Chu Tianxiu was in the empty chamber, and finally took a deep breath, reminiscing about the tempting copper smell that the treasure chest once emitted.

This box of silver has nothing to do with me!

He sighed gloomily and finally left.

...

Chu Tianxiu came to Yu Yuan's study.

Li Yu said that she went to call Li Kangnian, a disciple of the Li family, and asked them to exchange their experience in the palace.

Li Kangnian once participated in the palace exam, and it is always good to know the rules and understand them.

He waited in Li Yu's study, while curiously rummaging through the simple books on the table.

Speaking of which, these days in the Pingwang Mansion.

On the first day, he was busy abducting Zu'er and running away from home, and when he came back, he was busy writing a self-recommendation letter, and then these days the papermaking is even darker, and he didn't look carefully at Li Yu's study at all.

This study is very atmospheric, the screen landscape beauty admires the peach blossom picture, and the ground is covered with a luxurious animal skin carpet, which is inhumane.

Everywhere there are exquisite and atmospheric ceramics, and the complex patterns on them are all nitpicking-level craftsmanship.

The glass eight-treasure lampstand on the table flickered with candlelight, the incense table was sandalwood, and a burst of incense wafted from time to time, and the faint fragrance hit people.

On the walls of the study are bows and swords, as well as some horsewhips, saddles, and other riding objects.

Originally, I thought it was just an ornament of the Pingwang Mansion that was still martial arts.

But if you take a closer look, these bow and sword tools are quite old, and they are engraved with words such as "Lord of Danyang", "Yu", "Zu'er", "Di'er", "XX year" and so on.

Only then did Chu Tianxiu realize that the county lord Li Yu, Zu'er, and Di'er, they seemed to have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they were good at riding and archery and swords.

I don't know how strong their combat power is.

On the innermost side of the study, against the wall, is a bookshelf, which is stacked with thick stacks of bamboo slips and various colored silk scrolls.

Although the "little dusk marquis" can read and write, he doesn't like to read very much, and he was forced to learn some by Mr. Private School when he was a child.

Therefore, he does not have much memory in his memory about the content of the brief books of this era.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but be quite interested, and paced to the bookshelf.

He knew very little about the Great Chu Dynasty.

In addition to knowing that this Great Chu Dynasty is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Hongmen Banquet accidentally killed Pei Gong, and unified the princes of the world, and was established, there is very little knowledge in other aspects.

Books are undoubtedly the most efficient way to learn about this dynasty.

Chu Tianxiu took out a large silk scroll from the bookshelf, opened it, and it was actually a pair of "Topographic Maps of the Great Chu Dynasty" drawn by the ancients, which was half a zhang long and wide.

A large area in the north is marked with "Xiongnu", including Longcheng (the place where the Xiongnu sacrificed to sweep the ancestors of heaven and earth), Juyan, Shuofang (the old land of the former Qin, which was the Xiongnu), Yanzhi Mountain and other places.

The northwest corner is the Western Regions countries "Da Yue, Loulan, Qiuzi, Dawan".

The northeast corner is "Xianbei, Wuhuan" and so on.

The largest piece in the middle is marked with "Great Chu Dynasty", bordering the Xiongnu in the north, the South China Sea in the south, the plateau in the west, and the East China Sea in the east.

The dense cities in the territory are all over the Great Chu Dynasty, and they look prosperous and prosperous.

The capital of the Great Chu Dynasty is in the Imperial City of Jinling, in the lower reaches of the Great River.

Below Da Chu, there are several small pieces in the south, which are small countries such as "Nanyue, Yelang, Dian State, and Ailao".

In general, it can also be seen that the surrounding situation of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

Chu Tianxiu knew a little about ancient maps.

This topographic map is obviously a military version, which marks the barracks stationed at the border gates, the garrisons in various places, and the places where foreign troops are stationed.

This kind of military map is very difficult to access unless it is a major minister in charge of military aircraft.

Only a lieutenant like Li Rong can have such a military map.

There is such a highly confidential military map in the study of the county lord Li Yu, and she is practicing the art of military aircraft?

It's just that the size of the map is very different, and it can't be compared with modern accurate maps.

With his eyes closed, he was able to draw a topographical map of ancient China that was more accurate than this.

Chu Tianxiu rolled up the scroll of "Kanyu Topographic Map", and took bamboo slips from the bookshelf casually, and flipped through them in his hands.

On the bookshelf, there are "Poems", "Yi", "Shu", "Li", "Spring and Autumn", as well as "Sun Tzu", "Liutao", "Grip Qi Jing", "Yin Fu Jing" and other bamboo slips of the pre-Qin era.

It's not a Confucian classic, it's a military classic.

It seems that Li Yujun is a master who majored in the doctrines of "Confucianism and Soldiers".

"Poetry?"

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but groan.

To be honest, he knew that Jinling City was full of Confucian students, and the Pingwang Mansion also respected Jia Sheng, a private school. But it is really not too clear how high the status of Confucianism was in the Great Chu Dynasty.

I remember that in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhongshu completed the hegemony of Confucianism, "Poems" was listed as the five major classics of Confucianism by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was renamed "The Book of Songs".

"Poems" and "Book of Songs" seem to be one word apart, but they are completely different statuses. The former is only a famous ancient book of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the latter is one of the five great classics of Confucianism.

The bamboo slips on this bookshelf are quite new, and they should have been recently copied.

But it is still in the name of "Poetry", this small detail can be inferred in turn to prove that the Confucianism of the Great Chu Dynasty has not yet developed, and has not completed the hegemony of Confucianism.

Chu Tianxiu felt a little bit in his heart.

"The imperial historian Kong Hanyou, ranked in the third duke. This guy can't be the grandson of Confucius, the head of the Confucian family in Qufu, right? ”

"Gotta stay away from this guy... If he succeeds, the two thousand years of hard work in the future generations will cry when they memorize the Confucian scriptures... Those candidates, will they scold me for not stopping him? ”

He muttered.

At first glance, the bamboo slips on the bookshelf on the wall in the study seem to have a lot of books, but in fact, they add up to less than ten books.

A roll of bamboo slips with dozens of bamboo pages is very bulky, and it will be sour when you hold it in your hand for a while.

There is a faint paper on the desk, spread out on the desk, and Juanxiu's ink pen writes a line of small characters like a dragon flying and a phoenix:

"Poetry": Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island. My Fair Gentleman, Lady. ”

Chu Tianxiu's brows suddenly jumped.

Yu'er actually dared to tamper with the verses and tease him like this on paper!

It seems that if she doesn't find a chance to train her, she will turn the world upside down sooner or later.

At this moment, a young man sounded outside the door of the study, wearing a thick wind-blocking hat, and his respectful voice sounded: "Dare to see my uncle!" ”

Chu Tianxiu saw that outside the door, there was a young and heroic young man standing bowed, who should have been practicing swords all year round, and he was quite martial arts.

Chu Tianxiu immediately beckoned him into the study, pointed to the stool, and asked him to sit opposite him.

"Ahh I sit down? ”

Li Kangnian put down his hat and thick jacket at the door and entered the warm study, obviously a little stunned when he heard the words, and his expression was restrained.

Although he sat down in the seat obediently, he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and he felt flattered.

"As a descendant of the Li family of the Ping Wangfu, why can't you let go like this?

In front of my little dusk, he is so restrained.

In front of the emperor, aren't you so scared that you can't stand still! It's strange that the emperor will choose you as an official. ”

Chu Tianxiu was strange.

"Uncle... You're kidding.

Dare Nian is just a small side branch of the Li family, attached to the main branch of the prince, and relies on the main line for honor and disgrace all his life.

relied on the king's gift and recommendation to get the opportunity to participate in the palace examination.

Uncle, you are the little marquis, the husband of the county lord, it is already a great grace to give me a seat, and it is naturally sincere and fearful to dare to be young.

When I saw the emperor, how could I stand as a commoner, I could only kneel and see the face of the sky, which was an honor that I had several times in my life. ”

Li Kangnian said bitterly: "Actually... Dare to have a little doubt in his heart, I waited for the juniors to participate in the palace test and ask for nothing more than to be an official, and the most respected thing to be an official is nothing more than to worship the three princes one day. Those who worship the three princes can be crowned marquis and shade three generations of descendants.

Fenghou, this is just the beginning of your birth.

You are a little marquis, and starting is the ultimate dream of our unattainable.

The descendants of you and the county lord are the main lineage of my Li family, the hereditary prince. Why do you still have to participate in the palace examination and become an official? ”

It is difficult for them to understand the thoughts of Chu Tianxiu, a natural little marquis, who are struggling to find a career and find a good way out.

Chu Tianxiu sighed.

If it weren't for being yin by the emperor, he was demoted to a son-in-law and put a tight spell on himself.

He had already called his friends and friends, pulled the other three major gentlemen in Jinling, and went to the Qinhuai River to enjoy himself, so he didn't bother to ask about the palace.

Now, the old faint marquis is comfortable, and he doesn't care about anything. As long as his son is born, he will be a little prince, and the family business of Pingwangfu will be squandered, and he will be very comfortable in the future.

Only his son-in-law was caught in the middle, which was very unhappy.

Now in the palace, there is a father-in-law above who suppresses himself and does not dare to make a mistake, the second lady puts a cold face to see that she is unhappy, Yu'er is in charge in the middle, and Zu'er and Di'er are close below.

Finally, the private money that made thousands of taels of silver from papermaking was not covered yet, and it was completely collected by Yu'er, and there was not a single copper plate left.

If you don't go to be a big official, let the palace know how powerful you are, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him, the son-in-law, to turn over.
