The growth of Bao Erye can really be said to have grown overnight.

Since he walked out of the Rongguo Mansion, he found that his perspective on many things had changed dramatically.

One of the biggest changes is his view of people.

In the past, as long as he was good-looking, whether he was male or female, Baoyu would feel that this kind of person must be a good person.

But as he walked out of the Rongguo Mansion to socialize, he soon discovered the problem keenly.

It turns out that under the beautiful skin, some people can really be said to be ruined by the gold and jade, and even can do disgusting things that he can't imagine.

The gentleman who met in the literary meeting was graceful and beautiful on the surface, but behind the scenes, he was doing the business of oppressing the good and kidnapping women.

The elegant scholar who exported a chapter at the poetry meeting actually took the money accumulated by the wife of the chaff to cut down on food and clothing, and stammered the daughter of the minister with peace of mind, abandoning his wife and children without any guilt.

With such a group of people, don't talk about moving Sage Kong out, it's useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to come.

"My father told me a few days ago that when he was a student in Zhejiang, he encountered a lot of things that he couldn't understand......

As soon as he talked about what the old man had talked about with him a few days ago, Baoyu sighed.

It turned out that his strict father had the same heart as him.

The same naivety!

"My father said that he had read the books of the sages for most of his life, and that he had never doubted what was written in them. It wasn't until he went to Zhejiang that he understood a truth - it is better to believe in books than to have no books! ”

Baoyu suddenly let out a long sigh, and laughed bitterly at Jia Cong and Daiyu: "Actually, I've been thinking about a question, I used to hate the economy of Nashitu, but now I can't tell what I hate. ”

This question has plagued Baoyu for a long time.

I said it today, not to seek answers from Jia Cong and Daiyu, but to explain one thing.

His finger tapped on the thick pile of arguments, and he spoke again: "Just like these people, you can't say that these people are all national thieves, but many of these people are Gyeonggi celebrities with noble character. But what they defend is what I hate......"

Jia Cong felt in his heart that Baoyu should be the person in Ning Rongjia's family who was most disgusted by the current rules of etiquette.

What he hated was cannibalism, the darkness of flies and dogs, and all the sins that were contrary to his pure and good nature.

Therefore, after he entered the office, he endured his disgust with the career economy, picked up the pen, and fought against everything he hated.

But the results of his efforts were insignificant, because the enemy was so powerful that a country had to use calculations to confront it.

Alas......

Jia Cong sighed in his heart, Bao Er Ye was born in the wrong era!

Perhaps all his life's efforts have not been able to see the world he wants to see.

"Second uncle...... The second uncle's inner wavering is not to the words of the saint, but those books that distort the words of the saint! ”

Jia Cong could see what Baoyu was thinking, how could Daiyu not see it.

But both of them have the same opinion, and this answer is extremely cruel to Baoyu. Maybe even Baoyu himself has noticed it, but he doesn't want to admit it.

Therefore, Daiyu did not speak, but changed the topic.

"At the beginning, Brother Cong and I reinterpreted the Analects and sent it to Wei Wenzheng in the name of my father. Wen Zheng used this book to make a trial...... As a result, Second Brother Bao should have also seen that the younger generation of scholars is fine, and those who master the major academies are almost all refuted. ”

The Confucian family in Qufu has fallen, but the Confucian family is only the so-called Confucian leader who has been pushed out.

At present, the real leader is not a person, but a group with the vast majority of the right to speak.

They are all over the Great Xia, controlling large and small academies and schools, controlling large and small school books, and controlling the power to interpret the words of the saints.

This force is so huge that even the emperor is difficult to directly confront it.

"The Great Minister wants to reinterpret the words of the saints in order to clear up the source and let people see the true scriptures of the Holy Dao. Second Brother Bao, you are not debating with these Confucian scholars, you are debating with the entire science of science. ”

Daiyu's eyes were full of worry, and she pondered for a long time before she sighed and said, "This is an extremely difficult and dangerous matter, and it is likely that you will be ruined!" ”

This is a battle of beliefs, and it is common to lose your life, not to mention touching the fundamental interests of others, and splashing dirty water to trap fear is the most basic operation.

Jia Cong didn't think about this, and when he heard Daiyu's words, he understood why Old Man Zhou Jiong repeatedly told him not to get involved in this matter.

It turned out that the old man was worried that if he lost this fight, there would be no successor.

If you keep Jia Cong, you will save the future!

Thinking of this, Jia Cong was going to get the manuscripts on the table and prepare to destroy them.

saw Baoyu hold down the manuscript on the table, raised his head and smiled calmly.

"Even if I lose my reputation, I have to try, anyway, even if I lose the debate and my reputation is ruined, will my family give me a bite to eat?"

Jia Cong's heart was shocked, and Daiyu and Daiyu both looked at Baoyu who didn't care about it.

"Second Brother Bao......"

"Baoyu ......"

Perhaps it was this conversation that made most of the boredom in Baoyu's heart dissipate, and he was quite free and easy at this time, as if he had returned to the beginning.

He took the pile of manuscripts into his arms and smiled gently.

"I either have to be an official, or I lose, and when the time comes, I will go home and be filial to my grandmother. With you here, I'm hungry somewhere, isn't it? ”

……

The battle of faith is a bloodless war.

In just a few days, the whole of Gyeonggi was plunged into chaos that no one expected.

This turmoil has risen to the court, and the struggle in the court has completely broken out when the court pushes the new head of the household department.

When Lin Ruhai entered the cabinet, he naturally could no longer continue to hold important positions such as the head of the household.

The emperor originally wanted to delay the matter until Wen Lian returned to Beijing from overseas and let him serve as the finance minister, but he didn't want anyone to mention the matter at the court meeting.

There are some rules that the emperor can't break.

The vacancy of the finance minister will indeed affect the operation of the imperial court. Since someone raised it, and a large group of people seconded the matter at the court meeting, the emperor could only order the cardinal court to push.

But no one thought that there would be an equal number of votes during the court push.

"Who is Sun Shenxing? I've never heard of it? ”

Jia Cong quietly asked Zhai Sigong, the secretary of Taichang Temple, who was standing next to him, he originally thought that the official chair of the Hubu Shangshu was either Wen Lian or Sheng Yihong, the left attendant of the Hubu, or Shen Shi, the right waiter of the Hubu.

I don't want a Sun Shenxing to suddenly appear, fight his way out of the encirclement with a high vote, and share the votes with Wen Lian.

Jia Cong really has never heard of this person.

Zhai Sigong was also stunned, and after calming down a bit, he whispered: "Hou Ye may not have heard of Sun Shenxing, but his Hou Ye must have heard it...... God counts the descendants of the mountain! ”

Yes?

Sun Shan?

God Operator?

"Why haven't I heard of any gods counting the descendants?"

Zhai Sigong didn't expect that Jia Cong hadn't even heard of Sun Shenxing's name, so he asked in surprise: "Famous people in the world are like carp crossing the river, but there are very few famous people who are proficient in arithmetic." Master Hou has never heard of the descendants of God? When he was studying, didn't Master Hou's master talk about it? ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and replied quite proudly: "Senior Zhai seems to have forgotten that my teacher Xu Qingteng is also six yuan and first!" ”

Belch......

Damn, this pair of demon masters and apprentices, it's normal not to pay attention to what god operators!

Zhai Sigong glanced at Jia Cong resentfully, and then explained it in a whisper.

It turned out that this god was a descendant of Shen Xing, and he served as a squire in the household department in his early years.

In the household department in the last years of Zhaowu, it was common for rats to starve to death. Sun Shenxing was originally a master of arithmetic, and he discovered the impact of the household deficit on the imperial court very early, and he went on nine concerts in a row, wanting the emperor to issue an order to recover the deficit......

The result can be imagined, and the old sage ignores it.

Sun Shenxing hung up the seal in a fit of anger and went back to his hometown in Guangdong to write a book and speak, no longer paying attention to the affairs of the court.

This time it was suddenly mentioned, and I don't say if there is a plan behind it. Sun Shenxing's ability to manage money is something that no one can ignore.

The household department, how can you do it if you don't know how to settle accounts.

Although Wen Lian can be an Anbang and Wu can determine the country, but in the way of arithmetic, he sent Sun Shenxing eighteen Zhengyang Streets.

"This Sun Shan, so powerful?"

In Jia Cong's skeptical gaze, Zhai Sigong nodded heavily.

I only heard Zhai Sigong say: "In the forty-seventh year of Zhaowu, thirteen countries including Goryeo, Wa, Siam, and Nanyue entered Beijing to pay tribute, and there was a competition. Sun Shenxing single-handedly fought against the arithmetic masters of the thirteen feudal states...... No defeats! ”

Hiss......

That's amazing, but ......

Let's wait and see why this Sun Shen's behavior was suddenly brought up to fight with the emperor.

……

The first time the votes were equal, and the second time it was the same.

According to the system, the emperor has the right to appoint candidates with an equal number of votes.

But when the emperor was about to speak, Xia Lingxing, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, presented a letter from Zhou Jiong, who was recuperating at home.

"Ting Tuizhi put it in advance, some people are not convinced by the reputation of the descendants of the gods...... Spread the decree, three days later, we will set up a fight in the Guozi Prison, let's take a look at the fighting method between the rookie in arithmetic and the master of the god operator. If Sun Shen wins, I will appoint him as the Minister of Finance of the Dynasty! ”

Ha?

Can it still be like this?

There was an uproar in the main hall, and some people were not angry that the court was so solemn and sacred, but in the end, they wanted to push the matter of electing the minister of finance and finance of the country to what arithmetic competition.

But several bigwigs in the cabinet did not stand up against it, and they shouted for a long time, and they couldn't change the emperor's mind at all.

Still, someone stood up and asked who this unconvinced person was.

But I saw the emperor talking to Jia Congnunu, who was listening to Zhai Sigong's story: "Na, this person is Jia Cong, the Taifu Siqing." ”

Well?

Who called me?

Jia Cong felt countless pairs of eyes looking at him, and only after being reminded by others did he understand what was happening.

But seeing that the emperor didn't pay attention to Jia Cong's bewilderment at all, he added: "By the way, there is also a member of the household department, Xue Xuanwu, ......."

……

Xue Yuwu is Baochai, which is the word chosen by He Chong for her to facilitate her position in the court.

When Jia Cong was ordered to come to the Zhou Prime Minister's Mansion, Baochai was already waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhou Lao's head was wrapped in a circle of white yarn, and the study was full of the smell of medicine.

"You're old and don't you cheat me...... Click-click-click......"

The fruit of the Prime Minister's Mansion is good, Jia Cong picked up the peaches on the table and nibbled on them.

Zhou Jiong smiled and didn't pay attention to Jia Cong, but asked someone to bring refreshments, and said to Baochai: "Since your old man can push you out, I think you are extremely proficient in arithmetic......"

"Great Prime Minister, it's not my grandfather who pushes the lower official out, it's the lower official himself who wants to ask the seniors of the god operator for advice!"

Baochai's confidence and honesty surprised Zhou Jiong, and after being stunned, he continued to ask with a smile: "Why?" You must know that behind Sun Shenxing is the Lingnan School, and even all the scholars who want to fight with the old man. ”

saw Baochai nodded: "Xiaguan knows, but Xiaguan has to stand up." Sun Shenxing has known this person since he was a child, and he admires his talent and learning, but his position, Xiaguan is opposed! ”

Oh?

Zhou Jiong's interest was greater, and Jia Cong also stopped gnawing on peaches and looked at Baochai in puzzlement.

"The prime minister should know that Sun Shenxing is a staunch party against the sea, and half of the business of the Xue family, the maiden family of Xia Guan, is now related to sea trade. Moreover, the lower official is the official of the household department, and he knows the current situation of the household department. Whether it is Wen Shaobao or Sheng and Shen as the ministers of finance, the lower officials are not worried. But only Sun Shenxing, public and private, the lower officials don't want him to take the position! ”

There is another point, Baochai did not say it explicitly, but Zhou Jiong had already guessed it.

If Sun Shenxing becomes the secretary of the household department, Baochai will not be able to continue to serve in the household department.

Because Sun Shenxing is a staunch disciple of science, and he is the most advocating that women are not talented is virtuous.

With Baochai's current actions, it is strange that Sun Shenxing can tolerate it.

"Therefore, after the first round of court promotion, the lower officials hurriedly discussed with their grandfather, and my grandfather sent a letter to the prime minister and mentioned the fight."

It turned out that the matter of the arithmetic competition was proposed by Baochai through the hand of the old man He Yaomin.

Jia Cong asked in confusion: "Then why did you count me in?" ”

Baochai smiled: "The prime minister said, you are a child, I am a little woman, if Sun Shenxing can't even compare a child and a woman, where does he still have the face to be the minister of wealth in Daxia?" ”

Ha?

"I've grown up, and I'm married, okay? How can you still be a child? ”

Jia Cong was indignant, but the old man Zhou Jiong laughed and said: "Sun Shenxing was famous all over the world at the age of seventeen, and he became a jinshi in the thirty-first year of Zhaowu, and he was appointed as a household servant in forty-six years...... What are you not a child in the eyes of others? ”

Calculating his age, Sun Shenxing is sixty-two years old this year.

There are a lot of apprentices and grandchildren in other people, Jia Cong is not a child in front of Sun Shenxing?

Old Man Zhou was still seriously injured at this time, and laughed happily: "Okay, since they pushed Sun Shenxing out, they want to take the power of wealth from the old man." The old man fought with him in this ring, completely breaking their minds! ”

Jia Cong spread his hands and responded: "You are old, what you said is right!" But who found this Sun Shenxing, you have to worry a lot about checking it to see if it is in the same group as the people who calculated my family. Recently, my second brother has stabbed a hornet's nest, and rumors about him are spreading all over the capital, and my old lady almost fainted when she heard about it! ”
