After rushing for a long time, Mo Jing finally stepped into the political and cultural center of the Qing Dynasty for the first time!

Although he has been to Beijing before, this Beijing is not the other Beijing, and the difference between the two is so big that it is almost difficult for Mo Jing to discern what they once had in common, perhaps, the Forbidden City that has not yet been seen is roughly the same! …… Of course, the Forbidden City should have more treasures and a lot less iron fences!

……

"In the summer, the air can't tell which of the two Beijings is better! …… It's hot! ”

Mo Jing fanned her fan, sweating...... She is very annoyed now, she has been here for several days, but she always doesn't know how to break the deadlock, inquiring about the news of the Qing court is almost equivalent to inquiring about the news of the State Council in the future, although the current secrecy regulations are not so strict, but she doesn't dare to show the identity of the county lord now, what can a flat-headed little ordinary man do?

"Fei Lao, Fei Lao, why didn't you think of this? I have no power, and I have no way, how can I find out the news? ”

Mo Yan sighed!

……

"This son, where are you going?"

Mo Jing is now dressed as a woman, and there is no one else around her, who called her servants and minions to be either easily recognizable Mongols or untrustworthy Manchus sent by the kings of Fengtian? In order to be in order, she had to disguise herself as a man and enter Beijing alone, of course, there is still no shortage of magic weapons on her body, there are two short muskets alone! …… This is a must-have self-defense magic weapon for the five of them!

"Take me into the inner city!"

It was a coachman who greeted him, and Mo Jing knew that he wanted to attract customers, so he said casually.

The city gate of Beijing, "Inner Nine and Seven Outer Seven Imperial City Four"!

The nine in the city are: Qianmen, Xuanwu Gate, Fucheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, Desheng Gate, Anding Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Chongwen Gate; The seven outer cities are: Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Zuo'anmen, Yongdingmen, You'anmen, Guang'anmen, and Xibianmen; The four of the imperial city are: *** (known as Chengtianmen), Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'anmen! As for the gate of the Forbidden City, there is no explanation, it is probably wrapped in the imperial city!

Among them, the nine gates of the inner city are also known as: nine doors out of nine cars! That is, there are rules for every door and what goes in and out. For example: Chaoyang Gate - Grain Gate; Dongzhi Gate - Building Gate (Transporting Bricks and Stones, etc.); Desheng Gate - Dispatch Gate; Anding Gate - Entering the Soldier Gate; Zhengyangmen - Tianzi Gate; Xuanwumen-Famen; Chongwen Gate - Tax Gate; Fucheng Gate - Coal Gate; Xizhimen - Water Gate.

Mo Jing now entered the inner city from the Zongwen Gate, and the coachman paid the tax when he entered the city gate......

"Son, where are you going? Do you want me to give you another ride? After entering the city, the carriage stopped, and after the coachman received a string of copper coins from Mo Jing, he asked with a smile.

"Nowhere to go, I'll just walk around! …… There you go! ”

"Son, looking at you like this, you went to Beijing to take the exam, right? Do you want me to find you a place? I promise, you'll meet like-minded people there! The coachman continued to pull the business.

"Rushing for the exam? Is there a imperial examination this year? "Mo Jing didn't pay much attention to this matter! Neither she nor her accomplices were interested in it!

"The prince laughed, next year will be the year of Dabi, but there are also many scholars who have entered Beijing ahead of schedule! …… First come, first served! ......," the coachman laughed.

"First come, first served? Cut, what's the big ratio? It's a bunch of corrupt officials who come out! Mo Jing scolded secretly! The Ming and Qing dynasties can almost be said to be the two dynasties with the most corrupt officials and the most blazing greed in Chinese history, and the Ming Dynasty still has a relationship, after all, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have come out in large numbers, and there are often super losers who have not been in court for decades. But what about the Qing Dynasty? Aren't Kangxi and Qianlong both known as saints who come out once in 500 years? But in the hands of such a holy monarch, there are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Not to mention anything else, Heshen is the biggest proof! And then there's the pearl that just stepped down recently!

"Hey, coachman! ……”

Mo Jing was thinking about something, but she heard someone calling the coachman, and when she looked up, the coachman had already left her and turned to another person!

"Grab a 'taxi'?"

Unexpectedly, in this society where the folk customs should be a little more simple, this kind of thing would be encountered, and Mo Jing suddenly felt a trace of resentment in his heart! She had forgotten what she had said to the coachman herself.

"Coachman, what's the matter with you? I didn't say I didn't need your car anymore, why did you run away? She shouted at the coachman.

"Yo, Son, I don't think you seem to mean that, that's why ...... It's all my fault! Why don't you go with this son? Anyway, my car is big, and some are empty, what do you think? The coachman was surprised for a moment, and laughed along.

"What do you see, dude?" Mo Jing looked at the person who looked like a taxi hired a car and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay! Ten years of repairing in the same boat and going in the same car, it is not a lack of fate! The gentleman was about thirty years old, with a slightly bronzed face, and he spoke very boldly.

"Well, but, coachman, I'll only give you half the price!" Mo Jing suddenly said to the coachman.

"Half? …… This, good, good, anyway, pulling one person is pulling, pulling two is also pulling, half is half! After the coachman finished speaking, he looked at the gentleman again, and saw that the other party just smiled slightly and followed Mo Jing to board the car, so he was relieved! …… He had planned to raise the floor price if both of them bargained!

Mo Jing didn't set a destination, so the coachman followed the soldier's instructions, and quickly pulled the two to a "Liansheng" inn.

This inn is not small, there are a lot of people sitting in the east side of the lobby and a group of people in the west, Mo Jing's original plan was to find a lively place to see if he could find out something, so he didn't plan to go anymore, and followed the scholar into the lobby!

"Haha, brother Tai is a careful man!" The scholar couldn't help but smile when he saw that Mo Jing really only paid half of the car price.

"Budget-conscious? It's the coachman who really makes the calculations! I'm sure he's got us here, and he'll have to give him a little bit of the inn, so he's the real deal! You're not a local either, are you? …… Hmph, the coachman sees that we are outsiders, maybe this car money has killed us! "Mo Jing had conducted a more in-depth study of the small abacus of the tour group in the past, and saw the little tricks of the coachman very clearly, otherwise, when he first came in, how could the shopkeeper here be so familiar with the coachman?

"It's not easy for ordinary people to make a living, no wonder!" Shizi smiled, but he was not displeased with this.

"You ......" followed the gentleman to a table and sat down, Mo Jing looked at him and asked, "Are you really not angry that the coachman cheated us out of our money?" ”

"Cheating money? Ha ha...... Where does this begin? Brother Tai, don't think too badly of everyone! The scholar smiled and said, "Besides, you are just guessing, if you judge people's guilt based on speculation alone, won't the world be chaotic?" ”

"Chaos? Things in this world are inherently messy, otherwise, you find someone who can figure it out and show me! Mo Jing said.

"Haha, Brother Tai's speech is indeed getting more and more interesting, but what you say is a bit of a thorn in the egg, the world is so big, even if Confucius and Mencius are resurrected, it is impossible to figure everything out, after all, 'Heaven is infinite, and manpower is endless'!"

"Kong Meng? Hehe, if these two old masters knew that you scholars were talking about them all day long, no matter how good their tempers were, I am afraid that they would jump out of the ground and beat people! Mo Jing teased.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because you don't have to do things, you will only pick up the teeth of your predecessors, and everything will be dragged on the two of them, even if they are saints, they can't support these thousands of years of world events, human nature changes! You say, will they hate you unscrupulous disciples? Will they jump out of the ground and beat you up? ”

"......" The gentleman was stunned for a moment, then slapped his face and shouted, "Yes! Brother Tai's words are really thought-provoking, Shi Shilun has been taught! ”

"Don't be welcome......" Zhao Ran raised his head, and Mo Jing suddenly jumped up without style, "You, what did you say your name was?" ”

"What's wrong? …… In the next Shi Shilun! The scholar's expression was clearly indicating that Mo Yan was making a fuss!

"Shi Shilun!? You, are you Shi Lang's son? ”

"Don't dare, brother, do you know my father? You ......, "This man knows me?" Shi Shilun looked at Mo Jing's surprised face and said strangely.

"......" Mo Jing's two eyes stared at Shi Shilun, without any intention of relaxing.

"Brother, brother, could it be you...... "What is your relationship with our Shi family?" Shi Shilun thought in his heart, but only half of the words were spoken!

"You are Shi Shilun, are you here to take the exam this year?" Mo Jing didn't care about Shi Shilun's question, just asked.

"No, it's a shadowy Guozi prison student below, who came to study, but the house I rented last year has been bought, so I have to find an inn to live in!" Shi Shilun replied.

"Guozijian? Oh, got it! Mo Jing nodded, got up and walked away!

"......" Shi Shilun is inexplicable!

(Shi Shilun, the word Wenxian, Xunjiang, Jinjiang Yakou, Shi Lang's second son.) In the twenty-fourth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, he was awarded the governor of Taizhou at the beginning of Yinsheng, and then successively served as the prefect of Yangzhou, Jiangning, and Suzhou, the deputy envoy of Jiangnan Huaixu Road, the political envoy of Anhui Bu, the Zhengqing of Taifu Temple, the Yin of Shuntianfu, the left deputy capital of the Ducha courtyard, the left waiter of the household department, the governor of the Yun, the right waiter of the military department and the right deputy capital of the Ducha courtyard, etc. When he was an official, his political achievements were remarkable, and his reputation was far and wide, and he was commended by Emperor Kangxi as "the first Qing official in the world". ）
