Why would Jiang Tianlong appear in Baihe County? This was really a strange thing to see a stalk of sorghums growing on ten mu of land.

It wasn't strange, but it wasn't strange either! It was because Wei She, one of Wei Wei's four bodyguards, was killed by Zhao Zhen with a guillotine. A young man named Wu Xian took over Wei She's position.

There seemed to be a deeper meaning to the change from "Cold Light in All Directions" to "Cold Light in All Directions".

Wu Xian was a young scholar from Baihe County. He was 22 years old this year.

When Wu Xian was 16 years old, he studied in Baihe County. In the future, he would be the top scholar in Baihe County.

After the county school, he would go to the state school. After graduating from the state school, he would go to the Imperial College in the capital.

Wu Xian had a smooth journey, but the weather was unpredictable, and people had good fortune. Wu Xian was smart and fell.

The imperial examination system of the Northern Song Dynasty went through Fan Zhongyan's "Qingli School", Wang Anshi's "Xining School", and then Cai Jing's "Chongning School". The Chinese national school model was initially formed.

After the Song Dynasty, the Yuan, Ming, Qing and even the current era, the school foundation did not break away from the "Chongning School" model.

The dynasties had only perfected and improved the scale of Chongning School.

Cai Jing was the leader of Chongning School, and the main content was:

1. All prefectures and counties have schools. County schools also set up primary schools, in the local schools to implement the three-room method.

County students can be promoted to the state school, state students can pay tribute to the Imperial College.

At this point, a network of schools had been formed all over the country. Whether it was in terms of quantity, scale, or distribution, it far exceeded any previous school.

2. Expanding the Imperial College. In the first year of Chongning (1102), the Imperial College was built in the southern suburbs of the capital and was named Piyong.

The Imperial College specializes in the upper and inner houses, and the outer school specializes in the outer houses.

When all the tribute scholars first arrived, they also entered the external school. After passing the examination, they could be added to the upper and inner houses before they could officially enter the Imperial College.

3. To replace the imperial examination with schools. In the third year of Chongning (1104), the imperial examination was abolished, and all scholars were promoted to tribute by the school. Every year, the examination was the same as the examination method of the Ministry of Rites. The following year, 35 students were given the first place, and later the imperial examination was carried out in parallel with the selection of houses.

In the third year of Xuanhe (1121), the old imperial examination system was restored, but the Imperial College still retained the system of Chongning.

4. Set up specialized schools. Chongning three years (1104) set up calligraphy, painting, mathematics and other professional schools, using the Imperial College Sanshe method to select scholars.

The painting school of Chongning period was the only specialized art school in ancient China.

Wu Xian's family was well-off, and entering the county school was the hope of everyone.

Wu Xian was calm and magnanimous, and his academic performance had always been top-notch. It was understandable that he would be promoted from a county school to a state school.

However, Wu Xian had a fatal weakness and could not withstand the temptation of beauty. Because he had an affair with the third aunt of Xie Xuezheng, the official in charge of education in the county, he was caught in bed.

Xie Xuezheng let the servants send Wu Xian to the county government and put him in prison.

Wu Xian spent a year in prison and lost the opportunity to advance into the officialdom.

After Wu Xian was released from prison, he hated society and wandered to Baihe County to learn martial arts from Wang Mazi. After he graduated, he joined Wei Wei's Godly Might Army.

Wu Xian was talented and had excellent martial arts. After Wei She was killed, Wei Wei asked him to fill in the gap.

After Jiang Tianlong arranged for three waves of cavalry to go to Tokyo, Jingzhao Prefecture, Huazhou, and Baihe County to ask for help, he and Tian Qi brought the Four Glittering Lights and four other guards to Mount Shaohua. They planned to fire arrows at the loyalty army camp to contact Chen Da.

The arrow had four argot words written on the paper, and it was tied to the arrow, intending to shoot:

Cai Zhou of the Song Dynasty is in Runan

The soldiers set out from Taihu Lake, but the sky was not seen.

The royal army set the sun of Yan Yun in the north

Holding the imperial edict, analyzing the rivers and mountains of Tianjin

After Jiang Tianlong finished writing the four lines of the poem, he thought that he had gotten it right and handed it over to Tian Qi, Zhang Han, Wang Guang, and Li Si.

These people were all white and illiterate. After looking at them one by one, Zhang Han flattered,"Lord Jiang is well-educated and knowledgeable. His poems are better than Li Du's!”

Tian Qi was dissatisfied with Zhang Han's flattery and rolled his eyes at him: "Even flattery can't be so ridiculous. Four lines better than Li Du? Why can't I tell?"

Seven Fields spoke the truth, but Zhang Han actually didn't see anything. He was only focused on bootlicking.

Jiang Tianlong saw that Tian Qi and the others couldn't see the true meaning of the poem, so he handed the paper to Wu Xian and said,""Brother Wu Xian, come and take a look. If you can see the true meaning, then it means that your eyes are very extraordinary!”

Wu Xian held the note in his hand and looked at it a few times. He smiled embarrassedly and said,"Lord Jiang's argot poem is a metaphor for Grand Tutor Cai's imperial edict!”

Jiang Tianlong turned pale with fright. How could he have thought that Wu Xian would be able to see through the true meaning of the argot poem with just a few glances?

Tian Qi Lai, Zhang Han, Wang Guang, and Li Si were all dumbstruck when they heard Wu Xian shout out the words "Grand Tutor Cai's edict".

Jiang Tianlong stared at Wu Xian and sneered."Little Brother Wu Xian is indeed talented, but can you explain it?”

"That's easy!" Wu Xian said disdainfully.”

As Wu Xian said this, he began to dissect them one by one."In the first sentence, Cai Zhou of the Great Song Dynasty is in Runan, and it contains the word Cai. In the second sentence, when the soldiers set out from Taihu Lake, they did not see the word "too" in the sky. The imperial teacher in the sentence of 'The imperial teacher holds the imperial edict and analyses the rivers and mountains.' The imperial edict in the sentence of 'The imperial teacher holds the imperial edict and analyses the rivers and mountains.' All of these are the bones of the sentence, and together, they are the imperial edict of Grand Tutor Cai!”

Wu Xian explained in a grand manner and said,"Lord Jiang's four-line argot poem is full of literary grace. The names of Caizhou, Runan, Taihu, Yanyun, and Xijin all have their origins. It seems that Lord Jiang is a well-read person!”

Jiang Tianlong was so pleased by Wu Xian's words that his heart felt as if it had been washed over by clear water.

"Since the Wu brothers said that the names of the places have their origins, why don't you tell us about it and let us all broaden our horizons!"”

Wu Xian didn't decline. He raised his arm and said,"The ancestor of mankind, Fuxi, drew a hexagram on the shore of the Cai River because yarrow grass grew in the Cai area, so he named it Cai. In the 11th century B.C., King Wu of Zhou granted his younger brother Shudu to Cai and established the State of Cai. He took the state as his surname and passed it down for 18 generations for nearly 500 years. It was called Shangcai in history. Shangcai County now belonged to the Huai Kang Army of Runan. It was very subtle for Lord Jiang to use the name of Shangcai and Runan to highlight the word Cai!”

Jiang Tianlong smiled and nodded at Wu Xian.

Wu Xian continued," The second sentence quoted the name of Lake Tai, and the prominent word is Tai. It must have been attacked by the imperial court. Liangshan Lake 108 will suffer heavy casualties!"”

Jiang Tian's eyes widened. He didn't say yes or no.

" In the third sentence, the imperial army pacified Yanyun. Yanyun refers to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which has been the sore point of the emperors since the Song Dynasty. The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were occupied by the Khitans. The Khitans 'cavalry constantly harassed the Central Plains, and the people on the border suffered!”

After Wu Xian finished the third sentence, he swallowed deeply and said,""In the fourth sentence, the word 'Zhao' stands out. Xijin is Yanjing, which is still occupied by the Khitans. The Song Dynasty must seize Xijin and unify the rivers and mountains!”

Wu Xian chattered on and on for a long time, and said in a flattering tone,"Lord Jiang has lofty aspirations. If he can become an official in the capital, his future will be boundless…"

Jiang Tianlong was so flattered by Wu Xian that he didn't know what to say. He said without hesitation,"If this Jiang can be summoned by grandfather to be an official in the capital, the first person he will bring will be Brother Wu Xian!”

Wu Xian laughed loudly. Jiang Tianlong glanced at him and said,"If that's the case, Chen Da must know the meaning behind the four lines of argot poems that were shot at Mount Shaohua!”

Wu Xian was stunned. He waved his arm and said," You must not shoot. Shi Bin and Zhu Wu of Mount Shaohua are not ordinary people. Once they read the words 'Grand Tutor Cai's edict, they will definitely search for spies in the stronghold. If that happens, Chen Da will be doomed. Wouldn't Lord Jiang be making things worse?"”

Jiang Tianlong was a little unhappy when he heard Wu Xian say that he had outsmarted himself. He muttered,"This kid is stepping on my nose! What do you mean by self-defeating?"

Wu Xian was a little unhappy that he had used the word " outsmarted " and felt that he had poured rain on the barren land.

Wu Xian was a smart person. He knew that officials in the Great Song Dynasty were superior to others. Officials liked to pat their horses and mustaches. Words that were unpleasant to the ear were often taken as donkey's liver and lungs.

In order to maintain his position, Wu Xian changed the topic and bowed."This lowly one had just said something that made things worse. This is an immature performance. I hope Your Excellency can forgive me!”

Jiang Tianlong was not a muddle-headed person like Wei Wei. Hearing Wu Xian's words, he chuckled and said,"Little Brother Wu, don't worry. This Jiang just wants to hear your opinion.”

" Give up on shooting at Mount Shaohua!" "Hurry to Baihe County and settle Chen Da!" Wu Xian said bluntly.”

Wu Xian's words shocked Jiang Tianlong. Jiang Tianlong had only read out the hidden poem and knew that his grandfather had planted Chen Da as a spy in Mount Shaohua. However, he could not confirm who Chen Da was. He had to wait for Zhang Yang and the rest to get the answer from his grandfather in Tokyo.

Jiang Tianlong could not wait for Zhang Yang to return to Mount Shaohua and decided to take a risk. However, he was defeated by Wu Xian…
