Chapter 312: Overcoming Rigidity with Softness [1st Shift]
(
Outside the gate of Zheng He's mansion, a group of young people dressed in the costumes of Nanjing Guozi Prison stood proudly, led by Zhang Heng, who was a little emaciated, staring at the courtyard with a lonely and arrogant face. The update is the fastest and most stable
Since the prisoners of Guozijian had already released a rumor to give Li Yuntian a dismissal, there were already a lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement, including candidates who rushed from the Jiangnan Gongyuan Academy, and people in the city, who exchanged their heads and whispered, pointing at those prisoners and buzzing and discussing.
Suddenly, the noisy sound at the scene stopped abruptly, and Li Yuntian, who was wearing a black "color" military uniform, strode out of it, followed by a martial arts instructor who was also wearing a black "color" military uniform, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Are you Zhang Heng?" Li Yuntian had already noticed the crowd outside the door, and his eyes quickly fell on Zhang Heng, who was standing in front of those prisoners, and after glancing at him, he asked quietly.
"It's the students." Zhang Heng saw that Li Yuntian recognized him at a glance, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, and bowed to Li Yuntian.
"Jiangnan really has a collection of literary styles, although the examination papers of the north and south Zhili are different, but in the eyes of this official, the difficulty is almost the same, you are the first martial arts examination score of more than 380 points in the north and south Zhili, which can be called the leader of the martial arts literary examination, I can have young talents such as you to defend the territory and expand the territory, and the military strength is bound to go to the next level."
Li Yuntian smiled slightly, nodded to Zhang Heng appreciatively, and praised him.
"My lord, after thinking twice, the student thinks that the student is not good at martial arts and is more inclined to civil governance, so he wants to participate in this year's township examination in Nanzhili, please complete it."
When Zhang Heng heard this, a trace of arrogance flashed on his face, and he arched his hand at Li Yuntian again, and said loudly. [30915671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 309 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 312
With a bang, the people around who were watching the excitement suddenly made a commotion, and no one thought that the first place in the martial arts examination would give up the qualification to enter the martial arts hall.
Li Yuntian looked at Zhang Heng silently, he had originally suspected the motives of the seven Nanjing Guozi prison students to participate in this martial arts examination, Yu Shi secretly noticed that he already knew the details of the seven of them, so he recognized Zhang Heng at a glance just now.
As soon as he heard that a prisoner from the Guozijian had come to Zheng He's mansion to ask to see him, he had already guessed that it was Zhang Heng and them, and at the same time realized their intentions.
If the first place in the Nanzhili Wuju Literary Examination gave up entering the Jiangwutang, and perhaps the other six top ten inmates would do the same, it would definitely be a joke, and it would have a bad impact on the reputation of the Jiangwutang in the south.
"Adults, students and others also feel powerless to join the army, please do it!" Sure enough, under Li Yuntian's gaze, six of the prisoners behind Zhang Heng walked out, stood side by side with Zhang Heng, and arched their hands at Li Yuntian, and said in unison.
At this moment, the people at the scene suddenly exploded, their faces were full of surprise, and they were talking about this unbelievable thing.
Since the establishment of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, there has never been a candidate who has not taken the exam in it and given up after taking the exam, not to mention that the renunciators not only occupy seven seats among the top ten people, but also include the first place in the martial arts examination, which is a big surprise.
The prisoners standing behind Zhang Hengqi's body became proud, gloating at Li Yuntian, who had been "slapped in the face", wanting to see how he responded to the sudden scene in front of him.
Li Yuntian glanced at the seven people of Zhang Heng who were proud of his eyes, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, it seems that they thought that such a small trick could make them lose face? This is too underestimating him, the chief instructor of the martial arts hall!
"There is no paper to raise martial arts, all for my Ming Dynasty to select talents, since you have made up your mind, then this official will not be forced to stay."
After groaning for a while, Li Yuntian pressed his hand down at the noisy crowd, the scene gradually quieted down, he smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Heng and the seven people, "However, you have already passed the martial arts of Nanzhili, and you are already a preparatory student of the martial arts hall, so you naturally have the military status of the martial arts hall. ”
"According to the rules and regulations of the lecture martial arts, except for the parents who are worried, disabled by accident and have received the emperor's favor, only the preparatory students who cannot pass the three-month training of the lecture can leave, otherwise, those who are absent without reason will be punished according to the crime of escaping from the battle, and should be beheaded, but the emperor is extrajudicial and gracious, and the rod is punished by fifty rods, and the examination of literature and martial arts is banned for life."
As he spoke, the smile on Li Yuntian's face became thicker and thicker, "The training of the martial arts hall starts in early April and ends at the end of June. ”
When Zhang Heng and the seven of them heard that they were going to Beijing, they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, they originally thought that Li Yuntian would find a way to stop them from giving up the martial arts hall, but they didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so generous, and they agreed to it, but they were going to go to Beijing, which greatly exceeded their expectations.
The seven of them naturally didn't want to go to Beijing, Beijing and Nanjing were more than 2,000 miles apart, not to mention the hard work of going back and forth, and more importantly, if they arrived at the Jingshi Guozijian, they would definitely be isolated or even provoked by those prisoners of the Jingshi Guozijian. [30915671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 309 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 312
Li Yuntian was a thief who suppressed the southern scholars in the eyes of the prisoners of the Nanjing Guozi Prison, but in the eyes of the prisoners of the Jingshi Guozi Prison, he was a hero who won them a great future.
Zhang Heng's actions this time not only swept Li Yuntian's face and ruined the reputation of the martial arts hall, but also would be regarded as contempt for the scholars of Beizhili.
In this way, the seven people in Jingshi Guozijian will definitely be miserable, where can they still have the heart to review their homework and prepare for the township exam in Nanzhili?
Besides, Li Yuntian did not have a good reputation among the prisoners of Nanjing, and he was a cunning and cunning man, and if he came up with a way to prevent them from leaving, then they would want to cry without tears.
Therefore, Zhang Heng and the seven people definitely don't want to go to Jingshi, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable, and they will become fish and meat on Li Yuntian's chopping board, and they will be slaughtered.
"My lord, why don't the students and others know that there is such a rule in the Lecture Hall?" Zhang Heng frowned, asked Li Yuntian with a vigilant expression, and questioned Li Yuntian's statement, after all, the charter of the martial arts hall was not announced to the outside world, whether it was true or false was Li Yuntian's one-sided statement.
"The charter of the martial arts hall is facing those preparatory students, and the official did not expect that someone would give up entering the hall after passing the martial arts retest!"
Li Yuntian replied unhurriedly when he heard this, and then his voice became a little cold, staring at Zhang Heng and saying, "This kind of situation can be described as a rare occurrence in a hundred years, if it weren't for the first martial arts move after the establishment of the Martial Arts Hall, there are many things that need to be improved, and this move is undoubtedly suspected of bullying the king!" ”
Zhang Heng's face suddenly changed, Li Yuntian's words were undoubtedly a warning to them, implying that Li Yuntian had let them go before, otherwise they would be convicted of bullying the monarch on the grounds of sabotaging the martial arts.
Being able to get the first place in the Nanzhili Wuju Literary Examination, Zhang Heng is naturally not the kind of scheming and stupid person, but he is young and vigorous, and his "temperament" is a little extreme, and he only cared about making Li Yuntian ugly before, and he did not carefully consider the consequences of the situation.
In Zhang Heng's opinion, he took the initiative to give up the future of martial arts, he didn't steal two, didn't rob three, and didn't cheat, Li Yuntian couldn't stop him at all except for jumping like thunder.
However, Zhang Heng now finally realized Li Yuntian's old ways, he did not stop him from giving up martial arts, but he moved out of the rules of the martial arts hall and set up a checkpoint for him, which made him fall into passivity in an instant.
"My lord, you can't be your delaying tactic and deliberately perfunctory to wait, right?" Just when Zhang Heng was thinking of countermeasures with some annoyance, a round-faced prisoner beside him asked coldly.
The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the prisoners of Nanjing Guozijian are all young people of about 20, young and vigorous, and they are the best among the scholars in the south, and they are arrogant, so the tone of their speech is relatively impulsive.
"Bold, do you know that slandering the court officials is a serious crime!" Before Li Yuntian could speak, a strategy instructor standing behind him stretched out his hand and pointed at the round-faced inmate.
"This official has already made a promise to you in front of everyone, how can he change it lightly?" Li Yuntian raised his right hand disapprovingly, signaling the strategy instructor not to worry about the round-faced prisoner, and said to him with a smile.
"After I get through those three months, can I return to Nanjing to participate in the township examination of Nanzhili?" The round-faced prisoner also realized that his previous words were quite inappropriate at this time, and his face became a little embarrassed, and then he looked at Li Yuntian unconvinced.
"As long as you don't have the training of the martial arts hall, then you are not a person who teaches the martial arts, and the martial arts hall will naturally not be able to interfere with your choice." Li Yuntian smiled and bowed his head, and after a deep sigh, he said, "You can rest assured, since you are going to give up entering the hall, then this official will add seven people from the list of the literary list, so as to fully talk about the number of students in the south of the martial arts hall." ”
Looking at Li Yuntian with a smile on his face, Zhang Heng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, Li Yuntian was reasonable, well-founded and responsible, which made him have no choice, the words he had prepared before were completely in vain, and he had to obediently follow Li Yuntian to Jingshi.
"My lord, do you dare to sign a letter of guarantee for me and others in front of everyone, and if we don't have the training of the martial arts hall through guò, we can return to Nanjing." Although Li Yuntian had already made a promise, the round-faced prisoner was still not at ease, and said loudly after thinking about it.
"Of course you can, the martial arts hall is for the country's selection of talents, and it will definitely not be difficult for strong people." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, it seemed that the round-faced prisoner didn't believe him, so he said with a smile, "It's better to write a letter of guarantee to the lord of the Nanjing Guozijian, and whether you and the other seven people leave or stay at that time depends on their personal wishes, and the official will send someone to send you and the others back to Nanjing safely." ”
Zhang Heng's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and he glanced at the round-faced prisoner depressedly, Li Yuntian, as a dignified imperial historian and a scholar, made a promise in front of so many people, how could he not believe it? The round-faced inmates are really redundant, but it makes people think they are stingy.
Since Li Yuntian had said it so clearly, and he was a combination of rigidity and softness, then Zhang Heng and the seven of them naturally did not have the intention of messing around, and went back to Nanjing Guozijian to pack their luggage and prepare to go to Beijing with Li Yuntian.
After Li Yuntian visited Zheng He, he went to Nanjing Guozijian, and wrote a letter of guarantee in front of many Nanjing Guozijian officials and prisoners, promising that as soon as the three-month training in the martial arts hall was over, no matter whether Zhang Heng and the seven people had passed the training or not, they would send someone to send them and respect their choice.
This letter of guarantee was stamped with Li Yuntian's imperial history seal letter, and it was left at the Nanjing Guozi Priest's Wine, which made Zhang Heng and the seven people breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the people of Nanjing Guozijian without exception all thought that Zhang Heng and the seven would definitely come back in July, and Zhang Heng and the seven people also had such thoughts.
No one noticed that a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, since he dared to sign this letter of guarantee, he must have another deep meaning, and it would not be as simple as it seemed on the surface
