Looking at his elder brother who has always cared for him, Wanyan Chuo couldn't bear to lie to him anymore, after thinking about it, he decided to go all out, looked at Wanyan Xu firmly, and said word by word: "Hulu, in our When I was just born, there was a rumor in Zhongdu that I was not born to King Rong, do you know that?"

Wanyan Xu's face changed instantly, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his tone was sinister and chilly: "What nonsense are you talking about, can you say such nonsense?"

"Do you know or not?" Wanyan Chuo was persistent, he and Wanyan Xu grew up together, and they were very familiar with each other.Looking at Wanyan Xu's reaction just now, it doesn't seem like he didn't know it, but it's actually quite normal. Wanyan Hongxi married a Han woman as his concubine. The Yan family is not really vegetarian, so how could they allow things to confuse the bloodline of the clan, it can be seen that when Lou Xinyue married into the palace, someone investigated her background, so what about her own identity?Did the Wanyan clan really accept him as one of their own?

Wanyan Xu was startled, and then he couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed, Man is still young, it is impossible to know the kindness and resentment between these previous generations, who is it who ran up to him with a big mouth and talked nonsense?It seems that we should find a chance to talk to Uncle Liu Wang. He is grown up and has his own ideas. He can no longer be fooled by him like a child. The maids and servants who serve him should also check thoroughly. Bring them all to Mandu, what to do if you fail to teach the children?Thinking of this, Wanyan Xu put on a serious look on purpose, and reprimanded him: "Mandu, what are you thinking about? You are the son of King Dajin Guorong, and your blood is thicker than water, so how could you be fake? If you want to say more, be careful not to let Uncle Liu Wang hear your sadness!"

"Wanyan Xu, do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid?" Wanyan Chuo, who was five or six years old, was serious.

Wanyan Chuo had never called Wanyan Xu by his name so indifferently before. Wanyan Xu knew this younger brother whom he almost single-handedly brought up very well. Feeling prevaricated, he straightened his face and said, "Mandu, have you heard something?"

"Don't you deny it?" Wanyan Chuo realized suddenly, since Wanyan Xu knew it, whether it meant that his background was not a secret among the high-ranking people, it was hard for him to worry about it for so long, it was really mediocre.

"Deny what?" Wanyan Xu said with a smile: "Mandu, you are the son of Prince Rong of my Great Jin Kingdom, no matter what, you can't fake it at all!"

"My mother gave birth to me prematurely at seven months. In Prince Rong's mansion alone, there are always gossips!" While talking, Wanyan Chuo suddenly became angry. Now, it doesn't matter whether you are the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, the key is what do these gossips mean?With ulterior motives, want to take advantage of the troubled waters?Or simply want to provoke the father-son relationship between him and Wanyan Hongxi?

"Mandu, what are you thinking about! It's so easy to confuse the blood of the clan. Whether it's the sixth princess or you, they are all included in the genealogy of our Wanyan clan. How can you make a fake? It's those who have ulterior motives." People from the Central Plains martial arts are telling stories and sowing dissension. If you believe it, you will really hurt your loved ones, and your enemies will be quick!"

"As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and gossip spreads to many people, and it will inevitably sway people's hearts!" This is what Wan Yanchuo is worried about. He will lead troops to fight in the future. If people use this as an excuse to fall into the crowd Actually, it's troublesome.

Wan Yanxu thought for a while, and said seriously: "Mandu, you don't need to worry about this matter, I will take care of it for you!"

"Thank you, thank you..." Wanyan Chuo twitched and wanted to thank him sincerely, but Wanyan Xu stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Brothers like you and me, blood is thicker than water, so there's no need to say such outrageous things." Since the Jurchens entered the customs, the descendants of Wanyan's clan have withered, and there are not many promising ones left. Wanyan Xu's generous help, not only Just because of the friendship he grew up with Wanyan Chuo, he even wants to win over this younger brother and work for him in the future.

"Mandu, don't listen to gossip, and don't question others' kindness to you casually." Wan Yanxu explained seriously, wanting to untie Wan Yanchuo's knot in his heart: "Let outsiders pass on what they say, but let them pass it on. Remember, those who talk about right and wrong are right and wrong people, since you are upright, you should not worry about whether the shadow under your feet is crooked, right and wrong, the world has its own judgment."

Wanyan Chuomo.

What does this mean?Can you feel that you have been entangled for a long time, and you are all mediocrity?

Wan Yanxu sighed, feeling very emotional: "This is so good, why are you talking about it all of a sudden? It's really..."

"Hulu, my mother talked to me last night. She wanted me to practice martial arts. I didn't want to. My mother was very sad. She hoped that I would remember that I still have half of the Song people's blood in me. , to do something that harms the country of Song!"

"Shouldn't the citizens of the Song Dynasty serve the Kingdom of Jin? This is what the Sixth Princess wanted to do!" Wanyan Xu chuckled, rubbed Wan Yanchuo's hair, and said, "People from the Kingdom of Song are officials in our Kingdom of Jin. Is there still less? Ever since Emperor Sejong started the imperial examinations, the people of Jin and Song have all been treated equally, and they have not stuck to one pattern of conferring talents, and those who are capable will do it. Song people are always so self-important, thinking that our Dajin country is not as good as them in Song Dynasty. China, as everyone knows, blue is better than blue. My country of Jin has been established for more than a hundred years. The ritual and music system, laws and cultural relics are not different from China. Take the emperor's grandfather as an example. Poems, songs, calligraphy and painting are comparable The emperor of the Song Dynasty is not inferior, and the self-righteousness of the Song people who think they are superior to others should have been forgotten long ago."

Wan Yanchuo knew that after the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, they learned from the Song Dynasty in an all-round way, and the Sinicization was serious. The people of the Kingdom of Jin in the entire central capital could more or less speak Chinese. On the contrary, few people could speak Jurchen language, and those Jurchen old customs It is gradually not mentioned.Back then, Jin □□Wanyan Aguda was a generation of outstanding people. With less than 12 children in the clan, he established Dajin. □□Taizong struggled to start a business. It took [-] years to swallow Liao and destroy Song. Abandoning the riding and archery skills handed down from the ancestors, indulging in feasting and feasting, and being in the world of mortals, there is no such thing as a brave house, unable to control horses, unable to draw bows, and finally being chased by the Mongols who rose on the grassland The buttocks were beaten, so that the country was overthrown, and the country was destroyed.

The Song and Jin countries were originally feuds, but when the Mongolian cavalry entered the Central Plains, people from these two countries were collectively called the Central Plains Han people, and they became subjugated slaves together, which is really sad and lamentable.

Thinking of these, Wanyan Chuo couldn't help feeling sad again.

Wanyan Xu talked to himself for a while, seeing Wanyan Chuo's lack of interest, he stopped continuing the topic, and instead asked curiously: "Mandu, didn't you keep clamoring to be the generalissimo? Why? Why don’t you want to practice martial arts?”

"The general is planning, not being brave."

Wan Yanxu nodded: "Although that is the case, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body. At your current age, practicing martial arts is just right..."

"I said I won't learn!"

Wanyan Xu lost his mind, begging for forgiveness again and again: "Okay, okay, okay, it's fine if you don't want to learn, I'll tell Uncle Liu Wang about this, he will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

Wanyan Chuo was noncommittal, it was acquiescence.

"Mandu..."

"I don't want to go back to Prince Rong's Mansion right now!" Just kidding, Lou Xinyue hasn't given up yet, and if she goes back now, maybe she will meet Wanyan Hongxi and threaten herself. Before this big trouble is completely solved, Wanyan Chuo They all decided to walk around these people and be prepared: "Hulu, you send someone to tell my father and mother that I will live in your house temporarily, and I will not go back to Rong Wang's mansion, so as not to worry them."

Wanyan Xu nodded, he was worried about Wanyan Chuo running around, this kid had a lot of thoughts, he didn't want to let his younger brother whom he had painstakingly raised for several years be abducted by someone without realizing it for a while, and he still put him on his own You can feel at ease under your nose: "Then live in my house first, and go back when you want to go back."

Wanyan Chuo nodded and didn't speak any more.

Coincidentally, at this time, Wanyan Chenghui came over, holding in his hand a brochure that was going to be given to the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin, with a serious expression on his face: "Your Highness, this brochure..."

"what happened?"

Wanyan Chenghui sighed, and said: "Since the imperial examinations were promoted in the previous dynasty, many subjects have been added to the imperial examinations, but whenever there are examinations, cheating is repeatedly prohibited, and it is impossible to prevent it. Your Majesty ordered us to think about countermeasures. It is really..."

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. There are always more solutions than problems.Thinking of this, Wanyan Chuo couldn't help laughing and said: "Hulu, you have done me such a favor this time, I will give you a favor."

"Oh, you have a solution?" Wanyan Xu became interested.

"Cheating is something that can't be banned. There are always some people who are lucky and willing to take the risk, so we can only take strict precautions." Wan Yanxu thought for a while, combined with the experience of preventing cheating in later generations, Suggested: "It's better to expressly stipulate that from this exam, there will be invigilators, and every five candidates will be followed by a soldier to protect them and accompany them until the end of the exam."

Although it is protection, it is actually surveillance, which is the same as the invigilator in the examination room of later generations.

Wanyan Chenghui knew that this plan was feasible as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help deliberating along Wanyan Chuo's thinking, wanting to further improve this suggestion: "Then what if some candidates bring documents or cheat sheets into the examination room?"

After all, many of the current soldiers are vulgar people, illiterate, and do not know a few big characters. Let them monitor the candidates, and they are not smart enough to take strict precautions.

Regarding carrying documents such as cheat sheets, Wan Yanchuo has long thought of a countermeasure: "It's very simple, let the candidates change into uniform clothes before entering the arena, and when the time comes, the clothes and the four treasures of the study will be provided uniformly, so it can be prevented Is it possible for them to bring their personal belongings?"

"Let the candidates who come to take the exam change into uniform clothes? It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. What if the candidates are dissatisfied and unwilling to obey? Can't we forcefully strip their clothes? Really? Disgraceful!" Wanyan Chenghui is a literati after all, and he thinks more about the past and the future.Since ancient times, scholars should regard helping the world as their own, and they are proud and proud. Although this move by the prince can effectively prevent candidates from cheating, it is not an act of grandeur. It is inevitable that there will be suspicion of judging the heart of a gentleman You can't think that all scholars in the world are like this just because of one or two scholars who cheated in the imperial examination!Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word!

"Who told you to use strong ones?" Wanyan Chenghui is really an old pedant who can't turn his head around. "Scholars study the Four Books and Five Classics, and take Confucius and Mencius as their teacher. As a teacher, it is inevitable that they should respect the teacher and respect the way?"

Wanyan Chenghui was stopped by Wanyan Chuo's unreasonable words, and he was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

"Candidates go to Beijing to rush for the exam. The road is full of dust and dust. Naturally, where can the clothes be clean? Before the exam, burn incense and bathe, and ask them to change into clean clothes to salute the most holy teacher and burn incense. Is it too much?" Wan Yanchuo smiled slyly, and said: "Then, just confiscate the clothes of the candidates while they are taking a bath! At that time, there will only be uniformly prepared clothes for them, and they have to wear them if they don't wear them! You can't show your breasts Go into the examination room with your arms bare, that is really degrading!"

"This……"

Not giving Wanyan Chenghui a chance to be shocked, Wanyanchuo said again: "Every test paper must be anonymized and copied. This is necessary to prevent people from colluding with the examiner in private. In addition, the most important thing should be punishment. Only under punishment can we deter those who have evil intentions. The order will be passed on. All students who refer to it must be guaranteed by their relatives, neighbors and fellow villagers. One person pretends to be punished. , as an example to others!"

Wanyan Xu finally understood, and couldn't help laughing: "You ghost!"
