The “Marquis Wuwen” mansion is located in the southeast of Yujing City. It covers an area of 100 mu and the terrain is open. A pair of red lacquer stone unicorns with a height of three people at the gate, vermilion gate, shiny copper nails, copper rings, bright clothes at the door, full of vigor, sharp eyes, etc., can all show the status of Wu Wenhou.
“Marquis Wuwen” was a prominent figure in the Dagan Dynasty, surnamed Hong and given name Xuanji.
This person is not only a grand nobility, but also an extremely high-ranking official, a senior scholar in the cabinet, and a prince Taibao. He is both civil and military, capable of firing a nine-stone strong bow when he was young, and riding a large horse to kill hundreds of enemy troops as if walking in the courtyard. {One stone in the Daqian Dynasty is one hundred catties, and nine stones are equivalent to nine hundred catties}.

…..
“The sky sees what the people see, and the sky listens to the people…”
In the early morning, in the northwest corner of the Marquis of Wuwen’s mansion The sound of reading came from the small courtyard.
Hong Yi opened half of the windows and built a charcoal fire in the house. He was reading by the table, preparing for the scientific examination and trying to figure out the meaning of the scriptures.
He was wearing a green shirt, with clear features, between fifteen and sixteen years old, and his body was slightly thin.
The interior of the room is very simple. The fire pot is an iron pot, and the charcoal is also ordinary charcoal. It is not the exquisite copper pot with tripod legs used by the big households of Houmen to light the fire. “Beast charcoal” in the shape of various beasts is carved.
When he was studying, there were no bookboys by his side, and the maid was studying ink and laying paper. All this shows that Hong Yi’s status is not high in the Houfu, but he still has time to study, not the kind of servants.

“Whether you can correct the name of the dead mother depends on the Enke in the spring and the general examination in the autumn. First, you will be qualified for the exam, and then you will be awarded the Jinshi. My mother is Mrs. The mother’s grave can be brought into the ancestral tomb of the Hong family, and the spiritual seat can also be enshrined in the ancestral hall.”
Hong Yi opened a book and read two sentences, but he remembered his mother who died when he was seven years old.
Hong Yi’s mother married “Marquis Wuwen” “Before, she was a well-known talented girl in Yujing City. She was proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. She was also full of literary talent. She did not sell herself. After joining the wealthy family, her status is very low.
What’s more, when Hong Yi’s mother married into the Houmen, Marquis Wuwen already has a first wife and a second wife, and she is a concubine. Wealthy nobles and scholar-bureaucrats also exchanged concubines for fun.
Concubines were not allowed to sit down when eating, and had to stand like maids.
Hong Yi’s concubines Son, there is no right to inherit the title and family property at all. The only way out is to pass the imperial examination.
Hong Yi is also very clear in his heart that if he can pass the examination, he will not only be able to get out of this marquis and become an official, the most important thing is that you can add a “Mrs.” status to your mother.
The imperial examination is heavy in the dynasty. Once the title is on the golden list, it is possible to add three generations.
The title of “Mrs.” is not easy. There are now three ladies in the Hou Mansion. This is also a special gift from the court for the great merits of Wenwuhou Hongxuanji.
Among the common wealthy and noble families, only the first wife is a “madam”.
Among the dignitaries, the imperial court rewarded their wives as their wives, but it was a great grace, even more virtuous than adding an official or nobility.
“If I become a jinshi, if I am a jinshi, the court will add my mother as a wife. At that time, I don’t know what Mrs. Zhao’s expression looks like?”
Hong Yi muttered two words, “Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao…” There was hatred in his eyes.
Hong Yi will never forget, when he was just seven years old, when he was just sensible, the Mid-Autumn Moon-viewing banquet held in the Hou’s mansion, and when they gathered together, his father and guests Rinshi, just because his mother was right. One sentence was immediately reprimanded by Mrs. Zheng in public, “Being frivolous, not abiding by women’s morals, and not changing the habit of brothel.”
After returning home that night, her mother was so angry that her blood was stagnant, she vomited blood and hurt her body. Died a month later. When he died of anger, his mother was only twenty-five years old.
“I’m almost ready for the exam after the spring, but I still have to figure it out.”
Hung Yi thought to himself, closed the classics, opened the one Book.
The cover of this book is very new, but the paper is very old. It is obviously an old book that no one reads. Because it is not the meaning, etiquette, and strategy of the scholar’s scientific examination, but the absurd and uninhibited notes of the gods and monsters.
Scholars don’t say strange, force, chaos, god. This kind of book is not read by people preparing for scientific examinations.
But Hong Yi watched it just to prepare for the scientific examination.
Because this book is a notebook of the former prime minister Li Yan, and it writes about demons and ghosts, Taoist priests and immortals, talented and beautiful women, and female immortals and foxes.
“Although this Caotang notebook is full of stories about gods, monsters, foxes, ghosts, geniuses and beauties, female fairies, and female foxes, in fact, each of them is a fable, worthy of being the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the school of Li
“Although Li Yan is now an old man, most of the officials in the imperial court who were born in the scientific examination are his students, and the chief examiner who presides over the examination this time must also be him. People of Li’s school. Take a good look at Li Yan’s allegorical thoughts expressed here with the help of foxes and ghosts, and cater to the tastes of his disciples, and they will definitely be able to go to high school.”
“Those scholars of Zongxue are even excellent. I only know how to study hard, but I don’t know how to be human: even if your paper is brilliant and out of rhythm with the examiner’s school, it will definitely brush you down.”
Before the exam, think about the examiner. It is extremely important to write about the school, thought, and preference. Although Hong Yi is young, his heart is sharp.
“The will of God is the will of the people, so there is such an explanation.”
Hong Yi suddenly saw a story, read it carefully, and was surprised.
The story goes like this:
When a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law were sleeping at night, the wall suddenly collapsed. The daughter-in-law slept in it and supported the collapsed wall to let her mother-in-law escape. Go, get crushed. After the daughter-in-law died, the mother-in-law was very sad. So the people in the village comforted her, saying that she had a dream, dreaming that her daughter-in-law was named the God of the City God by heaven.
At that time, Li Yan was discussing this matter with a group of scholar-officials. The group of scholar-officials thought that his daughter-in-law’s filial piety was good, but the language of the gods was the wild language of the villagers.
But Li Yan defied the public opinion, saying that the daughter-in-law was conferred a god, because in the book of sages and sages, “the heaven sees the self and the people sees, the heaven listens to the self and the people listens”, the people think that the daughter-in-law has become a god, That is God’s will, then she becomes a god.
All the scholars and officials laughed at Li Yan’s too devious reading, but Li Yan said a big truth: “In fact, gods are only transformed by human thoughts. The reason why the gods and Buddhas in temples can repeatedly Appearances are due to people’s incense offerings and beliefs. Originally, there were no gods in this world, and there were many people who believed in them. When people’s thoughts gathered, gods and Buddhas were born. It is also very simple to destroy the gods and Buddhas. As long as the temples are demolished, people no longer believe in it, and they worship it with incense. Over time, it will disappear naturally.”
One of the scholars nodded and asked, “Demolish the temple of the gods and Buddhas, so that people no longer believe in it, what if the gods and Buddhas repay?””
Li Yan added: “The book of sages says that uprightness and intelligence are gods. As long as the minds of scholars are upright and strict, their thoughts will naturally be as powerful as gods. How can gods and Buddhas repay you?””
“The scholar is upright and strict, his thoughts are powerful and pure, and he is close to the sun god in Taoism. Compared with those yin gods who can’t manifest but can only rely on dreams and retribution, they are much stronger.”
All the scholars and officials heard Li Yan’s eloquent talk, and they were filled with admiration, so they asked him about the Taoist practice of cultivating the gods of the gods and gods.
Li Yan said: “The gods of yin can escape from their shells and travel, but the human eye cannot see them.” , Invisible and intangible, the soul is a mass, and can only rely on external objects to show the supernatural, while the Yang God is no different from a stranger, manifesting various dharmas, flying in the sky and hiding on the ground, immortal.”
When the scholars and officials were about to ask further questions, Li Yan said sternly: ’Scholars only talk about people’s livelihood, government affairs, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and law, and completely put aside the matters of gods and ghosts. Today is too much.”
“There are no gods and Buddhas, but are they born out of people’s thoughts and beliefs? There is such an explanation for the saying in the book, “Heaven sees itself as the people see, God listens to its own people, and God’s will sees its own people’s opinion”? Righteousness and wisdom are gods? Yin Shen Yang Shen?”
Hong Yi felt refreshing, this story seemed to open a mysterious door for him.
Bang Bang Bang!
Just as Hong Yi was thinking, suddenly the door There was a knocking sound from outside.
Someone was knocking on the door, but the sound was loud, and it was kicking with his feet.
Hong Yi frowned, got up and opened the door.
