Chapter 335: Isn't the Township Test Just a Matter of Hands?
Warat Khan "entered Beijing to worship" the Heavenly Khan, and it was naturally impossible for the Ministry of Rites to treat him as an ordinary envoy.
After Yilan's family moved into the Sifang Pavilion, the Ministry of Rites specially cleared out the pavilions and pavilions on the north side of the Sifang Pavilion as the temporary residence of the future Shunyi County King.
Jia Cong personally sent Yilan back, stood at the gate of the courtyard and said in a foreign language: "Yilan, we are also old acquaintances, let me tell you a word from the heart, if this matter is successful, you will be recorded in history and become the Buddha of Wanjia of the people of Wara." ”
Ten thousand Buddhas?
When Yilan returned to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Lan Qiduo was reading with a pair of children.
Warat was one of the countries that were separated from the previous dynasties, and Sinology has long been integrated into their lives. The nobles of the Khan Court are all proud of learning Sinology, and Lan Qiduo is the noble daughter of the Rus family, so her talent is naturally not bad.
Yilan stood in the distance and watched the warm scene of his wife and children at this time, recalling the days full of killing and fighting in the past, and couldn't help but be in a trance.
Perhaps this was the wisest decision he had made in more than 30 years......
"Great Khan, why did you come back so early?"
"Father Khan~"
"Father Khan~"
A pair of children were a little timid, and the smile on Yilan's face was a little reluctant. His marriage with Lan Qiduo was originally a combination of interests, and his previous concern for these children could basically be said to be none.
On the contrary, on the way from Liangzhou to the capital, the family can be regarded as sharing weal and woe and having precious family affection.
Lan Qiduo is not like a Warat woman, gentle and dignified, and has the quality of a Han woman. She helped Yilan take off her coat and brought herbal tea.
A pair of children went to play in the courtyard, and Lan Qiduo asked hopefully: "Great Khan, what did Yongfeng Bo say?" ”
Yi Lan lay on the bamboo couch under the shade of the tree, looking at the white clouds slowly drifting in the sky in a trance, and asked faintly: "Duoduo, you say, is it really right for me to do this?" ”
"Didn't the Great Khan say that the Southern Dynasty was strong and that Warat was difficult to resist? Rather than sacrifice in vain with an egg hitting a stone, it is better to become a part of the Southern Dynasty. When the ancestors entered the Central Plains, we and the Han people have long been fused by blood, so why bother dividing Warat and Great Xia? ”
Lan Qiduo's mother is a Han Chinese, and she was taught history by her mother since she was a child, and she has a lot of insights into the distinction between Huayi.
Seeing that Yilan had been shaken, he brought up the theory of legal succession.
"The ancients said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Great Xia inherited the legal system of the Great Yuan, and Warat and Tatar were only part of the split after the fall of the Great Yuan. Later generations of historians compiled history books, and the successive khans of Warat were only a few brushstrokes. Since we recognized His Majesty the Heavenly Khan as the Lord in the Zhaowu Year, why bother to create fearless killing? ”
Yilan didn't pay much attention to what kind of legal system was illegal or unified, but His Majesty the Heavenly Khan in Lan Qiduo's mouth made him a little moved.
Emperor Zhaowu was a great monarch, and after five expeditions to the north, Warat and Tatar did not even have the courage to resist, but he was able to treat the people on the grassland well after defeating the steppe heroes.
Those 30 years are probably the happiest time for the people of the grassland, at least the vast majority of the people will not starve to death in winter.
"Yes, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan is really a revered emperor, but the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, I can't believe it......"
Yi Lan sat up suddenly, held Lan Qiduo's hands, and was a little excited: "Duoduo, I want to go and meet His Majesty Tian Khan, and only His Majesty Tian Khan can reassure me." ”
……
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I don't believe in me!"
The emperor was a little depressed, and when he looked at the secret performance sent by the secret agent of the Dragon Guard, he almost came to the Qinzheng Palace and grabbed his shirt and asked why.
Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and persuaded: "This is also a helpless thing, the grassland people have always worshiped the strong, the saint was beaten by the five expeditions to Mobei back then, and they couldn't take care of themselves, and the grassland heroes were extremely subservient to the saint's domineering spirit." Coupled with Zhao Wunian's strategy of kingizing the grassland, the prestige of the sage in the grassland can be said to be unprecedented. ”
"It's really unprecedented, this is still the strategy formulated by the eldest brother back then, but it's a pity that it's ......"
At that time, the sage put a knife on the neck of the Warat nobleman in front and asked him if he was convinced, and the first prince took the grain to appease the people of the steppe in the back, so that the prestige of Daxia in the steppe once overwhelmed the Khan court of Warat and Tatar.
It's a pity that Wang Hua's policy was interrupted because of the battle for the heir in the last years of Zhaowu, otherwise how could there be two later anti-water things.
The emperor really wants to restart the plan of the year, but unfortunately the old man can't hold the knife anymore, he thinks that he doesn't have the strength of his father, and the prince is still a fledgling, alas!
Xia Shouzhong asked cautiously, "Emperor, what ......is Yilan's request?"
"You go and ask your father, if your father is willing to see him, you will let the Ministry of Rites arrange it."
The emperor waved his hand a little depressedly, and Xia Shouzhong immediately retreated.
Obviously, he has been the Son of Heaven for several years, why do they only serve his father.
Could it be that I didn't beat them?
Click, click......
The more he thought about it, the more depressed the emperor was a little annoyed by this clattering sound, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Jia Xiaosan was holding Shanshan melon and gnawing on it, and he was suddenly even more depressed.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you don't know how to send me a piece!"
Jia Cong gnawed happily, and handed over a piece of the melon on the plate when he heard the sound: "Your Majesty, taste it, this chilled melon is really refreshing." ”
Click, click, click......
The two monarchs and ministers held a piece of melon, sat on the stone steps outside the hall, and talked about Warat while gnawing on melons.
"If Yilan's move is his true thoughts, I will take a high look at him."
The emperor pushes himself and others, and he can still understand Yilan's thoughts.
As long as he is not a mediocre king, who wants to be called a sentence by later generations. Faced with a powerful empire that was about to solve the problem of food and clothing, Warat would not last more than twenty or thirty years before it was destroyed.
He Yilan is about to become the last Khan of Warat, what can the king of the dead country do? Keeping the people under his rule will be the last great good thing he can do.
And if this thing is done, he Yilan can leap from the king of the dead country to the protector of the people of Warat, how to choose is the right one, how can Yilan's shrewdness not be seen.
He is now only missing one opportunity, such as the only recognition of the people of the grassland, His Majesty Tian Khan's edict to the Quartet, he Yilan is for the people of Wara, so he gave up the rule of the Erjinjin family over Warat, and merged it into Great Xia, so that Warat completely became a part of the Chinese Dynasty.
When the monarch and the minister were eating melons and talking about things, the people from the Ministry of Rites had already brought Yilan into the palace.
Jia Cong was squeezed dry by the emperor before he was released from the palace, and the emperor knew that this kid must have a strategy against Warat in his brain, so he used a cart of Shanshan melon to drain the contents of Jia Cong's brain.
Of course, these things are fragmented, and there are many places where they are unrealistic.
For example, the migration of military camps, the support of grassland animal husbandry, the promotion of sinicization, the strengthening of the grassland's dependence on grain in the Central Plains, and so on.
These are only plans for the general direction, and to implement them, a complete and systematic package is definitely needed.
The emperor originally wanted to continue to squeeze the child, but thinking that the township test was imminent, Yilan's side had not been officially decided, so he temporarily let Jia Cong go and ordered him to improve the strategy against Warat after the township test.
……
No one knew what happened to Yilan in the Longshou Palace, but after leaving the palace, Yilan told his wife and children and the Warat nobles who came to the capital with him that His Majesty the Great Heavenly Khan, the loving father of the steppe people, had forgiven him as an ignorant child, and would issue a decree to soothe the people of Warat who were deeply troubled by fire and water, and bestow the grace of the saint on his child.
Since Yi Lan entered the palace to meet the sage master, the imperial court's restraint and supervision of the Wara Khan's family has obviously relaxed a lot.
Originally, there were many envoys of the feudal kingdom in the Sifang Pavilion who were still thinking about watching the jokes of the Celestial Empire, thinking that Warat might take this opportunity to rescue the Yilan family.
Not wanting Yilan to be ruthless and even fight his own people, he personally handed over the two Warat nobles who were plotting to escape to the Dragon Guard.
Those who were loyal to the family followed closely behind Yilan, preaching the glorious greatness of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan everywhere, adding bricks and tiles to the upcoming national integration.
Jia Cong ignored these things for the time being, he was busy.
The Shuntianfu Township Test in the seventh year of Yuan Yu finally began, and according to the rules, the August Township Test began to appear on the ninth day of the first month, the second trial on the third day, and the third trial on the third day.
This autumn, the number of people who took the examination in Shuntianfu reached a new high, reaching more than 2,400.
The black and pressed escort test outside the Gongyuan has become a beautiful scenery, so that many people have earned a lot of money in the past few days, and the family can have a few more dishes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The examination system of the Great Xia Imperial Examination has been very perfect, and the admission of the township examination is equal to three sessions, and it is not based on the superiority of the literature.
The content of the township examination is mainly based on the "Four Books", "Five Classics", and policy questions, and also examines the candidates' writing and ideological problems.
It mainly includes the candidate's familiarity and understanding of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and whether the candidate can be proficient in the use of edicts, judgments, tables, edicts and other literary styles.
At the same time, four or five articles of current affairs and government affairs at that time will be extracted, and candidates will be required to express their opinions or opinions in combination with scripture theories.
At the beginning of the township examination in July, the Ministry of Rites played accurately: "Take the scholar for the world, but the talent of the world can not be seen in the system, and the second or third or the first class, open and have the present Bogu, the words into a family of words, this is the first field is not very careful, each room is harmless to take one or two volumes, in order to show the meaning of respecting practical learning. As for those who do not stain a single ink and comment on a word, how can they serve the heart of the scholar, and they must add pen to the last three scenes, not just a hook. ”
Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict to make clear metaphors to the Quartet, take scholars from practical learning, and pay attention to back-field questions.
This autumn's Shuntianfu Township Test is about the promotion of potatoes and corn and land annexation.
Good guy, Jia Cong called him a good guy.
This is simply a question for themselves, but for those who talk about it every day, it is fatal.
The most important thing is the matter of land annexation, I don't know which uncle is so fierce that he dares to throw this matter to the surface and let the gentleman who is a vested interest discuss it.
Suppressing land annexation is political correctness that cannot be said clearly at the moment, and if you put aside this political correctness, you will write a flower and lose your name.
But many people don't dare to write about this matter, in case the news of their approval of the suppression of land annexation spreads, how can they be mixed in the Shilin circle in the future?
doesn't agree, he can only be named Sun Shan, sad!
Jia Cong almost laughed out loud as he saw that the brothers in the opposite house were about to lose their hair.
The house is low and narrow, fortunately, the weather is good in these days, Jia Cong successfully answered the test papers, and when he walked out of the Gongyuan, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the seventh year of Yuan You was over.
"Second Brother Bao is okay?"
Compared with Jia Cong, who is still in good spirits, the nine days in the Gongyuan almost drove Baoyu crazy.
Baoyu, who has been clothed and fed since birth, can persevere, thanks to the deterrence of Master Zheng's stick.
"Come home, go home! I don't feel clean anymore, I want to take a shower, I want to take a shower! ”
Puff~
Jia Cong was amused by Baoyu's appearance of scratching around, but as soon as he laughed, he was startled by the wail next to him.
It turned out that someone couldn't hold it back, and he knew that he had no hope of crying.
There are also people who openly complain about the difficulty of the township test questions, which instantly aroused the approval of many people around.
Baoyu stopped scratching, and after a moment of sluggishness, he asked Jia Cong suspiciously: "Isn't it okay to have hands in this township test?" I think the questions in this township exam are simpler than those in the college exam. The promotion of potatoes is clearly stated in the newspaper, and the issue of land annexation is even simpler, the average tax of square fields, the clearing of acres of fields, etc., aren't these all what the imperial court has been doing in the past two years? ”
Because Baoyu did not have the habit of avoiding people, these words made many people look sideways, and there was no lack of annoyance and hatred in the eyes that looked at him.
Jia Cong snorted coldly and glanced around coldly, scaring back this group of people who hated Baoyu.
However, he didn't say anything to the group, just pulled Baoyu into the car, and the two brothers left the gate of the tribute courtyard under the escort of their own soldiers.
The results of the township examination will be announced in early September, and the inns in the capital are almost full.
Jia Cong has a headache when he thinks of Baoyu's temperament, and his words at the gate of the Gongyuan may have offended many people inadvertently, so he handed Baoyu over to the care of Master Zheng as soon as he returned home.
With the big stick of the old man to deter, Baoyu has been staying in Rongguo Mansion since the township test and rarely goes out.
Only on his friend Wei Ruolan's birthday, he went to Weifu with Jia Cong for a banquet. But at this banquet, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and affirm one thing.
Wei Ruolan studied in Guozijian, and many of her classmates participated in this autumn's township examination, and the discussion of the township examination questions during the banquet did not stop. Many people complained that the questions in the township examination were tricky, so that they could not write, and they were afraid that they would fall behind.
By mistake, Baoyu's strange temperament helped him again this time, and the second master of Shuntianfu's township test treasure is very likely to be on the list this autumn.
Why?
After Baoyu returned home, he wrote his answer sheet silently, and Lin Ruhai made an evaluation with four words: decent.
However, Baoyu's policy on land annexation is well evaluated by Lin Ruhai, and in Baoyu's eyes, the Datong world of Juntian Yumin is correct, and the forcible occupation of Mintian by Shilin officials is an illegal and evil thing.
He habitually sprayed hundreds of words, and his words were intense, but nine times out of ten, he would secretly match the mind of the questioner.
Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say 100%, but the questions of the Shuntianfu Township Exam this time were tricky for most Shilin students, and most of the examiners were old scholars in the court.
Baoyu's question, maybe he will be favored by which boss, and it is very likely to be out of the circle.
……
The eighth day of September, the day before the Chung Yeung Festival.
The Shuntianfu Township Examination Laurel List was posted outside the Gongyuan, and a total of more than 2,400 students went to the examination this autumn, and 89 were selected.
Jia Cong is not worried that he will fall into the first place, he dares to say confidently that the third master of Cong's scroll is the standard answer, if he falls into the first place, then he dares to carry a knife to the tribute courtyard to slaughter the unfair people.
As for Second Master Bao, he has been obsessed with a new book of words in the past two days, and he is talking to Xiangyun about you and me, and it is estimated that he even forgot about his participation in the township test.
duang~
duang~
duang~
The sound of the gong became clearer and clearer, and Jia Cong put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyes and looked out the window.
Before the second dog got closer, he shouted excitedly: "Hit, hit, the third master won the first place in the Shuntianfu Township test this autumn, and our family has a solution!" ”
When Jia Cong walked to the main hall, the dazed Baoyu was holding a yellow list in a daze, and the political master on the side had red eyes, and when he saw Jia Cong coming, he hugged him and cried.
"My son was lifted, Brother Cong, Baoyu was lifted, lifted!"
"Second Uncle don't cry, Second Uncle don't cry, Second Brother Bao is talented, isn't it natural to be lifted? This is a happy event, and we should celebrate it......"
Jia Cong looked at his uncle and father who were smiling on the side for help, and Master Lin stepped forward to reassure him: "What Brother Cong said is that in the township test this autumn, Brother Cong won the Shuntian Mansion Xie Yuan, and Baoyu is also the eighty-ninth in the township test. ”
"Brother-in-law, you don't know, you don't know...... I've been bitter all these years. After Zhu Ge'er left, I put all my hopes on Baoyu, but he was too ...... Alas! ”
Master Zheng almost had a handful of snot and tears, and poured out all the words that had been held in his heart all these years.
Baoyu heard his father's words for the first time, and lowered his head guiltily.
Fortunately, the old man is now prosperous, and Baoyu was promoted at a young age, and the words behind him are mostly praise and praise.
Ning Rongjia's family came out with a Shuntianfu Township Test Xie Yuan and a Township Test Eighty-ninth, and the two mansions suddenly became jubilant.
The old lady rewarded the whole house with a wave of her hand, and the people all rewarded the monthly money for January, sang a big opera on a high stage, and feasted relatives and friends.
Even the lady in the palace gave the four treasures and classics of the imperial study, commending Brother Cong and Baoyu to make persistent efforts to win another victory in the next spring and add glory to the Jia family.
……
The excitement in the house has little impact on Jia Cong, and the township test is just a matter of convenience, and he still has homework to write.
The emperor gave him homework, asking him to improve the overall annexation and governance strategy of Warat, which was a great errand, and it was not an exaggeration to make a name for himself in history.
It was all the families who came to congratulate him, and he just showed his face hastily and then rushed back to the study to find information in the pile of old papers, and gradually improved the plan.
This is a huge project, fortunately, with the help of Sister Lin, who has a living dictionary reader, where will not be clicked, at the end of September, Jia Cong finally wrote the first version of the strategic policy for Warat.
After it was presented to the emperor, the emperor took it as the backbone, and the cabinet, the six ministries and five temples jointly discussed and supplemented the details according to the actual situation.
And Jia Cong was thrown to the Longshou Palace by the emperor, and the old man awarded a reward - a reward for Jia Cong's official hat for shoveling excrement, and accompanying the old man to fish in the liquid pool!
