Chapter 80—Wandering on the Canoe Bridge (18)
At this time, the autumn festival was different from the Tang Dynasty election, "every year in the middle of winter, the state, county, museum, and supervisor sent to Shangshu Province". The township test list is very fast, and the so-called laurel list is when the list is released, when the osmanthus is fragrant. But before the list was released, Ding Yi left Jingshi, because in the two academies of Nanjing and Rongcheng, the disciples who were circled were all brought to Jingshi by Jiaoxi, and the grain cart and horses were ready to stop, so Ding Yi led 800 students, took Du Ziteng and Wang Yue, led 28 personal guards, and set off to Gubeikou with the grain cart.
For Ding Yi's travel, there are many people who feel surprised and confused, because in the ten-year cold window, if you can be lifted, even if you have a return, you can already be an official, in this era. As for Jinshi, how many people are selected from the first list? And it should be said that the battle of the township test is more tragic than the meeting test.
Because of the admission quota for the township examination, Hongwunian Guangdong and Guangxi are only 25 places; In this Jingtai period, there are about 135 people in the north and 135 in the south, and there are about 90 people in other places such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang, Fujian, Huguang, Guangdong, and Henan, and there are 80 to 90 people, Shandong, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi are even less than 60 to 75, and the quota of 55 people in Guangxi is only 55, and Yunnan is only 30.
You must know that at this time, Guizhou is still included in Yunnan, such a large area, but only 30 people can be promoted, and the exam is taken once every three years, that is, an average of five people per year in the two provinces.
Zhongju is the pride of the sky, which is not the concept of the so-called pride of the sky for college students in later generations.
According to this calculation, Fan Jinzhong's move is actually very understandable, think about a province only takes the top five in the college entrance examination, even if it is Jiangxi and Zhejiang, it is only the top 30.
Dante doesn't care if he gets hired or not. As soon as the students from Rongcheng and Nanjing came, they set off on the same day.
Among the scholars in Beizhili, they couldn't help but praise Ding Rongcheng for being really humble and vain, and regarded fame as dung. And Wang Zhi even sighed that he was not wrong about Ding Yi: "Only Ding Rujin in the world is worthy of the word upright, resigned for Quanzhi, and did not look at the list for the sake of quietness." However, Yu Qian never made a sound, but instructed Xiang Wenyao, who was called Yu Qian's concubine, to let him comb his voice in Shilin and not too much.
Not all who ride a white horse are princes. Yu Qian may not know this, but at least not all good words are praise from the heart. said that Ding Yi does not seek officials or fame, what is his intention? Is it to insinuate that Ding Yi's seeker is great? Moreover, Yu Qian looked down on Wang Zhi very much. History records that he even asked Li Xian, probably saying that Wang Zhi was so old. Why don't you beg for bones yet?
That is, at this age, you still don't apply for retirement? Too attached to power, right?
Maybe it's because of the wrong eye. Yu Qian could read full of malice from Wang Zhi's words anyway.
Wang Ji, who was guarding the South Palace, listened, sneered and said to Cao Jixiang, who came to see him beside him: "Ding Rongcheng seems to be difficult to protect himself!" What earth-shattering things do you and Wu Qingbo still hope that someone Ding can do? Alas...... "Although Wang Ji is seventy, he still holds the cup to the wine, and vigorously slams the cup on the table. He shook his head and said, "I just hope that someone Ding will not lead you and me out in the future, it is a great luck that I received you and other hand-me-downs at that time." The old man is also lost in phlegm, such a person should not provoke him! ”
Cao Jixiang wanted to say something, Wang Ji looked at him and sneered again and again, what is there in this court that Wang Ji can't see clearly? He will be reduced to being cut down to Nangong to guard, to put it bluntly, the incident of changing the emperor, there was a case in the previous dynasty, and the emperor was captured, but he came back after being captured, it is really a very unlikely event, except for Ding Yi in this world, who dares to say that he can see through this?
If Yingzong is the same as Emperor Jingkang, he won't be able to come back if he goes, and Wang Ji will not be suspicious of Emperor Jing to this kind of Cheng dù, even if Yu Qian doesn't like him, Emperor Jing may not necessarily send him here. Because Yingzong came back from the tile, Emperor Jing didn't feel unstable, Wang Ji was very close to Wang Zhen, and he had led the army for many years, and he had a far-reaching foundation in the army, and he was born as a jinshi, how could he not be suspicious of him?
"Ding Rongcheng is a good man who fights righteousness......" Cao Jixiang said halfway, and met Wang Ji's eyes, but he couldn't continue.
Wang Ji filled the cup again, raised his head and drank it all, and sighed: "What's the use of a righteous man?" If he is not righteous, you still have some hope in your thoughts, and you will give birth to him to be righteous...... It's also a fool, I heard that since he ascended the throne today, Ding Rongcheng has never knelt, although when the decree was delivered, there was often the grace to exempt him from kneeling, but as a courtier, he returned to press this grace and refused to kneel, and I heard that the face saint was the same...... If he didn't think of his love for the Lord, why did he do it? This person is indeed righteous, but it is a pity that the old man is not a young man in his twenties, otherwise such a person deserves the four words of life and death...... Lao Cao, the old man is old, and he only wants one sentence to you: I only want the safety of the house. ”
Cao Jixiang took a deep breath, nodded to Wang Ji, didn't say anything more, picked up the cup and drank it all, got up and staggered away. Wang Ji will not betray him, Cao Jixiang is not worried about this section, just as the old Wang Ji said to himself, he is old, he only wants the safety of the house, even if he goes to the head Cao Jixiang and others, it is a matter of no evidence, whether he can nail Cao someone is not clear, at least Shi Heng, the general who led the army, Emperor Jing will definitely not use this kind of unsubstantiated matter to deal with, then Wang Ji's house will be safe, it will be unlikely.
In Wang Ji's view, Yu Qian was only afraid that he would never be able to trust Ding Yi, but when Ding left Beijing and went out of the customs, he came to hold a literary meeting to raise funds. The person in charge who wants to run a college and successfully runs two academies is not there, and then comes here to raise funds to build a college, how can there be such a reason in the world? At that time, the academy of the Beijing division will be completed, will it be surnamed Yu or Ding?
Listening to the charter, this academy is set up for the children of the poor family, and Wang Ji hung up the title of Shangshu in the year of Xuande, where will he not see such a academy clearly, it is more about giving the ability to make a living than taking the imperial examination. Even such a academy, Yu Qian will not let go! If it is said that Lord Yu believes in Ding Yi, then it is really a ghost!
As for Emperor Jing, not to mention, Ding Yi came to him with treasures to do business and make money together, and he could throw Ding Ruyu out of the gate and send him to death.
Ding Yi, Wang Ji said to the guards beside him in a muffled voice: "Full, don't get drunk!" The guards who were still following him, looking at the old man's appearance, couldn't squeeze out half a word of comfort except for a long sigh.
And Liu Ji and Liu Mian, who came out of the Iron Gate. It was quite regretful, at first because Emperor Jing opened his mouth to Yu Qian, so he said that he would send military food to the Miyun avant-garde - Ding Yi personally sent the grain out of the customs, and he led the twenty-eight guards and Wang Yue and Du Ziteng to escort him; The grain of the imperial court is escorted by the imperial army, and there are military horses out of the customs, and it is also the practice of the imperial court to supervise the imperial history of the imperial army.
The land outside the customs is unpredictable, and the two brothers and sisters of the Ding family are not to mention it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is afraid that there may not be a good end in the future, but Liu Ji won this errand and supervised the imperial history of the army. But after hitting the road, he realized that he had fallen for Wang Yue. Because when he hadn't gotten this position at that time, he asked Wang Yue to entertain him. Ask him if he has done this errand?
"My teacher is here. The students waited for the 800 students under the door to escort together, what did the seniors think? When he got up, Wang Yue struck the case and said: "At that time, there were less than ten disciples around my master, and they stepped on the enemy camp on a snowy night, rescued the soldiers, and picked strong horses; Seven hundred soldiers that day. Dare to be thousands of iron horsemen and be annihilated in a battle! Hate not to serve Mr. at that time! ”
Liu Mian also felt reasonable when he heard it, yes, Ding Yi did bring less than ten people. calmly stepped on the snow to save the captive horses and returned; Within a few days of the 700 men being rescued, thousands of horsemen were burned, and none of them escaped. There are 800 people now, a full 800 people, even if the rumors are bad, they can't resist it, and it should be safe to protect their safety, right?
Besides, there are 500 soldiers holding the grain and grass of the imperial court!
How bad was Xu Hui's reputation at that time? Didn't he follow Ding Ruyu to get rid of his infamy and be promoted to govern the river? Ding Ruyu is also a brave and incomparable person! Liu Mian went to fight for this errand of the imperial history the next day. He is the same as Wan An in this regard, they are very good at seizing opportunities and can also clear themselves.
As a result, as soon as he got on the road, he almost cried, he didn't care about what happened to the Ding family brothers and sisters in the future, Liu Mian was not Wang Ji or Shi Heng, he only knew that he could be promoted by holding Ding's thigh now, and he didn't have any handle to fall on Ding's hand, he was promoted, and there were ways to evil Ding Yi and draw a clear line.
But he's afraid of death!
Eight hundred students, eight hundred children, okay? Looking at the appearance of thirteen or fourteen years old, although he stands straight and neat, but such a big child, and for the extremely vicious steppe tartars, is this going to die? Is this Ding Rongcheng's stupid trick after self-aggrandizement? With 800 children, expect those officers and soldiers to protect this group of children? Still holding the "Analects" in his hand, the children who read aloud in unison from time to time during the march, Liu Mian was really about to spurt out a mouthful of blood, but at this time, unless he hurt himself, no one would come to run for him, but if he hurt himself, then Ding Yi's thigh would not be hugged in the future.
So Liu Mian quickly made a decision, he left the ranks of the soldiers, and went directly to Ding Yi's side, and the thousands of households who led the team persuaded him: "Liu Yushi, the border is dangerous, you have to listen to what I said, no matter how strong Ding Rongcheng is, he can't have three heads and six arms, right?" can get on the battle array, personal martial arts really can't help, and there is a long string of dolls over there! Ding Rongcheng can't take care of those babies, can he still take care of you? ”
"Shi Jianfei has been in battle for a long time, and what you said is naturally the truth of survival on the battlefield." Liu Mian politely arched his hand at this thousand households, but tilted his head, gritted his teeth and said: "However, my generation of scholars, patience, greed, life and fear of death? It is the danger over there, the students will go over, if the Tartars come, Ding Rongcheng will not be able to resist it, and the students will also use this seven-foot body to block a knife for those children! Qianhe, thank you and take care! ”
After that, he kicked the horse and went to Ding Yi's side, without him, he is such a speculative person, once he is forced to the Jedi, the gambling will be made, relying on this team of soldiers, I am afraid that I can't count on it outside the pass, and now, Liu Ji will come out and follow behind Ding Yi, if he doesn't die this time, he will return to Daming, he knows that with Ding's temperament, even if he doesn't want to take credit, he will reward himself for this affection!
This night, the osmanthus flowers are beginning to bloom, there is incense wafting, and many students are waiting for the list to be released;
This night, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, those who have gained power and those who have lost power, each have their own thoughts and plans;
This night, in Thunder Academy, there are students out of the customs, guns on their shoulders, knives on their waists, and Xiao Xiao in the autumn wind. (To be continued......)
