Chapter 41
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )
"Hey, the sun is coming out of the west today? Brother Shenxian, you actually don't lock yourself in the attic anymore to read books? ”
Wang Shouwen was quite surprised and said, "Where does Brother Shenxian want to play?" Shenyu Pavilion, or Purple Cloud Pavilion? I am familiar with the girls in these two places, and you are satisfied with the promise of Brother Shenxian. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xie Shen glanced at him angrily and said, "Brother Shouwen, you only have these in your head, I said that I would go out and have fun and I didn't ask you to go to the kiln......"
Xie Pi laughed out loud when he heard this.
"Presumably, Brother Shouwen has been holding back these days, and his mood is irritable. However, Brother Shouren should not return to Yuyao in a short period of time, and Brother Shouwen is not in a hurry to vent at this time. ”
Wang Shouwen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shenxian, you won't be a good man, right......?"
Xie Shen scolded with a smile: "Are you the master of Cao?" I'm not that tasted that bad. I'm asking you to come with me to the academy. ”
Wang Shouwen was really stunned at this time.
College? Isn't that the place to read?
Confucian edicts are notoriously harsh, if they go to the academy, they can still have fun?
Because Wang Shouwen and others have to prepare for the upcoming government exam, they don't have to go to the academy every day to study during this time. Wang Shouwen finally got free time, and he was secretly happy, where would he go back to the academy with Xie Shen.
He shook his head again and again and said, "Brother Shenxian, if you say somewhere else, I will definitely go with you without hesitation." But I don't want to go to this academy. ”
The corners of Xie Shen's mouth twitched: "Really not going?" ”
Wang Shouwen gritted his teeth and said, "Absolutely not." ”
"Okay, then don't regret it then."
After saying that, he pulled Xie Pi and walked towards the carriage together.
"Alas, Brother Shenxian has something to say. Tell me, how to play in the academy? ”
Wang Shouwen chased after him again, Xie Shen shook his head and sighed, "If you really want to come, you have to listen to me." ”
"Well, that's easy to say. I was joking with you just now. ”
Wang Shouwen suddenly remembered that Xie Shen received a special training from Confucius before the county exam, this kid seems to be able to always seize the opportunity and make the most correct choice at the most correct time, and there will be no mistake with him.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, get into the carriage."
......
......
When the Wang family's carriage stopped at Sanwei Academy, it happened to be in time to get out of school.
Many students from the academy walked out of the inner hall in pairs and threes, and they were very surprised to see Xie Shen and the others.
Xie Shen ignored these surprised eyes and walked straight towards the courtyard. Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen followed closely behind Xie Shen and did not say a word.
In the inner hall, Confucius was holding an ancient book and reading it carefully, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head to look. Seeing that it was Xie Shen and the others, Confucius put down the book and said lightly: "What, don't you prepare for the government exam, what are you doing here for the old man?" ”
"Student Xie Shen to meet the master."
The young man bowed and bowed, and first made enough of the salutes.
"The students heard that there have been frequent Japanese raids recently, and there have been Japanese raids in all provinces in eastern Zhejiang. There was even a tragedy of slaughtering villages in Ningbo. Students are worried that the government will impose martial law on the city, and if they go there close to the prefectural examination period, they may delay the exam. ”
Although Shaoxing Mansion is only more than 100 miles away from Yuyao, if it is almost two full days by foot, it can almost be reached. However, if the Japanese invade and disturb the sea realm, the whole province of Shaoxing will be under martial law, and I am afraid that we will have to take a detour. If they catch up with the unreasonable, they will even refuse Xie Shen and them to enter the city. His fears were not unfounded.
In fact, the problem of Japanese plague has always been a stubborn disease that plagues the Ming Dynasty.
And if you want to say that the province with the most serious problems is Zhejiang Province.
Six provinces in eastern Zhejiang, the pillow river is connected to the sea.
The six prefectures of Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou, and Wenzhou will always face the attack of the Japanese invaders.
The changing coastal defense policy of the Ming Dynasty led to the wreaking plague, sometimes raging, sometimes silent. But after a short period of silence, it will always re-ravage the six seaside mansions with a more violent momentum.
In the seventh year of orthodoxy, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty once clarified the coastal defense policy, "Residents are not allowed to open markets near the water to lure thieves and go to the sea privately." "In short, you people don't think of opening a market by the sea, which will lure the pirates to come and plunder. Moreover, you people cannot build ships and go to sea without the permission of the imperial court.
In the third year of Tianshun, this ban became more severe.
"It is forbidden for the military and civilians of Zhejiang and directly subordinate to the Haiwei to build large ships privately, gather people, and go to the sea with weapons to be thieves, and those who dare to violate the law will be punished with capital punishment, and their families will be sent to the border guards."
Translated into the vernacular, it means that you people are not allowed to build ships and go to sea, and if you dare to go to sea with weapons privately, you will be regarded as robbers, and if you catch the mastermind and the main culprit is beheaded, all your family members will be distributed.
This punishment is not unsevere, and it has also achieved a good deterrent effect for a time.
But all that has changed since the time of Kenjong. Xianzong Zhu Jianshen is best known for favoring Wan Guifei, who is seventeen years older than him, and in fact, he is really not very interested in politics. Reflected in the coastal defense, that is, "the coastal defense of eastern Zhejiang is becoming more and more slack." ”
However, when it came to Hongzhi, the coastal defense became strict again.
Hearing that Xie Shen mentioned the trouble, Confucius seemed to be a little worried. He stroked his white silver beard and sighed: "Your Majesty, Hongde, but you can't influence these barbarians, forcing me to strictly prohibit coastal defense, and not a single board or tree can enter the sea, which is a pity." ”
After a pause, Confucius continued: "Your worries are not unreasonable. Recently, the Japanese in Ningbo Mansion have indeed made a lot of trouble, and although Shaoxing is better, no one can guarantee whether these Japanese people will come around. There is still a month before the government test, if you are worried, leave for Shaoxing Mansion early, and don't delay the test because of martial law. ”
"Thank you, Master, students."
After Xie Shen thanked him, he glanced at Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, and the two hurriedly echoed.
"When you arrive in the city, don't be greedy for fun, you must prepare for the exam carefully, and don't live up to the county's ardent expectations for you."
Although Confucius was born as a Jinshi, after all, he served as a county teacher in Yuyao all the year round, and did not have much influence on the personnel of Shaoxing Mansion. Although he also wanted to help Xie Shen and the others pass the government exam successfully, he really couldn't think of any good way. I can't fix a book, and ask the prefect of Shaoxing to take special care of these three people.
"So, the student quits."
Xie Shen bowed respectfully again, and Kong Dedao nodded with satisfaction.
The three of them came out of the inner hall like this, and Wang Shouwen suddenly realized.
"It turns out that this is what you said about having fun, Brother Shenxian, I was almost stunned by you."
