Xu Lide really started to buy a boat and go north next.

Because he has also heard for a long time that there are many great Confucians in the edict prison, there are many thought-provoking theories, and he himself is very curious to go to the edict to experience it once, so as soon as Xu Guo asked for this, he really said goodbye to his relatives and friends and left his hometown on the grounds that his father's order could not be violated.

In the middle of winter in the sixteenth year of Wanli, Xu Lide arrived in the capital.

Under the heavy snowfall, he braved the severe cold and took the initiative to take the surrender letter to the Fusi of Beizhen.

"What are you doing?"

And when he came to the gate of the Beizhen Fusi, Wang Ping, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard who was guarding the Beizhen Fusi, looked him up and down, and then asked.

Xu Lide straightened his chest, his eyes wandered, and he replied nonchalantly: "Naturally, I came to surrender!" ”

"Another one who came to surrender."

Wang Ping said impatiently, and then instructed the subordinates of the Jinyi Guard behind him: "Try his muscles." ”

As a result, a brocade-clothed lieutenant walked behind Xu Lide.

Xu Lide was asking, "What do you do when you try your muscles?" ”

"Ahh

Suddenly, with a bang, Xu Lide was directly thrown over the shoulder by the captain of the brocade guard.

Then, his whole body smashed into the snow firmly, the snowflakes flew, and the surrender letter in his arms also flew up, and was picked up by Wang Ping.

And Wang Ping picked up Xu Lide again.

Xu Lide didn't appreciate it, so he didn't thank Wang Ping, but held his waist on the ground with an angry face and asked, "What are you doing here?!" I voluntarily surrendered, and I will truthfully confess when I am charged, why should I be beaten first?! ”

"Is there anyone like you who humiliates Sven?!"

"Do you know who my father is?!"

Xu Lide was really angry.

Therefore, he, who has always been reluctant to use his father's name as a prestige, can't help but want to take out his father to suppress these brocade guards.

Of course, he was also afraid that these brocade guards would really be more excessive to him.

"No matter who Ling Zun is, all Confucian students who come to surrender must be tested first, not to give you Confucian students a dismount, but to let you go to prison next and not live because of your poor physique."

"This is the rule that has been teaching for more than ten years since the edict began, and I can't help you!"

"After all, you scholars, once there is a dispute over opinions, once there is a dispute between the wind and the exclusion of labor, you will be eager to take the other party's life, more ruthless than us brocade guards, if you don't try your muscles first, what if you are killed by the martial arts?"

"What's more, you still have to accept labor, if the foundation of the body is too weak, and if you are too weak, you will die if you are exposed to the wind and sun, so naturally you have to make other arrangements."

Wang Ping replied at this time.

After hearing this, Xu Lide sneered: "Then this place is really vulgar and barbaric, what kind of reason!" ”

Jinyiwei Wang Ping was not angry, mainly because almost every scholar who came here for the first time would scold the lecture environment in the prison like this, and they were also very prejudiced against Jinyiwei, and they were used to it, so it was difficult to have an emotional reaction, and even now when they heard these scholars scolding like this, they only felt that they were watching ignorant children scold themselves, and they didn't bother to care about it.

After Xu Lide scolded, he asked again: "Then can I be arrested now to listen to the lecture?" ”

"Can't!"

"You have to make an appointment before you go to class."

Wang Ping said.

Xu Lide felt ridiculous after hearing this, and asked, "I still have to make an appointment to study, and if I want to enter an edict, I still have to make an appointment to study?" ”

"Well, do you think anyone can come in?"

Wang Ping asked with a smile, and said:

"A child of eunuchs like you, who come here every day to go in and listen to lectures, there are not a hundred but dozens of them, so the people who need to be examined to see if they can enter the edict have been booked until a month later, and you can't come to surrender on the first day and then be inspected on the same day."

"As for studying, it is the reason that educating the people is the responsibility of the imperial court, so Your Majesty ordered that Jinyiwei give you a lesson during the period when you wait for the inspection after your appointment, so that you will not be inspected as unqualified at that time, and therefore you will not be able to enter the imperial prison, and as a result, you will surrender in vain, and you will stay in Beijing for so long."

After hearing this, Xu Lide said: "Okay, I'll make an appointment!" So what are we going to learn? ”

"Common sense, logic, and mathematics."

Wang Ping replied.

Xu Lide was puzzled after hearing this: "What kind of knowledge are these, and why do you want to learn them?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, it's convenient for you not to be embarrassed or ridiculed when you quarrel, and it also allows you to express yourself better, there was a Confucian student who didn't even know about Boluo Hewei except for the Four Books and Five Classics, and as a result, he was laughed at and forgot his ancestors, and then committed suicide."

Wang Ping replied.

After hearing this, Xu Lide muttered to himself: "Boluo River Guard, is there still this guard in the world?" ”

……

"Ezo is just south of the Polo River (Sakhalin Island), how can you abandon it, why don't you even know this, and you are very conceited and learned."

Six science corridors.

Lu Xia, who was originally a member of the military science of Xingming Academy, was in the Sixth Branch Corridor after he joined the Sixth Branch Corridor, because Huang Yuntai advocated opposing Magui's idea of attacking the Ezo Islands, and he opposed it at this time, and also questioned Huang Yuntai.

Because Huang Yuntai objected to the strategy Ezo was too far away from Daming, he also took the initiative to admit that he did not know that the Ezo Islands were in the south of the Boluo River.

Most of the civil officials who read the Four Books and the Five Classics did lack the ability to take the initiative to learn, and even many of them began to think narrowly because Cheng Zhu Lixue brought a lot of value to themselves, and began to think that as long as they understood Cheng Zhu Lixue, they would be invincible in the world and could govern the world well.

For example, there is a famous saying that "half of the Analects rules the world".

For many civil servants, they have more than half of the Analects, and naturally they do not need to study them.

Therefore, many civil servants lack a lot of common sense.

This also made the military officials who graduated from Xingming Academy and other places and made up for the civilian offices very speechless, lamenting their lack of basic common sense and feeling that their eyes were above the top.

It is true that the eye is above the top.

Although their abilities are not big, they have a big temper and a strong sense of self-esteem.

Huang Yuntai was scolded by Lu Xia for such a sentence, and his heart was furious, and he was as easy to do as a child, and smashed a cup of tea in his hand towards Lu Xia:

"You're just a broken soldier, don't you just know some miscellaneous studies, what qualifications do you have to teach me!"

Smack!

Lu Xia turned his head to dodge, and when the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, he said:

"How is National Geographic a miscellaneous?"

"You don't understand this, it can be seen that you don't have this country in your heart, and you are embarrassed to serve as an official of the imperial court here, and you are embarrassed to point out the country's opening up here, aren't you afraid that the suggestions you make because of your ignorance will mislead the country and the people in the future?!"

Huang Yuntai saw that Lu Xia was still scolding him, and in anger, he rushed directly towards Lu Xia and waved Wang Ba punch at Lu Xia:

"If you are a traitor and a thief, you dare to make a big statement here, I will kill you, a traitor!"

"Ahh

Lu Xia only had a shadowless foot, so that Huang Yuntai Wang's eight punches were not successful, and the whole person flew on the table instead, screaming in pain.
