Chapter 403: The chance to fight

"Husband, my elder sister came to see me today and told me something to ask me to ask her to ask her for personal favors." Taiping said softly while pinching Zhang Zong's shoulders.

Li Zhi was not the only daughter like Taiping. In fact, Taiping also had two half-sisters, namely Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an. Their mother was Concubine Xiao Shu, who was killed by Wu Meiniang. Moreover, these two princesses were imprisoned in the palace by Wu Meiniang, especially Princess Yiyang. She was still thirty years old and had not yet married. In the end, Li Hong couldn't stand it and asked Li Zhi to marry him.

Although these two princesses were women, they did not forget the revenge of killing their mother, so their relationship with Wu Meiniang was very bad. However, they did not hate Li Hong and Taiping. Especially after Taiping got married, the two princesses often walked around, and the two princesses had a very good reputation, so Zhang Zong was not worried that they would ruin Taiping.

It is also worth mentioning that later Wu Meiniang became emperor, and the two princesses also participated in the action against Wu Meiniang with their husbands. They were both killed. The mother and daughter all died at the hands of Wu Meiniang, which can be said to be a tragedy on earth.

After hearing Taiping's words, Zhang Zong looked at Wan'er and smiled, and then said, "Is it related to the martial arts school?"

"Hey, how do you know, husband?" Taiping asked in surprise when he heard Zhang Zong's words, and his little hand stopped suddenly. She had never cared about the outside world, but only knew that Zhang Zong was busy with the martial arts school recently, but before today, she didn't know what the martial arts school was for.

"Because there have been too many people who have been trying to send their children and nephews to the martial arts school recently, and even the prince can't resist the pressure and write to me, so I guess someone here will definitely want to walk."

"I really guessed it right. My elder sister has a son. She is exactly fourteen years old this year and has not been able to learn literature, so she wanted to ask me if she could send him to the martial arts school. She didn't know who said that the martial arts school was strict, and she might be able to discipline her son on the right way." Taiping smiled again.

"There is not a single eight character yet. Although the martial arts school has been built, there are still many things to prepare for. It is estimated that the enrollment will not start until next year. I have no idea about the enrollment regulations." Zhang Zong also spread his hands and smiled bitterly when he said this. Even if he, the person in charge of enrollment, he didn't know how to enroll. Even if these people want to go through the back door, they have to have a door for them to leave.

"So that's it. If your husband is really embarrassed, then I will refuse you another day, right?" Taiping thought for a while before speaking. Although she hoped to help her miserable sister, she didn't want to make Zhang Zong embarrassed.

However, when Zhang Zong heard Taiping's words, he waved his hand, then pondered for a moment before speaking: "Taiping, you don't have to refuse. I have figured out the enrollment regulations and will be announced in a while. At that time, as long as those who meet the conditions can be sent to the martial arts school."

"Young Master really decided?" Wan'er next to her seemed to guess what Zhang Zong was thinking, and immediately asked curiously.

"Well, I've decided!" Zhang Zong nodded, "This matter cannot be dragged on forever, and since it cannot be changed, we can only compromise with each other. I hope that more generals will emerge in the future and don't let my expectations for the martial arts school!"

When Zhang Zong said it at the end, he couldn't help but sigh again. Whenever he wanted to compromise with reality, he felt unwilling to accept it, but there was no way, and sometimes he could only compromise, otherwise no matter how good the solution was, he would not be able to continue.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Taiping said with some dissatisfaction at this time. She was not as smart as Wan'er, nor was she as tacit understanding as Wan'er and Zhang Zong. After all, Zhang Zong spent much longer with Wan'er than her, so sometimes she couldn't understand the conversation between Zhang Zong and Wan'er.

"Haha, what I mean is that the martial arts school will recruit a group of people from the children of nobles and officials, so that they don't have to go to any back door." Zhang Zong explained with a smile. He didn't want Taiping to feel that he was excluded, after all, Taiping is his wife.

"This... isn't this always the case?" Taiping asked again with confusion when he heard this. In her opinion, the Imperial College and the Martial Arts Hall were originally opened for nobles and officials. For example, the Tang Dynasty has always been like this, and she didn't think there was any problem.

"It has always been like this but does not mean that it is correct to do this!" Zhang Zong said again with some seriousness at this time. He did not explain again after saying that, but stood up and wiped his body dry, and changed into the clothes sent by Taiping.

Although Taiping still didn't understand, she didn't ask any questions anymore, because she felt that Zhang Zong was in a bad mood, so she decided to ask Wan'er something she didn't understand later.

After dinner, Zhang Zong locked himself in the study and then picked up his pen to start writing the enrollment regulations of the martial arts school. In fact, he had already thought of several regulations before, but he had been hesitating. However, after talking to Taiping today, he realized that he could no longer hesitate.

In general, the Tang Dynasty was still a feudal society. The nobles and officials were at the top of this society. Of course, the emperor and the royal family were the emperors, but the emperor could not cover up the sky with one hand. Instead, he needed the nobles and officials to help him manage the entire country. These nobles and officials held a large amount of privileges, which is the current situation of society.

Although the social structure of later generations was not much different from that of the Tang Dynasty, at least some supervision made the upper class not dare to do too much, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were no such worries at all, so some privileges had actually formed social rules and could not be changed by him alone.

Since it cannot be changed, we can only follow the trend. The enrollment of the martial arts school will be divided into two parts. The first part is to recruit from the children of nobles and officials. At that time, those who want to go through the back door can send their children to the martial arts school, but they must go through assessments. Only qualified people can stay in the school to study. After all, this is a place to train military generals, not a place to let the playboys play.
