Originally, Yang Yun regarded it as a very sacred thing to come to Yizhou to study at the official school, and in the end this is the highest school in Jiannan Province.

When I came, I found that no one paid attention to it, so I was a little more arbitrary, regarded myself as a spectator, and took Yarou to watch it casually in the official school.

Entering from the opposite moon gate, there is a narrow passage with two red walls, and if you go along the narrow road, you will soon see that it is a lotus pond.

Bypassing the lotus pond and coming to an attic surrounded by green bamboo, Yang Yun thought that this was the place where Xianggong studied, only to find that the inside and outside were connected, and this attic was only a part of the scenery and had no practical function.

Passing through the attic, there was another courtyard, and two people sat opposite each other on the chessboard, one old and one young, with solemn expressions, contemplative brows, and I don't know who it was.

Seeing this, Yang Yun was not bothered, so he walked to the arch on the right instead.

Beyond the arch is another courtyard, a group of scholars are playing with polo sticks, like playing hockey, and a group of small servants next to them are cheering.

"Hey, pass the ball...... Heck, there's the Dragon Gate over there, do you guys know how to play? They snatched the ...... again."

A young gentleman had a loud voice, and the audience heard him shouting, and his teammates next to him looked at him with embarrassed eyes.

"You have the ability."

"There will be a polo match next month, if you can't practice like this, why do you have to have a horse ......"

"Even if you have a horse, there is no place to practice, can you go out of the city to practice?"

The scholars shouted, and then found that there were two more strangers in the courtyard, and immediately surrounded them, blocking Yang Yun's way.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

The scholar who had been shouting the loudest before asked.

Yang Yunguan is a person with a short suit, which is very incommensurate with his identity as a scholar, more like a wine shop, but the fabric of the clothes on his body is very exquisite, and he has a bit of the taste of sportswear in later generations.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "I am a scholar who came to Yizhou to study at the official school, and a township tribute recommended by Hanzhou." ”

The man frowned: "Hanzhou? It is said that there are often barbarians in that place, and the style of writing is not flourishing...... Is there a Hanju here? Who knows him? ”

His eyes wandered around the crowd, but he didn't find anyone who came out to respond, and then the man glared at Yang Yun angrily and said, "Don't steal into the official school to take the sheep by the hand, right?" I haven't heard that there is a township tribute in Hanzhou...... Look at you like this, sneaky, aren't you a spy sent by Qingsong Academy to spy on intelligence? ”

Yang Yun asked curiously, "Qingsong Academy?" ”

The man said: "There will be a polo match next month, and knowing that the strength is not as good as ours, he wants to play yin and send someone to spy on our military situation...... This method is the most inferior...... Get him out. ”

"That's right! Get him out! ”

"Boy, if you don't leave, I'll beat you up, believe it or not?"

A group of people were gearing up and making threats, Yang Yun couldn't help frowning, thinking, "Where did such a group of ignorant scholars come from?" If you want to beat someone, you will come up and try it, and who will you scare with your mouth? ”

At this moment, a person came over at the gate of the courtyard, it was the old man who was playing chess in the courtyard before, and he came in and asked, "What kind of system is the noisy shouting?" ”

The old man was dressed in Confucian clothes, with a goatee, and his spirit was strong, and his voice was like a bell, which suddenly shocked the scholars present.

The scholar who had provoked trouble before went over to salute: "Assistant Teacher Zhang, this kid came from nowhere, look at this small body and actually say that he is a Hanzhou township tribute, it is obvious that he is here to make trouble, and we are working together to drive people away." ”

"Collection of Imperial Decrees of the Tang Dynasty" records: "In the seventh year of Wude, Zhaozhou County and township, and ordered to study", "At the beginning of Wude, the state school was a doctor, assistant teacher, and student. ”

Generally speaking, during the Kaiyuan period, there was a doctor of economics in the Tang Dynasty, two teaching assistants, and the assistant teacher was responsible for lecturing on weekdays.

Assistant Teacher Zhang walked up to Yang Yun, looked up and down, and said: "The old man received a letter from the Hanzhou local government before, saying that he wanted to make up a township tribute, but now is not the normal time to accept the township tribute, and the Hanzhou side did not send a letter to explain what was going on. ”

Yang Yundao: "There is a letter of recommendation from the history of the Hanzhou Thorn. ”

"Assassin's recommendation?"

Assistant Teacher Zhang was taken aback.

Usually, the recommendation of the township tribute does not involve the level of the history of the assassination, the history of the assassin is a feudal official, and he has a wide range of contacts in the court, and Yang Yun can take out the recommendation letter of the history of the assassination, which shows that his background is very unusual.

After Assistant Teacher Zhang read Yang Yun's recommendation letter, he frowned and said, "So there is no problem, go inside and talk." Get out of the way. ”

The surrounding scholars were stunned for a while, many of them were township tributes, but they were not recommended by the assassin history, and they were very curious about what kind of situation could make a assassin personally recommend a young man to come to Yizhou for further study.

"Isn't it just a township tribute? As if who isn't...... This boy does not know each other, and he will have his good fruit to eat later. ”

……

……

Yang Yun followed Assistant Teacher Zhang to a row of bungalows, and entered a place similar to the teacher's office in later generations, which was still laid out with a window mat, and the room full of books diluted the sense of simplicity.

After Assistant Teacher Zhang knelt down and sat down, he read the recommendation letter in detail, compared the notice he received before, and asked Yang Yun's name before registering Yang Yun.

"From now on, you can officially study in the Wenweng Stone Room, and at the turn of spring and summer next year, you can set off to Chang'an with other scholars to participate in the Shangshu Provincial Examination."

After speaking, Assistant Teacher Zhang looked up to see what Yang Yun's reaction was.

Yang Yun didn't want to set off in the coming year, it was right for him to rush to Luoyang to see Yang Yuhuan as soon as possible, and it was not in the plan to go to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination or anything for the time being.

Yang Yun said: "I don't know when I can get the solution?" ”

Assistant Teacher Zhang asked puzzledly: "The Confucian classics of Yizhou official school are the most complete among the state and county official schools in Jiannan Province, and studying here will be of great benefit to you to participate in the imperial examination in the future...... As a local township, why do you think you compete with the students of Chang'an Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan to stand out? People study the scriptures and righteousness hard, and stay up all night, what are you Gongsheng doing? ”

Speaking of this, Assistant Teacher Zhang's tone was full of contempt.

There are two sources for the candidates who participated in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, one was a student and the other was a Xianggong. Born in Jingshi and Zhou County Academy, and the subjects sent to Shangshu Province are called apprentices; The candidates who were not recommended by the school hall and sent to Shangshu Province by the state and county were called Xianggong, and there were very few people in Xianggong High School in the imperial examinations over the years, so Assistant Teacher Zhang was annoyed that Yang Yun asked about the solution as soon as he came up.

Yang Yun immediately thought of the group of township tribute scholars who were practicing polo outside, at this time the students of the Yizhou official school were studying hard in the cold window, trying to win the imperial examination in the coming year, only these scholars who relied on nepotism to get the township tribute quota did not cherish the rare opportunity to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and indulged in fun.

Yang Yun said: "I just want to go to Luoyang after getting the identity of a township tribute, and continue my studies there, I'm afraid I can't wait for the next year to go to Chang'an with others." ”

Assistant Teacher Zhang glanced at Yang Yun with a narrow gaze, and felt that this person was very unacquainted, obviously the government had arranged your itinerary, and the travel expenses and food and drink to Beijing to catch the exam were reimbursed, but you had to go on the road by yourself, isn't this asking for trouble?

Assistant Teacher Zhang's tone was not good: "What you have to do now is to enter the Shike Department of Changju, which means that you must study at least two months in the academy with peace of mind, and only after passing the doctor's poetry and Jingyi assessment can you be eligible to participate in the Shangshu Provincial Examination." If you are not confident in your knowledge, you can go to the backyard school, where there are many students who are dedicated to Jinshi, and it will be beneficial for you to study with them. ”

The Jinshi exam in the Tang Dynasty was not easy.

There has always been a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", that is to say, many people who take the Ming Jing can pass the Shangshu Provincial Examination before the age of 30, but those who can pass the Jinshi at the age of 50 are considered young people.

Even if the Jinshi examination is difficult, people still flock to it, because the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the Jinshi examination, and the prime ministers are basically from the Jinshi department, and the Jinshi and the first are as sacred as the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties who entered the Hanlin Academy.

Yang Yun said: "I know." ”

Assistant Teacher Zhang pursed his lips: "You young people, you are out of nature by nature, you don't know the importance of studying hard, and you can't reach the first place in ten or eight years, so you know that this road to study is not easy." I advise you to go to the backyard to study early, it's better than messing around with the guys outside who don't know how to learn...... Okay, that's where you can live. ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Don't bother Assistant Teacher Zhang, I won't live here in normal times." ”

With Yang Yun's current situation, he will definitely not be able to study at the official school with peace of mind, and there will be many inconveniences for food and accommodation in the school...... At most, he came here to mix a diploma, and it was a miracle that he could usually see others, so he took it for granted that he was a "day student".

Assistant Teacher Zhang was puzzled: "Aren't you from Hanzhou?" What's the matter, is there still a relationship here in Chengdu? ”

Yang Yun smiled slightly: "I rented a courtyard to live in the city, and I have some personal chores to do on weekdays, so I can't stay in the school all the time." ”

Assistant Teacher Zhang said disdainfully: "This is rare, you don't want a place to live...... It's not that I haven't seen anyone looking for a place to live outside, but in the end I came back...... Juyizhou, it's not easy! In short, every night into the official school gate will be latched, if you don't come back, you can only stay outside, every ten years every three or five o'clock, the doctor every eight and enter the official school, don't blame the old man for not reminding you. ”

"Thank you Assistant Teacher Zhang for the reminder."

Yang Yun bowed.

Assistant Teacher Zhang made some more simple explanations, and Yang Yun's admission procedures were completed, and then he came out with Assistant Teacher Zhang.

Unexpectedly, the group of soldiers who played polo before were waiting outside, as if they wanted to settle accounts with Yang Yun.

"It's out!"

Someone shouted, and then a crowd of people gathered around.

Because he was very disappointed that Yang Yun was not at ease studying, Assistant Teacher Zhang put on a posture that he had nothing to do with himself, turned around and left, leaving a group of people around Yang Yun. In this way, even if there is a group fight, it has nothing to do with him as an assistant teacher.
