Section 632 The return of the Japanese people
Lu Maofeng personally ordered a guard, this guard's sword strength is no less than Bai Erwa, and the actual combat experience is even richer.
Standing in the hall, he didn't make a move immediately, but first pointed out the etiquette of the sword competition, and then made a gesture, and the brute boy saluted a little clumsily, holding the knife high in both hands and slashing it hard.
The first knife is to try the strength of the other party.
The guards of the Qin Palace's mansion also held swords in both hands to meet them.
After hearing a crisp sound, the guards took five steps back, but the brute boy did not move at all.
In the second battle, the guards of the Qin Wangfu have already used their skills, and only one four or two thousand catties will make the brute boy scramble, not to mention the advanced skills such as sticky knife technique, sliding knife technique, back knife technique, etc., and after five rounds, the brute boy's knife was picked aside.
"It's good, it's not strong, it's quick. Very good! Li Yuanxing opened his mouth and praised it. was thinking about how to reward, but the brute boy learned the big gift of Yi Hui just now and knelt down: "Knife, learn knife!" ”
Li Yuanxing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, but learning knives is very hard." And you have to go through the training to be able to get the master's approval, if you learn something, this king will give you the famous sword of the hundred blades of the Qin Palace. Li Yuanxing thought about it again and said to Lu Maofeng: "Give him a knife." ”
"One sword!" Lu Maofeng exclaimed.
Li Yuanxing still nodded.
Lu Maofeng stepped aside, and then said to the barbarian boy: "Don't hurry up and thank you, your master is the first swordsman in the Qin Palace, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty calls it a knife." Because there are very few masters who can become his one-sword enemy. Thank you! ”
The brute boy can't speak Chinese, and he only learned it on the ship for a month.
It was still Ichijo Hui who explained to him again before he hurriedly saluted.
"Very well, what's his name?"
"Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, my slaves and tenant farmers in the Yamato Kingdom have no surnames and no names." Ichijo replied.
After hearing this, Li Yuanxing said: "Since you have the opportunity to be the king's guard, you always need a name." ”
While Li Yuanxing was thinking, the barbarian boy shouted: "I wish to be surnamed Konoi, and I am willing to be a loyal person!" ”
Or maybe it's a kind of fate. The name of the barbarian boy was Konoe Tadahito, and he became the ancestor of the Wajima Konoe family, and in the future, the Konoe family was the head of the five Wajima clans.
Thirty widows. Except for Konoe Tadahito, who was left in the Qin Palace. The rest were sent to the academy.
It is really a coincidence that the five major families in the history of Wajima, the Konke clan, the Ichijo clan, the Nijo clan, the Kujo clan, and the Takaji clan, all of these surnames appear among these thirty people, and they are all surnames chosen by themselves. And it's a very coincidental coincidence. It is important to know that in the history of Wajima, these surnames only appeared during the shogunate period.
It is a branch that split off from the former Fujiwara clan. It was not until the Warring States period that it became even stronger.
After rewarding the Japanese people and sending them back to Chang'an City, Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng: "Go and tell a knife." As long as this widow is loyal to the king, he will teach him the sword technique. One day he will fight for this king, and he will become a sharp blade under this king. When the army was sent out at the beginning of April, a sword followed the king, and let the guard Tadahito follow. ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanxing personally met the Japanese people, which already showed enough attention.
At least what is the identity of King Qin, what kind of person. Naturally, Li Yuanxing doesn't need to explain it personally, they have been in Chang'an for half a year and a year, and they will naturally understand what kind of identity the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty is.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yi Yihui and other twenty-nine people went to the Imperial School Department of the Chang'an Ministry of Rites to take the exam.
There is only one sentence of restriction on them, that is, they are not allowed to say that they are from Izumo Wajima, and they can only say that they came to Chang'an City a few years ago and stayed in Chang'an.
Although they don't understand, Ichijo Hui and the others will still abide by this rule.
When Ichijo Hui and the others came to the Imperial Academy, there were already many people here who were ruling it out.
Looking at the outfits of these people, Ichijo Hui and the others knew that these must be from Wajima like himself, but they looked poor, and the most well-dressed one was just a burlap with a low-grade silk coat on top of it.
The worship of the strong is a typical concept of respecting the strong.
There are two extremes of their loyalty, one is extreme loyalty, which carries with it very objective conditions. For example, when the head of the family dies, the important ministers under the head of the family will generally die together, because they can't get their current status if they change the head of the family, so they will choose to die together, in exchange for a loyal name and dignity.
The Wajin of the Asuka period had not yet reached the mad religious-like fanatical loyalty of the post-Edo period or even the Meiji period.
And the other extreme of loyalty is to be loyal only to very powerful people, which is the mentality of respecting the strong.
Nowhere was this more evident than in the mid-shogunate era of Wajima.
Ichijo Hui looked at the clothes on his body, this is the best rainbow brocade. Only the royal family can afford to wear it on Wajima, and then look at the barrier knife on the waist, there is no such knife in Wajima, but here it is very ordinary, and it is just a Peiyi knife for inferior people.
Then he touched the piece of paper that he had placed in his arms, and it said a hundred times.
He knew that a hundred was a hundred thousand dollars. And this piece of paper can be exchanged for coins in the money houses in Chang'an City, and each of them has it, more or less, he has a maximum of 100,000 yuan. Konoe Tadahito had 80,000 yuan, and the lowest person here also had 5,000 yuan. I heard that 5,000 yuan can be exchanged for five stone polished rice.
Then 100,000 yuan is 1,000 stone polished rice.
Thinking that the Izumo Castle Lord is nothing more than that, he has not stored a thousand koku polished rice in his granary.
Looking at the widows lining up here, Yi Yihui nodded at the few people beside him, and did not wait for the little official who brought them over to come forward, but walked forward by himself.
The two strong widows beside Yi Qiuhui shouted: "Get out of here, the untouchables dare to stand in the way here!" ”
Hearing this scolding, the little officials of the Qin Wangfu were stunned for a moment, but then they laughed, slowing down unnaturally, they were scolding the Japanese people, not the people of the Tang Dynasty, the small officials of the Qin Wangfu naturally didn't care, but wanted to see the excitement, and it was good to go back and have interesting things to report.
Kozo Oshima was also here, and he finally got the opportunity to test it from the Ministry of Rites.
The hundreds of people he brought with him were tested, and each person paid the test for twenty yuan, which cost him a few dollars, but it was not a small amount of money.
Hearing the shouting from behind, and it was shouted in the language of the Japanese country, he couldn't help but turn around.
Kozo Oshima and Terushi Ichijo looked at each other, looking at each other.
After all, Ichijo Hui had been to Nara Castle, and he saw that the other party was wearing a big red hat, which was the official position of the fifth order of the twelve orders of Prince Shotoku, which was considered a great official in Wajima.
And Ichijo Hui doesn't have a hat, and he is just a low-level civilian at the Wajima level.
"Get out of the way!" There are people who don't understand the twelfth order of Prince Shotoku, and the sword next to Ichichiki made Koshiro Oshima's entourage give way as soon as he crossed it, but he didn't dare to go directly at Kozo Oshima.
"Who are you?" Kozo Oshima asked.
"Eagle Division!" Finally having a name, and giving your name in front of someone else is a great honor in itself. And the other also raised the horizontal knife in his hand: "Two letters!" The name was also reported.
Kozo Oshima heard that the other party had a name, and although he didn't have a hat, he didn't dare to despise it.
It's just that he has never heard of these two surnames at all.
After all, this is not Wajima, this is the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, and Kozo Oshima motioned to make way for a table to be vacant.
Yi Hui took a deep breath and stepped forward, this scene can be said to have a great impact on these twenty-nine people, just by reporting their names and letting the nobles of Wajima make way for them, this means that they have a status that is no less than that of nobles.
"Officials of the Ministry of Rites, I'm waiting to sign up for the exam." Yi Yi Hui is a rule in front of the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"Is there a warrant?"
Yi Yi Hui put the slip from the Qin Wangfu on the table, and then said, "We forgot to buy paper and pen on the way, can you sell it to us." As he spoke, Ichijo Hui put the piece of paper representing a hundred kan on the table, and Kozo Oshima didn't know exactly what that note was.
The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at it and scolded with a smile: "Is there a smaller savings paperwork, who will take 100,000 yuan to buy paper and pencils." ”
Ichijo Hui looked behind him: "Who has five thousand dollars?" ”
A half-grown child from Zuihou squeezed over: "I have." Then he put his own five-dollar coin on the table.
The officer told someone to accept the piece of paper, and then a small official asked for the number, took three boxes of pens, thirty inks, and then each gave twenty pieces of paper, and counted six hundred sheets in all. Zuihou put a plate on the table: "Charge you five yuan, get back four yuan and one hundred yuan, ten yuan of paper and pen, and twenty yuan of test fees." ”
Ichijo Hui received the half-grown child with the coin, and then led the person into the place where the Imperial Academy Division took the exam.
Kozo Oshima suddenly opened his mouth and asked the half-old man: "What's your name?" ”
"Kujo Nobunaga!" The half-grown child responded and quickly followed the team and ran in.
Kozo Oshima was even more puzzled, who are they, even the half-grown children have surnames, you must know that among the hundreds of people you brought, there are less than fifty people with surnames, and the rest are Jiro, O's man and the like shouting, sometimes even he will make people mistaken.
Kozo Oshima was puzzled in his heart.
But those who were waiting to take the exam were shocked.
The same is the Wa people, weishenme their gap will be so big.
There are only so many surnames of the nobles among the Japanese people, and the people who can come here are somewhat knowledgeable.
At least these are the surnames they have not heard of.
When it comes to being rich, just looking at the difference in clothing makes them ashamed.
There are many people who are taking the exam, but they inadvertently start to get close to Ichijo Hui and others.
They can't talk casually during the exam, but they are waiting for the exam to get acquainted after the exam. (To be continued......)
