Chapter 176: An Invitation to the South
The scholars went through the primary school, the county school, the state to learn Taixue, and then in the Taixue outer house and the inner house for six years, and finally survived to the Taixue upper house, at this time the study of the scriptures and righteousness course has long been over, the few courses of the upper house students are also mainly based on policy theory, the court occasionally will have important ministers to Taixue to give lectures to the students, so that they can understand the government affairs of the court, understand the current affairs of the world.

But even this kind of lecture is only happening, the upper dormitory students spend more time preparing, one is to prepare for the imperial examination, and the second is to prepare for the entrance examination to the upper dormitory middle school students, who can be given the Jinshi background, and the upper dormitory middle school students are given the same Jinshi background, and also have the qualifications to be officials, and then practice for two years, and then they can get a formal appointment.
However, for the vast majority of students, they are biased towards the imperial examination, the reason is very simple, the entrance examination starts from the county or the main book, but the Taixue is often from the beginning of the academic officer, and the starting point is obviously low.
When promoted in the future, Jinshi was born and promoted quickly, and he can become a county magistrate in five years, and he can be a state general judge or a chief official in ten years, while Taixue is much slower, unless the background is relatively hard, many Taixue students will only be a magistrate for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, students are often reluctant to go out directly, even if they are admitted to the middle school, they will stay in Taixue as a teaching assistant and a student in the middle school, etc., in order to retain the qualifications of students, once they become officials, they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and many students have to choose to go out because the imperial examination is hopeless.
However, for Li Yanqing, he entered Taixue from Xie Yuan, and he had no experience in the outer and inner houses, so he chose to go to the inner house to study, most of the professors in the inner house are famous teachers and Confucians, which is very beneficial to improving his academic level.
This morning, Li Yanqing hurried to the Inner House School Building, where Zhang Hu, a doctor of Taixue, gave a lecture on "Zhuangzi", which was a course he preferred.
The classroom is very large, like a small hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, but the class is not rigid in form, sometimes the professor will teach in a small room, with only a dozen students.
Li Yanqing came a little earlier, the class had not yet started, and the students were talking in groups, two days had passed since Zhu Tao was killed, and it was only then that it finally fermented, not only Taixue, but the entire Bianjing was discussing this matter.
After all, Zhu Mian's Hangzhou Creation Bureau and Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau brought great disaster to the people of Jiangnan, and the public was so angry that his son was killed, and the ordinary people applauded, while the Tai students discussed the political background of the assassination.
As soon as Li Yanqing found a seat to sit down, he saw someone waving to him, of course it was not Zheng Fatzi, he had never seen his majestic figure in class, it turned out to be his fellow villager Wu Bangchang, Li Yanqing put down his bookbag, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Why is Brother Wu also listening to the class in the inner house?" ”
Wu Bangchang is of medium stature and looks very delicate, he was the third place in the Xiangzhou exam last year, but he is already a student, and the exam is meaningless to him, unless he is admitted to Xie Yuan.
""Zhuangzi" and "Liezi" are both new courses that were added last year, and we haven't studied them, so we all came to make up for them.
Li Yanqing glanced at it, almost no one around him knew him, he smiled apologetically, saying that he didn't know him.
Wu Bangchang said with a smile: "Actually, it's no wonder, the upper house usually does its own thing, rarely gets together to attend classes, we all know each other when we are in the outer house, and we have been friends for many years, and you are directly into the upper house to study, different, but it is easy to lose the group!" ”
Li Yanqing deeply felt this point, the two students who lived with him in the past were very repulsive to him, and never said a word to him, and the students gradually formed their own circles in their long-term study.
The prosperity of Taixue's friends in the Song Dynasty was also well-known in history, and even formed a political force.
Wu Bangchang introduced a few people around him again, although for the sake of Wu Bangchang's face, everyone greeted Li Yanqing one by one, but it could be seen that their expressions were relatively cold, everyone knew that Li Yanqing and Zheng Rongtai had a close relationship, so everyone naturally gathered Li Yanqing into Zheng Rongtai's faction.
Wu Bangchang knew it, he lowered his voice and said to Li Yanqing: "In Xiangzhou, I advised the virtuous brother to be cautious in making friends, but the virtuous brother didn't seem to take it to heart, now he should understand!" Zheng Rongtai's reputation for the Yanei Party is not good! ”
Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "I only know Zheng Fatzi, and I don't know any of his fox friends and dog friends." ”
"So! They don't accept the virtuous brothers, and the virtuous brothers can't integrate into other circles, and in the end they lose the group, and they lose the group in Taixue, and life is very sad. Wu Bangchang said earnestly.
Li Yanqing also knew that he was right, at least he knew that Zheng Fatzi and Taixue Yanai often gathered, but they never took him to participate in it once, it was not that Zheng Fatzi didn't have that heart, but his conditions were too far behind.
However, Li Yanqing does not agree with Wu Bangchang's disappearance, at least for now, he is living a full life, although sometimes there is a lack of people to go to drink together, but his friends are all in martial arts, and everyone will be able to meet soon.
Wu Bangchang saw that Li Yanqing didn't take his words to heart, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart, so he no longer persuaded him.
"What do you think of Zhu Tao's assassination?" Wu Bangchang changed the topic and asked.
"It is said that it was killed by the enemies of Suzhou!"
Wu Bangchang shook his head disdainfully, "Do you also believe this kind of rumor?" ”
"I really haven't thought about this in detail, I haven't even seen Zhu Tao yet, I really don't care too much, I don't know what Brother Wu thinks?"
"You! Relatively young, too low political sensitivity, let's put it simply! This is the beginning of the power struggle in the imperial court, and someone is going to move Cai Xianggong. ”
"What does this have to do with Cai Xianggong?"
Wu Bangchang glanced at him, "You don't know that Zhu Mian is Cai Xianggong's person?" ”
"Bangchang!" Someone next to him reminded: "Say less than that." ”
Wu Bangchang suddenly came to his senses, so he smiled and stopped talking, the Song Dynasty was relaxed, but there was no need to worry about the trouble coming out of his mouth, the key was that the Tao was different and did not conspire with it.
At this time, Dr. Zhang Hu walked in briskly from outside, and Li Yanqing also clasped his fists and saluted, and then returned to his seat.
.........
A class in Taixue is very long, usually for two hours, but Dr. Zhang Hu of Taixue spoke interestingly, and everyone did not think that the time was long, and when this class was over, it was already noon.
At the end of the class, Tai Zhanghu recommended two books he had written to them as usual, and asked them to sell them back to study hard, and he swore that as long as they read these two books thoroughly, the test questions about Zhuangzi and Liezi in the imperial examination would be no problem.
However, what made Li Yanqing quite interested was that the bookstore that recommended buying books turned out to be Shilinyuan Bookstore, not far from Taixue, and he would like to take a look if he has the opportunity.
There was no class in the afternoon, Li Yanqing planned to go to the bookstore for a stroll, he just returned to the dormitory, but unexpectedly found that there were a few people standing in front of his dormitory, and the person at the head turned out to be Jiawang Zhao Kai.
Li Yanqing was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Let Your Highness wait for a long time." ”
Zhao Kai smiled slightly: "I just arrived, and I was about to send someone to find you, so you came back, does Shaojun have time in the afternoon?" ”
Li Yanqing nodded, and Zhao Kai smiled happily: "Let's go find a teahouse to sit in, I have something to look for you." ”
The two of them came to Taixue's teahouse and sat down, and just like last time, the shopkeeper surrounded them with a screen, and several guards stood outside the screen, not allowing anyone to approach.
Zhao Kai said in a low voice: "Guess what's going on?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, His Highness is going to Jiangnan!"
Zhao Kai smiled, "Zhu Tao died very funny, so my father found me and asked me to go to Jiangnan to investigate Zhu Tao!" ”
"It shouldn't be as simple as an investigation!" Li Yanqing said lightly.
Zhao Kai nodded, lowered his voice again, and said: "In name, it is an investigation, but in fact, it is to directly arrest their father and son and return to Beijing." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Kai sighed, "This matter is very tricky, I need to find some helpers to go south, how about it, come with me!" ”
Zhao Kai looked at Li Yanqing expectantly, Li Yanqing slightly, "Since His Royal Highness has an order, of course Yanqing is duty-bound!" ”
Zhao Kai was overjoyed, "You go back and clean up, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness has time in the afternoon, can you do me a small favor." ”
"You say, what do you want me to help you with?"
"That's right, I opened a small shop, and I very much need a backstage support, I hope Your Highness can go to my small shop to help stand on the field."
