I

At the beginning of May, the results of the Taoist examination were released.

A total of 21 scholars were admitted in Qianshan County, and Hanzhu Academy accounted for 4 of them. None of them were admitted to the private schools at the foot of the mountain. They all came from the academy halfway up the mountain.

Of these four newly minted scholars, only one was named Fei, and the rest were all descendants of other surnames.

The school immediately resumed classes. During lunch, a group of schoolchildren came in surrounded by Fei Ruyu.

"Which family does Fei Ruyu belong to?" Zhao Han asked curiously, "I've never heard of him before, but he suddenly got the top spot in the county examination."

Fei Yuanjian sneered, "My second nephew's family must have bribed the county magistrate."

If you get first place in the county examination, you will definitely be admitted in the prefecture examination, otherwise it means that the prefect does not give the magistrate face.

Therefore, bribing the county magistrate to be the leader of the case will definitely lead to promotion to Tongsheng!

Fei Ruhe also laughed and said: "What's the air? It's just that I got a boy student, and I'm like a scholar."

"Why is it so easy for scholars to pass the exam?" Fei Yuanjian began to gossip, "I heard from people that this year's Jiangxi superintendent is a very famous scholar. His name is Cai... what is Cai?"

Xu Ying suddenly interrupted: "Cai Maode."

"Yes, it's Cai Maode!" Fei Ruhe also joined the discussion, "My father said a few days ago that this Cai Tixue is a truly upright official. All those who tried to cheat in the Taoist test this year were found out. Those who wanted to spend money to buy Scholars were also driven away by Cai Tixue. In the spring, he was invited to give lectures at Bailudong Academy. Thousands of scholars came to attend the lectures, and the library could not accommodate him. In the end, he could only give lectures in the open air for three days. "

So awesome?

Zhao Han seemed to have some impression, and it seemed like it was the first time he heard about it.

Zhao Han was chatting at the table, and Fei Ruyu also sat down, being surrounded by schoolchildren and flattering her.

"I came first in the county examination and also passed the government examination. It was really a fluke." Fei Ruyu was actually very humble and low-key. He asked a tribesman next to him, "How did the eighth brother pass the government examination?"

Tong Sheng, who was called his eighth brother, immediately burst into laughter: "I wrote randomly, thanks to my neighbor for helping me."

Fei Ruyu said in surprise: "Did your neighbor help you solve the problem?"

Badi shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, my neighbor helped me break half of it."

"Let's talk about it." Fei Ruyu was quite curious.

The eighth brother himself thought it was funny: "The prefect is a lunatic. He even made me stupid when he asked a question."

Fei Ruyu said: "I know, it's that 'the king is lustful and the king's ministers entrust his wife and his friends'. How did you solve the problem?"

The eighth brother said: "I kept reciting 'The king's minister entrusts his wife', and the student next to me got tired of reciting it, so the man said, 'It is because the king is lustful if he entrusts his friends instead of the king'. I quickly copied it, and then Passed the government examination!"

"Hahahahaha!"

All the schoolchildren burst into laughter.

Xu Ying looked strange and whispered: "If this person can pass the imperial examination, he must have bribed the prefect, or at least bribed the prefect's master."

Zhao Han exclaimed in amazement: "The Jiangxi imperial examination is so difficult that this kind of question is asked in the government examination?"

The prefect is an asshole!

The two passages before and after "Mencius: King Hui of Liang" were separated and then pulled together.

The general idea of ​​the two original paragraphs is: rulers can make the people live a good life, so it is not shameful to be so lustful, it is just human nature... Some people entrust their wives and children to friends, but they go traveling themselves, and when they come back, they find that their wives and children are starving. Get cold. How should we treat this kind of friend?

The eighth brother's question was completely irrelevant. It meant: The minister did not entrust his wife to the King of Qi, but entrusted it to the friend of the King of Qi because the King of Qi was lustful.

Then, this person was admitted as a child student...

What a hell if you didn't pay for the bribe!

Fei Ruyu and the eighth brother, after having lunch, were surrounded by their friends and went up the mountain.

Even if you don't get admitted as a scholar, as long as you can be a child student, you can leave the private school at the foot of the mountain and go to the academy halfway up the mountain to study.

If it weren't for Cai Maode, the deputy envoy for learning, who was honest and honest, these two guys would probably be able to get the title of scholar directly by using money secretly!

At this moment, Cai Maode was writing a memorial. He wanted to impeach the prefect of Guangxin. He was accused of randomly giving exam questions and deliberately leading candidates into a ditch.

Why the random questions?

Most of the candidates were stunned and all failed in the examination, so that dozens of candidates could be easily recommended and no evidence of fraud in the imperial examination could be found.

After this incident, Zhao Han completely gave up thinking about taking the imperial examination.

"Don't worry about them, let's go practice martial arts!" Fei Ruhe said with a smile.

Fei Yuanjian said: "Yes, yes, practice martial arts!"

Fei Ruhe selected more than a dozen private school children to train in the military formation that the teacher had just taught, and he was as high-spirited as a general.

The schoolchildren were forced by his tyrannical power and found it fun to train soldiers and fight, so they were all very interested at first.

But on the second day, half of the schoolchildren were in trouble, either with diarrhea, colds or fevers, and they just didn't come to practice anyway.

It’s so hard!

Fei Ruhe was furious: "If you dare to fool me, I will kill them!"

Zhao Han quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "If you don't want to, what if we bring him over to train? These people can't count on us, so let's train on our own."

The next few months were uneventful.

Zhao Han reads, practices martial arts, and learns the art of war every day, and his friendship with Xu Ying and Sanfei becomes increasingly close.

Fei Yuanjian has a new book boy, chosen by Mrs. Chen. The scholar's name is Fei Yu, he is smart and sensible, so the three costs become four.

Zhao Han started to grow taller, growing six centimeters in half a year.

This winter, a strong man suddenly came to Hanzhu Mountain, followed by two strong men, one black and one white.

"Fourth uncle, why did you come back to Qianshan?" Fei Ruhe was ecstatic.

Fei Yinggong said: "It's a big matter for the family and the country!"

Fei Ruhe said: "Fourth uncle, I have made a few good brothers, and I will learn from you in the future to be heroic and righteous."

"Get a bowl of water first, I'm so thirsty." Fei Yinggong's mouth was dry.

The uncle and nephew went to the dormitory and shocked Zhao Han.

One of the entourage brought by this fourth uncle was a black man, a ghost slave sold to China by Portugal!

(Ghost slaves are the black servants of the country. The rich people in Guangzhong have many livestock ghost slaves. They are extremely powerful and can carry hundreds of kilograms. They are addicted to speech and have a pure nature and do not run away. They are also called savages. Their color is as black as ink. The lips are red, the teeth are white, the hair is curly and yellow, and there are males and females.)

The Ming Dynasty was the main importing country of black slaves in the entire East Asia. The rich bought more slaves to look after their homes and homes, instead of using them to farm and pick cotton.

The black slave beside Fei Yinggong was over 1.8 meters tall. He was obviously carefully selected and purchased at an extremely expensive price.

"Greetings to Fourth Uncle!" Zhao Han bowed his hands.

Fei Ruhe introduced: "This is Zhao Han, the adopted son of father, also named Fei Han."

Fei Yinggong drank a bowl of water, nodded to Zhao Han, and said, "I'll go to the mountain and you can play by yourself."

Fei Ruhe asked hurriedly: "My fourth uncle hasn't been home for several years, so why does he run to the mountains when he comes back?"

"Something big happened." Fei Yingcong said as he walked.

"What's the big deal?" Fei Ruhe quickly followed.

Fei Yinggong said: "The Tartars broke through the border, and the court was helpless. It rushed for 800 miles to summon King Qin. The governor of Wei was summoning King Qin's army in Jiangxi. I went back to Qianshan to recruit soldiers of the Fei family. Not a single one of the Fei family's sects entered the f*cking family. The king is willing to work hard, and he only sends a few taels of silver saying it is to support military expenses. I came to the academy to try my luck and see if I can recruit some lofty ideals."

Zhao Han was very surprised and chased after him and asked, "When did it happen?"

"It was just last month," Fei Yingcong was too lazy to tell the children, "I won't tell you anymore, I have to go up the mountain quickly!"

Although Wei Zhaocheng, the governor of Jiangxi, was greedy and incompetent, in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, he was the only local governor in the entire southern region who was ordered by King Qin.

At least, sincerely commendable!

Watching Fei Yinggon go up the mountain, Zhao Han couldn't help but ask: "What does your fourth uncle usually do?"

"Great hero!" Fei Ruhe was so proud that he felt honored.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the fierce social conflicts, the idea of ​​"chivalry" became common and developed abnormally.

For example, in the first year of Tianqi, Nanzhi Jieyuan and Chen Zushou were already raising knights. When he became a doctor in the Ministry of War, he made friends with more than a thousand warriors, all of whom were "Yuyang heroes". After his death, someone wanted to recruit these knights. But those knights said: "We are so righteous that we die for Chen Jun, how can we respect the literary officials?" All the knights mourned and dispersed one after another.

Another example is Yin Geng, the deputy military envoy during the Jiajing period. He had no money to go to Beijing for a test. He won ten taels of silver through fraudulent gambling and bought a bad horse to go north. Just a hundred miles away, I got a good horse. When he arrived in the capital, he was full of money, all given by thieves along the way.

There was also Liu Tao, the censor of Zuodu during the Jiajing period. When he was sent to Shandong, the bandit leaders from the Central Plains defected to him one after another and followed him to take office in Jinan Mansion.

Gao Jie, the elder brother of Chief Assistant Gao Gong, was a young man named Ren Xia. Even after he won the imperial examination, he joined a group of thieves to rob business travellers. After winning the Jinshi, he finally restrained himself.

Wang Yangming’s disciples and grandsons even produced a lot of heroes.

These people are usually great Confucians who lead their disciples to give lectures, often attracting crowds of people. Many thieves and knights came to seek refuge with him and became his disciples. The great scholar turned into the leader of knights.

Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party, made friends with many heroes when he was patrolling Huaiyang. He would release the bandits captured by the local government for two thousand taels of silver.

Fei Yinggong, the fourth young master of the Fei family, is a "Confucian knight".

This guy carries a saint's book with him and wanders around in the name of studying abroad. Sometimes he visited famous teachers to study, and sometimes he made friends with bandits for robbery. He had become famous in Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and many local officials respected him.

This time King Qin brought hundreds of bandits with him and they were under the command of the governor Wei Zhaocheng.

When the country is about to perish, evildoers will appear!
