Chapter 101 Teachers and Students [Please vote for me! 】
With Xu Zhan'ao's approval, Liang Yue continued: "The evolution of Liangzhou can actually perfectly illustrate this sentence. In the early years, Liang people were famous for their bloody bravery. As the front line of resistance against Jiu Yang, Ding The strong men joined the army, and the women and children followed the corvee service. In the victory of the Northwest War, the people of Liangzhou contributed the most and shed the most blood.” After the war, they did not get timely recuperation, which led to the Bashan Rebellion. Now the Bashan bandits are difficult to eradicate. In fact, the people of Liangzhou lost their sense of belonging to the country and continued to move eastward after the Northwest War. The expedition to the west was overwhelming, but half of Liangzhou was lost."
"The phrase "the battle is invincible" corresponds to the following phrase, "The victory of the country is not victory; the victory of the king is not victory." "The victory of the people means victory." If you look at the great powers in ancient times, they will never be destroyed because of the alienation of the people. "
" Good!" Xu Zhan'ao finally showed his joy. Looking at the prince on the side, he said: "His Royal Highness, do you understand? What do you think?"
"Huh?" The prince looked at Liang Yue talking eloquently and was full of envy. When he heard that he was suddenly called by name, he suddenly became excited.
Didn’t he make a good point?
What do I think...
I will just sit here and watch it honestly. It would be better if I have some melon seeds.
The little fat man did not dare to neglect, he quickly stood up and nodded: "I think Liang Yue is right!"
"He is indeed right." Xu Zhan'ao said: "On the matter of Bashan, His Majesty has admitted more than once that the decision he made back then may have been wrong. Although the army is prosperous and the people fight hard, if they can recuperate in time, Liangzhou's bloody bravery You will not become a tyrant. Therefore, even a talented person like your Majesty will make mistakes. Your Majesty, it is not terrible to make mistakes. As long as you admit it in time, you can return to the right path. If you make any mistakes, take the initiative. Admit it, I don't have to reprimand you."
"Well..." The prince was not a fool, so he naturally heard that he was criticizing himself, and said with a flat mouth: "Master Xu, I was wrong. I forgot to bring my book and took Liang Yue’s.”
Liang Yue then realized that Master Xu’s cultivation level was probably very high.
I thought that the action just now was unnoticed, but in the end, the other party didn't even need to raise his head, he had already noticed it.
What you are doing down there can be seen by the teacher on the podium.
"Very good." Xu Zhan'ao nodded with satisfaction when he heard the prince admit his mistake, "Since His Highness has admitted it, then go back and copy the "Nine Strategies of Ping Yang Yang" ten times by hand, and the matter will be over."
" Huh?" The prince's relieved smiling face instantly turned into a sad face.
So just because I don’t scold you doesn’t mean I won’t punish you?
The joys and sorrows of life come so suddenly.
……
During the break between classes.
Xu Zhan'ao stood by the garden railing with his hands behind his back, and Liang Yue stood behind him.
His Royal Highness the Prince was busy copying books in his seat.
Sometimes when Liang Yue looks at him, it is really difficult to realize that this is a man who is almost thirty years old. Especially among the unpredictable royal family, it is really miraculous that they can still act like children at such a young age.
But if you think about the current emperor of the Yin Dynasty, and then look at the Grand Master in front of you, you seem to be able to understand it.
His elders are too strong.
A talented father, a domineering and strict teacher, a younger brother who is both civil and military...
The prince's entire growth environment has been protected and suppressed at the same time. He can only listen more to others and do as little as possible himself, so that he can do nothing wrong.
If you do less things, you will naturally get less experience.
From the position of the prince, one cannot say that he is wrong. After all, he is already the prince, and as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, he is the one most likely to have the last laugh.
"Why do you want to be on duty at the Royal Guards if you are knowledgeable and memorized?" Xu Zhan'ao suddenly asked, "If you take part in this year's imperial examination, wouldn't you have a bright future?"
Since he is like this Asked, naturally he was very familiar with Liang Yue's resume, and it seemed that he had done some research in advance.
"The student's family is poor. His grandfather, father, and uncle all died fighting for the country, and my mother is the sole breadwinner of the family. I was on duty earlier so that I could help my mother share the burden and raise my younger siblings." Liang Yue answered truthfully.
"It's a pity." Xu Zhan'ao said: "Once you pass the exam and get a name on the gold list, you can enter the court. Although you have made great achievements and won the position of companion, you will inevitably be promoted in the future. Being despised. Fortunately, you still have Zhuxie Yamen as your backing, but as a Xuanmen Immortal Official, you can't go any further."
Liang Yue knew that what the other party said was true.
In the officialdom of the Yin Dynasty, there were many people who came from the imperial examination, and a trend naturally formed.
Children of powerful men who entered the court based on their family's influence, or military men like Liang Yue who entered the court based on merit, would be at the bottom of the contempt chain.
Among these officials who came from the imperial examination, there are also differences according to different academies or different imperial examination rankings.
A person like Xu Zhan'ao, who was born in a kendo academy and entered the imperial court ranked second in the scientific examination, is simply the top of the contempt chain, a master of all dimensions.
No wonder he always carries a sense of arrogance.
But Liang Yue doesn't care about this.
Now that he is a disciple of Xuanmen, he can advance and attack, retreat and defend. If his development in the court does not go well, he will probably leave.
If you really come from the imperial examination, you will not have that much freedom. It is inevitable that you will be restricted by the same ranking, the same college, the same teacher, etc. as soon as you enter the court, and you will be forced to form factions.
Don't worry about that at all now.
I am an immortal official, why should I care about you guys?
So he replied: "The student is very satisfied to be able to have what he has today, and I am very grateful to the court and His Royal Highness. As for higher ambitions, I dare not ask for them."
Xu Zhan'ao said: "If you take the exam this year, you can You are talented, let alone the top three on the list, at least your name will be among the top three. If you are willing, I can help you arrange for famous teachers in the academy to help you prepare for the exam. Otherwise, I will always feel sorry for the prince. It’s a good thing to say.”
Liang Yue then realized that he had not responded to the other party’s instructions.
The person in front of me is the Minister of Rites, and he presides over the quadrennial imperial examination.
Over the years, few people in the court would take the initiative to approach the prince, and the prince would not be able to win over others. So I only heard that a certain official was a die-hard member of the Sixth Prince, but I rarely heard of anyone who was a die-hard member of the Prince.
The only important figure in the prince's group is the Minister of Rites. Because of his status as Grand Master, he was automatically tied to the Prince's chariot. Once the prince ascends the throne, he will immediately have unlimited honor based on this status. If the prince fails, his status will plummet.
So Xu Zhan'ao definitely hopes that the prince will be well.
He was so enthusiastic about recommending himself to take part in the imperial examination, probably because he wanted to enter the court through this way, which would make it easier for him to participate in some powerful official positions and provide assistance to the prince in the future. Otherwise, his current position as the crown prince's companion would be a vacuous position with no real power, and Zhu Xie Si Xingxing would be an immortal official far away from the center of the court, and his assistance to the crown prince would be limited.
As long as you are willing to take the exam, your future will definitely not be bad based on your ability and the teacher of the Minister of Rites.
But Liang Yue was really reluctant.
He is already very busy with these things, how can he still have time to prepare for the exam?
In contrast, he still felt that it was more important to practice hard.
Compared with the imperial examination, he was more interested in strengthening himself and participating in the battle to capture the city.
So he declined politely: "The teacher values so much, which really scares the students. But after all, the students come from Xuanmen, and they have already spent most of their energy on daily practice, and they have to work with the Zhuxie Division. There is really nothing extra. ”
"Sigh." Xu Zhan'ao patted him on the shoulder, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force you. No matter you are in the world, just remember to have me as your teacher."
Liang Yue was quite moved when he heard this. He immediately replied: "Thank you Master Xu!"
I no longer call you Grand Master, but the same title as Prince.
With his current status, it is naturally impossible for Xu Zhan'ao to want anything from him. On the contrary, when the Minister of Rites said this, he was telling Liang Yue that he could present himself as a student of Xu Zhan'ao when he went out in the future.
It is no longer the close relationship between a companion and a grand master, but a true master-disciple relationship.
This is a big recognition!
This is indeed the case.
Although Xu Zhan'ao looks mature and steady now, if anyone is familiar with him, they will definitely remember that he was famous for his arrogance when he was young.
He came from a noble family and was the most outstanding disciple of his generation in the Kendo Academy. The only time he failed was when he lost in the imperial examination to another unshowy and unrevealed disciple in the Kendo Academy—— The current Minister of Household Affairs is Meng Shouyu.
After entering the dynasty, Xu Zhan'ao was also the fastest-promoting star. In more than 20 years, he became the Minister of Rites. He was also talented in the literary world, and his calligraphy and painting achievements were unrivaled in the contemporary era.
Xu Zhan'ao, who was astonishingly talented in every aspect, had never seen ordinary people in his eyes. There are very few people in the world who can be recognized by him.
But when he saw Liang Yue today, Xu Zhan'ao felt familiar with his humble appearance and proud temperament, as well as his talent that could support his self-confidence.
Xu Zhan'ao looked at Liang Yue who was talking eloquently, and his eyes were full of shadows of his own youth.
Only then did he have a love for talents, and he intended to let him take part in the imperial examination. He recognized his status as a disciple after just one meeting.
At the moment when the master and apprentice were setting the tone, the prince who was copying books on the other side raised his head. When he saw this scene, he was suddenly stunned.
ah?
So it turns out that Teacher Xu can smile so gratified, so happy, and like a student so much?
It turns out that he can also pat the junior on the shoulder.
It turns out that the scenes between teachers and students can be so warm.
Haha.
How nice.
Why do I feel like crying?
Although this is the East Palace, although I have studied with Master Xu for many years, but... maybe I am redundant.
Suddenly I want to leave this sad place.
Goodbye Master Xu.
I'm going on a long voyage tonight.
......
After leaving the imperial city, Liang Yue led the horse forward. He could not ride the horse until he was some distance away from the root of the imperial city.
I am in a good mood today, and I have been appreciated by the Minister of Rites, which means that I will have another connection in the court in the future. Although this kind of appreciation is not that valuable, he is after all one of the big shots in the dynasty, and no matter how many people want to become familiar with him, they have no way.
If there is a seating arrangement in today's court, Xu Zhan'ao would not only be able to get into the first row, but at least the second row would be secure. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, his position as grand master will immediately begin to shine with golden light, and he will surely sit in the front row.
This prince's reading accompaniment is indeed a worthy one.
It seems that his real power is not as good as that of a ninth-grade official, but he comes into contact with top people.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves from behind. Turning around, he saw a four-horse chariot coming out from the direction of the Imperial City.
As the carriage appeared, there was a group of Royal Guards Qingqi from the rear escorting them at any time.
Liang Yue has seen this car before.
Its owner was Liang Fuguo, the then left prime minister.
The Imperial City is such a popular place. Just now I was thinking that Master Xu would sit in the second row in the court hall, but here comes a super boss who sits firmly in the first row.
Liang Yue watched the car heading in his direction, and he led the horse to give way to the side.
At the same time, I was still complaining in my heart, maybe the left prime minister was the craziest in the court. In such a spacious square, I had to go to my side.
But after he gave way, he continued to walk a few steps forward when he saw the car coming sideways from the front and suddenly blocking in front of him.
A masked guard carrying a golden scythe stood beside the car and spoke two brief words to Liang Yue.
“Get in the car.”
Good morning.
