"Look, you're usually illiterate, but now you don't know anything! Do you want to learn to read and write with me?”
Wu let go of Yun brother's shoulder, bent over and said.
"I still have my old father at home. He's all relying on me to support him. I don't have the time to read with you!" Yun Ge shook his head and pushed Wu Song's hand away.
"How can you practice martial arts with me?" Wu Song said coldly.
The reason why Wu Song seduced this young man and wanted to take him in as his disciple was because this kid was called Brother Yun, and he was the companion of Water Margins Middle School and Martial Arts University.
Although he was selling pears now, who knew: Wouldn't this guy be a good man in the future?
The world boxing champion of the philippines, Manny Pacquiao, was a doughnut seller!
"No." Yun Ge said decisively.
"Keep the change." Wu Song threw the money into Brother Yun's basket and turned to leave.
Seeing that this kid did not know how to appreciate favors, he could not be bothered to argue with this pear seller anymore!
Yun Ge picked up the silver and bit it. Seeing that it was real, he was overjoyed.
Looking at Wu Song's back, he muttered,""This person is really strange. Selling pears to him and he wants me to learn from him. You're a civil servant and a martial servant. Who knows if you're a human trafficker or not!”
"Selling pears, crisp pears, fragrant and sweet crisp pears…"
The news of Wu Song catching and slipping the tiger spread like wildfire, spreading around Yang Valley like a clap of thunder.
"Hidden Prime Minister, there has been a strange thing that has been spreading throughout the city.”In the yamen, Yang Gu Ling said to a superior officer.
This superior was Liang Shicheng, known as the Hidden Prime Minister. He, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhu Wei, and Li Yan were known as the Six Thieves.
This time, he came to inspect the flood, so he asked the imperial edict to preside over the imperial examination.
In this era, every time the imperial court gave out rewards, those top officials would fight to get the imperial edict to preside over the imperial examinations. They said that they were recruiting talents for the country, but in fact, they were recruiting disciples for themselves!
"What is it? It was even spread all over the city.”Liang Shicheng said disdainfully.
"Hidden Prime Minister, you might not know this, but there was a scholar who was rushing to take the examination. He met an evil tiger on the way. Not only was he not eaten by the tiger, but he even tamed the tiger and is now living in the city with it.”Yang Gu Ling said.
"What is it? Nonsense! I've only heard of killing tigers, but never of subduing them.”Liang Shicheng couldn't believe it.
It was just like how others couldn't believe that he was Su Dongpo's son!
Although Liang Shicheng claimed to be Su Shi's son, he was a eunuch.
Although he was a eunuch, he was also one of the Six Thieves! Concealment! His disciples were all over the world, so he came out to recruit disciples and grand-disciples!
He wasn't an ordinary eunuch. He was like Zhao Gao and Zheng He, with a proper official position! They were not like the eunuchs of the East and West Chambers in the future.
"The Hidden Image is absolutely true. This person was Qinghe Wu Song. This guy's bravery was famous far and near!”
"This…If that's the case, I should befriend this scholar.”Liang Shicheng said as he stroked his beardless chin.
"The Hidden Prime should indeed befriend him. I heard that this fellow treats a tiger as a pet and walks around!”Yang Gu Ling continued to flatter.
"Then call him over. I want to see this person.”
Liang Shicheng said.
"I'll do it now." The Yang Valley Token bowed and retreated.
"Wait, forget it! Since I'm here to take the exam, if I see you now, people will definitely gossip!
Capturing the tiger could only show that he was brave. As for Wen Cai, he would have to wait until the imperial examination to see the true story.
No matter how powerful this person was, if he didn't have Wen Cai, he was just a martial artist.”Just as the Sun Valley Token was about to leave the door, Liang Shicheng suddenly said regretfully.
"Then, then I will take my leave."
"Mm, alright. You officials below must also remember: This dynasty values literature over martial arts. Martial artists are martial artists after all! It can't be considered elegant."
"I will remember it."
Weak Song valued literature over martial arts. Martial artists like Wu Song were depressed and frustrated everywhere.
After a long period of education, not only did the common people form the concept of a good man not being a soldier, a good iron not being nailed.
In the eyes of the civil officials, the generals were inferior to the scholars. The concept that generals were inferior to dogs!
During the Three Kingdoms Era, men generally idolized fierce men like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. However, the weak Song Dynasty idolized Deng Tong, Dong Xian, Pan An, and the others.
Thus, although there were people like Zhou Dong, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong, they could only be bullied by the Liao, Jin, Mongol, and Xixia countries! Because most of them were still weak scholars, full of sissy.
Because the five dynasties that Zhao Kuangyin had passed on were all established by generals, in order to prevent the generals from destroying his Great Song, he not only made a cup of wine to give up military power, but also made a national policy that valued civil affairs over military power.
This caused the Central Plains Dynasty to be bullied by foreign races every time after the Song Dynasty. It could be said that Kuang Yin was the one who messed up China!
Under the tree, the tiger was sleeping on the ground. Wu Song was reading a book by the tree. When he saw Hua Zixu coming over, he hurriedly stood up and asked.
"Zixu, how's the investigation going?”
"I asked someone to inquire. The main examiner this time is the hidden minister, Liang Shicheng.”Hua Zixu said proudly.
Although his family was a eunuch family, his remarkable abilities had always been his pride.
"Liang Shicheng!" Wu Song was shocked.
"What is it, Brother Wu?"
"N-nothing." Wu Song responded casually.
"Then I still have something to do, so I'll excuse myself first.”Hua Zixu cupped his hands and left.
"I really didn't expect it to be that eunuch Liang Shicheng!”Wu Song looked at Hua Zixu's back and muttered to himself.
The reason why he didn't want to sigh in front of Hua Zixu was because Hua Zixu's father was also a eunuch!
Although this Liang Shicheng was a eunuch, he was outstanding in his literary talent and thus was favored and trusted by the Emperor.
The most popular thing about this person was: This eunuch claimed to be Su Shi's wandering son!
When he saw the literary giants, he said that he was born from his father, Su Shi, who slept with a maid. When his father was demoted, he gave this pregnant maid to a friend surnamed Liang before he left. After that, he gave birth to a son, Liang Shicheng!
However, he didn't say how he had entered the palace and become a eunuch!
As Su Shi was from the old party, when the new party gained power, his articles were banned. Even Su Shi's articles among the people were destroyed.
However, after Liang Shicheng was favored, he cried to the Emperor,""What crime did my ancestors commit? Even the articles are not allowed to be circulated among the people…"
After that, Su Shi's articles slowly spread among the people.
Although he claimed to be Su Shi's son, Su Shi had already passed away, so there was no evidence!
As for the Smiths, they were all unfilial sons. They were in no hurry to split the assets! How could he have the energy to investigate this kind of gossip for the Emperor?
On the other hand, Liang Shicheng had visited the Su family a few times. A eunuch sitting in his position could be related to a literary giant, which would allow him to better manage the civil officials in the court.
Which noble person didn't have illustrious ancestors?
Zhu Zhongba, who was begging for food with a broken bowl, even recognized Zhu Xi as his ancestor!
