Three years ago.

In the twenty-third year of Jingren of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in February, under the emperor's list, Kai'en Ke took the office, and the students of the Northern Wei Dynasty were overjoyed, ready to try.

The highest institution of learning in the Northern Wei Dynasty - Guozijian.

The students are all high-spirited, young and ambitious, and often have the heart of worrying about the country and the people. Among the peers, they are all talking about the country's government and politics, criticizing the evils of the times, and recently, what people are talking about is the Enke exam, which has been postponed for a long time.

"Great, this year is finally off the list. ”

"Yes, let's wait, the Enke exam that was supposed to be held the year before last was disturbed by drought and natural disasters in the west, so that it could not be carried out smoothly, and this year is the time for my generation to show their talents!"

"Not bad, not bad, Tianxingjian: a gentleman strives for self-improvement!"

"Well, a man's career should be a strange thing, and a husband should be righteous for the country, and he will not regret it!"

"Okay, all the gentlemen. ”

......

Because the imperial examination is approaching, Guozijian from the sacrificial wine (equivalent to the principal) to the doctor are actively preparing for this scientific examination, and the classes have long been suspended, allowing the students to arrange the next time by themselves.

Most of the Guozi supervisors are the children of eunuchs, even if they can't be the top in high school, as long as they enter the Jinshi, they can also enter the official career in the future, and the future is bright. Therefore, when Enko arrived, although his heart was excited, he didn't see how nervous he cared.

As soon as the school was suspended, I saw pen, ink, paper and inkstone falling everywhere in the classroom, but it was rare to see a few people and students studying diligently.

Dr. Chen looked at the empty classrooms and the cluttered books, shook his head with some emotion, and was alone in the empty school to help the students tidy up their desks and books.

When they came to the cubicle, they found that the desks had already been cleaned up, and there was only one student in the center of the school who was looking intently at a book in his hand, even if Dr. Chen came to his side, this person was unaware.

"Zichen, what are you reading? Haven't you already studied this book, why are you still reading it?"

Dr. Chen's words interrupted the train of thought of this student named Zichen, which made this handsome student's face turn white.

In order to make the identity of the student equal to the same heart and learning, he never calls the student by his real name, but takes the name according to the generation, and the latter word takes a word from the individual's name to distinguish it.

Zichen was startled, and hurriedly got up to greet Dr. Chen, and said:

Zi said: It is not pleasant to learn and learn it. Zichen is just revisiting the books he has read before, but he has a different experience and experience!"

Zichen blinked a little weakly, he was not reading a book, but in a daze, he was thinking about an old friend, an old man who had not been seen again for a long, long time.

Zichen was a little ashamed and couldn't make it clear to Dr. Chen, so as not to be scolded by the doctor again, so he casually talked about this panic as a prevarication.

How do you know that Dr. Chen seems to take this seriously, pinched his beard, nodded and said:

"Very good, review the old and learn the new, the doctor is looking forward to your experience, when the time comes, write an article, and enjoy it with me!"

When Zichen heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, but he still bowed his head respectfully and said yes.

This student is the most distinctive one among the students of Guozijian's class, keen and studious, well-informed, quick thinking, and unique.

Some novel ideas can be seen in his articles, which are reasonable, well-founded, and fascinating. It can also be seen that there are one after another policy discussions, touching on the analogy, witty words, and close logic, which is a rare good article!

It's just that his temperament is still a little impatient, sharp, and lacks training, and when he disagrees with the doctors who teach in class, he disregards the etiquette of teachers and students, and debates with the doctors, and is often criticized by the doctors who abide by the etiquette and the ancients.

Once provoked the anger of the uncle of the country's priest and the uncle of the guard, and scolded him in the hall with a "shaft", since then, the boss has called him in the name of "shaft", Zichen knows that the boss is for his own good, but he doesn't care, and begins to learn to restrain the edge, and his respect for the boss Wei has become more and more heavy.

Dr. Chen has never seen the old man teach a student so strictly, and there was only one before that, that is, Yi Xian, who was the top student in high school at the age of sixteen and was known as the pride of the sky, and later Yi Xian married the daughter of the old man and became Weng's son-in-law.

The old man also said that he has been teaching and educating people all his life, that is, he wants to get one or two good talents among all the beings, cultivate a towering tree, and take on the grand wish of the Northern Wei Dynasty to enrich the country and strengthen the army, then his wish is enough!

I just don't know if Zichen can take on such a heavy responsibility after Yixian?

"Zichen, ten days later will be the day of Enke's exam, how are you preparing?"

Dr. Chen knows this student very well, whether it is his character and appearance, as well as his life background, he can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, and he has so many advantages in one, which is a very legendary thing in itself.

It's just that this kid doesn't seem to have a career in office, and he is very indifferent to whether he can go to high school, not because he was also born as a child of an official eunuch, but because he doesn't like the intrigues of officialdom.

Zichen only smiled faintly and said:

"The doctor didn't say it, just go with the flow, be worthy of your heart, and don't be trapped in love. ”

Dr. Chen smiled and said:

"Stupid words, that's just the helpless words that the doctor has said for decades, how old are you, how can you really understand the meaning of these words, some things can only be felt if you have experienced them yourself, and what you say is what you really say in your heart!"

Zichen pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Although Zichen doesn't know it very clearly, he will think about it carefully. ”

Dr. Chen nodded, knowing that this kid was smart and had always thought more and far-reaching than others.

In a trance, there is not only some emotion, but time is like a white horse passing by, fleeting. At that time, Zichen was still a half-human-tall child, as if in the blink of an eye, he had become the young man who was now in deep clothes, well-dressed, and gentle.

"Zichen, now that you have grown up, now the doctor asks you, do you still want to be an official?

Zichen's eyes were clear, there were no ripples in them, and he was always as calm as water, and said:

"Doctor, Zichen will be an official, and the reason for being an official is still for the peace of the world!"

Dr. Chen was a little surprised to meet Zichen's calm eyes, which seemed to have nothing in them, and they seemed to be full for a long time.

This kid is already growing up at a certain rate, he didn't say that he wanted to be an official, but he said that he would be an official, which seems to be an affirmation of his future destiny, he knows very well what he should do, what he will do, and how to do it.

The only thing that does not change his original intention is to be an official for the sake of peace in the world?

This made Dr. Chen begin to look forward to what kind of changes the Northern Wei Dynasty would have in the hands of this child, and what kind of Cheng would the world be influenced by this child?

The Qiangua in the 8864 hexagrams, 92 saw the dragon in the field, this kid has been hiding his talent in the country prison for too long, it's time to show his head and let his talent be seen.

Next, Dr. Chen reminded Zichen of some matters that should be paid attention to in the imperial examination, and Zichen was also listening carefully, when suddenly there was a sound of urging outside the window, Dr. Chen frowned slightly, and Zichen kept looking out the window with some embarrassment.

Dr. Chan knew in his heart that it was normal for this young man to be more lively and active.

"Who is hiding outside the window, isn't it a gentleman on the beam, who doesn't dare to show his true face?"

Dr. Chen deliberately spoke in a stern tone in order to scare the person outside the window into appearing on his own.

As soon as the people outside the window heard this, they knew that they had exposed their stuffing, and Dr. Chen was notoriously stern, so he could only smirk and pop his head out, with a playful smile on his face, and walked in from outside, and said:

"Dr. Chen's words are wrong, Changfeng is not a gentleman on the beam, but he saw that Dr. Chen and Zichen were chatting with great interest, and he didn't dare to bother, so he wandered left and right, hesitating......"

Dr. Chen couldn't help but shake his head, Changfeng used to be an honest and loyal child, but since he was with Ziwei and others, people have become a lot more impetuous, although he is not as subtle and shy when talking to people, but now he still has a bit of clever words, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

"Okay, are you here to find Zichen? I've already said everything I want to say, so I'll give you Zichen. ”

Changfeng scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at Zichen with a wry smile.

When Zichen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, when did he become a thing, and he was let around.

"Let's talk, I'm going to patrol elsewhere. ”

After that, Dr. Chan tidied up his clothes a little and prepared to leave.

Zichen and Changfeng saluted respectfully, and said in unison:

"Congratulations, Doctor!"

"Hmm!"

Dr. Chen answered, and as soon as he walked to the door with his front foot, Changfeng was so anxious that he grabbed Zichen's sleeve and said intermittently in his ear.

In just a few words, Changfeng shouted the "Yihong Pavilion", which happened to be heard by Dr. Chen.

Isn't that a place for men to drink and have fun, and to make noise? How could this group of students go there?

Dr. Chen was suddenly angry, and he really planned to go back and reprimand Zichen and the others, but after thinking about it, although Guozijian had a rule that students were not allowed to enter that place of sound, so as not to be contaminated with bad habits and damage the reputation of scholars. But there is also a cloud as the old saying goes: color eating is also.

They are at such an age of blood and energy, and it is inevitable that they will be curious about the love between men and women.

Therefore, there are often Guozi prisoners who pretend to be businessmen, confuse the land of fireworks, contaminated with wine-colored wealth, and show off with their classmates after returning, which makes everyone else feel ape and curiosity. Therefore, it is common to see several students going in groups during the day, returning in the middle of the night, and when they come back, they are all red-faced and drunk, which is really insulting.

This phenomenon has been repeatedly prohibited, and it has almost become a convention. This shows the atmosphere of scholars lingering in the land of fireworks.

Officialdom and the academy are completely different worlds, and what they learn in the academy is only the knowledge in books and the truth of the teachers' words and deeds, but they can't teach them the shape and □□ of officialdom, and they can only rely on their own experience and experience.

As soon as he thought about it, Dr. Chan felt that the young eagle would always leave the eagle's side, fly alone, and then go alone to find a world of its own.

Whether as an eagle or a teacher, they all have to learn to let go of their hands when the time is right!

"Zichen!"

Outside the door, Dr. Chen suddenly stopped Zichen.

Zichen's face was flustered, he didn't expect Dr. Chen to suddenly stop him, thinking that the doctor still had something to explain, so he hurriedly responded:

"Yes, Doctor. ”

How do you know that Dr. Chen's face was a little solemn, and he said in a serious tone, saying:

"When there is little, the blood is not condensed, and the precept is in color. You, remember!"

"Huh?"

Zichen was slightly stunned, and he didn't react for a while, but with the long wind beside him laughing, Zichen suddenly understood, and in a moment, his face became red and hot, and he was speechless and unclear.

"Bo...... Doctor, Zichen is not ......"

Dr. Chan just sighed, shook his head, and walked away.

Zichen couldn't help but stay where he was, and suddenly felt like the sky was falling apart.

Changfeng, who was beside him, finally couldn't help laughing and patted Zichen's shoulder to show comfort.

Zichen was so angry that he trembled, and unceremoniously punched Changfeng and said angrily:

"It's not all your fault, you can still laugh!"

Changfeng knew my temper, and hurriedly apologized, saying:

"Zichen don't be angry, Changfeng apologized for this. It's just that, what should Ziwei do over there?"

There was an accident on Ziwei's side, and what happened was like this:

Ziwei took a few students who were close on weekdays to the Yihong Pavilion to drink flower wine, he originally wanted to take Zichen with him, but Zichen was not interested at all, and resolutely rejected him.

In Zichen's opinion, reading books is much more interesting than drinking flower wine, and he also advised Ziwei to go to those fireworks places, and Ziwei felt that Zichen was a nerd, or the kind that had no cure. Angrily, he took the others to the Yihong Pavilion where he often went to drink flower wine.

Originally, everything was peaceful, and they were happy, but the problem seemed to be that Ziwei had been taking care of a girl who accompanied the wine, the wine banquet was thick, and the distinguished guest who had never thought of a box would pay a high price to ask the girl to go upstairs to accompany the wine, Ziwei was so angry that he had a conflict with the distinguished guest, and the distinguished guest hurt people, and Ziwei was angry that he just punched the person to the ground.

The distinguished guest was not alone, plus there were more than a dozen companions and servants, Ziwei and his party plus Changfeng were only six people, among which only Ziwei was able to do martial arts, but his two fists were invincible to his four hands, and he was still detained, and he was threatened with compensation of 500 gold before he was released, otherwise he would be sent to the government.

If it weren't for Changfeng getting up halfway to go to the toilet, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had time to come back to report the news, and he would have been detained in the Yihong Pavilion by that group of villains.

Zichen was furious, he had warned Ziwei countless times not to be impulsive and reckless, competitive, drinking and making mistakes, but he didn't expect that the more he admonished him, the more he would commit something.

If this matter is known by his uncle, he will definitely not spare Ziwei, if he asks for family law, I am afraid that Ziwei's feet will be light.

Ziwei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his greatest wish is to become a general in the army and make contributions. If his legs are lost, isn't it equivalent to killing him?

No, he has to find a way to save Ziwei from those people!

"Changfeng, you lead the way, I'll go and meet that person and then take care of it. ”

Changfeng nodded, looked at the scarf and deep clothes on Zichen's body, he must have to reveal his identity this time, pointed to this scholar's clothes, and hurriedly asked:

"Shall we go like this?"

"Of course I'll have to change my clothes and go again!"

Zichen couldn't help but glance at Changfeng.

"That's right, but they asked for five hundred gold ......."

Zichen pondered for a moment and said:

"Since that group of people has so many servants, it is obvious that they are either rich or expensive, how can they care about a mere five hundred gold? ”

When Changfeng heard this, he felt that it made sense, nodded a little yes, and then said:

"That group of people doesn't seem to be from the capital, as the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, if it shows the reputation of the prime minister, that group of people should retreat and let Ziwei go, right?"

I'm saying:

"By all means, you don't know Ziwei's temperament, he has been holding back and not saying anything because he doesn't want to use the prestige of the Gao family, not to mention that if he alarms his uncle at this time, I'm afraid his fate will be worse than falling into the hands of that group of people!"

Changfeng couldn't help but tremble, and it seemed that he could only resign himself to fate.

Thinking of this, Changfeng took out a cracked and old tortoise shell from his arms, and actually began to tell fortunes.

Zichen not only lamented his forehead, this is an old problem of Changfeng, every time he encounters a disaster, he has to ask God not to have a hexagram to determine the good fortune.

Their family has been a subordinate official of Qintianjian for generations, and the father passes on the son, and the son inherits the father's business, so he will also serve in the Qintianjian in the future.

Zichen has known Changfeng until now, and he doesn't know whether his divination is accurate or not, but sometimes, especially when he has no confidence in doing something, this divination is really a good psychological hint, at least if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it.

After a while, I saw three copper coins falling from the tortoise shell, Changfeng studied it seriously for a while, and then pretended to be old, touched the chin that had not yet grown a beard, and the expression on his face was happy and worried, and he couldn't tell whether this hexagram was auspicious or evil, and said:

"This is a hexagram, Xun up and down, meaning that if you are saved in danger, you will have a blessing in the future......"

Before he could finish speaking, I grabbed him by the back and dragged him away.

"No matter what kind of hexagram you have, I only know, if you don't save people, Ziwei will wait to be cut down!"

"Eh~ Wait, my turtle bone, that's a family heirloom, I can't lose it......"

Immediately, the academy heard the wailing sound of the long wind......
