Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 66 Choice
"Give up your pen and join the army?" Wang Kuo was slightly taken aback, looking at Wang Shouren with a determined face, he asked in surprise.

"Do you know what your choice means?"

"Student knows." Wang Shouren nodded firmly, "literati despise warriors, but students are not pure warriors. Students come from Jinshi background, so they are still scholars in essence. Abandoning pen and joining the army is nothing more than worrying about state affairs. Some people disdain my choice, but students don't care what others think."

"Students have been familiar with military books and handouts since they were young. If they can become a qualified general, this is also one of the students' dreams, so I ask the teacher to fulfill it."

"Hmm." Seeing Wang Shouren's persistence, Wang Kuo suddenly fell silent.

He didn't expect that He's student thought very clearly and knew what he would face in the future, but even so, he was willing to abandon his pen and join the army, which showed his firm belief in his heart.

It stands to reason that Wang Kuo should be supportive of the student's choice, and it is not a bad choice to abandon his pen to join the army, but as Wang Shouren said, if he really abandons his pen and joins the army, he will really be rejected by most literati , thinking that he is not doing his job properly and is not proud of being a literati.

So even though he knew that Wang Shouren's choice was not wrong, Wang Kuo had to think carefully about the future of his students.

After all, this is his own student.

Since he is a teacher, he must find a way to seek benefits for the students, cut off the edges and corners for them, and guide them to make the most correct choice.

Although Wang Kuo is selfish, it doesn't mean that he has no affection, on the contrary, he is very affectionate and righteous, which is why he is willing to help Li Shuyi to disgust the second prince, just because it is his own. For a woman, even if he knows that his choice is very bad for him, as a man, sometimes he has to learn to face it.

Similarly, when dealing with his own students, Wang Kuo will sincerely think about them, the reason is the name of teachers and students and the requirements of this era for teachers and students.

This is not just talk, but the fact of respecting teachers, just like being a teacher for one day and being a father for life.

So in this world, sometimes the most trustworthy people are not necessarily relatives or subordinates, but their own students.

To put it simply, as long as Wang Kuo doesn't do anything that angers people, then once his students betray him, they will be cast aside by people all over the world.

In ancient China, there was a filial piety called three years of filial piety. In fact, how many people are unwilling to waste these three years of good youth, and how many people are at the peak of their careers. How much impact will three years of filial piety have on them?Don't they know?Did they really go back to keep their filial piety because of their filial piety?

No, it cannot be said that all of them are unwilling to keep their filial piety for three years, but there are definitely not many who are really willing, but if they don't, then they will be branded as unfilial, and they will be cast aside by the world and the emperor from then on.

This is also the reason why Wang Kuo treats several of his students differently, just because he understands that anyone can betray him these days, only his students are tied to his boat.

"I hope the teacher will be perfect." Wang Shouren saw that Wang Kuo was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help but suddenly stood up on the chair, and then fell to his knees with a bang.

"Hey, get up first, I have to think about this matter carefully as a teacher." Shaking his head, he couldn't give Wang Shouren an accurate answer for a while.

"My lord, the list is about to be released outside." Just when the scene was quiet, a Jin Yiwei suddenly knocked on the door and entered.

"Okay, this matter will be discussed later, I will give you news as soon as possible, and you, as a teacher, should think carefully." Wang Kuo suddenly decided to dismiss this meaningless meeting, and turned to watch Say hello to Xiao Dezi and several close friends of Nanzhen Fusi.

"You guys should step back first, remember to act during this time, and keep a low profile for me. The current situation in the court is turbulent, and the border war is still unknown. Your majesty is in a bad mood. Don't let your majesty spread the fire. on us."

"It's your lord." Hearing the words, several people hurriedly clapped their hands in salute and agreed.

As soon as the news came out that the imperial examinations would be released, all the literati in the capital were looking forward to it, and even ordinary people talked about it.

Because there are too many bettors in this trial, from princes to peddlers, they all want to have a good time.

Brothers Zhen and Jia were drinking together in the inn, when a student came to the door: "Brother Zhen, Brother Jia, hurry up, I heard that the auspicious time is coming, and the emperor's envoy has already left the palace to release the list."

The two people who were drinking each other were shocked when they heard the news. They had been waiting for this news for a long time.

The two who had confidence in themselves also planned to use this imperial examination to justify their names. Even if they could not wash away their shame of losing to Wang Kuo, it would still give them a more positive reputation after all.

So the two who heard the words quickly invited the student who was in the same illness as them, and began to wash in a hurry.

Jinshi in high school also needs to take a shower and change clothes, right?No matter what, you must use your best state to face the next official robe.

In fact, not only a few of them, but also many students who lost to Wang Kuo, were all looking forward to this moment, because they also wanted to rectify their names.

For example, Liu Shaoqing, Wei Chengli and Dong Fenlin are famous talents.

These people were full of anticipation and apprehension in their hearts, they adjusted their clothes one after another, and went out in sedan chairs or on foot.

Many scholars were chattering, and the common people were talking about it, some were looking forward to being named on the gold list, and some were looking forward to the students they suppressed to be among the best.

Everyone went out together, or invited three or five friends together, but Liu Shaoqing and others, who had high hopes, were followed by some good people along the way just after walking not far.

When we arrived at the Gongyuan, there was already a sea of ​​people, and there were more people watching the list than in previous years. It was so dense that there seemed to be no end in sight.

Until someone shouted: "Liu Shaoqing, Mr. Liu is here..."

"And Mr. Wei Chengli and Wei are here." Hearing these voices, the surrounding students all cast envious eyes, and some even stepped forward to say hello to him.

However, when a sudden voice suddenly sounded, the surrounding voices suddenly fell silent, casting their disdainful and mocking gazes over.

"Brother Zhen Jia is here."

"Oh, these people are really the scum among our students, they are rebellious, and they lost us."

"Hmph, if you don't have the skills, don't go to the competition. If you lose the competition and don't admit it, I will be ashamed to be with you."

"..."

As a result, countless people voluntarily left the crowd and looked at Brother Zhen Jia and others with strange eyes.

These people benefited from Wang Kuo's propaganda to them, and their reputation at this time has already stinked the street, which also made some students who were not far from them subconsciously stay away from them, forming a crowd of people in front of the Gongyuan gate. Very stark contrast.

Other places are crowded with people, only their surroundings are empty.

This also made Zhen Jia brothers and the others look ugly. They no longer had the smiles just now, but their faces were dark and ugly.

In the distance, someone yelled: "You bastards who have lost the face of literati, you still have the face to come out, why don't you go back quickly."

"If you don't have faith, why don't you die?"

Huan was scolding here, but the few people there had already bowed their heads and remained silent. Under the public anger, they could only swallow their anger.

drop by drop...

The crisp suona sound suddenly sounded from far to near, immediately intimidating the audience.

You know, in later generations, the suona is the legendary king of musical instruments. No matter what kind of musical instrument it is, medium or foreign, as long as the suona comes out, no matter what sound you make, you have to cover it obediently.

So when dozens of men puffed their cheeks and blew the suona, the noisy sound outside the Gongyuan suddenly lost its color.

Seeing this, Brother Zhen Jia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If things go on like this, they are really afraid that this group of crazy people will tear them apart.

Liu Shaoqing and the others frowned and glanced at Brother Zhen Jia in the crowd, quite dissatisfied with this group of people stealing the limelight from themselves and others, but when the suona sounded, there was no time to get angry, and they all looked in the direction of the suona blowing go.

"Hey, Brother Wei, let's see, who is there? Why do I look so familiar?" Liu Shaoqing suddenly pointed to a few people not far from the Suona team.

I saw that there were men and women among those people, but the same thing was that they were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and they looked like queens of princes.

Frowning, Wei Chengli said in a low voice: "That's the second son of Marquis Tie Jun, and the son of Marquis Jin Yuan, and the one on the left is Princess Ning."

"These people came here today, I'm afraid they all made a bet. They are just some flying eagles and running dogs. Just ignore them."

Some of the students knew them, and some didn't, but they all had the same attitude when facing these people, that is, ignore them.

There is no way, literati are proud, they only admire literati, and no one can catch their eyes except literati.

While talking, Wang Kuo also arrived with five disciples.

Someone shouted from a distance: "Wang Kuo is here."

Countless people cheered and looked over, the crowd stirred up and quickly gave way.

It's just that these people gave way to Liu Shaoqing and others because Liu Shaoqing and others did have that reputation.

But for Wang Kuo, it was purely a mentality of wanting to watch the excitement.

It is well known that Wang Kuo's students and candidates for this subject were bet by gambling stalls in the capital, so these people also wanted to see what Wang Kuo's expression would be after losing.

As for winning?They never thought about it.

Even if they had to admit that Wang Kuo's literary talents were very high, and he had beaten countless scholars in the star tower aboveboard, but that was Wang Kuo, not his student.

On the other hand, Liu Shaoqing and others are well-known talents in the capital, and He Yong and others are just unknown people, so in the hearts of everyone, let alone Liu Shaoqing and others, they are true and false brothers. It is also slightly stronger than He Yong and others.

Wang Kuo had a reserved smile on his face, and today he was extraordinarily low-key, smiling kindly at everyone.

He suddenly turned his head to Ji Ce and Di Bo and said, "How about what I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter is up to us, just watch."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Kuo's face became even brighter.

"Okay, okay, with your words, then I can rest assured."
