Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

So they can only do what they like and suppress Chen Qi.

Not long after, the gate of the palace opened wide, and all civil and military officials lined up to enter according to their ranks. Chen Qi also followed the Jinshi team and followed the crowd to the Taiji Hall.

Then, under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, the thank you form written in advance was placed on a table engraved with dragon patterns not far from the gate of Taiji Hall.

The above table of thanks is a fixed program, and there is no room for development in the content of the table.

It's nothing more than gratitude to the present day, etc., just like the thank-you letter written by Chen Qi's former employees to the company leaders, it's just flattery and flattery anyway.

Perhaps it was because Chen Qi had a criminal record, so when he wrote the gratitude form, the officials of Honglu Temple guided the whole process, and after writing it, they did not forget to check it personally.

Just in case he messes with his gratitude form and writes something he shouldn't.

Regarding this, Chen Qi was very speechless.

He is not stupid, how could he do something in this situation?

Something like a gratitude watch is just a face-saving image project, so it's no wonder Li Shimin would read it.

Just like the thank-you letters and suggestions letters that employees of later generations are compelled to write to company leaders, which company leader would really read these.

If he engages in this aspect, not only will Li Shimin not know about it, but it will be of no use at all.

He would also offend the officials of Honglu Temple and the servants of the palace, and be hated by everyone.

His head was caught by the door, so he did this thankless and useless work.

Besides, he is not an iron-headed boy, and there is no need to use his small body to test whether the Tang Dynasty's sword is good or bad, and whether it can kill people.

Therefore, Chen Qi was very honest during the entire court meeting, standing behind the Jinshi, like a little transparent, inconspicuous at all.

He does what others do, he says what others say, and follows the trend throughout the process.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Chen Guangrui, the number one scholar, presented a thank you table on behalf of all the Jinshi, and led all the Jinshi to pay homage to Li Shimin, the emperor of Zhenguan, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Whether you enter the Hongwen Museum, or enter the yamen of the six departments of the three provinces, you should serve the country and the people. Don't slack off, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly."

Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin, sitting high on the dragon chair, looked at the newly promoted Jinshi kneeling in the hall, nodded in satisfaction, opened his golden mouth, and exhorted the Jinshi again.

"Follow the decree."

The emperor said so, what else can Chen Qi and others do, of course you are right.

After the above table of gratitude is completed, this court meeting will be successfully completed.

Emperor Zhenguan left the venue first, and then the civil and military officials also went back to their respective homes.

As for Chen Qi and other new scholars, they first went to the Ministry of Officials to receive official documents, official uniforms, seals, etc., and then reported to the yamen they were going to.

Of course, the Jinshi who were left to serve in Chang'an City like Chen Qi were fine, those who were appointed to other places, or even the Xiaoqian world controlled by Datang, would not be able to report for their appointment in a short while.

It's okay to be close to the place of work, as long as you work hard, you can get there in ten or eight days.

If you are far away, it will be hard to say, and you can go to the place in three to five months if you go smoothly.

If it doesn't go well, it may become the ghost of a certain green forest hero, or some mountain spirits, wild monsters, demons and ghosts.

These are all possible, anyway, the imperial court is not responsible for the transfer.

Everything is up to you. .

Chapter 33

After the court meeting to thank you, Chen Qi received the scholar's document from the Imperial Academy from the Ministry of Officials, and returned to the other courtyard of the Yang Mansion indifferently.

Sad and disappointed?

It doesn't exist at all, okay?

When he returned to his residence, he casually threw aside the official uniform in his hand, and he couldn't wait to pick up "Mencius" and continue reading.

At this time, his reading progress of "Mencius" has reached 90.00%[-], and it takes at most two times to read "Mencius" thoroughly.

In this way, another experience value is recorded, and there may be additional surprises.

Because the book "Mencius" is different from "The Analects".

"The Analects of Confucius" is just a collection of quotations compiled by Confucius' disciples and his disciples to record the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples.

But "Mencius" was written by Mencius and his disciples Wan Zhang and Gongsun Chou.

Although in terms of the status of Confucianism, "The Analects of Confucius" is even better, and it is the foundation of Confucianism.

However, Chen Qi felt that in the system's evaluation, "Mencius" would be higher, and it would bring him more gains.

The reason is very simple, one book was sorted out by Confucius' unknown disciples and re-transferred unknown disciples.

One was compiled by Mencius himself and his disciples Wan Zhang, Gongsun Chou and others.

The editors of the former didn’t even have names, and they said they compiled it based on the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. Who knows if they really understood the true meaning of the sages’ thoughts.

The latter was written by Mencius himself. If you say that Mencius didn't know his own thoughts, then there is a ghost.

Therefore, Chen Qi felt that it was very possible for him to obtain additional rewards other than experience points from the book "Mencius".

""Mencius" Dedicated Chapters and Sentences No. 30 Section [-]:

Mencius said: From Yao and Shun to Tang, there are more than five hundred years old. If you are like Yu and Gao Tao, you will know it by seeing it;

If it is soup, you will know it by smelling it.From Tang to King Wen, they were more than five hundred years old. If Yi Yin and Lai Zhu saw it, they would know it;

If you are King Wen, you will know it when you hear it.From King Wen to Confucius, more than five hundred years old, if the Taigong Wang, San Yisheng, you will know it by seeing;

Like Confucius, you will know it by hearing it.From Confucius to the present, more than a hundred years old, to the world of sages, if this is not far away;

If it is so close to the residence of a saint, if there is nothing like it, then there is nothing like it. "

After reading No. 30 and eight chapters of "Mencius" with all his heart, Chen Qi seemed to have some insights, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

The latter one is upright and upright, the grand spiritual power condenses from him, and finally explodes, piercing through the sky, covering half of Chang'an City, which shocked many people.

"Haha, I didn't expect our Confucianism to produce another great Confucian, it should be a big one!"

In the Hongwen Museum of the Tang Dynasty, an old man with a refined appearance and wearing a blue Confucian shirt couldn't help laughing after feeling the great spiritual power above Chang'an City.

Accompanied by his loud laughter, a spiritual force that seemed to have the same origin erupted, like a mountain, pressing across the sky above Chang'an City.Those who originally wanted to explore the source of spiritual power had to put away their little thoughts.

After all, even a land god would not be willing to provoke a Confucian of the first rank, in the city of Chang'an where dragon spirit is suppressed.

With such a great Confucian sitting in the town, he dared to plot against a newly promoted Confucian after he had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Of course, Chen Qi didn't know what was happening in the outside world, and he didn't know that because of himself, he attracted a Confucian powerhouse of the first rank.

After an unknown period of time, the great spiritual power in his body slowly dissipated, and the whole person returned to normal again.

"Majestic righteousness, Mencius' three swords!"

Although he already had a hunch that he would gain something from the book "Mencius", Chen Qi never expected that his gain would be so great.

A basic magical power of Confucianism, a set of supreme swordsmanship of Confucianism, plus [-] experience points.

This kind of harvest can be compared with Zhou Wenwang's "Book of Changes".

The practice of Confucianism is not the same as that of martial arts and immortality. They are no different from ordinary people before they understand the awe-inspiring righteousness.

Once they accumulate enough and realize the awe-inspiring righteousness, they will be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and their cultivation base will reach the third rank.

Of course, such a one-step climb to the sky also has a huge flaw, that is, only the spiritual will reaches the upper third rank, and the spiritual will condensed by the awe-inspiring righteousness can use the power of the righteousness of the heavens and the earth.

His physique is still the same, not to mention compared with warriors of the same realm, even compared with monks, it is far inferior.

But it is undeniable that a Confucian powerhouse of the third rank is absolutely invincible when dealing with evil spirits, and is the nemesis of evil spirits.

It's just that the great Confucian who understands the great righteousness belongs to the upper third rank of spiritual practice, and only cultivates the gods of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, so there is a deficiency.

Even if one achieves first rank, in terms of longevity, he is no different from ordinary people, not even warriors.

Therefore, the practice of Confucianism can be understood as spiritual practice, and the fundamental righteousness of Confucianism is spiritual supernatural powers.

Similar to Haoran Zhengqi is Mencius' Three Swords, which is the unique skill of Mencius, the sub-sage of Confucianism, and belongs to the secret method of spiritual attack.

Mencius Three Swords!

These three swords are: the sword of the king, the sword of the people, and the sword of the country! .

Chen Qi opened his eyes, carefully comprehended the changes in himself, his heart was calm and unwavering, neither sad nor happy, only absolute reason.

At this time, his thoughts were condensed together, crystal clear, pure and flawless, without any impurities, just like a crystal diamond, square and square, giving people a sense of integrity.

Thought is the embodiment of a person's spiritual power, and it is also the composition of the three souls and seven souls of a person.

If the thoughts are strong enough, you can condense the Yin God, and once you enter the Tao, you will become a monk of the Immortal Dao.

However, human thoughts are originally invisible and intangible.

Especially for ordinary people, their soul is composed of thousands of various distracting thoughts, so they are constantly thinking about it every day, can't concentrate, and their work and study efficiency is not high.

Just like cultivating the Tao, the first step is to teach people how to enter concentration and how to get rid of distracting thoughts in their minds.

When people's distracting thoughts disappear, their thoughts will gradually become pure, and finally they will be crystal clear and clean, and they will get what Taoism calls the heart of a child.

In addition, whether it is the cultivation of Taoist visualization or the cultivation of martial arts mind, the essence is to wash away distracting thoughts like sand, leaving the nature like gold.

This is the so-called "Golden Elixir Way", rather than actually cultivating a golden elixir.
