Chapter 286: What is the Right Path!
Ye Xuan couldn't understand the words of the Confucian demon in front of him. "The Holy Sect is the spokesman of the heavens? What is this emperor going to do to attack the Holy Sect, and what is wrong with the peace of the country and the people now. ”
The Confucian looked at the sky: "The heavenly machine must not be leaked." The temple examination is coming to an end. After speaking, the Confucian turned into green smoke and quietly left.
The white light of Hongrui's eyes jumped. "This person is not simple. ”
Ye Xuan looked at Hongrui curiously and rubbed his hands. "What's not easy?"
"The breath of this man is not like this world. Hongrui's expression was solemn.
At this moment, three heavy bells rang. An equally deep voice in the Imperial Palace shouted, "The exam is over!" ”
This collection was also collected by a few little eunuchs, and there was no opportunity for favoritism and fraud in front of everyone's eyes.
Soon, this test was over, and with the departure of all the scholars, the body of the Demon Emperor, who had been sitting for a long time, moved on the throne. Then he said: "The papers of this group of scholars have been reviewed by the widow himself. “
Hundreds of officials shouted "no" in unison. Although this volume was personally approved by the emperor, hundreds of years after the founding of the country, there were only several times, and it was generally approved by the cabinet. But now the emperor wants to review it in person, which is also in line with the etiquette law. Naturally, no one dared to say a word.
In the 800 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a set of strict systems has long been formed, and any violation of the system, even if the emperor does it, there will be upright ministers, who will speak up and admonish, and even give direct advice to death, to fulfill the reputation of their loyal ministers. As for the question of the system, the officials and the emperor were trapped in it. However, it is also the existence of the system that has made the Great Zhou Empire survive the most difficult years in the past 800 years, even if it encounters a young emperor, according to the system.
And this system, too, is optimized every ten years. In 800 years, many things will change, including people's hearts and minds.
The emperor personally read the papers, which marked a signal for the hundred officials. This is especially true of the topic of "innovation". Baiguan also muttered in his heart. Among the hundred officials, there are still many conservatives. No one is willing to take a certain risk and go crazy with the emperor, and these officials have a lot of networks, so naturally they have already received some rumors. For what the Demon Emperor wants to do in the future, the hundred officials are not very optimistic, this time they also know that the emperor wants to read the papers himself and promote those "talents" who have won his heart to help him reform, but for these scholars who have never been in contact with high and profound politics, the hundred officials do not approve of it in their hearts.
However, this group of officials also has a wait-and-see attitude towards the future situation, and if they fail, they will also blame the scholars who have won the emperor's heart, and if they succeed, this group of officials can also rely on their own connections to seek the greatest benefits from it. No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal. Thinking of this, the eyes of this group of officials looking at this group of scholars became more and more cordial.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this happy scene in the Emperor's Palace can be regarded as the appearance of an enlightened and prosperous world. Not the slightest change was noticed.
Eventually, the heavy clouds began to rain, and the filament-like rain fell with the breeze. With a little coolness, with the end of this test, all the masters who originally entered the palace to watch saw that the weather was not good, and they all left one after another, and the dragoons who surrounded the dragon patrol in the sky also turned a blind eye as if they didn't see it. But the harem land is still heavily prohibited. The occasional collision was naturally expelled without violent conflict.
"Shall we go down to find Shen Lang? or go directly to the emperor?" Hongrui asked as she looked at Ye Xuan.
"Find Shen Lang. Ye Xuan said. It seems too abrupt to find the Demon Emperor directly, and it is more convenient to find Shen Lang.
"Then how do we find it?" Hongrui asked the question in her heart.
Ye Xuan was also stunned. "That's it, let's go directly to the Demon Emperor. "That's the last thing I can't do.
"Go now?" Hongrui said.
Ye Xuan shook his head, "Observe and observe first, and wait for the evening." He wanted to see what kind of person this demon emperor was, and he was also thinking about a question, why did he have to bring out the elite soldiers in the desert, as for Zhao Acha's amazing strength for her, Ye Xuan had never worried about her safety.
Ye Xuan's only thought was just to use the 100,000 soldiers of the Demon Emperor to Kunlun to open a passage to Donghua Continent for him, he was homesick and hadn't gone back for a long time. But now he felt that it was not so comfortable to toss himself so hard for this matter. He noticed one thing, he seemed to be getting more and more confused, and everything he was doing didn't seem to be necessary. It's just a matter of being entrusted by someone. But he also felt a kind of constraint, but if this constraint was contrary to the right path of the world, he would not do it categorically. And what is the right way in the world, Ye Xuan is also a little confused. But he could vaguely guess that what the Demon Emperor was going to do next was a bloody event. And large-scale bloodshed will inevitably violate the morality of the world, so he is also an accomplice!
Many people are lost in this prosperous world, doing a lot of things that violate morality for the so-called "future" and "money", but if human society wants to continue to develop steadily, there must be "morality". But the first thing is to "live". At all times, the first priority is survival. Only survival is above all else!
Ye Xuan admired those Qing officials who sacrificed their lives for righteousness,
"Take a look. Ye Xuan said. "Wait until these hundred officials retire from the court, and stay until the dead of night, and then we will visit. And during this time, just take a good look. What kind of person is this Demon Emperor? ”
Hongrui looked at Ye Xuan, and there was obvious doubt in her eyebrows. "Really?"
Ye Xuan nodded very confidently. "Yes. At least you can see if this demon emperor is a serious person. ”
Hongrui nodded. "Okay, but now our priority is to shelter from the rain!" she frowned, obviously not liking the feeling of rain falling on her.
Ye Xuanzi also nodded, and then under His Royal Highness the Emperor, he casually found a spacious eaves to shelter from the rain. Because it was raining, many people in this palace took shelter from the rain, and it seemed very cold in this palace. There are few adults in the house, and Ye Xuan can also foresee that the scene in this palace will become very cold at night.
"This deep palace is like a cage, how many people's hearts have been locked up throughout the ages. Ye Xuan looked at the palace hazy in the drizzle and suddenly sighed.
Hongrui was still at a loss, she didn't understand why Ye Xuan's exclamation was saying this. Because she came out of the mountains and rivers society map, she didn't touch any books at all. The thoughts that are deeply ingrained in my heart are still in that distant and ancient era.
"Nothing can lock a heart that yearns for freedom, unless that creature loses its desire to keep forging ahead. But without an enterprising heart, the whole life will be bleak. Hongrui said.
