Volume 1 From the Academy Chapter 50 The Mandarin Festival
Yue Wangfu.
Li Jingyou took the leather whip and slammed it on the backs of the three kneeling guys.
The force of the whip was so great that the backs of the three people were already fleshy and bloody.
But even so, the three of them never cried. Because, crying out is death, and if you don't cry, there is still hope for survival.
King Yue is temperamental, moody, and no one can guess it.
If the crying is too loud and disturbs him, maybe he won't be able to save his head.
This is the rule of survival that every person in the Yue Wang's Mansion must follow.
After beating a little weak, Li Jingyou threw away the leather whip, lay on the wooden couch on his side, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "How?"
Sun Yuxiang said lightly: "Extraordinary." ”
Li Jingyou nodded and said, "The bones are very hard. No wonder life is so hard!"
"What are you going to do?"
Li Jingyou spit out a breath of turbidity: "If you are humiliated today, you will be repaid a hundred times in the future." ”
Sun Yuxiang's sword frowned slightly, and he muttered, "You're not afraid of forcing him into the hands of others?"
Li Jingyou sneered: "What I can't get, no one wants." If anyone gets it, I will kill him with him. ”
"But as you wish. Sun Yuxiang dropped this sentence and floated away.
Yanling Academy.
Chu Yi led Song Jiangming and Luochuan officials to visit the academy, and the scenery made the eyes of those officials shine and praise them.
"Little Marquis, it takes a lot of silver to build this academy. An official asked.
Chu Yi said with a smile: "I heard Lord Song say before that we Luochuan are congenitally deficient in teaching and educating people. Therefore, since it is going to become the first academy in Luochuan, the money is not a problem, the key is to be able to cultivate talents. ”
Song Jiangming took over the words: "Little Hou Ye, I don't know anything. Every ten years, I have to hold a grand 'Wenhua Meeting' in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Ministry will rearrange the 'Wenhua List' according to the final ranking of each college. Those who enter the list will be rewarded by the imperial court. ”
Chu Yi became interested and asked, "When will this Wenhua be held?"
Song Jiangming said happily: "The officials have issued an official document, and this year's Changzhi Festival will hold a 'Wenhua Meeting'. In the past, each prefecture sent one seowon to Kyoto to compete in the final competition. ”
Chu Yi asked, "Then which academy in Yunzhou participated in the competition last time?"
Song Jiangming said in a deep voice: "Xiangshan Academy, which ranks fourth on the Wenhua List. ”
Chu Yi frowned slightly: "How many academies are there in Yunzhou that are qualified for the competition?"
Song Jiangming said: "According to the past, there were eight academies in Yunzhou. ”
"Then our Yanling Academy is eligible to participate?"
Song Jiangming looked at an official behind him, and saw a person take two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Little Marquis, don't worry, our Yanling Academy will definitely represent Luochuan in the Yunzhou Qualifiers." ”
Chu Yi laughed and said, "Then this matter will be bothered by Lord Lao Song." ”
Song Jiangming said with a smile: "This is also a major event for me in Luochuan, so I should do my best." ”
Chu Yi sent away Song Jiangming and these officials, and then found Liu Decai to discuss the competition.
"The subordinates have heard a little about the Wenhua Society, but they don't know the specific situation. It's better to let Lin Xiao investigate the situation of the last competition. In this way, we can also prepare. Liu Decai said.
Chu Yi nodded and said, "Okay." Uncle Liu, you can do this matter yourself. By the way, you take Song Ping with you, and you leave the affairs of the government to him. ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Also, how many students will the academy recruit this time?"
Liu Decai hugged his fists and said: "The academy has a total of 218 students, 175 in the city and 43 outside the city. ”
"Uncle Liu, tell them that the best seedlings will come out of this batch of students as soon as possible in the next few days. When the time comes, concentrate resources on key training. ”
Liu Decai frowned slightly: "Childe, is this a preparation for the Wenhua Club?"
Chu Yi sighed: "Although it is a good time, the academy has just been established, and the quality of students is worrying, and it is even more 108,000 miles different from other academies. In the short term, we can only find some talented and good seedlings for intensive cultivation, which may be able to achieve temporary results. ”
"Childe, is there a sentence that I don't know if to say or not?" Liu Decai hesitated.
Chu Yi saw that he was worried in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu wants to say that even if we can pass five levels and kill six generals, we will still meet Xiangshan Academy in the end." ”
Liu Decai said helplessly: "Xiangshan Academy has stood for thousands of years, with a rich heritage and many talents. Compared to it, it's like a firefly. ”
In the eyes of everyone, Xiangshan Academy is a high mountain, and it is daunting, how dare you dare to trample it under your feet?
Liu Decai thinks so, Song Jiangming thinks so, and the entire Luochuan City should think so.
Chu Yi knew in his heart that this was the limitation of human cognition.
The older the history, the easier it is to restrain people's thinking. If the mind is rigid, then the thoughts and actions will also be rigid.
If you want to break this inherent rigidity, you must thunder a thousand blows, give them a super shock in their hearts, and shatter the "fence" in their hearts.
For a mountain, there are two ways to solve it.
One is to give full play to the spirit of Yugong to move mountains and use time to eliminate it, but what he lacks is time. The other is to exert the power of explosives and explode instantly to achieve the effect of opening up the mountain and rubbling.
So, what he has to do is to find those "explosives".
Chu Yi was confident: "The academy competition is tantamount to fighting the enemy on the battlefield. Xiangshan Academy, as a victorious general, will definitely not take the academies in Yunzhou in its eyes. And the art of war is cloudy, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will be victorious. As long as you're prepared, why not?"
Liu Decai saw that he was so confident, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. He couldn't think of any way for his son-in-law to defeat Xiangshan Academy in such a short period of time?
But no matter what, Childe decides to do a good thing, he must do it well and do it to the extreme. He is convinced that he will do his best and obey the destiny of heaven. Even if it fails in the end, there are no regrets.
How to defeat Xiangshan Academy, although Chu Yi was confident, he was not completely sure.
He stood on the edge of the pond, looking at the almost withered lotus leaves in the pond, stunned.
"I heard the mountain chief say, you want to participate in the cultural meeting?" Jing Wuming walked up to him at some point and looked at those lotus leaves.
"yes!"
Jing Wuming turned his head and looked at him a few times: "It seems that there is a lack of confidence." ”
Chu Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it, the grasshopper shakes the tree, it's ridiculous?"
Jing Wuming said lightly: "The Giant Tiger Gang, which is in full swing, met you, but it was wiped out in an instant. ”
Chu Yi sighed: "To deal with the Giant Tiger Gang, force is enough. But the academy is different, it can't be seen clearly, it can't be touched, it's like a punch out, and the force is like a mud cow entering the sea. ”
Jing Wuming said: "Do not leave the daily use of the regular line, until the congenital before the painting." Confucianism seems to pay attention to birth, but in fact, it is more about entering the WTO, and it follows the way of 'inner sage and outer king'. ”
Chu Yi suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What is the 'Inner Saint and Outer King'?"
Jing Wuming explained: "'Inner Sage' is the theory of self-cultivation, and the 'outer king' is the theory of the function of the world. It's just that most people no longer pursue the 'inner saint', but hollow out their minds to chase the 'outer king'. ”
Chu Yi suddenly realized and blurted out: "No wonder the ancients often said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." ”
Jing Wuming said with surprise on his face: "How did you know these two sentences?"
Chu Yi smiled awkwardly: "I heard it from an old beggar by chance. ”
Jing Wuming pondered for a moment and continued: "The four major academies of the Southern Tang Dynasty have their own merits. Donglin and Yuelu pursue the way of the 'outer king', while Wanmu Thatched Cottage and Xiangshan Academy are biased towards the 'inner sage'. Therefore, if you want to win, you must attack the short with the long and take it by surprise. ”
Hearing this, Chu Yi's brain suddenly opened up, and he said happily: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." With Brother Jing here, there is no reason to be invincible. ”
At this moment, Lin Xiao hurried over.
Lin Xiao glanced at Jing Wusheng, and stopped talking.
Chu Yi said lightly: "It's all my own family, you can say it." ”
Lin Xiao hugged his fists and said: "Enlightened son, the situation of the Wenhua Club has been clarified. The Cultural Association is divided into a teaching group and a student group, and there are three subjects in the teaching group, namely poetry, scripture and talent, and the student group has one more swordsmanship, and the contestants can participate in other items at the same time. The results of the competition, the winner of each group gets a Wenhua order, the loser hands over a Wenhua order, and the draw has to come out. The final results are based on the number of Wenhua orders in the two groups. ”
Chu Yi groaned: "How many people participated in the last competition of Xiangshan Academy?"
Lin Xiao said truthfully: "Five people participated. The poems and scriptures of the two groups are all one person. ”
Chu Yi paused and said, "This year's contestants, you have inquired clearly. ”
Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "I have inquired clearly." There are only two people in the teaching group of Xiangshan Academy, and three members of the student group participate. ”
Chu Yilai asked with interest, "Who are the two members of the teaching group?"
"Childe, Xiangshan Academy has produced a genius named Yi Shuihan. This man is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and his swordsmanship is outstanding, except for his talent, the other three subjects are all played by him. The talent competition is a woman named Mu Qing. The subordinates have inquired clearly, Mu Qing is the daughter of Sima Mu Wansheng in Yunzhou, her appearance is beautiful and refined, and her talent is the best in Yunzhou. ”
"Oh?"
"How do I feel that this talent competition is more like a talent show, selling my daughter. ”
Lin Xiao took over: "Son Qiyu, any woman who goes to Kyoto to participate in the talent competition will either enter the palace or the palace. ”
"I see!" Chu Yi realized that the talent competition was wrapped in other purposes.
"If nothing else, our Mu Sima will be promoted one day. ”
Jing Wuming's eyes showed appreciation, and he smiled: "Childe's eyes are like torches, and he sees the problem to the point. ”
Thinking of this, Chu Yi was a little hesitant.
According to the plan, the talent competition of Yanling Academy was conducted by Yuhuan, aiming to win the crown.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
The jade ring will inevitably make those men greedy.
It can't be, let Jian Wuchen stay outside the door, and kill one by one. After all, Kyoto is not Rakugawa, and it is very tricky to deal with it poorly.
"Childe is thinking about Miss Yuhuan?" asked Jing Wuming.
Chu Yi smiled bitterly: "That's right. ”
Jing Wuming said lightly: "Since ancient times, he has been raised in the deep boudoir, or he has hidden the golden house, or he is accompanied by a green lantern, and he can't escape a 'thin life' after all." In this case, why not shine in a lifetime, shine in the world, and take a walk in the next life. Besides, with the son here, there is always a turning point for everything. ”
Chu Yi smiled and said, "Brother Jing, that's not how the sycophants are filmed." ”
Jing Wuming said with a smile: "As long as you don't slap the horse's hooves." ”
