The auditorium was full of three thousand people, and a beep sound could be heard in the main hall.
"The exam questions will be announced, everyone will be silent."
When Ye Qing heard this, he looked at the jade seal hanging on the high platform and his expression changed. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the white paper, carefully distinguishing the delicate and even texture.
In the past, it was not surprising that there was magic power to suppress it, but now there is no difference in the palace. Suddenly, there is no luck, no Taoism can be mobilized, and even Chuanlin's notes are missing.
This treasure of life is connected with flesh and blood. Unless the old owner is still alive, it cannot be taken away by others. Even if it has such power, it is impossible not to feel when it is taken away.
"The principle is soul consciousness, similar to the space in the Exile Land?" Ye Qing closed his eyes to experience it, but frowned: "I have been in the Exile Land for seven years, and I am very familiar with it. This is not the feeling..."
Recalling the legend of Gongyuan's "Land of Cultural Fortune" in the previous life, some information corresponded, and I lowered my head and looked at my hands.
The time of change just now was too short. Although Ye Qing had been prepared and made sure to press his hand on the white paper, the delicate and even texture did not change at all...
"Is this the Dao Realm?" Ye Qing looked around at the disciples. They were all close at hand, with calm expressions, and thought to himself.
Just as I was thinking about being horrified, I suddenly heard footsteps.
A green and purple official came from the side hall passage. It was the bachelor Tong Shan. He didn't say much when he came to the stage. He only glanced at the exam below and said lightly: "There are only two questions in the palace exam. The papers will be collected on time at noon. Let's start now."
Curls."
As he spoke, he nodded to the real person, held out a golden plate, and bowed to the five-colored imperial edict and crystal jade plate on it.
Immediately, strands of green light and golden light merged, floating in the air, and turned into the word "appear". Seeing this, Tong Shan breathed a sigh of relief. This green light flashed above the palace dome, and suddenly everyone heard a surprised sound, Ye
Qing looked and saw that the title appeared on the first piece of paper.
"The metaphor appears on paper, it's very miraculous. Now it seems that it is indeed the Dao realm... It is really incredible to have reached this point."
Ye Qing smiled bitterly, looking at Ju Ren's demeanor, he realized in his heart that this realm seemed real, but was actually somewhere between real and fake. Even if someone colluded with him, he couldn't accept it at this time. He even fell into the eyes of the invigilator on the stage because of his abnormal behavior.
, he was kicked out of the examination room on the spot for violating discipline.
"No wonder there have been violations of disciplines for tens of thousands of years, but I have never heard of any major cheating cases. Fighting with heaven as a mortal is not on the same level at all..."
Shaking his head, he calmed down and looked at the question.
There are only two questions, which are different from those in the previous life. It is impossible to copy them completely, but the essence of the questions is still the same - the first question is about discussing the Tao, and the second question is about discussing the world.
Ye Qing instinctively had a flood of beautiful chapters and paragraphs popping up in his mind, all of which could be used together, but none of them fit perfectly. The key was whether there was a core idea running through them.
He raised his head and glanced at the high platform. The clepsydra was filled with water again, and the water fell drop by drop. It could be clearly heard in the hall, but other than that, all other noises were isolated.
Since it was still early, Ye Qing was not in a hurry to answer the questions. As soon as his mind changed, Huazhang was passing by in front of his eyes, and some pure artistic conception was brewing in his heart.
"What is the way of a time traveler? What do I want to say to this world on this occasion when I reach heaven?"
Ye Qingning looked at it for a while, and then solemnly wrote on the white rice paper: "The yin and yang above and below are called Tao, and the four directions are parallel, or king."
After writing these eight words, Ye Qing's theme was determined. He was not in a hurry to write, but was thoughtful, thinking about democracy that was thousands of miles away from the topic.
In his previous life, Ye Qing had the saying "Expand it in the world, shrink it in practice", which means that if religion and spiritual practice cannot guide real politics and economy, its "road" will be limited.
Northerners and Southerners are Chinese in their essence.
The essence of Chinese people and Americans is human beings.
Between society and capital, between dictatorship and democracy, and even among all nations, throughout the ages, and in the future, what is the way to transcend the ages?
And what is the difference between this way and the great way of this world?
Is it still one?
Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then drew a few sheep, a few cages, and a few fences on the draft, and then he felt enlightened.
The country is like a cage. This is the essence of the country.
"The way of a great nation lies in the cage and the fence. Feeding the cage and feeding it depends on the virtue. Running the cage and running towards it depends on the height of the gate."
This means that the cage policy is to isolate the citizens. Zhu Yuanzhang established household registration so that the villagers could not leave the county, which profoundly illustrates this point.
The so-called farming war is even more thorough. Cage feeding, morality is equality. Only when everyone has a piece of land and everyone has food to eat, there will be peace.
The essence is that the legal network penetrates into all aspects and can predict residents' activities at any time. It is said that every move and every move has its own law.
The so-called democracy, in Ye Qing's view at this time, was very simple, nothing more than erecting cages and fences.
How many people can understand the essence of the idea of democracy?
Why are some democracies thriving and leading the trend of the times, while others are green coups and are constantly in conflict?
Is it really tuition and a process?
"The cage may be made of bamboo wire, but the fence must be made of wood."
When democracy is established, "anti-democracy" must be established at the same time. This so-called anti-democracy means strong law and national defense in the country.
This is not a contradiction. The cage can be surrounded by bamboo wire, but the cages are all feed chickens, which are all dead meat.
In pastures and pastures, the activity space is expanded, and the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are full of vitality. However, in order to prevent the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks from escaping, and to prevent hungry wolves from outside, they must be surrounded by iron mesh or tall fences.
It is even necessary to establish a general consciousness. This general consciousness is to prevent the outside world from interfering in one's internal affairs through democracy, and to prevent the party from being led by public intellectuals to come to power.
This is the unity of contradictions, but most democratic ideas do not have this core. On the one hand, the United States resolutely safeguards its own general consciousness and traditions, but on the other hand, it avoids talking about it and even exports the opposite - making foreign groups be suppressed under the democratic system.
Split into many pieces, each party has an international backing, fighting each other, constant internal friction, destiny, or lifeblood is controlled by foreign countries, and the country is declining day by day.
Only through the unification of thought, culture, and religion can democracy be restrained, and only then can democracy be truly established.
People are like sheep. Democracy (grazing) can only be implemented if there is a strong fence and no sheep can jump out. Without a strong fence, the sheep will jump out one after another, or the foreign wolves will pounce on them. In this case, this country and nation will
That's it.
To establish democracy, we must first build a fence to resist external aggression on the outside and allow everyone to move within the circle willingly.
This is the foundation of democracy.
From this perspective, the life-and-death route between countries is just a dream. The essence of any country is the way of cages. There is no fundamental difference between democracy and autocracy. It is nothing more than the size of the space for keeping animals in captivity.
no.
But in reality, there are very obvious standards. The hands and feet are tied, and everything touches the French Open. This is the cage.
There is a broad space for activities within the personal scope, but there is no escape. This is a fence.
The way of a saint changes with the times, and determines the appropriate size of the cage according to the actual situation, keeping it alive and preventing it from jumping out. This is the way of a great country, which runs through all history.
The way of a great nation has been established, but does it have anything to do with the way of heaven and earth?
It is nothing more than an enlarged version of the country, with life and death as the legal net and circulation as the principle. However, these "fences" are too high and strong, and no one can escape, so they become the way of heaven, and the three Taoists rule the world.
The yin and yang above and below are called Tao, and the four directions are parallel or king. In this theory, they are like a chicken, and there is no difference between being in this world and being in this world. For a moment, Ye Qing even had the feeling of seeing through all the confusion.
The so-called theory is to observe, confirm, and guide reality from a certain angle. Ye Qing has already felt that his theory, whether it is tied up in him or exposed to the world, corresponds to each other one by one - this is the "big and perfect"
For Ye Qing, the core concept was there. He had read thousands of articles in his past and present lives, and after integrating them and polishing them, he was able to write articles with ease.
I felt a little happy in my heart, but I suppressed it, pondered for a moment, took out a piece of rice paper, and quietly started writing. Perhaps with divine help, insightful insights flowed through me. I no longer hesitated, and wrote with concentration like a dragon or snake.
For a moment, the entire hall gradually faded away, and all the worldly things were far away. Only the handwriting in front of me continued to write in Chinese.
In the main hall, the Taoist was suddenly startled. He felt the jade seal vibrate. He looked carefully and seemed not to believe it. After checking again, he was stunned and silent.
"How is it possible, the Jade Seal suppression, even if three thousand green inscriptions are cut off, how can it still be shocked?"
He opened his Heavenly Eye, and with just a glance, he could see that there was a trace of green and purple aura on a case file, but it was only within an inch of it before it was cut off by the jade seal, causing waves of fluctuations, but it was cut too fast.
, but it is not conspicuous and cannot be seen without looking carefully.
"Blue and purple aura? This is the result of writing a certain aspect of Taoism. Is there such a person among the candidates in this year?" The Taoist saw this and just remained silent, frowning and thinking.
At this moment, someone quietly approached the high platform and came to Tong Shan's side. The man's eyes darkened - this was also noticed by people from the court.
Tong Shan looked impatient at first. What time was it now? It was the imperial examination. He had something to say right now. But after whispering a few words, Tong Shan stood up immediately.
The movement became louder and immediately attracted the attention of the people in the front rows. Tong Shan suddenly felt lost, but he smiled and walked slowly around, his face expressionless and his expression unclear.
"It turned out to be a random inspection." Zhongjuzi lost his mind and continued to answer questions.
Tong Shanlian inspected several rows, and after a moment, he pretended not to care and passed by Ye Qing's table. With a flash of his eyes, he saw the card test.
"Ye Qing, Pingshou County, Nancang County, Yingzhou?"
This name was somewhat familiar. Tong Shan's eyes flashed and he remembered what Yuan Shiwen had reported: "Damn it, what did this person do? But he shut out such a person."
But he completely forgot about his somewhat careless attitude.
