Chapter 1: The Boy
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting, although I did not see the ice, but into the north of the winter moon, the weather is getting colder day by day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the eastern capital of Luoyang, also called Jingluo, from the Xia Dynasty three thousand years ago this is the ancient capital city, after the Xia, Shang Zhou, Warring States Spring and Autumn Period.
Until today's Han Dynasty, since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he has once again become the middle of the world.
Dahan is located in the middle of the region, the territory is vast, the country is in the four directions, and the people of the dawn are hundreds of millions.
By this year, four hundred years had passed in the Han Dynasty.
This year is the 400th anniversary of the Han Dynasty's dominance in the world.
"The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?" A young man, Lang Jun, was muttering to himself, but shook his head again.
The memory in the young man's mind, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor was unreasonable, the court was corrupt, man-made disasters and natural disasters, the Han Dynasty collapsed overnight, and the Kyushu Dynasty was finally divided into three pieces, and the Three Kingdoms began.
But looking at the current situation, it can't match the memories of the past.
The emperor has no way? The reigning Han Emperor today is Emperor Ling. This Majesty the Spirit Emperor is not synonymous with Wudao, on the contrary, this Spirit Emperor His Majesty is a great man of martial arts in his hands.
Emperor Ling's respect for saints, Confucianism, and a hundred schools of thought have been formed, forming the three major academies of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou Lumen Academy, Yanzhou Yingchuan Academy, and Qufu Academy in the north.
Martial arts, Emperor Ling formed the eight captains of the West Garden, the Beiping Karasuma Xianbei, the Qiang Dog Rong in the West Town, and the Barbarian Shanyue in the south.
It can be said that it has really played the prestige of the big man.
There is no sign of the death of the country.
Of course, whether it is Han Xing or death, it is all distant and ethereal for the young Lang Jun now, and his top priority now is to read the book of the sage and enter the road of the imperial examination, so that it is possible to get ahead, so that it is possible to fulfill his wish.
His surname is He, he should have been the son of a butcher, but unfortunately this butcher has been promoted, and step by step he has become one of the generals of the three princes of the dynasty by virtue of his strength.
Under the rising tide of this status, this person's ambition is different, and his vision is different, although there are bad wives who cannot be bullied, but in fact, who can care about the grievances of a country woman.
He Huan's mother is also an understanding person, knowing that her husband is prosperous, but she does not harass him, but takes their only son to stay in the small mountain villa and wants to live a peaceful life for a lifetime, who knows that in the end, the peaceful life is still broken.
"Hedong Wei family!" He Harmony is full of hatred, after his father Tengda, he married a woman from the Hedong Wei family, long and orderly, although he He Harmony is not the son of the He family, but his mother is a wife, it stands to reason that he is the eldest son in the real sense, but unfortunately the mother He Zhang has never thought of fighting.
But if you don't fight, it doesn't mean that others don't think nonsense, in order to eradicate the troubles of inheriting the He family after He Huan, the eldest son of He Huan, the eldest lady of the Wei family, took action.
He Hui clearly remembered that the **** mother was seriously ill, He Hui searched all over the city for pharmacies, but no doctor was willing to help He Hui treat his mother, and finally a doctor from You Fang opened a pharmacy, but He Hui still couldn't find the medicinal materials to buy.
I could only watch my mother go away under the torture of illness.
Later, He Hui learned that on that day, the entire pharmacy in the city was ordered not to treat a single bit, and the same medicinal materials were also bought by a generous man.
The spearhead of all this kind is directly aimed at the Wei family, who is a high-ranking and powerful person among the big men.
"Wei family, Mrs. Wei!" He Huan's whole person was wrapped in an emotion called anger, and the huge hatred had enveloped him, and his original gentle appearance became hideous.
He wants to get justice for his mother, and he didn't fight before, because his mother told him not to fight, and now that his mother is gone, no one can stop him from fighting.
"General He Jin!" He Huan's mouth said his father's name without the slightest respect, yes, He Huan himself does not belong to this era, but as an orphan in his previous life, he preferred to integrate into this era, so he subconsciously chose to forget, and now that his mother's love is gone, he slowly recalled it when he entered the general's mansion.
If you want to get justice for your mother, you can only enter the temple, and only by living in the temple can you set things right, restore your mother's status as an eldest woman, and make the Wei family pay the price.
And if you want to enter the temple, there are only three ways to choose.
One of them is to practice martial arts, practice literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, the world will be chaotic at the end of the Han Dynasty, and a good martial arts can help him He Harmony to establish a military merit.
However, this idea was quickly dispelled by He Huan.
Because the battlefield is not a child's play, not to mention that he He Harmony has not been exposed to martial arts before, even if he has a martial arts now, He Harmony does not dare to go to the battlefield easily, because Mrs. Wei wishes that he He Harmony would die on the battlefield, so that no one in the bureau will compete with his two sons of Mrs. Wei for the position of the head of the He family. He didn't die in the hands of the enemy, he might die at the hands of his own people.
This second is to raise filial piety as an official, Mrs. Wei's eldest son He Wei is now the Taishou of Dongjun, He Wei is four years older than He Huan, and he is already a party Taishou when he is young. He Harmony does not have He Wei has the ability to use power with the Wei family and the He family, so it is impossible to raise filial piety, and Mrs. Wei will not agree, even if the He family has three places for raising filial piety, but it is impossible for him to be harmonious, and Mrs. Wei is still counting on another filial piety in the family to teach her maiden family, the Wei family.
Both of these are excluded, so the last one remains.
That is the reading and scientific examination, the history of the late Han Dynasty here is different from what He Hui saw before, and the scientific examination is no longer a thing that appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but after Liu Xiuli established the Eastern Han Dynasty, which made He Hui very curious.
However, this is indeed the only way for the children of the poor to enter the temple.
The scientific examination is divided into four levels, and the counties and counties are finally the capital examinations, which are first examined by the states and counties, that is, the county examination, the county examination, and the state examination, and finally unified, that is, to come to the eastern capital Luoyang for the unified examination.
For example, Yanzhou, which is close to Luoyang, has six counties and thirty counties, and a county has about five counties, and each county has ten people to participate in the county examination, and ten more people are eliminated in the county examination, and ten more people are taken out from the state examination, and only ten people can go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, on behalf of Yanzhou County, for the unified examination.
The county examination is once a year, the county examination is once every two years, the state examination is three years, and the unified examination is five years.
The ten states of the Han Dynasty, Yanzhou and Youzhou, Jizhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, plus the two capitals of the East and West, only ten people are taken every five years, which is enough to see the severity of the imperial examination.
In addition, some scholars are also meddling in the scientific examination, and there are really very few children of the real poor family who can come out of the imperial examination, and it is not bad to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
But even if it is a thousand difficulties, He Harmony has to go through it.
"Tianxingjian gentleman strives for self-improvement!" As He Harmoni's voice increased, the white aura on his body began to rise.
This is not an internal force, nor a special effect, but a true sense of righteousness.
Heaven and earth have righteousness, and if the heart of the sage reader is open, he will naturally increase righteousness.
……
The loud sound of reading was catchy, and it came out of the hut and into the courtyard, where some of the servants of the He family were busy, and they were curious when they heard such a voice.
"Where's the sound of the book?" A few new servants in the courtyard asked curiously, in this year, scholars are still very respected, after all, scholars are educated, can speak words they don't understand, and scholars can be officials
"The room on the side belongs to the second son!" Someone saw the direction in which the voice was coming from.
"The second son's? Does the second son want to study and become an official? "In the eyes of ordinary people, reading is used to be an official, and only an official can understand articles.
"Being an official? What is the harmony of him? Also worthy? A servant like a small boss said disdainfully towards He Huan's courtyard, respectful and orderly, and a mere domestic servant dared to call him by his name to the second son of the mansion in the waiter, which was enough to see He Huan's status in the He family.
"I tell you, this official is only worthy of being like the eldest prince and the third prince! Our eldest son is only in the age of the weak crown, but he is already too guarded, and he is an official who is filial piety! Although the third prince is young, he will inevitably raise filial piety as an official when he grows up, only this is how harmonious, hehe! "The little boss's servant deliberately sold it.
"Fifth Director, why can't these two sons be filial piety?" There was a new servant on the side who asked suspiciously, logically speaking, this He Harmony He Ergongzi has also reached the age of filial piety, even if he can't be a Taishou, he should be a petty official below, but there is no movement at all.
"That's because, ah, this He is harmonious....", this person who is called the fifth supervisor is about to say it freely, and use a belittling tone to raise his value, but he heard a cold snort over there,
"He Wu, I don't think you, the director, want to do it, do you?"
"Who is it, dare to be so official, your fifth grandfather and me!" This He Wu was just about to refute, but when he looked back, he was immediately stunned after seeing the person who came.
"It turned out to be Mr. Huang!" He Wu lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows at the visitor.
He Jin, the master of He Mansion, is now a servant, will be a master craftsman, and Henan Yin Sili is a school captain, and generally the domestic servants who enter He Mansion have no original surname, so they can only change their surname He, but this person can be surnamed Huang, which is enough to see the status of the person.
"Boss!" All the servants bowed their heads to the middle-aged man. This person is Huang Jian, the chief manager of He Jin's mansion.
There are four chief managers in He Jin's mansion, the chief manager is the largest, and there are two, three, and four chief managers below, and the remaining three people can't be named with their own family names, so they can only follow the surname He.
There is a supervisor under the manager, and He Wu is the fifth in the supervisor, so it is called He Wu, and only by being the chief can he be famous, otherwise he can only be a domestic servant slave with a serial number.
Huang Jian can have a name and a surname, it is because he came out of the countryside with He Jin.
Don't forget Gou Fugui, some of the old brothers who came out of the village died on the battlefield, some were on the official side, and some were still in the army, but only he Huang Jian was because he broke an arm, lacked an image for the official, and lacked means for the general, so he succumbed to He Mansion and became the head of this side.
"He Wu, what should be the crime of discussing the son in private?" Huang Jian's face froze, and he said viciously to He Wu over there. From Huang Jian's body, a bloody killing intent pressed towards He Wu over there.
If Huang Jian was still in the army, he would definitely be a captain, and he also walked down from the battlefield, how could the momentum on his body be something that a mere He Wu could resist.
Immediately, He Wu knelt on the ground, "Boss, I don't dare, I don't dare!" "He Wu is afraid of this Huang Jian, why? Because Huang Jian also shoulders a power in the He Mansion, that is, he can deal with anyone in the He Mansion who has violated the family law, that is, the Criminal Law Hall.
Talking about the son in private, he can be big or small, if he doesn't pursue it, it's not a joke, but if he is investigated, it's a big disrespect to He Fu, according to the family law, his mediocre domestic servant can still have a life?
"Don't you dare, do I see how bold you are?" Huang Jian looked at He Wu coldly.
"The chief manager spares his life, the chief manager spares his life!" Under Huang Jian's gaze, He Wu immediately kowtowed to Huang Jian, one after another, hitting the ground hard, and soon blood appeared on his forehead and stained red.
Looking at He Wu's miserable appearance, Huang Jian did not have the slightest sympathy, nor did he stop He Wu's kowtow in the slightest, until He Wu fainted due to excessive bleeding, Huang Jian waved his hand, "Come on, drag He Wu down for me, I don't think he should be the supervisor, wait for me to discuss a change with the supervisors on a certain day!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Jian said and strode away, leaving a group of servants looking at each other, who said that the second son of He Mansion could knead at will? Where is He Wu's fate, if anyone dares to disrespect the second son, Manager Huang will not recognize people.
……
"Click!" Huang Jian left in the direction of He Huan's hut, Huang Jian pushed open the door, and saw a teenager over there holding a book and reading hard.
"Harmonic!" Mr. Huang, who was still cold-blooded and ruthless with a black face just now, smiled when he arrived in this hut.
"Uncle Jian!" He Huan saw the visitor, and immediately put down the book and smiled at the visitor. "Thank you!" He Huan said with a smile at Huang Jian.
Huang Jian was slightly stunned, and then understood, "Did you hear it?" ”
"Yes!" He Hui nodded emphatically.
"It's all a bunch of cheap servants, don't take it to heart!"
"Rumors stop at the wise! Uncle Jian, if they say it, let them go! "He Harmony is very casual, the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, no matter how many people say it, his He Harmony's heart will not affect him in the slightest, but he is a little unhappy in his heart.
That kind of indifferent look and that kind smile, Huang Jian was stunned for a moment, because his mother was also like this back then, it seems to be!
"I went out with my master a few days ago, and it looks like I'm going to have to clean up in this house!" Huang Jian's face flashed with gloom, if he Huang Jian was there, who would dare to talk like this, and it was outside He Huan's courtyard, and He Huan heard it clearly.
"Uncle Jian, how did you have time to come to my courtyard today?" He asked Huang Jian with a smile.
"You don't say I almost forgot!" Huang Jian took out a brocade silk from his arms and handed it to He Huan.
"What is this?" He Hui took the brocade silk under Huang Jian's smiling eyes and opened it.
"This?" He Huan's eyes widened, and a wave of righteousness came to his face, Huang Jian may feel a little less, but how can he, a person who reads the book of saints, not feel it.
He Huan finally faced up to that heroic righteousness, and only then did he see that it was the four big characters written on this piece of cloth that exuded heroic righteousness, self-denial and revenge!
This is definitely something that only the great Confucians of the time can write.
The sage determines the world with one stroke, but the great Confucianism is also able to determine the luck and teach the common people under the sage.
He Huan closed his eyes and felt it, and when he looked at the previous scriptures, he suddenly found a lot of obscure things that he didn't understand, and he suddenly became clear.
"Cai?" He Huan took a look and found that there was a small seal under the four big characters, with the word Cai written on it, plus the Feibai book! The identity of the person who wrote this brocade can already be determined.
"Uncle Jian, you?" He Hui put down the brocade silk and looked at Huang Jian over there with a scrutinizing eye.
"That's right, this is the note of the great Confucian Cai Yong!" Huang Jian confirmed He Huan's guess.
He Huo took a deep breath, "Where did you get it?" ”
"I bought it...."Before Huang Jian's words could be spoken, He Huan's eyes narrowed, "Uncle Jian, you grew up watching me, you know, I hate others to deceive me the most!" ”
Listening to He Huan's words, Huang Jian could only change his words, "I went to Jiangnan with the general like this, and visited Cai Yong by the way,"
"Uncle Jian, you know, it's impossible for me to ask for his things!" He Huan looked at Huang Jian and said.
"Harmonic, those are all in the past!" Huang Jian said embarrassedly, he went to Cai's house this time to ask for these four big characters in order to help He Harmony to familiarize himself with the scriptures, the guidance of Confucianism, every word is full of Confucianism.
"Yes, time has passed, but I can't get through here!" He Hui pointed to his heart and said to Huang Jian.
"Uncle Jian, do you know? It's because of him Cai Daru who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, which makes his mother feel guilty to death! How do you let me pass such a person? ”
He Huan himself had a marriage contract with the Cai family, but he was snatched away by Mrs. Wei, and the marriage contract that originally belonged to He Huan became Wei Jiawei Zhongdao, He Huan didn't care about the so-called marriage contract being robbed, Mrs. Wei even robbed his filial piety, does he still care about a woman? What He Huan cares about is his mother, and the excuse for the Cai family's divorce is that He Huan doesn't learn and has no skills.
He Huan's mother didn't let He Huan study because she was afraid that He Huan would get involved in the court, and she just wanted He Huan to be safe and secure for the rest of her life, but when Cai Yong took the school He Huan He Wei Zhongdao, how could He Huan compare to Wei Zhongdao, who had been studying since he was a child?
So he got a title of not learning and not knowing, and he was successfully ruined by the Cai family as an excuse to destroy the marriage contract.
He Huan's mother thought that she didn't let He Huan study, which ruined the child's family affairs, so she became ill, and then she had a disease, and she couldn't seek medical treatment and had no medicinal materials, and finally she had to die.
"You can take the things back!" He Hui won't want Cai Yong's things.
"Hey!" Huang Jian sighed, he knew that once his eldest nephew made a decision, no one could change it: "Did you really decide to take the road of scientific research?" ”
"Harmonic, it's better to wait! Uncle Jian promised you that he would definitely win a chance for you to show filial piety! Huang Jian said solemnly to He Huan.
