I'm a scumbag

Chapter 495 To the East China Sea
Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because my heart hurts so deeply.

Before the exchange, Ning Chen knew that the things that could be exchanged inside would drive him crazy with surprises.

After all, lifespan can be exchanged, what else can't be done?

It was only when Ning Chen really saw the interface that he could exchange, that Ning Chen realized that he was still a small person.

Let's put it this way, as long as you have enough reputation, you can be invincible in place.

As for the present, Ning Chen can exchange two months of life, and then there will be 132 reputation points left.

132 prestige points can be exchanged for a warrior's breakthrough pill.

What is the use of Breaking the Realm Pill, purely literal meaning.

And it is written clearly that below the third rank, any critical state can be broken through.

If this elixir was taken out, it would be enough to beat the brains of those brainless warriors into dog heads.

You can make Ning Chen free in Dawu's wealth casually.

But for Ning Chen now, it doesn't matter anymore.

Because Ning Chen didn't plan to change it, the reputation is life for Ning Chen.

600 prestige points for a month, Ning Chen didn't dare to act recklessly.

"I worked hard for three months just to live for two more months, no matter how I think about it, I will lose blood." Ning Chen, who had exchanged two months of life yuan, felt extremely depressed in his heart at this moment.

Although depressed, at least Ning Chen is not so afraid of death now.

Ning Chen believed it first, as long as he worked hard to be a sycophantic minister, he guaranteed he would be able to live.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Wu Zhao, who had been sitting dignifiedly at the head, finally spoke.

"Today's succession of the crown prince ceremony is all due to the merits of the ministers. I would like to offer a toast to everyone."

Wu Zhao opened his mouth, and immediately all the officials stood up to express their gratitude.

After drinking, no one returned to their seats immediately. Everyone knew that Wu Zhao had something to say next.

The Ceremony of Establishing the Crown Prince has successfully ended, and the next step is to reward meritorious deeds.

And whoever contributed the most is obviously Ning Chen.

Sure enough, Wu Zhao opened his mouth and announced the bestowal on Ning Chen:
"This time, Ning Aiqing handled the ceremony very well. This Palace has decided to promote Ning Chen, the Chief Registrar of the Imperial Academy and the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, to the Doctor."

Everyone knew that Ning Chen would be promoted, but the place where he was promoted still surprised all the officials.

Where is the Imperial Academy, the highest institution that manages the world's schools, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the teacher of the world's students.

The Ministry of Officials is the place that manages the examinations and class setting of officials all over the world.

Letting Ning Chen directly work in these two places is completely equivalent to using Ning Chen as Wu Zhao's confidant.

On the one hand, select available people among the students in the world, and on the other hand, take care of them in official positions.

Don't look at these two positions, they are all from the fourth rank, but this is an absolute position of real power.

As a result, the officials' attitude towards Ning Chen began to undergo some subtle changes.

Now that Emperor Shun is clearly on the throne and Wu Zhao, it will be a matter of time before Wu Zhao inherits the throne.

With Ning Chen's current status, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, the future Minister of the Ministry of Officials, or even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will definitely not be able to escape.

And generally speaking, the prime ministers of the Great Wu Dynasty all came from the Ministry of Officials.

So Ning Chen is the seed of the future prime minister.

At that time, Ning Chen will really be the big boss of the court with a lot of power.

"Your Highness, I have objections." Just after Wu Zhao announced the resolution, before Ning Chen could thank you, someone stood up and objected.

Ning Chen subconsciously glanced at Sun Kejian, and found that Sun Kejian's mouth was open, but it was obviously not his turn to speak this time.

Someone snatched what he was going to say.

Wu Zhao didn't show any displeasure on his face, instead he said kindly to the man who spoke, "Master Zhou thinks there's something wrong?"

Looking at the old man who was talking, Ning Chen's mind quickly appeared this information.

Zhou Dingzeng, Secretary of the Imperial Academy, the second in command of the Imperial Academy except for offering sacrifices to wine.

At the same time, he is also the enlightenment teacher for the children of the royal family.

Whether in the royal family or among the students in the world, he has a high prestige, and he is a great Confucianist in the world.

Of course, this great Confucian is a great Confucian in a pure sense of learning, not a great Confucian in the Confucian practice system.

As a matter of fact, Master Zhou has really made no achievements in the Confucian practice system.

I have read books for decades, but I have just entered the Confucian Seventh Rank to cultivate quietness.

And at his current age, it is estimated that in this life, he will be in such a state, and it will be difficult to improve.

However, many people also said that this Zhou Dingzeng was definitely the strongest in the Confucian cultivation environment.

Because he has read too many books, especially his achievements in poetry, which are almost unmatched by anyone.

Even Guozijian Jijiu, who hardly shows up, a great Confucian in the real Confucian system who established his destiny, felt that Zhou Dingzeng would definitely be able to write eternal quatrains, and leave his name in history by virtue of his literary environment.

Because of this, Zhou Dingzeng's reputation became even more violent.

Many rich people are even willing to buy Wan Jin just to buy one of his poems and put them at home to decorate their style.

After this Zhou Dingzeng's message quickly flashed through his mind, Ning Chen was also waiting to see if Zhou Dingzeng could refute him and start an event selection.

The probationary period has passed, and Ning Chen has figured out some rules.

If you want to trigger an event, it must first have an event, and the event is still big.

It is impossible for you to choose all trivial matters.

Zhou Dingzeng said slowly: "Ning Chen is indeed outstanding, but he is still too young. And as far as I know, Ning Chen also practiced martial arts. So the old minister feels that it may be inappropriate to let Ning Chen serve as the Imperial Academy."

This is blatant professional discrimination. It has nothing to do with being able to work in the Imperial Academy if you practice martial arts yourself.

After taking a look at the general who didn't dare to fart over there, Ning Chen decisively triggered the event selection.

【Event selection】

[One, you take the initiative to give in, humbly resign from the Imperial College, and get 5 points of [Loyalty], and then all the evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points. 】

[Second, you retort forcefully, go directly to the Imperial Academy, and get 200 points from [Ning], and then get all the evaluations related to the event, which will automatically be converted into corresponding reputation points]

Now that Ning Chen sees the [Ning] point, his eyes are green, so how could he miss such an opportunity.

Wu Zhao listened to Zhou Dingzeng's words, and was just about to nod his head and push the boat along, when he heard Ning Chen speak loudly: "Your Highness, I also have objections."

Wu Zhao really did not expect that Ning Chen would stand up at this time.

Because Wu Zhao knew that some people would definitely object to his proposal of Ning Chen's appointment.

So Wu Zhao had thought about it a long time ago, just keep one of the two positions.

This is the balance of her administration.

Knowing that it is impossible to do both, I just said, so I will go to one of the two and keep the other.

In this way, you feel that you have made a profit, and I also feel that I have not lost money.

It's just that Ning Chen doesn't understand at all what is the way of balance.

"What objection does Ning Aiqing have?" Wu Zhao stared at Ning Chen with deep staring eyes and asked.

Ning Chen could see the warning in his eyes, but Ning Chen didn't care, because Ning Chen was going to be a sycophant to the end.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask Zhou Siye, is it because I have practiced martial arts that I am not qualified to serve in the Imperial Academy?

I want to know, is Guozijian the highest institution of learning for the world's students, or just a dirty place with such professional discrimination?
I think that in the face of knowledge, everyone should be equal.When you go to work in the Imperial College, you should look more at knowledge than anything else? "

After Ning Chen finished speaking, the expression on Zhou Siye's face did not change at all. Instead, he looked at Ning Chen kindly: "Ning Chen, I know you have some talents, but when you come to the Imperial College, your young talents, It's not nearly enough."

Ning Chen countered directly with disdain: "Don't say it's useless, you say I'm not enough, at least you have to compete to know if I'm enough."

Ning Chen rushed to the [Ning] point, so it was natural how [Ning] came.

What's more, Ning Chen really disdains this kind of teacher who judges a student's ability without even looking at it.

Zhou Dingzeng was still as stable as an old dog: "How does Master Ning plan to compare with the old man?"

Zhou Dingzeng directly called Ning Chen an adult, not out of respect for Ning Chen, it was a kind of irony.

"Master Ning, I heard that you are old and have quite a talent for poetry, so let's compare your talent for poetry."

Ning Chen was also fearless, and went back directly.

Ning Chen's operation made many people frown, thinking that Ning Chen was a little too arrogant.

Even Wu Zhao couldn't help frowning slightly, and began to wonder whether Ning Chen could be of great use.

Zhou Dingzeng couldn't help laughing after hearing Ning Chen's words: "Master Ning is really confident, but this old man doesn't want to bully the younger with the big, so Mr. Ning should choose another one."

Zhou Dingzeng is still very confident about his poetic talent.

In terms of poetry, Zhou Dingzeng felt that even if it was Guozijian offering wine, Zhou Dingzeng felt that he could compare with him at the same level.

Zhou Dingzeng is not ignorant of Ning Chen's poems.

It's just that in Zhou Dingzeng's eyes, these extravagant poems can't be compared with his.

Zhou Dingzeng, as a great Confucian in the present age, didn't want to leave a reputation of being a bully on his resume, so he planned to ask Ning Chen to choose another one.

The corner of Ning Chen's mouth twitched: "It's really not that I look down on you as an old man, except that you may compare with me in poetry, you may not be able to compare with me in other aspects.

Anyway, I'll just choose the poems, it's up to you whether you take them or not. "

Continuously belittled by Ning Chen, even a great Confucian has a temper.

"Okay, since you insist on this, then don't blame me for bullying the younger. Lord Ning, please." Zhou Dingzeng stood up first after speaking.

Ning Chen doesn't know why it's better to go out than poetry, but go out as soon as you go out, it's not a bit of a mess.

The matter has come to this point, even if Wu Zhao wants to mediate, it is impossible.

Wu Zhao knew Zhou Dingzeng's temper very well.

Now that I have just ascended to the position, if I suppress it forcefully, I can suppress it, but the rebound may be even more violent.

So Wu Zhao can only let Ning Chen suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, even if it is to teach Ning Chen a lesson, let Ning Chen have a better memory.

Moreover, suppressing Ning Chen's spirit, in Wu Zhao's view, is not all a bad thing.

When the two came to the courtyard, Zhou Dingzeng said to Ning Chen: "Master Ning, you are a junior who writes poems first."

Ning Chen smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm young so I can afford to wait, but you can't afford to wait when you're old, you should go out first."

When Zhou Dingzeng heard this, he was really angry.

Because Ning Chen really talked about Zhou Dingzeng's pain.

He has been brilliant in his life, but he has struggled step by step in the practice of Confucianism. Now at this age, it is basically hopeless to make further progress.

So he really can't afford to wait now.

"Insanity!"

After drinking for a lifetime, Zhou Dingzeng saw a book completely composed of awe-inspiring aura floating out of Zhou Dingzeng's body.

This book is very big, even if it is not opened, it is almost as big as two square meters.

Then I saw Ding Zeng turning the pages of the book with arrogance, and then a poem flew out of the book.

"The car is rattling, the horse is Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists."

……

As these words flew out, these words, above the sky, turned into armored warriors and mounted soldiers.

Ning Chen looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.

Ning Chen knew that the Confucian system was full of bells and whistles, but Ning Chen never thought that the Confucian system was so bells and whistles, and the Confucian poetry competition was so competitive.

Looking at the words that flew out of Zhou Dingzeng's righteous book above his head, they turned into real soldiers.

Ning Chen was a little panicked at the moment.

It's not because poetry is inferior to panic, but because Ning Chen doesn't have the righteousness.

But Ning Chen's panic at the moment, in the eyes of the officials, was a feeling of helplessness, anxiety and helplessness.

"Ning Chen really doesn't know how to live and die, and even proposed to compete with Zhou Siye's poems. I don't know Zhou Siye's poems. Does that mean that even the left minister thinks so deeply?"

"I think Ning Chen knew that he would lose, so he chose Zhou Siye's strongest one as a challenge. This way, even if he loses, it won't be too ugly."

Among the officials, many people are jealous that Ning Chen is about to assume real power.

Seeing Ning Chen being so ignorant now, going up to die by himself, they felt very happy in their hearts.

Zhou Siye looked at the helpless Ning Chen, smiled and said, "Lord Ning, since you are young and ignorant, let's let this matter go."

Hearing what Zhou Siye said, the ministers couldn't help but praise Zhou Siye again.

But Ning Chen can't just let it go.

I have to go to the Guozijian to take up the post, and that is the task to be completed.

"No, I didn't say anything, how can I just let it go?" Ning Chen stopped, and Zhou Siye, who was about to die down, said.

Zhou Siye stopped his movements and looked at Ning Chen: "Then please Master Ning to write a poem?"

Ning Chen turned around and looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Sun Kejian: "Master Sun, can you lend me a little bit, isn't he upright?"

"Ah, this..."

Sun Kejian was taken aback when asked by Ning Chen.

Then the people present remembered that Ning Chen's Confucianism hadn't yet entered the stage, and he didn't have a noble spirit at all, so there was no way to mobilize poetry into form.

"Ning Chen really doesn't know how to live or die, he doesn't even have a righteous spirit, so he has to compare his poetic talent with Zhou Siye of the seventh rank."
