I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Bei Chuan." At this moment, a questioning voice suddenly sounded, "Why did you suddenly want to ask Mr. Lao Zhong whether the rumor is true?"

The person who asked this question was another Ruonian Jisongping Junshan.

Kitagawa Toshiki, Yoshimoto Choemon, Matsudaira Takaki, and Matsudaira Kuniyama are the four current Wakanen of the shogunate.

As soon as the voice of Junshan's question fell, Beichuan immediately replied:

"No particular reason."

"I just heard this rumor from other friends, so I came to verify it with Mr. Lao Zhong."

"After all, such rumors should not be taken as a joke."

Speaking of this, Bei Chuan showed a touch of contempt.

"How can the imperial examination system, which has long since disappeared, be revived in our country?"

"Our country has a large number of excellent samurai. These excellent samurai in our country are enough to fill all the vacancies in the shogunate and the various vassals."

"It's not absurd to let a group of peasant children who were still carrying hoes not long ago serve as officials in the shogunate and vassal government."

"I also don't think it's advisable to revive the imperial examination system," Jun Shan said, "but I think the examination form of the imperial examination is worth continuing."

"Thanks to the old middle-aged and lord's trial cooperation before the imperial court, which provided me with inspiration. Now I have a proposition that is definitely beneficial to the country and the people. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it."

Beichuan, Yoshimoto, and Longxi who were walking in front of Junshan all turned their heads to look at Junshan who was walking in the back.

"I'm all ears." Bei Chuan said.

"In the future, I plan to advise the general to have the Changpingban Institute of Culture recruit the children of the shogunate on a large scale, and teach the children of the shogunate the Four Books, the Five Classics, the Three Rites, history, and poetry."

"Cultivate the children of the shogunate ministers who enter the Shoheizaka Institute into talents who can assist the shogunate."

Jun Shan narrated happily.

Changpingzaka Institute of Education, also known as "Changping School", is an institution of higher learning directly under the Edo shogunate.

The highest institution of Confucianism education in the Edo period.

It was formerly known as the Hongwen Academy established by Lin Luoshan.In 69 AD, the Tokugawa shogunate authorized the Lin family to guide the worship of Confucius, and brought Kobunin under the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate, and at the same time changed the name "Kobunin" to "Shoheizaka Institute of Learning".

"While recruiting the children of the shogunate on a large scale to study at the Changpingban Institute of Culture, regular assessments will be carried out to see how well the shogunate's children who have entered the school have learned."

"Give generous rewards to the disciples who have achieved good rankings in this assessment."

As soon as Jun Shan finished speaking, Bei Chuan nodded.

"I see. Is this the inspiration you just mentioned about the trial match before the imperial court?"

"It's a good idea to let the shogunate disciples enter the Shoheizaka Learning Institute and conduct regular assessments." Yoshimoto also echoed.

"I've already thought of a name for this regular assessment for the vassals' children." Jun Shan smiled with a bit of complacency, "It's called learning."

"Learn to learn."

"Ask a question."

"The chants of the chants."

"The smell of miso."

After chanting the words "Study Yin Taste", Jun Shan cast his expectant eyes on the three Beichuan people who were walking in front.

"It's a good idea to learn and recite." Beichuan took the lead in giving a positive evaluation.

The other 2 people also chimed in, praising the name Jun Shan came up with.

"Then I would also like to make a small suggestion." Bei Chuan crossed his hands in front of his chest, "Don't let the smell of learning and learning be confined to a corner of the Changping Saka Learning Institute."

"Study Ginwei is held regularly in Edo, so that all the vassals can come to participate."

"Regardless of whether you have enrolled in the Shoheizaka Learning Institute, you can participate in this learning."

Hearing Bei Chuan's suggestion, Jun Shan's eyes lit up, and he muttered:

"It's a good idea, and there's no need to limit the learning of Ginwei to a corner of the Shoheizaka Learning Center."

After getting a good suggestion from Bei Chuan, Jun Shan quickly thanked Bei Chuan.

"Jun Shan, I think your idea is really good." Gibbon said with a smile, "Master General will definitely agree with your idea."

Because 4 of the 2 Wakonianyos have the surname Matsudaira, in order to distinguish them in terms of address, with the permission of the 2 parties involved, Kitagawa and the others directly called Matsudaira Takaki and Matsudaira Junshan by their first names.

"When I just got a good suggestion from Beichuan-kun, I am also very motivated now." Jun Shan said in a half-joking tone, "If I didn't care about etiquette, I would like to rush home now and start writing the Jianbai book immediately. ah."

"I just don't know if the old middle-aged man will agree with your idea." After finishing speaking, Bei Chuan showed a wry smile.

The four Wakanian, headed by Beichuan, had all gone away, and Matsudaira Sadanobu still stayed in the room where he discussed with Beichuan and others just now.

In the room where he was the only one left, Dingxin no longer sat on his knees respectfully as he had discussed with Beichuan and others just now.

Instead, he sat cross-legged very casually.

His waist was not as straight as it was when he was discussing with Bei Chuan and others just now.

I must believe that his formerly straight body is now bent, as if there is no bone in his back.

The flesh of his upper body seemed to slip off his cervical spine at any moment.

This appearance of his made his whole body posture present a look of exhaustion.

And the look that appeared on Dingxin's face at this time matched his current state of exhaustion, with his head bowed, his eyes closed tightly, and a strong tired look appeared on his face.

Dingxin at this moment is completely different from the way he discussed the government affairs with Beichuan and others just now.

"I'm so tired."

Even though he was the only one in the room, Matsudaira Sadanobu whispered in such a low voice that only he could hear clearly.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Footsteps sounded from far to near outside the room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Dingxin quickly opened his eyes, and then slowly stood up.

While standing up, his originally bent body straightened up again, and his head was raised high.

The look and expression on his face also returned to the expressionless look full of oppression.

As soon as Matsudaira Sadanobu stood up, the voice of his surname Tachibana sounded from outside the room.

"My lord. It's me."

"You are here."

After responding to Tachibana in a flat tone, Sakanobu walked slowly out of the room.

After Beichuan and the others left just now, Dingshin sent a waiter to call Tachibana back.

Opening the door, he saw Tachibana's face that was so familiar that he was kneeling beside the door.

"Let's go."

Dingxin, who still cherished his words like gold, muttered "Let's go" lightly, and then walked towards the end of the corridor under his feet without any hesitation.

And Tachibana naturally stood up in a hurry, and then followed behind Dingxin.

Tachibana, who was walking behind, quietly looked at the face of Sedanobu in front, and then said in a joking tone:

"My lord, you are still as energetic as ever. After such a long meeting, you are still in high spirits. I am ashamed of myself."

The relationship between Dingxin and Tachibana is good, and Tachibana often utters such insignificant witticisms in private from time to time.

And Dingxin also has a tolerant attitude towards such witty words that Tachibana utters from time to time.

After hearing Tachibana's words, Sakanobu did not make any response.

After showing only a meaningful and shallow smile, he continued to walk forward.

At this moment, in Shiranui who does not know where in Edo

"Shuntaro, obey the ninja's precepts."

"Shuntaro! What are you doing! Have you forgotten the ninja discipline?!"

In his sleep, Shuntaro heard words that he had heard a long time ago.

The words that should have been buried deep in his mind echoed in his ears again, making Shuntaro feel a little nostalgic.

Shuntaro wanted to continue to listen to this long-lost voice, but suddenly felt a voice coming from afar.

"Awake."

The sound gradually approached.

"Wake up."

Familiar voice.

"Master Shuntaro, please wake up."

The dark world shines into white light.

"Ok?"

Shuntaro slowly opened his eyes as he regained consciousness.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the familiar ceiling.

The voice that awakened Shuntaro sounded from behind the door of the room.

Its owner is Kuminataro who is responsible for serving Shuntaro in various chores.

Narutoro was originally a ninja, but because of some crimes, he was demoted to "dirty", assigned to Shuntaro, and became Shuntaro's servant.

After being woken up by Narutaro, Shuntaro first yawned big, then sat up slowly.

"Narutaro, since you woke me up suddenly, something urgent must have happened, right?"

"Lord Shuntaro, yes. Lord Balrog ordered the Four Heavenly Kings to come to his room immediately."

As soon as Narutaro finished speaking, Shuntaro showed a displeased expression.

"It's really troublesome. You shouldn't be talking about a lot of boring things again."

Although he was complaining, Shuntaro stood up in an orderly manner, and then changed into the women's kimono he had just bought a few days ago.

A few days ago, out of curiosity, I bought a set of women's kimonos that fit my eyes very well.

After buying this dress home and trying it on, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was quite comfortable to wear, so Shuntaro has been wearing this suit no matter what he does these two days.

After quickly changing his clothes, Shuntaro quickly walked to the door and opened it, then walked out of his room quickly, and walked quickly towards the small house where the Balrog lived.

As soon as he entered the small house where the Balrog lived, Shuntaro saw Ji Taro who was already waiting here.

After seeing Shuntaro, Ji Taro curled his lips first, and then said in an indifferent tone that was neither salty nor light:

"You are here."

"Ah."

And Shuntaro's attitude towards Kyutaro was equally indifferent, and after only replying "um", he ignored Ji Taro.

The relationship between Shun Taro and Ji Taro is very bad.

Because the two of them had fought each other before because of a certain incident.

Since then, the relationship between the two has been quite bad.

Neither Shuntaro nor Kyutaro has the will to mend their relationship.

Neither the Balrog nor the other member of the "Four Heavenly Kings" has yet to come.

In the past, the two with a bad relationship would definitely not even talk, let the awkward atmosphere linger in the air, and just silently waited for the arrival of other personnel.

But now because of some things, and it is rare to be alone with Ji Taro, Shun Taro decided to go against the usual and say a few more words to Ji Taro.

"Gekitaro." Shuntaro said in an indifferent tone with almost no emotion mixed in, "you can go wherever you like, and I won't bother you, but if you go to Yoshiwara to play , remember to behave politely."

"I've heard people say that your bad character and temper have made many girls cry."

"Where did you hear that?" Ji Taro frowned.

"Where did I hear that, don't worry about it." Shuntaro continued, "In short, when you go to Yoshihara's place to play in the future, please be more polite to me."

"Don't give me any more bad rumors."

"If something bad happens to you in Yoshiwara, it will also affect Shiranui."
