Chapter Thirty-Eight: No Choice
It's late at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Chengkong still sat straight at the desk and lost his mind, thinking of the appearance of the people covered in blood and fleeing for their lives, his heart was not happy.
"Abandon the city and flee...... Abandon the city and flee! As he read it, the scene of Nangang County's order leaving all the people to flee for their lives alone came to his mind, and he said angrily: "These people only drink and have fun on weekdays, and they flatter ...... Is this what officials want to enter the court? ”
The sages of the Chinese clan are all teaching the children and grandchildren of the Chinese people that if they are gentlemen, they must be benevolent to the people of the world. Lu Chengkong, who grew up in the future, although he regarded the sage book as a feudal superstition, but he had an innate national soul hidden in his bones. Especially these days, he has been studying the books of sages for the imperial examination, and the figure of the saint is getting taller and taller in his eyes, so when he heard that Nangang County ordered him to abandon the city and flee, how could he not be angry?
Lu Chengkong is unwilling to be in the same stream with such a greedy person who is afraid of death, if he enters the court as an official, just for wealth, power and women, he will definitely look down on himself.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the desk, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The book of "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on the table was eye-catching under the candlelight, as if it emitted bursts of light.
"Why did I come into this world? What is life for? How can I go back? Lu Chengkong's heart became hot, and his breathing became more and more rapid, these three questions can only be answered by this "Lu Sheng's Art of War".
In an instant, he recalled in his mind what the strange man who appeared on the college campus said: "This road, there is no turning back." Where did you come from, and where did you go back. Remember, the road is full of difficulties and dangers......"
"This way...... Is this the path I should take? ”
"The 'Lu Sheng's Art of War' in the ancient tree, the strange dreams every night, the legend of the 'Lu Sheng's descendants' in this world, and the war is just around the corner......" When Lu Chengkong connected all these together, a trace of red light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask again and again: "I came to this world, do I want to save all the people from fire and water?" Why am I so excited when I hear about the war? ”
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and could feel this burst of excitement, which had appeared in his dreams countless times, from the deepest part of his heart, and was not controlled by himself at all.
At this moment, Lu Chengkong, all his thoughts are not noble enough to save the world. But seeing that the innocent people around him were about to suffer from the war, as a descendant of Huaxia, his heart was by no means a taste, and he couldn't help but feel compassion, "If the traitors capture Yingxian, Zhongli will definitely be hurt...... If I go to Beijing to take the exam, who can protect her? ”
In the past six months, Lu Chengkong has been trying to find clues that can explain all this. Until this moment, Lu Chengkong firmly believed that he was the general who saved the people.
As soon as this thought came to him, his chest suddenly shook violently. Lu Chengkong pressed his hand on his chest, quietly feeling every beat.
This feeling is the unity of mind and mind.
"It turns out that this is my Lu Chengkong's fate!"
"Haha...... Hahaha! Thinking about all this, Lu Chengkong suddenly burst out laughing, he glared angrily, slapped the table, "What's the use of these people reading sage books?" What is the so-called matter of entering Beijing to catch the exam? It's not just to be an official and make a fortune, but it has to be used as a rhetoric for the country and the people! ”
"If you can't even protect the 'life of the people' and the 'land of the country', then what's the use of being an official in the court? Such an official, I don't care if Lu Chengkong is not right...... Imperial examination, grandpa, I won't take the exam! ”
Lu Chengkong stretched out his hand, picked up the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on the table, and thought to himself: "I have been reading this book for decades in this world. I came to this world by myself, I have already memorized this book backwards, coupled with broad insight and agile thinking, how can I not succeed? ”
Touching this cold book, Lu Chengkong's heart was getting warmer and warmer, "I am a descendant of Lu Sheng...... It is my mission to go to the battlefield and become a general. Perhaps, the clue back to the future is on the battlefield. As long as I complete my mission, I will definitely be able to go home! ”
"When the country is in trouble, the people are in trouble, and the men and sons must stand up. The choice I Lu Chengkong made today will not be wrong! The flame that had been suppressed for a long time in the depths of his heart burst out in such an instant!
Lu Chengkong resolutely stood up, picked up the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" and stuffed it into his arms, clenched his fists, and after expressing some inexplicable pride, Lu Chengkong thought of Zhong Liruo again, and most of the pride in his body was immediately discharged, frowned, and said to himself: "That...... If you can't get famous, how can you marry her? If I could go back, what would she do? ”
People often have two choices when it comes to major things.
One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
"Is it to go to Beijing to take the exam, or to go to the battlefield?" The more Lu Chengkong thought about it, the more he wavered.
He thought about it carefully, and when he entered the four doors to learn to read the sage books, he was forced! In the future, he was forced to take the college entrance examination, and in ancient times, he was forced to enter Beijing to take the exam, and there was no room for resistance.
But if you really go to Beijing to take the exam, can you get into the Jinshi?
Lu Chengkong understands that his advantage lies in his advanced vision, knowing what a democratic republic is, knowing what the separation of powers is, and knowing that there is no distinction between high and low professions. But all of this cannot be realized in the civilized society of the future, so why can it be expected to become a reality in an era of feudal imperial power? Besides, he was in Ying County and had never been to Chang'an at all. I don't know if this Chang'an is the Chang'an of the future world.
He knows in his heart that although he has been studying hard these days, and his opponent is the ancient "soil buns", these "soil buns" have only done one thing since they were born: full of "Zhihu also".
Whether it is a poem or a good way to govern the country, the ancients can easily come to it, what does Lu Chengkong compare with them?
Therefore, the probability of him being admitted to the Jinshi is zero.
Lu Chengkong subconsciously raised his hand and touched the book "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on his chest, all the clues pointed to the battlefield.
"Looks like I don't have to choose ......"
Although Lu Chengkong had made up his mind, he was extremely irritable about Zhong Liruo. He paced back and forth in the room, and he didn't know how many times he walked back and forth. Suddenly, he patted his head and said secretly: "Stupid...... I'm so stupid! If you make military merits and become a world-famous general, you will definitely be able to beat the champion of the gold list by a hundred times! How could he not marry Zhong Liruo? Just find a way to go back and bring her back to the future...... This is killing two birds with one stone! As soon as he thought of this, his mood became excited again, and while praising himself for being smart, he pulled his legs and ran towards Zhongli's mansion.
Time is pressing, and Lu Chengkong can't think much about what will happen next, he is being pushed forward by an irresistible force.
