Chapter 71 Chen Jichang’s martial arts (Part 2)

On the left hand, there was a man who looked like a stinger. His clothes were washed white and looked very neat. On the right hand, he was a young man... he was no longer young, a man in his thirties. Although the lines on his face were still clear, his muscles were slightly loose. However, the person was so arrogant that he could see that he was a man who was willing to revenge when he was young.

It is hard to imagine that such a person who is afraid of his wife is so outstanding if he is afraid of his wife!

While nodding to the man, Zhao Xing could not help but imagine the charm of the "Hedong Lion".

The tea was given to four people. The Buddha seal wearing the moon-white monk's robe first raised the cup and signaled it. The people sitting in the four corners bowed their bodies and thanked them slightly. Then everyone raised their cups and tasted the tea soup in the cup.

Zhao Xing felt that drinking a small sip would not quench his thirst. He was not a gentleman, so he wanted to drink the hot tea soup in one sip. But Su Dongpo was sitting in his hand, which made him unwilling to be too out of line, so he had to drink tea in small sips according to the rules.

Now he understood what Jin Buer was watching, and Jin Buer was watching the full set of tea ceremony.

The Korean tea ceremony was passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Now he is in the upper country of the Celestial Empire. When he sees the complete tea art display, he is naturally fascinated.

After drinking the first cup of tea, I entered the chat time and the atmosphere on the scene became much more relaxed.

Su Dongpo first introduced Chen Qing and Chen Jichang to Zhao Xing. Chen Qing also had a nickname called "Chen Jingshi", which means that when others heard his name, they were so shocked that they couldn't sit still.

However, time has eroded the other party's heroic spirit, and now he seems very gentle, as if the "liother" in his family has been trained properly.

Chen Qing pointed outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "I see the layout of your courtyard is like an archery field. But I don't understand what the strange equipment in the courtyard is for, especially I didn't expect that there is a Zen room in such a murderous courtyard."

The house is very clean, and the empty hall really gives people a sense of ethereality and clarity, but it is not a Zen practice. Zhao Xing bowed his body and explained: "Brother Ji Chang laughed. The things in the yard are saddle horses, horizontal bars, climbing walls, and stone bars.

My children are all mountain people, and climbing and hunting is their way of making a living. I don’t want the children to move to the city, but after reading the books, they forget their living skills, so they set up this courtyard. In this way, they will not be unable to learn books in the future and will not be unable to survive... This house is not a Zen practice, it is a martial arts room for competition."

"Oh?!" Chen Jichang looked at the house curiously, and couldn't think of how it was used to compete.

Su Dongpo had continued to introduce the remaining man to Zhao Xing: "This one was my secretary (master) Ma Mengde. I have Dongpo's land, and it all depends on Brother Mengde's transportation to the government..."

Ma Mengde, whose courtesy name was Zhengqing, was originally an academic official in the capital. Because he was honest by nature, he was not good at socializing, and his popularity was not very good. "Students were not happy, and doctors were also afraid of it." However, Su Dongpo admired him quite well, thinking that he was "pure and honest" and often went to him to play with him. Later, Ma Mengde did not want to "a blank scholar in the classroom", so he followed Su Shi to Fengxiang as an aide, and followed him all the way.

Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed by Su Shi's introduction. Su Shi called him his brother, and he also called Chen Jichang his brother just now, which was obviously a bit inappropriate. He got the wrong seniority. For this reason, Zhao Xing quickly apologized to Chen Qing and greeted the other party again, and then officially saluted each other for Ma Mengde.

In fact, this is not considered a mistake in generations. Different from other dynasties in the Song Dynasty, the relationship between masters and students in the Song Dynasty was a brother, so it was called "apprentice". In the Water Margin, Shi Jin once called himself "little brother". In later generations, he emphasized that "a teacher for one day and a father for life" was the name "master" and "apprentice".

However, Su Shi did not object to Zhao Xing's willingness to stay in the country. He took the marriage for Zhao Xing as his nephew. Now, the perfect solution to the identity problem makes Su Shi feel very proud.

Ma Mengde has been following Su Shi for eight years. After Su Shi introduced him, he added with emotion: Others who follow officials to make money, but Ma Mengde has been following him for so long and is still penniless and ashamed.

Seeing the other party's white clothes washed, Zhao Xing also believed this.

Ma Mengde didn't care about Su Shi's feelings, and he hurriedly explained the reason for coming from his hometown Qi County: "Recently, Chan (now Puyang, Henan), Wei (now Daming, Hebei) and Baojia caused trouble, and more than 300 Baojia people in Chanzhou (now Qingfeng East, Henan) attacked the county town. Daming Prefecture and Xiangzhou (now Linzhang, Hebei) responded one after another. Sima Xianggong has written a letter to abolish the Baojia Law. I estimate that the Baojia Law will be abolished and the bachelor's resumption will not be far away."

The so-called Baojia method is a reform content of Wang Anshi, and its core is: armed gangsters.

Wang Anshi's original intention was to hide his troops from the people, but because of the lack of a restraining mechanism, the armed gangsters became a country bully. They dared to rob farmers during the day. This time, they felt that they were not satisfied with the small fight, so they simply robbed the government. After easily capturing the county town, they felt that they should make their careers bigger and stronger, and even robbed the emperor to sit down.

Now, gangsters in various places have begun to "peasant uprising", and the entire northern front has been occupied by hooligans. Strangely, farmers in the area have fled to avoid the "peasant uprising".

Ma Mengde also came to avoid the war, and by the way, he brought Su Shi the latest news from the court.

Sima Guang, Liu Zhi and others believed that the Baojia Law itself was the inducement of the "peasant uprising". After the gangsters were armed, they often destroyed the existing law enforcement order. Therefore, the Baojia Law should be abolished in time so that society could be stable. For this reason, they put forward the suggestion of "abolition of the Baojia Law".

Ma Mengde's opinion was correct. Su Dongpo was not a complete opponent of the new law, but he also believed that the new law was too cruel and caused many inconveniences to the people. In implementation, it often became a tool for evil officials and gentry to oppress the people, so he demanded a "slow-forward" change.

If the officials (emperor) accept the proposal to abolish the Baojia Law this time, it means that he admits the failure of the new law. At this time, he will remember the group of people who opposed the new law at that time, which means that Su Shi will not be far away from his recovery.

The energy of the people in the field was to discuss the current situation, but instead put Foyin aside.

However, the monk was obviously worthy of his identity as a senior public relations staff member. He had been sitting on the vineyard in the center of the venue, smiling warmly, listening elegantly, without interrupting a word.

Seeing the other party's demeanor, Zhao Xing couldn't help but give his thumbs up.

Now Su Shi is the most relaxed person in the field. Xu Zhizhou passed away and the new magistrate did not take office. The acting officials did not care about controlling Su Shi, so he could talk about the political situation with confidence and talk about the love and moon on his behalf. He waved the "Talk of Genji" in his hand and said to Zhao Xing: "This book is good and very interesting."

The early printed "The Tale of Genji" was punctuated and divided into paragraphs and chapters. It is said that this type of layout was introduced from China. Chinese monks went to Japan to preach Buddhist scriptures, and brought this type of layout from Indian Buddhist scriptures to Japan.

At the same time, in China, the promotion and application of punctuation marks and paragraphs will take 800 years.

Zhao Xing recently obtained several exam papers for top scorers in history - they were densely packed with words, no punctuation marks, and no segments. Among them, the palace examination was a question-and-answer method, and the emperor asked the candidates for answers.

But even so, the question and answer were not divided into paragraphs or punctuation, which made him dizzy. So he planned to use this book "The Story of Genji" to make the punctuation mark "return".

Several people chatted enthusiastically, but Chen Qing did not deviate from Ren Xia's true nature. He couldn't get into such official words, so he leaned forward to ask Zhao Xing: "Following Li Ren's arrangement, I guess he is also a martial arts person. Why not show off his skills? "

When Zhao Xing heard this, he leaned over, looked at Chen Qing with a burning look, waiting for the other party to react...

However, the other party just smiled with a high smile and waited for Zhao Xing's "demo" with an expectant look.

Obviously, Chen Qing said "demo" that he wanted to see Zhao Xing's performance rather than to compete with Zhao Xing.

The current situation is: as long as Chen Qing does not express his opinion, Zhao Xing cannot take the initiative, because the other party is an uncle. A minor generation like Zhao Xing challenged him and spread it out, and even the heroes outside the courtyard would not be willing to do so.

The other party did not respond for a long time, and Zhao Xing sat upright and reminded Su Shi: "Mr. Baojia is causing trouble in various places, and heroes gather here. It is probably inappropriate to spread it out. Should Uncle Ji Chang come forward and let them disperse first?"

Su Dongpo is a criminal official, and he was so generous that he obviously didn't expect this to be scruples before. When he heard the reminder, he quickly looked at Chen Jichang. Chen Qing immediately stood up: "It's right for the people to remind him, I'll send them away now."

Zhao Xing bowed to Chen Qing and said, "In this way, I will go to change my clothes. When Uncle Chen comes back, I will play martial arts with Uncle Chen."

There is a big difference between competitive Taekwondo and actual Taekwondo. Competitive Taekwondo has added many restrictions to prevent the competition from appearing too tragic, while practical Taekwondo without restrictions is extremely fierce. Zhao Xing and Jin Buer fight each other and fight very fiercely. Jin Buer is skillful in his skills, while Zhao Xing is tall and powerful. The two fights loudly, making everyone dazzled.

"Is this the 'Tang Hand'? There was such a fierce killing skill in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?" After watching the game, even Su Dongpo, a literati, could not help but be moved. Chen Qing suddenly realized for a long time, and could not help but shake his head gently, but he didn't know why he shook his head.

After pausing for a moment, Ma Mengde interrupted: "If such a tactic is used for military formation techniques..."

Zhao Xing interrupted the other party, regardless of Jin Buer's expression, and said: "This is not a military formation technique, it is just a personal defense technique. Uncle Meng De, before, tens of thousands of Korean soldiers who were proficient in the "Tang Hand" were just dishes in front of the Liao people."

Ma Mengde was shocked: "Ten thousand...a plate of dishes, are the Liao people so terrifying?"

"Military formations emphasize organization and coordination." Zhao Xing ended this sentence meaningfully.

A civilian talks about the fighting skills of the army and will cause him a fatal disaster. Zhao Xing's termination is just right, and Su Shi changed the topic in time: "Dream, don't leave this time. Since you think I'm about to recover, then stay in Huangzhou. During this period, you can go to the people who are in the liberated place to help. Now that the people are short of people, you can just share your worries."
