Reading Tower.

The seven-storey pagoda is stacked layer by layer, solemn and generous, and the four views are like one.

In the hollow tower on the top floor, the statue of Wenqu Xingjun is carved, and the incense is curling.

This is the Great Liang Dynasty, the place where the examiner marks the papers.

Because it touched on the imperial examination that was related to the luck of the Great Liang, and Wenqu Xingjun was on top, he was secretly concerned.

And the number of candidates is also too large, all of them are outstanding in the township examination, and they are the best among the talents.

Therefore, every test paper must be treated with good students, and there can be no slack and favoritism.

All the test papers start from the first floor of the tower and work their way up to the top layers.

The first-level markers don't need to look too carefully, but look at them roughly and progress the test papers that are qualified for promotion.

They are mainly responsible for the big waves and sands, filtering out those test papers that look indiscriminate, and presenting the truly literary and insightful answer sheets to the markers above.

At the top of the seven-story pagoda, there is a peerless national warrior and the prime minister of the dynasty.

No matter what kind of volume, when it comes to them, it is already doomed, and when they enter the palace examination, they are all some great talents.

And what they are responsible for is only to give these proud sons who enter the palace examination, a ranking of the examination, evaluate the huiyuan of this realm, and enter the palace examination, and when they meet the emperor, they will also enter the main hall in their own order.

Therefore, whether you are eligible to enter the palace examination or not has to be assessed by the second-level examiner.

Although they have been screened layer by layer, there are not many test papers that come to them, and they are all the answer sheets of some talented people.

But this step, on the contrary, is the most responsible and controversial place.

Because they have to control the number of places to enter the temple examination and eliminate some "superfluous" examination papers.

Since ancient times, there is no first, maybe this examiner thinks that this paper is a good answer and wants to recommend it to enter the palace examination, but this paper, in the eyes of another examiner, may be shit.

After all, a talented person, in addition to having a deep literary foundation, must also have his own opinions, and his answers will also have his own personality.

For example, if people like Shang Ying and Wu Qi are asked to answer questions about social formation, their opinions will inevitably make many people of their generation feel that they are nonsense and bullshit.

After all, it is only a subjective marking, and it will not immediately get the correct name of the long river of history.

Insightful examiners will feel that the "law change theory" proposed by these two people seems to have some truth, and this candidate has ideas.

But in the eyes of the mediocre pedantic, or other civil servants with the same character, it is a pile of waste paper.

Therefore, at this level, there are a full five graders, who will discuss whether they can enter the palace examination from a fair perspective as much as possible according to each pile of answer sheets.

If there is a disagreement, it will be decided by voting, and five is an odd number, which means that there will be no tie in the number of votes.

And the test paper has already gone through the layers of screening below, even if the other two opponents think that the answer sheet is complete bullshit, there will inevitably be real talents, otherwise the paper will not come to this layer.

From here, in fact, it can also be seen that the Great Liang State attaches great importance to the imperial examination.

Not to mention that before each examiner enters the tower, he bathes and burns incense, and he also has to incense to the Wenqu Xingjun at the top of the tower, and recites the rules of grading, which is similar to the oath of later generations, saying that he will never do anything that goes against his heart and uses his power for personal gain, and will not let any Liang talent be dusted, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat in the future, and the sky will be disgusted.

This is a very heavy oath in a world where there are gods three feet above the head.

At the end of a debate, the examiners finally voted four to one to disqualify a stack of test papers.

was angrily reprimanded by four colleagues for being insightless, and Examiner Li, who came in to mess around, was very helpless and aggrieved.

I obviously think that the test papers are not bad, although they are not amazing talents, but they are also qualified to enter the palace examination, why are you different from what I think......

Sighing, Examiner Li comforted himself, maybe it is the candidates of this year, they are really too good, and two colleagues just now said that if they were placed in the previous session, they would have passed.

But in order to limit the number of people and give other more talented people a chance, they had to exclude the test papers.

Examiner Li didn't think much about it, and continued to pick up the next stack of test papers, answerer: Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye seems to be a little familiar, and I vaguely heard one of her colleagues mention it.

However, Examiner Li didn't think much about it, there are more famous wizards, and in the end, it depends on the quality of the answers.

On the first page, Examiner Li read it word by word, and this page of archaeological scriptures, this candidate named Mrs. Ye is completely correct, and there are no mistakes or omissions.

This is also rare, although it is the sixth layer of the tower, but there is no mistake at all, there is not even an ink group, and the handwriting is neat, and there are relatively few.

Turn the second page, test question: "There is a road to making money".

Examiner Li took a cursory look and felt that this candidate seemed to be a little insightful, but after a closer look, he became solemn.

After reading the whole article, Examiner Li was stunned for a long time, and let out a long breath, and actually gave him a feeling of reading a world-famous chapter.

This is something that can be written by a talented person and a talent in a remote area?

The theory of supply and demand, the hedgehog theory, the principle of equivalent exchange.

The three theories seem to be a bit gimmicky at first glance, but after carefully reading the analysis, it makes people suddenly enlighten, as if they have opened the door to a new world, and it is like discovering a new continent in the endless sea!

The finishing sentences in those texts are concise and meaningful, and if they come from the pen of a famous artist, they will inevitably become famous sentences through the ages!

Examiner Li is very sure of this.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The customer is the Buddha.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

Money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.

In just a few words, it perfectly expresses the way of doing business and teaching and educating people.

This is not to mention the test question of "There is a Way to Make Money", even if it is taken out separately and perfected, it is definitely enough to become a famous book!

Examiner Li restrained his thoughts, hurriedly flipped through the next few pages, and his eyes lit up again, and then he was immersed in it, and finally he was fascinated.

Examiner Li closed the test paper, he couldn't help himself for a long time, he even had some doubts about life, and this set of answer sheets refreshed his three views.

He even felt that the palace test should not be compared, the champion should be given directly to Mrs. Ye, and the six departments should not be busy, and let Mrs. Ye take charge directly, and the world will be leveled! k

Of course, this is just a thought that flashes at first glance under intoxication, and of course Examiner Li knows that just talking on paper, no matter how wonderful it is, it is impossible to be perfect in practice.

However, such a talent, although it is only a theory on paper, but as soon as this test paper comes out, who dares to say that he should be worthy of the champion?

In the answer, Mrs. Ye's understanding of immortals, Buddhas, and Taoism, her perception of life, and her cognition of social forms have really reached the pinnacle of human beings in the opinion of Examiner Li!

"Lao Li, what are you doing, let's take a look at this set of papers, we were arguing endlessly just now, and now the votes are two to two, you have been burying your head in reading the papers, and you have not quarreled with you, now come and take a look." There is an examiner.

Examiner Li came back to his senses at this time, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he looked at the four colleagues with strange faces, and said: "Ignore that set of papers for the time being, let's take a look at this set, I think let the countryman and the prime minister stop bothering, and directly set the champion...... Ah, it's Huiyuan, and then it will be presented directly to the emperor, and I will see the palace test......"

"Eh, eh!"

Examiner Zhao was a little uncomfortable, and interrupted: "It's almost over, the test paper just now, we all think that we can't enter the palace exam this time, you recommend it alone, this time it's even better, want to directly set the winner and champion?" Lao Li, your independent intention to review the question is too strong, and it is easy to be influenced by the outside world, and if you continue to talk about it, you will offend the countryman and the saint. ”

Examiner Li argued with reason this time, directly handed over the test paper, and said, "If you are not convinced, you will argue!" ”

The other four examiners, although they were a little unhappy, were also curious about what kind of test paper could make Lao Li lose his temper like this, and they came over one after another.

One look at the candidate's name: Mrs. Ye.

At this moment, the faces of the three examiners immediately changed.

The other, like Examiner Li, said in surprise: "Mrs. Ye, I have vaguely heard this name, well, the first page is perfect at first glance, there is no fallacy, not even an ink ball, but it is very rare." ”

Examiner Zhao, who scolded Lao Li just now, also read it from beginning to end, without asking other colleagues, and turned directly to the second page.

They are the same as Examiner Li, and at a cursory glance, it seems that this candidate has some insights of his own.

But when I calmed down and read it, I raised my head and looked at each other.

The atmosphere fell into a kind of subtlety, and the sixth-story pavilion, which was originally the most lively and contentious, became audible with a falling pin.

Examiner Li suddenly laughed loudly and said, "How about it, everyone, Ye Taizhicai, can you be worthy of Huiyuan?" That's not all, his understanding of immortals, Buddhas, and Taoism can be said to be unprecedented, and there is no one after! ”

Suddenly, an examiner said quietly: "Do you know who Mrs. Ye is?" ”

Examiner Li was stunned, at this time, shouldn't you sigh with me, Ye Taizhi is talented?

Why are they all so weird.

You can't refute me again, do you?

Can you still refute this?

Is this not worthy of entering the temple examination?

No kidding!

Examiner Li frowned and said, "Who is Mrs. Ye?" This is the Reading Tower, you won't be jealous, will you? If this can be brushed down, I will join you tomorrow! ”

The examiner sighed and said, "Alas, Mrs. Ye is a disciple of Lu Guoshi!" ”

Examiner Li's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? And this level...... No, what kind of expression do you have, is it possible that you have to do something against your will? ”

Examiner Li originally wanted to laugh out loud, saying that Lu Guoshi was a series of great talents, and they were all dragons among people, but halfway through the conversation, Lu Guoshi sounded, and he seemed to have been separated from the national teacher recently.

Of the five examiners present, three of them are from the first line of the national teacher, no, it should be said that there are four, and the remaining one is a newcomer to the court, and it seems that he has also received the pull of the national teacher faction.

As long as he wants to have a chance to be promoted in the future, he will definitely not dare to offend the national teacher.

As for himself, his uncle's teacher is one of the national scholars, so it is normal to act freely, and I don't want to get into the camp and form a party.

But these colleagues don't have this kind of backing, if they ......

Examiner Zhao stared at Lao Li and said: "Let's just say it bluntly, the apprentice of the national teacher, I bumped into us a few days ago, although I didn't say it explicitly, but I understand the meaning of the words, don't let Lu Guoshi's people pass, Lao Li, you look at it, we are frivolous, and we are helpless." ”

Another examiner sighed: "We don't have your backing, but your background is also a layer apart, Lao Li, your uncle, is always just a disciple of the countryman, not the countryman himself."

You vigorously recommended to us Mrs. Ye's test papers, and you have already followed your heart, but if you make a big fuss and have to present the test papers in front of the national scholar and the prime minister, you will inevitably offend the national teacher, your uncle, I don't think it will be able to protect you.

Alas, I don't say this to force you to hold you down, and I have done something that goes against my heart, and it is difficult for us to feel at ease, but I am at ease...... Compared with the black gauze hat, and even the head on the neck, what is it? ”

Examiner Li looked at his colleagues with different faces, but none of them were good, and he was at a loss.

What am I going to do?

What should I do?

……

At the same time, Ye Tai and Wangcai on the deck of the painting boat were also amazed at this time.

Wangcai: "Little Golden Man, do you guess how Lao Li chooses?" ”

Ye Tai sneered: "He doesn't have a choice, he can't choose, there is only one way to live, compared to him, I want to know how Wenqu Xingjun chooses, whether to sit back and ignore it, or do something good?" ”

Wangcai pouted and said: "There are gods three feet above their heads, they have also sworn an oath, and the identity at this moment is very important, will it have an impact in the future?" ”

Ye Taidao: "That's for sure, today's human race has a lot of luck gathered in the Yuewen Tower, the gods and Buddhas are concerned, there is bound to be cause and effect in doing so, the longevity of the yang is sharply reduced, the wife and children die early, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, they will come to the door, and there will be retribution after death." ”

Wangcai nodded and said, "I saw it, the trajectory of luck is like this, but didn't you say that the luck of the human race is very strong?" How does this matter? ”

Ye Tai smiled: "There are two reasons, one is that they are human races, even if they seek to usurp the throne, in fact, the way of heaven will not punish them, and some usurpers who succeed may be lucky."

But you let the other races move the emperor to try? Don't say that the ghosts who have the intention of murder, just forcibly breaking into the palace gate, will be forcibly suppressed to death by the majestic dragon qi.

Even if it is an immortal Buddha, if a person who has not obtained the Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit Position, if he kills the emperor for his own selfishness, the karma is enough to immediately wipe out the Golden Immortal Fruit Rank and die dead.

Even if it is Da Luo Jin Xian, if there is no background and atmosphere to offset it, it will end up a dismal end.

Moreover, the luck of the human race is actually more influential for those with higher fruit ranks, and saints and quasi-saints all need the human race to cultivate the dojo for them and present incense and wishing power.

If they do it, although there is a high probability that they will not die, they will no longer have the blessing of wish power in the future, and even the wish power they absorbed in the past will turn into karma.

The second reason is that they are not considered the masterminds, the source of the mastermind is Huai Huang Sanxian, and more karmic retribution is shared by the entire faction at the top of this matter.

People are originally human races, and karma comes slowly and slowly, although it is reported late, which is also one of the reasons why many monks, knowing that it is against justice, will fall into the devil's path.

As long as the realm breakthrough is fast enough and the accumulation is sufficient, the luck rewarded by the Heavenly Dao is enough to offset some small evil consequences, of course, it is only a small evil result. ”
