Sitting next to Zhao Xingde, Li Ruoxue, Li Ruoxu and her brother bowed slightly unconsciously. Li Ruoxue looked at Zhao Xingde in surprise, then averted her eyes and lowered her eyes, wondering why a gentle and elegant Confucian scholar suddenly exuded such a charisma that made people's hearts flutter.

He was so awe-inspiring that he was even trembling with fear. However, Li Ruoxu was infected by Zhao Xingde's momentum. He gritted his teeth and looked at Chao Buzhi with his eyes wide open. It seemed that as long as the Song and Liao war started, he would join the army and ride horses to Youyan.

Chao Buzhi was also slightly surprised. As the saying goes, it's easy to go through hardships. With Zhao Xingde's temperament, I'm afraid his future in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty will be bumpy like his own.

Chao Buzhi sighed and muttered: "The art of war is to encircle an enemy ten times and attack it twice as many times. Although the Liao Kingdom was cruel and cruel, its military strength was extremely strong. The Liao army stationed in Youzhou alone numbered 100,000.

.The so-called 700,000 cavalrymen who conquered the country are just false threats, but Khitan men can fight as long as they are young. If they can all be recruited, there will always be 300,000 or 400,000 cavalrymen. In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty can also be levied.

The Jurchens, Five Kingdoms, Mongols and other barbarians joined the conquest. Although our dynasty claimed to have 800,000 forbidden troops, the court adhered to the policy of defending the interior and the exterior, and controlled the Khitan's two major camps in Hedong and Hebei, with a total strength of only 300,000.

Moreover, the cavalry is relatively small, and they are more than enough to protect themselves, but if they want to attack Youyan, they are not enough."

Zhao Xingde pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "According to what the teacher said, the Xia Kingdom has a strong military force and is restrained by the Jie people and Turks to the west of Congling. It is difficult to advance eastward in a large scale. Is it possible to join forces with Xia to attack Liao?" He said,

While gesturing with his hands, he said, "Like Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the troops were divided into two groups. I marched towards Hedong and Hebei to attack Yan with great fanfare, attracting the main soldiers of the Liao army to come to meet them. The Xia Kingdom crossed the grassland with fine cavalry and bypassed the states in front of and behind the mountains

, after attacking the side of Youyan, blockade Yuguan to prevent the elites of the North Academy from coming to help." Zhao Xingde is a scholar and has never experienced a battle, but he was influenced by the Tai students who like to plan military and national affairs, and now he talks eloquently,

He felt as if he had a plan in his chest, and finally said in a deep voice: "After the matter is completed, the Liao Kingdom will be divided equally. The north of the Great Wall will be rewarded to Xia, and I will take the south of the Great Wall."

"You are really a crazy person." Such a comment flashed through Li Ruoxue's mind. When she was young, she was famous for her talents in Bianliang. I don't know how many young talents boasted and admired themselves in front of her, but no one was as arrogant as Zhao Xingde. In her words, she actually said

He had a vague ambition to conquer the world, but he couldn't bear the word "crazy". But Li Ruoxu's eyes were eager to try.

Chao Buzhi looked at Zhao Xingde with a complicated expression, shook his head, and said: "The Xia Kingdom occupied Guanzhong, and all the emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne in Chang'an, the eastern capital, and competed with us for Zhengshuo of the Central Plains. The imperial court was concerned about the Xia Kingdom's intentions, far better than the Liao Kingdom.

How can we join forces with Xia to attack Liao?" He paused and saw that Zhao Xingde still had a look of anger on his face. He knew that he had just heard the miserable situation of the Han people in Liao, and he had the desire to eat in the imperial court. With his emotions surging, he not only broke the

After hearing the sage's lesson of keeping emotions and anger indistinct, he even forgot about the imperial court's concerns about the Xia Kingdom.

"Young man, you are so full of blood after all." Chao Buzhi felt quite sad, remembering that he was one of Bai Mudan's admirers back then. When he heard that the beauty was kidnapped by the Xia Kingdom, he ignored his friends' dissuasion and gave up his official position.

Going west out of Hangu Pass alone, I wanted to scold Liu Yi in front of him and make him feel ashamed and admit his mistake. The past few decades of ups and downs in the officialdom have worn away all the blood and sharpness of the original.

"It is absolutely impossible to form an alliance with the Xia Kingdom, but once a war breaks out with the Liao people, most of the 150,000 elite troops stationed in the Xijing camp east of Hangu Pass can be transferred eastward," Chao Buzhi added.

, "Xia's military system has only about 200,000 standing troops, and it has to take into account its old enemies on the east and west. Among them, the Anbei Army Division to guard against the Mobei barbarians and the Andong Army Division to guard our country only have more than 20,000 troops each. The entire Guanzhong

The standing force of the army is only 50,000. If the Xia Kingdom wants to advance eastward, and the battle to revive and destroy the country will inevitably be called upon to recruit retired sergeants from Guanzhong and regiment training troops, there will be a lot of movement, so that our court can detect and prepare early." Chao Buzhi was in Xia when he was young.

Having traveled abroad and studied for many years, he had a very good understanding of the situation in the Song and Xia countries. The Guanzhong area of ​​the Xia Kingdom had very frequent business trips with the Central Plains. Although Chao Buzhi only held a casual position in the Hanlin Academy, he also knew that the confrontation between the Song and Xia countries for hundreds of years had

The capital of the country arranged countless details in the opponent's country. If the Xia State only used its standing army, it could still attack by surprise, but if it mobilized retired sergeants and regiment training, it would be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Song State's details.

Zhao Xingde sighed, and based on the information revealed by his Taixue classmates' usual discussions, although the Song Dynasty had a large number of troops, it lacked elite soldiers who could attack over long distances and defeat the masses with a small number. The key to conquering Yan in the Northern Expedition was to capture the Yan State before the Northern Court of the Liao Dynasty went south.

To block Yuguan, only elite troops like the 25,000 partial divisions used by the Qin State to block the retreat of the 400,000 Zhao army in the Changping Battle could take on this task. He also wanted to continue to ask about the official and military systems of the Xia State, Chao Buzhi

There was a tired look on his face, obviously he was a little tired after giving lectures and answering questions. After the lecture, the three disciples stood up and respectfully thanked the teacher. After Chao Buzhi, Zhao Xingde and Li Gefei had dinner together with their families, Zhao Xingde just left and went back.

.

It was dusk. Although it was already early spring, the north wind was blowing in the afternoon. People were all coming and going in Bianliang Street in a hurry. However, Deng Su, the eunuch student, stood respectfully outside the door of a small house. The cold wind was mixed with it.

Covered with dust and sand, the white Confucian robe has almost turned into gray. The seemingly frail young scholar remained motionless, and even the respectful look on his face never relaxed. This was already the third time he visited Doctor Tai.

Qin Hui was so angry that even the gatekeeper of the Qin Mansion didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

The Imperial College Imperial College student came from a remote countryside and had no one to rely on in Bianliang. He wanted to see the Confucian master Wenzong.

You will not be lonely and helpless in the officialdom. This custom originated from the Tang Dynasty. The support and inheritance of the masters have a great influence on the future of the scholars. The most famous one is the famous Prime Minister Zhao Pu’s disciple Feng Zheng who became a Jinshi in the third year of Taiping Xingguo.

During the Ming Dynasty, Xue Kui, a protégé of Feng Zheng, became a Jinshi in the third year of Chunhua. He was an official of Ruizhong and became a political advisor. Wang Zeng, a disciple of Xue Kui, even won three consecutive titles in the Xianping period.

To the Prime Minister.

The master often spared no effort to support his disciples, and the disciples often served as mentors and fathers throughout their lives. For example, the prime minister Wang Qian who had been in charge of the political affairs hall for 20 years in the Wu Zong Dynasty had no children. After his death, his student Hou Wensu protected his remains and returned them to Beijing.

In the Wang family cemetery on the road, together with Zong Rong and other Wang family disciples, they buried their mentor. The disciples built a cottage next to the cemetery and observed mourning for three years. Wuling Academy, which is now one of the four major academies in the world, was founded by

These creations by the disciples of the Wang Clan became a legend all over the world at that time. After that, although the Wuling Academy and its family were not powerful in the center of the imperial court, they were connected with each other in the official circles of Jingdong and Jingdong.

Difficult to enter.

In modern times, the trend of worshiping disciples from Qianjie has become more and more popular. The most rare one is the hot prime minister Cai Jing. Scholars line up at the door every day to see him, and even to the point where Kaifeng government officials are needed to maintain order. There is a scholar who is the first to be the first to see him every day.

Finally, Cai Jing rushed to the door of Cai's house. One day, Cai Jing looked through the guest book and saw that this person was like this every day. He was very surprised and was moved by his sincerity. After asking him about it, he felt that his talent and learning were acceptable, so he recommended him.

People eventually achieved great success. Stories such as this inspired batches of scholars and officials who were keen on fame to embark on the road of fighting and fighting.

When the sky was twilight, Deng Su went to Qin Hui's gate to ask for an audience. He stayed here all day long. There was no water or rice in the middle, and he was also hungry and thirsty. However, the disciple who was supported by Prime Minister Zhao Guangshi seemed to be the leader of Qingliu in the court.

The cold wind blowing in front of Qin Hui's door for three days is nothing compared with the legendary Cheng Men Li Xue, who broke his arm to seek Dharma? Restraining his disgust at passers-by pointing fingers, Deng Su convinced himself that this was just his mentor.

It's just testing my sincerity.

Just as the sky was getting dim, Deng Su thought he had been waiting for another day and was about to return home. The door of the Qin Mansion suddenly opened a crack, and the frowning face of the originally cold door smiled like a chrysanthemum and waved at him.

beckoned.

The so-called dignity of a teacher, apprenticeship is also quite complicated, divided into many etiquettes such as "please see you", "thank you see you", "warm the book" and "say thank you". Fortunately, since Qin Hui is willing to accept Deng Su as his disciple,

Instead of embarrassing him too much, he talked to him in a gentle manner for more than an hour, during which he received not only academic and official guidance, but also appropriate praise. Deng Su felt like a spring breeze and secretly sighed, indeed, he is the best in the world.

Qingliu looks up to the master who is truly lucky to be able to enter the Qin sect.

Qin Hui stroked his three locks of long beard with his hands and looked at Deng Su who was respectfully holding the disciple ceremony. There was a hint of comparison in his answer just now. He was quite satisfied with this new disciple. Don't think he is just a disciple now.

Although he has a small PhD position, he has great ambitions, and the criteria for selecting his disciples are also very strict, and he must have talents that can help him in the future.

"Shou Yi, among your classmates at Taixue, there is a man named Zhao Xingde, who is a descendant of Zhao Tixin who served as a disciple during the Yuanyou period." Qin Hui asked seemingly casually.

Deng Su didn't know why Qin Hui asked about this, so he hurriedly and respectfully replied: "Exactly."

"As my master, I feel a bit like an old friend. If you have a chance, you can bring him to my house together." Qin Hui said slowly, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face. Deng Suwei bowed to accept the order, but secretly jealous in his heart.

Zhao Xingde had to stay in front of the Qin Mansion for three days before he could become a disciple. However, Zhao Xingde was able to easily get the opportunity to become a disciple of the Qin Mansion with the help of Yuan You. Little did he know that when Qin Huicai became an official in the past,

He had committed a crime against someone who could not afford to offend him, and was framed by his political opponents. Zhao Tixin, who was serving as a minister at the time, not only excused him in front of the officials, but also praised his character, which left an impression on the officials that he was not afraid of the powerful.

, a blessing in disguise. Qin Hui learned a lesson from this incident. From then on, he became well versed in the method of "shrinking, shrinking, relaxing, and changing with the times."

When he was learning to read, he secretly paid attention to it, and if there was an opportunity, he would help Zhao Xingde to repay the favor of Zhao Tixin.

Deng Su was very concerned about the first errand assigned by his teacher. When he returned to Taixue Zhai, he did not bother to rest. The first thing he did was to find Zhao Xingde and tactfully conveyed his teacher's acceptance to him. Zhao Xingde's face was filled with confusion.

He was moved, but his heart felt like he had been pricked by a scorpion. Although this world was very different from the history he knew, Qin Hui's reputation was indeed too great in history.

"Dr. Qin expresses his love. I will accompany my brother to the door to say thank you. However, I have already joined Mr. Chao Buzhi of the Taishi Bureau of the Hanlin Academy." Zhao Xingde said seriously.

"What?" Before Deng Su could say anything, Chen Dong jumped up and looked at Zhao Xingde as if he was heartbroken. According to the imperial system, although there was only a two-character difference between Hanlin Academy and Hanlin Academy, there was a world of difference.

The Hanlin Academy is where people with miscellaneous knowledge such as astronomy, medicine, calligraphy, chess, painting, etc. work. The status of officials is extremely low, and they are rejected by the scholar-bureaucrats who have good backgrounds. Officials of the Hanlin Academy can only wear green robes, and cannot wear red robes.

Purple. It is strictly forbidden to wear gold and silver fish bags that show the status of officials. According to the imperial court system, civil servants are promoted to one level in three years, and military officers are promoted to one level in five years. However, officials in the Taishi Bureau are moved every ten years, and it is stipulated that Hanlin Academy officials are not allowed to transfer to civil servants.

Chao Buzhi was sent to the Hanlin Academy, which was equivalent to entering the tomb of an official. Because of this, Chao Buzhi did not force Zhao Xingde and other three people to formally worship him.

Chao Buzhi's official position was from the seventh rank, while Qin Hui's official rank was from the eighth rank, and everyone knew that Dr. Qin was in the emperor's heart and was placed in the Taixue Imperial College, just to facilitate him to accumulate wings and cultivate popularity, or to make him

The meaning of leaving it to his son will rise to the top sooner or later in the future. Even the Prime Minister Cai Jing once said that Qin Hui's descendants are to be feared. There is almost a world of difference in career prospects between studying under Qin Hui and studying under Chao Buzhi.

But Zhao Xingde actually answered Chen Dong's question in the affirmative again. He benefited a lot from Chao Buzhi. People in this era valued the relationship between teachers and students very seriously, although Chao Buzhi did not force him and Li Ruoxu to admit this.

As a teacher and student, how can he be a person who follows the trend and makes people look down on him? After the death of Prime Minister Wang Qian, it happened that his political enemies were in power. His students would rather stay in a house to give lectures and refuse to become an official rather than change their family. They are praised by the world.

In contrast, after the famous Prime Minister Wang Anshi lost power, many disciples did not talk about the new learning, and even those in the old party scorned him.

When Chen Dong and others saw this, they had no choice but to give up. Li Rui was originally interested in miscellaneous studies. When he heard that Zhao Xingde had joined Chao Bu's family in the Taishi Bureau, he was overjoyed and secretly thought about finding an opportunity to ask Yuan Zhi to take him to the Imperial Academy.

The hospital has seen something. At this moment, nowhere to be seen, Zhu Sen and the other two walked into the studio with joyful faces, and started to invite everyone to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat and drink. These two people usually talk a lot and specialize in Qi-nourishing Kung Fu. Today

Everyone felt strange that he was so happy. Before asking, He Fang explained the reason first: "Mr. Guishan, Master Yang Shi has accepted the two of us as his disciples."

Everyone suddenly realized that Master Yang could be called a generation of Confucianism and a legendary figure. This man studied under Er Cheng in the past and was sincere. Once when he visited Cheng Yi, he saw the teacher dozing off in the hall.

, couldn't bear to be alarmed, so he stood under the porch and waited. It was snowing heavily. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside the door was already up to his knees. Here is the story of "Cheng Men Li Xue", which is talked about by the world. According to legend,

When Yang Shi returned to the south after studying, Cheng Yi once said with emotion: "My way is south!" This man not only studied Confucianism intensively, but also showed amazing character after becoming an official. When Wang Anshi came to power, he spared no effort to criticize the new law. After Cai Jing came to power, he also

He even fired bullets and accused Hua Shigang and others of tyrannical rule and abusing the people, which made Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other prominent officials in the court hate and fear him. It was just that his reputation was too great to get rid of. Zhao Xingde also happened to know that Yang Shi

He was the founder of Donglin Academy, which became very famous in later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, famous officials such as Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong rebuilt Donglin, claiming that what they inherited was authentic Confucianism.

At this time, Yang Shi had been relegated to the outside world for many years because of his disagreement with the important ministers of the New Party in power. At this time, he had just been recalled by the government to serve as the eighth-level secretary. The court officials and imperial students thought that this was the official's intention to use this veteran minister to balance the already existing ministers.

There is some domineering Prime Minister Cai Jing, and there is even a rumor that General Yang Shi will soon be appointed as the Fourth Grade Guozi Jijiu and take charge of the Imperial Academy.

"It's really gratifying. Of course we have to serve the wine. You two don't know it yet, but Deng Shouyi has also become a disciple of Dr. Qin." Zhu Sen said, "Where is Chen Dong going?" He and Zhang Bing were already Qingliu leader and supervisory censor Shao Wu.

He Fang, Zhu Sen's close disciple, became a disciple of the famous Yang Shi, and Deng Shouyi became a disciple of Dr. Qin. Although all the supervisors of the Neo-Confucian Society are now unknown, except for Zhao Xingde's teacher Chao Buzhi, who is slightly inferior
