Chapter 371: The Only Teacher and the Only Apprentice

Datang popular "Water Tune Song Head", no matter where it is, as long as a singer can always sing three or two "Water Tune Song Head" with different people filling in the lyrics.

The lyrics of "Water Tune Song Head" were originally made by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and it was the favorite song of the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so it went up and down, and soon spread among the people.

Although this "Water Tune Song Head" is extremely popular among the people, it is the least favorite song of the current emperor Li Shimin.

The remnants of the previous dynasty are prevalent among the people, and "Water Tune Song Head" is a cancer.

Li Shimin didn't say anything about this matter, but the ministers knew it in their hearts and knew that the emperor didn't like this song, so he never talked about it in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that the folk were too popular, if this song was banned directly, it would inevitably be stingy by the emperor of folklore, and he couldn't tolerate a single tune.

Of the fifteen people present, most of them will enter the court as officials in the future, and some will even hold high positions and hold heavy power.

Can the emperor tolerate the folk praise of "Water Tune Song Head", and can he tolerate the ministers under his hand to fill in the lyrics of "Water Tune Song Head"?

This is a very simple political question, and these children can't even do such a simple political question, which really makes Yu Shinan feel cold.

These children are praised as high-ranking officials, and it is estimated that they will anger the emperor in a few days, and the dismissal and dismissal of officials are small, and if the matter is big, it will affect the entire gate valve power structure.

Yu Shinan has long said that he doesn't care about his talents, and there must be a successor who he really reassures himself in the last batch of students he recruits.

Yu Shinan is a great Confucian, but also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, assisted several emperors, he deeply knows that to be in power does not need to learn, what is needed is to judge the situation and meet the source.

Therefore, the last round is no longer to see who is better at filling in the words, but to see who can see the pit behind this question.

If today's exam can't be avoided, he may be in the Jinluan Palace, and there are ministers of other factions instigating him to fill in the words in front of the emperor, and then it will not be a matter of seat, but the life of his family.

Yu Shinan was disappointed by the results of the exam, but fortunately, there was another person who handed in the answer sheet.

Yu Shinan stroked his long beard and smiled: "Do you know why you were chosen?" ”

""Water Tune Song Head" can be written in Hualou, at home, outside Beijing, and everywhere, but it can't be written in the examination room."

Yu Shinan was even more satisfied, and nodded even more: "Among the fifteen people, you are the only one who can see the mystery, and you are the only one among the fifteen people who can take power in the court and not die." The old man was very pleased. Bai Song, the one you were recommended by the princess? ”

"Yes."

"No wonder Princess Runan is so important, Princess Runan not only has a letter of recommendation, but also talked to the old man about you in person, so that the old man will accept you as a disciple no matter what, and he will definitely be able to bless Li Tang Jiangshan one day."

Bai Song blinked, feeling a little surprised, he didn't expect that Princess Runan had come to the old gentleman alone.

"It's the princess who has an overreputation."

"Where's your first round of poems?"

Bai Song honestly presented the poem.

Yu Shinan couldn't help but read it again: "There is no longitude and latitude in life, why not be afraid of the East China Sea for ginger soup...... Good sentences, good intentions, Bai Song, you are really a good material for an official. ”

Bai Song was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Yu Shinan became serious, and directly asked the core that shocked everyone: "Are you willing to accept the mantle of the old man?" Can it become the umbrella of Huaiyang Group? ”

Bai Song chuckled in his heart, he remembered that it was recorded in the history books that during the Zhenguan period, there were many power in the court, and the forces composed of ministers from all sides restrained and restrained each other.

The Huaiyang clique headed by Yu Shinan was a large faction composed of the former court's scholars, controlling the literary trend in the Jiangnan area, and there were officials in power in all important positions in the three provinces and six ministries.

Now Yu Shinan is the well-deserved head of the Huaiyang Group, although Yu Shinan is no longer in a high position, and has no real power, but the status of the old ministers of the three dynasties is placed, with a natural cohesion, sheltering a large number of criminal ministers of the previous dynasty, is a force that can not be ignored in the court today.

And now, when Yu Shinan returns to his hometown, the person who still needs to take care of him will never allow Yu Shinan to leave like this, this old gentleman must find a inheritor who can unite everyone!

The rumors from the outside world are not wrong, this exam is secondary to accepting disciples, mainly to find a successor.

Bai Song was born in a poor family, in line with the emperor's political policy of suppressing the gate valve, born and clean, whether it is the way to control the water in the imperial examination field, or the crab poem in today's examination room, and the insights shown in the third question, it is enough to meet Yu Shinan's expectations.

And now, in the most critical question, Bai Song is the only candidate who handed in the correct answer!

Yu Shinan knew that he had no other choice.

Bai Song was so shocked that he forgot to answer for a while.

Yu Shinan was not in a hurry, and slowly asked again: "Why did you come to the capital to study?" ”

"Because my family wants me to make a name for myself."

"What is the purpose of gaining fame?"

"There's a half-official position, right? The family hopes that this will also be able to get rid of the hat of the poor family. ”

"The purpose of enrolling in school is to be an official, to prove that you also want to be an official."

Bai Song nodded: "I didn't think about it before, but it's come to this point, I want to give it a try." ”

Yu Shinan smiled: "Give it a try...... Okay, the old man will let you give it a try, don't be stunned, the tea is cold, hurry up and kowtow to the teacher. ”

Bai Song was stunned, and then he saw that a cup of warm tea had already been prepared in the tea room.

Listening to Yu Shinan's words, this is to accept Bai Song as a disciple!

When you enter the room, you can serve tea and serve it, as long as you drink it as an elder, it will be a lifelong master-apprentice relationship!

It's different from what others call Mr.

In the future, Bai Song will call the old gentleman Master.

Bai Song did not hesitate at all, the design of an exam revealed the depth of this teacher everywhere, this teacher is not a sour man, but a person who is really knowledgeable and precipitated.

Today's exam let Bai Song know that he has too many shortcomings, he needs to study, and he needs a teacher to guide him.

Listening to the dull kowtow, Yu Shinan nodded with satisfaction, drank the tea, put it down, and sighed: "Bai Song, you are the only one who has given the old man an apprenticeship ceremony, don't let the old man down." ”

Bai Song didn't answer, just bowed and saluted, what he wanted to say in his heart was that you are also my only teacher, but a etiquette is just an appearance, I hope he can change his sincerity for sincerity one day.

"From now on, when there are people, you can call the old man Mr. as others, and when there is no one, you can call the old man a master."

"Do you have to be sneaky to accept apprentices?"

"The old man is the matter is exposed, you can't live for three days."

"Okay, but the sneaky one is ultimately aggrieved, one day, I will definitely call you a master wisely, so that all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital can see, I have a white Song master!"

Yu Shinan did not accept Bai Song's flattery, and nodded at him: "In the future, you must be down-to-earth, and you can't be flamboyant at any time." ”

"Disciple knows."

"Okay, what should be said has been said, go back to the examination room and announce the results for the teacher."

……

In the middle of the night, there was a lot of yawning in the examination room, some people were already asleep, and there was some faint snoring.

But Mr. and the one who handed in the blank paper haven't come back yet!

I don't know what to say, even if it's to reprimand, my saliva has been dry for so long, right?

A group of students were restless in the study, and some of them couldn't help but go out to have a look, and at this time, Bai Song and Yu Shinan finally returned.

Everyone in the hall cheered up, some wiped their faces, some wiped their saliva, and some woke up their sleeping friends.

Bai Song returned to his position, and the little brother beside him asked anxiously, "Hey, master...... Sir didn't have any trouble for you, did he? ”

Bai Song shook his head and smiled.

The little brother finally smiled relaxedly, revealing two little tiger teeth.

Yu Shinan returned to his position, read everyone's test papers hastily, without any comments, and then said: "Seat division!" ”

Everyone shook again, this was the most important moment, all the drowsiness was gone.

"First place!"

Straight to the first place!

Everyone looked at Bai Song in unison.

I feel that Bai Song has been talking to Mr. Yu alone for so long, there must be a problem.

"First place, eldest grandson."

Wow!

There were exclamations in the crowd, and the eldest grandson was stunned, pointing at himself in disbelief.

"Me? It's me? Hahaha! It's really my eldest grandson! ”

The eldest grandson jumped three feet and almost lifted the table.

"What do I say? Let's just say that the first must be me! Hahaha......"

"Don't make a noise!" The examiner scolded.

The eldest grandson hurriedly reined in, covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, no noise, no noise!" ”

But the energy in my heart is not mentioned.

"Second place, Yu Ji, third place......"

The eldest grandson no longer paused, reading the names one by one, and everyone listened silently and stopped talking.

It's just that everyone is wondering what Bai Song is in the ranks.

This doubt lasted only half a minute.

In the end, I listened to Yu Shinan read it.

"The fourteenth, Yu Qing, the fifteenth, Bai Song."

After the results were announced, Bai Song was ranked last.

It was already too late, and after the gentleman announced the results, he turned and left, apparently to rest.

As soon as the gentleman left, the eldest grandson couldn't hold back and laughed: "Hahaha! I'm number one! I'm number one! I'll just say you hillbillies deserve to be last! One twelve, one thirteen, and one fifteen, hahaha...... Are you still crazy? ”

Bai Song didn't bother to deal with this fool, and he didn't know what this thing's expression would be after he knew that he had become Mr. Boshi's only disciple one day.

Cui Xing twelve, Xie Yuan thirteen.

Both of them looked at Bai Song with a wry smile.

Xie Yuandao: "It's nothing, as long as you can enroll, it's enough, it's just ranking, we don't care." ”

"It's just, I don't care!" Cui Xing agreed.

"But I care!" A bulging voice came, and it turned out to be the fourteen little fan brother Yu Qing.

Seeing her puffed up, she was very dissatisfied, and walked towards the main exam, and she still wanted to theorize.

Yu Ji in front grabbed him and whispered, "Enough!" Don't make a fuss, your position doesn't matter! ”

"Who said I care about my own ranking! I'm fighting for Bai Song! He's number one! He's a real number one, and you don't even know what he wrote! ”
