"Brother, the results are officially released. Our college has fifty-one students, and thirty-two have been admitted. Songyang Academy has sixty students, and only thirteen have been admitted. This time they are in great disgrace."
Jiang Jing came in excitedly and told the good news.
Li Yan also smiled and was very happy: "So, Songyang Academy has grabbed 13 places, and its performance has been seriously abnormal. Not bad!"
Jiang Jing smiled and said: "If Songyang Academy hadn't performed abnormally, I'm afraid that other academies in the capital wouldn't have been able to get any quota. This time, the other academies are praising my brother, which means they have formed a rivalry with Songyang Academy."
Li Yan didn't care: "We just need to run the school well. Don't pay attention to this nonsense."
Jiang Jing was very dissatisfied with Songyang Academy. He originally wanted to go to the Eighth College to study, but he was put off by the high tuition fees and was unwilling to make the old man Jiang who supported him to study harder. Now that he has the salary from the academy, his life is suddenly better.
He became more excited, and even more excited to see the opportunity for growth: "After this battle, our college has become famous in the capital and can expand its student base."
Li Yan warned: "The prerequisite for expanding the student pool is to have enough teachers. After the new year, the first step the academy will take is to recruit more Tai students as teachers."
"But one thing to keep in mind is that if you study well, you may not be able to teach. I was not very satisfied with the previous teachers. They immersed themselves in studying all day long. I understand how they want to be admitted to the Jinshi. But since they have obtained the academic qualifications
We should also pay attention to students when it comes to salary."
"Next, those who are perfunctory will be dismissed, eliminated and screened. After suitable training is obtained, the source of students will be expanded."
Jiang Jing nodded heavily and said with some reluctance: "Understood! It seems that my brother has decided to leave the capital after the new year?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "My father has gone north to Daming Mansion, and I would like to take this opportunity to go out for a walk. Maybe I can open a few more academies outside. I will leave the capital to you."
Jiang Jing said solemnly: "Brother, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to our trust!"
Li Yan also intends to train the students of the first phase of Sui'an. This group of people already have their own strengths. Now he will lead them to a broader future. Of course, they must also be given a grander stage for them to display their talents.
After Jiang Jing left, he was immersed in writing the teaching materials for the next stage. Suddenly, his ears moved and he heard a cat jumping in from outside.
It's not Xiao Hei, but he has the aura of a bronze medal for beast control. Although Li Yan doesn't know that this is one of the Five Tiger Generals, he also knows that Xiao Hei may have gained something.
Sure enough, the cat trotted in and put down the scroll in its mouth.
Li Yan unfolded it and found that he had drawn a lake first, with the moon hanging in the sky. There were several people wearing servant clothes on the edge of the lake, as if they were waiting for something. Xiao Hei squatted on the other side and watched them.
Don't worry about the location, Jinmingchi is already written crookedly next to it.
"This efficiency puts the Song Dynasty to shame!"
Li Yan stood up happily, thought for a while, took out the secluded armor from the box and put it on.
After more than half an hour, he arrived outside Jinming Pond. The sky had darkened and night had fallen again.
In Bianjing, Jinming Pool is also a landmark building, because after each imperial examination, the Jinshi would ride horses and parade through the streets with flowers, from Donghua Gate to Jinming Pool in the west of the city, to participate in the Qionglin Banquet.
This pool is neither big nor small. When viewed from a high altitude, it is a relatively regular square. Because it is winter, a layer of ice has already formed on the lake.
Xiao Hei was sliding around on the ice and had a lot of fun. He sensed that there was a creature approaching, so he stopped immediately and put on a serious look. After he found out that it was Li Yan, he relaxed again and slid for a few more seconds.
Then he waved his paw in this direction.
Li Yan laughed. This cat still cares about maintaining dignity in front of his men. At the same time, he sensed its thoughts and was confirmed: "The meaning of the painting is that there will be eunuchs trading here tonight..."
He put the Youyou Armor on his legs, and his body suddenly became insubstantial again and floated into the lake.
Xiao Hei returned to the small hall on the island in the middle of the lake, and watched the wind by the water. His fur gradually turned pure black. While absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his body, his body also merged with the darkness, as if he had become invisible.
One person and one cat waited patiently. Half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came over.
"He is really Tong Guan's godson."
When the visitor got off his horse and arrived at Jinming Pond, Li Yan glanced at him and knew he had found the right target this time.
Tong Guan's style is very different from that of ordinary eunuchs. Not only does he have a powerful appearance and a voice as loud as a bell, he also has a beard. From the appearance alone, he has nothing to do with eunuchs.
What is good above will be imitated below. Tong Guan's godsons also like to work hard and improve their martial arts. As the "Zuo Ming" who and Dong Yunzi personally bloodbathed six mansions, this is very clear.
Therefore, unless there is a very small chance that there happens to be a group of internal servants who love martial arts in the palace, these five burly eunuchs who appear here must be visiting Tong Guan's grave during festivals.
The five godsons stood by the pool and began to wait silently.
The cold wind howled and blew.
Li Yan felt that if he floated out like this, one or two Liu Guangshi might appear.
According to the news he heard in the past few days, the future ZTE Fourth General was already showing signs of going crazy after being frightened.
Compared to He Lan Minzhi, who revealed the shocking secret that forced the former crown princess to death, but was not frightened to madness, but was driven mad by force, this general and queen was so careless, Li Yan shook his head even more.
Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of horse hooves came again.
But this time the direction is different.
Tong Guan's five godsons came from the direction of the inner city, while those who came at this time came from the direction outside Bianjing.
Three fast horses arrived. The rider covered himself with a hood and turned over, but did not come over directly. He still stood vigilantly beside the horses, as if he was ready to leave at any time.
Tong Guan's godson showed disdain when he saw it, and said in a slightly sharp tone: "Since you don't even have the courage, why are you talking about it?"
The leader replied coldly: "Courage is not for showing off your strength. Have you brought the proof for what we want?"
When the sound of voices reached his ears, Li Yan's brows moved: "This accent is from Longyou..."
Tong Guan's godson looked at their horses and was very dissatisfied: "You haven't even brought any money, and you still want to see our certificates? Don't you know that this thing is very important, and there can be more than one group of buyers?"
The person with the Longyou accent shook his head, but there was conviction in his tone: "No need to lie, if Tong Douzhi can be sold to others after his death, you will not contact us. This thing is indeed important, but the person who gets it will also kill him."
You're going to silence yourself, aren't you?"
Tong Guan's godsons suddenly changed their expressions.
Tong Guan actually had seven mansions outside the palace, which were filled with godsons. As a result, six of them were massacred. It is said that the murderer was the Wuyou Cave thief leader Wuwozi, but it is no longer important who he is, because Tong Guan was also buried.
In the Wuyou Cave, with no corpse left, they immediately had no support, and the secret in their hands suddenly became a hot potato.
If they were not forced to do anything, they would not make a deal with this group of people. Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative, Tong Guangqian's son discussed a few words in a low voice, but still took out a thin booklet from his arms: "This is the book that really determines the Wang family.
Some corruption charges."
The man with the Longyou accent made a gesture, and the person behind him immediately stepped forward to take the booklet. After looking through it carefully, he took out a thick stack of paper from his waist: "Cash money is inconvenient to carry. This is an exchange for ten thousand guan."
son."
Tong Guan's godson got the jiaozi. After looking at it carefully, he showed a look of satisfaction: "So you used this thing to trade...that's good! We will bring more brochures next time, and you should also prepare more jiaozi."
!”
The person with the Longyou accent paused and said, "Can't you do it all at once? I understand that going to the country can provide a lot of money!"
Tong Guangqian's son chuckled and regained the initiative: "We can survive until now because we are not greedy and take our time time and time again. This is not negotiable. Let's say goodbye!"
Seeing them turn around and leave, the man with the Longyou accent didn't stop at all. He also got on his horse and rode away.
The two parties walked away separately, and then a figure in white floated out of the Jinming Pond, and a big black cat walked out of the darkness.
"This star really wants to retire"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "No wonder we have to meet in such an open place as Jinmingchi. It turns out that he is a spy from Xixia. In order to prevent an ambush around... was he sent by Li Qianshun?"
Xixia will have a very familiar era name this year, Zhenguan.
The ruler corresponding to this era name is Li Qianshun, the fourth emperor of Xixia. This man is a very accomplished monarch of Xixia, or it can be said that he is the most accomplished king of Xixia.
He ascended the throne when he was three years old, and his mother-party ruled the country until he was sixteen years old, that is, last year, when the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang betrayed her relatives and was poisoned by envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom, so that Li Qianshun could take charge of the throne.
After taking office, he rectified the administration of officials, reduced taxes, focused on farming and mulberry cultivation, and built water conservancy projects. Under his hard work, Xixia, which was almost destroyed, gradually revived and became politically clear. Then he seized the opportunity, first allied with the Liao Dynasty to invade the Song Dynasty, and recovered part of the land.
They joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. They took advantage of both sides and took advantage of the opportunity to seize more than a thousand miles of land west of Hexi. Since then, Xixia has formed an unprecedentedly vast territory.
Originally, the three kingdoms were all in ruins, especially when Song Huizong was born in the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Tianzuo was born in the Liao Kingdom. Compared with these two elites, Li Qianshun was simply a man descended from heaven in Xixia. In fact, under his Under the rule of Xixia, Xixia did indeed usher in a turning point. While the Song and Liao Dynasties were tragically destroyed, the Great White Kingdom became prosperous, and the name Zhenguan was not wrong at all.
Of course, these are historical developments. The current situation is that this is the first year that Li Qianshun ascended the throne.
The seventeen-year-old new emperor was not only faced with the foundation of the country. Before the Song Dynasty, he also caught the Xixia Kuanghammer and occupied the land one after another, which could be described as internal and external troubles.
Not to mention a prosperous age, this pace is leading to the destruction of the country.
Therefore, the purpose of this group of Xixia spies coming here is also very clear. They know from some source the existence of the crimes of the military general family, and they want to do everything possible to get it.
A map of the base area appeared in Li Yan's mind. After thinking about the situation in Xixia and even the Liao Kingdom, he raised his lips slightly:
"It seems that Gao Qiu wants the Imperial City Secretary to leave the capital. It is really possible. Qingtian is becoming more and more powerful, and the civil servants are going to jump completely!"
