"Three instruments in one, ask the heavens to return to their places, immortality is fleeting, and doom is relieved!" Ye Yu finally took over the translation of Gu Jian, but the translation was only these sixteen words.

Ye Yu looked at Qiu Chuji in confusion: "Senior brother, this is the text translated by Gu Jian?" ”

"Your Majesty, exactly!"

"This ......"

Ye Yu didn't want to doubt Qiu's chance, but the translation of only these sixteen words seemed a bit far-fetched, you must know that there were more than 100 words above the ancient Jane, why was it only translated into 16 words.

"Your Majesty, please Rong Chen elaborate, the ancient Jian Jian Jian not only implies the secret language of Taoist Danshu, but also uses the method of dismantling and reorganizing words, so it is not a sentence to study and the text is not right...... However, the words listed in these ancient scripts had to be dismantled and shuffled again, and then combined into sentences according to the rules, and after several deletions, these sixteen-character proverbs were integrated! ”

Listening to Qiu Chuji's explanation, Ye Yu nodded secretly, he had heard of the dismantling and combination of words.

The essence of Chinese culture is the Chinese character, the radicals of which can be combined into any script, which makes Chinese one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn.

Because many words are only radical differences, the meaning expressed will be very different even in pronunciation.

The mysterious text that was originally disrupted and reorganized now has to be disassembled and reorganized, and this tedious probabilistic work requires not only excellent endurance, but also a bit of knowledge of the content itself.

Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, and then asked quietly: "Then in Senior Brother Qiu's opinion, what does this sixteen-character proverb mean?" ”

"Your Majesty adheres to the mandate of heaven, and the minister heard that His Majesty was awarded the sword of the Son of Heaven cast by the First Emperor in his early years, and its name is Wentian...... I beg your pardon for being stupid, and I can't go into the deep meaning of it, but ......"

"But what?"

Qiu Chuji paused, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, my Taoist family often has the way of maintaining longevity, since this proverb mentions longevity, and it is related to the sword of the Son of Heaven cast by Qin Shi Huang, so the minister dares to guess that this may be related to the art of immortality......

"The art of immortality?" Ye Yu raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chuji, and a trace of complexity appeared on his face.

"Exactly, it is rumored that Qin Shi Huang has repeatedly sought alchemy and medicine in order to seek immortality, since His Majesty once said that this ancient Jane is from Dongying, Japan, and it is a legacy of Xu Fu's descendants, this may be ......."

"Immortality, it's just nonsense!"

Before Qiu Chuji's voice fell, Ye Yu slapped the cloth roll on the table, so frightened that Qiu Chuji hurriedly changed his words, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty......"

"Senior Brother Qiu, how many emperors throughout the ages have died because they believed in the words of this scholar? How many emperors have misbelieved the words of the scholars, so that the dynasty has been corrupted and traitorous one after another? ”

"Yes, the minister is guilty......"

"Okay, the art of immortality is a fallacy, and now that you have translated the ancient Jane, you don't need to delve into this matter!"

Ye Yu said, then changed his words, took a copy of the charter from the side, and ordered Liu Wuyue to hand it over to Qiu Chuji: "This is a charter drawn up by me, you might as well consider it first, and you can also study it with the people in the Daomen!" ”

Qiu Chuji took the charter and saw that it was a draft of the purpose of the Taoist discipline and the assessment criteria for inclusion in the imperial examination system in the future.

"The constitution drawn up by His Majesty will be discussed by the ministers and the people, but if this edict is implemented, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the people of the world......

Ye Yu snorted coldly when he heard this: "Criticism? As long as I reign for one day, I can't let others say irresponsible things, you just need to do your duty, and a year later, Taoism will be included in the subjects of the imperial examination, so retreat! ”

"Yes! The minister retired. ”

When Qiu took the opportunity to withdraw from the Qilin Palace, the excitement surging in his heart was naturally indescribable, because the charter he was holding in his hand was not only a charter, but also represented that the people in Taoism had truly entered the ranks of the scholars.

"If you can't enter the WTO, how can you talk about being born, if you want to transcend the world and have no desires, you need to enter the WTO and go through birth, old age, sickness and death, seven emotions and six desires, so that you can return to the basics to prove the ......"

This kind of thinking is not Ye Yu's patent, and many people have put it forward before this, but Ye Yu can be said to have done an unprecedented move to list it as a system for the imperial examination.

Qiu Chuji held the hope of Taoism flourishing, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Your Majesty's move, within a hundred years, my Taoism will be able to fight against Confucianism, as for Buddhism, hehe, what is it!?" ”

After speaking, he bowed three times in the direction of the Qilin Palace, and then left the Ouchi Palace excitedly.

In the Qilin Palace, Ye Yu glanced at Liu Wuyue, who was serving beside him, and immediately asked, "Wuyue, you said that I integrated the art of Taoism into the imperial examination, is it right or wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty's holy judgment, how dare the old slave talk about ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, I forgive you for your innocence!"

"Yes!"

Liu Wuyue hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "In the opinion of the old slave, Your Majesty's move must be far-sighted, although Taoism is about detachment from the world and the pursuit of Dan Dao Feather Flying Body, in fact, Taoism implies many ways to govern the country!" ”

"Oh? You know a lot......"

"Taoism gives birth to all things, although Confucianism is the education of sages, but there are also many differences between high and low, but Taoism is not divided into one with each other, and it also has many concepts beyond fame and fortune of 'goodness is like water, and rule by doing nothing', which is not inferior to the way of Confucianism'......"

Liu Wuyue, as an internal servant, was able to say such high-level words, which made Ye Yu feel very surprised.

Seeing Ye Yu looking at him with puzzled eyes, Liu Wuyue hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the old slave has believed in the way of Huang Lao since he was a child, so he has a lot of knowledge about it......

"Huh, really?" Ye Yu smiled slightly, but with a little irony.

After serving Ye Yu for a long time, he was naturally able to capture the strangeness of his master, so he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty is aware of everything, and the old slave saw that His Majesty was busy with Taoism in the imperial examination recently, so he read a few more Taoist classics...... However, it is true that the old slave believes in Huang Lao's technique......"

Regarding Liu Wuyue's explanation of the guilt, Ye Yu smiled and said nothing.

Taoism, itself is a book of emperors, and it is a necessary subject for the emperors of all dynasties to govern the country, and it is actually no different from the compulsory course of Confucianism demarcated by the imperial examination.

If there is any difference, it is that there are many branches of Taoism, while Confucianism is relatively specific.

The second is that Taoism pays attention to philosophy, and does not operate substantively and is simple to educate and popularize, while Confucianism is appropriate to make up for this part.

Philosophy is a thing that cannot be seen or touched, but if a country is to survive, it must exist, just like Marxism.

In Ye Yu's view, the main reason why Liu Wuyue is so keen on Taoism, in addition to intentional flattery, is that the concept of equality in it is very suitable for the inner desire of their slave class.
