    "I am ashamed and don't want to be your friend!" Yuan Zai said this sentence righteously, and everyone's ears suddenly rumbling!  "This sound is all about prestige!"  Although the Tang Dynasty introduced the imperial examination system to select talents, the imperial examination system was not yet perfect at this time, and whether one had a good reputation or not could play a vital role in whether he could win the imperial examination.  Therefore, almost all literati who came to Beijing had to find ways to "interview" in front of the dignitaries' doors.  If this road doesn't work, then you have to think of other ways to make yourself famous and build momentum.  "For example, Chen Zi'ang, who threw down a thousand-gold harp to spread his poems, could become famous in the city of Chang'an, and he became a Jinshi at the age of twenty-four!  Yuan Zai's criticism of Ye Chang was just to build momentum and reputation for himself, and because Ye Chang was recommended by He Zhizhang and Li Shizhi, although Ye Chang was a nobody, He Zhizhang was famous all over the world.  He Zhizhang's head, but it would not lead to a deadly feud.  As for Ye Chang who cares about the feeling of stepping stone?  Over there, Lu Qi looked at Yuan Zai with sideways eyes, filled with hatred.  An opponent like this who is weak but has a lot of reputation should be brushed against him!  But Lu Qi was young at this time, and he was not the Lu Qi that even Guo Ziyi feared. Moreover, he could easily be criticized for talking about brother Ye Chang's matter: his own father was an official abroad, and he did not follow his father into office to fulfill his filial piety.  But he stayed in Chang'an City.  At this time, he could only think that since Ye Chang was valued by He Zhizhang and had some talent, he should be able to defend himself, lest Yuan Zai alone wipe out all his reputation.  Yan Zhenqing was a little helpless. He wanted to collude with Ye Chang first because he was afraid of such a verbal dispute. If Ye Chang was not prepared, he would easily suffer a big loss.  He looked at Ye Chang, who still looked stunned. He was obviously unprepared for Yuan Zai's attack on him as soon as they met.  Looking at Yuan Zai again, Yuan Zai didn't show much pride, but his eyes were bright.  Yan Zhenqing judged that Yuan Zai¡¯s intention was not yet complete!  Sure enough, Yuan Zai paused for a moment, and then said: "To punish without teaching is not the way of the sages. Ye Chang, what can you say?" This is about to continue. It seems that this is the way of Yuan Zai.  Fu is the kind of ruthless person who kills everyone, and he wants Ye Chang to completely become his reputation!  Ye Chang came back to his senses at this moment. He frowned slightly and closed his eyes a little.  "I just heard the introduction. You, Yuan Gongfu, are from Fengxiang Qishan. What did you study and why did you come to Beijing?" Ye Chang asked back unhurriedly.  "A certain person who is well versed in Lao Zhuang Taoism came to Chang'an after hearing that the emperor wanted to open a civil service system and recruit Taoist disciples. He is not just someone who came to the capital to play in the pretense of welcoming his brother's coffin!" Sure enough, seizing this opportunity, Yuan Zai began to continue to attack.  : "Father is kind and son is filial, brother and friend are respectful" "Wait a minute, you said you are proficient in Lao Zhuang Taoism and came to Chang'an to prepare for the exam?" Ye Chang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I thought you could go back to your hometown and continue studying hard.  "Fuck you, you dare to curse me?" Yuan Zai was furious.  "I'm not cursing you, I'm just telling the truth." Ye Chang thought of the debate competition he had organized for the children when he was a teacher, and he smiled slightly. In the eyes of others, he was really calm at this time, as if  He was talking about an extremely common thing: "Hui Shi reprimanded Nan Hua Zhenren for saying, 'It's not even a big deal.' It's you at this time. How can a person who doesn't understand fate win the election?" As soon as he said this, Lu Qi returned.  Some were at a loss, but everyone who knew the allusions Ye Chang said were shocked and then laughed. The only exception was probably Yuan Zai.  Yuan Zai¡¯s face has become more eye-catching than Lu Qi¡¯s blue face because it has completely turned purple.  The Master of Nanhua mentioned by Ye Chang is Zhuangzi. In February of this year, Li Longji, the emperor of today, was granted the title of Master of Nanhua.  When Zhuangzi's wife died, he sang on the drums, but Hui Shi reprimanded him for going too far. Zhuangzi believed that birth, old age, illness and death were natural laws, and crying bitterly was "unreasonable".  It would have been better if Yuan Zai had not claimed to be proficient in Taoism, but in order to make a name for himself, he specifically emphasized that he was proficient in Taoism. As a result, he was slapped hard by Ye Chang in the place where he was best at it!  At this time, in everyone¡¯s ears, there was still a rumbling sound of increasing reputation.  However, just now everyone thought that Ye Chang was the one being swiped, but now it seems that Yuan Zai is the one being swiped.  Yuan Zai remained silent and could only shrink back, hoping that no one would pay attention to him.  He drew back, and Lu Qi felt that his chance had come.  "Ye Langjun, I heard that you once organized people to dig canals and divert water in the countryside. You must be good at calculations" "Wu Lang, Xiao Wu Lang!" Ye Chang knew the elegant meaning of the string song after hearing it, and called Xiao Bai Lang over directly.  At this time, Xiao Bailang could be said to admire Ye Chang with all his might, and those thoughts of revenge had already begun.There is nothing left.  There was no other reason. This morning, Ye Chang couldn't get into trouble with him. He played a game of getting copper coins with him several times, and after making him lose a lot, he revealed all the secrets.  This method of calculation made Xiao Bailang stunned, and then he understood why he always lost.  "Eleventh Lang, what are your orders?" Ye Chang smiled and said to Lu Qi: "Today I will teach Xiao Wulang a calculation technique. You two can go and have fun on the side." Lu Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold.  Yi: "Ye Langjun looks down on me?" "No, your talent is immeasurable, but at this time, you are too far behind me in arithmetic." Ye Chang comforted him slightly and said: "You and Xiao Wulang  You will know after you try it. Only if you beat him can you be qualified to challenge me." When Xiao Bailang heard that he was competing with Lu Qi for copper coins, he immediately grinned, his eyes full of evil: He had been abused by Ye Chang for a long time.  Well, now someone comes to him asking for torture, how could he not be willing to do so!  Without waiting for Lu Qi to object, he pulled Lu Qi aside and explained the rules to him.  But Lu Qi was poor. The clothes he wore were all old and patched. He spent a long time digging around but couldn't find a few copper coins.  It was Li Fei's domestic slave who took out a handful of copper coins, and the two of them went aside to play.  Ye Chang looked at everyone and sat upright: "You guys are here, what do you want to teach me?" It was only then that everyone remembered that they were originally here to make friends with Ye Chang, but now it seems that they have made things difficult for Ye Chang.  Moreover, Yuan Zai was embarrassed so quickly that all of his fellow travelers were embarrassed, especially Li Fei, who was vaguely displeased with Ye Chang.  Seeing that everyone was silent, he could only cough and step forward and said: "He Gong praised Ye Langjun highly. I saw you today. He is indeed well-deserved. But, what is Ye Langjun's ambition in life? Is it just this cockfighting and running dog game?"  Or just use the cockfighting and running dog game as a way to get ahead, and gain the status of a jester? "At this time, it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and people with a little talent wanted to become officials, so as to make achievements and gain a wife.  son.  However, everyone has different ways of becoming an official. There are some who are poor and have no experience in taking the imperial examination, some who live in seclusion and seek fame and take the shortcut to Zhongnan, and some who pretend to be crazy and want to attract attention.  But no matter which method, Jia Chang is looked down upon. This young man in the city was favored by Li Longji through cockfighting, but in the hearts of the world, he is still just a jester after all.  In Li Fei's words, he was running against Ye Chang.  Ye Chang still smiled, and then said: "Zeng Dian's ambition is the ambition of a certain person, why don't you hear that I have Dian Ye!" This is another allusion, but this time, what Ye Chang came up with was the orthodox one.  Confucian allusions.  Confucius asked his disciples about their ambitions, and he pointed out that in late spring, he changed into new clothes and went to play with the adults and teenagers in the Yishui River, singing and dancing, and returned home singing happily.  Confucius sighed and agreed: "I agree with Dian."  "This" Li Fei was speechless for a moment. Confucius' ambition was nothing more than this, so what does it mean for Ye Chang to play football with some adults and teenagers?  Although it is clear that Ye Chang deliberately misinterpreted the aspirations of Confucius and Zeng Dian, if he wants to argue, he can also connect football with swimming, singing and dancing.  Li Fei was a son of an aristocratic family, and he was a court official, while Ye Chang was just a commoner with no reputation. Li Fei was not Yuan Zai and Lu Qi who were eager to become famous. When he saw that Ye Chang had no chance to take advantage of him, he would naturally not go with him.  The debate was humiliating, so he laughed and said: "Ye Langjun is really a scholar!" He opened his mouth to relax the atmosphere, and everyone came up one after another to chat with Ye Chang.  When others are not hostile, Ye Chang is still very easy-going, responding to everyone one by one, occasionally making a joke, and sometimes making fun of himself. Everyone talks and laughs happily, which is quite enjoyable.  The only one who has not joined is probably Yuan Zai.  Yuan Zai was shrinking among the people at this time, with jealousy and shame in his eyes. He originally wanted to gain reputation on Ye Chang, but was turned back. Of course, he would not take the initiative to jump out at this time.  However, Ye Chang felt his gaze and looked over with a smile: "Isn't this Yuan Gongfu ashamed to make friends with me? Why is he still here?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's feelings about Ye Chang  Change again: This guy can¡¯t be offended, he¡¯s also a petty person!  "You!" "I am different from you. No matter what kind of person he is, whether he is uneducated or has evil intentions, I am willing to make friends with him." Ye Chang said slowly and authentically.  Yuan Zai didn't have the dignity to stay here at this time, so he covered his face with his sleeves, turned around and left.  Yan Zhenqing saw it and pulled Ye Chang: "Why is this?" "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them." These words made everyone even more secretly vigilant, don't make a fuss like the Yuan Dynasty.  It's just the ordinary people who don't have good looks.  With so many people present today, Ye Chang's mockery of Yuan Zai will definitely spread. Yuan Zai came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination this time, and wanted toIt's almost impossible to pass.  Any examiner who dares to admit such a student will definitely be criticized by the supervisor.  "I just saw Ye Shiyilang playing ball with others. I wonder what kind of ball game this is?" After a moment of awkwardness, someone asked.  Ye Chang took the opportunity to introduce some football, and finally added: "People in the city can't afford the game of polo, and the game of Cuju is too complicated, so it is not as enjoyable as the game of football. The two sides competed to see who scored the other's goals the most times.  Most of all, there are vanguards, center troops and rearguards, which coincide with the art of war. "Haha, the world is peaceful at this time, and the art of war has no place, so it can only be used for these things." Someone said with a smile.  There was still a sense of ridicule, but it was not obvious, and Ye Chang did not fight back.  That person also stopped clicking and did not dare to continue. After all, Ye Chang had already given everyone the impression that there was a hidden needle in the cotton wool, and no one wanted to be targeted by him.  The time for a stick of incense has arrived. Ye Chang stood up and apologized to everyone: "I want to be the referee, so I'll excuse you for a moment. Since you are interested in this football drama, let's watch these boys play half a game."  Lang did not play, but was still playing there with Lu Qi. Ye Chang took the opportunity to disrupt the scoundrels and divide them up again. After restating the rules again, he let both sides play.  Seeing that the two sides had indeed arranged their formations according to the front, middle and rear, Yan Zhenqing and others who were watching thought that what Ye Chang said about secretly combining military tactics and battle formations seemed to be true.  The competition started soon, because Ye Chang had explained some rules just now, so everyone could see it more clearly now.  These players who are playing football on the field are all recruited by Xiao Bailang. They have all played Cuju before, so their feel and skills are quite good. They can stop the ball, pass people, pass, intercept, and steal in a decent manner.  The two sides went back and forth, switching between offense and defense very quickly, and Ye Chang tried his best not to interrupt them, keeping the practice session smooth.  In this way, the highly confrontational nature of football is clearly revealed.  The onlookers were just curious at first, but gradually found it interesting, and even began to cheer for a beautiful passing move or a clean steal.  In addition to them, people watching the fun nearby gradually gathered. There were more than a hundred people on the sidelines cheering. If Ye Chang hadn't arranged for manpower to maintain the scene on the sidelines, I'm afraid many people would have joined the field to kick the ball themselves.  Two feet.  The effort of two sticks of incense passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the two sides scored a total of nine goals. This is also the inevitable result when the football drama begins.  No matter how good their Cuju skills are, it is impossible to perfectly practice good tactics when they are new to football.  However, scoring more goals has the advantage of scoring more. Every goal makes everyone excited. So when Ye Chang came down with sweat all over, Yan Zhenqing came up and said: "Please invite Mr. Zhang to come and see. Mr. Zhang saw Mrs. Gongsun dancing with the sword."  You can understand the secrets of calligraphy if you use it, and you will definitely gain something from watching football today!" "Brother Qingchen, you are so good at calligraphy, and your future achievements in calligraphy will definitely not be inferior to that of Mr. Zhang." Ye Chang smiled:  "These days, help me write more words. When your name is spread all over the world, Brother Qingchen, I will sell one piece every year and make a living from it." This was a joke. Yan Zhenqing did not feel offended or angry at all.  , instead he stroked his forehead and laughed.  At this time, all the grudges in his heart were gone, replaced by a secret apology to Ye Chang: just now, he mistakenly thought that Ye Chang had no heart and lungs. It turned out that it was not that he did not mourn the death of his brother, but that he had seen through life and death. He was far from like them.  A realm that worldly people can understand.  No wonder he can meet an immortal, his state of mind is almost like an immortal.  "Shall we give it a try?" Yan Zhenqing consciously realized that Ye Chang's intentions were sincere, and while feeling guilty, she deliberately cheered for him.  Ye Chang wants to build momentum for the football drama, so he will help support it, and Li Fei's identity is obviously very helpful in promoting football.  As soon as he started, the young men who came with Li Fei were also eager to try it. Even Li Fei felt that he was good at Cuju and it shouldn't be a problem to play this, so he actually went out and tried it.
