When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 649 Master Xun: I say Yan Lingji is the Holy Maiden of Baiyue. Who agrees and who disagrees?

After solving Xiao Yang'er's apprenticeship problem, Yan Lingji, as the biological mother who performed the apprenticeship ceremony on behalf of her own child, also gained amazing benefits.

First of all, it’s a question of identity!
Even though Yan Lingji gave birth to Zhang Ji's first son, and this son would become a famous figure in history and a disciple of Master Xun, it could not conceal the fact that Yan Lingji came from a humble background.

It is not known whether it is because he loves the child so much or simply for the future of this child who cannot yet speak, Master Xun gathered a number of great scholars to create an identity for Yan Lingji!
That’s right, just create an identity!
Just as it has been the characteristic of the Chinese people since ancient times that people would carve stones at Yanran when they were poor and would control fire when they were rich, Confucianism has publicly announced that according to recent Confucian research, Yan Lingji, who was born with the ability to control fire, is actually a descendant of the noble Baiyue Saint Maiden.

You ask for evidence?

Arresting people on number 76... When a Confucian speaks, he will naturally forge evidence in advance!

Anyway, there are not many people in the world who understand Baiyue?

It is hard to tell whether it is "the mother is honored by her son" or "the son is honored by his mother", but Xiao Yang'er does have a noble new identity, "the Holy Grandson of Baiyue"!
As for the rest of the Hundred Schools of Thought, we can only say that they all understand. Who dares to say that they have never needed to ask for help from others or needed to build momentum for their disciples within the school?
Taoists, Mohists, Yin-Yangists, doctors, and alchemists all said that after careful research, they confirmed that what the great Confucian scholars said was true!

Of course, there are doubts.

There are people who sing a different tune within Confucianism, but such doubts can only be kept in private. Anyone who dares to publicly question or make similar remarks will be... ahem, the double-flowered red sticks of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism held a cordial and friendly talk and fully exchanged views.

The talks were beneficial, but the Double Flower Red Sticks sent by the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism expressed reservations about some of the opposition's views. They believed that these opposition views could not be ignored and decided to reserve the right to make further responses.

Within ten days, almost all the opposition members who dared to openly sing the opposite tune disappeared, truly disappeared in the physical sense!

After giving Yan Lingji a new identity, Master Xun instigated Zhang Ji to return to Anyi to worship his ancestors and inform the ancestors in the ancestral temple and his parents that the Zhang family of Anyi had successors.

Zhang Ji understood what Master Xun was planning, but unfortunately he had already discussed it with his wives and concubines and anyone who was his son would be eligible to inherit his position.

On the premise that he had a long enough life and was even confident that he could outlive most of his future grandchildren, Zhang Ji had the confidence and time to examine his children, and also had the ability and qualifications to appoint the most capable person rather than the eldest.

Therefore, what Xunzi did was in vain.

But Zhang Ji felt that it was still necessary to worship his ancestors and deceased parents. At least he had to let them know that he, the only male direct descendant of the Zhang family in Anyi, had a male who could carry on the clan's legacy.

Soon Zhang Ji put his plan into practice. He took his family of more than ten people and his stepmother Zhao Ji and got on several luxurious carriages and drove towards Anyi.

When the autumn wind blows, the Sushui River Valley becomes dark yellow, quiet and desolate.

Zhang Ji was a native of Wei after all, and had lived in Wei since childhood, so he still had many memories and good feelings about his hometown. However, in his impression, Anyi was a poor border town.

Ever since King Hui of Wei shifted his strategic focus from Hedong and the western Qin State to the Central Plains, and changed his strategic goal to competing for hegemony with Qi and Chu, he moved the capital from Anyi to Daliang. Princes, nobles, and wealthy businessmen all followed the royal family south to Daliang. The once prosperous Anyi disappeared like a dream.

Afterwards, the State of Wei was severely damaged by the State of Qi, Pang Juan was killed in battle, and the State of Qin worked hard to strengthen itself, recaptured the Hexi Highlands, and occupied the Lishi Fortress in Hedong. Anyi then lost its northern gate and the natural barrier of the river.

Subsequently, the Shangdang Mountains were also occupied by the State of Zhao, and the northeast side of Anyi was completely open.

Suddenly, this once number one capital city in the world turned into a lonely frontier fortress surrounded by smoke and flames! The population dropped drastically, and business travel stopped.

However, as the Qin State successively destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, Anyi was completely transformed from a frontline city to a rear-line city. The new Anyi County magistrate benefited from Zhang Ji's influence and got this official position as a branch of the Anyi Zhang family.

Fortunately, this person with connections does have some abilities. At least when it comes to rebuilding his hometown, the magistrate of Anyi County has done his best.

The governor of Hedong County once served under Zhang Ji and was promoted to governor because of his military merits. Naturally, he paid more attention to his old boss' hometown and invested unimaginable resources in Anyi. This prompted the political achievements of the Anyi County Magistrate to far surpass those of others.

"Look, this Sushui River Valley is the famous hunting valley in Anyi in the past!"

In the carriage, Zhang Ji lifted the curtain and pointed out the window, and couldn't help but speak to the four women beside him.

Normally, only Jingwei, Chaoxi and Feiyan were qualified to ride in the same carriage with Zhang Ji when going out, but this time, Yan Lingji, a great contributor to the Zhang family, was also allowed to ride in the carriage by the three wives as an exception.

"This place was once a hunting ground for the royal family of Wei. Unfortunately, after the capital of Wei was moved, the wild animals raised there were not taken away. As a result, the wild animals broke through the wooden fences and multiplied in the valley. In addition, no one took care of it, and it eventually became a ruin covered with spider webs and dust and haunted by foxes and rabbits.

But whenever the moon is high in the night sky, the roars of tigers and the cries of monkeys in the valley spread far away with the breeze. Even the bravest hunters dare not step into this valley at night.

Looking at Zhang Ji pointing at the places along the way that brought back childhood memories excitedly like a child, the four girls smiled at each other.

Entering Anyi City, Zhang Ji felt extremely unfamiliar with the ever-changing Anyi City. However, relying on his childhood memories, he still visited many places, strolling around and reminiscing, his face full of vain satisfaction.

If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like wearing fine clothes and walking at night!
This kind of vanity that makes everyone impressed and overwhelmed when seeing it makes people feel so happy!
And finally, the old house that contained most of Zhang Ji’s childhood memories appeared in everyone’s sight!
