Chapter 105 Asking for help from King Chun Dali Temple. Temple Qing Yamen. Li Xuanjing sat behind the case table, flipping through a case file in his hand. The young man in black stood in front of the desk and said: "The three provinces quickly passed a resolution in the past two days. From now on, all major academies must pass the spring exam to recruit students. Outside of the spring exam, no special admissions can be made, and no donations can be made for admission. …” Li Xuanjing opened a page of the file in his hand, and the young man in black continued: "This time, the dignitaries headed by Yongshou Marquis and Lantian Marquis used various means to secretly bribe more than ten officials from three provinces. They spent so much money Is it just to prevent the young master from entering the academy?" Li Xuanjing used a red pen to mark an "X" on the cover of the dossier and put it aside. He took out another file from another pile and said, "It's not entirely because of this reason. They have been promoting this proposal for quite some time. They are just taking the opportunity to advance it." The young man in black continued: "Unfortunately, most of the officials in the three provinces have official positions above the fourth rank. We cannot intervene directly. In addition, the powerful people are doing things in a secretive manner. It is not easy to use these to bring them down." Dali Temple has been fighting with the courtiers for so long. Now those corrupt officials accept bribes and no longer directly collect money.
In other words, those officials who were bold and dared to collect cash directly have been eliminated. Giving away some worthless antique calligraphy and paintings, and then finding an opportunity for a third party to buy them at a high price from corrupt officials, is the lowest level of tactics. A little more obscurely, it is reasonable and legal to open a pawn shop and redeem low prices for high prices. At a more advanced level, relatives can open a brothel or music studio in Chang'an in an open and honest manner. As for men and women, you and I agree. Whether it's a reverse transfer or a swindling of money, the court has no control over it. Even if an ugly girl offers ten thousand taels of silver a night, as long as someone is willing to pay and pay taxes normally afterwards, Dali Temple has no right to interfere. Li Xuanjing just smiled faintly and said: "No one is invincible, everything happens according to the trend. If the time is wrong, even if there is sufficient evidence, it will be of no use; when the time comes, even if there is no evidence, evidence can be created..., Save these files first, they will be used sooner or later." A look of regret appeared on the face of the young man in black, and he said: "After this resolution is implemented, the young master will not be able to participate in this imperial examination, and he will have to wait four more years for the next one." Li Xuanjing opened a page of the file in his hand and said lightly: "That's not necessarily the case..." The two of them said nothing more. The government office returned to calm, except for the piles of files on the table, which were getting smaller one by one. at the same time. On a street somewhere in Chang'an, Li Nuo jumped off the carriage and once again stood in front of the tall lintel of Prince Chun's Mansion. This time when he came to Prince Chun's Mansion, Li Nuo brought Mu'er with him. After she woke up in the morning, she heard that two people had gone horse riding without her, and she was very unhappy about this. This time, Li Nuo had no choice but to take her with him when he went out. When they came to Prince Chun's Mansion again, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion was very enthusiastic. While welcoming them in, he said: "The prince is not in the mansion now. He should be back soon. Young Master will wait in the mansion for a while..." Li Nuo held Mu'er's hand and, under the leadership of the palace steward, passed by an open square and saw an aristocratic young master standing there.
It was Li Yun, the eldest son of Prince Chun. He turned his back to Li Nuo and others, fiddling with something in his hand. Li Nuo came closer and saw that what he was holding was a palm-sized bird. This bird is not a real bird, but is made of wood and painted with colorful paint, making it look just like the real thing. Li Yun twisted the bird's tail a few times and then let go. The wooden bird flapped its wings a few times like a real bird. After flying around in the air, it flew back into his hand. Song Muer's eyes widened, stunned by this magical scene. Li Nuo was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Prince Chun was actually from the Mo family. This wooden kite looks only about the size of a palm, but the way it hovers and flies in the air is indistinguishable from that of a real bird. It is not difficult to imagine that its internal structure must be extremely sophisticated and complex. Only the Mohists, who have studied the art of mechanism, can have such attainments. Li Yun turned around and saw Li Nuo standing behind him. After being stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Shi is here. My father is not at home now. I will take you around the palace..." Li Nuo saw Mu'er eagerly looking at the wooden kite in Li Yun's hand and smiled: "There's no need to go shopping. Can you lend me the wooden kite in Brother Shi's hand..." Li Yun smiled and handed the wooden yuan over and asked, "Is Shidi also interested in the art of mechanism?" Li Nuo took the wooden kite and turned the mechanism on its tail. After releasing his hand, the wooden kite flapped its wings and soared into the air. After flying at a low altitude, it flew back to Li Nuo's hand. Li Nuo looked at the palm-sized gadget in his hand and praised, "The Mo family's craftsmanship is truly well-deserved." Song Muer gently tugged on Li Nuo's sleeve and said pitifully: "Brother Li Nuo, I want to play too." After Li Nuo handed her the wooden kite and taught her how to use it, Song Muer had a great time playing alone. Seeing that she liked it so much, Li Yun said, "If you like it, little sister, I will give this wooden kite to you." Song Muer said happily: "Thank you, big brother!" Li Nuo had a headache when he saw this, and he didn't know if His Highness Mu Yuan had an identical second one. Otherwise, if he went back later, the Song family would definitely be restless again. Li Yun was very happy when he saw that someone liked his little machine. He ran to a big hall next to the square and moved out more things. Song Muer's surprised mouth never closed. Li Nuo was also surprised by the Mo family's mechanism skills. Li Yun not only has a trap bird, but also a trap dog, a trap horse, and a trap cat. These mechanical objects are not just cold dead objects. They can run and jump. After being decorated, they are slightly farther away and it is impossible to tell the real ones from the fake ones. He also built several mechanical vehicles. For example, there are horse-drawn carriages that rely solely on human power, two-wheeled vehicles that are prototypes of bicycles in later generations, and even flying machines that imitate birds, which can fly several feet into the air by relying on human power. Of course, if the Mohist family only had this ability, it would not be possible for them to become one of the other schools.
Ordinary people's use of Mohist institutions can only increase the convenience of life. Only when the Mohist organs cooperate with the Mohist Qi can the true power be exerted. After Li Yun equipped himself with a machine arm, he shattered a thick stone slab with one punch. This was at least the power that a warrior in the True Qi Realm could possess. And the pair of machine wings he built for himself are even more powerful. Not only can it fly hundreds of feet into the sky, but the iron feathers on its wings can also be shot out like sharp swords. The point is, the arrows shot can actually be recovered. His cultivation level is not lower than the fourth level, but even the warriors of the fourth level can't do anything to him. Controlling objects consumes a lot of energy. Although warriors in the fourth realm can fly for a short period of time, it does not last long and cannot fly that high. However, the Mo family's true energy can fly for a long time with the help of mechanism skills, and its endurance is extremely strong. Li Yun landed from the sky, very satisfied with the expression on Li Nuo's face, and said proudly: "Wait a minute, I will show you another good thing." He left here briefly and soon came back, followed by a woman. The woman had outstanding appearance and tall figure, and she bowed to Li Nuo Yingying. Li Yun looked at her and said with a smile: "Dance for Shidi." After his words fell, the woman lifted up her skirt and danced gracefully. The woman danced very gracefully, but Li Nuo still noticed something was wrong. Her body is very flexible, but her expression is a bit stiff, not stiff, but there is no change in expression at all, and her eyes are empty and lifeless, not like a real person. Li Nuo was surprised and said: "Is this an agency person?" Li Yun nodded and said: "It looks like it, but I can't give this to you. It's my hard work. You can choose other things as you like, just think of them as my wedding gifts to you... " Li Nuo looked at the woman who had stopped dancing and was standing behind Li Yun and asked, "Can I touch her?" There was a trace of hesitation on Li Yun's face, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but you have to be gentle..." Li Nuo raised the woman's hand and found that every joint on her body could move freely, and her skin was soft and delicate, but it was obviously not the touch of the human body. It should be some kind of silicone-like material. Li Yun treasured her so much that Li Nuo only touched her briefly. At this time, a powerful voice came from behind them. "Are you playing with those broken pieces of wood again?" King Chun strode over and said to Li Yun displeased: "What's the use of playing with those broken pieces of wood all day long? There are so many beauties in Chang'an for you to choose from, and you can't even look at any of them." Come on, can this wooden woman sleep with you or have children with you? Why don't you also learn from my nephew Li Nuo, marry a beautiful woman, and live a good life..." Li Yun shook his head and said, "Father, you don't understand..." King Chun waved his hand and said: "I am too lazy to care about your affairs. Do you want to marry or not, do you want to have children..." After saying that, he looked at Li Nuo and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him. Let's go inside and talk..." He took Li Nuo's hand and came to a main hall. He found that Li Nuo's lips were not bloody and his steps were a little sloppy. He asked with concern: "Why, are you not feeling well yet?"
Li Nuo nodded and said: "The doctor said that the body is seriously overdrawn and needs a month of rest." "A month?" King Chun frowned and said, "No, one month is too long..." He waved to the door and said: "Who is that? Take my king's sign and go to the imperial hospital and call the imperial doctor. Their doctors' vitality can be replenished better than any other medicinal materials..." A moment later, Prince Chun’s Mansion. Ningxin Palace. Li Nuo was lying on the soft couch in the main seat. An old man with gray hair sat next to him, holding his wrist with an expression full of helplessness. King Chun glanced at him and said displeasedly: "Mr. Liu, what's your expression? Doctors are benevolent. Aren't you doctors just hanging pots to help the world, treating illnesses and saving people? You are not happy to save someone... " While the old man was sending Qi into the body of the young man on the soft couch, he said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I just thought of something else." He sighed leisurely in his heart. If it weren't for King Chun's supervision of the country this month and the ability to mobilize hundreds of officials, he would not have come to King Chun's mansion at all. Doctors do treat illnesses and save people, but they don’t owe people anything. It is their freedom to treat whom they want and who they do not want to treat. Even if you want to cure diseases and save people, you don't have to use your own Qi. Who would be in a good mood if he wasted his energy on treating an unrelated person? It's a pity that he is in the imperial court and cannot be as comfortable as he was when he was traveling as a doctor. As the doctor in charge of Daxia, he held power, but also lost some of his freedom. As time passed, the old man's lips gradually turned pale. Li Nuo's face, however, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a moment, he released Li Nuo's wrist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Prince Chun: "Your Highness, it's done." Prince Chun said: "Since you are here, why don't you treat him for a while?" The old man said helplessly: "Your Highness, the weak cannot be supplemented. Everything is too much or too little. If you supplement too much, it will be harmful to the health of this young master." Prince Chun thought about it and could only say: "Okay, come, go to the account office to withdraw 1,000 taels of silver and send it to Liu Taiyi's home." The old man hurriedly declined: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this, there is no need to do this, this is my duty, and I don't deserve a reward." Prince Chun waved his hand and said: "You imperial doctors also have to pay for consultations, don't refuse, Liu Taiyi has worked hard on this trip, I will have someone send you back to the palace." The old man did not refuse again, cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Although Prince Chun was unreasonable, he was still very particular about doing things. When the imperial physician stood up, his body swayed, and he held the bed frame to stand firmly.
The Qi consumed this time cannot be replenished without half a month of cultivation. He sighed in his heart, bowed to Prince Chun and said goodbye, and slowly walked out of the hall. Li Nuo sat up from the bed, feeling full of strength. In just a moment, his overdrawn body seemed to be fully replenished. Not only that, he felt that his body was better than before the overdraw. It is worthy of being the Qi of the medical family. The ways of various philosophers have their own characteristics. Other families are improving themselves, only the medical family is selfless. The Qi of the low-level doctors can make themselves immune to all diseases and strengthen their bodies. The Qi of the high-level doctors can help others heal their wounds and even prolong their lives, but the cost is to consume their own Qi and even lifespan. However, it is difficult for medical families to cultivate to a high level. The fifth-level doctors are already rare in the entire continent. The imperial physician of Daxia is only in the fourth level. Prince Chun asked with concern: "How are you? Do you feel better?" Li Nuo clenched his fist and said: "Thank you, Uncle Prince Chun, I feel much better now." "That's good, that's good." Prince Chun smiled and asked: "You just said that you want to enter Qingfeng Academy. This is a small matter. I just need to issue an imperial edict." Seeing that he didn't seem to know about that matter, Li Nuo briefly described the new law promulgated by the three provinces to him. Prince Chun frowned slightly when he heard it, "Is there such a thing?" He really didn't know about this matter. The imperial edict of the three provinces does not need to be explained to the prince who is the regent. He stroked the short beard on his chin and said: "If it was a month ago, this matter would be easier to handle, but the new law just passed by the three provinces, even if it is the prince, cannot be openly violated, otherwise, the law of the court will lose its majesty..." Li Nuo sighed and was helpless. A month ago, he was revising the law in Chang'an County Yamen. If the powerful people hadn't cut off his path to cultivation, he wouldn't have thought of taking the imperial examination. Within the rules of the law, he had no way out. This matter did not involve criminal law, and his father could not intervene. So he came to ask for help from Prince Chun. Since even Prince Chun was helpless about this matter, he could only take a long-term view. Just when Li Nuo was a little disappointed, Prince Chun changed his tone and said, "Don't worry, we can just change the law that was violated."
Li Nuo was slightly stunned and asked, "How to change it?" Prince Chun said, "Since the new law cannot be violated, I will change or abolish this new law, so that you can go to the academy to study openly. Fortunately, there are still three days this month, and I will hold a court meeting tomorrow..." Li Nuo asked in astonishment, "Is this okay?" He was still thinking about what he should change, but he didn't expect Prince Chun to say that he was going to change the law. Prince Chun said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with this? If we change this law, we won't be breaking the law. Don't worry, uncle can still do this little thing, otherwise what's the use of this regent seal..." Not long after. Li Nuo walked out of Ningxin Hall. Uncle Chun is indeed an elder, and his perspective on the problem is far beyond his reach. He will have dinner in the palace later. When he walked out of the hall, he saw Mu'er playing happily in the square not far away. Li Yun has a lot of mechanical toys, such as wooden kites that can fly back by themselves, wooden horses that will circle within a certain range after riding, and wooden figures that can fight by themselves... For her, these are rare toys. Compared with Confucianism, military science, legalism, agriculture, etc., the number of Mohists is even rarer. It's not because Mohism is difficult to practice, but because Mohism has requirements for the talents of disciples. Confucianism and Legalism can be practiced by anyone. But to practice Mohism, not only do you need to have strong hands-on ability, but you also need to have certain calculation ability and imagination. Li Nuo was not very interested in those gadgets, but Li Yun's mechanical dancer did make him curious. It was hard to imagine what kind of structure was inside her to be able to make such complex movements. The Mohist School in this world was indeed something. At this moment, Li Yun was squatting on the ground, with a pile of mechanical parts that he had dismantled. He held two tiny wooden gears in his hands and frowned, "Why is it broken again..." Although wooden mechanisms are more likely to break than iron ones, the parts of this mechanical cat are obviously more likely to break, which is abnormal. But he couldn't find the problem. Li Nuo came over and asked, "Brother Shi, are you practicing Mohism?" Li Yun stood up, rubbed his sore waist, and said with a smile, "Don't call me Prince or Brother Shi. I'm only a few months older than you. We can just call each other by our names..." He pointed his finger, and the wooden kite on the ground flapped its wings and circled in the low sky. This was an answer to Li Nuo's question just now. The Mohist School has the power to control mechanisms, and only Mohist disciples can do this. Although the fourth level of martial arts can also control objects remotely, it is far less free than the Mohist School.
As for Li Nuo, the strength of the first level of the Legalist School, the art of confinement can make objects change from moving to still, but it cannot make dead objects move. He looked at the wooden gear with broken teeth in Li Yun's hand, thought for a while, and said: "You can try to change the number of teeth of these two wooden gears, maybe they will not be so easy to damage." Li Yun was slightly stunned and asked: "What?" Li Nuo did not understand mechanical skills, but he happened to know a little mathematics. When learning prime numbers, the teacher once gave an example of the application of prime numbers. In the transmission process, the number of teeth of the gear is selected as a prime number, which helps to reduce gear wear and keep the transmission smooth. This is because two mutually prime numbers of teeth cannot form a common divisor. Each tooth of the gear has the opportunity to contact each tooth on the opposite side, which can maximize the dispersion and average of the damage caused by the defects, thereby extending the service life. He just counted the two gears in Li Yun's hand, one with ten teeth and the other with thirty teeth. Not only does it not conform to engineering, it also does not conform to mathematics. The development of Mohism is inseparable from the support of mathematics. The mathematics of this world has not yet studied prime numbers, let alone linked them with engineering. After listening to Li Nuo's explanation, Li Yun's face showed a look of realization, and he murmured: "That makes sense, why didn't I think of it!" After talking to himself for a few words, he ignored Li Nuo and ran away, and he didn't see him until dinner. At the dinner table, Li Yun's seat was empty. Prince Chun waved his hand and said: "He must have gone to study that pile of broken wood again. Let's eat ours and ignore him..." Mu'er, who is loved by everyone, naturally won the love of Prince Chun. After dinner, she also received a lot of rewards from Prince Chun. Most of them are girls' clothes and accessories. According to Prince Chun, these were originally prepared for Li Yun. When Princess Chun was pregnant, she liked to eat spicy food. Prince Chun thought she was pregnant with a girl, so he prepared many things that girls could use in advance. Unexpectedly, the princess gave birth to a prince, and these things were prepared in vain. This time it happened to be a bargain for Mu'er. The things prepared by the palace are naturally high-end goods. Even after so long, they are still as good as new. When leaving the palace, the carriage was almost filled with gifts from Prince Chun, and Li Nuo almost couldn't squeeze in. Every time he came to the palace, it was like shopping, and he would be embarrassed to come next time. Song Muer returned with a lot of gifts, and was obviously in a good mood. Holding the wooden kite given by Li Yun, she hummed happily along the way. Li Nuo never said a word, thinking about other things. Those powerful people were obviously fighting him to the end. Although it has long been known that the path of cultivation of the Legalists is extremely difficult, there will be many difficulties and obstacles along the way. But that is at least after the fourth realm...
In the first three realms of the Legalists, there is actually no need to provoke the powerful, and it is enough to practice step by step. Only after the fourth realm, do you need to kill more big figures to stimulate your cultivation. Block his way through court legislation. He was only in the first realm, and he was targeted like this... Targeting is not like this. Song Muer was holding a bunch of gifts, humming a happy tune. As she was humming, she found that Brother Li Nuo was looking down, not looking very happy. She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Brother Li Nuo, are you angry?" Li Nuo came back to his senses and was stunned, "What are you angry about?" Song Muer said carefully, "You wouldn't be unhappy that the big brother gave me something?" Li Nuo rubbed her head and said, "How could that be?" Is he such a stingy person? Uh... Although he is a little stingy sometimes, he is not so stingy. Song Muer put down the wooden kite, held Li Nuo's hand tightly, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, although the big brother can make a lot of fun things, you and I will always be the best in the world..."
