Chapter 257: Mind Clearing
Reading personality and things to learn, self-cultivation and family, governing the country and leveling the world, is a golden avenue referred to by the sage. When he was young, he was able to read, learn from things, and when he was a child in the examination, he was given a "Haoran body", which can be described as self-cultivation.
Later, he was able to show talents, and he got the "pure heart and holy sound", persuaded the good with words, and governed the family and neighbors, which can be described as a family. and then raise people to "call for wind and rain", mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, and benefit one party, which is the way to govern the country.
And the magic power obtained by the Jinshi is called "the mind is through the gods". With this magical power, you can restrain ghosts and gods, and summon Yellow Turban Warriors, Land, and City Gods to help you with different grades and spiritual powers. It can be used not only to understand the situation, govern the place, but also to attack the battle array, which is the ability to level the world.
With the improvement of this magical power itself, the ghosts and gods that can be summoned will be more abundant, and when it is used, it can be said to be the ultimate magical power for readers. If a white-bodied Confucian or a cultivator can be recognized by heaven and earth, he may also be able to cultivate this magical power, but because he has no grade of blessing, he is not as handy as Jinshi when he uses it.
Ye Xingyuan is looking forward to this magic power for a long time, this is the only way for scholars to fight, if someone provokes, as long as he understates it, "Where is the Yellow Turban Lux?" Don't blush and move your hands and feet thickly, so that you can look luxurious.
Everyone in the palace did not dare to make a mistake, and sat in order. Waiting for Emperor Longping and hundreds of officials to arrive, the new jinshi kowtowed under the leadership of Ye Xingyuan, and the mountain shouted long live. Emperor Longping seemed to be in a very good mood today, and in addition to the usual few clichés, he also encouraged everyone a few extra words.
Clear-eyed people understand that Emperor Longping is happy for Ye Xingyuan, although the five cabinet ministers behind him are silent, but the emperor is happy, they are not happy, Ye Xingyuan can obviously feel it.
Yan Bingzhang, a scholar of Huagai Temple, Xi Mingsheng, a scholar of Jinshen Temple, Zhang Yu, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, and Ouyang Pu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University. Shen Xiao, a scholar of Dongge University, has all the five assistants in the cabinet today, which can be regarded as a recognition of the new scholars.
The three main examiners Yan Bingzhang, Xi Mingsheng, and Shen Xiao have all met each other, and the other two pavilion elders Ye Xingyuan have also seen it for the first time, and they secretly took a few more looks.
I heard that Zhang Yugang, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, is not upright, but he is the first upright person in the court. This person is iron-faced and selfless, incorruptible as water, and has successively served as the Hanlin, Yushitai, Jingzhao Prefect, Criminal Department, and Ministry of Rites, and was promoted into the cabinet six years ago. He has no emperor's heart. It is also very difficult to get along with his colleagues, but because he is highly respected in the world and self-cultivation, no one likes him, and no one can touch him.
In comparison, Ouyang Pu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, is another extreme, it is said that this person is a famous good gentleman, no matter who comes to him to discuss anything, after all, he will smile and say, "Okay." Good". The emperor is ridiculous, he does not advise, his colleagues do not fight for power, slip and do not leave his hands, and he is very popular in the court. But it is also often ridiculed by "wall grass".
Ye Xingyuan looked at the five old gentlemen who were the heads of the civil officials of this dynasty, and recalled in his heart the evaluation and nicknames of the public opinion on them, and they corresponded one by one, and he also felt very interesting.
Yan Bingzhang is called "Sleepy Prime Minister". Xi Mingsheng was short-tempered and easy to change color during disputes, and was named "red-faced man". Zhang Yu and Ouyang Pu have an "iron-faced imperial history", a "Mr. Gourd", and Shen Xiao, a "household dog", almost painted them in a picture.
These five pavilion elders with their own characteristics control the government, and after you sang and I appeared, they performed one big drama after another in this dynasty.
Although the dynasty is shy about party strife, there are also many people who tell jokes about dividing the party in private. Because of Ye Xingyuan's background, he can barely be divided into the "Chu Party", and with his relationship with Guiyang County and Hanjiang Mansion Shilin, it seems that he should serve Zhang Yumen more.
But because this scholar is too upright, not only is he unwilling to promote the backwards, but his people often have to be pressed, and if he doesn't turn two or three somersaults in the officialdom, he may have a chance to become a late bloomer.
Xi Mingsheng is a Fujian person, the people here are fierce, and the fellow villagers in the officialdom are willing to hold together, and they can hardly be splashed with water. If they can be taken care of by this second assistant, they will not worry about it in the future, but their core must be fellow villagers after all, even if Ye Xingyuan pays the name to enter, at most it will be the periphery.
Shen Xiao belongs to the "Zhejiang Party", and his qualifications are relatively shallow, but their party is quite powerful in Yushitai, and they belong to the-stirring stick in the imperial court. The work is that they must oppose what Yan Shoufu is in favor of, and they must approve of what Yan Shoufu opposes.
There is a lack of real leaders on this frontline, and there is no definite governance program, which Ye Xingyuan does not take.
In addition to Ouyang Pu, who is on the left and right, the five members of the cabinet are divided into four parties. Among them, of course, the largest force is the Jiangnan Shilin led by Yan Bingzhang, known as the "Qing Party", who formed the core by association, academies, etc., and almost controlled the entire Confucian public opinion.
If Ye Xingyuan travels to study in Jiangnan and is admitted to the five major academies to study, he will be appreciated by his predecessors, and he may be able to catch this line, but he is really a little reluctant to seek the near and far.
In addition to these four parties, there are also "eunuch parties" and "imperial parties", which are also a force in the DPRK. Ye Xingyuan didn't want to take refuge in the eunuchs, and there was no other way to go, so he resolutely gave up this clear stream route, preferring to cooperate with the three elders of Dinghu Province and take the route of the "imperial party" of the ministers.
While Ye Xingyuan was pondering, the ceremonies such as giving wine and arranging flowers at the beginning of the Qionglin banquet had been completed, and the emperor and the five scholars only stayed for a while, and left after drinking half a glass of wine, leaving only Gonggong An to read out the holy decree of giving supernatural powers.
Gonggong An is a rare serious book, holding the holy decree and walking in front of the Jinshi, and said in a sharp voice: "The edict said, the first class of the Yimao family is given to the Jinshi and the third person, the champion is returned to the Yang Ye Xingyuan, the list is open to the eyes of Changzhou Wenhumility, the flower is Yushan Yang Bo, the second class is given to the Jinshi from 21 people, and the third class is given to the same Jinshi from 54 people.
There are a total of seventy-eight people, who have the opportunity to be saints and enjoy supernatural powers. All give the method of 'mind and mind', and we must make good use of it to share the worries of the country. Those who act in vain and rebel against the teachings of the saints will be punished by heaven. Chin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that a huge skylight seemed to open on the roof of the palace, and a blazing red light poured in, enveloping all the new science and technology scholars. Ye Xingyuan only felt warm all over his body, as if something was about to penetrate through the pores.
Ye Xingyuan knew that this was a miracle, so he let go of his body and mind, slowly breathed in, and slowly merged into his understanding. The red light around him was the thickest, Wen Xuhuai and Yang Bo were slightly second, the second-class people were second, and the third-class Tongjinshi was even second.
Although there is a difference in quantity, there is no difference in quality, not to mention that the time for divine power is limited, it still depends on how much I can absorb in order to get as many benefits as possible.
Ye Xingyuan is full of spiritual power, and with the help of the sword spirit, he can be distracted for two purposes, while comprehending the mysteries of supernatural powers, he still has leisure to look at the situation of others.
The number of Jinshi admitted in this course is relatively small compared to previous years, although it has not been carefully studied, but Ye Xingyuan estimates that it should be close to the least number of Jinshi admitted in this dynasty.
On the one hand, because the examination questions of this examination are difficult, on the other hand, the imperial court also has the pain of "redundant officials", and this time Kaienke is a common practice and has no choice but to accept more new scholars. After more than 100 years of peace, the officialdom has been overcrowded, the court is bloated, and it is only more and more difficult to become a jinshi in the future.
Ye Xingyuan was glad that he had already taken this step, and he didn't have to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and he only felt relieved in his heart.
Among them, it was very difficult for the fellow Jinshi to comprehend the supernatural powers, and many people sat cross-legged, closing their eyes and thinking hard. Their own understanding of the heavenly machine is slightly inferior, and it will be more difficult to master the corresponding supernatural powers, even if they get the supernatural powers this time, they don't know how long it will take to hone them if they want to use them smoothly.
The performance of the second-class new jinshi is much better, especially Chen Jian and Ye Xingyuan, calmly absorbing the red light that envelops his body, and he can also take care of glaring at Ye Xingyuan, which shows that he can also use his heart for two purposes. The name of the genius of Guiyang County is also well deserved, Ye Xingyuan seems to be stronger than Wen Xuhuai and Yang Bo.
In about a stick of incense, Ye Xingyuan realized that he had supernatural powers, and he consciously became harmonious, and between the rotation of his mind, he should be able to restrain the ghosts and gods. At this time, the light gradually dissipated, and everyone led by Wen Xuhuai was stunned.
Wen Xuhuai was the first to speak, "I knew that it was not easy to control the ghosts and gods, but I didn't expect the words of the Book of Heaven to be so difficult, I only barely remembered more than ten spells. In the future, I have to study hard and practice hard, as my father said, I am afraid that it will take half a year before I can use it freely. ”
Yang Bo seemed to be relieved when he heard him speak, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Wen, you can't master this method, and I also said that I am the only one who is not angry." I don't think half a year is enough, but if I can summon a wrestler within a year, I can be considered to have achieved the Fa. ”
Many people smiled bitterly: "I was sweating just now, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to master this magical power, and I didn't want to be like Sandingjia, so we can rest assured, it's a big deal to go back and practice for three years." ”
The method of mind channeling the gods has very high requirements for one's own spiritual power and the mastery of the heavenly machine, and normally speaking, it takes a few months to hone the supernatural power before it can be used smoothly, and it takes a few years of effort.
Ye Xingyuan heard that everyone was unsuccessful, and felt that he shouldn't pretend to be forced, and was about to be modest, but he heard a proud voice beside him, "I am a first-class jinshi and how much ability I have, it turns out that it is nothing more than that, and look at my ability!"
Chen Jian flashed out from behind everyone, holding the magic trick in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Yellow Turban Lux, if you don't show up yet, when will you stay?"
I saw a light in the back of his head, and a white line pierced the sky, and a giant with a height of more than one foot burst out of the white line, with a yellow scarf on his head and his upper body exposed, which was the wrestler ghost god of heaven!
Ye Xingyuan was amazed, he didn't think that Chen Jian's talent and spiritual power surpassed Wen Xuhuai and Yang Bo, and there must be something inside here.
Chen Jian laughed, and suddenly pointed at Ye Xingyuan and said: "I don't expect that Yuanlang will definitely not be left behind, Brother Ye Xian, don't hide it, let me play a trick with you!"
With a slight wave of the sleeves of his robe, he issued an order to the Yellow Turban Lux behind him, "Go and pick up the champion and circle the main hall for three weeks!" (To be continued.) )
