Chapter 32: Dragon Boat Festival (2)
During the Dragon Boat Festival, at dusk, on the south bank of Tianjin Bridge, in an unknown wine shop, several teachers and students of Jinling Lecture Hall were gathering.
There are three tables of guests on the first floor of the restaurant, an old man who is over half a hundred years old has a table, another table of eight or nine men, and the remaining table is Tian Yi, Li Tang, Wei Jinyu and Zhenzhidao, four instructors and students of Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
The four of them are all from Lin'an City, they have known each other before, and now they are working and studying in the Jinling Lecture Hall. Today is also the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and the emperor and principal returned to Lin'an City, and they came out to relax.
"Come, drink!"
Wei Jinyu's face turned red and he picked up his wine glass.
Tian Yi picked up the teacup, glanced at Wei Jinyu, and reminded:
"Old Wei, just this one cup. Drunkenness is strictly forbidden in Jinling Jiangwutang, you know. ”
He and Li Tang are instructors in the martial arts hall, so they don't drink a drop of wine, and they also want to play a leading role for the students.
The matter between him and Wei Jinyu's sister Wei Sisi, Wei Jinyu and Wei Liaoweng didn't know. Or rather, it's not particularly clear.
"Don't worry, Instructor Tian. I know the rules of Jinling's martial arts hall. ”
Wei Jinyu nodded, finished drinking, and turned the wine glass down, signaling that he would not drink.
It's still a festival period, as long as you don't get drunk, I believe that the martial arts hall will not interfere. What's more, it was just dark, and there was still some time to digest before everyone finished eating.
"Instructor Li, don't always stare at the two of us with a dark face. Over there in Jinling University Hall, those guys sometimes drink secretly, and even if the school finds out, it won't be so strict. ”
Zhenzhidao watched Li Tang eat and drink tea with a black face, but he didn't move the wine glass, and said jokingly.
"Instructor Tian, in the past, you two followed the principal's ass all day long, and Lao Zhen and I secretly always said that you were the principal's eagle dog and wanted to clean you up. Now it's a good thing that you have all become instructors, and the two of us are reprimanded by you casually, and we don't dare to say anything. It's unexpected! ”
Li Tang's face was black, Wei Jinyu quickly picked up the conversation and made a joke between Tian Yi and Li Tang.
"Old Wei, don't take me. Heaven and earth conscience, I never thought of cleaning up the two instructors, you must not believe Lao Wei's words. ”
Zhenzhidao hurriedly explained to Tian Yi and the others.
In fact, he has a gentle personality, and it is indeed Wei Jinyu, a thorn in the sky, who is not pleasing to Zhao Hong and the people around him.
"It's nothing, you don't know each other if you don't fight. But then again, you can't be lazy, you have to keep up with your studies and drills. The principal attaches great importance to the students of the martial arts hall. You've got to get hold of it. ”
Tian Yi said to Wei Jinyu and the others, which was meaningful.
Zhao Hong was ambitious, and he attached great importance to the northwest frontier. He was worried that the students of the first phase of the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall were likely to graduate early.
"Instructor Tian, what you said is light. Jinling talks about Wutang, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, if you want to get ahead, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”
Majido shook his head, as if he was feeling.
"Indeed! You are like Meng Hui, Yu Jue, Cao Youwen brothers, Xiang Shibi, etc., these people are all skilled in archery and horses, and have good brains. Physical training, tactical training, they are all a breeze. They are mainly subjects such as learning cohorts and physical training. Maybe in less than half a year, they will be able to graduate. ”
Wei Jinyu continued.
It turned out that he thought he was great, but after he came in, he found that there were too many people who were better than him, which really made his arrogance disappear a lot.
"Wei Jinyu, you're not bad. True Zhidao, you are much worse. Compared with Jinling University, you are a soldier, they are not. You must not give up after all the hard work you have worked so hard to come in. Look at Zhang Zhengsi, at the beginning, he practiced every day, but his progress was fast, and he did not fall behind in class and drills. Once something happens to the court, they can come in handy. Can you? ”
Li Tang finally interjected with a black face.
Meng Heng has been in the army for many years, and he has taken the artillery department, which just makes up for the shortcomings.
Yu Jue was far ahead in his homework, and he chose the cavalry department, which had a lot to do with his poor riding skills.
Cao Youwen also chose the artillery department, both of his brothers are skilled in archers and horses, and he, like Meng Hui, is also aiming at the new branch of firearms.
As for some other outstanding students in the lecture hall, Wang Jian and Zhang Zhengsi chose the infantry section, Cao Shixiong and Cao Erxiong brothers now chose the artillery section, and Xiang Shibi and Cao Youwan chose the cavalry section, which are all the best among them.
As for those Lin'an gentlemen in Jinling University Hall, they often drink secretly, and this matter has to be played by Zhao Hong, the nominal president of Jinling University Hall, to rectify the school spirit of Jinling University Hall.
"Zhang Zhengsi, he's just a ...... in Lin'an City"
Wei Jinyu's words were glared at by Li Tang's eyes, and he quickly swallowed them back.
Heroes are not judged by their origins. This is what the emperor principal said in the first history class of the martial arts hall in class, and solemnly warned everyone in the class.
"Instructor Tian, I met that Wu Min today, and she asked me to inquire about Li Siyu. Is the principal back? ”
Majido raised his glass and asked casually.
"Wu Min?"
Wei Jinyu glanced at Zhenzhidao in surprise, then smiled and said in a low voice:
"Lao Zhen, how are you and Wu Min? Did she bully you? ”
"How can there be such a thing? It's just a big cleaning together and a few words! ”
Zhenzhidao's eyes flickered, his face turned red, and he quickly denied it.
Even if there is such a thing, it will not be confessed to death.
"The principal has not returned from Lin'an City. He is the king of a country, and he has to deal with the government, which is not as easy as us. However, in my opinion, Li Siyu's matter should not involve Zhang Zhengsi, let alone punish him. ”
Tian Yi ate the vegetables slowly and said softly.
Li Siyu has the words of a matchmaker, and her parents' orders have been urging her husband to get married. Li Siyu had no choice but to enter the Jinling Lecture Hall, and after her parents found out, they wanted to forcibly tie Li Siyu back, but was destroyed by Zhang Zhengsi and the guards of the Lecture Hall.
Standing in Zhao Hong's position of protecting the calves, he will definitely favor the students of the martial arts hall. Zhang Zhengsi rescued his classmates, and he should be fine.
Li Tang slapped the table lightly, shook his head and said angrily:
"This Li Siyu's father and eldest brother are really not things, and his daughter and sister are not let go! With such a cold-blooded family, no wonder Li Siyu wants to run! ”
If it were him, he wouldn't have dealt with his family like this.
"The marriage contract has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Li Siyu ran out secretly, and her family took her back to get married, which was in line with etiquette. Zhang San must be fine, but now I just don't know, what should the principal do with this matter? ”
Wei Jinyu said with a frown while eating the vegetables.
Everyone in the room nodded. Although Li's father treats his daughter simply and rudely, he can't find fault with etiquette.
Zhao Hong loves students like children, and he will definitely protect his shortcomings. Zhang Zhengsi acted bravely, and there should be nothing wrong. But Li Siyu is different, his motives for entering the lecture hall are not pure, and he may be forced to drop out of school by Zhao Hong and sent home.
"Li Siyu's matter is okay to say, after all, she is a student of Jinling Martial Arts Hall, and she is already a soldier of the imperial court, and the principal will not care."
Tian Yi said quietly, suddenly lost.
Three from four virtues, three outlines and five constants. The woman's fate was tragic, but she had to go along with it. Li Siyu dared to escape from marriage, and his courage was amazing.
"Your Majesty is busy with political affairs, and he is anxious all day long, and he has to be distracted by these trivial matters. It's annoying to think about! ”
Li Tang grimaced and said indignantly.
If he doesn't do anything, the officials are corrupt, and the military and government are in a mess, Zhao Hong has every opportunity, which is exactly what he said:
Wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and work more than donkeys.
It's already abusive enough, and I also encountered these things like Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall. It's a pity they can't help.
Wei Jinyu was silent.
After entering the Jinling Lecture Hall and having more contact with Zhao Hong, I found that the emperor was not so high, but lived a much harder life than them.
The emperor's headmaster who worked so hard made people awe-inspiring and made him feel pitiful.
"Your Majesty is just too anxious. What can only be done in 30 years, he wants to do in 3 years. The implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road involves the interests of all parties, and it is so easy. His Majesty was worried, and he was too serious in this matter. ”
Tian Yi's words, Li Tang's face was black, and the chopsticks slapped heavily on the table, startling Zhenzhidao and Wei Jinyu.
"Tian Dalang, you're not talking! The Great Song Dynasty has become like this, if Your Majesty is not in a hurry, is he still a good emperor? ”
Li Tang's voice was a little louder, and a table of people in the distance was eating and drinking, and some people looked bored and turned their heads to look.
"Li Tang, don't make a loud noise."
Tian Yi smiled slightly, not angry, and his voice was much quieter.
"It's useless for you to shout at me, I'm worried that Your Majesty will work too hard and the gains outweigh the losses. So many demons and monsters, including ministers of the DPRK and China, how many fuel-efficient lamps do they have? Your Majesty is difficult! ”
Tian Yi sighed, Li Tang was silent, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while.
The gaze of a table in the distance was retracted.
"Instructor Tian, what you said is extremely true!"
Majido nodded involuntarily.
"I was a petty official in Fujian, and I know that there are bits and pieces of chickens and dogs. Most officials are just to be promoted and make a fortune, and the people's court is a fart in their eyes! Officials protect each other, the relationship is intertwined, the government and the wealthy clan are in collusion, the clan power is huge, the people are dull, and it is very easy to be provoked. With so many high-ranking officials on Jiangnan East Road, it may be difficult for the principal to smoothly implement the new policy! ”
Zhenzhidao was very emotional, and he poured a bowl of wine to drink, but was stopped by Li Tang.
Li Tang beckoned, and Xiao Er hurriedly took the wine down.
"Zhenyanai, you're right!"
Thinking of his father's words about Zhao Hong, Wei Jinyu shook his head.
"I'm afraid you're underestimating the headmaster. From the first day he wore a sword, his determination could already be seen. Don't forget, on the day he ascended the throne, he carried a grenade on his back and fought all the way to the main hall. The principal is fierce, and if anyone dares to block the new policy, I believe he will not compromise. ”
Wei Jinyu's analysis made everyone nod unconsciously, and Li Tang couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty is resolute and extremely decisive, whoever wants to stand in his way, I am afraid that he will be ruthlessly killed by him like Shi Miyuan. The implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road may also be crowded. ”
"Li Tang, Wei Jinyu, what you said is right. His Majesty implemented a new policy on Jiangnan East Road, and there are soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan System and Horse Division and the soldiers and horses of the Guard Ma Military Division that can be deployed, but there is no need to worry. As for some confidential matters, there are also these students from the Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, which are enough to deal with. ”
Tian Yi appreciatively echoed Li Tang and Wei Jinyu.
The implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road will definitely be the same as in history, and most of them will be obstructed. And with Zhao Hong's character and determination, if you can't get it right, it will really be a river of blood.
Li Tang glanced at the sky outside and said softly:
"The military regulations of the martial arts hall are strict, let's eat early, rest well after we go back, and we have classes and drills tomorrow, don't be too late."
Everyone nodded their heads and began to concentrate on their meals.
