Jiang Rong has loved reading since he was a child.
Mrs. Chang used to tease her when she pretended to have a deep love for mother and daughter, but it was a pity that she was not a man, otherwise the Jiang family would have another champion.
Unfortunately, women were not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.
But so what?
She can hide in the background...
Qianqiu Yishu has three purposes. One is to make money, and the other is to control public opinion.
The third is that as soon as this book is published, some students who aspire to take the imperial examination will definitely come to become their disciples.
In this world, some scholars are unwilling to rely on the powerful.
But some people are willing.
Jiang Rong knew that the former was a valuable person, but as a powerful person, she needed the latter to be used by her.
The next day.
Wanjuan Study Hall is overcrowded.
Some came to see the great scholar as his disciple, some came to ask when the second issue would be sold, and some people lingered in the study hoping to meet the great scholar by chance and make it lively.
Qiuniang presented a thick pile of greeting cards to Jiang Rong:
"Prince Concubine, these are invitations to worship Senior Qianqiu as my disciple. This is to invite Senior to be a guest... We don't know the name of Senior, so let's call him this for the time being..."
Jiang Rong didn't mind what others called him, and said calmly, "The apprenticeship post will remain. The others have been withdrawn."
"Yes." Qiuniang accepted the order respectfully and asked for instructions: "Many people ask when will the second issue of "Qianqiu" be released?"
"Then it depends on when Song Heng and the others finish writing the next volume."
……
Jiang Rong opened the letters of apprenticeship.
When students become apprentices, in addition to writing a sincere letter of apprenticeship, they will also append their own articles to ask for advice from their seniors.
Jiang Rong opened the envelope...
Most of them are mediocre people.
This is also normal.
It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. It may be unfair, but most talented people come from scholarly families.
The young masters of these aristocratic families all have their disciples, and they have great Confucian seniors as their teachers, so it is impossible for them to worship the mountain tops randomly.
There are also some talented people who come from poor families but have amazing talents, and they have already been attracted by other aristocratic families.
Those civil servants and aristocratic families began to select people as early as in Mengxue.
Of course, most of the rest have mediocre qualifications.
"This article is... very good." Jiang Rong's eyes lit up. Looking at the last signature, it turned out to be Song Heng...
Song Heng?
Jiang Rong was deeply surprised.
Although she originally planned to use "Qianqiu" as bait to catch him.
But he also knew that it was impossible for a lonely minister like him who never formed cliques to join the Northern Palace.
Therefore, I originally planned to hold a lecture in the study, and he would most likely come to listen.
After getting acquainted like this, it was enough to make an ally. I never thought I could recruit him.
Jiang Rong looked at the apprenticeship letter he wrote again. It was all about discussing the difficult and complicated points of the first issue of Qianqiu Juan, and he devoted himself to learning...
Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh. Young Master Song Heng is really, innocent and cute.
I never thought about the behind-the-scenes meaning of apprenticeship...
Senior "Qianqiu" is a great scholar in the Northern Palace.
As a student of this person, he is naturally a member of the Beiwangfu faction. When Song Heng entered the officialdom, this was his origin.
Since ancient times, the king of heaven and earth has been the master.
Teachers and students are as close as father and son and cannot be abandoned.
But Song Heng was born in a poor family and had too little experience to understand the twists and turns of officialdom in aristocratic families.
"Tsk, you sold yourself and you don't know it yet?" Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh as she looked at his letter.
Jiang Rong pondered for a moment and left his apprenticeship note.
A pure minister has the path of a pure minister. He is not the person who can do things for Jiang Rong, but before he grows up, Jiang Rong feels that he needs to teach him.
Jiang Rong continued to turn back...
When I was almost finished flipping through it, I finally saw another interesting article.
"This literary talent is on par with Song Heng's..." Jiang Rong nodded repeatedly, his eyes falling on the signature at the end, his eyes darkening slightly.
Ikeboku words.
Jiang Rong unfolded the apprenticeship letter he wrote...
His words were sincere and very humble, and he even said that even if he could not win the respect of his seniors, he just wanted to be a tea boy.
This is the obvious drunkard's intention not to drink.
Use this as a springboard, just to worship at the door of Beiwang Mansion.
With such knowledge and such unscrupulousness, it seems that he is right.
The future generation of traitorous officials, Chi Moyan.
This man is the exiled son of Lin Yide, Minister of Rites. After taking the imperial examination three years later, he became a Jinshi in high school, returned to the Lin family, and recognized his ancestors.
The Minister of Rites is a member of the Duanwang Party.
But no one expected that Chi Moyan turned out to be the prince's secret chess piece.
I don’t know how much information I secretly helped the prince to find out about the King Duan Party.
When the prince ascended the throne, Chi Moyan suddenly transformed and became a powerful official of the dynasty. He was the young minister of Dali Temple and was responsible for purging disloyal parties for the new emperor.
None of the courtiers of the Duanwang Party ended well.
And it seemed that in order to show his loyalty to the new emperor, he was especially cruel to the Lin family. Lin Yide was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and thus the Lin family was judged to have killed the nine tribes.
That was the fifth year since the old prince passed away.
The assassination of the old prince was originally an unsolved case.
But Chi Moyan uncovered the case, forged evidence, and falsely accused Lin Yide of colluding with the enemy, colluding with Bei Mo, and murdering the old prince.
Therefore, the case involves the old prince, and Jiang Rong secretly followed the investigation throughout the whole process. In fact, there is no connection between the Minister of Rites and Beimo. This is an unjust case.
But Chi Moyan relied on the power of the new king to confuse right and wrong and unjustly killed his biological father and nine clans.
After that, he framed Zhongliang, joined the party and opposed dissenters, and unjustly killed countless ministers who disagreed with his political views.
Song Heng was brutally murdered by him.
Many generals from the Beiwangfu faction were also persecuted by him.
Jiang Rong's eyes were cold and he threw his post aside.
This man deserves to die!
It is better to kill them in advance to avoid future troubles.
But... Chi Moyan is still just a scholar now and has not done anything yet.
Jiang Rong hesitated for a moment and picked up the dropped post again.
Let's first take a look at what Chi Moyan was like ten years ago.
If he is a born bad guy, kill him before he grows up to save trouble.
"Jade, go check this person out for me." Jiang Rong handed Chi Moyan's greeting card to Jade.
Jade took it solemnly, "Prince Princess, don't worry, this person's life history will be clearly investigated!"
……
On the western outskirts of the capital, there is a simple farmhouse with a fence.
"Mom, you have bad eyesight, so stop embroidering. I earned some money by writing articles for people a few days ago..." Chi Moyan snatched the embroidery from a woman.
The woman must have been extremely beautiful when she was young, but she has been tortured by life and looks extra old. A pair of originally beautiful big eyes, one was blinded by day and night embroidery, leaving only one that can see.
"Mo Yan, the most important thing for you now is to study. But don't delay the imperial examination just to make money." Chi's mother tremblingly took Chi Moyan's hand and said:
"Your father is a Jinshi, you can't be too far behind."
Hearing this, Chi Moyan's eyes darkened slightly.
"Mo Yan, have you heard any news about your father recently?" Chi's mother asked with concern.
Chi Mu is from Jiangnan and the daughter of a merchant.
She got pregnant out of wedlock and was kicked out of the house.
Fortunately, she has a pair of skillful embroidery skills, and she supports herself and her son by making embroidery.
That "Mr. Mo" is from the capital. It is said that he came from a small family and went to Jiangnan to visit relatives. He met Chi's mother unexpectedly and fell in love with Chi's mother.
He said that when he returned to Beijing, he invited his parents to propose marriage and asked Chi's mother to wait for him. He would definitely come back.
As a result, after leaving, there was no news for more than ten years.
