Lu Maofeng kissed a guard. This guard's sword skills were no less than Bai Erwa's, and he had richer practical combat experience.
Standing in the hall, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he first pointed out the etiquette of the swordsmanship competition, and then made a gesture. The barbarian boy bowed awkwardly, and raised the sword with both hands and slashed hard.
The first strike was intended to test the opponent's strength.
The guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion also came forward with swords in both hands.
After hearing a crisp sound, the guard took five steps back, but the brat didn't move at all.
Fighting again, the guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace have already used their skills. Just a four-liang swing of a thousand pounds has left Man Boy in a hurry, not to mention the advanced skills such as sticking the knife, sliding the knife, and backing the knife. After five rounds, Man Boy's sword is gone.
Being pushed aside.
"It's very good. You can move quickly without using any strength. Very good!" Li Yuanxing started to praise him. Just as he was thinking about how to reward him, the barbaric boy imitated Ichijoki's gift and knelt down: "Knife, learn to use the sword!"
Li Yuanxing thought for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, but learning swordsmanship is very hard. And you must undergo training before you can be recognized by the master. If you succeed in learning, I will give you the famous Changhe Sword with a hundred blades in the Palace of Qin." Li Yuanxing
After thinking for a while, he said to Lu Maofeng: "Give him to Yida."
"One knife!" Lu Maofeng exclaimed.
Li Yuanxing still nodded.
Lu Maofeng bowed and stepped aside, and then said to the barbarian boy: "Why don't you thank me quickly? Your master is the number one swordsman in the Qin Palace. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty calls him Yi Dao because there are very few who can become his enemy with one sword."
Master, thank you!"
This little boy can't speak Chinese well, and he only learned it on the boat for a month.
It was Ichijo Fai who explained it to him again before quickly bowing.
"Great, what's his name?"
"Your Highness, King Qin, our slaves and tenant farmers in Yamato do not have surnames or names." Ichikiki answered on his behalf.
After hearing this, Li Yuanxing said: "Since I have the opportunity to be my royal guard, I always need a name."
While Li Yuanxing was thinking, Barbarian Boy shouted: "I would like to be named Konoe, and I would like to be a loyal person!"
Maybe this is a kind of fate. The boy's name was Konoe Tadahito, and he became the ancestor of the Konoe family on the Japanese island. In the future, the Konoe family became the first of the five famous families on the Japanese island.
Of the thirty Japanese, except for Konoe Zhongren, who was left in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, the rest were sent to schools.
It is really a coincidence that the five major regent families in the history of Japan, the Konye clan, the Ichijo clan, the Nijo clan, the Kujo clan, and the Takashi clan, all of these surnames appear among these thirty people. They are all surnames chosen by themselves.
And it is an extremely coincidental fact. You must know that in the history of Wajima, these surnames only appeared during the shogunate period.
They were the various branches that split from the original Fujiwara clan, and they only grew stronger during the Warring States Period.
After giving rewards to the Japanese and sending them back to Chang'an City, Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng: "Go and tell Yi Dao that as long as the Japanese is loyal to me, teach him sword skills. One day he will fight for me and become my king."
The king's sharp sword. When he sent out troops in early April, I followed the king with a sword, and asked the guard Zhongren to follow him."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanxing met the Japanese in person, which showed that he paid enough attention to them.
At least who the King of Qin was and who he was. Naturally, Li Yuanxing did not need to explain it himself. After they had stayed in Chang'an for half a year, they would naturally understand what kind of identity the King of Qin was in the Tang Dynasty.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ichijo Hui and other twenty-nine people went to the Imperial Academy Department of the Ministry of Rites in Chang'an to take the exam.
The only restriction given to them is that they are not allowed to say that they are from Izumo, Wajima. They can only say that they came to Chang'an City many years ago and stayed in Chang'an.
Although they don't understand it, Ichijo Fai and others will still abide by this rule.
When Ichijo Fai and others came to the Imperial Academy, there were already many people here who were being eliminated.
Looking at the clothes of these people, Ichijoki and others knew that these people must be from the Japanese island like themselves, but they looked very poor, and the most well-dressed person was just a burlap jacket with a low-grade silk jacket.
That’s all.
The Japanese worship the strong, which is a typical concept of respecting the strong.
Their loyalty has two extremes. One is extreme loyalty, which comes with very objective conditions. For example, if the head of the house dies, the important ministers under the head of the house will usually die with him, because if they change the head of the house, they will not be able to get what they have.
status, so they would choose to die together in exchange for a loyal name and dignity.
The Japanese in the Asuka period had not yet reached the crazy religious-like fanatical loyalty of the post-Edo period or even the Meiji period.
The other extreme of loyalty is to be loyal only to very powerful people, which is the mentality of respecting the strong.
The strongest manifestation of this was during the war power era of the middle shogunate period in Wajima.
Ichijo Fai looked at the clothes he was wearing. It was the finest rainbow brocade. Only the royal family could afford it on the Japanese island. Looking at the barrier sword on his waist, there was no such sword in the Japanese island.
This is a very common sword, just a ceremonial knife for the lower class.
He touched the piece of paper in his arms again, and there was one hundred strings written on it.
He knew that one hundred guans was equivalent to one hundred thousand coins. And this piece of paper could be exchanged for coins at the bank in Chang'an City. Each of them had it, more or less. He had at most one hundred thousand coins. Konoe Tadayoshi had eighty thousand coins.
The lowest person here has 5,000 yuan. I heard that 5,000 yuan can be exchanged for 5 shi of polished rice.
So one hundred thousand dollars is equivalent to one thousand stones of polished rice.
I think the Lord of Izumo City was just like that. He didn't store a thousand koku of polished rice in his granary.
Looking at the Japanese people queuing up here, Ichijoki nodded to the people beside him, and walked forward without waiting for the officer who brought them over.
The two strong Japanese people beside Yi Qiuhui yelled and cursed: "Go away, untouchables dare to block the road here!"
Hearing this scolding, the clerk of the Prince of Qin's Palace was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and slowed down unnaturally. They were scolding the Japanese, not the people of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the clerk of the Prince of Qin's Palace would not
I went to take care of it, but I wanted to see the excitement and have something interesting to report when I go back.
Oshima Kozo was also here, and he finally got a chance to test from the Ministry of Etiquette.
For the hundreds of people he brought to test, it cost twenty coins for each person to pay for the test. This cost him a few bucks, but it was not a small amount of money.
Hearing the shouting from behind, and the shouting was in the Japanese language, he couldn't help but turn around.
Oshima Kozo and Ichijo Teru met each other's eyes and looked at each other.
After all, Ichijo Fai had been to Nara Castle, and he saw that the other party was wearing a bright red hat. This was the fifth-level official position of Prince Shotoku among the twelve ranks, and he was considered a high-ranking official in Wajima.
However, Ichijo Fai does not have a hat. On the Japanese island level, he is just a low-level civilian.
"Get out of the way!" For those who don't understand Prince Shotoku's twelfth rank, the sword next to Ichiki Teru made Oshima Kōzo's entourage give way, but he did not dare to directly attack Oshima Kōzo.
"Who are you?" Oshima Kozo asked.
"Eagle Division Changkong!" He finally has a name. Saying his name in front of others is a great honor in itself. And the other person also raised the horizontal sword in his hand: "Two Letters
Sincerely!" He also reported his name.
Oshima Kozo heard that the other party had a name. Even though he didn't have a hat, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
It's just that he has never heard of these two surnames.
After all, this is not a Japanese island, this is the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. Oshima Kozo gestured to make way for a table.
Ichijo Fai took a deep breath and stepped forward. This scene can be said to have had a great impact on the twenty-nine people. Just saying their names made the Japanese nobles give way to them. This meant that they had no less than
Noble status.
"Shangguan of the Ministry of Rites, I'm here to register for the exam." Ichighui behaved well in front of officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"Do you have a receipt?"
Yiyihui put the note from Prince Qin's Palace on the table, and then said: "We forgot to buy pen and paper on the way, can you sell it to us?" After saying that, Yiyihui put the piece of paper representing one hundred guans.
Oshima Kouzo was not very clear about what the note on the table was.
The official from the Ministry of Rites glanced at it and said with a smile: "If there is a smaller document for saving money, who would spend 100,000 yuan to buy paper and pen?"
Ichijo Fai looked behind him: "Who has five thousand dollars?"
The last half-year-old child squeezed over: "I have it." Then he put his five-guan coin on the table.
The official asked someone to accept the piece of paper, and then a clerk asked the number of people, took three boxes of pens and thirty pieces of ink, and then gave each person twenty pieces of paper, counting six hundred pieces in total. Finally, one
The plate was placed on the table: "I'll charge you five guan, get back four guan and one hundred cents, ten cents for paper and pen, and twenty cents for the test fee."
Ichijo Fai received the coins from the half-grown child, and then led them into the place where the Imperial Academy Examination was held.
Oshima Kozo suddenly asked the half-year-old Zhen Zhen: "What is your name?"
"Kujo Nobunaga!" The half-grown child responded and quickly followed the team and ran in.
Oshima Kouzo became even more confused. Who are they? Even the half-grown children have names. You must know that among the hundreds of people he brought, not even fifty people have names. The rest are...
It’s Jiro, the big boy or something like that, and sometimes even he gets the wrong person.
Oshima Kouzo was confused.
But these people waiting to take the exam were shocked.
They are both Japanese, so why is the gap between them so big?
There are only so many noble surnames among the Japanese, and those who can come here are somewhat knowledgeable.
At least they have never heard of these last names.
Speaking of wealth, just looking at the difference in clothing makes them ashamed.
When taking the exam, many people inadvertently started to approach Ichijo Fai and others.
They are not allowed to talk casually during the exam, but they are waiting to get acquainted after the exam. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
