Fenghou

Chapter 57
A county magistrate hurried in from outside with a group of officials. They held water and fire sticks. There were only twenty or thirty people. What could they solve?

A petty official in charge of the martial arts dormitory came panting and said, "Don't go back for now, wait until the situation subsides."

Hu Yantong grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"

The little official said with a bitter face: "The martial arts student and the Tai student fought, and the Tai student was injured. When the news spread, the Tai student started to make trouble."

Wu students and Tai students live together, so it's normal to have conflicts, but I didn't expect the conflicts to break out so soon.

Chen Qing asked again, and soon found out what was going on. It turned out that Wang Bo and others caused the trouble.

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, then said: "Your Majesty, the Tai 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.
