Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

And just as Qin Tian expected, after Qin Tian left, the status of these five people was immediately promoted to a unique level.

These five people became Zhao Kuangyin's personal bodyguards, the kind who never left their bodies while sleeping!
The improvement of strength brings about the improvement of status, and the improvement of status brings about the improvement of treatment.

They didn't even eat and live with ordinary soldiers, but with Zhao Kuangyin.

Before Zhao Kuangyin ate, they had to try every dish to make sure no one was poisoned.

Because ordinary poisons no longer work for them, and they can also find out whether there are poisons in the dishes by tasting them.

In addition, every day when Zhao Kuangyin sleeps, several of them will guard the door.

This was a supreme honor, and all five of them were very excited!
Of course, it is not without reason that Zhao Kuangyin trusts these five people so much.

In addition to their own strength, Qin Tian also gave Zhao Kuangyin a bargaining chip to control these people.

In order to ensure the safety of his tool man, Qin Tian would certainly not leave Zhao Kuangyin's life in the hands of others.

Therefore, Qin Tian also gave Zhao Kuangyin a means to protect himself.

If anyone among them has any evil intentions towards Zhao Kuangyin, the magic power in their bodies will instantly solidify and control these people.

These powers are both gifts and imprisonment.

They couldn't even think of betrayal, let alone take action against Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin only needs one thought to make these people unable to survive or die.

That's why Zhao Kuangyin could trust these people so much that he could safely let them taste the food for him, and even let them guard the door at night.

The day after the mutiny was successful, Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and others who were guarding the capital immediately prepared to respond after learning that the mutiny was successful.

So on the third day after the successful mutiny, after Zhao Kuangyin arrived in the capital, Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and others opened the city gate to respond.

At this time, among the generals of the Forbidden Army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, only Han Tong, the deputy commander of the Guards' Ma Bu Army, tried to lead his troops to resist in a hurry.

But after all, loyalty is a quality only a few people have.

In the face of the general trend, there are still more people who understand current affairs.

It is indeed because of the young master's suspicion that following such a little emperor has no future, not even the hope of filling his stomach.

So Han Tong naturally failed.

Han Tong was killed by Wang Yansheng of the military academy before he could even raise an army.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Chenqiao Mutiny took control of the capital Kaifeng without any blood on the third day after the successful mutiny.

It was not until this time that the fools in the Later Zhou court realized that they had done something wrong.

Especially Fan Zhi and others realized that they had been deceived by hastily dispatching generals without distinguishing whether the military situation was true or false!

But the wood has become a boat, and everyone is helpless.

In order to protect himself, Fan Zhi had no choice but to lead his officials to obey orders.

Zhao Kuangyin's usurpation of the throne was not a temporary move, but a plan that had been planned for a long time.

Looking forward, a year ago he had already started letting people spread rumors about his claim to be emperor, laying the foundation for his usurpation of the throne.

The next day after taking the capital, Tao Gu, a Hanlin scholar who had been arranged long ago, immediately took out the pre-prepared edict of the Zen Dynasty.

In full view of everyone, Tao Gu directly announced Chai Zongxun's Zen status.

Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to set out on the first day of the first lunar month, and led a mutiny that night.

On the second day of the first lunar month, everything settled, and on the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin had captured the capital city of Kaifeng.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin officially ascended the throne as emperor in Kaifeng Chongyuan Hall without stopping at the age of thirty-four.

At this point, Zhao Kuangyin fulfilled the ultimate dream of a man's life at the age of thirty-four and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

As for the trivial matters that followed, there is no need to go into details such as issuing an edict to change the title of Chai Zongxun to King Zheng.

Anyway, it is the old master of the previous dynasty, and no one will care about the thoughts of the orphan and widowed mother anymore.

Now everyone is busy currying favor with the new emperor!

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care about these things.

He knew that he came to be emperor not for pleasure, but to realize his ambition!

The most important thing is that Qin Tian beside him has been watching him.

When Qin Tian refused to accept the invitation from the Imperial Master, Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to slack off, for fear that he would do something wrong and make Qin Tian unhappy.

Since the vassal town where Zhao Kuangyin served as the military governor of the German Army in the later Zhou Dynasty was located in Songzhou, the country's name was designated "Song".

This was something that had been thought of for a long time, so it didn't take much time to decide on it.

As for the capital, Kaifeng was still the capital, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to "Jianlong", and it was called "Song Dynasty" and "Northern Song Dynasty" in history.

When the country was just beginning to be established, Zhao Kuangyin faced a very complicated situation.

Rebellions are raging in the country. Although they are just a disease, it still takes a lot of time to resolve.

Zhao Kuangyin originally thought that according to his own conjecture, perhaps after he pacified the country and unified the world, Qin Tian would be willing to be the national advisor of the Song Dynasty.

But not long after everything was on track, Qin Tian summoned him.

"You mean... agreed?"

Zhao Kuangyin asked carefully: "But, why..."

"Now that the Song Dynasty is on the right track, you can naturally be free to help me find disciples."

Qin Tian looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said calmly: "I didn't agree before, just because you are too busy and I don't want to burden you!"

What he said immediately made Zhao Kuangyin burst into tears of gratitude and didn't know what to say.

Even if the superior person has even the slightest attitude of caring for the inferior person, the inferior person will be extremely moved. This is human nature.

Qin Tian did not explain why he was thinking about Zhao Kuangyin. Anyway, he could only rest for a while, and Zhao Kuangyin should get busy next.

In order to ensure Zhao Kuangyin's work efficiency, Qin Tian would even cast spells to ensure his health and energy.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin is now the head of a country, and he has a lot to do.

Fortunately, there are still prime ministers to help. If it were in the era when the prime ministers were abolished, Zhao Kuangyin would have collapsed from exhaustion before he could unify the world.

After discussion, the preliminary screening was decided in Kaifeng City.

Throughout Kaifeng City, all children of appropriate age must be tested, and those who pass must be sent to Qin Tian's residence for the second screening.

Those who pass the second screening will be kept and start preliminary practice with Qin Tian.

Qin Tian can tell a person's talent in as long as two or three years, or as short as three to five months.

This is the third screening.

After passing through these three levels of screening, these people have the qualifications to become Qin Tian's direct disciples.

If you want to become Qin Tian's direct disciple, you must not only have enough talent, but also have a good character. In addition, your moral character must not fall behind.

This is the hidden fourth filter.

The length of time for the first three screening stages varies, but will not exceed ten years at most. As for the last remaining screening, it will start from the first time Qin Tian sees these children.

As for when it will end, it depends on when they can satisfy Qin Tian.

"Then this screening..." Zhao Kuangyin asked cautiously.

Because Qin Tian has not mentioned the screening, Zhao Kuangyin still doesn't know how the first screening will be carried out or when it will start.

Qin Tianze was already prepared for this.

He waved his sleeves, and nine jade slips appeared in front of Zhao Kuangyin.

"You only need to order someone to point the jade slip at a distance of about one foot towards the child's face. If the jade slip shines, it means that it has passed the preliminary screening."

"Any child under the age of twelve can participate in the screening."

"People over twelve years old can also participate, but the jade slips for those over twelve years old will glow green instead of white. There is no difference in the rest."

"There's just one thing. If someone makes the jade slips glow red, no matter who that person is, they need to bring that person to me."

The jade slips were imbued with a detection spell by Qin Tian, ​​which can detect whether children have spiritual roots.

In fact, spiritual roots are just an abstract term. Everyone has spiritual roots and can cultivate them. The only difference is the speed of cultivation.

Just like learning, some people can draw inferences from one instance and have a photographic memory, but some people need to spend a lot of time memorizing and understanding, and in the end they are not proficient in using it.

Although practice and learning are the same to some extent, the biggest and most critical difference is the speed of practice.

You must know that practice is calculated in units of ten years, and each time Qin Tian retreats, it lasts three to five hundred years.

Only by breaking through to the next level can a practitioner's lifespan be significantly improved.

Even if you practice until death during the Qi refining period, your lifespan will only be more than a hundred years, and you can't go any further.

It would take an ordinary person thirty to fifty years just to get started. This kind of practice is of little significance.

For individuals, being able to practice may be their greatest meaning.

But for the way of heaven, even if there are 100 million such practitioners, it will not be of any benefit.

Because practicing requires time and energy. It’s hard enough for ordinary people just to live hard. How can they have time to practice?
Qin Tian's energy is limited, so if you want to become his disciple, you need to go through layers of screening.

Those selected children not only got a chance to practice, they may also be children from poor families before coming to Qin Tian.

If Qin Tian did not guarantee their food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if they obtained the skills to practice, they would most likely not have any chance to embark on the path of practice.

And this is one of the purposes and meanings of Qin Tian's acceptance of disciples.

Of course, Qin Tian will not prohibit people who are not talented enough to practice. When the time is right, he will spread the practice skills so that everyone can embark on the path of practice.

But if you want to be his disciple, just being able to work hard is not enough.

Zhao Kuangyin took the jade slip and expressed that he understood it, and then arranged for someone to screen it.

Before that, the first thing Zhao Kuangyin had to screen was naturally himself and his children.

But I don't know if it was because he was special or for some other reason, but when the jade slip touched him, it emitted a warm yellow light, as if it were the sun in the sky.

Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled. Qin Tian never mentioned what the yellow light meant.

But Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to ask. He could only keep this problem in his mind and wait until he had the opportunity to seek a solution in the future.

After that, Zhao Kuangyin personally conducted experiments on his son.

Not surprisingly, most of Zhao Kuangyin's sons did not have any talent for cultivation. Only Zhao Defang made the jade slip glow white.

That was his youngest son, who was just three years old this year.

Zhao Kuangyin was naturally overjoyed, this couldn't be better.

Zhao Kuangyin has already established a crown prince, and now his younger son has the talent for cultivation. These two sons, one behind the other, one outside and one inside, will definitely be able to govern the Song Dynasty prosperously in the future!
Thinking like this, Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry to send Zhao Defang to Qin Tian.

He planned to wait until a few disciples were selected, and then send Zhao Defang and those people to Qin Tian.

Otherwise, sending his son there now would be a bit too deliberate.

Many courtiers had different reactions to the fact that Qin Tian was appointed as a national advisor.

Among them, the most opposed one is naturally Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi didn't like Qin Tian at all, and earlier he even clamored to make Qin Tian look good.

Now that I heard that my brother was determined to have his own way and wanted to make Qin Tian the national master, he naturally quit!

But before he caused any trouble, he was decisively suppressed by Zhao Kuangyin.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin did not give Zhao Kuangyi a good look.

"If you make trouble like this again next time, don't blame me for not being brotherly!"

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's leaving back, Zhao Kuangyi's eyes were full of resentment.

"You and I are brothers, but now you actually don't believe me and instead believe in a liar..."

"Just wait, I will definitely prove you wrong!"

……

On the other side, although everyone had doubts about the new Imperial Master's order, they still carried it out to the letter.

After all, it's not a waste of manpower. It's just a matter of letting a few people wander around the streets with jade slips.

As for the so-called jade slips that shine, not many people believe it.

After all, everyone has been wandering the street with the jade slip for several days, and they haven't seen the jade slip shine even once.

This situation was within Qin Tian's expectation.

After all, the screening requirements this time are much stricter, and not just anyone can get into Qin Tian's eyes.

On the eleventh day of the screening, things finally took a turn for the better.

One of the guards was wandering on the street when he suddenly noticed that the jade slip was emitting a milky white light.

Even in the daytime, the milky white light is conspicuous enough to be completely impossible to ignore.

The man was suddenly shocked and quickly held the jade slip with both hands, trying to find the child who made the jade slip shine.

Finally, under the guidance of the jade slip, he discovered a beggar brother and sister lying on the roadside.

The two little guys looked to be only three or five years old, but at such a young age they were begging for food on the roadside.

What surprised him even more was that each of these two children could make the jade slip shine!

This time I really made a lot of money!

He didn't know what this jade slip meant, he only knew that he was going to get rich!

Because the Imperial Master had already said when he gave the order, if anyone can find someone who can make the jade slips shine, everyone will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!

If his talent is good enough, there are more rewards waiting for him! (End of chapter)
