When the Jade Emperor saw the Confucian scholar in a Confucian robe, he walked slowly and felt very uncomfortable: The Heavenly Palace is recruiting wise men, and they should also be immortal scholars, how can they summon a Confucian scholar? This person is mixed in with the sages, but it is not conspicuous, and now he is walking alone in the main hall, and he feels very dazzling.

"In Xia Jia Rudao, see my emperor billions of years old!" After Jia Rudao finished speaking, he knelt and bowed, bowed three times, bowed three times, bowed nine times, and kowtowed endlessly.

The Jade Emperor looked upset. Originally, there are many rituals in this heavenly palace, if it is the first time to make a pilgrimage, or there is a heavy dà activity, you must perform three prostrations and nine bows;

"Jia Jinshi, please get up!" said the Jade Emperor.

"People put etiquette first, and trees talk about roots and leaves as the source. Jia Rudao kowtowed to the last head, got up, and bowed to the Jade Emperor again, and then said: "Jia was born in Confucianism, and he must act in accordance with Confucian etiquette." Although His Majesty doesn't like this red tape, he can't afford to abolish the etiquette, Jia Mouyan can make the ministers laugh?"

"Jia Jinshi, since you are a Confucian student, why did you turn to the Immortal Dao?" the Jade Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty. Jia Rudao said: "I am in the mortal world, my body is skinned, and I am subject to my parents, so I should learn from Confucianism and filial piety." The lamb kneels to suckle, and the crow feeds back, how can a word of filial piety. As for self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country and leveling the world, it is something I think should be done. In middle age, Fang Wu arrived to help the world, and the poor were alone, so he learned the Tao and the law, and his life was not satisfactory in the world, and he could also spread the boat in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Oh, Jia Jinshi originally entered the Tao with Confucianism. "The Jade Emperor said. "I don't know if you're in the Nether, but you've ever developed it?"

"Back to my majesty, just because I am upright by nature, I refuse to follow the trend, go with the flow, and it is difficult to be tolerated by the world, so I also learned the Tao, relieved the common people, and did some trivial things, but I was heard by the upper realm, and I had a name on the recruitment list this time. ”

"Your Majesty, this person is a Confucianist since childhood, not a member of my immortal sect, how can he go to the Heavenly Palace?"

"Tianji Xingjun, you are wrong. Mr. Peng Da said: "The three religions are originally one family, and they all cultivate themselves first, and save the world for the people. Isn't Mr. Xiang Ge Zhichuan a model of the unity of Confucianism and Taoism? His old man left behind the inner and outer chapters of "Hug Puzi", one on governing the world, which talks about the law of Confucianism, and the other on the way of immortals, which is the art of my immortal family. It is still popular all over the world. This Jia Jinshi, Confucianism and Taoism can be unified, and he is a rare talent in the Three Realms today. ”

"Mr. Xie compliments!" Jia Rudao said with one palm.

"Peng Guoshi is reasonable!" the Jade Emperor said this, and suddenly said: "Since Jia Jinshi is proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, wait for me to read your article." ”

"The article is in the examiner's office. ”

"Your Majesty, I'll take their test papers with me. Mr. Peng Da took out a stack of test papers from behind him, found Jia Rudao's article, handed it to the palace official, and handed it to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor unfolded it and nodded: "Good article, good article, I think, although it can't surpass the work of the multi-eyed ghost king, it must be better than others." ”

"Your Majesty!" said Mr. Pengda. "That's true! I only found out about this man's work after re-reading the article. Therefore, he was specially added as a candidate for the Sanding Jia. ”

"Okay, Jia Jinshi go down to the palace. "The Jade Emperor said. He had no intention of interrogating carefully, and after noon, he still had to negotiate for the three tripod armor.

After Jia Rudao went down to the palace, the Jade Emperor said: "The official on duty, go to pass the decree quickly, and the nine jinshi outside the hall can go back to the Zhaoxian Pavilion." After speaking, he said to the civil and military ministers: "Everyone, Aiqing, this is also the first time I have held the Heavenly Court exam, if I am arbitrary, I am afraid that there will be mistakes." The nine candidates for Sanding A Jinshi have all completed their interviews. They have different talents, so who can be selected for the Sanding League?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, half of the nine people will be eliminated first, and then selected from these four or five, and it will be foolproof. Mr. Peng Da said.

"This is a good idea. "The Jade Emperor said. "According to me, Wang Sheng, Zhao Chang, and Du Ping are mediocre in talent and can only be ordinary officials. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. Mr. Peng Da said: "In addition to these three people, there are still six." Let's talk about it, and eliminate two more of them. ”

"Zheng Yu is stubborn and unbearable. "The Jade Emperor said.

"That Murong Qianshan, with low skills, was summoned by relying on his subordinates to talk big and brag ghosts, and I don't think this person can be summoned. "Heavenly Machine Star Monarch said.

"Well, Murong Aiqing has perseverance in doing things, but I just gave him three golden pills as a reward. As for the deeds, there are very few. This person is average, he can only be an ordinary immortal official, not a material for supervising the imperial history, I think it's okay. "The Jade Emperor said.

"Excluding Zheng Yu and Murong Qianshan, there are only four scholars left. "The Jade Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, these four are easy to choose. "Sir. "In my opinion, let's start with the flowers. ”

Peng Guoshi is right. "The Jade Emperor said. "Among the four jinshi, who is the Tanhualang?"

"Your Majesty, I look at Jia Confucianism and Taoism, proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, this person can be a Tanhualang. Mr. Peng Da said. A
