Chapter 51 Standing up
The first one was, naturally, Tang Che himself. The second one was the first person to stand up and embarrass Yang Ju just now. This person was not tall, but he had a slim appearance. Fatty Xu saw this person.
, and quickly whispered in Yu Ren's ear, "Boss, you have to be careful about this guy. His name is Wang Shiji, and behind his back, everyone calls him Dwarf Tiger. I heard from a student who studied in Wansong Academy
My cousin once said that this short-legged tiger was a nuisance to their Wansong Academy.
In the academy, most students have to pay him protection money. If they don't pay, they will be embarrassed by him and his group of brothers. Sometimes they will stop them on their way home and beat them up."
"Why didn't they tell the gentleman in the academy?" Yu Ren asked puzzledly. When he was a child, he also encountered this kind of college students bullying elementary school students, and was personally victimized, so he was very cautious about this kind of behavior.
Yu Ren also hated it deeply.
"Say it, it's no use. This short-footed tiger is very smart. He behaved very obediently when the teacher was here, and he became close to the teacher's most popular disciple, Tang Che. With Tang Che's help
They would say nice things in front of their husband, and every time something happened, his husband would just scold them lightly and let them go. Therefore, they were so confident.
Yu Ren nodded. In fact, he didn't care much about Wang Shiji. After all, being able to bully classmates in the academy does not mean that you can fight on the battlefield. These are two completely different concepts. However, the next three
Players, Yu Ren can't help but be moved.
These three people are Li Xianzhong and his two subordinates, Li Liu and Li Qi. Yu Ren has not had the chance to see Li Xianzhong's hand, but he has learned his archery skills a long time ago.
.And the methods of Li Liu and Li Qi were learned by Yu Ren personally.
If it were just Li Liu, Yu Ren believed that with the ten moves he had learned from Cao Wenzhao and his bookboy Cao An on the ship in recent days, if he could give full play to his offensive advantages, he should be able to cope with it. However,
It was absolutely impossible to deal with Li Qi. Li Qi's methods were not just a little better than Li Liu's. At that time, outside Fuzhou City, Yu Ren saw him fighting with the bandit leader who looked like Li Kui.
Such a brave person could not resist him. Yu Ren believed that no one in his group could withstand Li Qi's attack.
However, once the words have been spoken, there is no room for regret. Anyway, for him, it does not matter whether he takes the scientific examination or not. Based on his current understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, even if he takes the scientific examination, he can only hand in a blank paper.
.However, he was still worried about Lu Xiangsheng.
"Brother, do you want to think about it again? These people are not easy to deal with. I know the three later ones. They are all from the Li family in Liaodong. They have all been on the battlefield. Especially those who stood up in the end
That Li Qi. This man has extraordinary reach and courage. I have seen him fend off dozens of fierce bandits by himself without changing his face." Yu Ren reminded Lu Xiangsheng in a low voice.
"Brother Yu, don't worry. Once I agree to this matter, I will not change it. The sage said: Since ancient times, there has been death, and people cannot stand without faith. Regardless of victory or defeat, I, Lu Xiangsheng, will never complain."
Yu Ren didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng was still a strong man, so he couldn't help but think more highly of him. "Okay, just based on your words, I will make you my friend."
The two were talking quietly in the audience. Yang Ju on the stage had already decided the time and details of the competition with Tang Zhe. The official competition was scheduled for seven days later, at the foot of Wushan Mountain. The time was set later, mainly because of Yang.
Yang Ju's repeated requests, he believed that the five people he had were put together temporarily and needed a few days to communicate. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of preventing Yang Ju from participating in the scientific examination, Tang Zhe did not push too hard.
In order to prevent the eight-point success of the plan from going to waste again.
Tang Zhe made an appointment with Yang Ju at a time and place, and left first with his group of more than thirty people. Seeing this, the scholars in the teahouse were also ready to leave. Most of these people were actually Donglin
Supporters of the Party. However, they do not have the courage to risk their fame and career to compete with the Zhejiang Party represented by Wansong Academy. After all, for these scholars, they
Influenced by the Confucian philosophy of transcendence since childhood, what I strive to pursue throughout my life is fame.
In this era, there is almost no other way for scholars to get ahead. There is only one way - to take the scientific examination. Once they are honored and honor their ancestors, their first mission in life is considered completed. Although there are really few scholars who can
There are very few people who pass the examination, become Jinshi, and become officials in the court. But if you want them to give up this opportunity, it will be more uncomfortable for them than killing them. However, seeing their idol in their hearts being ruthlessly
They could only stare at the blow, and these people felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
Therefore, most of these Donglin supporters left Yunjian Tea House with a guilty feeling, feeling guilty that they could not contribute at the critical moment of the contest between Donglin and Wansong Academy.
Yang Ju is indeed a smart man. He saw through the mentality of these scholars at a glance. He wanted to make full use of the guilty mood of the scholars. So, as soon as Tang Che left the teahouse, Yang Ju
He loudly said to the scholars in the audience, "Zhiyong is very grateful to everyone for supporting me, Donglin. Although due to limited quota, more Nian brothers cannot participate in this competition with Wansong Academy. However, Zhiyong
Yong's gratitude to all his brothers did not dare to diminish. When Yong came, he brought several of his latest engravings, a new book specializing in "Zhiyong" - "Provisional Collection of Ming Jing Shiwen".
After a while, I will have someone distribute it to all the Nian brothers at the door.
Everyone present, Brother Nian, will have a copy."
The scholars in the teahouse were all looking downcast, but when they heard Yang Ju's words, they all became happy again. Of course, this was not just because of Yang Ju's gift of books, but more importantly, because of Yang Ju's treatment of them.
Scholars have always had this problem. They are not afraid of suffering losses, but are most afraid of being looked down upon by others. Yang Ju's words undoubtedly elevated everyone's status and made their faces shine.
As for Yang Ju, no matter whether he wins or loses in this competition with Wansong Academy, he will try his best to win over the scholars. This is the long-standing tradition of their Donglin Party and their always-on advantage, so
, he took advantage of all available opportunities to establish a good image of the Donglin Party in the hearts of scholars everywhere.
In ancient society, because there were no news media such as television and the Internet, literati became the center and representatives of public opinion. Whoever wins the hearts of the scholars in the world also wins public opinion and the hearts of the people.
Zhejiang has always been regarded by the Zhejiang Party as the rear area and home base, and almost all scholars in Zhejiang are supporters of the Zhejiang Party. In order to sow seeds in Zhejiang, the base camp of their opponents, Yang Ju and others also came to Zhejiang this time.
It took a lot of thought and money.
Fortunately, most of the important figures in the Donglin Party are wealthy. Money is not a problem for them.
After seeing off these cheering guests, it was the turn of Yu Ren and the four important people. Of course, there was also the less important Fatty Xu.
Yu Ren glanced at the two brothers who had signed up earlier than them. They were a pair of brothers. The elder brother was named Wu Peng, and the younger brother was named Wu Ying. The two brothers looked very similar, and they were both talented people. Not only
Not only are they tall and slender, their complexions are fair, but they also have a small wisp of light beard. They are not from Zhejiang, they are originally from Songjiang Prefecture, but they are temporarily living in Hangzhou with their families.
But during the exam, they still had to return to their place of origin to take the exam. This was the case with the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty, which is similar to our modern high school entrance examination and college entrance examination.
Yu Ren felt uncomfortable when he saw the beards on the mouths of these two brothers. Judging from their appearance, they were only twenty-five or six years old and only five or six years older than Yu Ren, but they looked old-fashioned.
Yang Ju greeted a few people politely, then personally led the way and led the five people upstairs.
The two Wu brothers were not polite and followed Yang Ju upstairs first. Under Lu Xiangsheng's push, Yu Ren had no choice but to follow the Wu brothers upstairs.
Yu Ren just walked to the stairs and saw that the boy from before was still standing there. But at this time, he had put on a flattering smile, as if he was afraid that Yu Ren would blame him for the confrontation just now. Yu Ren did not
Without glancing at the boy, he followed a few people upstairs.
