On the official road, in the incense car, the pretty girl asked through the window, this is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Chen Ke laughed when he heard this and said: "The twelve peaks of Wushan are covered with heavy clouds and mist, and students are falling from the sky!"
Unexpectedly, he was so right. The girl's eyes lit up and she laughed playfully: "Break the pomegranate, how many sour seeds are there in the red door?"
"Bite open the ginkgo, and there is a big benevolence in the white clothes!" Chen Ke responded with a smile, 'big benevolence' means 'adult'.
The girl's eyes were brighter. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of her brother coming over. She couldn't help but smile and said: "A pair of horses are riding side by side, one is a scholar and the other is an official. Being an official is a scholar's job. Be a scholar first and then become an official.
;"
Chen Ke smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say the second line, he just pointed at the carriage.
"Haha, Brother Zhongfang, this is my youngest sister Ah Xun." Seeing that he didn't confront him, Wang Yu laughed and said, "A Xun, you still haven't apologized to Bachelor Chen."
Unexpectedly, Wang Hao's pretty face turned red and she said, "It's also Bachelor Chen who wants to apologize. He's not serious."
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, but Chen Ke smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I really don't have the right match for the occasion. I'm sorry for offending you."
"A bachelor's degree is eight times higher," Wang Xun said with a gentle salute: "My little lady has accepted it today." A pair of eyes looked at him with a smile, which made Chen Ke shudder.
While talking and laughing, the car entered Bianjing City and drove into the house rented by Chen Ke for the Wang family. Wang Yu saw his mother getting out of the car with the support of his sister, and suddenly said: "I understand, it turns out that Brother Zhong Fang
It’s the second couplet.”
Everyone was curious: "What kind of second line is it?"
Wang Yu smiled and shook his head silently. When Chen Ke and his mother were both not present, he smiled and said: "Two women are sitting in the same car, one daughter and one mother. It is the daughter who takes care of the mother. The daughter first and then the mother.
mother."
Everyone was sweating profusely...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Chen Ke returned home, it was already dusk. The Japanese girl helped him change his clothes and reported in a soft voice that someone from the martial arts academy had been waiting in the front yard.
Chen Ke came out to meet each other through a screen. He saw two officials, one civil and one military, in the hall. The military officer was tall, with a beard on his face, about forty years old, walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. The civil servant was about thirty years old.
, born fair and pure, no matter how the military officer turned around, he still remained calm.
Chen Ke had already met with the teachers of the martial arts academy at Di Qing's house and knew that the military attaché was named Guo Han and the civil servant was named Su Jin, both of whom were Di Qing's old subordinates. Later, Marshal Di founded the martial arts academy, and they were in charge of academic affairs.
One is in charge of general affairs. He is the main person in charge of the martial arts academy.
After observing the two of them for a while behind the screen, Chen Ke strode out, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."
Su Jin quickly stood up and saluted, but Guo Han seemed to have waited too long and was a little angry. He just cupped his fists and said in a loud voice: "You are an adult, so we should wait."
"My lord, please forgive me," Su Jin glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "Lao Guo is a very good person, but his mouth is too bad."
"Don't worry, I had dealings with Brother Guo when I followed Marshal Di to the south," Chen Ke laughed and said, "We even drank at that time."
Guo Han was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said: "I'm sorry, sir, I was in a hurry."
"It's getting dark, so there's no need to worry for a moment." Chen Ke held his arm affectionately and said, "Let's go, let's drink and talk."
The chef at the house had already laid out the food and wine, and he pulled the two of them to the table. After a few drinks to warm up, Chen Ke asked, "What do you two want?"
"Alas, my old Guo is a straight man. Don't take it off, sir." Guo Han and Su Jin looked at each other, and the former said: "When we met last time, sir, you told us that the martial arts academy will be moved back to Bianjing... This is really not true.
What a good thing."
"How?" Chen Ke asked.
"The water in Bianjing City is too deep. How many people want to crush us!" Guo Han said in a dull voice: "I have followed the marshal back to Beijing for more than a month. The teachers' salaries and the students' food are all gone. Bian
The capital city said it was Nanjing who sent people to Nanjing, but they also said that we had already moved and had nothing to do with them anymore."
"Also, today we went to the Privy Council to ask for a school building, but they said that the Wuchengwang Temple has been used for other purposes and asked us to find another place." Guo Han became more and more angry as he spoke: "Where can we find a place? This is unintentional.
Do you want us to break up?"
"Calm down, don't be angry." Chen Ke poured wine for him and said, "What is the purpose of King Wucheng Temple now?"
"It's empty." Guo Han said angrily: "This is so irritating! I asked them what it was used for, but they didn't tell me. In fact, they would rather leave it empty than let us use it."
"The main thing is that we have been living in the Marshal's house for more than a month," Su Jin said at this time: "The Marshal's family is not well-off, and I am really embarrassed to live and eat for nothing."
"Let's move tomorrow." Chen Ke thought about it and said.
"Where to move?" The two of them were stunned.
"Wuchengwang Temple." Chen Ke said matter-of-factly: "Since it's still empty, let's use it."
"But the Privy Council won't use it."
"This is not a problem for you to worry about." Chen Ke said lightly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Privy Council."
"How about we wait until you come back and then we move?"
"No, move me first and then go," Chen Ke said with a smile: "The last thing I want to do is ask for help. I just want to inform them."
"Oh..." Guo Han was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "How happy! All the rest of the day has gone smoothly. I, Mr. Guo, like men like you!"
"It's just that offending the Privy Council won't do much good, right?" Su Jin said worriedly.
"Well, the newly appointed privy envoy Zeng Xianggong is also a gentleman, and he is very concerned about the military." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "You must have not seen him, otherwise we would not be in this situation."
"How can we, a small official, meet the Prime Minister?" Su Jin said with a bitter smile.
"Isn't it settled now? Let's wait for my good news." Chen Ke said with a smile: "No more, let's drink and talk about the arrangements for starting classes."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Su Jin and Guo Han led the teachers and students to occupy a place at the Wuchengwang Temple, while Chen Ke came to the Da Nei Privy Council and submitted a name card asking to see the Prime Minister.
Zeng Gongliang still valued Chen Ke very much, and he quickly received him. He even got up from behind the big case, sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Zhong Fang, you have to be busy preparing for the wedding. How come you have time to come to me?"
here?"
"Because there are more important things that I need to worry about," Chen Ke looked at Zeng Gongliang and said straight to the point: "My lord, why do you want to put the martial arts academy to death?"
"How do you say that?" Zeng Gongliang was stunned.
Chen Ke then made a solid complaint to him.
"Is this true?" Zeng Gongliang couldn't believe it, and ordered the doctor who was in charge of Gou's inspection room to be replaced... The Privy Council controlled the military and state affairs, and had twelve rooms, including the north room, the Hexi room, the branch room, and the Beijing room.
The review room, the Guangxi room, the military registration room, the militia room, the official room, the zhizao room, the stable room, the petty official room, etc. Among them, the review room is in charge of training soldiers, etc., because in the third year of Qingli, when the martial arts academy was first established,
It is managed by this department, so the Royal Martial Arts Academy three years ago was also placed under this department 'as a rule'.
It can be seen that the imperial court paid little attention to martial arts.
After a while, the doctor came, and Zeng Gongliang asked him if it was true.
In front of the victim, the doctor could not deny it, but he said plausibly: "Master Chen, please forgive me, but we have nothing to do. The imperial court has been unable to make ends meet for many years, and the Political Affairs Hall has asked all ministries to cut all unnecessary expenses. Our Privy Council already occupies the majority, so naturally we are under tight pressure.
Staring..." After a pause, he said: "So we have to find ways to reduce it. The martial arts academy cannot fight, and it cannot provide generals. The court is raising them in vain, so the prime minister asked us..."
"Didn't I say that?" Zeng Gongliang frowned.
"Yes, it's Mr. Han Xianggong, the previous Prime Minister." The doctor said, shrinking his neck.
"A martial arts school has less than 200 teachers and students combined." Chen Ke sneered: "Even if we cut them all off, how much money can we save?"
"Better than nothing..." The doctor was not afraid of him.
"A good one is better than nothing!" Chen Ke snorted coldly: "The officials appointed me to be the official of the Royal Martial Arts Academy. They asked me to run the martial arts academy well and cultivate outstanding generals for the Song Dynasty.
Once you have washed away the bad habits you have accumulated for many years, you just casually said, 'Better than nothing', and let the holy life vanish into thin air!"
"I didn't receive the order," the doctor was not afraid of trouble, and sneered, "I can't just change my mind based on your words, right?"
"It's easy. Let's go to the imperial palace to verify it." Chen Ke said and stood up.
"Hey, Zhong Fang, calm down." Seeing that the two sides were about to have a stalemate, Zeng Gongliang quickly asked the doctor to step back and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here."
"There is no misunderstanding. Basically, it is the people from the Privy Council who want to abolish the Wushu Academy." Chen Ke sat down again and said angrily: "I dare to ask my husband and the Wushu Academy, where can such a big hatred come from?"
"That's wrong." Zeng Gongliang had the air of an elder and did not care about Chen Ke's aggressiveness. He smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, the imperial court has long regretted the uselessness of military generals and has always wanted to establish a training system for military officers. So.
In addition to the martial arts examinations, in May of the third year of Qingli, the first martial arts school was opened in the Wuchengwang Temple, and Ruan Yi was appointed as the martial arts professor, hoping to imitate the Imperial College and Imperial College and cultivate qualified reserve military officers."
"However, contrary to expectations, martial arts was not so attractive, and no one was willing to enroll as a martial arts student. Regarding this, Duke Fan Wenzheng, who was involved in political affairs at the time, went to the official family: 'The country established martial arts, but it suffered from
No one is willing to enroll in the school. If this continues, the enemy will think that our country has no heroes. It is better to order the abolition of the name of martial arts. If there are students who like the art of war, they can be guaranteed by the officials of the prison and let them study military books in secret.'"
Chen Ke responded with a sneer: "So, Wushu, the first school in the history of the Song Dynasty and even China to specialize in training military talents, only existed for less than a hundred days and was forced to end its mission."
