Divine Book Era

Chapter 40 The Imperial Examination is Difficult, Difficult to Rebel!

"It turns out that Bachelor Wei is a great Confucian!"

Liu Xiu exclaimed.

The Heavenly Snake King was silent, and said leisurely: "Scholar Wei is very powerful, even if I am at my peak, I am no match for him. With him around, the ghosts and monsters would have been hiding far away. How dare they make trouble!"

"A great Confucian can still protect a county from the invasion of evil spirits; in the Middle Ages, when hundreds of saints came out together, and the great Confucianism was like a cloud, what kind of scene was it then!" Liu Xiu couldn't help sighing.

"At that time, the demon king hid like a good baby; the demon emperor also fled overseas and did not dare to touch the middle land; the gods in the sky were also cautious, did not dare to leave the kingdom of God, and did not dare to send oracles to the world; and that one This sect of Immortal Dao is either closed to the mountain, or married to some saints..."

The Heavenly Snake King said: "That era was the era of the heyday of literature and Taoism! But now the saints have disappeared, there are three or two big Confucians, big cats and kittens, and Confucian scholars are extremely rare. The line of literature and Taoism is almost cut off! Who still remembers the glory of the saints? , the ideal of a saint, the invincibility of a saint!"

"Nowadays, there are only one family of saints left, and they still exist, which seems to prove that those saints have a glorious past, but that's all!"

In today's era, the decline of Wen Dao is serious, the strong are terribly withered, and there are very few monks of Wen Dao; Immortal Dao has declined, but various classics exist, there are many strong ones, and they are still strong; Martial Dao is the easiest to get started , There are many people who cultivate, and there are also many strong people.

In other words, in today's era, the difference between immortality and martial arts has gradually become blurred.

Immortal disciples also practice martial arts; some martial arts masters also practice immortal arts.It's just that the focus is different. The disciples of the immortal sect focus on cultivating immortals, and martial arts are only auxiliary; while some martial arts masters mainly practice martial arts, and cultivating immortals is only for assisting.

The Heavenly Snake King said: "I have a hunch that you have a lineage of Wen Dao and residual luck. Between heaven and earth, there is a line of Wen Dao. If there are still saints, you will be the last saint!"

"What kind of saint qualification? What kind of saint king? I'm just an ant. As long as I want to be a scholar, it's becoming more and more difficult to be a scholar these days!"

Liu Xiu thought.

"I have no confidence in being a scholar, and I don't have any confidence in being a scholar; being a Jinshi is not as difficult as becoming a sage; as for being a champion..." Liu Xiu thought: "I followed the White Lotus Sect, rebelled and rebelled. In the end, becoming the emperor has at least one level of success rate; but it is even more difficult to be the first scholar in the exam than to rebel and become the emperor!"

The more she lives in this era, the more she understands the imperial examination, the less confident Liu Xiu is about the road to the imperial examination.

At least for now, following Bai Susu, going to rebel, and finally becoming emperor, the probability of success is far beyond the imperial examination.

In today's era, the imperial examination is becoming more and more rigorous. The imperial examination needs to go through more thresholds and more hidden rules. The possibility of failing the ranking is increasing. Liu Xiu is also becoming more and more confident.

"You can't really do that!" The Heavenly Snake King said with a smile, "White Lotus Sect, rebellion is extremely unreliable, even Bai Susu doesn't have the slightest confidence; but now you say you want to rebel, you can't be joking!"

"Why are you joking?" Liu Xiu said with a serious expression, "Study is employment. If you pass the exam, you will find a job. If you fail the exam, you will be unemployed. I am a scholar. Apart from being able to read, I don't know how to cultivate land. , I don’t know how to do business, I don’t know how to craft, and I’m useless. If I pass the exam as a scholar, if I don’t pass the exam, I will not do anything other than rebellion!”

"Silly scholar, you are not really stupid!" said the Heavenly Snake King, "How powerful is the Great Chu Dynasty? I am known as the Heavenly Snake King, but I am only in a corner, dominating the king. Those saints' families have passed on for tens of thousands of years. For a long time, he was also a good baby and did not dare to rebel; those great sects of the immortal way are powerful, but they are also extremely secretive and dare not rebel."

"Nowadays, the fortune of the Great Chu Kingdom is at its peak, strong men emerge in large numbers, and their weapons are sharp. If there are people who don't know good and bad and want to rebel, they may just raise the flag, and they will be wiped out overnight!"

"If you pass the exam for a scholar, then that's fine; if you fail the exam for a scholar, I don't mind rebelling!" Liu Xiu said leisurely, "The founding emperor of my Great Chu is too shrewd. He knows that ruling a country does not require too much knowledge. The key to governing the country lies in the weak people, and the weak people are rooted in the weak literati! Among the literati, there are many people with outstanding wisdom, and many talented people who can govern the country. It is a pity that in today's era, there is no We don’t need these intelligent and profound people, and we don’t need these good talents for governing the country. If a fool becomes an emperor, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. It is the root of the instability of the imperial power! To weaken the literati, there is an imperial examination method, and the literati are used as pigs, and the literati are raised as pigs!"

"Academy is a pigsty. If you don't enter the pigsty, you can't take scientific examinations; the study of classics and righteousness is the method of raising pigs. There are six imperial examinations, county examination, government examination, courtyard examination, township examination, general examination, and palace examination. Step by step. It’s a step-by-step pig raising plan. Even if you pass the Jinshi exam and finally enter the Imperial Academy, it’s equivalent to entering another pigsty!”

"A group of imperial literati are just the emperor's pets. The world likes to keep cats and dogs as pets; but the emperor likes to keep a group of literati in captivity as pets. When the master is happy, he will throw a few bones to the dog; the emperor is happy If so, I will also throw a few bones at the literati."

"As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor can eat people. As the saying goes, if the king tells his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. The emperor kills his ministers without a reason, just because they are a group of pets raised in captivity!"

…………

The Heavenly Snake King shivered, only feeling the violence of the man in front of him.

All along, Liu Xiu gave him the feeling of gentleness, elegance and modesty, but at this moment, he showed a violent look, like a devil emperor who wants to destroy all living beings and use the blood of all living beings to wash away the sins of this world.

This is probably a saint!

The Heavenly Snake King became more and more sure that Liu Xiu had the qualifications of a saint king.

"Silly scholar, I am more and more sure that as long as you don't die, you will definitely become a saint in the future, the king of saints?"

"Maybe!"

"Stupid scholar, what is a sage?" The Heavenly Snake King said with a smile.

"do not know!"

"The reason why a saint is holy is because he has not been castrated!" The Heavenly Snake King laughed and said, "If you want to domesticate, the first step is to castrate. In ancient times, wild boars were extremely arrogant and untamed. One knife, after being castrated, it is just a fat pig, no longer able to fight a tiger, even a wild dog can bite it to death!"

"The human race has experienced four ages, the age of emperors, the age of emperors, the age of saints, and the modern age. In the age of emperors, in order to govern the people, each emperor formulated etiquette, morality, and laws, castrated the common people, and removed their wildness. Turned into obedient people, they don’t know how to resist tyranny, don’t know how to fight back against foreigners, and don’t know etiquette and shame. The saints are a group of human beings who have not been castrated and are full of wildness. They are the rebels against tyranny. He is the pioneer, the stickler of the ancient virtues, the heresy in the eyes of the imperial power, the thorn in the flesh of the emperors of all dynasties, and he wants to get rid of it quickly!"
