Chapter 23 The apricot list is out of the list, and the lonely Huiyuan
"At the head of the scriptures, the last lotus seed of the White Lotus Bodhisattva has been born."
The Vulture Mountain in the Western Regions is a holy place for all Buddhism in the world, and it is also the dojo of the legendary Buddha who is the top master.
Day and night, there will be golden light shining on the top of Vulture Mountain, shining on the countless monks and people in the Buddha Kingdom. The sound of chanting has not stopped for a moment, and the eternal Buddhist rhyme has existed in this land of tens of millions for an unknown amount of time.
However, the Buddha who had an epiphany under the Bodhi tree, I don't know when he last preached, and he has not appeared in front of people for a long time.
Vulture Mountain states that the Buddha is contemplating great wisdom and retreating with great perseverance. As soon as the affairs were handed over, they were handed over to several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
At this time, in the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of the Eagle Mountain, the Arhat entered the Lingming Hall and reported the information obtained yesterday to the Great Wisdom Lingguang Bodhisattva sitting on the first seat.
The Great Wisdom Spiritual Light Bodhisattva is the first wisdom of the Buddha, and as the existence of the Buddha after the retreat to teach the scriptures to the believers of the Buddha country, it is called the sutra head.
At the same time, it also serves as the daily management of Lingshan Buddhism and enters the Lingming Palace.
As for the manifestation of the Arhats, they are under the Spiritual Light Bodhisattva, responsible for managing the internal and external information of the Buddha, and have the magical powers of divination and stargazing of warlocks.
"Looks like you're finally running out of time. Go and invite the Xuankong Arhat and the Splashing Vajra, and bring the monks to welcome the White Lotus Bodhisattva back to the Lingshan. ”
The light candle behind him kept flickering, and the smiling Bodhisattva pinched a lotus seed and looked at it, and then commanded the Arhat in front of him.
"Obey the law."
After receiving the reply from the Bodhisattva of Spiritual Light, the Arhat withdrew from the Hall of Spiritual Light.
The White Lotus Bodhisattva disappeared from the Spirit Mountain a thousand years ago?
Although the Arhats do not know the reason, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas attach great importance to retrieving the twelve lotus seeds incarnated by the Bodhisattva and allowing the White Lotus Bodhisattva to return.
It's just that although today, the twelve lotus seed incarnations of the White Lotus Bodhisattva have all appeared, but the Eagle Mountain has only nine of them. If you subtract this new one, there are still two that disappeared shortly after their appearance.
On both occasions, several bodhisattvas rarely committed the vows of resentment.
The Tongxian Arhat did not dare to slack off, and immediately notified the Xuankong Arhat and the Splashing Vajra, asking them to send the Great Liang tomorrow and bring back the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Lotus Seed.
In Chang'an at this moment, Chen Liu was preparing breakfast after returning home.
The soy milk fritters were bought from the street, and as for the dish of refined salt and white sugar, he had just experimented with it.
He originally thought about whether to make a lot of money with this kind of thing, but after thinking about it, if he sold salt and sugar privately, he might be able to make a lot of money, but the next moment the Criminal Department and Dali Temple would also knock on the door of his house.
I had to put this plan on hold for the time being and think about whether there was any way to do it.
Last night, he and Jiang Yuan returned home and slept very late.
Chen Liu woke up early, but Jiang Yuan was still asleep.
Maybe she hasn't slept like this since she was sold to Drunken Dream Building.
Every day in the drunken dream building, I got up early, was scolded by the old bustard, and then prepared to be selected by the rich master to go to bed, accompany the wine and laugh, from night to day.
They lifted their pants, patted their butts and walked away.
As for her, she has to get a few despised stinky money, and she can't get a piece of money in her own hands.
They had a long talk last night, probably because Chen Liu listened to Jiang Yuan and listened to her.
Although the back became extremely ambiguous, Jiang Yuan was also prepared to let him push him down, but Chen Liu adhered to the helpless ethics of the Jiupin Martial Artist, which could only make the lower body feel a little sad.
"Jiang Yuan, it's time to get up and eat."
The red morning sun shot into Jiang Yuan's room, and she had the freedom to get up lazily.
When she pushed open the door and came out, she saw Chen Liu wearing an apron and setting up breakfast, and felt a particularly different feeling.
The sun that didn't belong to her seemed to shine into her life.
Merely......
"Go wash up and ...... Then, change your clothes ......"
Originally, Chen Liu planned to call her to dinner, but I don't know if Jiang Yuan is too used to it, and Chen Liu didn't expect it.
She came out in a thin light veil.
The hazy red gauze elicited some reactions.
……
"It's early in the morning. How do you feel that your qi and blood are extraordinarily restless? Why do you still have nosebleeds? ”
Bai Jiu, who agreed to come to dinner together, looked at Chen Liu, who had a tissue in his nose, and was a little puzzled. How can there be blood rushing in the morning?
Chen Liu looked at him left and right, while Jiang Yuan lowered his head, a little shy, and ate silently.
"I think today is the day to get results?"
Chen Liu didn't plan to dwell on this matter, lest there be another person who felt that he couldn't do it.
He brought the topic to one of the most important things during this time, the results of the big exam.
Although he did not take the examination because he was trapped in the pole playing, he still had a great interest in this imperial examination.
"Hmm. It was supposed to take some time, but it is said that the cabinet has been arguing for a few days and has other matters to deal with. The crown prince ordered Wenyuan Pavilion and Guozijian to review the file day and night. Now the crown prince has got the list. If nothing else, the list should be released at noon today. ”
Bai Jiu ate breakfast that didn't cost money, and his heart was very comfortable.
Listening to Chen Liu's introduction, he also dipped some white seasoning.
Bai Jiu has eaten both salt and sugar, although he is not as proficient as Senior Sister Qi, but the things he eats are not comparable to ordinary people.
Although the relationship between Qin Tianjian and the royal family is delicate, the gifts offered by Fanbang will also be sent to Qin Tianjian in general.
Not to mention that Qin Tianjian himself had studied this way.
But such delicate salt and sugar have never been tasted on weekdays.
It's not a difference in taste, it's a difference in purity.
"This sugar?"
"I just made it, if you like it, you can bring some back."
Chen Liu felt very strange when he heard that the list was going to be released today.
Originally, there should have been more than 20 days from the start of the exam to the release of the list, but it was reduced to these days, which is really weird.
After listening to Bai Jiu's explanation, Chen Liu knew the reason.
The sugar and salt, Bai Jiu asked, and he casually agreed.
He has done a lot, and since it is obvious that the trade is not good, he can only give it as a gift.
"I don't know who this year's Huiyuan is?"
At the moment, in the Imperial City Cabinet.
Li Wan has been discussing with the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries for a few days.
The six ministries of households, officials, soldiers, criminals, rituals, and workers all have very substantive policy guidance in all areas under their jurisdiction.
Although not all of the strategies were recognized, and some of the words were even refuted by several ministers, on the whole, the words on these manuscripts were not taken lightly.
Under the auspices of the crown prince, all the chief officials planned to put these strategies into practice after making appropriate corrections.
"Prince, this is the list of people who will try to win the official presented by the Ministry of Rites."
After the hard work of the past few days, even the prince was a little lacking in energy, but his heart was extremely excited.
After all, during his time in charge of the country, if he can promote the revitalization of Daliang's national strength, the heavier the capital he really has to sit in that position.
Just now he dismissed the officials who had been tired for a few days, and even sent away the old man Shousuke, who had also gained spirit at the cabinet meeting.
Now when he heard that the official of the Ministry of Etiquette had sent the results of the big exam, although he was a little sleepy, he still asked him to hand over the fold.
The names on the list are generally not out of the prediction list handed over by the original Guozijian.
Although there are a few dark horses that stand out, there are not too many differences overall.
Li Wan only examined it slightly, and then planned to stamp the big seal and Zhu Approval and hand it down to the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to go through the procedures.
"Submit it."
"Whoa."
The official of the Ministry of Rites was about to go out with the fold, but was called back by Li Wan again.
After some hesitation, he said to the following:
"Outside the list, set up a sub-list to put Xiao Yuan's name up. His name is not included in the list of candidates, but he is allowed to enter the temple examination. ”
Li Wan asked the Ministry of Rites to post the poems in the answer sheet for students all over the world to enjoy.
As for the rest, wait a few days.
Although it is impossible to hide it permanently, we will talk about it after the girder has pushed forward these suitable parts.
……
The day when the list will be released is often the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom in the world, so the list of the test is also called the "apricot list".
At noon, although I don't know why the release of the results was so much earlier, the eagerness of the students did not make the slightest difference.
They were waiting in the lobby of the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites, and at the places where the posts were announced, and they were short of breath.
Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant.
Regardless of whether the family is a gentleman or an official eunuch, all of them are looking forward to standing out and getting ahead in the meeting examination and the subsequent palace examination.
The moment the list appeared, everyone's eyes were fixed on the official who made the list.
"Big Branch Release!"
The moment the list was posted, everyone rushed over, hoping to find their names from the list.
As a result, of course, some people are happy and some are worried, some people shout "I have won" and rush out of the crowd, some people hide their faces and cry, but they can only regret leaving the stage when they know the destiny of heaven.
Chen Liu, who passed silently behind the crowd, said that the excitement was theirs, and he had nothing.
He found that there were too many people, so he didn't want to go to the crowded crowd to see the list, and left silently.
The first place in the examination was a student named Liu Xun from Jiangnan, who was Chinese New Year's Eve.
Fifty young jinshi, as long as the palace test is performed normally, it will definitely be able to get good results. Jinshi can be said to be at your fingertips, something in your pocket.
Liu Xun is thirty years old, and he is obviously extremely knowledgeable, well-versed in the past and present, and a gifted existence.
But what everyone noticed was a name in the sub-list.
"Sub-list? When will there be one more and one more sub-list? Still with only one name? ”
"Xiao Yuan, this name is so familiar."
"Isn't that the Qingyang Xie Yuan who stirred up the city before? Didn't he not come? How is there still his name? ”
A poem by his was also appended to the list...... There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea......"
"This poem ......"
People who have never left are discussing this mysterious existence named Xiao Yuan.
Liu Xun, who was at the back of the crowd, originally saw that his name was high in Huiyuan, and planned to accept everyone's praise, pursuit and stom.
At this time, he was like an ordinary passerby, no one cared about him, and he was very lonely.
