Chapter 165 Mr. Yuan's Identity
In front of the tea stall opposite the main entrance of Gu Mansion.
Gu Shun pretended to be a friend came to Zhang Yian and Mr. Yuan and said, "Is it Mr. Zhang Yian and Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Yian raised his head and said with confusion: "I am, you know me, what's the matter with me?"
"That's right. I'm the guy sent by Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu asked me to send you some books.
He said that if you want to get a good fortune, you need to read a lot of books. Some books are difficult to buy outside. The young master specially asked the prefect to get these books." Gu Shunbian said, opening the bag in his hand.
Zhang Yian looked at the neatly sized books inside and was flattered:
"How can you be so embarrassed? Yi An has not made any achievements and has always accepted Mr. Gu's favor. He is really sighing, afraid of letting Mr. Gu down."
"My young shopkeeper said that these are all prepared specifically for Mr. Zhang, but they are just some small favors that are not worth mentioning. I hope Mr. Zhang doesn't have to take it seriously." Gu Shundao.
"Please tell Mr. Gu for me that I will accept these books temporarily. After I finish reading them, I will return them to Mr. Gu immediately."
Mr. Yuan next to him looked open the bag. There were many kinds of books inside, including poems, books, Zhou rituals, rituals, university, doctrine of the mean, and other traditional Four Books and Five Classics, such as the left turn, Gongyang Zhuan, Luliang Zhuan and other spring and autumn annotations.
He picked up the ritual book on the top and found that it was all neatly copied. It was equipped with detailed explanations next to the main text. It should have been made by respected everyone, and the price must be expensive.
Among these books, he also saw two unique books, one called Xianbei Zhi and the other called the History of Giant Spirit God.
These two books should be quite unfamiliar to ordinary scholars.
After the establishment of the Daqi period, although the imperial examination continued to be held as usual, the proportion of Han people selected decreased year by year. At the same time, in order to increase the number of Xianbei people in the court and further isolate the Han people, the imperial examination will be held in the same imperial examination.
One is an exam based on the traditional Four Books and Five Classics such as poetry, scriptures, scriptures, and the other is an exam based on the history, habits, customs, and belief in Xianbei cultures such as gods.
The focus of the two exams is different. Since the Han people know very little about Xianbei culture, there are many people who fail because of the Xianbei exam every year.
The Great Qi court also hoped to use this move to let more Han people understand the Xianbei culture and gradually assimilate the Han people, thereby consolidating their rule.
These two books are reference books for the Xianbei exam. Xianbei Zhi is a historical book that tells the history of the Xianbei kings since the rise of the Daxinganling Mountains, and has continued to change dynasties and the Daqi Dynasty that established the Central Plains.
Another historical merit record of the Giant Spirit God is a book similar to the worship of gods and the cultural customs of Xianbei.
The Giant Spirit God is a god believed by the Hu people. Tuoba Hong used the martial arts of the entire clan and merged it into the Giant Spirit God. This Giant Spirit God Record is also a book compiled together back then.
These books are only available in the hands of Xianbei nobles. The Han people could not get such complete books when learning Xianbei culture.
"The Gu family really values you, and can actually help you get these books. All the books here are books that you need to read before taking the imperial examination. Especially these two books, Xianbei Zhi and the God of the Gods. If you want to be an official in Daqi, you must read and remember these two books." Mr. Yuan said.
"Thank you Mr. Yuan for your advice, Yi An remembered it."
"I didn't expect that the friend Mr. Zhang mentioned was actually the young master of the Gu family. I happened to go and visit his father. If Mr. Zhang had time, could he recommend it to me?" Mr. Yuan said again.
Zhang Yian was a little embarrassed, "To be honest, Mr. Yuan, although I have some friendship with Mr. Gu, most of them are friends outside as fun. I have never entered the Gu mansion and dare not go in and bother him at will. I only know that he is practicing martial arts with his master now and should not have many opportunities to meet recently."
Hearing Zhang Yian's words, Mr. Yuan immediately guessed the rough idea and had to say, "Is that so? I'm abrupt. If I meet next time, I'll tell me a few words."
Gu Shunze asked around the bush: "Sir, you should be a licensed merchant, judging by your outfit. I don't know where the gentleman came from, what's going on to find my shopkeeper?"
Mr. Yuan looked Gu Shun up and down, and then said, "This little brother is someone around Mr. Gu, I don't know the name of the emperor."
Gu Shun laughed in his heart. This guy has a strong sense of anti-detection. He also wanted to touch his bottom. At the same time, he said calmly: "The next surname is Zhou, and his name is Sanye. He is not considered a person around Mr. Gu, but just an ordinary servant."
"Brother Zhou is really lucky to meet. He is from Yuyang and comes from Jiangnan City. He hopes to meet Manager Gu and ask about some business matters."
Gu Shun remembered that after the first Xianbei emperor entered the Central Plains, in order to consolidate his rule and facilitate the names of the people in the Central Plains, many Xianbei surnames were simplified based on the Han surname, which was called Ding clan in history.
Among them, the royal family Tuoba family changed to the Yuan surname, which has the highest status and is also the first in the country.
In addition, the Mu family changed their surname from the Qiu Muling clan, the Liu family changed their surname from the Dugu clan, the Lu family changed their surname from the Buliugu clan, the He Lai clan, the Lou clan, the Yu clan, the Wugui clan, the Ji clan, the Ji clan, the Yu clan, the Xi clan, and the Yuchi clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yuchi clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the Yu clan, the eight major families.
These eight major families are all from Xianbei families, and were awarded a group of nine moves of each of the Giant Spirit Divine Arts.
If his godfather Tuoba Tak changed his surname, he should have a surname of Yuan.
However, this change of surname was not accepted by many Xianbei people. After the death of the late emperor, the policy of determining the surname was strongly implemented was also close to being abolished.
This man who claims to be a surname Yuan does not look like a merchant based on his conversation and dressing up. If his surname is really Yuan, he is likely to be a noble or even a royal family.
If he was really a merchant, there would definitely be caravan horses. It would be impossible for him to be alone and look so leisurely outside.
"I don't know what business is going to my shopkeeper from Jiangnan City. I heard that it's not peaceful outside now. Could it be that Mr. Yuan wants the escort agency to help transport goods? Then there is no need to find the shopkeeper. The escort agency has a manager on duty, so you can arrange escort carts and escorts for you by asking them."
Gu Shun pretended to be kind and explained, but in fact he continued to use this to continue to mess with his words.
"Thank you for your reminder, I just want to ask Manager Gu in person, but it is not convenient to say it now."
"This trip to Jiangnan, we must invite the shopkeeper of the Gu family to come out and ask him about some strategies and experiences in governing the country, and promote the stability of Jiangnan City to the territory of Daqi.
As long as I include the Gu family under my command, my influence in the court will inevitably be higher. If I achieve something and become a favorite of my father, I will definitely compete with the prince.
At present, the situation in Daqi is in danger, and the people's lives are in dire straits and rifts between Hu and Han are getting deeper and deeper. We must find ways to bridge these differences as soon as possible, alleviate the hardships of the people, suppress the increasingly rampant bandits and martial arts worlds, and continue the foundation of Daqi's country and country."
Hearing the voice of Mr. Yuan in front of him, Gu Shun was shocked.
Unexpectedly, the identity of this young master Yuan was indeed not simple as he expected. He was a prince of the Great Qi.
He came to Jiangnan City to invite his father out.
Nowadays, Jiangnan City is the most stable in Daqi, so it attracted this prince to come, hoping to win over his father to help him do something.
But he wouldn't know that the person he wanted to invite was the leader of the martial arts world who wanted to destroy Daqi with his own hands. This wave really led the wolf into the house and caused his own destruction.
The stability of Jiangnan City is because the leader of the martial arts world and the leader of the Demon Sect are in charge at the same time, which has a double buff for Jiangnan City.
Whether it is the Demon Sect or the martial arts world, you will not choose your own base camp to do things. Such unique conditions may be difficult to copy to other places.
Nowadays, there are a group of dragons entrenched in the city of Jiangnan, and the dark tide is surging. The martial arts world of the rivers and lakes, the head of the Mobei family, the demon sect, and a prince of the court, are becoming more and more lively.
