Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 113
Qin Zhiyong walked into Aunt Sun's house and said with a gentle smile, "Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, just now the head of the young chief escort gave a fat hare as a gift. I'll bring it here for Sister Xi'er to taste."

Aunt Sun took the hare and said happily: "You are too polite, Zhiyong. Old man, I'm going to make lunch. Let's eat rabbit meat at noon."

When Uncle Sun met Qin Zhiyong, he was even more enthusiastic than Aunt Sun.

Qin Zhiyong said, "I'm going to visit sister Qian'er."

When he reached the door of the boudoir, Qin Zhiyong said softly, "Sister Qian'er, can I come in?"

Sun Qian said, "Brother Qin, come in."

Qin Zhiyong pushed open the door and walked in.

The burlap clothes on Sun Qian's body were already a little whitish.

She is sitting in a wheelchair and is working as a female celebrity.The wheelchair was made with Qin Zhiyong's help. It conforms to human mechanics and is more comfortable to sit on.

Sun Qian's female red is doing very well, and the finished female red embroidery can be sold to subsidize the family.

Sun Qian blushed slightly, glanced at Qin Zhiyong, and said shyly, "Brother Qin, please sit down."

Qin Zhiyong sat on the stool and said, "Sister Qian'er, give me some time, and I'll think of a way, and I will definitely heal your leg. You will definitely be able to walk like a normal person."

Sun Qian's leg disease is congenital, even with Qin Zhiyong's medical skills, there is currently no solution.

Qin Zhiyong has high martial arts skills, knowledge, and strict logical thinking. In the eyes of ordinary people, he seems to be omnipotent.That's because Qin Zhiyong's skills surpassed ordinary people's too much.

In fact, Qin Zhiyong's ability is very limited, there are too many things that he can't do, and there are too many problems that he can't solve.

The wider the knowledge, the stronger the ability, and the more problems you encounter, the more shallow and ignorant you feel.

Qin Zhiyong came here for three months and made a study plan for himself.Improving the state of mind is of course the main task, and the study of inner strength and true energy is also on the agenda.In the world of martial arts, the evolution of internal strength can be said to have reached the extreme.Inner Qi is a very valuable research project.

Qin Zhiyong only relied on a book of "Basic Internal Strength" to cultivate his inner strength.To put it bluntly, even Lin Pingzhi's inner strength and mental method should be better than Qin Zhiyong's basic inner strength.

Sun Qian lowered her head and was doing embroidery.

It is her dream to be able to stand up and walk, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. For 20 years, she was desperate and gave up.No one can heal your own legs well.

Qin Zhiyong is in a high state of mind and has profound attainments in psychology. He can understand Sun Qian's state of mind.

"To be a human being, you should have some ambition. Sister Xi'er, don't be decadent." Qin Zhiyong said, "Take a step back and say, I don't have the ability to heal your legs and feet. We can go to Kaifeng to find the miracle doctor 'Ping Yizhi'. Ask him to heal you."

The medical skills of the ancients may not be weaker than Qin Zhiyong.

Ping Yi pointed out that such a genius doctor had unfathomable medical skills.

Hua Tuo in the late Han Dynasty was able to perform craniotomy on people.

With the extremely crude medical conditions at that time, I really don't know how Hua Tuo did it.

It is suspected that the smelting technology in ancient China was low.But archaeologists have unearthed sabers from the pre-Qin period.Thousands of years apart, none of the sabers have been corroded, intact.

With the smelting technology and alloy formula of the 21st century, it is impossible for a sword to be preserved underground for thousands of years.

The wisdom of the ancestors cannot be guessed with modern thinking.It is very stupid to use the logic of modern people to measure the thinking mode and mental state of the ancestors.

If given the opportunity, Qin Zhiyong would definitely ask Ping Yizhi for medical advice.

Sun Qian said: "I have not been able to walk for 20 years, or I have never walked like a normal person. I am used to it. Brother Qin, don't talk about me. After you take the scientific examination, will you become an official?" ?”

Qin Zhiyong said: "I'm not sure if I can pass the exam. Even if I do well this time, I'm just a scholar. Although a scholar has achieved fame, he is not yet qualified to be an official. As for whether he will be an official? Let it happen." Right. I study, not just to be an official."

Juren, a Jinshi, is qualified to be an official.

Scholars, ordinary people think they are great, but among scholars, their level is still a bit low.

As a scholar, a student of Confucianism, Qin Zhiyong is proficient in Confucian classics. Back in ancient times, it would be a pity if he did not take the imperial examination.

Experience the imperial examination and add some psychological process, which is good for spiritual practice.

Whether he can be an official is up to Qin Zhiyong.

It doesn't matter if you can't be an official, because Qin Zhiyong can do other things.As long as you have the right attitude, you can do whatever you want.If he could be an official and do something for the common people, Qin Zhiyong would not refuse.After all, it is better to practice among the six doors.

Sun Qian disagreed with Qin Zhiyong's words.

She felt that Qin Zhiyong was very capable and would definitely be an official in the future, and he would still be a high-ranking official, honoring his ancestors.

Qin Zhiyong stayed at Aunt Sun's house for lunch.He ate very little, a small bowl of multigrain rice, a few chopsticks of vegetables and rabbit meat.

It's not that Qin Zhiyong has no appetite, it's that Mrs. Sun's family is really poor.If he opened his belly to eat, Qin Zhiyong might be able to eat half a month's ration of their family in one meal.

………………

Fuzhou Fucheng, Fusi Yamen, Jinyiwei Town.

"Wang Zhengyuan" from a hundred households was wearing a flying fish suit, pacing back and forth in the hall with his brows furrowed.

A general banner walked into the hall and said: "My lord, the officials have found out that the Qingcheng faction has been active in Fuzhou recently, and their target should be the Fuwei Escort. My lord, there are rumors in the world that the Lin family has a peerless sword manual. Qing The Cheng faction is probably thinking about this sword manual. Do we want to intervene?"

Fuwei Escort has a big business, and the Lin family is rich.But the Qingcheng faction is a big martial arts faction, and its power is much stronger than that of the Lin family.It is impossible for the Lin family to make the Qingcheng faction think about money, so the only thing they can do is the legendary sword manual.

Wang Zhengyuan thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Yang, our Jinyiwei's duty is to supervise the officials. We can't take care of the affairs in the Jianghu for the time being. We don't have enough manpower."

"People from various sects rely on martial arts and swordsmanship to disobey the court, and they are no different from those bandits. Let them fight. The more those guys die, the better."

Yang Zongqi said: "My lord, but the Fuwei Escort Bureau is different. The Escort Bureau is not a sect of the Jianghu. The Lin family can only be regarded as half of the Jianghu people. Do we really care about this matter?"

Wang Zhengyuan said: "It doesn't matter. Although the Lin family is not a Jianghu sect, they have deep ties with people in the Jianghu. What's more, even if we want to control it, our Jinyiwei in Fuzhou Prefecture can't do anything. Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng School Martial arts and swordsmanship is very good, I am not an opponent. Commander-in-law sent an order to send a group of people from various places to go to the capital, including our Fuzhou Prefecture. In this way, our Fusi Yamen in Fuzhou Town will have even more people Not enough. Hire people, we have to do it.”

Jin Yiwei, whether in the officialdom or among the people, is notorious.Some of these things are hearsay and slander, and some of them are true.But no matter what, Jin Yiwei's reputation really stinks.

It is not that easy for Jin Yiwei to recruit people.

Capable and knowledgeable people will not enter Jinyiwei.

Jin Yiwei looked down on the incompetent, lazy ruffian.This created a shortage of Jinyiwei.

Many people in Jinyiwei are hereditary, and some people, even generations of ancestors are Jinyiwei.However, it is too difficult to make meritorious service and get promoted in Jinyiwei.

Of course, Jinyiwei is not the smelliest yamen.

Dongchang is the most smelly yamen.

Yang Zongqi smiled wryly, and said: "Lord Baihu, the officials also know that they need to recruit people. But it is really hard to find suitable candidates. However, my subordinates have recently found a good candidate."

Wang Zhengyuan asked, "Who?"

Zongqi said, "He's a scholar named Qin Zhiyong."

Wang Zhengyuan said: "Students? Scholars are good. What our Jinyiwei lacks are scholars. In the Jinyiwei of Fuzhou Prefecture, it seems that Yang Zongqi and I are the only ones who can read. I know one. By the way, does this Qin Zhiyong know martial arts?"

Yang Zongqi said: "He probably doesn't know martial arts. I didn't find traces of martial arts training on him. His temperament is that of a scholar. But he is a bit special."

Yang Zongqi had contact with Qin Zhiyong several times.

When other people saw Jin Yiwei, even if they hadn't committed a crime, their faces would change drastically, and their hearts would be terrified.But when Qin Zhiyong learned of Yang Zongqi's identity, his expression and gaze didn't change a bit, and he was still so gentle and calm.

Zongqi Yang knows countless people. Although he doesn't understand psychology, he has a good ability to read words and demeanor.Whether Qin Zhiyong is pretending to be calm, he can tell at a glance.

Qin Zhiyong was definitely not putting on airs, but really calm and calm, with a composed demeanor.

Wang Zhengyuan said: "Find a way to recruit Qin Zhiyong."

at dusk.

Qin Zhiyong is concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

His brush calligraphy is actually pretty good, but writing is the same as practicing boxing, you have to keep improving.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the scientific examination.

Qin Zhiyong had to make a thorough preparation, so that he would be the best in the exam.

There was a knock on the door.

Qin Zhiyong came back to his senses and sensed that the person outside the house was Zongqi Yang.

open the door.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Master Yang, why do you have time to come to the humble house today? Please come to the room."

Seeing Qin Zhiyong's gentle smile, the restlessness in Yang Zongqi's heart dissipated immediately, and his mood became more comfortable.

The room Qin Zhiyong rented was so small that it could only fit a desk and a bed.The stove for cooking is also in the house.

The room is small, but very neat and clean.

Yang Zongqi saw the paper covered with regular script on the desk at a glance: "Mr. Qin, you are practicing calligraphy."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "I just reviewed my homework, now let's practice my calligraphy by the way."

When Qin Zhiyong was writing, he concentrated his energy and energy to the tip of the pen, and the words he wrote seemed to carry "magnificence".

Yang Zongqi praised: "Young Master Qin's handwriting... is really good."

Where is good?Yang Zongqi couldn't say it, but he felt good in his heart and looked comfortable.

Qin Zhiyong said: "I don't know why Mr. Yang came to find students?"

Zongqi Yang looked at Qin Zhiyong with sincerity in his eyes: "Young Master Qin, I plan to invite you to join Jinyiwei!"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Master Yang, I will take the scientific examination the day after tomorrow."

Zongqi Yang said: "Joining Jinyiwei will not delay your participation in the scientific examination."

Qin Zhiyong asked: "Master Yang, may I ask why you invited me to join Jinyiwei?"

Zongqi Yang said: "Jinyiwei is short of people. Mr. Qin, you have no prejudice against our Jinyiwei."

"Young Master Qin, you know my identity, and you just treat me like an ordinary person, which makes me very happy. Other people, who misunderstood us Jinyiwei too much, know that I am Jinyiwei, so they look at me with strange eyes. Everyone Everyone regards us Jin Yiwei as the executioner who kills without batting an eye..."

Qin Zhiyong could feel that Yang Zongqi sincerely invited him to join Jinyiwei.

A sincere person always makes it difficult for him to refuse.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyong didn't speak.Yang Zongqi continued: "In a few days, I will be transferred to the capital as a servant. At that time, Mr. Qin, you can take my place and become the Zongqi directly."

The General Banner of Jinyiwei is a seventh-rank military officer, which is at the same level as the county magistrate.But the authority of the two is very different.The county magistrate is a civil official, known as the county magistrate, in a county, almost has the supreme power.The general banner only has some rights in the Jinyiwei yamen, and of course, it also has the privilege of supervising all officials.

However, many people look down on Jin Yiwei, thinking that Jin Yiwei's murder is not a normal person.This made Jin Yiwei's social status more awkward.

Therefore, scholars will not join Jinyiwei.

It is the highest authority of the Fusi Yamen in Fuzhou Fuzhen to make Qin Zhiyong directly serve as the General Banner of Jinyiwei.If Qin Zhiyong was promoted to be a member of Jinyiwei Hundred Households, Wang Zhengyuan would not even have the right to do so.It must be reported to the Commander of Jinyiwei and approved by the imperial court.

Yang Zongqi's eyes darkened, but Qin Zhiyong was still unwilling.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Master Yang, isn't he afraid that if I don't understand martial arts, if I become the general banner, I won't be able to catch criminals, and I will miss my job?"

Yang Zongqi said: "To arrest criminals, there are school lieutenants and strong men in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. It may not be necessary for Mr. Qin to personally take action. There are sword skills and internal strength in the Yamen, and Mr. Qin can practice. To what level can you practice, you need Look at Young Master Qin's talent and fortune."

Jinyiwei is a violence monitoring agency in the imperial court, and Jinyiwei's standard weapon is the Xiuchun knife.It is not surprising that there are matching internal skills and sword techniques in the yamen of Zhenfusi.

Qin Zhiyong asked: "Joining the Zhenfusi Yamen, can I receive my salary immediately?"

Qin Zhiyong is currently penniless and busy with scientific research instead of making money.

It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero.

Zongqi Yang lifted his spirits and said, "If Mr. Qin agrees to join Jinyiwei, he can receive next month's salary in advance."

the next morning.

Qin Zhiyong came to the Yamen of Fusi, Fuzhou Town, and met Wang Zhengyuan, Lord Baihu.

Qin Zhiyong not only received a one-month salary, but also twenty-five taels of silver.He also got the Flying Fish Clothes and the Xiuchun Knife.

In this way, the day before the scientific examination, Qin Zhiyong officially joined the Zhenfu Division Yamen and became a Jinyiwei.

………………

After these days of activities in Fuzhou, the Qingcheng faction finally found out the details of Fuwei Escort Bureau.

Yu Canghai's son "Yu Renyan" immediately went down the mountain and hurried to Fuzhou Mansion.

The Qingcheng faction has planned for a long time about the Lin family's sword manual, and they are determined to win it.
