In the summer of the first year of Song Longxing.

Jiangyin Army.

An enlightenment school in the south of Jiangyin County.

Mr. Lu, the old master of enlightenment, taught Mengtong at a glance, and below are twenty or thirty Mengtong, who are only seven or eight years old, and five or six years old.

It was early afternoon, the sound of cicadas was waving outside, and the Mengtong children were drowsy.

Mr. Lu was quite unhappy when he saw this, so he stopped lecturing, and with a snap, the Mengtong children sat up straight and pretended to be serious.

Mr. Lu had a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Shen Hongzhao, you come to memorize the text." ”

A six or seven-year-old Meng Tong stood up with a sad face.

Mr. Lu said: "You will memorize the "Learning and Chapter" that you studied the day before yesterday. ”

Mengtong Shen Hongzhao frowned and recited with a sad face: "Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, don't say it, there are friends from afar, it's very happy......"

The first section was fairly smooth, but the latter began to struggle.

But fortunately, even if it was a stumble, it could be regarded as a memorization.

Mr. Lu still nodded approvingly, although it was not very smooth, but he was able to remember it, and it was considered to have worked hard.

He said a few words of encouragement, then turned his head to see a Meng Tong behind him.

That Meng Tong was also sleepy-eyed, but even if he was bent on his waist, he looked much taller than the other Meng Tong, not like seven or eight years old, but like a teenager.

Seeing this child, Mr. Lu's face suddenly looked a little uncomfortable, he slammed the ring ruler on the table with a snap, and shouted: "Xin Zhen, stand up!" ”

Meng Tong, whose name was Xin Zhen, was taken aback, and quickly stood up, and as soon as he stood up, his tall figure suddenly became more conspicuous.

Mr. Lu snorted and said, "Xin Zhen, you come to memorize the article "University". ”

Hearing this, the Mengtong's faces were a little different, they are now starting to read the Analects, and as for the university or something, they don't know at all.

Meng Tong Xinzhi sighed, looking very cramped, and he was silent.

Mr. Lu snorted coldly and said, "No? ”

Xin Zhen raised his head and looked at Mr. Lu, and shook his head in shame.

Mr. Lu said angrily: "I know no, you don't listen to the class well, when the class starts today, I only see where you are sleepy!"

What is the situation outside, don't you know, the north of the Great Song Dynasty was mourned, and the Tartars drove us to the south.

What happens in the future, it depends on you people, how embarrassed you are not to work hard and not be motivated! ……”

Mr. Lu scolded angrily, and Xin Zhi was even more ashamed.

“…… Also, after all, you are reformed people, the raccoon dogs in the north are vulgar and uneducated, and it is normal that they don't like to study, this country is still relied on by southerners, and it can't be relied on by you reformers......"

Mr. Lu scolded so much that he didn't choose to speak.

Xin Zhi raised his head in surprise and looked at this old gentleman who was not usually very kind, but these words were harsh.

Both the Northern Raccoon Dog and the Reformers are contemptuous terms for those who have fled back from the Jin-ruled area, and such titles are generally not said in front of the people who return to the South, but now Mr. Lu actually said it to his face, which is tantamount to humiliating him in person.

“…… The court is good for everything, but it is too good for you reformers, according to the old man's opinion, you should not be allowed to cross the river, who knows if you will be spies sent from the north, and your father ......"

Xin Zhen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted: "Sir, please respect yourself!" ”

Mr. Lu's eyes met Xin Zhen's cold eyes, and he was a little flustered for a moment, but then he became angry and scolded even louder.

"Why, am I wrong, where were you reformers before, this Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the southern people, when Jiangnan was built, you surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, and now that Jiangnan is built, you will come to enjoy the blessings, is it wrong to say this!

Your father, how can he be a judge, he is a judge of Jiangyin, is he from a Jinshi, and has he made any contribution to the imperial court! ……”

It's no wonder that Mr. Lu is angry, the Lu family was quite prominent when Lu Yihao was in power, but after Lu Yihao's death, the recent situation of the Lu family is getting worse and worse, because Lu Yihao was quite jealous after being the prime minister for the second time, and people did not speak highly of him at the time, and he offended many people.

Therefore, the children of the Lu family are not having a good time in the imperial court, and recently, with the succession of His Majesty to Gaozong, they have lost some of their favor, and the rivers are declining.

Recently, because of the war in the Northland, more and more people have returned from the Northland, and many of them have been entrusted with official positions when they return, and after he is the Lu family, he can only spend time in a Mengxue, which naturally makes him jealous.

And since this Xin Zhi came to the school, he has been stunned every day, he doesn't look very smart, and he doesn't react much when he scolds him, but today he dares to resist, which makes him even more angry.

Xin Zhi looked coldly at Mr. Lu's angry appearance, and sighed: "Sir, my father, Xin Qiji, organized more than 1,000 people to revolt against the Jin State in Jinan and capture Licheng.

Later, he trained in Lingyan Temple, broke 10,000 gold soldiers, and then joined up with Geng Jing's loyal and righteous army, setting off a wave of uprising climax, and Shandong, Hebei, and Henan all had righteous people echoing.

Under the containment of the righteous army, the gold lord Wan Yan Liang was killed by his subordinates, but unfortunately the traitor Zhang Anguo betrayed the uprising, voted for the Jin country, and entangled the Jin soldiers to attack and murder Geng Shuai, otherwise the Shandong Loyal and Righteous Army must be the biggest Austrian aid of the Great Song Dynasty!

When his father Xin Qiji heard that Geng Shuai was killed, he was extremely sad, and gathered 50 of his subordinates to go deep into the Jin Soldier Camp to capture Zhang Anguo, capture and kill Zhang Anguo in the 50,000 Jin Soldier Camp, and then go all the way south to dedicate the traitor's head to Emperor Gaozong.

Sir, you said that my father's illness is not worth a Jiangyin sentence!

On the contrary, sir, you are a corrupt Confucian, what great contribution have you made to the country, you can talk about it in front of us Mengtong, and deny my father in front of me! ”

Xin Zhen's words immediately made the rest of the Mengtong exclaim in surprise, and their eyes showed excitement and admiration.

But Mr. Lu's face was blue and red, he naturally knew this, but his uncle Lu Yihao in his clan had a lot of opinions about the return of northerners to the south, and he even had a bad impression of the so-called reformers, so he would criticize him when he had the opportunity.

However, most of the previous listeners were southerners, or northerners who went south when they were in Jingkang, so naturally no one refuted him, but today he was refuted by a yellow-mouthed child, and his face naturally couldn't hold back.

And what surprised him was that usually this Xin Zhi was silent, and his expression was quite sluggish, looking a little silly, why was the word so sharp, and that glance just now made him a little flustered, what was going on?

Mr. Lu was ashamed and angry, lifted the ring ruler and strode to Xin Zhi, raised the ring ruler high and hit it down, Xin Zhi grabbed the ring ruler like lightning, and hit the table next to him, the ring ruler broke and the sawdust flew out, Mr. Lu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, was tripped by Meng Tong's feet and fell, and fell to the ground, covering his arms and screaming.

"It hurts! It hurts! It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you rebel, you are trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors! It's the other way around! What a good son who was taught by Xin Qiji! ……”

Meng Tong helped Mr. Lu up, pointed at Xin Zhi and scolded: "You are finished, Mr. Lu's family is a big family in Jiangyin, you dare to beat Mr., this time you will not only be ruined, but even your father will be implicated!" ”

The Mengtong helped Mr. Lu to walk.

Xin Zhi watched Mr. Lu being helped away, shook his head and sighed, the peaceful days were still over after all.
