Chapter 70: Guozijian and Jinyiwei
Nanjing Guozijian is located near Chengxian Street in Jinwu Back Street.
"To say that when Taizu was in power, this country eunuch has always been a place that students love and fear. What I love is that as long as you can survive until the graduation of Guozijian, you will be at least a county magistrate when you take office, and if you are lucky, you can even become a political envoy; What I hate is that the rules in the Guozi Prison are strict, and if you are not careful, you will eat a meal of the board, and at worst, you will be sent to Yunnan to fill the army and even be executed. This crime outside has to be convicted and executed, but in this country, as long as you sacrifice a word of wine, a life will be lost. ”
On this day, Zhang Yue and Fangling Sun Han came to the outside of the national prison together, and listened to the two of them talk about the past prison rules in the national prison, and couldn't help but feel cold all over their bodies - this is still the national prison, what is the difference between this and the prison? Eating and sleeping must be in it, except for the New Year's holidays, no leave, no handover, no discussion of state affairs...... These rules are really only set by a rare high-pressure emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing Zhang Yue's face pale, Fang Ling smiled on the side: "But that's all in the past, after the emperor ascended the throne, the rules in this country have been abolished a lot, and there are many Aiwen among the children of the heroes, so we can't still restrict everyone from eating and living in this ghost place." There are a lot of nerds in the country, and there are a lot of interesting people, let's go, let's go in and have a look. ”
Actually, Zhang Yue really doesn't have much interest in reading - not to mention Guozijian, he has a headache at the end of the school - if it weren't for Du Zhen's private teaching, he has always been eclectic and whimsical, I am afraid that he will also embark on the road of martial arts like Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi. Although he has a little talent for reading, and he took the exam early, and the annual exam is still first-class, but it is all the heart sutra taught by Du Zhen for the examination, if he really studies in this country for a few years, he must not become a fool?
If it were placed on weekdays, the country would naturally not allow outsiders to enter and exit at will, but at this time it was the Spring Festival holiday, and Sun Han of Fangling was not an ordinary prisoner, they were all children of meritorious heroes, so the guards of the door also turned a blind eye and let them take Zhang Yue in to visit, laughing at the string of money and kindly sending a reminder.
"Today, someone is patrolling inside with Master Jiuxiao, the priest of the country, and the three sons should be careful when they go in and out."
Guozi's sacrificial wine is from the four grades, and it is the most important duty, and in the country's three-third of an acre, he is like the Son of Heaven, and the prisoners under him will never dare to disobey. At that time, the precedent of donating prisoners had not yet been opened, and Zhang Zuo was stunned that he had only graduated after five years of study in Guozijian, and it was even more a dream to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. Therefore, even after a hero like Fangling Sun Han, as soon as he heard that Xiao Wei, the priest of the country, was still there, he even walked carefully after entering.
So, after visiting Guozijian's house and classroom, and basically turning the whole place, Zhang Yue smiled dryly at Fang and Sun: "Brother Fang, Brother Sun, don't you want to lead me to the thief ship?" I can guarantee that if I enter this place, I will be crazy in less than two months. The two of you can actually survive, the little brother really admires it. ”
Fang Ling and Sun Han glanced at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. The older Fang Ling spread his hands helplessly and said: "I won't tell you, I am the second eldest in the family, and I am a concubine, and my father's title of commander must not be my share." My family is not thicker than your Zhang family's official foundation for generations, if I can't find a way out, I will wait for death in the future. Ask my grandson, he is the second grandson in the family, and the situation is similar to mine. ”
"Although you are an only child, your father is the third child, and he has not been a leader, and the situation is not much different from ours. Except for your two cousins, there are few heroes next to you who are more kind to the eldest son, not to mention that my brother and I are both the third generation. Sun Han looked extremely sincere at this time, and there was a bit of reassurance in his tone, "Although the current Guozi Prison Supervisor is not as good as it was back then, if there is an opportunity, he can still go out directly, and it is more convenient to take the exam." ”
It was not until this time that Zhang Yuefang understood why he had spoken to Fang Sun and his grandson in the Baoding Marquis Mansion at the beginning, but it turned out that he had a similar experience. Knowing that Fang Ling Sun Han spoke lightly and deeply, the words were all for his sake, and he was not moved in his heart, and thanked him again and again, but he did not immediately agree to whether he tried to find a place in the Guozi Prison.
In his previous life, he was deeply disgusted with that kind of exam-oriented education, and although he had to undergo the more cruel test of Baguwen in this life, this did not mean that he was willing to endure many years of testing in this kind of dead study place.
With such a conversation, the distance between the three of them narrowed again, and they talked and laughed along the way, and soon came to an inconspicuous building. However, at this time, Fangling Sun Han's face was all gloomy, and seeing Zhang Yue looking at it curiously, Sun Han hurriedly grabbed him, and then reminded in a low voice: "You can go to other places, but here is not trivial." This is the rope hall, where the inmates will be pulled to the board to make mistakes, and it is the most popular place for Sven to sweep the floor. ”
And just when Zhang Yue heard that his scalp was numb, there was a sudden snort in the rope hall, as if someone was beaten but gagged. Thinking that the National Prison was still on holiday during the Spring Festival, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fang and Sun, but Fang Ling frowned and said hesitantly: "Some prisoners may not go back for the holidays, is it a crime?" ”
The miserable snort disappeared after a while, and after a while, two soaps came out of the rope hall scolding, and the one in front of them laughed while walking: "Who let that kid put on a shelf of a scholar, didn't this mistake hit our hands?" Look at the appearance of his eyes on the top of his head, throw it on the red stool, and hit the five bamboo grates, and see how he will see people in the future! ”
"One time is raw and two times cooked, this time it is five small boards, the second offense is still five small boards, and the third offense is ten small boards! What's so difficult to find the wrong place, isn't the first brother Xu too lazy to find his fault...... Hey, who are you guys? ”
The soap who was talking saw that there was actually someone outside the rope hall, and his face suddenly changed, and before he got closer, he saw that it was Fangling Sun Han and an outsider, so he smiled: "This is a big holiday, how can the grandson of Fang Gong have time to return to the country?" This son's face is tight, is he a new prisoner or a friend of the two sons? ”
"This is the cousin of the British duke, and he may be admitted to the national prison in the future, so we brought him here to have a look."
At this time, another elderly soap Li also rushed over, and he had to look at Zhang Yue with a scrutinizing gaze. Seeing the blue velvet cloak and the colorful embroidered jade wipe on his forehead that day, he concluded that the plan was a child of the family, and his face showed a little respect. After hearing Fang Ling's explanation of Zhang Yue's identity, his face was immediately filled with a welcoming smile.
At that moment, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't know that there was a noble person coming, I was really lazy, I knew that we wouldn't dare to make a ghost cry wolf howl inside." It's really a poor prison student who doesn't know what to do, and it's just a matter of eating in the Guozi Prison after the holidays, and he actually complains about the food, which is not in line with being heard by the master bookkeeper, so he sent it to our rope hall to teach a lesson. ”
Such a trivial matter, what kind of rope hall does it have to be sent to play the board?
Zhang Yue only felt a cool breath rushing to his head, and immediately vetoed the matter of entering the country to study, thinking that he would rather be locked in the study every day than come to this ghost place to suffer. At this moment, he suddenly saw that the two soaps in front of him all showed sincere and frightened expressions, and they even crossed him and Fang Ling Sun Han in three or two steps.
"Little one, meet Lord Xiao!"
As soon as he heard such a Xiao word, Fang Ling Sun Han froze there, and Zhang Yue also reacted in an instant, and then slowly turned around. However, just by glancing at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his gaze fell on a middle-aged capable man next to the other party.
The middle-aged man's aura was not mentioned for the time being, but the gold-woven official uniform with red satin embroidered white dark gauze collar gave him a sense of déjà vu - it seemed to be ...... Jin Yiwei?
