The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 243

Li Bangyan happened to hear some news, and replied: "Then Yang Lin brings a few students and a group of idle people to wander around every day."

"I'm tired, you all go out."

The two got up and slowly exited the room. After going out, Gao Qiu and Li Bangyan looked at each other, turned and left in a tacit understanding.

Both of them knew well that Liang Shicheng, the most powerful hidden figure in the Song Dynasty, had lost his glory.

Relying on his huge background, he can still last for a while, but in a few years, this boundless power will be divided up by Cai Jing and that Yang Lin sooner or later.

In the courtyard of Zhaodefang, Yang Lin reprimanded several apprentices with his hands behind his back, with the air of being a good teacher.

After running for the past few days, Yang Lin took them deep into various workshops to see the origin of daily necessities, food, housing and transportation.

"It's not advisable to read dead books. After New Year's Day, I will take you to the fields to see how farmers plant crops. You are all inactive, and you can't distinguish the five grains. You can't walk After a few steps, I complained endlessly.

At the beginning, which one of the sages sat at home and read books? The sages of Confucius traveled around the world. If you have a physique like yours, you will be exhausted halfway. "

The five apprentices looked at their mentor eagerly, wondering why he didn't blush or breathe all day long.

Dark clouds piled up on the gloomy sky, and after a while, it snowed heavily. Yang Lin took them to his study.

Wu Min, Yu Wenxuzhong, Yuan Tingzhi, and Ma Kuo, who were still half-dead, suddenly brightened their eyes.

"Teacher! Is this the official's handwriting? Junyi, Junyi."

Ma Kuo stared, and the ghost shouted: "The real handwriting of the prince?! This is the handwriting of the book sage."

Only Cai Tao is knowledgeable, and his father Cai Jing's collection is no less than here.

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, patted the table, and said, "Shut up, everyone."

The four of them exchanged glances, and sat down in separate seats honestly.

Yang Lin continued to teach: "Everything in the world is knowledgeable. You will be officials in the future and want to benefit the people of one side, but you don't know anything. Your mouth full of benevolence, justice and morality may not stop the thieves in the government; It’s not enough to fill the stomachs of the common people. Lower your eyes and raise your hands, that’s the essence of our knowledge.”

Among these students, although Cai Tao is Cai Jing's son, he has no airs and gets along quite well with his seniors.He let his father not learn, and came to be Yang Lin's student, because he saw something different about Yang Shaozai.

Yu Wenxu admires Yang Lin the most, because he really takes him as a teacher and works hard to accept the teachings of his mentor.

As for Ma Kuo, this kid is very spooky and likes to think.Every sentence Yang Lin said, he would think about it, record it, and then study and ponder it by himself.

Yuan Tingzhi, like Wu Min, was born in a poor family. He heard articles and poems praising Yang Lin from his hometown academy. They admired their mentor very much, but they still couldn't accept some of his theories.

But in this era, since you recognize the master, you must be obedient and study hard.

Yang Lin squinted his eyes and looked around, nodding secretly in his heart, these people are his founder disciples, they must teach them well, and they will go out to accept his disciples and grandchildren in the future.

They are not idiots either, they took their precious time to teach them sincerely for a period of time, and then put them in the officialdom.

To this lifeless, stagnant bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, a few aliens were thrown in to stir up the stagnant water.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Qian yelled directly outside: "Young Zai, just got the news that something serious happened to the Khitan people in Huanglong Mansion!"

Yang Lin's heart tightened, and several apprentices also pricked up their ears. It was the first time they heard about this kind of military event, which made them excited to participate in the great event of the society.

Lu Qian opened the door and came in, crossing his hands and said, "Young master, the Bohai people in the northeast are rebelling against the Liao Dynasty. There are no less than [-] soldiers and horses, and they have defected to the Jurchen. The Jin Kingdom has become more powerful."

Yang Lin slapped his forehead, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed secretly.

This was expected, but it still made him a little discouraged. Seeing the Jurchen Tartars rising step by step, he couldn't make any obstacles.

Both the Bohai people and the Jurchens belonged to the ancient Mohe people. It is not surprising that they defected to the Jurchens. The Bohai Kingdom was very powerful back then.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Bohai State has existed for 220 years, and the agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting industries have flourished.

Even handicraft industries including textiles, smelting, gold, silver, copper and iron processing, porcelain making, and shipbuilding were well developed.

More importantly, their navigation skills are exquisite. Chinese characters are the common characters of Bohai, and Bohai has a strong academic atmosphere. They have made achievements in literature, art, painting, and sculpture.

The iron smelting of the Jurchen Tartars is actually no worse than that of the Central Plains, and even surpasses it in some aspects, which has the shadow of the Bohai Kingdom.

Like many powerful countries, Bohai State, which was prosperous for a while, died of civil strife.

Taking advantage of the continuous civil war in Bohai, Yelu Abaoji raised his troops to attack Bohai, and within a few days he arrested the king of Bohai, Da Qiaozhuan.

When the Bohai Kingdom fell, Yelu Abaoji made his son king and changed Bohai to Dongdan. 57 years later, the name of Dongdan Kingdom was abolished, and the territory of Dongdan belonged to the Liao Dynasty and merged with the huge Khitan.

Now their little brother, Jurchen, is so powerful that they have beaten the Khitan without armor, and even established the second dynasty of the Mohe nation, the Jin Dynasty.

The people of Bohai, who had already had enough of Khitan's high-handed policy, rebelled against Liao happily, making the state of Jin flourish.

Chapter 289 A Faint Monarch and a Shouter

Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian, the monarchs and ministers, are still waiting for the spring to bloom, and the imperial chariot will take over the Jurchens in one fell swoop.

The news of the chaos in Bohai made Emperor Tianzuo furious, and called Xiao Fengxian to the palace to scold him bloody.

Xiao Fengxian rolled his eyes and thought of a way to divert the disaster. He suggested that Yelu Yanxi kill all the Jurchens from Bohai in the Daliao territory so that they would not be used as internal agents in the future.

For the prime minister of a great country, saying such things is simply nonsense, but it is a big match for Yelu Yanxi's temper.

At the emperor's order, countless Liao soldiers and horses searched for the Jurchen and Bohai people in their own city, beheading all men, women, and children.

Killing them without guilt, just to prevent them from becoming insiders, is simply an unheard of act of violence.

From this point of view, the Liao and Jin Dynasties are really in the same line, and no one should laugh at who is brutal and inhuman.

At the beginning, everyone strictly investigated and tried not to kill other tribesmen by mistake.

Later, local officials who had already been corrupted used this as an excuse to ask for bribes, and those who refused to pay were treated as Jurchens.

There are so many ethnic groups in Khitan, so everyone is panicked, many people fled to Huanglong Mansion overnight, and defected to the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Aguda ordered that anyone who came to join him would be given preferential treatment.The Jurchens had almost killed the Huanglong Mansion, filling in these common people who hated Khitan deeply was a great thing for the newly established Jin Kingdom, and greatly alleviated the sequelae of excessive killing.

Even the border of the Great Song Dynasty accepted many Liao people who had fled south. Zong Ze and Tong Guan accepted these people one after another and recruited soldiers and horses from them.

The Royal Conquest has not yet started, a great chaos was set off by the Liao people themselves, which seriously injured themselves, and the news spread to Bianliang, almost made Yang Lin vomit blood

So much so that when he looks at Zhao Ji now, he is much more pleasing to the eye, at least better than that trash next door.

Sitting in Gen Yue's meeting hall, Zhao Ji was chatting with Yang Jian, when he felt a gaze, he turned his head and asked, "Yang Aiqing, why are you staring at me?"

Yang Lin came to his senses, walked out of Khitan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "My minister concentrates and holds his breath for a closer look, His Majesty's aura of good fortune has greatly increased, and he looked sideways at everything!"

Zhao Ji believed it very much, and said happily: "This is all thanks to Yang Aiqing, Gen Yue and Shoushan."
