The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 40 Liu Daxia and Yan Shenggong

Chang Feng has been thinking hard all the way, how to create a strange disaster.

I racked my brain and couldn't figure out a way.

Before they knew it, everyone entered Qufu City.

The center of Qufu City is the Confucian Mansion, Confucian Temple, and Confucian Forest.

Countless scholars from all over the country, wearing square scarves on their heads, crowded and beat each other in the city of Qufu.

There are a large number of book sellers on the side of the road, all of which are four books and five classics.

In Beijing, a complete set of Four Books and Five Classics sold for only [-] yuan.In Qufu, it has been doubled ten times, and it needs four guanqian or three liang of silver.

Readers don't care about the price.These are the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucius' hometown!Comes with attributes.

Since the first year of Chenghua, the imperial court has set the imperial examination style as eight-legged essay.

From the Tongsheng Examination to the Palace Examination, only the understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is tested.And can not have their own understanding.It can only be understood according to the way of thinking of old master Zhu Xi.

If a scholar wants to be an official, he must study the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Zhu Xi.

Buying a set of Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Zhu Xi in the hometown of Confucius is a way for scholars to pray for good luck in the examination room.What is the extra money?
Chang Feng saw a bookseller knocking on a bamboo board and singing an allegro book adapted from Song Zhenzong's "Poetry on Encouraging Learning":
"Be a fool, be a fool. Don't gossip.

Let’s talk about it, rich families don’t need to buy fertile land, and there are thousands of millet in the book.

There is no need to drive high to live in peace, there is a golden house in the book.

There is no need to hate going out without a car, there are many horses in the book.

There is no need to hate a wife without a matchmaker, there is a girl Yan Ruyu in the book.

The man wants to make his life aspirations, so he hastened to buy my book! "

Chang Feng and his party got off their horses as soon as they entered the city.It is a rule for military officers to dismount when they enter Qufu City.

Chang Feng was walking while leading the horse and listening to the Allegro books, feeling amused: "You really know how to do business. It seems that if you buy their books, you will definitely be named on the gold list, in exchange for gold, beautiful women, and good horses."

The crowd came to a barracks two streets away from the Confucian Mansion.

This is the "Jinyiwei Qufu Sacrifice House of Hundred Households".

Chang Feng walked in.

There were a dozen or so fat men in flying fish suits, lazily lying on the deck chairs.Or drink tea and set up a dragon gate array, or listen to hired actors singing ditties.

There are still a few who are playing horse tags, and the fierce battle is in full swing.

The Hundred Households House is known as the nursing home in Jinyiwei.

These dozen small flags, the general flag, have served in Qufu for more than 20 years.I don't have any errands on weekdays, just serve as a guard of honor when offering sacrifices to Confucius.

Because worshiping Confucius cannot lose the ostentation of Jin Yiwei, everyone regardless of official position is given flying fish clothes.

This group of people are all full of fat, with stupid faces.

Chang Feng is very happy: If my nominal new subordinates are all smart people.I am creating a strange disaster here, don't you want to be on guard against them and tie your hands and feet?

Liu Jin shouted from the side: "The new test hundred households are here to take over! Who is in charge?"

This hundred households does not set up a hundred households, and the test hundred households are the highest officials.

An old man in his sixties, not much thinner than Fatty Xu, walked over.

The old man cupped his hands: "But Changbaihu?"

Chang Feng said politely: "It's Yang's old family. The younger generation came to take over."

Old Baihu Yang said with a smile: "When you come, I can go home to take care of the elderly. Let's do the handover first."

It took the two of them two moments to complete the handover.

Chang Feng asked: "Master Yang, half a month later will be the date of the Confucian sacrifice ceremony."

"Our brothers are as fat as a ball. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to sacrifice Confucius?"

"Besides, I see that they are so pampered, they must be weak and ruthless. They can't carry the Beidou flag, dragon head pole, dagger cloak, and leopard tail gun used in the ceremonial guards!"

Old Baihu Yang explained with a smile: "It's easy to handle. Every year we go to the Liba field in the west of the city and hire [-] healthy young people to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius for us."

"It takes a few hours to teach them how to walk in four directions and how to carry ceremonial utensils."

Fatty Xu on the side sighed, "You really save trouble."

Yang Laobaihu said: "It's a [-]-household nursing home. The [-] brothers in the home are all people who love comfort."

"No one wants to be promoted. It's a day to live an easy life."

Chang Feng smiled and said, "I see."

Yang Lao Baihu cupped his hands: "Since Chang Baihu is here, I will go back to pack my bags and go back to my hometown."

"Oh, by the way, the new hundred households have arrived in Qufu. You must first go to the Confucian Mansion to deliver a name card to Duke Yansheng."

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes, I see. I see that you are eager to return home, so I won't give you wine."

After Yang Laobaihu left, Chang Feng first gathered eighteen of his subordinates to give lectures.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "It is said that the new officials take office as three fires. But I don't intend to burn them."

"From now on, you should still eat, drink, and have fun."

"It's originally a pension office, and I'm also here to support the elderly!"

All the subordinates were relieved.

Chang Feng and others settled down first.

Then Chang Feng and Liu Jin, with [-] regiments of battalion soldiers, brought three carts of things rewarded by the imperial court to worship Confucius, and came to the gate of the Confucian mansion.

The servant of the Confucian mansion brought Chang Feng's famous post and Liu Jin's list of items into the mansion, and showed it to Duke Yansheng.

Under normal circumstances, Duke Yan Sheng would not let Chang Feng and Liu Jin enter the mansion.

Compared with Yan Shenggong, the status of Shibaihu, who worshiped Baihusuo, was too low.Yan Shenggong was too lazy to see him.

Eunuchs are incomplete people, and it is inauspicious to enter the Confucian mansion.Even if the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies came, he would be turned away.

But Chang Feng handed in the letter written by Wynn along with the name post.

After two full moments, the servant came out of the mansion: "Eunuch Liu, Lord Yansheng has already read the list. Let's hand over the things, and you can go back to your residence."

"Chang Baihu, Lord Yansheng invites you to enter the mansion."

Chang Feng hurriedly said, "Please lead the way."

The servant led Chang Feng into the Confucian mansion.If you don't enter Confucian Mansion, you don't know the size of Confucian Mansion!

The Confucian Mansion is a courtyard with nine entrances, and there are more than 460 halls, halls, pavilions and buildings alone.

The entire Confucian Mansion covers an area of ​​240 mu.

The Forbidden City in Beijing covers an area of ​​[-] mu.In other words, the upper fifth of the top of the Confucian Palace is the size of the imperial palace.

Chang Feng followed the servants through the main gate, the second gate, the screen gate, the heavy light gate, the main hall, the second hall, and the third hall, and then came to the upper room in front of the inner house.

The front room is the living room where Yan Shenggong received his relatives and clansmen.

In the front room, there were two people sitting.

On the first host seat is Kong Hongtai, the 50-year-old No. 60 generation Yansheng Gong.

Coincidentally, when the memorial ceremony for Confucius was approaching, Liu Daxia, the magistrate of Tai'an, came to send the government office sacrifice silver.Just sit at the guest seat.

Liu Daxia looks about 50 to [-] years old, with a slightly elongated face and a long beard and beard.

Chang Feng bowed down to Kong Hongtai first.

Kong Hongtai smiled and said, "You are Chang Feng mentioned in Huai En's public letter, that trial hundred household who was demoted to Qufu for offending the treacherous party?"

Kong Hongtai is a very upright person.He hates gangsters.However, although he, Yan Shenggong, has a high status, he cannot participate in political affairs.

On weekdays, he would also be able to scold treacherous officials and eunuchs in the court with his best friends.

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "It's my subordinate."

Kong Hongtai introduced him: "This is Tai'an's parent officer, Liu Daxia and Liu Zhifu."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "I met Liu Zhifu. By coincidence, I have a letter from Eunuch Huai En here."

Huai En is Liu Daxia's savior.Liu Daxia hurriedly said: "Oh? Is there a letter from my benefactor? Bring it here, I respectfully."

Chang Feng gave the letter to Liu Daxia.

After Liu Daxia finished reading it, he looked at Chang Feng with admiration: "You dare to oppose Shang Yangou and Wan Yan Wang, and protect the prince, which shows that you are a loyal person."

"When you get here, don't worry, I will take good care of you."
