Wu Daosi smiled bitterly in his heart, he was about to give up the last question, but when he saw Ren Zhen say this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start to answer with a pen.

He had analyzed this national war several times in his spare time, so he did not need to think about it on the spot.

"The husband and the fighter win in the time, the place, and the people, these three talents are combined, that is, the opportunity to win.

This battle started because of the invasion of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the timing of the battle was determined by the enemy, and it was a drought in the Tang Dynasty, and the warehouse was empty, so the sky was not in me;

The traitor treasoned and sacrificed the city to the enemy, causing the Lijiang River to be lost, and the enemy army drove straight into the hinterland, which was unstoppable and the geographical advantage was lost;

However, Mencius has clouds, and the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. Although Datang has lost the time and place, if it is more helpful, the army and the people will work together, and they will not be invincible, and the enemy army will be annihilated in Jiangbei! ”

Writing this, Wu Daosi briefly expounded the situation of the enemy and us, and pointed out that the key to the victory of the Northern Tang Dynasty lies in people. There is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, as long as the people's hearts are not dispersed, the Northern Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed.

Ren Zhen nodded slightly, agreeing with this opening narrative, looking forward to how he would plan to seek harmony.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wu Daosi's pen took a sharp turn, followed by an astonishing sentence.

"It's a pity! Indignant! I am in the Tang Dynasty, and the people's hearts are lost! ”

Ren Zhen's eyes suddenly trembled, and he had a faint premonition that this person was afraid that he would have to write more amazing words.

I saw Wu Daosi gritting his teeth, clenching the barrel of the pen, and continuing to write hard.

"Mencius and Yun, the king is like a benevolent government to the people, provincial punishment, thin taxes, cultivate his filial piety and loyalty, enter his father and brother, and go out to his strengths, so that the system can be used to tart the enemy's strong armor and soldiers. This is said: the benevolent are invincible. Looking at what we are doing today, can we have a little bit of benevolence if you want to reign in the world? ”

The last rhetorical question, the pen is extremely sharp, undisguised, and directly aimed at the empress Wu Qingyi!

Ren Zhen's face changed drastically, and in a voice that was almost roaring, he reprimanded in a low voice: "You are crazy! ”

He looked up and looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he quickly snatched the pen from Wu Daosi's hand, and erased the entire text, turning it into a black cloud of ink.

"Do you want to die?"

He stared at Wu Daosi fiercely, his eyes full of anger.

It is precisely because he admires Wu Daosi very much and loves him that he does not hesitate to alter the scroll by hand. He didn't want to watch a talented man in his prime speak wildly and write such self-defeating remarks.

Although what he wrote was true, running in front of the emperor and saying such things was not looking for death, what was it?

Ren Zhen glared at him, angry, still palpitating in his heart, glad that he had discovered this person's scroll in advance, so as not to let a pillar of talent die stupidly.

Wu Daosi raised his head sideways and smiled gently at Ren Zhen, his clean face did not show the slightest panic.

"Sir, you shouldn't stop me."

Looking at this indifferent demeanor, Ren Zhen suddenly had a bad premonition, dragged the scroll away, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Even if you are not afraid of death, it shouldn't be this way of dying." Live well, a great time awaits you! ”

When Wu Daosi heard this, his smile dissipated, and he asked solemnly: "Sir, do you think what I wrote just now is wrong?" ”

His eyes were clear, staring at Ren Zhen intently, trying to catch subtle emotional changes from the face of this examiner of the same age as himself.

Ren Zhen snorted coldly: "Is it important whether it's right or not?" The world is not black and white, you just want to be happy for a while, write great rebellious words, and even lose your life, even if you are right, what is the point? ”

Wu Daosi smiled, and felt satisfied when he heard that Ren Zhen had already revealed his attitude in disguise, so he got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir." ”

Ren Zhen watched his demeanor, faintly uneasy. For some reason, he always felt that the other party was too calm and calm, extraordinary, to be precise, more like life and death.

"Your volume, I just read it roughly, it's not a big problem. Even if you don't do the last question, you can still be at the top. Go back and stay honestly, don't be open-mouthed, the court needs you to make contributions! ”

Saying this from the mouth of the examiner is definitely an obvious hint, which is equivalent to telling Wu Daosi, don't worry, as long as you don't look for something to die, I will guarantee you the title of the gold list.

The corners of Wu Daosi's mouth were slightly raised, which was regarded as a smile, but he did not thank him, and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out not far away, he fell back in front of Ren Zhen and asked seriously: "Mr. has lived in the world for a long time, has he dealt with Mellow Confucianism?" ”

Confucianism practiced in the world's outer academy, and mellow Confucianism studied and entered the mortal world, although the two ended up together, after all, they had different paths and would hardly deal with each other in ordinary times. Wu Daosi suddenly asked this, what was the purpose?

Ren Zhen asked rhetorically: "Don't you think that there is no superiority or disadvantage between the two?" In that case, why bother? ”

Wu Daosi shook his head and explained: "If you deal with Confucianism a lot, you should be able to understand that Confucian cultivators outside the world are not real scholars, or in other words, lack the backbone of literati. ”

Ren Zhen was thoughtful.

"Powerful people will inevitably be conceited, consciously or unconsciously, and take the lives of ordinary people too lightly. If you have never been weak and helpless, you cannot truly understand how precious the perseverance of those weak literati is. ”

Ren really seems to understand whether he understands or not.

Wu Daosi saw his reaction, and it was difficult to explain his feelings, and concluded: "Life is not the only precious. In order to hold on to certain good qualities, many people die without regrets. ”

Hearing this, Ren Zhen finally understood, and said for a long time, it turned out that the conceited strong man just now referred to him, and the weak literati referred to Wu Daosi himself. As for having no regrets even though he died, it should be Wu Dao's ideological explanation, why he dared to make a blunt admonition on the test paper, and regarded death as home.

Ren Zhen smiled dumbly, "The top grade of the Five Realms, are you considered a mellow Confucian?" ”

Wu Daosi was noncommittal, and said awe-inspiringly: "Mr. lives in a temple and is in power, so he should know how to respect the weak and respect integrity." For your care for me, the younger generation is bold, and I have a reluctant request. ”

As he spoke, he slammed into the ground.

Seeing this, Ren Zhen was curious, when he hinted that he could be lifted just now, he didn't thank him, what was it that deserved him to be so solemn.

"Tell me about it."

Wu Daosi raised his head and said, "I want you to take the time to go to Beihai County to have a look." There's a lot of people out there, the kind of people I say, real readers. ”

"North Sea ......"

Ren Zhen whispered softly, his eyes flickered, thinking of the tragic and unjust case of tens of thousands of people who went to their deaths to defend the road, and his expression was solemn and solemn.

If you have the opportunity, you should pay tribute to the integrity of the reader.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Wu Daosi stopped bothering and quietly retreated outside the hall.

Ren Zhen suddenly turned around, looked at him who was about to leave the palace gate, and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

He had already guessed the answer in his heart, and he just wanted to confirm it face to face.

Wu Daosi stood in the distance and said, "I'm from the mortal world!" ”
