It's not too early to get back to the house, just in time for the sun to set, just in time for dinner. After eating, tidy up a little, it will be dark, the lamp oil is not cheap, and you will rest early if you have nothing to do.

This kind of life of sleeping after dark, Yang Congyi has long been accustomed to it, in Taihu Lake and Huaining, there is no nightlife, if you want to have more time to study, you can get up early.

There are only two people in the house, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun, and it is inconvenient to talk much during sleeping time, and they don't care about the noise next door, so they fall asleep after a while. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the sound of other people returning to his room, so he turned his head and fell asleep again.

Yin woke up on time, there was moonlight, the outside of the house was bright, Yang Congyi put on his clothes and gently walked out of the fasting house. Yesterday, I saw that there is a martial arts arena in the martial arts school, and it is relatively spacious, and now I am a martial arts student, and I have plenty of time, so there should be no problem in practicing in the morning and evening.

A full moon hung in the sky, the light sprinkled all over the earth, the breeze came slowly, and there was a little coolness, the martial arts compound was unusually quiet, and everything was recuperating.

strolled to the martial arts arena, but saw that there were already people practicing swords under the moon. When he got closer, it seemed to be Tang Xun, he looked at it carefully for a while, and when he finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he said, "Brother Tang is so early." ”

The person who practiced the sword was Tang Xun, and he only heard him say: "Brother Yang, it turned out to be you, and you got up so early." Come to practice martial arts? ”

Yang Congyi moved his wrists, arms, waist, legs and feet, and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, but I saw that there was everything here yesterday, and if anyone didn't see it early in the morning, I came to take a look." After saying that, he took out a spear from the weapon rack on the sidelines.

The waist is accumulated, the arm is gently shaken, first shake a few spear flowers, find the feeling, and then the spear dances, first practice a set of Yuejia spear skills, natural and smooth, quite murderous. After a set of practice, try to practice the spear skills learned by the incense burner peak, although it is not particularly proficient, but it is also smart and elegant.

The two of them practiced their own work, one practiced guns, the other practiced swords, and occasionally stopped to watch, only applauding, not making too many comments.

After practicing for more than an hour, the sky slowly brightened, and when I was a little tired, I sat down to meditate and pranayama, and then continued to practice when the tiredness was gone.

As soon as the morning dawned, it didn't take long for many people to come to the martial arts arena one after another, and they should all be martial arts students, practicing knives, sticks, swords, guns, hammers, hammers, halberds, and boxing. For a while, the originally large martial arts arena was full and overcrowded, and those who used long weapons couldn't let go of their hands and feet.

Seeing this, Yang Congyi also put away the spear, left the martial arts arena, went back to wash up, and prepared to read the book.

Yesterday I already knew that the place where the class would be held every day in the future was in the lecture hall, and he took a few military books and came to the lecture hall.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the lecture hall, I found that the door had been opened, and it seemed that someone had arrived. I can't help but think, it's not like what Master Chen said, these are all the children of official eunuchs who don't learn and don't know how to learn, and there are still many who are willing to learn. The martial arts arena is full of people, I hope it won't be the same here, if everyone is so hard, he won't have much confidence in the martial arts test.

Pushing the door in, I felt a little more at ease, and there were only six or seven people, sitting at the back of the classroom in twos and threes. When he was in college, Yang Congyi never sat in the front, but now it is different, entering the martial arts school is for the future of officials, you need to study hard and behave well, the teacher who sits in the back can't pay attention, and of course you can't hear the lecture clearly. He didn't look much and sat straight in the middle of the first row, closest to the podium.

Fang Yi sat down, took out "The Art of War", opened it, just read a few words, only to feel that someone was approaching, and when he looked up, he saw that it was an examiner who gave him the exam yesterday, and immediately got up and saluted: "Morning, sir." ”

The examiner nodded lightly, walked up to the podium, sat down at the table, stretched out his hand to pick up the pen, and said in a loud voice: "How old you are, where do you live, report your name." ”

Yang Congyi immediately replied: "Student Yang Congyi, who lives in Huangmei County, Qizhou, is twenty-two this year. ”

The examiner didn't raise his head, and said in a loud voice: "Be louder, say it again." ”

It's impossible not to hear it so closely, Yang Congyi could only think to himself, so naturally he didn't dare to ask, so he had to reply loudly: "Student Yang Congyi, who lives in Huangmei County, Qizhou, has two of the twenty-two this year. ”

"Okay, sit down and read," the examiner put down his pen after writing, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.

Yang Congyi sat down, secretly shouting luck in his heart, is this here to conduct a surprise inspection? I guess I only had it when I was in high school. But fortunately, I didn't come very late, and I was still in the top ten. In this way, I don't think about it anymore and read my book with peace of mind.

Not long after, someone came in again, Yang Congyi peeked at it, and saw that it was Tang Xun, and immediately felt that this kid was also lucky, within ten.

"Hello sir." After Tang Xun saluted, he saw Yang Congyi sitting in the front row, so he also sat down in the middle of the front row, and the two positions in the middle of the first row were all occupied by them.

"How old you are, where do you live, report your name." The examiner raised his pen again and asked loudly.

"The student is Tang Xun of Jianpu County, Nanjian Prefecture, and he is eighteen years old."

"Be louder." The examiner reminded again.

"The student is Tang Xun of Jianpu County, Nanjian Prefecture, and he is eighteen years old." Tang Xun was also a little confused, so close, couldn't the examiner hear it? Of course, he didn't dare to ask.

waited for the examiner to put down the pen before letting Tang Xun sit down.

Tang Xun looked at Yang Congyi, his face full of questions. Yang Congyi asked him not to ask more, and motioned him to hurry up and read the book.

The two didn't say a word, they each concentrated on reading, and they didn't care how the examiner on the stage stared at them,

Yang Congyi finished reading the marching chapter, then the terrain chapter, and then the nine places chapter, most of the hours passed, and he didn't see anything from the examiner, nor did he see any other students coming. said that the class started early in the morning, and the application time was more than halfway, and it was almost time, but there was only one examiner on the stage, and the lecture had not yet started, so I didn't know what I was waiting for, and I didn't start until the students arrived? Gentlemen are really responsible.

In desperation, he could only continue to read the book, continue to look back, saw half of the fire attack chapter, and only listened to the commotion outside the martial arts hall, and the movement was nine times out of ten that the other students came, and finally they could go to class well, Yang Congyi was relaxed for a while, and he didn't dare to look up when he was stared at by the examiner, which was really uncomfortable.

"Don't make a noise, come in one by one." The examiner said loudly to the door.

As soon as the other students arrived at the door, they saw that Mr. was on the podium, and naturally they did not dare to make a mistake, and they all fell silent in a few breaths.

When the students outside the door heard the command, a person immediately came in, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard the examiner say loudly: "Tell out loud your place of origin, name and age, and then find a place to sit down." ”

"Yangzhou Zhang Zongyi, five out of twenty." After reporting his name, he immediately walked to the back and found a place to sit down.

"Next."

"Yangzhou Zhang Zongliang, eight out of twenty."

"Next."

"Yangzhou Zhang Zongxian, there is one in twenty."

"Next."

"Shaoxing Shen Gui, four out of thirty."

"Next."

"Jiaxing Song Qiao, nine out of twenty."

"Next."

"Changzhou Zhao Xi, eight out of thirty."

"Next."

"Jiangyin Chen Hui, five out of twenty."

"Next."

"Lin'an Li Chengwen, XVII."

"Next."

"Sizhou Qin Hao, six out of forty."

"Next."

"Ezhou Liu Xianzhong, nine out of twenty."

"Next."

。。。。。。

This loud and loud common name and surname report makes people unable to read books at all, so Yang Congyi simply stopped reading it, and sat silently to listen to where these classmates are from, so as to have a general understanding.

After listening to dozens of people, I found that they all seemed to be not too far from Lin'an, the westernmost but Jiangling, the southernmost Yuzhou, and the northernmost in Chuzhou, with different ages, the youngest was in his teens, and the oldest was almost fifty, and he still came to martial arts, and his jaw dropped, isn't it obvious that he has mixed his academic qualifications, and it is time to retire when he gets his academic qualifications after studying, it is completely a waste of the court's money, and I don't know how to pass the entrance examination.

After everyone reported their names, half an hour had passed, Yang Congyi looked back and saw that the classroom was almost full, full of people, just like a big class in college, the teacher did not bring amplification equipment, the classroom was a little noisy, and it would be hellish if you could hear the lecture when you sat in the back. But fortunately, he came early and grabbed the front position, and he didn't understand a lot of things in the military book, so it was best to have a gentleman to explain.

After the last student sat down, the examiner put down the brush in his hand, counted the roster, and said loudly: "This time the martial arts school is reopened, and the enrollment staff is wide, and a total of ninety-one people are admitted, and today there are seventy-three people. ”

As soon as the examiner spoke, the lecture hall immediately fell silent

I only heard the examiner say again: "I, Zhao Min, the supervisor of Guozijian, all the students have already seen me, so I won't introduce much." You waited for you to come from Tiannan and Haibei to talk about Wutang, what is the matter? Ask yourselves. Although the martial arts school was originally built, it was far less large than the Taixue, but it was also built by the saint himself. ”

Zhao Jiancheng asked two questions in a row, but no one answered.

He continued: "Martial arts have been established for many years, and since the Jingkang Rebellion, martial arts have been abolished. In the twelfth year of Shaoxing, Taixue was rebuilt, and it has been four years since then, with more than 700 students, and martial arts has never been restored. After the southern crossing, the talent gradually withered, and in recent years, there were no available people in the army, and the people who entered Hebei were eyeing each other, and the Xia people were in the northwest, salivating. Although peace has been negotiated, there are also sorrows. Therefore, the holy edict said that the civil and military are together, telling everyone that the civil and military are equally important, and they should not be abandoned, and the study of martial arts should be restored. In this way, you can sit here today and lecture in the martial arts hall. The Great Song Dynasty encountered a crisis, the Holy Strength turned the tide, but now there is still half of the country in the hands of the Jin people, the Holy Day and Night is looking forward to the restoration of the Central Plains, today's martial arts have been completed, you must study diligently, in order to live up to the grace of the Holy Restoration of martial arts, one day, you and so on, you will succeed in learning, lead the army to restore the Central Plains, as a great Song Dynasty hero, famous for thousands of years! ”

"Drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains!" Yang Congyi saw that after the supervisor finished speaking, he remembered this sentence, and blurted out in front of everyone. Although the sound was not very loud, almost no one could hear it because it was so quiet in the lecture hall. The supervisor was talking, and he didn't let anyone speak, so he could speak casually. Yang Congyi regretted it very much, not because he interjected, but because he was afraid of being heard by someone who cared about it.

Zhao Jiancheng was slightly stunned when he heard someone speak, and then said in a loud voice: "Yes, drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains!" This is the original intention of rebuilding martial arts, you must keep it in mind, and do not disappoint the ardent expectations of the saints! ”

Before he was allowed to speak, the crowd was silent.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Jian Cheng immediately said: "Okay, you can go to the court, and come back in two quarters of an hour to speak." ”

Everyone got up and went out, and the martial arts hall was empty after a while.

"Brother Yang, aren't you hungry? Let's go. Tang Xun saw Yang Congyi sitting there in a daze, so he called him.

Yang Congyi came back to his senses, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that everyone was gone, so he quickly got up and went out with Tang Xun.
