The two students arrived at the gate of the academy, dismounted and waved to Zhang Yunwen: "Student Qin Feng Qin Yangqing, student Fan Cheng Fan Zhengming has seen Master Zhang!" ”

Seeing that the two of them behaved quite decently and politely, Zhang Yunwen nodded immediately and returned the salute.

After the two of them saluted, Qin Feng said to the students around him: "Fellow students, everyone listen to me, if today's matter continues to be such a stalemate, it will be bad for us, Lord Zhang, and Your Majesty, so it is better to step down for the time being, and I and Brother Zhengming will deal with this matter, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer!" I wonder what you think? ”

Those students immediately said: "If Brother Yang Qing and Brother Zhengming come to deal with this matter, of course everyone can rest assured!" ”

"That's it, who doesn't know the names of the two brothers, we don't know it, you guys will deal with it, we are very relieved!"

And at the beginning, the leading student said: "Who knows if the two of you will succumb to that Zhang, well, Lord Zhang's official authority!" ”

That Fan Cheng immediately glared at him, and shouted at the man: "Li Yunrui, what do you mean by this!" Mencius said: 'I am good at nurturing my heroic spirit!' 'As long as there is a righteous spirit in my heart, what kind of official authority and obscenity, will I be afraid!' ”

Li Yunrui's face froze, but he couldn't hold it anymore. Flicked his sleeves, got up and walked outside: "I want to take care of you, I don't care anyway!" ”

Zhang Yunwen saw the commotion at the scene, and immediately said loudly: "Don't you want me to give you an explanation?" That's what I'm giving you today! The four students who beat people have been expelled from the academy! I wonder if you are satisfied with this explanation? ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Qin Feng took the lead: "Master Zhang is impartial and decisive, upright and upright, and the students admire!" ”

However, at this time, Li Yunrui, who walked to the periphery, said in a dark voice: "He said yes, who knows if it's true or not!" However, as soon as the words fell, Fan Cheng said: "Li Yunrui, don't talk nonsense!" What is the identity of Lord Zhang, will he still lie to us! ”

At this moment, I saw four soldiers who had put away their bags and slowly walked to the door.

There was a moment of silence. Many people know these four people, they are the murderers of the beaters, and looking at their current appearance, it seems that they have really been expelled from the academy. However, the students felt that something was wrong, and although the four of them had expressions of some frustration, why did they have a hint of a smile in their eyes?

Seeing such a situation, Li Yunrui had no excuse, so he had to mutter: "Since Master Zhang is so trustworthy, why did he drive Brother Deyan out of Chang'an?" ”

Although it was a mutter, the sound was heard by everyone around him. For a while, Tai Xue's eyes were full of unkindness when he looked at Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen took a deep look at this Li Yunrui, this bastard has been there to tell right and wrong, but he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and now he is attacking himself again, does he have ulterior motives?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunwen said loudly: "What kind of character is Zhao Deyan, who is in the camp and is keen on fame and fortune. At that poetry meeting, he was even more unsparing, and tried his best to express himself and welcome His Majesty. Lao Tzu is a military general, but he can't get used to those who pretend to be hypocritical! As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Yunrui. The latter immediately lowered his head and looked at the ants on the ground.

This rude gesture was obviously disgusted by some of the students, and more than a dozen people turned to leave. Li Yunrui looked around and left as well.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the remaining students and said, "The matter is over here, why don't you leave?" ”

Qin Feng stood up and said: "Master Zhang's poetry is amazing, first there is a song of Chang'an's ancient meaning, which shocked Chang'an, and then there is an anonymous nostalgic poem, which shocks the hearts of my generation. I am fortunate to meet Mr. Zhang today, and I would like to ask you to write a poem for us! ”

At that moment, Fan Cheng and the other students looked at Zhang Yunwen one after another.

Zhang Yunwen pondered for a moment and said loudly: "The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and my heart is uneven. Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, and rode around the dragon city. The snow is dark and the flag is painted, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. Rather be a centurion than a scholar! ”

After chanting, he said to all the students: "This song "From the Army", you and I encourage together!" ”

And the group of students were immersed in the artistic conception of the poem at the moment, chewing repeatedly, only to feel the pride in their chests. Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, everyone seemed to wake up all of a sudden.

That Qin Feng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhang, I don't know if your military academy still recruits students?" If it is an enrollment, Qin Feng is willing to enter the academy to serve in the army and listen to orders under the command of adults! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that it was Zhang Yunwen, and Fan Cheng and the others who were with him couldn't help but be a little surprised. Fan Cheng said in surprise: "Brother Yangqing, why are you doing this?" Why did you suddenly want to join the army? ”

Qin Feng said: "When I read "The Biography of Ban Chao" since I was a child, I always thought that one day I would be able to go to the plane from Rong. A good man should dominate the world, looking for a marquis three thousand miles away. Today, I listened to General Zhang's poem "From the Army", and it was a good "better to be a centurion than a scholar". Master Zhang is a model for my generation! ”

The corners of Zhang Yunwen's mouth suddenly curved, and he said with a smile: "Of course it is better for Yang Qing to have such ambitions." To tell you the truth, at the beginning of the new year, our military academy wants to recruit 100 people to train as staff officers. If you can complete three years of study, you can not only enter His Majesty's General Staff, but also serve as a staff officer in the Twelve Guards. If Yang Qing wants to join the army, he can take the road of staff officer. ”

Qin Feng suddenly gave a long sigh: "Okay!" Then I, Qin Feng, will come to the academy tomorrow to sign up! ”

When the rest of the students heard that they could enter His Majesty's Staff House or serve as a staff officer in the Twelve Guards, their eyes suddenly lit up, and some of them were already planning to sign up with Qin Feng tomorrow.

After sending this group of students, Zhang Yunwen returned to the academy and instructed him to recruit staff officers. This was the result of his whim, and he neither discussed it with the instructors nor reported it to Li Shimin, so it was decided.

After doing these things, Zhang Yunwen said to Zheng Fanglian and the others beside him: "Okay, although a few of you are no longer students in the academy, you will not be wronged as my own soldiers. ”

Zheng Fanglian and the others said: "My subordinates haven't thought about getting promoted or making a fortune, I just hope that your adults can pass on your skills to us!" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "I didn't expect your ambition to be small!" But a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. As long as you can endure hardship, I will teach you! ”

Several people hurriedly said: "Eat, eat, we can suffer!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

"Well, my lord, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going home, General Ben should be thinking behind closed doors at this moment, not appearing here."

However, Zhang Yunwen's idea of going home to rest still did not come true, Zhang Yunwen had just returned home and arranged for the four of them to live in the outer courtyard, when the palace attendants came. It was Zhang Yunwen's acquaintance Liu Xian.

So, Zhang Yunwen, who hadn't had time to take a sip of tea, hurried to the palace again.

"Hehe, Yunwen, you handled this matter well!" Li Shimin said with a smile, "Not only did I block the mouths of those Confucian students and make the academy stable, but I also pulled a few people to the academy before leaving, which is really good!" Li Shimin praised as soon as he saw Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen modestly and sat opposite Li Shimin.

"Yunwen, you said those Confucian students are really qualified for the position of staff officer?" Li Shimin began to get to the point. He was a little puzzled by Zhang Yunwen's choice of those students as staff officers.

Zhang Yunwen smiled bitterly: "This is also something that can't be helped!" In fact, the best staff officers are those old generals who have retired from the battlefield, but I don't have so many idle generals in Datang now. There are also those mid-level officers who have experienced in the battlefield, as long as they have a little training, they are also qualified staff officers. And this kind of student who has never been on the battlefield but can read and hyphenate can only be said to be reluctant. As long as you go to the battlefield a few times, those who can survive can become qualified staff officers. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Now there is only a shelf in this staff house, except for a few old guys, there is not even an errand runner." When the time comes, the staff officers you have trained will have to be transferred. ”

"Of course, you can also intern if you are transferred to the General Staff!"

After dealing with Li Shimin, Zhang Yunwen was ordered to continue to go home and think about it behind closed doors. In this way, Zhang Yunwen has been at home for ten days. In the remaining days, Zhang Yunwen began to teach Zheng Fanglian and others the Baji boxing method, and the latter gradually changed his name to Master Shi. Hearing this familiar word, isn't it the one he has been shouting in front of Wei Chigong, I can't imagine that someone is calling him master now, which really makes Zhang Yunwen a little excited.

And on the second day of Zhang Yunwen's homecoming, Qin Feng and Fan Cheng took more than a dozen Tai students to the Military Academy to sign up. An instructor also went to Zhang Yunwen's office and asked how the staff officer should teach.

Zhang Yunwen immediately handed him a set of textbooks compiled before, and then said: "It's still the same as the soldiers, first come to military training for half a year, and then study these theoretical textbooks!" ”

Unconsciously, the first year of Zhenguan passed like this. Zhang Yunwen occasionally stared at the sky in a daze, looking at the snowflakes falling down, feeling the increasingly strong atmosphere of the New Year in Chang'an City, and his heart suddenly became clear.

What we are guarding is not the Tang Empire under this sky; What is protected is not the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, seeing the smiles on the faces of passers-by, the happy figures of children running and playing on the street, and even the smiling faces that poke their heads out of the Goolan Lezhai and the beggars covered in dirt at the corner of the street, in Zhang Yunwen's eyes, it seems so harmonious and solemn.

In the first month, Chang'an City is very lively. Especially on the fifteenth day, the envoy of the subject country paid a visit to the Linde Hall of the New Year, which gave Li Shimin enough face, and as soon as Li Shimin was happy, the entire Chang'an was immersed in a sea of joy.

Throughout the New Year, Zhang Yunwen was busy socializing, greeting the New Year everywhere or waiting for people at home to come to pay New Year's greetings, so it has been fifteen and entered February.

At this time, the first scientific expedition in the Zhenguan period was about to begin. However, this imperial examination has nothing to do with Zhang Yunwen, and he is anxiously preparing for the crown ceremony at this moment.
