Chapter 530 Duplicity

If you have to talk about the difference between Daye’s 14th March and previous years, after careful consideration and careful filtering, apart from the turmoil in the world, then the only thing that can be said is that it’s already the time when spring flowers are about to bloom But there was another light snowfall in the sky, the snow was not heavy, because the weather was already so warm that people couldn’t be reluctant to part with the warm cotton clothes, so the snow stars melted when they fell to the ground, the snow was so light that the road didn’t even become a little muddy Some.

The sentimental poet looked at the pattering snow that smelled like rain, and felt that these were tears of pity from the heavens, tears shed for Emperor Daye who was strangled to death on the second day of February.The person who said this was standing on the bank of the Yellow River, wearing a Confucian shirt, and looked like a poor scholar with no fame, with a wine gourd hanging by his waist, looking up at the vast Yellow River, he untied the wine gourd and took a big gulp , smashed his mouth and shouted loudly towards the Yellow River: "Your Majesty, let's go, the merits and demerits will be judged by future generations!"

He raised his head and gulped down most of the wine in the wine gourd, and continued to sigh: "Your Majesty opened the imperial examination, and only the poor family can become an official. Now that His Majesty passed away, where is the path for the poor?"

After saying this, the down-and-out scholar continued to drink, and drank a gourd full of wine in just a few sips.

"Floating life knows how many days, but there is no shape to chase the empty name. It's better to make more wine and pour it into the bamboo forest from time to time."

He composed a poem as if reciting, and smiled quite complacently after reciting the verses. He looked down at the wine gourd but found it was empty, and his face immediately became annoyed.He stood on a big rock by the bank of the Yellow River, looked at the wine gourd and made a sad gesture, and felt sorry for himself, because the wine was gone, but he was still not satisfied, and he felt sorry for himself, because he was too shy to buy wine money.

"Just now you said that the spring snow turned into rain because the heavens were weeping for Yang Guang's death?"

At some point, behind the scholar appeared a young man in a black brocade suit, a jade belt around his waist, and a black cloak. This man was slender, with a handsome and cheerful face. The most eye-catching thing was his pair of bright eyes. There is also a head of straight and long hair that is casually tied behind the head.

The scholar didn't notice that there was someone beside him, and he was startled when he heard someone speak out of the blue.

He turned around abruptly, and seeing the man behind him was very handsome and dressed in brocade clothes, he knew he was a man of status, but he didn't dare to scold him directly.

"Spring Snow Turns into Rain"

He slammed his mouth, and suddenly felt that these four words were good.

"That's a good word. That's right. Just now I used rain as the sky to weep in pity for the late emperor. Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

"No"

The handsome man in black brocade clothes smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Yang Guang was strangled to death by Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu on the second day of February. How did God remember to shed a few tears at the beginning of March? His feelings changed on this day." It's too slow, it's better to wait until May to cry, then those who will cry will be more sad than today."

"Why is this?"

The scholar was puzzled.

The handsome man smiled and said, "It will be summer after May, and there will always be more rain."

"boring!"

The man in brocade clothes turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two handsome girls standing behind the man. They were of ordinary figure and ordinary attire. They were all elegant and refined beauties. Born a woman who expresses how beautiful life is.The strange thing is that these two women are both wearing a black dress, one has a huge black umbrella tied behind his back, and he is holding a long wooden box in his arms.The other had a huge iron gun strapped to his back, and a long straight knife with a black sheath in his arms.

"Strange, so strange."

He muttered a few words, and when he turned around, he saw the wine pouch on the waist of the man in brocade clothes, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"This... general."

The scholar thought for a while and decided to use the word general to address him: "Is that wine by your waist?"

The handsome man smiled, untied the wine bag and handed it to him, "I can give you the wine, but can you tell me the name of the gentleman? Also, just now, the gentleman said that Yang Guang held the imperial examination, and the poor family's children have a way to become an official. Yang Guang If he is dead, the path for the poor family will be cut off, do you think that the king who will rule the world in the future must not be as good as Yang Guang?"

"Give me the wine, and I will say whatever you ask me to say."

The scholar said anxiously, "My name is Wang Ji. I'm just a down-and-out farmer who is addicted to alcohol. Wine tasting is okay. How can I know what it means to be an official and what to be an official? Besides, although Yang Guang is stupid, he still has merit. There are not many so-called heroes in the world who can match him, if he is not confused, he may not be a true emperor through the ages."

The handsome man handed him the wine, and the scholar couldn't wait to remove the lid and take a sip, then his eyes lit up: "Good wine! This is really good wine!"

"Excuse me, you just said that all heroes in the world are not as good as Yang Guang, what is the reason?"

The scholar was addicted to the smell of wine, thought for a while and replied seriously: "It's not all the same. In my opinion, the heroes from all walks of life in this world can be said to be stronger than Yang Guang, and they are nothing but three Lis."

"Three Li?"

"Li Yuan, Li Mi, Li Xian."

The scholar said.

"Of these three people, which one is better?"

The handsome man asked again.

Wang Ji said while tasting the wine: "Li Yuan and Li Mi are all from a wealthy family, especially Li Yuan, who is full of nobles. In their eyes, people from poor families are ugly loaches, such as Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei, who are all from poor families. Although they are powerful now, people from aristocratic families still look down on them. Li Mi, also from a wealthy family, has been talented since childhood This person is famous, this person can gain power, nothing more than relying on the folk songs of peaches and plums to confuse a group of mountain and field peasants. Li Yuan has already proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, so the ballads of peaches and plums fell on Li Yuan, and it has nothing to do with Li Mi. The good times are not long."

"As for Li Xian... I am a poor scholar from a poor family who often has no money to buy wine and drink. Li Xian is also from a poor family. Although I don't think he can achieve great things, I still like him."

The handsome man smiled and asked: "You mean, the children from the poor family can't compete with the big family after all?"

"Is that even a question?"

Wang Ji asked back.

"You follow me from today, I will take care of your drinking, and then you and I make a bet, if one day Dou from a poor family wins a big family, then I will win. If I lose, then your life's drinking money How about I pay for it all?"

Wang Ji asked cautiously, "Then what if I lose?"

The handsome man held his head up and smiled, his eyes looked contemptuously: "I heard you compose poems just now, and you have some literary talents. If I win, I will have to raise a few people who sing praises."

There is Daze in Dongping County, named Juye, and there is a high mountain beside Juye Ze, named Liangshan.

The main village of Yanyun Village in Juyeze is on Liangshan Mountain. Today's Yanyun Village is so large that it is unavoidable to be speechless. The city wall built according to the mountain is worthy of the word majestic and magnificent. The village is well-equipped with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and there are more and more common households in the village. Inside the majestic city walls are orderly dwellings, and if you look down the mountain, you will see endless water villages. It became a majestic city.

Walking up the hillside from the water village, there is a small path with stone steps. When you walk to the end of the road, you will find a building, which is not tall and magnificent, with wooden walls. The most eye-catching thing is a three-story wooden building. , and if you go through the wooden building to the back garden, you will suddenly see the light. There is actually a large flat land behind. It occupies a huge area and can accommodate 500 people.

There is a huge plaque hanging at the main entrance of the three-story wooden building, with two big characters in gold on it.

燕云

And on the main entrance of the hall on the square behind the wooden building, there is also a plaque with three large characters in gold.

Yanwuyuan

This year is the third year of the Academy of Martial Arts, and the second year since the completion of the new site.In the past, when the Martial Arts Institute was still small, it taught in the meeting hall of Yanyun Village, but as the strength of Yanyun Village became stronger and stronger, more and more students were selected from the army each time. , from the initial 100 to 300 this year.There are no too strict requirements for those who enter the martial arts academy. As long as the soldiers have accumulated military merits, they can be qualified for the entrance examination, and the teachers will select the best after the assessment.Whether you come from a poor family or a family.

It can be said that the Martial Arts Academy is the holy place in the hearts of all young soldiers.

Because after studying at the Yanwu Academy, those with the best grades will be directly promoted to the sixth-rank lieutenant, and if they are good enough to impress the dean, they may be promoted directly to the fifth-rank general.You must know that a school lieutenant of the sixth rank is an official position that may be difficult to achieve after accumulating military merit for five years without dying, while a general from the fifth rank, if promoted according to military merit, most people will never even think about it in their lifetime.

And as long as you enter the Martial Arts Academy, everything is possible.

The most talked about by the students of the Yanwu Academy, except for the fact that the dean Daxi Changru was the first general manager of the Sui Dynasty, created a bloody battle with 40 fine horses and [-] Turkic wolf horses in three days to kill [-] enemies, and killed them In addition to the brilliant record of forcing back.In addition, the outstanding students who graduated from the Yanwu Academy in the first two years have already achieved something. The most outstanding one is General Wu Yunzhao in the first year of the Yanwu Academy, and his younger brother, General Wu Tianxi in the second year.One year, both of them were promoted to rank three generals in just one year. This kind of speed is simply a myth in the Sui court.

This year's Academy of Martial Arts has just finished recruiting students, a total of 300 people, they are a group of extremely talented and enthusiastic young people, there is no doubt that they will be the fresh blood to supplement the ranks of lieutenant generals and colonels.

But today, the three hundred students were wearing the uniform cyan school uniforms, neatly
