Chapter 546: The Last Eunuch of Yan Dynasty(1/2)
Daizhou administrative office, Qizhou City.
It's drizzling, and by the Daming Lake, the raindrops are blooming, one red, one pink, and one white, all blooming exceptionally gorgeously and enchantingly.
The black carriage running in the gap between yin and yang, guarded by a group of yin soldiers, slowly stopped at the most beautiful place on the lakeside, in front of a solemn Confucian temple.
call--!
Suddenly a gust of wind and rain swept past.
The carriage and the Yin soldiers all disappeared like dream bubbles, leaving only a pair of young men and women holding bright red [Six Desires in the Red Dust Umbrella].
The pedestrians coming and going were not surprised at all, as if the two of them were standing there.
"I originally thought that Yuzhou's literary style was already at its peak. Only when I came to the big city of Daizhou did I realize what it means to be a small witch and a big witch."
Huang Wu gently held Wang Yuan's arm and looked at the temple in front of her, with a look of surprise in her phoenix eyes.
Even in the years of great disasters and wars, this ancient Confucian temple is still bustling with tourists and prosperous.
Most of them are scholars.
From the young boy who just entered the private school to the shaky old man with half his foot in the coffin, they are all extremely pious.
When looking at this Confucian Temple and the hundreds of sages in it, their eyes all have the same aura of brilliance.
No matter who comes here, they are all respectful and do not dare to make any noise.
This is also quite normal.
Not to mention the Confucian literary sages who were enshrined there, many of the 153 Confucian sages from the past who were entitled to enjoy the Confucian Temple had prosperous descendants and even formed long-standing Confucian families.
In particular, the Wensheng family has always stood firm after receiving royal awards from successive dynasties, and finally had a dukedom title.
The rewards of wealth and wealth are countless.
If it weren't for the ancestral precepts, the descendants of the Wensheng family would never be allowed to fight for the world, nor would they be able to join the [Tribulation of All Living Beings] to assist any of the hidden dragons on the left.
In Daizhou, the city might be transformed into a royal flag in an instant.
On the other hand, no matter who takes the supreme position in the world in the future, he will not dare to offend all the scholars at once.
Therefore, the treatment of Confucian temples across the country is much better than that of the Chenghuang Temple under Mr. Wang.
After hearing his sister's words, Wang Yuan just shook his head and smiled.
“These people come to worship the Confucian Temple, not for their ‘style of writing’, but for their ‘official luck’!
Folks from Yanhan have always been pragmatists.
No matter what method is used, whether it is testing eight-part essay, poetry, arithmetic, calligraphy and painting, playing chess, etc., or any other competitive project.
As long as that method allows people to reach the sky in one step and transcend classes, they will gain the same status as the Confucian Temple.
No matter how excellent a piece of knowledge is, it is in vain if it cannot be realized.
If I had not been lucky enough to enter the path of immortality, I, Wang Xiaoyuan, would probably be like them, reading all the scriptures just to fight for a rich future.
In the end, if you can get a good-looking young man (it is a common rule that one is the most handsome), and then marry an eldest princess as your wife, that will be the pinnacle of your life."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand teasingly and gently tickled the tip of his "eldest princess"'s lovely white jade nose.
In return, Huang Wu let out a coy voice and raised her hand to hit Wang Yuan on the chest.
"Let's go, sister.
We first go to the Kuixing Tower to pay a visit to the Lord Dou Kuixing who dominates the world’s fortune, and then we go to the Temple of Wealth, which is only across the street, to pay a visit to the God of Wealth.
Sister Ruan had greeted them in advance and said that it was rare that the two Qingchi masters were both in their own dojo today.
We want to borrow their [power] to create a festival that requires a whole night vigil to induce a [humanitarian flood] in advance.
Although it is a great merit, it is also a great cause and effect. If you are not careful, you may die on the spot.
Even if we come with great righteousness, we cannot force a certain immortal official to take risks.
It’s better to be more cautious.”
Kuixing, whose real name is "Kuixing", is also the first star of the Big Dipper "Tianshu".
"Dou Shou Yue Kui" is extended to mean number one, and it is also the auspicious star that dominates the world's literary fortunes.
According to the "Shijia Zhai Yang Xinlu", the five stars gather on the sun, that is, the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are connected in a line.
The two stars Kui and Lou correspond exactly to Daizhou, the hometown of Wen Sheng. Heaven and man are one, and should be Wen Kui.
There are "Kuixing Tower" built in the Confucian temples all over Dayan, which means that students "win the first place". Especially before the autumn, all the imperial examination scholars come to worship.
They stood in front of the Kuixing Tower, where they could see a statue of a black-faced and red-haired god, holding a red pen in his right hand, holding a gold seal in his left hand, and kicking with his left foot.
This "Kuixing kicking fight" is a sign of a prosperous literary movement.
"Sister Ruan initially said that she would prepare a game, prepare wine and food, and help introduce two immortal officials.
In the end, we changed our minds and let us do it ourselves, and we also wanted to show off in front of the two of them, saying that it would be of great benefit.
But am I, Mr. Wang, someone who is short of money and official position?
I actually think that this drunkard is reluctant to let go of the [Thousand Days of Drunkness] he just caused.
Um, maybe you just don’t want to come here and eat the famous dish of Nine-turn Large Intestine that is a must-have at the Daizhou Banquet?”
Thinking of what the eldest sister said, although Wang Yuan didn't take it seriously, he subconsciously became more cautious and was about to take Huang Wu into the "Kui Xing Tower".
Dang! Dang! Dang!
I saw an unkempt figure walking from one end of the street, banging a broken bowl with a wooden stick in his hand. He walked to the door of Kuixing Tower and sat down on the stone steps.
Keep banging the bowl.
But it seemed that no one else could see this figure except the two of them.
The two looked at each other with strange expressions.
"It's actually a ghost, and he seems to be a eunuch?!"
Wang Yuan and Huang Wu are a ghost emperor and a ghost queen, so they can naturally see low-level ghosts at a glance.
Moreover, this figure is also wearing a bullfighting uniform that can only be worn by the eunuchs with the palm prints of the twelve eunuchs in the palace.
It's just that the workmanship is rough and has a strong sense of cheapness, and I don't know where he made it during his lifetime.
The "Little Book of Life and Death" in Wang Yuan's hand opened by itself, showing them the life of this ghost.
[Name: Sun Yaozong, from Jeju City.]
[Life: Carrying the expectations of his father's ancestors since he was a child, he was sent to the best private school to study.
Although he is very smart, he is very accomplished in arithmetic and Go.
However, his talent in the eight-part essay was really limited, and he had no aptitude for arithmetic. He failed in the imperial examinations time and time again, and even failed to pass the boy's examination]
The two of them frowned more and more.
This man was defeated repeatedly in battles, until his family fell into decline. His parents and brothers passed away in successive years of famine, leaving him alone in the world.
But over the years, becoming an official, getting rich, and honoring his ancestors have become the deepest and deepest obsessions in his heart.
He often wandered back and forth between the "Kui Xing Tower" and the "God of Wealth Temple" and dedicated all the money he saved by frugal in food and clothing to the two gods.
I hope they can bless themselves to be rich in high school.
Until last year, in order to catch all the best scholars in the world, "Wu Sheng Dao" asked the last emperor Zhou Jingliang to open Enke.
It's a pity that it's a "grace" that can only be given to people above the level of promotion, and it has nothing to do with him, an idiot.
Sun Yaozong, as an official fan obsessed with desire, was stimulated by Enke and finally made up his mind.
In order to become an official and make a fortune and honor our ancestors, since the road to the imperial examination was blocked, we had to find another way and become a eunuch!
During the Great Yan Dynasty, many eunuchs came to power, and many of them even served as the emperor's voice and spokesmen, wielding power throughout the government and the public. Their appeal was considerable.
Although the waves are raging, there is not much hope of getting ahead.
At this time, he was like a gambler who had become red-eyed.
After seeing the sentence "If you want to practice magic, swing your sword from the palace", I stabbed myself hard without much hesitation.
A skilled craftsman like Liu Yidao from the capital, who could cut quickly and well, [The Knifemaker] (Chapter 373) commanded a high price.
Each time you have to charge at least ten taels of silver, including pig heads, chickens, ducks and fish.
You get what you pay for. Doing it yourself is like going through the "ghost gate".
Fortunately, he finally survived with his strong will.
Unfortunately, he just gave himself an egg last year and Dayan died.
The entire palace was razed to the ground by Wang Yuan and his gang, so how could there be any place for him to become a eunuch?
And in the foreseeable future, as long as this chaotic world of Qianlong melee does not end, the entire Chi County China will probably not need this type of technical work.
His dream of becoming an official and getting rich was shattered, and Sun Yaozong, who couldn't bear the blow, went crazy on the spot.
Fortunately, the chief minister of Daizhou is quite wealthy.
