Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 143 The Way of Heaven (4k)

Daliang was founded in 190.

Liangdi Anping 43 years, the eighth day of February.

This day is the day of the imperial court's spring examination.It is also the largest test since the founding of Liang Dynasty.There are tens of thousands of people participating.

In previous years, from all over the country, at most five or six thousand people participated in the general examination, fighting for the three hundred Jinshi places.

Seeming to have a premonition that the dynasty was coming to an end, many Juren wanted to take this opportunity to pass the Jinshi examination and obtain an official position.

Because the burdens on all parts of Kyushu are too heavy, it is not realistic to rely on the power of the imperial court to put down the chaos.

Recently, there has been a blow from the imperial court, wanting to restore the ancient feudal system.

Use the power of the local area to calm down the chaos by yourself, without abolishing the imperial court.

Otherwise, the imperial court would be taxed too heavily, and examples of officials coercing the people into rebellion would only be common.

It's just that as soon as this remark came out, Emperor Liang directly reprimanded it as a scholar's opinion.

But the demands of the localities for the promotion of power are obvious.

If you are awarded a Jinshi, you will be released as a magistrate, and your authority will definitely be improved.

Or stay in the capital of God, be well-informed, and be able to seek greater benefits for your family as soon as possible.

Once entering the troubled times, the local forces with no information will suffer the most.

The city of God is very large, and the examination room is not far from Donghua Gate.

Qin Chuan lived in a remote place in the west of the city, so he went out very early, and the east was still dark.

Now is the time when it is warm and cold.

Shendu is in the north of the empire, and the spring is cold, and many eaves are still covered with frost. In normal times, except for those who watch the watch, collect night incense, and soldiers who are forced to patrol the city at night, almost no one is willing to go out at this time.

But in today's God's capital city, many torches illuminate the road.

The grand occasion of cars running like flowing water and horses like dragons seems to be celebrating the Lantern Festival.

Tens of thousands of candidates approached Gongyuan, the examination center in the east of the city.

As for the Heavenly Street leading to the Gongyuan, along the way there are Imperial Forest Army to maintain order, many of them are martial arts masters, with soaring blood and energy, like beacon smoke gathering.

Any cultivator who wants to make mistakes will have to weigh it up, feeling fearful and apprehensive.

Qin Chuan went out alone, weaving through the crowd.

He asked Qingqing to take good care of Ying Ning in the small courtyard and not to go out until his exam was over.

Qin Chuan also left the Qingxuan sword behind to guard it in the small courtyard.

Qingxuanjian and him are in love with each other, and Qin Chuan will know immediately if something happens.

It was expected that nothing happened.

Qin Chuan thought, mother and daughter are connected.Ying Ning came to Shendu, my aunt should know about it.He found Ying Ning these days, always going up to the roof from time to time, looking in the direction of the imperial city.

Ying Ning always looks there subconsciously, saying that she wants to know what's going on inside.

When asked why, she couldn't tell.

But Qin Chuan knew that it might be the nature of mother and daughter Lianxin.

So Yingning probably had her secretly watching over her.

Qin Chuan thought, if the young aunt was forced into the palace by Empress Taishan, and she didn't want to stay in the palace, Qin Chuan would definitely take her away when she had the strength.It can be regarded as an explanation to the dead uncle.

Before that, I must find an opportunity to meet and ask about the situation.

Qin Chuan didn't exert the power of the primordial spirit on purpose, and only relied on his body's physical strength to move forward in the stream of vehicles and horses, with a feeling of not being stuck in things.

After all, the light of a torch is not as bright as the daylight.

Unexpectedly, no one noticed that among the convoys and crowds, there was a person who kept moving forward, and no chariot, horse or servant who cleared the way hindered Qinchuan's progress.

Qin Chuan walked in the red dust of this busy city, not a single leaf touched his body.

There is quite a feeling of "I am busy in the city with swords when I am free, and no one knows that I am a real fairy".

The world of mortals is muddy, and he hasn't touched him at all. He moves forward peacefully, without being stained by dust, which is very interesting.

Before he knew it, Qin Chuan came to the Examination Tribute Court.

The items paid to the emperor are called tributes, and the candidates who participated in the tribute court examination were the talents who paid tribute to the emperor, so they were named Gongyuan.

This is the sacred majesty brought by the monarchy with the color of destiny since the Han Dynasty.

Even a scholar thinks he is the proud son of heaven and is pretentious.

But when you go to the Gongyuan, you have to admit that you are just a talent who pays tribute to the emperor, no different from a tribute, and submits to the divine monarchy.

No matter how I comforted myself in the past, I learned literary and martial arts and sold my goods to the emperor's family.

At this moment, I have to admit that this is not a transaction, but an active surrender.

Under the whole world, there is no king's land; on the coast of leading the soil, is there no king's ministers.

At this moment, the program of the monarch, minister and father must be implemented to the end.

Come outside the gate of the Gongyuan.Qin Chuan once looked at the Gongyuan from a high place, and knew that the layout inside was rigorous, with towering walls and a gloomy environment.The courts and government offices displayed under his astonishing eyesight are tall and fortified.

The test sheds inside are very simple, and it is said that there are more than 9000.Because there are too many referees, it is probably expanded temporarily now.

The outer wall of the Gongyuan is three layers, including the outer thorn wall, the inner thorn wall, and the brick wall.

There are also watchtowers at the four corners of the Gongyuan, which mainly play a monitoring role.

There is a brick door on the east and west brick walls, and there is a memorial archway inside the door. In the middle there is the "Tiankai Wenyun" archway, and on the central axis are the gate, the second gate, and the dragon gate, also known as the three dragon gates, which means carp jumping over the dragon gate.

When it was dawn, candidates began to enter the tribute courtyard one after another. They had to go through extremely strict procedures such as roll call, search, and collection of papers.

Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi.

Qin Chuan looked particularly young among the crowd.

Because he stayed behind closed doors and did not go to the Wenguan to participate in the Wenhui, few people recognized him as Xie Yuan from Yujiang Province.

Mostly only the people in this province can recognize it, but it is impossible to deliberately come up to chat at this time, so as not to cause misunderstandings by the examiners of the Tribute Academy and the surrounding supervisors.

However, as a Juren under the age of [-], although Qin Chuan was eye-catching, he was not the youngest in the examination room.

A novice monk about twelve or thirteen years old was extremely eye-catching when he entered the examination room.

This young novice monk who has just passed the age of a chuitiao boy is obviously known by many people.

Someone whispered.

"That's the young apprentice of the national teacher. He just took part in the autumn test in Shendu last year, and his literary talents are outstanding. I didn't expect him to come to take the test of this subject. I heard that he is only 13 years old this year. He is really a child prodigy."

The national teacher is a great monk whose origin is unknown. He preaches the Dharma in the capital of God, and has almost tens of thousands of followers.In recent years, he has gained the trust of Emperor Liang, even surpassing Tao Zhenren who practiced in Xuandu Temple, the capital of gods.

This real person practiced in Zhongnan Mountain before coming to God Capital.Emperor Liang fell in love with him and communicated with him from time to time.

The world once called him the Prime Minister of the Mountain.

After coming to Xuandu Temple, the capital of the gods, Emperor Liang's favor and trust in him continued undiminished. In the past ten years, many cabinet bosses have fawned on him.

Until four years ago, the national teacher turned out to be born, and defeated Tao Zhenren in a fight for rain.As a result, the national teacher won the trust of Emperor Liang.

That's why Tao Zhenren's favor declined greatly.

Now he lives in seclusion in Xuandu Temple, and rarely communicates with the outside world.

It is said that the young apprentice of the national teacher was selected from among the victims of the disaster, and was carefully trained by the national teacher. Last year, he became a blockbuster during the autumn test in the capital of God.

The talent displayed by this little national teacher named Daoyan shows that the national teacher is not a monster in the rumors, but a real talent and learning. Not only is he proficient in Buddhism, he is also very proficient in Confucianism.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Dao Yan was, it would be impossible for him to pass the exam at the age of 12 and take the exam at the age of 13.

The national teacher sent him to participate in the examination, probably with the intention of showing off.

Some people secretly felt that the national teacher was far more ostentatious than Tao Zhenren, and the national talent promotion ceremony had become a tool for him to show off.

Some people muttered to themselves that the national teacher has been traveling all the time, with a lot of ostentation, and sooner or later he will cause trouble for himself.

There is nothing wrong now, but it is because His Majesty favors him.

Once the holy family is weak, how can the national teacher and his disciples end well.

It's a pity that this little child prodigy, at such a young age, doesn't know the dangers of the world, and is used by the national teacher, so he will hardly end well in the future.

"Amitabha." Dao Yan entered the dragon gate and saluted the people around him.

The Sanskrit sound spread and spread, quelling those criticisms and whispers against him.

After they heard the mantra, they didn't dare to talk about Dao Yan and the national teacher anymore.

There is a kind of argument that slanders the Buddha, and slandering the Buddha is a crime.

There are brilliant people who recognize that this is a unique skill of the national teacher - the immeasurable Sanskrit sound.

At such a young age, Dao Yan was able to master the superb skills of a national teacher, which shows that he is far from being underestimated in the practice of Buddhism.

He is only so young, and it is impossible for him to be so powerful in the practice of beating a mother's womb.

Is it the reincarnation of ghosts and immortals?
...

...

Gao Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief examiner of this exam, and beside him is Lu Wanli, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is the deputy chief examiner for this time.

Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli stood on the Mingyuan Building inside the Longmen, watching the candidates enter the arena one by one, Gao Zhen couldn't help feeling, "I haven't seen such a grand event in many years. This time we are selecting talents for the country, we must select the real candidates. Such a great talent, it cannot be said that he will be able to recreate the prosperous world."

Lu Wanli smiled: "With Uncle Da Zong here, this test will definitely select a real pillar."

Gao Zhen smiled casually: "Qiaochuan don't want to flatter me. My knowledge is not worth mentioning in the academy. I am reluctant to be a lecturer. Now I come out to be an official. I just write books and make a statement. The next best thing. If you are lucky Well, the selection of great talents for the country is also due to His Majesty's great blessing. Relying on the grace of heaven, how can you be greedy for the merits of heaven."

Lu Wanli: "Uncle Da Zong has a mind like the sea, which is exactly what I need to learn."

Gao Zhen said with a half-smile, "I heard that there is one of your favorite students who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, have you met him?"

Lu Wanli shook his head, "That kid is very assertive, I don't think he is his teacher. On the contrary, I learned something from him. Moreover, he is young and has cultivated a noble spirit. If he wants to teach, he has to be taught by the academy. Minor knowledge can only delay others."

Gao Zhen was slightly surprised, "You have developed a noble spirit at such a young age, why didn't you tell me earlier that I can directly recommend him to enter the academy."

Lu Wanli smiled, "Young man, full of vigor and high spirits, right to promote writing, a prince of dung. He entered the academy early, how did he become famous in one fell swoop? Lingzhou is a place, and Yujiang is a province. He can't even raise dragons. He is trying to make him He came to the gods to become famous, the world heard about it, and he was proud of his youth. Only in this way can he experience the pomp and refinement, become rich and noble, and become a truly world-class talent."

Qin Chuan's hearing is amazing, and he heard the conversation between Lu Wanli and Gao Zhen without using supernatural powers.

He slandered in his heart, "I didn't say I want these false names. Do you think I haven't experienced those things?"

He has been reincarnated in several lives, and he is not white reincarnated.

The world knows that a teenager is famous, and there are indeed countless open and hidden arrows.

It would be great if you could go directly to the academy.

But entering as a first-class Jinshi, the attention he receives is completely different, and it is easier to get in touch with the Dao Yun he wants to obtain.

It can even get close to the heavenly book mentioned by the old demon of Montenegro.

This is also the reason why Qin Chuan took part in the scientific examination in a down-to-earth manner.

When Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli were chatting, Xiao Guoshi Daoyan made a Sanskrit voice to silence everyone's whispering.

It also made Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli stop chatting.

There was a hint of anger in Gao Zhen's expression, "What a good demon monk and a good disciple."

Lu Wanli: "This Daoyan is indeed a child prodigy, but it is a pity that he was trained by the national teacher early, so he is not suitable for our Confucian school."

"If things go wrong, you are a demon, and this kind of demon boy will be a disaster sooner or later. But since he participated in the examination according to the rules, even if we recognize his article, we must evaluate it fairly from the heart, and we cannot use it to harm the public of the imperial examination. .”

"What Uncle Da Zong said is true." Lu Wanli echoed.

Dao Yan's immeasurable Sanskrit voice really made Lu Wanli a little worried. This son is quite strange, maybe he wants to steal Qin Chuan's limelight.

In his heart, Qin Chuan wanted to take the first place in the examination.

Will try the first, that is five yuan in a row.

The emperor believed in gods, Buddhas and immortals, and liked auspiciousness. Knowing that Qin Chuan won five yuan in a row, he would definitely not hesitate to give him the number one title.

The feat of scoring six yuan in a row.

Thinking that the unique grand feat of winning six yuan in the world was born from his hands, he can also be famous in history with Qin Chuan.

There are three yuan worlds, but there are no six poems in the world.

But now that a demon boy suddenly appeared, Lu Wanli could not help but feel that there might be an accident.

I only hope that Qin Chuan can perform stably, and it is best to perform supernormally, and then write an eternal famous article similar to Injustice.

Although the examination also takes the eight-legged essay.

But for those who can get to the stage of the test, stereotyped essays are all about eating and drinking, and it is difficult to distinguish the high and low.

The key is still in policy theory.

However, the exam questions this time are quite ambitious.

...

...

After going through tedious procedures, they entered their respective test booths, and the test questions were finally distributed.

The stereotyped exam questions were very common, and Qin Chuan finished them quickly.

Then open the topic of policy theory.

"feudal".

In just two words, this is the topic of policy theory.

The feudalism here does not mean a feudal society, but the meaning of "building a country with soil", which is the state system before the Qin Dynasty, which has long been eliminated.

This is for candidates to write feudal theory.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, and wrote two words without typing.

"world."

Then write the full first paragraph,
"Does heaven and earth have a beginning? I don't know it. Do living people have a beginning? I don't know it."

Accompanied by his writing, the words on the white paper suddenly gathered youthful spirit and soared into the sky.

Condensed into the shape of a blue bird.

The blue bird lives in the fairy world, not in the common world.

For the messenger of the sky.

This kind of vision was observed by many beings in the city of God for a while.

"Writing is as good as the sky."

"Who's writing can reach the way of heaven?"
