Chapter 22: The Great Master of the Holy Dao
Zhao Shining walked down from the throne quickly, grabbed Zhou Yi's arm when he passed in front of him, and the two came to the door of the main hall.
Hundreds of civil and military officials also flocked to the door under the leadership of Meng Hongye, Jiang Lifu and others.
"Shhh
The entire Luojing City was densely covered with thick purple-gold clouds, and the whirlpools formed by the rotation of the clouds were even more deeply purple. The purple-gold thunder and lightning flashed and roared continuously, and the rumbling thunder shook the entire Luojing City.
"Zhou Yi's Art of War", a peerless study, the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future!"
Suddenly, a loud sound sounded in the center of the cloud vortex, it was the sound of the Holy Dao!
"Your Majesty, look!" Wang Banban, who fell behind the crowd, exclaimed, Zhao Shining and the others hurriedly looked back, only to see that the manuscript on the table in the hall was windless and automatic. A purple light swirled in the air, and the handwriting on it was purple and gold, as if floating from the paper, flying around the entire hall.
At this moment, at the moment when everyone was paying attention to the situation in the hall and had no time to take care of it, a purple-gold pillar of holy power light fell from the sky, wrapping Zhou Yi in it.
These purple-gold holy powers, with great energy, continued to wash Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness sea, and the spiritual consciousness sea that had previously been like a lake and sea continued to expand until it was as vast as a real ocean.
Zhou Yi could feel that his touch seemed to be able to scan the entire Luojing City, and this touch was being emanated, and Meng Hongye and the others around him were the first to discover it. Several Holy Courtyard Masters looked back at Zhou Yi in amazement, and they could sense that this spiritual probing power had faintly carried the power of the Holy Dao, making them breathless!
"Great Grandmaster!" Lin Bo cried out in horror, which immediately alarmed Zhao Shining. The latter looked back at Zhou Yi beside him, also with a shocked face.
"Zhou Yi, a scholar of the Holy Dao, has learned from the past and the present, and the Art of War of Zhou Yi will always remember the Holy Dao, and he can be called a grandmaster! Zhou Yi, exempt from the Holy Dao assessment, and become a great grandmaster of the Holy Dao!" Before everyone could react, the purple light cluster had already dispersed, and the majestic voice in the whirlpool sounded again, instantly answering a trace of doubt in everyone's hearts!
Lin Bo and the other people in the military academy had a dead face, and no one expected that Zhou Yi's military book would be so shocking! He had just been exempted from the examination and promoted to a university sergeant more than ten days ago, and he had been promoted to a great grandmaster because of this military book!
Wicked!
Lin Bo now looked at Zhou Yi without a trace of resentment in his eyes, only deep fear!
"I've seen Grandmaster Zhou!" Under the leadership of Zhao Shining, the civil and military officials bowed down and saluted Zhou Yixing, who closed his eyes and was familiar with his spiritual power. This time, even a few people from the military academy saluted without resistance. Only Lin Bo stood there alone, his face pale, sweat stains on his sideburns.
"Huh!" Zhou Yi opened his eyes, and two purple-gold beams of light came out of his eyes, which were definitely different from the pale golden holy power of other great grandmasters, and also different from the golden holy power of the sage.
"It's... What kind of holy power is this, why is it different from the Great Grandmaster?"
Meng Hongye was also suspicious in his heart, and the holy power of this color was not recorded in the Academy of Literature. The Great Master is a pale golden holy power, the Sage is a golden holy power, and the Sage is a lilac holy power! What does this purple-gold holy power mean?
Could it be that the Holy Way thinks that Zhou Yi can become a saint!?
Frightened by this speculation in his heart, he hurriedly denied it in his heart! This is impossible! This Zhou Yi is just a great grandmaster, and he doesn't know when he will be able to break through before the sage! How can he talk about a saint!
But there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that Zhou Yi had gone from a white body to today's position as a great grandmaster for less than a year. If you talk about the position of a saint, it seems that it is not impossible!
If ordinary people want to break through to the Great Grandmaster, it took nearly thirty years for Xian Yu Wende to go from enlightenment to the Great Grandmaster, and the current sages are even more than 100 years old. But this week's righteousness really can't be measured with common sense!
"Your Majesty, you can't be like this! There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, how can you be so gifted!" Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to help Zhao Shining up, and said Zhengse. If you want to re-establish the religion of rituals, you must start from little by little now.
"Hehe, good, good!" he, who had never received the courtesy of a great grandmaster, stood up straight in a happy mood, and said hello with a smile on his face.
"Lin Shangshu, just now Grandmaster Zhou said that if this military book can be passed on, he will enter the court to teach the mastery to the officials! Now, do you have any objections?" Zhao Shining remembered Lin Bo's words just now, and suddenly became embarrassed!
"This ......" Lin Bo was speechless, this military book was recognized by the Holy Dao, and Zhou Yi was promoted to the great grandmaster because of this. If you say that this book is not as good as many military books in the military academy, let alone others, even these civil and military officials present will not agree.
"Boom ......" At this moment, lines of big characters began to appear in the clouds of the Holy Dao in the sky, which was the handwriting in the art of war written by Zhou Yi!
“...... Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers and seas. ...... "Those handwriting is like the handwriting of Zhou Yi's book magnified tens of thousands of times. Zhou Yi's handwriting is a group of people, and now the appearance of lines in the air reveals the charm of his calligraphy.
In Luojing City, the saints and great masters of the major holy academies stood outside the house one after another, looking up at the sky. In his eyes, a hint of appreciation and shock appeared. Zhou Yi's reputation, this time really shocked Luojing City, and also shocked the Imperial Holy Academy and the Imperial Shilin! Everyone heard with their own ears that Zhou Yi was exempted from the assessment and went straight to the position of the Great Grandmaster!
A generation of Sacred Dao giants has risen! In the future, the battle for this Sacred Dao will become more and more intense!
The Great Sage of the Military Academy also looked up at the sky silently, and for a long time, he said to the saints and great masters around him: "The Great Tribulation of the Military Academy is coming!"
After speaking, everyone's faces were heavy, and this military book shocked the present generation! At first glance, it was aimed at the military academy.
After the contents of the entire art of war appeared in the air one by one, the clouds gradually dispersed, and Zhao Shining led the civil and military officials back to the palace.
At this time, in the entire hall, the atmosphere was quite strange. What Zhao Shining said about Zhou Yi's entry into the court just now, everyone has no objection.
What kind of joke is a great master of the Holy Dao entering the court? This is something that has never been done before! All along, only scholars have entered the court as officials, and they are all extremely popular ministers. Now that the Great Grandmaster has taken the initiative to ask to enter the court, it is definitely impossible for the imperial court to refuse!
But now there is another question, how to arrange it?
Zhao Shining was also distressed, if he was appointed as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites as he did at the beginning, and he was below Jiang Lifu, it would definitely be inappropriate! How could there be a saying that the great grandmaster was below the university scholars! But where was there a suitable position arrangement in the court! Shangshu was already the pinnacle of the people, and all the Shangshu were the heads of the major holy academies, although the literary rank was lower than Zhou Yi, but the forces behind the people still represented the meaning of the sages!
Meng Hongye's face was also very ugly, he looked at Jiang Lifu who was bowing his head and contemplating, and his eyes were quite unkind.
In just a few months, Zhou Yi has grown from a young scholar to a great master who is still struggling to seek! In time, if he has any more achievements, then there is no doubt about the saint and the saint! At that time, will the Rite Academy still obey the instructions of the Academy!?
"Your Majesty, Minister Jiang Lifu is willing to resign from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and let the virtuous master of Zhou! With the position of the great master of Zhou Yi alone, no one in this court will dare to disobey in person. Seeing that His Majesty had a headache about how to arrange Zhou Yi's position, he stood up and took the initiative to resign and give way.
"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Jiang Shangshu said! Zhou Guogong entered the court as an official as a great grandmaster, and opened a precedent for the Holy Dao! If it is not a scholar's position, it cannot be matched, Zhou Guogong was born in the Rite Academy, and it is most suitable to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must maintain the relationship between the Academy of Literature and Zhou Yi now, and Meng Hongye is also an extraordinary person, so he immediately made a decision to support it.
"Seconded!" ......
Another burst of voices sounded, and everyone had not yet recovered from the shocking hearts just now, and when they saw the two heads of the court speak, they hurriedly seconded the proposal.
"Lin Shangshu, does Aiqing have any objections?" Seeing Lin Bo standing there stunned, Zhao Shining's heart suddenly swelled with a sense of excitement that his revenge had succeeded, and his words stimulated him again.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no objection! The minister thinks that only one position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the position of the prince of the state is not enough to reward the great master of Zhou for his loyalty to serve the imperial court! It is still necessary to add a higher title, such as the king!" Lin Bo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, seeing that the general trend cannot be disobeyed, he gave birth to a moth! He wanted to put forward the proposal of sealing the king, so that the royal family and the civil and military officials were suspicious of Zhou Yi.
Without waiting for Zhao Shining to come back to his senses, Zhou Yi immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, no! This is a proposal that will bring disaster to the country, and the empire must insist that no one can be crowned a king unless he has a national surname! A man is a national weapon, and he must not hastily divide the royal family! A person who is good at arguing about a king with a different surname can be punished!" After speaking, he looked at Lin Bo with a straight face and then said: "Lin Shangshu, what are your intentions!"
"Well, I'm just a good intention, if the Great Grandmaster doesn't accept it, he won't accept it, so why bother to hurt people!" Lin Bo didn't expect him to be so vigilant, and he just stood up and refused sharply.
"Hmph! Good intentions!? This matter will be put aside for the time being, and if there are such remarks in the future, don't blame me for the canonical punishment!" snorted coldly, and he gave Lin Bo a warning.
"Zhou Guogong is righteous! I have made up my mind, worship Zhou Guogong as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and give the title of Taifu! Do you have any objections to Aiqing?" Zhao Shining felt Zhou Yi's sincerity, no longer listened to Lin Bo's nonsense, and made a decision out loud.
"There is no objection to the ministers!" Where are the hundred officials who have other objections, the entry of the great master into the dynasty is a good news from the ancient times, and the sealing of the Taifu is also the proper meaning of the question.
This Taifu was one of the three princes of the court, and he was the emperor's teacher, in charge of the formulation and promulgation of the ritual law. This is a fictitious title, at the top of the people's ministers, and a super-grade official position, which has always been just a vacancy. Now Zhou Yi is given the title of Taifu by the Ministry of Etiquette, which is not a false title, he is a man of his word in terms of the imperial etiquette system!
"Your Majesty Xie Xià Longen! I will bow to my best and die!" Zhou Yi bowed and saluted, now he is a great master, there is no need to bow down again, and no one in the court can stand his bowing!
