It is not without warning that Guozixue was merged into Taixue and put under the management of Guozijian, but it has existed for a long time and never imagined that it will be abolished one day.
Guozixue was originally established for the children of officials in the Enyin Jing Dynasty, and the teachers there are all famous academicians with excellent knowledge, and they have benefited a lot from their professors. With talent and learning, it is also to help in future official careers. Because the students who first went out from here did learn something, their official career was smoother than Enyin, the son of an ordinary honored official, and he was quite respected in the court. This made everyone flock to him and want to squeeze in to study in order to smooth his official career in the future.
Did you ever think that the later development would turn the cart before the horse? Those who entered the official family thought that entering Guozixue means walking on the Qingyun Road. In addition, as the second generation of officials, they have no worries about official careers. Putting your mind on your studies is just a formality. These children played truant frequently and didn't pay much attention to the exams, and the university scholars all turned a blind eye when they saw this. There is no power that cannot enter this country, and where they will go in the future will also be determined by the official positions of their parents, and it doesn't matter if they learn or not.
Some courtiers thought that Guozixue had lost its original meaning, but it was superfluous, and those officials' children who entered the school were just going to dawdle. Those well-known scholars also felt disrespected and were unwilling to serve as teaching doctors of Guozixue. Since Emperor Qianxing ascended the throne, the overall number has been reduced to more than 30 people, which is half less than before.
Emperor Qianxing made a sudden inspection some time ago and found that there were less than five people from Guozixue! Either sleeping or reading miscellaneous books, no one was paying attention to the class, and suddenly flew into a rage. If it wasn't for the advice of the ministers later, all the students would have been "repelled by Xia Chu", that is, ordered to drop out of school. In addition, he had to read the crime in front of everyone, and then he was punished with flogging. This is the most serious punishment in the Taixue.
Although he did not act in this way in the end, Emperor Qianxing ordered to suspend classes for several days for rectification. When it was never thought of opening again, Guozixue had been merged into Taixue, and many rules had been changed. In fact, Guozixue has been criticized for a long time, but all the officials are beneficiaries, and the opposition is weak, so it has survived for so many years. Emperor Qianxing made such a big commotion this time, and it took only a month before and after, which was quite surprising.
Many people speculated about the holy meaning, and felt that Emperor Qianxing had always had a dislike for Guozixue, and now that the rules are as strict as those of Taixue, how would those dandies adapt to it. Don't want to break the school rules at that time and be really "rebuked by Xia Chu", then you will never be able to enter the official career again. Therefore, when Guozixue reopened, there were only twelve students left. Among them were five freshmen, including Zhuang Zhong and Lu Balang.
Zhuang Zhong and other students stood in front of the admonition monument, listening to Xuezheng explaining the school rules word by word, all of them looked serious and respectful. It's impossible not to do this, King Si Zhao is watching from the side.
Just now when someone heard that they had to gather at the Shoushan Hall every day to sign in, Xuezheng snorted. Xuezheng wanted to punish him with three rules for his misbehavior, but he refused to hide. All very classic lines - my father is XX, you dare to touch me. At this moment, King Sizhao who appeared from nowhere like a ghost fired that man on the spot!
That person was about to comment, when Feng Huan said directly, "Your father's position should be replaced by someone else."
According to Feng Huan's ability and courage, this sentence is not just a threat. In the past, the second-rank official offended Feng Huan, and in the end he was kicked off and sent back to his hometown. Don't dare to fight if you want to play tricks, Feng Huan has five thousand soldiers! That person didn't dare to speak anymore and left in despair. Zhuang Zhong lost a classmate before he entered school, and he didn't even know his name. In this way, who dares to disrespect, everyone shrank their heads and listened to the school rules.
"Students must abide by the school rules." Xuezheng finished talking about the school rules, and everyone brushed up.
When the dormitory was divided, many people were dumbfounded, there was no single room, and all had to share with others. If it weren't for King Si Zhao still standing by, he would have started to howl.
A bold person asked, with a respectful attitude, "Xuezheng, why is there no single room, there are people around me who can't sleep at night."
Xuezheng glanced at that person, "Husbands and wives also need to share the same bed. Could it be that you will not get married because of this?"
The man choked and murmured: "Women are different from men."
King Si Zhao snorted coldly, "It's the same when the lights are off."
Everyone was holding back their laughter, and Xuezheng's serious and rigid face couldn't help but twitch. The man wanted to make jokes, but it was obvious that King Sizhao glanced at him sharply, not daring to speak anymore, for fear of making this eccentric prince think about him.
Zhuang Zhong is not very surprised to live with others. According to the rules of Taixue, only the students with the best grades in the upper dormitory can live in a single room, and the rest must live with others. Shesheng is a room for four people. If there is a change in the ranking during the exam, even the dormitory may have to be replaced, which is also a benefit for top students. The students of Guozixue can live in a two-person room as soon as they come, which is already very preferential treatment, compared with ordinary students in the dormitory.
Xuezheng said again: "If you want to stay in a single room, there is nothing wrong with it, you only need to pass the public test to get in."
The face of the people who had hoped a little bit collapsed, the formula is not easy to say. Looking at the current appearance, the exam will not be as loose as before, and it needs real talents and real learning. If there is real talent and real learning, who would have entered Guozixue before, or directly entered Taixue or directly took the imperial examination, and the students who passed the exam here, as long as they know a little bit of winking, they will know how to smooth their future official career with their eyes closed.
King Si Zhao was by his side, and no one dared to complain.
After Xuezheng finished speaking, King Sizhao said: "Although Guozixue is merged into Taixue, anyone who wants to choose law school, martial arts, imperial medicine, painting academy, etc. can choose, as long as he studies seriously, the emperor will pay attention to it in the future. "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. Although King Si Zhao spoke in a vague way, everyone understood. No wonder King Sizhao appeared here. Although King Sizhao was assigned to govern the Guozijian, he didn't really intervene in the affairs of it. It only curbed the phenomenon of some powerful people's domination. It turned out that King Sizhao came to convey the will of Emperor Qianxing, and having this sentence can be regarded as a kind of promise.
None of the other academies received as much attention from the imperial court as Taixue, and the official careers of the children who came out from there were far inferior to Taixue. But with Emperor Qianxing's words, it was different, and many people pondered in their hearts. Taixue has a total of more than 3,000 students, while other colleges have only two to three hundred students. The competition of Taixue is much greater than other colleges.
As soon as Lu Balang heard this, he directly chose martial arts. Dayou's martial arts is not only about learning martial arts, but more importantly, learning the art of war. In any case, this is much better than asking him to study the "Nine Classics". On the other hand, Zhuang Zhong chose the Law School, which mainly teaches judging cases and learning laws and regulations. Two others chose martial arts, one chose Taixue, two chose painting academy, etc., and the rest still insisted on staying in Taixue.
In this way, Zhuang Zhong and Lu Balang could not live together. Although all schools are here, they also have their own territories. It just so happened that there were not enough rooms for the law school, so Zhuang Zhong was stuffed into the nearest Taixue dormitory.
The residence is very clean and bright, and it is quite spacious. Although they share beds with others, they are not close to each other. One person occupies a corner, and they won't disturb each other, which is much better than Zhuang Zhuang imagined, but the roommates don't seem to be very friendly.
Before Zhuang Zhong entered the room, the man gave a cold snort and left with the book in his arms, without even looking at him. Passing by, Zhuang Zhuang heard a sentence very well, "If things go on like this, the country will not be the country. The sky is not fair, only you can stand up and go against the sky."
The solemn face turned into the word '囧', what did he do to attract such a hot sentence. This also allowed him to truly see how relaxed Dayou's political environment is. If such words were put in the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be punished by the nine clans. And Dayou college students even dared to directly attack the prime minister and other high-level executives. In the past, he even dismissed a minister who held great power. There are rumors in the market that being targeted by Tai students is more terrifying than being targeted by admonishers.
"Brother Jiang Xun has a lonely personality. After getting acquainted with him, I know that he has no malicious intentions." A man in a bamboo green robe walked in and said. The man is about twenty years old, with an outstanding face, and a gentle atmosphere exudes from his whole body. A slight smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Zhuang Zhong hastily made a bow, "My Majesty, Zhuang Zhong, is a law student, may this be your honorable name, brother?"
The man returned the salute, "I'm Xiatang Baishan, a student of the imperial court, if I don't dislike you, how about my brothers?"
There was nothing wrong with Zhuang Zhong, and he asked again: "Brother Tang's words, he is quite familiar with my classmate? I'm new here, so I don't want to bother him for violating the prohibition."
Tang Baishan smiled and said: "Brother Jiang Xun is very talented, and his articles are often praised by Mr. If there is no accident, the next public examination will be the first class in the upper house. Brother Jiang Xun has to go to the library at this time, so he is in a hurry."
The public examination is held once a year, which can be called a promotion examination, and Dayou Taixue’s upper class is no more than three people each time, which is higher than the top three in the imperial examination. It can be said that the elite among the elites will have a prosperous official career and be respected by the world.
It would not be surprising if Jiang Xun really had such a talent and arrogance. Zhuang Zhong not only opened the back door to enter, he was also a monk in the past. For Confucian scholars who are arrogant and talented, it is really unbearable to live in the same room.
"So that's the case, but I disturbed his peace."
Tang Baishan quickly explained, "Brother Jiang Xun is dedicated to doing things, especially when he has something on his mind. I'm afraid I didn't pay attention for a while, so please don't take it to heart."
"Brother Jiang just doesn't like me." Zhuang Zhuang said with a smile, thinking that Tang Baishan is quite a nice person. He doesn't care about these, the big deal is just ignoring each other in the future.
Tang Baishan is a very enthusiastic person, walking around with dignity. Because several colleges are together, it is very common to have cross-teaching. Tang Baishan is very familiar with all the colleges, and introduced them one by one for Zhuang Zhuang, so that Zhuang Zhuang quickly got a general understanding and would not be at a loss. Solemn was very grateful for this, it was tantamount to wasting Tang Baishan's afternoon in vain.
There are not many courses in Taixue. Most of the time they are self-study, and they pay more attention to self-thinking and understanding. It sounds easy, but it's not. Taixue has a lot of various exams and various homework. If you are not diligent, you will be eliminated. It is completely different from the looseness of the former Guozixue, and the requirements are very strict.
The public examination will start in two months, and it will determine Tang Baishan's future career. The time was pressing, but he was still willing to take such pains for a stranger, which moved Zhuang Zhong very much.
"Brother Tang is really thanks to you today. I have benefited a lot from what I said today. It's just that it's really delaying Brother Tang's homework..."
Tang Baishan smiled and said: "It's just a little effort, it's nothing to worry about."
"How about we have a drink with dinner?"
Tang Baishan hesitated for a moment, "That's fine, it's to clean up my younger brother."
Taixue is free of board and lodging, and there are regular meals. If you don't like it, you can pay out of your own pocket. There is also some wine, but it is not free, and the price is a bit high. Dayou literati like things in their cups, and only when they are slightly drunk can they reprimand Fang Qiu.
Jiang Xun happened to be passing by at this time, and there was extreme contempt in his words, "Maggots grow from the power of the flames, and the heart of corruption is disgusting."
The author has something to say:
PS: Taixue or something, the framework is still in accordance with the Song Dynasty, and the details are fabricated by myself. Tai students were really awesome at that time, and some of them were quite reckless.
