Early Morning of the Empire 49: Hundred Sons of Princes

On the central viewing platform, the three big men also saw Xiao Wu's performance, Gonggong Hai in the palace didn't say anything, the hussar general just had a cold face, and Qi Lao wipped his beard, shook his head with a smile, and looked at this lucky candidate.

Among the next few, there were also a few who wanted to imitate Xiao Wu's movements, but almost all of them were dumped by the Magnolia White Dragon Pony, and few of them succeeded.

Several of them held the reins with both hands and pinched the white dragon horse at the same time, after being thrown off by the white dragon horse, they were almost not trampled to death by the white dragon horse, even the soldiers of the northern legion, they all used their strength to fight with the remnants of the six countries, before they subdued and pulled the white dragon horse, after seeing this tragic ending, the remaining candidates directly gave up the practice of imitating Xiao Wu.

"There's no need, even if you can't pass the exam, you won't leave your life in the Qixia School Palace. ”

.........

The riding in the school field ended quickly, more than a dozen horses were carried out at the same time, plus some people gave up directly, and the exam results came out directly after a while.

"Zhang Linfeng waits!"

"Cao Yi is the first to wait!"

"Qin Shangxiu is first!"

"Yuan Miaomiao, wait!"

.........

"Wu Shishan second class!"

"Zhao An second class!"

"Feng Tingzhong Second Class!"

"Second class Wen Xiang!"

.........

"Zhao Xiang is third!"

.........

After the exam results came out, in addition to some nobles with profound backgrounds who were first-class, there were also a few good seedlings recommended by the military department, Xiao Wu's second-class was a little unexpected, according to Lin Xu's understanding of the situation on the scene, Xiao Wu's ability to pass this exam was all by luck, and his strength was not great.

Through this exam, the results of all the candidates are also highlighted, and all the candidates can enter the Qixia School Palace, they have already counted in their hearts, but the nature of human beings is cunning, and they are also lucky, and when the final answer does not come out, there are still some students who want to rub their luck in the last door.

Everyone knows that the last door of the Qixia School Palace is a test question made by Confucianism itself, and it accounts for a very large score, in case it is taken by the Confucian boss, wouldn't it be beautiful in my heart.

After the results of the riding royal came out, Qi Lao, who was sitting on the central viewing platform, stood up and said to everyone: "The exam has been going on for half a day, presumably the candidates are already very clear about their results, the last exam will be held in the afternoon, please seize the time." ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and left directly.

The shopkeeper urged Lin Xu: "Let's go, let's go, go find Xiao Wu, let's have a meal together." ”

"Okay, go find Xiao Wu!"

Lin Xu had the feeling of standing in other departments and others when he was in school, when class ended at noon.

............

"I said, Xiao Wu, you did well in the test today. ”

Lin Xu gulped the bear's paw in his hand, such as a family inn, there was still a long distance from Qixia School Palace, and the three of them naturally did not choose to go back, but had a meal at the nearest tavern.

"Well, the first two doors are okay, it's the third ......"

Xiao Wu's face was a little red when he spoke, and he was extremely embarrassed, obviously knowing that his riding exam was a mess.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Xiao Wu, you don't know, after you left, there were a few students who wanted to be like you, and the result was ......... Hahaha, laugh at me. ”

The shopkeeper first laughed at the old disrespect, this was not the first time Lin Xu had seen the shopkeeper in the Homeinn, it was like two people.

At this time, Lin Xu was immediately around, feeling a trace of murderous aura, thinking about it carefully, he also understood a little, it was noon meal time, in the vicinity of Qixia School Palace, most of the people who were eating now should be students who had just finished at noon, and the shopkeeper's words should have hurt some people's hearts.

"What are you talking about, bastard?"

A young man came to the front of the three of them, Lin Xu looked back at the man's dining table, there were several people sitting at the dining table, and one of them had a red and swollen face, if you looked closely, it was a vague horseshoe print.

"What's wrong? Don't let me say it yet!"

The shopkeeper also stood up and said that he usually has seen a lot of people who are well-educated, and he runs an inn by himself, how can he be considered a successful person, how can he be intimidated by two or three words.

"Old thing, you're looking for death!"

The young man was not accustomed to the arrogant look of the shopkeeper, and quickly punched the shopkeeper in the face, but the fist stopped half an inch away from the shopkeeper's face.

Lin Xu clenched the young man's fist and said lightly: "Return to your position, this matter is over." ”

"You!"

The young man still wanted to regain his strength, but his fists did not move at all, his face turned red directly, and he stood there with an embarrassed expression, neither advancing nor retreating.

"This matter, even if we didn't think it through, you go back, this meal is our invitation, make a friend." ”

Seeing the young man's expression, Lin Xu planned to give him a step down, Lin Xu also saw that there should be a large family on the table next to him, with the age of this young man, the student with horseshoe prints on his face was probably his younger brother or something.

"No, we can still afford a meal. ”

When the young man saw Lin Xu give himself a step, he lowered his arm and returned directly to his original position.

Seeing this, Lin Xu also sat down, and Xiao Wu said to Lin Xu with a look of admiration: "Mr. Lin, you are so amazing!"

"You, Brother Lin, are a master. ”

The shopkeeper also laughed, of course he knew Lin Xu's skills, and this was also the confidence he had just now.

Lin Xu said modestly: "Eat, eat." ”

After thinking about the performance just now, there is a degree of advance and retreat, but he is really not humble or arrogant, a man's true colors!

.........

The lunch meal can only be regarded as a small episode, and the afternoon exam is still going to be carried out, Lin Xu and the shopkeeper went back to the Qixia School Palace directly after the meal, but they didn't wait too long, and the last exam started immediately.

Lin Xu and the shopkeeper continued to return to the hall to wait, this time they didn't see the master, Lin Xu thought, he should go back, this attitude of game life, Lin Xu is also a little envious.

After waiting for a while, a student dressed in white walked out, but this time it was a woman, and she, Lin Xu also had a little impression of the girl who brought water to Brother Snot at that time.

Lin Xu was looking at it, the girl had a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars, I don't know what she thought, she smiled sweetly at everyone in the hall, her eyes were curved like a crescent moon, as if the spirit rhyme also overflowed.

Between a smile and a smile, the noble look is naturally revealed, and people have to marvel at her elegant and delicate light.

The woman wrote only one word on the large stone slab.

"Confucian!"

Then he bowed deeply to everyone and turned to leave. Not a word was said from beginning to end.

"Confucian, what does this mean?"

"When does Confucianism like to play these word games!"

"Confucianism, what are you doing this time!"

The hall resounded with the voices of many people.

Lin Xu frowned, looked at the words on it, and said softly, "Confucian?"

The first thing he thought of was the world, the people he saw in books.

.........

In the examination room, there are only a few gray-haired old professors in the room, and in the last subject, Confucianism has a lot of autonomy, and it can even be said that the final exam is completely Confucianism.

So these old guys who have half a foot in the coffin, ready to come out to breathe and preside over the most critical door, these old people, at this age, no longer care about the military department and the imperial court, and they have dedicated their lives to the Qixia School Palace and Confucianism, and there is no reason within the Qixia School Palace to refuse these old people's requests.

Behind several old professors, there were three hussar generals, Hai Gonggong, and Qi Lao.

The hussar general did not expect that the title of the last door was "Confucianism", as for the old men, the hussar generals did not have a trace of disgust, just because the hussar generals were also young and had received Confucian education, and this kind of character who gave up his life for Confucianism was worthy of respect in that industry.

A candidate walked in and looked nervously at several old people, but at the same time, he didn't expect the three giants to appear on the scene.

Ignoring the nervousness of the candidates, an old professor said directly: "What do you understand about Confucianism?" ”

"Confucianism! Teaching people to read and write is Confucianism, and teaching the way of the world is Confucianism, and Confucianism has left a precious ......... to the mainland."

Candidates find themselves in great shape and ready to speak at length.

An old professor interrupted the candidate: "Very good, next ......"

The examinee looked confused and said a little anxiously: "...... No, I'm still ......."

"I said it, next. ”

The old professor continued to interrupt the candidate's speech, and his eyes were closed, and he looked unfazed.

The examinee took a look at several old professors and found that the other old professors did not speak, and walked away on the spot.

The old professor who closed his eyes said to himself, "Talk about it." ”

"Good, next. ”

"You're good, next. ”

"Okay, it's okay, when you go out, just close the door. ”

To everyone's surprise, the last Confucian exam, the process was very simple, and it was also very fast, there were already not many people left, and half of it was over in a blink of an eye, and few people had never persevered under the old professor, and even the young man of the Cao family was directly interrupted and politely invited out by the professor.

At this time, Xiao Wu walked in, and a few candidates who came and went in a hurry cast an inexplicable shadow on the last exam.

"What do you think of Confucianism?"

It was still the old professor with his eyes closed, and he was still talking about the question just now, because the few students who came in just now could only talk at length, and the old professor's face was a little stiff.

Xiao Wu quoted the classic Confucian saying: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world." ”

Well, it's okay, answering in the words of a saint makes people have nothing to say, the old professor still has his eyes closed, but his face is a little gentle......

The professor still closed his eyes, but his tone was lighter: "What will Confucianism do in the future?"

Xiao Wu listened to the tone of the old professor and knew that this was the topic of the exam, there may be many people who didn't know this topic at all, and they had already been asked out, Xiao Wu didn't panic a little after hearing this question, because he already knew how to answer.

The answer in my heart was heard by myself once, when Lin Xu was drinking with Boss Li in the casino.

At that time, after Lin Xu was seriously injured, for some reason, Boss Li often came to the store, and the two talked about Confucianism when they were drinking.

Lin Xu was drunk, although he was hanging one arm, he still held the wine jug in the other hand, and said drunkly: "I don't know what Confucianism in your world looks like, but in my hometown, there has always been a sentence that I remember, and it has also become the norm for scholars." ”

Boss Li also half-climbed onto the wine table and asked Lin Xu, "Oh, what do you say about Brother Lin's hometown?"

Boss Li didn't pay attention to Lin Xu's words for a while, and probably thought that Lin Xu was just drunk.

Then Lin Xu tried his best to sit his body upright, and then said with a straight face: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Lin Xu was silent for a moment, and said to Boss Li: "How is it?" I have always felt that this sentence is quite emotional, and it is full of momentum and domineering. ”

It just so happened that Xiao Wu came over with a wine jug, and just heard this sentence, as for the other words, Mr. Lin was talking nonsense again, so it was okay not to listen.

Xiao Wu smiled slightly, and said to several old professors: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

When the old professor with his eyes closed heard Xiao Wu's words, he quickly opened his eyes and said Xiao Wu incredulously.

Even the old Qi behind the old professor slowly savored this passage.

"What do you think of the Hundred Schools of Thought?"

It was not the old professor who asked the question, but the old Qi who was sitting in the back.

Among the many complicated rules of Confucianism, Qi Lao's current intervention is undoubtedly impolite, but several old professors did not blame him, but looked at Xiao Wu with a serious face after Qi Lao said the problem.

"My opinion? In the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, the Hundred Schools of Thought used the mainland as a chess game and all living beings as chess pieces, and there were thrilling battles in the Romance, but I still want to say ...... The result of the hundred schools of thought now is that they deserve it!"

When Xiao Wu spoke, his mood seemed to fluctuate a little, and he remembered his home, where his father died in the war for the unification of the Seven Kingdoms.

For hundreds of years, although the continent was ruled by those great cultivators with extraordinary strength, it was better to say that it was ruled by the thoughts of the hundred schools of thought.

There are still a few cultivators in the hundred schools, and the most terrifying thing about the hundred schools of thought is not those cultivators, but the doctrines of the hundred schools, and the ideas represented by the hundred schools of thought.

Therefore, in the hundreds of years of history of the Warring States period, there will only be representatives of such and such a family, and there will be no heirs.

There has never been a successor to the hundred schools of thought, only a representative figure for a certain period of time.

"I'm sorry, it's my mood swings!"

Xiao Wu bowed apologetically, and then left the examination room, from the beginning of this exam, Xiao Wu was the first not to be taken away, but chose to walk out of the house by himself.
