Chapter 57: The Later Wednesday

Wei Renpu led a group of middle-aged and elderly people to sit in the high-rise building.

The upstairs of Fengle Building are not like restaurants in later generations. Even if they are separated by a screen, they are treated on the second floor, and they will not be stuffed into small houses. There are only three or five private rooms on the fourth floor, all of which are made of green plants, potted plants, strange rocks and other objects to separate their sights. Sitting in it, if you don’t look out the window, you might think you are in a high-end city garden.

When Sun Yue saw the order in which everyone sat down, he felt nervous, because Wei Renpu was not sitting first, two half-big old men were sitting higher than him, and his identity was about to emerge.

Sure enough, I heard Wei Renpu introduce him: "Boy, I will introduce you to two elders. This is Mr. Fan Zhi and Mr. Fan, and Mr. Wang Pu."

Sun Yue naturally gave a quick salute. Fan Zhi and Wang Pu obviously knew that he had followed Wei Renpu to study the scriptures without the name of a master and apprentice. After a little bit of knowledge, he praised him with praise.

Fan Zhi sighed: "It turns out that a good young man is a good young man. This year, the official family is going to take the exam for the children. I think you must have a place?"

Sun Yue said playfully: "Isn't your husbands asking questions for the Tongju exam? Otherwise, you would tell me what you plan to do and I will memorize it to take the exam?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but they didn't take it seriously.

Now, the power of the Song Dynasty has been fully held by Zhao Pu, especially after the Chinese New Year this year, the three of them have been promoted to office on the basis of the original basis. Now they are all first-rank officials. No matter which dynasty or generation, first-rank officials are either powerful ministers who can depose the emperor at any time, or idle positions that cannot be controlled by nothing. It is obvious that these three goods belong to the latter and are one of his favorite guests in Fengle Building. Sun Yue naturally wants to fool them into applying for a membership card.

Still Wei Renpu said with a stern face: "Boy, your father has made such a big deal and gave up his career in the imperial examinations. It is for you to study hard and make a name for yourself in the future. Don't be too addicted to this stinky thing and lose your money. Have you reviewed the six strategies I told you yesterday?"

Sun Yue looked bitter and said repeatedly: "I reviewed it. I went home and watched it twice before I fell asleep."

Wei Renpu said unhappily: "I have only read it twice, but it is obvious that I have not worked hard. Don't think that it is not difficult for children to study, and don't think that the knowledge that the imperial examination is not taken can be abandoned. I have been an official for thirty years and have seen many amazing talents. But those who can truly become great are those who are willing to be down-to-earth and study hard. Go, you don't need to say hello to go back and copy the Six Strategies ten times and send them to my mansion tomorrow."

When Sun Yue heard this, his face turned bitter. It seemed that he would fight again tonight. He hurriedly bowed to the big guys and said goodbye to all of them. If he continued to chat for a while, he might be able to copy what he wanted.

Since Wei Renpu was scolded by him that day, he has been completely cheered up. The disease that could not be cured before is almost cured now. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin can give him a good face. After all, he is only in his early fifties this year, and it is far from when he is really old. As long as he doesn't want to die, the King of Youdu can't take him back for a while.

But Sun Yue was trained by him, especially after he was promoted to Shangshu Youpushe, the position of power prime minister in the Tang Dynasty has now completely become a name, giving him time to train Sun Yue. Sun Yue even thought that he was just idle and had nothing to do to clean up his own fun. After inspecting the course, he stopped teaching the Six Classics. After teaching for two days, Gongyang stopped teaching even the Nine Classics. Anyway, he did not teach any of the imperial examinations. He had to let him learn the Six Strategies and Sushu, as well as the Three Histories, and even wanted him to learn the formation and Yin Fu.

Is this what I should learn?

After Sun Yueren left, Fan Zhicai frowned and said, "Brother Daoji, this child seems to be only eight years old this year. Are you too strict with him? Besides, you asked him to learn the Six Strategies... Isn't it a bit too early? After all, the child is about to take action now."

Wei Renpu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This child is not a child prodigy at all, he is simply a monster. Not to mention Tong Ju, even if he is taking the Jinshi exam now, he will be able to pass the imperial examination. It is a waste to let this child learn the imperial examinations in just a few years. In addition, this child has a wealthy family and is naturally indulging in nature to travel around, which will be delayed by this good seedling. Besides, you know that I am a minor official, and if you really want to discuss the sutras, my level is just that. I dare not talk about the nine sutras, but I have worked in the Privy Council for more than 20 years. I still ask myself that there is no one who can match the military strategy."

Fan Zhi said in disbelief: "As such a young child, do you say he can pass the Jinshi exam now? Then the books we have read for so many years have all been in the dog's belly?"

Wang Pu also shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either. Brother Daoji, I can understand you for praising your disciple. I believe it even if I say he is a prodigy. But if you can't teach him the Nine Sutras, isn't this nonsense? You must know that my son is twenty years old this year and is still learning Zhou Yi and Mao Shi. Could it be that the one I gave birth to was a stick?"

Wei Renpu smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you two come to my house to drink tomorrow. I will call him to take the exam and you will be able to compete. Brother Qiwu, you were a Jinshi and from the Hanlin Academy. He compiled the history of the Five Dynasties. If you want to talk about classics and history, there should be no one in the world who can compare with you. There is also Brother Wensu. Xiande and Zhoulu. No one can compare to your poetry and literary talent. I really can't teach this kid alone. If you have free time, would you be willing to teach me together? lest you mislead your children."

Fan Zhi said in surprise: "Good guy, learn military tactics from you, learn classics and history from Brother Qiwu, and learn criminal laws from me? The prince doesn't have such treatment either! What kind of apprentice are you teaching? Oh no, you two don't have the title of master and apprentice yet! Why is that?"

"It's rare to be a good and beautiful jade. It's true but fake. I'll know it when I try it in my house tomorrow. If I don't exaggerate..."

Wang Pu slapped the table and said, "If you don't exaggerate, we will accompany you for a while. Anyway, everything in the court will have nothing to do with us in the future, and there is still time."

Fan Zhi laughed and scolded: "He talks nonsense, can you really believe it? Anyway, I definitely don't believe that there will be such a monster in this world. He is not a Jinshi, so how can you tell what kind of knowledge is not knowledgeable? Hahaha, drink and drink."

Wei Renpu was not from a Jinshi, and he had suffered so much cowardly in his life. When he heard Fan Zhi reveal his scars, he said furiously: "You old man, how dare you underestimate me? Come on, come on, I won't compete with you now. Let's divide the difference at the table. Let's see if I don't drink you to death, I'll do it!"

…………

At this time, Sun Yue didn't know that his teacher had sold him in a daze. He saw that the imperial examination in the early Song Dynasty was so simple, it was far from the difficulty of imagination, and he did have a little slackness. At this time, he was pulling Zhao Guangmei around to visit their new business. Although there was no change in Fengle Building, he and Sun Chunming were worried about the small details, and there were many modern elements, showing off.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi also arrived in person. Sun Chunming hurriedly went down to accompany him for a few drinks. At this time, he was completely confused and kept thanking him.

Zhao Guangyi said: "No need to say anything thanks. You and my brother, don't say these polite words, but I have something to do. I'm in a dilemma. I wonder if you can solve it for me?"

Sun Chunming said with his tongue wide, "The Second King said that, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

"After the New Year, I will be granted a title of Yuhou, the former capital of the Palace, to be responsible for the deployment of the capital in the main city. Brother, you know me. I have never fought a war. Those soldiers may not necessarily obey me. I just wonder if there is any way to give them kindness."

"What do the two kings have?"

"Now the imperial guards are being eliminated and weak, and many soldiers are expelled from the army. What can you do if you kill talents leave the army? That is, the Hegong, there is a family to support. The little money given by the imperial court will not be managed for a few years. I thought, don't you and Lao Fang have a decoration team and a brick kiln? I think they always lack personnel. Do you think this is OK? Try to arrange for them to work on your way. It's much better than the Hegong, right? Don't worry, there won't be too many people. The people in my hands are all in the Great Inner Squad, and I can't get many. Isn't this just buying the morale of the army? Do you think it's not?"

Sun Chunming was really drunk too much. He laughed and patted his chest and said, "What do I think is it? It turns out that the re-employed soldiers are re-employed. Don't worry, let alone eliminated them, even if you retreat from your hands in the future, I will send them all here. The second king, I'm not talking big with you, don't have to do more. Give me half a year, let alone a re-employed soldier. I'll arrange all the military families for you clearly. At that time, your soldiers and family members have work to do, and the wages are higher than military pay. I envy those who don't follow you, how about it!"
