Chapter 209: The Twelve Volumes of Zhu Sheng, Xu Qingxiaos Enlightenment of the Holy Way, Shocking Things
Elephant!【Ask for monthly ticket at the end of the month】
Kyoto Gongyuan.
After seeing Zhou Renming's article, Xu Qingxiao's expression changed slightly.
[Policy to strengthen the country - respect the saints and make them strong, despise the saints and make them weak]
This is the beginning of Zhou Renming’s article.
The writing is eloquent, and the content of the article is basically nothing more than that if a country wants to become strong, it must have faith, and this faith is a saint.
Zhu Sheng!
Respect Zhu Sheng, everyone has moral character, benevolence, righteousness and morality. In this way, everyone in the Wei Dynasty will make progress.
If the examiner is a person of Zhu Sheng's lineage, he may read this article and give it an excellent evaluation no matter what.
But the examiner was Xu Qingxiao.
Again, Xu Qingxiao will not target certain people. As an examiner, she must be fair.
Xu Qingxiao also respected Zhu Sheng.
But the problem is that this kind of article has no nutrition at all. The whole article is praising how good Confucianism and Taoism are, how good Zhu Sheng is, and how many people in Zhu Sheng's lineage are there.
Moreover, the content of the article contains an inexplicable sarcasm, saying that if everyone does not respect the saints, the country will decline, and if one person does not respect the saints, it will lead to moral corruption.
And give an example of what kind of contribution a person who respects Zhu Sheng will make to the country after becoming an official.
And those who do not respect Zhu Sheng will harm the interests of the country after becoming officials.
The article isn't very clever, but it doesn't point its finger at oneself or criticize it.
All I can say is that it is just a disgusting article.
At the moment, after reading the last word, Xu Qingxiao picked up the brush and wrote directly on it.
【inferior】
Just one word represents the meaning of Xu Qingxiao.
Then, put it aside and ignore it.
There are three examinations in the imperial examination.
If there is a bad one, basically don't even think about winning.
Of course, if you get top marks in the next two exams, you can be admitted by exception.
After Xu Qingxiao started writing, Zhou Renming kept paying attention. He looked calm and seemed to have guessed what Xu Qingxiao would do.
At this moment, test papers were presented one after another.
Xu Qingxiao would read each volume when she had time. After reading it, she would usually give a fair evaluation.
If it's good, it's good; if it's not, it's bad.
Even more than an hour later, Xu Qingxiao saw Chen Xinghe's article.
Xu Qingxiao was also somewhat interested in Chen Xinghe's article.
He watched carefully.
[Policy to strengthen the country - make the people rich and the country strong]
This is Chen Xinghe's strategy. It starts with the common people, and the entire article is also focused on the common people. He believes that if Wei wants to truly become a powerful country, it must feed the common people and make them live a healthy life.
After the people are healthy, there will be labor and productivity, which will promote the Wei Dynasty to develop faster and move towards a strong country.
Chen Xinghe's article is not very good, but not bad either. It hits the point, but it is not suitable for the current Wei Dynasty.
But overall, it's pretty good, Xu Qingxiao gave it a thumbs up.
B medium.
Article evaluation, A, B, C and D are inferior, and then subdivided into upper, middle and lower.
A B-medium grade is not that bad. If you can get three B-medium grades, it will be no problem to get one. Of course, if you are unlucky and have top students in the same period, then don't even think about it.
Xu Qingxiao was very fair and did not get extra points because Chen Xinghe was his senior brother.
How it is, that's how it is.
in this way.
Another two hours later.
The bell for the end of the imperial examination also rang.
The bell rings.
All the examiners went down and took away the test papers from all the candidates.
Most people seemed a little nervous. They had already finished writing and were just reading it over and over again.
There are also some people who have not finished writing yet, but they dare not say anything more. After all, the bell rings and the test papers must be put away, and no delay is allowed.
If you resist, you will be deemed to have given up the imperial examination.
"Tomorrow at Mao hour, there will be the second imperial examination. All candidates, please go back and have a good rest."
At this time, Wang Xinzhi's voice sounded, telling everyone to come and take the second exam tomorrow.
Waiting for all the candidates to leave.
Everyone also started busy reviewing and approving these examination papers.
This is the imperial examination of the Wei Dynasty. The examiner can approve it on the spot, or he can choose to collect the examination papers and approve them centrally.
After all, if the article is very good, various anomalies will appear. If it is quite good, it will naturally be read by great scholars.
That night.
Xu Qingxiao was sitting in the Gongyuan, looking at the exam papers one after another.
Until the ugly hour.
Xu Qingxiao read all the test papers.
Because it is an examination paper, you naturally need to read it carefully, give some notes, and exchange opinions with other examiners.
From these thousands of test papers, Xu Qingxiao felt more and more that Yu Yi was not a simple person, and he also learned something.
The attitude of scholars in the world towards Zhu Sheng has changed.
As the saying goes, you can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot. In these thousand examination papers, except for a few people, basically everyone has more or less saints in their articles.
The respect for Zhu Sheng is already deep-rooted.
It is not a bad thing for scholars to revere saints, but Xu Qingxiao discovered it keenly.
These scholars not only admire saints, but regard saints as their faith, a deep-rooted belief. In their eyes, saints transcend everything and are supreme.
It can be seen from some of the contents of the article that scholars all over the world have fallen into a kind of "fanaticism" and "belief" in Zhu Sheng.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Qingxiao gradually realized the reason.
Saints are indeed superior. This is unquestionable and unquestionable. Scholars' respect for saints is a manifestation of respect for teachers and Taoism.
As for the saint himself, he hopes that his knowledge and central ideas will be spread, and that everyone can understand his ideas, thereby building a world full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
This is the thought of every generation of saints.
But this is just the idea of a saint.
But the saint's disciples don't think so. Because they have followed the saint, they inexplicably develop a kind of "vanity" and a kind of "pride" that comes from the heart.
After the saint passes away, they will transform and become the saint's spokesperson in the world.
In order to consolidate their power and continue to be the spokesperson of the saints, they continue to brainwash future generations of people and brainwash future generations of scholars.
The idea that "the saint is supreme" has been instilled in you since childhood. You must remember every word of the saint and every book of the saint.
In order to make scholars obedient, the court needed assistance, and the imperial examination became the biggest competition to stabilize their status.
Regardless of whether scholars really study or not, do you want to be an official? Do you want to get ahead? Do you want to live a good life?
If you want to, you have to study and take the imperial examination, and the content of the imperial examination is basically controlled by Zhu Sheng's lineage.
You should have an idea of what to learn next, right?
This is a stable internal position, which restricts scholars through imperial examinations.
The most direct method is to stabilize the external status, which is to divide the classes and suppress the outliers.
Internally, they relied on the imperial examination to stabilize their status. Externally, they relied on dividing classes. How to divide them? It's very simple. Let's continue to highlight Zhu Sheng.
Elevate the saint infinitely. When the saint was alive, his status may not have been so high. But after the saint's death, his status is infinitely elevated, and it is instilled from generation to generation.
Those things that Zhu Sheng did, what words Zhu Sheng said, and then beautified the saints. In fact, the saints also have tempers and desires, but they know how to restrain themselves and understand the truth.
But after the death of the saint, their disciples began to mythologize the saint. The saint did not make any mistakes. The saint once stood in the ice and snow in order to learn.
Some are true, some are false, and some even Zhu Sheng's lineage doesn't know whether they are true or false.
But as long as there is constant propaganda and mythology, generation after generation, who will remember whether it is true or false?
Especially since the other party is a saint, do you dare to question it?
If you have to question it, it's not impossible, but the question is, what qualifications do you have to question it? If nothing else, you must at least be in the semi-saint realm, right?
But if there really is a semi-saint realm, they won't question it, so a closed loop of 'no solution' is formed.
And what is the greatest benefit of the mythical saint?
The status of Zhu Sheng's lineage is getting higher and higher, and scholars are more and more respected by Zhu Sheng's lineage. As a result, what do other scholars think?
Who doesn’t want to be the star of the party?
Moreover, Zhu Sheng's lineage knows how to stabilize people's hearts. They gather together, help each other, show kindness and unity.
This is the same as the relationship between retail investors and bankers.
If retail investors gather together as a group, they can easily defeat the bankers. However, the problem is that people are not united. Especially even if some people say that they want to defeat the bankers and lead the charge, most people still wait and see.
So he was easily crushed to death by the banker.
Once the banker takes shape, it will snowball.
More and more scholars are joining the Zhusheng lineage. As long as they join the Zhusheng lineage, their status will be improved.
In the future, when attending a banquet or going out, would you like to say "I am a disciple of Zhu Sheng"? Is it cool?
If you perform well, you can come to the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty to take a get out of class. If you know how to be a person of the world, you might be able to become a disciple of a great scholar.
Who can handle it?
Therefore, as long as people of Zhu Sheng's lineage have done these things well, the next step is to wait for time to ferment.
Five hundred years is completely enough.
It's even redundant.
Naturally, the Zhu Sheng lineage became the largest group of scholars in the world.
They gathered together to admire Zhu Sheng and occupied various resources. Anyone who infringed on their interests would be punished collectively by scholars all over the world.
Any time traveler will understand this truth after reading Das Kapital.
This is why Xu Qingxiao is hated by scholars all over the world.
It’s not that the scholars in the world are brainless and are manipulated by others, it’s that the scholars in the world are all focused on their own interests.
As for scholars being said to be upright, it stands to reason that they should be able to distinguish right from wrong.
So in other words, what is right and wrong?
Who would feel that they have done something wrong?
From the perspective of the Great Wei Wen Palace, did the Great Wei Wen Palace do anything wrong?
Xu Qingxiao was angry at the great scholar. Although Yan Ru did something wrong and was too strict, the question is that you, a junior, are angry at the elders. Is this right or wrong?
From Xu Qingxiao's point of view, it is wrong.
But from Yan Lei's perspective, he has no problem with this matter.
Because there is no explicit rule saying that he cannot do this.
And Xu Qingxiao challenged the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty step by step, established Xinxue, and created a new school of thought.
Although my mental studies are so-so until now, the problem is that everyone respects Zhu Sheng. Not only do you not respect Zhu Sheng or join us, but you also create a new thing?
Don’t you even look at what kind of person you are?
From this moment on, Xu Qingxiao already had a bad impression in the minds of scholars all over the world.
As a result, Xu Qingxiao controlled the government affairs, and Wen Gong made moves. Xu Qingxiao not only solved the problem perfectly, but also made Wen Gong suffer every time.
Can all scholars in the world be comfortable?
Coupled with the innate dissatisfaction with the first impression, they became increasingly unhappy with Xu Qingxiao.
So Wen Gong asked them to target Xu Qingxiao, and they immediately agreed.
What is this called? This is called eradicating dissidents.
Of course, there are some great scholars who did not participate, but their failure to participate does not mean that they approve of Xu Qingxiao, but that they do not infringe on their own interests.
It is even said that these great scholars no longer have any interests to speak of. They either want to spend the rest of their lives in peace, or they have their own ideals and ambitions.
This kind of person is often famous among civil servants but does not have any real power.
It is the existence that Wen Palace promotes, but how and how Wen Palace develops, these great scholars can't say anything. At most they can give some opinions, but the final power is still in the hands of those people.
In the study room.
Xu Qingxiao looked at the candlelight of the oil lamp and gradually understood these truths.
It sounds a bit incredible, but in fact this is the world of adults, where interests determine everything, and the butt determines the head.
And any force that reaches this level will develop like this.
When we look at Wen Gong as an industry, many things become clear at once.
The Wen Palace is getting better and better, and its status is getting higher and higher. Then the Zhu Sheng lineage that joins the Wen Palace's influence will naturally have a higher and higher status.
A certain country controls the military, and its monarch is extremely powerful. He doesn't respect Confucian scholars, right?
I can't defeat you, but with the decree of Wen Gong, all the scholars in the world will not be able to scold you to death.
Ninety percent of the scholars in the world are from the lineage of Zhu Sheng, and the remaining 10% are completely idealistic and unwilling to participate in any struggle.
Therefore, Wen Gong represents the scholars in the world.
Once you have determined your own camp and determined your direction, everything will be much simpler.
Clarify your purpose, focus on your interests, and do what you should do.
All of a sudden.
A sigh sounded.
This time for the imperial examination, Xu Qingxiao finally understood what His Majesty meant.
She was not letting herself control the imperial examination, but letting herself understand what was going on in the Wen Palace now and what was going on with the scholars all over the world.
If you tell yourself these things, I'm afraid you won't believe it, but after you preside over the imperial examination, you will understand many of the truths.
Looking out at the night.
Xu Qingxiao opened the door and was alone for a while.
Under the moonlight.
Xu Qingxiao felt a little ridiculous for no reason.
Confucian scholars in the world!
They look like this. After all, they are just a group of mortals.
It’s nothing more than being favored by God.
The Zhu Sheng lineage can form such a scale, it is inseparable from the favorable time, place and people.
The unique blessing of Confucianism and Taoism makes you a scholar and increases the Yang force between heaven and earth.
It happened that a Zhu Sage appeared and became a golden sign to win over scholars all over the world. I am afraid that Zhu Sage himself could not have imagined that he would be like this five hundred years after his death.
Renhe and Zhu Sheng's lineage are all top-notch people. The seemingly simple method is executed perfectly.
Of course, this cannot be separated from the inevitable laws of nature.
Just like a dynasty, once a dynasty is established, it will expand rapidly without natural or man-made disasters or external enemies. However, corrupt and honest officials will definitely emerge.
This is essential.
But there is one thing that Xu Qingxiao is particularly clear about.
Between heaven and earth, everything follows the laws of nature: Yin rises and Yang declines, Yang rises and Yin declines.
There is no immortal dynasty and no eternal existence.
When most of the officials in a dynasty are corrupt, then the dynasty is about to come to an end.
And when a force like Wen Gong is all about profit, then this force is about to come to an end.
What is lacking is nothing more than a person or a thing.
The building will not collapse suddenly, but when it does, it will happen very quickly.
The lineage of Zhu Sheng.
It's come to an end.
Looking at the moonlight.
Xu Qingxiao was silent for a long time.
Until Mao hour.
The second session of the imperial examination is here.
Xu Qingxiao walked out of the courtyard and slowly arrived at the examination venue, just like yesterday.
It's just that he took back the original test question and replaced it with a new one.
At the main examination location, the candidates taking part in the imperial examination have already taken their seats.
Wang Xinzhi and others came early, and Xu Qingxiao came at the right time.
"I'll pay my respects to Mr. Xu."
At this moment, the candidates and other examiners all bowed to Xu Qingxiao, but Zhou Renming and others were still sitting there, not even standing up.
They seemed to feel that they had let Xu Qingxiao suffer yesterday, so they were even more inexplicably arrogant today than yesterday.
Xu Qingxiao didn't even look at them.
He just nodded and handed the test questions to Wang Xinzhi.
Then he returned to his position as examiner.
Get the test questions.
Wang Xinzhi didn't look at it either, but looked at the candidates.
"The imperial examination has begun, and all the candidates are preparing."
After saying this, everyone returned to their seats.
Wang Xinzhi also came to the bell. After asking someone to ring the bell, he slowly unfolded the white paper in his hand.
Just the next moment.
When Wang Xinzhi saw the test questions, his expression changed.
Wang Xinzhi looked at Xu Qingxiao.
However, Xu Qingxiao's expression was extremely calm. For a moment, Wang Xinzhi sighed, and then slowly spoke.
"Wei Dynasty, Wuchang Year 2, Second Examination Question of the Imperial Examination."
"The Harm of Wen Gong."
Wang Xinzhi almost forced himself to speak out the test questions.
In an instant, as the test questions were announced, the expressions of all the examiners changed drastically, and the students were also in an uproar.
Especially Zhou Renming and others, their faces instantly became extremely ugly.
They just mentioned the goodness of Zhu Sheng's lineage yesterday and ridiculed Xu Qingxiao for not respecting saints. As a result, Xu Qingxiao almost trampled Zhu Sheng under his feet in today's test questions.
In fact, Xu Qingxiao's test questions were aimed at Wen Gong, but in their eyes, Xu Qingxiao was targeting the saint.
"Xu Qingxiao, you are so bold to disdain me as a saint."
The blood in Zhou Renming's body rushed directly to his head, and he roared loudly, accusing Xu Qingxiao of such behavior.
There was great anger.
On the examination desk.
There was no anger in Xu Qingxiao's eyes, she just spoke slowly.
"If you make noise in the examination room, you will be kicked out, your merit will be deprived, and you will not be allowed to take the exam again within three years."
Xu Qingxiao's voice was very calm.
Xu Qingxiao didn't want to deal with people like Zhou Renming at all. He didn't even have rank seven, so he was making noise here.
If he were not the examiner, Zhou Renming would have ended badly.
But I am the examiner, so everything must be done according to the rules.
"Xu Qingxiao, you are so treacherous that you slandered the saint like this."
"If you expel me, I, Zhou Renming, will not take the exam today."
"For people like you, disrespecting saints and elders is an unforgivable sin."
Zhou Renming roared angrily. He didn't care about being expelled. He wrote that kind of article yesterday and no longer considered the imperial examination.
Right now, he just wanted to scold Xu Qingxiao and say everything in his heart.
"Here comes someone."
"The examinee Zhou Renming will be imprisoned for despising the imperial examination, disrespecting Confucianism, and adding guilt to crime. At noon today, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will verify his true identity and behead him in public."
Xu Qingxiao spoke calmly.
Since the other party wanted to die, Xu Qingxiao would not give him a chance.
"Xu Qingxiao, do you dare?"
"I am a person with meritorious service and have not committed any serious crimes. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, you cannot kill me."
When Zhou Renming heard this, his eyes clearly showed panic, but he still spoke with his neck held high.
It's just that the guards in the Gongyuan have already come over and detained him directly without any mercy at all.
In the eyes of these guards, what is a mere candidate? Xu Qingxiao dared to kill even the great scholars of heaven and earth. There is something really wrong with this person's mind.
"Okay, your honor is gone. Mr. Wang, could you please ask someone to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and have this person's honor revoked."
Xu Qingxiao spoke with an extremely calm tone.
After saying this, Zhou Renming still wanted to yell something, but the guards who came to detain him were not stupid.
He slapped Zhou Renming directly on the face and shut him up instantly.
The next moment, Zhou Renming was taken away.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Even the scholar who came with Zhou Renming was inexplicably scared at this moment.
"If you feel there is a problem with the test questions, you can put down your pen and it will be considered as giving up the test."
"This is your right."
"Also, no matter how noisy you are, everyone will be treated equally."
Xu Qingxiao's voice was slightly cold.
He didn't take action yesterday because he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing. The dog barked a few times, so there was no need to provoke it.
But today, the dog has already bitten her. Xu Qingxiao doesn't believe in the theory that it will bite him back.
Xu Qingxiao won't bite him back, just kill him.
However, after Xu Qingxiao said this, all the scholars looked at me and I looked at you. Most of the scholars still participated in the imperial examination honestly.
Although they read books from sages, the problem is that they care more about their own career.
But there were also a group of scholars who got up and left, but they did not seek death like Zhou Renming.
These people are truly brainwashed and successful scholars.
Xu Qingxiao didn't care about these people and still waited quietly.
A few hours later.
It was Yu Yi who was the first to finish writing the exam paper. Xu Qingxiao watched carefully.
In the article, Yu Yi's thinking coincides with his own again, and he believes that the harm of Wen Gong is that scholars are no longer scholars, but people who pursue status and power.
Reading is not for the sake of the world, but for your own benefit.
The article is sharp and every word is exquisite. If this article were shown to the Wen Gong of the Wei Dynasty, the Wen Gong scholar would probably explode.
Withdrawing her gaze, Xu Qingxiao looked at Yu Yi.
The latter felt Xu Qingxiao's gaze, raised his head immediately, and then held his hands towards Xu Qingxiao. He could not stand up. This was a rule, but when facing Xu Qingxiao, he respected him, but this respect was not the kind of flattery and flattery.
It's just respect.
"This boy is a great talent."
Xu Qingxiao wrote "Excellent" on the exam paper.
Excellent is an evaluation that exceeds A. Only the examiner can write an excellent grade, and the other examiners can only classify grades A, B, C and D.
After a few hours.
Someone is here, looking for Wang Xinzhi.
After a while, Wang Xinzhi walked in with a frown and came in front of him, feeling hesitant to speak.
Xu Qingxiao roughly guessed what was going on.
"Master Wang, is there anyone looking for you to ask you to plead with me and bypass Zhou Renming?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Yes, but I refused."
Wang Xinzhi answered without hiding anything.
"If Mr. Wang begs for mercy, I can let him go."
Xu Qingxiao didn't want to damage Wang Xinzhi's face by speaking like this. After all, he was just Zhou Renming and was being used as a pawn. It was stupid.
"No."
Wang Xinzhi shook his head, and then said: "If you don't kill one Zhou Renming, there will be thousands of Zhou Renming in the future. It is not a pity to die for such a person."
Wang Xinzhi said in an indifferent tone.
If it was just some trivial matter, he would indeed plead for mercy, and he would dare to do so in the imperial examination, then there would be nothing to discuss.
After hearing Wang Xinzhi's answer, Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything.
Just like that, the imperial examination ended.
Xu Qingxiao feels like yesterday.
But late that night, after Xu Qingxiao had reviewed and approved all the examination papers, Wang Xinzhi came.
"Shou Ren."
When they met in private, Wang Xinzhi did not call Xu Qingxiao "sir".
"Lord Wang."
Xu Qingxiao was polite.
"What are you going to do after the imperial examination tomorrow?"
Wang Xinzhi was more direct and asked.
"Go back and study."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
"Shouren, after the imperial examination is over tomorrow, go to the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty. You must read the twelve volumes of Zhu Sheng carefully."
"It will definitely help you."
Wang Xinzhi revealed his purpose of coming to Xu Qingxiao.
He knew what Xu Qingxiao was thinking recently, so he came here to remind her.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao nodded, and she understood what Wang Xinzhi wanted to do with him.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
And Wang Xinzhi continued to speak.
"Are there any talents you are looking for in this imperial examination?"
Wang Xinzhi asked Xu Qingxiao.
"There are a few, but not many."
"I wonder how it compares to the past?"
Xu Qingxiao answered and asked curiously.
After all, Wang Xinzhi has presided over more imperial examinations than himself.
"The first imperial examination in the new dynasty was not very good. Compared with the past, it was much worse."
"To be precise, it's getting worse. This year's Yu Yi is very good. His articles are sharp and have a bit of your influence. But it's not good to be too sharp. Without your ability, if you are so sharp, you will be in big trouble."
Wang Xinzhi gave the answer.
Then, he continued to speak.
"After reading Yu Yi's article, I understand why you asked this question."
"Yes, since the death of Zhu Sheng, Wen Gong has been getting worse and worse. It was fine a few hundred years ago, but today, Wen Gong has put aside his preaching and career, and all his thoughts are on how to stabilize Wen Gong's status.
.”
"When the saint was around, they didn't do this. When the saint was away, they were afraid that their status would be unstable."
"Scholars don't look like scholars. This is the current environment."
"Shouren, I respect Zhu Sheng, not Wen Gong. I hope you will become a saint as soon as possible and become a scholar."
"If there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
"In a few years, I will retire and return to my hometown."
Wang Xinzhi said with emotion.
He was also aware of the changes in the Great Wei Wen Palace over the years, so he couldn't help but feel very emotional.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your body and bones are still strong. You will have no problem doing this for another twenty years."
Xu Qingxiao said this.
Wang Xinzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"After reaching this position, no one is willing to give up, but Wei Dynasty needs new people. Each generation will do what the previous generation has done."
"The Wei Dynasty went through the Northern Expedition, the country was shaken, and the dynasty was in the storm. What we have done is to stabilize the country."
"The rest is what you young people should do."
"After Wen Gong left, it may be a bad thing, or it may be a good thing. In the next two years, the Wei Dynasty will be completely stable, and we will leave one after another."
"The Wei Dynasty is left to you young people."
Wang Xinzhi did not accept Xu Qingxiao's comfort, but explained the facts very seriously.
After Xu Qingxiao heard this, she didn't say anything.
After a while, Wang Xinzhi left.
Looking at Wang Xinzhi leaving.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao became even more silent.
Time passes slowly.
The third day.
Xu Qingxiao is still taking the exam.
And the exam questions on the third day.
[The Way of Being an Official]
Xu Qingxiao's test questions are not some classical essays, but rather present the current shortcomings of the Wei Dynasty for the candidates to use.
The test is not knowledge, but thinking.
The third day.
Yu Yi's article is still the best, but unexpectedly, his senior brother also wrote a good article.
Xu Qingxiao did not avoid suspicion and directly marked it as an excellent one.
Until the application time.
The imperial examination is over.
Ten days later, the imperial examination results were announced.
However, on this day, Xu Qingxiao did not approve the examination papers, so he could just leave them to Wang Xinzhi and others for approval.
After the candidates leave.
After a while, Xu Qingxiao walked towards the Great Wei Wen Palace alone.
He wants to see the Twelve Holy Books of Zhu Sheng.
Since I have almost no clue about the Holy Path, it is ultimately difficult to work behind closed doors.
Taking a look at other people's stuff may give you some insights.
Return to the Great Wei Wen Palace.
Xu Qingxiao was not embarrassed at all, but was extremely calm.
After Xu Qingxiao arrived at the Great Wei Wen Palace, the Great Wei Wen Palace suddenly became quieter.
Almost everyone looked at Xu Qingxiao with extremely complicated eyes, but no one dared to say anything or show any expression.
Soon, a figure appeared.
"Junior Hua Xingyun, pay your respects to Xu Ru."
The appearance of Hua Xingyun surprised Xu Qingxiao.
This person was really weird. From the first moment he appeared, Xu Qingxiao thought that this person would cause trouble for her.
But what he didn't expect was that Hua Xingyun not only never made trouble for him, but also worked honestly and never offended him. Xu Qingxiao even heard that Hua Xingyun would protect his reputation outside the country.
Moreover, it stands to reason that Hua Xingyun will also participate in this imperial examination.
But I never thought that Hua Xingyun did not participate.
However, Xu Qingxiao could tell at a glance that Hua Xingyun had already established himself as a sixth-grade Confucian scholar.
When I first saw him, it was just a clear intention.
"Brother Hua, you're welcome. Xu doesn't like this kind of rule."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and smiled slightly.
"Xu Ru's words are serious, Xu Ru, are you here today because of the Twelve Holy Books?"
Hua Xingyun asked.
"kindness."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and the latter didn't say much and took Xu Qingxiao directly to the Great Wei Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
All kinds of looks were cast on her along the way, as Xu Qingxiao entered the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion.
The sound gradually started to sound.
"Xu Qingxiao despises saints so much, can he understand the Twelve Holy Books?"
"You disrespect the saints so much, how can you still have the nerve to read the Twelve Holy Books?"
"Only those with sincerity can understand the Twelve Holy Books. Xu Qingxiao cannot understand it."
Some voices were heard, neither too many nor too loud, just some small discussions.
Inside the Sutra Collection Pavilion of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Following Hua Xingyun's guidance, Xu Qingxiao arrived at the top of the Sutra Pavilion.
On the top of the pavilion, there are twelve stone tablets, and golden holy books are placed on the stone tablets.
"Xu Ru, these are the twelve books of Zhu Sheng. I can't stay here for a long time. I, the junior, are waiting below."
Hua Xingyun was extremely polite.
Xu Qingxiao nodded, then came to the first stone tablet and directly picked up the holy book.
In an instant, awe-inspiring righteousness filled the air, and wisps of holy power came over.
However, as Xu Qingxiao released his awe-inspiring righteousness, the Holy Book became quiet.
This is the original manuscript of the sacred book, and it cannot be viewed by anyone but a great scholar. Some of the true Confucian scholars in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty or the seventh-grade Mingyi Confucian scholars can also read it through excerpts of the great scholars of heaven and earth.
After getting the holy book.
Xu Qingxiao opened it directly and read the holy words.
In an instant.
A majestic voice sounded in my mind, these were the words of Zhu Sheng.
Explain the way of heaven and earth, the way of nature, the way of human race, and the way of all things.
Almost instantly, Xu Qingxiao fell into a state of enlightenment.
I was so mesmerized by what I heard.
The words of the sage are naturally different from others. Even though Xu Qingxiao has great talents throughout the ages, he is still not enough when facing the sage.
The mysteries of the heaven, earth, universe, and the natural laws of all things.
When these truths appear, it makes people feel inexplicably sublimated, as if everything seems less important.
This is the holy way.
Xu Qingxiao quietly realized.
At this moment, the awe-inspiring righteousness around him gradually filled the air.
An hour later.
Xu Qingxiao put down the first volume of Holy Words and picked up the second volume of Holy Words.
He was not distracted and was reading the Holy Word seriously.
Watch book after book.
Reading volumes one by one.
Gradually, the aura of righteousness around him became stronger and stronger.
No, the entire Sutra Pavilion is filled with unparalleled awe-inspiring righteousness.
Another hour.
After Xu Qingxiao got the third holy book and read it.
The entire Sutra Pavilion suddenly heard the sound of chanting sutras one after another.
The sky-high purple awe-inspiring righteousness also erupted at this moment.
boom!
Purple air surged into the sky, and the movements in the Sutra Pavilion instantly attracted the attention of all the Confucian scholars in the entire literary palace.
"What happened?"
"Why is the Sutra Pavilion like this?"
"Isn't Xu Qingxiao in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion? Is this a vision caused by him?"
"I'm so angry. Why does Xu Qingxiao get such a strange scene when he goes to the Sutra Collection Pavilion?"
The Confucian scholars were shocked, but mostly jealous.
"Xu Qingxiao was having an epiphany, and I guessed it right. The Twelve Holy Books were written by the saint himself. They have miraculous effects on people with excellent talents. No matter what, no one can question Xu Qingxiao's talent. These twelve holy books
This book is of great significance to him."
A great scholar opened his mouth and looked at the Sutra Pavilion and said this.
"The Twelve Holy Books are indeed of extraordinary significance. It is normal for Xu Qingxiao to create such a wonder. It is a pity that he is not from my lineage of Zhusheng. Otherwise, the lineage of Zhusheng will flourish for another five hundred years."
There was also a scholar who spoke. He was not shocked by this scene, but regretted that Xu Qingxiao was not from the lineage of Zhu Sheng.
The light of the Sutra Pavilion is getting brighter and brighter.
The hundred-foot purple aura attracted many people in the capital of the Wei Dynasty to stop and look at it.
As time passes little by little.
The purple energy is getting more and more terrifying.
Three hundred feet.
Five hundred feet.
Thousands of feet.
Straight into the sky.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Great Wei Wen Palace was trembling.
In the Sutra Pavilion, Xu Qingxiao has also seen the ninth volume.
The sound of chanting sutras first spread throughout the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, but now this sound of chanting sutras spread to the entire Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Above the sky, clouds of talent are emerging.
The entire Great Wei Wen Palace glowed brightly.
By the end, the icons began to resonate.
The visions are becoming more and more grand.
The sound of chanting became louder and louder.
And when Xu Qingxiao picked up the tenth volume and read it.
boom!
The terrifying Haoran righteousness condensed into a holy statue in the Wen Palace.
But this is not an image of Saint Zhu.
It is the holy statue of Xu Qingxiao.
"Look, this virtual image doesn't look like Xu Qingxiao?"
"Hiss! It really looks like it."
"What's going on? Is it possible that Xu Qingxiao is going to become a saint?"
"You are going to become a saint if you are so good?"
"How can it be?"
"He looked at the Twelve Holy Books and understood the way of a saint. He wanted to become a semi-saint."
"It's possible, very likely."
Those sounds sounded.
The Confucian scholars were shocked, not only them, but also the whole Kyoto.
The Imperial Palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Everyone watched the vision.
The empress walked out of the hall directly and looked at the Great Wei Wen Palace.
The eyes of the six ministries of the Wei Dynasty, the Duke's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, and the dignitaries were also looking at the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty at this moment.
The vision became more and more terrifying.
The light is getting brighter and brighter.
The awe-inspiring righteousness, like a vast ocean, flooded the entire capital of the Wei Dynasty.
The sound of chanting sutras resounded thousands of miles away.
This is indeed a sign of sanctification.
Among the officials.
Chen Zhengru clenched his fists tightly, hoping that Xu Qingxiao would become a saint because of this.
If Xu Qingxiao becomes a saint.
It can turn the situation around instantly.
In the Rites Department, Wang Xinzhi's eyes were also full of expectation.
Throughout the Great Wei Kyoto, the eyes of countless people were full of expectations.
But some people looked nervous.
I don’t want Xu Qingxiao to become a saint.
Book Eleven.
Volume 12.
finally.
Xu Qingxiao picked up the twelfth volume of Holy Words.
This time, Xu Qingxiao only took half an hour to read this volume.
When all twelve volumes of Zhu Sheng were read by Xu Qingxiao.
In an instant.
Xu Qingxiao stood in the Sutra Pavilion.
Countless ideas come to mind.
The figure of Zhu Sheng also appeared in his mind, telling the way of a saint.
Boom boom boom!
The light soared into the sky.
Straight into the sky.
It completely illuminated the entire Wei Jingdu.
A strong wind swept through the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
Between heaven and earth.
The blazing holy will is getting stronger and stronger.
And the phantom of the holy statue in the Wen Palace.
It is also becoming more and more solid.
At this moment, the Wen Palace was in chaos, and many great scholars looked nervous.
The faces of Cao Ru and Fang Ru were extremely ugly.
They never expected that Xu Qingxiao could really understand the holy way with the help of the twelve holy books.
