Chapter 78 Divine Grant of Sovereign Power
Open the "Great Zhou Qinlu", and there are eight big characters engraved in gold on the title page: The king's power is bestowed by God, and the law orders all nations.

Li Qingniu looked at these eight characters and thought for a while, after reading the previous part, he couldn't help being puzzled.

Is this monarchy really granted by God?According to the law, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the son of heaven, and he had the blood of the god of heaven in his body, so all the people obeyed the son of heaven in their lives, and they obeyed heaven.However, if my dad doesn’t let me do it, I still have to do it, so do I still mean my dad?Doesn't the Son of Heaven make mistakes?God?what exactly is it?
I couldn't think clearly for a while, and I couldn't help being a little bored. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind me and stared at Li Qingniu.Suddenly said:

"Is there something puzzling about the "Great Zhou Qinlu"?"

When the voice came out, Li Qingniu was startled. Turning around, it turned out to be Master Yan. He had seen it from a distance before, but he didn't know when he was behind him.Hurry up and salute.

"Meet the master!"

Master Yan also returned the gift and continued to ask:
"I saw you frowning and muttering to yourself while watching "Great Zhou Qinlu", is there something you don't understand?"

"Returning to Master, I was just wondering what the hell is this day? Why is there a son?"

Master Yan was a little surprised to hear that Li Qingniu was thinking about this question.After pondering for a moment, he replied in an uncertain tone:
"People in the world call the sky we see when we look up the sky, and they think that it is the sky that rules everything. If we look at it from a strict perspective, then the sky should be the ruler of all changes and substances. Taoists believe that the sky is a law, a natural law. The law of operation, so it is called the way of heaven."

"What's the rule?"

"Well, what kind of things are bound to change or not to change, for example, water always flows to the ground, the seasons always repeat themselves throughout the year, the sun, moon and stars always follow a certain trajectory, etc. .”

"What about that day?"

"I can't answer this question for you, but what is certain is that all conscious beings in the world are looking for something!"

"what?"

"What is the purpose of my existence!"

Li Qingniu was confused and asked again:

"What does this have to do with the existence of the Son of Heaven?"

"All beings have different purposes of existence, but there is one thing in common, eternal life!"

"eternal life?"

"Yes, immortality. All things in the world, both unconscious and conscious, are seeking eternal life. Conscious people should think about the purpose of their own existence. Most of them will choose to let themselves exist forever, and even live the same life as the heaven and the earth, and even transcend the shackles of the heaven and the earth. .

And only God knows the answer.Because all living beings have been born, aged, sick, and died, and all things have been dying, rising and falling, only the sky has always existed, and the earth has always existed, and the sky has ruled all of them.

Therefore, whoever can represent the sky can dominate everything.The rest is up to you to understand slowly! "

The confused Li Qingniu was stunned for a while, this Master Yan seemed to have said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything.What a different wife.

But Master Yan thought in his heart, what a strange disciple, asking such a profound question almost destroyed my image of being a learned scholar.As for how much you can comprehend, that is your chance.

Following the entry of more than a dozen disciples from the outer sect, Master Yan's class on criminal justice began, and the main content of today's topic was the county officials and the people.

The prefecture is also the home of the emperor, the one who selects and appoints the able to rule the people, inherits the sage and propagandizes, returns to the people, harmonizes yin and yang, straightens the five qi, follows the way of heaven, and supports the emperor!

The country is the heir of the king, the patriarchal blood, the meritorious kindness, the land and the country, the law of the emperor, the people in the country, and the blood and food to help the emperor to support the way of heaven!
Officials, the emperor, the king, and the ministers of the principality!On the top, you can understand the good fortune of heaven and earth, understand the five qi of yin and yang, understand all living beings and the people to assist the emperor, king, and public, and on the bottom, you can understand the scriptures and codes, clarify criminal laws and regulations, and broaden the natural resources to nurture the people.

Master Yan's lectures are broad and profound, not limited to textbooks, nor limited to criminal names.Although Li Qingniu was confused, he still understood a part of it more or less.

At this time, Master Yan suddenly stopped teaching and asked:
"What ambition do you have?"

A bastard son of a nobleman stood up and answered:

"Wish to make meritorious deeds, get the gift of the emperor, seal the land and build the country!"

Master Yan nodded and commented:
"I would like to wipe out your aspirations! If so, I would like to enlighten your people!"

Another son of a county official stood up and replied:
"My ambition is to go to Shendu, participate in the Shendu Dabi, and then become the humerus of the emperor, and assist the emperor in governing the world!"

Master Yan lamented:
"Strong, may you wipe it, and there will be good ministers?"

There was another man with a hulking back, who stood up generously and said:
"Master, my ambition is to be a great general, to pacify the Quartet and guard the frontier."

Seeing his majesty and bravery, Master Yan couldn't help but praise him:

"It is a country's fortune to be willing to risk arrows, go forward bravely, endure hardships, and defend the frontier!"

When the 12 students in the class happily finished their aspirations, Master Yan cast his eyes on Li Qingniu.

Li Qingniu had been observing for three months and knew that in class, observers like himself were generally not allowed to take the initiative to ask questions, and the teacher would not take the initiative to teach, so he still stayed in the corner and did not speak.

Master Yan saw that everyone stood up to answer, but Li Qingniu didn't say a word, so he asked:
"The disciple who is watching "Great Zhou Qinlu" in the corner, what is your ambition?"

Seeing Master Yan asking himself, Li Qingniu quickly got up and saluted and replied:
"Is the master asking me?"

"Ok!"

"Master, my name is Li Qingniu. I'm a boy in miscellaneous subjects. I'm here to listen."

"Does this have anything to do with your ambition?"

This confused Li Qingniu's question, and he said to himself, isn't this because he is afraid of making you angry by answering rashly? Since you want to ask, then I will say it.But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't know how to answer for a while.

When I was in the village, my biggest ambition was to leave the village, start a career, become a general or something?

After leaving the village, on the way to study, what I think about is studying hard, trying to go to the capital of God, or unlocking the secrets of the family.

After seeing the world of warriors and cultivating immortals, I once thought that I could cultivate into immortals and gods.

But when I arrived in the county, I realized that the most important thing for me now is to live myself, pass the assessment, and become an outer disciple.

Master Yan saw that he had not answered for a long time, but the question he had seen before class was very interesting, so he guided:

"Don't think too much, you can start with what you want to do most now."

"Uh, what I want to do most now is to pass tomorrow's assessment and officially become an outer disciple!"

The people in the classroom immediately felt that it was funny, and burst into laughter.Master Yan didn't care, and continued to ask:

"and then?"

"Then study hard and strive to become an inner disciple. Not only do you not have to carry goods up the mountain, but you can also avoid tuition fees and get the best teacher and professor to guide you."

Speaking of this, some disciples stopped talking, but some couldn't help whispering.

"At the age of 13, he is still a Mengtong. Is there any hope of becoming an inner sect disciple? He is overestimating his abilities."

Master Yan continued to ask:

"and then?"

Li Qingniu paused and said:

"After becoming a disciple of the inner sect, you can participate in the evaluation of county officials. Start from the small officials, help the poor and save the orphans, and find a way of survival for the weak!"

Speaking of this, Li Qingniu's words were suddenly high and firm.Master Yan said thoughtfully:

"I'm just a small official. I'm afraid that the top will not be able to respond, and the bottom will not be able to save me. How can I talk about finding a way of survival for the weak?"

Li Qingniu gritted his teeth, became more courageous and determined.

"Then for one county guard, start a new policy, teach the people, and save the poor and weak!"

Master Yan wanted to ask again, but he was afraid that the boy would say something rebellious, so he interrupted:
"It's so good, I hope you will abide by Hongzhi!"

　Scholars must be resolute and diligent!It takes hard work to achieve great ambitions.
