Seven miles in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, there is a large area of solemn buildings, and Taixue is located here.

Taixue was called Biyong in the Zhou period, and the trinity of Mingtang and Lingtai, and called "Sanyong", which was the core of Zhou politics.

In the former Han Dynasty, there were Confucian scholars who proposed to rebuild it very early, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was busy expanding the territory, and at the same time overhauling the palace to satisfy his own pleasure, and he had no sense of Zhou Zheng and ignored these voices.

Until the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he began to increase his efforts to use Confucian scholars, and the matter of rebuilding Sanyong was re-mentioned by Liu Xiang and others. However, the ancient system of the Zhou Dynasty has long been annihilated and cannot be checked, and Confucius himself probably did not understand it, and the old doctors of the current Wenjing have sectarian disputes, so they have debated for decades, and there is still no unified opinion on how to build the law of Sanyong.

"In the end, the national teacher can't stand it anymore......"

In the past few days, no matter where he goes, someone has mentioned the "National Teacher" with the same name as him, and Liu Xiu is a little annoyed by this old guy.

"You also deserve to be called Liu Xiu?" It hurts so much.

But Liu Xiu did not show dissatisfaction on his face, and still listened to the "main matter" who brought them to be familiar with Taixue - this person was a disciple of the national teacher, named Zheng Xing, whose name was Gan.

"My teacher, Uncle Liu Ying, was a doctor in Taizhong at that time, and he wrote a "Book of Transferring Dr. Taichang", denouncing Dr. Jinwen for being self-contained, keeping the disabled, jealous of the truth, losing his holy will, and falling into the discussion of the scribes."

Since then, Liu Xin has carried the banner of the ancient scriptures and sang against the decayed and defective modern scriptures. After Emperor Han collapsed and Wang Mang returned to power, he began to fully adopt Liu Xin's opinions.

not only included the ancient scriptures in the official school, but also funded Liu Xin, so that he could find the source of Sanyong in the five ancient scriptures collected from the folk and secret mansions, such as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period", "Mao's Poems", "Yili", "Ancient Wenshangshu", and "Zhou Guanjing"!

As for the truth or falsehood, it is up to the benevolent to see what is benevolent.

Now that you have a gourd, it's much easier to draw a scoop.

Zheng Xing said: "It was Gengzi Day in August of the same year, and Jinshang, who was still Zai Heng at that time, arrived here with a policy book, took off his wide clothes and belt, and personally shoveled soil and moved bricks. This matter immediately spread to Jingshi, and the next day, that is, Xinchou Day, 100,000 people came from Jingshi and Sanfu! ”

Among them, there are all living beings, common people, and even businessmen's sons-in-law, who were moved by today's action, and all of them spontaneously ran to help. Under the leadership of the master craftsman, in just 20 days, Sanyong has been completed! ”

What a miracle, in that era of moral decay, people were looking forward to miracles.

Zheng Xing believes all this from the bottom of his heart: "In ancient times, the Duke of Zhou was enshrined as a king, and according to the respect of the Lord of Zhou, it took a full seven years to formulate the Zhou rites. The Zhou rites were abandoned and no one could revive them, and even Confucius hit a wall, but it only took four years to complete the ritual making and making music, and the merit was rotten. In just twenty years, the Ming Hall, Biyong, and Lingtai that have been abandoned for thousands of years have been abandoned, and they will stand again in Si! ”

"Gentlemen, such a meritorious and holy virtue, since the Tang Dynasty and Yu have made a career, and it has become a Zhou industry, and there is no sincerity."

Zheng Xing said excitedly, after all, they have been studying since elementary school, and they regard the restoration of Zhou Zheng as their mission, and now someone has really achieved this, and made Sanyong Zhao, who symbolizes the etiquette and ethics of the Zhou Dynasty, Wang Mang is not a saint, who is?

Is it reasonable that the Han family does not give such a saint in the world?

The students from Nanyang also bowed their heads, but Liu Xiu was the only one who didn't feel good when he heard it. He also studied Confucianism, but he still had the blood of Emperor Han Gao in his body, so how could he not have a sense of sorrow for his homeland.

At the end of the annual routine education, Zheng Xing familiarizes the new students with Taixue.

There are a total of five areas in Taixue, the south is Chengjun, the north is Shangzhen (xiáng), the east is Dongxu, the west is Zongzong, and the middle is called Piyong. Piyong is the largest, built on the water's edge, and the wall is shaped like a wall ring.

Due north is the Taixue dormitory that can accommodate 10,000 people, perhaps because Wang Mang studied hard when he was young, and after becoming the emperor, he was very concerned about the life of Taixue teachers and students.

A market was set up in Taixue to facilitate their lives, and a permanent warehouse was set up to supply food, so that the students would not go hungry. No matter how far or near the buildings are, they are connected by long corridors and eaves, so that students can not be covered in the rain and not be violent in the summer.

Although most of the students from the state and county Taixue are not poor, the county officials are relatively simple, and they are very satisfied after entering the Taixue with a complete system, and they are even more moved by Zheng Xing's praise of the new policy.

After all, Tai Student is indeed the biggest beneficiary of Wang Mang's reform, and the reader has been praised to the highest place for the first time.

Liu Xiu knew what he was doing in Taixue, first he went to Sungkyunkwan in the south, he had a fellow villager and friend, named Zhu You, the word Zhongxian, who enrolled in school a few years earlier, and now stays in Taixue to do "waiting".

When Liu Xiu came to the outside of the Chengjun Lecture Hall, Zhu You was giving a class to a group of Tai students, and when he saw the young man with a big mouth outside the door, he recognized it as Liu Xiu at a glance. Zhu You often went to the Liu family in Chungling when he was young, and he was too familiar with the two brothers.

"Uncle Wen, come in."

Zhu You didn't care about the rules, smiled and beckoned Liu Xiu to enter, and let him sit in the position closest to him, which caused the students to look sideways.

In the middle of the lecture, Zhu You ordered everyone to recite the lesson taught by Fang Cai, and he sat down next to Liu Xiu and said very happily: "Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, a few years ago, Bosheng and I came to Taixue with me to ask you to join you, but you refused, and now you are a new disciple, but I am already a waiter, don't you call Master Sheng to listen?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "If Zhong Zhong is willing to accept me first, why can't you be a teacher?" ”

Zhu You hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's just a joke, there are thirty doctors in this Taixue. Under the doctor, there are eight directors, eight senior brothers, and eight attendants. If you are not a doctor, you can't take in apprentices privately, I just talk to a small waiter, and I only occasionally come to teach on behalf of the teacher, but I am not qualified to teach you. ”

Taixue is also hierarchical, and Zheng Xing, who sang praises to Wang Mang in front of the new students, is in charge, and it was the senior brother who forced Liu Xiu to change his name yesterday, all of whom are higher than Zhu You.

Zhu You also said that he could introduce the teacher to Liu Xiu. Since Wang Mang came to power and Taixue began to expand its enrollment, a total of 1,800 people have traveled here, and the competition has become more and more fierce.

"Taixue has six classics and is divided into twenty family studies, I don't know which one Uncle Wen wants to learn?"

Liu Xiu thought about it when he came, and did not hesitate: "I want to learn "Shangshu"!" ”

Zhu You said: "Could it be because Bosheng came to Chang'an back then, and what he learned was Shangshu?" ”

There is indeed a reason for this, although Liu Xiu mixed up with the quota of Tai students five or six years ago, his mind was all about making friends with heroes, and the books that he spent a lot of money to copy were also thrown at home, but Liu Xiu was bored when he supervised the slaves and maids to do farm work, and turned over them several times.

He came to Taixue not only to learn the scriptures, but also to see the world, know the government, and travel widely.

In addition, Liu Xiu also felt that learning Shangshu could be the way of Ming Renjun to govern the people, and the principle of Ming Xian and his ministers, and under the premise that his brother wanted to do great things, learning it might be beneficial.

"Want to learn ancient texts? Today's article? ”

Zhu You said: "The ancient literature and Shangshu are the famous scholars of today, and the apprentices of the national teachers are the doctors, and there are many people who shoot at the end of the year. ”

"I'm not good at ancient Chinese."

Liu Xiu shook his head, he is now walking around the master and apprentice of the national teacher Liu Xin, how can he still be willing to join in the fun.

Zhu You said again: "There are three schools in this article: "Ouyang Shangshu", "Da Xiahou Shangshu", and "Xiao Xiahou Shangshu", Uncle Wen will pick one. ”

Liu Xiu said casually: "Zhong Xian is familiar with which family, so he recommended me to come over." ”

In the end, Zhu You found the doctor who taught "Ouyang Shangshu" for Liu Xiu, Xu Weng, a native of Lujiang, and Ziwei.

On the day Liu Xiu went to send Xu Ziwei a bundle, it happened to be windy, and before he went out, he felt a chill, and couldn't help tightening the fur suit on his body, shivering.

"It's really cold in the north!"

His hometown of Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou, the climate is warm, which is like Chang'an in the north, a cold wind in winter like a knife to cut meat, after night, the house must be burned to stay.

Zhu You took Liu Xiu to the Shangitch Hall in the north of Taixue, and when he found Xu Ziwei's house, he found that there was already a long queue outside the courtyard where he lived and lectured, but it was other freshmen who came to apprentice.

Liu Xiu was holding a bundle in his hand, and his waist was already hung with the exclusive talisman of each of the Tai students, on which their origins and names were written.

His eyes were drawn to the name of the man in front of him, a surname that was so rare.

"Lieutenant County, Eighth Correction?"

The eighth Jiao in front also glanced back at the big-mouthed young man with beautiful beard eyebrows, and then glanced at the wooden sign on Liu Xiu's waist.

"Former team county, Liu Jiao?"

……

After worshipping the teacher, there was no teaching today, and the eighth correction went back to Chang'an, and he wanted to say goodbye to the fifth Lun, and since then, the eighth correction will live in Taixue.

When I entered the house in Xuanming, I found that it was very lively, not only Jing Dan, but even Wang Long came to live, and he was immersed in copying Sima Xiangru's resignation, which was the "homework" left by Yangxiong for him, the weather was cold, and his hands were red from the cold.

"It's really cold, and the season is coming in soon."

The fifth Lun asked the eighth to come to the house, and the kang had been burned inside, which should be an invention during the Qin and Han dynasties, if there was no such thing in the north, it would be absolutely difficult to survive in winter.

Although the fifth Lun gave up the place of Taixue, he was still quite curious about it, so he asked about the eighth correction's admission feelings, but this question surprised him.

First, when he heard the eighth correction retell the praises of Wang Mang by the principals, and when he heard that 100,000 students and people had been mobilized to go to cultivate Sanyong, the fifth Lun couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wang Mang's guy is indeed very good at engaging in propaganda and mobilizing the masses."

He also remembered the inscription on a bronze mirror in his house.

I looked for it, and I saw that there were two sentences on it: "Xinxing Piyong Jianming Hall, and then the king of the princes of Jutu." ”

"The general ordered Yin Min to do it, all living beings are in the north, and the central music is ......"

It is probably a souvenir made when Sanyong was built.

I also listened to the eighth correction to describe the pattern of Taixue, and the fifth Lun couldn't help it.

"Isn't this the college town of the future? Not only are there more than 10,000 students, but there are also markets and canteens. ”

As for the five parts of Taixue, Biyong, Chengjun, Shangzhen, Dongxu, and 瞽 (gǔ) sects, they are not too similar to those buildings with antique names in later universities.

After Wang Mang and his national teacher completed the Book of Music, plus "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn", the six classics of Taixue are complete, just like the six major colleges.

According to the teacher's training, the chapters and sentences are different, and they are split into many small schools, such as "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", "Ram" and "Liang", which are similar to the departments and majors that are divided under the college.

Thirty doctors are equivalent to professional mentors, and as for the directors, senior brothers, and attendants below, they are like counselors, temporary lecturers, and postdoctoral fellows.

It's a pity, the fifth Lun smiled secretly, it's all liberal arts.

At this time, Jing Dan, who had also studied in Taixue for a few years, came back and added: "In addition to the Six Classics, after His Majesty cultivated Taixue, he also eclectic a net of people with abilities in the world, such as astronomy, geography, diagrams, bell laws, mathematics, moon orders, yin and yang, and the art of war to inform their intentions, all of them were on the bus, and thousands of people gathered in the East Sequence Hall. ”

Wu Lun was stunned again: "This is still a comprehensive university?" ”

Fifth, Lun suddenly felt that the later theory of "the oldest university in the world" was often counted in Europe, and Xin Mang Taixue expressed his disbelief!

He knew that these must be coincidences, but for Wang Mang, Wu Lun is becoming more and more curious, but unfortunately, with his current status, it is almost impossible to see the emperor of the new dynasty.

After calming down, Wu Lun did not regret dropping out. After all, students have to study hard for several years or even ten years, and only after getting the permission of the doctorate can they have the opportunity to take the shooting strategy exam and compete for the 100 job opportunities. Forty people in the first section were awarded the position of Lang official, and only then did they get to the current position of the fifth lun.

If it is in the peaceful season, the fifth Lun has won at the starting line, but it is a pity that this is a troubled time, and sooner or later there will be a reshuffle.

All Fifth Lun can do is accumulate more cards into his hand until then.

He only asked the eighth correction: "Every year, one or two thousand students rush to Chang'an, which can be described as a place where talents gather. ”

The eighth shook his head, he was withdrawn, he was devoted to reading the books of the sages, he had no intention of traveling, and his circle was limited to his fellow villagers in Lieutenant County.

As a result, the eighth correction was taught a lesson by the fifth lun, telling him not to read dead books, and he could not fall behind in communication. The eighth correction immediately promised to know his mistake, saying that now that he has entered the door of Xu Ziwei, the scholar of Jinwen, he will have more contacts with his fellow brothers and sisters.

For example, when the apprentice was queuing, Uncle Liu Wen, the former team who treated him very kindly, looked like an honest man.

This scene made Jing Dan who was on the side couldn't help laughing, obviously the eighth Jiao was several years older than the fifth Lun, how could it seem that he was the sect brother. But after thinking about it, I unconsciously treated Fifth Lun as a peer, and I didn't feel disobedient at all.

"Maybe this is the old man."

At this moment, the door of the courtyard opened, and the fifth blessing drove back with a donkey cart, and after entering the courtyard, he ran and shouted: "Lang Jun, the loess and charcoal you want have been found!" ”
