Great Blue Night Watchman

The whole hall was silent.

"Retreat from the court!" His Majesty waved his hand lightly, stood up and left his seat.

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down at the same time.

His Majesty walked out of the Golden Palace step by step. When he arrived at the door of the Golden Palace, he slowly exhaled, looked at the Confucian Temple in the distance, took another breath, and slowly walked towards the harem...

Wei Xinyu and the other six slowly raised their heads and saw a pair of feet in front of them.

There was a faint smile on Zhang Juzheng's face: "Master Wei, if you wait for the six of you, don't go back. Follow me to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Wei Xinyu said: "I wonder what Mr. Zhang's orders are?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Going through the process, please go to the Half-Dao Hall and report the final results of Qinglian's Taoism to Wenyuan Pavilion for recording in the "History of Taoism"."

Wei Xinyu felt relieved, oh, it turns out it was just this.

He was also a little worried about what happened to Zhang Juzheng. It turned out that he just recorded the final results of Qinglian's discussion in the "History of Discussion on Tao". This was a formal process and he had already prepared it.

…

The Confucian Temple is a sacred place in the world.

Except for the watchman, no one has ever entered the second floor of the Confucian Temple.

But today, Lin Su came in.

The watchman waved his hand gently, and a pavilion appeared on the second floor.

"sit!"

There was an extra chair under Lin Su's butt.

Lin Su sat down, and writing appeared on the wing of the chair next to him. To be precise, the chair he was sitting on and everything in front of him were made of writing. This was the literary world.

The watchman in front of me is also a person in the literary world, and he is much more advanced than Zhang Weikong back then, because he constructed these objects in a vacuum and used very few words. The fewer words, the deeper his skill. When he opens the world with one stroke in the future At this time, you have touched the threshold of the holy way.

"Do you have the top-notch Baiyunbian on you?"

In one sentence, Lin Su was so surprised: "Does your Majesty like Baiyunbian? This is a hundred altars, all of which are top-notch!"

He stretched out his hand and handed a storage bag to the watchman.

The watchman gently raised his hand: "The friendship between you and me is only worth one cup at the moment, so don't mess with the rules!"

Silently, two wine glasses appeared in front of Lin Su. The wine glass in front of the watchman was composed of two words: "Midnight", and the cup in front of Lin Su was also composed of two words: "Third Watch"!

Midnight update!

Lin Su's heart skipped a beat, and a scene from "Journey to the West" appeared in his mind. Monkey Sun asked Patriarch Bodhi, and Patriarch Bodhi gave him an instruction and knocked him on the head three times. Got it, I went to see Bodhi at midnight...

Could it be that……

"Do you know what the third watch means?" said the late watcher.

Lin Su shook his head gently.

"Third watch, the night is getting darker!"

Lin Su was shocked.

"It's not easy to get here step by step, but you have to remember that it's far from the most difficult time yet."

It turned out that this was what he meant. Lin Su nodded: "Disciple, I understand! Thank you so much, distinguished envoy!"

"Today in the main hall, you had one more thing to do. I took you away. Do you know what I meant?"

"What does the envoy mean?"

The watchman said: "You and I both know that since Wang Junyu has lost consciousness on the forum, it is absolutely impossible for him to accuse you of killing him in the official seal."

"Yes! Disciple is sure that someone must have falsified the official seal... Disciple should listen to Wei Xinyu's explanation."

The watchman said: "I took you away because I was worried that you would have to explain to him."

Lin Su's heart was pounding wildly and she was speechless for a moment.

The watchman said: "The official seal is the most sacred mark in the officialdom. Only one person can fake the official seal, and there is only one person in the entire world!"

The official seal represents the laws of the dynasty.

Represents secular imperial power.

No one can fake the official seal, because all the modification functions of the official seal are locked, and it is impossible for any false things to be included in the official seal. Only one person can change this iron rule, and that is naturally the Supreme Lord of the Great Cang: the Emperor!

If Lin Su grabbed Wei Xinyu and asked for an answer, he would ultimately point to the emperor.

What does it mean if the emperor personally goes to court and forges evidence to harm his ministers?

Once exposed, there is only one outcome. Your Majesty's reputation will be tainted for thousands of miles. Even if Lin Su doesn't want to confront the imperial power, he must confront it. Moreover, the temple will also be involved and will be forced to make a difficult decision. Choose sides between the emperor and Lin Su.

Dynasty, subject to the Temple.

But the temple cannot break away from the imperial court easily. After all, the literary world cannot do without the support of secular imperial power.

On the balance of the temple, no one would choose to be Lin Su and ignore the stability of the world.

Therefore, the watchman took Lin Su away to prevent the matter from getting into an irreversible situation, which was to protect Lin Su.

Lin Su stood up and bowed deeply.

Wordless, it means thanks.

"Now that you are holding the Green Wood Order, you finally have a talisman. But don't think that just by holding this order, you can do whatever you want. You need to know that this order can be issued because of your past achievements, and it can also be issued because of you. I'll take it for granted today."

"Please rest assured, your Majesty." Lin Su said: "This disciple is definitely not a person who does anything reckless. This order only prevents unwarranted disasters and will never serve as a shield for evildoing."

"It's good that you understand this! The Aoki Order is not so easy to issue. If you have the opportunity in the future, you need to thank someone."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Ode to the Saint of the Book Mountain."

The Saint of Shushan? Yasong?

Lin Su had never heard of it...

The watchman smiled softly. The Aoki Order was originally unlikely to be issued to people who were not from the temple, but your "Dream of Red Mansions" changed this rule. The "Holy Dao Literature and Journal" on the Red Mansion, the Saint of Shushan leaned on it as a book At the top of the mountain, holding "Red Mansions" in both hands, I ascended to the third heaven in person, and I pledged my sincerity to seek it for you.

Lin Su's heart skipped a beat, there was such a song.

Holding the Red Tower with both hands, ascending to the third heaven in person, and also using your own sincerity as a guarantee, this is a great favor!

Holy Lady of Shushan, thank you!

There was another person whom he seemed to be grateful for. That was Li Guihan. It was she who passed the Dream of Red Mansions to the temple. Could it be said that she had this intention on that day?

I'll have to ask you next time we meet.

The watchman said: "There is one more thing you have to understand. You have not been rewarded for your two newly composed Qingci and Qingci poems. This is just because the Qingmu Order has just been issued, so it is not appropriate to be too kind. From now on, you will still receive the Qingshi Qingci Prize." , you might as well continue your legend.”

Lin Su smiled, and all doubts were gone.

He wrote the ancient Qing poem "Tian Jing Sha. Autumn Thoughts" in the ancient country of Nanyang, but he was not rewarded. It turned out that the real reason was this, because his Qing Mu Order had already approved it, and the temple could not catch one person and award endless awards...

"I have kept you for an hour, enough to spread the word throughout the world!" The watchman said: "Have a drink and go!"

"Yes!" The two of them raised their wine glasses at the same time and drank them all in one gulp.

…

There is a special atmosphere in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Juzheng sat in the middle, raised his hand, and a golden light emitted, covering half of the Taoist hall.

Half of the Taoist Hall, the Tao of the world, is only half.

This is a literary and modest word.

However, Ban Dao Hall is the most sacred place in the entire Wenyuan Pavilion. To inspire the glory of the Holy Dao is equivalent to facing the saints directly.

Asking questions in the hall, but half of the sentences are false, which is equivalent to cheating under the holy incense, and will definitely break the literary heart of Wenshan literary circles on the spot.

Wei Xinyu smiled and said: "Sir Zhang, Qinglian's discussion of Tao needs to be recorded in Da Cang's "History of Discussing Tao". There are regulations. I have already prepared them, and I will hand them over to you!"

He raised his hand and handed a piece of gold paper to Zhang Juzheng, with a few lines written on it: On the tenth day of the second lunar month in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Da Cang selected seven people to participate in the Qinglian discussion. They were Bailu Academy: Zhou Hongyu, Yang Huaisu, Xie Yun. Gongyuan of Beijing: Wang Chengcheng and Xiang Yeqiu. Hanlin Academy: Wang Junyu. Supervision Department: Lin Su. The team was led by Wei Xinyu, the head of the Gongyuan Academy in Beijing. This year's Qinglian Forum, Da Cang topped the list.

The golden light intertwined with the golden light in the Half-Dao Hall, and there was nothing unusual about it, indicating that everything written on this piece of paper was the truth.

Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly: "Is it that simple?"

Wei Xinyu said: "Qinglian's discussion of Taoism has been recorded hundreds of times in the "History of Discussing Taoism". Every time, it is the same rules. Is there anything wrong?"

This is actually true.

The annals of Taoism do not record too detailed content, they just record these things, and this has been the case for thousands of years.

As for the specific content of the discussion, there are special records on the Holy Way, and the Temple will release it one after another in the future.

Zhang Juzheng raised his eyes: "In the past, the records only required these, but something is different today. Da Cang climbed to the top for the first time, and the glory lasted forever. How can it be so simple?"

Wei Xinyu and the other six people's hearts sank slightly.

Wei Xinyu frowned slightly: "Master Zhang, what else do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything. How many Qinglians do each of you Taoists get? What are the manifestations of each stage?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts jumped at the same time.

This is to get to the bottom of things!

Under normal circumstances, when faced with the most proud battle, no one cares to get to the bottom of it, but this does not include this Qinglian discussion. This time, once the Qinglian discussion gets to the bottom of it, in the end only one person can dominate the world, and everyone else will. Disgraced.

Wei Xinyu pondered: "Qinglian's Taoism is a collective display of a country's literary power. Some people perform better, some perform less well, and some are willing to be behind the scenes for the benefit of their own country. This is common sense, and its role cannot be obliterated because of this. Achievements, that’s why Qinglian always only talks about the results and no one investigates the process. Its fundamental purpose is to prevent rumors with ulterior motives. Mr. Zhang, why do you have to ask about this detail?"

What he said was also true.

Qinglian's discussion of Taoism is a collective action, and it is not appropriate to highlight individuals. Otherwise, if it spreads to the world, rumors will fly everywhere.

Zhang Juzheng gently raised his hand and patted the "History of Lun Dao" in his hand: "I can only answer you with two words: power! The Holy Temple has given me the right to compile the "History of Lun Dao". How about the "History of Lun Tao"? Editor, whether it should be complicated or simplified, I will decide on it alone. I am interested today and plan to accurately record the entire process of this Qinglian Taoism. Are there any questions?"

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wei Xinyu's back.

The remaining five people all had sweat on their foreheads.

It was not until this moment that they truly understood what it meant to come to Wenyuan Pavilion today.

This means that Zhang Juzheng, a tiger who easily avoids showing his fangs, has shown his fangs again!

He's taking revenge!

Moreover, he made no secret of it and directly stated his intention to retaliate.

Wei Xinyu slowly raised his head: "Master Zhang, Qinglian's discussion is of great importance to the reputation of all the masters. If Master Zhang wants to change the routine, it is natural, but I think it is best for you to ask your Majesty for instructions."

Zhang Juzheng's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean, Sir Wei? I have already said that the "History of Discourse on Taoism" is the power given to me by the Holy Temple. Does Mr. Wei hope that the imperial power will conflict with the holy power?"

Wei Xinyu's expression changed drastically: "I don't dare!"

The topic is deadlocked here.

Zhang Juzheng made it clear that this power was not given to him by the emperor, but by the temple. Even if the emperor was present, he could not change his decision.

"Since you don't dare, just listen to me honestly!" Zhang Juzheng's face darkened: "From now on, any words I say will not be repeated a second time. Those who answer questions that are not what they asked, or those who refuse to answer, will They all execute the holy punishment! The executioner of Wenyuan Pavilion appears!"

In silence, eighteen people appeared around Ban Dao Hall. These eighteen people were the executioners of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Recorder, prepare to record!"

Another person appears, ready to write.

Just nineteen phantoms appeared, and the entire Half Dao Hall completely changed.

Just now it was just a place for questioning, but now, it has become a torture hall, and everyone's backs are instantly wet.

Zhang Juzheng spoke slowly: "Wei Xinyu! In the first round of discussion, who will take the stage? How much Qinglian will each get?"

Wei Xinyu could only answer...

Da Cang and three people came on stage. Xie Yun got 3 green lotuses, Wang Chengcheng got 18 green lotuses, and Wang Junyu stopped talking midway and did not get the green lotus. In the first session, Da Cang got a total of 21 green lotuses.

Zhang Juzheng was furious. He knew that Lin Su would definitely not be included in the first round. Sure enough!

"In the second round of discussing the Tao, how much green lotus did everyone get?"

The second round of discussion...

Wang Chengcheng took 12 green lotuses, Xie Yun took 2, Zhou Hongyu...

Linsu 1 flower.

The entire Da Cang team had a total of 31 green lotuses in the second session.

Zhang Juzheng frowned: "Lin Suxun only got one green lotus from the Taoist Garden? Why?"

This was completely beyond his knowledge. He and Qu Wendong had discussed that the only chance for Da Cang to achieve such great achievements was to find the Taoist Garden in the second stage. Lin Su must have obtained an astronomical Qinglian, but now According to what Wei Xinyu said, Lin Su was actually the person who took the fewest green lotus flowers in the whole search process, only a mere one.

Wei Xinyu reported the truth about Lin Su missing the Taoist Garden.

Not to mention Zhang Juzheng's shock, the nineteen people watching were also shocked.

How dangerous is it to miss the Taoist Garden and be brought into the literary world by someone from the literary world who was personally caused by the Holy Son of the Holy Family? The literary world can imprison and kill people. Generally speaking, if a person enters someone else's literary world, if that person has the intention of killing him, death is almost certain!

Lin Su came out and "stuffed up Taoist remains"!

Although he only got one green lotus, the gold content of this green lotus was far greater than the hundreds of other people's green lotuses. They all knew how difficult it was to find lost things in the Taoist Garden.

Only when no one can solve a difficult problem for ten times can it become a "legacy"! With no choice at all, it is simply unimaginable to successfully answer a question that no one has been able to answer in ten Qinglian seminars.

He succeeded and captured such a precious green lotus.
