In the long river of history, there was an official known for his incorruptibility. He lived in a turbulent era when the officialdom was dark and corruption was rampant. However, he always adhered to his principles, remained unmoved by fame and fortune, and was solely dedicated to seeking well-being for the people.

 

This official was named Li Zheng. He was born into an ordinary family. Since childhood, he had read widely and had great aspirations. He was deeply aware of the hardships of the people and was determined to become an honest official and uphold justice for the people. After years of hard work, he finally obtained official ranks and embarked on his official career.

 

Since becoming an official, Li Zheng has always adhered to the principle of integrity and public service. He did not covet money or pursue power but only wanted to do practical things for the people. He often went deep into the people to understand their needs and solve practical problems for them. His reputation for incorruptibility was widely spread among the people, and everyone was full of respect and love for him.

 

However, Li Zheng's incorruptibility aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of his colleagues. They believed that Li Zheng's existence threatened their interests, so they began to 排挤 and frame him. His colleagues spread rumors everywhere, slandering Li Zheng for embezzlement and abuse of power. They also reported him to higher officials, trying to bring him down.

 

Li Zheng was in a difficult situation. His reputation was severely damaged, and the higher officials also began to have doubts about him. He felt very wronged and helpless, but he did not give up his principles. He believed that as long as he had a clear conscience, he would be able to overcome difficulties.

 

Lianzhen Star Lord in the celestial realm had always been paying attention to the affairs on earth. Renowned for his integrity and incorruptibility, he had long heard of Li Zheng's reputation for incorruptibility. When he saw Li Zheng in a difficult situation, he decided to test his loyalty and integrity. Lianzhen Star Lord exerted his immortal power and transformed into a mysterious person who appeared in front of Li Zheng.

 

The mysterious person was wearing gorgeous clothes, holding a precious sword, and had an extraordinary temperament. He said to Li Zheng, "I heard that you are an honest official, and I admire your conduct. I can give you a large amount of wealth and power as long as you give up your principles and cooperate with me." When Li Zheng heard the words of the mysterious person, he was shocked. He didn't expect someone to test him at this time. Without hesitation, he refused the mysterious person's proposal and said, "I would rather live in poverty all my life than violate my conscience."

 

The mysterious person did not give up. He continued to persuade Li Zheng, "Don't be so stubborn. In this world, power and wealth are the most important. As long as you cooperate with me, you can have everything. Why would you give up your future for those illusory principles?" Li Zheng firmly said, "My principles are the foundation of my life. I will not give them up for anything. I believe that as long as I adhere to my principles, I will surely be blessed by heaven."

 

The mysterious person was moved by Li Zheng's firmness. He knew that Li Zheng was a true honest official, and his loyalty and integrity were impeccable. Lianzhen Star Lord revealed his true form and said to Li Zheng, "You are a person worthy of respect. Your loyalty and integrity deeply impress me. I will help you get out of the predicament and let your reputation for incorruptibility spread throughout the world."

 

Lianzhen Star Lord exerted his immortal power and cleared Li Zheng's name. He also let the higher officials understand Li Zheng's true situation and rewarded and promoted him. Li Zheng's reputation for incorruptibility spread throughout the world and became a model in people's minds.

 

From the test of Lianzhen Star Lord, we can deeply understand the brilliant radiance of Taoist thought. Taoist thought emphasizes governing by non-action and advocates that people should follow nature and not overly pursue fame and power. In Li Zheng, we see the concrete manifestation of Taoist thought. Unmoved by fame and fortune, he adheres to his principles and is solely dedicated to seeking well-being for the people. This spirit is precisely the embodiment of governing by non-action advocated by Taoist thought.

 

Taoist thought also emphasizes the importance of morality. It believes that a person's moral character is the foundation of his being. Only by having noble moral qualities can one become a true person. In Li Zheng, we see the power of morality. His loyalty and integrity enable him to adhere to his principles in difficult situations and remain unmoved by fame and fortune. This moral power is precisely the embodiment of the supremacy of morality advocated by Taoist thought.

 

In real life, we also often face various tests. We may encounter temptations, difficulties, and setbacks. But as long as we are like Li Zheng and adhere to our principles and remain unmoved by fame and fortune, we will be able to overcome difficulties. We should believe that the power of morality is infinite. As long as we insist on being a moral person, we will surely be blessed by heaven.

 

In short, the test of Lianzhen Star Lord is a story full of wisdom and inspiration. It makes us deeply understand the importance of Taoist thought and also provides us with valuable references in real life. Let us take Li Zheng as an example, adhere to our principles, remain unmoved by fame and fortune, be a moral person, and make our own contributions to the development and progress of society.
