What is it like to have millions of students taking scientific examinations at the same time? I am afraid that only by being there can you understand that there is a strong scholarly atmosphere in this Gongyuan. Everything seems to be knowledgeable, every flower, every leaf, and even the table.
Sitting on the chair, Zheng Yuanqing was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a scene in Qingcheng of the Qiankun Empire. The provincial examination back then was simply incomparable with the present one.
Even Qin Hao was like this. He vaguely noticed that these scholarly atmospheres were similar to Zheng Yuanqing's. The half-sage had obviously integrated into them.
"I didn't expect that the imperial examinations in ancient times were such a scene. Although I have never seen what ancient China was like, I have seen the imperial examinations in this world. This trip is not in vain!" Qin Hao said in his heart. The spirit of these books seemed like the world between heaven and earth.
The most awe-inspiring righteousness, ghosts and gods dare not approach it, otherwise they will be wiped out in ashes. Now these millions of actions are reliable, and the aura of the scrolls on their bodies may be strong or weak, but no one can match the aura of the scrolls in the Gongyuan.
Together, except for Zheng Yuanqing.[bsp; Even Qin Hao has benefited a lot. The spirit of these books is simple and pure, but it contains the spirit of awe-inspiring. The purest time for a person's soul is when he does something with all his strength, and
The imperial examinations in the Qiankun Imperial Capital were probably held countless times, and the accumulated scholarly atmosphere was so majestic that Qin Hao even captured the aura of an ancient saint.
You have to know how powerful the aura that a saint emits when he does something wholeheartedly? After hundreds of thousands of years of scientific research, generations of people appear, and there will always be a few outstanding ones. It can be said that every time
Everyone who comes here has left an immortal atmosphere of scholarship in this Gongyuan. Scientific examination is a major event in life, and everyone will try their best to do it. The pure temperament has been left here unknowingly.
here.
Ordinary mortals will only feel refreshed when they come to the Gongyuan, as if any resentment in their hearts has been resolved. This is the result of the scholarly atmosphere. Qin Hao thought what would happen if Bai Ling was brought in? But this
Just thinking about it, the murderous king came out of the murderous pool, and the resentment and murderous intention were only suppressed by Bai Ling's current will. If Bai Ling was brought here, something big might happen.
Once the murderous intent and resentment breaks out, the entire imperial capital will suffer.
You must know that the Killing Pool has existed for countless eras. It is far beyond the scholarly atmosphere of Gongyuan. Bai Ling can be said to have condensed the essence of Killing Pool. Unless you go to the Confucian sect, the imperial examination of the Confucian sect is held once every hundred years.
, tens of millions of people will participate every time, and it started from the era of the Holy King. There are many immortal chapters left there, and there are even the essences of many saints. This may wash away Bai Ling's resentment and allow her to do what she wants.
Let’s do things that normal people can do.
Every time he saw Bai Ling's face that wanted to smile but couldn't, Qin Hao couldn't bear it, but at least he couldn't go now.
"If the King of Holy Kings came here to manifest the gods, I'm afraid they would be suppressed to death. Unfortunately, what I cultivate is the Tower of Faith. The nine-layered pagoda has already been at its peak. It has experienced the baptism of thunder. The energy of these books has no influence on it.
As far as I'm concerned, it's beneficial and harmless." Qin Hao thought in his mind that he could move the pagoda and absorb the energy of the book from time to time. Although this was not as good as his purple energy, it could increase his savings.
In the examination room of Gongyuan, there are countless small rooms. This is where each candidate takes the exam. Different from the provincial examination, this examination lasts for three days. The candidates each receive the examination card and then arrive at their place in order.
, you are not allowed to whisper during this period, and you must report anything to the examiner, otherwise it will be regarded as cheating and you will be expelled from the examination room.
Zheng Yuanqing received the examination card and came to his examination room. In addition to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there was also a furnace of sandalwood burning to refresh his eyesight. Apparently he was afraid that the candidates would be tired and perform poorly and prepare accordingly.
Yes, Zheng Yuanqing took a deep breath, and then opened the kit. These are the test questions for this exam.
There are only three words in it, "Sage's Way". Obviously, the question is based on the three words "Sage's Way". The one with the best article will be the best. Seeing this, Zheng Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned. I'm afraid every candidate will be dumbfounded when encountering such a question.
They are just mere examples, how can they explain the way of saints?
However, Zheng Yuanqing only thought about it for a moment, and then wrote like a god: "The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as rudderless dogs; the saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rudderless dogs!"
This is an astonishing statement, but if it is just a heretical understanding, it may distort the meaning of this sentence, but the real meaning of this sentence is that heaven and earth will not be partial because of kindness, and allow all things to operate naturally.
No intervention. The saint will not show preference because of his kindness, and let the people control their own destiny without any intervention. The key to this sentence is no intervention. Heaven and earth do not interfere with all things and let them fend for themselves.
What seems like indifference is actually the best attitude. For example, when a compassionate person sees a wolf chasing a rabbit, he drives the wolf away. In this way, the rabbit is saved, but the wolf starves.
But some people say that wolves are bad and deserve to die, and chasing away wolves is a good deed. But if you think about it on the other hand, don't humans eat rabbits in the end? Both humans and wolves eat rabbits, so why do we say that wolves are bad?
In reverse thinking, whether it is a wolf or a human, or in the end, a rabbit, all are for survival. A wolf will die without food, and a human will die without food. In the face of survival, there is no good or bad, only instinctive drive. Sometimes people's
Instinct may even be worse than that of a wolf!!!
To give an example, there were wolves in a certain grazing land, and the sheep were often eaten by wolves, so people killed the wolves. As a result, the sheep degenerated because they had no natural enemies. People had to reintroduce wolves. If we let nature take its course, it would not be possible.
If you intervene, a balance will be formed among all things. If you intervene arbitrarily and destroy one of the links, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction with disastrous consequences. Therefore, the best way is not to interfere. Similarly, the saint allows the people to control themselves.
Not interfering with one's own destiny may seem irresponsible, but in fact it is the best kind of responsibility.
As Qin Hao said, everything has its own way, but the way is different.
Anyone who is self-righteous and interferes with society, no matter what kind of compassion he is motivated by, will end up doing bad things with good intentions, because no matter how good your moral and ethical ideas are, it is impossible to be masked. When you take care of some people, you will definitely hurt them.
For other people, it doesn't matter if this kind of thought only exists among the people. But once the ruler raises it to the level of a state religion and regulates the people's behavior, and then suppresses other thoughts, its destructiveness will appear.
.
This is how the history of the human race has passed. For example, Confucianism promotes benevolent governance. It has its own set of perfect theories and principles for life. It seems to be high-sounding, but how many people have been poisoned by it for more than two thousand years? How many injustices have been caused under the oppression of power? For example, Confucianism
If we advocate loyalty to the emperor, wouldn’t those rebellious people like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang have already died long ago?
But even this does not mean that Confucianism is useless. The essence of Confucianism lies in etiquette, loyalty, courtesy, appearance, loyalty, and filial piety. These are all desirable. Why didn’t Confucius intervene in the disputes between the seven kingdoms in his later years? Instead, he only stayed in Lu to compile
Books teach disciples? It’s because he knows that the more you interfere with some things, the more intense they become, but what you get is the opposite effect, so he only leaves the chapters handed down from generation to generation for people to understand by themselves.
"Saints should be teachers of the human race, and moral ethics stop at the heart!" Zheng Yuanqing continued to write, meaning that people should not blindly worship saints, because saints are also human beings, and they should only be treated as teachers and maintain due respect.
Because saints educate the world and let people understand etiquette, justice and integrity, instead of blindly worshiping them.
Because it is meaningless. You will only blindly worship and forget their way, which is against your own heart.
You must know that saints also make mistakes. For example, Confucius once said a classic saying, "I have to examine myself three times a day, which means to examine my own mistakes. If you just blindly worship saints, you are no different from a slave. Life has not yet begun."
But it has already gone astray.
"People are shameless, not people!" Zheng Yuanqing can be said to have brought the best of hundreds of schools of thought in ancient China to the extreme, and Qin Hao directly eliminated those dross of foolish loyalty, so it can be said that Zheng Yuanqing learned everything
It is the most essential thing. If he cannot achieve the way of a saint, then he is not a genius, but a fool.
When Qin Hao observed every word of Zheng Yuanqing's words, he couldn't help but admire. This person is really better than his master. Every sentence is true, but it makes people reflect deeply.
For example, this person is shameless, but not a human being. Why are humans the spirit of all things? It is because humans know propriety, justice, integrity, and shame, but do not even know shame. Then this kind of person is hopeless.
"Know your shame and then be brave, know your shame and then make progress, this is the way of the sage..." Zheng Yuanqing's every word can be said to be coherent and smooth. The more he wrote, the literary thoughts in his mind seemed to gush out like spring water, and the awe-inspiring aura in his body became even more
Although his words were thick and clear, he explained thousands of truths in each sentence.
However, there are simple and clear truths, which are the first truth in itself. The most simple truth in life is often a lot of people, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of wrong roads to truly understand it. When the right path is taken,
, only to realize that I was so stubborn back then, and the answer is actually always around us, and we can even hear it every day.
"Yes, it seems that it is his turn to let nature take its own course in the future." Seeing this, Qin Hao probably understood that the seed had sprouted.
And in the future, the literary world of this world will be overturned, and all the so-called saints who are foolish, loyal, foolish and filial will be demoted to the altar. A true saint will let the world develop without interfering, leaving only chapters for the world to understand in the journey of life.
But Qin Hao also knew that maybe Zheng Yuanqing, a saint, would be the enemy of the whole world because he violated the standards of this world and broke the inertial thinking in people's minds, so he would naturally be criticized by everyone in the world.
This is true to the saying, if there is a teacher, there must be a disciple.
"The way of a saint is to tolerate the world and allow all things to be harmonious. I am determined to be the number one scholar! Half-saint? I will make you a half-waste. Let's see what articles you compare with me!" In another examination room, Su
Mu Zhe was somewhat disdainful of this topic.
"Transfer all sentient beings and free them from suffering, isn't this the way of a saint? It obviously coincides with this." Elsewhere, the little Bodhisattva Xi Moyun also smiled, obviously feeling that this topic was too simple.
"The way of a saint? It's a small skill. Wouldn't it be great to have the great skill of the way of heaven?" The genius of the Tianquan Great Sect goes against the will of heaven.
"There are thousands of clues in the way of saints. How can we guess it? This question is really difficult!" For some reason, the three gentlemen of the Confucian sect were clearly kicked out, but they came in again, obviously from other doors.
, but all three of them encountered problems like everyone else. Facing the saint, most people did not dare to write because they were afraid of blaspheming the saint.
"Well, after millions of exams, no one can understand the true way of a saint?" Sitting in the position of the examiner, the old man looked at the general situation of the examination room, but he was a little disappointed. This person was the official, the former imperial master.
