Deng Shaoyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and Deng Wenming, the prince of the world, kept talking about the whiteness of the East, explained a lot of details, and finally said after a while: "When the morning dawns later, you immediately go to Guozijian to ask to see Yang Gong, and say that I will come to visit later." ”

Deng Wenming said with some concern: "Father, you are weak, you should recuperate at home, just let your son do the things outside..."

"Anything else is fine, but this thing can't." Deng Shaoyu straightened his stiff back, took a deep breath and said, "What kind of person is Yang Gong, if he doesn't go to his father in person, how can he be sincere?" ”

"But father, didn't what we just said want to show our attitude to Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli?" Deng Wenming was puzzled, "What does this have to do with Yang Gong?" ”

"Then tell me, how to show attitude?"

"You can first summon the commanders of the four guards of Jinwu and the thousand households, and ask them to obey the orders of the military department." Deng Wenming said, "When necessary, you can write a letter to ask for an invitation, ask these people to name them, and then present them to Yuan Keli." Won't the Holy One understand our thoughts? ”

"Civilization, if you really do this, our Deng family will be in trouble!" Deng Shaoyu's face sank like water.

"But why?"

"The saint originally suspected that we were involved with the Nanjing Wei, and you are tantamount to not recruiting yourself!" Deng Shaoyu's voice was unusually old and cold, "In this way, even if the saint does not move our Deng family for the time being, there will always be a day when the autumn will settle accounts in the future!" ”

"That's... So what to do? Deng Wenming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Those people in the Jinwu Four Guards, my father doesn't know it, they are used to flying and domineering, and they have a close relationship with other guards. If we don't speak, they will definitely think that the Deng family is acquiescing to Chang Yinxu's approach. When something happens, we have to be involved in the end. If he speaks, as his father said, it will arouse the suspicion of the saints. How good is that? ”

"Don't say anything to those people, it's not right to say anything." Deng Shaoyu said thoughtfully, "If they want to see their father or you these days, they will not see them at all." If they are smart enough, they will act prudently. If we can't see through it, then we can't save them, even if it bites us in the future, we have a way to get rid of it. There is no need to see Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli, they won't really believe what we say. Now the only one who can borrow is Yang Gong, you go! ”

Deng Wenming had to be ordered to withdraw from the courtyard, and as soon as the day dawned, he didn't even have the heart to eat breakfast, so he set up a sedan chair and went straight to Nanjing Guozijian.

Nanjing Guozijian, also known as Ying Tianfu Academy, is one of the most magnificent buildings in Nanjing, is the highest institution of learning in the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty, with nearly 10,000 students studying here, with the goal of passing the imperial examination and entering the official career.

Don't look at Deng Wenming, who has been living in Nanjing since he was born, but Guozijian has never been there. He walked and looked in the sedan chair, and saw that this school reached Jiming Mountain in the north, entered the Xianghe River in the west, and reached the Pearl Bridge in the south, covering an extremely wide area, and the building was also extremely grand. Through the vermilion courtyard wall, you can see the tall and straight roof of the main hall Yilun Hall.

After getting off the sedan chair and passing through the gate of Guozijian, Deng Wenming entered through the side door, passed through the library pavilions on the left and right sides, and passed the first courtyard, and the scene in front of him surprised him even more.

I saw that in the open courtyard, at least hundreds of prisoners were collectively boxing, and the sound of shouting was endless. At this time, it was only early in the morning, and the weather was still very cold, but these students were sweating all over their bodies, which was completely different from those readers who shook their heads and mouthed full of words in Deng Wenming's impression.

Walking through the crowd, I saw a person sitting in front of the door of Yilun Hall, with a thin figure, a dark complexion, and the clothes below the knee were empty, obviously without feet. But his expression was chic and free, and from time to time he pointed to a certain student and said, "You, work harder!" If you can't even fight well, you will become an official, but you are also a mediocre official and a lazy official, harming the country and yourself! ”

Deng Wenming hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Yang Gong is on top, and the student Deng Wenming is polite." ”

The "Yang Gong" in his mouth is actually the head of the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin" who is famous all over the world, and the current Nanjing Guozi Priest Yang Lian. There are many people with the surname Yang in Nanjing, and there are also many elderly officials with the surname Yang, but when it comes to "Yang Gong", everyone knows that it refers to Yang Lian, and Yang Lian's fame is so great, which can be seen.

At this time, Yang Lian looked at Deng Wenming, and said in a light tone: "It turned out to be the prince of Dingyuan, what a rare guest." Disabled people are far away, and I hope that the son of the world will not be surprised. ”

As soon as Deng Wenming heard Yang Lian's tone, he knew that the other party was not interested in him, and secretly said in his heart that his father was really prescient, this Lord Yang even dared to participate in Wei Zhongxian back then, how could he put himself in his eyes.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Yang Lian said bluntly: "After your mansion is a lord, the eldest son can attack the lord, and the other sons can also attack the martial arts." Guozijian is a place for students to study in order to enter the office, I don't know what the prince is here for? ”

Deng Wenming secretly screamed in his heart, looking at this posture, if it was nothing serious, Yang Lian would really give himself an eviction order. So he hurriedly smiled and said: "The student is just a yellow-mouthed child, how dare he come to Guozijian to disturb Yang Gong's teaching." It was really my father who wanted to come to visit Yang Gong, but he was afraid that he would be presumptuous, and he had a chronic illness, so the students came to pay a word first. If Yang Gong has time, the student will return to his father, and his father will come. ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Dingyuan is sick, and he has not left the mansion for several years, so I don't know what happened to deign to come to see Yang?" Of course, Yang welcomes it, and when Dingyuan Hou comes, he will be greeted when he is demoted..."

Deng Wenming hurriedly whispered: "When the students came, my father specially told me not to publicize and not to work Yang Gong. After an hour, just come in like a student. ”

Yang Lian was even more surprised, and ordered: "That's all for today's morning." I have something to do today, so after breakfast, I will change to geography and mathematics, and I will talk about "Mencius" in the evening class when I have time. ”

Deng Wenming was confused and said: "Dare to ask Yang Gong, although the student is stupid, he has also read books for several years, although he has not read the four books and five classics, he knows the name." But I don't know what kind of knowledge this geography and mathematics is? ”

Yang Lianxu smiled and said, "Oh, this is a new course for the Guozijian today. Geography is the study of directions, mountains and rivers, and meteorology, not feng shui, which must be known to officials; Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, and change, and it is not as simple as arithmetic. This year, Enke has gained a lot of knowledge in this area, and if you don't learn, you will suffer! ”

Deng Wenming was even more surprised. He originally wanted to take advantage of his father's absence to have a good visit in the Guozijian, but he didn't expect that just a moment later, the domestic servant came to say: "Master Hou has arrived." ”
