Chapter 167: The Man in the Story
Guan Sheng and Yan Luo did not expect that Su Yang would resign.
Favored by Emperor Guan Sheng and having the experience of acting as an agent of Yan Luo, Su Yang's career in the insult will be smooth sailing in the future. Emperor Guan Sheng is optimistic about him, and the new King of Yan Luo Li is optimistic about him, but with this kind of future, Su Yang will no longer do it.
"If you continue to stay in the underworld, I can make you the leader of the corps in ten years."
King Li of Yan said to Su Yang.
The Lord of the Imperial Department is truly a high position in the underworld, and his father-in-law is the King of Wheels, Su Yang can call the wind and rain in the underworld.
"Life has dreams, and each one is wonderful."
Su Yang had already made up his mind. He had experienced what Yan Luo felt. The leader of this department could not keep him at all. From the beginning, Su Yang wanted to travel all over the green mountains and people were not old, and the green mountains and clear waters were always free.
"well."
When Yan Luo heard this, he sighed and said, "The great virtues and wise men have always been in the position of the court, and there are no lucky positions in the court, and there are no wise men left. But when I come here, the twenty-four masters of the underworld are all as slippery as oil. It is rare that there is a wise man who will leave after turning his hands. The Jade Emperor asked me to be the position of the Hell, but I am afraid that I will find the wrong person... Well, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it, but you must hold this thing."
King Li Zi took out a jade plaque from his arms and handed it to Su Yang, saying, "You are here to represent Yan Luo, and have offended many evil ghost officials. Even if you are close to the Wheel King, there are always some incomplete things. With this token, the evil ghost will not dare to offend you. In the future, when you walk in the world and encounter some unjust mistakes, you can also use the city god's land."
Su Yang took the token handed over by King Yama with both hands, the size of a palm, with patterns on it from the fifth hall, and the words "Yan Luo Ling" were painted in the middle.
"Thank you, Yama."
Su Yang put the token in his arms.
"The Emperor Guan Sheng, the position of Qingyun Mountain City God is short of people. You happen to be in this world. We might as well do a small assessment and choose three people with excellent moral character. After taking the exam here, we will be able to decide on a Qingyun Mountain City God. If you fail the exam, you can also change it when the exam is in the big exam."
Yan Luo said.
The Wudu Passing Ring is very high, and there is a group of people who want to be officials below, but the position of City God needs to be assessed. If you want to decide a City God, you must be evaluated by the heaven and the underworld and jointly assessed in order to determine the Yin God of the County.
Guan Sheng nodded and agreed naturally.
"If you want to have an assessment, I will choose one."
Su Yang said: "I chose Lou Yuan, the current Daicheng God of Qingyun Mountain. He is a local scholar in Qingyun Mountain. He has both excellent character and academic performance. He is a rare good seedling. When I was in Qingyun Mountain, I focused on cultivating him and recruited him as a student. Since ancient times, I have recommended him to evaluate him. Whether he succeeds depends on the ruling of Guan Sheng and Yan Luo."
The City God Temple in Qingyun Mountain can be said to be Su Yang himself, and all the civil and military judges were selected by himself. Su Yang did not want to hand over the City God Temple to others, but put it in Lou Yuan's hands. Su Yang felt that according to Lou Yuan's character, the City God Temple could operate stably and protect the peace of the people in the area.
As for whether Lou Yuan can pass the exam, it depends on his own ability. Su Yang wrote to him early and mentioned this matter implicitly, but he just didn't know whether he had worked hard recently.
Anyway, his virtue is enough.
"Can."
Guan Sheng and Yan Luo both agreed to Su Yang's recommendation.
Yan Luo ordered the record again. Wang Mei looked through the life and death book and selected two people with great fortune and wealth and virtue. He sent a secret message to invite him, and then discussed with Guan Sheng how to evaluate.
"I have been in Fengdu Ghost City for two days and learned about the ghosts in the Yin positions of Fengdu Ghost City. They are all two sides, one face in front of others and one face behind them. After taking the Yin positions, relatives and friends will inevitably ask you to do things, or because of your position, they will do many bad things intentionally or unintentionally."
Yan Luo said: "The power of the Yin position can help others, and its power can harm others. How to apply divine power depends on the person who uses the power. If you want to evaluate it, you should focus on this point."
Su Yang nodded secretly when he heard this. This is indeed a drawback for thousands of years, and there are so many articles written around this.
"In this way, you might as well set the topic as one person or two, with intention but not."
Emperor Guan Sheng said.
Um?
Su Yang's eyes were a little confused. It turned out that he had really integrated into this world before he knew it.
One person or two, with heart but not.
This is the title in the first chapter of "Testing the City God" in the Chinese Studio. Why is there such a test for the City God? It is because "Henan lacks a City God."
Why is there one less city god in Henan? Because of the position of Su Yang.
After such a roundabout way, Su Yang realized that he had become a character in the story.
Guan Sheng Emperor and Yan Luo set the title and called the Master of the Fifth Hall. This time the article was also a knock on the twenty-four Masters of the Underworld, so they were to beside them. Su Yang also sat in the Master of the Master, looking at the three tables placed in the Hall of Yan Luo.
When Su Yang records his work log on weekdays, after getting off work in the underworld, the day in the underworld is the day in the world. At this time, Guan Sheng and Yan Luo are both here and there to take the exam for the City God, and the time is also the day in the world.
After sitting for a while, all three candidates who came to take the exam came.
One of them was Lou Yuan. He entered the hall with Yinchao and looked around. He saw the masters of the Yinshi, Yan Luo, the judge, and the Emperor Guan Sheng sitting here. He quickly sat upright and quietly looked up, and saw Su Yang sitting in it.
After Lou Yuan settled down, two other candidates also came, one of them was Song Tao, a student in Zibo, and the other was Zhang Yong, a scholar from Changshan County. These two people were the protagonists in the original "Chathunhuang" chapter.
Song Tao came to the hall and looked up and saw some officials sitting in the hall in front. Most of Song Tao didn't know him, but he knew the only one above Guan Sheng Emperor.
After the three of them came together, they secretly took down the three test papers.
One person or two, with heart but not.
All three of them took out their brushes and started writing articles. All three of them were talented and learned, and they were also from specializing in topic-setting essays. When writing articles at this time, they were very skillful. They all turned their opinions into words and wrote them on the test paper.
After a while, the articles of the three people were finished. I accidentally collected the articles of the three people and took them here for you to circulate them.
Su Yang sat in the crowd, so he naturally had the opportunity to circulate. In a short while, an article was circulated in front of him. This was done by Zhang Xiucai. Zhang Xiucai's book article, which describes one person and two people as individuals and groups, and is intentional and unintentional as guides and followers. It is also a good article. Unfortunately, it is a mistake to test the true meaning of the City God today.
After savoring it in my heart, I handed the article to the master of the post.
After a while, Song Tao's article also came over. Su Yang took it. After reading this article, Su Yang couldn't help but praise the exquisiteness.
Confucianism has the saying "A gentleman is cautious in solitude", which means that when a person is alone, one should be more cautious. Therefore, the one person and two people written by Song Tao is in front of others and behind others, with a heart but not intent, which means that there is a heart of repayment. In this article, there is a famous saying "If you have the heart to do good, you will not reward even if you have good intentions, you will not punish even if you have evil intentions." This kind of intentional good deeds means that you do good deeds with the intention of getting rewarded. Even if you do good deeds, the underworld will not give you rewards.
It’s like a certain woman who is extremely beautiful but has a poor family. So a landlord helps the woman’s family to get rid of poverty and get rich, and lets the males in the family study. This is considered a good thing, but the landlord is not pure at the beginning and can get a beautiful woman, but he has no merits in the underworld.
The same is true for those who pretend to be charitable and conceal their misconduct.
If you do evil without intention, even if you don’t punish the explanation, it is much simpler. It is because some people’s unintentional things never disgusted, and the consequences of things that lead to evil will not be punished even if something evil happens.
This article is in line with the things in the books of the sages and the wishes of the officials. Therefore, the officials are smiling and soon handed over to King Yama and Emperor Guan Sheng.
Finally, the officials frowned and passed the articles around Su Yang.
This is what Lou Yuan did.
One person and two people are clear in terms of public and private self, and separate the public and the daily self. If you have a heart but not intent, you are kind-hearted and selfish, and you have been a city god in the past. Lou Yuan’s writing is sharp and his words are all pointed at the incisiveness, and he inadvertently hit the pain of many officials. Although there is no such thing as "If you have the heart to do good, you will not reward good, you will not punish evil, you will not punish evil even if you have the heart to do evil, but you will not punish evil even if you are evil, but you will not be punished even if you are evil. However, this one is more selfish than Song Tao's article.
After reading it, Su Yang handed the article to the next master of the Ministry. After reading it, he handed it over to Yan Luo and Emperor Guan Sheng to judge.
Guan Sheng Emperor and Yan Luo King Li judged the article on it. After reading the article, they exchanged some opinions and set the ratings in their hearts.
"Yama."
The master of the picket secretary stood up and said, "The three articles, Lou Sheng's writings are too strange and dangerous, not the right theory of the saint, but what Zhang Sheng wrote is the current situation in the world, and it is not hindered by the underworld. However, Zhu Sheng's writings are beautiful, so he should be the city god."
After saying this, all the officials below are in line with each other.
"Why is it not a sage's reason to be selfish?"
After hearing this, Yan Luo said, "The public and private distinction are clear. It is exactly what you need to separate the public and the public self and the daily self... Lou Yuan, there is one less county magistrate in Qingyun Mountain, Henan, would you like to be?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Yuan stood up quickly, knelt down in front and was banned, shouting: "I'm willing."
Yan Luo nodded and passed all the City God items that Su Yang had just returned to Lou Yuan, and instructed Lou Yuan to distinguish between public and private affairs according to what the article said, clean his mind at all times to eliminate his personal selfishness.
Lou Yuan naturally obeyed Yan Luo's words.
At that moment, a ghost sent Song Tao and Zhang Yong to his home together. Lou Yuan was granted the title of Yan Luo and truly became the fifth hall master of one of the ten palaces of Yama. He just sat in a sedan chair from Fengdu Ghost City and went to Qingyun.
As for Su Yang, he had quietly left after Lou Yuan set the position of the City God.
"There are flowers and wine and spring are always there, and there are no candles or lamps to brighten the night..."
