Chapter 122: 121: Go home first if you fail

Wei Guangde failed the provincial examination and did not cause any storm. In ancient times, the government wanted to send the students on the list to their homes, so those who did not make the list naturally would not give any stutters.

In Bengshanbao and Madang, not many people knew that Wei Guangde was going to take the provincial examination. Only the Wei family and Master Sun knew about this. Of course, they would not say it everywhere, at least they would not promote it everywhere before the victory was delivered.

The previous rumors about Wei Guangde are now just gradually dissipating, and there are lessons from the past.

Wei Guangde's failure in the exam actually made the scholars and students around him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s not jealous, but if a teenager appears by his side, they will feel the pressure.

In fact, what they are afraid of is comparison, and compare them with Wei Guangde.

I have only been studying for a few years and have achieved some fame and fortune, and I still have the face to see it.

After failing the provincial examination, although Wei Guangde boarded the boat to Jiujiang Prefecture, he got ashore when he arrived in Hukou County and returned home first.

In Pengze County, Wei Guangde stayed at his cousin's house for one night.

Of course, the main purpose is to understand the situation in Zhejiang this month.

Fortunately, after the Japanese pirates retreated in May, Zhejiang was calm in the past few months, and no trace of Japanese pirates was found everywhere.

The next day, Wei Guangde returned to Bengshan Fort and planned to go to pay homage to Master Sun later.

Master Sun was his teacher Meng, and when he returned to Madang, he wanted to pay his respects to him.

This time I went home, mainly to talk about his life in Jiujiang Mansion, and to ask Wei's mother whether to go with him. After all, he had used the money that Mr. Wei had seized from the battlefield this time to buy a property in the city.

Wei Guangde had written a letter to his family before, and this time he went home to explain the situation in detail.

After returning to Jiangxi, Mrs. Wei had known that she would be promoted to Wei Zhenfu. Her mother had long known that she naturally had nothing to say. Her family had long had the idea of ​​being promoted, but she was reluctant to leave the location of Bengshan Fort.

Now that I go to Jiujiang Prefecture to serve as the Wei Governor, my eldest son can successfully take over the Bangshan Fort, which is obviously the best choice, not to mention that my eldest brother will also go to Jiujiang to serve as the Wei Governor Commander.

"Son, mom is still here to wait for your father to come back before going to Jiujiang."

Wei's mother thought about it and said, "Since you have entered the provincial school now, you must study hard. You are still young and are working hard. It's nothing if you fail this provincial examination. I believe you will definitely pass the provincial examination next time."

When they left the room and walked outside, Wei Wencai patted Wei Guangde on the shoulder and smiled: "Waiter, don't be discouraged. I didn't pass the exam this time and then take the exam next time."

"I know, brother."

Wei Guangde nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, I've forgotten something."

Wei Guangde remembered a Tang newspaper he saw before with his cousin. The content of the Tang newspaper really made him unable to believe that such a thing would happen in the world.

"What's wrong?"

Wei Wencai asked curiously.

"Do you still remember the one named Qiu Luan? Let's talk about the frontier general who was very powerful in the war at the beginning."

Wei Guangde said, "He is dead."

"Is the north defeated again?"

When Wei Wencai heard this news, he immediately thought that the court lost another general, and he was likely to be defeated and killed in battle with the Tartars again.

"No, the Tang newspaper said that he died last month, and he died of an old disease attack. However, it was not a few days after death. At the end of August, he was found to be connected with the Tartars. In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Tartars soldiers surrounded the capital, and he was the inner supporter."

Wei Wencai was surprised when he heard his younger brother say this and looked at him with disbelief.

"What the Tang newspaper said was that he was ordered by the emperor to open a coffin and kill a corpse, and he would also spread the heads of the nine borders, and his family was confiscated and his family was killed, and all the remaining party members were killed."

Wei Guangde said lightly. When he saw the Tangbao at first, he couldn't believe it was true, but he couldn't help but believe it in black and white.

Even if the court is stupid, it is impossible to fake such a big thing.

This is the conclusion he came to after thinking about it. It may be true. There may be errors in the details, but there are high probability that it will not be wronged.

"Is the north so dangerous?"

Wei Wencai frowned and whispered.

"The emperor is still in the capital, and it is probably not as bad as you think."

Wei Guangde smiled. He knew that there was still time for the Ming Dynasty to let those man-made disasters, so the situation naturally did not get hopelessly damaged. That was something that happened many years later.

"Now the imperial court has been messed up by the southern Japanese and northern Japanese. You are afraid that you will practice the Yu Ding here."

Before, Wei Meng took away their carefully trained soldiers, and more than 20 Yu Dings were temporarily recruited in the Bengshan Fort to temporarily fill the vacancy. It was impossible for a few people to watch the military fort.

"You have also read the letter I sent back last time. If there are those who are injured and disabled in the castle, please train Yu Ding and make up for it directly at that time, and the combat power will not decrease much. Nowadays, you have to have someone in your hands."

Wei Guangde continued to say leisurely.

"I know this, Guangde, you said that our people have withdrawn this year. Will the Japanese pirates go to Zhejiang to loot again next year? Will we send troops to fight again?"

Wei Wencai had been to Zhejiang and knew that the imperial army had not eliminated many Japanese pirates this time, and most of the Japanese pirates successfully escaped after looting.

In this battle against Japanese pirates, the low combat power of the coastal guards allowed the Japanese pirates to take advantage of them. They were afraid that they would not give up after tasted the sweetness.

"I'm going to come again."

Wei Guangde replied without thinking about his elder brother's question, "The combat power of the government army is low, and we will not take this opportunity to make a fortune. When will the court pay attention to it for a few years and transfer elite generals from the north, I am afraid that they will not have any good fruits to eat."

Wei Guangde thought of what he saw in the Tang newspaper that the famous general Yu Dayou, whom he had seen later, appeared and was directly sent to Zhejiang to be responsible for coastal defense. However, another famous Qi Jiguang did not appear. Instead, he was a man named Tang Kekuan, responsible for the defense of the coastal areas of Nanzhili.

"Is it written in the newspaper?"

Wei Wencai heard his brother's words and looked over and asked in doubt.

He didn't believe that the Northern Army would go south. His brotherhood would like to find it, but he probably saw it in Pengze County.

"Yes, Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan were transferred to serve as gangs in Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, responsible for preparing for Japanese defences along the coast."

Wei Guangde said that if he didn't say it, his elder brother would still know these things if he sent someone to Qianhu Station for a few days.

"That's good. Originally, we didn't care about our Jiujiang Guards. We just need to guard Jiujiang and escort the customs and taxes. Going to Zhejiang to fight is nothing."

Wei Wencai shook his head, still a little dissatisfied with mobilizing them to fight the coastal cucumbers.

The next morning, Wei Guangde went out and called Zhang Ji to go to Master Sun's private school.

"Yu Head, no, Mr. Wei"

After a few steps out, Wei Guangde heard Zhang Ji calling him like that, and felt awkward, and immediately interrupted: "Please give me a nickname, master, I haven't passed the exam for juren, so I can't be a master."

"No, my mother said, you are a scholar now. Just like Master Sun, you can't call him a nickname anymore, otherwise I will be beaten when I go back."

The two of them said while walking, walking along the riverside path.
