Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has continued the previous national policy and has not issued any special decrees.
Regarding the Emperor Worship Cult, they have made some statements.
Although the imperial court did not conduct military expeditions, the civil servants also criticized him verbally and in writing.
It can be seen from this that the new emperor is still determined to eradicate this cancer. Perhaps he is waiting for the opportunity and has temporarily given up the use of force.
There is another possibility, that is, they are building momentum for the next move, waiting for public opinion to be incited before making good plans.
Qi Yu secretly sighed: It seems that the new emperor still has some worries.
really!
For now, the Emperor Worshipers in Yongchuan Prefecture have been uprooted and can no longer make any waves. The only one left is the Ge Qiu branch in Le'an, Shandong.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why the emperor did not act rashly must be related to the overt protection of King Yan.
Just after he ascended the throne, he fell out with his old uncle?
This is not very wise!
You know, King Yan worked very hard and had a military background. Even the late emperor was afraid of him when he was alive, not to mention the current little emperor?
From this point of view, verbal and written criticism is still the safest approach.
Chatting is the strong point of literati.
At least that's what the generals think.
It is said that a bachelor named Wu from the Hanlin Academy was the most active. He wrote a beautifully eloquent "High Theory" overnight, which greatly enhanced his presence in front of the emperor.
The whole article is written fluently and is a good promotional article.
Later, state governments at all levels also used this article as a model. After printing, it was widely disseminated in the form of leaflets. As long as they are literate, they can request and read it for free.
After Qi Yu read it, he found that the article was quite high-quality and explained the essence of Emperor Worship.
According to the analysis of this article, Emperor Worshiping combines Western religion with Confucianism’s idea of great harmony, and then blends it into the so-called doctrine. However, the two are not completely compatible, and there are remarks criticizing Confucius.
I see!
Eh~~~
Qi Yu suddenly trembled and thought: This teaching seems familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. Oh, now that I think about it, isn't this the tone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations?
hehe……
Saints are not criticized casually. The result is that they become enemies of scholars all over the world!
Don't underestimate the power of scholars, each of them can gather a storm of public opinion pressure with just a drop of spit.
Back to business.
As soon as the criticism of the Imperial Worship Cult passed, the students calmed down and continued their sprint before the exam, as if nothing had happened.
Yes, does this have anything to do with them?
Learning is the main thing!
"Zigong asked..."
"Jianjia is green, white dew is frost..."
The sound of reading aloud can be heard endlessly, and the literary style in the government school is at its peak.
Inside the dormitory.
Qi Yu also got into a fight with Yin Jun, neither of them willing to be outdone.
"I said, whoever goes to bed first tonight will be the grandson!"
"No! I didn't sleep all night last night, so I won't accompany you today!"
boom!
The window is closed.
Qi Yu looked up and saw a small sign on Yin Jun's window with the words "War Free" written on it.
…
The clothes are wet and the apricot blossoms rain.
Yes, spring is here, everything is coming back to life, it’s the spring season again, and the air is filled with the smell of hormones.
Compared to the drizzle outside the window, it was a violent storm inside the house.
After a long drought, Qi Yu finally opened his mouth and immersed himself in the long-lost world of the two of them.
"Ms. sir, why is your belly getting bigger and bigger?"
"Now that the conditions are better and there is more oil and water, how can I not be fat? You are also talking about me, aren't you a lot plumper? Look, these two have changed again..."
"You also said, see if I don't twist you to death..."
"Oh, keep your voice down, don't wake up your son."
After playing around for a while, Liu Quan said: "My uncle sent someone to send a message. He said that cousin Chunsheng passed the exam and he is now a child. My younger brother Jincheng also passed the test without any danger.
, I heard that he is in Sun Shan’s position.”
Qi Yu smiled and said: "They are all good things, and they are very happy. I will write a letter tomorrow to encourage them, so that they can increase their confidence and continue the imperial examination. It is best to win the scholar in one go. If anyone has not enough money.
, just lend them some, you can’t be vague about your future."
"Ms. sir, you are so kind. I would like to thank you on behalf of my brother."
"How can I thank you? How about another Sanyang Kaitai?"
"Hmm~~~~~"
Looking at Liu Quan, who was still trying to talk with her dimples like flowers, Qi Yu laughed mischievously again.
…
Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.
The cool north wind blew gently, and the leaves turned from flourishing to withered.
Just when Qi Xiao started to learn to walk in Handan, Qi Yu embarked on the journey to take the provincial examination.
Before we even set off, the whole family started to give instructions and instructions, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
Although it has become normal for him to leave home for scientific examinations in recent years, Liu Quan is still worried. He has to prepare everything for food, use and clothing along the way, for fear of missing anything.
Zhou also restarted the God-seeking mode. In addition to three sticks of incense a day, she also had a non-stop supply of first-class champion chickens. In her spare time, she even sewed a short coat for her son.
Mother hands line, wandering clothing.
Putting on this dress, Qi Yu felt caring and warm.
Xiaotong read some books and already had some ink in her stomach. She imitated Mr. Peng's tone and said in an old-fashioned way: "Black-haired people don't know how to study early, and white-haired people regret studying late. Dad, you are still young now, you must remember
Work diligently to avoid sadness..."
Little brat, do you dare to say that your father is young?
But...this sounds pretty good.
The one who was most reluctant to let go was Zhan Qi Xiao. Qi Yu hugged him dotingly and couldn't let go for a long time...
Finally, he was cruel and left as his family watched him eagerly.
The location of the rural examination is the provincial capital, which is the center of a province.
The journey is far away, and it takes about half a month to arrive. Therefore, students also choose to leave early to avoid delays on the way.
Qi Yu and Qi Jing shared a car and went to the provincial capital together.
The benefits of traveling together are obvious, not to mention saving money, but more importantly, safety is guaranteed.
From ancient times to the present, scholars rushing to take exams have been the favorite targets of robbers. They are all burdened with money and do not have strong resistance. They are the soft persimmons that are easy to deal with.
Just robbing money is enough. What you fear most is meeting thieves who are looking for money and death. That would be really fatal!
Alas!
The road to the imperial examination is not only difficult, but also risky. It depends on who is more lucky.
However, with Qi Jing's big body standing there, which robber without a sharp eye would dare to attack?
You know, at a critical moment, this guy really dares to kill someone.
So as long as he is here, you will be safe.
On the way, the two of them were laughing and joking, sometimes discussing articles and sometimes talking about interesting things at home, which was not boring at all.
"Shaocheng, why do I feel that you are fat?"
"Indeed, as the saying goes, you gain three pounds during the holidays."
"Are you more than three pounds like this?"
"Let me do the math for you, New Year's Day, New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, these festivals add up..."
Qi Yu's words are reasonable and well-founded, and he is conclusive about his horizontal development.
The two of them laughed.
Later, Qi Jing also talked about his marriage.
Well, it should be said that this is his latest development in becoming a son-in-law.
He said that the woman's father was relieved after learning that he wanted to pass the provincial examination. Not only did he not raise any objections, but he also actively supported it and said: If his son-in-law wins the provincial examination, he will be even happier.
More happiness than happiness? What does it mean?
not understand.
However, Qi Yu could feel that his father-in-law was definitely not an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, the first thing that would come to his mind would be the crisis caused by the wrong family. But this old man was happy and worry-free. How could he be an ordinary person?
?
…
The journey went smoothly and we didn't encounter any robbers.
However, before arriving in the provincial capital, Qi Yu felt the pressure of the provincial examination.
On the road, thousands of talented people were flocking to him, which shows how great the temptation of Kai Enke is.
Among these people, there are old academics with white hair and young students who have just grown up. There are all kinds of people.
Qi Yu originally thought that he was a junior student and already a high-level existence. He never thought that among these people, there were actually people who had passed the exam.
Candidates who are candidates for the secondary list are not allowed to take the examination, but they can drop out of the subject and then take the examination for the main list.
Tsk tsk~~
There is no sense of superiority at all.
If we follow the words of later generations of immortal cultivating novels, here it is: transformed gods roam the earth, and the Nascent Soul is not as good as a dog.
Sweat!
You can imagine how difficult it is to stand out in a crowd with such a huge denominator.
"Although there are thousands of people, I will go."
Qi Yu sighed sadly and was filled with emotions.
However, when we arrived at the bustling provincial capital, we found that the city was already overcrowded.
Just imagine, so many talented people gather here, how can it not be crowded?
All the major inns are already full, and even the private houses of the common people are in short supply and are rented by students at high prices. It is said that some poor scholars live in dilapidated temples in the suburbs in order to save money.
There are no apartments in the provincial capital, but there are local clubs where you can stay.
Most of these clubs are led by local government agencies and then run by merchants raising funds and donations. They are semi-public and semi-private institutions.
On weekdays, it is used to receive official business or hold several business meetings. If it is the imperial examination year like now, it will also be open to students with suitable conditions.
So, what conditions are suitable?
To put it simply, as long as you have a recommendation letter from a government school or a county school, you are considered qualified.
Yu Hai was very helpful in this regard. As soon as Qi Yu opened his mouth, he immediately approved two quotas.
One for myself, and the other is for Qi Jing.
The two of them arrived at the hometown association with letters of recommendation and quickly completed the check-in procedures.
I thought that the environment inside the hometown club would be better, but it turned out to be no different than the apartments in Fucheng. They were all dilapidated old houses.
The steward said that there were indeed good rooms, but they were not for idlers.
Want to live?
That's fine, let's wait until you win the election first. Then, when the time comes, I'll beg you to come and live there!
Qi Yu and Qi Jing looked at each other and sighed sadly.
Let's just do this for now. This is better than living in a ruined temple. At least safety is guaranteed.
The scene from the past happened again, and as soon as I opened the door of my residence, I felt a familiar masculine scent.
Qi Jing didn't take it seriously, and said as if on conditioned reflex: "The Master said, you can go into an abalone house for a long time without smelling the smell!"
Yes, once you get used to it, you won’t find it unpleasant.
