. In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it is the autumn harvest season. Outside the city of Hangzhou, the rice fields that had not been touched by the war had turned into golden sè, and the farmers, soldiers, and homeless people were busy during the day, and even at night, the warm scene on the outskirts of the city was not at peace. Groups of soldiers camped in the middle of the field, watching and patrolling.

These rice fields that will be harvested have long been divided among many troops during the siege, and most of the grain and rice have become the common property of the rebels, but in fact, they are naturally distributed according to their respective strength, as long as the small court that currently belongs to Fang La occupies the majority, the rest of the people are naturally divided according to their respective fists. As for some of the fields that should still belong to some local good people in Hangzhou, by this time, they have actually had another ownership.

If it is just for harvesting, the more manpower arranged is naturally the better, but since it is a division of benefits, the more participants the merrier. These people inevitably fight and friction during the day, and at night, there are often cases of stealing and harvesting by other soldiers or civilians overnight, and before this time, the torches spread in the water fields and on the ridges, shouting to kill and shake the sky, and the colors dot the circles on the periphery of Hangzhou, and they can't sleep all night.

There is order and distribution of interests outside the city, and everyone in the city also has their own affairs. The Holy Ducal hierarchy is imminent, the streets and alleys of the city are already lively, and at this time the bloodiest situation has ended, and the new order has gradually taken on a slight outline, and as long as there is a relationship, they are all busy running for their own interests.

Some shops have opened mén, and people who have walked the streets or blocked the road have held a hero meeting, and in the restaurant and tea shop, you can often see people of different identities and temperaments gathering together, each weighing and boasting. Some of the people with connections and skills have obtained official and half-official positions under the command of generals, and scholars and Confucian scholars, who have never met a little literacy, began to tentatively cast famous posts, seeking refuge or seeking some big and small errands.

There are always a lot of people, and there are many people who are not optimistic about the future of Fang La's side, and naturally there will be people who have the ambition of being a marquis and are willing to take a risk. Society is like this, as long as there is a jiāo flow, there is a certain trend. A framework will always come naturally. This small society that belongs to Fang La, just like this, has his framework and prototype pieced together. In and out of the city, in this time. At first glance, it really feels like it's in full swing.

Wenli Academy in these few days. It still seems relatively calm. It's mid-morning, and the late autumn sun is falling through the trees. Mixed with bursts of lazy cicadas. It is the time of instruction in the academy. Ning Yi closed the "Historical Records" in his hand, put it away on the desk, and prepared to leave.

At this time, the academy was basically still in a situation where there were few students and many gentlemen, although it was divided into four classes, but it was less than 100 students, and there were 30 or 40 nominal teachers. Even if some of them belong to the privileged class and don't need to come at all, the number of teachers is actually seriously exceeded. Ning Yi taught the historical records in Class C for half an hour every morning, and then went to the mountain chief to get a piece of rice grain. Go back to accompany Xiaochan.

Now the mountain chief of this Wenli Academy is surnamed Feng, and he is called Feng Yongli. The name is rather cheesy, but the man is a good man, and it is said that he also had the experience of studying when he was young, but his family was poor and did not participate in the imperial examination. His knowledge is naturally not deep, but Fang La has been in the army since the beginning of the army, so he is quite qualified.

There are also several powerful civil officials in the Fang La army, Zu Shiyuan is one, and there is also a Lou Minzhong, Feng Yongli copied some proclamations and letters under Lou Minzhong at that time, and when he conquered Hangzhou, he became the head of this academy. The Feng family naturally had to loot and seek profit outside at this time, but at least in the academy, he did treat the scribes quite favorably. Due to his maintenance, the academy has been relatively harmonious in recent times.

At this time, there were a total of seven people gathered in the teaching room, basically all of them gentlemen after class, some drinking tea and studying the classics, and some talking softly on the side. Several people belong to the people who only supported the academy after the fall of Hangzhou, and they have a bit of a fate with each other, and at this time, a few people are talking about the war in Jiaxing.

"I heard that the war in the north has fallen into a stalemate, and the imperial court sent General Tong Guantong to lead his troops south, and Fang Qifo surrounded Jiaxing, but he couldn't attack it for a long time, and it was difficult to say who would kill the deer.........,"I heard that Tong Shumi used troops like a god, and originally thought that he would lead his troops north to attack Liao, this time...... cough, this time the Holy Father's momentum has attracted him over, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

"It's hard to say, now there are constant incidents in the north and south, Shuibo Liangshan Song Jiang, Huaixi Wang Qing, Hebei Tianhu are already quite tricky, especially ...... The Holy Father went down to Hangzhou this time, and in the recent months, there have been continuous incidents nearby, although Tong Guan went south, this side ...... But it's also booming. ”

"Accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become kings...... This time, the emperor is inevitably a little anxious, and he will attract Tong Guan to ......"

"Brother Tian's words are wrong, Tong Guan was attracted because of Hangzhou, as long as he goes down to Hangzhou, he will be stared at here if he is not called the emperor, and it is also for this reason that on the side of the Holy Father, it is imperative to call the emperor, he ...... On the side of our Holy Father, we can only correct our reputation, so that we can attract more help to take refuge, so that we have a better chance of winning against Tongguan. ”

The voices of several people were a little quiet, but they were not too evasive, and the atmosphere was still relatively relaxed these days. Although Ning Yi hadn't had much contact with these people in the past few days, everyone knew that he had only arrived here after the fall. What everyone is talking about now, on the one hand, is also related to vital interests, on the other hand, scholars will inevitably have some habits of pointing the country, at this time hiding in a corner of the si, how much can feel that they are the people who see the direction clearly in this luàn world. When Ning Yi put away his things and was about to leave, one of them accosted him.

"Liheng is leaving?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

"No need to be polite, since everyone is here now, they are colleagues, if Liheng is flawed, you might as well stay and talk to everyone. Things are hard, and no matter what, there's tea here. ”

"There are people waiting at home, so it's not good to stay long. When he has time in the future, he should ask for help from his predecessors and confess his sins. ”

"It's okay...... it's okay"

The middle-aged man who wants to keep Ning Yi is named Liu Xiyang, who was originally a Confucian in Hangzhou, and now in this academy, he and another Confucian named Wang Zhizhen are the most famous in terms of learning, but Wang Zhizhen is relatively rigid, and Liu Xiyang is more flexible. Originally, these local Confucian scholars in Hangzhou were not welcomed, if the Confucian literati who came with the Fang La army saw them, they would not dare to speak at will, only this Liu Xiyang is quite powerful.

Among the students he taught. There was one who was the son of Liu Zhan, one of the eight hussars under Fang La's command at this time, and this student did not like the teacher very much. But Liu Zan hopes that his son can become a literati. A few days earlier, Liu Zan came over once. Liu Xiyang casually mentioned that the child was quite talented in understanding the four books, and Liu Zan went to inquire about Liu Xiyang's name. Zhilu Dao is a true Confucian with a high level. It's my family again, so I quickly let the child recognize him as an uncle, and today in this lounge, he was the first to talk about the situation in the north, otherwise others would not dare to talk.

After saying this, Ning Yi said goodbye, and at this time, a neatly dressed and noblely dressed Confucian scholar in his thirties walked in from outside the mén. Yin swept it over with a calm face. The sound of talking about the battle situation in the lounge stopped when the man came in, and the other party's gaze stayed on Ning Yi for a moment, and then asked, "Who is Ning Liheng?" ”

Ning Yi glanced at him and arched his hand: "It's down there." ”

"In Xia Qu Weiqing." The man arched his hand and raised his chin. This person's name Ning Yi actually knew Lu Dao before, he was one of the literati who entered the city with Fang La's army, and he was originally a staff member under Wen Kerang's account, but after entering the city, he was named in the academy, but he didn't have to teach. He came here about once a few days, and because he was not talented enough in literature, he looked down on the literati of Hangzhou who had taken refuge here, and sometimes looked for someone to talk to and sneer. A few days ago, Liu Xiyang accepted Liu Zhan's son as a nephew, and when Qu Weiqing came, the two had friction, and Liu Xiyang became the leader of the Hangzhou faction in the academy.

Everyone originally thought that he was going to come in to find trouble with Liu Xiyang, but they didn't expect that it was Ning Yi, and they didn't know the situation for a while. I only heard that Qu Weiqing and said: "You teach history? Why don't you memorize it, but talk nonsense in slang in every class? At the beginning of the historical records, the five emperors are so solemn and vast, you are like a storyteller, without any respect, do you have no shame in your heart? ”

Ning Yi blinked and frowned slightly.

"The words of the saints are so profound, read a thousand times, and their righteousness is revealed. As a teacher, we should guide students to study and understand, rather than directly interpreting the interpretation with superficial words. You are young, I am afraid that you have not finished the four books and five classics, and you take the child's playful mind as you, and the classroom is like a teahouse storytelling. Others can tolerate you, I am entrusted by General Wen, but I will not turn a blind eye, and I will ask you: the cultivator is ninety-one, the scholar Shilu, the market is ridiculed but not levied, Zeliang is not forbidden, and the sinner is not punished...... Where does this come from, and what does it mean? ..., Ning Yi rubbed his forehead: "I don't know." ”

Hearing Ning Yi's simple answer, Qu Weiqing was slightly stunned, he originally thought that at least the other party could answer this question, but whether he could answer it or not, he was ready to speak. After a slight hesitation, he asked a few more questions, and then talked about how to teach and how to be a teacher. After talking so endlessly, he said: "Now I am Yongle Dynasty Fangxing, is short of talents, you are young, if you are humble to learn, you can not make some achievements." I am not the chief of the mountain, and I don't want to punish you, but if you dare to teach like this again, I will not tolerate you, and I will let you go out of the academy, and you can do it yourself. ”

After he said for a long time, Ning Yi's expression was flat, and he didn't refute it, and when he finished speaking, he humbly surrendered his hand, and then walked away like that. Qu Weiqing was stunned for a long time, looked at the other people in the room, and then turned to leave. After he left, a few people here whispered again, this time it was naturally aimed at Ning Yi.

In the past, Qu Weiqing caught people and ridiculed them, so that it was not so excessive, but these scribes listened to it, although they did not refute it, but the disapproval on their faces still showed it. People fight for a breath, even if they hold it, they have to have a mouthful, but today Ning Yi didn't know anything, and said it so directly, everyone felt that such literati were really losing face. In fact, about Ning Yi's way of teaching, some people have also felt it in the past few days.

"I heard that stories are told in the classroom, and those kids love ......"

"Deliberately currying favor with these students, what is the majesty of the teacher......"

"Mencius doesn't know the words of the Tao......"

"It's a shame that Brother Liu invited him to chat, just come over, I'm afraid he won't be able to say any insight......"

"Hey, they are all from Hangzhou, and now in such an environment, they are ready to unite."

Liu Xiyang said this, not long after, when some other teachers got out of class, more people knew about Fang Cai, and when they talked about Ning Yi, they were disdainful. In fact, everyone doesn't know much about this young man. Ning Yi has been like air in the academy these days, and everyone hasn't paid much attention to him. Besides, there is no máo on the lips. Naturally, learning will not be good. At this time, it was just confirmed. At this time, one of them said suspiciously: "Listen to what you say." It was clearly that Ning Liheng was playing tricks on him. How can you think that he doesn't understand the ...... of the Four Books?"

This person was the only person who greeted Ning Yi a few days ago, called Yan Deming, who was also quite knowledgeable in Hangzhou, and when he said this, Liu Xiyang asked: "Why did Deming say this?" ”

Yan Deming said: "Before the Hangzhou earthquake, Ning Liheng was given a poem at the Liqiu Poetry Conference, which shocked the four people, but it was only later that many miscellaneous things did not come out. The words begin with 'South-East Form Victory.' Sanwu Capital, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times......" Yan Deming took a pen and paper and wrote out the "Wanghai Cháo" sentence by sentence, Liu Xiyang and others read it, and then they were a little dumbfounded, Yan Deming said: "Can you write such words, how can it be what you say, this Ning Yi was originally the first genius in Jiangning, how could he not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, I am afraid that I don't want to cause trouble, and I am extremely disdainful of Qu Weiqing, so I did it on purpose." ”

When he said this, the crowd was skeptical, and then it dawned on him. Of course, at this time, there may be a little new understanding of Ning Yi, but it is not too exaggerated. Hangzhou has fallen, learning is here, after all, it is not too amazing something, whether it is the first talent in Jiangning, or the first talent in Hangzhou, in short, it is like an ordinary person who is trapped here, and he is just sheltered in the academy. Thinking of Ning Yi's low-key in the past few days, he probably encountered a lot of depressing things, which is no different from everyone else. All of a sudden, everyone in the academy knew about him.

It wasn't until two or three days later that a series of events happened that everyone realized that Ning Yi's situation at this time was too different from what they imagined......

The words are divided into two ends, as Qu Weiqing is concerned, the reason why he suddenly found trouble with Ning Yi is not because of what a high-sounding reason.

As a literati who entered the city with the Fang La Yi Army, some were like him, and they didn't take the errands in the academy seriously, and some preferred to get close to the small family members of these generals' families. For example, Guo Peiying, whom he knew, was originally also a staff member, and after being named in the academy, he concentrated on teaching, this Guo Peiying attaches importance to more long-term interests, once the Yongle Dynasty really gains a firm foothold, these children, I am afraid that they will all be relatives of the emperor in the future, and now they can become their teachers, which is really a beautiful difference. ..., Qu Weiqing also knows the Tao, but he prefers to become a relative of the emperor directly than a teacher who becomes a relative of the emperor. Now that the power of the court has not yet been finalized, he operates under the command of Wen Kerang, and he is quite promising, and he may not be able to have a direct career in the future.

But of course, there is no need to put Ji Dan in a basket, so occasionally he will come to the academy and satirize those great Confucians or something as a joy in life. He didn't have much feeling for these great Confucians. Having knowledge does not mean that you can tame these children who originally came out of the countryside and even saw blood, and the way of training students in the past is useless here, because among these students, some are even fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are so burly and tall that they have even killed people with their own hands, and they have not yet grown into real children.

The more knowledgeable the Confucian, the more unable to adapt to these. Heaven and Earth Monarch have been saying it for so long, and they themselves believe it, and they will never bend to the students. Relatively speaking, people like Guo Peiying, even if they are not so knowledgeable, at least they will not be so pretentious in teaching students, and it is easier to get the favor of students. And the reason why he suddenly found Ning Yi today was because Guo Peiying suddenly heard some words between students, and then talked to Qu Weiqing.

Those remarks were basically about the new "Mr. Ning", but within a few days, some people said that his lectures were interesting and engaging, much more interesting than all the gentlemen in the academy. The two called the students to inquire carefully, only to realize that the young Mr. Ning was simply unrestrained, and it sounded like he had won the hearts of the students with the attitude of a storyteller.

Of course, if he listened to it in person, he might know that Ning Yi's lecture was not the same thing, he had been a teacher in Jiangning for so long, and although he talked about the class, although he was imaginative, he was actually still on the topic. Of course, at this time, for Qu Weiqing and others, for a young person, there is naturally no need to pay too much attention to it, since they have an impression, they will identify it like that.

Everyone said that there was no injustice or hatred, but suddenly there was such a person, as a teacher, who was so inferior in the "likable" item, it always felt like someone reached over and took Ji eggs in their basket. Guo Peiying is more particular, so Qu Weiqing went over and scolded directly. The next day, I inquired with the mountain chief again, and the result was interesting, that Ning Liheng's identity turned out to be a prisoner.

For this matter, there are not many people who know Lu Dao on the mountain chief's side, and Feng Yongli can't inquire about some things, but Ning Yi lives behind the academy, and there is even a maid who follows, both of them are guarded, and they don't know how Lu Dao will fall. But since this is the case, Qu Weiqing's heart is even more open, and this morning, he pulled Guo Peiying to listen to Ning Yi's class. Because he felt that since he was a captive, Ning Yi's attitude yesterday was too rude to him, and if he didn't change it today, he would make him look good.

The two went to the side of the classroom and listened to a few words, in the living room, Ning Liheng was really still telling the story, the story had come to an end, and after a slight pause, Qu Weiqing wanted to rush in. At this time, it was probably a student in the living room who stood up and asked a question.

"Hey, Mr. Ning, I went back yesterday and asked my father, and he said that you helped the officers and soldiers in Huzhou defeat thousands of us. Is there such a thing? ”。

Qu Weiqing and Guo Peiying were both stunned, and the classroom was also slightly quiet, and then someone shouted: "You are a bad person!?" ”

Then another child said: "I also asked, said Mr. Ning's name, Uncle said that Mr. Ning led a team of remnants in Huzhou to defeat the five armies led by An Xifu, and relied on Mr. Lu alone, defeated General Lu Sheath, General Yao Yi Yao and General Xue Dounan Xue Three teams, General Yao and General Xue were killed by Mr. Yao, General Yao always went against the uncle, and the uncle said that he died well. The uncle also said that Mr. knows martial arts, which is very powerful, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him a bloody man. Sir, do you dare to fight with Qi Dazhuang...... He always said that he was the best in the world and bullied us ......"

Qu Weiqing was in front at this time, almost rushing in with a mén threshold, and when he heard such a murderous nickname as "Bloody Hand Man Slaughter", he shrank back slightly for a while...... (To be continued.) )……，
