Chapter 1210: Gubeikou Separation, Chengdu University Students
Chapter 1210: Parting at Gubeikou, students from Chengdu Prefecture
In the early morning of the next day, a mighty group of carriages set off from Chunyueju, escorted by guards at both the front and rear!
After Shen Tang and others prepared their luggage, they got on the carriage and drove out of Zhongdu City, all the way north!
After walking for three days, the carriage stopped and everyone got off the carriage and saluted Wanyan Yundi in front of them!
"Thank you for sending me brother!"
Wanyan Yundi smiled and waved his hand, "The front is Gubeikou. After you leave Gubeikou, you will enter the boundary of Beijing Road. There will naturally be people to greet you! I will send you here!"
"Tang Chen, I have given you my seal. If anything happens, you can always have someone come with the seal! You are both my sister-in-law and my brother. There is no need to be polite between you and me!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Shen Tang thanked him again.
"Okay, it's freezing in the North, please take care of yourself!"
The two parties bid farewell, and the carriages of Shen Tang and his party, escorted by the Beiwei Army, passed through Gubeikou and continued to the north! Naturally, the defenders at Gubeikou would not make things difficult. The prince saw him off, and the imperial guards escorted him. There are not many people in the Kingdom of Jin who are not discerning.
"Teacher, what do you think of this person?"
After the carriages of Shen Tang and his party disappeared, Wanyan Yundi finally looked away, and with some respect, he asked an old man behind him.
This old man's eyebrows were gray, he was dressed in Confucian clothes, but his pair of cloudy eyes showed the clarity of seeing through the world.
This old man’s name was Zheng Songxian, and he had a reputation for erudition! During the Wanyan Liang Dynasty, he served as the defense envoy of Bozhou. Later, after Wanyan Yong heard about his reputation, he summoned him to the palace and appointed him Zuo Yude to assist the prince in his studies. .
And it is precisely because of the existence of this person that Prince Wanyan Yundi has always been somewhat close to the people of Song Dynasty! When he just became the prince, Wang Shuang, the crown prince's Taibao, was very friendly with Wanyan Yong and Wanyan Yundi. When he was called the crown prince, all the Han officials were appointed to be members of the Jurchen clan.
However, this memorial was directly refuted by the prince.
Since entering the Central Plains, the status of the Han people in the Jin Kingdom's court has gradually improved, and their number has continued to expand!
The Kingdom of Jin arose between white mountains and black waters. Although it was fierce in battle, its culture was extremely weak. When they entered the Central Plains, they not only yearned for the Central Plains culture, but even reached the level of obsession and worship.
This is why their official system, etiquette, etc. all learned from the people of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, even the nobles of the Jin Kingdom communicated with each other in Chinese written language, and they were proud of it! Among the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, there were definitely not a few who admired the culture and etiquette of the Central Plains.
In addition, the people of the Central Plains are smart and simple! In addition, the Jin Kingdom occupies most of the Song Dynasty. "Using barbarians to control barbarians" is indeed an excellent strategy, and it can also appease the Song people in the north!
Therefore, the number of Song people in the Jin Kingdom's bureaucracy gradually increased! This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Jin Kingdom aristocrats, and this also caused great conflicts between the Jin Kingdom aristocrats and the Song newcomers. of opposition.
The old Jin aristocrats relied on their merits and status to hold high positions, while the Song people relied on their talent, learning and intelligence to gradually stand out and occupy more positions. In addition, some Jin people had good relations with the Song people, making the two factions nearly as powerful as each other. Almost the same.
In particular, the emperor's preference for Song officials made it difficult for the Jin nobles to suppress these Song officials.
In this process, Zheng Songxian, a great scholar who was close to the prince, naturally played a crucial role! Including this time, Wanyan Yundi and Shen Tang became sworn sworn brothers, which was actually Zheng Songxian's suggestion.
Zheng Songxian was silent for a moment and then said, "If this person is an enemy, he is invincible! However, the affection shown by His Majesty and the Prince is enough to make him feel grateful! Although he is from the Song Dynasty, he is no longer an enemy. !”
"When this person came, he was greeted by a minister carrying a luan and a chariot. When he returned, His Highness the Crown Prince personally saw him off! Such courtesy is rare in the world! What's more, with the name of a brother involved, and Princess Yongqing accompanying him, even if This person has the power to reach heaven, so our country of Jin does not need to be too afraid!"
"Hahaha..." Wanyan Yundi laughed loudly, and then shouted, "Let's drive back to the palace!"
Chengdu Mansion, outside the government office!
A dark crowd of students wearing Confucian shirts, led by Professor Kong, are waiting for the registration of names for the Autumn Palace! In previous years, the Autumn Palace was supposed to be held around mid-August, but this year, not only was there a lot of things happening in the court, Moreover, the Chengdu Prefecture had a lot of similar problems due to Shen Tang's resignation.
Therefore, the matter of Chengdu Prefecture’s autumn period was postponed to the end of August!
"The prefect is here..." Suddenly, there was a panic, and Tian Guanhua, dressed in official robes, walked out of the government office!
"I've met the Acting Magistrate!"
Professor Kong led all the students to salute!
After Tian Guanhua returned the gift, he said in plain voice, "You are all the proud students of our Chengdu Prefecture. In two days it will be autumn. I hope that this time, our Chengdu Prefecture can have more students named on the gold list!"
After a pause, he said again, "Although Lord Shen is not here now, in fact, Lord Shen had made arrangements for Qiuwei a long time ago! So, you must not let Lord Shen down!"
"Master Shen is the parent official of my Chengdu Mansion, and he was the last number one scholar. This time, if we can win the number one scholar again into the hands of our Chengdu Mansion, this can be regarded as Master Shen's achievement!"
"Please don't worry, sir!"
A student stepped forward and said, "In this scientific examination, I, Xiao Guoliang, will definitely not disappoint Mr. Shen!"
"Last year, when I met you for the first time, Master Shen warned you: Don't study at midnight! Your work will only be exposed to the cold! This year, we have also studied hard! The reason why Master Shen left office this time is Isn't it because Master Shen has no foundation in the court and no supporters?
Among the other high-ranking officials, there are many who are not disciples and old officials! Therefore, it is rare for anyone in the court to speak for Lord Shen."
"Although I, Xiao Guoliang, am not talented, I am willing to step into the court and be Lord Shen's lackey!"
"We are also willing to serve as the vanguard of Lord Shen's army!"
All the students shouted loudly.
Most of the students in the private schools come from poor families, and the imperial examination is the only way for them to advance! Compared with the officialdom, under the guidance of Professor Kong, the students in the private schools are relatively simple! It is for this reason , Shen Tang’s work for the country and the people moved them even more.
Tian Guanhua nodded and did not speak again. It is not unexpected that Shen Tang has such a high prestige among these students! During this period, although Shen Tang did not go to the Fu School again, his support for the Fu School has never been greater. Reduced.
