Chapter 335 Yu Yunwen, Xiao Buyan
In the Xiyuan, Luoyang, inside the newly built Xiyuan University of Science and Technology Hall, it suddenly became a furious today!
Of course, the one who was fumbling was not the college students, because Xiyuan University is still in the preparation stage, the teachers have not yet been collected, and the first college student entrance examination has not yet begun! Those who live in the university dormitory are all candidates who come to take the exam from outside the jurisdiction of the Luoyang imperial court.
That's right, the imperial examination held by the Luoyang court is aimed at the world. Not only scholars within the jurisdiction of the Luoyang court can participate, but scholars abroad are also qualified to try their skills.
However, scholars outside the jurisdiction of the Luoyang imperial court cannot take the three military schools, and can only take the Jinshi exam on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of the first lunar month and the Xiyuan University exam on the 14th of February. Moreover, because they have not participated in the local trial, they must first take a supplementary trial in the Xiyuan University campus. Only after passing the supplementary trial can they be qualified to take the Jinshi exam and the university exam.
The subjects of the supplementary examination are the same as those required for the Jinshi examination. They are divided into two categories: literature and martial arts. Among them, the literary field tests Confucianism, military science, mathematics, history, and practical strategy. The martial arts field tests step shooting, riding shooting, spear, and swords and axes.
Needless to say, the difficulty is quite high!
Those who can pass the exam are not only academic masters, but also students with special sports talents. They must be Chen Yaoji, the negative textbook in "The Oil Selling Man", so that they can only have a high school Jinshi!
Although it is difficult to take the Jinshi exam, it still cannot stop the loyalty of the intellectuals of the landlord class wanting to be a hawk in the court!
So from the first year of Hongwu, a large number of martial arts schools appeared in the jurisdiction of the Luoyang court. After reviewing the classics of the saints and completing arithmetic exercises, they carried bows and arrows, axes, and a snake spears to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall.
It has been almost five years since Hongwu. After four or five years of martial arts, scholars from the Fourth Road of Yingtian and the Transportation Road of the Northern Song Dynasty (Luoyang Court) were also a little big and round, and they looked no different from the military soldiers.
However, those who came from outside the jurisdiction of the Luoyang imperial court, especially those who came from the Southern Song Dynasty, may not be proficient in martial arts.
In order to attract overseas talents to participate in the feudal construction of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai ordered people to open a comprehensive tutoring class for military, martial arts and mathematics on the campus of Xiyuan University. For students who have passed the "compensation test" (the requirements for martial arts are relatively low), they provide free and high-level tutoring classes.
As the end of the year approaches, the martial arts and military skills of the talents in the Xiyuan Tutoring Class have been greatly improved. They can basically ride horses without falling to the ground and shoot archers to aim. The best of them can even swing a few axes!
However, at the beginning of today's military cram school, the teacher who taught, Lu Baoshan, who was a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, announced in public a piece of news that surprised everyone: the practical plan for this imperial examination has been announced in advance! The title is "On Cannon".
At the same time, Mr. Lu also told everyone that the gentlemen of the Artillery Academy have already brought a long cannon weighing ten kilograms to Xiyuan Academy! Everyone can soon experience the power of the cannon at a close distance!
As soon as the news was announced, the class was in full swing!
"The Jinshi exam for cannons... This is really unheard of! Should we take the Jinshi exam or the artillery school?"
"No matter whether he is a Jinshi or an artillery school, he will be good at passing the exam... Luoyang emphasizes martial arts and rather than literary skills. The future of joining the army and playing artillery may be better than becoming a Jinshi!"
"It's all the same! The north is more important than martial arts than literary arts, and the south is more realistic! The literary and Jinshi in Jinling is not as good as the martial arts and Jinshi. Most of the literary and Jinshi in the second year of Jingkang are still elected, and most of the martial arts and Jinshi in the same year have become officials in Beijing, and several officials are even officials of the court!"
"I was not lucky and were beaten to death by the Jin thief! I said, the fundamental way for us scholars is still the way of a saint!"
"What's the point of talking about? This matter has to be decided by the officials... Learn civil and military skills well and sell them to the imperial family!"
On the two desks behind this class, two young scholars were sitting, both wearing moon-white shirts, and Dongpo towel was placed upright on the desk, revealing a head with a bun and a head with short hair.
The one who was combed with a serious and handsome young man, who was only about twenty years old, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes seemed to be able to see through people, and was extremely majestic.
The young man with short hair has a slender figure, agile eyebrows, fair skin, and a smile-like appearance, which is very friendly.
The two of them sat very close to the table, and they seemed to have a good relationship. They did not participate in the discussions, but whispered there.
The very friendly young man said to the extremely majestic young man: "Father Bin, when I was studying in Yanjing, I heard that the Southern Dynasties ships are strong and the people in your family are officials. You must have seen the benefits of the big ones? You will definitely be able to go to high school this time!"
His voice was lowered, and he almost touched the young man named "Binfu": "Don't forget me at that time. My articles are not good and my martial arts are also loose. I'm afraid I'll lose my name."
He heard his accent, it seemed that he was from Yandi. Judging from his hairstyle, he should have been shaved and was growing his hair. Now the Great Jin Kingdom has not begun to force Han men to bald, but the Khitans in Yandi, the Xi people have been bald all the time. Some of the Han tribes who defected to the Great Jin Kingdom also shaved the heads of the men of the entire tribe.
The man in Yan land had a short hair on his head, and he was obviously a Yan man with some identity. I don’t know if he was a Khitan, a Xi person, or a Han person?
"Brother Buyan is joking. Your family is from the Six Xi tribes. How can the bow, horse, riding and shooting be worse?" The young man named "Binfu" smiled and said, "It's me, Yu Yunwen, a Shu scholar, who was wandering in Jiangnan with his family. Although the articles are acceptable, his martial arts are really not good. I am afraid it will be difficult to get into the Jinshi. If I can enter the Xiyuan University, I will be content."
It turns out that this young man is named Yu Yunwen, a good name! It is definitely a must-win for this subject and a success.
No matter how unknown Zhao Kai didn't know the history of the Southern Song Dynasty in his previous life, he had heard of the figure of Yu Yunwen! He was Wanyan Liang's nemesis, and now he is here, how could he fail?
The short-haired Yan man who was familiar with Yu Yunwen was named Xiao Buyan. He claimed to be from the Xi Liu tribe. He lived in Yanjing for generations. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, he became a monk in Qingliangyuan. Until he heard that Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Great Liao Dynasty "had a father" and was an official in Luoyang of the Great Song Dynasty, so he returned to the south and came to join the Supreme Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty.
However, he did not find a way to become an official in Luoyang, so he had to go to Xiyuan University to participate in a tutoring class, thinking that he would have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination and make friends with a few Jinshi. In this way, after he graduated from college, he could find a good job at his Jinshi friend.
This young talented Yu Yunwen was very majestic, so she was naturally favored by Xiao Buyan. She worked hard to make friends and was about to become a disciple.
Now that he heard Yu Yunwen’s humble words, Xiao Buyan laughed and said, “Brother Bin’s talent is the best. The top scholars in today’s subject are very promising!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the previous top scorer on the podium, Lu Baoshan, who was currently the Siye of Xiyuan University, picked up the gavel and took a photo. With a "click", the whole class became quiet.
Everyone knew that Lu Baoshan had something to say, so they turned their eyes and saw a warrior with a long hat and a long sword hanging on his waist appeared beside Lu Baoshan at some point.
Lu Baoshan smiled and pointed to the warrior beside him, "This is Huang Siye, the Artillery Academy. Today I brought the cannon to demonstrate to us... The opportunity is only this time, and you have to read it carefully so that you can do a good job."
Huang Siye is Huang Wubing. He is now Siye of the Artillery Academy and Yue Fei's deputy. He also participated in the compilation of the "Grade Cannon Measures", barely enough to be a great scholar.
Today he was ordered to bring a new 20-distance long cannon weighing 10 kilograms to Xiyuan University to scare scholars.
He knew that there must be detailed works from the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Jin Dynasty in Xiyuan University Hall - Zhao Kai allowed "foreigners" to take the imperial examinations, and of course he also knew that there would be detailed works coming in. However, Zhao Kai didn't care, and he also planned to use these detailed works to intimidate the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Jin Dynasty.
That's why he took special care of Yue Fei and pulled out the most powerful 10-pound long cannon in his hand to take a closer look!
In the face of justice and justice of a 10-jin long cannon, all conspiracies and tricks are useless!
Huang Wubing looked at the "detailed suspects" below and said expressionlessly: "Let's take a look, let's take a look one by one, then look at the test firing together, and test firing four bombs in total... You have to look carefully! By the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, you will have to write an article with the cannon as the title!"
The students in the classroom were so excited that they all stood up, put the scholar's towel on their heads, tidied up their Yuebai Confucian shirts, and then followed Lu Baoshan and Huang Wubing to the university campus.
Yu Yunwen and Xiao Buyan also stood up and walked at the end of the team together. Their expressions were a bit complicated. Xiao Buyan said while walking: "The world is unified by cannons... If there is no benefit of cannons, we may not be able to live in the life of unification of three points!"
Not to mention, his words are very reasonable. In Chinese history, the period of great division started for at least decades. If it were not for the power of cannon powder, it would not be so easy to break the situation of separatist and division and form unification.
Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "What a world that is unified by cannons. Brother Buyan is really insightful! Why not just write an article on this topic, maybe you will be a high school Jinshi."
Xiao Buyan smiled and said, "Then Brother Yu borrowed the auspicious words of his father and brother Bin... I wonder what his father and brother Bin want to write?"
