Chapter 147 Zhang Jun praises the students at the banquet
Chapter 147: Students attended the banquet and Zhang Jun praised him highly
"Come on, come on! Mr. Zhang Xiang wants to invite us to a banquet!" Shen Tang was sitting alone in the house when he suddenly heard a chaotic noise coming from outside. After a while, he saw the Suizhou official knocking on the door and coming in, "Shen Tang Jieyuan, Prime Minister Zhang is going to entertain all the students at the palace, let's go quickly..."
Shen Tang nodded, left the room, and followed the mighty flow of people towards Zhang's Mansion in the center of the city. Not long after, entering the back garden of Zhang's Mansion, there was a servant greeting a group of students, dozens of tables on Already filled with food and wine!
After announcing the state's place of origin and name, the waiter will lead everyone to their exclusive seats. Therefore, although there are many people, they are also very orderly.
After everyone sat down, after about a stick of incense, a hearty laughter came, and then they saw a tall man in purple with thick eyebrows striding over from the corridor not far away. There were no servants rushing forward and backward, only an old servant with a smile in his eyes following him.
"Everyone, please! You haven't met with Prime Minister Zhang yet!" the old servant said to the students with a chuckle.
Wow!
In an instant, everyone stood up and shouted in unison: "Let's pay homage to Prime Minister Zhang!"
Although everyone present is a proud man of heaven, in front of them is a figure who stands at the pinnacle of power! Not to mention now, even if they are on the gold list and step into the court, they must be in awe when facing such a top figure! What's more, now Zhang Jun has an army of tens of thousands at his disposal, and already possesses an awe-inspiring majesty.
Mixed in the crowd, Shen Tang looked at Zhang Jun, and couldn't help but secretly praise him! This man has a dignified appearance, and although his expression is not angry or intimidating, he is not fierce. He is indeed the pinnacle existence above the court! There is such a person. Taking charge of the army and preparing for war was truly a blessing for the Song Dynasty.
"You are all heroes of our Song Dynasty. It is my joy to be able to gather here all of you! What's more, your coming here is originally my intention to mention it to the Holy One. Therefore, you should blame me for letting you rush around for a few days. You have to endure a thousand miles of suffering!" The words were slightly humorous, but they also suddenly narrowed the distance between himself and the disciples. At least, as soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Jun with looks that were not only in awe, but also vaguely... It feels a little more close.
"Although our Song Dynasty is prosperous, it is also suffering from thorns! The barbarian countries in the north have always invaded our people of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, when the Prime Minister came to power, he strongly recommended the Northern Expedition! Now, it has finally taken place, and more than 100,000 troops of our Song Dynasty have gathered in the north. Fight fiercely with the Jin soldiers! I have no intention of winning this battle, but even if I lose, I still have to show off the majesty of my Song Dynasty. I, Zhang Jun, can be defeated, but my majesty of the Song Dynasty cannot be damaged!"
"We, the Song Dynasty, produced heroes from generation to generation, and the competition with the Jin Kingdom was not something that could be accomplished in a day. It could take as short as a few years, or as long as decades or hundreds of years. It may not be impossible! The reason why I asked you to come here is I hope you can take a look at how the soldiers of the Song Dynasty shed their blood and protected their homeland! When you step into the court one day, I hope you can remember what you saw and heard! By then, if the Kingdom of Jin is still there, stand The people who control the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty and lead the Northern Expedition here are you! If so, then I can rest in peace..."
Zhang Jun's words made all the students, including Shen Tang, excited! His patriotism made everyone admire him.
"We are waiting to pay tribute to Prime Minister Zhang!" All the students raised their glasses together and drank in one gulp, drinking in honor of the loyal and loyal pillar of the Song Dynasty in front of them.
"Everyone, please have a drink. Tomorrow, I will send you to the outside of Sizhou City to see the power of our Song army!" Zhang Jun said with a laugh.
Everyone sat down, while Zhang Jun walked past table after table with a smile. Every time he arrived at a table, he would laugh and talk a few words and drink a few drinks.
"Are you all Suizhou Juzi?" But it was Zhang Jun who came to the table where Shen Tang and others were sitting.
Everyone stood up quickly, only to see Zhang Jun wave his hand slightly, and a boy behind him directly took a chair, and Zhang Jun actually sat down next to Shen Tang.
"Not long ago, General Bian of the Zaoyang Army in Suizhou arrived. He had a banquet with me and talked about the style of Suizhou. Now that I see you all, you are indeed of extraordinary character." Zhang Jun said with a smile, "Although Suizhou is located in the northern border, the literati are not only With literary talent and character! Just like the Zaoyang army, which killed thousands of Jin soldiers and defeated an army of 20,000 in a battle at Tongbai Mountain! The first battle made the Jin Kingdom dare not face Tongbai Mountain. This battle is what I know I also look at you with admiration!"
Hearing Zhang Jun's praise, every Suizhou student felt honored. Although they did not participate in that battle, and some of them had never heard of it. But no matter what, it was such an honor to have the old man in front of him praise his hometown. ?
Everyone laughed and chatted and drank for a while. Zhang Jun turned to Shen Tang and said, "Are you Shen Tang? Suizhou Jieyuan?"
Shen Tang was slightly stunned, but was surprised that Zhang Jun actually knew his name.
"Shen Tang has met Prime Minister Zhang!" Shen Tang stood up and bowed his hands.
After letting Shen Tang sit down, Zhang Jun smiled and patted Shen Tang on the shoulder, "You're welcome. I've read your scientific research articles, especially the one about "Bamboo and Stone". I particularly liked it. I even wrote about it. Hang it in the hall and appreciate it often! The character of the bamboo and stone is amazing. You, Shen Tang, are so talented that you can surpass all the sages. Not to mention in Suizhou, even in the cultural scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River, with this article you can You can come out on top!”
Shen Tang’s praise made everyone blush!
What kind of person is Zhang Jun? He is a person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the court. There are dozens of Jieyuan. Even if he is the number one scholar, he will be on the list every three years, but such a person is hard to find! Take Zhang Jun Jun's position is that he actually wrote Shen Tang's article and hung it in his house for appreciation. What an honor this is for Shen Tang?
As for the last sentence, he outperforms all the sages and can come out on top in Jiangnan, which makes students from Yangzhou, Luzhou and other places extremely jealous. Although Yangzhou, Luzhou, and Jiankang are better, they are much inferior to Lin'an and Shaoxing in the south of the Yangtze River. If Shen Tang can defeat Jiangnan students, wouldn't they be even worse?
If Zhang Jun hadn't been present, with just this sentence, at least half of the students present would have jumped up and challenged Shen Tang to a duel!
Zhang Jun's praise made Shen Tang a little surprised. However, when he came to his senses, he just said a few words of humility and didn't say much.
Yan Yutang, who was sitting next to Shen Tang, still looked calm, but his heart was filled with anger! If he was the one who could unify the Yuan, wouldn't he be the one being praised at this moment? With the appreciation of such a big boss, Why worry about not being able to reach a high position in the future?
His mind changed rapidly, but after a moment, he suddenly stood up with a wine glass in hand, and then said something that stunned all the students.
