Chapter 306 Mid-Autumn Festival! Confucian and Taoist event! Ten thousand people break through the realm!

“mother!”

“daughter!”

After the mother and daughter met and exchanged some greetings, Xue’s mother then remembered to bring Xue Pan, Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin to meet Jia Cong.

“I’ve met the Marquis!”

“We are all family, Madam, please don’t be too polite.”

“This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the mansion first.”

Jia Cong quickly used his magical power to help Xue’s mother up.

Then he led everyone into the mansion.

The middle door opened and Jia Cong personally greeted them at the door.

It was already a great honor. Even if Emperor Shunde came to visit, Jia Cong could only greet him in the front yard.

This is still because of the old friendship between Emperor Shunde and me.

Instead of going to the flower hall for receiving guests, he led them directly to Tongxi Hall in the main courtyard.

Under the cover of the great formation, the moment I entered the mansion, I felt refreshed.

Not to mention in Tongxi Hall.

“These two are Brother Ke and Sister Baoqin from the second branch of the Xue family, right?”

After Yuanyang asked the maids to bring tea and snacks, she chatted with Xue’s mother for a while.

Only then did Jia Cong look at the two people who had come to the capital with Xue’s mother and Xue Pan.

“Don’t dare to take it! Don’t dare to take it!”

“Xue Ke greets the Marquis!”

Upon hearing this, Xue Ke hurriedly took his sister Xue Baoqin to pay his respects to Jia Cong in panic.

Although the second branch of the Xue family was not a royal merchant family like the first branch, it also took on tasks at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Collect rare treasures from all over the world for the royal family.

But Xue Ke had never seen a great figure like Jia Cong.

The young man, who is usually quite steady and mature, seemed a little overwhelmed after receiving the gift.

“Baochai’s second uncle had helped run the family’s salt business for the past two years, but he and her second aunt passed away at the beginning of the year, leaving these two children with a miserable life.”

“I felt sorry for them, so I brought them with me to Beijing this time.”

“Speaking of which, the reason for going to Beijing this time is related to Baoqin.”

Seeing this, Xue’s mother took over the conversation.

When talking about their life stories, he couldn’t help but wipe the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

“The dead cannot be brought back to life, madam, please accept my condolences.”

Jia Cong glanced at Baochai and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

It goes without saying that important figures like the second branch of the Xue family are also the focus of attention of local ghosts and gods.

Common illnesses can be secretly treated by ghosts and gods.

If the local ghosts and gods have limited abilities and are unable to treat the situation, they will report it to the higher authorities.

But Jia Cong had never heard even a word of news.

It goes without saying that the news was intercepted when it reached Baochai.

Life and death, fortune and disaster, cause and effect will have their consequences!
The magnificent sound of enfeoffment of ghosts and gods has echoed in my ears many times.

Baochai is still the same Baochai.

To outsiders, he is cold and indifferent!

But this indifference came entirely from her wholehearted devotion to Jia Cong.

At the beginning of the year, Jia Cong was fighting fiercely with the Kong family and the Westerners.

Interfering in the life and death of others without authorization, especially changing the fate of people who have no merit, is undoubtedly disrupting the cause and effect.

No one knows when and how it will be compensated.

“By the way, I heard that Madam is coming to the capital this time. Is it because Brother Pan is going to have a happy event?”

“Yes, I was just trying to come up with an idea for the Marquis.”

“Just two months ago, Prince Zhongzhi sent someone to come and mediate with Pan’er, saying that the young princess of the palace was about to reach the age of marriage and wanted to find a husband.”

“How much does the Xue family weigh? How could I not know it?”

“I couldn’t make up my mind for the moment, so I came to the capital to ask for your advice, Lord Marquis.”

Prince Zhongzhi is a leisurely prince of the royal family. He usually behaves in a low-key manner. Except for grand court meetings, few people in the court can see him.

It is said that he likes to tend to flowers and plants and loves fishing.

Another point is that he is the only younger brother of Emperor Shunde.

After Emperor Shunde ascended the throne, he was rewarded many times.

According to the secret investigation by the ghosts and gods ordered by Jia Cong, Princess De’an of the loyal and upright Prince Qin’s Mansion has a gentle personality.

It is definitely a good marriage, much better than the one in the original novel with Xia Jingui, the daughter of an imperial merchant who has a hot-tempered and domineering personality.

The reason why Xue’s mother was really undecided was that she didn’t know the current relationship between Jia Cong and the court.

I’m just afraid of affecting Jia Cong’s grand plan.

“This should be your Majesty’s idea.”

Jia Cong knew the whole story without having to think about it.

He laughed in surprise and said, “It is also a good match. I heard from my second sister that Princess De’an is also outstanding in talent among the many princesses in the royal family.”

“It’s just that Brother Pan needs to control his temper in the future.”

“Don’t worry, my Lord. Xue Pan was too naughty in the past. He will definitely change his ways in the future.”

Seeing this, Xue Pan quickly stood up and made a promise.

“That’s good.”

Jia Cong nodded: “Although the Prince Zhongzhi’s Mansion has sent people to negotiate, we can’t let them take the initiative in matchmaking again.”

“How about this, ma’am? Tomorrow I will ask Uncle Lin to find an auspicious day to come and propose marriage.”

“Then Brother Pan should first fill a vacancy in the Beijing camp as a lieutenant general. You can’t just marry someone like this.”

Xue Pan’s cavalry commander was just a military official without real power, which was indeed not worthy of mention among the royal family members.

“Sister Bao, please have someone buy a three-courtyard house from the capital for Brother Pan. It will be our gift to Brother Pan.”

“How dare I trouble you to spend money, my Lord? It is thanks to you that Pan’er found this good marriage.”

“He was also offered a job in Beijing. This…”

Seeing this, Xue’s mother quickly stood up and said.

“It doesn’t matter. Brother Pan is getting married, and Sister Bao and I have to express our gratitude.”

Jia Cong motioned for Xue’s mother to sit down, and then continued, “What did you say about Sister Baoqin just now?”

Xue Baoqin was extremely beautiful, in no way inferior to Baochai, who had transformed into a dragon and was very graceful and elegant.

Ranked at the top of the Golden Hairpin’s second volume.

“This issue……”

It was not glorious for Xue’s mother to mention this matter, so after pondering for a long time, she still didn’t know how to start the conversation.

In the end, it was Baochai who spoke up to explain.

“Sister Baoqin was once engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin from the Imperial Academy. Things were fine in the first few years, and the two families often exchanged letters.”

“It wasn’t until the Xue family’s situation deteriorated a few years ago that the Mei family’s attitude turned cold.”

“I once asked Butler Wen to secretly investigate. In those years, the Mei family had a lot of contact with the family of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works in Beijing.”

Baochai spoke tactfully, but Jia Cong understood her meaning.

It was simply that Mei Hanlin saw that the Xue family was getting worse and worse, and he wanted to break off the engagement and marry someone else.

When Jia Cong rose to power, he contacted the second branch of the Xue family again.

“He is just a person who curries favor with the powerful!”

Jia Cong chuckled and said, “Sister Bao, have someone submit a letter to His Majesty in my name tomorrow.”

“Myanmar has just been settled, and we are in need of personnel. The Northern and Southern Protectorates are each short of a clerk.”

“Let the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works and the man surnamed Mei go out of the capital to fill the vacancy.”

“it is good!”

Baochai responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Xue Baoqin’s thoughts suddenly became complicated.

It is certain that Mei Hanlin’s son is not a good match.

However, in the current ethical and moral context, it was a taboo for a woman to break off an engagement, which would ruin her reputation.

However, no one expected that this thorny issue would be resolved so violently by Jia Cong with just a few words.

In the past, officials who committed crimes were usually exiled to small cities in the south.

From Hanlin to the seventh-rank clerk in the Burma Protectorate, seemingly on the same level, it was tantamount to exile.

How can I care about the engagement? …

The Xue family’s move to Beijing just gave the people of Beijing more topics to talk about after dinner.

In addition to the fact that the powerful people in Shenjing have more calculations in their minds.

It never caused any more waves.

For the many common people in Shenjing City and the scholars who gathered there.

What is really important is the lecture given by Bansheng at Dongli Academy on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For this grand event.

Emperor Shunde, who was the president of Dongli Academy, also issued an edict to cancel the Mid-Autumn Hunting this year.

At that time, he will lead all the officials and nobles in the capital to Dongli Academy to attend lectures.

As the days passed, more and more scholars gathered in the capital.

They are all scholars and they value elegance.

Even if there are occasional disputes, most of them remain in words.

If hundreds of thousands of warriors were to gather together, I’m afraid we wouldn’t know how much trouble they would cause.

Finally, after countless people’s anticipation.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming!

Today, the Shenjing City deliberately lifted the curfew two hours in advance.

It’s still dark and the city gates are open!

The scholars living in the city hurried out of the city.

The people from the Wucheng Bingmasi prepared a large number of torches and other lighting equipment overnight.

There is a lot of traffic, but even more of them are scholars living in farmers’ homes in the surrounding areas outside the city.

Looking down from the air, the crowds on the ground gathered into long lines.

Many people even waited outside Dongli Academy early last night.

“Brother Zhou, it’s been three years since we last met in Jiangxi. I hope you are doing well!”

“Hahaha, I knew Brother Li would come this time too.”

“I have been looking for it in the city many times before but found nothing. I didn’t expect to meet it here. It’s really fate!”

“Marquis Jing’an has cut off a semi-saint Dharmakaya and is giving public lectures. How could I miss such an opportunity?”

“That’s right, that’s right. If you can comprehend something from it, you can at least become a great scholar.”

Along the way, many scholars walked together and even met many old friends.

The atmosphere is warm, comparable to the New Year’s Day.

More than 300,000 students is far beyond what Dongli Academy can afford.

Therefore, the masters of the academy had leveled the land outside the academy very early on.

Half of the soldiers in the Beijing camp were dispatched to maintain order.

Lead the scholars into the divided areas and divide them up.

This is to prevent too many scholars from being crowded together and causing chaos, making it difficult to deal with any unexpected situations in a timely manner.

Looking around, the whole mountain and field are filled with scholars dressed in Confucian clothes.

Upon seeing this, the great scholars and teachers of Dongli Academy also displayed their skills and stood in mid-air.

Further up are the fourth level ghosts and gods under Jia Cong’s command.

Black and White Impermanence, the Two Generals in Shackles, General Gan Liu, and the Four Seasons Generals!
Master, the fourth level ghost god, sat cross-legged in the sky with a cold expression.

Although it did not emit any momentum, it was enough to shock everyone!

This caused countless scholars to whisper about it.

“Is this the expert under Marquis Jing’an’s command?”

“Ten great masters of the fourth level of Yin God who are comparable to great scholars, how terrifying!”

“I’ve heard that Marquis Jing’an has many experts under his command. Not to mention the fourth realm, there are also many people in the legendary fifth realm.”

“Let’s not talk about these masters. Just the dozens of great scholars teaching in Dongli Academy, which academy in the world can compare with them?”

“I heard that there are great scholars giving lectures every month.”

“If I am lucky enough to study at Dongli Academy, I will have no regrets in my life!”

Until the morning, when the sun rises.

“His Majesty is here!”

A shout was heard from afar, and Emperor Shunde and all the officials and nobles were traveling light today.

He only brought two thousand Dragon Guards as guards.

The most important protective force is the seemingly inconspicuous Ziweisi worshiper behind him.

“See Your Majesty!”

Upon hearing this, many scholars hurriedly greeted him.

Although the voices were not uniform, they formed a sound like a tsunami that lasted for a long time.

He walked all the way to the front of the colorful tent built specifically for Emperor Shunde, then turned around to look at the many scholars.

A god-refining priest from the Ziwei Division behind him used his magical powers to make Emperor Shunde’s voice majestic and loud.

“I have heard that if a country wants to prosper, it must select talented people and make use of virtuous people.”

“Marquis Jing’an once told me that the future of the country lies in the youth!”

“It is a great honor to meet the pillars of our future Daqian here today…”

“Today is the day when Marquis Jing’an is giving a public lecture. I cannot do something that would take away the show’s influence.”

“Students, please wait and witness this grand event in person.”

This brief speech directly pushed the atmosphere on the scene to its first climax!
Many scholars were excited when they heard this.

Another half hour passed like this.

“Buzz!”

Behind the Dongli Academy, a golden aura rose into the sky.

It was like a huge, shining sun, even overshadowing the sun in the sky.

But the literary spirit shining on many students does not feel hot or overbearing.

Instead, it gives people an extremely cool and comfortable feeling.

Even the scorching summer heat was dispelled.

“coming!”

“This… the spirit of literature shines brightly, benefiting three hundred thousand students!”

“Marquis Guangwen, the most sincere and clear-minded, is this the power of a semi-saint?”

“Enlightened!”

“I finally got it!”

“Hahaha, that’s it!”

“To be sincere in one’s intentions is to not deceive oneself, to hate bad smells and to love beautiful things. This is called being modest. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful when he is alone.”

Under the influence of literary spirit, one not only feels physically comfortable, but also has a feeling of spiritual excitement, inner peace, and active mind.

I feel that the meaning of the scriptures that are usually difficult to understand can be easily understood at this moment with a little thought.

Even if there was no Semi-Saint giving lectures, the benefit of the literary atmosphere alone would be enough to make more than 300,000 students feel that their trip was worthwhile.

In just a short moment, at least tens of thousands of scholars broke through at the same time!
Some of them gave birth to the seeds of literary energy and broke into the first realm!
Some literary talents gathered together and broke into the second realm!

There were more than twenty top Confucian scholars of the second realm who suddenly attained enlightenment and became great Confucian scholars.

This is the power of Wenhou’s Dharma body that is cut out with the “rules of Confucianism and Taoism”.

Born to be the “God of Confucianism and Taoism”!
It is not only reflected in the strength of the fifth realm, the late semi-saint.

It also represents that in this world, when it comes to the control and compliance with Confucian and Taoist rules, no one can compare to Jia Cong’s Dharma body of Wenhou.

This scene of thousands of people breaking through at the same time is extremely rare in the world.

……

“Humility is the foundation of all good, arrogance is the root of all evil.”

“He who plants a tree must cultivate its roots, and he who cultivates virtue must cultivate its heart.”

“Also, if you want to know pain, you must have felt the pain yourself before you know it.”

“Knowing but not acting is just unknown.”

After a moment, a clear voice sounded.

Above the sky, golden literary energy surges.

In the center of the literary energy, Wenhou’s Dharma body finally appeared.

He looked 70% similar to Jia Cong, and he first nodded slightly to Emperor Shunde.

Then let’s start the lecture directly!
