"What's going on with you? Actually came to us with a blue nose and swollen face? ”

Zhang Chao looked at Li Yifu's blue nose and swollen face and came to find Zhang Chao, which obviously surprised Zhang Chao very much. Because since Li Yifu entered the four schools, everything has been in accordance with the rules, and he has always studied seriously, and there is not much special. And Zhang Chao also hopes to train Li Yifu, a teenage boy, as his student and an important assistant in the future, as for the image of Li Yifu as a traitor in history, this Zhang Chao doesn't care. Whether he is a traitor or not just depends on whether he wins, if he wins, he is naturally a loyal minister, and if he fails, he is a traitor. And a failed loyal minister will only be abused by the history books. So Zhang Chao doesn't care about the evaluation of those people in the original history, because everyone is different. History is written by the victors, so Zhang Chao will not care, in politics, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat.

"Dr. Zhang, I went to Qingqing today, and I met Tai students who were also looking outside. We were young people, and we all discussed with each other. We began to discuss knowledge, but then we disagreed, so I dismissed him. Later, he asked the house slaves to beat me, and I became so blue and swollen. Li Yifu said.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Chao immediately asked mysteriously.

Li Yifu couldn't help twitching in his heart, and then immediately said, "It's true!" ”

Zhang Chao said lightly: "Li Yifu, don't take me for a fool. I'm not that stupid, you're too young to tell a lie. ”

"Dr. Zhang, what do you mean by that?" Li Yifu asked.

Zhang Chao said: "As for what it means, it depends on your own confession." ”

Under the pressure of Zhang Chao, Li Yifu immediately said, "Dr. Zhang." I was wrong, I shouldn't have made a fuss. Most of the injuries on my body were caused by myself, and the other party just slapped me. I'm hoping to make a big deal out of it and then ......"

Zhang Chao smiled. said: "If you do it from the identity of a young student, you are very wrong. But if you're looking at it from a politician's point of view, you're doing it right. Are you going to be a student, or a politician? ”

Li Yifu thought for a while and said, "I want to be a politician!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's go to the students of our four schools right away and talk to them and see what they have to say." Zhang Chao said.

Li Yifu immediately asked, "Dr. Zhang." Now that you know I'm fake, why bother? ”

"It's very simple, just play with the question. I also hope that the students of the four schools can see the true faces of those scholars, and let them see how they can look down on our humble families. And the four schools, and Taixue, are actually a big school, and they are all a small society. The four disciplines represent the humble door. Taixue represents the scholar clan, and these two clash. That will definitely allow the children of the Han Sect to see the faces of the scholars clearly. Zhang Chao said.

Zhang Chao took Li Yifu to the four schools, and then there were hundreds of students who were listening to the lectures. But then Zhang Chao announced a piece of news, that is, about the students of Tai and the students of the four schools because of a temporary academic dispute, the other party actually used force. This suddenly made the entire four students also fry, and they expressed a very separate expression.

"Why do you want those students to beat up our four students?" "Yes! If you can't debate others, then start beating people. Is there such a way to deal with it? "It's unreasonable to say that others will beat people if they can't say it." "How can this be justified, we want to seek justice for our classmates!" "Could it be that if those guys are the children of eunuchs, can they beat people casually?" "It's the first time I've heard that the truth is made." Dr. Zhang has also said it. The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes, but they can't argue with others, so they start beating people, which is really unreasonable. ”

"Let's go, let's get justice!"

It was very open, and a large number of students from the four schools also ran out, and then Zhang Chao took Li Yifu behind, and then whispered: "It's really bookish, full of enthusiasm." However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this. If it's not good, it's easy to be taken advantage of. Next, there will be a good show. ”

The students of the four schools soon went to protest outside the Taixue Gate, and then they stood outside the Taixue Gate and protested loudly, so that the Taixue students could not attend classes in peace. Taixue is also a school under Guozijian, but their student quota is only 500, and the recruits are all descendants of officials above the fifth grade of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them, Taixue, were born in scholar families, and the most important ones were also small scholars. Because the five-grade officials are also not low official positions in this era, it is very difficult for non-scholars to be the five-grade real positions. Wupin is a ceiling, if you spend it, it is a senior national official, and if you don't spend it, it is still a middle and low-level official. If it is said that the five-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty are at least the political status of the provincial and ministerial level in later generations. 、

Therefore, the descendants of these five-grade officials came here to study, so that they saw the students of the four schools outside protesting, and they were very angry in their hearts.

"What are these mud legs doing here?" Immediately, a scholar asked.

"Yes! These mud-legged people, they came to us to protest, saying that our people beat their people. "Our people hit their people, what a joke, how could our people have beaten their people?" "Yes! Don't say we didn't fight, even if we did, what could we do? They deserve to be beaten! "These lowly mud legs, it's good that the imperial court can let them study, but they still dare to come to our Taixue to make trouble, it's really an ambitious leopard's guts!" "Immediately notify Wu Houwei and let them drive these mud legs away!"

For these students of the four schools to make trouble, those scholars were extremely angry. They believed that the students of these four schools were all from some mud-legged backgrounds, and although they claimed to be outstanding talents in the poor family, they were still looked down upon by the people of the Shi clan. The nobles were distinguished by their birth, and they advocated ruling by blood. They believe that only noble bloodlines can have noble status, and this thinking has been very much since the Northern and Southern Dynasties. And these scholars are also very arrogant, looking down on these students of the four disciplines. Think they're all untouchables. Do not cooperate with them to survive with these warriors.

And these "mud legs" actually dared to come to Simen to make trouble, which must have made them very angry. It's like a dragon being provoked by an ant. Therefore, these scholars felt extremely hateful, and they immediately began to scold these students of the four disciplines, leaving no mercy at all. Anyway, in their minds, these mud legs are sluts. It is natural for them to scold two sentences. Even if they are killed, they can be almost not responsible, because the scholars monopolize most of the judicial power, so the scholars don't have to fear anything to be held accountable. So they have nothing to fear, so they all start to want to drive these people away.

"Hand over the guy who hit the guy and make them apologize!" Immediately, the students of the four schools said angrily.

But the students of Taixue were also immediately furious: "Why hand it over? Why should you mud legs let us hand it over? We are a noble race, and we are not something you can insult casually. ”

"Can the scholars beat people at will?" Immediately, another student from the four disciplines said angrily.

"What about hitting you? You're just looking for a fight! ”

"It seems that you really beat it, hand over the people!"

……

Soon. Everyone is also gearing up for each other, and it looks like they are going to be rough. However, at present, those who are too learned are more advantageous, because many of them have domestic servants, and of course the domestic servants have to come over to help the son at this time. So they are all running over now, hoping to help their sons fight and get rewarded when the time comes.

However, the four disciplines are not to be outdone. I heard that the students of the four schools were bullied, and many students of the four schools in Chang'an City also came over. At present, the four courses are subject to a credit system. Many students also choose to work and study part-time, extend their study years, and then come out to do things. But now that I heard that some classmates at my alma mater were bullied, I naturally wanted to come out to help uphold justice. So at the gate of Taixue, the supporters of both sides also began to clash, and the two sides did not give in to each other. And then there was a big fight.

Many people next to it are also here to watch the excitement, obviously this excitement is very interesting, both sides are in conflict with each other here, you can see these literati who are here to fight roughly, this value is a diorama. Everyone came to watch.

However, their conflict attracted not only the common people, but also some of them were Wu Houwei, who was in charge of public security in Chang'an.

"What are you doing?" A loud voice asked.

Zhang Chao watched this good show from a distance, and then he immediately said: "It seems that Wei Chigong is here." ”

"Dr. Zhang, what if Wei Chigong is here?" Li Yifu asked.

"Yu Chigong is here, Yu Chigong is an out-and-out humble background, who do you say he will favor this time?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Yifu replied: "He will inevitably be biased towards the Hanmen, I'm afraid those scholars will not agree!" ”

"Hehe, yes, I'm afraid that this time I let Wei Chigong, a martial artist, intervene, then I'm afraid that things will be big in the future. You say, who will come from the corporal clan? Zhang Chao said with a smile.

Sure enough, Wei Chigong listened to what happened, and without thinking about it, he leaned to the side of Hanmen, he said: "Since it was your Taixue people who beat them first, then let them come out and apologize, it doesn't take too much." ”

"What? Let our people apologize? Why? "Yes! Why should we let our people apologize, let our warriors apologize to these mud legs, we can't do it. "There is no precedent for our scholars to apologize to the Hanmen." "Wei Chigong, we order you to arrest all these mud legs for me. If you don't listen to us, then we will impeach you in the court for disrespecting the nobles. ”

"Yes! Wei Chigong, you have to think clearly, what will be the price of offending our scholars! ”

But when Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately had a donkey temper, he was originally born in a poor family, and he was not a scholar, and he made a living by striking iron back then. Along the way, he has received a lot of anger from the scholars, but now a junior dares to speak to himself so unceremoniously, which makes Wei Chigong very angry.

"Since you don't want to apologize, then don't blame our Wuhou Wei's people for pulling you out. We, Wuhouwei, are responsible for the security of Chang'an, so we are in charge of the fights, so since you hit someone, you have to apologize. Otherwise, our Wuhou Wei will have to deal with it according to the law. Wei Chigong said angrily.

"Wei Chigong, you dare!"

"Why don't I dare?" Wei Chigong shouted.

However, just as Wei Chigong was about to give the order, suddenly another loud person shouted.

"Wei Chigong, what do you want to do?"

Wei Chigong turned his head and immediately asked, "Cheng Zhijie." What do you want to do? ”

"Wei Chigong, you are so snub to the Shi clan, what are you doing here?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

In the distance, Li Yifu saw this scene and immediately asked Zhang Chao strangely: "Dr. Zhang, why did Cheng Yanjin help the Shi clan?" Isn't he a poor man? ”

"Hehe, do you think the name Cheng Biting Jin is 'Biting Gold', does it sound like a cold door? Actually, he was a nobleman. Cheng Yanjin is a scholar. It's just that he has suffered since he was a child. Cheng Yanjin's ancestors were all high-ranking officials during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and although they declined a little, his father was also a central official in Jeju. You should also know what Zhongzheng Guan means, which means the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, that is, the housekeeping system of the scholars. All the central officials are all served by scholars. So Cheng Yanjin didn't look at him with foul words, but he was born in the scholar clan, and he just suffered since he was a child. Zhang Chao said.

Many later generations thought that Cheng Yanjin was born poor. It's from a poor family, but this is a big mistake. Cheng Biting Jin has been an official for generations. They are all high-ranking officials of the Northern Dynasty, and even they are all from the Shi family. It's just that Cheng Yanjin has fallen a lot in this generation. Cheng Yanjin is a scholar, but he is a scholar who does not have much culture.

"You should also know that Cheng Biting Jin and the women of the Cui family have been fighting hotly recently, and there is a big chance that Cheng Biting Jin will marry the women of the Cui family. Cheng Yanjin is a native of Jeju. Jeju is the area of Shandong and is the base camp of Shandong. In fact, the Cui family also hopes to use Cheng Yanjin to help their scholars deepen their influence in the army, so they attach some importance to marrying their daughter to Cheng Yanjin. And Cheng Yanjin doesn't want to marry the woman of the Cui family? As long as you marry a woman from the Cui family. Then he will be a noble man. To be the prime minister, it is better to marry a woman with five surnames, this is what many low-level scholars are looking forward to! Because you married a woman with five surnames, it means that your identity is different, and it means that you are a noble person. Cheng Yanjin, a person from a poor background, may be full of inferiority complex in his bones, and he hopes to raise his worth through this method. Zhang Chao said.

Li Yifu immediately asked: "Dr. Zhang, you don't mean that the real nobility comes from the self-esteem and self-confidence in the depths of the soul. But Cheng Biting Jin is like this......"

"Yes! Some people are like this, they don't want to be a prince when they wear dragon robes. And this kind of person is just material for being used. You can't change your lineage or origin, but you can gain respect through your own efforts. Cheng Yanjin is actually not lowly, but his inferiority complex in his heart makes him look forward to proving that he is a noble person by marrying a noble wife. Unfortunately, he went the wrong way. His so-called nobility is destined to be empty in the end. Zhang Chao said.

Zhang Chao knew that Cheng Biting Jin must be his enemy, although Cheng Biting Jin had declined, but he still couldn't let go of his so-called Shi clan identity. He hopes to marry the daughter of the Cui family, so that he can reflect his nobility. Judging from all his actions, he has always been ashamed of being poor back then. Cheng Yanjin has always regarded his past poverty as a shame, and refuses to face the days when he was poor. Judging from his behavior, he is very much looking forward to marrying a daughter of the Cui family, even if the other party is a widow after marrying. Cheng Yanjin actually just hopes that he can gain the respect of others because of this, he thinks that as long as he becomes the son-in-law of the Cui family, who in the Shi clan will look down on him?

Cheng Yanjin has suffered, and even his cultural level is lower than that of many scholars. Therefore, many scholars looked down on him, but he was unwilling to give up his identity as a scholar and went with the Hanmen. Cheng Yanjin was born in Jeju, which was later known as Jinan, Shandong, which was the core territory of the Shi clan. In fact, he has an inferiority complex in his bones, he not only values his status as a scholar, but also thinks that he is noble and ordinary from a humble family. On the other hand, however, the scholars were not able to accept it, because they had suffered and were not well educated.

Cheng Biting Jin's thinking is actually the same as breaking down. On the one hand, he thinks that his ancestors were once high-ranking officials and nobles, and his own background is noble, so he should rule others. But the reality is that he has no good conditions at all, and everything is an ordinary ordinary person. The identity of the scholar clan made him unwilling to mix with ordinary poor families, he was pretentious, and thought that he was of noble blood, but those noble scholars did not look down on him very much. On the one hand, he wanted to sharpen his head and drill into the scholars, and wanted the scholars to accept it, but he was touched all over his head. On the other hand, they look down on ordinary people, look down on those ordinary poor talents, and think that the poor are lowly. But he didn't realize that his life was actually the same as that of Hanmen, there was no difference, he was just an ancestor whose ancestors were once scholars and officials.

Zhang Chao simply scoffed at Cheng Biting Jin's thinking. This kind of thinking is actually the same as some people in later generations, some rich people heard that golf is an aristocratic sport, and they did not hesitate to let their children learn golf, that is, to cultivate the so-called aristocratic temperament. This kind of businessman is rich, but he expects to become a so-called nobleman from his status.

Although Cheng Yanjin is now a high-ranking official, he can't be recognized by the scholar circle, which makes him very annoyed. And he found a shortcut, that is, to marry a woman from a top scholar clan, so that he could make the scholar group recognize himself and admit that he was a "nobleman" through the nepotism of marriage.

"Ah, Lao Cheng, what kind of warrior are you here now? You're breathing out of one nostril with the scholars? Wei Chigong asked.

And Cheng Yanjin immediately said: "Grandpa, I originally said the Shi clan." ”

"Cheng Biting Jin, hurry up and arrest all these mud legs for me, and then send them to prison for interrogation." Immediately, a scholar said.

Cheng Yanjin immediately shouted; "Arrest these students of the four disciplines and send them to Dali Temple!"

"Cheng Yanjin, what do you want to do?" Wei Chigong asked.

Cheng Yanjin immediately shouted: "Don't call me Cheng Yanjin, call me Cheng Zhijie." Knowing the festival means knowing the integrity of the body. Do you dare to say this name, are you looking for a fight? Do you want us to avoid it and see whose martial arts are better? ”

"Hmph, Dr. Zhang, I really don't want the prince to wear a dragon robe." Li Yifu said.

Zhang Chao speculated why Cheng Yanjin changed his name, and also emphasized that his name was "Cheng Zhijie", and he was very sensitive to others calling it "Cheng Yanjin"? In fact, the word "biting gold" is very cheesy, and even many poor children are reluctant to get up. It's like some rural people in later generations, when they were young, they named what dogs, two dogs, etc., saying that they were cheap names and easy to feed. But then they became rich, and they would definitely change their names. Moreover, after they changed their names, they were very taboo for others to mention their "cheap names" back then. Once someone mentions a cheap name, it is like a cat with a tail stepping on it.

Because that "cheap name" represents the history of his poor period and a history that he can't look back on. There are many rich and noble people who are reluctant to mention their experiences back then, how they were poor, how hard they were back, and how low their status was. They think that mentioning the past of the past is to make people look down on their origins and their past. After many people become rich, they are ashamed of their origins. thinks that he is from a low background, even if he is rich, he can't compare with those who were born in a wealthy family. All of them are very taboo about the stories of their poor days, and they can't wait to think that they are naturally rich and noble.

Cheng Biting Jin was like this, so when he heard that Yu Chigong still called himself Cheng Biting Jin, he was immediately furious. Cheng Yanjin immediately made a gesture to fight with Yu Chigong. (To be continued......)
