Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 76
The release of the list of the previous liberation examinations was announced in front of the gate archway of the state school, and the public officials of the state government hung up the red list with the names and hometowns of the tributes.

However, before it was time to publish the list, scholars from various counties had already crowded around the gate of the state school. Their faces had different colors, some were anxious, some were calm, and some were nervous. Fear, without exception, has more or less anxiety.

Wang Xiu and He Wei came late. This is already the third day of drinking with Zhang Bangchang. He thinks it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come to see him or not. He will notify you anyway. If you can’t be trusted, it’s useless for you to watch last night .

Zong Liang and Feng Yuan were the ones who followed Wang Xiu. They were older and could be servants, so they followed.

Seeing scholars everywhere, Zong Liang looked envious, and said softly: "It would be great if I could write the titles and solve the test list!"

"Brother, this is what you are good for. If you are a real man, you will live a happy life." Feng Yuan rolled his eyes with disdain on his face.

Wang Xiu looked at the two twelve or thirteen-year-old children in surprise, and said with a smile: "You guys are interesting, whether it's titled Huang Jia or serving in the battlefield, it's not easy for literature to know how to govern the country and to be proficient in strategy. "

Zong Liang glanced at Wang Xiu, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't speak, but Feng Yuan blinked and said: "It's not easy to face it, there is nothing impossible in the world."

Wang Xiu looked at Feng Yuan more, and said with a smile: "The ambition is commendable. When I return to Shangshui County, I will ask Uncle Qiu from Beicheng to teach you the spear and stick, and you will become a martial arts scholar in the future." What, he said again: "Also, it's good for a man to hit the sword immediately, but that's a martial artist, and it won't be a big deal. You have to keep in mind that a general who strategizes and makes decisions for thousands of miles is not just about shooting spears and sticks , more about astronomy and geography, human customs, arithmetic and physics, and even control the eating and resting habits of your opponents, otherwise, you will always be just a forward and fierce general, and you can only lead thousands of people to charge into battle, but you cannot lead an army of [-] to recover Yanshan."

"Crazy words."

Wang Xiu was startled, turned around to look, but saw a white-clothed scholar walking towards him with a face full of disdain, followed by a black-faced scholar.

"You are actually enshrining the sages, telling stories about wars and conquests, and slandering miscellaneous subjects such as astronomy and geography. You are here to wait for the list." The white-faced scholar said harshly.

Faced with the questioning from the white-clothed scholar, Wang Xiu was speechless for a while, she was shot while lying down, didn't she say Yourong's remarks?Scholars can't even say a word, why bother always come to the door automatically, and let no one pass.

He Wei smacked his lips and said with a smile: "People are talking here, they can say whatever they want, what are you doing?"

The white-clothed scholar's face changed slightly, and the black-faced scholar scolded angrily: "Madman, the state school worships Confucius and Mencius, and it is a place of refinement. How can you allow you to talk about vulgar warriors."

Seeing the pile of frivolous warriors, and obviously condescending tone, Wang Xiu felt a little angry in her heart, smiled coldly, and said humorously: "Vulgar warriors, could it be that the more than [-] military states in the imperial court were defeated by reciting poems?"

"You." The black-faced scholar felt discouraged for a moment. If he said that he despised martial arts, this was also the ethos of scholars. Anyone who didn't say a few words to the martial arts would be ashamed to hang out in the scholastic circle.But then again, Wang Xiu’s words are really difficult to refute. The Emperor Taizu was a general under Zhou Shizong. Scorn warriors.

The white-clothed scholar saw Wang Xiu's easy counterattack, leaving his friend speechless, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't use forceful words to reason. The Taizu immediately conquered the world, dismounted and ruled the world, but he didn't know that the scholars and the emperor ruled the world together."

"It's true, but the most important thing for a country is to have both civil and military skills. Otherwise, what would you use to take back Jibei." Wang Xiu was quite disdainful, but she didn't know that Feng Yuan's gaze gradually became hotter.

"It's a joke." The white-clothed scholar's eyes lit up, showing his aloofness, and he sneered, "Leading an army of [-] to recover Jibei, it's better to parade around the streets in red outside the Donghua Gate."

What is the embarrassment? What people say is reasonable. This is the usual logic of scholars. In his subconscious, he can't help but have a mentality of being superior to a martial artist.However, it doesn't prevent him from slandering: "You can also parade across the street at Donghuamen, the sun really comes out from the west."

"Brother, this statement is wrong!"

Wang Xiu was startled, and followed the voice, only to see Zhang Qiyuan in white, waving a simple gold folding fan, walking slowly, and unexpectedly saw Zhu Rong not far away, approaching him with malicious intentions Look, he can see the viciousness in his eyes.

The white-clothed scholar glanced at Zhang Qiyuan arrogantly, and said coldly, "Who am I to know? It turns out to be Zhang Zichu from Shangshui County. Nice to meet you!"

Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Wang Xiu, and said indifferently: "The soldiers of the Western Army are bathing in blood across the mountain. If you wait here to make noise, won't the hearts of all the soldiers be cooled?"

Wang Xiu can't see through Zhang Qiyuan. The day before yesterday, he was hiding his wits, but today he is righteous, but he doesn't seem to be helping him. On the contrary, he really disdains the loyalty of literati and martial arts, which makes him a little out of his mind.

Seeing Zhang Qiyuan's unbeatable face, the black-faced scholar immediately became furious, and said sharply: "Zhang Zichu, even you dare to be presumptuous in my Wanqiu. I don't see if I won't give you a good fight, and I will let you know that Wanqiu people are not good. Very bullying."

Hearing this, Wang Xiu looked sideways. What kind of stuff is this? A word doesn't match fists. If you talk about guns, sticks, and fists, he is confident that he can beat this guy to the ground with a few punches.

At this time, if there is some trouble, it's okay if no one goes to make a fuss, but if someone speaks up, it will be a lot of fun, and the ranking may be cancelled.

He curled his lips and said, "Brother Zhang, the list will be released soon." At this moment, no matter what, he had to say something for Zhang Qiyuan, otherwise he would be called unkind.

Zhang Qiyuan turned his head slightly, glanced at Wang Xiu, smiled intriguingly, and said: "Brother Wang Xiuwang is my Shangshui scholar, and he has made nine steps, so how can we allow you to talk about it?"

"Nine steps into a chapter, this is interesting." The white-clothed scholar sneered, he is a literati and no one will easily convince others, and you are not a famous Confucian scholar, especially an ordinary scholar, it is difficult to do it Let the proud scholars be impressed.

"There are seven steps to a chapter, and nine steps to a chapter is not difficult. If you say that you are from Shangshui, I don't believe it." The black-faced scholar sneered.

Wang Xiu pinched his nose subconsciously, he sensed Zhang Qiyuan's conspiracy, no, it should be a conspiracy.Zhang Qiyuan is flattering and killing him, lifting him high and placing him in front of the Wanqiu scholars. These scholars who participated in the examination, which one is not arrogant, you, an unknown young man, suddenly appeared at a certain height How can you be convinced in front of them, it's no wonder they don't besiege you.

In the lightest case, he would be condemned by everyone, and in the severe case, he might fight with fists and kicks. The most uncomfortable thing is that he had to accept Zhang Qiyuan's "good intentions".

"Brother Zhang is too famous. How can I have that ability? The talents in Wanqiu are the great sages, but Brother Zhang may win the state championship with his talent." He had to be fooled, but he also wanted to drag Zhang Qiyuan into the water. People brag about each other, but in fact swords and swords are like shadows. If you provoke Wanqiu scholars to make trouble, I will also pull you in. If you want to play, let's play together.

Zhang Qiyuan rolled his eyes and secretly scolded Wang Xiu for being treacherous, but he couldn't help laughing: "How dare I compare with Wanqiu, ashamed, ashamed."

Looking at the hypocritical performance of the two, some smart people still understand that they are not flattering, they are simply scheming against each other.

The scholar in white is not a fool, he sneered, and said: "One is a great talent with nine steps, and the other is sworn to be the leader. It seems that he really treats me as nothing."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen scholars from Wanqiu surrounded him with unkind faces.

Wang Xiu frowned slightly, fully on guard. He didn't want to and didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean he was afraid of trouble. It was not his style to be a coward when something happened, otherwise he wouldn't fight back when his home was broken. Fight back beautifully, fuck it.

Zhang Qiyuan's pupils constricted, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he took a step back subconsciously.
