I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 209

"Does the rumor say that everyone who joins the Taiyi Dao Palace can become an immortal, and the people are bewitched to cross the river north and go to Qin?" Li Qing said lightly.

Tian Boyuan was a little stunned, but His Majesty knew it, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed so."

There was a beating in my heart. His Majesty was the first to know about this kind of thing and he reported it at this moment.

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but fame and fame can't be forgotten! Where are the ancient and modern generals? The pile of grass in the barren mound is gone.
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver can't be forgotten! In the end, I only regret that there are not many gatherings, and when the time comes, my eyes will be closed.
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only a beautiful wife can't forget them! On your birthday, you will express your kindness, and on your death, you will go with others.
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only children and grandchildren can't forget them! There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, who has seen filial children and grandchildren?"

Li Qing didn't realize that the famous song from his previous life sounded, who doesn't have a heart of immortality, but who can abandon all kinds of things in the world of mortals, in the end it's just a handful of loess.

"good poetry"

Tian Boyuan couldn't help his eyes lit up. This poem can be said to be full of the three flavors of cultivating immortals. If becoming an immortal was so simple, the north would already be full of immortals, so how could they attract talents to the south.

It's a pity that the common people are ignorant and can't see through it after all.

Li Qing smiled lightly and said: "It's not that people in the world can't see through it, but they are all in case. I have already taken care of this matter, and the court will start soon. I have my own arrangements for this matter."

"Yes"

Tian Boyuan withdrew full of doubts, this is a major event, His Majesty is so lightly understated, I don't know what clever plan he has.

In the Zhuangyuan building in the city, Hong Wenmin also got up early and went to the third floor to drink tea. The front of the Zhuangyuan building is a restaurant and the back is an inn. There are three floors in front, and the higher the floor, the higher the consumption.

At this time, the third floor was full of exam candidates, and groups of three or four were exchanging information about the exam. Hong Wenmin and Zhou Xin were sitting among the crowd, also dressed as candidates.

Drinking morning tea, listening to the speakers upstairs talking about state affairs in different accents, soon a discussion at one of the tables caught their attention.

"Have you heard? There is a message circulating in the city recently, saying that as long as the Qin State in the north joins the Taoist Palace, it will grant the Immortal Cultivation Art, and everyone can become an immortal." A child said to his companion in a low voice.

The companion also looked yearning, and then said sadly: "The world has changed, and scholars no longer have the same status as before. It's okay for us in Ming Dynasty. I heard that Qin State has canceled the imperial examination, and plans to use Taoist Qi practitioners as officials."

The conversation between the two attracted many people to agree. Recently, the theory that reading is useless has become popular, and some scholars even gave up the imperial examination to practice Taoism. They were all saddened to hear the news.

"What's the use of reading so many sage books? Can you live forever?"

A scholar unconsciously raised his voice, which attracted many echoes. Not only Qin, but even many people in Ming Dynasty were proud to join the Taoist Palace, and scholars were less and less valued.

"Whoever said that reading is useless, if you don't read, you can't make sense, even those who have turned to the immortal way, all those who have achieved success in cultivation are not born as scholars."

Suddenly a scholar stood up and loudly refuted the theory that reading is useless. The scholars immediately fell silent when they saw the face of that man.

Hong Wenmin showed a smile on his face. Some of the scholars commented that his goal had already been achieved. Just wait for the situation to escalate. When all the scholars in Ming Dynasty admired the way of immortality, the foundation of the southern rule should also collapse.

Through observation, he found that there are mostly two kinds of people who still insist on imperial examinations. One is scholars who still adhere to the teachings of sages and sages, with the heart of self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world; People who do nothing else.

He was also a scholar, and the changes in the world made him feel sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and he couldn't help sighing: "You are a scholar who is useless."

Feeling the master's emotions, Zhou Xin said casually: "I don't know if the master has noticed, but there are only more than 30 students on the third floor, and among them, there are five people with golden luck or above."

Hong Wenmin responded: "What's the matter? There are scholars who are interested in the immortal way, and there are also scholars who are hostile to the immortal way. These people often read the books of sages and sages to their bones. In this changing situation, they naturally choose to participate in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty."

I thought to myself, this may be the last reflection of scholars, and when the Tao of Immortals and Gods grows stronger, there will be fewer and fewer such scholars, and then it will be the time when the lineage of sages and sages will be cut off.

Not to mention the round of scholars in the city, Li Qing in Chengqian Palace started his first early court after returning to Beijing.

The civil and military officials were divided into four rows according to civil and military affairs, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified. The news of the Jinyiwei has been passed on to all the officials. They know more information, and they will not be confused by the north. .

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Qing felt the atmosphere in the imperial court, ignored it, and asked, "This is the first imperial examination in Ming Dynasty, how are the yamen's preparations going?"
The imperial examination was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and He Yongan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, went out and reported back: "The Jinling Imperial Examination Center has been restored and improved. Officials such as inspections and inspections have been properly arranged, but the three positions of chief examiner, fellow examiner, and inspector are of great importance and still need to be appointed by His Majesty."

The National Talent Selection Ceremony is unusual. This is the first imperial examination in the new dynasty. Examiners and other positions must be cautious. If favoritism and fraud occur in the first imperial examination in the new dynasty, what is the face of the Ming Dynasty?

Li Qing thought about it for a long time, and said: "This is the first imperial examination in this dynasty, and the matter is of great importance. The chief examiner is Chen Qing, the chief assistant of the cabinet; ; Shi Hongyu, the commander of the imperial guards, was transferred to be the inspector."

"Ministry of obedience"

Chen Qing and other people who were named came forward to take orders one after another. Although this kind of official position is a temporary appointment, it has many benefits. All the candidates who are admitted regard them as mentors, not to mention the chief examiner of the first department in the new dynasty. Leave a name in history.

"Mr. Chen Ge should prepare the test questions as soon as possible and send them to me for review," Li Qing continued to instruct.

Chen Qing bowed and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty has any instructions for the exam questions?"
"No, everything is as before"

Li Qing said categorically that some people in the previous life wished to reform the imperial examinations after time travel to become an emperor, and even changed the content of the exams, adding subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, but now it seems that it is just a dream.

Leaving aside the fact that different worlds have different rules, the words of scholars all over the world are enough to drown those who advocate it.

Scholars all over the world have studied poetry and books for many years, and how can they change them easily? It would be strange if the changes did not cause chaos in the world.

Soon the morning court lasted until noon, and all civil and military officials saw that His Majesty had not yet dealt with the message of the northern spies walking, and they were all anxious, and finally secretly recommended He Yongan, Minister of Rites, to come out.

He Yongan had no choice but to go out again and said: "Recently, the puppet Qin in the north has wantonly fabricated rumors about cultivating immortals in the territory of Daming, and all scholars in the world will be affected. This matter is of great importance. Your majesty asks for a holy judgment."

"Isn't this matter already resolved?" Li Qing smiled mysteriously.

"This……"

The ministers were puzzled, they had been discussing the imperial examinations this morning, when did they talk about how to deal with leaving messages, His Majesty's way of dealing with it would not be to open the examinations to obtain scholars!

I was stunned for a moment, not sure what the idea must be.
