Chapter 75: Caught Sleeping
"Ze'er, what does the holy decree say?" As soon as the chamberlain left, Chu Mu cautiously came to Chu Ze's side and asked.
After Chu Ze explained the will of His Majesty Li Er to Chu's mother, Chu's mother was excited again, for rural women, His Majesty Li Er personally ordered his children to go to school, which can really be regarded as a great joy from heaven. Chu Mu was full of red light, walking around the yard, feeling that today's sun was extraordinarily warm.
The house at home has been repaired, and now it is on the right track, just build it step by step, Chu Ze told his brother Chu Qing some precautions, and let him keep an eye on the scene in the future.
Although Chu Ze was reluctant and unwilling to go to school, His Majesty Li Er had already made an order, he didn't dare to disobey the order, Chu Ze asked himself that his neck was not hard enough to resist His Majesty Li Er's butcher's knife.
As soon as it was hazy the next morning, Chu Ze got up.
No way, Mother Chu nagged him all night last night, and told him to study in Guozijian with peace of mind, looking at Mother Chu's expectant eyes, Chu Ze didn't dare not get up early.
After having breakfast with his family, Chu Ze packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after saying goodbye to Chu's mother, he led the moon towards the gate, and Lan Xin followed with small steps behind Chu Ze.
Chu Ze walked out of the gate, his body was stunned, he suddenly turned his head, raised his hand to Lan Xin, who was standing at the gate behind him and was staring at him in the distance, and said "goodbye" quite a modern ceremony, which made the little girl stunned at first, and then looked shy, so cute.
Walking on the wide Suzaku Street, Chu Ze rode a horse slowly, people came and went around him, and the hawkers' shouts came and went, so it was not lively, and the food stalls on the street were full of people.
Chu Ze noticed that there were a few foreigners with high noses and deep eyes and strange clothes in the crowd, and they shouted vigorously, and they spoke Chinese well.
Every time he passes here, Chu Ze will be full of emotion, the prosperity of Chang'an thousands of years ago, the majestic city wall, the neat lane, and the colorful crowd show the prosperity, tolerance and self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty.
Suzaku Avenue is one hundred and fifty meters wide, which is much wider than any two-way eight-lane road in the future, and no Chang'an Avenue can be compared. The loess compacted ground, the rows of ancient acacia on both sides, the one-zhang wide open ditch on both sides of the road, and the stone-paved royal road in the middle of the street all highlight the magnificence and prosperity of Chang'an City.
Guozijian, located in the west of Chang'an Chengwu Fang, is very close to the imperial city, out of the door, east of the street, from the first square of the north number. The whole Wubenfang is divided into two, and the western half is all within the scope of Guozijian, with a vast area, and the buildings inside are magnificent and solemn, and the trees are shady, which is a good place to study.
As the highest university in Datang, Guozijian's conditions and facilities are very good. Moreover, the gentlemen here are all the top people in Datang. This is the most direct place to select talents for Datang.
Although it is said that the children of the powerful and powerful families can enter the court as officials through Meng Yin, if these powerful people and children of the family have not studied in the Guozijian and have enough ability, it is really difficult to become an official through Meng Yin.
In a place like the imperial court, it is natural that talented magnates and children of families can come, but it does not mean that as long as you are the children of powerful families, you can be an official if you are a fool.
Chu Ze rode slowly, and it took about half an hour to see when an antique and magnificent building appeared in front of him. On the plaque at the main entrance, the dragon and the phoenix dance are written with three words: "Guozijian"!
In front of the gate of the national prison, there were all kinds of richly decorated horses, and it was bustling and crowded with people. The vast majority of those who can enter the country to study are not ordinary people, they are all children of officials at all levels, and that one is not a family with a lot of money and a group of servants.
"Chu Ze, here!"
Chu Ze was about to find someone to ask how to get to the classroom when he heard someone calling him not far away.
At first glance, it was none other than Cheng Chuliang, and there were a few of Chu Ze's old acquaintances Chai Lingwu and others next to him.
As the second generation of famous officials in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chuliang and others naturally studied in Guozijian, but these people usually don't come at all, and there are many more days of skipping school than the days of class.
"Brother Ze won the first place in the poetry club a few days ago, which makes me envious, I don't know what Miss Ruoyun is... What do you think? Haha" Chai Lingwu looked at Chu Ze lewdly and said, the hidden meaning in his words is not enough for outsiders.
Chu Ze didn't answer, he raised his hand and punched Chai Lingwu with a middle finger.
After Cheng Chuliang instructed his little servant to take care of Cheng Mansion month by month, he took Chu Ze towards the Guozi Prison, and the group walked in a walking posture like a later generation collecting protection money, walking step by step.
As an old bird, Cheng Chuliang enthusiastically introduced the internal structure to him. The first thing you see when you walk in is the Confucius Temple built to worship Confucius.
This is an independent courtyard, and when there is a national ceremony or other major events, His Majesty Li Er will lead the courtiers to worship Confucius together to show respect for the sages.
Cheng Chuliang just briefly introduced Chu Ze outside the courtyard, and then Chu Ze will come here to formally worship Confucius, and someone will explain it to Chu Ze in detail at that time.
Chu Ze was walking forward with everyone, and someone came over to spread the word that the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice had been invited. "I've seen Confucius-sama"
The sacrificial wine in front of him is Kong Yingda, who was a judge in Cuiyuan Building a few days ago, and had a relationship with Chu Ze. Adhering to the idea that many people are not strange, which grandfather did not come from his grandson, Chu Ze came to Kong Yingda's place, bowed and said.
"Yangquan County is exempt, since His Majesty arranged for you to come to Guozijian to study, it is a reward for you, you will definitely devote yourself to study in the future, and you must not live up to Your Majesty's expectations" Kong Yingda said solemnly.
"Obey the teachings of Master Kong!" Chu Ze replied respectfully.
"Then let's go through the enrollment procedures!"
Guozijian is very complicated to go through the admission procedures, but Chu Ze's situation was personally ordered by His Majesty Li Er, Guozijian must be specially handled, all the materials have been prepared, just write a few words!
Chu Ze respectfully took the admission list, and on the table next to the scene, he took a brush and wrote his name carefully.
Kong Yingda looked at Chu Ze's solemn appearance and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"The student has written!" Chu Ze closed the roster of Guozijian and handed it to Kong Yingda!
"Yes, good words! In the future, the old man will inevitably ask Yangquan County for a lesson or two," Kong Yingda said with a smile on his beard.
"Master Kong is polite, the carving insect skills should not be praised by Master Kong," Chu Ze said politely.
"Yangquan County is humble, the admission procedures have been completed, there is nothing else to do here, Yangquan County can go to the school." Kong Yingda is very satisfied with Chu Ze's attitude, he is young and talented in poetry, and he writes well, the key is not arrogant or impatient, Kong Yingda said happily.
After leaving Kong Yingda's premises, Chu Ze followed the students to a huge hall, and found a seat to sit cross-legged next to a pillar not far from Cheng Chuliang.
