Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade!
This is an understanding formed from dynasty after dynasty, and it cannot be changed overnight.
Why is it so difficult for a miscellaneous student to enter the Imperial College?
After all, Confucianism, which is one of these "three religions", believes that the people behind miscellaneous studies are the ninth-rate people, and they are not the upper-class, but the middle-class, and the lower-class.
For example, in the middle stream, there are "first-rate scholars, second-rate doctors, third-rate painters (painters), fourth-rate skins (shadow puppets)", and in the lower stream, there are "five-rate pools, six back-rubbings, seven-level cultivation, eight matching and nine prostitutes".
These people have bad status, no status, and are not worthy of entering the Imperial College.
But whether it is worthy or not is, after all, just a matter of face, not a technical issue.
Zhu Yunwen personally revealed the truth, solved the problem of face, and introduced miscellaneous scholars to the Imperial College through a debate. To this end, he also used power means to remove several officials. In this way, from time to time, stubborn censors would still clamor to remove miscellaneous scholars. Xue was driven out of the Imperial College.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to use the method of scholars to learn miscellaneous knowledge, that is, to build officials' new thinking and new abilities, and also to change their ideas.
After all, these people have also learned miscellaneous studies. If they continue to scold miscellaneous people, wouldn’t they also be scolding themselves?
If everyone wants to be shameless, don't look down on this one or that one. They are all just living in the same ecosystem. As for belittling other people too much?
But now it seems that the effect of this move has not really appeared yet.
Only relying on this "moisturizing things silently" method may not make much difference in a few decades. Zhu Yunwen secretly made up his mind to find ways to improve the status of Xiabaiyi, such as doctors, craftsmen, etc.
Passing by Wu County, Zhu Yunwen, Ning Fei and his party finally arrived in Suzhou.
At the ferry, Concubine Ning took Zhu Yunwen's arm, pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "Look, it's Tiger Hill!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at the Huqiu Mountain in the distance. Before he could remember Su Dongpo's famous saying, "It is said that if you don't visit Huqiu or visit Luqiu in Gusu, you will be in trouble." Concubine Ning pulled her forward. .
Tiger Hill is located in the northwest of Suzhou City, very close to the ferry where Zhu Yunwen and others are, and they can't walk more than three miles before they are close.
In front of you is the yellow Huqiu Mountain Gate. There is no vertical plaque of "Hufu Temple" written by Xuan Ye in his humble hand. There is only a simple horizontal plaque with the vigorous characters "Eastern Wu Huqiu" written on it.
"Let's go up the mountain."
Seeing that Concubine Ning was in high spirits, Zhu Yunwen didn't waste any time.
"Master!"
Xue Xia suddenly stepped forward and called out to Zhu Yunwen in a low voice.
Zhu Yunwen turned back to look at Xue Xia. Xue Xia was speechless, but his face was very ugly. The dagger at his waist was already half out of its sheath, and several other guards were spread out in front and back, wary of anyone who dared to approach.
The sudden nervousness made Zhu Yunwen feel that something had changed, and he winked at Cong Pei'er. Cong Pei'er nodded without any trace, and naturally took Concubine Ning's arm and said: "Sister, that's Suzhou City over there, right?" ?”
Seeing that Concubine Ning's attention was drawn away, Zhu Yunwen asked Xue Xia, "What's the matter?"
Xue Xia turned his attention to the plaque.
Zhu Yunwen looked along, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. In the lower right corner of the big character "Tiger Hill", there were four less conspicuous small characters:
Ancient and modern!
Zhu Yunwen did not expect that after more than a year of silence, he would see this mysterious emblem again in Huqiu Mountain outside Suzhou!
"There is danger here and it is not suitable to climb the mountain."
Xue Xia persuaded in a low voice.
The appearance of the Tiger Hill plaque has shocked the past and present. It is definitely not a coincidence. It is very likely that there is a rebellious force in the mountain! However, there are only a few of them, Sun Dong, and they may not be able to protect the emperor once they are caught in a group fight.
Zhu Yunwen was also a little lost. In ancient and modern times, this name has gone through a lot of ups and downs since Dingyuan appeared, especially in Kaifeng Mansion, which was even more bloody. Not long ago, Jingzhe was killed in the prison of Xiaoling Shrine. Jingzhe's words before his death, "How many people have benefited from ancient and modern times, and sacrificed their lives to fight for merit" seemed to reveal their relationship with ancient and modern times.
This name seems to be synonymous with conspiracy, hidden in the dark, neither visible nor fathomable.
"interesting."
Zhu Yunwen smiled calmly.
It is a blessing to go out for a trip and meet "old friends".
Just when Xue Xia was about to speak, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "Don't worry, no one will think that I will appear here, go up the mountain, don't disturb the leisurely enjoyment of the mountain."
"this……"
Xue Xia was a little anxious. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was unwilling to change his plan, he grabbed a Security Bureau guard and said in a low voice: "Go to Suzhou City immediately and bring all the Security Bureau people up the mountain!"
The guard glanced at Zhu Yunwen and saw that he had no objection, so he hurried out.
It's only seven miles away from Suzhou City, so it won't take long to arrive.
Xue Xia then looked at Sun Dong solemnly and signaled him to lead others to be vigilant around him while he protected him on one side.
Concubine Ning looked at Cong Pei'er who was looking away from her left and right, then took a deep look at Zhu Yunwen, and whispered: "If something happens, we can enter the city first."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "It's nothing, I want to go up the mountain and have a look."
Seeing this, Concubine Ning did not ask further questions.
Huqiu is also known as Haiyong Mountain. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Situ Wangxun and his younger brother Sikong Wangmin built villas on both sides of Jianchi. The back house was a temple, and it was named Huqiu Temple. The temple was built along the mountain, and one of the "mountains hidden in the temple" was Great feature.
There has always been a saying that "the mountain behind Tiger Hill is better than the mountain in front".
However, Tiger Hill was most prosperous during the Kangxi and Qianlong years of the Qing Dynasty. The emperors who visited the south came to Tiger Hill time and time again, and sometimes visited Tiger Hill repeatedly, which shows that its scenery is extremely beautiful.
At that time, the grandfather and grandson often lived in Huqiu. They also built a palace and acquired a bunch of buildings and good objects. They came from Beijing to live there when they had nothing to do.
Although Tiger Hill in the Ming Dynasty was not as prosperous as in the Qing Dynasty, the scenery was more unique, and everything seemed to be integrated into this mountain forest.
"Yunyan Temple Tower!"
Zhu Yunwen walked step by step and looked at the attic-style brick-body and wooden eaves tower in front of him. His hands trembled slightly and he stretched out his hands to press on the outer wall of the tower. Feeling this real scene, the deeply buried memories stirred up again.
Once, I stood here, in this position, touching here.
However, time and space are misplaced.
Hundreds of years later, it still exists here and still attracts countless tourists. However, they would not know that during the Ming Dynasty, an emperor named Zhu Yunwen left his footprints here.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Concubine Ning felt something strange and couldn't help but asked with concern.
Zhu Yunwen withdrew his gaze. Across hundreds of years of time and space, only this tower has witnessed everything.
"It's nothing, just a little familiar. It seems like I've been here before."
Zhu Yunwen, as always, blamed the dream.
Concubine Ning smiled lightly, tilted her head slightly and said, "Does it seem like it?"
Zhu Yunwen raised his brows and reached out to scratch Concubine Ning's waist. Concubine Ning immediately apologized and said, "I was wrong. I apologize to my husband."
Only then did Zhu Yunwen let Concubine Ning go, took Concubine Ning's hand and said: "These are the only witnesses of history. If they are not protected, it will be our loss and the loss of future generations. Let Suzhou Prefecture repair this Tiger Hill in the future Come on, the tower can’t fall!”
Concubine Ning nodded in agreement and whispered: "Sometimes, I feel that my husband is very mysterious and seems to have many secrets."
Zhu Yunwen was startled and looked at Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning also raised her head and looked at each other without giving in at all.
"You have seen everything about me, there is no secret..."
Zhu Yunwen defeated Concubine Ning's gaze in a ruthless manner. The blushing Concubine Ning stamped her feet and went to find Cong Pei'er.
The two major scenic spots in Tiger Hill are the Baiyan Temple Pagoda, also known as the Tiger Hill Pagoda, and the Jianchi, which is said to be the tomb of King Wu Helu.
"Xue Xia, do you know anything about this sword pool?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xue Xia shook his head slightly and said: "I have only heard some rumors that this sword pool is the most mysterious place in Huqiu. The entrance to the tomb of King Wu Helu is here. Rumor has it that in his tomb, there are swords such as Bianzhu and Yuchang. There are three thousand swords, and even Qin Shihuang and Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty came here to dig swords, and this is how the sword pool was established."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the sword pool. He didn't feel much from the plane, but if he looked down, he could see that the shape of the pool was like a flat sword.
Sword Pond has always attracted countless people, and even emperors want to stay here for a long time. It is not only the legend of Sword Pond itself, but also related to the words beside it.
Not far away, the four characters "Huqiu Sword Pool" are engraved next to the round cave door of "Bieyou Cave", which is said to be the handwriting of Yan Zhenqing's son Yan Kai.
The stone wall inside the round cave is also engraved with "Wind Valley Cloud Spring". These four characters were written by Mi Fu, one of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty.
These two are already great enough.
Don't worry, there are two seal scripts of "Sword Pool" on the left wall of the cliff, and the person who wrote these two words has a greater background. Rumor has it that he is Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
There are not many places in the world where such a large number of great figures can gather together to write an inscription.
Zhu Yunwen was tasting the word "Sword Pool" to see if he could understand some of the sword's meaning. After trying for a long time, he couldn't find any true energy flowing in Rendu's two meridians. He probably didn't have the talent to practice martial arts...
"Have you heard? Last night in Suzhou, three wing rooms of the Liu family's old house collapsed."
"Really? Is anyone hurt?"
"Hey, a censor died. It was so tragic. When he was brought out, the blood seeped into the official uniform, as if a pillar had hit his chest."
"Censor? Could it be Wang Kang, censor?"
"Is there anyone else besides him?"
"This... is such a pity."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the two of them, walked over, and said, "You two just said that Wang Kang, the censor, is dead?"
The two of them looked at Zhu Yunwen, and one of them, an older man, replied: "We only heard about it, we can't take it seriously."
Zhu Yunwen said nothing more, watched the two people leave, waved to Xue Xia, and said, "Did you hear that?"
Xue Xia nodded and said: "It must be an accident, right? After all, no one dares to attack the imperial official."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "If what those two people heard is true, it can prove that after Wang Kang was killed, the house was destroyed and the scene was faked!"
"ah?"
Xue Xia looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, Your Majesty, you can't be too arbitrary.
You are the emperor, not a police officer, and you have never done any criminal investigation. How can you be so sure?
