If it was in the past, Li Zexuan wouldn't have minded his students coming over to help Xiao Yu settle the score. On the contrary, he would have been more than happy to do so because it could give his students some "social experience". After all, Yanhuang Academy cultivated "practical" talents.
But now, Cheng Yaojin was probably brutally training the students, but he went to call the students away. How could this be?
"It's an emergency, so it won't take up too much of their time. Presumably, missing half a day of training won't have much of an impact on the students, right?"
Regarding the military training at Yanhuang College, the ministers in the imperial court more or less knew a little about it. Some of them even went to watch it live. Xiao Yu had also been there.
It was undeniable that when they saw a group of weak scholars marching in an orderly formation on the field and shouting loud slogans, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty, the official courses were divided into "national studies" and "local studies". There were also "primary school" and "university" levels. The "university" level used the "six arts" as the standard curriculum. "Etiquette, Music, Archery, Driving, Calligraphy, and Mathematics" were the six basic skills that students needed to master. Archery and Driving were the most primitive forms of military training in ancient times. The teachers were usually directly appointed by military officers.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the importance of military training for students gradually decreased, and the military training in schools began to decline. As Confucianism was regarded as orthodox, the "six arts" became the six classics of Confucianism. The content of military education disappeared, and the function of military training weakened into a ritual program.
During the Sui Dynasty, "martial arts and literature" began to greatly reduce military equipment. The focus of national education changed from martial arts to literature, and the imperial examination gradually began to become mainstream.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the national policy of emphasizing martial arts in wartime and literature in peacetime was established. At this time, the method of selecting scholars was still biased towards the imperial examination. The school became an accessory to the imperial examination, and military training was abolished. In addition, Confucianism began to germinate, and gradually the educational concept of emphasizing reading over practice and meditation over activities gradually formed. During the Empress Wu Zetian, the civil and military examinations were separated. The civil and military examinations were not tested on martial arts. In order to obtain fame, the students had no time to study military courses, and military training was gradually abandoned.
Therefore, even though he was shocked, Xiao Yu still disapproved of Yanhuang College's military training. However, the college was run by Li Zexuan. As an outsider, he couldn't do anything about it. Therefore, he didn't raise any objections from beginning to end.
Li Zexuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Of course, missing half a day of military training wouldn't affect the students much. However, today's timing was a little special. Old Cheng had just gone to the academy in the afternoon! He could imagine that the group of brats in Class One of the Academy were probably in so much pain under Old Cheng's evil claws that they wished they were dead! If he went to pull the students over, Old Cheng would definitely go crazy.
"Uh, Elder Xiao, missing half a day of military training is of course not a big deal. However, today is a little special. Lu Guogong is conducting special training for the students! If I were to disturb them at this time, I'm afraid it would be very inconvenient! "
When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared. "Outrageous! Is Cheng Zhijie's special training more important than collecting business taxes for the imperial court? Go and get the students to come over. If Cheng Zhijie isn't convinced, he can come and reason with me! "
Li Zexuan suddenly felt helpless. Since he had already said this, he had to be a living Bodhisattva today and rescue the students who were in deep trouble.
"Ahem, Elder Xiao, please wait a moment. I'll send someone to the courtyard to inform the students to come over!"
…
Yanhuang College.
As Li Zexuan expected, ever since Cheng Yaojin, the big devil, came to the academy in the afternoon, the students' training suddenly increased by more than 50%. Today's weather was so hot, but the students of each class could still be seen running tirelessly on the field. Large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. The camouflage uniforms on their bodies looked as if they had just been fished out of the water. A gentle twist could probably wring out water!
Cheng Yaojin held a bamboo stick and followed behind the students of Class One as if he was herding sheep.
"Huff, huff ~! I'm so tired! You say, High Duke Lu, don't you know how to rest at home if you have nothing better to do? Why did you come to the academy to join in the fun? Sigh, if only Father could cancel the rest period. Yes, just temporarily. Let us endure this period of military training first! "
The little fatty was sweating profusely on the field. As he ran, the fat on his body jiggled. Therefore, according to the theory of physics, if he ran the same distance, he would need to do more work and consume more energy. In addition, his foundation was weak to begin with. Naturally, he would be more tired than others! At this time, Li Tai wiped the sweat on his forehead and muttered in his heart.
It couldn't be helped. Old Devil Cheng was really too abnormal. When he came in the afternoon, he made them run as if their lives depended on it. Those who couldn't run were directly thrown into the small dark room to fend for themselves. He was simply too cruel!
"General Cheng, General Cheng!"
At this time, there was a shout from the back of the team.
"Turn right! Enter the field!"
Cheng Yaojin looked back and saw Mo Zhong running in his direction. He led the students from the track into the field and then shouted again, "Stop!"
The students of Class One immediately stopped in their tracks.
"What's the matter? Can't you see that I'm in the middle of military training?"
Cheng Yaojin turned around and glanced at Mo Zhong as he said with some dissatisfaction.
"General Cheng, Yamachō asked someone to send a message. He wants a class of students who are proficient in arithmetic to temporarily stop their military training and go to the pier outside Plum Village to wait for orders!"
Mo Zhong felt a little guilty when Old Devil Cheng looked at him like this. However, he still relayed Li Zexuan's order.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he began to look at Mo Zhong strangely. If he didn't know him well, he would have suspected that Mo Zhong was a spy sent by a student to deliberately spread false information.
"Why does Xiaoxuan want students who are proficient in arithmetic?"
Mo Zhong cupped his fists and said, "I don't know. I only heard that it was the order of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Elder Xiao!"
"That old fox Xiao Yu?"
Cheng Yaojin frowned and didn't say anything.
The eyes of the students on the field suddenly lit up. Their chance had come! As long as it wasn't military training, they were willing to do anything! Moreover, they had to know arithmetic and he was the Minister of Civil Affairs. This meant that this job must be related to accounting! In this case, they had to go!
"Quickly agree, quickly agree. Accounting makes me happy. This king wants to go and settle accounts!"
Li Tai stood upright and looked at Cheng Yaojin's back from the corner of his eyes as he madly muttered in his heart.
As if he had heard his thoughts, Cheng Yaojin paused for a moment and said, "Then let them go first! I'll go and train the students of Class Two in the afternoon! "
The students of Class One were ecstatic when they heard this. However, they were afraid that extreme joy would lead to sorrow, so they didn't shout out loud. At this moment, they were extremely grateful to Xiao Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs!
