“A divine dog?!”
The Military Judge was stunned by the words of the City God, revealing a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Sir, you…”
“Does Mister Xu think that the City God’s judgment is incorrect?”
The Civil Judge looked at his colleague as if he was a fool.
He remembered that when this fellow came here with the Law Field, at the sight of the mighty aura left by the Top Scholar at his old residence, his face showed shock and surprise.
Apparently, this fellow had some self-awareness, realizing that his suggestions were pointless, but he actually wanted the City God to take action personally, who knows what he was thinking.
A mere domestic dog that has reached enlightenment, why should the City God use his profound power, and clash against the powerful aura left by the Six Dominant Scholar.
Not to mention the clash, even if the City God would sustain some injuries, without the protection of the aura, in the future, who would take responsibility if anything happened to the Feng Family Residence?
This fellow actually wanted to commit an act that clearly offends people and wouldn’t please anyone.
“The City God’s words are certainly correct!”
The Military Judge had to admit that he had never seen a dog that could hide in an aura and avoid ghosts, but even so, it couldn’t change the fact that
“However, this dog has reached enlightenment and is living with mortals. If one day it harbors malicious intentions, how can the lives of those mortals be guaranteed?”
Having no fear of the mighty aura, he could acknowledge that this dog was indeed a Spirit Beast, but even Spirit Beasts have incidents of harming people, the most critical point being that the ones who raised this dog were all mortals, lacking any means of resistance.
He couldn’t tolerate the occurrence of a situation where the lives of mortals were at risk due to the whim of this different creature, even if the probability of such an event was extremely low.
If it was a cultivator, he might be able to tolerate it for the time being, but there were hundreds of households in this village, and he didn’t see even one cultivator. As for the God of Land in this village, well, he wondered how long it could hold out against this dog, which turned into a demon before the age of half a year.
“A domestic dog that has gained enlightenment due to the Top Scholar’s aura, how can it possibly harm people?”
The Civil Judge immediately responded.
In his view, this dog must have been nurtured by the Top Scholar’s aura, which enabled it to open up its spiritual intelligence and transform into a magical creature.
Most creatures of this kind are rather friendly towards people. As long as you guide them properly, they can indeed transform into Spirit Beasts that protect homes.
“What if such a situation really occurs?”
The Military Judge persisted with his question.
“We will thoroughly investigate the past of the injured party. Every effect has a cause. Anyone injured by this Spirit Dog is bound to be a person of great wickedness!”
The Civil Judge answered without hesitation.
“A sycophant!”
The Military Judge glared, swearing.
How could there be an assumption that the injured party would be a wicked person? This event he assumed hasn’t even happened yet, and he’s already made a conclusion.
“A stubborn and foolhardy person!”
The Civil Judge also sneered in response.
“Enough! Both of you are my left and right hands, this argument is not fitting.
The matter has been decided, there is no need to dispute.”
The City God of Yongning timely opened his mouth to stop the argument. “Sir, are we really going to leave this dog alone?”
“If the Military Judge is worried, you can personally come here regularly for inspections ! ”
The City God replied.
“Fine!”
The Military Judge nodded in agreement immediately.
Seeing this, the City God didn’t say much. With a gentle wave of his wide sleeves, his vast divine power turned into a gale, carrying the judges, night guards, and past yin officials to Yongning County.
After returning to the Law Field of the City God, all the yin officials dispersed.
“Sir!”
The Civil Judge caught up with the City God.
“What’s the matter, Mr. An?”
The City God of Yongning responded with a pleasant expression.
“I would like to ask the City God about a few things!” “Are you wondering about that mighty aura?” “Indeed, the City God truly has an astute observation!”
The Civil Judge complimented.
“You don’t have to be so obsequious, seeing you like this truly confirms what Xu Wupan said about you being sycophantic.” The City God laughed.
“These words come from the bottom of my heart!”
“Ha, that mighty aura is indeed extraordinary. Even though I know a bit about this year’s Top Scholar, I was really surprised today, let alone you.”
The City God of Yongning didn’t dwell on it much, but switched topics to talk about that mighty aura.
“Sir, five years ago, the world-renowned Confucian scholar Liu Huai passed through our county, and I, hearing the news, went to take a distant look, he truly had a mighty aura that would ward off all evils.
But I feel that even this world-renowned Confucian scholar, the mighty aura he possesses, can’t compete with that in the residence of the Top Scholar.”
The Civil Judge voiced his confusion. He was a civil servant in his previous life, and a disciple of the Confucian School, and because of this, he knew very well how extraordinary the Top Scholar who left this bot of aura was.
“Even though he is the sole Six Dominate Scholar of the era, isn’t this aura a bit…
In the end, the Civil Judge couldn’t find a suitable description.
“Too different? Not quite what a mere Top Scholar should have.”
The City God of Yongning filled in for him.
“Exactly, the Top Scholar is not even fourteen years old this year. When I was fourteen years old, I was contemplating writing a poem of love for my crush!”
Talking about this, the Civil Judge showed a bitter smile. At the same age, compared to this Top Scholar, no, there was no need for comparison at all.
“Hahaha, youthful love, it’s only natural. And this Top Scholar, one cannot gauge him with my experience, he is not ordinary.”
“I ask for the City God’s guidance!”
The Civil Judge respectfully asked for advice, his curiosity was killing him, and clearly, the City God knew something.
“You think the Top Scholar of this year’s imperial examination got the honor of being the Six Dominant Scholar by being favored by the chief examiner, by being favored by the current emperor?” The City God of Yongning suddenly asked.
“Isn’t it so?”
The Civil Judge asked with some confusion.
The imperial examination is an important means for Da Jin to select talents from the public. The first three stages of the imperial examination, the county exam, the Prefecture Exam, and the Imperial Examination, if one devoted their mind to their studies, studied hard, and had a solid foundation, nine out of ten would pass.
But the situation begins to change from the city examination. After passing the city examination one becomes a successful candidate in the provincial examination and can become an official. Because this is the selection of officials by the court, your ability to govern is also examined, and there is much to say about this.
Therefore, smart candidates, when they reach this level, tend to use their connections, spending money to find out about the main examiners’ political views, speeches, preferences, and even the memos they submitted recently.
The final stage of the examination, the palace examination, need not mention, by this stage, at the worst one might become an Advanced Scholar, but the key here is the candidate’s ranking.
And this ranking is, nominally, decided by the emperor alone. Of course, the emperor wouldn’t be so idle, he would generally pay attention to the first class ranking, hence gaining the favor of the emperor would be extremely important.
Whether one’s essay is well written or not seems not very important at this time. If someone has a handsome appearance, even if his literary talent is a bit inferior, he could still be included in the first class ranking by the emperor. On the other hand, because of ugliness, being kicked out of the first class by the emperor has happened before.
In short, the ability to get first in the final three stages of the imperial examination is not determined by one’s literary talent..
