The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine

Hearing the five words "Wen Liang Gong Jian Rang", Wen Liuli's head suddenly raised up. She was very familiar with these five words, because her brother Wen Gongliang's name came from these five words, which mean the five virtues of Chinese Confucianism.

The so-called five virtues of Confucianism are gentleness, kindness, modesty, frugality and courtesy, which are five noble virtues.

In the world of immortality, there is no such thing as Confucianism, and naturally there are no five virtues. Ji Xian actually wrote poems based on this. Wen Liuli almost mistakenly thought that Ji Xian was also from Blue Star.

But judging from his expression when he heard me recite the four lines of Hengqu, it was obviously the first time he heard that passage. This is quite interesting. Obviously, this gentleness, courtesy, and humility is Ji Xian's own opinion.

"Your Majesty, the so-called gentleness, kindness, modesty, frugality and courtesy are the five virtues that are the foundation of being a human being."

"The virtues of the five elements are accumulated within, and sometimes they are revealed and seen on the outside..."

Since Ji Xian was able to write it, he naturally had some unique insights into these five words. His words also made Tang Zhentian and others nod their heads repeatedly, and they looked at Ji Xian with some appreciation.

This person can be of great use!

"You are right. People should be gentle, respectful and modest. You deserve to be the champion today!"

After a while, Tang Zhentian smiled and then said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am unworthy of being the champion today."

However, after hearing this, Ji Xian bowed to Tang Zhentian with a bitter look in his eyes.

As he spoke, Ji Xian glanced at Wen Liuli intentionally or unintentionally. He knew that if Wen Liuli also participated in the competition today, he would not be able to climb to the top of the mountain with only those four lines of Hengqu.

"Oh? If you're not the leader, then who are you?"

"I think that the princess is the best today. Although she did not participate, her poem has awakened millions of people. I am ashamed of myself."

"Oh? Ah Li girl, what about you? What do you think?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhentian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Wen Liuli. In fact, he knew that what Ji Xian said made sense, but this made him pay more attention to Ji Xian, because this man reached the top but did not take credit for it. He fully understood this humble attitude.

"Um...Your Majesty, you know that I am not a student."

Hearing this, Wen Liuli twitched his lips. Why are you dragging me into this again? If I had known earlier, I would not have shown up and let Lao Bai kill that man with one sword.

"The title of champion should go to Ji Xian."

"Hey, I find his gentleness, courtesy and modesty very interesting. How about you explain it to me and see what you think about it?"

The person who spoke was not Tang Zhentian, but Tang Zongluan who was sitting at the top. He liked Wen Liuli more and more. Today he gained some knowledge. First, Wen Liuli's poem warned the scholars in the world, and then Ji Xian proposed to be gentle, respectful and humble. This made this seemingly boring climb to the top more interesting.

"Haha, I also think that Wang's wife should have some unique insights. Why don't you tell us about it?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianling also hurriedly spoke. Not only him, but even Kong Xueli from Huang Academy nodded repeatedly and set his eyes on Wen Liuli, wanting to see what Wen Liuli could say.

However, Wen Liuli felt bitter about this. After thinking for a moment, she stuffed the candy in her hand into her skirt, slowly stood up, walked forward, and bowed slightly to Tang Zhentian and Tang Zongluan.

"Since Grandfather Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Wen want to hear it, I will tell you my humble opinion."

"In fact, Ji Xian has explained it very clearly about being gentle, kind, respectful and modest. However, I don't think it is entirely true to say that being gentle, kind, respectful and modest is the foundation of being a human being."

"As for being a good person, I think one should also be kind, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy."

"Loving others is the core, which is considered benevolence; respecting the virtuous is the core, which is righteousness. Etiquette is the definition of benevolence and righteousness, wisdom is the expression of benevolence and righteousness, and faith is the long-lasting and constant law of the world..."

“So, I think that being a person cannot be summed up in just five words: gentle, kind, respectful, modest and yielding.”

Following Wen Liuli's lengthy speech, everyone present was speechless. They already felt that Ji Xian's words about being gentle, kind, respectful, humble and modest were quite reasonable. However, Wen Liuli then brought up the concepts of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, which undoubtedly made the word "being a human being" even clearer and more understandable.

After Ye Buzhi had been waiting for a long time, Tang Zongluan slowly came to his senses, stretched out his hands, and started clapping in the air.

"Pah pah pah pah~"

Hearing Tang Zongluan's applause, everyone present came to their senses and raised their hands. Even Ji Xian had never expected that what he thought was actually a little superficial. Compared with the princess, he really felt ashamed.

Obviously, they all agreed with what Wen Liuli said.

How could a poor student like Wen Liuli know so many things? She might not be able to say anything else, but when it comes to gentle, respectful and modest words, she can say that she has heard them since she was a child.

No matter how poor your learning ability is, you will naturally understand it if you listen more.

In fact, she still didn't say it completely. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and behavior are the five constants, and gentleness, kindness, respect, humility and modesty are the five virtues. They are all important concepts in Chinese culture and have a profound impact on people's thinking and behavior.

In addition to the Five Constant Virtues and the Five Virtues, there are also the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth; the Five Grains of Rice, Wheat, Millet, Beans and Sorghum; the Five Flavors of Sour, Bitter, Sweet, Spicy and Salty; the Five Tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu; the Five Colors of Blue, Red, Yellow, White and Black; and the Five Internal Organs of the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung and Kidney. If Wen Liuli really wanted to talk about them one by one, she could probably talk until dark.

"I am grateful for your advice."

It was not known how long it had passed before Ji Xian slowly came back to his senses and bowed to Wen Liuli. Once upon a time, he had always believed that among the younger generation of Donghuang Kingdom, perhaps only King Wen Tang Tianling could truly be considered a talented person. But now it seems that the world is so big and he still has a lot to learn.

For example, what Wen Liuli said today, whether it was the Four Sentences of Hengqu or the later benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, all benefited Ji Xian a lot.

As the saying goes, there is no end to learning, and there is still so much I need to learn.

"Haha, you don't have to be so modest. I just saw a little more."

In response to this, Wen Liuli just smiled faintly. In fact, all the things she said were just what she heard from others, but Ji Xian learned the gentleness, courtesy, and humility on his own. If we really talk about the most powerful, it has to be Ji Xian.

"Your Majesty, Grandfather Emperor, I am not a student, so it is better for Ji Xian to be the champion."

"Haha, you are right. Let's do as you say."

In response to this, Tang Zhentian and Tang Zongluan both nodded. In fact, there was no need for Wen Liuli to remind them that the title of champion would never be given to Wen Liuli. It was not because she was unworthy or because she was a woman, but because of her identity.

If even people from the court and the royal family participated in this competition, it would be unfair to these students.

Apart from other things, Tang Tianling and Kong Xueli, two great writers, are still here. If even Wen Liuli can participate, can they also participate? Then Ji Xian will fall halfway up the mountain.

This is an opportunity for these poor students, how could it fall on the head of a princess? What is the point of her taking the top spot?

Wen Liuli was well aware of this, and besides, she really didn't want to be the leader.

She can only recite a few poems. If we really talk about literary talent, any educated person at the foot of the mountain can be better than her.

"Ji Xian, listen to my orders!"

After a moment, Tang Zhentian slowly stood up, looked at Ji Xian below and spoke.

"Now there is Ji Xian, who is extremely talented and knowledgeable. I hereby appoint him as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonial Affairs. He will take up his post in the Ministry of Rites on a certain day!"

"Your humble servant Ji Xian, thank you for your grace!"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard about this official position. You know, the Langzhong of the Ceremonial Department is a fifth-rank official, in charge of ceremonies, military ceremonies, academies, imperial examinations and other matters. Moreover, officials of the fifth rank can attend court meetings. It can be said that Ji Xian has reached the top in one step at this moment.

These matters of appointing officials obviously had nothing to do with Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli. They didn't care what kind of official position others held. They only cared about their own little piece of land and didn't ask about anything in the court.

After Ji Xian finished conferring the reward, Tang Zhentian and Tang Zonglun stood up and began the ceremony of offering sacrifice to the sky.

This ceremony is also one of the purposes of their coming to Nanshan Mountain, to pray for the health of the people of the world.

Tang Zhentian and others have never believed in these things, but this is to pray for the people of the world, so they are very happy to do these things. Regardless of whether God really exists, at least they have done it. If God can really see their prayers, then please make this winter a little warmer to prevent the people of the world from suffering again.

Even if God cannot hear or see, things are in the hands of man. We still have to do what we should do. What we are doing now is just by chance.

Although Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu did not care about the affairs of the court, they would naturally not be constrained by such a thing that would benefit the people of the world without any harm, and they cooperated devoutly in praying.

The so-called kneeling to heaven, kneeling to earth, and kneeling to parents, Wen Liuli also knelt sincerely for the first time after coming to the world of immortality.

In addition to her, everyone else present did the same, kneeling on the ground sincerely to show their piety.

After the prayer was completed, everyone shook off the snowflakes on their bodies and stood up with smiles on their faces.

But at this time, a bitter expression appeared on one person's face.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

Seeing the change in Wen Liuli's expression, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but frown. He kept his mind on Wen Liuli the whole time, so he naturally knew that Wen Liuli was not in a bad mood before praying, so why did he put on a bitter face after kneeling for a while?

Was it because of the kneeling? Then I'd better not bring her into such matters in the future.

Praying to God for blessings does not depend on her alone, it does not matter whether she is there or not.
