Wang Ying became famous overnight and was admired by tens of thousands of people.
But Liu Shen was reviled by others and could only live in the shadows.
It would be impossible to say that there was no psychological difference.
However, this did not affect him in the slightest.
A scholar's reputation was more important than his life.
In order to revive the Great Zhou, he had long abandoned his reputation and carried the reputation of being a crafty sycophant. He was the selfless person.
Such a person would no longer be affected by his personal emotions. He quickly adjusted his mentality and began to discuss serious matters.
"That's right. Zhu Tianlin died. Although it wasn't Ye Qing's original intention, Emergence Gate will definitely not let it go. When the news reaches Emergence Gate, with the immortal sect's personality, they will definitely not let Ye Qing off!”
Ji Mingyue was worried.
She was still thinking that perhaps Ye Qing could not sleep at this moment.
However, he did not know that Wang Ying was heartless and had long fallen asleep.
"There are two ways to save his life!”
Liu Shen's seemingly turbid eyes flashed with a bright light.
He had an idea.
"Oh, what method?"
Ji Mingyue revealed a look of joy.
Liu Shen was always so reliable. He did not say any unnecessary nonsense and directly proposed a solution to the problem.
"First, let Wang Ying sully his reputation like this old minister and join the ranks of the treacherous party. He will also take the initiative to express goodwill to the Celestial Gate and be willing to be their lackey.”
Liu Shen said slowly.
"That's not possible. Although I haven't interacted much with Minister Ye, I can already see his character in the throne room today. He's upright and hates evil. He views the Celestial Gate as the source of trouble, so how could he give in to the Celestial Gate?”
Ji Mingyue smiled bitterly.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this method.
However, just as he thought about it, he rejected it.
For a person with Wang Ying's personality, it was a fool's dream to expect him to do such a thing.
"This old official also thinks so. Wang Ying has a proud character, otherwise he wouldn't have said that since ancient times, everyone has died. He left a poem like 'The Heart of Loyal Spirit shines through the annals of history' that has been passed down through the ages…A person like him can be killed, but he can't lower his head.”
Liu Shen took a deep breath, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
A person like Wang Ying was really hard to hate.
Those who were righteous would treat him as a benchmark.
"In that case, there's only one way.”
Liu Shen's eyes gradually became serious as he spoke in a low voice.
"If he can't beg for mercy to survive, then he can only become strong, so strong that it will be difficult for the immortal sects to kill him!”
" How can he be so powerful that the immortal sects can't kill him…" Ji Mingyue frowned. Wasn't it the same as saying nothing? But suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said in disbelief," Sacred Institute?!"
He thought of a place.
"It's the Sacred Institute!"
Liu Shen's eyes revealed a look of reverence.
The Sacred Institute was the place where the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had lectured, the sacred land of the Confucian Sect, and the white moonlight in the hearts of all scholars.
Unfortunately, it had already been sealed by the immortal gate.
The Sacred Institute was sealed, and the scholarly atmosphere in the world was reduced by half. The Confucian scholars lost the possibility of advancing, which was why they gradually declined.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that the Sacred Institute's mountain elder once said before he died that as long as the righteous energy in the world remains, the Sacred Institute will not be destroyed. It may be reduced to a state of decline for a while, but it will not be reduced to a state of eternal decline…It is only waiting for one person who can control the Confucian Sect and absorb the righteous energy of the world into his body. He is selfless, benevolent, and fearless of life and death!”
"You have great perseverance and courage!"
"If this person comes out, the Sacred Institute will definitely be unsealed!”
Liu Shen's eyes flickered with a bright light.
This time, it had nothing to do with the court. It was just a scholar's hope for the Holy Land to reappear in the world.
"The person the Sacred Institute's Mountain Elder is talking about is probably similar to the ancient sages.”
Ji Mingyue smiled bitterly.
"Saints only exist in books. When have they ever appeared in the world? Could it be that Xiang Liu felt that Wang Ying was comparable to a Saint?”
The Sacred Institute was the place where saints taught.
Then, the Sage would naturally be able to undo the seal of the Sacred Institute.
But the problem was, how harsh was it to become a Saint?
He had to have great perseverance, courage, and great achievements. Whether it was his own recuperation or his own talent, they had to reach an unprecedented level!
Only such a person could possibly become a Saint.
The Confucian Sect had existed for countless years, and only a few Saints had appeared in ancient times to create the Confucian Sect.
After that, there were no more Saints. At most, they were quasi-Saints or Half-Saints.
Ji Mingyue felt that Wang Ying was already very good in both talent and character, but he did not think that Wang Ying had already reached the level of an ancient sage.
That would be too difficult.
It was almost impossible!
"Even if he has no way to undo the seal of the sacred academy, as long as he passes the test, he would still be able to obtain great benefits. Back then, this subject was favored by the late emperor and was lucky enough to enter the sacred academy to take the test. He broke through three levels in a row and obtained a hundred years of accumulation of literary qi, allowing this subject to improve greatly.”
"If Wang Ying can break through the 5th Gate and above, his strength will soar.”
"If he can break through the seventh stage, it won't be so easy for the immortal sects to kill him!”
Liu Shen said very conservatively.
This was because the Sacred Institute was a very special place. What the Confucian Sect disciples could gain in the Sacred Institute depended entirely on their own luck.
He couldn't guarantee that Wang Ying would survive after entering the Sacred Institute, but at least he had a chance.
"However, if you can't pass the test, your courage will be shattered and your body and soul will be destroyed!”
Ji Mingyue said hesitantly.
Any test was a double-edged sword. It was impossible for there to be only benefits and no harm.
"The test of the sacred academy is a test of one's heart. Even if a righteous person fails, the consequences wouldn't be too bad. Only those with evil intentions would have their courage shattered. Could it be that your majesty has no confidence in Wang Ying?”
Liu Shen looked at Ji Mingyue with a smile.
"Or could it be that His Majesty is unwilling to use the Great Zhou's national fate to open the Sacred Institute for Wang Ying?”
Ever since the Sacred Institute was sealed, it was no longer a place where one could enter as they wished.
Each emperor could only send one person in.
This was because every time the Sacred Institute was opened, it would consume national fate.
Only those scholars who were truly trusted by the king could obtain this precious opportunity.
Whether it was talent or character, there were extremely high requirements.
After all, in the current Great Zhou, the fate of the country was too important.
So, was Ji Mingyue willing to part with it?
Ji Mingyue considered for a moment and finally made a decision.
