039 [Fighting Poems in the South of the Yangtze River, Fighting in Guizhou]
"Am I hit?"
"I actually got hit?"
"Haha, I passed the high school student examination!"
When Liu Yaozu looked at the list, he was confused at first, then in disbelief, and finally overjoyed.
You can imagine what the list of children's exams looks like. You can imagine Mr. Feng Shui's compass: Wang Yuan, who is at the top of the exam, is the Tai Chi diagram in the center of the compass; those who are at the top of the exam are the Bagua around the Tai Chi diagram. And so on,
What follows are the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
As for Liu Yaozu, he belonged to the outermost sixty-four hexagrams and was admitted as a student by following his tail.
This boy has always studied very hard. When Wang Yuan was studying and practicing calligraphy, he was studying and practicing calligraphy; when Wang Yuan was riding a horse and hunting, he was still reading and practicing calligraphy!
But things in the world just don't make sense. Wang Yuan has been able to recite the "Four Books" proficiently. Liu Yaozu needs to see the title before he can barely recall the original text of the "Four Books". Moreover, he is also very bad at writing eight-legged essays. There is often a gap between the succession and the transition.
There are traces of forcibly pieced together, and there are not enough words to write, so I like a few paragraphs on the water.
Liu Yaozu studied and wrote articles, which is a bit like the teenage version of Song Gongzi. Of course, he came from a poor background and was bullied since childhood. His mind is actually far ahead of his peers, so he will definitely not become a pedantic nerd.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Wang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he said this. He knew the academic level of his friends. This guy was able to be admitted as a student. It shows how bad other candidates are. It all depends on their peers.
Set off!
Liu Yaozu scratched his head and giggled: "The four essays are better, but I wrote all the five essays blindly. I don't even know what I wrote. Haha, hahaha, can this also pass the examination?"
A few days later, Wang Yuan and Liu Yaozu came to Si School again. This time they came to enroll new students.
After enrolling in school, he became Professor Zhang's younger brother and followed Professor Zhang around, barely holding the status of teacher and student.
"Congratulations, junior, for winning the Little Three Yuan in one fell swoop!" Chen Wexue, Tang Zhen and Ye Wu took the lead in congratulating.
Other students also came to congratulate him. Everyone knew that for Xi Tixue to appreciate Wang Yuan, he had to make a good friend.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, the children of the Li family are hereditary military attaches in Guizhou City, and there are two Guizhou general soldiers in their family. They look down on the barbarians from the north of the city - the north of Guizhou City is all barbarian land. And outside Guizhou City in the east, west, and south
Under the walls in three directions are the military households of the guard station.
This is no longer simply a chain of ethnic contempt, but also mixed with regional hatred. Even if Wang Yuan is a pure Han Chinese, as long as he lives in the north, he is the object of contempt for the descendants of the Li family.
"What's the air of a barbarian?" Li Ying sat in the classroom, dismissive of Wang Yuan, and regarded those who congratulated him as followers.
Song Yun said with a smile: "This barbarian is not an easy man. He studied in my Song clan for two years and made my brothers docile."
Li Ying was puzzled: "You sons of the Song family are still afraid of him?"
Song Yun was full of bad intentions: "When you provoke him one day, you will know why my brothers are afraid."
"That's because you, the Song family, are cowards!" Li Ying didn't take it seriously.
"Yes, our Song family is useless," Song Yun laughed and said in a strange manner, "Your Li family is very powerful. The Miao people in the Anning Division rebelled, and General Li fought for almost two years. As a result, not only did the Anning Division be lost, but also the Miao people rebelled.
The neighboring counties were all destroyed. In the end, we had to ask An Guirong for help."
"Poof!"
Li Ying was so angry that he slammed the table, pointed at Song Yun and yelled: "How dare you say that again!"
Song Yun immediately smiled and held up his hands: "General Li is a true hero."
There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, but it sounded so jarring that Li Ying's face turned blue and white in turns, and he could only sit back and sulk on his own.
Not long after, Professor Zhang arrived, along with two assistant envoys for studying.
Mao Ke, deputy envoy of Tixue, rarely appeared in public. He was leaning on a cane, his complexion was sallow and sickly, and he trembled when he walked. It was hard to believe that he was able to make it to Guizhou alive to take up his post.
"Everyone!"
Mao Ke held the crutch and handed over his hand, and said: "The scholars in Guizhou have always lacked the guidance of famous teachers. Mr. Yangming is really talented. When you go to Longgang, you must study hard and study hard. We are a big country in Guizhou, and we have passed the exam three times in a row.
There has been no Jinshi for twelve years. This is a shame for Guizhou scholars. I hope you can avenge this shame!"
The students quickly bowed and shouted in unison: "I will follow the teachings of the Grandmaster!"
Xi Shu continued: "Your predecessors, those Jinshi who came out of Guizhou, have been working hard for the special rural examination in Guizhou. Jinshi from Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces, as well as Jinshi from Taizu Longxing's land, are also in
It is proposed that Guizhou should set up a rural examination. Why does the court not allow it? One is because there are not enough schools in Guizhou, and the other is because there are too few Jinshi in Guizhou. If you can pass a few more Jinshi, you can contribute to the establishment of a provincial examination in Guizhou! Remember, remember!"
"We will do our best!" the students immediately expressed their stance, feeling a sense of responsibility in their hearts.
As for Xi Shu, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and the land of Taizu Longxing all worked hard for the special provincial examination in Guizhou. It was purely because these places were among the top candidates for the imperial examination.
As early as the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was a dispute between the North and South lists, and later a middle list was set up.
Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou are all barbarian lands. The imperial court merged these provinces into the Zhongbang together with the Longxing land of the Ming Dynasty, which meant that the southwest region was treated as the emperor's hometown. And various preferential treatment was given to the provinces in the Zhongbang.
The number of people to be elected has been increasing for decades. This move has two purposes: first, to use the successful list to check and balance the northern and southern lists; second, to strengthen control over the southwest region.
In the past, when the Northern and Southern Scholars quarreled, the middle-ranked Scholars could only watch the fun, and were not even qualified to participate. They eagerly hope that Guizhou can also set up provincial examinations. The more quotas, the more chances of becoming Scholars. There are more people.
He's so powerful, he might even be able to participate in a fight someday.
Xi Shu was from Sichuan, and he was a successful Jinshi. He regarded the Guizhou scholars as one of his own from the bottom of his heart.
Regarding Xi Shu's remarks just now, Mao Ke, the Jinshi of the Nandang List, was a little unhappy. He set up a school in Guizhou just for political achievements, and he also had a natural mission as a scholar, but not to help the scholars of the Zhongbang Scholars fight for the right to speak in the court.
"Ahem!"
Mao Ke coughed twice, changed the subject and said, "We'll go to Longgang Mountain on your own. If you don't want to, don't force it."
That is to say, the students are allowed to be apprentices by themselves. Those who don’t want to be apprentices don’t have to go. The academic officer and Professor Zhang will not interfere in the whole process. If there is any problem, it has nothing to do with Xi Shu, Mao Ke and Zhang Bangchen.
The reason for the temporary change of heart was that Mao Ke was timid and afraid of taking political risks.
It still stems from the rebellion of the Miao people. Previously, Governor Wei Ying came to oversee military affairs in Guizhou. Two days ago, another governor of Guizhou, Wang Zhi, suddenly appeared. Moreover, this governor was a bit strange. He might have come specifically for the rebellion.
He will be transferred after the rebellion is suppressed, because last year the imperial court advocated the dismissal of the governor in Guizhou.
Wang Zhi is Liu Eunuch's lackey. He came to Guizhou to be the governor. Who dares to get together with Wang Yangming?
Xi Shu said to Wang Yuan: "Wang Yuan, you have met Mr. Yangming. This time the students are going to Longgang Mountain to study, and you will be the guide. Are you willing to take up this position?"
"Grandmaster, please feel free to worry." Wang Yuan cupped his hands and said.
The two deputy academic envoys left soon, and Professor Zhang also accompanied them to drink tea.
Wang Yuan asked all the students to register, but they all wanted to go to Longgang Mountain. Even Li Ying, who was not used to him, also came to sign up. Most of these students were pretending to be studying, but they were just going to join in the fun. At the same time, they could travel to the mountains confidently.
Play with water.
On the day of their departure, some scholars from the society also came, as did the children who had not been admitted as scholars. Even Mr. Song regained his freedom.
In addition, some of them were accompanied by attendants and book boys, and there were actually six to seven hundred people, riding horses and leading donkeys, carrying food and wine, and they were about to attack Longgang Mountain in a mighty manner.
In order to strengthen management and prevent accidents, Wang Yuan also organized the group before departure.
Ten people formed a group, and Wang Yuan appointed a hundred leaders.
Wang Yuan considers himself the superintendent and is in charge of everything. Chen Wenxu, Tang Zhen, and Ye Cang are deputy superintendents, responsible for communicating and coordinating the upper and lower levels, and are each responsible for two hundred-person groups.
"Why do you have the final say?" Li Ying burst out on the spot, but he only got a hundred dollars.
Wang Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said: "If you are not convinced, let's compare. You can compare knowledge or fists. If you feel guilty and dare not compare, then check your name off the registration list.
You can go to Longgang Mountain by yourself, if something unexpected happens on the way, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Competition is a competition to see who has the stronger fist." Li Ying has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Of course he chose to compete with fists. He is not stupid enough to compete with others in knowledge.
Song Yun had a sinister smile on his face, just waiting to watch the show.
Hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Si Xue, leaving open space to watch.
You need to bring solid food with you to study, and snacks are indispensable. Before they started playing, someone took out fried pumpkin seeds and pine nuts, and chatted and had fun while eating the seeds.
It’s just time to place your bets!
Li Ying has a crazy personality. The more people watching, the more excited he becomes. He points at Wang Yuan and asks: "Wrestling or fisting?"
"You choose!" Wang Yuan said.
"Wrestling!"
"Wrestling!"
All the scholars shouted.
Many of them were children of military families. In the Ming Dynasty, wrestling was one of the "Six Imperial Guards" and was very popular in the army. Even Zhu Houzhao often wore military uniforms and wrestled with a group of adopted sons in the Leopard Room.
This is so full of Guizhou characteristics.
Jiangnan scholars like to watch poetry fights, while Guizhou scholars like to watch fights.
"I'll draw a circle!" Someone picked up the stones and drew a sumo circle around the two of them.
"Da da da!"
"Wait a minute, let me be the judge!"
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Song Ling'er suddenly burst in, shouting excitedly: "I'm here to be the judge, no one is allowed to rob me. Wang Yuan, you are so uninteresting, you didn't even call me in the fight, you almost missed the excitement!"
Within a moment, passers-by were also attracted, and even shop assistants were holding benches to watch the show.
Song Ling'er got off her horse, raised her whip and said, "Win two out of three. Prepare for the first one!"
Li Ying is sixteen years old and Wang Yuan is thirteen years old, but there is not much height difference, except that Li Ying looks stronger.
The two raised their arms to touch each other's shoulders. Upon hearing Song Ling'er's order, they immediately started to wrestle at the same time.
Li Ying soon felt something was wrong. He had exhausted all his strength, but the opponent actually didn't move at all. He stretched out his feet to trip him, but he lost his center of gravity. He felt a lightness under his feet, and Wang Yuan grabbed his clothes and lifted him up.
.
"boom!"
Li Ying was completely thrown out of the circle and felt dizzy from the fall.
Song Ling'er shouted: "In the first game, Wang Yuan wins. Get ready for the second game!"
Li Ying didn't believe in evil. He patted his butt and stood up, shouting fiercely: "Come again!"
After a few breaths, Li Ying was thrown over his shoulder.
Song Ling'er clapped her hands and cheered: "Winning two out of three games, Wang Yuan wins!"
One loss may be an accident; two losses, there is definitely no excuse.
What's more, it was defeated so simply.
Li Ying had a very bachelor character, but he didn't feel resentful. Instead, he was impressed by Wang Yuan's power and said: "You are so powerful, I, Li Sanlang, am convinced!"
Wang Yuan shouted to everyone: "Return to the team. The chief will count the number of people and report to the chief, and the chief will report to the deputy superintendent, and the deputy superintendent will report to me!"
The scholars returned to the army laughing and joking, not taking Wang Yuan's sesame official seriously, but they did not disobey Wang Yuan's orders.
Anyone who dares to disobey can just come out and fight.
Ye Cang smiled and said: "Our junior is like running an army."
Tang Ji is a descendant of Tang He and is also a hereditary military attache. He praised: "Looking at his actions, if he was born in the military guard, he would be a good general!"
