Number of People

  Chapter 147 B-book is ready to go (the first update asks for a monthly pass!)

  Guan Yingzhen finally understood.

  Qi Yongtai didn't care about the confrontation between the emperor and Prince Yizhong at all. In his opinion, it was just a private matter of the Tian family, a battle of emotions, and it didn't affect the overall situation.

   Qi Yongtai is now more concerned about some trends in the future scholarly society or the imperial court's scientific examination system. This is what Qi Yongtai wants to defend, and it is also what his official Yingzhen wants to defend.

  This is related to the future of the students of Qingtan Academy, and in a sense, it is also related to the status and plans of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen in the court in the future.

  But Guan Yingzhen still felt that Qi Yongtai had underestimated the influence of this scholarly event.

Not only Qingtan Academy, Chongzheng Academy also has nearly a hundred students, there are so many officials from the six departments, and most of the students in Chongzheng Academy are the children of officials and eunuchs, such a situation and the information they conveyed will definitely be brought back and passed on to them The influence of elders, relatives and friends cannot be underestimated.

  The same will be true of these seemingly insufficient officials in the six parts. After they go back, they will also process the information and provide it to their colleagues and even their superiors, which will also cause a round of fermentation.

  Otherwise, Wang Yongguang wouldn't lose his composure like this, and almost turned his face against Tang Binyin.

  But there are some things that I can’t explain clearly. Maybe Tang Binyin and Wang Yongguang will play together in front of me for everyone to see?

  What he saw today has subverted some of Guan Yingzhen's previous perceptions. Why Tang Binyin is like this really puzzled him.

  But everyone must have a reason for making a certain choice, so Guan Yingzhen found that he had to use a more malicious attitude to figure out and guess the people around him, and some of them were even supposed to be friends.

"Come in."

  Feng Ziying pushed the door open and entered.

   "Ziying, are you ready?" Qi Yongtai's eyes were sharp, shining with confidence, "He taught us Qingtan Academy a lesson in the morning, and we might lose face again in the afternoon."

"Hehe, the head of the mountain, the head of the courtyard, doesn't have much to do with us?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "It should be that the head of the king is in a hurry. What? Everyone watching from the audience, no matter how you look at it, you think he and Mr. Huo Lin are singing together."

  Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen couldn't help laughing, this little guy is really hurtful.

"Ziying, you can't say anything like this when you come out of this door." Guan Yingzhen smiled and cleared his expression, and said seriously: "Brother Youfu is also a simple gentleman, it must be more than that, it's just that Tang Jiabin's hand is too bad You're so kind, it's hard for Brother Youfu to say anything."

"It has nothing to do with the overall situation. There is Mr. Fangge behind Chongzheng Academy, so he will naturally break it down." Qi Yongtai said flatly: "It's us, we have to do our own thing well, let Miao and Zhu Wenyu take a look at it at that time, our youth Isn’t the Sandalwood Academy in vain!”

"Don't worry, Master Shan Zhang. Brother Jun Yu and I have already made arrangements with other students for many times, and all kinds of accidents have been considered. Even if there is any difference, it is not a big problem." Feng Ziying calmly said, " There will never be such a thing in the morning.”

"Well, Xu Xie has already gone to prepare, and you Dongyuan don't let everyone down." Guan Yingzhen also added, "Xu Xie is a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has experienced a lot. I'm not worried, but your Dongyuan A few young people, are you sure?"

"There is no need to worry about the head of the school. We have also carried out a few targeted joint training sessions. As a referee, I also specifically pick out mistakes for them. I even specially highlighted the strange soldiers and gave them a few killing moves to train their on-the-spot flexibility. , The same is true for the brothers in the West Garden, I believe this debate will be brilliant, and it will be an eye-opener for Mr. Xixi, Mr. Pinghan and the students of Chongzheng Academy."

Feng Ziying's self-confidence is also very reassuring in the eyes of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. Guan Yingzhen nodded repeatedly: "This matter is the top priority of our Qingtan Academy, and it is related to the future of our academy. Once this matter is over, I will Don't be afraid that the students in the academy will say that I am biased, and I will give you a five-day holiday, so that you can go home and rest."

  Feng Ziying was overjoyed.

  Everything is good in this academy, but I am used to living a happy life at home, and I really feel that it is too poor.

  Especially the food here, everyone is the same, which makes him feel that it is a torment for him who has no meat and no joy.

   "You have to keep your word, the director. I have been looking forward to this reward from you for a long time." Feng Ziying smiled brightly, without hiding it at all.

  In this situation, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen also smiled at each other.

   After all, he was still a child. When he heard that he could go home to rest, he was overjoyed. I wonder why this guy is so deep and sophisticated in other aspects?

   Can't understand.

  *******

  Qingtan Academy provided Zhu Guozhen, Miao Changqi and several of their students with several rooms on the south side.

   This was originally a sundry room used to store some labor tools, but after this grand exchange meeting was held, it was vacated, cleaned again, and a small number of utensils were arranged, and it became a temporary room for receiving guests.

  Although Zhu Guozhen was a little shocked by what happened in the morning, he was far less anxious than Miao Changqi.

  For old people like them who have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and then returned to the academy to take charge of one party, although such things are a bit unexpected, they are not without trace.

  No matter what kind of thoughts Prince Yizhong has, it is understandable to build momentum for himself, the son who was once given high hopes by the Supreme Emperor.

  The prince himself is indeed talented in literature, and with the addition of the prince's son, it is normal to win the favor of people in the scholarly forest.

   It's just that it seems a little too much for this kind of grand event, especially when the emperor's eldest son, King Shou, is also present, the comparison between the two is a bit too much.

   But it's none of his business, Zhu Guozhen is more concerned about a debate competition to be held in Qingtan Academy in the afternoon.

  He could see that Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen attached great importance to this matter, but when asked about the specific situation, Qi and Guan both pretended to be mysterious, so he didn't bother to ask.

  Miao Changqi didn't think so, with a look of disdain, thinking that it was nothing more than a debate on classics and views, and at worst, some things from current policy theory should be added to it, just to make mysteries.

   Zhu Guozhen felt that it was not that simple, otherwise Wang Yongguang would not be so mysterious.

  Going north this time, Zhu Guozhen is very clear about the heavy responsibility he shoulders.

   Lectures on the classics, this is on the one hand, highlighting the standard of Jiangnan Shilin's writing style, which is what it should be. Northern Shilin has always been dissatisfied with Jiangnan Shilin, so Jiangnan Shilin must come up with something convincing.

Judging from the results in the morning, it was originally good, but it was robbed of the limelight by Tang Binyin, a shit-stirring stick, which made both Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi a bit of a jazz. , but suddenly ate a fly-like greasy taste.

But they can't turn their backs on each other. Tang Binyin is also a representative of Southern Shilin, and a bachelor of Nanjing Imperial Academy, but this guy is also a bit out of tune with the mainstream of Jiangnan Shilin, and he values ​​official career fame and fortune. What is the intention?

   Didn't he know that doing so would seriously offend the current emperor and almost cut off the possibility of him returning to the capital in the future?

  Of course Zhu Guozhen wouldn’t believe that Tang Binyin couldn’t see this. This fellow would never do such a stupid thing. He must have a plan, but he still can’t see it.

   "Brother Wenyu!" Miao Changqi's voice came from outside the door.

   "At that time, what happened?" Zhu Guozhen moved to the door.

   "The students are saying that Qingtan Academy placed tables and chairs on the stage. It seems to be divided into three sides, and only one side is reserved for the audience below. What are they doing?"

  Miao Changqi said he dismissed Qingtan Academy's actions, but in fact he still attached great importance to it.

  He specially sent his disciples to inquire about the news, but they didn't get much valuable content. He only saw the rearrangement on the podium in the morning, and the appearance was quite different from what he had guessed.

   "Probably they are going to put the debate on the stage, isn't that okay?" Zhu Guozhen felt that Miao Changqi was a little suspicious, so what?

  This is their home stadium, it is normal to decorate it and establish a good image.

   "Students said that the tables and chairs on three sides are enough to accommodate several people, um, why, they plan to go up one by one, or a group debate, so how to debate?" Miao Changqi was also puzzled.

   Isn't this normal debate one-on-one? Looking at it like this, Qingtan Academy is going to play new tricks.

  Zhu Guozhen also didn't understand, but thinking of the faces of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, he didn't want to ask more questions.

"At that time, we faced each other indifferently and responded to all changes with the same, to see how many tricks they could play. Could it be that we were afraid of their performance in terms of Jingyi and theory? It wasn't Chengfeng and Dongxian who went into battle, How profound is an ordinary youngster? Don’t you have to wait for our comment at the end? Let’s just listen to it and hit it by the way. If you feel puzzled, then don’t give Chengfeng and Dongxian any face. That's it."

Miao Changqi let out a heavy breath, and said bitterly: "Hmph, I want to see what kind of tricks these boys can do, to give them face? Then who gave me face? Guan Dongxian is putting all his heart on this now. After entering Qingtan Academy, I have long forgotten that he is also a scholar from our south."

Zhu Guozhen's eyes became indifferent, "At that time, there was no need to say such things. I am afraid that when we have to deal with Chengfeng and Dongxian in the future, I am afraid that Chengfeng will not stay in this academy for long. I just don't know where he is going. The Ministry of Officials is still in the Procuratorate, maybe after a few more years, Dongxian will follow in the footsteps of the wind, I have to say that the emperor's feet are indeed more attractive than our Nanjing."

   No delay, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
