Chapter 111: A soldier is a bandit
Half a month later, on the streets of Tokyo, people asking for food all over the place held banners held up by the enrollment of the Tokyo Gate Branch of Jizhou School and the promotion of the school district.
"I didn't go to Jizhou School back then, but now I'm laughing at begging."
"Give up the Taixue High School, the last imperial examination Jizhou School swept Tokyo."
"Outside the Nanxun Gate, the extension of the central axis, is only seven and a half miles away from the imperial city."
"The last three seats, each zhang is only 8,800 yuan!"
"Poetry, the dwelling of human life."
Under the encouragement of Shanzitang, all the people named Huazi are working hard to persuade the people of the Great Song Dynasty to study hard and make progress every day.
"See the dragon in the field team, today you go to the intersection outside the Nanxun Gate for ground sales."
"The flying dragon is in the heavenly team, why is the royal mansion at the entrance of Wuyi Lane on Xuanwu Street still hesitating? Hurry up and let them sign the house! β
"Don't use the team, you have to serve with a smile at the offline sales office today."
Such a small school district housing sales plan has greatly changed the political landscape of the world.
In those days, the Khitan envoy happened to visit, and when he saw that every flower child on the street was smiling, he went back and said to the emperor: "Song Minle, don't offend." β
While Xu Yongzhi's Shanzitang dominated the educational outlet and redefined learning, Xu Yongzhi also went to Lord Wang Pu every day after dinner to listen to Lord Wang's lectures.
Lord Wang is also an understanding person, and he knows that the emperor wants to reuse Xu Yongzhi, but if he opens a small stove alone, I am afraid that there will be discussions.
What kind of illegal make-up classes, increasing the burden of schoolwork on young people, and running rocket classes is not in line with the principle of fairness.
In addition to Xu Yongzhi, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangmei, Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baoxing, and Wang Pu's second son Wang Yizheng started the class together.
These three are also proper denominators, Wang Yizheng is sixteen years old, and if he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, it will be two or three years later.
Shi Baoxing is fifteen years old, and he is only going to be a military attache in the future, and he can only be regarded as a rough writer, but because of Shi Shouxin, he is very favored by Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Guangmei is very ambitious, but he is still young, he is only fourteen years old this year, he is the emperor's younger brother, and he doesn't need to enter Shike, just come to broaden his horizons and learn knowledge.
These three are generally handed over to Lord Wang's eldest son Wang Yisun to train and lecture, but Xu Yongzhi is called in alone by Lord Wang Pu every night to explain the classics and test his strategies.
The strategy is the exam question given by the Son of Heaven to the winners of the examination.
Today, we often say that the Jinshi examination is a lifelong examination, but in fact, it is not, the Jinshi examination is two examinations, one will be examined, a group of people are eliminated, and then these winners are sent to participate in the palace examination, and the emperor personally selects the ranking.
It was not a problem for Xu Yongzhi because he and Zhao Kuangyin often chatted.
They have talked in detail about the political situation and the governance of the country, and they are the kind of people who have a high degree of convergence in understanding.
But they use the vernacular, for the purpose of communication.
"Brother, how do we deal with the Khitans?"
"Your Majesty, I think it's eight words."
"What are those eight words?"
"It's called having money in hand, and there are soldiers in the land."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It costs money to buy a god arm crossbow, armor costs money, and military horses also cost money, and when the army moves, there are more places where money is needed, and this is money at hand."
"Where are the soldiers on the ground?"
"We have a forbidden army of 150,000, all of them are elite soldiers, but if you want to fight with the Khitans, it will not be possible to rely on them, in the border areas, we want to engage in group training, everyone ploughs the land with hoes, and suddenly the Khitans came, and as soon as everyone heard the sound of the bang, they replaced the hoe with a spear and went to gather with a bow and arrow, which is that there are soldiers on the ground."
"What you said is exactly what I want, I am going to let the regimental training envoy of Dingzhou organize the bow and arrow club over there, as for the money, I secretly built a warehouse, I deduct a silk from the Queen Mother every month, and let's use these silks to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun."
"Will they sell it?"
"Not for sale? If we don't sell it, we will arm 100,000 cavalry and beat them ......"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
It's a conversation that happens every day.
In the imperial court, what must be mastered is another language, which is the language of the court meeting that quotes scriptures.
If you don't speak in this way, no matter how high your military merits are, even if you are crowned a prince and a king, and there is no classic in one mouth, others will scoff at you and know that you are famous in the saddle.
You can only think about it and then speak.
"The strategy of stealing Ping Yanyun lies in the money service, the army is plotting, and it is useless without money; The thief army is coming, although the forbidden army is numerous, the water and fire are far away, and the poem is 'a martial artist, the heart of the prince'......"
Everyone wore long feet and heads, and their heads trembled, savoring the true meaning of your words.
"Do you think it's funny to talk like that?" Lord Wang Pu asked Xu Yongzhi.
He heard that Xu Yongzhi was the son of a merchant and a military attachΓ©, although he had the permission of the Yan Ram, he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he asked this purpose.
"How come, the next few hundred years may be the era of Confucianism, military generals can only fight, and scholars can lead troops." Xu Yongzhi said.
When he said this, Wang Pu was immediately relieved.
This young man is a man who understands.
"Don't you think this form is too pretentious?" Lord Wang Pu also wants to try Xu Yongzhi.
"Confucius's political proposition is to restore the Zhou rites, and the ritual is a variety of rituals."
"Confucius said that Ji's: Eight 佾 (yì) dance in the court, is it tolerable, who is unbearable?"
"Take the ritual music of the Son of Heaven to play, if you can endure this, then what can't you bear?"
"Confucius believes that what is destroyed is etiquette, and once the sense of ritual is destroyed, Xiaoxiao will be ready to move, and the rules will soon be broken, which is the collapse of etiquette."
"In the same way, this dynasty should also establish its own set of rules as soon as possible, so that both civil and military affairs can run on their own tracks."
"That's a very good point." Wang Pu praised sincerely.
At this time, the old housekeeper of the Wang family hurriedly came in:
"Master, please come out and talk......"
"Yongzhi is not an outsider, let's say it." The old man already regarded this disciple as a close person.
"There are iron cavalry commanders who have commanded Wang Yan to come and worship." The old butler said.
Wang Yansheng was out of the limelight on the night of the Chenqiao Mutiny, that is, he killed Han Tong who wanted to resist, and then killed Han Tong's entire family.
Xu Yongzhi also had a conflict with Wang Yansheng for this reason, and also used military law to deal with Wang Yansheng's person, Liang Zi, and it was settled.
"Why, is he here for me?" Xu Yongzhi is about to go out.
"Yongzhi, sit down, guests don't welcome guests, guests don't send guests, you go behind the screen to rest, I'll receive Wang Guanglie (Wang Yansheng's words)."
Wang Yansheng is no longer a young man, he is forty-three or four years old this year, with a steel hair, holding up the belly of a spirited general, he has gained a lot of weight in the past two months.
The Iron Cavalry has high military expenses and a large budget, and if you eat a little empty salary, you will have the money.
Everyone flattered him, saying that he was the first righteous and a hero in Chenqiao's night, and he was also full of pride, holding a straw belly:
"Optimus White Jade Pillar, don't dare to be; I can't talk about the purple and gold beams in the sea, but so many people worked hard that night, that is, my Wang got a blood and monopolized the great merit, this is not the emperor's grace, what is it? β
This fool has not yet figured out the situation.
Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny, the perfect state is no bloodshed, but Wang Yansheng killed Han Tong, killing the whole family, in fact, it created terror among the old ministers of the Great Zhou, and this matter is difficult to escape in the history books.
Han Tong has a son, Han Qi, whose nickname is Lu (also Niantuo) Huo'er, this young man is eighteen years old this year and is quite resourceful.
When Wang Yansheng killed Han Tong's family, he obviously killed him according to the number, but afterwards Xu Yongzhi's soldiers collected the corpse, but they didn't see the body of Lu Camel - Later, Zhao Kuangyin chased Han Tong's Zhongshu Order, and also hoped to find the child, but there was no news at all.
Wang Yansheng planted a mine for the leaders.
But he didn't know it yet.
In the past few months, he has become a guy who is full of smugness and can't wait to walk sideways.
Wang Yansheng began to make friends with people who were higher than him in the past.
For example, I drank with Liu Shouzhong tonight, Liu Shouzhong is now General Zuo Xiaowei, Zhao Kuangyin's old team, and one of the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society".
Liu Shouzhong's son is called Liu Yong, sixteen years old, working as a guard in the palace of the Jin Dynasty, but Liu Shouzhong has recently been influenced by the propaganda of the "school district room" and "school district room" in the city, and wants Liu Yong to study and be the most valuable talent in the tenth century.
When everyone talked about this, Wang Yansheng scoffed at this idea.
"What's wrong, Brother Liu? Do you really believe that the Great Song Dynasty will become a country run by scholars? β
"This is the general trend," Liu Shouzhong is an honest man, every night at seven o'clock, he arranges for his family to read to him the newspaper sent by the imperial court, to understand the national affairs, and to follow His Majesty the Emperor closely.
"Ahem, isn't that what you say? You see, the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, the Northern Han Dynasty, the Khitan, and 500,000 enemies, at least, these people are not allowed to be killed by us? With so much credit, can a reader compare? I don't look down on those kind of big people. β
"There are many people who are able to read." Liu Shouzhong was timid, and when he heard Wang Yansheng's contemptuous words, he was reluctant to continue.
"For example?"
"The best fan of learning, Lord Fan, Lord Wang Pu, ...... "Liu Shouzhong doesn't know anything about who is learned in the whole court, but there is no problem when it comes to saying that the prime minister is knowledgeable.
"Hahahaha!" Wang Yansheng let out a barbell-like laugh.
"Guangyeol, why are you so happy?"
"Don't mention these two people," Wang Yansheng said, "I was in the palace at the time, and I took out the knife, and these two people were so ashamed and ashamed." β
"Is there such a thing?"
"Wang Pu blames His Majesty again, and ......" Wang Yansheng was elated.
"Don't don't, let's not talk about this!" Liu Shouzhong hurriedly stopped him.
"In short, the civil officials are a group of people who have no discipline and are timid and afraid of things, Your Majesty is the most powerful general, the Great Song Dynasty, will always be an enterprising militarist!" Wang Yansheng was triumphant.
"Children still have to learn culture sooner or later, and it's better to start early than late." Liu Shouzhong still defended his reason for buying a house in the school district.
"Do you believe it or not?" Wang Yansheng said.
"Believe what?" Liu Shouzhong was confused.
"I'll go to Wang Pu's house tonight, he's afraid of me." Wang Yansheng kicked his nose a little and put it in the face.
"Don't make a mistake." Liu Shouzhong's intestines are ruined, and if Wang Yansheng really goes, he will not escape the infamy of being a fool.
"Don't worry about it, let's bet, five hundred!" As soon as Wang Yansheng's wine strength came up, the bastard's strength came.
"Five hundred!" Liu Shouzhong was born in poverty, and he was most distressed about money.
"I'm going to eat Wang Pu tonight, and I asked him for a gift, and if I do it, you will lose me 500 yuan." Wang Yansheng said.
"Don't make trouble!" Liu Shouzhong hurriedly pulled him.
"You don't care about me! I'll go! Wang Yansheng went out in a hurry, climbed on his horse, and went out with a few family soldiers.
Confucius said: If you don't die, you won't die.
There was a good make-up class in this house, and Wang Yansheng came to knock on the door outside the door, ready to cheat and eat and drink.
Although Zhao Guangmei was young, her temperament was quite strong, and she was going out to teach Wang Yansheng a lesson.
He has a very low official position now, and he has a title such as a defense envoy, which is nothing more than receiving an allowance money, but the emperor is his own brother.
"Wait," Wang Pu waved his hand, "you all go behind the screen, no one speaks, let's hear what General Wang has to say." β
Wang Yansheng shook his stomach and came in with a big grin.
"Brother Guanglie," Wang Puzuo said, "why do you have time to come to the Humble House?" β
"Lao Wang, you scholars, do you look down on us as soldiers?"
"Where does this start?" Lord Wang Pu said politely.
"We've been working together for almost twenty years." Wang Yansheng said.
Wang Pu felt unhappy for a while.
Wang Yansheng was born in the Later Tang Dynasty, but he has always wandered in some low-level positions, and even today, his status is far lower than Wang Pu.
It's like today when you look at the door in the company, pat the general manager on the shoulder and say, how are our colleagues for so many years, this is purely self-feeling good, blindly exalting yourself.
"That's right, I've been a minister in the same hall for many years." Wang Pu said.
"It's been more than 20 years, so I've had to drink once, right? Do you see you've asked me? Wang Yansheng sat on the Taishi chair loudly.
"Someone," Wang Pu high-fived, "serve wine and get a few dishes." β
The housekeeper said honestly: "Master, the cook is off work, and this is almost the second watch." β
"Then let Madame cook." Wang Pu's eyes widened.
Sensible people know that it's time to leave, Wang Pu is definitely not angry with the housekeeper.
Wang Yansheng is not right, he always thinks about how he looked when he scared Lord Wang, and felt that he was a piece of material.
The old housekeeper was confused, and he couldn't really let his wife cook.
At this time, Xu Yongzhi quietly slipped out of the back door and found the old housekeeper.
"Where's the kitchen? I'll go with you. β
"I'll go too," Zhao Guangmei secretly followed, this kid is a teenager, and wants to see how Xu Yongzhi fiddles with Wang Yansheng.
The old housekeeper lit the fire, Xu Yongzhi handled the ingredients, Zhao Guangmei helped to help, and after a while, Xu Yongzhi began to stir-fry.
Fortunately, the ingredients are ready-made, including pork, smoked rabbit and chicken, and Xu Yongzhi tore the smoked rabbit on the plate first.
Chop up a raw rooster and stir-fry it in a pot with rattan pepper and green onion and garlic.
Then use a piece of half-cooked pork hind leg meat cooked by the cook, fry it with slices and green garlic, and put a little tofu fragrant and dry, and put it on a plate for wine.
The old housekeeper and the servant brought the food, Wang Yansheng poured a large cup, drank it with a bang, and then ate the food in a big gulp.
"It's delicious, it tastes good, it's not like our Kaifeng practice, is Madam a southerner? Or did you hire a maid from the south? Was it sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty? Wang Yansheng said.
That's not good.
is clearly pulling Wang Pu to take bribes, and there is also a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy.
Wang Pu's face was pale, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"I did it," Xu Yongzhi wore an apron and came in from outside.
Wang Yansheng recognized Xu Yongzhi and was taken aback.
"I heard that the teacher's house was visiting, and the disciple obeyed him." Xu Yongzhi looked at Wang Yansheng with a smile.
If it were Xu Jin, it would be enough, and the next person to come in was Zhao Guangmei.
"I helped cut the vegetables." Zhao Guangmei looked at Wang Yansheng.
Wang Yansheng's wine woke up all of a sudden.
Let the emperor's younger brother chop vegetables, stir-fry his brothers, and sit here to eat and drink, it's not like words.
"Hey, the defense envoy and the commander of the capital, you see, I didn't know you were here." Wang Yansheng mainly gave Zhao Guangmei a smile.
"What do you want to know?" Although Zhao Guangmei is still a half-grown child, she already has the majesty of being a prince.
Wang Yansheng knelt down with a grunt.
"The last general is wrong!"
"Let's go." Zhao Guangmei was annoyed when she looked at him.
"I hope that the defense will be ......"
"Get out!"
This voice startled Wang Pu.
Wang Yanzhang walked out of Wang Pu's house with a lot of urine.
"This is the status quo," Wang Pu shook his head, "The old man is still a little face-saving." β
"That's not right!" Zhao Guangmei clenched her fists.
"Since the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, let alone Wenchen, even if he is the emperor, he must let the martial artists depose him, and if he offends them, he may not be the prime minister, and he may not be the emperor." Wang Pu said.
"We call them soldiers, but in fact, soldiers who are not disciplined are bandits." Wang Pu said.
Zhao Guangmei looked at Xu Yongzhi, "In the future, Wenchen must mobilize troops and horses, and it can't be handed over to military generals, Baoxing, right?" β
"Baoxing?"
There was no answer.
Zhao Guangmei looked behind the screen, Shi Baoxing was already asleep.
