Chapter 1318

After being reprimanded head-on and face-to-face, the group of young people were so frightened that they all shivered like the crakes in late autumn, and after not daring to fart again, Mr. Wang left the classroom with a dark face and a lesson plan.

"It's so scary, just now I thought Xuezheng was going to beat us..." After Cao Min wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, he couldn't help but push his twin brother Cao Ye who was only born a quarter of an hour earlier than himself.

"I said, brother, what are you doing? Don't you know who Xuezheng is? If you offend him, we won't get any good results."

Seeing the resentful gazes around him, Cao Ye shrank his neck resignedly, where he still had the slightest courage just now. "Didn't I just want to remind Xuezheng? Who knew it would happen..."

"My lord, drink some tea and calm down. Why are you angry with those little bastards?" Wu Qilang also waited on the official Wang who was still angry.

"My official has already presented to the court as early as last year, hoping that the court will change the martial arts, and the military strategy should be more important than the martial strategy, but until now, it has not been passed. It is really hateful and annoying..." Senior Officer Wang People get angry and the consequences are severe.

Hearing Wang Daguan's complaints, a group of guards really didn't know how to persuade Wang Daguan except for rolling their eyes. After all, they were not court officials and had no right to speak.

At this time, Xu Zhao, who had received the news, rushed over, and he was helpless when he heard the complaints from Daguan Wang. "Actually, the lower officials also feel that today's generals should focus on military strategy, but the lower officials are soft-spoken..."

"As for you, my lord, you have many enemies in the court. It is indeed difficult for your ideas to be passed in the court council. After all, this matter involves the imperial examination, and sometimes it is difficult for your majesty to act arbitrarily..."

Xu Zhao's reassurance made Wang Daguan's mood not improve, but even more depressed. "Tell me, if Mr. Wang goes to play together with those nobles, can you..."

After all, Xu Zhao can be regarded as a person with both civil and military skills, he pondered for a moment and then smiled wryly. "In that case, it may make people feel that you are selfish, and wantonly change the rules in order to prevent you from failing to fulfill your promise."

"That's true, but how can we get those bastards to agree to change the model of martial arts..." Wang Yang sighed and drained the herbal tea in his cup in one gulp. coercion.

#####
"Nephew, the old man and Mr. Zhang understand your painstaking efforts, but you also have to know that you don't have enough right to speak, and you have made a promise before. It is impossible to change at this moment. .”

Hearing Wang Yang's visit to complain about martial arts, Su Dongpo was quite tempted, but after communicating with Zhang Wei, who was also a guest in Su's residence, he had to admit that there was no way to change it now.

"If I had known this, then I would not have taught martial arts at Taixue. As a result, I ended up harming myself." Wang Daguan's expression was full of resentment.

Zhang Yu nodded and smiled deeply. "No way, it's not so easy to change. What's more, those self-righteous new parties will not follow you to make trouble. What they care about is the imperial examinations of the scholars, not the military examinations."

"It's reasonable to say that if you want to change, one, either most of the courtiers agree and approve it, or there is an opportunity for people to make changes..."

"Opportunity?" Wang Yang was slightly stunned, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"What are you thinking about? You kid, you have a lot of bad ideas, but the so-called opportunity can't just appear in a flash of your inspiration." Su Dongpo couldn't help laughing when he saw Wang Yang's appearance.

Although he also wanted to help Wang Yang, things were not so easy to handle.With the Shu Party among the old parties, even with the addition of those honorable military officials, the weight in the court is far from enough.

What's more, the reform of the imperial examinations is definitely related to the country. Even the military examinations that officials don't pay much attention to on weekdays will not be according to Wang Yang's wishes. After all, this matter is related to them. The decision-making power of important ministers in the court.

It's up to you to make trouble, do you still want to change the imperial examination next time?The old party is unwilling, and the new party is also unwilling to see a non-new party person leading the reform of the Song Dynasty, so what will they do with the new party that claims to be forging ahead?

"Without an opportunity, can't Wang create it himself?" Wang Yang pouted, very unconvinced.But these words are at best a mouthful, because he really can't think of what the opportunity is...

"Haha, young people, you should forge ahead. It's not bad. This reminds Zhang of Su Xianggong's good friend back then, my cousin Zhang Dun..." Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing, and turned to Su Dongpo toasted a glass of wine and said.

Seeing Wang Yang's suspicious gaze, Zhang Wei smiled. "Wang Wushan, you may not know that Zhang Dun won the Jinshi for the first time in the imperial examination, but because his rank was lower than my nephew Zhang Heng, he refused to accept the imperial edict. Two years later, he took the imperial examination again. This time, he ranked first. Yijia No.5, Kaifeng Mansion No.1..."

"Speaking of the interesting things about the imperial examination, Su has heard a lot. As you know, in the pre-Tang Dynasty, there was a number one scholar who was both civil and military."

"The number one scholar with both civil and military skills, what's the point?" Daguan Wang said with a look of disdain, isn't this high official the kind of champion with both civil and military skills?
"...Don't put on airs in front of me." Su Dongpo glared at this guy angrily, and then said viciously. "This is a genius who has won the first prize in literature and the first prize in martial arts. Are you?"

Wang Yang's eyes widened: "Really or not? I said, uncle, are you trying to trick your nephew?"

"Bullshit, can the old man do it?"

Zhang Yu spoke slowly from the side. "This genius, the old man has also heard a little bit. It seems to be a figure from the Tang Muzong period in the pre-Tang period..."

"Really?" Wang Yang was really refreshed now.Good gossip, I have never heard of it. "I also ask you two to explain to my little nephew..."

"That's right. This person's surname is Zheng Mingguan, and he was a person from the former Tang Dynasty. He was good at calligraphy. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he wrote the famous "Jiting Ji" in seal script. Su remembers where he saw it... …”

"He took part in the imperial examination in the third year of Changqing (823 A.D.) of Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty. The examiner at that time was Wang Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But after that, for some unknown reason, in the second year of Taihe (828 A.D.) of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, he actually ran to take part in the martial arts examination, and won the number one scholar in one fell swoop, and became an official of the household department doctor. "

"This is the only one in the world who has won both literature and martial arts since there was an imperial examination in the former Sui Dynasty..."

"...Yes, there is no one before, and no one after."

"That's right, only when he is as strong as the former Tang Dynasty can he have such talents..."
