Chapter 260: Changes in the Righteous Song
【Civil rank: Jinshi (341358/1000000)】
Jinling is where the story takes place. The talent he obtained there is indeed much higher than that in the marginal areas. Two days ago, his talent was only over 40,000.
However, after Princess Nihuang chose a husband for him, he was rewarded with 100,000 talents. This made him suddenly realize that saving Princess Nihuang was also a chivalrous act and he should not be without talent.
However, even so, it is still not as much as what Duke Qing gave. Duke Qing is bringing disaster to the entire continent.
Of course, compared with Nihuang's importance, he is far inferior. Shen Qingzhou guessed that even if he did not take action, Princess Nihuang would not be in any danger. Otherwise, it is not just a matter of 100,000 talents, but the girl of destiny in this world.
This was also the premise for him to utter a line from the "Song of Righteousness". With these two hundred thousand, he could do a lot of things. He felt that he should be able to fight a small-scale battle with less than five thousand people. Even though he had done it once before, it consumed his savings of many years.
Now, he can do this with his talent alone. Good thing, good thing. He is more confident and motivated.
Shen Qingzhou was a man of integrity. The Duke of Qing and the people from the three ministries looked at him and the plaque behind him and felt upright and upright. Suddenly, they felt guilty and said goodbye and left in a hurry. Some ordinary people suddenly had more trust in Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Qingzhou took a look at the plaque. [Song of Righteousness] was worthy of being the name of this magical item he obtained. After saying this, he felt that he could instill talent, or righteousness, into everything in this government office.
The heaven and earth have righteousness, which is given to all things in various forms. The first sentence is easy to understand, and the second sentence means that it is given to all things and changes into various shapes, which means that all things are the embodiment of righteousness.
He definitely couldn't reach this stage. He felt that maybe if his literary status was upgraded to the extreme, he would be able to do all these things. All things in the world would be righteous. Could this be the master of the world?
Now, he can infuse the flowers, trees, tables, chairs and benches in the government office with his talent. In the moment just now, he had retained more than a thousand talents, and poured all the rest into this court.
This also fits the environment, and the effect of one plus one being greater than two is achieved. In this court, people with guilty consciences will feel uncomfortable and pressured. The powerful people just now all have this mentality.
Although some common people left with a guilty conscience, most of those who came to the court to watch the excitement felt that they had not done anything wrong and did not feel any pressure. However, because of their righteousness, they had more trust in Shen Qingzhou.
He could feel that his talent was now immense and could be poured into this government office, but he also sensed some consumption. The positive energy in these dead objects was also slowly dissipating, but the speed was very, very slow.
After the people from the three departments left, the government office was closed. Shen Qingzhou was doing an experiment with a piece of jade in his hand. Talent could be infused into objects and transformed into positive energy. So, could he use this method to store positive energy and increase endurance? There was another possibility. If it could be stored, in the future, if someone took his calligraphy and paintings to attack an opponent, could the energy be directly extracted from the storage tool instead of being consumed directly by himself?
Before, it seemed like they were attacking from a distance, but in reality, they were just consuming him, which was a huge benefit to him.
His previous way of accumulating talent was to keep writing poems and carry them with him, but this was a bit cumbersome. Now, "Song of Righteousness" only has ten words, which is a big change.
There was still a trace of lines on the jade in his hand, but as Shen Qingzhou used it, the jade became smooth and flawless, and turned pure white. Shen Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then his mind moved. The plaque dimmed a little, but the beautiful jade became a little brighter. This was Shen Qingzhou drawing out the talent he had just emitted. It was a good thing that he could draw it back.
After observing the jade for a while, he felt excited. The jade retained its positive energy and would hardly be damaged. Or, in other words, the damage was extremely slow. There were many things he could do.
He had tried a lot during this half day and found out that jade was not able to store talent infinitely. For example, the piece in his hand could store 170,000 talents, and it could not hold even a drop of it. However, he did find an interesting thing. By constantly infusing himself with talent, the quality of the jade could be improved imperceptibly. Naturally, the jade would be able to store more positive energy.
He also discovered some things, such as the stone lion in front of the government office, his own gavel, the government office's plaque, and the law tablet he brought from Tanzhou. These things carried much more righteousness than ordinary objects. Perhaps, they were also objects that represented righteousness.
He also tried it and found that the bamboo shape or bamboo itself can carry much more positive energy than other numbers.
The increase in his talent did not mean that his recovery would be much slower. Although it was slightly slower than before, he could still recover about four times within a day.
Righteousness cannot be seen or touched unless Shen Qingzhou uses it. But on this day, many people saw the government office and felt inexplicably disgusted or trusting. And if you observe carefully, you can find that the stone lions, the drums, and the law stele are all a little shiny, not dull like stone.
Shen Qingzhou washed the entire government office twice in one day. Every blade of grass and every tree had positive energy, so there was no need to worry about pulling out the grass and trees. As long as it was not completely consumed, it would return on its own.
Although nothing can store as much positive energy as jade, there are too many things in the government office. Once they are dispersed, they will seem insignificant. What's more, we can't just look at the quality, but also the weight. The stone lions and the law stele can definitely store more than 500,000 positive energies. They are too big.
Shen Sanyang had already taken the beautiful jade out of the city for use, and returned in the early morning. Shen Sanyang's skills had greatly improved. He had used the sword energy technique engraved on his scabbard by Shen Qingzhou so freely.
Shen Qingzhou could also sense it in the government office. This time, he did not consume any of his own energy. However, when Shen Sanyang was using it, he could indeed sense it and could stop it at any time.
On this day, the Shen family business received a top-secret order from Shen Qingzhou to collect beautiful jade. Shen Qingzhou has never been interested in these things, but he has a request. The people in Shenjia Village are the happiest. They all know who is in charge and are afraid that Shen Qingzhou will not do anything.
The case of Duke Qing was concluded too quickly. Normally, the Ministry of Justice would have to review the case, but Shen Qingzhou had already made it an ironclad case, so anyone who wanted to cause trouble would be unable to do so.
Prince Yu already knew what Emperor Liang was thinking, so he naturally wouldn't challenge the national policy. But deep down in his heart, he was wary of Shen Qingzhou. He was capable, but he didn't use his abilities for his own benefit. Humph.
The way and speed at which this matter was resolved surprised even Mei Changsu, the person who planned it. Although things were developing in the direction he hoped, there was still one goal that had not been achieved. This time, Prince Jing had no place to use his talents.
However, Emperor Liang already knew that Prince Jing was neutral, so this was the only way. Mei Changsu really couldn't have imagined that Shen Qingzhou was not afraid of offending anyone at all.
