In the carriage compartment, Lingxue looked at the young man opposite, a little amused, and said angrily: "I hope you can be so calm when I meet His Highness later."
When many celebrities and elegant people met the princess, they were all awe-struck by her grandeur and trembling with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Those who say His Highness has a harsh temperament and those who say he is magnanimous are simply saying that the former are mostly idiots who were tried by His Highness in a few words and fell out of favor.
Jia Heng smiled, his eyes darkened for a moment, his eyes were slightly closed, and he closed his eyes to rest.
In fact, if possible, it would be better for a book like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that is destined to be sold all over the world to be distributed. At the beginning, it was very inappropriate to talk about this with Liu Tong, the shopkeeper of Hanmozhai. Now I have the opportunity to meet this
The eldest princess, let’s talk to her first and see how the situation goes.
The two were silent for a while.
Looking at the young man in a blue shirt, with his eyes closed and calm, Lianxue's bright eyes flashed, she broke the silence and suddenly asked: "Which branch of the Jia family are you from?"
Jia Heng opened his eyes and said softly: "Ning Guo's lineage, but my generation is exactly the fourth generation."
Lianxue frowned, a look of thought appeared in her bright eyes, and murmured: "After Ning Guo, he didn't join the army and started selling manuscripts?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and did not answer directly.
Lianxue said leisurely: "That's right. If you join the army and have no way out, you can only start as a soldier. This is not a child of an aristocratic family. No wonder the book says that a gentleman will be killed after five generations."
Jia Heng said: "What Miss Lianxue said is right."
This is why he has honed his martial arts skills and did not join the army immediately. He has no way out. Unless he rebels, he will probably sink into a low-level military position and struggle for more than ten years before he can lead an army, and then be dismissed.
Civilian clique suppressed.
Maybe by working as a nanny and working as a nanny for the Jia family, I can take advantage of the Jia family's influence. After all, Jia Yucun has benefited a lot. After all, he is also a descendant of the Ning Kingdom. There is no reason for his resources to be worse, right?
But facing the men of Ning Rong and his wife, who are greedy for sex, greedy for wealth, and idle talkers, can he still be strong-willed? Should he help Jia Zhen and Jia She wipe their butts?
There is a disturbance in the Jia family, and the horse is too high and the pedal is short. Jia's mother asks him to go to Rongqing Hall to teach him, discipline and punish him, talk about evil, and get blamed at every turn. Should he endure it?
A man born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time? Well, this statement... is unknown.
In short, it is indeed impossible to completely cut off his relationship with the Jia family because of blood ties, but he cannot rely on the Jia family. He must stand on his own, establish a family, and be the person to deal with.
On the contrary, if you enter the officialdom as a literati and Jinshi, even if you are ranked last in the top three and are in charge of the six ministries, you can be heard by the emperor due to military affairs, look for opportunities to supervise the divisions, and wait for changes in the world...
In the late Ming Dynasty in the previous life, the Hanlin Prime Minister was often a good hand in cabinet party disputes. Instead, the Jinshi who ranked low in the imperial examination went out to lead the army and supervise the local areas.
Such as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting.
This is the future path he has planned for himself, but now because of Jia Zhen's murder, he needs a little rest, but it doesn't actually conflict.
Lianxue said: "It seems that Mr. Jia is planning to take the imperial examination."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Being in the imperial examination, sincerity is the right path, and studying to learn and understand principles can also make contributions and serve the court. Confucianism establishes words, establishes morality, and performs meritorious service, which are the three immortals. Although Heng is not talented, he also has a heart.
Longing for it.”
Lianxue looked at the handsome young man's face, and was in a daze for a moment. She didn't know what she thought of, but her crystal clear eyes seemed a little sad, and she said in a clear voice: "It's just that the officialdom is ups and downs, the wind is high and the waves are rough, and I want to do something good.
It’s not that easy.”
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It all depends on people."
The two of them were talking, and the carriage stopped by the corner gate of the princess's residence, saying silently
"We're here, Mr. Jia, come down with me." Lianxue's voice was much softer than before.
Jia Heng responded, got off the carriage, followed Lianxue through the corner door, passed through the hanging flower door, and walked along the long corridor towards the depths of the courtyard.
Jia Heng didn't squint his eyes, but after just a cursory glance, he felt that it was more majestic and dense than the Rongguo Mansion.
Before arriving at the attic, Lianxue talked for a while with a maid in a hookah and pomegranate dress in front of the door. After the maid went in and returned to the eldest princess, she turned around and said: "Shortly after the princess woke up from her afternoon nap, she was on the second floor. I will take you there."
Go in."
Jia Heng said: "I have mercy on Miss Xue."
One after another, Jia Heng stepped up to the attic where there was a plaque inscribed with Feng Laiyi.
On the second floor, Lianxue followed her to the outside of the threshold and asked Jia Heng to wait here. Then she entered the room and said to Jia Heng, "Come in, Mr. Jia."
Jia Heng stepped on the carpet and walked around a mahogany landscape screen. After walking for a while, he entered a spacious and elegant pavilion with exquisite and luxurious decoration. At Ling Xue's greeting, he sat on a chair next to the small table.
, there was a maid offering fragrant tea.
Jia Heng thanked her softly, raised her eyes, and saw the beaded curtain hanging down in front of her, and a shadowy figure of a woman. She didn't know if she was a maid or the eldest princess of Jinyang.
I heard someone inside say, "Master Jia, please have a cup of tea first and wait a moment. The princess will come over in a moment."
Jia Heng responded and waited patiently.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, I heard the maid's greeting from behind the heavy bead curtain, "I have met Your Highness."
Jia Heng also put down his tea cup, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Jia Heng has met His Highness Jinyang."
"Master Jia, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."
A voice of a flying lady floated out from behind the curtain. It was gentle and graceful. The beaded curtain rattled. Lianxue stepped out, chuckled and said, "Master Jia, just sit down and answer."
Jia Heng thanked him and sat down again. He didn't feel flattered at all. After all, no one was in sight. He was watching from behind the curtain, but he had to listen to government affairs behind the curtain, just like the call of a military plane.
Seeing this, Lianxue's bright eyes flashed, and she secretly thought, this person is really...
"Mr. Jia, I have read this manuscript of the Three Kingdoms. I have to say that the writing style is sophisticated, the atmosphere is broad, and it has the style of a famous writer. I didn't believe it at first, but it was really written by a young man." The eldest princess of Jinyang said.
When he opens his mouth, he is full of praise.
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness is so complimentary."
"After I read the sixth chapter, I have a few things that I don't understand. I want to ask you. It seems that your article says that the person who brought chaos to the Han family was Yuan Shao? Isn't he a relative or a eunuch?" Princess Jinyang suddenly asked.
road.
Jia Heng's expression paused and he said: "This matter..."
How should I put this? Asking this kind of political question at the beginning, this princess of Jinyang is really a peaceful and happy person?
Princess Jinyang said: "Today is just a casual chat, you don't need to worry too much."
Jia Heng asked: "Has His Highness Jinyang read the History of the Three Kingdoms?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang was silent for a moment and said: "I heard Dr. Zhishi mention it before in the palace, but it was just a few words without any detailed research."
Why is it impossible to read history in court education? It’s just that when she was young in Jinyang, the girl had an innocent temperament and lacked interest in history books, but was more interested in poetry and poetry. However, as she got older and had rich experience, she became more interested in history and political commentary.
Getting thicker and thicker.
Jia Heng said: "Although the disaster caused by the eunuchs was severe, it could not beat the mid-Tang Dynasty. In the later Han Dynasty, although the eunuchs corrupted the imperial court and sold their officials and titles, the cause lies with Emperor Huanling."
Of course, Emperor Huanling did not necessarily want to sell his official position. In the final analysis, it was still the central financial crisis in the middle and late period of the dynasty. Of course, when Jia Heng met for the first time, he probably didn’t explain it in too much detail, so he couldn’t say that the eldest princess... was associated with this dynasty.
Things like the law of historical cycles were a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow to the ancients.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was silent for a moment and said in a clear voice: "This statement is true. A wise ruler will make his ministers wise. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked."
Jia Heng said: "Your Highness, looking at the Later Han Dynasty, the emperor grew up in a deep palace and was raised in the hands of women. The only people who can be trusted are relatives and eunuchs. The former are relatives and the latter are domestic slaves. And the powerful scholars started in the county.
The counties, after being inspected and promoted, were promoted to serve as officials, filling the central places, and gradually formed a three-legged relationship with the eunuchs and relatives. I thought that Yuan Shao was the heir to the Confucian classics, the fourth generation and the three princes, and his disciples and former officials were all over the country and abroad. How could he advance his suggestions and lead the border troops to the capital for execution?
Eunuchs are meant to hide evil intentions and draw chestnuts from the fire! The ten permanent servants, the servants of the family, wipe out the other generation, so why send foreign troops to the capital? It is obvious that Shao wants to use this strategy to bring chaos to the Han family and the world. This is the chaos in the central government, and Emperor Liu Han has fled.
, as a result, the world is looking at it with suspicion, the sea is boiling, and people's hearts are floating, and the aristocratic family takes advantage of the chaos to steal the artifact..."
The eldest princess of Jinyang originally looked at ease, lying on her side on the cloud bed in a lazy posture, but unconsciously she was sitting upright. Her charming cheeks of heavenly fragrance and national beauty were flushed with emotion, and she said in a trembling voice: "Aristocratic family, aristocratic family, is this like this?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said calmly: "A dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron and steel."
