Walking on the official road in Baoxie Road, it is just like the so-called high mountains and deep gorges, with a meandering middle stream rolling and rolling; both sides of the bank are full of torrents and waterfalls, and ancient trees; birds chirp and apes chirp, and the wind shakes the green fields;
What a worldly scenery with majestic mountains and rivers and dangerous escapes of rare horses.
Unfortunately, it seems to have been affected by the recent internal and external blockades. The roads, which are still spacious and have obviously been hardened with gravel and cement, are empty without a single car, horse or pedestrian. Only some roads that have obviously been hastily abandoned are left.
Facilities such as tea sheds and thatched cottages.
In addition, there are only some traces of the passing of the established troops, and some special signs and guidance left on various road signs, wooden posts and ancestral stones, which are obviously in military code.
But so much time has passed, and not a single person has escaped and reported back.
This result also made everyone accompanying them feel heavy in their hearts, and the atmosphere became more solemn; only the accompanying Jingzhao Mansion official was still chattering to himself without realizing it, but seemed to want to use all his strength to do his best.
Improve the relationship with Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian didn't pay much attention to this, and let him play as much as he wanted along the way, treating it as entertainment. It wasn't until he saw a symbol that suddenly appeared on the mountain wall in the distance that Jiang Tian suddenly stopped and stopped.
, interrupting the official’s rather talkative eloquence:
"Zhao Shicao (joined the army), Duo Lao accompanied us all the way, and we have already sent you here. Can you return to your hometown? The next journey may be dangerous, and I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of each other."
"This...this is the official's responsibility. It should start well and end well. Please forgive me." However, Zhao Shicao's face turned pale when he heard this, but he cheered up and said: "Next, I will go down to the official.
I will be careful in my words and deeds, listen to your wishes, and try my best not to be a burden to your department."
"Oh..." Jiang Tian couldn't help but raise his voice when he heard the words. He suddenly had an idea in his heart and asked: "Zhao Shicao, are you just recently transferred back to Jingzhao Mansion from a remote place?"
"I dare not hide it. It is true that Xiaguan was transferred back to Beijing from Fengzhou (today's Hanzhong City) a few days ago." Zhao Shicao immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If not, how could Xiaguan be accused of being a noble?
His colleagues are just familiar with the location."
"To be boastful, this memorial path happened to be repaired by the official under his command due to heavy rain and landslides." Then he quickly added: "Although I dare not say that I am familiar with every plant and tree, but
It can be said that I am very familiar with the trends of mountains and rivers.”
"Haven't you heard about the rumors related to me in Jingzhao Mansion?" Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but asked with a little curiosity:
.
"This..." Zhao Shicao hesitated when he heard this, and then gave up and said with a wry smile: "I didn't know it at first, but I found out after I returned to Beijing; it was only after I was assigned an errand... Speaking of which, the following official
I am able to return to Beijing with my qualifications, and I would like to thank you for being such a distinguished official."
Although what he said was very cryptic, Jiang Tian quickly understood it, and then connected it with the news from several imperial palaces. It was probably the things he caused in Chang'an, which were more or less implicated and affected Jingzhao Mansion, and even
There have been many vacancies since Shao Yin.
However, in such a huge capital city, with millions of registered officials, civilians, and generals, the daily operations cannot be stopped for a moment. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government wrote to the neighboring prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi Province to promote some capable officials to temporarily fill their positions.
position; then slowly adjust and choose the follow-up.
"Zhao Shicao...could he be the origin of Zaxuan?" The deputy lieutenant Zhang Wusheng standing nearby couldn't help but said: "That's right, so it took a lot of time to study and study." Zhao Shicao also made no secret of it.
He said helplessly: "If it weren't for the extraordinary promotion of Jingzhao Mansion, I would still be listening to affairs in Fengzhou."
Since the Anshi Rebellion and the Taixing Reform, the methods and scope of selecting people and officials for the imperial court have been greatly expanded. Especially in the establishment of schools, the emphasis on education, and the encouragement of government and private schools, long-term investment in the past dynasties has always been sustained. Therefore, the formation of scientific classes (schools)
) came from a dominant position.
Therefore, as the largest university in the world, the Capital University and its twelve branches, including the Domain Academy, each correspond to a well-established official career direction and promotion route. In theory, even if you are learning craftsmanship,
You can also make a difference and develop in your official career.
It’s just that the career prospects of most people will end at the level of the chief of the fifth prison of the Nine Temples, or the deputy/secondary officer of the sixth department. This is not a deliberate glass ceiling, but that people’s energy is always limited and they can focus on a certain task.
Once a field is established, it will be difficult to take into account shortcomings in other areas.
The Academy of Domain Affairs is also nicknamed Little Beijing University, not only because of its relatively complete categories; but also because most of its students who eventually graduate often become the backbone of local governments in the vassal states/princes from all over the world.
and elites, and even future middle- and high-level bureaucrats and important ministers.
In addition, if ordinary people want to be officials, in addition to those who come from other places in the traditional sense (third-rank courtiers to fifth-rank officials in the capital), recruit (in the Imperial Household and the imperial court), and promote and enter the imperial court (in the army/lower officials)
In addition to being a powerful and important minister, there are actually three other ways to study: Baigong, Liwu, etc.
Although the original intention of Liang Gong in establishing the Third Auxiliary School was to train some subordinates, assistants and officials who would be dedicated to the imperial court. In preparation for the Taixing Reform, he would be assigned to follow the officials at all levels who were appointed to the local areas to implement the New Deal;
He will not be deceived by the home of native right-wingers and subordinate officials.
Therefore, over the years, a considerable scale has been formed, as well as a potential relationship network linked by teachers and students in the same year, relatives and friends, and marriages; and once the base number becomes large, even a very small number of them will be able to transfer to official positions.
, and naturally form a potential influence.
The Zhao Shicao in front of him is obviously one of the few examples of people who have been transferred from official positions to officials; but most of them cannot go far in their official careers. The reason is very simple. They are influenced by their background, knowledge, experience and
The horizons and other factors are limited, and at most it only hovers in the middle and lower grades.
It happened that Zhao Shicao joined the army as one of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, and his daily duties were to take charge of Hejin and build bridges, buildings and other matters. That's why he was attracted by those in Jingzhao Mansion, who were already in a state of turmoil.
Officials are elected and assigned to fill this disguised fire pit of their own.
"Since Zhao Shicao wants to insist on it, I can't stop you anymore." Thinking of this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but say: "I just want to emphasize again that our actions have always been extremely dangerous." Thinking of this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but say.
He said: "I just want to emphasize once again that our actions have always been dangerous and dangerous, and we face all kinds of strange and strange things. Once we take action, we have no time to worry about others."
"I'm the official... I'm the official..." Zhao Shicao's lips trembled for a moment when he heard this, and finally he sighed decisively: "In fact, there is no way to retreat, only life and death have their own destiny, so do your best..."
"Okay, then... let's do it!" Jiang Tian nodded after hearing this, and suddenly shouted to his side: At the moment when Zhao Shicao turned pale and opened his mouth to beg for mercy; the supervisors surrounding Sakon
The members suddenly swooped out like a tiger emerging from its shackles.
Amidst the shouts and curses filled with surprise, groups of small and large groups joined forces to suppress and subdue the several generals who were following the team to the ground with lightning speed. Also, around them were the astonished and uncertain soldiers.
Amidst the noise, he dragged Jiang Tian back to his side.
"Supervisor!" "Officer!" "Shangxian!" Then some people were stunned, surrounding the temporary defense circle formed with Jiang Feng as the center, and asked one after another: "What is this situation?"
What did you do to humble yourself?" "Why do you do this?"
"Of course, before going to battle, we should first deal with some of the things that are being exploited." Jiang Tian looked around with a sneer. The authority he had accumulated in a short period of time made all kinds of doubts and doubts subside, and he spoke word by word.
: "Otherwise, once we encounter an enemy, how can we have peace of mind?"
"I'm afraid the officer has misunderstood." At this time, a layman general who was on the ground struggled and shouted in disbelief: "Everyone in our generation fights for their lives together, fighting side by side.
Comrade, how could there be such a spy with evil intentions! Could it be that someone is making a false accusation..."
"What you said seems to make sense..." Jiang Tian smiled slightly, seeming to give the other party some hope; however, the next moment Jiang Tian waved his hand, revealing a furry thing: "It's a pity that I caught the person at the scene.
Proof; this sparrowhawk is the one you let out!"
"Do you want me to read it out for you on the spot?" Then, Jiang Tian took out another thin paper tube; then he ignored the general with a gray face and asked someone to send several pieces of tree bark of different sizes.
He said to the others: "Is this the memory you left along the way?"
So, after arranging the troops for a moment, Jiang Tian said to the generals who were tied up by Wuhua Dadai and put on the accompanying cart: "I don't care who you are, what thoughts and motivations you have for doing things, continue.
No matter what happens when you come down, it will be none of your business."
At this time, several figures appeared again in the distant mountain forest, but they were wearing dark cloaks with mottled grass and green. They were prancing among the treetops as quickly as apes. In a moment, they were in front of Jiang Tian; the leader
But it was Zhang Baobao, one of the four subordinates who had been ordered to go out for investigation in advance.
He was seen carrying branches and leaves flying all over his body. After landing, he cupped his hands towards Jiang Tian and said, "I would like to report to the officer, sir, on the mountain walls and slopes a few miles ahead, a group of strange beasts were found migrating. The specific number is about four or five."
Ten, among which there are seven or eight larger female animals, and the rest are male animals and small animals."
"My subordinates have tried to ambush and attack the largest one among them, while the others fled away from the road." Xuan Cong Zhang Bao added: "Other than that, within twenty miles of the road ahead, no trace of human beings was found.
and whereabouts, not even the abandoned weapons, armor, and flags, never existed.”
"Okay!" Jiang Tian nodded, turned around and ordered: "Give me the order, all of us should throw away our unnecessary burdens and enter the light-armed advance formation; the cavalry of the first and second regiments will follow me one step ahead, and the rest will follow.
"The infantry of the third regiment set up camp on the spot to guard the mules and horses."
However, not long after, a strange beast with protruding bone spurs all over its body and a strangely shaped head and horns suddenly appeared on the cliff on one side of the marching route. It roared at the team several times as if it was a provocation, and at the same time, it knocked down several trees.
The trees in this section, together with the bitten remains of a strange beast, were thrown down from a high position.
"What a good beast, I'm afraid he has a lot of wisdom. You continue to march forward, and let me take care of him." When Jiang Tian, who was riding fast, saw this, he did not hesitate to stand out from the crowd and get off the horse.
He jumped up and ran straight up the cliff. At the same time, he waved his hand and a heavy iron spear was thrown at the strange beast like lightning:
I heard a rapid whine, and a fierce sound of rolling down and knocking over a tree. Then, with the figure of Jiang Dan leaping up the cliff, scolding, and shouting, it turned into a whine and hurried away with injuries.
