Chapter 273: Martial Arts
The first major event after the year was that the emperor planned to open a martial arts.
As soon as the news came out, the emperor sent the princes to travel around Dayan last year, visiting various academies and Confucianism, and this spring he started martial arts, so that the hundred officials were a little confused for a while.
Clans, princes and nobles, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, after hearing about it, all of them are ready to wait, the Great Yan Dynasty has a imperial examination, want to rely on military merits to start, unless the ancestor is a military general, and he will get the military position of Yin Feng when he is young, otherwise he has to try his luck, and the small soldiers and pawns will hardly have a day out even if they have unique skills.
But it is different with martial arts, that is, ordinary people, who have good skills, can also have the opportunity to contribute to the imperial court.
What these people in the clan think is that the false title of this shadow seal is not as good as the results of the martial arts examination, and whether it is the clan or the princes and nobles, the most nerve-wracking thing is that there are many children but few cute shades.
It could not be more appropriate to describe it as more monks and less porridge.
The civil official faction is more calm, after all, their family, unlike the princes and nobles, can still practice martial arts without practicing literature, so the opening of martial arts, for the civil official group, the impact is not great, but to open martial arts, there are many things to do, these things, can only fall on the civil officials, the Great Yan Dynasty only in the beginning of the founding of the country had a martial arts, although there is a precedent to follow, but nearly a hundred years, this charter should be according to the old routine, or there is a revision, to overhaul? Or will it be slightly adjusted to match the current situation?
When the news reached the people, the small people in the market were treated as gossip, but the hooligans and gangsters who were in the market were highly looking forward to it, this was probably the only way for them to turn over and become officials, how could they not pay attention to it?
At the same time, the news that the emperor gave the three princes of the six princes was not so noticeable.
There are only a few who can be relatives with the emperor. The benefits are only available to a few of them, but martial arts is different! The nobles themselves have titles, but the sons don't! Even if he has a son. The prince may not be able to enter the court as an official, if the sons can be admitted to the martial arts and get an official and a half-position, hehe, this is real power! is different from Mengyin's false title, even if he is a hundred years later, the prince may not be able to speak in the court, but the son who relies on martial arts to obtain an official position can help the son of the lord in the court.
These magnates all felt that their children and grandchildren were extraordinary. It was determined that only their sons and daughters participated in the martial arts, and the martial champions, tanhua, etc. were like things in their pockets, and they took them with their families! has a martial arts background, which is better than Mengyin's position!
In Beijing, only a few powerful people saw the emperor's intentions.
Jiang Yujin, the Duke of Hengguo, who was nearly seventy years old, found his old friend Pingxi Hou Ge Zhenchuan. Eat at the famous Wanfu Restaurant in Beijing.
In the private room on the third floor, Heng Guogong, who was blushing and high-voiced, deliberately lowered his voice and said to Pingxi Hou, who was so thin that only bones remained: "I look at the emperor!" I'm afraid that I'm going to do something to the Yang family. ”
"Where did you see that?"
"Hey, hey, guess!" Hengguo Gong naughty boy style, so that Pingxi Hou, who has been suffering from old diseases all the year round, is very impatient, and the big palm-like hand beckons down to his arm, and Hengguo Gonggong feels a pain in his arm. I screamed in pain.
"Old fellow, you haven't put down this kung fu yet?"
When Pingxi Hou fought in the southwest in his early years, he fell into a lot of diseases, he and Heng Guogong were stationed in the southwest together, he resigned early due to illness and returned to Beijing to recuperate, but Heng Guogong was a fool and a fool. Pingxi Hou has a good governance but resigned due to illness, he took over this benefit, in the pacification of the southwest of the ethnic groups when the rebellion made a great contribution, the first emperor on meritorious deeds, the title of the prince of other countries. And Ge Zhenchuan only won Pingxi Hou.
The friendship between the two families is also in-law, but recently because Heng Guogong's little daughter-in-law is the granddaughter of Pingxi Hou in the original phase, Mrs. Pingxi Hou does not look down on Heng Guogong's little grandson, the two sides are a little discordant, Heng Guogong does not want to go to Pingxi Hou's mansion, and it is not good to invite Pingxi Hou to come to the house, so the two have to make an appointment to meet outside.
Heng Guogong can see the things, how could Pingxi Hou not see it, poured a cup of tea and tasted it slowly, and said: "The emperor rushed the six princes and they haven't returned to Beijing yet, so they will first set the relatives of the three princes, and even the marriage of the eighth prince has been decided, if the queen mother wants to seek relatives for the girl of the Yang family, I am afraid that it will be difficult!"
"Regardless of the Yang family, congratulations! Your niece and granddaughter are going to marry into the royal family and become the sixth princess! Heng Guogong patted his old friend on the shoulder.
Pingxihou shook his head, "That girl's mother died early, so why would this princess choose her if it wasn't her turn?"
The old gentleman couldn't figure it out, Heng Guogong's news was better than him, "You don't know? That girl from the Yao family worships under Yan Chi's daughter?"
"By the way, I heard that Yan Chi, this old thing, is always getting stronger! Three new apprentices! ”
Pingxi Hou was surprised, why did his relatives, but Heng Guogong knew better than him?
Heng Guogong smiled and explained, "Do you remember my brother-in-law?" His little grandson couldn't stay in the army anymore, so his cousin and grandfather gave him an errand to serve as a guard, and teach him some kung fu to recuperate. ”
Pingxihou poured him a cup of tea, Heng Guogong took the tea, drank it dry, looked at Pingxihou's reluctant face, laughed and said, "You are a guard for that kid!" is the grandson of the Du Xiang family. ”
"Gao Tingjin's grandson-in-law?"
"It's not the big one, it's the small one, the one who's as thin as you." Heng Guogong didn't remember Du Yunxun's name, only remembered that he was skinny.
But Pingxihou had an impression of him. "Who am I, it turned out to be that kid, who is so good at painting chrysanthemums, even the emperor praises him, and your nephew is going to be his guard?"
"Not really." Heng Guogong sighed, "I heard my brother-in-law say that the child of the Du family was not lightly damaged in his early years, and he had to take care of his life. ”
"How does this have anything to do with Yan Chi?"
"Hehe, you don't know, do you? Who is the new apprentice of the old thing in your Dao Yan Chi, the grandson of the Du family is one, and the youngest grandson of the Taifu family is another. ”
Seeing that he was silent, Pingxi Hou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that you accepted three apprentices?" And the other one?"
"There is another one, which is the little granddaughter of the Taifu family." Heng Guogong's face was slightly subtle.
Pingxihou was stunned, "Didn't you say that the kid was a fool?"
"Alright, c! Healed early! Heng Guogong waved his hand, "I heard that this child is blessed, not to mention stupid cuts, but also with God's help, he has learned a unique painting skill without a teacher, and he can draw people vividly, just like a real person." ”
Although Pingxi Hou is a martial artist, he loves Danqing very much, so he will remember Du Yunxun who is good at chrysanthemum.
"Really? You'll have to see if you have a chance. ”
When they were chatting in the restaurant, Fan Anyang, who had been a fool but had been cured, was accompanying his cousin Wang Jinyun, whose mother was busy showing her daughter to others, so Wang Jinyun was often taken out to banquets.
"Fortunately, my sister-in-law is quite capable, otherwise she would have to cry!"
"The eldest cousin can do a good job! In this way, you and your aunt don't have to pat your old stomach and pat Wu Kashu!?br/>
Wang Jinyun's eldest brother Wang Jinshun is a wife married in February after the New Year, Yao's looks shy, but he is a shrewd and capable person, they all say that one thing descends one thing, Wang Jinyun's old grandmother met her, she was beaten to death, and wanted to find trouble with her daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter-in-law asked her with tears in her eyes, is it that she is not waiting well there, so that her grandmother is not happy? If Xianggong knew, he would definitely blame her, Xianggong's love would be affected, he couldn't read the book, and the gentleman in the academy couldn't pass the exam and his career was hopeless, and his grandmother would definitely feel sorry for Xianggong, blaming her for not waiting for Xianggong, Xianggong would be angry, and her feelings would be affected, and then so on and so on for an infinite loop, which made Mrs. Wang dizzy, and finally had to Mingjin to withdraw her troops and no longer find trouble with her daughter-in-law.
I heard that the old lady Wang was very satisfied with this, and since then she has been going up the mountain to participate in Zen with her beard, and only went home for a long time, and left her wife to her eldest grandson and daughter-in-law to take care of her.
Fan Anyang was shocked when he heard this, this cousin-in-law is so funny!
Ding Wenfu was very fast, the eldest daughter-in-law entered the door, and then the marriage of the two concubines was also decided, just waiting for the woman to nod and fall into the period, and only the marriage of the youngest daughter was left in her hands.
The second lady Ding left Ding Xiaoyan's little daughter unmarried, and the two daughters-in-law entered the door one after another, and the third lady was coaxed by her sister-in-law and sister for so once, no longer believing them, and she had less contact with her mother's family.
Mr. Ding's term of office was about to expire, and Mrs. Ding wrote to ask her brother Du Xiang, and Mr. Ding San was very hopeful of seeking a term as a Beijing official. Mrs. Ding San thought about whether to postpone her daughter's marriage and wait for her husband to return to Beijing to report on his work before making plans.
When the flowers were blooming in March, Fan Anyang covered his sleeves and yawned, he used to envy the daughters of other nobles who had nothing to do, and went to banquets and played all day long.
Wang Jinyun secretly screwed her, Fan Anyang screamed in pain, and Ding Xiaoyan hurriedly grabbed her from the other side, "Look, why is she here?"
Fan Anyang looked at her hand, a group of young girls like flowers and jade, who are they talking about?
"The one wearing a crimson shirt and skirt, that's Yang Yanxi, right?"
A little girl sitting at another round table next to them heard this, and hurriedly replied, "Yes! It's her, my sister knows her?"
"I've seen her from afar." Ding Xiaoyan said, "Didn't the six princes leave for Beijing?" Why didn't she go back?"
"I heard that she was too sick, and her brother was afraid that something would happen to her, so he didn't leave until now." The little girl who replied pursed the corners of her mouth with disdain, "I heard my sister-in-law's accompanying grandmother say that she knew that the six princes were gone, so she wanted to chase her out barefoot regardless of it, and then it was the grandmother sent by the Queen Mother who dragged her back to the room, but she had a weak foundation and started to heat up the next day." ”
The little girl said and glanced at Fan Anyang quietly, "I heard that the doctors who came to her said that if she didn't have a high fever like that, she would burn into a fool!" ”
On the carriage that dispersed home, Wang Jinyun snorted coldly, "Yang Yanxi has not been retributed, God really doesn't open his eyes." ”
Fan Anyang said, "Maybe the retribution has not yet arrived!" ”
