Chapter 216, Datong
Nanyu, Jianye.
The large square in the center of the city, which was once the core of the Zhen family of the half-immortal family, was later state-owned by Nanyu when it broke through Jianye.
The people of the city heard that there was going to be a 'shopping street' here, but after so long, it was not open to the public until today.
In addition, today's scientific examination list, as well as the major events announced by Fang Rui, countless people flocked to gather.
However, when these people came here, they were surprised to find that there were some places in the square that were shrouded in fog and were covered.
……
An inn room facing the square.
Yu Yunlan was dressed in a moon-white dress, which set off the temperament on her body to be more spotless, cold as a fairy, standing in front of the window at this time, looking outside: "Today's events will definitely cause a sensation in the world." ”
"Yes, this will be a day that will be remembered by history." Li Cao, dressed in civilian clothes, stood side by side and sighed softly.
She didn't come forward because today was more involved in the underworld, it was Fang Rui's stage alone, and if she went, she would be covered by the other party's aura, so she simply watched from the sidelines.
"Where's my uncle, haven't you come yet?"
Next to her, Xin Xueer was on her tiptoes and also looked out.
……
Many ministers of the DPRK and China came in their private capacities.
In fact, the release of the scientific examination list is nothing to them, and what they really pay attention to is the major event that is about to be announced in Fang Rui's mouth.
"Xun Shoufu, what a coincidence!" Xiao Cheng said hello.
"It's a coincidence, Xiao Ge is here too."
Xun Bai asked: "I don't know if Elder Xiao Ge knows, what is what the Taishang is going to announce?" ”
"Xun Shoufu doesn't know, how can I know?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head.
Xun Bai was originally the first assistant, but he was involved by the Tang family a few days ago, on the other hand, he took the lead in taking refuge in Li Cao, and recently he has faintly gained the upper hand in the court dispute, and there is a great tendency to replace him.
For scholars like them, it is a temptation that is difficult to refuse to become the first assistant, display their political ambitions, and leave a name in history.
……
Guan Zhi, Lu Fei and other generals also arrived, but in comparison, there were not as many intrigues as Wenchen.
They came here more to see Fang Rui.
……
In addition, there are also the people of Zixiao Pavilion brought by Yu Yunlan, who also came, to witness Nanyu's first scientific expedition and want to know what Fang Rui said for the first time.
This is a necessary political sense of smell as an official.
……
On the square, many scholars also came, in groups of three or five, talking to each other, anxiously waiting for the release of the list.
Jiang Chen, Wang Chong, and Li Shiwen are among them.
"Why should Brother Wang be nervous? Before the question, Brother Wang had almost no mistakes, and he must be on the list, and he must be among the top three. ”
Jiang Chen joked: "If I win the top three, Brother Wang will invite me to dinner with Brother Li." ”
"yes!" Li Shiwen squeezed out a smile and said.
"Top three? But I can't think of it. ”
Wang Chong shook his head again and again.
Although he is confident that he has done well in the exam, he does not dare to underestimate the world.
Alas, compared to Brother Jiang and Brother Wang, I don't have the confidence to be on the list, I just hope to give more points for the simple questions in the back, so that I can be at the end of the list. ’
Li Shiwen secretly prayed, hoping for a miracle.
He knew that he did poorly, but he heard that many people did worse in the exam, and he also had a glimmer of hope that he was on the list.
……
More people came, but they were people joining in the fun, and at a glance from a high place, it was really a sea of people.
"The scientific examination list is released today, and look at those who are reading."
"If you want to talk about this subject exam, I will have two subject exam questions, and I will try it next time."
"Haha, Bai Laosan, you don't know two of the big characters, and you still want to be an official in the scientific examination? Dream on! ”
"Look over there, what's the fog covering?"
"Who knows, look at the excitement!"
……
In the midst of all the attention, Fang Rui finally appeared belatedly, and he didn't make any visions, appearing in front of people, and swaggering.
With his current position, he didn't need that.
"Now announce the results of the expedition!" Such a clear voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Is this our Taishang?"
"It turned out to be Taishang himself, this is his first public appearance, which shows the importance he attaches to scientific research."
"Look, it's out!"
……
Fang Rui waved his sleeves.
Swish!
A golden inscription emerged.
First place: Wuzhou Jianye Suning. (Portrait)
Second place: Yizhou Zhongchang, Wang Chong. (Portrait)
……
Thirty-sixth place: Tongbai, Jiang Chen. (Portrait)
……
One after another names emerged, along with the portraits, except for the first three golden, the followers were all silver, suspended in mid-air.
……
"Brother Wang, you are the role model, and I really got it right by me!"
Jiang Chen let out an exclamation, and suddenly, the people around him attracted attention.
"Congratulations, Brother Wang!" Li Shiwen suppressed the complicated taste in his heart, and he also congratulated him.
"Brother Jiang, look, you've been hit too!"
Wang Chong said, pointing to the latest figure.
"Haha, Tongxi, let's wait for Brother Li."
"Brother Li, you're probably in the back."
"Yes!"
Li Shiwen nodded slightly reservedly, Wang Chong and Jiang Chen were on the list in a row, which also gave him an illusion, it seems that the selection requirements for this scientific examination are not so high.
In particular, the further back you go, the stronger this expectation becomes.
However, until the list of 500 people appeared, Li Shiwen's name was not seen, obviously, Sun Shan's name was lost.
This embarrassed him, especially in the sound of 'oh, I'm hit' around him, which was called a social death.
Jiang Chen and Wang Chong were not easy to comfort, and when they said those words, they were even more like showing off.
……
"Young people are so energetic!"
Fang Rui looked at the many scholars below, either ecstatic, ashamed, or crying...... The reaction was mixed, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
In fact, he released the list for the scientific examination this time, just adding to the head, and the real thing to do has not yet begun.
"Silence!"
Fang Rui gave an order, making the audience quiet again, and bowed a little to a certain place.
Swish!
A cloud of mist dispersed, and in the same place, a huge black stone tablet appeared, thirty-three zhang high, sitting in the north and facing south.
The back is engraved with countless names, which are all the soldiers who died before and after the founding of Nanyu.
On the front, there is an inscription carved on it.
The soldiers who died in the Battle of the Three Southwest States are immortal!
The soldiers who died in the battle of the founding of the Nanyu are immortal!
The 189,654 soldiers who sacrificed before and after the founding of Nanyu are immortal!
This is the Heroic Soul Monument of Nanyu.
Just looking at it, there is a kind of heaviness that blows on the face, which makes people feel solemn.
……
Yu Yunlan and Li Cao had known about the Heroic Monument for a long time, but when they saw it at this time, they were still shocked and stood solemnly.
……
Guan Zhi, Lu Fei and others, all the generals who came today stood up with solemn expressions.
……
Xun Bai, Xiao Cheng, etc., the Wenchen who came today also closed their eyes and mourned, and the golden iron horse and the precarious years appeared in front of them.
……
Many readers, the joy of winning the list is praised, and the sadness of those who fall off the list is suppressed a little, and at this moment, they are all looking at the Heroic Monument in shock.
……
And the people who were originally joining in the excitement only felt as if something was pressed in their hearts, and some even began to sobble lowly.
"My son's name, I guess it's on it, right?"
"The country hasn't forgotten these people!"
"This is a good era, fighting for the country, the country remembers it, not to mention the fields that were divided before, and now there are often officials who come to visit!"
……
Fang Rui let these people vent, and after a full cup of tea, he regained his movements, stretched out his fingers a little, and another cloud of mist dissipated, revealing a temple.
"This is the City God Temple!"
His voice sounded in everyone's ears again: "There are great changes in the world, there are many treacherous disasters in the world, in order to protect the peace of the world, I will now open up the way of the incense fire gods and spirits, and stabilize the Quartet." ”
"From now on, with Jianye Center, we will radiate the construction of the City God Temple and the Land Temple...... The incense gods are in charge of the magic power of driving away evil spirits, asking for rain, fertilizing fields, and sending children, and the people sacrifice with incense, and the gods protect their health. ”
"The ministers of Nanyu, the generals who have meritorious deeds, and the civil servants who have political achievements, can be canonized after death and become Yin soldiers and civil servants...... The soldiers who sacrificed for the country before today are recorded in the meritorious records, and the descendants of their families are ......"
"Now, please God Chenghuang, start canonizing."
Sou!
A clone of the god appeared.
is not as ordinary as the deity, his whole god is like a brilliant sun, the breath of the incense god is overwhelming, and even, the super existence feels difficult to breathe.
This is naturally a special effect that the deity secretly attaches so that the doppelganger can collect faith.
"Huang Chao, you were one of the five tiger generals of Nanyu during your lifetime, and you made great meritorious contributions...... I now give you the title of Yin Soldier Battalion, command a battalion of Yin soldiers, and have 10,000 taels of silver power! ”
"Niu Zhuang, you are a Nanyu soldier and have meritorious deeds during your lifetime...... I will now give you the title of Yin Soldier, ten taels of divine power! ”
"Qi Jiang, you are an official of Nanyu, and you have meritorious deeds during your lifetime...... I now give you the title of a record keeper, and the divine power is worth three taels! ”
……
"No, I've seen the City God Master!"
The light on the bodies of the souls flashed, and their armor and official uniforms appeared, and their souls were condensed.
This scene was canonized, and it was Fang Rui himself, casting a spell to make these souls manifest in the day and appear in front of the world.
"Great goodness!"
The doppelganger of the City God bowed his head in satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves, and rolled up these subordinates into the City God Temple.
……
Such a scene completely stunned the civil and military ministers of Nanyu, and all the people present.
What did they hear? What do you see? When a person dies and becomes a soul, can he still live? Even, become an incense god?
This is the rhythm that is going to break the sky!
……
Xun Bai and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, so with their merits, they can also become incense gods after death?
That's a big bonus! What a blessing!
But instead, they just thought of more, such a welfare treatment, can only be enjoyed after retiring peacefully, if they break the law and get dismissed halfway, it will be all over.
It is foreseeable that Fang Rui will show the hand of 'sealing the gods on behalf of the heavens', which will greatly refresh Nanyu's official rule.
……
"Hey, the day before yesterday, the bearded yellow man was gone, I went to see him, but I didn't expect him to be dead, what kind of incense god did he become?"
Lu Fei said in a loud voice: "It's really good luck, I don't know what position I can get if I die in the future?" ”
"Brother Lu doesn't need to worry, the lord will definitely have some arrangements for us."
Guan Zhi stroked the beard.
That City God and Fang Rui had the same appearance, which obviously had a lot to do with it.
He worked for Fang Rui during his lifetime and continued to serve after his death, that is how he should be, if it were a different person, what would happen to him with such an arrogant character!
……
Those old ministers of Zixiao Pavilion thought about this, and they also bowed slightly.
They were naturally clear about the scourge of treachery, but they didn't expect there to be such a miraculous method.
……
The most surprising thing is Jiang Chen and Wang Chong, who are on the list.
Just passed the exam and became an official reserve, so I got this great opportunity, and I don't have to worry about what happens after death.
And those who fell into Sun Mountain were extremely disappointed one by one, but they immediately gritted their teeth secretly and determined to work the next scientific expedition.
It is conceivable that the competition in scientific research will become more and more fierce in the future.
……
As for those ordinary people, when they learned that it was so secretive, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and they couldn't think of anything too far.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen,"
Fang Rui opened his mouth and suppressed the discussion that had not yet sounded: "In Nanyu, I have seen veterans being oppressed and having no way to redress their grievances; I have also seen people who have not contributed half of the country and stole a lot of wealth; I also saw some officials corrupt and pervert the law, preying on the people. ”
At this, he paused.
In the past, I was not strong enough to do anything, but now, I can do what I really want to do without affecting my own interests. ’
Fang Rui thought secretly, bathed in the golden sunlight, raised his hands high, and said loudly: "I have a goal, so that our heroes will no longer shed blood and tears, so that they can be admired in their lives, and enjoy the incense in the world after death, and be mourned!" ”
Off the field, the family members of countless veterans had tears in their eyes, but they raised their heads proudly one by one and stopped straightening their chests.
Rao is generals such as Guan Zhi and Lu Fei also have red eyes.
……
"I have a goal to make Nanyu more fair, not absolute fairness, but relative fairness, to establish a national contribution system, whether you are an official, a farmer, a businessman, as long as you contribute to Nanyu, there will be corresponding rewards."
"According to personal contributions, they will be given matching treatment, and those who have contributed nothing to the country will no longer have the slightest super-national treatment!"
Like Li Shiwen, the old and the young subconsciously shrank their necks.
And in the eyes of more people, there is light, as if a flame is burning.
……
"I have a goal, to fight corruption, dig deep and pay close attention, and hold accountable indefinitely, even if they have become incense gods after death, they will not be mistaken, so that they will be stinking for 10,000 years in the scolding of the people!"
Off the field, most of the officials had a clear conscience, but a few officials were evasive.
And all the people clenched their fists excitedly and waved them upward.
……
"I have a goal, in the land of Nanyu, every Chinese can bathe in the light, can find their own position, the young have support, the old have something to rely on, learn to teach, and work to earn...... With our hands, we will create a truly our own Datong world! ”
This sound fell, and the audience exploded directly.
The people shouted long live, the massive luck rose, and the golden dragon of Nanyu Guoyun suddenly swelled in a circle, roaring to the sky, making the world change color.
