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 tens of thousands of people to the streets.
The tiger platform of the past is here now, and the princes and princes of the past have turned into 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 in Southern Xia, as long as they meet the basic requirements, will participate in this large-scale official examination.
There are three levels of examination: city examination, government examination and official examination.
There were three hundred people who finally came to Hutai.
Those who have made it to this point are already rare talents. Even if they do poorly in the exam this time, they will still have an official status.
And among these three hundred people, the best will be selected to determine the governors of Nanxia = ten counties.
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 the Qi army was unable to defeat them repeatedly. They waited until the decisive battle with Tongyangcheng
At the end of the war, the city of Guiyi was destroyed. The frontier troops of Jin'an Prefecture were afraid of the Qi people's revenge, so they surrendered to the Liang Kingdom.
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 he was able to continue to conquer the Xia Kingdom in the face of the gradually recovering strength.
Maintaining a tough attitude at all times is a proof of strength -
It is with 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, Huiqia, Shaokang, and Wanxing will all become border prefectures. How much more will the pressure on border defenses be doubled?
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 there are no soldiers or soldiers in the four prefectures of Fengli, Huiqia, Shaokang, and Wanxing, Liang people have not seen them.
You have to dare to cross the border.
Shi Mingcheng's Winter Silence Army was not stationed in these four prefectures, but was stationed in Changluo Prefecture, which also reflected Qi's response to the threat to Cheng.
degree of judgment.
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 title was written by Su Guanying himself: "I want to conquer southern Xinjiang". It is a very clear but also very broad title.
Publicly allow candidates to make suggestions for the governance of southern Xinjiang.
The topic proposed by the teacher Mingli was: "How can disasters be caused by water disasters? 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 get high scores in the discussion topics.
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.
Mingcheng, the military governor of Southern Xia and the commander-in-chief of the Winter Silence Army, is sitting 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 break Guise was very beautiful. He used the force of thunder to calm down the Sixuan Underground Palace first, without being able to surround him.
Fight. Then storm Guiyi, force Anlebo to surrender, and then turn around to take over the Sixuan Underground Palace, so this place suffered almost no damage...
Marquis Wu'an should know?" Su Guanying asked from the throne.
"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 Mingcheng 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 Sixuan Underground Palace. Jiang Wang really doesn’t know about this. It’s also because he doesn’t know much about it.
Because I care about these things, I never take the initiative to participate in political hall meetings.
Shi Ming chengweng said:
"The most exquisite collection in the Daxia Palace was burned down by the Queen Mother Xia. Thanks to An Lebo
Being sensible, we just saved some. As for the Sixuan Underground Palace and the treasures inside, the camp commander dragged hundreds of carts back to gather them.
There should be very few left. Supervisor Ruan is cleaning up the Si Xuan Underground Palace and isolating the inside and outside. I think it is more about cleaning up the rotten bones and solving them one by one.
Those old guys sitting on death row.
"Isn't there still more?" Su Guanying said: "When the emperor came here in person, he destroyed the Sixuan Underground Palace.
times. In the past few decades, it has not been easy for the Xia people to save this business. It is hard for me to believe that they can still accumulate more.
"So it's about cleaning out the rotten bones." Shi Ming reasoned.
Ruan Yuan was secretly in charge of the Sixuan Underground Palace. Of course, the reason why he was in charge of Nanxia Jiye was because Qi State was unwilling to openly give
The Chu State is under pressure, but they cannot be so reassured about Xia Di, which they have just conquered.
"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 the misfortune of Mu Kingdom.
Erdemi, I wonder what the difference is between them and the Si Xuan Underground Palace?"
"If there is a difference, they are both caves. If there is no difference, they are not on the same level at all."
Su Guanying smiled and said: "The predecessor of Si Xuan Underground Palace is Tianzhu Si Xuantian, ranked tenth among the thirty-six small caves.
4. The Xia Kingdom managed it from generation to generation, and today’s Sixuan Underground Palace was built.”
Blessed Land——Dongtian
Jiang Wang's heart suddenly became enlightened and he understood a lot of information at once.
Su Guanying continued: "Our Jixia Academy inherited the Taiyang Palace of the old Yang Empire. Its predecessor was Jintanhua Palace.
Yangtian ranks eighth among the top ten caves. The old Yang royal family operated it for thousands of years before it became the Sun Palace, which was later destroyed by war.
After the rise of our Qi State, Emperor Wu restored it and it was even better than before, so today's Jixia Academy was established.
Shi Mingcheng also said: "The predecessor of Erdemi was Zuo Shen Youxu Tian, ranking ninth among the ten caves. Ming Cheng
It is clear that he was conceived by heaven and earth. Where he seeks the truth, he lets the Cangtu God take credit for it and talk about the wisdom of the gods. 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.
Maintain respect for their supreme god.
"Ha! I don't know whether Xiu is alive or dead now." Shi Mingli didn't care: "Mu Tianzi is a man of means.
Shuai admires 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 completely
Not on the same level.
However, what is the specific difference between the big and small caves and even the blessed land?
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 places in Taixu Illusion? Like the two
As mentioned, the ten great cave heavens, the thirty-six small cave heavens, and the seventy-two blessed lands are all conceived by heaven and earth, and are the places where truth is sought. Taixu
Is the sect so powerful that it monopolizes the seventy-two blessed lands? Or is it that when 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 Mingli sighed: "If you want to say this, I really admire you.
Xu Yuanzhi. That old man is a respectable man. He truly cares about the world and has no selfish 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 Mingli said: "The value of Cave Heaven is far greater than that of Blessed Land, more than a hundred times. Xu Yuan's purpose is to promote Taixu Illusion Realm
, contribute the Taixu Pavilion of the Taixu Sect and distribute it to the owners of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands in fixed shares.
In exchange for these blessed lands, who would be willing to let go of the blessed lands in their hands if they could not benefit from them?"
"The predecessor of Taixu Pavilion was Chaozhen Taixu Tian, ranking 23rd among the thirty-six small caves. And Taixu
The faction managed it very well and was not inferior to those at the forefront. Xu Yuanzhi dedicated it to others, which can be said to be a heart-breaking service to others and directly led to
Taixu sent several elders to rebel against the family! Because he wanted to exchange the cave heaven for the blessed land, many forces competed for the blessed land at a high price.
Participating in the allocation of Taixu Pavilion shows its preciousness.
And what Xu Yuan wants is just to use the seventy-two blessed lands to enhance the attraction of Taixu Illusion to the Shenlin monks, so that
Taixu Illusion has grown faster."
"But in fact it doesn't seem to be very ideal?" Jiang Wang asked.
Shi Mingcheng said: “Nothing can be accomplished overnight, especially things that revolutionize the era like Taixu Illusion Realm.
The unfortunate thing about things is...Although Xu Yuanzhi endured pressure from all parties and made huge sacrifices, he gained seventy
The Second Blessed Land joined the Taixu Illusion Realm system, but at that time it failed to pass the resolutions of various parties. The news of Taixu Illusion Realm lasted for a long time.
It has been blocked and has only been open to a small area. Therefore, his Chaozhen Taixu Tian was almost in vain."
"Aren't you letting go slowly now?" Su Guanying said: "Sometimes moving too fast is not necessarily a good thing, right?
For something like this, which is always about to revolutionize the times and benefit the present world, I think no matter how cautious you are, you can’t be too cautious.”
Obviously, as far as the Taixu Illusion Realm is concerned, Shi Mingli's attitude is supportive, while Su Guanyi's attitude is relatively cautious.
Within the Qi State alone, there are different attitudes towards the Taixu Illusion Realm. When it comes to the world, there are bound to be more dissent.
How strong the resistance of reality is, those who really move forward can fully understand it.
It is really hard to imagine how Xu Yuanzhi persuaded every force and made the emperors of the hegemonic countries recognize him.
But, let those ancient sects who are aloof...how to realize the idea step by step, and how to smooth out those...
Resistance promotes the illusion of Taixu into the real world.
It is impossible for people without great wisdom, courage and perseverance to accomplish such a great undertaking.
Shi Mingli asked at this time: "Marquis Wu'an, you are the messenger of Taixu, the earliest Taixu turret in the country.
It’s your industry, what attitude do you think we should use towards Taixu Illusion?”
"You are too young to understand the world, but how young is enough to judge the world?" Jiang Wang waved his hand: "What I saw, listen to
It's still too narrow-minded. The commander-in-chief is asking me now, but I don't know how to answer. When will I be able to see it?
The reality of the world, let’s 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 will to interfere. But on the other hand, Taixu Sect
There is no doubt about the greatness of the Taixu Illusion Realm. The creation of the Taixu Scroll can undoubtedly strengthen the construction of the Taixu Illusion Realm and 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 think some truly great people would have known about it.
A response that transcends time.
"Marquis Wu'an is too humble." Su Guanying said with a smile: "The official examination in Southern Xinjiang went so smoothly this time, all thanks to Marquis Wu'an."
Thunderous tactics, cavalry patrolling, demons and monsters are all afraid. If you are not talented, wouldn't my governor's mansion be full of useless people?
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 official examination is conducted in a fair atmosphere, Jiang Wang personally organized
A 2,000-strong cavalry force. The knights are all his old troops who fought with him in the Qi-Xia War-
After receiving the order, those who answered the call gathered together. Only the best among the best were selected to form this team. This cavalry only obeyed his orders and did not compete with the south.
There was an affair in the Xia Governor's Mansion.
He, the Marquis of Wu'an of Da Qi, is also qualified to build a palace. It is in line with the imperial court to form a guard of less than 10,000 people.
Regulations do not require a separate application.
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 Governor-General of Southern Xia to allocate a large amount of resources in the name of supervising the official examination. After the official examination is over, Jiang Wang
, you need to spend your own money to support it.
But by that time, Dugu Xiao's management of the fiefdom should have been on the right track. It just so happened that Desheng Trading Co., Ltd.
The business is connected to important places, raising troops and horses, and the scale is less than 10,000 people, so the problem is not that big.
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's command and was responsible for commanding this Tiqi.
People at that time called it "Laoshan Iron Cavalry".
The guards all wore red robes, one group of a hundred people, and one group monitored one government. The Tiqi dispersed everywhere, inspecting the examination rooms in various cities, but there were
Anyone who cheats or is lax in proctoring the exam will be punished.
Jiang Wang himself even carried the sword himself, patrolled various mansions, and killed many people who relied on their background - no matter they were from the Governor's Mansion.
Even the military government will kill them without fail.
In the first large-scale official examination after Xia Di surrendered, there may be characters that Tiqi cannot deal with, but Jiang Wang cannot
Resolved...nothing.
His tough attitude and vigorous approach almost eliminated any malpractice in this official examination.
The fairness of the Southern Xinjiang official examination will have long-term benefits for both Su Guanying and Shi Mingcheng, so they are both quite worthy.
Okay. Even if someone under his command was killed by Jiang Wang like he was killing a chicken or a dog, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would only clap his hands and cheer on his face.
"Killing is not a skill. Knowing when to kill and knowing who to kill is a rare skill.
At this time, Shi Mingli looked at the candidates who were writing so fast in the audience, his eyes were very deep: "Chen Tingqian, the prefect of Jiangyong,
The only son, Chen Zhisheng, disappeared five days ago and there is no news yet. Does Marquis Wu An know about this?"
