Chapter 146: Taixue

On this day, Mu Jing cleaned up very neatly, wearing a plain white Confucian robe, wearing jade on his waist, tying a long sword, and his hair was neatly bunned, and he was bunned up with his hair in a bun.

Beside him, he was followed by Huo Yu, a long-term confidant, Zhang Huo, a strong guard with strong martial arts, and Jiang Lu, who was dressed as a scholar like him.

The four of them drove the carriage and walked out of the Yang Gate.

"This is Taixue?"

Mu Jing stepped out of the carriage and looked at the huge building, but there was a desolate atmosphere: "Why doesn't it look very lively!" ”

He came here after planning and then acting, and he came here with a certain understanding of Taixue.

Taixue, this word has existed since the time of the Zhou Dynasty.

However, the establishment of the academy was a matter of the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It is the only government university established in the Han Dynasty, and it is considered the originator in the history of the university, and is known as the first government university.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, and Taixue became a holy land of Confucianism.

Even Liu Xiu, the former Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, used to be a student.

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu began to build the Taixue of the Eastern Han Dynasty outside the gate of Kaiyang City, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty also preached in Taixue, and Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty began to rebuild the Taixue, and summoned more than 11,000 apprentices, and it took a year to build the Taixue that is now seen and seen.

Among the Taixue, it covers a vast area, built more than 240 rooms, more than 1,800 rooms, can accommodate tens of thousands of people to study, it is rumored that when Taixue was at its peak, there were more than 30,000 students in Taixue.

In this backward era, the proportion of literate people in the world is incredibly low, and 30,000 people are literate, which is a staggering number.

At the same time, it also illustrates the prosperity of Taixue.

It's a pity that there are no flowers for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, and the prosperous Taixue will come to an end after all.

Nowadays, there are only a few hundred students who are too learned, and it is already a deserted Confucian holy land.

"In the past, Taixue was a holy place of Confucianism, naturally lively, how many students in the world took entering Taixue as the goal, and how many students rushed to the capital to admire the demeanor of Taixue, but unfortunately now it is ......"

Jiang Lu's eyes also looked at this Taixue Academy, the buildings on it were very majestic, continuous, ups and downs, spectacular and beautiful, but there were very few Taixue students who could see them coming in and out, and his heart was a little sad.

When did Taixue start falling, Jiang Lu knew very well in his heart, after all, he could also aim to enter Taixue in the past, and he was very concerned about Taixue.

This history should have started with the participation of students in politics.

There are many people who read, green plums cook wine, and talk about the world, it is inevitable that they will be involved in the government.

In the past, Chen Fan, Li Ying and other scholars and Confucians opposed the dark rule of eunuchs, and the students responded one after another, so Taixue became the target of the eunuchs.

In the two party bans, how many Taixue students were implicated, which made the reputation of Taixue students plummet.

In the first year of Xiping, more than 1,000 Taixue students were arrested and imprisoned by eunuchs, and they were completely sunk in the backbone.

The curtain of Taixue has ended, and the students have passed, and they are almost about to be abandoned by the Taichang Bureau, and they are ready to use these buildings for other purposes.

At this time, Cai Yong came back.

Cai Yong called on Shilin with the strength of one person, recruited scholars from all sides, and reversed the situation of Taixue without life, with the support of Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, Ma Rijiao and others, and finally rejected the idea of the Son of Heaven and let Taixue see the Son of Heaven again.

In the past two years, Cai Yong has put all his efforts into Taixue, and only then can he be regarded as recovering Taixue and being a little angry.

However, today's Taixue is 108,000 miles different from the Taixue of the past, and it cannot be compared.

"Let's go inside!"

Mu Jing didn't have too much feelings, the purpose of his coming today was very clear, to see Taixue sacrificial wine Cai Yong.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Lu cleaned up his emotions and stepped into the gate of Taixue.

At the entrance, along the corner of the wall, a total of 46 stone tablets were erected, and each stone tablet had dense fonts on it, which looked very spectacular.

"This is the Xiping Stone Sutra!" Jiang Lu looked at this stone tablet, his eyes brightened, his expression was burning and hot, and his face was in awe.

"Xiping Stone Scripture?"

Mu Jing naturally heard of these stone tablets.

The Xiping Stone Scripture was ordered by Emperor Ling in the past years to let Taixue gather the strength of all people and carve it with the scriptures of the Seven Classics of Confucianism, which was set up in front of Taixue and could be copied by others.

In this era of closed knowledge, it is a very difficult thing to pass on knowledge, most of the scriptures and classics are in the hands of the family gatekeeper, there are many people who want to read but can't read, the gold of books is incomparable in the eyes of readers.

And the Xiping Stone Scripture is a milestone in breaking the closure of knowledge, even if the effect is not very strong, but it has opened an opportunity for the poor scholars to study.

Therefore, in the eyes of many readers, these steles are of great historical significance.

"Soon, they're even more meaningful!"

A playful smile rose at the corner of Mu Jing's mouth.

Both of them are dressed as scholars, and they don't have much temperament, with a little bit of bookish temperament, it is not difficult to enter the gate of Taixue, after all, today's Taixue, there are not even some guards, it is not as strict as the management in the past, as long as it is a reader, you can enter and exit.

After walking in, they realized that in fact, the inside of Taixue was not as desolate as the outside, and looking at the past, there were still many scholars.

"Didn't you say that there are only five or six hundred students now?"

Mu Jing frowned, the more he walked in, the more lively it became, and the reading people gathered together in twos and threes, and talked about it, which made him feel like he was visiting the market.

"Too students are too students, and scholars are scholars, you see, those who wear you and the blue and white Confucian robes are too students, too students are strictly recruited, and during their studies, they are dressed and fed consistently, and the others should be scholars from outside!"

Jiang Lu said to Mu Jing analytically.

"So many readers?" Mu Jing frowned: "Could it be that there is something big about Taixue today?" ”

"A few brothers are also here to listen to political discussions?"

At this time, a scholar walked over from behind, saw the Confucian robes on Mu Jing and Jiang Lu, and immediately became a scholar, and hurriedly saluted.

"On politics?"

Mu Jing's eyes were a little puzzled.

"It is rumored that among Taixue, there will be a Confucian discussion on politics once a month!" Jiang Lu suddenly remembered: "Maybe it's today!" ”

Taoist priests talk about Taoism, Buddhism talks about Buddhism, and Confucianism talks about world affairs and court affairs.

The discussion between these scholars is a tradition handed down by Confucianism, and it is also an opportunity for scholars to make a name for themselves.

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time!"

Mu Jing was interested, and said: "Today, let's see the so-called Confucianism on politics!" ”

Confucianism on politics is not a debate meeting for later generations?

He wanted to see what the scholars of this era were talking about, as an alternate reader, he was integrated into the circle of Shilin, so he had to learn to get used to some Confucian traditions, and it was best to make use of them.
