Chapter 367(1/2)
From martial arts to Chang'an, it is only a hundred miles away, and it is not far away. The post cavalry can reach it in one day, and any military information in Youfufeng can be quickly transmitted to the King of Wei.
It was not close, but Chenggong took his disciples and walked for several days.
They rested in the pavilion house at night. The abandoned pavilion-level system in the troubled times was gradually restored after January. In addition, the King of Wei spent a lot of effort to send Deng Ye and others to suppress the bandits. As long as there are more people, there will generally be no trouble.
It’s just that I can’t be satisfied with the accommodation, and I can’t even sleep in the courtyard of the pavilion, because it is preferred for the past officials and soldiers to live there.
At least, there are windproof walls and rainproof eaves, which are much better than when Chenggong was a little bit short of that.
He also did not forget to recite the Analects of Confucius with his disciples.
"What's so bad?" Lying on the straw mat, Chenggong asked in love with the heart.
The disciples immediately responded: "The Master said, why are gentlemen living there so ugly?"
Chenggong smiled: "What about the previous sentence?"
"I want to live in the Nine Wilds."
"Which article comes from?"
"The ninth chapter of Zihan."
The first half of the night passed by their recitation, and the next morning, many people got up and took the time to continue reading. There were very few people who had copied the entire Analects of Confucius, and they could only read a volume together, which was still scattered, but it was okay, Chenggong was their textbook! These days, teaching is mostly dictated, and the premise of becoming a Master is amazing memory.
When I set out on the road again, I still recited the scriptures along the way, and occasionally stopped by the Wei River to cook and wash.
Chenggong's youngest disciple is only sixteen years old. He has grown up so old that he has never left Wugong County. At this moment, he only said with emotion: "In late spring, the spring clothes are completed, five or six or seven boys are crowned, and six or seven boys are bathing in Yi, the wind is dancing in the chime, and the song is back. That's what I mean?"
When the Chenggong counts, the number of people is really the same.
When this pleasant atmosphere was seen in the Chang'an city wall, it became shocking. Few disciples who had been to the capital were shocked by the huge prosperity here, but Chenggong secretly sighed: "It's far worse than the ordinary season."
But at least under the control of the King of Wei, order was restored countless times better than his hometown Langya, which was still in dire straits after being disturbed by the Red Eyebrow.
Two days before the first day of March, the disciples were eager to enter the city, but suffered a great humiliation at the city gate.
Because the accent of the right Fufeng was too strong, the eldest disciple Na Na asked the Wei soldiers who needed a certificate to enter the city. The other party did not understand. Seeing that they were dusty, many of them had holes in their shoes. They just thought they were refugees and called them: "Refugees who want to be naturalized will register at the city gate, and then someone will take you to a resting place. The more people, they will take them to Shanglin County to settle in the military farm."
For scholars, this is tantamount to a great humiliation. Chenggong was amused and crying. After asking questions in person, he realized that those who took the shooting test did not have to enter the city and just go straight to the Imperial College in the south of the city.
"Taishao..."
Chenggong Mingran led his disciples to the south along the city wall.
The closer it is to the southern suburbs, the more silent Chenggong became. A few years ago, after leaving Langya and entering the pass, Chenggong took his master Xu Gong's handwritten letter to visit a senior brother of the Imperial College. He wanted to listen to the Imperial College, but was humiliated.
"The Tai students are quota for each county every year, and they are recommended by the county. Either they have to have a teaching or family wealth. Do you have it?"
Does he have it?
Chenggong was poor and had nothing except a studious heart. He lowered his head and said that he did not want to squeeze out the quota. He only wanted to stand and listen to a few lessons and listen to the saints' learning, and was even more ridiculed.
Only then did he realize that in the Imperial Academy, the faction was said to be complicated and the doctors cherished themselves. Except for the disciples, no one was allowed to teach them.
After several years, the Taixue opened its doors to him and his disciples.
The household registration was chaotic, and the talismans in the Han Dynasty were almost abandoned. Now, no matter where people from all counties under the rule of the King of Wei, they had to issue an identity certificate named "Letter of Introduction" from the local government, and sealed to count.
After handing over this object, he was able to enter. The disciples behind Chenggong sighed again with unknown sighs.
No matter how far or near the Taixue architecture is, it is connected by a long corridor and has eaves, so that students will not be able to rain or have their heads in the heat. If they can learn here, I wonder how many times better than the big locust tree in martial arts.
"How great would it be if we could listen to the Master's lecture here!" The disciples' eyes were full of longing.
When Lao Wangmang first expanded the Imperial Academy, he built a dormitory for the "10,000 districts" for the Imperial students, which means that tens of thousands of people could live in. During the war, he was once a military camp. Now that the army has withdrawn, he has welcomed various candidates.
But in Chenggong's eyes, the lush trees in the past were cut down and burned by Chang'an people in the last cold winter, and many door panels were removed. It's fine, just put a desk in place.
After they moved into Tai Student House, they found that there was thick dust here, not cleaning, and they had to do it.
"Teacher, I found the list where I lived in this house."
When a disciple cleaned the bed, he found a good thing, made it out and blew it clean, and read the name of the person above: "The team that sacrificed his life to Baishui Township, Caiyang County...Liu Jiao?"
...
In the next two days, more and more candidates were admitted to the Imperial Academy, either riding tall horses and coming, or walking together in plain clothes. Behind them, there were also children with a whole set of utensils.
The Confucian scholars of Han emphasized learning and family rules. The King of Wei’s shooting exam rarely attracted a lone wolf. Whether it was a doctoral disciple in official studies or a scholar from private schools, they basically acted in a unified manner, either not to come, one by one, and there were many people like Chenggong who led the team to refer to it.
After each family moves in the back district, it is necessary to visit neighbors and discuss their own family rules.
"We are the descendants of the "Little Xiahou Shangshu". We have been a preacher of the school in this world, with more than a thousand disciples, and hundreds of them in Guanzhong."
"Little Xiahou also came from my "Shangshu of Daxiahou", and my family participated in the Shiqu Pavilion."
"Daxiahou came from my "Ouyang Shangshu". We were the orthodox Shangshu, and he became a prominent scholar in the Wu of Han Dynasty."
"Hahaha, please stop fighting. We are disciples of Fu Gong, Hanoi. This time, as many as a hundred people entered the capital. Fu Gong was the orthodox descendant of the Fu Sheng Shangshu in the early Han Dynasty."
The descendants of various Shangshu traced their origins for a long time. Only when they showed up in the face of the disciples of "Auspicious Book of Shangshu" did they all point their fingers at them: "False scriptures, heresy!"
Similar to the Shangshu, poetry, rituals, and spring and autumn were also the struggle between various schools. After the chaos in the midst of the rebellion, they had not gathered together for a long time like today, as if the grand occasion of the Imperial Academy had sounded.
"This is the Shilin, who climbs up the qualifications, respects old friends, argues about the classics, discusses the family law of millions of words, and learns the Dharma." Chenggong did not join in. His master Xu Gong was not one of the three major schools of the Spring and Autumn Period. He only spreads the scriptures but did not teach them. He did not even have the qualifications to speak to various schools of scholars. He was already a favorite student of the Master, but he could not even get the qualifications to enter the Taixue View...
Chenggong closed the door of the house and found that the disciples were disturbed a little nervous.
Some people came to see the prosperity of Chang'an, and saw the other disciples' family backgrounds, so they felt ashamed.
The rest of the people heard the teachings of the students outside, just like they were talking about the ancient sayings of the Yin and Zhou dynasties. They couldn't understand at all, and they were immediately panicked.
"Let them argue." Chenggong smiled and said, "The King of Wei said in his edict that this time, he only took the elementary school exams, not the Five Classics exams!"
Chenggong was very grateful to King Wei, if it weren't for this unique shooting test...
"I, a rural scholar in Chenggong, and my humble disciples, will never be able to come to the Hegemonic School in this life, and compete with the orthodox people of the Five Classics and compete with the orthodox people!"
...
There are five buildings in the Taixue School, called Piyong in the middle, and surrounded it with water; the south of the water is Chengjun, the north of the water is Shangkao, the east of the water is the east of the water is the blind zong, and the west of the water is the blind zong.
Except for Biyong, the rest of the world was requisitioned by the King of Wei as an examination venue. Officials were sent to the door one day in advance to inform the students of the examination venue. The King of Wei originally wanted to completely break up according to the strokes of the surname, but considering that this was the first time to select a scholar, both the candidates and the organizers were in a hurry and the rules were not perfect. For the sake of management, the examination venue was still allocated according to their hometown.
"The number of people is far less than expected."
As one of the imperial examiners, Wang Long, Fengchang, read the list several times in the past few days, and only more than 2,000 people came in total, which was far from the expected three to four thousand. He couldn't help but frown: "Most doctoral disciples in Beijing refer to it, are there really so many Wuling private school disciples who are all resistant?"
Wang Long now has a little clarity of his junior brother's temperament, and he has a clear distinction between love and hate. For example, treating the kind-hearted teacher Yang Xiong, he is always safeguarding him and never giving up until he brings Yang Ziyun to the altar.
But when it comes to those who disobey him, King Wei will not say anything on his face, but just like he is passing Chang'an for five times and failing to enter the capital, these private students are impulsive and may not be imprisoned for life and will no longer be an official...
"It's not the case."
The young master Du Lin said carefully: "There are still many people who are delayed on the road, and at most people from Wuling and Chang'an. The farthest one is to learn the news in advance and arrange carriages and horses to enter the capital. In addition, many scholars from Youfufeng in Hedong are still on the road, but the king is not allowed to move the exam time limit."
While the two were talking, a group of heavy troops defended the chariots and horses also entered the Imperial Academy, all of which were Dutch Erectile Dysfunction guards in the palace, and the embroidered guard Zhang Yu followed. The baskets of the boxes were the test questions!
This is just the three subjects of classics, mathematics and common sense that I have taken together today. At least they participated in the question setting and knew the final answer. As for tomorrow's "strategy theory", the King of Wei personally decided to take it. No one knew what kind of questions the fifth reunion would give to torture the candidates...
Wang Long and Du Lin looked at each other and saluted the Grand Tutor Zhang Zhan in front of him. As an official in charge of culture and education, he had just entered the palace to meet the fifth reunion.
"Taoshi, I wonder what the king has to say?"
Zhang Zhan always said with a stern face, "The king said that there is only one key point in this exam."
“Fair, fair, or fair!”
"Two words, the king said it three times."
Filial piety is the cornerstone of the fifth relationship. Due to this, it is difficult to recruit people who are "stolen by the gold" publicly. Even if you don't value private morality in other aspects, the exams for selecting students are different, and credit and fairness are particularly important.
"Therefore, we must repeatedly warn that all those who cheat will be expelled on the spot and will never be recorded!"
"And if the invigilator and those who determine the scores are punished if they commit personal gains and commit fraud!"
Zhang Zhan is really right in charge of culture and education. Although he was a good man when he was in charge of the county, he was dignified and serious in his education and advocated etiquette, and had rules for every move.
However, Zhang Zhan's idea was to first imitate the "Yi Xue" of the fifth reunion in his hometown, and to the elementary school, even if the fifth reunion requires it, he would add mathematics and common sense to the elementary school education, and he also recognized it. After all, Zhang Zhan is not a mediocre scholar.
Then proceed step by step, build county schools well, and then seek to restore the Imperial College and even the shooting test.
But the fifth reunification did the opposite and decided to use the final exam to in turn influence the focus of Chinese Chinese education. It also predicted: "As long as people know strategy, mathematics, and common sense are the criteria for selecting scholars, they will naturally pay attention to it."
Zhang Zhan couldn't say anything about him and only sighed secretly: "I just hope this is the beginning of the country's re-promotion of culture and education!"
While speaking, the officials reported that the truth had arrived!
“Beat the drum.”
"The exam starts!"
...
The rumble drum beats rang out in the Imperial Academy and spread throughout the four halls of Chengjun, Shangkai, Dongxu, and Blind Sect.
Chenggong and his disciples are in the Shangjia Pavilion, and the examination room is the school where students used to teach. After all, there is no time to create a special examination room.
Although the Taixue was rushed in by riots during the war and all the documents were burned as firewood, the fifth reunion spent a lot of money this time, at least every candidate had a case and a seat - many of them were taken out from the palace, which was another point worthy of the scholars' praises.
Each examination room had twenty or thirty people, and two officials drawn from Weiyang Palace stood one by one, one behind and one behind. The black-robed robe and squeaker standing in front was smiling, but the one behind was wearing a sword and a gaze.
"I heard that the one standing behind was the supervisors arranged in each team in the King of Wei's army, who were specially designed to kill the soldiers who turned around and fled."
