Chapter 163: Death
(Ask for subscription, ask for automatic subscription!)
The opening of the list ended, a few families were happy and a few were sad, some people cried and some laughed.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Chen Tang was surrounded by a large group of scholars, all kinds of congratulations, and all kinds of intentions to get married......
Even the store has prepared a good gift.
For these, Chen Tang was calm and coping with it easily. That night, he stayed at the inn and did not go anywhere, for which he politely declined several gracious invitations. Tui said that he was excited and wanted to be quiet.
The next day, I went to the Tribute Courtyard again to receive my own copy of the famous book of Tanhua Gong, also known as the "Book of Letters", which was covered with a bright red seal of the Son of Heaven. In contrast, the famous book of Juzi does not have such a standard treatment.
When I received this book and looked at the big seal on it, the Chen Tang mud pill palace "buzzed" and tossed and moved.
It's caused by officialdom.
An official spirit, swaying and self-sufficient.
This is not a place to practice qi at the moment, Chen Tang hurriedly went back, arrived at the room, and then sat cross-legged and began to sense the world in his mind.
Soon, he entered the state of unity between heaven and man, and the form of his breath was fully revealed.
An official atmosphere, a few inches in size, with a yellow color, occupies the central position of the Mud Pill Palace quite domineeringly, as if an incense is inserted there.
Pure and firm.
On that copper seal before, Chen Tang had carefully come into contact with the official spirit. In contrast, the wisp of officialdom of the copper seal seems loose and erratic, and it cannot be compared with it at all.
"Good, good!"
Seeing that this official spirit was so strong, Chen Tang was happy in his heart, and hurriedly urged the qi of heaven and man to come to devour and fuse.
A small fish, shaking its head and waving its head, came to the front of the official spirit, swam around in a circle, and looked at it.
The official spirit is brilliant, and it has its own majesty, and it seems that it is not happy with the rotation of the spirit of heaven and man, and the momentum is vigorous, and it wants to drive away from the spirit of heaven and man.
Xiao Yu'er flicked his tail, suddenly opened his mouth, and swallowed this earthy yellow official qi in one bite. It's really crisp and neat, without hesitation.
The official spirit was swallowed, and he was not reconciled, and struggled......
If someone is here, they can see Chen Tang's face changing, and under such weather, there are sweat dripping from his forehead. It looks like it's going on a battle between heaven and man, and it's very hard.
After half an hour, his demeanor gradually stabilized and calmed down, breathing for a long time, exhaling and absorbing, faintly forming a certain rhythm, which was very wonderful.
In the Mud Pill Palace, the fish was a full circle of size, floating there, motionless, as if it was dormant. In addition to the size of the body, the scales on the surface of the body are exposed, which are detailed and tight, and appear quite realistic.
Obviously, after devouring that official qi, the form of heavenly and human qi has evolved a big step.
I don't know how long it took, but the fish opened its eyesโ
Chen Tang suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body was extremely comfortable, as if he had just eaten a legendary ginseng fruit, and he was a little fluttering.
Cool, so cool!
He was in a state of ecstasy, devouring this Jin non-commissioned officer's qi, which was equivalent to doing ten years of Zhou Tian homework.
For a whole decade, there is no ambiguity.
What kind of growth is that?
Chen Tang's current strength, if he is against a demon like Wutong, where do you still need to attack with a strategy?
He let out a long breath, and the excitement in his heart slowly subsided.
The benefits of this bureaucracy are undeniable, and it has brought about a huge leap forward. But it's basically a one-hammer deal, and it's hard to meet a second one.
In addition, Chen Tang wondered, has this official spirit been swallowed up, or has it been assimilated? In himself, if he becomes an official in the future, can he still cultivate official spirit?
Or, the qi of heaven and man is directly used as official qi?
There are a lot of things that still have to be explored.
The spirit of heaven and man is already transcendent, even if there is no official spirit, it doesn't matter. In the face of evil demons, the official spirit does have a certain deterrent effect, which can make the other party fearful, but that's all. If you really want to start, you can't resist it.
I think that in the past, Yan Zhihai and Fan Yuan were all official, but they encountered evil spirits, or died or were injured.
As the saying goes, "killing an official is a serious crime", however, under certain circumstances, there are not a few officials who have been killed.
With fame in hand and official morale, Chen Tang's mission to the north is considered to have been completed for most of the time, and next, he will rescue the bearded man.
This question is quite tricky.
First of all, there is no way to find someone, so the location of the first school is erratic, the world is big, where to find it?
If he found it, Chen Tang was not afraid and dared to go in and break in. At that time, the bearded man said that as long as Chen Tang was admitted to the Jinshi, there would be a chance and hope for rescue. But so far, it's not clear what exactly is going on.
Can the fame of Jinshi deter Yin Si? It's a bit unreasonable......
Chen Tang even wondered if the bearded man said this on purpose, in order to let Chen Tang take the exam attentively, and he must pass the exam.
In essence, this can be regarded as a kind of spur from the elders to the juniors, which is a white lie.
Helplessly, when the two met in front of the grave, it was only a short time, and the situation was not clear.
I don't understand, I can only give up for the time being, after a few days, after participating in the Qionglin banquet, I will leave the capital and go home, hoping that on the way, the bearded matter can be solved. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to delay.
Bearded, trapped in that strange tree, how long can he hold on?
The Qionglin Banquet is an advanced version of the Luming Banquet, and there is a chance to face the saint. The emperor spent almost his entire life in the Forbidden City and rarely left. Therefore, the face saint is an extremely rare honor in itself, and after seeing it, you can go outside and brag about it for a lifetime.
However, for these, Chen Tang has no feelings. He didn't have much awareness of the deep-rooted concept of class superiority and inferiority. Staying in the capital to participate in the Qionglin banquet was, for him, just a procedure to follow the customs of the locals and avoid trouble.
After participating in the Qionglin banquet, it is the usual parade of flowers in the capital.
Tang poems have clouds: The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.
What is described is the state of mind of the Jinshi parade through the market and receiving the attention of the public.
After these procedures, a group of jinshi began to leave Beijing and return to their hometowns, waiting for the appointment to be issued, and then going to the post of officials.
The whole process will take a year and a half. Those who have connections and backgrounds will be one step ahead of others and become officials first, and those who have no one to support them can only wait for more time. The first class jinshi and the first, the champion is ironclad will enter the Hanlin Academy when compiled, the starting point is higher than other jinshi, the congenital is a cut higher; Even if they can't become Beijing officials, their tenure will not drag on for too long.
With the opening of the list and the announcement of the results, a special person has already rushed to the major state capitals through the post station to convey and read out the good news.
It is because before the jinshi do not return home, the hometown basically knows the good news, and will be ready to welcome the scholars back to their hometown.
Ten years of cold windows no one asked, in one fell swoop became famous all over the world, nothing more than that.
In the days of waiting for the Qionglin banquet, Chen Tang lived in a simple house and pushed a lot of entertainment. As for the matter of catching his son-in-law under the list, because he visited flowers in high school, many families retreated because of the difficulties, and they did not dare to come to disturb rashly, which saved a lot of trivial matters.
There is a grapevine that most of the previous flower explorers chose horses for the palace, but it is a fallacy. In fact, seven or eight out of ten of the people who participated in the Son of Heaven test were married, and they had children and daughters. And that colt is a typical eater of royal soft rice, once you go to be, it means that you have no career, who is willing to do it?
The other scholars in the inn, who were admitted, were naturally happy every day, and all kinds of interpersonal interactions never stopped. While he was still in the capital, of course, he had to run all kinds of relationships and officials, and those who failed to make the list packed up their baggage, left gloomily, and went home for the New Year.
Chen Tang's behavior is quiet and different. But everyone has their own busyness, and no one cares about him. Even Fan Xuan and others have been missing.
Time flies, and soon it will be the day of the Qionglin banquet. But on the eve, a shocking news came out:
Today's saint, his body was unwell, and after taking another pill paid tribute by the national teacher, he suffered abdominal pain in the middle of the night, and the seven orifices were bleeding, and he died!
The emperor died, the sky collapsed, and the city was mourned, informing the world.
It is rumored that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was going to issue an edict to destroy the Buddha and attack the Shi family......
However, the emperor collapsed suddenly, and did not leave a testament, and the question of the east and west palaces as the new emperor's candidates, the contradictions that had accumulated for many years, broke out all of a sudden.
The battle of the court, the battle between the government and the opposition, there is no cover-up.
Under such circumstances, the Qionglin banquet was naturally canceled.
