Chapter 45 Chapter 10 Talents in the World

Although Wen Yanbo's resignation was expected, and the relationship between Wen Yanbo and Shi Yue was not good, his resignation undoubtedly gave all the opponents of the new party a sense of sadness.Even Pan Zhaolin couldn't help but lament the lack of an important force in the court to check and balance Wang Anshi.But there are also happy people, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion Chen Yi is one of them, without Wen Yanbo, no one in the court will pursue the military weapons supervision case, and Wang Shao's great victory has diverted all the attention of the newspapers, really A rare day of peace of mind.So even the small captive Tian Liewu became more relaxed because Mr. Chen no longer cared about the arms supervision case.

Tian Liewu, who always fantasizes about going to the Northwest to make contributions, has to listen to the doctor's newspaper reading in a restaurant called Huixianlou every day these days to find out if there is any new news on the front line.Of course, the explanation to the old man in the family is "I also want to know about my uncle's situation by the way". Among the three newspapers, "Xijing Review" was very literary, and Tian Liewu couldn't understand it, even when the doctor explained it, and "Xin Yi Bao" was obviously farting. Is the new law so good?Tian Liewu was deeply suspicious, of course he didn't dare to speak out, he just didn't believe it in his heart.But he still loves to listen to "Xin Yi Bao", because he has the same opinion as many people, "Xin Yi Bao" is run by the imperial court, and the champion is the editor!Of course, his favorite is "Bianjing News". "Bianjing News" has all kinds of trivial matters, and there are "advertisements". Sometimes Dr. Bao reads the advertisements together. There was an advertisement on the website, and even the guys were very proud, holding the newspaper and boasting to the guests all day long: "We published this in the newspaper..." But as for the "People-oriented, Tian Liewu didn't quite understand the words "the people are the most important and the king is the least important": "How can I be more 'expensive' than Zhao Guan's family as a small headhunter? Isn't this nonsense?" After listening for a long time, Tian Liewu thought " Understand": This is because Mr. Sang is a scholar and a good person. He is speaking for the common people.

This day, I made an appointment with Lu Dashun and stepped into the Huixian Tower as usual, Tian Liewu suddenly felt something was wrong—there were many more guests in the Huixian Tower than usual, and they were all scholars in their attire.Tian Liewu wondered secretly, and asked Lu Dashun as he went upstairs: "Dashun, why are there so many more people?" Lu Dashun smiled and said: "Look at you, the provincial exam is about to begin. Gong students from all over the country come to take the exam, and how many people do they have to bring with them? In addition, the new grade of Baishuitan College starts, our side is better , you go to Baishuitan to have a look, it is crowded with people."

Tian Liewu patted his head and suddenly realized.He squeezed upstairs in three steps and two steps, found a seat and sat down, ordered a plate of beans, a plate of fried roe roe meat, and a pot of old wine, and drank with Lu Dashun while listening to the doctor's reading.The newspaper that the doctor read was "Bianjing News". He first read a report about the Ministry of Rites Examination - "Bianjing News" is the most flexible newspaper among the three major newspapers, and Sang Chongguo specially organized it. Staff went to interview officials of the Ministry of Rites and successful people who had participated in the imperial examination before, introduced their experience, reminded candidates of precautions, and made a special "Provincial Examination Topic".In contrast, "Xinyibao" is much more rigid, and it can't even take advantage of the advantages of the three top writers, which makes Sang Chongguo and others very puzzled.The precautions and experience of those exams are very popular among the Gongsheng students who took the provincial exam, and the sales of "Bianjing News" have been rising all the way.But for Tian Liewu, it was a bit dull.

After finally reading all these things, Dr. Bao cleared his throat, picked out a piece of news, shook his head and read: "The latest news from this newspaper, the first skill competition of Baishuitan College is scheduled to open on September 10th at the new stadium , for a period of fifteen days... The competitions are divided into equestrianism, fencing, fighting, archery, cuju, shuttlecock... There are 36 individual teams in total, and the first place can get a gold medal and a reward of 30 pennies... And so on." This piece of news immediately aroused the curiosity of many people. Lu Dashun took a sip of his wine and asked loudly, "Dr. Bao, what is the competition like? Did the newspaper mention it?"

Dr. Bao made a bow to this side, and said with a smile: "I don't know about this official. But the newspaper said that you are welcome to visit..." Lu Dashun said disapprovingly: "Students are just kicking shuttlecocks and playing cuju, how can they compete in swordsmanship and fighting?" His words immediately resonated with many people, and even many scholars were whispering and discussing Is this "skills contest" held by Baishuitan an insult to gentleness? But I heard a young man standing up on the west side of the restaurant, and said loudly: "Have you never read? The sage Confucius also knew swordsmanship. A man should be a general when he goes out, and a minister when he comes in. He must be a generalist in civil and military affairs. People who have studied in the country have been studying for a long time. I do not practice swordsmanship, but I admire Sang Shan's insight, and I will definitely go and see it." Naturally, few people knew that this was Shi Yue's idea.

Tian Liewu looked up at this person, and saw that he was twenty-two or three years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a slightly pale complexion, and a thin figure. He was wearing a white cotton robe. Although it looked very old, it was cleanly washed. He was wearing a black cloth belt tied in a beautiful knot, and a green bamboo flute was stuck in the belt. Although it was obvious at first glance that he was not from a rich family, he was in high spirits, looking bright and elegant. Seeing Tian Liewu looking at him, the young man nodded and smiled this way, and Tian Liewu couldn't help nodding and smiling in greeting.He also heard him say: "Baishuitan College is the school of the world. If you don't succeed in this subject, you still have to study in Baishuitan College. There are not a few of you who think this way?"

A lot of people are saying yes right now.Except for some old scholars who hoped to fail three subjects in a row, and who were gifted by the court with the same background, I am afraid that nine out of ten would like to study near Baishuitan. Tian Liewu saw this scholar's extraordinary attitude, and suddenly wanted to make friends with him, but after all, he was just a small headhunter, a rough person, and making friends with scholars was a bit high-ranking.At the moment he was hesitant, but he saw a book boy in a white silk robe walking up to the young man, saluted, and asked, "Young master, my master has invited me, may I honor him?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and asked, "I don't know who the virtuous master is..." He saw this school boy who could wear silk robes. The master was either rich or noble, and he was a poor scholar. Naturally, it will not be an old acquaintance. The book boy smiled slightly, pointed to an elegant seat, and said with a smile: "My master is inside, you will know when you see it." At that time, when scholars entered Beijing for the exam, they all wanted to make friends with celebrities in order to improve their reputation. Most of them wanted a guide but couldn't get it.He clasped his fists and said, "It's so helpful to lead the way."

Tian Liewu practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is better than that of ordinary people. Although this conversation was a little far away, he could hear it clearly.He watched the book boy lead the scholar into an elegant seat on the east side, and he couldn't help being curious: who is the owner of that book boy?so mysterious.Just thinking about how to eavesdrop, Lu Dashun suddenly poked him: "Tiantou, look..." Tian Liewu hurriedly looked around, and it turned out that it was the young man who interrupted in the small wine shop that day who came up. Today he is wearing a white silk robe, which is even more elegant. Following him are four other men in black robes. People, two younger, about twenty-four or five years old, and two younger, about thirty-four or five years old.The group of five people walked to the east, found a table and sat down.When the young man passed by Tian Liewu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
