After Wen Rensheng thought of these nodes, the next step was how to flip them.
As for why it is reversed, it is because only by turning the pros and cons of true and false, and reversing them, can we break through this world of Red Mansions.
Just as a thing shows its cracks, it is when it is turned over.
How to flip the first node?
Kill Jia Zhen?
Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family and the head of the Ningguo Mansion. Among the two mansions, her status is second only to Jia's mother.
There is no doubt about this.
Moreover, he is quite capable, and he can be the general among the dwarfs. His ability is definitely first-class among the men in the entire Jia family's direct line.
This can be seen from the fact that after Qin Keqing died, he was able to hold a huge funeral, and all the four princes and princes sent people to pay their respects.
This is something no one else can do.
However, it was because of his ability and ambition that he hid Qin Keqing.
This is the orphan of the emperor's political enemy, the old and troubled Prince Yizhong, Chitose.
He wanted to bet on the side that the imperial power would win, but he made the wrong bet and was completely defeated.
The whole family of the Ningguo Mansion was ransacked, all the male members of the direct line were arrested, and all the property was confiscated, leaving no chance for recovery. However, only one Jia She was lost in the Rongguo Mansion, and the others were identified and released, including Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng.
, even a lot of family property was returned, and people were basically fine.
In the sequel, the story of the confiscation of Jia's house is briefly discussed, only that Jia She and Jia Zhen were punished and sentenced to exile. However, Cao Gong had made it clear that Jia She, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong would not be able to survive eighty chapters ago.
How is it possible to violate imperial power and still want to be exiled?
It is not difficult to kill Jia Zhen, but it is difficult to find someone to fill the vacancy after Jia Zhen.
How to kill Jia Zhen, but also in a reasonable way.
There were too many tricks for Wen Rensheng.
He looked through the projects he had done in the past and found a simple and trouble-free method that would not cause a big mess.
…………
What kind of food did Jia Zhen like to eat? They spent some money to ask people to find out from the boy and the mother-in-law. They just thought that someone wanted to curry favor with Uncle Zhen, so they naturally told her casually.
What's more, Jia Zhen is not the emperor, the emperor will fall into the water and die, and many people die in unknown circumstances, let alone a nobleman who is in decline?
Wen Rensheng mixed several things together, and even if he used a silver needle to test for poison, it would be useless.
Then he found people from the Jia family's village and sent them to the mansion regularly. As a sign of filial piety in the village, no one thought it was strange. In the village, it is common to show filial piety to the elders by eating and playing with things.
One month later, Jia Zhen suddenly fell ill and died.
The imperial doctor came to see him, but he only said that he died because of excessive intake of essence and blood.
In fact, the imperial doctor believed that the patient ate too well and lacked exercise, and died of a stroke, which was a cerebral hemorrhage.
People with long-term high blood pressure are often at risk.
Jia Zhen is dead.
Jia Rong on top.
However, the title dropped again.
In short, it is only a few generations away from being exonerated.
But Wen Rensheng is not worried, Jia Rong was replaced by Wang Wenwen...
…………
Time flies by.
After three months, the first level of the scholars in Shuntian Prefecture began.
County examination.
Among the Jia family members who took the exam were Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong.
The test center is located in the county government hall of Daxing County near the capital.
Of course, the Jia family has already taken care of things.
The two successfully passed the evaluation of the county magistrate, but neither of them became chief executives.
Because the title of Eucalyptus means that the county magistrate will recommend scholars, and the county magistrate is also afraid of taking responsibility and has a reputation of currying favor with the powerful.
Then came the government examination and the college examination, each test was more difficult than the last, and each test was more stringent than the last, making it more and more difficult to pass.
It's okay to say that the prefectural examination is conducted by the prefect of the capital, so he can continue to build relationships and take care of me.
But when it came to the college examination, the academic administration examination appointed by the imperial court began.
What also shocked Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen was that during the academy examination, scholars were not allowed to leave their seats to go to the toilet.
There is a toilet for you in the dormitory, and you can deal with it here.
If you go to the restroom in the middle, even if you are accompanied by an examiner, your paper will be black-stamped by the examiner, and the examiner will not read it during the final marking and will directly reject it.
The college examination is not the modern two hours, but lasts for a whole day.
As a result, the entire examination room was filled with the smell of urination and defecation, which really made the two girls stunned...
"Don't they say that scholars are given preferential treatment? This is simply insulting to gentlemen." Zhao Han said helplessly.
No wonder Jia Baoyu is unwilling to take scientific examinations. Who is willing to suffer this?
It is simply unbelievable that such a noble young man should be subjected to the crime of this court examination.
No wonder Jia Zhu died early and suffered a lot.
"Oh, Lao Wen said that this is to grind down the kneecaps of ordinary people and turn ordinary people into people who kneel down to worship the emperor. This polishing is the first step." Xiao Huan said very understandingly.
Fortunately, there was someone in the Jia family who had inquired early, so both of them cleaned up early and did not relieve themselves for the whole day.
The price is a dry mouth and an empty stomach.
"What does this mean? In the future, when you are an official and go to court, you will have to do this every day. Otherwise, if the emperor asks you, you are asking for death if you say I go to the toilet before coming back... I really thought it was like working in modern times, and you can still get paid.
..." Xiao Huan laughed.
Fortunately, the college examination was finally over. After leaving the examination room, Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen left with the support of the maids and servants.
There was no problem in the exam. Zhao Han cheated because of Xiao Huan, and his eight-part essay was okay.
Wang Wenwen has always been a top student, with the learning resources of Ningguo Mansion, and with the Jia family's current reputation, a scholar can't escape either.
After they finished the exam, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong's uncle and nephew asked a servant to open a private room in the restaurant and spent thirteen and a half taels of silver to buy an exquisite banquet.
Shut away the servants and maids, leaving only the two of them talking in a quiet room.
Although I was extremely nauseous, my appetite still defeated my brain's nausea after being hungry for a whole day.
"It's really hard. I didn't expect that studying was not the difficulty, but the examination room was the difficulty." Zhao Han said bitterly.
The dormitories are all open, and the exit faces the corridor. The smell spread throughout the examination room, and some people took it easy on the spot because they didn't want to go to the toilet to invalidate their exam papers.
After all, there are always special circumstances when hundreds of people take exams.
The taste is even more amazing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's better to be a modern student. This person was a so-called scholar in ancient times, and he also kneeled." Wang Wenwen sighed.
"Of course. No wonder there were so many talented candidates in ancient times, but a scholar failed to pass the exam, or only passed the exam in his thirties. These extra tests are too many." Zhao Han thought about these three tests, almost to a large extent.
It's all because of the Jia family's reputation that we can have a stable exam environment.
Including examination experience, guarantor, relationship with examiner... etc. It is very, very complicated.
Otherwise, if you are placed near a bad cell, you won't have to take the exam.
Feudal society did not engage in invention and creation, but spent a lot of time playing tricks on people's minds.
"Eat the food, eat the food. Now that the scholar exam is over, do you still want to take the exam?" Wang Wenwen picked up some food for his friend.
"Of course I'll take the exam. I heard that it's much more difficult to be a scholar than to be a scholar." Zhao Han thought for a moment and said.
"Then you are wrong. In some places, it is easier to pass the examination than to be a scholar." Wang Wenwen then talked about the secret given by an old Jinshi from the capital she invited.
It turns out that in order to take the test for merit and fame, if a person has a strong family fortune, he can ask someone to go to some remote place to leave his place of origin. After taking the test for merit and fame, he can then transfer his place of origin.
Of course, after this operation, you can't stop it without a few thousand taels of silver, and there are still some consequences. When you become an official in the future, you will be criticized by others in social circles.
So most candidates don’t even think about it.
And a person with so much money can donate to an official position in his place of origin.
Jia Zhen bought the Dragon Guard for Jia Rong, but it only cost 1,200 taels of silver.
This approach is only available to those from wealthy families, talented people, but unlucky.
"That's it." Zhao Han suddenly realized.
Then she felt that it was too stupid to do this, and she had to change her place of origin. In ancient times, traveling back and forth could easily lead to death.
Remote places are often filled with disease, and it is easy to become acclimatized.
This is why few people use this method.
"You two are too courageous. Do you really know that walls have ears?" Just as Zhao Han and Zhao Han were talking vigorously, a voice came.
Then the door of the private room was pushed open, and a young Taoist priest with extraordinary charm suddenly walked in.
Zhao Han was stunned for a moment, then looked again and found that the Taoist priest looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, he was surprised and said: "Teacher, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, your words will be listened to. You are all too brave. Do you really think that this world will not affect your true body? Has forgetting about the world of Journey to the West caused a reversal of time and space, and has the memory returned?"
Wen Rensheng sat on the upper seat and poured himself a cup of fruit juice.
"We are not very courageous. Teacher, you are more courageous if you just bring the real body in." Wang Wenwen said angrily.
"Yes," Zhao Han said after hearing this, "Teacher, how do you enter directly with your own body?"
"Because in the world of Red Mansion, I don't like to use other people's bodies." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
In fact, there was a misunderstanding between the two of them, and the truth was also false when it was fake.
When he entered the world of Red Mansions, he seemed to be using his real body, but in fact, what appeared here was just the shadow of his real body.
"Oh, I don't feel that way. This Jia Rong body is quite comfortable for me to use. The biggest advantage is that I don't have to worry about my mouth anymore and can eat and drink as much as I want." Wang Wenwen
As he spoke, he gnawed on a large lamb chop.
The food and drink of this era have become very refined, with seasonings and spices, and the types of food are basically the same as those of later generations. Rich people eat better than most people in later generations.
"Teacher, are you here to give me some advice?" Zhao Han was certainly not a foodie, so she quickly asked about business.
"Of course I have some advice. If I don't show up, you two will be in trouble, and you are still here eating, drinking and enjoying yourself." Wen Rensheng drank the pulp.
Yes, this is freshly squeezed by hand and tastes extremely delicious.
"What kind of disaster is coming?" Zhao Han asked in horror.
"Jia Zhen died before. You all attended his funeral, but do you know how he died?" Wen Rensheng asked.
"Isn't that what you did, teacher?" Zhao Han asked cautiously. Xiao Huan told him.
Yes, although she cannot use extraordinary power, Xiao Huan and Wen Rensheng are one, and she can share memories as long as Wen Rensheng allows it.
This is also the reason why Zhao Han asked Xiaohuan to cheat.
She can't learn eight-legged essay, but the teacher must be omniscient.
"I did this, but do you know why I killed him?" Wen Rensheng asked.
"It's not because of this guy..." Wang Wenwen said subconsciously, but he took it back mid-sentence. My friend is still here, so don't pollute the other person's pure heart.
"Haha, if you think about it carefully, all the leading figures in the Red Mansion will not have a good fate as the eldest brother. The same is true for Jia Zhen, Jia She, and the Xue family. Do you know why this is?" Wen Rensheng continued to ask.
"I don't know." Zhao Han shook his head.
"I know it's because the emperor is afraid of the four major families." Wang Wenwen gave an answer.
"You are wrong. Mother Jia said that they are just a middle-class wealthy family. Why should the emperor be afraid of them? And you can clearly know that the Jia family had to go to court every time when faced with a palace eunuch's request for bribes.
Thousands of taels of silver were spent, and Jia Lian was so angry that he felt distressed and asked, "When will this trouble come to an end?" Wen Rensheng shook his head and said.
"That's right. A big eunuch can make the Jia family tremble, but where can they get the energy to make Jia Yu Village rise to prominence?" Wang Wenwen asked again doubtfully.
"As the village said, Jia Yucun himself was a Jinshi, talented, and fell from being upright to tactful. His official position was naturally promoted all the way. This is an important hidden line, symbolizing that the feudal scientific examination was on the right track, and the final outcome was also in vain. Jia Yucun
The real power of the four major families was Wang Ziteng. The emperor no longer trusted Wang Ziteng and later captured him. When he died of illness and Concubine Yuan died of illness, the Jia family fell. Wang Ziteng was also the leader.
You will die anyway." Wenren Shengdan said calmly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Uh, teacher, you have said a lot, but you still haven't explained why the leader will die?"
"Because this is the fate of the entire world. The world cannot find hope or a way out, so whoever rushes forward will suffer the greatest backlash in the world. Of course, it is written like this in the book, but in fact, the people who suffer the most backlash are the common people.
Ah." Wen Rensheng finally told the truth.
Wang Wenwen said in surprise: "So that's it, I understand! Yes, the entire Dream of Red Mansions is about how life is in vain. What's the reason?"
"Where is it?" Zhao Han promptly complimented his friends.
"The reason is that the author's own era was in a confused and chaotic era. The author has seen the inevitable scene that the feudal dynasty will perish. He thought hard but could not find a solution. The author has written about many Western items in the book
, but he did not write Western ideological books? Why, because it was banned and destroyed by the Qing government, the author's vision was limited. He could only see objects, not literature, and could only seek for it in the ancient thoughts of Lao and Zhuang monks.
The answer is, everything can be solved only by becoming a monk..." Wang Wenwen answered enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes, then do you know how to solve it?" Wen Rensheng said with a smile.
"I'm too familiar with this answer," Zhao Han raised his hand to answer, not letting his friends steal the limelight. "The way to save the Red Mansion lies in four words."
"Fengyue Baojian?" Wang Wenwen blurted out.
"Industry! Revolution!" Zhao Han sighed word by word.
"That's right, that's right." Wen Rensheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The Dream of Red Mansions does mention the clothes of Rakshasa and the self-ringing bells of Europe. It's a pity that the most important things in the West are not seen. This is not the fault of the author, it is because he is corrupt and backward.
The Qing court only imported items, not books. Without seeing the most important Western ideas, the author could only struggle to find a way out, but he could not find a way out. In the end, he could only write an ending of disillusionment, and we have to do
It’s about giving this world a hope.”
"Only the future can contain all possibilities, and the future can realize eternity. Ancient humans could not believe that people in the future could fly to the moon and Mars, and now humans cannot believe that the future can be reborn forever. However, this is all possible.
"
"What you really want to do is not to take the imperial examination and become an official, but to inject hope of prosperity into the world of Red Mansions."
"And these cannot be solved by being an official. Being an official can only prosper the Jia family for a while. What you have to do is to transform the Jia family into an ancient family like McCann and Europe that has been around for hundreds of years. It will not be extremely prosperous.
But it won’t be extremely bad, and it will be solved in a unified manner from the external environment to the internal structure.”
