Chapter 58: How about trying the magical power of dreaming?
The grandson of three princes.
The two great Confucians represent the four major academies.
They all extended olive branches to Xu Qingxiao. This kind of treatment was simply enviable to death.
These ladies didn't think anything of the recruitment of military generals. After all, it has been difficult for civil servants and military officers to come together since ancient times.
Due to political factors and personality issues, it is inevitable that they will not get together.
It is extremely rare to favor one person at the same time, but they also understand why the Duke of China wants to win over Xu Qingxiao.
The age-old term "Manjianghong" is only suitable for soldiers in battle. Those princes are all watching. If Xu Qingxiao gives it to one of them, it will be a big deal for them.
So it makes sense to fall in love with Xu Qingxiao.
The generals demeaned each other and said nothing. After all, it would be embarrassing to quarrel in front of so many outsiders. If the news spread to the family, they would probably be beaten.
After the two great scholars packed up the articles, Zhao Yuan also rushed over and handed the jade box to the great scholar Zhou Min.
After getting the things, everyone stopped staying.
"Little friend Qingxiao, see you in the capital."
"If I hadn't been too hasty in escorting Jueshi Wen, I would have stayed and had a nice chat with my friend Qingxiao. What a pity."
The two great scholars spoke with smiles in their eyes as they bid farewell to Xu Qingxiao.
"Everyone, please go slowly. When the students leave for the capital, they will definitely come to visit you."
Xu Qingxiao made a gift, respectfully sent a few people off, and made it clear that he would pay a visit.
This kind of connections must be maintained well. If two great scholars and three princes can win the favor of such people, then I can go anywhere in the capital in the future.
Like a crab, and you don’t have to look at people’s faces.
Of course, what Xu Qingxiao understands better is that friendship is something that needs to be accumulated over time. Now I just feel that I am good and have a good impression for a while.
If you are really flattering, you will not be able to please him.
So it's better to let nature take its course.
"Oh, by the way, Qingxiao, you are holding this thing. It was taken out by Wen Gong. It is the Great Confucian Seal. With this seal, you don't have to worry about any demons troubling you and preventing some plots."
Chen Xin was about to leave, but before leaving, he handed Xu Qingxiao a jade seal, which was obtained by Wen Gong, and could protect Xu Qingxiao from being invaded by evil spirits.
This dream-entering technique, similar to that of the Nightmare Tribe, can be effectively prevented.
"Thank you sir."
Xu Qingxiao was grateful, and the latter just smiled and patted Xu Qingxiao's shoulder, without saying anything more, and left like this.
This group of people came and left quickly.
Their purpose is to write a masterpiece. The emperor is still waiting, so naturally they cannot stay.
As for Xu Qingxiao, it stands to reason that he should be taken directly to the capital, but the Holy See has not issued an order, so everything is left to its own devices.
Furthermore, it would not be good to just force Xu Qingxiao to be taken there. After all, she has a family’s life circle, so at the very least, she can’t say goodbye, right?
After the imperial examination, Xu Qingxiao will definitely be ranked first. If he is ranked first in the imperial examination, he can go to Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination, and even have the opportunity to meet the emperor in advance.
In other words, it was only a matter of time before Xu Qingxiao came to Kyoto to develop.
The dragon boat takes off.
Under the eyes of the people of Nanyu Mansion, he entered the sky and then quickly disappeared.
Above the sky.
A piece of blue.
Chen Xin and Zhou Min stood at the head of the boat. They looked at the white clouds and remained silent.
In the end, Chen Xin was the first to speak.
"What do you think of this boy?"
The great scholar Chen Xin opened his mouth and asked the great scholar Zhou Min.
"He has a very good appearance, has a Confucian appearance, has good conduct, is neither humble nor arrogant, has copied hundreds of volumes of articles, and is cautious and ethical, which is rare."
Great Confucian Zhou Min gave him a high evaluation, and at the same time he looked at Great Confucian Chen Xin.
"Mr. Chen has learned facial recognition, what do you think?"
The great scholar Zhou Min asked.
"His face is indeed very good, and he has a Confucian look. But when I look at his face, I can see that he has military ambitions."
"military commander?"
Zhou Min Daru frowned slightly.
"kindness."
"His numerology is martial arts, and he is good at military warfare."
The great scholar Chen Xin replied, and this answer made the great scholar Zhou Min fall silent.
"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, to be able to write such powerful words, I would not be satisfied with the barbarian conquests even if I think about it."
"Now the imperial court is in turmoil. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and a woman has ascended the throne. It is a strange story through the ages. Your Majesty needs the Northern Expedition to stabilize the destiny. The people also hope that the Wei Dynasty will return to its peak. But now the situation is different."
"If we lead the attack, the Wei Dynasty will face a real crisis. But if we don't lead the attack, we will not get the destiny. Now there is an imbalance in the government. If this person is good at attacking with soldiers, it may not be a good thing for the Wei Dynasty."
Chen Xin Daru was somewhat emotional.
Xu Qingxiao is a scholar, but there are two types of scholars, one is Confucian officials and the other is civil servants.
Confucian ministers set their minds to serve the world, while civil servants set their destiny to serve the country.
Everyone knows that the failure of the Wei Dynasty's seven Northern Expeditions was a shame. People all over the world also hope that one day a peerless general will appear and realize the dream of Emperor Wu.
But many things cannot be solved with hope.
The people need to be fed, the world needs peace, the economy needs to pick up, and mountains and rivers are easy to gain but not easy to defend. If the Northern Expedition aggravates internal and external troubles, it will only bring harm but no good to the Wei Dynasty.
The history of the Wei Dynasty for more than seven hundred years may become history in the blink of an eye.
If the internal problems were not too big, according to the temper of the generals of the Wei Dynasty, they would have already prepared the three armies for another Northern Expedition.
"Mr. Chen is a little worried."
"I see that Qingxiao is very smart. Even though he is good at fighting, he also knows how to advance and retreat. In any case, he is my Confucian and Taoist person after all. After he comes to Beijing, I will give him some guidance. I believe he will understand on his own."
The great scholar Zhou Min thought for a while and gave this answer.
"Well, that's why I feel a little relieved. Fortunately, he follows Confucianism. Even if he joins the Ministry of War in the future, with Zhu Shengli's intention, he will not act rashly."
"It's just empty talk whether it's good or bad. In any case, within ten years, we, the Wei Dynasty, will have another great Confucian."
Chen Xin Daru said seriously.
"Ten years? That's almost it."
Zhou Min Daru nodded.
They knew that Xu Qingxiao had been promoted to the eighth rank in less than a month after enrolling in school. This was really surprising, but at the level of a great scholar, things were different.
For ordinary scholars, one can be promoted to the eighth rank in twenty-nine days, but it may only take three or four years to be promoted to a great Confucian scholar, or even have the qualifications to become a saint.
But for a great scholar, being promoted to the eighth rank in twenty-nine days is a surprising thing.
But when it comes to sanctification, this is not a concept at all.
Before reaching the seventh level of Confucianism and Taoism, it can only be regarded as entering the Taoism, nourishing the Qi, enlightening the mind, and cultivating the body, all of which belong to the same stage of entering the Tao.
Not to mention the 29th, they wouldn't be too surprised even if he was promoted to the eighth rank in one day.
The really difficult thing is the seventh level.
Clear meaning.
Only from this state can we understand the meaning of the phrase "one grade, one heaven".
No matter how many timeless terms you write, or how many peerless articles you write, it will not bring you much help, because reaching this state is a change in your thinking, a stage that resonates with heaven and earth.
Even though Xu Qingxiao was promoted to the eighth rank in less than a month.
Maybe Xu Qingxiao will be stuck in the eighth level for the rest of her life.
And some people have never attained enlightenment in their whole life, but if one day they suddenly understand the principles of heaven and earth, they can become saints in one day.
This is the essential difference between Confucianism and Taoism.
The two great scholars valued Xu Qingxiao's character rather than his speed in practice.
Confucianism is more valuable than sex.
The two fell silent and did not continue to communicate.
In Nanyu Mansion.
With the departure of the great scholars, most of the crisis has been resolved.
The publication of Peerless Articles made everyone most worried about demon attacks. Although they happened, they were just minor characters and could not stir up any waves.
Now that the article has been sent away, whether anything will happen has nothing to do with them.
Chen Xin Daru sent a seal to Xu Qingxiao, which was enough to protect Xu Qingxiao's safety, and the crisis was basically resolved.
The Confucian scholars in the Gongyuan were let out one by one, and they had to live and eat in the Gongyuan for two consecutive days. There was nothing wrong with it. The main reason was to witness the publication of a peerless article with their own eyes, and it was hard for them to not be able to tell anyone about it.
Now that the Gongyuan was released, these Confucian scholars were very excited. They had already made up various rumors in the past two days, firstly to brag about Xu Qingxiao, and secondly to show off that they were lucky enough to witness it.
Everyone left, called for friends, and invited them to go to the restaurant. Only one person was a little weird. When he heard about the restaurant, he shivered with fear and refused to leave. He said he had a nightmare and had to go back to study for a year, otherwise
Can't calm down my mood.
Most people have left.
Xu Qingxiao was still left in the Gongyuan.
All the masters want to have a good chat with Xu Qingxiao. After all, such a talented person is here, so he must have a good chat.
Everyone knows now that Xu Qingxiao will have a prosperous official career in the future, especially in the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism.
Since Xu Qingxiao has not yet entered Beijing, everyone will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Xu Qingxiao did not complain. More than a dozen masters protected her and owed her a favor, so she naturally had to repay the favor.
Furthermore, you can also take advantage of the situation and ask about some things in the DPRK.
For example, the background of those people just now.
Have a good chat.
It was late at night, and several of the masters had not slept for several days, and were already tired in the afternoon.
Perhaps Qingxiao's words were interesting and elegant, and the most important thing was to give him face. He praised him every time and made everyone feel very comfortable.
No one wanted to leave, so they kept chatting until midnight. Xu Qingxiao saw that the faces of all the ladies were tired, but she didn't want to leave, so she took the initiative to say that she was a little sleepy.
In the end, although everyone still wanted to stay, they thought that Xu Qingxiao had not rested for dozens of days and was a little sleepy, so they did not continue chatting.
Xu Qingxiao was still resting in the Gongyuan. It was too late and there was no need to go back to the inn. Plus, Cheng Lidong might be waiting for her outside the Gongyuan, so she might as well sleep here.
That night.
Everything is quiet.
Xu Qingxiao was lying on the bed.
I haven't really slept for dozens of days in a row, and the sleepiness is indeed coming over me layer by layer.
Lying on the bed.
Xu Qingxiao stretched her waist.
Just when I was about to fall asleep, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
