There was an awkward silence in the carriage.

"When it's time for the big competition, don't say a word, whether it's piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, don't participate in it, don't embarrass our academy, you know?" a scholar eunuch broke the silence.

Du Yan looked at him like an idiot and said, "I'm the head of the mountain, are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"

As soon as these words came out, the other party's face suddenly changed.

Du Bian had sacrificed his life to block arrows for the mountain chief before, but then the mountain chief did not show any affectionate actions, everyone felt that Du Bian's fate would not be changed, but today the mountain chief actually asked him to replace Tang Yan, which shows that Du Bian's words are true.

Suddenly, the scholar and eunuch who taught Du Bian a flattering smile and got up to bow to Du Bian. Changing your face is a piece of cake for eunuchs, and if you want face, don't be a eunuch.

However, he was stopped by the scholar eunuch led by him, and said: "We scholars have a competitive spirit in our hearts and a backbone in our bodies, how can we tend to be inflammatory?"

This is righteous, but why didn't he dare to say half a word in the face of Li Wenyu just now?

In fact, this scholar and eunuch are scheming, and without Tang Yan, he would definitely lose this big competition between the three universities. And once he loses, Li Wenyu's future will be gone, not only can he not keep his position in Dongchang Wanhu, but he can't even be the head of the academy, which is completely a loss of power and humiliation to the party for the eunuch party, and the previous mountain chief was punished to guard the mausoleum because he lost the big competition and cut 1,500 acres of school land.

So they feel that Li Wenyu is about to get out of breath and need to hug another thigh, that is Tang Yan, this is the real Cotai Avenue.

"Without Tang Yan, we will lose, and the remaining 4,000 acres of school land in the college will not be saved. The scholar eunuch at the head said: "I really can't understand why the mountain chief is like this, why don't we go to Nanning and beg the mountain chief to take back his life, and continue to let Tang Yan Xie Yuan lead us to fight with the Lijiang Academy and the Nanhai Dojo." ”

I have to say that these people are really bold for speculation, and they are willing to take such a big risk in order to curry favor with Tang Yan.

......

Nanning Mansion is about 900 miles away from Guilin, and it took three days to arrive in Nanning Mansion.

Although Nanning Mansion is not the seat of the provincial capital, it is no less than Guilin Mansion in terms of city size and prosperity. Because there were many Tusi forces in Guangxi, and there were many rebellions before, there was a time when the residence of the Liangguang Governor's Mansion was in Nanning, and it was not until a few decades ago that it was moved to Guangzhou.

Nanhai Dojo is located in the west of Nanning City, is a super manor covering an area of tens of thousands of acres, which has horse farms, barracks, weapons factories and so on. It is said to be a dojo, but it is actually a professional military school in ancient times that was biased towards martial arts.

The people of Guangxi are fierce, so the disciples cultivated by the Nanhai Dojo have always been very good, and they have exported a fraction of the talents for the Imperial Legion, and the limelight has completely overshadowed the martial arts academies of the surrounding provinces, and even many generals from other provinces have sent their disciples to the Nanhai Dojo.

The Nanhai Dojo is completely the pride of the entire Guangxi Province, and it is a huge force that no one can provoke.

When it was almost dark, Li Wenyu and his entourage rushed to the gate of the Nanhai Dojo, and it was Zhu Biao, the deputy head of the Nanhai Dojo, who came to greet them.

"I'm sorry, Lord Li Wenyu, we will go to greet Ouyang Shanchang of Lijiang Academy, and I will greet you, I hope you don't dislike us for being snubbed. Zhu Biaopi smiled and said with a smile.

He used to be a deputy commander in chief of the Northern Army, and he was injured in the back in a battle, so he retired to the Nanhai Dojo as a deputy mountain commander. And the general in his mouth is Zhu Wuya, the head of the Nanhai Dojo, the former chief military officer of Guangxi, who has made great achievements in suppressing the Tusi rebellion, with very old qualifications and a very high status.

At this time, Zhu Wuya went to greet Ouyang Tan, the mountain chief of Lijiang Academy, and did not come to greet Li Wenyu, obviously with contempt. However, this is also very normal, although there are also contradictions between the civilian officials and the military general group, but the two sides have common interests in the eunuch forces.

In the past few years, how many fields have been cultivated by the Lijiang Academy and the Nanhai Dojo in partnership with the Eunuch Academy? A full 6,000 mu, worth 200,000 taels of silver.

"Well, lead the way. Li Wenyu said lightly.

Zhu Biao, deputy head of the Nanhai Dojo, said: "The humble post has prepared a banquet to wash the dust for Lord Li, please come with me." ”

Li Wenyu said: "No, take us to the residence." ”

"It's fine. Zhu Biao got off the donkey down the slope, and there was not much intention to invite a banquet sincerely.

The group came to a courtyard in the Nanhai Dojo and settled down, this courtyard is dozens of acres and hundreds of houses, and it is more than enough to arrange a few hundred people.

And although Tang Yan is not from the Guangxi Eunuch Party Academy, he is also a member of the Eunuch Party after all, so he also lived.

After settling down, several little eunuchs immediately prepared meals for Li Wenyu.

After Li Wenyu bathed and changed clothes, he was comfortably soaking his feet when a Dongchang warrior came in and said, "My lord, Mr. Zhang Yangming asks to see you." ”

Immediately, Li Wenyu got up immediately, and even didn't bother to wipe his feet and put on clogs and went out to greet him, this time he was not pretending, he really respected this Mr. Zhang Yangming from the heart.

......

Zhang Yangming, the supreme adjudicator of the three-university competition.

He is a master who is famous all over the world, a true Confucian. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his academic works are popular throughout East Asia. Whether he went to Annam, Korea or Japan, countless fanatics came to pay his respects.

Not only that, but he is also the only one who has been the only one in the past hundred years, connecting the middle yuan, the yuan, and the champion. Although his hometown is in Guangxi, he went to Jiangsu to participate in the imperial examination, which is the devil's province of the imperial examination. There is no other reason than because the imperial examination is the most difficult there.

The first half of this person's life was simply a legend, and he became a fourth-rank high-ranking official of the Daning Dynasty before he was thirty years old.

However, the second half of his life was a tragedy, because the radical reforms offended the civilian and military cliques, and it was difficult to move an inch in the officialdom. At the age of forty, he resigned and returned to his hometown of Guangxi, where he avoided the world and focused on learning.

Strange to say, when he was an official, the civilian clique used all its resources to attack him, portraying him as a demon, and even sending assassins to assassinate him. And after his resignation, these civil bureaucracy praised him as a saint and a scholarly banner for scholars.

It is precisely because he is highly respected and upright. Therefore, the victory or defeat of each session of the three universities competition is decided by him, and the three parties have no objections.

"Meet Zhang Xijiu. Li Wenyu bent down in front of him.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhang Yangming hurriedly supported Li Wenyu and said, "I am a commoner now, and I don't deserve such a big gift as Wenyu." ”

Li Wenyu still bowed and said sincerely: "In Wenyu's heart, Mr. Yang Ming will always be a bright light and my teacher. ”

Zhang Yangming helped Li Wenyu up and sighed: "Wenyu is also old, and now he has white hair." I remember that when you saved my life from the assassins of the Northern Stygian Sword Sect, you were not yet thirty years old. ”

The Northern Underworld Sword Sect, one of the largest martial arts collaborators of the Wenguan Group, has industries in every province in the world, and is as rich as the country. The first thing Zhang Yangming cleaned up when he served as the prefect of Taizhou was the fields illegally occupied by the Northern Underworld Sword Sect, which was more than 5,000 acres. That's why the Northern Underworld Sword Sect directly sent assassins to assassinate Zhang Yangming in the guise of a Japanese Kou, if it wasn't for Li Wenyu's protection, Zhang Yangming would have died that time.

"With the help of Tang Yan, a great talent, this time compared to Wen Yu, he is nine out of ten. Zhang Yangming said with a smile.

"Please have tea. Li Wenyu first served tea to the other party, and then said, "Tang Yan will not participate in this big competition of the three universities." ”

Zhang Yangming was shocked and said, "Why?"

Li Wenyu said: "Before leaving, the other party proposed to let me accept Zhang Yangming as my righteous son, and wanted him to inherit the position of the first leader of the eunuch party in the future, but I refused. ”

Zhang Yangming frowned and said: "The situation is so difficult, you still have such internal friction within the eunuch party?"

Li Wenyu said: "Which dynasty and which generation is not like this?"

Zhang Yangming said: "But in this way, you will definitely lose." Losing 1,500 acres of school land is still a trivial matter, the key is your future. ”

"Time, life. Li Wenyu said: "At that time, I took over this mess, and I was mentally prepared. ”

Zhang Yangming thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will persuade Tang Yan and let him help you unconditionally." As a member of the eunuch party, he should have unconditionally obeyed the interests of the group. ”

"Thank you very much. Li Wenyu didn't stop it, but he didn't do it in his heart.

Zhang Yang will be in his sixties next year, and he is still so naïve and upright, Li Wenyu can't bear to refuse his kindness.

"Someone, go and ask Tang Jieyuan to come over and talk. Li Wenyu ordered.

Soon after, Tang Yan came.

There were also the four scholars and eunuchs who participated in the big competition, they knelt straight in front of Li Wenyu, and kowtowed: "For the interests of the academy, for the interests of the eunuch party, please take back your life and deprive Du Yan of the qualification to participate in the big competition, only Tang Yan Xie Yuan can lead us to victory, and then Tang Yan can maintain the dignity and interests of the eunuch academy." ”

These four people really read badly, and their brains were bold, and they actually used Zhang Yangming to force Li Wenyu to the palace here.
