Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 136 Summoned
Huang Fengfu got drunk in Meilou, this was the first time he had come to such a place.

He is a boy from Jiangning, he is 20 years old this year, but he still can't pass the exam as a scholar.

His family is not considered wealthy, and he does a small business. Apart from studying, he also helps his father in business.

But Huangfeng Mansion was not willing to go on like this. This time the scholars made a fuss, and he also joined in, hoping to make friends with some famous people.

That's why he boldly stopped the talented Mao Xiang from introducing himself in front of the Meixiang Tower.

Who knows that Mao Xiang doesn't like him as a boy at all, and none of the people around Mao Xiang is a scholar or even a scholar.

Mao's family is well-known and famous, and Mao Xiang is very talented. Everyone thinks that if Mao Xiang participates in the imperial examination, it will be easy to win the imperial examination.

Therefore, although Maoxiang is only a scholar at this time, many Juren and even Jinshi are willing to make friends with him, and they are friends of the same generation.

Dong Qichang was willing to write a preface to the collection of poems he published when he was 14 years old.

So Mao Xiang has always been proud, because he has the capital to be proud, a boy in Huangfeng's mansion wanted to make friends with him, it was simply whimsical, so Huang Feng's mansion took the initiative to introduce himself, but Mao Xiang gave him a cold face.

Yang Chao happened to meet him, whether it was out of pity, out of anger, or with ulterior motives, he invited Huangfeng Mansion.

As a result, in the brow tower, Huang Feng's mansion suddenly opened up and said a lot to Yang Chao.

Yang Chao also judged that this person is a deep-hearted and depressed person. The deepness comes from a poor life. The depression is because there is no hope for self-motivation. To put it bluntly, it means that the ambition is not satisfied. The neutral point means that there is nowhere to release the ambition. , To put it bluntly, heroes are useless.

Yang Chao really likes this kind of person. He is not afraid that men are ambitious, but he is afraid that men are not self-motivated.

Yang Chao despises men who can get by.

When Huang Fengfu sobered up, Yang Chao was very polite and asked Huang Fengfu if he would like to be his staff, and greatly praised Huang Fengfu.

Huang Fengfu suddenly felt a sense of confidant, thinking that he had found his bole, and agreed to do things for Yang Chao without hesitation.

The difference in status between Yang Chao and Huang Feng's mansion made Huang Feng's mansion feel that Yang Chao had the demeanor of a corporal.

Yang Chao didn't keep any money, he was afraid of hurting the poor scholar's self-esteem, and didn't give him specific things to do, because Huang Fengfu stayed in the scholar group and continued to make trouble, just to help Yang Chao.

Yang Chao needs to observe this uproar from the perspective of poor scholars like Huangfeng Mansion. Before that, he could only inquire about the thoughts of the scholars from the Meixiang Building, Li Xiangjun and others. What Li Xiangjun and the others said was actually Maoxiang and Hou Fangyu. The angle of view is different from the angle of view of Huangfeng Mansion.

To quell the uproar, the feelings of these poor scholars had to be ignored, because the die-hards who made the trouble were not the stable scholars, but some people like Huangfengfu who couldn't even pass the exam and even despaired of the imperial examination system.

Desperation for imperial examinations is tantamount to despair for one's own future. Such people are the most extreme. Some dynasties in history were destroyed because of such people.

For example, during the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, after Huang Chao failed the imperial examination, he left a poem outside Chang'an City, "When autumn comes and September [-]th, I will kill the flowers after they bloom. .”

This poem is full of grief and indignation. Huang Chao has since abandoned the imperial examination and embarked on the road of rebellion. In the end, he really led his troops to capture Chang'an and destroy the glorious Tang Dynasty.

Wang Lun, the first scholar in white at Liangshanbo in the Water Margin, is such a scholar. Zhang Jiao, who led the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, is such a scholar.

Being unrecognized for their talents, or thinking that they are unrecognized for their talents, these scholars often have a backlog of emotions that are more resentful than those of a boudoir. In prosperous times and peaceful times, these people may become the chief culprits of disasters for the country and the people. They are unprincipled and immoral He has no sense of right and wrong, unscrupulous, thick-faced and dark-hearted, but he has read books and understands intrigues and tricks. If he meets one or two demon kings in the world, he will be able to set off turbulent waves of chaos in the world.

After chatting for a while, Yang Chao discovered that Huang Fengfu also belonged to such a person, a dangerous element.

The Huangfeng Mansion doesn't care about Yang Chao's bad reputation at all, but is delighted that Yang Chao 'appreciates' him, and they regard Yang Chao's win over as a corporal, willing to run for Yang Chao, a typical example of no moral integrity, An unscrupulous scholar without right and wrong.

However, Yang Chao likes this kind of people, because they have something in their hearts, so they can do something, and they can be used by others. On the contrary, those people who have no ambitions, pass by, and are blind and ignorant, Yang Chao doesn't know how to impress them. , how to make them do things, they live as if they are just to live, without any purpose.

So when Yang Chao is training soldiers, he always wants to arouse the ambitions of his subordinates. To put it mildly, he is self-motivated, and to put it mildly, he has the heart of a "quite general". It is to make them have "energy" in their hearts. To do things, you don't need to follow behind and kick him, the strength in his heart will continue to spur them forward.

Huang Feng Mansion is one of the few people Yang Chao has ever seen. Hu Quan is not this kind of person, Zhao Kang is not this kind of person, and most of his subordinates are not like this kind of person. Among Yang Chao's acquaintances, only Wang Xiao reluctantly Counting such people, Kang Hui can only count as half of them.

However, the wildfire in people's hearts can be ignited. Under the stimulation of Yang Chao, the wildfire in Hu Quan's heart has just been ignited, and Kang Hui has already burned half of it. In doing things, he tried his best to achieve his goal and achieved success, precisely because Wang Xiao knew exactly what he wanted in his heart, and he had "energy" in his heart.

On this day, Feng Kezong sent people to post the third notice.

The notice with the big seal of the Ministry of Rites clearly threatened all the scholars. If they continue to make trouble, the imperial court will reduce the number of admissions for Jinshi in the south of the Yangtze River next year.

This not only frightened the scholar, but also angered the scholar. When the news got out, the scholar started to beat up the governor in the afternoon.

And not only the Zhenfu Department, but also the Ministry of Rites, and the Six Departments.

Originally, because the Zhenfusi arrested three of the four young masters, the scholar's eyes were fixed on the Zhenfusi, but as soon as the notice from the Ministry of Rites came out, he immediately turned to the government.

This situation made Feng Kezong heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that the number of scholars surrounding Zhenfusi was almost [-], and the number continued to increase, the scholars from Suzhou and Hangzhou were still gathering here. The pressure in his heart One can imagine.

As a result, the notice distracted the attention of the scholars, and some of them went to the Six Departments to make a noise, and there were only about a hundred people left in front of the Zhenfu Department's yamen.

But Yang Chao was in trouble. The Minister of Rites and the Ministry of War summoned him at the same time, obviously dissatisfied with him.

Yang Chao didn't care, and Shi Shiran came to the two departments.
