Worshiping Confucius Temple at the end of the year is a grand event in Jinling. Not only do officials have to go there, but there are also rules in the palace, and all scholars need to visit.

Confucius was known as the most sage and the scholars in the world were all his disciples. Because of this, this kind of ceremony was the most careless.

However, Chen Kaizhi knew that the so-called respect for teachers and the truth was ultimately reduced to form, and many people just go through the motions.

The next morning, my uncle called Chen Kaizhi outside: "Kaizhi, Kaizhi, it's not too early, we're leaving."

Chen Kaizhi had already dressed up and went out, but he saw that Mr. Wu was very "glorious". The Confucian shirt and Luan Scarf on his body were cut from silk. Mr. Wu was "prosperous".

Chen Kaizhi went out to salute to Master Wucai, but he saw two sedan chairs behind him. Chen Kaizhi was bitten by a snake for three years and was afraid of the rope. His heart suddenly stumbled...

Damn, can't I ask me to pay again?

Uncle Wucai naturally saw his thoughts from Chen Kaizhi's face, and criticized Chen Kaizhi with a calm face: "It's getting late, why are you still standing there? Get into the sedan chair."

Chen Kaizhi still said uneasy: "Uncle Master, the student forgot to bring the money for sedan chair."

Uncle Wucai glared at him and said, "Who do you think of Uncle Master? Uncle Master and you will ask you to pay for money when you go out? It's really outrageous!"

Chen Kaizhi was relieved and got into the sedan chair.

When I arrived at Confucius Temple, it was already crowded. Uncle Wucai got out of the sedan chair. Looking at the crowded heads, he curled his lips and said, "Uncle Master hates joining in the fun the most. Alas, if he hadn't given a big gift to the saint, I really wouldn't come here."

The two of them walked through the crowd in sweat, and lined up with the crowd into the Minglun Hall of Confucius Temple and saluted the portrait of Saint Kong. Chen Kaizhicai and Wucai's uncle came out.

Of course, I just gave my respect but couldn't leave, because I still had to click the slogan and I had to go to the small hall on one side to sign, otherwise how can I prove that you have been here?

Chen Kaizhi and Wucai uncle arrived at the small hall, where there were worshipers from Confucius Temple sweating profusely here, holding the list and being surrounded by many students to sign their autographs.

Many students were most anxious to leave, and they couldn't help but push them. The worshiper couldn't help but shouted: "What are you squeezing? Then I'll squeeze them to deal with them."

However, this is of no use.

In fact, learning rules cannot control such small things. After all, the imperial court treats students with kindness and does not commit any major matters, generally speaking, these students will not be punished.

Uncle Wucai bent his chest and stumbled and said, "The world is getting worse and worse. Today is a ceremony to worship Confucius. But look at them, there is no sense of awe. I feel the pain of grasping my heart. I am so polite, so I am so polite..."

After cursing for a few words, he rushed in like other people and shouted: "I'll come first, oh, don't push me. I'm an old student, I'm nearly fifty years old, and my bones are unconscious. If something happens, I put a coffin to your house."

This sentence was actually very powerful. Chen Kaizhi's eyes were straightened. After hesitating for a moment, he rushed in and finally squeezed into the worshipper and signed the name of Chen Kaizhi, a student of Jiangning County Government, on the roster.

The envoy saw the name signed by Chen Kaizhi, looked up at Chen Kaizhi, with a smile on his face, and then said, "Jinning Chen Sheng? Chen Sheng, I have an explanation from Master Xue, please ask you to go to the back hall to drink wine in the village after worshiping the saint."

Chen Kaizhi was slightly relieved: "This... the student is not a juren."

The so-called drinking of rural wine is actually a big deal. After every large-scale sacrifice, the school officials and local parents will host the juren in the back hall of the school temple. Of course, some retired officials will also participate. Because the juren need to go to Beijing for exams in the future, they don’t have much time in the village, so they have a rare opportunity. These people almost entered the official class with one foot and are the stars of tomorrow. So, taking this opportunity, everyone gathered together, and the officials took this opportunity to promote the backwards. These stars of tomorrow, local talents, also took this opportunity to show their faces and pave a good road for their future.

Chen Kaizhi is just a scholar now. Logically, like all students, he is not qualified to go there. Unexpectedly, this worship had been entrusted by someone to wait for Chen Kaizhi to come here.

The worshiper smiled and said, "Chen Sheng-chan is also an ordinary scholar. Since he is the meaning of enlightenment and his parents, why should he be humble?"

Chen Kaizhi nodded, but he was eating, so Chen Kaizhi would never refuse to eat.

He was about to agree, and the uncle Wucai, who was beside him, said, "I am his uncle. I came with him, how can I go differently?"

This is clearly said, let me take care of it.

The worshiper pondered for a while, then said, "Please go together, the governor of Tixue would like to meet Chen Shengjun."

After saying that, he gave a wink to a civil servant, and the civil servant stretched out his hand: "Please."

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Master Wucai, but it was not surprising at all. He followed the civil servant and went to the back hall with the enthusiastic Master Wucai.

The back hall is much quieter. The Confucian Temple is a building that has been around for many years and has been repaired several times.

The Jinling Confucian Temple was built more than 400 years ago. Now the courtyard walls have been renovated, but the trees here are still there. It is said that once spring begins, many towering ancient trees will be like canopys, covering the back hall with no light. Fortunately, it is winter now, which makes it a little more desolate.

After passing through the Saint Stone, the Diligent Learning Pavilion, and passing through the Moon Cave, we arrived at the back hall, and here all the students were already in the seat.

Chen Kaizhi and Wucai uncle went in, and they saw another world in the back hall. More than a dozen officials sat down with their superiors and inferiority. Then there were about thirty juren, two of them knelt on the wine table.

In fact, there are many juren in Jinling, with hundreds of them, but some have already passed the Jinshi, and some are stationed in the capital to prepare for the next year's autumn examination. Some are still at home late, so there are not many people here.

The official position of the Tixue is the governor of the Tixue. The world of Dachen is divided into one capital, two capitals and seven prefectures. The so-called capital is Luoyang, and both capitals are Jinling and Chang'an. The governor of the Tixue has ten positions in the world, all of which are the highest academic officials in the capital, the capital, and the seven prefectures. Although Jinling is a prefecture, it has a status of a distinguished person, so it is also a governor of the Tixue, who is the chief of the academic government and has a high status.
