Chapter 132 The Rules of the Academy 【Request】

The few scholars came straight to Li Huan and Wang Yangming, their purpose was extremely clear, and their feet were like the wind as they walked, no matter how slow Li Huan and Wang Yangming's reactions were, they could still feel it.

What's more, the hostility of these scholars is so clear. Li Huan and Wang Yangming are rare powerhouses in the world. If they can't even detect this bit of hostility, wouldn't their cultivation be in vain?

After a pause, Li Huan first exchanged glances with Wang Yangming, and then they both looked at the few scholars who came over.

The leader looks to be about thirty years old, and he is considered an elder among a group of scholars, so he is faintly the leader of these scholars.

Wu Shi'an is a native of Songjiang Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. His family has been in business for generations, and he is a well-known local gentry.

When a businessman has money, the first thing he thinks about is how to protect his family business, so he starts to set up a family study, paying a high price to hire talents who have landed in the family to teach the children of the family. Do your best to support him to take the road of imperial examination.

Wu Shi'an is the most outstanding among the direct descendants of the Wu family. He was a high school graduate in the 17th year of Hongzhi, and he can be regarded as a student with a reputation.

It's just that Wu Shi'an's luck was exhausted when he was admitted to Juren, but he failed in the next exam, and failed to achieve his wish as a high school Jinshi.

Only by being admitted as a Jinshi can one have a bright future in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, just raising one's body will not go far in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Wu Shi'an spent money to entrust his relationship, gave money, and finally entered the world-famous Songyang Academy.

Not only is this Songyang Academy famous all over the world, but also the gentlemen in it are all officials who used to be high school Jinshi, and there is even a servant of the third rank who gives lectures and teaches here.

Whether it is to learn knowledge that will help you in your scientific examinations here, or to use the relationship of the famous gentlemen in the academy to enter the officialdom one day, or to make a group of like-minded friends in this academy. , so that they can take care of each other when they enter the officialdom in the future.

Anyway, all the students who can enter here have their own goals and calculations, so despite the fact that Songyang Academy seems to have a large number of students, in fact, every student who enters here has his own origin and background.

And these scholars are also very concerned about all the people who enter Songyang Academy, but whenever there are newcomers entering the academy, they will definitely be the object of attention of many students.

It is conceivable that when Li Huan and Wang Yangming entered the academy, how many scholars paid attention to them.

Wu Shi'an walked up to the two of them, and looked up and down Li Huan and Wang Yangming. It seemed that he didn't see any scholarly temperament from Li Huan, so Wu Shi'an couldn't help shouting at Li Huan: "Who are you, don't you know that this is Songyang Academy, a place where sages teach and educate, not a place where ordinary people can enter and leave at will."

He pointed at the door and said, "You two, please leave."

Li Huan ignored Wu Shi'an and the others, instead he looked at Wang Yangming with a smile and said, "Mr. Yangming, do you think we should go in?"

Seeing Li Huan's smiling face, Wang Yangming couldn't help sighing softly, stepped forward to Wu Shi'an and the others, and said, "Everyone, my lord, Wang Shouren, is also a scholar who has admired the name of Songyang Academy for a long time. ..."

Wu Shi'an couldn't help looking Wang Yangming up and down when he heard the words, and finally said: "Oh, so you are also a scholar, but who told you that you can enter and leave Songyang Academy at will if you are a scholar. This is the holy place for scholars of my generation. Without the status of a scholar, don't even think about stepping into the gate of Songyang Academy."

Obviously, Wang Yangming is not the sage of the later generation who became famous all over the world. He has just integrated what he has learned and has not yet started to teach and recruit disciples to spread the theory of mind. Therefore, these scholars have never heard of Wang Yangming's name.

Li Huan on the side couldn't help laughing, looked at Wang Yangming with great interest, and thought in his heart, after decades, if Wang Yangming's name will be famous all over the world, if the scholar who scolded Wang Yangming is still alive, I don't know what to feel in my heart.

Wang Yangming was not angry, but just sighed: "The sage educates all living beings, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning. How come you talk about high and low? Does it mean that we cannot enter Songyang Academy because we are not scholars?"

A scholar next to him immediately said in disdain: "You are not even a scholar, but you still want to enter Songyang Academy, which is simply tarnishing this holy place."

Wang Yangming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at several scholars and said, "I also invite the courtyard here to come and say that the unknown scholar wants to ask him for advice."

Seeing Wang Yangming's extraordinary demeanor, especially when he was angry, the appearance of not being angry and self-important calmed down several scholars.

These scholars look at me and I look at you. Suddenly, Wu Shian looked at Wang Yangming and Li Huan with disdain and said, "If you want to see Mr. Yuanzheng, you are not qualified. The magistrate of Dengfeng County is here, whether Mr. Yuanzheng wants to see him or not depends on his mood."

Wu Shi'an said to the strong servants who rushed over upon hearing the news, "You guys drive these two out of the holy place of the academy quickly, don't pollute the saint's place."

Several men dressed in servant clothes immediately pushed Li Huan and Wang Yangming with angry faces and said, "Get out, don't look at who you are. Those who can enter here are future officials. I also want to enter it, it's just delusional."

Neither Li Huan nor Wang Yangming really expected to come here on a whim, such an encounter.

Ordinary people think that Songyang Academy is famous all over the world, and it is a sacred place for scholars. The atmosphere must be very good, but they never thought that ordinary people would not even be able to enter the gate of Songyang Academy when they come here.

The strength on Li Huan's body trembled slightly, and the man who was about to push him out was suddenly shaken by a strong force and fell to the ground.

Wang Yangming was not as straightforward as Li Huan, he just stood there, no matter what the other party tried to pull, he couldn't shake Wang Yangming in the slightest.

Li Huan looked at the scholars coming around and couldn't help chuckling: "Interesting, interesting, Li Mou has opened his eyes today. This kind of student, this kind of heart, this is the old man who taught all the students without distinction. Songyang Academy?"

Even Wang Yangming had a look of disappointment on his face.

After all, the name of Songyang Academy has been famous for thousands of years, but if any scholar says that he has no fantasies about it, he must be lying.

It's just that Wang Yangming never imagined that after thousands of years, Songyang Academy would become like this.

Seeing that Li Huan actually knocked down the servant who drove him to the ground, Wu Shi'an couldn't help being taken aback, and after realizing it, he couldn't help but angrily said to Li Huan: "How dare you, the academy is important, how can you be so rude and rampant."

Hearing the commotion, many scholars rushed over, and soon gathered no less than a hundred people, and the hundreds of people were densely packed, only Li Huan and Wang Yangming were surrounded.

After figuring out what was going on, these scholars who either entrusted their relationship or spent money to come in suddenly looked at Li Huan and Wang Yangming with contempt and disgust.

They paid such a high price to come in. If Li Huan and Wang Yangming could come in and out casually, wouldn't they be at a loss?
I don't know who yelled, and immediately a group of people pointed at Li Huan and Wang Yangming and shouted: "Get out, get out of the academy! You are not worthy..."

Li Huan looked at these scholars with a calm expression. With his character so far, if one day he really gets a title on the gold list and a high school Jinshi, how can he expect these people to benefit the people of the world!

Seeing the reactions of these scholars, Wang Yangming couldn't help but secretly made up his mind that one day he would definitely follow the example of the sages and educate the common people regardless of family status or family background.

Naturally, Li Huan didn't know that Wang Yangming was stimulated by this scene and made the decision to give lectures in the future.

At this moment, a majestic and somewhat old voice came: "Nonsense, you guys gather here and make a lot of noise, do you still know the rules of the academy?"

The group of people who were yelling at Li Huan and Wang Yangming immediately shut their mouths, and voluntarily moved out of the way.

And Li Huan and Wang Yangming also saw the visitor, who was wearing a Confucian robe, high crown, long sleeves, gray sideburns, stroking his beard, and an extraordinary bearing, especially the official authority on his body, which clearly showed that he had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom for a long time. officialdom.

Wu Shi'an and the others hurriedly saluted the visitor and said, "Students have met Mr. Meng!"

Meng Guang stroked his beard, glanced at Wu Shi'an and the others indifferently, and finally landed on Li Huan and Wang Yangming.

How can the eyesight of Wu Shi'an and other students be comparable to that of Wu Shi'an and other students? At a glance, Li Huan and Wang Yangming can see the extraordinary temperament of Li Huan and Wang Yangming.

Frowning, Meng Guang glanced at Wu Shi'an and the others and said, "What's going on, why are you making so much noise?"

Wu Shi'an quickly explained, and finally said: "The disciples just wanted to invite them to leave. I never thought that they would actually hurt the servants, and even stayed in the academy and refused to leave."

Meng Guang cupped his hands towards Li Huan and Wang Yangming and said, "I teach Meng Guang at Xia Songyang Academy, and he was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang. I don't know what to call you two?"

Li Huan glanced at Meng Guang lightly and said, "Li Huan!"

Wang Yangming bowed back and said, "I'm going to Wang Shouren, Yuyao, Zhejiang."

Meng Guang went through the names of the two in his mind, and found that he had no impression of them, so he let go of his heart.

As long as it is not the few high-ranking officials and dignitaries in his impression, then even if the two are officials or the children of dignitaries, with the influence of their academy and the connections between the principal and the professors, they are really not afraid of anything.

Meng Guang nodded slightly and said: "From Meng's point of view, why are these two extraordinary people disturbing the order of the academy and disturbing the students here to study essays?"

Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Li is a bit strange, when did Songyang Academy not allow outsiders to enter, when did this rule be made?"

Meng Guang frowned and said: "This place is Songyang Academy, the rules are naturally determined by our Songyang Academy, the two of you are not from our academy, please leave now!"

Li Huan was surprised: "Oh, so the academy has become a private place, but what if we insist on going in?"

Meng Guang looked cold and said: "Why don't you two listen to the persuasion? If you leave now, you will stop the matter of hurting the people in my academy. Otherwise, I will submit a handwritten letter to the magistrate of Dengfeng County. Punish one of you for hurting people."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing, looked at Wang Yangming who was speechless, and said to Meng Guang: "If you say that, Li really wants to see if you can really summon a majestic county magistrate with a handwritten letter." .”

Wu Shi'an and others couldn't help looking at Meng Guang excitedly. Didn't they come to the academy because of the connections of the professors, Yuanzheng and others in the academy?

Seeing Meng Guang saying that a handwriting could summon the local magistrate, how could these scholars not be excited and looking forward to it.

Wang Yangming couldn't help showing a bit of hesitation when he saw it, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter, because he really couldn't grasp Li Huan's mind.

On the contrary, Meng Guang was a little hesitant by Li Huan's reaction, because he couldn't see Li Huan's origin, but when Meng Guang saw the hesitation flashing across Wang Yangming's face, his eyes lit up immediately, It is to regard Wang Yangming's hesitation as a reaction of guilt and fear.

In addition, a group of scholars around him looked at him expectantly, obviously wanting to see how his connections are.

Meng Guangdang even took out a copy of his name card from his cuff and handed it to a servant: "Ride a fast horse immediately to ask the magistrate of Dengfeng, and say that Meng asked him to come to justice for my Songyang Academy. "

The servant accepted the name card and left.

Many scholars directly looked at Li Huan and Wang Yangming with a kind of pity. In their opinion, when the magistrate of Dengfeng came, Li Huan and Wang Yangming would have to go to the prison in Dengfeng. If there is any relationship, you may suffer less, if it is not, a prison disaster is inevitable anyway.

At this moment Wang Yangming couldn't help but whispered to Li Huan: "Master Li, why do you need to have the same knowledge as these people?"

Li Huan said slowly: "Mr. Yangming thinks that Li is haggling with them?"

During this journey, Wang Yangming asked himself that he knew a little about Li Huan, and he knew that Li Huan was not a narrow-minded villain who would take revenge as rumored.

Wang Yangming said puzzledly: "Then, my lord, you really want to..."

Li Huan said with a light smile: "Mr. Yangming, don't you think our business is too ordinary? If you go to the southeast in such an ordinary way, wouldn't you be sorry for His Majesty's special right to kill first and then play later?"

Wang Yangming's expression changed drastically when he heard the words: "My lord...you don't want to kill people, do you? Although these people are wrong, no matter how you say it, the crime is not worthy of death!"

As he said that, Wang Yangming stared at Li Huan with a serious face and said, "If your lord intends to kill, please forgive Wang for not agreeing. I will definitely report to the Son of Heaven and impeach you."

Li Huan laughed out loud, and this loud laugh only stunned the scholars not far away, and even thought that Li Huan was flustered.

Only Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan solemnly.

Striding forward, Li Huan looked at the building complex hidden among the green mountains and green waters, and said with great emotion: "What a wonderful place, the holy place of culture and education passed down for thousands of years has become a place where filth is hidden. It is really an insult to the sages."

Hearing Li Huan's words, not only the complexion of the group of scholars changed drastically, they stared at Li Huan angrily, even the instructor Meng Guang also stared at Li Huan with an ugly expression.

What did Li Huan mean by that? He almost pointed at them and yelled at them.What is filth, who is filth, and who is filth!

Meng Guang said anxiously: "Take care of them, and today we must ask the county magistrate to send this madman to prison."

"Yes, yes, they must not be easily spared. They dare to humiliate us scholars like this, and even dare to slander the place where the holy man taught as a place where filth is hidden. If the county magistrate does not punish them severely, we will all go to the top Feng the county government to seek justice from the county magistrate."

The distance from Songyang Academy to the Dengfeng County Government Office is only a dozen miles, and if you rush, it will take less than an hour to go back and forth.

It was obvious that Meng Guang was not boasting, the servant brought his name card to ask for an interview, and indeed he met the magistrate of Dengfeng right away.

Sun Hong, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, was shocked when he learned that someone dared to commit murder and hurt people in Songyang Academy.

He knows the importance of those people in Songyang Academy. Yuanzheng is the censor of Zuodu who became an official during the Hongzhi period. A letter can alarm the veterans of the cabinet. Besides, there are not a dozen professors in the academy. For those with simple identities, it can be said that these people really unite, and the network of relationships can really spread all over the six yamen of the court.

If he really offended these people, his little magistrate of Dengfeng might end up with it.

Sun Hong ordered the servants of the government office almost immediately, and rushed all the way to Songyang Academy.

When he saw the gate of the academy, the anxious Sun Hong, who was sweating profusely, almost ran into the academy, fearing that if he came a step late, there would be unmanageable chaos.

Of course, the unmanageable mess was aimed at him, the county magistrate. As for the academy, it was a big problem, and it was nothing in front of the academy and the teaching network.

However, Sun Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a group of people surrounded the two figures in the middle, and nothing that he was worried about happened.

Sun Hong rushed over, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially those scholars who were studying, they were very excited when they saw Sun Hong coming here panting and panicking, obviously the other party really It was because of Meng Guang's famous post that he came here in a hurry.

A famous post easily recruited a magistrate from a place. This is the personal connections and influence that the academy teachers have, and they are also pursuing by trying to enter the academy.

After straightening his clothes, Sun Hong stepped forward and cupped his hands at Meng Guang: "Master Meng, Mr. Sun is late."

Meng Guang clasped his fists at Sun Hong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. Your Excellency is waiting for my parents. I am disturbing you this time. Please, please be fair to all the students of Songyang Academy."

Sun Hong nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely uphold justice for all the students."

While speaking, Sun Hong's eyes fell on Li Huan and Wang Yangming, and the smiles on his faces disappeared immediately, and he shouted at them with a strong official authority: "Bold madman, how dare you do it in the holy place of the academy?" Hurt innocent people, can you be convicted of crime?"

Without waiting for any reaction from Li Huan and Wang Yangming, Sun Hong shouted to the guards behind him: "Come on, I won't let my lord take down these two lunatics!"

Looking at Sun Hong, Li Huan couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "Your Excellency is really a good official who makes decisions for the people!"

Sun Hong said seriously: "If you have anything to say, let's wait until you are in prison!"

As he said that, Sun Hong yelled at the guard: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take him down for me?"

At this moment, Wang Yangming couldn't help sighing and shook his head, while Li Huan smiled at Wang Yangming, and at the same time his face turned cold, and he yelled at Sun Hong: "Bold Sun Hong, you won't kneel down when you see this imperial envoy!"

This broken drink exploded in Sun Hong's ears like thunder.

Sun Hong was a little dazed, his face was full of astonishment, he looked at Meng Guang and the others, then at Li Huan and Wang Yangming who looked chilled, and said almost instinctively: "What a madman, how dare you pretend to be an imperial envoy? It's a capital offense."

The guards subconsciously looked at Sun Hong, apparently asking for instructions on whether to arrest him or not.

Just when Sun Hong was about to give an order, he saw a group of Jinyi guards rushing over at the gate of the academy. Originally, Li Huan and Wang Yangming came to Songyang Academy, although they brought Jinyiwei with them, they were asked to rest in the forest outside the academy.

Originally, Chen Yao and the others were resting in the forest, but Sun Hong and his party came in a hurry, and the noise was so loud that they obviously alarmed Chen Yao and the others.

Chen Yao, who faintly sensed something was wrong, led people to rush towards the academy, and when he heard Li Huan's shout, Chen Yao and others rushed directly into the academy.

When Chen Yao saw a group of scholars surrounding Li Huan and Wang Yangming, more than a dozen guards took out their shackles, as if they wanted to lock them up.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yao didn't even think about it, and he just shouted: "Bold, the imperial envoy is in front of you, and you will besiege the imperial envoy with weapons, can't you rebel?"

"Jin...Jin Yiwei!"

As soon as more than a dozen Jinyiwei came out, Sun Hong, Meng Guang and others were dumbfounded.

Jin Yiwei's vicious reputation is well known to the world, and it is really difficult to find out how many people dare to impersonate Jin Yiwei, especially the capable appearance of the other party, and the aura of not entering the stranger, a discerning eye can tell the truth from the fake at a glance.

When Chen Yao stopped drinking, Sun Hong's head almost exploded. He suddenly raised his head to look at Li Huan and Wang Yangming, remembering what Li Huan said just now.

For some reason, Sun Hong's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees in front of Li Huan and Wang Yangming with a plop under the attention of everyone.

"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"

Just looking at Sun Hong's embarrassed appearance, he knew that Sun Hong was scared out of his wits by Jin Yiwei, almost crying.

For a while, the scholars also looked dull, looking at the magistrate of Dengfeng who was kneeling in front of Li Huan, Wang Yangming and the others.
