Stepping into the palace, Jia Yun did not dare to raise his head. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted: "Jia Yun, the last general, pays homage to Your Majesty. May you pay your respects."

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Chongming said nothing. Instead, he read the memorial in his hand with great interest.

"Keep your head up."

After Emperor Chongming finished reading the memorial, he put it aside and spoke calmly.

Hearing Emperor Chongming's instructions, Jia Yun couldn't help but feel relieved. The torture of waiting was really uncomfortable.

However, Jia Yun couldn't think too much at this time, so he quickly raised his head and soon saw Emperor Chongming in a yellow robe.

Emperor Chongming is thirty-five this year, with sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples and phoenix eyes that are as powerful as a god.

When meeting the Holy One, naturally one cannot look at him for a long time. After a brief glance, he lowers his head.

Gao Xian on the side couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, and he couldn't help blaming Su Yun. He didn't look at Shengyan for the first time when he met her. He was a reckless man and was not worthy of a banquet.

Emperor Chongming's eyes were as bright as a torch. After sizing up Su Yun, he said calmly: "Are you Jia Yun?"

Jia Yun lowered his head and said respectfully: "He is the last general."

Emperor Chongming looked up at Jia Yun and said, "The descendants of Ning Guo Gong are not timid in the face of the Tartars, but they have not lost the dignity of Ning Guo Gong."

The Tartars mentioned by Emperor Chongming were actually the Jiannu whom Jia Yun knew in his previous life, and the leader was also a famous person named Nurhachi.

When Jia Yun first found out, he was also shocked.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the history of the world of Red Mansions is not much different from what Jia Yun knew in his previous life.

As the so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors began, Yao, Shun, and Yu were passed down; the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, and Eastern Zhou were divided into two periods; the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, unified the Qin and Han Dynasties; the three parts were Wei, Shu, and Wu, with the two Jins and fronts; the Southern and Northern Dynasties stood side by side, and the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties were passed down; after the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the imperial dynasties

That’s it….

The world in this area underwent great changes during the Ming Dynasty. After the Tumubao Incident, Yingzong, the "God of War" of the Ming Dynasty, was defeated and captured. The Wala army attacked Bj City, but Yu Qian failed to defend Bj City and committed suicide.

Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, fled to the southern capital and occupied half of the country, while Wala established the Dashun Dynasty. From then on, the Ming Dynasty and Dashun continued to fight, and eventually the Ming Dynasty dissipated and the world returned to Dashun.

A hundred years ago, the Dashun dynasty was incompetent and the people suffered terribly. When the sky collapsed, Emperor Taizu of Daqian rose up among the broken mountains and rivers. He rose up in Jinling, tried his best to turn the sky over, replaced the Dashun dynasty, and established the Daqian Dynasty.

Dry foundation.

Daqian has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the current emperor is Chongming Emperor Liu Long, who started in the eighth year of Chongming.

Most of the Daqian system was inherited from Dashun, and mixed with the Ming Dynasty, making it have both Han customs and foreign customs. The two were perfectly mixed together, which also made the Daqian Dynasty different from the previous Han Dynasty.

The most different thing is that the Qian Dynasty focused on commerce.

Generally speaking, the Han court emphasized "scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants." Businessmen were lowly and had no status at all. They were in the same category as slaves, prostitutes, and beggars, and even there were great restrictions on clothing.

But the Great Qian Dynasty was different. Privately, the status of merchants was comparable to that of "scholars", ranking first.

This change was due to the fact that at the beginning of Emperor Taizong's rebellion, merchants and others provided countless money and food to solve the money and food worries of Emperor Taizong of Daqian.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizong held a royal banquet in the palace, treated merchants who supplied money and food, and gave them fine food. For merchants, this was an unprecedented honor.

Not only that, Emperor Taizong had a lot of contact with merchants and his like, and he had other views on merchants' profit-seeking. He believed that "the only people with the blood of wealth and goods are merchants" and that only "commerce" can "rich the country". He issued an edict prohibiting Relatives and children of princes, nobles, and civil and military ministers intervened in business to "compete for profits with the people" and safeguard the interests of merchants. They even advocated the slogan of "compassion for businessmen" in imperial edicts many times.

The effect of what they have learned continues to this day. The status of merchants in the Qian Dynasty has been greatly improved. They have been deeply concerned and valued by the emperor, and they have become superiors. There is even the absurd phenomenon that "local officials are more envious of the profits of merchants, but only follow the orders of merchants". .

It was precisely because of the rapid increase in the status of merchants that the famous Xue family abandoned their scholarly work and became a businessman. As a merchant, they became one of the four major families in Jinling, with unrivaled success.

The history of this world is the same, so it is not impossible for Nurhaci to appear.

According to Jia Yun's knowledge, Nurhaci started his army at the age of twenty-five and unified the Jurchen tribe in the seventh year of Chongming. The Eight Banners of the Manchu people had an army of 100,000, harassing the border and trying to plunder the Central Plains. However, the Qian Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty that was riddled with holes. It allows Nurhaci to plunder and develop at will, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, all of whom are elite soldiers, are waiting for them. If it weren't for the fact that all the Tartars were cavalry, coming and going like the wind, how could the Tartars dare to be so presumptuous.

As for what was said in the previous life, "Jiannu cavalry numbered less than 10,000, but over 10,000 cavalry was invincible." It was nonsense. Jia Yun was at the border, and the cavalry of the Qian Dynasty was not weak. He fought with the Tartars several times. The Tartars were skilled in bows and horses and were indeed powerful enemies. With two against one, we are evenly matched, and with three against one, we can still have the upper hand. Fortunately, the Han soldiers are far superior to the Tartars, so they can naturally suppress the Tartars.

Returning to the topic, Jia Yun heard Emperor Chongming's praise and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty has given you too much praise. Guarding the border is actually the duty of a general. If the Tartars dare to commit crimes again, they will never return."

"He is loyal to the king." Emperor Chongming said with satisfaction.

Jia Yun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we, the great nobles, have been deeply favored by the emperor. We should repay the imperial court. The Qian Dynasty will bring peace to the country and the people, so that we can enjoy wealth forever."

"Oh..." Emperor Chongming looked at Jia Yun in surprise and said with admiration: "It's rare for you to have such insight."

Jia Yun reported back: "Your Majesty, the last general is vulgar and does not understand the big principles. However, he also knows how to serve the country with loyalty. The Tartars are so rampant that they disturb me on the border. When the last general returns to the border, he will go into battle to kill the enemy. I will capture that man in the future. Nurhachi, please return to Beijing and present it to Your Majesty, so that those barbarians will know that anyone who offends our great cause will be punished."

"Okay... That's right. Anyone who offends me will be punished." Emperor Chongming rarely responded, with a smile on his face.

After a pause, Emperor Chongming said with a smile: "But you don't have to go back to the border. It's a good time to stay in the capital. A descendant of Duke Ning's mansion is a vulgar military commander. Wouldn't it make people laugh at him? Go to the Imperial College to study for two years and learn more. reason."

Jia Yun's mouth twitched when he heard this. Why did Emperor Chongming allow him to go to the Imperial College to study? If it were in the past, it would be a dream to go to the Imperial College to study. But now that Jia Yun has joined the army, although the border is difficult, there are no such things. This miscellaneous matter is actually much simpler. In comparison, Jia Yun would rather stay at the border. As for reading, he would read a hammer book.

Before he had time to think about it, Jia Yun said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the general went to private school for several years when he was young. He is not a vulgar person."

"Then you are deceiving the emperor and should be killed." Emperor Chongming said calmly.

Jia Yun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, although the general has studied for several years, he is only literate. Those idiosyncratic and beautiful articles are really a headache. How about your majesty letting the general guard the border and kill them?"

I will kill the enemy to repay the emperor's favor."

Emperor Chongming noticed that Jia Yun was disgusted with studying, so he joked: "Hehehe... I'm just curious. It's just studying. How can you be so disgusted with it?"

Jia Yun felt bitter after hearing this, and studying is not an ordinary hardship. The so-called "head hangs from the beam, cones prick the buttocks, fireflies gather in the summer, and snow reflects in the winter." These students are all lunatics who become successful without success and regard reading as their lifelong career. How can we go there?

To compete with them, you have to work hard.

Jia Yun was a person who went through the imperial examination, and he also had his own views on the imperial examination. In his opinion, the format of the imperial examination was eight-part essay, but the eight-part essay itself was just a format, consisting of six paragraphs and eight paired sentences. First of all,

One sentence breaks the topic, two sentences carry the topic, and then we start, start, start, middle, back, and end.

What is the use of the single meeting format?

Just by learning the format, can the examiner stand out among thousands of exam papers?

Impossible! If you want to stand out, you have to write an outstanding article that will impress the examiner.

The so-called good article has all three elements of "reason, diction and spirit". Such an article will make the examiner feel like drinking fine wine, and they will stop and savor it carefully during the dizzy grading process. As long as there are no taboos,

How could I not order you?

If you want to understand the theory clearly, you must trace the origins of the Six Classics, and study the Confucian sayings of the Song and Yuan Dynasties; if you want the words to be correct, you must fit the meaning of the title, and take them from the books of the Three Dynasties and the Han Dynasty; if you want the Qi to flourish, you must use the principles of justice

Sprinkle it into his heart, and then sink into it and repeat the ancient prose of Zhou, Qin, Shenghan, Tang, and Song Dynasties.

To put it bluntly, it is to lay a good foundation, and only when you have something in mind can you write a good article.

Knowledge is the foundation, and the eight-part essay is the body. The foundation is the connotation of the body, and the body is the expression of the foundation. Only when the knowledge reaches a certain level can we write articles that are as truthful as the pharaoh and the flowers are beautiful...

The ancients said that one is diligence and the other is enlightenment. Both are indispensable. Jia Yun thought that he did not have that level of understanding.

In desperation, Jia Yun said grandly: "I have admired the champion since I was a child, and I have been granted the title of wolf."

Emperor Chongming looked up at Jia Yun and said with a smile: "If you want to be a champion, you must have Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

When Jia Yun heard this, he quickly flattered him, licked his face and said, "Your Majesty is so talented and powerful, why can't he be the champion?"

"If you can seal a wolf as a cub, I won't be stingy with a champion." Emperor Chongming said grandly, with a bright look on his face. It was obvious that he was flattering.

Seeing this, Jia Yun hurriedly asked while the iron was hot: "What does your Majesty mean?..."

Emperor Chongming chuckled lightly and scolded: "You are such a slippery-tongued boy, you are so bold to be so petty in front of me."

Although Emperor Chongming reprimanded him, Jia Yun knew that Emperor Chongming was satisfied with what he said.

Just when Jia Yun thought that Emperor Chongming was happy and would agree to Jia Yun's request, Emperor Chongming poured a basin of cold water on him and said directly: "Once I opened my golden mouth, how can I take it back? I am ready to go to school, and there is no need for anything else."

Think more."

Jia Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. After working on it for a long time, he still had to go to Laoshizi Imperial College to study...

Seeing Jia Yun's unhappy face, Emperor Chongming chuckled and said immediately: "Well, letting a "vulgar" person like you go to the Imperial College to study is also a stain on the academy. Forget your official position, just use the name of a supervisor, no need.

Go to Dianmao and go back home to study."

Jia Yun was helpless. Since Emperor Chongming had spoken, he had no right to refuse. Fortunately, it was just a name. If he really went to the Imperial College to study, he would have to shed a layer of his skin.

Fearing that Emperor Chongming would regret it, Jia Yun hurriedly responded respectfully: "General, I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness."

Emperor Chongming nodded, then picked up the memorial again and said: "I will not be stingy if you make meritorious service on the battlefield. Gao Xian, take this boy to receive the reward."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xian hurriedly responded: "My slave, I obey."

Then Gao Xian walked up to Jia Yun with a kind face and said gently: "Master Jia, please come with me."
