Chapter 93: Ask your conscience, a great scholar

The stop at Shisha City was just an interlude. Ye Liangchen didn't stop there and continued his tour.

Three more years passed in the blink of an eye. During these three years, Ye Liangchen traveled to many places.

This time, Ye Liangchen came to Yuanzhou, where he was going to take the government examination and obtain the qualifications to be a civil servant.

Ye Liangchen's realm of Confucianism and Taoism has reached the peak of the fourth-grade gentleman. If he wants to gather his heart of literature and Taoism, he still has to take the last step, which is to ask his heart.

Ask what the heart says.

If you want to ask your mind, there is another rule that can be broken in the world of Confucianism and Taoism, which is to become a scholar.

At this point, someone may have asked.

What if the government cheats and keeps denying you a title, preventing you from becoming a candidate?

In this case, wouldn't it mean that the way to survive is cut off?

There is no need to worry at all. As long as you have the ability, you can ask questions on the spot during the exam.

As long as you pass the examination, the government will unconditionally recognize your status as an examiner and will give you a quota to participate in the Kyoto imperial examination.

However, such things happen too rarely, only one or two occur in an era.

If Ye Liangchen wants to gather his literary aspirations, he must take the government examination and win the title of Juren.

This is the fundamental reason why Ye Liangchen took part in the government examination.

Otherwise, Ye Liangchen would be too lazy to take this exam because his purpose is not to become an official.

The government test questions were very easy for Ye Liangchen, but Ye Liangchen didn't want to answer them, so he skipped the previous questions and came to the last question.

The last question can be said to be part of the exam, or it can be said not to be part of the exam.

The general content of the topic is, what should the court do to make the country stronger and stronger.

There is no limit to the content of the poems, students can express themselves freely and speak freely.

Why is this question considered part of the exam? It can also be said that it is not part of the exam.

The reason is simple. This question is a question of the heart.

Once it is written, it will resonate with the world and the earth, and it will directly transform into a scholar.

For this question, the ancients have already given the answer.

One proposed that the country should be prosperous and the people strong, and the other proposed that the people should be prosperous and the country strong.

These two proposers immediately aroused the resonance of heaven and earth and became famous in one fell swoop.

Finally, the two of them reached the semi-saint level.

Unfortunately, the two of them fell one step short of becoming saints.

Later students also dissected and answered based on these two ancestors.

Ye Liangchen is different. He doesn't want to follow the path of his ancestors, he wants to create a way out.

Only in this way can we be recognized by the will of Heaven in the world of Confucianism and Taoism.

Ye Liangchen picked up his pen and wrote:

A young man who is wise will make the country wise, a young man who is rich will make the country rich, a young man who is strong will make the country strong, young people...

Ye Liangchen wrote down the boy's story eloquently.

When Ye Liangchen stopped writing, the world of Confucianism and Taoism felt the will of heaven and gave Ye Liangchen another clue.

At this point, Ye Liangchen successfully inquired about his heart, condensed the strongest literary heart, and directly stepped into the ranks of first-class Confucian scholars.

As of now, Ye Liangchen's Confucianism and Taoism cultivation level is at the first-grade Confucian realm, and his cultivation level is Foundation Establishment Perfection.

With Ye Liangchen's current strength, he can definitely compete with the Half-Saint.

Under the saint, I am invincible, but above the saint, I am invincible.

Seeing with their own eyes that Ye Liangchen succeeded in asking questions and condensed a first-class literary heart, all the invigilators and students present were stunned.

Too strong, really too strong, Ye Liangchen deserves to be a saint.

Who in the past tens of millions of years has experienced a sixteen-year-old first-class scholar?

After everyone calmed down, regardless of the fact that they were taking exams, they all knelt down and worshiped Ye Liangchen:

"I have met Master Ye."

Yes, despite Ye Liangchen's young age, Ye Liangchen is truly a first-class scholar. It is not too much to call him Master Ye. There is a saying that goes well, a master is a teacher.

"You don't need any big gifts, please get up."

Ye Liangchen accepted their love and asked them to get up.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Liangchen said again: "I have disturbed all of you in your Qingkao exam. To express my apology, I would like to send you a message."

"Please teach Master Ye."

All students bowed.

"There is a road to the mountain of books and diligence is the path, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless and the boat is the boat. I hope that all students will work together and see you in the future."

After saying that, Ye Liangchen left the place and stopped disturbing their exams.

There are roads in the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work is the boat.

Both the students and the examiners had shock on their faces.

As expected of Master Ye, these words alone benefited them a lot.

It's worth it, it's totally worth it, even if I fail this time it's worth it.

From now on, he can brag in front of his friends that he and Ye Xingchen took the exam together, and Ye Liangchen even gave them a message on the spot.

Ye Liangchen is gone, but his legend has not stopped flowing.

Not long after, Ye Liangchen asked questions on the spot during the imperial examination, and the story of condensing the heart of a first-class scholar spread throughout the world.

According to legend, there is also a poem written by a young man written by Ye Liangchen, saying that there is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless and the boat is hard work.

Daigan Kyoto Imperial Palace.

When the emperor got the boy's story written by Ye Liangchen, he was filled with emotion and loneliness.

The emperor asked Prime Minister Guo Xiuyuan: "Have you found Ye Liangchen?"

Guo Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Found it."

The emperor quickly asked: "What did he say?"

Guo Xiuyuan said: "He refused. He said that his ambition was not in the court."

At this point, the entire study fell into silence.

The emperor wanted to directly recruit Ye Liangchen to serve as an official in the court. Ye Liangchen could choose any position above the third rank.

It's a pity that Ye Liangchen did not agree. This is why the emperor felt lonely.

Such a good talent, but unfortunately he doesn't want to serve as an official in the court, but the emperor can't do anything with Ye Liangchen.

"With the foresight of the prime minister, how far can Ye Liangchen go?"

The emperor was asking Guo Xiuyuan how far Ye Liangchen could grow.

Semi-saint or saint.

Everyone in the world is bragging that Ye Liangchen can definitely become a saint.

The emperor doesn't believe it. It's not that easy to become a saint. In the past tens of millions of years, only four people have become saints.

Some of the better ones, like Ye Xingchen, also stayed at the semi-saint level in the end and could never step out of this threshold.

Don't think that there is only one step between semi-saint and saint. In fact, this step is a world of difference.

As for semi-saint, the emperor believes that Ye Liangchen can achieve it.

"The probability of becoming a saint is 95%."

Guo Xiuyuan did not hide it and said what he thought.

95% probability?

The emperor frowned. He didn't expect Guo Xiuyuan to have such a high evaluation of Ye Liangchen.

The emperor didn't believe in other people's words, but he still believed in Guo Xiuyuan's words.

In other words, if there were no accidents, Ye Liangchen would definitely become a saint.

This was a bit difficult.

If Ye Liangchen was only a half-saint, the emperor wouldn't have to be afraid of him.

If you have to compare a half-saint with the emperor, the emperor is naturally superior.

If it was a saint, the two were not comparable at all. The words of a saint were like the words of heaven and earth. If he was told to do something bad to death, he would die.

Originally, the emperor wanted to try to control Ye Liangchen, but now after hearing what Guo Xiuyuan said, this idea immediately disappeared.

Forget it, forget it, this great god is not to be trifled with.
