Chapter 231: The direction of the movement of the mind
"That's... the direction of east or north?"
Jialan's thoughts were full of thoughts for a while.
Some trouble.
He would rather Miaoyu not point randomly so easily, although he also knows that the feeling of resonance is difficult to explain clearly.
However, in this direction, Beidi, Dongchen, and Fusang...the most chaotic areas in the entire Eastern world of Red Mansions are suddenly included.
After a long silence, Jia Lan smiled bitterly: "This is probably the most difficult direction. We don't even have the most basic information. As you said, we lack all the ancient books and documents that can be consulted."
The little brother suddenly spoke and said two words: "Map..."
Map?
Jia Lan and Miao Yu looked at each other, feeling happy at the same time: Could it be that he remembered something again?
In response, the younger brother nodded: "I just think that in such an important place, there must be a map left as a guide. What we are looking for should be the map."
"It's very possible." Jia Lan calmed down and thought carefully, agreeing with the younger brother's view.
"It's just..." Miaoyu frowned: "Even if we know it's a map, where can we find it?"
Seeing Jia Lan looking at her with burning eyes, Miaoyu shook her head in embarrassment.
"I also want to know the answer to this question, but I have no inspiration."
Although she tried her best to hide it, there was a hint of fatigue in Miaoyu's tone.
I'm afraid it's not that simple to use this heart hexagram...
Feeling Miaoyu's somewhat weakened aura, Jialan lowered his head to calm down the chaotic thoughts in his heart, then cast an apologetic look at Miaoyu and said remorsefully: "It doesn't matter, I was too impatient.
, I am the one who should say sorry."
Jia Lan's soft tone was like throwing a stone on a calm lake, causing ripples to appear in Miaoyu's water-like eyes.
Just listen to Jia Lan continue:
"Indeed, as I just said, we need to take a long-term approach.
Think about it again, maybe you can think of other ways from another angle.
Don't be anxious..."
At this time, Jia Lan's mood had completely calmed down.
And he also has new ideas.
Regarding Daozang's whereabouts, people in this era are not sure. Maybe Yu Linglong and Qin Keqing will know some information?
"Sorry, Langeer, I have never heard of anything like what you said..."
As soon as Qin Keqing finished speaking, Yu Linglong said: "I don't have it either, it's not enough... Maybe you can find the two people who took me down to the Great Wilderness Mountain. They may know."
One monk and one monk?!
Jialan suddenly woke up!
That’s right! If others don’t say it, that monk has actually appeared.
Although the Yisengyiyi who was supposed to appear in the Ma Daopo incident did not appear in the end because Jialan resolved the matter, Jialan was convinced that the Yisengyiyiyi existed in this world.
Whether it's Xue Baochai's Lengxiang Pills or Lin Daiyu's childhood, there are traces of the monk.
It's a pity that Yu Linglong doesn't know the whereabouts of these two people.
"They didn't know what means they used to coax me down from the mountain. When I woke up, they were long gone."
When talking about these two people, Yu Linglong is still full of resentment.
Yu Linglong's suggestion is undoubtedly very constructive. Compared with aimlessly searching for ancient books that don't know where they are hidden, it is easier to find these two people with distinctive appearance.
"Brother Lan, I suddenly thought of a place." Qin Keqing's voice sounded again.
"There is a place that may have the books you are looking for."
Jia Lan heard this and quickly asked where it was.
"I heard this from Jia Zhen of Dongfu. One day he was dining with visiting guests. Jia Rong and I were accompanying him. I heard him mention that there was a place in the palace called Huang Shi Chen, also known as Huang Shi Chen.
Shenzhang Pavilion."
Jia Lan said: "I know that the so-called Huangshichen is actually the archives of the royal family in Daucheng."
Ke Qing nodded: "Not only that, Jia Zhen once mentioned that there is the largest golden chamber and stone chamber in Huangshicheng, which contains ancient books inherited from the former Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that it was accidentally discovered by Emperor Yongle of the former Ming Dynasty when he was still a vassal king.
A large book collection site was found in the ruins of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. It contains many books collected by the royal family of the former Song Dynasty over hundreds of years.
Jia Zhen also said that it is said that Emperor Yongle Zhu Di relied on the books collected in this site to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers to defeat Emperor Jianwen and take the position of supreme leader in the Nine-Five-Year Plan.
When he built Shenjing City, he deliberately moved this pile of books to the Ouchi Emperor Shicheng.
Later, the Qian Ming Dynasty was overthrown, and Li Shun's troops were driven away by Beidi who entered the Pass before they could gain a foothold in Shenjing. After Beidi destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were immediately driven out of the Central Plains by the rising Emperor Gao.
The collection of books in the Golden Chamber Stone Chamber was not affected by the war.
Maybe, Langeer, you can try to look there."
Jia Lan thought for a while and said: "According to your statement, these books are kept deep in the Imperial Palace. How can it be so easy to get in?"
"It's difficult for others, but it's probably not difficult for you, Langeer."
Qin Keqing said: "I heard from Jia Zhen that anyone who is a member of the Hanlin Academy can enter with a badge to check books and information, but they need to register and file."
Hanlin Academy?
Jia Lan finally understood what Qin Keqing wanted to say.
Hanlin Academy... If this is the case, then it is really possible for me to enter Huangshicheng to check the information.
As long as he goes to high school in the next spring and passes the first-class examination in the subsequent palace examination, Jia Lan can enter the Hanlin Academy to study for one year, which is to observe politics, that is, to practice.
The ancients were not fools. They were keen to be officials and also had a mature political philosophy.
For example, they know that "the ruler of the country is the greatest weapon in the world and carries the most important responsibilities."
We also know that "the law is applied to people, no matter how small it is, you must be cautious."
In the early years of the former Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on his outstanding political talents to greatly innovate the national system. Even the subsequent Qing Dynasty evolved the system of the former Ming Dynasty.
The establishment of the Guanzheng Jinshi system is one of the manifestations of Ming Taizu’s political wisdom.
"After ten years of hard work and no one asked, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop."
With huge benefits, the imperial examination has become a "career" that scholars pursue throughout their lives.
Regarding the imperial examination system, which was supreme in the minds of scholars, Zhu Yuanzhang found that it was not perfect. For example, most of the candidates for the imperial examination were "young people of later generations" with no experience in doing things. Few of them could take on major tasks. Their ability to solve practical problems was poor, especially in learning and
Used out of context.
To put it simply, many of those who passed the imperial examination were rotten scholars who studied to death.
So in the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the imperial examination to be stopped.
"There are many young people who have been born in the future. If you look at their words and expressions, if they can be used, there are very few people who can put what they have learned into practice. I seek talents with sincerity, but the world responds to me with false words. It is not my responsibility to seek truth.
It is the intention of the virtuous. It is appropriate to suspend the imperial examinations everywhere now."
Ten years later, the imperial examination was resumed and the Jinshi system of Guanzheng was established.
Except for Sanding Jia, who directly conferred positions, Zhu Yuanzhang, the other Jinshi, ordered them to observe the government in various departments, give them eighth-grade official salaries, and wait until they are familiar with government affairs before promoting them.
After Yongle, this system gradually declined, but in the Great Xia Dynasty, this system was revived.
