Ruan Qingwen saw Zhang Xiaowu's strange expression, chuckled, and joked: "My junior brother... is really talented. He can't take the imperial examination because of his promise, and he feels angry in his heart."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Do you think this is talent?"
Ruan Qingwen asked: "Why not?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your junior brother is a ruthless person, do you believe it or not?"
"Ruthless person? More ruthless than you?"
"Well, yes."
Ruan Qingwen said: "I don't believe it, he is Jieyuan Huiyuan."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "How well do you know your junior brother?"
Ruan Qingwen thought for a while and said: "I only know that he is the only son of my mentor. I don't know anything else. He was only six years old when his family was confiscated and exiled. Now more than twenty years have passed. But I promise,
The teacher's character is excellent, and the son he teaches will not be wrong."
"Maybe." Zhang Xiaowu suddenly asked again: "By the way, Mr. Ruan, I have always heard about the rebellion of King Ning, and my grandfather was originally one of King Ning's guards, but my grandfather is
You are not willing to explain to me the Ningwang Rebellion in detail, and the court seems to be very secretive about the Ningwang Rebellion. Do you know about the Ningwang Rebellion? Can you tell me what the Ningwang Rebellion is all about?"
Ruan Qingwen thought for a while and recalled: "The rebellion of King Ning happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was studying in Longdu City, so I knew a lot about it. But what I said was just a family opinion, and the general only regarded it as
When you hear a joke, don’t listen to it one way or the other.
Faith is the key." Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said he was just listening. Ruan Qingwen said: "Speaking of which, Prince Ning is a man with mixed reputations. He has great abilities but poor character. He is jealous but does not know how to restrain himself, especially when he is attacked by others.
The jealousy of the late Emperor Taigan."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Don't you say that he is arrogant and extravagant, ambitious and covets the throne, and he also messes with the harem?"
Ruan Qingwen shook his head and said: "It is not known whether the harem scandal is true or not, because it was only spread after King Ning was killed. No one knows the truth. After all, I was only eighteen years old at the time.
I am studying in Yixinkan, a middle school. By the way, my teacher Kang Shen teaches in Yixinkan. At the same time, he is also Ning
The first teacher for the eldest son of the Wang family. Prince Ning has too many children, and there are only ten teachers for the eldest son of his family. My mentor is also one of them, and he only gets some salary. I didn’t expect that because of this small salary
, after the disaster of King Ning, my teacher was implicated, his great future was ruined, and his whole family was confiscated and exiled to Lingnan."
"Prince Wang actually does not use a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, but uses a teacher from Yixinguan as an enlightenment teacher. This is very interesting to Prince Ning. Is he close to the people?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile. He knew that the highest academic institutions in Longdu are Taiyuan University and Hanlin Academy.
But they don't understand the difference.
"My mentor is the bachelor of Hanlin Academy." Ruan Qingwen explained that Taiyuan College is a place where candidates who are ranked among the top three in heaven, earth, and people can continue their studies. Jinshis learn how to be an official here for three years, and those with poor performance will be assigned to
He was engaged in official work in various places, and started from the ninth rank official (county salt and tea envoy).
, Dianshi, Heboshi, Limu, Tucheng, etc.), and those with outstanding performance from Taiyuan College will be selected as Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy. Hanlin bachelors will be directly supplemented into the Sixth Academy and Eight Departments as Limu, while thirty people from Tianban will be
Enter the imperial study room to help the emperor review memorials and participate in national affairs and confidential matters.
The bachelors who studied in the Hanlin Academy already mean that they will start as officials of the eighth rank at least in the future. Therefore, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are also officials, but they do not hold positions and receive a salary from the court. Some of them will be hired by important officials or wealthy businessmen in the capital to serve as officials.
Teacher, educate children, no
However, because bachelors enjoyed the royal salary, they served as teachers just to build good relationships with court officials. For example, Kang Shen educated the children of Prince Ning because he wanted to build a relationship with Prince Ning and lay a solid foundation for his future career as an official.
, who didn’t expect to be implicated, but suffered the consequences instead.
Ruan Qingwen said: "Prince Ning was very kind to his mentor and others. His salary was ten times the salary of the imperial court. There were countless people in the Imperial Academy who were willing to be teachers in Prince Ning's palace." Zhang Xiaowu had heard that Prince Ning was lustful and robbed people.
The story of a girl, but now Ruan Qingwen praised Prince Ning, which made him feel a little incredible.
Ruan Qingwen added: "However, it is true that Prince Ning was lustful. Prince Ning especially liked girls, and indeed he forcibly married many girls as concubines. Someone once wrote a poem and said: There are one hundred beauties in the capital, and there are sixty-nine in Prince Ning's palace.
.”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled again and said, "Is this your poem?"
Ruan Qingwen laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "How dare you? How dare I have the courage? The person who had the courage and was not afraid of being attacked by King Ning's gang was Gu Yongye. At that time, Gu Yong was nineteen years old and he dared to write a poem to satirize Ning.
King, deeply loved by Emperor Taiqian."
"I think he is jealous." Zhang Xiaowu snickered, but then he thought about it, Gu Yong, the double champion in literature and martial arts, is handsome and charming, so there is nothing to be jealous of.
"It is not known yet, it is not known yet, but the men in Longdu City are all jealous of King Ning." Ruan Qingwen said with a smile, "Back then, King Ning made great achievements by supporting Emperor Taiqian to seize the rightful son, so that Emperor Taiqian was very jealous of him.
Reliance, but because of King Ning's talent,
Yi, Emperor Taiqian was also very afraid of him. The reason why Prince Ning acted so lustful was that he was already lustful, and secondly, he wanted to show his brother that a pervert would not pose a threat to the throne.
, it seems to be a sign of self-destruction."
Zhang Xiaowu was filled with emotion and envy: "If I threaten the throne in the future, I will also pretend to be a pervert, accept the beauties from all over the world, play with the beauties all day long, and don't care about politics or the common people. What do you think?"
Ruan Qingwen shook his head and said seriously: "Of course it's not good. No matter how hard the tiger hides it, it can't hide its fangs. In the end, Prince Ning was forced to rebel."
"Forcing rebellion?"
"Yes, force rebellion." Ruan Qingwen's eyes were filled with sighs, "Emperor Taiqian knew that none of his sons could be as talented as Prince Ning. The eldest prince was just a fat pig, and the mother of the second prince was virtuous.
The concubine was also a subordinate of Prince Ning. The third prince died early, the fourth prince was still young at the time, and the fifth prince had just been born. As for Prince Ning, he was young and handsome.
He is handsome and suave, and is known as the companion of sixty-nine beauties. The emperor asked him to manage the salt administration of Yangzhou. In just one year, he tripled the salt tax in Yangzhou and formulated the salt law, which is still in use today. This King Ning governs on one side
While not forgetting to slander himself, he earned one hundred taels of silver for the court and wanted to take away thirty taels of silver, so the late emperor naturally trusted him."
"But since when did you stop trusting him?"
"He will serve as the governor of Longdu."
"The governor of Longdu?"
"Yes." Ruan Qingwen said, "Longdu Prefecture is special. All other prefectures and cities in the country are in charge of prefects. However, Longdu Prefecture is a country in the world, and its administrative bureaucratic level is even higher than that of the prefect of Sizhou Prefecture. Therefore, the Holy Han Empire
After the founding of the country, the Longdu Prefect was established. Although Longdu Prefecture is within the territory of Sizhou, the Longdu Prefect is half a level higher than the prefect of Sizhou."
