Outside Guiyi City, there is a scenic spot called "Tiger Tower".
In the past, Xue Chang, the Marquis of Yangling, and Li Fu, the Marquis of Guangping, fought over this place, which once attracted thousands of people to desert the streets.
The tiger platform of the past is here now, and the princes and princes of the past have become loess.
But Hutai is actually not open during leisure time.
Because under the Tiger Tower is the famous "Sixuan Underground Palace".
At the height of the Xia Dynasty, more than half of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sought enlightenment in the Sixuan Underground Palace, which shows its importance.
Putting it outside can be compared to the Jixia Academy in Qi.
This time the Southern Xia Governor's Office officially held the Southern Xinjiang official examination, the final official examination was held at Hutai.
All those who are interested in officialdom throughout Southern Xia, as long as they meet the basic requirements, will participate in this large-scale official examination. The examination consists of three levels: city examination, government examination, and official examination.
A total of 300 people finally came to Hutai.
Those who can reach this stage are already rare talents. Even if they do poorly in the exam this time, they will still have an official position.
And among these three hundred people, the best will be selected to determine the governors of twenty counties in Southern Xia.
There were originally twenty-one mansions in Southern Xia.
However, during the Qi-Xia War, the frontier troops of Jin'an Prefecture were tenacious and could not be defeated by the Qi army. After the decisive battle with Tongyang City ended and Guiyi City was defeated, the frontier troops of Jin'an Prefecture were afraid of the Qi people's revenge, so they surrendered.
Liang Guo.
Of course, this is just a superficial statement.
Of course the senior officials of Qi State like Jiang Wang knew that this was the condition for Liang State to contain the southeastern part of Xia State.
The Liang Kingdom was not weak. Kang Shao was able to successfully restore the country and still maintain a tough attitude in the face of the Xia Kingdom, which was gradually recovering its strength. This in itself is proof of its strength.
First, it has the support of Jiange.
Secondly, the Liang clan and the Blood River clan have also maintained a close relationship for a long time.
The two great masters of the time gave the Liang people considerable confidence.
Between Liang and Xia, there are high mountains and dangerous peaks.
Wenjian Gorge in the middle is only connected by a plank road.
The sword pavilion controls the dangerous pass here, and it can be said that no one can break it.
The importance of Jin'an Mansion is that when it returns to Xia, it just blocks the northwest exit of Wenjian Gorge.
When it returns to Liang, it will be the bridgehead from Liang to Xia Di!
Once Jin'an is lost, Fengli, Huiming, Shaokang, and Wanxing will all become border prefectures. How much more will the pressure on border defenses double?
This can also explain that although the Qi State's extermination of Xia was accomplished by high mountains and overwhelming momentum, the efforts behind it were not the least.
Of course, Qi is not Xia.
In today's Southern Xia, even if the four prefectures of Fengli, Huiming, Shaokang, and Wanxing did not send out soldiers, the Liang people would not even dare to cross the border.
Shi Minghui's Winter Silence Army was not stationed in these four prefectures, but was stationed in Changluo Prefecture, which also reflected Qi's judgment on the degree of threat.
Today the sun shines on Hutai, and the cultural energy surges like clouds and smoke.
Three hundred candidates are taking the exam, one person for each case, three steps apart, writing strategies and arguments at random paces.
There are three questions in the policy discussion.
The question asked by Su Guanying himself was "I want to govern Southern Xinjiang." It was a very clear but broad question, and it openly asked the candidates to make suggestions for the governance of Southern Xinjiang.
The title proposed by Shi Minghui is: "How can disasters caused by water disasters be eliminated? This is Xia Yan".
Jiang Wang was pushed to the point of being unable to do anything, so he also asked a question, titled "The First Sect of Qi Xia".
It is not difficult to see that Marquis Wu An gave a scoring question. It is difficult for the candidates not to score. Of course, in such a general question, it is even more difficult to score high.
The soldiers on the sidelines are all wearing red robes, and there are many soldiers in charge. There are also generals patrolling with swords to supervise everywhere.
The top position.
Su Guanying, the governor of Southern Xia and the court council official, sat in the middle.
Shi Minghui, the governor of the Southern Xia Army and the commander-in-chief of the Winter Silence Army, sits on the left.
Jiang Wang, Marquis of Wu'an, sits on the right.
The three of them were sitting side by side.
Although Jiang Wang did not hold a position in Nanxia, in terms of status and influence, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the top three figures in Nanxia.
Of course, this is only true on the surface. Qi State still has other important figures in Southern Xia.
"Doctor Xie's move to defeat Guiyi was very beautiful. He used the power of thunder to suppress the Sixuan Underground Palace first and surrounded him without attacking. Then he stormed Guiyi and forced Anlebo to surrender. Then he turned around and took over the Sixuan Underground Palace. Therefore, this place is almost
No harm was done... should Marquis Wu An know?" Su Guanying asked from the main seat.
"I really don't know." Jiang Wang smiled bitterly: "I was not next to Xie Shuai at the time, and I fainted."
The ferocious-looking Shi Mingjuan laughed heartily, his beard and hair trembling like an angry lion.
Their voices stayed on the high platform, and they didn't worry about falling into the examination room and affecting anyone.
From the outside, the governor of Nanxia and the military governor were very harmonious. They were talking and laughing, and no one was neglecting the other.
"Supervisor Ruan has been in charge of the Si Xuan Underground Palace for so long. I don't know how it is being organized now," Su Guanying said.
Qintian Supervisor Zheng Ruan Yuan is currently in the Sixuan Underground Palace. Jiang Wang really doesn't know about this. It's also because he doesn't care much about it and never actively participates in political affairs hall meetings.
Shi Ming said in a loud voice: "The most exquisite collections in the Great Xia Palace were burned by the Empress Dowager Xia. Thanks to An Lebo's understanding of affairs, some were saved. As for the treasures in the Sixuan Underground Palace, Cao Shuai dragged them away at that time.
Hundreds of cars have been collected and gathered together, and there should be very few left. Supervisor Ruan is cleaning up the Si Xuan Underground Palace, isolating the inside and outside. I think it is more about cleaning up the rotten bones and killing those old guys who are facing death one by one."
"Isn't there more?" Su Guanying said: "When the emperor came here personally, he destroyed the Sixuan Underground Palace once. In the past few decades, it has not been easy for the Xia people to save this business. What else can be accumulated?
, I can’t believe it.”
"So it's about cleaning up the rotten bones." Shi Mingjuan said.
Ruan Yuan was secretly in charge of the Sixuan Underground Palace, and of course he was in charge of the Southern Xia Foundation. The Qi State was unwilling to put pressure on the Chu State openly, but it could not rest assured about the newly conquered Xia Di.
"Two adults." Jiang Wang didn't understand and asked: "Speaking of which, I have been to Jixia Academy to practice, and I also know about Erdemy in Mu Kingdom. I wonder what the difference is between them and Si Xuan Underground Palace?"
"If there is a difference, they are both cave heavens. If there is no difference, they are not of the same level at all." Su Guanying said with a smile: "The predecessor of Si Xuan Underground Palace is Tianzhu Si Xuantian, in the thirty-six small cave heavens
, ranked fourteenth. The Xia Kingdom has been running it for generations, and today’s Sixuan Underground Palace is here.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Blessed Land... Cave Heaven!
Jiang Wang's heart suddenly became enlightened and he understood a lot of information at once.
Su Guanying continued: "Our Jixia Academy inherited the Sun Palace of the old Yang Empire. Its predecessor was the Jintan Huayang Heaven, ranking eighth among the top ten caves. The Old Yang royal family operated for thousands of years before it became the Sun Palace.
Later, it was destroyed by the war. When our Qi country rose, it was restored under the hands of Emperor Wu, and it was even better than before, so today's Jixia Academy was born."
Shi Mingjuan also said: "The predecessor of Erdemi was the left god Youxu Tian, ranking ninth among the ten caves. It was obviously conceived by heaven and earth, but the Cangtu god was the one who sought the truth.
You have nothing to say about God’s wisdom. Haha!”
"Commander, be careful what you say." Su Guanying said softly: "In today's world situation, we and the Mu Kingdom are friends rather than enemies, and we still need to maintain respect for their supreme gods."
"Ha! I don't know whether he is dead or alive now." Shi Mingjue said nonchalantly: "Mu Tianzi is a capable person, and I admire her very much."
The ten major caves are naturally far above the thirty-six small caves. No wonder Su Guanying said that Si Xuan Underground Palace and Jixia Academy are not on the same level at all.
However, what are the specific differences between large and small caves and even blessed lands?
Although Jiang Wang studied at Jixia Academy, he still did not understand Jixia Academy.
At this moment, he just frowned: "What about the seventy-two blessed lands in Taixu Illusion Realm? As the two of them said, the ten big caves, the thirty-six small caves, and the seventy-two blessed lands are all heaven and earth.
Conceived, the place where truth is sought. Is the Taixu Sect so powerful that it monopolizes the seventy-two blessed lands? Or is it that when the Taixu Illusionary Realm was first established, all parties contributed their own blessed lands?"
"Who would be willing to indulge in the blessed land in hand?" Shi Mingjuan sighed: "Speaking of this, I really admire Xu Yuanzhi. That old man is a respectable man, and he really cares about the world.
I have no personal thoughts.”
"I don't know much about the founder of the Taixu Sect." Jiang Wang said, "I don't know how to say this?"
Shi Mingjue said: "The value of Cave Heaven is far greater than that of Blessed Land, more than a hundred times. In order to promote Taixu Illusion, Xu Yuanzhi donated the Taixu Pavilion of Taixu Sect and allocated it to the seventy-two Blessed Lands with a fixed share.
The owners of these blessed lands have obtained these blessings in exchange. If they can’t benefit from it, who will let go of the blessed lands in their hands?”
"The predecessor of Taixu Pavilion is Chaozhen Taixu Tian, which ranks 23rd among the thirty-six small caves. Moreover, the Taixu Sect manages it very well and is not inferior to the forefront. Xu Yuan will take it
Contributing it can be said to be a heart-breaking service to others, which directly led several elders of the Taixu sect to rebel! Because he wanted to exchange the cave heaven for the blessed land, many forces competed for the blessed land at a high price, and participated in the distribution of the Taixu Pavilion, which shows how precious it is.
And what Xu Yuan wants is just to use the seventy-two blessed lands to enhance the attraction of the Taixu Illusion Realm to the Shenlin cultivators, so that the Taixu Illusion Realm can grow faster."
"But in fact it doesn't seem to be very ideal?" Jiang Wang asked.
Shi Mingjue said: "Nothing can be accomplished overnight, especially something that revolutionizes the era like Taixu Illusion. The unfortunate thing is... Although Xu Yuanzhi endured pressure from all parties and made huge sacrifices, in exchange for
The Seventy-Two Blessed Lands joined the Taixu Illusion Realm system, but at that time they failed to pass the resolutions of all parties. The news of Taixu Illusion Realm was blocked for a long time and has only been open to a small area. Therefore, his Chaozhen Taixu Tian was almost in vain.
Changed."
"Aren't you slowly letting go now?" Su Guanying said: "Sometimes moving too fast is not necessarily a good thing. For this kind of thing that is constantly changing the times and benefiting the world, I think no one can be too cautious.
.”
Obviously, as far as Taixu Illusion Realm is concerned, Shi Minghui's attitude is supportive. But Su Guanying's attitude is relatively cautious.
Within the Qi State alone, there are different attitudes towards the Taixu Illusion Realm. If it is put into the world, there will inevitably be more dissent.
How strong the resistance of reality is, those who really move forward can fully understand it.
It’s really hard to imagine how Xu Yuanzhi persuaded every force, how the emperors of the most powerful countries in the world recognized it, how the ancient sects who dominated the world recognized it... how to realize the idea step by step, and how to smooth things over.
Those resistances push the illusory realm of Taixu into the real world.
It is impossible for people without great wisdom, courage and perseverance to accomplish such a great undertaking.
Shi Minghui asked at this time: "Marquis Wu'an, you are the envoy of Taixu. The earliest Taixu corner tower in the country is your property. What attitude do you think we should use towards the illusion of Taixu?"
"You are not young enough to understand the world, but your talent is not enough to judge the world?" Jiang Wang waved his hand: "What I have seen and heard is too narrow-minded. If the commander asks me now, I don't know how to answer. Wait.
When can I see the reality of the world and discuss such important matters again."
Part of the reason why he came to Nanxia as soon as he returned to Linzi was to avoid the Qi court's small-scale court discussion regarding the Taixu Scroll.
When he was on a mission to the grassland, Xu Zeming from the Taixu Sect stopped him halfway and asked him to support the creation of the Taixu Scroll in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
He didn't agree in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't confirm whether his idea on this matter was right or wrong.
On the one hand, the creation of the Taixu Scroll carries the risk of the Taixu Sect imposing its interference. But on the other hand, the greatness of the Taixu Illusion is unquestionable. The creation of the Taixu Scroll can undoubtedly strengthen the construction of the Taixu Illusion.
, accelerate its evolution.
The stronger you are, the more you know how to fear the world.
Therefore, he simply remained silent on such a grand matter. I thought that those truly great people would have their responses that penetrated time.
"Marquis Wu'an is too humble." Su Guanying said with a smile: "The official examination in Southern Xinjiang was so smooth this time, all thanks to Marquis Wu'an's thunderous methods. When the cavalry patrolled, all the demons and monsters were frightened. If you have little talent, wouldn't my governor-general's mansion be the best?
Is he a loser?"
Jiang Wang bowed and said, "It's just killing a few people, it's not really a skill."
In order to complete the official examination in southern Xinjiang and ensure that the examination is conducted in a fair atmosphere, Jiang Wang personally formed a 2,000-strong cavalry force. All the knights were his old troops who fought with him in the Qi-Xia War.
After a levy order, those who responded gathered together. The best of the best were selected to form this team. This cavalry only obeyed his orders and had nothing to do with the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.
As the Marquis of Wu'an in Qi, he was already qualified to open a palace and establish a family. The formation of a guard of less than 10,000 people was in compliance with the regulations of the imperial court, and there was no need to apply separately.
Taking advantage of this supervisory officer examination, he also formed his own team in Xia Di.
Of course, raising such a cavalry is also a huge expense, and the current income of the Chitan fiefdom alone is simply not enough to support it.
Jiang Wang is currently asking the Southern Xia Governor's Mansion to allocate a large amount of resources in the name of supervising the official examination. After the official examination is over, he will need to spend his own money to support it.
But at that time, Dugu Xiao's management of the fiefdom should have been on the right track. It was just in time to connect Desheng Trading Company's business to Xia Di... raising troops and horses, with a scale of less than 10,000 people, it was not a big problem.
It is worth mentioning that after careful consideration, Xue Rushi chose to resign from the post of Fengli magistrate and gave up the official examination. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to Jiang Wang and was responsible for commanding this Tiqi.
People at that time called it "Laoshan Iron Cavalry".
The guards are all wearing red robes, one of hundreds of people, and one of them supervises a government. The Tiqi dispersed everywhere and inspected the examination rooms in various cities. Anyone who cheated or who was not strict in invigilating the examination will be punished.
Jiang Wang even carried his sword himself and patrolled various mansions, killing many people who relied on their background - whether they were from the Governor's Mansion or the Military Mansion, they were all killed.
In the first large-scale official examination after Xia Di surrendered, there might be some characters that Tiqi couldn't deal with, but there were no people that Jiang Wang couldn't deal with...
His tough attitude and resolute approach almost eliminated any malpractice in this official examination.
The fairness of the Southern Xinjiang official examination has long-term benefits for both Su Guanying and Shi Minghui, so they are very cooperative. Even if someone under Jiang Wang is killed like a chicken or a dog, no matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface
I just clapped my hands and cheered.
"Killing is not a skill. Knowing when to kill and knowing who to kill is a rare skill."
At this time, Shi Mingjue looked at the candidates who were writing so fast in the audience, with deep eyes: "Chen Zhisheng, the only son of Chen Tingqian, the prefect of Jiangyong, disappeared five days ago, and there is no news yet. Does Marquis Wu An know about this?"
