Chapter 1340 Imperial Examination
Good things should be shared with everyone, and Duran made a big difference in the world with this spirit. The battle between the two Sun Wukongs in front of him is more of a struggle of ideas than a decisive victory in strength.
The unruly Monkey King and the mature and smooth Fighting Buddha. They are the same person, and their abilities are naturally similar. One wins in courage and the other wins in experience.
Seeing the stunned people around him, Duran expressed satisfaction.
The Tiger Head Village has been demolished, but the battle is not over yet. The Monkey King's combat power is still soaring. If the sky is wrong, it must be corrected. It cannot be ignored because of various excuses: "Ah!"
The golden stick is still sharp, and Fighting Buddha is beaten again and again. Although Fighting Buddha has taken a little advantage in the ability of words, in the eyes of the Monkey King, the world is either black or white, and gray should not exist.
Although the grown-up Fighting Buddha accepts the gray in society, the Monkey King will never accept it.
"I'm afraid they will have to fight a protracted war." Duran said. Neither of them could convince the other, and in the end, both would suffer. When the fourth boss and Tianming were exhausted, the battle would be over.
This world needs fighters like the Monkey King, and also needs patriots like the Fighting Buddha. The world is in chaos, and the Monkey King is a clear spring, proving the truth of the world; the world is in chaos, and the Fighting Buddha is a beacon, providing the experience of the elders to prevent young fighters like the Monkey King from making unnecessary sacrifices.
So this fight lasted for three days and three nights, and even the people in Chang'an City came to watch the show, from the outer universe to the Nine Netherworld Spring, that is, the sky and the earth changed color, and the sun and the moon lost their light.
Finally, the two fell to the ground, and everyone remembered that three days had passed, and the leader was in danger.
Liu Shan's expression was also very ugly. If the leader of the Mohist School died in the Shanhu Gang, then they would become enemies with the Mohist School in the future, which would be more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, the master was fine. In fact, he was watching the show and had taken the antidote long ago. It was just because the noise outside was so shocking that he could not immediately join the people of the Mohist School.
This was the first time that everyone deeply realized the power of the gods. Of course, it was the second time for the disciples of the Mohist School. The first time was when they were besieged by the Yin-Yang School.
From now on, I am afraid that ordinary people will know a world they have never been exposed to before.
The nobles of various countries felt the pressure and found that even if they restored their country, their lives might not be so good. Because the gods were illusory before, but now the gods have appeared. If they angered the gods, what can they do, not to mention the nobles, even if they are the emperor?
Duran was a little dissatisfied with the final result. Although it was expected, it was still a pity that there was no winner. However, this is just a virtual Monkey King, not the real Monkey King. If there is a chance to go to the universe of Journey to the West, Duran must let them decide the winner.
Tianming now knows how powerful he is, and he swells up and looks at people with his nose. Fortunately, Gai Nie immediately taught him the principle of "humility benefits and arrogance brings harm".
However, when he was with his peers, Tianming couldn't help but feel proud, causing Xiang Shaoyu and Gao Yue to hide from Tianming.
Fortunately, Tianming was only hot for three days and soon returned to normal.
After this incident, the public security of the entire autonomous region was much better, and the nobles were much more restrained, which was an unexpected gain.
The merger of Mohism and Confucianism provided a lot of technology, allowing the Han Autonomous Region to enter a period of rapid development, which was called the rule of Confucianism and Mohism.
Everyone lived their own lives in peace, and no one could stop the people from pursuing a better standard of living.
Days passed, and Dulan's imperial examination was finally ready.
Although the Qin nobles made trouble, the examination was still carried out normally, but the location was changed to Sanghai City.
Zhao Hao despised the old Qin people. Although he was also an old Qin person, he looked down on those old guys who didn't care about the future of Qin.
Zhao Hao knew that the state affairs of Qin were already in a state of disgrace, and the people were living in poverty. Now the Grand Master introduced the imperial examination to clear away the harsh policies of Qin and save the future of Qin. However, those old Qin people were afraid that their own interests would be damaged and obstructed in every possible way. This was really wrong.
After packing up his money and taking two bamboo slips, Zhao Hao went to the station to take a train to Sanghai City.
Zhao Hao was not very clear about what this train was, because he had never taken it before, but this time he could try to take the imperial examination in Sanghai City.
When he came to the train station outside Xianyang City, there were people from all over the country transferring here, and they were all going to Sanghai City.
When Zhao Hao saw the black iron dragon, his heartbeat quickened, and he thought that the Grand Master was really unfathomable. At the same time, he believed that the Grand Master was the one who could save Qin.
In addition to his ability, the imperial examination system formulated by the Grand Master was more beneficial to the country and the people, and the Han Autonomous Region he set up was simply a stroke of genius. Gathering all the anti-Qin forces together, it would only take a word to kill or cut them.
However, there are many people in the court who cannot stand the foresight of the Grand Master and do their best to slander the Grand Master's character, saying that he cultivates and condones anti-Qin forces and that he has ulterior motives.
The Grand Master is so capable that he is more than qualified to be the emperor, but he is willing to live in Sanghai City and build ships to go out to sea to prove the "Earth Roundness Theory". How can there be an ambitious person who is far away from the political center? Although Zhao Hao also thinks that the "Earth Roundness Theory" is nonsense, his admiration for Du Lan is still as endless as the Yellow River.
Zhao Hao studied under the Legalists, and there were students from various schools on the train: Confucianists, Taoists, agriculturalists, military strategists, miscellaneous scholars, famous scholars, novelists, and medical experts, etc.
Anyone can take the imperial examination, but the candidates are mainly poor people who are not given important positions.
In this era when people only know the lord but not the monarch, capable people basically rely on the nobles. They are only responsible to the nobles. If the nobles want to usurp the throne, these retainers will never oppose but will fully support them. Because the retainers are only loyal to the nobles, not the monarch.
Even when the nobles recommend the retainers to the monarch, the retainers' loyalty may not change.
The imperial examination breaks these rules, allowing the monarch to directly select talents without going through the hands of the nobles. Therefore, those who take this exam are basically those who are not favored by the nobles, and these people generally live in poverty.
But living in poverty does not mean that they have no talent. In the train compartment, these people who take the exam talk a lot in groups of three or two, and they feel like they have jumped over the dragon gate.
There were less than 50 participants in the first imperial examination, but this was a start.
Zhao Hao held the bamboo slips in his hand and pretended to read, but he was listening to other people's discussions. The youngest people in the carriage were only in their teens, and the oldest were probably in their forties. They all had their own opinions and it was very lively.
Although Zhao Hao wanted to speak his mind, he couldn't bear to disrupt other people's discussions, fearing that he would miss out on the wonderful speeches. For a moment, he was extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help himself.
