Fenghou

This year is the first year of martial arts, and the management is stricter, martial arts students are not allowed to rent a house to live outside, Wang Bo and other yamen are willing to share a room with three people, so they came up with the idea of ​​Tai student dormitory.

There are more than a dozen other courtyards in the university student dormitory, which are for students living in the upper dormitory. Three people share a yard, and each person has a separate room. However, there are not so many students in the upper dormitory, and three other courtyards are closed empty. Wang Bo and others People moved in by force.

The other college students in these single-person colleges are very jealous, but they are not qualified.

I can't even live in it myself, so how could I allow others to live there? More than a dozen Tai students ran to argue, but the two sides fought. How could the Tai students be the opponents of the Wu students, and suffered a big loss.

When the news spread, the three thousand Tai students were so passionate that they surrounded Wu students' dormitory, demanding that Wu students apologize and get out of Tai Xue.

Chen Qing and Hu Yantong looked at each other, today is the first day of registration, and the school will officially start the day after tomorrow, so there is such a demon moth.

……

At one o'clock, the matter was still unresolved. The dormitory management officials brought dozens of blankets and asked them to sleep on the floor in Qingyang Building.

Chen Qing couldn't sleep, so he simply asked the officials to take out his bow, borrowed another pot of arrows, and went to the small school to practice arrows.

For more than a month, Chen Qing didn't have any beginners, and he practiced hard every day. Even if he came to An'an by boat, he would go ashore to practice archery every night when the boat docked for a rest.

Chen Qing's riding and archery is no problem, but his weakness is that his foundation is not solid enough, and the foundation is his eyesight. The way to train his eyesight is very simple. He shoots the copper coin eye in the daytime and shoots the incense head fire in the night. Chen Qing chooses the latter. Every night, He would light a stick of incense and shoot the incense head with an open flame a hundred steps away.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the sound of insects could be heard, the dormitory was still arguing, and Chen Qing was practicing archery alone.

A hundred paces away, ordinary people have long been unable to see the fire of incense, but Chen Qing could see it very clearly. He pursed his lips tightly, drew out an arrow, and shot it while running sideways, and the fire of incense disappeared suddenly. .

Behind a big tree not far away, the sneaky Hu Yantong opened his mouth wide, my dear!Uncle Chen's arrow skills are so brilliant!

……

Just before dawn, Hu Yantong ran over like a gust of wind, "Old Chen, things are getting serious."

Chen Qing shook his head, drove away his sleepiness, sat up and asked, "What's going on?"

Hu Yantong looked around, Chen Qing actually slept in the corridor outside the room all night, his eyes widened.

"You can really sleep, this is a cold big bluestone! There is no blanket, how can you fall asleep?"

"Get used to it, let's talk about business."

"Those Tai students demanded an apology. Who are Wang Bo and the others? How could they make an apology? The officials coaxed and coaxed the situation to calm down first, but as soon as the officials left, a group of Tai students came to denounce them. The two sides scuffled again, more than a dozen imperial students were beaten to the point of bleeding, and two of them had their arms broken."

"and then?"

"Now the Tai students were enraged, and they all ran to the university to sit in and demonstrate. The matter became serious."

Chen Qing felt dizzy for a while, are these high school students too idle?For a few broken houses, he went to the palace to demonstrate. With this energy, he might as well go to the front line to support the army.

Although Wang Bo hates it, Taixue is targeting all martial arts students, including Chen Qing himself, and involves his own interests. Of course, Chen Qing is also dissatisfied with Taixue.

"This matter was foreshadowed at the beginning of the year. At the beginning, it was decided to cut a corner from Taixue to start martial arts, but it was jointly opposed by Taixue students. The Ministry of War repeatedly assured that it would not infringe on their interests. Only then did martial arts start, and what happened yesterday As soon as it came out, the Tai students would blow up their nests, and the old and new scores will be settled together."

Chen Qing sneered, "It seems that they are determined to drive us away."

"That's right!"

Hu Yantong sighed, "Once this incident happens, I don't think martial arts will be able to start for a while."

……

Things really got serious, and the demonstrations by Tai students alarmed the official Zhao Gou. At this time, Zhao Gou was listening to Han Shizhong's report on Jiangbei's situation in the Imperial Study Room of Chuigong Palace.

Zhao Gou is also very young, the same age as Chen Qing, of medium build, fair-skinned and frail, with a very delicate appearance.

Zhao Gou didn't want to fight at all. He was taken hostage by Jin Bing back then. The nightmarish experience in the Jin Bing barracks made him fear the Jurchens from the bottom of his heart, but the Jin Bing attacked fiercely and insisted on destroying Song. There is no choice but to grit your teeth and fight against gold.

At this moment, Xiangguo Lu Yihao hurried into the imperial study room. Seeing that there was someone in the imperial study room, he hesitated for a while and prepared to leave.

"What's the matter with Lu Xianggong?" Zhao Gou stopped him.

"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"

"Go ahead!"

Lu Yihao glanced at Han Shizhong, and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial students are sitting in front of Donghua Gate to demonstrate!"

Zhao Gou suddenly felt dizzy. During the years of the Jingkang disaster, the imperial student movement had been running through it. His various demonstrations were tried and tested, and gradually formed a faction of political power. Zhao Gou never hoped that there would be another imperial student under his rule. sports.

"what's going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is still the same as last time, caused by the conflict between Tai students and Wu students."

Lu Yihao reported to Zhao Gou what happened last night in detail, and finally said: "This time, the martial arts students are more arrogant, and they forcibly occupied the dormitory and caused conflicts. I believe that your majesty should punish the martial arts students to quell the demonstration. "

Zhao Gou frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "I run martial arts to select talents, not to cultivate such bastards who bully others. This kind of thing happened the first time I started martial arts. How can I continue to do it in the future? "

Han Shizhong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, can I allow you to say a few words?"

"Han Aiqing, please tell me!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this time I also attach great importance to martial arts. As Your Majesty said, this is to train talents for the Song army. For this reason, I went to martial arts yesterday and found some things that are extremely worrying."

"what's the situation?"

"Your Majesty, the first thing I found out is that only [-]% of the martial arts students are from the army, and the remaining [-]% are recruited through various connections. Basically, they are the children of eunuchs and powerful people, and most of them are former bodyguards. They are obviously just here to make a name for martial arts, and then appoint officials to take up positions, Your Majesty, running a school like this has violated the original intention of the imperial court to run martial arts, and it has also failed His Majesty's expectations."

Zhao Gou's face was a little hot. In fact, he agreed to take proper care of the meritorious children, but he did not expect that so many people would be packed in, and [-]% of the places were filled by these powerful and meritorious children.

"In Aiqing's opinion, is there any way to change this unfavorable situation?"

"There are methods, there are two methods, I have given them popular names, one is called sharp knife method, and the other is called blunt knife method."

Lu Yihao was also interested, and asked with a smile: "Can Shuai Han explain in detail, what is a sharp knife? What is a blunt knife?"

Han Shizhong smiled slightly, "Sharp knife technique is very simple, just cut off [-]% of the officials' children and drive them out of martial arts, this is called sharp knife technique!"

"inappropriate!"

Lu Yihao vetoed it outright, and he said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, since they have already been recruited, driving them out will chill the hearts of many ministers!"

"I understand that this method is really inappropriate, and I don't agree with it!"

Han Shizhong knew that they would not agree, so he laughed again: "Since the sharp sword method is not appropriate, then try the blunt sword method, strengthen training, constantly hone their will, and train these pampered officials' children to become qualified soldiers!"

"This method is good, it is acceptable!"

Zhao Gou readily accepted the blunt knife method, but the water in the distance could not quench his thirst, so how to solve the demonstrations of Tai students was the top priority.

"What are the demands of these Tai students?" Zhao Gou asked.

"Your Majesty, there is only one request of Taixue, and that is to ask Wuxue to move out of Taixue immediately."

Zhao Gou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. This incident happened once at the beginning of the year, and the imperial court also decided to build martial arts outside the city. Mixing civil and martial arts, it is indeed easy to cause troubles.

"When will the martial arts outside Nancheng be completed?"

"Your Majesty, it will take at least two months."

"Then tell the Tai students, let Wu Xue move out in two months."

Lu Yihao sighed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it can't be done. They demanded that Wu students must move out today. They have great resentment and demanded that Wu students get out today."

"Could it be that I am willing to mix civil and military studies?"

Zhao Gou was really annoyed and said: "If there is a venue, martial arts will not be mixed with Taixue. Lin'an is full of waste, where can I find an open house now? Do you want me to temporarily suspend martial arts and let them go back again?" ?”

Han Shizhong said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty agrees with Weichen's blunt sword technique, why not implement it now, first find some difficult things for the martial arts students to do, so that they don't have to stay in Taixue, and at the same time test their abilities. Sharpen their resolve, and when they finish their work, the new martial arts school should be built, and the talents His Majesty needs will emerge from among them."

Zhao Gou and Lu Yihao glanced at each other, looking for something for Wu students to do, this method is feasible.

Chapter 58 Bravery

In the martial arts Qingyang Building, hundreds of martial arts students lined up neatly, listening to the lectures of Wang Hao, the minister of the Ministry of War, silently.

"What happened yesterday is not entirely your responsibility. The key is that our martial arts school does not have its own school building, and we live in the Imperial School mixed together. It is normal to have conflicts..."

Wang Hao was really aggrieved. Today, the officials called him to reprimand him and added another task to him.

The Ministry of War was an embarrassing role in the imperial court. In the early Song Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of War was taken away by the Privy Council, and the power of personnel belonged to the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of War was jokingly called the Ministry, which was a redundant department. It was not until Yuanfeng reorganized that the Ministry of War regained some departmental power , but still very weak, the most important personnel power is still firmly grasped by the Ministry of Officials.

Martial arts is under the responsibility of the Ministry of War, and what happened last night happened in the first session, which made the emperor dissatisfied.

However, Wang Hao also agrees with Han Shizhong's suggestion, find some things to do for this group of demon kings first, and hone their wills, and wait for the new school building to be built in two months before the school officially starts, otherwise they don't know that they will quarrel with the Tai students what it looks like.

"Our new martial arts school building is still under construction, and it will take about two months to build the city. The officials mean that we can start classes two months later..."

The martial arts students were suddenly in an uproar, isn't this the delay in martial arts?Are you going to disband them and go home?

"Quiet!" A military officer yelled, and the hall fell silent.

Wang Hao waved his hand and said, "Of course we won't let everyone go home. The officials decided to find something for everyone to do in the past two months. Lu Xianggong discussed with the Privy Council and various ministries, and proposed [-] tasks, divided into A, B, and C. Third class, there will be rewards for completing the task, and it doesn't matter if you fail to complete the task, but the evaluation will be a little worse."

Wang Hao waved his hand and asked people to post the task on the wall. Everyone discussed in low voices. Hu Yantong gently poked Chen Qing with his elbow, and said with a low laugh: "This Wang Shilang said it very easily! The evaluation meeting is not good, you Knowing that poor evaluation means that the future is bleak, the first step will be lower than others, the official position will be lower, and the place assigned will not be good."

"If you can't complete the task, you should be punished, but I am more concerned about how to distribute the tasks. There are only 100 tasks, how to divide [-] people?"

"That's a problem."

Hu Yantong quickly raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, Wang Shilang, how do one hundred martial arts students divide twenty tasks?"

This is also a concern of everyone, and the lobby became quiet again. Wang Hao said with a smile: "Tasks are not for one person, each task needs a team to complete, everyone understand what I mean!"

Chen Qing suddenly realized that he wanted to form a group by himself, which is a bit interesting, a bit like the group of later generations to fight monsters.

At this time, the entourage posted three large notice papers on the wall, with twenty tasks written on them.

Everyone rushed forward and surrounded the three notice papers tightly, which is a bit like the announcement of the imperial examination.

Wang Hao stood aside triumphantly, stroking his beard and smiling secretly. Han Shizhong's suggestion was really good. If he didn't temper the wildness of this gang of dude yamen, they don't know what troubles they would cause in the future.

The missions are divided into three levels, mission A is to suppress bandits, mission B is to train troops, and mission C is to escort, garrison fields and other chores, most of which are military training.

However, everyone found that the key rewards were not written.

"Excuse me Wang Shilang, why is the reward column blank?"

Wang Hao explained with a smile: "The reward is decided by the Son of Heaven. The time is relatively short, and we haven't considered it yet. But every effort is rewarded. The Son of Heaven will not treat everyone badly, and will not make everyone feel unfair."

Since the tasks are divided into three levels, A, B, and C, everyone understands that the A task is definitely the most difficult, but the reward is also the highest, and almost everyone's eyes are on the A task.

There is only one mission, to lead [-] troops to wipe out Zhang Kui, a mutinous bandit in Muzhou.

Seeing the name Zhang Kui, everyone gasped. This is not a bandit, it is clearly a remnant of the Liu Miao Rebellion!

After the Liu Miao Rebellion was suppressed the year before last, Miao Fu's fierce general Zhang Kui led hundreds of people to flee to the mountains, whereabouts are unknown. Quickly gathered thousands of people, occupied the mountain as king, and constantly harassed nearby counties and counties. In the past few months, it has become a confidant of the imperial court.

Qi Yun in the yamen whispered to Wang Bo: "Shall we take down Mission A and feel proud!"

Wang Bo glared at him, "Are you a fool? The imperial court plans to send Han Shizhong to lead an army of 2000 to suppress it. Now let us lead [-] people to go, obviously to test the truth. How did Liu Zhe and Yao Jun die before? forget?"

Liu Zhe was the Sima of Wenzhou. He led 2000 people to strangle Zhang Kui and hundreds of men who were hiding in Yandang Mountain. As a result, Liu Zhe was killed by Zhang Kui, and the two thousand troops were defeated. Zhang Kui got countless armors from this, and he went to war again. In Muzhou, Yao Jun, the soldier and horse envoy of Muzhou, also died under Zhang Kui's sword. If He Jian, the magistrate, had not defended Chun'an County, it is estimated that the entire Muzhou was occupied by Zhang Kui.

Not only Wang Bo knew about the deaths of Liu Zhe and Yao Jun, but also most of the martial arts students.

In an instant, there was no one under the mission A list, and everyone went to see missions B and C. Everyone entered martial arts to become an official, not to die.

Chen Qing didn't compete with the crowd, he just stood behind and waited for everyone to leave the first list before he stepped forward to take a closer look. He is still a little interested in the task.

Hu Yantong saw Chen Qing standing under the A list for a long time, he was going to remind Chen Qing not to do stupid things, but Chen Qing stepped forward, stretched out his hand and revealed the list A's task.

Hu Yantong's eyes suddenly widened, his scalp almost exploded in shock, my God!I was one step too late.

There was no sound in the lobby, everyone looked at Chen Qing, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, many people hid their mouths and laughed, there are really fools, did he think it was a mob bandit?

Because of the dormitory, Wang Bo couldn't take care of dealing with Chen Qing for the time being. Unexpectedly, he actually revealed the first list, which made Wang Bo smile and close his eyes. If he was directly dealt with, he would be sued by Huyan. It would be better to use Zhang Kui's knife to kill him. A brilliant solution.

Hu Yantong ignored everyone's strange eyes, pulled Chen Qing aside, and said in a low voice: "You don't understand the situation, they are not bandits, they are the remnants of Liu Miao's rebel army, they are very powerful, they will not choose anyone, they will Something big happened!"

Chen Qing smiled, no matter how strong he is, can he be as strong as Wanyan Lou Shi?I am not afraid of tens of thousands of Jurchens, let alone a group of defeated soldiers.

Chen Qing said with a faint smile: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, how can you be promoted if you don't take risks?"

He walked up to Wang Hao, clasped his fists in salute, and handed him the list, "I've accepted this mission A!"

"You are..." Wang Hao didn't know him.

"Chen Qing, the Western Army controls Wang Yan's subordinates."

"So you are Chen Qing!"

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, No. 1 in the exam, no wonder this person dared to reveal the top ranking, but he came from Shaanxi Road, so he didn't know the situation!Can this Zhang Kui be dealt with by good arrow skills?

"Then who are you going to do this task with?"

Chen Qing turned his head and glanced at Hu Yantong, Hu Yantong felt terrified, you brat revealed the list without asking me, and now you're getting me involved.

"All right! All right! Count me in."
