Chapter 187: A sensation in the Imperial College

The sun shone brightly, and the Imperial College, a team of people drove over in a mighty manner. The guards were tall, wearing shiny iron armor, with swords hanging on their waists, and horse spears on their hooks. In one sentence, they were fully armed and majestic, making people intimidated at first sight.

There were many students entering and leaving at the gate of the Imperial College. When they saw this group of soldiers, they couldn't help but stop and looked at them in surprise. They saw three people surrounded by the soldiers, one of the old man with a white beard, one of the Taoist priests with a fairy-like appearance, and one of the young people who were not very handsome and still could not be used.

The old man had a smile on his face, which was particularly kind and kind; the Taoist priest was so arrogant that he felt admiration at first sight; only this young man had a solemn and murderous aura

Although he was laughing naturally and intimately, his every move showed a murderous aura, which made people feel palpitations.

The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. There were many people here, most of whom were well-educated and long-time students. However, such strange things as Taoist priests and generals came together have never happened in the history of the Imperial College. These students couldn't help but be curious and surrounded them.

The students wanted to see the truth, but they didn't expect that they would stop the soldiers before they even got ahead. All the students in the Imperial College have fame and many of them have a bright future. They have a sense of arrogance in their hearts. Not to mention soldiers, even the emperor should be polite to them, so they would not take soldiers seriously.

Someone said strongly: "Get out of the way! You dare to stop us scholars, but you are not young!"

One person said, everyone and the students all showed their posture and wanted to push the soldiers. However, their strength was like a sunny flies shaking the stone pillar, and it was useless at all.

The young man on the horse's back snorted coldly in his nostrils. Although his voice was light, he had a sense of power. These students couldn't help but look at him. Only his eyes were shining sharply, and his murderous intent was surging. He couldn't help but become depressed and dared not stand on his back.

This young man is no one else, but Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong is no longer the same as before. He has crawled among the dead and taken a bath in the blood. These students who have not experienced the battle formation can only be afraid in front of his momentum.

"Go aside! Artillery General Chen is here!" The soldier roared in his throat.

Among the artillery Yang Wei army, the best contribution to this war has long been spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Of course, artillery general Chen Wanrong naturally became a household name. This revealing his identity immediately made a miraculous effect. The students immediately saluted respectfully: "I have seen General Chen!"

Everyone had a happy face, as if they saw their ancestors, and even the powerful students just now were no exception.

Chen Wanrong's reputation is now at its peak, who doesn't want to see the charm? In addition, Zheng Wanru, according to Chen Wanrong's arrangement, told the news that Chen Wanrong was coming to pick people. The students of the Imperial College had long been looking forward to seeing Chen Wanrong. They just waited day and night, but Chen Wanrong didn't come. Unexpectedly, just when they were disappointed, Chen Wanrong suddenly arrived, and the joy in the hearts of the students was far beyond the description of the pen.

The old man with white beard is not someone else, but Ye Tianheng. He is a flag of the military weapon surveillance. Chen Wanrong is going to pick people today, so the top figures of the military weapon surveillance naturally need to help, so that they can have appeal.

Looking at the students who were happy and moved, Ye Tianheng was very surprised and whispered beside Chen Wanrong: "My friend, when they saw you, they seemed to see their ancestors. Unexpectedly, you General Chen is so majestic!"

Chen Wanrong held back his laughter and replied softly: "Master Ye, it's not my reputation, it's me that I used some tricks. I want to let the wind out of the Imperial College, saying that I want to pick people. They are looking forward to the stars, the moon, and I hope that I will come sooner, but I just don't come. When they are disappointed, I suddenly come, and it will be like this."

The Taoist priest was Sima Chengzhen. He was highly respectful to the world and was the emperor's guest of honor. The Imperial College student respected him very much, so Chen Wanrong naturally wanted to bring him to help.

"My friend, you really have to be aware of everything. I didn't go to the battle this time." Sima Chengzhen teased softly.

Chen Wanrong waved his hand and said, "Master Taoist, I have to do it! These scholars are all very proud. No matter how good the military weapon supervisor is, if they want them to work, there are probably few people who will go there. I have to put a good score to let them know that the worker supervisor is still promising, so that they will go there."

"You, you..." Ye Tianheng and Sima Chengzhen pointed at Chen Wanrong and wanted to say a few words, but they couldn't find any words.

"Get up!" Chen Wanrong looked stern, threw a sentence, ignored the students, jumped off the horse, came to the statue of Confucius, and performed according to the etiquette. Of course, Chen Wanrong would not kneel down, just bowed.

Chen Wanrong has no good feelings or bad feelings towards Confucianism, and it doesn’t matter whether he performs courtesy or not. What’s important is that today I am here to pick people in the Imperial College. If he does not perform courtesy, it will cause trouble. This is how to express it politely.

Ye Tianheng and Sima Chengzhen finished ceremonies to Confucius' statue and followed Chen Wanrong to the Imperial College.

This was Chen Wanrong's second time to visit the Imperial College, and he was revisiting the old place, so he couldn't help but look at it. Before he could walk far, a large group of people came towards him. An official, about sixty years old, was wearing purple official robe. He was the priest of the Imperial College, Xu Jian, who had met Chen Wanrong, and went forward to salute and said, "I've seen Lord Xu!"

The Imperial College Priest was a third-rank official. He was not only of high status and power, but also knowledgeable and highly respected. Xu Jian, a scholar, was a well-educated scholar who had great academic performance. He had a good reputation in the court. Although he was highly praised by Princess Taiping, he maintained an inseparable relationship with Princess Taiping. Similarly, he was also average with Princess Li Longji. No matter how Li Longji valued him, he always followed the tradition of "not biased or unpartying" of scholars, and did not rely on Li Longji, but only did his own affairs.

The more he is like this, the more people value it. In addition, this person has no official airs and a scholarly temperament, which makes people feel good at seeing him. Therefore, when Chen Wanrong saw him, he seemed to meet a university teacher, and was particularly kind, and this courtesy was extremely respectful.

Xu Jian's great scholars of the generation are the same as everyone else, not too much or cold, but they are exceptional to Chen Wanrong, and said with a smile: "So it's General Chen! General Chen, so are you. If you come, you don't say anything. Let's pick you up!"

The smile on his face was very sincere and kind, not as if he was pretending. His tone was kind, as if he had seen an old friend. Chen Wanrong and Xu Jian met several times, and they greeted him politely, but they were not as kind as today. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and smiled and said, "Mr. Xu said where did you go? I will be so angry that I will be sad when I finish my studies!"

Xu Jian smiled and clasped his fists at Ye Tianheng and said, "Xu Jian has met Master Ye!"

Ye Tianheng was a banner of military weapons supervisors. Although he had not studied, he was one of the few good craftsmen respected in the Tang Dynasty. Xu Jian and him were very close. The two not only met with each other, but also had a bear hug.

"Mr. Xu, guess who this Taoist priest is?" Ye Tianheng was in good spirits and pointed at Sima Chengzhen to test Xu Jian.

"Master Ye, do you want to stump me Xu Jian?" Xu Jian patted Ye Tianheng's shoulder twice and said, "Master Ye, when I was discussing Taoism with Master Sima, you don't know where you are."

Ye Tianheng originally wanted to make things difficult for this old friend, but he didn't expect that they had known each other long ago. Dajue was bored, so he whispered and complained: "Mr. Xu, you have to leave me some face!"

"Master Ye, you have a good face, too?" Xu Jian smiled and then greeted Sima Chengzhen.

The two met several times. Xu Jian was very knowledgeable and a splendid Sima Chengzhen, especially his calm temperament, which made Xu Jian yearn for the most. He wanted to leave mundane things one day. He lived a free and easy life like Sima Chengzhen, so the two of them were considered as a god-like friend. He gave up after another interesting talk.

Xu Jian introduced the figures of the Imperial College to Chen Wanrong. One of the old men was Dr. Chai, whom Chen Wanrong had met last time. When he saw Chen Wanrong, he couldn't help but complain: "Oh! The little old man didn't know Mount Tai. The last time he saw General Chen, he was so rude. I apologized here!"

Chen Wanrong sent Chen Zairong to the Imperial College for the exam last time and met Dr. Chai. At that time, Chen Wanrong was just a mud-legged person. Although Dr. Chai did not despise Chen Wanrong, he did not say much to him. How could he have thought that Chen Wanrong had become famous all over the world and became a household artillery general.

Such a character has not made friends. Although Dr. Chai is calm, he almost regrets his intestines.

"Sir Chai Bo's words are so serious! Chen Wanrong, a person who is uneducated, has met Dr. Chai." Chen Wanrong still met in accordance with the etiquette he had met at the beginning.

At the beginning, Dr. Chai was naturally bearable when Chen Wanrong said this. This time, he did not dare to bear it no matter what, and he was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground.

These people are doctoral students, assistant teachers, assistant teachers, Siye, and chief officials of the Imperial College, and they took a lot of effort to meet each other. The people in the Imperial College are all extraordinary, and everyone is a well-educated person. When Chen Wanrong saw them, he seemed to meet a professor and a doctorate in college. He was particularly kind and sincere in the tribute and had no airs. These people never expected that Chen Wanrong, who was in the limelight, was so easy to talk and everyone was happy.

After seeing the ceremony, Xu Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are coming, but after waiting for a while, I will not see you. I thought you will not come. Unexpectedly, you suddenly came. The imperial edict was issued for picking people. At this moment, Lord Chen, treat tea at a pavilion!"

Jingyiting is the place where Xu Jian handles official duties. He serves tea here and treats Chen Wanrong as a VIP.

Chen Wanrong is not the kind of person who likes to be polite. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, there is no need to serve tea, so I'd better start picking people."

Giving tea is a ritual for scholars. Chen Wanrong actually doesn't want this. Xu Jian was a little surprised, but more of it was praised and nodded, "Since that's the case, Xu Jian will be rude. Lord Chen, how do you choose?"

Chen Wanrong had already thought about this: "Mr. Xu, I'll meet you all and explain it thoroughly. If they are willing to come, I sincerely welcome you. If they don't want to, I won't force you."

Dr. Chai was in trouble: "Mr. Chen, although there are not many Imperial College, there are about two thousand people coming. If all of them come, there will be no such big land!"

There were more than 2,000 people in the Imperial College in its heyday, but it would take until the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Now, although it is not as good as the heyday, there are nearly 2,000 people. If you really want to squeeze together, you really can't find such a big room.

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a piece of open space, it will be done."

"Empty land?" Xu Jian and the others were in a little trouble.

Scholars value etiquette first. It is rude and rude to ask them to come to the open space to meet Chen Wanrong. How can the students not make trouble?

Just look at the corrupt scholars’ etiquette. Chen Wanrong has no favoritism for such people and said disapprovingly: "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be troubled. It is natural to do things for the court. If a person sticks to those false rituals, he is to be in a position to be in abide by the shortcomings. Even if he wants to come to the military surveillance, I don't want it! It would be better if they don't come!"

"This, this..." Dr. Chai and the others couldn't help but wonder.

It was still Xu Jiantongda, nodding and said, "Since that's the case, then pass on the message."

In the Imperial College, the highest order is the most effective order, which is more effective than the imperial edict. Scholars have a very good ambition and a strange temper. Some people are proud of being arrogant and respectful to the kings and princes. They can not take the imperial edict seriously, but they cannot ignore the order of the imperial edict.

Xu Jian's order was delivered, and the students rushed in groups of three or five. As soon as they met, they kept asking, "Where is General Chen?"

"Which is General Chen?"

The reason why they came here was more to see Chen Wanrong's style.

Just as they were talking, Chen Wanrong, accompanied by Xu Jian and others, rushed over. Following Chen Wanrong was also a team of tall artillery soldiers. They followed Chen Wanrong and closely guarded them, as if they were facing a great enemy.

It’s not that Chen Wanrong likes to show off his character, but that Chen Wanrong knows the temperament of these scholars, and is arrogant and arrogant, but also admires power. If they don’t put on their power or take off their airs, they will definitely look down on Chen Wanrong. Then the matter of picking people today will be greatly reduced. It is precisely because of this that Chen Wanrong specially selected dozens of extremely tall artillery soldiers to help.

The artillery soldiers were all extraordinary. This bright and magnificent formation seemed to be marching. The students couldn't help but be surprised and exclaimed.

More importantly, their eyes were filled with admiration. Chen Wanrong saw it and was very satisfied. This first step was right!

There were many people coming, eight or nine hundred, but less than half of the Imperial College students. Chen Wanrong was still satisfied with so many people coming. After all, the students were not very arrogant, and it was impossible for them to come. Even if Ruizong came in person, all the students might come to greet them.

Not to mention Chen Wanrong is the matter of picking people. In the eyes of the students, studying and becoming an official is the best way out. It is not impossible or difficult to ask them to work.

Chen Wanrong looked around and saw that the students were of different ages. Some were young and some were old. Chen Wanrong thought narrowly in his heart, "If you get ten years older, I have to call them grandpa."

Zheng Wanru was in the crowd and kept winking at Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong smiled slightly. Gao Jian next to Zheng Wanru stared at Chen Wanzhi with his eyes very bright. He could talk to Chen Wanrong, and he was naturally happy to meet again. Hu Dake, a native of Boqi, also looked surprised.

Xu Jian coughed and was about to introduce Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong waved his hand to stop him and introduced himself: "My name is Chen Wanrong, and he is an artillery general!"

The artillery has a very loud name. If you don’t use this identity, it’s really hard to say how great the effect will be this time.

As soon as the words were finished, the students were in a bad mood and started talking. They came to Chen Wanrong. After hearing this, how could they not talk about it?

"I have heard of the name of the Imperial College for a long time. I have long wanted to see you all, but I don't have time. Today, I finally have time to meet you. How lucky is it!" After Chen Wanrong's opening remarks, the topic changed: "I just came in and heard someone say that I am here to pick people and pick people for military weapon supervisors. Don't listen to their nonsense. I am not here to pick people, I am here to give gifts to everyone!"

"This is this..." Xu Jian didn't understand for a moment, his eyes were staring like copper bells, and his chin hit the foot.

The imperial edict was clearly written, saying that Chen Wanrong was going to the Imperial College to pick a group of people to work in the military weapon supervisor, but Chen Wanrong said that he was here to give gifts, which was two things that were unrelated. Although Xu Jian was knowledgeable, he had to be confused.

There was also Zheng Wanru who was surprised. It was Chen Wanrong who told him in person that he was going to pick people. Now, Chen Wanrong rejected it in public again, which was too unexpected. Zheng Wanru was so surprised that her mouth was wide open, her eyes widened, and she wanted to rush up to ask for it clearly.

Gao Jian beside him looked disappointed.

Sima Chengzhen and Ye Tianheng knew that Chen Wanrong had many ways. He said this and must have some plans and wait and see the good show.

"General Chen, is he a Tubo scimitar?"

"Is it the Tubo people's headdress?"

Chen Wanrong had just returned from Tubo. It was just right to give the Tubo people such as scimitars and headdresses to others. The students thought it was very beautiful, but what Chen Wanrong said was: "Do you want to drink barley wine?"

"You want!" Some students have a good wine, but they have long heard of the sweetness of barley wine, and they said it without thinking about it.

But he was more persistent and wanted to understand Chen Wanrong's intention before answering.

"Want to drink? Go to Tubo!" Chen Wanrong answered very simply, but it attracted a burst of laughter and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Chen Wanrong continued: "There are many beautiful women in Tubo who can sing and dance well and have a good alcohol tolerance. They can accompany them and enjoy singing and dancing. Do you want to find a few?"

What scholars yearn for is power, fame and fortune, and with power, fame and fortune, you can enjoy it. For scholars, enjoyment is not called pleasure, but it is called rhyme, or elegant affairs. What Chen Wanrong said is exactly what they thought in their hearts, but they cannot be said in public. Many people have the charming figure of Tubo women and the shy and angry beauty that appears in front of them.

This was very irrelevant. Xu Jian couldn't help frowning. He wanted to remind him, but he was not easy to say, so he could only wait and see what had changed.

Chen Wanrong said with a solemn face: "My gift is not gold and silver, nor treasures, but no matter how much treasure you have, you can't buy it! Even if you have gold, silver and gold at home, you can't imagine it!"

In addition to a small number of students in the Imperial College, the majority of the students from the Imperial College were elected by the people, but more of them were from aristocratic families. This was the result of the aristocratic system that began the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Their families had money and power. In their eyes, money was omnipotent, and there was nothing that money could not buy. If they didn't believe this, some people kept shaking their heads.

"What I give you is insight! What is insight? It's not something you can learn in books, nor is it what the teacher you hired for money can teach you! Don't believe it, right? OK, let's verify it right away!" Chen Wanrong took a piece of paper from the artillery hand, shook it, and said, "This is a piece of paper. Who can make me a flower?"
