.The 8th month of the lunar calendar is the autumn harvest season. Outside the city of Hangzhou, the rice fields that had not been touched by the war had turned golden. The farmers, soldiers, and refugees were busy during the day. Even at night, the warm scene outside the city was not peaceful. Groups of soldiers camped among the fields, guarding and patrolling.
These rice fields to be harvested have already been divided up by many troops during the siege of the city. It is said that the grain and rice have become the common property of the rebels, but in fact, they are naturally distributed according to their respective strengths, as long as the small court currently belonging to Fang La occupies The big head, and the rest of the people are naturally divided according to their own fists. As for some of the fields that should still belong to some good local people in Hangzhou, by this time, in fact, they have already belonged to another.
If it is just for harvesting, the more manpower arranged, the better, but since it is to divide up the benefits, the more participants are not necessarily the better. In the daytime, these people inevitably fight and friction. At night, there are often cases where other troops or civilians steal the harvest overnight. Before this time, torches spread in the water and on the ridges, shouting to kill the sky. The situation, colorful dotted the circles on the periphery of Hangzhou city, stayed up all night.
Outside the city, there is order and distribution of interests outside the city, and everyone in the city has their own affairs. The saintly rank is imminent, and the streets and alleys in the city are already lively. At this time, the most bloody hunluàn situation has ended, and the new order has gradually taken shape. As long as it is related, they are also busy for their own interests. .
Some shops have opened mén, and people from the rivers and lakes who used to walk in the streets or block the road have held a hero meeting. In restaurants and teahouses, people with different identities and temperaments can often be seen gathering together, each measuring the scene of boasting. . Some people with connections and skills have obtained official and semi-official positions under the command of each general. Scholars and scholars who have a little knowledge of writing and have been underappreciated began to tentatively submit famous posts, seeking protection or seeking some small and large errands.
There are always many people, and there are many people who are not optimistic about Fang La's future. Naturally, there are also people who have the ambition to become a lord and are willing to take risks. This is what society is like, as long as there is a jiāo flow, there will be a certain trend. A framework will always come together naturally. The small society that belonged to Fang La had his framework and prototype in this way. In and out of the city at this time. At first glance, it seems that there is a feeling of enthusiasm.
Wenlie Academy in these few days. Still relatively calm. It was now in the morning, and the late autumn sunlight fell from the gaps in the trees. Interspersed with lazy cicadas. In the academy, it is time to teach. Ning Yi closed the "Historical Records" in his hand, packed it into the desk, and prepared to leave.
At this time, the academy was basically still in a situation of fewer students and more teachers. Although it was divided into four classes, A, B, C, and D, there were less than 100 students in total, and there were 30 or 40 teachers in name. Even if some of them belong to the privileged class and don't need to come here at all, the number of teachers actually exceeds the standard. Ning Yi taught Shiji for half an hour in class C every morning, and then went to the mountain chief to get a rice ration. Go back to accompany Xiaochan.
Today, the surname of the mountain leader of Wenlie Academy is Feng, and he is called Feng Yongli. The name is rather cheesy, but he is a good person. It is said that he also had the experience of reading when he was a child, but his family was poor and did not participate in the imperial examination. His knowledge is naturally not deep, but Fang La has been in the army since the beginning of the army, so he is quite qualified.
Fang La's army also had several powerful civil servants. Zu Shiyuan was one, and there was also Lou Minzhong. Feng Yongli copied some announcements and letters under Lou Minzhong at that time, and when he conquered Hangzhou, he became the leader of the academy. At this time, the Feng family was naturally searching for profit outside, but at least in the academy, he did treat the scribes quite favorably. Due to his maintenance, the interior of the academy has been relatively peaceful recently.
At this time, a total of seven people gathered in the teaching lounge, most of whom were teachers who had left the class. Some were drinking tea and studying classics, while others were talking softly. Several people belonged to the people who took shelter of the academy after the fall of Hangzhou, and they had a certain mentality of being connected with each other. At this time, a few people were talking about the war in Jiaxing.
"I heard that the war in the north was at a stalemate. The imperial court sent General Tong Guantong to lead his troops to the south, and Fang Qifo surrounded Jiaxing.
"I heard that Tong Shumi used his troops like a god. He originally thought he would lead his troops north to attack Liaoning. This time... Cough, this time the Shenggong was so powerful that he was attracted to him. I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight."
"It's hard to say, now there are continuous uprisings all over the north and south. Waterbore in Liangshan, Songjiang, Huaixi Wangqing, Hebei Tianhu are already quite troublesome, especially... Shenggong went to Hangzhou this time. Recently, there have been continuous uprisings in the vicinity. Even though Tong Guan is heading south, this side… is still gaining momentum.”
"Storing grain widely, building high walls, and slowing down the title of king... This time I'm in a hurry to become emperor, so I'll bring Tong Guan here..."
"Brother Tian's words are wrong. Tong Guan was brought here because of Hangzhou. As long as you go to Hangzhou, the court will stare at you if you don't claim to be an emperor. That's why, for Shenggong, the matter of proclaiming an emperor is very important. It must be done, he... We Shenggong can only rectify our status so that we can attract more help to seek refuge, and in this way, we will have a better chance of winning against Tong Guan."
The voices of several people were a little low, but they were not too shy, because the atmosphere has been relatively relaxed since these days. Although Ning Yi had not had much contact with these people in the past few days, everyone knew that he also came here after the fall. What everyone is talking about now, on the one hand, is also a matter of personal interests. On the other hand, scholars always have some hobbies to point out the country. At this time, hiding in a corner and discussing, I can feel that I am seeing the direction clearly in this luàn world. man of. When Ning Yi packed up his things and was about to leave, one of them approached him.
"Liheng is leaving?"
"Well, Mr. Liu."
"No need to be more polite. Since everyone is here now, they are colleagues. If Liheng is flawed, he might as well stay and chat with everyone. Things are difficult, no matter what, there is tea here."
"There are people waiting at home, so it's not good to stay longer. If you are free in the future, you should ask your seniors for help and accuse you."
"It's okay, it's okay..."
The middle-aged man who wanted to keep Ning Yi was named Liu Xiyang, who was originally a great scholar in Hangzhou. Now in this academy, he and another great scholar named Wang Zhizhen are the most famous in terms of knowledge, but Wang Zhizhen is relatively rigid, while Liu Xiyang is Know more about flexibility. Originally, these local Confucian scholars in Hangzhou were not well received. If the Confucian scholars who came with Fang La's army met, they would not dare to speak at random, but Liu Xiyang was the only one who was quite powerful.
among his students. There was a son of Liu Zan, one of the eight hussars under Fang La's command at this time. Of course, this student didn't like the teacher very much. But Liu Zan wanted his son to become a scholar. Liu Zan came here a few days ago. Liu Xiyang casually mentioned that the child was quite talented in understanding the Four Books, and Liu Zan went to inquire about Liu Xiyang's name. Knowing that he is a truly high-level Confucian. It's the main family again, so I quickly let the child think of him as an uncle. In this lounge today, he was the first to discuss the situation in the north, otherwise others would not dare to talk to him.
After saying this, Ning Yi said goodbye, and at this time, a Confucian scholar in his thirties who was neatly dressed and valuable walked in from outside the mén. Yin glanced over with a sullen face. The voices talking about the battle situation in the lounge stopped when the man came in. The other party's eyes stayed on Ning Yi for a moment, and then asked, "Who is Ning Liheng?"
Ning Yi glanced at him, then cupped his hands and said, "It's next."
"It's Qu Weiqing." The person cupped his hands and raised his chin. This person's name Ning Yi actually knew before. He was one of the literati who entered the city with Fang La's army. He was originally a staff officer under Wen Kerang's account. He came here about once every few days. Because of his lack of literary talent, he looked down on the Hangzhou literati who took shelter here, and sometimes asked someone to talk and sneer. A few days ago, Liu Xiyang accepted Liu Zan's son as his nephew. When Qu Weiqing came, the two had friction, and Liu Xiyang became the leader of the Hangzhou faction in the academy.
Everyone thought that he was going to come in to find Liu Xiyang's trouble, but they didn't expect that it was Ning Yi, and they didn't know the situation for a while. Just listening to Qu Weiqing said, "You teach Shi Ji? Why don't you ask me to memorize it, but use slang nonsense in every class? Shi Ji opens the chapter of the Five Emperors, how majestic and majestic, you are like a storyteller, without any respect, and you have no shame in your heart. Is it?"
Ning Yi blinked and frowned slightly.
"The words of the sage are so profound, and the meaning is only revealed when you read them a thousand times. My generation is a teacher, and I should guide students to study and understand, instead of directly interpreting the interpretation in superficial words. Take the children's playful mind for you, make that classroom like a teahouse storyteller. Others allow you, I am entrusted by General Wen, but I will not turn a blind eye, let me ask you: the cultivator nine One, the official is wealthy, the city is ridiculed but not levied, Zeliang has no prohibition, and sinners are not widowed... Where does this phrase come from and what does it mean?"
Ning Yi rubbed his forehead: "I don't know."
Hearing Ning Yi's succinct answer, Qu Weiqing was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that at least the other party could answer this question, but whether he could answer it or not, he was ready to speak. After some hesitation, Wei Wei asked a few more questions, and then talked about how to teach and how to be a teacher. After talking like this, he said: "Now I am flourishing in Yongle, and I am short of talents. You are young, if you are humble and willing to learn, you may be able to make great achievements. I am not a mountain leader, and I don't want to punish you, but If you dare to teach like this again, I will not tolerate you, I will let you go out of the academy, and you can do it yourself."
He spoke for a long time, but Ning Yi's expression was flat and did not refute. When he finished speaking, he humbly handed over his farewell, and then left like that. Qu Weiqing was stunned for a while, looked at the others in the room, and then turned to leave. After he left, the few people here began to whisper again, and this time it was naturally aimed at Ning Yi.
In the past, when Qu Weiqing caught people and ridiculed him, he would not go so far. But these scribes listened to it, and although they did not refute, they still showed their disapproval on their faces. People are fighting for a breath, even if they hold it, they have to have a mouthful, but today Ning Yi didn't know anything, and he said it so directly, everyone felt that such a literati was really losing face. In fact, some people have also felt the way Ning Yi taught in the past few days.
"I heard that some stories are told in the classroom, and those kids like it..."
"Deliberately to please these students, what is the majesty of the teacher..."
"Mencius doesn't know the words in the middle..."
"Fortunately, Brother Liu also invited him to chat, so he came here. I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything insightful..."
"Hey, they're all from Hangzhou. Now, in such an environment, they're proud to unite."
Liu Xiyang said so, not long after other teachers finished class, more people knew what happened just now, talking about Ning Yi, how disdainful. In fact, no one knows the details of this young man. Ning Yi was like air in the academy these days, and everyone paid little attention to him. Besides, there is no máo in the mouth. Learning is naturally not good either. This time it was confirmed. At this time, someone said suspiciously, "Listen to what you said. It's clearly that Ning Liheng is playing tricks on him. How can you think that he doesn't understand the four books..."
This person was the only person who greeted Ning Yi a few days ago. His name was Yan Deming. He was quite knowledgeable in Hangzhou. When he said this, Liu Xiyang asked, "Why did Deming say this?"
Na Yan Deming said: "Before the Hangzhou earthquake, Ning Liheng wrote a poem at the Liqiu Poetry Conference, which shocked all four. It was only after many miscellaneous incidents that the matter was not reported. The three Wu capitals, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times... '" Yan Deming took the pen and paper and wrote the "Wang Hai cháo" line by line, Liu Xiyang and others read it, and they were a little stunned. How could the words come from what you said? This Ning Yi was originally the number one talent in Jiangning, so how could he not understand the Four Books and Five Classics? He was afraid that he didn't want to cause trouble, and he was extremely disdainful of Qu Weiqing, so he did it on purpose. ."
When he said this, everyone was skeptical, and then suddenly realized. Of course, at this time, there may be some new understanding of Ning Yi, but it is not too exaggerated. Hangzhou has already fallen, and the knowledge here is not too surprising after all. No matter whether it is the first talent in Jiangning or the first talent in Hangzhou, in short, they are trapped here like ordinary people, taking shelter in the academy. Thinking of Ning Yi's low-keyness these days, he probably encountered a lot of depressing things, just like everyone else. For a while, everyone in the academy knew him.
It wasn't until two or three days later, a series of events that let everyone realize that Ning Yi's situation at this time was very different from what they imagined...
The words are divided into two parts. As Qu Weiqing, the reason why he suddenly finds trouble with Ning Yi is not because of high-sounding reasons.
As the literati who entered the city with Fang La's Yi army, some were like him, and they didn't take errands in the academy seriously, and some preferred to get close to the little family members of these generals. For example, Guo Peiying, whom he knew, was originally an aide. After he was named in the academy, he devoted himself to teaching. This Guo Peiying paid attention to the longer-term interests. They are relatives of the royal family, and it is indeed a beautiful job to be their teacher now.
Qu Weiqing also knew, but rather than becoming a teacher of a royal family, he preferred to become a royal family directly. Now that the power of the court has not yet been finalized, he is operating under Wen Kerang's command, and he is quite promising, and he may not be able to have a direct career in the future.
But of course, there is no need to put ji eggs in one basket, so occasionally he will come to the academy and satirize those great scholars as the joy of life. He didn't feel much about these great Confucians. Having knowledge does not mean that you can tame these children who originally came from the countryside and even saw blood. The way of training students in the past is useless here, because some of these students even have ten. At four or five years old, they are tall and tall, and they have even killed people with their own hands. They have not yet grown into real playboys. They are asked to study at home and say that they are promising. They dare not not come, but they have no respect for teachers.
The more knowledgeable the Confucian, the less able to adapt to these. Tiandijun's parents and teachers have said it for so long, and they themselves believe it, and they will never flatter the students. Relatively speaking, people like Guo Peiying, even if their knowledge is not so deep, at least they will not put on airs when teaching students, and it is easier to gain the favor of students. The reason why he suddenly found Ning Yi today is because Guo Peiying suddenly heard some words among the students, and then talked to Qu Weiqing.
Those remarks were basically about the new "Mr. Ning", but within a few days, some people said that his lectures were interesting and fascinating, much more interesting than all the gentlemen in the academy. The two called the students to inquire carefully, only to realize that the young Mr. Ning was simply unscrupulous, and it sounded like he won the favor of the students with the attitude of a storyteller.
Of course, if he went to listen to it in person, he might have known that Ning Yi's lectures were not the same thing. He had been a teacher in Jiangning for so long, and although he taught the lectures in a wild way, he was actually still betting on the topic. Of course, at this time, for Qu Weiqing and others, they naturally don't need to pay too much attention to a young man. Since they have an impression, they should just assume that.
Everyone said that there is no grievance or hatred, but suddenly such a person appeared. Everyone as a teacher was so different in "pleasure", it always felt like someone reached out and took eggs in their baskets. Guo Peiying was a more particular person, so Qu Weiqing went over to scold him directly. On the second day, Xingzhi asked the mountain chief, and the result was interesting, that Ning Liheng's identity turned out to be a prisoner.
Regarding this matter, the mountain chief didn't know much about it, and Feng Yongli couldn't inquire about some things, but he knew that Ning Yi lived behind the academy and even had a servant girl following him. Both of them were under guard. Don't know how it will turn out. But since this was the case, Qu Weiqing was even more open. This morning, he took Guo Peiying and went to listen to Ning Yi's class. Because he felt that since he was a prisoner, Ning Yi's attitude yesterday was too rude to him. If he doesn't change today, he will make him look good.
The two went to the classroom and listened to a few words. In the living room, Ning Liheng was still telling a story. The story had come to an end. After a slight pause, Qu Weiqing wanted to rush in. At this time, it was probably a certain student in the living room who stood up to ask questions, with an angry voice.
"Hey, Mr. Ning, I went back and asked my father yesterday, and he said that you helped the officers and soldiers beat thousands of us in Huzhou. Is there such a thing?"
Both Qu Weiqing and Guo Peiying were stunned. The classroom was also slightly quiet, and then someone shouted, "You are a bad guy!?"
Then another child said: "I also asked, and said Mr. Ning's name, the uncle said that Mr. Ning led a team of remnants in Huzhou to defeat the five troops led by An Xifu, and it was only Mr. General Sheo Lu, General Yao Yiyao and General Xue Dounan were three teams. General Yao and General Xue were both killed by the husband. General Yao always opposed the uncle, and the uncle said that he died well. The uncle also said that the husband knew martial arts and was very powerful. , Jianghu people call it a bloody murderer. Sir, do you dare to fight with Qi Dazhuang... He always says that he is the number one in the world and bullies us... "
Qu Weiqing was in front of him at this time, and he was almost rushing in, and when he heard the ferocious nickname of "Blood-handed Man Tu", he shrank back slightly... (.) Talent Pavilion
