In February of the first year of Xingqing, Jiankang Mansion, Jinling City, Tianjin Bridge.

Tianjin Bridge, as the name suggests, the Son of Heaven passed through the Jindu. Because the north of the bridge is the original palace of the Six Dynasties, it is called this.

In the south of Tianjin Bridge, the north and south directions of the Royal Street, there are many shops on the side of the street, there are many wine shops, and the pedestrians are bustling and endless.

Zhuangyuanfang, in a restaurant facing the street, on the big table by the window on the first floor, Zhang Zhengsi, Wang Gui, and his party from Lin'an City, Zhang Zhengsi, Wang Gui and his party sat around the table, eating and talking.

"Third brother, the prosperity of this Jinling City is no worse than that of Lin'an City!"

Gao Hu swallowed a piece of meatloaf, picked up the teacup, and poured it down.

"The forbidden army of the palace division was greatly transferred, and more than half of the forbidden army went to other ways. Coupled with Jinling Lecture Hall and Jinling University Hall, if you think about it, how many people are missing in Lin'an City, of course, it is not as good as before! ”

Fang Hai said slowly, eating slowly.

Everyone didn't drink, this was Zhang Zhengsi's personal explanation, and everyone was used to it. After a few months of forbidden army and some training, everyone has a lot of looks and rules.

Of course, man depends on his clothes and horses on his saddle. Everyone is now wearing forbidden army armor, covered with wide robes and large sleeves, all of them are fierce and fierce, which also adds a bit of elegance. Who would have thought that a year ago, these seven people were still playful idlers in Lin'an City, and there was no tomorrow today.

Who can tell the fate of life?

"According to me, Lin'an City is full of wooden houses, there are too many people, and the houses are too dense. There are a lot fewer people now, which is a good thing. If there is a fire, it is easier to control it. Hopefully, this is not the case in Jinling City. ”

Referring to the dense housing in Lin'an City, Wang Guizhi shook his head.

There have been many fires in Lin'an City, and each time it is shocking, extremely destructive, and difficult to control.

Everyone nodded yes and agreed with Wang's argument.

"Third brother, I see that the young people coming and going on the street, carrying knives and guns, have different accents. I'm afraid these people are all here to take the Jinling Martial Arts Hall! ”

Du Er looked out the window and said with interest.

Zhang Zhengsi smiled slightly and nodded, but did not say a word.

The emperor founded the Jinling Lecture Hall to tell the world that those ambitious and ambitious young people from all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty probably didn't want to miss it.

It is no wonder that young people from all over the world flock to Jinling City to try their luck.

"I didn't think what the emperor said before, but now when I enter this restaurant, I find that those who can come in to eat and drink are either rich or expensive. Those ordinary people, there were not many people who came in. No wonder the emperor wants to implement a new policy, that is, to govern these dog days! ”

Wang Gui suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

As a forbidden soldier in Yujin Garden, he often heard anecdotes about the emperor, and Wang Gui was also infected.

"Ordinary people, they can't eat enough, how can they have the money to come in and eat and drink? Even if you come in, you will be kicked out by these guys who look down on people! ”

Du San picked up the teacup angrily, his fingers trembling slightly.

Many people did not even have land, so they had to work as tenant laborers. Those powerful officials can't plant a lot of land, but they are deserted, how can it be justified!

"It's not that you are so brave and ruthless, you beat Du Yanei, and then your second brother took you to Lin'an City. If it weren't for the third brother to take care of you, you and Du Erda would starve to death in the winter! When you enter the martial arts hall, you have to be honest, and you can't do anything again! ”

Wang Gui's eyes widened, and he unceremoniously lifted Du San's shortcomings.

Du San's face was red, his head was bored and he didn't say anything, Fang Hai quickly diverted the topic.

"It's all right now. The emperor exempted the people from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and punished these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, only by arresting these guys, can the world be peaceful and the people can have enough to eat! ”

"Wang Gui is right. Today is not the same as before, everything is in the past. ”

Du Er glanced at his younger brother and turned to Zhang Zhengsi, again respectfully.

"Third brother, I heard that Jinling Lecture Hall is going to be assessed. You say, "Can we go in?" ”

Zhang Zhengsi had a life-saving grace for his brother, and now he has brought his brother to the top, and he can't repay this affection.

Du Er's heart was not steady, everyone was together, and looked at Zhang Zhengsi.

These people are more than brave, but they have always been a little lacking in literacy and hyphenation. Jinling Lecture Wutang has to be assessed, and I don't know if it can be passed.

"It's enough to be able to read and write, and it's not to participate in the imperial examination, so don't worry. His Majesty asked the army to recommend 200 people, and our brothers were specially explained by His Majesty. When the time came, those examiners saw that it was a forbidden army, and when they saw that it was a few of us, they understood it in their hearts. ”

Zhang Zhengsi looked at everyone, and Zhengse said:

"You are all fierce and vicious, and you are not good people at first glance, what are you afraid of? This is a martial arts hall, not to see who is handsome and whose face is white. Emperor Chrysostom said, what are you afraid of! ”

Everyone was stunned, and then laughed.

From the dragon's work, the emperor will not forget, given the opportunity, he also has to fight for his own breath.

"It's just, even if you can't pass the test, it doesn't matter. It's a big deal to follow Uncle Zhou and Xu Daguan to arrest corrupt officials, and it's not bad to be sent! ”

Gao Hule laughed.

"That's it! Uncle Zhou Guo and Xu Daguan, that is also their own people! ”

"No matter what, the brothers have a bite to eat!"

Everyone nodded their heads, all smiling.

"I warn you, don't get carried away. Don't feel like you're a hero, and be proud of your achievements, that's not good. You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the emperor, if it wasn't for the third brother, what would we still be doing? Is there everything for today? ”

Wang Gui reminded everyone in a serious way.

Immediately, everyone at the table fell silent.

"Brother Gui, don't worry, the brothers know everything, and they won't bother the third brother!"

Du San immediately interjected and changed the topic.

"Third brother, I've heard that Jinling Martial Arts Hall is recruiting female students. Do you know this? ”

Female students!

Du San's words made everyone's eyes focus on Zhang Zhengsi.

"There's such a thing. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with Wei Shilang because of this, saying that he was an old antique and didn't know how to be flexible! ”

Zhang Zhengsi lowered his voice and said.

Zhao Hong set off from Lin'an City and went all the way north to Jinling, and he and Tian Yi followed him all the way. Zhao Hong allowed the martial arts hall to recruit female students, and he also knew a little earlier than everyone else.

"The old antique doesn't know, it won't be long before his two precious sons and daughters will enter the martial arts hall!"

Du Sanshen is mysterious, and his face is full of schadenfreude.

On that day, Wei Sisi said to him, "Jinling meets", and later saw that Wei Sisi often went to Yujin Garden, and then went to Jinling Lecture Hall to recruit women, everything was taken for granted.

Zhang Zhengsi was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly.

That Wei Sisi and Tian Yi are so close, and they often come to practice horseback archery, so they should want to enter the lecture hall.

As for Wei Liaoweng's son Wei Jinyu, a famous gentleman in Lin'an City. He was able to apply for the martial arts hall, but it was beyond Zhang Zhengsi's expectations.

"Speaking of martial arts to recruit women, Your Majesty is really different!"

Wang Gui said from the bottom of his heart, I don't know whether it is praise or depreciation.

"Your Majesty abolished the status of official prostitutes, let women apply for the Jinling Lecture Hall, and promulgated the anti-corruption law on Jiangnan East Road, which is interlocking, which has great meaning!"

Fang Hai turned the teacup in his hand, and there was something in his words.

"Your Majesty is a generation of holy lords, corporal Lixian, and loves the people like a son. It is not easy for official prostitutes to be in dire straits, and Your Majesty is good governance. However, His Majesty is far-sighted and takes one step at a time to see three steps. How can we guess his thoughts? ”

Speaking of Zhao Hong, Zhang Zhengsi couldn't help but be in awe.

Some people are like this, they can make people involuntarily reverent, willing to go to the soup for them, and do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to die.

Today's Great Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Hong is like this.

"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and in just three months, he has abolished the lowly status of official prostitutes, banned cockfights and crickets from binding their feet, established the Anti-Corruption Division, established the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Sailor School, and implemented the new policy on Jiangnan East Road.

Fang Hai's face was also solemn, and he sighed sincerely.

"Fang Hai is right! Just like the Jinling Lecture Hall, there is a cavalry department, an infantry department, an artillery department, a sailor department, a medical department, and so on. Let's just say that the artillery section, those artillery, one by one, are mounted on the ship, majestic. My saliva flowed all the way! ”

Gao Guoshou said excitedly, his eyebrows fluttering.

The artillery was transported from Shaoxing to Lin'an and then to Jinling, all the way by water. Except for Zhang Zhengsi, everyone is a follower.

"Guoshou, you have been practicing artillery in Yujin Garden. Looks like you're going to report to the Artillery Section! ”

Du Er laughed.

"I listen to the third brother. Together, brethren are better than anything else! ”

Gao Guoshou is categorical and unequivocal.

"Yes, we all listen to the third brother!"

Fang Hai was also full of smiles and nodded in agreement.

"Brothers, listen to me."

Everyone spoke one after another, and Zhang Zhengsi pressed his hand slightly, letting the brothers be quiet.

"What Wang Gui said just now was not wrong. Our brothers can have today, can enter Jinling to lecture martial arts, all by the emperor's grace, brothers must cherish, must not hang their children, let alone be arrogant. The emperor was able to ascend the throne, it was because he strategized and spelled it out by himself, let's just take the east wind of His Majesty. Do you understand? ”

Everyone nodded. The emperor killed all sides in the Forbidden Palace, and he had already made a bamboo in his chest. I didn't follow the right person, and now I am still abducted and deceived in Lin'an City, and I may have been imprisoned or died on the street.

"Brothers, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, many people can't dream of it. Your Majesty can afford us, Corporal Lixian, and we must also repay Your Majesty's kindness, which is the foundation of life. The brothers don't read a lot, and when they enter the Jinling Lecture Hall, they must seize the opportunity to learn more and practice more. As for what subjects to study, it is completely up to the brothers to voluntarily. Anyway, it's all about making achievements, and you can apply for any subject! ”

Zhang Zhengsi looked at the brothers, and said:

"Whatever you want to report, the brothers choose for themselves. Don't scruple with me. However, I would like to state in advance that I would like to report to the Infantry Section. Not why, because it was the infantry who finally settled the battle. ”

Zhang Zhengsi told him calmly, and Wang Gui and the others immediately became active.

"Third brother, brothers, I like artillery, I report to the artillery department!"

Gao Guoshou said embarrassedly. He likes to practice artillery, and it was good to practice artillery in Yujin Garden, so he decided to report to the artillery department.

"Excellent! Guoshou went to the artillery section. Fang Hai, Du San, what about you? ”

Zhang Zhengsi's gaze swept towards Fang Hai and Du San.

"Third brother, I want to apply for the Sailor Division!"

"Third brother, I'm the same as Fang Hai, I also want to go to the Sailor Division!"

Fang Hai and Du Sanyi said one after the other.

"Third brother, I'll go to the cavalry department!"

"Third brother, I'll follow Brother Gui, and I'll also go to the cavalry department!"

Gao Hu and Wang Gui immediately worked hard, and it was no surprise that they had to apply for the cavalry department.

"Third brother, it seems that only me and you have the same interests, and you are lonely and old in the infantry department."

Du Er laughed.

Zhang Zhengsi smiled and said:

"When I arrived at the Jinling Lecture Hall, I couldn't call Du Er Du or Du San, I wanted my name. Du Er is Du repentance, and he is also good at what he does, although he still has no regrets after nine deaths. Du San is Du Xian, the first to worry about the world, and dare to be the first in the world. Brothers, remember. ”

"Remember! Third brother! ”

"Third brother, I can't forget it!"

The Du brothers nodded again and again, and Du Er's eyes became moist.

"That's it! It will be fine in the future! It's getting better now! ”

Zhang Zhengsi patted Du Er's shoulder and said softly.

The people at the bottom don't deserve a name, and they don't have the confidence to scream. Now that the bitterness has come hard, I feel upright when I call it out.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Zhengsi and the others talked and laughed and left, and went straight to Jinling Lecture Hall.

The young gentleman dressed as a man at the next table quickly stood up, and what Zhang Zhengsi and the others said, she really heard just now. She quickly paid the money, looked around, cautiously, and kept up with Zhang Zhengsi and the others from a distance.
