Chapter 71

Holding Qinglian Sword in hand, Li Qing walked out of the study and came to the backyard.

"The sword is a gentleman, and I am the censor. Today, I use the tongue and sword to entrust the uprightness of the admonisher. On the road of the censor, always remember your own responsibilities and play your role with due diligence.

I wish to clean up the filth and eradicate evil for the world with my upright nature and awe-inspiring spirit.

Pregnant sword poems should be sonorous, powerful and upright. "

In my mind, poems related to swords flashed one after another.

After the time for a cup of tea passed, Li Qing let out a long breath, his gaze firm.

The awe-inspiring aura surged in his chest, he locked the Qinglian sword in his hand, and said slowly:

"The ancient sword is cold and dark, and it has been forged for thousands of years. The white light embraces the sun and the moon, and the purple air fights the bull."

After reading the two poems, the Palace of Literature burst into light on Li Qingling's altar.

The Qinglian Sword disappeared out of thin air and disappeared into the Palace of Literature.

This sudden scene was unexpected by Li Qing.

He took it easy and continued to read: "If you have a guest to take a look, you don't dare to ask for it if you love it. In the Zhanran Wen Palace, the autumn water does not flow."

In the Palace of Literature, the Qinglian Sword was shining brightly, streams of light overflowed from the sword body.

It seems that there is a precious treasure hidden in it, hidden and waiting to be released.

"The treasure has its own nature, and the green lotus has no companion. It can be folded inch by inch, but it cannot be twisted around the fingers."

The radiance and precious energy of the Qinglian sword rushed out, illuminating the entire Wen Palace with brilliance.

On the sword body, the sword energy is surging, sweeping in all directions.

"May the hearts of the scholars be straightened, and the heads of the courtiers be cut off.

Don't want to report petty grievances, stabbing private revenge in the middle of the night.

I should use it carefully, and I am not ashamed to be a magic soldier. "

Li Qing's last word came down, Qinglian sword was completely different from before, the sword was straight, upright, full of awe-inspiring aura, hanging on the waist of the statue of Wengong.

This scene stunned Li Qing.

With a thought in his mind, the Qinglian Sword disappeared from the statue of Wengong and appeared in his hand.

Holding the Qinglian Sword again, Li Qing could clearly feel that the sword had merged with him, became a part of his body, and could be commanded like an arm.

"go with!"

Li Qing let out a soft shout, and the Qinglian sword came out of his hand, turning into a stream of light and going straight up to the sky.

After fumbling and trying for half an hour, the Qinglian Sword was taken back to Wen Palace.

Back in the room, Li Qing thought deeply.

"Qinglian Sword has not entered the Palace of Literature, and I can use it as I wish, but I can fly the sword to defend against the enemy.

It shouldn't be a problem to fly with a sword like Liu Changfeng.

But this is not lip service.

Could it be that the tongue and sword are bred, and you can't rely on foreign objects.

Or can't use the sword as the carrier, and need to replace it with something else? "

Li Qing pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Looking at the time, I simply didn't think about it.

Tomorrow, I have to go to the palace to plead guilty to Emperor Tianfu.

In Linping Mansion, he was promoted to retry Li Hui's case.

In order to anger the Cao family and attract more treacherous ministers, Cao Fang, Wang Jin and others were beheaded in court.

As a censor, he has the right to be promoted to the court for a retrial and the right to make a judgment.

But in the end, Cao Fang and others still need to go through a series of judicial procedures before they can be consummated.

This precedent cannot be set. Once it is set, later generations of censors will follow suit, which will lead to various unjust, false and wrong cases.

After taking off his clothes, Li Qing lay on the bed and conducted self-criticism.

"My xinxing still needs to be honed, so I shouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Although the evidence in this case is solid, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, Cao Fang and others will undoubtedly die. But in order to help my friend reverse the case and attract more treacherous ministers, I made a big mistake."

"This action is not in line with the standards of a saint, so I will always keep it in mind. I will warn future generations with myself."

……

The next day.

After Li Qing finished his breakfast and put on his official uniform, he went to Yushitai to have his hair done.

Today's Yushitai is no longer sparsely populated.

The censor Zhongcheng, the censor in the palace, and the supervisors of the censor have all been perfected.

Only the censor doctor is vacant, and Li Qing is the only one serving the censor.

I don't know if there is no suitable candidate, or Emperor Tianfu has acquiesced that there is only one place to serve as Yushi.

In short, the two Yushi Zhongcheng never wrote a letter on this matter.

With the officials ready and each performing their duties, the entire Yushitai can be regarded as truly functioning.

Li Qing was keenly aware that Guo Ce of Yingcheng and Zhao Kai of Nanyu, these two humble scholars who were quite capable and had been selected by him into Yushitai, would look guilty and evasive every time they made eye contact with him.

It seems that he has done something to apologize to Li Qing.

"Guo Ce, Zhao Kai, come with me."

Li Qing called the two of them to his office, and felt that it was necessary to find out the situation.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

After Guo Ce and Zhao Kai greeted each other, Li Qing asked:

"Why did the two of you avoid seeing me?"

When the two heard this, they all lowered their heads, looking embarrassed.

In the end, Guo Ce said with shame: "My lord, I... I have owed my lord's love, and I married the niece and granddaughter of Master Yang, a scholar of the palace."

Zhao Kai also said with great shame: "Someone in Taifu's residence came looking for me, saying that my Zhao Family Village in Nanyu is a leftover branch of the Zhao Family in Jingzhou. I... I have recognized my ancestors and returned to them."

In this session of the imperial examination, only Li Qing, Zhao Kai, and Guo Ce were high school Jinshi candidates who were not from aristocratic families.

All three are from poor families.

Poor students who are high school Jinshi must be hardworking and enterprising people with perseverance in their hearts.

According to previous practice, these people will be contested by the major families.

There are even some people who have already been won over by the aristocratic family before the test.

Jinshi such as Guo Ce and Zhao Kai joined the aristocratic family, which is extremely common in this era.

Seeing them hang their heads, their faces are full of shame.

Li Qing sighed: "Guo Ce, your family is poor, you can study and pass the Jinshi exam, apart from your own diligence, it is all because of your mother's good weaving skills, weaving day and night for you to study.

Now that your mother has long been ill, as a son of man, you should repay your mother's kindness.

Entering the Yang Mansion, you can treat your mother's illness, and your mother can live in peace.

This is the filial piety of being a son of man, and I will not blame you or belittle you for this.

I only hope that when you practice filial piety, you don't forget the benevolence of being an official and don't forget to benefit the people.

Zhao Kai, you recognize that your ancestors returned to the Zhao family, and you should also remember the way of being an official. Don't forget the sage books you have read and the sage principles you have learned. "

Guo Ce and the two of them burst into tears when they heard the words.

Qi Qi cupped his hands and said firmly, "We will always remember the teachings of adults! If you betray the principles of sages and sages, you will be inhumane as an official. You will be scolded by the people of the world, and you will die from the five thunderbolts!"

Although their voices were choked with sobs, they were powerful and powerful.

Li Qing nodded slightly, "Go down and do your business."

After the two left, Li Qing stood there for a long time.

Finally tidy up the clothes and go out to the palace.

"Li Qing, where are you going out in a hurry?"

In the courtyard of Yushitai, Zuo Zhongcheng, the former Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and now the Yushi Zuo Zhongcheng, collided head-on with Li Qing.

Li Qing clasped his hands and said: "The lower officials want to go to the palace, and play a book."

"Participate?" Zuo Zhongcheng, the censor, frowned. He couldn't wait to impeach the officials just after the break?Is this young man really fearless?
"Who is involved?"

"Refer to myself."
