise monarch and realize our ambitions.”

Wei Qingsheng laughed, “That’s more like it. Brother Chen, you continue packing, and I’ll go back to prepare. We’ll set off together tomorrow.”

Laughing, Wei Qingsheng hurried in and hurried out, eager to go back quickly and prepare.

At the same time.

Similar scenes were happening in various places in Southsea Country, and even Ninghai Country, one after another.

A large number of Lingnan scholars began to gather friends and pack their belongings, heading toward the northern holy kingdom of their dreams.

Under the neglect or deliberate abandonment of Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, the hearts of scholars and even the popular sentiment in Southsea and Ninghai countries were like surging tides, sweeping along the momentum of the imperial examination and heading toward Lu Yuan.

However, at the time when this huge wave was sweeping through.

On October 20th in the seventh year of Hongdao, Lu Yuan temporarily entrusted his own disciple Zhou Qing with the army in Baling County. He then left the battlefield with Anqiu True Person, and the two silently returned to Yangshan Prefecture.

The reason was simple.

Just two days ago, he received a message from over there that the altar for worshiping the Heavenly Pillar was finally built properly after more than a year.

Now, it was time to go and worship once to settle the mind of Anqiu True Person.

And then send away this person who had been following him all the time, reminding him to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book as soon as possible.

Truth be told.

Having been urged by this true person of Dan Ding Path all these days, Lu Yuan had also become quite annoyed.

Fortunately, the altar was finally built, and he could finally get rid of this trouble.

Even if it was only temporary.
