203 No second choice(1/2)
Taking advantage of the fact that it took a lot of time to go to the Emperor's Temple, Shi Zhongkui sat in the sedan chair, holding the psychic jade in his hand and thought about it.
With a thought in his heart, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't I do some errand for you in the Emperor's Temple?"
Even if the scabby monk and Pozu Taoist came to visit, they would not dare to mess around in the Wenchang Emperor's Temple.
Not to mention, if you gain the emperor's appreciation, you don't have to worry about not having a backer when you succeed in your cultivation and ascend to heaven."
After hearing this, Psychic Baoyu, just as Shi Zhongkui thought, agreed without any hesitation.
He even joked that if he was still picky, he would be the biggest idiot in the world.
Shi Zhongkui laughed. Originally, according to his own thoughts, helping the weapon spirit to go to heaven would probably expose the fact that he lived to make up for the divine stone.
But if you think about it carefully, unless you kill the weapon spirit, there is a risk that it will be exposed whether it goes to heaven or stays in this world.
Send him to Emperor Wenchang. Firstly, he doesn't have to worry about being threatened. Secondly, Emperor Wenchang is in charge of cultural and educational matters, so there is no need to slay demons.
It can be said that when you go on errands with him, you will only feel comfortable and without danger.
Once people feel at ease, they will not be motivated to fight, and they will be too worried about gains and losses to dare to break the status quo.
Moreover, the weapon spirit is hiding in the Emperor's Temple in Wenchang. No matter how talented the scabby monk or Taoist Pozu is, they can never find him.
There is no need to wait thirty or fifty years. In three to five years, Shi Zhongkui is confident that he should be able to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.
When the time comes, I have the Xuanli Sword in my hand, and I will learn to cultivate it into a sword canon, and keep it for the monks and Taoists to never come back.
When we arrived outside the Emperor's Temple, before we even got off the sedan chair, we heard Xue Pan laughing loudly.
Then the sedan curtain was lifted up, and Xue Datou's chubby face appeared in front of him.
"Brother, you don't know how to call me brother when something good happens."
Xue Pan always blamed him when he opened his mouth, and Shi Zhongkui couldn't scold him because of this.
Then he heard Jia Lian laughing and scolding, "Yesterday things were urgent and unexpected, so how could I have thought of you? Besides, even if I called you, how could you help?"
You're not like me, you can only stare, dumbfounded and unable to do anything."
Xue Pan suddenly started shouting and making a fuss.
Shi Zhongkui didn't care how he and Jia Lian argued. When he got off the sedan, he saw a sea of people around him.
I immediately realized that there is still one and a half months before this year's county examination. It is also the Chinese New Year period, so there really shouldn't be too many people coming to the Wenchang Emperor Temple.
When the people nearby saw that it was really him, they immediately became excited.
Any scholar or scholar with a good reputation would bow to him and claim to have seen the "Six Yuan Gong".
Shi Zhongkui hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greetings to everyone around him.
Then he rolled his eyes and walked towards a few middle-aged people who obviously had a certain reputation and were wearing Confucian robes.
After he handed over his hand again, he smiled and said, "I have met all the wise men."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I can't afford to be called Liu Yuan Gong like that."
Several people hurriedly bowed to each other, and then they said with a smile on their faces, "I have met Liu Yuan Gong in my junior year of school. I am really lucky to be able to meet Liu Yuan Gong today."
"Senior, you are polite, but I forgot for a moment that the beginning of February is the Yingju month. Worshiping the emperor with such a big fanfare is really disturbing the people."
In fact, Shi Zhongkui didn't need to call these scholars or senior scholars at all.
The examination room has always been based on ranking, not to mention that these people are not even Jinshi.
But again, being humble is never a bad thing.
Otherwise, when scholars hate you, they will do whatever they can to stop you.
Rumors, slander, and even stories are commonplace.
What I fear most is that when writing biographies of famous people, there are nine truths and one falsehood, so that future generations will not be able to distinguish the truth from the lies.
Even though Shi Zhongkui was the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty and his life would be recorded by official history, compared with novels, biographies, anecdotes and operas.
The dissemination degree of official history is basically equal to 0. If the public hears it too much, they will think that official history is fake.
Therefore, Shi Zhongkui, who is well aware of this, has always provoked me when it comes to me, and he will fight with me whenever he wants.
Right, that is to be as humble and close to the people as possible, and never do anything that hinders or harms the interests of the majority of people.
Anyway, even if you go through qualifications, your promotion speed will not be slower than others.
Not to mention, I am not short of ways to make meritorious deeds.
And the more polite he is today, the more these people will praise him even more and help him create a bigger and better reputation in Shilin after he goes back.
Sure enough, when the scholars around him saw his low posture, their faces turned red with excitement.
"Speaking of Mr. Liu Yuan, you are also a scholar. We can come to pay homage to the emperor, but there is no reason why you cannot come.
Besides, as the leader of the world, Liuyuan Gong, you came to see Emperor Wenchang. You are actually advocating Confucianism and Taoism, and setting an example to the world's scholars and people."
As soon as these words came out, the scholars and civilians around him couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Of course Shi Zhongkui understands the star effect, so he stopped being polite and smiled and handed over to everyone, "In that case, I will do my duty today.
I take a step ahead of you and ask the emperor to protect me and help us flourish cultural education in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The wishes of all the wise men and women present will come true. It is best if someone wins the first prize in one fell swoop."
"Hahaha."
Shi Zhongkui didn't talk about the scholars in the world, but just said that the scholars present here have their dreams come true.
This is probably the most favorite thing everyone here has heard this year, and the thing they most want to hear.
Moreover, in the past, in various restaurants in the capital, prices would rise three to five times, or even dozens of times, if only seniors who passed the imperial examination stayed in a certain room.
Now Shi Zhongkui, the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty, personally blessed the event, and the readers at the scene almost went crazy with joy.
All of a sudden, there were shouts of thanks outside the Emperor's Temple.
Some people even brought their children to seek the emperor's blessing. They held down their nephews and made them kneel on the ground, treating Shi Zhongkui as a mascot to kneel down and pray for blessings.
I hope I can get some grace from him.
As for Shi Zhongkui's statement that he "does his duty", no one thinks there is any problem.
Besides, Shi Zhongkui said, please ask the emperor to bless everyone.
Given how superstitious the ancients were in this regard, anyone who objected to the custody would be beaten to death in the street.
And even if the officials knew about it, they would probably think that the person had brought it upon himself and would not arrest him at all.
When Xue Pan, Xue Biao and everyone in the Jia family followed Shi Zhongkui, they were all stunned.
Some people even recognized Xue Pan and Jia Lian, which made them jealous.
The more lively this guy Xue Pan is, the more excited and excited he becomes. If it weren't for Xue Pan's pulling him, he would have sneered a few words triumphantly.
Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui couldn't see behind him, and he was even more worried that someone would ask him to compose poems in front of the Emperor's Temple, otherwise Xue Pan would definitely have a hard time in the future.
Therefore, I felt a little anxious when I visited various immortals and gods along the way.
Everyone just thought that he didn't want to take up too much time and prevent people from coming in to worship.
Moreover, Shi Zhongkui truly prayed to Emperor Wenchang, Lord Wenquxing and other big figures, saying that he hoped that the literature and education of the Great Zhou Dynasty would flourish, and that the scholars who came to worship today would have good grades in this subject.
With these words, the people present were already so excited that they couldn't help but kneel down and worship. Who cares whether Shi Zhongkui wrote poetry or not.
There were even people behind him who wanted him to go to other halls early so that they could go in and kneel down and pray.
The main purpose of Shi Zhongkui's visit this time was actually to offer meritorious deeds in order to repay the promise he made when he came here.
After Mr. Big Dipper received the merit, of course he didn't care about other sacrifices.
Even every time he entered a palace, these star kings personally sent down their spiritual consciousness and said a few words to him.
However, when he saw Mr. Wu Quxing, the old man's expression was obviously unhappy.
Shi Zhongkui thought for a moment and thought that the heaven was ready to conquer Monkey King, the demon king in the lower world.
But I didn't expect that this was not the case at all.
Wu Quxing didn't want to say it at first, after all, it would be a bit embarrassing to say it.
But when he saw that Shi Zhongkui had only been down to earth for more than two years, a golden light of merit appeared in his soul, and even he felt a hint of envy.
And with what happened today, the incense in Wenchang Emperor Temple will definitely become more prosperous.
The ones who will benefit the most are definitely Wenchangxing and Wenquxing.
Even Tanlang and Pojunxing were more popular than him. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think that Shi Zhongkui did have some abilities.
If you promise him some benefits, or even just mention a few words, in exchange for more incense and merit, there is no reason why I shouldn't do it.
"Watcher Shi, for the sake of your respect, I would like to give you a few words of advice. Are you willing to listen?"
Shi Zhongkui was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was the Royal Horse Supervisor on guard duty at the beginning.
He hurriedly bowed down and said silently in his heart, "Yes, thank you, Lord Xingjun."
Wu Quxing nodded with satisfaction. What he likes most is smart, knowledgeable and obedient people.
"Looking at the manifestation of merit in your soul, if I were you, I would go back to heaven as soon as possible, or ask someone to take care of you, and get an official position. It would be countless times better than you are now, even a small official."
