During the Dragon Boat Festival, at dusk, on the south bank of the Tianjin Bridge, in an unknown wine shop, several teachers and students from the Jinling Martial Arts Hall were gathering.
There are three tables of guests on the first floor of the restaurant. There is an old man who is over fifty years old, one table for each person, another table of eight or nine men, and the remaining table is for Tian Yi, Li Tang, Wei Jinyu and Zhen Zhidao, four people from the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. Instructors and students.
The four of them were all from Lin'an City. They had known each other before, and now they worked together and studied at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. As time went by, they became a team. Today is also the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The emperor and principal returned to Lin'an City and they came out to relax.
"Guys, come on, drink!"
Wei Jinyu's face turned red and he picked up the wine glass.
Tian Yi picked up the teacup, glanced at Wei Jinyu, and reminded:
"Old Wei, just this one drink. Jinling Martial Arts Hall strictly prohibits drunkenness. You know it."
He and Li Tang were instructors at the Martial Arts Hall, so they didn't drink at all in order to take the lead for the students.
Neither Wei Jinyu nor Wei Liaowen knew about his affair with Wei Jinyu's sister Wei Sisi. In other words, it's not particularly clear.
"Don't worry, Instructor Tian. I know the rules of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall."
Wei Jinyu nodded, finished the wine, and turned the glass upside down to signal that he would not drink.
It's still the holiday season, so as long as you don't get drunk, I believe the martial arts hall won't interfere. What's more, it's just dark, and there's still some time for everyone to digest before they finish eating.
"Instructor Li, don't always stare at the two of us with a dark face. Over at Jinling University, those guys sometimes drink secretly. Even if the school finds out, they won't be so strict."
Zhen Zhidao said jokingly as he watched Li Tang eating and drinking tea with a dark face, but not moving the glass.
"Instructor Tian, you two used to follow the principal all day long. Lao Zhen and I always secretly said that you were the principal's hawks and wanted to deal with you. But now, you have become instructors, and you can do whatever you want with us. Even though I was scolded, I didn’t dare to say anything. It’s really unexpected!”
Li Tang had a stern look on his face, and Wei Jinyu quickly picked up the conversation and made a joke about Tian Yi and Li Tang.
"Old Wei, please don't take me with you. I have never thought of punishing the two instructors. You must not believe what Old Wei says."
Zhen Zhidao quickly explained to Tian Yi and the others.
In fact, he has a gentle personality. Wei Jinyu is indeed a thorny person who dislikes Zhao Hong and the people around him.
"It's nothing. If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. But having said that, you can't be lazy. You have to keep up with your studies and exercises. The principal attaches great importance to the students in the martial arts hall. You must grasp it."
Tian Yi said to Wei Jinyu and Wei Jinyu, it was meaningful.
Zhao Hong was ambitious and paid special attention to the northwest frontier fortress. He was worried that the first batch of students at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall might graduate early.
"Instructor Tian, you put it lightly. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. It may not be easy to get ahead!"
Zhen Zhidao shook his head, as if he was feeling something.
"Indeed! You like Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Brother Cao Youwen, Xiang Shibi, etc. All of these people are skilled in bow and horse and have good minds. Physical training and tactical training are easy for them. Their main purpose is to learn. Subjects such as queue and physical training. Maybe they can graduate in less than half a year."
Wei Jinyu continued.
It turned out that he thought he was great, but after he came in, he realized that there were too many people who were better than him, which really made his arrogance disappear a lot.
"Wei Jinyu, you are not bad. Zhen Zhidao, you are much worse. Compared with Jinling University, you are a soldier, they are not. You have worked hard to get in, and you must not give up. Look at Zhang Zhengsi, he was just average at the beginning, every day With additional practice, progress has been rapid, and everything has not been left behind in class and practice. Once something happens to the court, they can come in handy. Can you?"
Li Tang finally interrupted with a black face.
Meng Gong served in the army for many years and took artillery as an elective course to make up for his shortcomings.
Yu Jie was far ahead in his studies. He took the cavalry course as an elective, which had a lot to do with his poor riding skills.
Cao Youwen also chose the artillery department. Both of his brothers were skilled in bow and horse. Like Meng Gong, he also aimed at the new branch of firearms.
As for some other outstanding students in the martial arts hall, Wang Jian and Zhang Zhengsi chose the infantry department, brothers Cao Shixiong and Cao Erxiong are now in the artillery department, and Xiang Shibi and Cao Youwan chose the cavalry department. These are the leaders among them.
As for those dandy boys from Lin'an in Jinling University who often drink secretly, this matter needs to be reported to Zhao Hong, the nominal president of Jinling University, to rectify the school spirit of Jinling University.
"Zhang Zhengsi, he is just a member of Lin'an City..."
Li Tang glared at Wei Jinyu's words and quickly swallowed them back.
Don't judge a hero by his birthplace. This is what the emperor's principal said in the first history class of the Martial Arts Hall, and he solemnly warned everyone in the class.
"Instructor Tian, I met Wu Min today, and she asked me to inquire about Li Siyu. Is the principal back?"
Zhenzhidao picked up the wine glass and asked pretending to be casual.
"Wu Min?"
Wei Jinyu glanced at Zhen Zhidao in surprise, then smiled and said in a low voice:
"Honestly, how are you and Wu Min doing? Has she bullied you?"
"How could such a thing happen? We just cleaned up together and exchanged a few words!"
Zhenzhidao's eyes flickered, his face turned red, and he quickly denied it.
Even if such a thing happened, I would never admit it.
"The principal has not returned from Lin'an City yet. He is the king of a country and has to deal with government affairs. He is not as relaxed as us. However, in my opinion, Zhang Zhengsi's matter with Li Siyu should not be involved, let alone punish him."
Tian Yi ate the food slowly and said softly.
Li Siyu was told by a matchmaker and ordered by her parents to get married, and her husband's family kept urging her to get married. Li Siyu had no choice but to enter the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. After her parents found out, they wanted to kidnap Li Siyu and take her back. However, they were destroyed by Zhang Zhengsi and the guards of the Martial Arts Hall.
From Zhao Hong's standpoint of protecting his calf, he would definitely favor the students of the Jiangwu Hall. Zhang Zhengsi rescued his classmate and should be fine.
Li Tang patted the table lightly, shook his head and said angrily:
"Li Siyu's father and eldest brother are really nothing, and his daughter and sister will not be spared either! With such a cold-blooded family, no wonder Li Siyu wants to run away!"
If it were him, he wouldn't treat his family like this.
"The important matter of marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Li Siyu ran away secretly, and her family took her back to get married, which is in line with etiquette. Zhang San must be fine, but now I just don't know, how should the principal handle this matter? "
Wei Jinyu said with a frown while eating the food.
Everyone here nodded. Although Li's father treated his daughter simply and roughly, he could not fault her in terms of etiquette.
Zhao Hong loves his students as sons and will definitely protect them. Zhang Zhengsi acted bravely, so nothing should happen to him. But Li Siyu is different. His motivation for entering the martial arts hall is impure, and he may be forced to drop out of school by Zhao Hong and be sent home.
"It's easy to talk about Li Siyu. After all, she is a student of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall and a soldier of the imperial court. The principal will not ignore her."
Tian Yi said something faintly, as if he was lost.
Three obediences and four virtues, three cardinal principles and five constant virtues. Women have a tragic fate, but they have to accept it. Li Siyu dared to escape from marriage, and his courage was astonishing.
"Your Majesty is very busy with political affairs. He is exhausted all day long and has to be distracted by these trivial matters. It's annoying just to think about it!"
Li Tang said angrily with a black face.
Side affairs were neglected, the administration was corrupt, and the military administration was in shambles. Zhao Hong managed everything day by day, which was exactly what he said:
It wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, and works more than a donkey.
It was already cruel enough, but he also encountered such messy things as the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. Too bad they couldn't help.
Wei Jinyu remained silent.
After entering the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall and getting to know Zhao Hong more, I realized that the emperor was not so superior, but lived a much harder life than them.
Such a hard-working emperor and principal made people awe-inspiring and made him feel pitiful.
"Your Majesty is just too impatient. What took 30 years to accomplish, he wants to accomplish in 3 years. The implementation of the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road involves the interests of all aspects, so it is so easy. Your Majesty is very worried. In this matter, he It’s too serious.”
At Tian Yi's words, Li Tang's face turned grim, and he slammed his chopsticks on the table, startling Zhen Zhidao and Wei Jinyu.
"Tian Dalang, you are not talking nonsense! The Song Dynasty has become like this. If Your Majesty is not anxious, will he still be a good emperor?"
Li Tang's voice was a little louder. There was a table in the distance where people were eating and drinking noisily. Some people looked bored and turned to look over.
"Li Tang, don't make any noise."
Tian Yi smiled slightly, not angry, and his voice was much softer.
"It's useless for you to shout at me. I'm worried that Your Majesty is working too hard and the gains are not worth the losses. With so many monsters and monsters, including the ministers of the DPRK, how many fuel-efficient lamps do you have? Your Majesty is in trouble!"
Tian Yi sighed, Li Tang was speechless, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
The people at the table in the distance looked away again.
"Instructor Tian, what you said is absolutely true!"
Zhenzhidao nodded involuntarily.
"I worked as a minor official in Fujian, and I know how messy it is. Most officials only work for promotion and wealth. The common people's court is nothing in their eyes! Officials protect each other, and the relationship is intricate. The government and the wealthy families are in collusion, and the clans The power is huge, the people are stupid, and they are easily provoked. With so many high-ranking officials on Jiangnan East Road, it may be difficult for the principal to smoothly implement the new policy!"
Zhen Zhidao was very emotional. He poured a bowl of wine and wanted to drink it, but was stopped by Li Tang.
Li Tang waved, and the waiter quickly took the wine down.
"Zhen Yanei, you are right!"
Thinking of his father's words about Zhao Hong, Wei Jinyu shook his head.
"I'm afraid you have underestimated the principal. You can already see his determination from the first day he went to court with a sword. Don't forget, on the day he ascended the throne, he carried a grenade on his body and fought all the way into the hall. The principal just Meng, if anyone dares to block the New Deal, I believe he will not compromise."
Wei Jinyu's analysis made everyone nod unconsciously, and Li Tang couldn't help but follow:
"His Majesty works vigorously and decisively. Anyone who blocks his way will probably be killed by him mercilessly like Shi Miyuan. The implementation of the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road will probably also result in heavy casualties."
"Li Tang, Wei Jinyu, you are right. Your Majesty is implementing the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road. There are soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan Zhiji Department and the Guards Horse Army Department at your disposal, so there is no need to worry. As for some confidential matters, there are These students from the Jinling Martial Arts Hall are enough to handle it."
Tian Yi echoed Li Tang and Wei Jinyu appreciatively.
The implementation of the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road will most likely be met with many obstacles, just like in history. And with Zhao Hong's character and determination, maybe there will be heads rolling in and blood flowing like rivers.
Li Tang glanced at the sky outside and said softly:
"The military regulations of the martial arts hall are strict. Let's eat early and have a good rest after we go back. We have classes and training tomorrow. Don't be too late."
Everyone nodded and began to concentrate on eating.
