[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

Jia Amnesty sat calmly on the chair and reviewed the examination papers. The first question at the beginning was not quite conventional, and it was not a similar question that he had seen before.The emperor also seems to want to reform, but relying on the scholar-officials to reform...is it serious?

"Since the founding of the country, the royal family and the literati have ruled the world together. However, the people of yesterday are not the people of today, and most of the literati have lost their way. In recent years, there have been many people who have taken bribes and conspired to form cliques. They are no longer clean and honest. What is the way to revive the atmosphere of the imperial court without evil spirits?"

Quietly looking at the questions in front of him, no one in the hall responded in order not to affect the students' exams, only the sound of grinding and writing.The emperor sat on a high dragon chair, condescendingly watching the students in the hall answering questions.

Most of the previous strategies and theories were about water conservancy, agriculture, or military affairs, and there has never been such a paper.He has always cared about the face of the veterans, who have been with him for more than ten or twenty years, and he is reluctant to lose their face like this.

Before the exam started, only the emperor and the Minister of Rites knew the questions, and no one else had the guts to pry into them.This question was no less than a slap in the face of those old ministers, but the emperor really didn't want to bear it anymore.

He sat on the throne smoothly, and no uncles or brothers came to compete with him.Most of the people who hold high positions in the Golden Palace are those who supported him back then and gave him a lot of help at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

Because of this, he couldn't bear to punish those old ministers who were filial and corrupt. He only thought that their families were struggling, and even opened a treasury to allow them to borrow money.Unexpectedly, after opening this hole, no matter whether you have money or not, you will go to the treasury to borrow money, and then you will cry for poverty when you ask for debts.

The emperor is also in a dilemma, don't pay it back, it's money from the treasury, and it needs to be used in case of disaster somewhere.But if they really asked them to pay back the money, it hurts to see them all crying poor.

Therefore, I want to find a way to deal with them. It is okay not to pay back the money temporarily, but forget about the corruption and bribery.This time is also a warning from him, I hope they can notice it, don't keep looking for a sense of existence back and forth on his bottom line.

Seeing his son-in-law writing furiously below, the emperor was also a little curious.This young man is amazing. He was taught by that old fox, Duke Rong, and he still has the skills, so he is willing to work hard to study agriculture.

There is nothing in this world that he can't find if he wants to, and he also knows that Jia Amnesty's real secret is in Zhuangzi's backyard, not in the rice outside.Judging from the frequency of Jia Amnesty's entry and exit, he almost did it himself, and rarely did it by others.

He knew a thing or two about the Jia family's affairs. Jia Daishan didn't say that he would hand over his military power all these years after he triumphed, but when the princes were about to grow up, they wanted to hand over.He wouldn't believe it if there was nothing tricky about it, probably because he was afraid that some prince would try to win him over, and the Jia family would hand over the military power directly if they didn't want to.

The emperor on the dragon chair suddenly stood up and startled the elders.In previous years, the emperor seldom invigilated the exam in person. This year, he not only had to accompany the exam throughout the exam, but even went down for a tour.

Seeing that some students couldn't hold their pens steadily, their elders also hid their faces in shame.The children still see too few big scenes, so they are a little nervous.Look at Jia She and Lin Hai, the pens are steady, and the speed has not changed.

The emperor stood behind the students and looked at the drafts they were typing. He was not surprised to see some empty words, and the officials of the court and the central government loved to use these to fool people.At a glance, they are all useful, but if you look at them carefully, they are just some great principles.

Lin Hai's father, Lin Hou, met him when he was still the prince.Suave and suave, square as jade, as if tailor-made for him.Looking at it today, it is true that like father, like son, they are all good children.

Looking at Lin Hai's draft of "high salary to maintain integrity" and "revitalization of education" is also somewhat gratifying. Although the feasibility is not great, at least some practical suggestions can be made.It can be seen that it is also beneficial to get in touch with more folks, and you will not be rigid with books.

Pretending to turn casually behind Jia She, the emperor remained silent.If he didn't know the genuine Confucianist sitting in front of him, he would have thought that some legalist pretending to be a Confucian scholar had sneaked in.

To be honest, today's Confucianism is formed by absorbing Legalism, Mohism, Taoism and other schools, and it is not just a single school of Confucianism.However, Jia Amnesty's clear legalist thinking still surprised the emperor, so he couldn't help but read it carefully.

"Human nature likes profit. There is a common saying among the people: 'The poor are in the busy city and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains'①. I am used to the degree and take the long name and the weight. The power is claimed. Heavily punished to avoid corruption. Although human nature is good, it is beneficial to touch people's hearts. Although it is beneficial to touch people's hearts, if the punishment is heavier than the crime, it may be helpful..."

Looking at the "law", "benefit" and "punishment" emperors' heads getting bigger, he still underestimated Jia She's courage.You must know that those examiners who will read the papers later are still those who Jia She seems to need to be severely punished. If those people get angry and press Jia She's papers, he may not be able to see them.

Of course, maybe I saw him come down to invigilate the exam in person, so I wrote it for him.In my impression, Jia She has always been a good boy of Zhili, and I have never heard that Jia She also likes to study Legalism.

The Minister of Rites was also a little curious to see the emperor staying beside Jia She, and stretched his neck to look forward after following the emperor.On the spot, he wanted to perform a hand-torn paper for the emperor, so that the imperial army would fork out this ignorant Jia Amnesty.

Fortunately, he thought that Jia She was a good seed, born in the family of a military general, he was well educated, and he might be a talent with both civil and military skills in the future.Can you see what is written here?A benevolent man loves others, why does he want to increase the punishment at every turn?I can't punish the doctor!

The emperor noticed the displeasure of the stubborn and inflexible old man, and felt more at ease.I cried for being poor before, but turned around and took advantage of the imperial examination to collect a large sum of money.If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to do something good for the country, and the relationship between the DPRK and China was deeply intertwined, he would have dealt with it a long time ago, so how could he be tolerated.

Looking at the policy theory written by Jia Amnesty in a happy mood, he waited for him to finish the draft and transcribe it.Before the ink was dry, the emperor returned to the dragon chair with the paper in his hands to read it again.

He is also very strange, youthful spirit is normal.But it happens that young people recruit Jinshi every time, and there should be some troubles, but it has always been calm.He also wants to slowly replace the old officials in the court, but even if he promotes new officials, they will always look like the old officials.

Most young people have lofty ideals and ambitions. He has never heard less of the words "to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to create peace for all generations".But after hitting a wall in the officialdom, he became discouraged, and eventually betrayed his ideals slowly in order to protect his safety or future.

Not to mention the coercion of the world, these so-called ideals are more likely to be forgotten.

The most difficult thing is to deal with people's sophistication, and most of the people who can enter the court are family members.Since entering the imperial court, of course, they still follow the family, even if they see something, they will ignore it, and even help to cover it up.Because of this, he has become more and more eager to promote the children of poor families over the years.

But books are almost monopolized, and all the books on the market are extremely expensive.Not to mention the four treasures of the study that need to be consumed for reading, which will be used for a long time.People who can afford to study naturally don't really have no connections, even if they use money, they can make a way.

Even if you are really poor, you will always have in-laws and make friends after you become an official.In this way, do you care about the accidents of friends and relatives or not?If you take care of it, you may do some things that bend the law for personal gain, and if you don't care about it, no one will be your relative or friend.

The emperor is also helpless, as long as there are promising children from poor families available, he will suppress Jia She Linhai and others.But among all the people in the palace examination, they are the only ones who can make effective suggestions, and only they have the confidence to implement them.

Don't think about it anymore, he has always loved talents.They may do some corruption and bribery or even form a party, but this is far from threatening his rule.Not to mention that their abilities are also excellent, and there is no major problem in assisting the country and the people.

He still wants to use Jia Amnesty to revise the criminal law, but this will have to wait until the good breed is successfully developed.How to feed the people is the most important thing, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.

Jia Amnesty was forced to hand in the papers ahead of time and couldn't leave, and he still had to wait until sunset to leave the palace.Sitting quietly on the chair and performing the exercises, Jia Amnesty was not in a hurry.If you have a sore back and aching legs, it is enough to perform the exercises once, just as you are practicing at home.

While waiting, candidates handed in their papers one after another, and Jia Amnesty also saw a few familiar faces among them, who were invited together when they hosted a banquet for Lin Hai.At this time, Jia Amnesty's examination papers had already been circulated among the ten examiners, and they wanted to mark all of them as Xs, but they thought that the emperor had already read the papers...

The ten elders clutched their chests and marked ○ on Jia Amnesty's paper with no sincerity. After all, there were no mistakes in writing, scheduling, and format, and even the content was an effective method.

After the examinees handed in their papers at dusk, the examiners began to work overtime.Forty papers per person is not too much, and not too little.Fortunately, there are quite a few candidates who submitted in advance, and they have already corrected some of them in the afternoon.

After finishing the statistics that night, they submitted the top ten papers for the winners, and also sent up the proposed rankings.Jia Amnesty was pinched by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and placed on the top, the ten ○s on it were very eye-catching.

Jia Amnesty sat in a very uncomfortable position all day, and after saying goodbye to Lin Hai, he managed to maintain an upright sitting posture when he got into the carriage.After returning to his own home, he didn't want to stay alone in the empty room, so he touched Mizusawa's room and wanted to join him.

It was just getting dark at this time, and Shui Ze ate dinner early because he was bored, and waited in the room for Jia She to come back.Jia Amnesty looked at the dim light in the room, Tweety opened the curtain for him, and gently instructed, "Grandma may be sleepy, sir, be careful."

Stepping lightly, Jia She saw Yingge sitting on the small pier outside sewing clothes, and was a little surprised to see him coming.Quickly walked to the curtain, "Master, be careful, grandma has been waiting and refused to rest, I'm afraid she is squinting now."

As soon as he lowered his head and entered the room, he saw Mizusawa lying on the table and fell asleep, his body was still covered with his old clothes.

"Where's Lian'er?" Jia Amnesty didn't see the cradle in the room, so she turned her head and asked Yingge softly.

"Brother was taken to the next room by the nanny. Grandma needs to rest. It's inconvenient for me to be here all the time." Yingge also replied in a low voice, not daring to wake up Shui Ze.The child is also noisy these days, and Mizusawa is worried that the child has not had a good rest.

"Succeed, if you are careful, go over there to take care of it more, and let your grandma thank you later." Jia Amnesty was not very relieved to let a baby who couldn't speak yet be with the nanny.After a while, I still have to personally kill some of these servants.

"Master, I'm offended, and the little master's business is also my business." Yingge smiled sincerely. The two masters have treated her with great kindness, and she can only repay her with this kindness.

Seeing that Jia She had nothing to say, Yingge withdrew, leaving time for the two of them.The princess has also been fidgeting at home all day, and she must be happy and relieved to see her son-in-law later.

Looking at Shui Ze's sleeping face by the flickering candlelight, Jia Amnesty felt that he should not be like this.Human soul and appearance are basically the same, but the appearance of Mizusawa's soul is inconsistent with the appearance, at most five points similar.

He has always known that Mizusawa's identity is unusual, he is probably a creature from a certain big world.He himself comes from the middle world, but because of the formation of the godhead, he has an aura of law.Although Mizusawa does not have the aura of law, he can still see the power of the soul.

It is precisely because of this that he will let himself fall in love with him at first sight.Otherwise, there will be no good results for two creatures with infinite life levels, and it will be very difficult to achieve a good result.

It's not a matter of lifespan. As a god, he can let the creatures in his world have the same lifespan as himself to accompany him forever.However, can such a vassal love last long?Mizusawa will never be able to reach his life level, and the gap will even become wider and wider.

Any relationship should not be mixed with vassals. Once such a situation occurs, unless one person bears it, the relationship will eventually break down.The eternal hopeless pursuit, the unreachable shore, this will be an inescapable shackle that tortures his lover.

Mizusawa blinked, looking surprised at Jia She who was beside him.Standing up and putting away the old clothes, he took the scissors and cut off the burnt wick, "I fell asleep while waiting ②②, and I failed to let you see me at the first sight."

Jia She smiled, "You can see me at first sight every morning, and I can see you at first sight too."

Mizusawa was a little embarrassed, and changed the subject to ask about the imperial examination.Jia Amnesty didn't think there was anything wrong with telling Shuizawa about it, so he told Shuizawa about all the four questions about policy theory that he got in the exam.

During these years traveling together with Jia Amnesty, Shuizawa has seen a lot.Although he didn't practice the Four Books and Five Classics, he could answer a few simple sentences, which was also a reference for Jia She.

He never thought that being married meant he couldn't discuss politics, but he just couldn't talk about it openly.He discussed with Jia She in private and no one else knew anything, which is also a manifestation of his value.
