Chapter 004: To be a great official
Lin Liu is a life-saving person, since he knows who the mastermind behind the scenes is, he naturally won't be arrested, unless the other party can let him travel back to the modern era, so he has been thinking about a way to crack this matter recently.
In the past half a month, although Lin Liu has been lying in bed to recuperate, he has not done nothing, he carefully recalled the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions" and found a very subtle thing.
Whether it is the police illusion fairy girl or a monk, they don't seem to dare to touch it in person or leave anything in the house of the powerful, only Xue Baochai got a prescription and a golden lock in the whole play, even the actor Jia Baoyu does not have this treatment. But what kind of family is the Xue family, it is said that it is the four major families, but in fact, it is also a merchant, and it is not good for the golden lock to end up with the Jia family.
Lin Liu had heard someone inadvertently say in his previous life that the people who are officials and scholars have the protection of Emperor Wenchang, the god in charge of the merits and fame of the scholars, and the bigger the official, the stronger the protection, and the more beneficial it will be to relatives.
Originally, Lin Liu didn't take this seriously, after all, no one in his society had ever seen gods and demons and monsters, but everyone held the idea that they would rather believe it if they had it or not, and they would not lose a few catties of meat anyway, and they would believe it occasionally when they needed it.
But now Lin Liu doesn't see it that way.
Think again.
Although Xue Baochai's father did not clearly say how long he died, Xue Pan was only two years older than her, and Xue Pan's temperament should have been without a father and no one to teach him when he was a child.
The monk came out with a golden lock, saying that he wanted to pick up a jade to match.
And Lin Daiyu's father is a salt patrol, Lin Daiyu went to Beijing when he was six years old, and it is speculated from Xue Baochai's fifteen-year-old birthday that Lin Ruhai died when Lin Daiyu was about ten years old.
When he was three years old, a monk came together and said that Du Lin Daiyu became a monk.
This seems to have no connection, but they are all the women who are most involved with Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai enjoys absolutely different treatment from Lin Daiyu, think about Jia Baoyu's temperament, this monk is completely pushing Xue Baochai into the fire pit.
Thinking of this, and then there was a large array covering the entire Gusu City, Lin Liu somewhat believed what he had heard by chance in his previous life.
This person who is an official and a scholar may really have the protection of Emperor Wenchang.
Wenchang is the general name of the six stars in the sky.
In the "Astronomical Chronicles", it is said that "the six stars of Wenchang, in front of the Beidou Kui, the six mansions of the sky, the main collection of heavenly dao." ”
And the emperor is an honorific title for the superior of the gods.
Not all immortals can be called emperors.
And Emperor Wenchang's boy is "deaf in the sky" and "dumb on the ground", which is also a character who is too awesome to do.
The deaf and dumb earth are the greatest divine heavenly father and earth mother in the beliefs of ancient farming peoples.
The earth carries all things and gives birth to all things, which is the foundation for human survival, life and reproduction, so the ancient ancestors especially worshiped the earth.
Influenced by the matriarchal clan society in the early days of farming, people took the meaning of the earth to give birth to all things, as the mother of all things, and called this god born from the worship of the earth "mother earth". The Heavenly Father is a male god born after the emergence of a patriarchal society. The ancients regarded the sky as the yang and the earth as the yin, believing that the combination of yin and yang can give birth to all things. Therefore, ancient myths say that the Father and the Mother Earth were married, and the heavens covered the earth and rained down on the earth, causing the Mother Earth to conceive and breed all things.
Therefore, the ranking of this Wenchang Emperor in the heavenly realm is only under the Jade Emperor, according to Lin Liu, there are now Wenchang Palace, Wenchang Pavilion or Wenchang Temple in all parts of Zhongguo, among which the Wenchang Palace in Qiqu Mountain, Zitong County, Sichuan Province is the largest. Some rural academies and private schools also worship the statue of Wenchang or the god seat, although it has risen and fallen from time to time in the past few hundred years, but because of the article order, the noble and lowly system, so it has been enshrined. Moreover, the third day of February every year is the birthday of Emperor Wenchang, and the local government and local literati have to go to the temple dedicated to Emperor Wenchang to worship, or recite poems and compose, and hold the Wenchang Meeting.
This Emperor Wenchang is definitely not the vigilant fairy girl who does not dare to show up, and he can be compared with a monk who acts secretly.
As long as Emperor Wenchang is picked up, the police illusion fairy Gu and others will not be troubled.
However, Emperor Wenchang is a real immortal, not those charms, how can Lin Liu and a mortal be stammered?
There is a way!
Work hard to conduct scientific research, work hard to be a big official, and then use the power in your hands to vigorously develop the faith of Emperor Wenchang, so that Emperor Wenchang's incense continues.
Take people's money to eliminate disasters for people, and the gods are no exception, if you eat too much of Lin Liu's incense, this Wenchang Emperor always has to protect Lin Liu!
Even if this Emperor Wenchang is unreliable, it is also beneficial for Lin Liuguan to become bigger, and if he provokes Lin Liu, he can use the power in his hand to arrest the monk and click it away, no matter how powerful the magic power is, it can't withstand the musket, and the immortals are also people. Although Lin Liu may not be able to bear the consequences, this is all a trick to press the bottom of the box, and Lin Liu will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
All in all, whether it is for his own life or future, this is a must to be an official, and Lin Liu has to work hard to be a big official.
The first step of becoming an official is also said, there are those who were born in the imperial examination, those who were favored by their ancestors, those who spent money to donate to officials, and those who directly signed up to join the army.
Lin Liu knew that as long as he was strong, he could walk out of any way, and the first step of the three model governors Tian Wenjing, Li Wei, and Ortai officialdom during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty was all through the back door, and they were not from normal backgrounds at all.
But Lin Liu also knows in his heart, not to mention that he knows that his brother Lin Ruhai was born in the imperial examination and is also a tanhua, even if he doesn't know, in the case of Lin Ruhai's disobedience, most of the Lin family's resources and connections will definitely supply Lin Ruhai, not him, the concubine, and the Lin family is a civil servant, if he wants to be motivated and become a big official, he can only fight his way out of the imperial examination.
Lin Liu is not disgusted by this, he is not a child with the mind of an adult, and he has been mixed in society for several years, he knows the importance of connections. In the case that the Lin family will not provide him with much help in the early stage, the imperial examination is a place that can allow Lin Liu to quickly accumulate a large number of contacts, in ancient times, this society is not fun in the same year, it has the potential to form a big force.
Closing the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Lin Liu picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips of tea, his expression was a lot more relaxed, Guy Yin ...... He doesn't have to make up for historical common sense on the sly.
As for the decades since the founding of Zhongguo, there is naturally no such thing in the books, but Lin Liu feels that he can't ask others about this matter, so he can only wait to ask Daddy Lin in the future, fortunately, he is only four years old now, and some mistakes will not make people suspect anything.
