In recent years, due to the support of the imperial court for new schools, political envoys from all over the country have had to whitewash their façade even if they are not cold, so many large and small schools have been opened across the country.

Yunnan Zuobu political envoy surnamed Huang Mingsheng, neither a child of the family, nor a Hanlin Jinshi, in the past followed the Mu family for two generations of family heads for decades, actually from the staff to the official, has been the official of the frontier, can be called the early Ming Dynasty groundbreaking people.

Mu Wangfu naturally supports the new school, so Huang Sheng also chose to support it, and the traditional scholarly sects in Yunnan are scarce, and the resistance from Shilin is not great, which is similar to the situation in Liaodong, and opening a school is twice the result with half the effort.

Today is the day of school, early in the morning, twenty-four small dishes are placed at home, the first main dish is a bowl of ham and cabbage, boiled in chicken soup, Xu Hao ate a piece, and said, "It tastes good." ”

The second dish is winter bamboo shoots and pheasant slices, which taste just as delicious, and then come up to Yunnan gas hot pot, ripples and other girls taste the pine nut sugar stuffed dim sum made of cream crisp, and they are very happy to eat.

Mu Ningxue asked, "Will the government attend the opening ceremony today?" ”

"Lord Huang is coming." Xu Hao put down his chopsticks and said, "Your family will choose people, Huang Sheng has no real talent, just obedient." And his people are extremely bold, and they hide in the city every time they fight, and it is said that they are often young and do not go out of the yamen for half a step. ”

Mu Ningxue smiled: "It's because of timidity that I can rest assured!" With him in Kunming, no one is worried about making trouble. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Mu Ningxue sighed: "In fact, Huang Sheng is the person of the first emperor, because my Mu family is loyal to the monarch and gets along with each other well, and now I will not be suspicious of the following for no reason, so everyone has been safe and sound over the years, and they have worked together to run Yunnan for the saint, thank God." ”

"Hmm." Xu Hao nodded, and said in his heart, isn't it. If Zhu Di is alive, because the Mu family is also safe, then Huang Sheng will definitely be removed and replaced by Zhu Di's own henchmen to balance Yunnan. And Huang Sheng has no real talent and learning, and his future is worrying, how can he stay in Yunnan for so many years, and run an officialdom like an iron bucket, and he has become the emperor of the soil second only to Mu Wangfu.

The general environment in Yunnan is now stable, but small-scale rebellions have emerged one after another, and a general was assassinated by Shaomin last month.

Political Envoy Division. Mu Sheng specially said to Huang Sheng: "Today's school starts, please ask Lord Huang to go in person, firstly, to make my brother-in-law happy, and secondly, to let the students see that adults attach so much importance to academic affairs, they must be extra motivated and work hard." ”

Huang Sheng said; "Two days ago, someone died, and I, the chief secretary, sent a team of pro-soldiers to patrol day and night, although nothing happened now. However, we always have to be prepared. Since the ancient road, the courage of the brothers has always been small, and they have to ask the grandfather of the country to send more soldiers out to protect them. ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "I have already dispatched good manpower, don't worry, adults." ”

"That's fine." Huang Sheng readily agreed. immediately changed into a new official uniform.

When Xu Hao went out here, he found that the street was full of soldiers, and when he asked, he realized that the timid Huang Sheng not only wanted to come to Muwangfu's eight hundred soldiers, but also specially transferred the three major battalions in Kunming. Everywhere he passed, the roads were blocked.

Xu Hao shook his head and rode to the school gate. Officials at all levels who had already arrived gathered around, and after a period of politeness, wait.

Xu Hao has never paid attention to the dignity and humility of officialdom, and came in advance, which made Huang Sheng and Mu Sheng pounce, and when they learned that he had left, they hurried over, for fear that he would be unhappy.

From a distance, I saw a sedan chair carried by eight people coming slowly, two hundred people in front of me sounded the gong to open the way, the sedan chair was front and back, left and right, dozens of guards, all military attaches on horseback, each holding a new flintlock pistol, or a bright steel knife, people who don't know still think that they are going to go to war.

The sedan chair was ushered into the university auditorium, where teachers and students stood on either side.

Huang got off the sedan chair and walked all the way smiling, seeing the students' queue as neat as a military camp, his face looked very happy.

When he arrived at the rostrum, Huang Sheng stepped forward a few steps and saluted slightly: "The lower official has seen Lord Xu." ”

Xu Hao glanced at him and said, "It's hard for Lord Huang to get this, the teachers and students want to listen to the adult's explanation, and they also invite Lord Huang to give a speech." ”

When Huang Sheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and thought about it: "There is Lord Xu to teach them, and it is the same, what else do you want me to say?" Besides, there is no need to prepare for this. ”

The speech atmosphere of the new-style school has been around for many years, and some people still like to express their opinions on the street, because Huang Sheng is no stranger to this, many squires open shops or schools have been built, and invite him to give speeches and speeches, and he will ask the staff master to prepare a draft for him in advance, and memorize the book according to the script.

But today he didn't prepare in advance, he thought that there were Xu Hao and Mu Sheng, so naturally it would not be his turn to be in the limelight.

If it was in the past, just refuse casually, but today I met an unintelligible Lord Xu, and I must ask him to give him a face.

Huang Sheng explained to explain, but Xu Hao just didn't agree, Huang Sheng had to say: "Xiaguan has occasionally felt cold in the past few days, and he will be out of breath if he talks too much, so I'll send someone to say it on my behalf." ”

Xu Hao was not reluctant, and said, "Yes." ”

Huang Sheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in his heart, didn't Xu Sanye not accept gifts? Could it be that the souvenirs I sent are too shabby? But you're not short of money! I have the heart to send a few beauties over, but you brought a lot of wives and concubines, how dare I?

While secretly slandering himself, he ordered the prefect to give a speech. This prefect's surname is Hu, born in Hanlin, and he has just come to Kunming, and the Bagu article is naturally very clever, as for what new learning and the like, he doesn't understand it at all.

He didn't hear anything outside the window in the capital, and today he followed his boss to the campus, which was also the first time he was eye-opening.

The boss sent him to give a speech, but he really didn't understand it, and he didn't dare to refuse in person, so he cautiously asked: "My lord, what is a speech?" ”

Huang Sheng said: "What's so difficult about this? Just like Mr. taught his disciples, taught them a few words of the principles of life, and encouraged the students to study hard, and after completing their studies in the future, they can repay the saint and stabilize the country. ”

Governor Hu put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "I see, that's very easy." ”

At that moment, he was full of confidence to prepare, Xu Hao walked up to the teachers and students who were crowded in the auditorium, and said loudly: "Today - it was originally a speech by the political envoy, but because he was not feeling well, he appointed the prefect to say a few words on his behalf. Everyone is welcome. ”

The students applauded, and soon returned to silence, waiting for Hu Zhifu to come forward to speak, who knew that Hu Zhifu was frightened by the applause for the first time in front of so many people, and was stunned for a long time.

Huang Sheng winked at him, and secretly pulled his sleeve again, which made Hu Zhifu so anxious that his face was red, and he walked over slowly, and he was stumbling for a long time. Coughed twice.

The students thought it was funny, but even if they hadn't experienced the speech, they could experience it by putting themselves in their shoes, so they didn't laugh and waited quietly.

Hu Zhifu opened his mouth for a long time, forgot the explanation of his boss, and didn't know what to say, and suddenly said: "Look at you people, the house you live in now is tall, big and bright. How comfortable! ”

A few students couldn't help but laugh, Huang Sheng was worried that the majesty of the officials would be swept away, everyone was embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't laugh!" ”

Hu Zhifu has been an official for many years. As soon as he saw his boss cheering him, he quickly calmed down, and his courage immediately increased, and then he said, "Do you have such a big house at home?" And the school is said to be free of room money. Needless to say, you. At such an old age, I have never lived in such a magnificent and tall building. Now that you live in such a good house, it is no longer easy for you to work hard. Are you worthy of the imperial court and the political envoy? First, the eight strands have to work hard. ”

Speaking of this, the students couldn't help but sneer and giggle. Huang Sheng hurriedly reminded: "This is a new school, and there is no test for eight shares." ”

"Yes, yes." Governor Hu reacted quickly, and then changed his words: "If you don't take the eight shares, you will study archaeology." If you do a good job of ancient learning, you will be able to use it after staying in the museum in the future. ”

Huang Sheng saw that he was talking in layman's words again, and looked at Xu Hao, who was smiling, and couldn't refute him anymore, so he had to continue for him, "What Master Hu means is that I hope you will work hard and don't misunderstand his intentions." Alright, that's it. ”

There is no doubt that the students will look down on Hu Zhifu because of this, and Hu Zhifu will also deepen the estrangement from Xinxue.

Xu Hao sighed in his heart, if there is no external influence in the future, the new and the old will definitely become sharp contradictions, and even irreconcilable with each other, just like capitalism and feudalism, either you die or I die.

When he walked into the library, he saw the spacious and bright space, rows of tall bookshelves, and countless books, Huang Sheng couldn't help but be in awe.

Xu Hao said: "That's it, I still have some things to do, Lord Huang, please do it." ”

"Master Xu, go slowly." Huang Sheng said hurriedly.

Mu Sheng was also not happy to accompany him, and said when he saw this: "I want to entertain my brother-in-law, Lord Huang will leave first." ”

As soon as they left, Huang Sheng immediately resumed the style of the feudal officials, pointed to the bookshelf to the school and a large group of his subordinates, and said: "When I saw these books, I remembered that my two little grandsons came, they were willing to read since they were children, they started writing at the age of thirteen, and they finished the article in the second year, and at that time people said that these two children were prodigies. As for the others, I haven't tested them, but I have read a lot of books, but I'm afraid that I can't say if I have read all the books in this library. ”

The big guys were stunned, looked at each other, and said in their hearts that they had written the entire Hongxi Canon plus hundreds of foreign books, all kinds of wild history miscellaneous records, and all kinds of wild history and miscellaneous records, all of them had read it? I'm afraid that no one in this world dares to boast about this sea, right?

For a while, no one knew how to pick up the stubble, but Huang Sheng didn't care, and said to himself: "What does the official mean, I really want to ask them to come in again to learn the articles of the vassal countries and friendly countries, in the future, foreign languages will be spoken, and foreign characters will be written, so isn't it really learning from China and the West?" Wouldn't it be better? As the saying goes, is there no end to Taoism? ”

The principal is the vice president of Eastern Liaoning University, Xiucai was born, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, is there such a bragging? On the other hand, he said: "I'm afraid that the knowledge of the two young masters is too high, and the talent of the master of this school is not enough." ”

Huang Sheng said disapprerovingly: "Teach some foreign languages, what's not enough, and don't you want to teach the Four Books and Five Classics?" However, there are too many people coming in and out of this library, and the crowd is too mixed, which is inevitably inconvenient. (To be continued......)
