Chapter 33: The Troubles of the Three Apprentices
Thirteen years of Hongzhi, cold dew.
Compared to previous years, the weather this year is colder.
The seven sons of Dayan Khan, the little Tatar prince, showed their fangs of ambition after returning to the capital.
The internal fighting and friction on the surface and secretly are constant, even if Dayan Khan is suppressing it, it can't relieve the internal pressure.
In particular, Tulu Borot, who was named the horn of the capital, relied on the recognition of the Ming Dynasty to gain the support of many ministers, and was hostile to other competitors, which made the internal chaos of Tatar into a pot of porridge, and he had no energy to go south in a short time.
When many ministers in the court learned about it, they also praised Du Shen.
Of course, some people think that it is just a coincidence, and it is not really talented.
When this kind of remark came out, the ministers would not say anything, but those who were very fond of quills and chalk, and even hung up a trend in the capital, were very dissatisfied.
As a result, those scholars who thought that Du Shen was in vain found that the walls of their houses were often patronized, and the inscriptions and paintings were not all small, and some of them directly poured urine and served, which made people miserable.
For a while, there were more remarks about Du Shen, and the business of the stationery store became even more popular.
In terms of dividends alone, there are more than 1,000 taels in Du Shen's hands.
The big boss Emperor Hongzhi was quite satisfied with this, and with a wave of his hand, he set aside all the silver dividends, and along Baoding and other populous places, they came to bloom everywhere and opened the store wider.
But Du Shen didn't have the energy to take care of these anymore, because the three apprentices were in trouble.
……
Proofreading.
This is the practice since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu has had this rule.
The school review is specially set up for the martial artists, in order to let the descendants of the martial artists not become the children of the martial arts, and the generation is not as good as the generation.
At first, the school examination was martial arts and the art of war, but with the decline of military generals and the rise of Wenchen, many of them were reduced to passing the motions, but it was the set of Wenchen, and more were tested.
Regarding the matter of the proofreading, although Du Shen knew that Wuxun's children had to participate when they were sixteen years old, the specific details were not clear, after all, these were basically mentioned in the history books, and they would not be described too much.
In the private school, the master and apprentice sit down.
Looking at the three apprentices, Du Shen took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "So, this review, the three of you have to go?" ”
Zhang Hao frowned sadly, lost his steady, and sighed: "If you go back to the master, you should have gone to the school review two years ago, when the disciple heard that the school review was very hard, he said that he was sick and shirked, if he didn't go again this year, my father was afraid that he would beat me to death." ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
When Du Shen heard this, he almost didn't swallow a sip of tea, and he choked and coughed.
Zhang Hao's face turned red and he lowered his head in shame.
"Alas...... You really have to go. ”
As he spoke, Du Shen looked at Zhao Xiu and Xu Pengju again.
The eldest apprentice Zhang Hao is forgotten, before he reformed himself, he was known as a tyrant in the scourge of the capital, and it is not surprising that he did something like a moth.
The second apprentice Zhao Xiu and the third apprentice Xu Pengju shouldn't be like this, right?
Zhao Xiu lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Du Shen's eyes.
"The apprentice participated in a school review last year, and the Xiangcheng Bo Li Yan, who presided over the school review, was at odds with my father, and it happened that his son Li Quanli also participated in the school review, and the apprentice ......."
The corners of Du Shen's mouth twitched wildly, and he was shocked: "You did it with someone?" ”
Zhao Xiu nodded embarrassedly, and then lowered his head even more.
Outstanding......
Du Shen couldn't help but hold his forehead, and asked again, "And then?" Are you hurt? ”
Zhao Xiu raised his head proudly, and said with great confidence: "Of course not, how could Li Quanli be the opponent of the apprentice, he was beaten by me with three punches and two feet, and the apprentice never touched it at all." ”
Du Shen sighed.
Okay......
"What about you? Pengju, what's the matter with you? You're the same age as Xiuyuan, so you should have participated last year! ”
Xu Pengju scratched his head, as if he was nostalgic and seemed to be thinking.
"In vain...... The apprentice had a good relationship with Senior Brother Xiuyuan, and when he saw him beating people, he followed. ”
Du Shen smiled reluctantly, he could probably think of the scene at that time.
"So, this year, all three of you have a group, you all have to participate, right?"
The three of them said in unison: "Exactly!" ”
Du Shen faintly hurt.
To say that the three apprentices under his disciple were all top scourges before, doing everything but good things.
It's just that they are famous again, and their backgrounds are surprisingly big, and their fathers are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and no one dares to care, and no one dares to move.
After arriving at their own door, their temper and temperament have indeed sharpened a lot, and they can barely be regarded as individuals...... Right?
But that doesn't overshadow their past achievements!
Now I have to proofread it again, in case I make another mistake and make some amazing moves, where will I put my face?
When Du Shen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
During the review, hundreds of civil and military officials will be present, and Emperor Hongzhi will also come to observe, if something happens, such as beating people again, how will the world view him?
The so-called teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, and he is a famous teacher, but he can't be ruined!
God knows, Du Shen has built the academy soon, thinking of coming to a big wave, recruiting more students, successfully advancing from a history teacher to the principal of the school, walking to the pinnacle of life, and living a beautiful life.
If these three stupid apprentices are stirred up, his intestines will be repentant.
Du Shenhou was afraid, he absolutely couldn't let that kind of thing happen.
"In vain! Can teachers participate in this school reading!? ”
Zhao Xiu and Xu Pengju shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
And Zhang Hao is an old qualification for proofreading, and he arched his hand and said: "Of course, Shizun is also a person with official status, although he does not need to go to court, but he can also observe." ”
Du Shen nodded with a straight face: "In this case, then the teacher will accompany you on a trip, if you have any inappropriate behavior in the school review, you will be driven out of the teacher's door, and you will lose the face of being a teacher." ”
Zhang Hao and others were ashamed, how dare they disobey: "I will not be disappointed." ”
……
The next day, the Xiyuan campus.
In the early years, it was a place for royal cavalry shooting, and the ground was very neatly groomed.
The hundred officials sat in turn, led by the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Duke of Wei Xu Gongfu, the Xin Cheng Bo Zhao Jin, and the four cabinet ministers, Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Ma Dongyang.
As for Du Shen, with his official position from the eighth grade, he can only sit at the bottom, and even Xiao Mazha is brought by himself.
With the Wuxun disciples who came to the school to read wearing shiny chain mail, holding horizontal knives, leading horses to the center of the school, Emperor Hongzhi also came with the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.
The officials stood up and saluted: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
The same is true for Du Shen, who does not dare to overstep.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded majestically, stretched out his hand and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After that, Emperor Hongzhi walked to the throne and sat down, Zhu Houzhao sat on the left side, and then the guards in the distance lit wolf smoke, and Xiangcheng Bo Li Yan, who presided over the proofreading, stood up and recited the prayer.
After all the rituals have been completed.
Emperor Hongzhi ordered: "The school review begins!" ”
