Chapter 247: A gentleman takes a friend as a friend

Xu Wei said loudly:

"Xu Wei, Wu Dui, Sun Yan, Zhu Dashou, Sun Ying, Tao Dalin, etc., on that day, he burned incense and asked for an order. He was so righteous in Taoyuan that everyone admired him and dared to follow his style; Guan Bao's deep affection, and each surname pursued Wei and wanted to share his aspirations. In the past, Guan Zhang formed a commoner to save the Han Dynasty; Guan Bao had a strong relationship, and Guan Bao had a strong relationship with him to help the world. Now, the Ming Dynasty was in a turmoil, with treacherous parties rampant inside, Altan Japanese/pirates outside, and the people were suffering from troubles, and the people were in trouble."

"We scholars are worried about the country, and wish we could not be so clear and bright. We hate that we have no courage to the world, and that we have no wisdom to promote the world. The only way to do this is to use our joint efforts to overcome the courage and perseverance of Guan and Zhang; with our unity, we have better than Guan and Bao's wisdom."

"So, on the sixth day of the eighth month of the 34th year of Jiajing, the camp prepared pigs, sheep and animals, phoenixes, harnessed gold, and prayed piously, worshipped the Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of Haotian, and served in the five directions. The city gods and society orders in this county, and all the gods in the past, rely on this true fragrance to observe. Although Fu Nianwei and others were despicable, they were loyal to this "revival society", they formed a "revival society" and made a permanent statement—"

Everyone said in a deep voice: "Together work hard to promote our Ming Dynasty, save the world and save the people, believe in the beginning and have a life of life, if you do this, you will be punished by everyone."

After everyone finished reading, Xu Wei continued: "We always remember that we always think of poverty, happiness always think of sorrow and suffering, prosperity always think of decline and death. We transcend personal honor and disgrace, and never forget our ambitions today, and create a prosperous era for China."

I wish to love each other after the alliance, share happiness and happiness, help each other with troubles. I also pray for the peace and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of every household to celebrate the boundless blessings. In the time, I will cover all the things. I will write a memorial to the 6th day of the eighth month of the 34th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty.”

After reading it, I burned the document and gave it to the gods and Buddhas in the sky for approval.

Everyone lost their names and learned from the ancients' blood to make an alliance... They pierced their fingertips, dripped them into the wine jar, divided them into seven bowls of blood wine, and then drank them in front of God. Then they bowed to God for eight times. Then they gave them to God, burned money and paper, and accepted the blessing gifts.

At a moment, the host opened a table with a good squat, and the seven people sat according to their seniority. Before the table, Xu Wei said: "It is a saying that birds cannot fly without a head, and a snake cannot do without a head. We must recommend a meeting, which is also the representative of our Revival Society."

Everyone laughed and said, "Brother, I will recommend one."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "I recommend myself... Everyone will definitely not do it." Everyone laughed and listened to him continue, "Actually there is nothing to choose. Although Brother Zhuoyan is the youngest, he has a high-level knowledge and is calm and generous. He is the most suitable for being the leader of this meeting. And it is his proposal, so he is even more unstoppable."

Everyone nodded and said, "No, there is no other choice."

Chen Si was humble, but everyone pushed to the top of the house together and sat down. Then he said reluctantly: "Thank you for your distorted love, Chen Si can only be trembling and do his best. If you can't do it well, you don't have to change it. I will shoot the pp myself."

Everyone laughed and said, "If you can't do it well, then our Fuxing Society will be disbanded, so you must do it well."

Silently cursed, "But it's up to me." The six people raised their glasses to toast him. After drinking, they established his position as the leader.

Since he is in power, he is no longer polite and said in a deep voice: "It is easy to have lofty ambitions, but the difficult thing is that the road to realizing his ambitions will definitely be bumpy, difficult and obstacles, and there will even be considerable risks..."

Sun Ying's expression changed and he whispered: "Will we be regarded as cliques?"

The silent eyes swept across everyone, looking at Xu Wei, Wu Dui, Sun Yan, and Zhu Dashou with insignificance, while Tao Yuchen and Sun Ying were a little worried. He knew very well that those who were "insignificance" might not be indifferent in their hearts, but they were older and could hide things in their hearts.

We must dispel this concern, make up our minds silently, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what others think, let's ask yourself, how do you view the word "party"?"

"The sage said: 'A gentleman is proud but not competing, and is not a party." Tao Yuchen whispered: "And said, 'The villain is not a party', which shows that the word "party" is not a good word."

"Wrong." Chen Si shook his head firmly and said, "I want me to say that villains have no party, only gentlemen have party."

"This statement is fresh..." Everyone was not rigid and listened to him patiently.

"In my opinion, the Party means like-mindedness. A group of people come together because of the same noble purpose, have ambitions and work together, which is called the Party." The silent eyes said with a bright look: "As for villains gathering together, it is called a traitor, and it is like a positive and negative side with us, and it will always be opposite!"

"So I say that a gentleman regards his fellow men as his friends, uses himself to cut off his villains as his party, and uses like-mindedness as his party!" Only the silence is strong and powerful.

He regarded 'party' as a synonym for gentlemen, and gave a new interpretation of the concept of 'party' and 'climbing', and changed the derogatory meaning. When everyone heard this new statement, they felt open and nodded, "In this way, we don't have to hide the fact that they talk about the cliques." "If you want to do it, be the biggest clique in the world."

He smiled silently and said, "This is not urgent. We are only six or seven people now, and we have not even participated in the provincial examination. It is simply insignificant. If we shouted out the name "Fuxing Society" now, we may die prematurely."

Everyone nodded, and Xu Wei smiled and said, "The reason why Taizu achieved his hegemony was because of the nine-character mantra of 'building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king'. Our intention to revive the Ming Dynasty is no less difficult than Taizu's establishment. It is a good way to get medicine according to the prescription."

"This is very true." Zhu Dashou nodded and said, "It is better to use a popular name first, not announce our ambitions, and only build a general cultural club to the outside world."

"Is it not right," Sun Yan shook his head and said, "How can I attract Junyan to join this?"

Xu Wei suddenly laughed and said, "This is too simple. We just need to declare to the public that the purpose of our company is to 'understand the eight-legged essays, learn about knowledge, and cultivate character', and then achieve good results in the imperial examination. Why don't scholars in the world flock to you?"

"Although this is unpleasant... it's true." Everyone nodded and smiled: "Well, our literary club is to cultivate articles and seek fame and fame. What's the name..."

"'Qionglin Club'." Sun Ying laughed and said, "Since it's vulgar, it's vulgar!"

"No, let's know what it is for when you hear it." Everyone nodded and smiled.

After everyone was excited, he said silently: "Since we named Qionglin Society, everyone, we who started the game will have the goal of "Qionglin Banquet" and will be on the golden list at that time so that the world can be watched and gained great reputation."

The six people nodded together and said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The first step is to get the provincial examination done." Then they raised their glasses together and wished the autumn examination victory.

"At the Lu Ming Banquet," Silent clinked glasses with everyone, and drank it all over: "No one can be left behind."

"Go together." Everyone laughed.

Just when the Qionglin Society was drinking and walking in Zhuanghuan, it was located in the Hangzhou Gongyuan, northeast of West Lake and west of the East River...

After five days of cleaning, the Hangzhou Gongyuan, which had been closed for three years, finally disappeared and was completely renewed...at least on the surface.

But in such a huge examination room, no one has entered for three years. Apart from the dust, it is inevitable that some unclean things will live in it. In fact, the tribute school is a place with a very high rate of fire, illness, crazy or even suicide. Often, there will always be some strange places in the year of the competition.

People cannot explain it, so they have to think that it is the result of ghosts and gods. They believe that such things happen because some of them have done bad things and were repaid. Through long-term exaggeration, both examiners and candidates have not only believed in the claim that grudges are repaid, but also became a moral constraint, allowing scholars to try their best to restrain their behavior in daily life.

Of course, in addition to this, we have to ask professionals to deal with it... The so-called professionals are monks and Taoists. They will set up an altar on the Mingyuan Tower for three days and nights before the exam, pray to the underworld in the upper realm, and set up a "sacrificial flag"... The main thing is to invite those Huang Taixian, wandering ghosts and other people who live in the tribute courtyard to move out for a few days for the time being, and come back after the exam.

When the 5th day of the eighth day of the lunar month was about to be drummed, three cannons were set off before the Gongyuan, and three cannons were set off to open the gate, and three cannons were set off to open the gate; three cannons were set off to open the gate. After nine cannons, the neighbors were yelling, and the ceremonial champion was covered with clouds. The governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Hangzhou appeared with a group of subordinates and placed incense tables in front of the Gongyuan. Hu Zhongcheng wore a bull head and a python robe, bowed, stood up, and covered his face with two pairs of sunshades.

The Governor's Office's Literary Office knelt down and said loudly: "Please ask Emperor Guan Sheng, the Emperor of the Three Realms to come to suppress the scene, and ask General Zhou to come to patrol the scene." Let go of the sunshade, Hu Zongxian gave the ceremony again. The Literary Office knelt down and asked Emperor Qiqu Wenchang Kaihua Zitong to come to the scene to test, and ask Mr. Kuixing to come to shine."

Only after this ceremony was completed, the examiners were welcomed to the tribute court. After they sacrificed Confucius and made a poisonous oath, they would first check it carefully in the tribute court to confirm that there was no problem in each link, and then do some pre-exam preparations such as license plates and papers.
