Chapter 2 The Gentleman's Son
Lin'an County is the capital of the province of Gangdong.
There is a long street called "Wuwang Street" in the most prosperous main urban area of Lin'an County
The name of Wuwang Street originated from the Wuwang Mansion at the end of the long street!
The owner of the Wuwang Mansion is, of course, Yue Wu, the late Dazhu State of the Tianyuan Dynasty, who was named King Wu, and King Yue Wu had a mixed reputation in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and his merits were difficult to evaluate.
Some people call him a generation of heroes, heroes who help the world, and have made great contributions to the country; Some people also call it a generation of heroes, slaughtered by the world, and there is a big country.
Although there are mixed reviews, no matter how you evaluate them, no matter who they are, even their old enemies can't help but say something;
"King Yue Wu's first contemporary person, Jie Ye!"
King Yue Wu was born in poverty, was originally a wood-chopping boy in the countryside of Liaodong, after the "change of Yanmen Pass", the world was in turmoil, Yue Wu took advantage of the situation, based on 800 Liaodong soldiers, turned to fight in all directions, killed countless people, and made countless feats like the sky, and finally worshiped the Great Pillar Country, the head of the four pillars of the dynasty, and the Cloud Emperor was the only one who was canonized in the era of the Cloud Emperor.
Yue Wu's life is a legendary life!
In Kaiyuan 0559, Yue Wu, who was at the peak of the military generals, was recalled from the border by Emperor Yun with twelve herald gold medals, and then killed in the Wind and Rain Pavilion on the charge of "trumped-up".
Yue Wu was killed!
There are those who weep bitterly and have runny noses;
There are those who are smiling;
After Yue Wu was ambushed, Emperor Yun was still unwilling, or did not dare to snub Yue Wu's descendants, passed the title of King Wu to Yue Wu's only son, Yue Zhen, and built a luxurious Wu Wang Mansion for Yue Zhen in Lin'an County, the most prosperous Jiangdong capital in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Yue Zhen is the first owner of Wuwang Mansion.
The name of Yue Zhen contains King Yuewu's expectations for his son, and it also contains his enthusiasm and infinite loyalty to the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
Zhenshan River!
However, it backfired.
As the saying goes; Lao Tzu's hero is a bear, it seems to be Yue Zhen!
The old martial king expects to be able to control the mountain and river Yue Town!
In Lin'an City and even the entire Jiangdong Province, Yue Zhen's reputation is not inferior to that of his father.
However, one has a mixed reputation, but whether it is an enemy or a friend, they will give a thumbs up and say "the first person".
One is notorious, no matter who it is, they will take a sip of "praise" and a "first squirrel".
Yue Zhen has been stubborn since he was a child, and after the crown, he relied on the name of the martial king to bully men and women, rampant in Jiangdong, and did countless absurd things that angered people and resented people, so he was called the first gentleman in Jiangdong.
In March, spring flowers are blooming!
Shili Wuwang Long Street, bustling, tourists are like a tide, lively and extraordinary.
There are cloth clothes and grass people who work hard for their livelihoods, they shoulder to shoulder, shouting along the way, and walking in a hurry;
There are also personable Confucian students in white, in groups of three or five, waving folding fans and talking loudly;
There are also plump ladies, half-covered with light yarn, twisting and walking, looking forward to life;
There is also a slim neighbor jasper, moving forward heartily, sometimes making bursts of chuckles like silver bells;
Vendors on both sides of the long street gather, and the varieties sold are even more dazzling, including seasonal melons and fruits, fresh seasonal vegetables, and fresh vegetables and vegetables such as lakes, rivers and rivers; There are also cooked delicacies such as braised pork, roast chicken, roast duck, pickles, etc., as well as dried fruit snacks such as sugar people, steamed cakes, dried fruits, and dim sum;
In addition to these self-produced and self-sold agricultural specialties and fresh food, there are many fixed shops on both sides of the long street, and the shrewd owners of many fixed shops saw the crowds on Wuwang Street, and specially added temporary stalls, which have gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache, ready-to-wear cloth, and even salt and sugar seasonings, sickle farm tools and other materials.
Ten miles of long streets, full of prosperity!
At the end of the long street, King Wu's mansion "squeaked", the door opened, and a rampant long laugh came from the mansion;
"It's been three months.,I've been grounded by that for three months.,Lao Tzu finally lifted the ban today.。。 Ha ha.. Ha ha.. ”
In a long laugh, six horses roared out of the Wuwang Mansion.
He rode first, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a beautiful white robe, riding a sturdy white horse, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his appearance was handsome, and his demeanor was graceful.
The man rode his horse and whipped his whip, and laughed unscrupulously to the sky, showing his uninhibited nature.
This person is Wuwang Yue Town!
There was a sudden silence on the ten-mile long street, followed by a thunderous scream;
"King Wu is out of the house."
This news, one by ten, ten by hundred, quickly spread throughout Wuwang Street at an astonishing speed like thunder. As soon as this news came out, the originally wide ten-mile long street suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, especially those who were dressed up beautifully, and the little jasper could no longer take care of the elegant demeanor, and screamed and fled with her skirt.
The vendors on both sides of the long street were even more bitter, muttering to themselves; "Didn't you hear that Miss Sleeve has grounded this embryo for half a year? Why was it released in only three months?。。。 ”
As he spoke, he stepped up to clean up the valuable items on the stall.
"Haha. Ha ha.. I haven't been out for three months.,It seems that the fathers and villagers in the neighborhood haven't forgotten this son.,This son's popularity is still as high as ever.,Haha。。 Ha ha.. You tell me.. Sandals? ”
Unscrupulously riding his horse and galloping, looking at the panicked and embarrassed pedestrians on the street, Yue Zhen only felt that he was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing proudly;
"Young Master... Target.. Of course the popularity is high. Well, like... Resemble.. The Great Wilderness is as high as the mountain. Behind Yue Zhen, a young entourage wearing cloth clothes and straw sandals stammered with a sincere smile when he heard the words;
This person's name is straw shoes, he is Yue Zhen's personal entourage, and he is also the first evil servant under Yue Zhen's command, don't look at this person's honest appearance and simple clothes, but in fact, he is ruthless and cruel by nature, and he doesn't know how many bad things he has done for Yue Zhen in private.
Evil servants, a natural pair!
In the laughter of the master and servant, he bumped into countless stalls, frightened countless pedestrians, and left only a mess on the ten-mile long street, as well as countless whispers and curses.
The six masters and servants rode out of Wuwang Street and went straight to Qingshan Academy.
Qingshan Academy, one of the four major academies of Kaiyuan, is famous in the literary world of Kaiyuan, and is one of the holy places of literature in Jiangdong and even the entire Kaiyuan.
The scale of Castle Peak Academy is actually not large, and the reason why it can have such a high status is related to its concept of teaching without class.
The successive dynasties of the Tianyuan Continent were all in the pattern of scholars and monarchs ruling the world together, and reading and progressing have always been the patent of wealthy scholars, and ordinary people have no chance to read and write, let alone enter the upper class society through reading.
There were thousands of large and small academies in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and they generally only accepted the children of wealthy families, but Qingshan Academy was different, he was a academy specializing in the poor.
Qingshan Academy has a strong faculty, the dean and professors of the academy are well-known Confucians of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Qingshan Academy recruits students regardless of identity background, regardless of economic strength, the only assessment is the talent and understanding of students, as long as you have the talent to read, no matter how bad your background is, Qingshan Academy will not hesitate to admit you.
Castle Peak Academy not only admits poor students, but also exempts them from the constraints of poor students, and even provides grants to help you change your destiny through studying.
According to incomplete statistics, Qingshan Academy has cultivated dozens of great Confucians since its establishment for decades, and thousands of children from poor families have become a dazzling scenery in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
Because of this, Qingshan Academy has a very high reputation in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, especially among the children of the Han family, and was even once called the holy land of Jiangdong literary circle.
Yue Zhen led the evil servant to this holy place of literature, of course, he didn't come to seek knowledge and progress, on the contrary, he came to smash the field!
"Bang dang" The slightly old thin-skinned wooden door of Qingshan Academy was kicked by the tall horse that Yue Zhen was sitting on, and Yue Zhen's six horsemen rushed into Qingshan Academy with a wild shout.
The catchy reading voices of the students of Castle Peak Academy were interrupted in an instant.
"Li Mengran, that old bastard is there, why don't you hurry up and get out to see Young Master Ben." Yue Zhen rode rampant in the academy, shouting and scolding;
Li Mengran, one of the great Confucian teachers of Qingshan Academy, is a noble and arrogant person, not afraid of power, and is well-known in the Confucian circle for his iron teeth and upright nature.
Three months ago, Yue Zhen humiliated the students of Qingshan Academy on the street because of his small reasons, and the angry Li Mengran was furious, regardless of the power of King Wu, led dozens of Confucian students to surround King Wu's Mansion, and counted the ten major crimes of Yue Town.
Although the Wuwang Mansion is powerful, it is murderous on the street, and the target is still the famous Confucian of the time, if it really makes trouble, the Wuwang Mansion will definitely not be able to get rid of it.
Just when the chaos was about to happen, the first-class girl of Wuwangfu, Red Sleeves, came forward.
Although Red Sleeves is only a first-class girl in the Martial Prince's Mansion, she has a killer weapon in her hand, that is, the family law iron whip left by the old Martial King Yue Wu.
The old martial king Yue Wu, governing the family such as governing the army, after his death, he left a family law iron whip that specializes in beating the unfilial son of the Yue family, enshrined in the ancestral shrine, although the red sleeves are a maidservant, but it is the only person in the Wuwang Mansion who can replace the old martial king to ask the monk to punish the descendants of the Yue family.
Yue Zhen, the new martial king, is a very popular minister, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but in the face of the iron whip of family law in the hands of the red sleeves, he is still stunned from the bottom of his heart.
In front of everyone's eyes, the red sleeves had a calm expression, held high the iron whip of family law, and ordered Yue Zhen to think about it behind closed doors in the ancestral hall for half a year, although Yue Zhen was dissatisfied, but after all, he did not dare to resist, so he could only be obediently bound.
In the end, Red Sleeves relied on the iron whip of the family law left by the old martial king, and finally quelled the riot.
Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but no one expected that the conflict would break out again today.
Yue Zhen was punished for thinking behind closed doors for half a year, and only half of the time had passed, and he appeared in Qingshan Academy again, and looking at its menacing appearance, everyone knew that today's things might not be good.
Li Daru is afraid that a big disaster is coming today!
Everyone in the academy was worried, although there was monstrous anger in their hearts, they didn't dare to step forward to stop it, and of course, no one stepped forward to tell Yue Zhen where Li Mengran was.
Yue Zhen showed off his might in the academy for a while, but he didn't find Li Mengran, so he couldn't help but be angry, and sat down on a handsome big white horse, jumped high, and kicked the door of a school hall with a hoof.
The dozens of students who were studying in the school were panicked when they saw this, but they dared not speak out.
In the school, there is an elegant-faced long-bearded Confucian man, but he has a good backbone.
I saw him holding his long beard in his hands, his expression was calm and calm, although he did not speak, but a pair of bright eyes looked directly at Yue Zhen like sharp arrows.
Yue Zhen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that a little-known old teacher in Qingshan Academy would have such a backbone, and he was not afraid of his own obscenity, and he dared to provoke himself with his eyes.
Although Yue Zhen was extremely angry, he remembered that his purpose was to find trouble with Li Mengran, and he didn't want to make too many extraneous troubles.
Yue Zhen glanced at the long-bearded old man fiercely, snorted on the ground, and said viciously; "Old immortal, dare to look at Young Master Ben like this again, look at Lao Tzu, I won't gouge out a pair of dog eyes of yours...
After speaking, Yue Zhen didn't bother to bother with unrelated people, turned around and rode his horse, and rushed to another school.
After Yue Zhen left, the long-bearded Confucian nodded slightly, stroked his long beard, and said lightly to the panicked students; "Don't be sad or happy with things, don't be affected by external forces, come, let's continue to study."
