Chapter 276: On the Right Track
"There's nothing wrong with believing in gods?" Tang Zhichuan frowned even more, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "Go on."
"People believe in gods because they have something to rely on in their hearts. With faith in their hearts, they can live their lives with hope and will not be decadent and hopeless."
Song Jingyun said loudly, "Belief in gods will also cause fear in the heart. When people have a fearful heart, they will not dare to touch many things, thus avoiding many disasters in the world."
"That does make some sense." Tang Zhichuan nodded again, "But this way, it will be taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives."
"Indeed, but there is nothing perfect in this world. If you want to enjoy the benefits, you must also pay some hard work."
Song Jingyun smiled and said, "As you said, since these things can easily be used by people with ulterior motives, why don't we just act like these people with ulterior motives and get things on track in advance, which will be twice the result with half the effort."
Getting it on the right track...
Hearing this, Tang Zhichuan was slightly startled, then he laughed, "Well said, what's your name?"
"My name is Song Jingyun." Song Jingyun replied.
"It turns out to be Song Huiyuan, the winner of this spring's imperial examination." Tang Zhichuan was a little surprised, and then he burst into laughter, "No wonder he has such an opinion."
"Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment." Song Jingyun bowed respectfully.
Tang Zhichuan smiled again and looked at Chen Shuming beside him, "What about you? What's your name?"
The scholar just now did not put all the responsibility on Song Jingyun, and he was obviously an honest and prudent person.
Chen Shuming was flattered at this moment, and hurriedly bowed respectfully, "My Lord, I am Chen Shuming."
Song Jingyun, Chen Shuming, very good.
Tang Zhichuan raised his hand and said, "It's getting late, you guys go in."
"Yes." Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming both saluted again, and then followed Tang Zhichuan's instructions and followed the other tribute scholars forward.
Tang Zhichuan stayed there for a while before slowly walking up to Zhao Chunmao.
Without waiting for Qin Zhichuan to speak, Zhao Chunmao took two quick steps, his expression serious but with a hint of expectation, "Sir."
Tang Zhichuan put his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, "Zhao Gongshi is not afraid of the world. I think in order to pursue the right thing in his heart, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of delaying his so-called future."
"Your Excellency is right." Zhao Chunmao was still righteous and awe-inspiring. "I have always been indifferent to life and death, honor and disgrace, and I believe that loyal officials are not afraid of life and death. To be honest, if I lose my future or even my life because of my words and deeds today, I will not regret it at all. On the contrary, I will be proud of what I did today, because I have spoken the most loyal words for the country. My loyalty is witnessed by the sun and the moon!"
"Loyal ministers are not afraid of death, that's right." Tang Zhichuan nodded slightly, but his brows were tightly knitted, "But if loyal ministers just speak out without knowing how to protect themselves, wouldn't it mean that all loyal ministers will die and treacherous ministers will take over? If that happens, what should we do?"
Zhao Chunmao obviously did not expect Tang Zhichuan to say this, and had never considered such a question, so he was stunned for a moment.
After hesitating for a long time, he recovered a little and said hurriedly, "There are tens of thousands of loyal ministers in this world, who have fought bravely one after another. How could they all be slaughtered? Moreover, if the world has really reached this point, then..."
There is no need for loyalty and service anymore.
