After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Hahaha..." General Cheng laughed like thunder, feeling extremely happy. "You are quite good, this poem is really appreciated by me!"

He instinctively ignored the fact that the author of the poem mentioned by Fang Ping was a heroic figure like himself.

In his opinion, the idea of ​​the soul traveling to another world was pure nonsense.

This was clearly done by this guy himself!

These two poems expressed the loyalty of the civil and military officials to the court. All the ministers in the hall were staring at Fang Ping with extremely fiery eyes.

Including Emperor Yong himself.

"Cough..." Emperor Yong coughed unnaturally.

Fang Ping immediately understood and bowed deeply to Emperor Yong before saying, "A virtuous and capable emperor will live forever in history. The country will be peaceful and the people will live in happiness, and his wise ruler will be praised for thousands of years." (From Baidu, the original sentence is "The Zhenguan era will live forever in history!")

The Yongchang here is the reign title during the reign of Emperor Yong!

After hearing this poem, Emperor Yong's face was full of smiles.

He said that Fang Ping was really clever. If this poem were to spread throughout the world today, his reputation as a wise ruler would surely be passed down through the ages!

"Ahem...um, are we still giving the topic?" the Chief Censor asked softly. With just one topic, three poems came out directly.

Loyal ministers, famous generals, and wise rulers, they are all here!

So can this proposition be asked yet?

"Come out, my dear ministers, please feel free to do as you please. I also want to know how many poems do you have in your collection, Mr. Fang?" Emperor Yong put away his smile and said in a deep voice.

Everyone present in the hall: ...

Oh my, just with one poem, Fang Qing came out!

However, since Your Majesty has spoken, there is no need for us to be restrained!

Today I must test Fang Ping's true level!

Chief Censor: I have been away from home for many years and have not returned, so I think of homesickness as my theme!

Fang Ping: [The moon shines brightly before my bed, looking as though it were frost on the ground. I look up at the moon, and I look down, thinking of my homeland!] (Li Bai, "Quiet Night Thoughts")

Chief Censor:...Shocked!

Minister of Rites: The imperial examination is coming soon, so I will encourage the scholars all over the world with poetry!

Fang Ping: [To escape from worldly affairs is not easy, hold on tight to the rope and do it. Without enduring the bone-chilling cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so fragrant?] ("Song of the Instructions in the Classroom" by Zen Master Huangbo)

Minister of Rites: ...Shocked!

"Without the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so strong?" The Minister of Rites kept thinking about this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sentence is indeed a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!

Everyone present was shocked by Fang Ping's style of writing poetry without thinking.

The stipulated time is one stick of incense, but in reality, people only think for a moment, and every poem is a famous quote from ancient times!

Is this something that ordinary people can do?

And what he said about his soul traveling to another world and thousands of poems entering his mind made them feel that this was the immortal poet who had come to earth!

Only the immortal poet could have the possibility of his soul traveling to another world!

Otherwise, why don't they have it?

This shows that they are just ordinary people.

But Fang Ping is the real immortal poet!

There was a hush in the hall.

Everyone looked at Fang Ping with eager eyes!

The literary world of Dayong has the help of the Immortal Poet, so what is there to fear from the Northern Barbarians?

Emperor Yong was overjoyed: "Fang Ping, come forward and receive your title!"

Fang Ping was bewildered and confused. After kneeling on the ground, he finally realized what Zhong Ning had reminded him of: "Your Majesty, the story of my soul traveling to another world is indeed true!"

Yes, we all understand!

You are the immortal poet who has come down to earth. Your soul is not traveling to another world, but revisiting your old place!

Everyone's eyes were burning with excitement, and they achieved a strange harmony!

Seeing that no one believed him, Fang Ping continued, "When my soul was traveling through another world, I glimpsed multiple figures from afar. I know that I am not the only one who has this opportunity, so I am explaining this to you. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Emperor Yong:........

All the ministers present: .......

What? There are also people who are gods descending to earth?

"Fang Ping, you said you were in the fairyland, and did you meet other people?" The Minister of War asked first.

Fang Ping:.......

Uh? Fairyland? What fairyland?

Isn't that another world?

"Sir, that's not the fairyland, that's a different time and space, a parallel time and space equivalent to our time..." Fang Ping tried hard to explain.

The Minister of War waved his hand and said, "Oh, yes, it's an alternate time and space, not the Immortal Realm. Then who did you meet in the Immortal...alternate time and space?"

Fang Ping:............

"I only saw a figure from afar, but didn't see his face. What I meant was that I know these poems, and those who have been to this world must have seen them, so..."

"Who didn't you see?" Prime Minister Gu Ming asked. "Fang Ping, you need to think about this carefully. This is a matter of vital importance to the revival of Great Yong!"

Fang Ping:........

Hey, he just wants to get a vaccination in advance, why is it so difficult?

"This kind of opportunity to travel to another world is not available to ordinary people. The knowledge that people who enter this world can learn is also different." Fang Ping really had no choice but to start talking nonsense.

"That makes sense! Could you please explain in detail what the situation is like in that immortal...otherworld?"

"I, a humble commoner, just happened to enter the library while my soul was wandering in another world. I was obsessed with poetry and prose and didn't care about anything else!" Fang Ping explained.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but he can’t talk about democracy and equality in front of Emperor Dayong, right?

It's not like he's tired of living. If he said this, he would probably be covered in blood on the spot.

"Never mind. Since you were able to travel to another world once, perhaps there will be a second chance in the future. If you have this opportunity, you must remember to look carefully to see which other gods have descended to my Dayong to experience the tribulation!"

Emperor Yong finally gave the go-ahead for this matter, but Fang Ping felt his scalp tingling when he heard it.

Well, it’s the fairyland again.

The gods came down to earth to experience tribulations.

Following Lord Xiao Fan, he also became a poet.

I just hope that no more time travelers will come to this world, otherwise if his identity as a plagiarist is exposed on the spot, that would be real trouble.

Fortunately, I have already explained in advance that these poems were what he saw when his soul traveled to another world. If they don’t believe it, there is nothing I can do.

Emperor Yong's voice rang out again: "Fang Ping is truly a young prodigy. I hereby exempt him from the imperial examinations and enroll him in the Jixian Hall of the Hanlin Academy. He will be granted the title of Hanlin and receive a salary, and he will be allowed to serve before the emperor!"

No need for imperial examination?

Receive the title of Hanlin and receive salary?

Why do I feel like I've heard of this official before?

It seems that Li Bai was this official.

Seems like a sinecure?

What grade is it?

Fang Ping thought about this and couldn't help but mutter, "What rank is this?"

The Minister of Rites explained, "Your main duty is to accompany His Majesty at banquets and entertainments. When you become a Hanlin scholar, you will be promoted to the fifth rank."

This means that this official is only responsible for accompanying the emperor in enjoying the scenery?

Oh, this is simply his dream lover!

What he wanted most was a job where he didn't have to do any work and could still get paid.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Ping was overjoyed, as if he had won a million dollars.

The other adults present were speechless when they saw this scene. It was unexpected that a mere Hanlin scholar could be so happy.

This kid has never seen anything good!
