Chapter 32: The Western Regions Mission
In the early morning of the next day, the golden crow was restored, and Vientiane was renewed.
The results of yesterday's palace examination really got the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, although only the three words "I know" were written, but they also set off a monstrous wave like a deep-sea bomb.
Since the crown prince Li Wan was in charge of the country, there have been suspicions inside and outside the court that His Majesty the Emperor had an accident, but it seems that all this really comes from the will of Emperor Zhaowu.
There was even news in the palace that His Majesty had received Yu Hai Shoufu.
This also caused a lot of restless existence to sink back from the water.
Although Emperor Zhaowu himself did not have any martial arts, his existence was the greatest force to suppress the small gangsters of the Quartet.
After fifty years of dominating the territory of Daliang, no one dared to question the ability of His Majesty the Emperor.
All the voices questioning the crown prince Li Wan died down, and there was no follow-up for a while.
Although they are still suspicious of the emperor's state because the emperor has not returned to the government, or even appeared in the cabinet, they do not dare to be this upfront bird in a short time, so as not to really get into trouble.
The political situation is stable, and the court is harmonious, but it has not been seen for a long time.
Although the emperor's throne is still vacant above the main hall, the position of the crown prince's supervisor is very stable.
Li Wan nodded to the chief eunuch beside him.
When the chief eunuch saw the message, he solemnly asked for the Emperor's holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: Zhao Hejiang, a native of Xiangyang County, is now Bogu, has poems and books in his belly, and his strategy is exquisite, and I am designated as the champion of the undergraduate. Nie Feng of Qinghe County and Liu Xiangjun of Pengcheng were promoted to the eyes of today's science list, Tanhua, and Jinshi and first. According to the request of the Ministry of Rites, he was given the second-class jinshi background and the third-class jinshi background. Chin this! ”
A high-pitched voice, but every word has so much weight.
This is not a holy decree of many words, but it affects the fate of the two hundred and thirty-nine students and the family behind it.
All the students received the order of gratitude outside the hall.
The champions, Bangyan and Tanhua, Jinshi and the first three are eligible to enter the main hall and be personally received by the prince of the prison country.
They will also be directly appointed to participate in the compilation of the national code in the Hanlin Academy.
This may seem boring, and it is powerless, but it is a broad road to the cabinet.
Although the second and third class have officials, they may enter the sixth department to become the main thing, and only the first line may step into the center; Or directly exiled as an official, if you are lucky enough to return to Beijing, if you are unlucky, you can only be a soil emperor.
Of course, if one of them is a talented person, who can stand out after the subsequent re-examination, he can also enter the Hanlin Academy as a scholar, and there is a possibility that the latecomer will prevail.
"I hope that all of you will work together and move forward together for my future."
"I will live up to His Majesty's gifts and the expectations of His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Champion Lang thanksgiving, followed by Bangyan, Tanhua thanksgiving, followed by the second and third class thanks, the momentum is shocking, and the beam is not stopped.
Many court officials greeted the peace together and celebrated the Great Liang together!
However, people with a heart are not very happy.
Li Wan passed this palace test and brought a large number of talents into his faction. Even if someone has other thoughts, they must pinch their noses and admit that the crown prince is the master of their palace test in addition to His Majesty.
The Jinshi of this subject is not only a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but also a protégé of the Prince.
How can this situation give peace of mind to those who have a heart?
Unless they can get the favor of that Xiao Jieyuan......
……
"Didn't you say it's good to chop tofu? How do you want to cut down the waterfall! ”
Chen Liu complained a little, although he stood firm in the waterfall, this knife slashing the waterfall was really boring.
The main thing is that he doesn't know what the waterfall does.
Is it to see the splash?
"The knife you are chopping now is indeed just to see a little splash. What you have to do is to cut through the knife horizontally, keep the blade still, fight against the force of the water, and slash to the end. Then you'll need to cut the waterfall with a single sword! ”
"Uh-huh...... Well? Chopping? ”
It is already even more difficult to fight against the power of the waterfall, and to cut off the waterfall, is this to go against the rules of heaven and earth?
Chen Liu was a little skeptical, but he listened to Yuan Ping continue to explain:
"Originally, I asked you to chop tofu first and exercise finely. But now there is not enough time, so I can only teach you to use brute force. ”
Yuan Ping took the Pu knife from Chen Liu's hand and stood on the shore.
He put the knife to his waist, charged his strength, closed his eyes, used the internal force around his body, and then swung the knife out.
Pu Dao drew a horizontal sword qi in the air and went up to the wind, rising with the wind, and then the knife qi collided with the waterfall.
In an instant, the water sprayed, and the water surface exploded.
The continuous flow of waterfall water was directly cut off under this knife, and the sound of falling water was directly cut off for a while, until after a breath, the waterfall fell again, and the sound of collision restarted.
"Did you learn?"
Yuan Ping looked at Chen Liu, but saw him open his mouth into a circle, with a look of disbelief.
Although Chen Liu affirmed the existence of such a method, it was the first time he had seen it.
Bai Jiu's methods of these warlocks are too bells and whistles, and they don't show any real means, they are still martial arts, and they are genuine and enjoyable.
"Take your time. You have to do your best to cut this knife, otherwise I will have to eat your food in the future. ”
Since eating the delicious food brought by Jiang Yuan yesterday, not only Chen Liu, but Yuan Ping is also looking forward to her arrival every day.
Originally, Jiang Yuan also planned to build a thatched hut here to accompany Chen Liu.
However, Yuan Ping still blocked this decision after an ideological struggle.
"I need a reason."
"Are you sure the hut is for eating, not for you?"
“…… What foul language, the erection is not enough and conspiracy! ”
Yuan Ping's memories did not last long, and he threw the Pu knife back to Chen Liu.
He is not exaggerating.
Monitoring the monks from Vulture Mountain is not so simple.
Although the monks say that they do not kill, they do not really do not kill.
The Buddha also had to roar as a lion in order to eliminate demons and defend the way, which also provided a theoretical basis for later monks to practice martial arts.
Not to mention, Vulture Mountain has a special line of Dharma protectors, giving up the possibility of becoming a Buddha and removing obstacles for the future of Buddhism.
"An Arhat, a King Kong."
The Arhat of the third grade is not the functional scope of the silver rod, but the existence of the old gold rod that needs to be considered.
Even so, the King Kong of the fourth grade is no longer something that Yuan Ping can deal with by himself.
The assessment of his promotion to the Golden Pole was only to unite a few Silver Rods colleagues to monitor the general situation of the Western Regions Mission.
At the same time, when needed, he and his colleagues also had to delay this Dharma Protector Vajra.
None of them can necessarily ensure safety, let alone a nine-grade rookie martial artist.
Originally, under the seventh grade, there was no qualification to be promoted to copper rod at all, and he could only do some peripheral tasks.
Who knows, the above will directly let Chen Liu participate in this dangerous mission.
But he couldn't disobey, because it was an order from the commander.
Therefore, he could only choose this easiest sword technique to teach Chen Liu to give him a little chance of survival.
"What is this knife called?"
"All the same."
"Don't you dare to be a little more depressed!"
Chen Liu doesn't want to pay attention to Yuan Ping, sometimes he is very serious, and sometimes he loves to work hard.
He took the Pu knife, went into the water again, and began to practice under the waterfall.
Although Yuan Ping only swung a knife, Chen Liu already knew the main skills.
Although he has no way to cut off the waterfall like Yuan Ping at the moment, he can also follow the same example and stand in the waterfall.
"I must succeed in practice!"
"It's time to eat!"
"It's coming, it's coming."
Chen Liu, who was still full of ambition a moment ago, heard Jiang Yuan's voice in the distance, and directly threw away the Pu knife and climbed ashore.
Yuan Ping was speechless, but he also went with him to pick up Jiang Yuan and prepare to taste today's deliciousness.
……
"The Spiritual Light Bodhisattva's decree, another lotus seed of the White Lotus Bodhisattva was also reborn, and it is also in Chang'an. I hope that the Xuankong Arhat and the Splash Vajra can bring them back to Vulture Mountain together. ”
In the procession of prayer flags flying, a novice who came from the gods half-knelt on the ground and handed the golden decree in his hand to the Xuankong Arhat at the front of the procession.
After Xuankong saw it, he nodded and said to Shami:
"If you go back, this seat will try our best to bring back the Dharma body of the White Lotus Bodhisattva."
After listening to the answer of the Xuankong Arhat, the novice walked away again, and his feet were like lotus flowers, supporting him to leave quickly.
The journey from Vulture Mountain to Chang'an is actually very long, but it will not be so difficult for the Western Regions Mission, which has a third-grade master.
In a few days, they will arrive in Xijing, Daliang.
The purpose of their trip was to bring back the lotus seed body of the White Lotus Bodhisattva. It's just that at this time, it has changed from one to two.
"Could it be that person appeared in the capital?"
An unangry King Kong stood beside the Arhat, staring at the news from Vulture Mountain and falling into deep thought.
The White Lotus Bodhisattva's twelve lotus seed Dharma bodies, every time they were born, the Eagle Mountain got the news as soon as possible, and they also successfully obtained nine of them.
However, there were two mistakes, one of which I don't know for the reason to this day, but the other was because of another deviant Vulture Mountain's rebellion.
"Possibly."
The Xuankong Arhat was also silent, and his face was sad.
As a personal disciple of the Buddha, that person obtained the position of Arhat in his early years, and the position of Bodhisattva and even Buddha was also within his reach.
However, when the White Lotus Bodhisattva was reincarnated, he had a big fight with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who managed the Vulture Mountain. Later, when the tenth lotus seed was born, he directly took advantage of the Bodhisattva's unpreparedness, snatched the lotus seed, and escaped from the beam.
"Just this rebellion, you dare to steal Sanzang?!"
Splashing Vajra was very dissatisfied with the man's position as one of the three great Tibetan masters in the world, but his title was bestowed by the Buddha.
No one can deprive it except the Buddha.
"I'll talk about this later, no matter what, the main purpose of this trip is to recover the Dharma body of the White Lotus Bodhisattva. Nothing else matters. ”
"Hmm."
Then, the two stopped talking and walked forward silently.
The prayer flags are still flying in the sky, and the rhyme of the Buddha Gate is influencing everything around them. The sound of chanting did not stop for a moment, and marched towards the capital of Daliang.
