Chapter 132: The people are more important than the king
The Great Summer Spring Festival has been postponed this year because of some things, and if it weren't for the repeated publication of Haoran Academy and several great Confucians, I am afraid that this year's Spring Festival would be directly canceled.
However, even so, there are not many students who actually come to Beijing to take the exam.
Most of the people who came were also Shuming locals.
The reason why Lin Qianren knew these things was because of the Xia Jing beside Lin Tianshi in the game.
Early in the morning, Xia Jing came to the inn with an umbrella and found Lin Tianshi, and then he took Lin Tianshi all the way to the examination room, and then said these things to himself.
At this time, Lin Qianren saw that the time was almost up, so he planned to tell Xia Jing that he would give up the scientific examination and devote himself to doing things for him, however, without waiting for Lin Qianren to type, Xia Jing spoke again.
[Xia Jing: "In the spring of previous years, there must be a sea of people here, and thousands of students in Daxia all yearn for it, but this year there are only a few dozen people, sad and lamentable, Brother Mu, do you know why?" ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness, is this matter related to people's livelihood? ”】
Hearing this, Xia Jing shook his head.
[Xia Jing: "This has nothing to do with the people, it's just the greed of some people." ”】
Lin Qianqian squinted, Xia Jing's words were slightly meaningful, he seemed to know about the Heart Eater Demon Sect?
[Lin Tianshi: "I don't understand. ”】
[Xia Jing: "It's okay if you don't understand, let's go in.] ”】
The corners of Lin Qianren's mouth twitched, of course it is impossible to conduct scientific examinations, and it is impossible to conduct scientific examinations in this life!
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness, I have been thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days, asking myself what I am studying for, and then I found that I am just a layman, from beginning to end, just to be an official, which is really against the teachings of the saints, so I hope to settle down for some more time and figure out why I study and then take the exam." ”】
Xia Jing was a little surprised.
[Xia Jing: "You really don't plan to go in? ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "I'm not going.] ”】
Xia Jing looked at Lin Qianren seriously for a while, and then sighed.
[Xia Jing: "It's okay not to go, it's already a meaningless thing, follow me to the bar."] ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Mu Tianyuan is willing to get drunk with His Highness.] ”】
As the two spoke, they turned around and left the examination room to the nearest Tingfeng Pavilion.
In the attic room, the two of them can also see some scenes from the examination room.
At this time, the examination had already begun, and there were a few officers and soldiers patrolling around, which did not look like a normal scientific expedition at all.
[Xia Jing: "This year not only postponed the spring time, but in fact, the exam is only a test of strategy. ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Only ask about the strategy? ”】
[Xia Jing: "Yes, only the test is asked, and the exam questions have already been leaked, in the eyes of us and others, it is not a secret at all. ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the policy question for this year's policy test?] ”】
Xia Jing smiled slightly, revealing a melancholy expression.
[Xia Jing: "The people are important to the king, or the people are light. ”】
Does this need to be asked? Of course, the king is light and the people are important....
Lin Qianren suddenly realized something.
This is by no means just an ordinary exam, these dozens of students who have entered the exam may represent public opinion and are also a choice.
The great Confucians of Haoran Academy insisted on scientific research, could it be that they wanted to convey a belief to the emperor and let him stop?
At this time, Xia Jing looked at Lin Tianshi.
[Xia Jing: "Mu Tian, do you think it is the king who is light on the people, or the king who is important to the people?" ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "In front of His Highness, Mu Tian does not dare to discuss it. ”】
[Xia Jing: "Let's talk about it, it's okay, here, what you say can't be transmitted.] ”】
Lin Qianli thought for a moment, and then had a rough wording.
[Lin Tianshi: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat, without water, how will the boat exist?" But without a boat, water is also water. ”】
[Xia Jing: "Hahaha, such a rebellious word, you can actually say it from the mouth of a scholar like you who wants to be an official, if it is really known by the examiner, you are afraid that you will not be able to be an official for the rest of your life." ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness forgives your sins... It's Mu Tian's nonsense. ”】
Xia Jing shook his head slightly.
[Xia Jing: "It's okay, I'm similar to what you think, this exam question should naturally be the people's emphasis on the king's lightness, but I don't know if these students will write some false words and praise in order to cater to their intentions." ”】
Subsequently, Lin Qianren and Xia Jing chatted for a while, and Lin Qianren began to ask about his doubts at this time.
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness, I have seen a description called the Fading Realm in a miscellaneous book that writes about the way of cultivating immortals, I don't know what this means?" ”】
[Xia Jing: "Hey, have you even read these books? This fading realm is nothing else, but it is the meaning of the mortal spirit or physical body breaking through its own innate shackles and breaking through the original upper limit, this process is not simple, the average monk from the very beginning of the condensation of the Dao seed to build the foundation, and then to build the foundation to complete the spiritual or physical body to break through the shackles and become a fading mortal realm monk, the time required between this is often calculated according to Jiazi. ”】
Lin Qianqian had a realization in his heart when he heard this, in this way, he should be able to barely be regarded as a fading mortal realm now, but it was not the flesh that broke the shackles, but the bones in the body.
[Lin Tianshi: "Then Your Highness, what about above the Fading Realm? But is there still a realm? ”】
[Xia Jing: "Of course there is, above the mortal, that is, for the cultivation of the true realm, the true self of cultivation, the road of enlightenment, since then, it can be regarded as truly embarking on the road of immortals, the twelve golden captures of Great Xia are all the power of cultivating the true realm, any of them can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, not comparable to mortals, can be called human immortals." ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "The Twelve Golden Catchers are so powerful? ”】
Xia Jing smiled, drank a glass of wine, and continued to speak.
[Xia Jing: "On top of the twelve golden catches, there is another jade catch, that is the national capital of the Great Xia Kingdom!" She is really surviving the catastrophe, with the immortal position, the life span is not counted, with her, Daxia can be worry-free. ”】
Lin Qianren nodded slowly, it turned out that the immortals were going to cross the catastrophe, which was also in line with his fantasy of cultivating immortals, but he didn't know if the so-called catastrophe was directly struck by thunder, or like in Journey to the West, the three disasters were coming, and the heavens and men were decaying.
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness's words really make me feel emotional and yearning, I am afraid that it is difficult for mortals like me to come into contact with such an existence. ”】
[Xia Jing: "You scholars are not bad, although you can't prolong your life, but you can raise your own righteousness in your chest, punish evil and dispel evil, if you can reach a certain level, you can manifest it, like the dean of Haoran Academy, as a generation of Confucianism, he only needs to say casually, he can make the twelve gold capture empty means but unable to perform. ”】
Lin Qianqian blinked his eyes, feeling that this was a little incomprehensible.
What kind of means can you restrict others with a word? The art of speech?
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness, I heard a while ago that someone from the Heart Devouring Demon Sect wantonly slaughtered the people of Daxia, and the Holy Majesty ordered the three golden catchers to investigate, I don't know if it's true or not? ”】
Xia Jing obviously didn't expect Lin Tianshi to suddenly ask this question, he paused for a moment, and then poured himself another glass of wine and drank it directly.
[Xia Jing: "Why are you asking this? ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "My people in Great Xia were slaughtered by the people of the Demon Sect, and as a member of Great Xia, I am naturally extremely concerned. ”】
[Xia Jing: "Alas, this thing is true. ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Dare to ask Your Highness, which are the three golden arrests sent by His Majesty to investigate?" ”】
Xia Jing shook his head and poured a glass of wine in a bad mood.
[Xia Jing: "I don't know, don't ask about this, drink and drink, let's talk about some things, the top Qiuyue girl of the Teaching Workshop Division is my acquaintance, why don't I take you to rest today, their favorite thing about these girls is to read......."]
Lin Qianli looked at Xia Jing's smile and sighed in his heart.
No wonder others say that he is a gentleman, you are a prince who goes to the Jiaofang Division to have fun, isn't this a loss of face for the royal family?
[Lin Tianshi: "Your Highness, such things are insulting after all...."]
[Xia Jing: "People like you are just boring, aren't you tired of living with a board and a glance?" ”】
When drinking and chatting with Xia Jing, Lin Qianren was a little worried about Song Yao in the inn, so he planned to leave, but Xia Jing returned to the inn with him.
Coming to Song Yao's door, Lin Qianren manipulated Lin Tianshi to knock on the door, and after the two sides confirmed their identities through dialogue, Song Yao's head appeared from behind the door, and she saw Xia Jing beside Lin Tianshi at first sight, so the three words Lin Tianshi that she was about to blurt out were taken back by her.
[Song Yao: "Lin.... Mu Gongzi, did you finish the exam so quickly? ”】
[Lin Tianshi: "Well, the exam is over. ”】
Song Yao, who didn't know much about the scientific examination, thought that Lin Tianshi had really gone to the scientific examination, so he naturally believed it.
At this time, Xia Jing looked at Lin Tianshi.
[Xia Jing: "Brother Mu, now that you are my guest, I naturally can't treat you badly, you will go to live in my mansion in the east of the city in the future, it is more comfortable to come than to live in an inn, and it is easier for me to find you again." ”】
Lin Qianren was about to manipulate Lin Tianshi to answer, when a person suddenly appeared in the corridor and directly interrupted what Lin Qianren was about to say.
[Ruolan: "Mu Gongzi? Why didn't you go to the exam room? ”】
As soon as Ruolan said this, Song Yao's eyes widened, and Xia Jing's expression was stunned on the spot.
Lin Qianqian didn't expect him to be found by Ruolan, blinked his eyes, and he quickly thought of an excuse.
[Lin Tianshi: "Miss Ruolan, I have given up the scientific expedition and am now working for His Royal Highness Xia Jing. ”】
Ruolan was a little unacceptable and puzzled.
[Ruolan: "You obviously study so hard, why?" ”】
The corners of Lin Qianren's mouth twitched, can I tell you that I am here to brush up on skill points? Hesitating, Lin Qianren did not reply directly.
And in Xia Jing's opinion, this state was that Lin Tianshi was very embarrassed, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation.
[Xia Jing: "Miss Ruolan, everyone has their own ambitions, Brother Mu does not go to the scientific examination, it is also his own decision, even if you are the granddaughter of Dean Qu, you should not interfere with his choice." ”】
[Ruolan: "Xia Jing, don't speak, let him speak by himself!" ”】
Xia Jing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't continue to speak, but shook his head with a slightly unhappy face.
Lin Qianren's eyes looked left and right on Ruolan and Xia Jing, and then he thought of words.
[Lin Tianshi: "Miss Ruolan, it's just a matter of making the right choice at the right time. ”】
