Thousand Autumn Dynasty.

Hall of Heaven's Tribute.

This man was the fifteenth emperor of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, Qiuhai Jun. He was known as the Flame Emperor, and in front of him was a general dressed in a black armor and a black iron sword, this man was the number one martial general of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, also known as Ai Yeshi's father. It was reasonable to say that the Hall of Heaven's Tribute was the place where the Flame Emperor usually gave his approval to the Emperor, but logically speaking, it was impossible for Ai Lun to bring his sword in, but in the Flame Emperor's heart, there was another person dressed in a large black armband, and beside him was the prime minister, who was also Jin Rui's father.

Flame Emperor handed a scroll to the two of them and said, "This is the scroll of an examinee for this year. My dear ones, please take a look."

"Good calligraphy," Jin Kai couldn't help but exclaim in praise the moment he received the scroll, "This calligraphy is vigorous and forceful, like a dragon in the sea or a fierce tiger in the forest. It seems to have the aura of a ruler descending from the heavens."

"A ruler descending upon the world." Flame Emperor carefully savored these words with an expression that was difficult to decipher.

Jin Kai also felt that what he just said was incriminating. If the Flame Emperor was the true monarch and he said that the word had the power of a monarch, then wouldn't the person who wrote the word be the monarch?

This is an outrageous crime.

Jin Kai hurried to pay his respects: "Your Majesty, it was this old subject who spoke wrongly.

Flame Emperor smiled and waved his hand, "Prime Minister doesn't need to care. When I first saw this word, I had the same feeling, but I couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it.

Everyone in the imperial court knew that Jin Kai was the loyal subject of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and that there was no way he could have such a reaction. These words were obviously a slip of the tongue, the Flame Emperor was open-minded, and did not care about such things.

Ai Lun laughed out loud: "This humble subject's language does not have the talent from Prime Minister, I do not know whether these words are good or bad, but I feel that these words contain a killing intent, like a sword, and that if this person were to learn martial arts, he would most likely be a rare talent."

Flame Emperor smiled, "General Ai Lun is right, a scholar's writing skills are usually soft. This is the first time I have seen killing intent in these words, I feel that this person must have cultivated both martial and civil skills."

"Di Chen?" Jin Kai read the names on the scroll and then continued to read the paper. There was not a single mistake on the first few questions, which was normal, as there were a lot of talented people in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and a lot of dead knowledge, so many people would not make a mistake. The key point was to see how the article was written, and when he saw the first sentence of Di Chen's essay, his face immediately revealed a look of anger, and he slapped the table: "What a rebellious person, Your Majesty.

"Hmm?" Flame Emperor laughed and asked curiously: "Just now the Prime Minister was praising him well, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to kill this person?"

Jin Kai pointed to the scroll and said: "This first sentence, 'The heavens and the earth are heartless, but everything is useless.' If the heavens are merciful, then there would be no such thing as' everything else '. Furthermore, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he means the Son of Heaven, he said that the heavens are heartless, he said that the Thousand Autumn Dynasty is heartless, he said that this is disloyal, this kind of person might be hostile to all of our Thousand Autumn Dynasty, shouldn't we kill him? "

Flame Emperor smiled, "What Prime Minister said makes sense. General Ai, what do you think?"

Ai Lun laughed bitterly: "Your majesty, you know that this humble subject is a boor, but you do not know the reasoning behind it. It's just that I think that Prime Minister's interpretation is a bit too much."

Jin Kai retorted: "General Ai's words are wrong, look at this article, it is clear that he is lamenting about the injustice of the world, that every word has a killing intent, and that he has a crafty heart, I am afraid that he has met with some huge calamity, and always thinks that the heaven and earth is unfair to him, and that he is a little narrow-minded, but from this, I can see that he is a person who has both the arts and the martial arts, or even a saint, if such a person were to stay, it would be disadvantageous for the Thousand Autumn Dynasty."

There was a chance for both civil and martial arts to become saints, so which of these Martial Region Continent s could do it?

Ai Lun said in a speechless manner: "You scholars only have all sorts of perverted logic. I am talented, not born well, so is it wrong to sigh at the injustice of fate?"

Jin Kai said seriously: "Only those with talent would have ill intentions towards us, such people are especially important to us, Your Majesty, I recommend that we kill this man as soon as possible, since our Thousand Autumn Dynasty does not lack any talent, although few can compare to this man, losing even one will not be a problem."

That was true, but in reality, Jin Kai had also been a judge before. He was very clear on the level of all the examinees in the history.

Ai Lun said: "I say, Prime Minister, your thoughts are truly narrow-minded. If this person truly had ill intentions towards us, how could he possibly participate in the Imperial Examinations."

The two of them were at odds with each other and had different opinions. They were on the verge of arguing.

I know that you two are thinking for the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, but you can't be hasty about this. Whether this person is loyal or not, I will send people to investigate, and we will not let him enter the list this time. As for this article, for now, keep it, you can't reveal it, go ahead. "

Naturally, there were a lot of people who would think like the Prime Minister. Flame Emperor did not know if the person who wrote this article had some sort of ill intention, but he knew that if this article were to be leaked, many people would definitely have some kind of bad intention.

In ancient times, there was a scholar who could change the fate of mountains and rivers with just a single article. This was similar to the legendary Heavenly Poems where she could defeat an army of a thousand men with a single word.

Ai Lun and Jin Kai knew that the Flame Emperor was someone who kept his word. There was no one who could change his decision, so they could only nod and leave.

Not long after the two of them left, a young man walked out from behind a screen. He was around seventeen or eighteen years old, and his heroic spirit was overpowering.

Flame Emperor looked at him and asked, "You heard what Prime Minister and General Ai Lun said just now. What do you think?"

Qiu Tang laughed: The words of the Prime Minister and General Ai are reasonable, but one of them is too careful, too careful, he easily took the life of the person, if he truly has any ill intentions, then we should naturally kill him, but if he does not, then we would lose a great genius, and General Ai is also a crude person, his thoughts are not meticulous enough, I think we should first investigate this person before coming to a conclusion.

The Flame Emperor laughed, "I also have the same idea. I'll send you to investigate this person's background and get to know him. If he really is a talent without any reversals, then he'll be mine. If he truly has a heart of his own, then I'll kill him."

Qiu Tang clasped his hands together, "Yes, this son will go right now."

As he spoke, he left the Hall of Heaven.

Being able to write such an article made him both scared and happy. If this person was loyal, then it would be the pleasure of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and if this person was adulterous, it would be the disaster of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty.

In the hundreds of years of the Flame Emperor's reign, this was the first time he had been so concerned about an exam candidate.

This was the first time Thousand Autumn Dynasty had sent a prince to investigate an exam candidate.

The Flame Emperor suddenly became impatient to see this person. He thought to himself, "He must be an interesting fellow."

The heavens and earth are heartless?

The Flame Emperor's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked up and said, "The world is heartless to begin with. I, Qiuhai Jun, will destroy the heavens sooner or later."

...

During this period of time, Jin Rui and Ai Yeshi did not come look for trouble with Di Chen. Other than training, Di Chen would play around with Lin Tao, Shang Yu and Qin Suer.

On this day, Di Chen had an appointment with Xiao Shengnan and the others to look at the rankings. Every five years, Thousand Autumn Dynasty would take the examinations, and every time, there would be a hundred people who entered the rankings. Every person who entered the Thousand Autumn Dynasty would become famous throughout the world.

When Di Chen saw the names on the list, he knew that the tenth place was Xiao Shengnan. With hundreds of millions of people in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, it was already not easy to get on the list, and to get to the tenth place?

In the past, the top ten ranked officials of the imperial court had the possibility of becoming saints, and there were many Chinese saints among them.

Xiao Shengnan said excitedly: "I never expected to be in the top ten! Di Chen, did you see me?"

Di Chen was already mentally prepared, he did not expect to be able to enter the top ten. After all, there were too many talents in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, he only hoped to be able to enter the rankings.

"I failed," Di Chen said, disappointed. He had always hoped to change his fate through the Imperial examinations, although he could now cultivate, he had never given up on this wish.

It was still the first time Shang Yu had seen Di Chen's sorrowful look, and she consoled, "Big Brother Di Chen doesn't need to mind, you can already cultivate now, so what if you don't get on the leaderboard?"

Qin Suer comforted her: "That's right, Di Chen, you are talented and threatening, I believe you are not inferior to those on the list, if you fall today, you can take the examination again in the future."

However, the Imperial Examinations were held every five years, and life was in a hurry. Where did all these years come from?

Lin Tao did not mind at all and said: "I've told you before, if you want to take any examinations, that's fine too. If you fail, you can go to Sky Realm Academy."

had interacted with him many times, and knew that his literary skills were outstanding. was also surprised, and laughed: "Di Chen, your literary skills are better than mine, maybe the reason why you lost is because your essay and the judge's idea are opposite, he doesn't like it, it's just that your luck is bad."

That was the truth. Every head judge had different tastes and perspectives, so it was natural for them to have different judges review the dossier for different results. But no matter what, Di Chen had still failed.

Di Chen let out a long sigh, then laughed: "You don't have to comfort me, I'm fine, my life is not as good as yours, and even though I am not ranked, I can still take the Sky Realm Academy test.

Previously, Di Chen could not learn martial arts, which was why he wanted to participate in the Imperial examinations.

Although Di Chen had failed, he was still a Level 9 Scholar. This Martial Region Continent did not have many Scholars in the first place, and the people on the list were not much stronger than Di Chen.
