The literary test continues, with the fifth and sixth tests ending one after another. The sixth test of the literary test has come to an end, and the date for the announcement of the results of the literary test is set on the 15th of the month when the Xiayuan Conference is held.
The day after the results of the literary test are announced is the opening of the martial arts test.
The only thing left for candidates of the Literary Examination is to wait. The results will be announced in three days. All they can do in these three days is to wait.
However, the Xiayuan Conference has been held too many times and has already extended many cultural connotations.
Three days after the end of the literary test, the candidates for the literary test will meet for dinner in groups of twos and threes. The top 100 candidates will be led by the current favorites to have a banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building. Each student can bring his/her own exam papers.
Experience the wonderful benefits that practicing literature and art brings to them.
Wei Yi, as one of the top 100 candidates, was naturally invited, and the leader of the Xiayuan Conference was Wei Xu and Wei Changming, the legitimate second son of Marquis Wu of Wei.
A man of the Zhou Dynasty reached the age of 16. Although Wei Yi had already reached the age of 18, no elders have given him a name, so he is still named Yi.
For Wu Sheng, it doesn't matter whether there are words or not, they don't care about such things. But when it comes to Wei Yi, who is a scholar, it means a lot.
Being wordless means having no father, no mother, and no upbringing. A scholar who is above the crown has no words, which means that the scholar has not been recognized by any of his elders. This is a very serious matter in the literary world that attaches great importance to etiquette.
Wei Yi is naturally recognized by his elders, but the elders who choose literary and moral characters are particular about it. If Wei Yi is a fatherless person, then any elder who is higher than Wei Yi or older than him can choose it for him.
Character.
But Wei Yi is different. His biological father is Wei Wuhou, who is a famous Confucian scholar. There is a far gap between his literary and moral cultivation and the realm of a Confucian scholar, but generally speaking, as long as his literary and moral achievements are sufficient, he can be called a Confucian scholar.
If you want to give the son of Wei Wuhou a nickname, even if he is just a collateral descendant of a concubine, if you want to give him a nickname, he must be equal to Wei Wuhou.
There are many elders who recognize Wei Yi, but unfortunately, Wei Wuhou's status is too high. He can be called the first person under the Sixth Division to be a great scholar. He is also one of the few people who has not reached the Sixth Division to be called a great Confucian.
For such a marquis who vaguely has the reputation of being the number one person in the Six Divisions of Wen Dao, there is only one person Wei Yi comes into contact with who can name him.
But Wei Yi was very self-aware and did not expect that person to give him the name.
The two are neither relatives nor friends. Even though he possesses heavenly spiritual roots, this is just a talent. His eyesight may only have some potential. I want that person to choose words for him...
What are you thinking about?
In the Zhuangyuan Pavilion, Wei Yi smiled helplessly. His cultivation of immortality had improved so quickly recently that his current state of mind was a little wandering.
How could he have the delusion to ask that person to pick the words for him?
However, despite thinking about it, Wei Yi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Perhaps, my article on the sixth trial "Conclusion" might attract that person's attention.
Wei Yi knew that the article of intention would cause huge waves among the Zhusheng lineage sweeping the world.
He originally intended to keep a low profile, but there are things that gentlemen do and things they don't do. Every time he saw these literati of the Zhu Sage lineage talking about Zhu Sage but acting wantonly, they were like common people.
When he saw the words praising Zhu Sheng's words and intentions all around him.
When he thought of those scholars who studied hard late at night, but were forced to give up their literary education because they did not want to join the Tiandi Literary Palace.
He fell silent.
It is true that he and these literati sang the praises of Zhu Sheng's merits, even if he can obtain fame, it can help Chunyu live a better life.
But is this really what he wants?
Reading...when did it become about making yourself a master?
Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
Are these four lines of holy words that have been passed down through the ages for the sake of future scholars becoming masters?
No, it's not.
The function of literature and Taoism is to cultivate one's character, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
Cultivate the body of a gentleman, build a harmonious home, live in a country of peace and order, and make the world peaceful for all generations.
Studying is not to become a superior person, but to become a superior person... There is no one!
Wei Yi was tired, tired of the current literary world shrouded in haze.
He wanted to do something, even if his own power was minimal, he still wanted to do something.
Someone has to do it and speak out. Why can't that person be Wei Yi?
Fame...
Oh.
A trace of madness flashed in Wei Yi's eyes.
From the moment he wrote the article that overturned Zhu Sheng's intention, he had already embarked on a path that could not be reconciled with Zhu Sheng's lineage.
The battle of ideas will never end!
Peace Garden.
Lin Ran's fairy soul quietly looked at the examination paper in front of Su Yu, ignoring Su Yu's dark face as if in mourning.
"Unity of Knowledge and Action"
Four large and elegant characters appear on the paper, penetrating through the back of the paper. Seeing the words is like seeing a person. Just one glance will make the image of a young man full of literary talents emerge in people's minds.
However, compared to the words, the content of the article is undoubtedly more important.
The sixth test of the literary test is about intention.
Zhu Sheng's intention was to preserve heavenly principles and eliminate human desires, and there was no new idea after that. All the ideas of later generations were based on Zhu Sheng's intention. They were nothing more than an in-depth interpretation of Zhu Sheng's intention, and a better understanding of Zhu Sheng's intention.
In the final analysis, it is impossible to break through the framework of Zhu Sheng's intention.
But this article by Wei Yi is different.
"What is the unity of knowledge and action?"
"To analyze the cause and effect of things rationally is to know, and to deal with problems calmly is to act."
"The unity of knowledge and action, the focus is on knowledge and action..."
"Know and act, act and know."
"The mind is as clear as a mirror, reflecting everything as it comes."
"Unity of knowledge and action, investigation of things leads to knowledge."
The eloquent hundreds of words present a completely different idea from Zhu Sheng's idea, and it can even be said to completely deny Zhu Sheng's idea of "preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires".
More than 70% of the world's literati are from the lineage of Zhu Sheng, and Wei Yi's article can be said to have fundamentally denied Zhu Sheng and shaken Zhu Sheng's thoughts.
Once this test paper spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar!
Su Yu, as the examiner and a rare seventh-level scholar in Zhu Sheng's lineage, looked at the examination paper in his hand and felt the urge to tear it up.
But he didn't dare.
Each examination paper has the seal of King Qin, and any damage will be noticed immediately.
The King of Qin had a good relationship with Tiandiwen Palace, but he was determined not to favor Tiandiwen Palace in important matters such as the Xiayuan Conference.
This exam paper must not be torn up!
Su Yu looked at the examination paper in her hand, her face uncertain.
Suddenly, Su Yu seemed to have thought of something, and her literary energy surged, and she wrote a document in the air and shot it out.
"Does practice make true knowledge?" Lin Ran in Prince Tianwu's palace "read" Wei Yi's article and chuckled.
Unexpectedly, the first real dragon he discovered in this deep world of the human world would be a concubine of the Marquis Mansion.
"Unity of knowledge and action, investigation of things leads to knowledge."
Lin Ran's figure quietly disappeared into the palace.
…
Zhuangyuan Building.
Wei Yi turned his attention to his nominal second brother, Wei Xu and Wei Changming, the legitimate second son of Wei Wuhou Mansion.
He was taking the lead in this banquet, but Wei Yi never thought that beside Wei Xu, there would be an old man in commoner clothes with white hair.
The great scholar Yan Anguo!
He was also a great scholar who had good relations with Marquis Wu of Wei.
"Wei Yi." He wanted to keep a low profile, but he never thought that his brother would call his name.
In an instant, the students and family members at the banquet all looked at Wei Yi.
They were no strangers to this concubine from the House of Marquis Wu of Wei, and could even say that they were familiar with him.
Wei Yi saw this and had no choice but to get up.
"Student, I have met Yan Daru, brother."
When meeting the great scholar, Wei Yi was extremely calm.
After saluting, Yan Anguo nodded slightly without any intention of complimenting him politely.
His whole body exuded a kind of majesty that made people dare not look at him.
However, when Wei Yi studied the Immortal Sutra of the Past, his spiritual consciousness was extremely powerful. Although he was not as good as a great scholar, he would not be intimidated by his eyes.
"I wonder what is written in the test of Yi Di's intention? Yan Daru is in person. Yi Di came and asked Yan Daru to give you some advice. It will also be of great benefit to you." Wei Xu said with a gentle smile.
If you don't know Wei Yi's situation, you may still sigh at this harmonious scene of brothers and sisters.
However, Wei Yi, who knew the content of his intention article, would not think that Wei Xu was really giving his advice with good intentions.
But he is not afraid.
Now that he has written it down, he will not deny his intention.
Wei Yi looked at Yan Anguo, whose eyes were cold and undisguisedly malicious.
Wei Yi understood that Anheyuan had already seen his article.
That being the case, let's express our feelings over there.
"Students create new ideas."
The word "new idea" shocked all the scholars in the hall. They never expected that a mere concubine from the Hou family in Wei Yi would dare to create new ideas!
I'm afraid this world's literary world is going to make waves.
"What's new?" Yan Anguo, who had already received Su Yu's letter, suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
"Unity of knowledge and action."
Wei Yi slowly opened his mouth and revealed the name of his intention.
"What is the unity of knowledge and action?" Yan Anguo's eyes were full of coldness. He respected Zhu Sheng's will and could not tolerate any new ideas.
Faced with the cold eyes of the great scholar, Wei Yi was not afraid to restate his intention in words.
"That's nonsense!" As soon as Wei Yi finished speaking, Yan Anguo couldn't bear it any longer and scolded him immediately.
"Shu Zi's words are contrary to Zhu Sheng's intention. This is a remark against the Holy One! The unity of knowledge and action, and the theory of studying things to achieve knowledge are contrary to the Holy Will. You have gone astray. Zhu Sheng has made this intention for thousands of years, but your intention is no more than a wrong path!"
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
"Those who are enlightened come first. Isn't it an irrefutable truth that Zhu Sheng's idea was born earlier?" Wei Yi retorted.
"We, the Confucian scholars, have respected Zhu Sheng's intention for thousands of years, and no one has questioned it for thousands of years. Now, you are just a child with a yellow mouth, but you have been working behind closed doors for several years, as if you have rejected the holy will? Ten years later, if I look at Ru Dao again, I will know it at a glance." Yan
An Guo said coldly.
"Student..." Wei Yi was about to refute, but a fierce energy locked onto him, making him unable to speak!
Wei Yi's eyes widened with anger and he stared at Yan Anguo. The dignified scholar actually used such despicable methods!
Yan Anguo didn't want to argue with Wei Yi, so what he had to do now was to shut up Wei Yi and deny his intentions.
"I thought that when you were still young, you still stole the opportunity to change your ways. All you need to do is give up on yourself and I can give you a chance to change your ways." Yan Anguo said solemnly.
The idea article has been completed, and with the seal of the King of Qin, it cannot be destroyed. And the first hundred articles in the literary test must be made public to the world. In this case, there is only one way to minimize the influence of this idea article.
.
Fix the person who wrote this article!
The solution cannot be to get rid of Wei Yi, it must be that Wei Yi admits that his own intention is nonsense!
Yan Anguo wanted to kill Wei Yi on the spot, but he couldn't do it. Even if he did, it would only be after Wei Yi personally admitted that the article was nonsense.
Yan Anguo relaxed his momentum, allowing Wei Yi to speak.
Staring at Yan Anguo coldly, and then looking at his "brother" Wei Xu who was there and had no intention of intervening, Wei Yi suddenly laughed, and his smile was particularly mocking.
"If I deny my own intentions, what kind of scholar am I?"
"I, Wei Yi, will never deny my original intention!"
Wei Yi flatly refused.
Even though he wants to get ahead, a gentleman is proud and will never follow the crowd and trade his dignity for a future!
"Bold!" Yan Anguo was furious, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Zhuangyuan Building. The scholars with an average cultivation level of Jiu Yao collapsed on their chairs under the indiscriminate suppression of this aura.
Wei Yi, the only one standing, was trembling all over and was about to kneel on the ground under the overwhelming pressure.
But Wei Yiqiang held on, even if he only had the cultivation level of Jin Dan, he still held on with all his strength.
Suddenly, this terrifying aura like the power of God dissipated.
Wei Yi's eyes were dazzled when his clothes were wet with sweat, and a figure quietly appeared in front of him.
Yan Anguo suddenly stood up and looked at the sudden appearance of the figure in horror.
"The family forces you to kneel down with hereditary authority and false reputation, but dignity forces you to stand up."
The weak Wei Yi struggled to raise his head and looked at the young man in black dragon robe in front of him.
The dragon robe is exclusive to princes. Those who like the black dragon robe of princes are the kings of Tianwu!
Lin Ran stared at the young man in front of him who would rather die than kneel down.
"Die in cowardice, or be reborn in glory..."
"Tell me your choice." Lin Ran casually took a photo, and Yan Anguo, a great scholar who was showing off his power just a second ago, was like a chicken. Lin Ran held up his collar and pulled him in front of Wei Yi.
Yan Anguo could not speak or even move. He could only look at Wei Yi in front of him in horror.
Wei Yi looked at Yan Anguo in front of him and was silent for a moment. The earthly spiritual power covered his palms.
Yan Anguo's eyes became more and more frightened, but this fright could not stop Wei Yi's determination.
With his palm pressed on Yan Anguo's neck, the difference between a literary monk who has lost his literary spirit and an ordinary person is not that big.
Wei Yi exerted slight force.
Card.
Creepy sounds echoed inside the banquet.
The literary students were horrified, but they did not dare to make any move for fear of offending King Tianwu, who was dissatisfied with the literary style.
Yan Anguo's eyes gradually lost their sparkle.
Lin Ran let go of his hand, and Yan Anguo's body collapsed weakly on the ground.
Wei Yi looked at Lin Ran.
"The common people have seen the prince."
"Curious why I want to help you?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.
Wei Yi nodded.
"I have read your article."
A strange look flashed in Wei Yi's eyes. How did King Tianwu bypass King Qin and see the exam papers when he was not the examiner?
"Those who work for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow." Lin Ran glanced at Wei Yi.
"I am not a scholar like you, and I don't understand the great ambitions of you scholars, but I am willing to protect your growth before your fuel burns up."
"I would like to see if your spark can start a prairie fire."
Wei Yi met Lin Ran's eyes as deep as a mirage.
Can he let the prince see it?
Wei Yi laughed.
If you don’t even have this confidence, how can you talk about rebelling against the sage?
