Chapter 298 How Many Selfish People Are There



Here is the order from the Immortal Lord.

I am afraid that everyone, even the following students, must walk in front of this monument.

"Okay, I believe in what Lord Fang is thinking." Li Shimin nodded, made way, and looked forward to it.

Fang Xuanling was born into the Qinghe Fang family, also a noble family. However, he followed Li Shimin for more than ten years and was deeply trusted by him. At least when Li Shimin was still alive, Fang Xuanling's position was not that of a purely noble family.

In his heart, he must care about this world to some extent.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling took a step forward.

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, he recalled the past, took a deep breath, and recited loudly: "Student Fang Xuanling, today I swear in front of the immortal tablet that what I seek in this life is to establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

As soon as the words fell, the monument of conscience in front of him suddenly burst into purple light.

No, it's purple lightning.

A bolt of lightning burst out from the bottom, but it only moved within the white jade stele and continued to swim upwards like a swimming dragon. The higher it went, the slower its speed became. When it was more than half the distance, it seemed to have reached its limit and slowly dissipated.

Then there was no movement.

Everyone understood.

This monument of self-examination does not mean that if you have the answer, you will pass it; if you don’t, you will be rejected.

Rather, it examines the degree of determination.

Obviously, the higher the lightning rises, the closer it represents one's inner aspirations, and the closer they are to the sentence above.

After realizing this, some people don't know whether they should be happy or sad.

Under this monument of conscience, there is no possibility of concealing one's true inner aspirations.

"More than half of them, you are worthy of being my beloved minister." Li Shimin was even happier, and then looked at the others, "Lord Fang has already demonstrated, what are you waiting for?"

After hearing this, not only the others became nervous, but even Fang Xuanling became even more nervous.

In this way, it is not a difference between too much and not too little.

It's the difference between strong and weak.

He may pass half of the test, but if everyone else can pass half of the test, then his assessment will be a complete failure.

final.

The others knew they couldn't escape, so they could only move forward.

One after another.

Take an oath in front of this monument and recite these four sentences.

Some people can also get more than half, such as Du Ruhui and others.

There was also an imperial censor who walked forward confidently, and after he finished speaking, he rushed straight to the three-quarters of the way, leaving the others stunned. Looking at this imperial censor, although his official position and ability were not prominent, he was indeed known for his incorruptibility and uprightness.

"Good, good!" Li Shimin was overjoyed and immediately promoted this person two levels.

And this man still looked normal. Official position and fame were not that important to him.

Wei Zheng, on the other hand, although also famous for his incorruptibility, was only half as high as Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin did not seem disappointed, but instead praised him.

However, with such surprises, there will also be disappointments.

Another imperial censor stepped forward timidly. After he finished reading, there were only a few sparks of electricity at the bottom. Not to mention Li Shimin, even all the officials were stunned.

This censor always talks about peace in the world.

"Come here, take off his official uniform and throw him into jail. This is outrageous, outrageous!" Li Shimin looked furious.

The Monument of Integrity was given by the Immortal King. The meaning of crying out for injustice is to question the Immortal King.

This is much more serious than his selfishness as an official and his lack of concern for the rest of the world.

In the end, he was just dragged away without any resistance.

And this scene.

Thousands of people watched.

I don’t know where to start.

There was a burst of applause! Most people didn't understand what this meant at first, let alone the meaning of the words on the stone tablet, but now they basically understand it.

In front of this monument of conscience, those who shine with lightning and thunder are good officials who serve the country and the people.

Those with dim lightning and thunder are bad officials! Countless people knelt down and kowtowed to the immortal-given tablet in front of them. Some elderly people cried bitterly and said that there would be no more corrupt officials in the world. Some even shouted that they wanted a certain official to come to this tablet to have a look.

There were also various reactions among the students.

Some had pale faces and kept retreating as if they wanted to escape from here, some had happy expressions and looked eager to try, and some were silent and moody.

This scene was seen clearly by Shen Yi and Ding Xiang.

"Before I became a savior, I had read some novels." Shen Yi said slowly, "The world has a great and righteous spirit. Only those with a great spirit in their hearts can master this power. Now that I think about it, maybe some worlds really have this special spiritual power."

"If there is, the development of that civilization will be completely different from normal civilization." Ding Xiang said softly, "Even now, the impact of this monument on this civilization is unimaginable. Even Ding Xiang cannot predict it."

"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded.

This tablet of conscience is actually very cheap. After all, its principle is just to read people's emotional fluctuations.

If someone really deceives himself, or his will is twisted into a wrong path, it will be difficult for this method to be effective.

For example, if someone truly believes that destroying the world is for the sake of the country and the people, then he or she will be able to pass the test of the Monument of Integrity.

Maybe the score will be surprisingly high.

Therefore, it is hard for Shen Yi to say whether the influence of this monument of conscience on this civilization is definitely a positive one.

However, at least in the early stages, it can enable most of the leaders within this civilization to have the same goal or wish that is beneficial to the development of civilization.

Then Shen Yi’s goal was achieved.

now.

Almost all civil officials walked around the Monument of Integrity, but military officials did not have to do so. After all, this was an interrogation of the scholar's self.

The results are naturally both good and bad.

Li Shimin still gave some face to the aristocratic families. Except for some extremely bad ones, or those who held high positions but had little sense of serving the country and the people, who were dismissed or demoted, Li Shimin did not take any action against most of the aristocratic family officials as long as they were acceptable.

They also roughly understood what the height of the lightning on this monument of conscience represented.

If the height of lightning is more than half, it basically means that what you are thinking about is mainly for the country and the people. If it is less than half, it means that other things are more important than the people and the safety and prosperity of the world.

Except for a very small number of people from aristocratic families, most of them are below half.

Li Shimin also felt quite sad in the end.

There are so many selfish people.
