Listening to the strings and listening to the music, Xiong Xin'er looked at Wu Xuexia's appearance, and heard that Wu Xuexia was not very enthusiastic about herself, so she probably didn't want to go into the house by herself, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you, girl, I'm going back, it's not early." Wei Gongzi, I really don't have to send it, I can protect myself. ”

"It's a must to send, I know you know martial arts, which kung fu did you learn? Can you ask? "Wei Bao has just practiced martial arts, so he is quite interested in martial arts.

"Huh? Bear girl can still be martial? Wu Xuexia was also enthusiastic, she really hadn't met a girl who knew martial arts.

"I only have a set of Baguazhang, which belongs to a branch of the Tai Chi faction, which was taught to me by my father in Liaodong, the wife of a military general, and I have practiced for more than four years, but I just pass the time on weekdays, and I can't be regarded as martial arts." Xiong Xin'er said modestly.

"Miss Bear is too modest, I almost blinded Xiaobao's eyes when I saw your move that day, it's really amazing!" Wu Sanfu smiled heartlessly: "You know, Xiaobao is also good at martial arts, and he is quite powerful, otherwise he can't avoid that day's decision." ”

When Wu Xuexia heard this, she knew that Xiong Xin'er was plotting against Wei Bao that day, and she was suddenly nervous, distressed, and unhappy, and her gaze at Xiong Xin'er was suddenly unkind.

Although she didn't know why Xiong Xin'er wanted to assassinate Wei Bao, whenever she heard that someone was going to be unfavorable to Wei Bao, she didn't want to care about anything, and she didn't want to think about it, so she would be disgusted with that person.

Wu Xuexia's love for Wei Bao is unreserved, otherwise she would not have followed Wei Bao so unclearly.

When Xiong Xin'er heard Wu Sanfu's words, she immediately knelt down again: "I'm sorry, Wei Gongzi, I mistakenly took you for the Wang family that day, I hurt Gongzi, I regret it, if Gongzi is angry, I will immediately apologize with death." ”

Wei Bao hurriedly said: "What is this for, hurry up, I don't blame you." ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he frowned at Wu Sanfu: "Brother Sanfu, didn't we all say that we are not allowed to mention this matter again?" ”

Wu Sanfu stuck out his tongue and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I forgot." ”

Wei Bao was speechless, so he had to say to Xiong Xin'er: "Miss Xiong, please get up." ”

Xiong Xin'er raised her head movingly, choked up, and said: "Even if Gongzi Daren and righteousness don't blame me, I don't have the face to live in the world." ”

"What do you mean by that? It's not worth it for such a thing, isn't it a misunderstanding? You didn't mean it, if I met someone with a deep hatred, I might not be able to help but do it, you dare to do it, not only is it not your fault, but it also shows that you are very courageous and worthy of encouragement. Wei Bao laughed.

"But I recognized the wrong person, acted recklessly, and did not distinguish between right and wrong." Xiong Xin'er, this girl is a little tendoned.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "No, we were reckless, when we visited your house that day, we should say hello in advance, so that we won't be misunderstood." If you don't get up, blame me. ”

"I didn't." Xiong Xin'er can compare to Wei Bao's mouth to say, Ai Ai hesitated, wanted to get up, and wanted to kneel.

It was Wu Xuexia who broke the deadlock and helped Xiong Xin'er up: "You can't tell him, he doesn't blame you, don't worry." ”

"I'm not afraid that my son will blame me, I have a bad conscience." Xiong Xin'er argued.

"It's all the same, don't always think about the past." Wu Xuexia is very good at enlightening people, and smiled slightly: "One day we made two moves, and I still know for the first time that there are women who can do martial arts." ”

"Miss also knows martial arts?" Xiong Xin'er saw that although Wu Xuexia and Wei Bao had an intimate relationship, they were not husband and wife, so she called Wu Xuexia Miss.

"Yes, I'm a Shaolin line." Wu Xuexia smiled, "Wei Gongzi can't beat me, you didn't succeed in a sneak attack, you shouldn't be able to beat me." ”

President Wei smiled: "That's not likely, right? Miss Xiong and I are both Tai Chi and a lineage, although we are not as brave as your Shaolin lineage, but we are good at self-preservation, and besides, you haven't fought with me for a while, how do you know that I can't beat you now? ”

"Hmph, I'll make a move later." Wu Xuexia smiled and squinted at Wei Bao, but did not take Wei Bao in her eyes.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Xiong Xin'er saw that Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia were a little flirtatious, and said softly: "Son, I will leave first." ”

Wei Bao nodded and said to Lin Wenbiao: "Let people protect the safety of the bear girl!" ”

"Yes, childe, please rest assured." Lin Wenbiao immediately agreed.

Then Xiong Xin'er wanted to wait for Wei Bao to enter the mansion before leaving, and Wei Bao wanted to wait for Xiong Xin'er to leave first before entering the mansion.

The two men stood at a stalemate.

After a few seconds, Wei Bao saw Xiong Xin'er's intentions and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go at the same time, it's always okay, right?" When your brother is able to walk on the ground, welcome to my visit. ”

Xiong Xin'er hummed softly, but still refused to turn around.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and had to go home first.

"Miss Xiong has a lot of courtesies, she deserves to be everyone's lady, I have seen her father." Wu Xuexia walked as she walked.

"Oh, really?" Wei Bao said casually, not impressed.

"Well, her father is very powerful, the people in Liaoxi and Liaodong are convinced of him, if Wang Huazhen listened to Xiong Tingbi at that time, Jiannu would not have any tricks, and he would not even lose the land outside the border." Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao sighed, this is a historical thing, he probably knows a little, Wang Huazhen doesn't know the art of war, but he loves to command blindly, so he is so happy that he can not be defeated.

"Miss Bear is so beautiful and knows martial arts, don't you think it's very strange? Loved it? Wu Xuexia smiled as she walked and glanced at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao sweated and glanced at Wu Xuexia: "There are so many beautiful women, I have to like one when I see one?" Am I not tired? ’

"Well, that's what you said." Wu Xuexia smiled playfully and said to Wu Sanfu: "Brother, Wei Bao said that he doesn't want a bear girl, it's up to you!" If her father hadn't been convicted of being a prisoner, he wouldn't have been a concubine for our family, but in the current situation, Miss Xiong can give you a concubine, which is already a good result, so you have to work harder. ”

Wei Bao was sweating profusely when he heard this, and secretly thought that I didn't say no? Do you want to get along again?

I don't know why, Wei Bao is more and more aware that he is not a thing, women are the same as silver, and they are really not afraid of much.

Even if he can't be busy, it's impossible to revolve around women all day long, but he can get one a few times a year, and he usually raises it, and he wants to have his favorite beauties, the more the better.

No wonder the emperors are all seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, and there will be hundreds of concubines in exaggerated terms, and men are really the same. It depends on whether there is that power or not.

After returning home, everyone had no intention of eating and drinking.

Wu Xuexia really had a fight with Wei Bao, which ended in Wu Xuexia's complete victory.

This made President Wei a little frustrated, he practiced martial arts almost every day, although he didn't have much time every day, but half an hour, an hour was almost taken out, but he was still not Wu Xuexia's opponent.

President Wei's two masters, the main one is Chang Wuye, because President Wei first practiced Tai Chi, and he already has a little foundation, so it is not easy to change paths.

The second is Cheng Zongyou, Cheng Zongyou is a master of the Shaolin faction, mainly responsible for being a sparring partner for Wei Bao, and can also correct some problems in Wei Bao's cultivation process.

Although Shaolin and Tai Chi are two paths, but when they reach a certain realm, the principles of boxing are all figured out.

President Wei has two high-level points, and it stands to reason that he will progress faster than ordinary people.

It can only be said that President Wei's talent in martial arts can only be regarded as ordinary, just a little better than ordinary people.

If you are not a highly gifted person, you will not make much progress if you only spend about an hour a day.

What's more, Wu Xuexia has been practicing martial arts for five or six years, and she spends more effort and thought every day than Wei Bao, and Wei Bao is naturally far from Wu Xuexia's opponent.

"Are you convinced?" Wu Xuexia stood proudly, looking at Wei Bao, who was beaten by herself, sitting on the ground.

Wei Bao smiled bitterly: "I am not convinced, we don't have a deep hatred, naturally we can't fight to the death, like this, I don't have a skillful boxing move, and I suffer a big loss." But if you fight with your life, fight with your life, it's another matter. ”

Wu Xuexia knew that Wei Bao was right, but she didn't think so: "It's really funny, do you have to fight with your life to distinguish between the superior and the inferior?" Those who practice martial arts, don't they have to compete with each other? ”

"What the president said is right, if you fight with your life, the president may not be able to protect himself under Miss Wu." Chang Wuye said with a smile: "Miss Wu's fist is ruthless, she attacks strongly, the president is kind-hearted, and she is afraid of hurting the eldest lady, so she has scruples when she returns the move, the strength of the two parties is very close, and one party has too many scruples, so it will be difficult to parry." ”

"Then you don't have to scruple, bare-handed, where is it so easy to get hurt, let's fight again." Wu Xuexia came to the end.

Wei Bao got up from the ground with a smile and patted the dust on his buttocks: "I'm not coming, I'm convinced, it's done, right?" You win. ”

"Hmph, it's not convincing at all." Wu Xuexia squinted at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said: "Convincing." ”

Wu Xuexia was satisfied, and smiled: "Even if you can win against me in the future, you have to let me." ”

"I'm sure I'll let you." Wu Sanfu smiled.

Wu Xuexia glanced at Wu Sanfu with a smile and left satisfied.

"Your sister is so energetic!" Wei Bao smiled bitterly and said to Wu Sanfu: "I usually practice boxing and stick by myself, mainly for physical fitness, not for fighting. Where they practice martial arts like Xuexia and Sangui, they are all for fighting. ”

"The people of Liaoxi and Liaodong are fierce, my father is not good at martial arts, and my eldest brother and I don't like martial arts, so there must be someone in the family to support the scene." Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Xue Xia is fierce on the surface, but in fact, she is the kindest. ”

"I know." Wei Bao smiled slightly, and when he started with Wu Xuexia just now, he seemed to recall the situation when he first met Wu Xuexia.

President Wei and Wu Xuexia met for the first time, and they were amazed by Wu Xuexia, but most of them were because of the amazement of the goddess.

Because Wu Xuexia is too out-of-this-world, unlike Zhao Jinfeng, although she is beautiful, she does not make people feel that she does not eat the fireworks of the world, so President Wei will fall in love with Zhao Jinfeng at first sight, but it is not easy to fall in love with Wu Xuexia at first sight.

But after getting along for such a long time, President Wei has become accustomed to Wu Xuexia's beauty, and no longer thinks that Wu Xuexia is an unattainable fairy.

Early the next morning, President Wei received an unexpected invitation, which was actually sent by Wei Guangwei.

Wei Bao was still hesitant to go to meet Wei Guangwei, after all, Wei Guangwei was the main examiner this time, and he helped him a lot.

No, it should be said that it all depends on Wei Guangwei, because every word of Wei Bao's exam paper is made by Wei Guangwei.

But it is precisely because of this that Wei Bao feels that he should avoid suspicion and not let people think that he has anything to do with the eunuchs.

After all, he and Wei Zhongxian had reached a private agreement, and he helped Wei Zhongxian secretly deal with the Donglin Party, and on the surface, he didn't have to show that he had anything to do with Wei Zhongxian's faction.

"Why did Wei Guangwei invite me? Where is the reason for the Lord to invite the students? Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao: "Who else did he invite?" ”

As early as the Han Dynasty, when the probation system was implemented, the person who was recommended called himself a "protégé" to the county governor who recommended him. Also known as "seat teacher".

Tang Jinshi's honorific title for the examiner. The Ming and Qing Dynasty Juren and Jinshi are also used to refer to their undergraduate examiners or presidents.

It is one of the important relationships for the Jinshi (lifters) who have just entered the career after the Tang and Song dynasties.

In the Tang Dynasty, those who passed the imperial examination worshiped the examiner as the master and became the master and apprentice, which also became a hotbed of party contention in the late Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, in view of the party struggle in the Tang Dynasty, the final selection of Jinshi was determined in the hands of the emperor through the palace examination, with the intention that Jinshi called himself "the protégé of the Son of Heaven" and regarded the emperor as the master.

However, in practice, the Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasties would elect the chief examiner, and the juren and jinshi were also used to call their undergraduate examiners or presidents.

Generally can serve as the chief examiner (or chief officer) most of them are often in the sea, in a high position, after serving as an examiner, all admitted jinshi (lifters) generally have to perform the examiner disciple ceremony, and the chief examiner should also regard the new jinshi as their own protégé and teach, support. In the future, the disciples they cultivate will form their own power groups in the process of their own tenure, and at least they can speak for themselves after encountering changes or losses (or to the office), and they will not be liquidated.

Basically, the relationship between the Lord and the protégés is one of mutual benefit. The lord and the protégé are not only the relationship of giving grace and repaying gratitude, but also constitute a community of interests, which can be maintained and developed in the interaction with each other, and have had a wide and profound impact on China's modern politics.

Li Kang of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Du Yi Zhi" and recorded a very interesting story: Cui Qun was a Jinshi (on the same list as Han Yu) admitted by the famous minister Lu Zhen in the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), and later became the prime minister and was an official Qingzheng.

He was in the Tang Xian Zongyuan and ten years as a servant of the Ministry of Rites to know the tribute, and admitted 30 Jinshi. His wife, Li, "tried to persuade the village to be a plan for his descendants."

Cui Qun smiled and said: "There are more than 30 beautiful villages and fertile fields, all over the world, why worry about Mrs. ”

But the lady asked rhetorically: "Aren't you the protégé of Lu Zhen's father?" ”

Cui Qun replied, "Yes! ”

The lady said: "In previous years, as a Zhigongju, you sent someone to tell his son Lu Jianli not to respond, so as not to cause criticism. If the protégé is really a beautiful village, then Lu's village will be abandoned. ”

Cui Qun heard his wife say this, and he also felt sorry for his master.

"Why did you invite the president, I don't know, this time Wei Guangwei invited a lot of people, basically the three hundred people on the top three list of today's science and technology were invited, it should be to strengthen everyone's recognition of him as the master." Lin Wenbiao replied.

Wu Xuexia and Song Yingxing think that this may also be the case.

Wei Bao's subordinates lack an old fritter in officialdom, and they can only rely on guessing about many official things.

Wei Bao wants to get such a person around, but it is not easy.

"Since the lord is invited, I will definitely go." Wei Bao said with a smile: "After Wei Zhongxian took power, he has held two examinations, three or four hundred people each time, and a total of seven or eight hundred people, these people should be regarded as Wei Zhongxian's protégés." With such development, can the power not grow rapidly? Even if they are students of the Donglin Party, they have to recognize the Wei Party as the leader on the surface. ”

I don't know why, Wei Bao now dislikes to call the Eunuch Party more and more, and likes to call Wei Zhongxian's faction the Wei Party, because he himself is actually a member of this faction, called the Eunuch Party, which is strange and ugly.

This is a very normal human relationship, and President Wei went without much discussion.

only brought Fan Datou, Lin Wenbiao, and Song Yingxing to go, and Wu Sanfu, who was already from the same Jinshi, was also qualified to participate in this banquet invited by Wei Guangwei.

It was nominally invited by Wei Guangwei, but the place where the banquet was held was in Gu Bingqian's mansion, which was also a disguised way to tell the world that Lord Gu Bingqian, the first assistant, was Grandpa Wei's people, and you were all Grandpa Wei's people.

Wu Xuexia knew that Wei Bao was going to do serious business, and it was inconvenient for her to follow a girl, so she didn't go along.

Gu Bingqian is already over 70 years old, called Yi'an, a native of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. In the twenty-third year of Wanli (1595 AD), he was a jinshi, successively served as an editor, and was tired of the right attendant of the official rites department. In the first year of the Apocalypse, he was in charge of the affairs of the Zhan Minister.

Wei Zhongxian was in power, and he took the lead in attaching himself, and history called him "mediocre and shameless", "Qu Feng Zhongxian, if servitude".

In the third year of the Apocalypse, he was also a scholar of Dongge University and joined the aircraft service.

In the first month of the fifth year, Jin Shaofu, the prince and the prince, and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, and rebuilt the Jidian University Scholar. In September, he was promoted to a young master.

After Ye Xianggao and Han Yi were dismissed, he succeeded him as the first assistant. Gu Bingqian drafted the holy decree and obeyed Wei Zhongxian's will in everything.

Shoufu Gu Bingqian's family is not luxurious.

It can be said that the dignitaries and nobles of this era that Wei Bao has seen, whether they are top ministers, dukes and marquis in Beijing, or the royal mansion, do not seem to be luxurious.

It is very different from the scenes of wealthy families often filmed in film and television dramas.

This is related to the low income of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, even if you get the silver, you have to keep a low profile, otherwise how the real estate money and decoration money came from, you will first explain it unclearly.

Like Gu Bingqian's mansion is quite big, it is only after he became the first assistant this year, the emperor rewarded him, and he changed his residence, so it is so big.

After all, he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't live too shabby.

There are many similar palaces in the capital that hold land rights, after all, there are few ministers who can get a good death, especially the cabinet ministers, generally whoever is in power, who will live in these mansions, and after a few years, they will be ousted from power, or they will be ousted by the emperor, and these mansions will change owners.

"That's a lot of people." Wu Sanfu looked at the traffic in front of Gu Bingqian's mansion, a little excited.

Wu Sanfu is a playful person, and playful people especially like to be lively.

Wei Bao is not very unusual, he has seen more of this kind of big scene than Wu Sanfu.

Today, President Wei is no longer the otaku he was when he was just reborn.

Each Jinshi generally brought one or two retinues, and many people brought more than a dozen, so two or three thousand people gathered outside Gu Bingqian's mansion, and they were all about to catch up with the spectacular scene outside the Shuntian Mansion Tribute Courtyard when the examination was taking the exam.

Because they were all in the same year, the Jinshi waited in line to enter Gu Bingqian's mansion, and at the same time greeted each other and made friends.

The three hundred people are all in the same year, and the relationship is the same, but the three hundred people, the time is limited, and it is difficult to communicate one by one, so everyone will automatically make up a pile, generally with the relationship between the villagers as the pile, and the Jinshi from all provinces are very consciously together and have a lot of fun.

Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu are the only Jinshi in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and it is impossible for two people to get together in a bunch, so they do a bunch with the Jinshi in Beizhili.

There are more than forty Jinshi in Beizhili, more than one-tenth of the entire Ming Dynasty, not a small number of people, naturally they don't mind Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu with them, everyone is still very enthusiastic to talk to the two of them.

But even if there are so many jinshi in the north zhili, their scale is far less than that of the south zhili, and there are nearly 100 jinshi in the south zhili, which is more than double that of the north zhili.

Other large provinces in the south of the Yangtze River near Nanzhili are also large households in and out of Jinshi.

Combined, there are more than 200 people in these places!

It accounts for more than two-thirds of the total proportion of Jinshi!

They are the students of the Donglin Party.

And what the Central Plains, the northwest, the southwest, the Qichu area, plus the North Zhili, together there are less than 100 people.

Therefore, this group of people is naturally together.

A total of two large piles were formed, and the two large piles were divided into several small piles, which also objectively reflected the current situation of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"See, those southerners are so spirited!" A student from Beizhili whispered.

Immediately, many people agreed.

Wei Bao looked over, but in fact, he didn't find how energetic the southern students were, and secretly thought, I'm afraid this is the effect of the heart, when they can't get used to each other, they can't get used to what the other party does, even if they just stand like a sculpture, they can't get used to it.

Originally, Wei Bao was an authentic southerner, but in this life, he was reborn in the north, so he has a sense of identity with the north and the south, and he does not have the concept of regional artillery.

"There are so many of them! Moreover, the top three in the first class are all accounted for by them! Of course, I was angry. "A student from Shandong, his mouth is full of the smell of green onions.

It does not mean that the students in the north must be attached to the eunuch party, although all of them are simply divided according to the region, but there are still some students who only stand according to the regional relationship, but they have not joined the opposition and conflict between the eunuch group and the Donglin party group.

That's how Wei Bao is.

Obviously, Wu Sanfu already saw himself as a member of the Wei Party.
