Please don't force me to be a god.

"How?"

"If the rescue conditions mentioned in the letter are met, up to one in ten or twelve people can be saved."

"As for the method of borrowing Yang Shou, the mortality rate is extremely high, probably because there is a lack of immortal tools to verify blood types."

"Yes." Emperor An You was very satisfied.

This is basically consistent with what was mentioned in the letter.

This ratio is already very satisfactory, and everyone even thinks it is normal to be low.

If everyone can be saved and no one has to die, that would be terrible.

As for the method of borrowing Yang Shou, there is a lack of immortal tools to verify blood types, so they have no way to do it for the time being.

I thought to myself, it is indeed a taboo technique that can trigger heavenly punishment.

"By the way, do you know about this Xu Wen?" Emperor An You asked.

Cai An replied: "According to the information, he is a scholar in Xiangyang City who likes to read books about ghosts and gods. He seems to be very popular with the immortal. Among dozens of students, the immortal only asked his name."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Cai An said: "As the letter said, he asked some taboo topics during class, and the immortal thought he was too talkative, so he punched him a few times."

"As for why the immortal beat him and asked his name specifically, I don't know."

Emperor Anyou thought for a while and said: "I have only heard that the immortal It is the first time to hear an immortal beat someone. "

"In my opinion, Xu Wen is smart and knows about ghosts and gods. The immortal is protecting Xu Wen."

Cai An said: "Your Majesty, please forgive my stupidity. Why is this?"

Emperor Anyou smiled and said: "This kind of secret involving the Yin and Yang worlds, even the immortal leaked the secret and was punished by heaven, which shows how serious the consequences are."

"The immortal beat Xu Wen, first to prohibit him from asking further, and second, it was also done for the King of Hell to see."

Cai An understood immediately.

This is a similar drama to "self-punishment of three cups", which he and the emperor did not do a lot.

The emperor's enjoyment inevitably requires some officials to do some dirty things, which leads to labor and money.

If these dirty things are discovered by other officials, they will naturally be furious and ready to "die for remonstrance".

After receiving the news, the emperor and Prime Minister Cai quickly punished their own people before the incident in the court.

It can not only show that the emperor is wise, but also give him the freedom to control the intensity of punishment.

In this way, those censors will have nothing to say and will not investigate further.

Otherwise, when the censors come to the court and openly criticize, it will be troublesome and may cause a storm across the country.

Emperor Anyou and Cai An guessed that the immortal probably meant the same thing.

It is equivalent to saying to the underworld: My student asked a taboo question, I beat him myself, and you, King Yama, should not interfere.

Being beaten by the immortal will only hurt for a few days, but if King Yama comes to your door, it will be a fatal event.

Thinking of this, both of them thought they understood Zhang Tian's intention of beating Xu Wen and strictly prohibiting everyone from asking about ghosts and gods.

"Your Majesty is wise, worthy of being the emperor of the world, and he actually knows the intention of the immortal. The mortal eyes of old ministers are far from it!"

This flattery is comfortable, and Emperor Anyou stroked his beard and enjoyed it very much.

"Will Xu Wen enter Lin'an Prefecture for the imperial examination next year?" the emperor asked.

"This..." Cai An hesitated a little, "I will send someone to arrange it."

The emperor nodded, very satisfied with Cai An's performance.

This is why he still uses Cai An even though he knows that he is a corrupt official.

Cai An knows what to do with many things, and he won't even ask whether it is good or bad.

Just like now, he just asked if Xu Wen would enter Lin'an Prefecture to take the imperial examination, and Cai An immediately guessed that he wanted to see Xu Wen, and even wanted to arrange an official position for Xu Wen and keep him by his side.

Therefore, he didn't say to ask someone, but to send someone to arrange it.

In other words, even if Xu Wen was not qualified to enter Lin'an Prefecture to take the imperial examination, Cai An would find a way to make him qualified.

Not for anything else, just because the emperor wanted to see him in the imperial examination.

…………

Xiangyang City, night fell.

General Guo was handling official business under the oil lamp.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a scholar's robe, walked into the hall.

Niu Er and other personal soldiers did not stop him, obviously they were all close to General Guo.

After entering the hall, the scholar stood aside patiently, waiting for the general to finish reading the official documents in his hand.

General Guo said: "Qin Changshi, it's so late, do you have anything to do?"

Qin Changshi said to Niu Er beside him: "Niu Xiaoli, please step down first."

Niu Er did not move, he was the captain of General Guo's personal guard, naturally he only listened to General Guo.

Seeing Qin Changshi overstepping his authority to order his personal guards, General Guo was not angry, but waved his hand: "Niu Er, you step down. No one is allowed to approach within twenty steps."

"Yes!"

After Niu Er stepped down, General Guo said: "Okay, Qin Changshi, you can tell me any secrets you have."

Qin Changshi took out a book, smiled and said: "General Guo, I haven't explained historical war cases to you for a long time. I came here specially tonight to read to you."

"Read?" General Guo was puzzled.

He had asked Qin Changshi to explain historical war cases to him frequently to broaden his horizons.

But usually he only took classes in his spare time.

Now that the war has just ended, he has been busy with official duties these days and has been busy until the evening. Why must he choose this time to read to himself?

Just like just now, he ignored the hierarchy and ordered his personal guards to go beyond his level, which was a taboo.

This had never happened to Qin Changshi before.

General Guo remained calm and said, "You read it."

Qin Changshi opened the scroll and read softly in the dim light:

"What I read tonight is the Book of the Later Han."

"The Book of Changes says: The sky shows signs, and the sages follow them... Mang has a change of defeat. During the day, there are clouds like broken mountains, falling on the army, and the soldiers are all disgusted. This is the so-called star at the head of the camp..."

"At night, there are meteors falling into the camp. During the day, there are clouds like broken mountains, falling on the camp, and dispersing before reaching the ground. The officers and soldiers are all disgusted and lie down... Guangwu rushed to it and beheaded dozens of people... Beheaded hundreds and thousands of people. Continuous victory."

The scroll that Qin Changshi read was very long, but he would pause for a while at each critical moment.

General Guo naturally knew what he should pay attention to.

The first paragraph talks about the scene before the Han Dynasty Wang Mang's army was annihilated. During the day, there was a strange phenomenon of clouds and mists like a mountain being destroyed, which fell on the army. The soldiers were disgusted and afraid...

The second paragraph is even more famous, almost fantasy, and it talks about the battle between Emperor Guangwu of Han and Wang Mang's army.

At night, a meteor hit Wang Mang's camp, and during the day, there were clouds like collapsing mountains, pouring down into the camp, but they dissipated when they were less than a foot from the ground.

The military officers and soldiers were all pressed to the ground.

The general meaning of these stories is that Liu Xiu is a man of destiny and has the help of heaven.

After reading all that should be read, Qin Changshi stopped talking.

After thinking for a while, General Guo immediately understood that this was Qin Changshi's hint.

Using the stories of Wang Mang and Liu Xiu, he hinted to himself - rebellion!

Liu Xiu had meteors and clouds from heaven to help him kill the enemy, while his own conditions were better, with a fairy boat falling to the ground and a living fairy descending to the earth.

If he wanted to rebel, he could use these visions to help him morally.

Moreover, there was a supreme immortal who could be as powerful as 100,000 cavalrymen.

However, Qin Changshi did not dare to ask directly about the matter of killing nine clans.

First, he did not know whether General Guo had the intention to rebel.

If not, he would probably chop off his head directly if he asked stupidly.

Even if General Guo did not kill him, once someone with ulterior motives heard it, it would be a disaster for him and General Guo.

Therefore, he could only hint to General Guo through reading.

If General Guo was interested, the two would break the last layer of window paper.

General Guo thought for a long time and said, "Immortals are different from meteors. Meteors are dead things."
