"I'm afraid there are no literati in the world who don't know Guozixue."

Yang Yi asked, "Tell me what the situation is in Guozixue?"

"All dynasties and dynasties will be sponsored by the imperial court to host a supreme institution, such as the former Taixue, the previous dynasty's Sichengguan, this dynasty was renamed Guozixue, these institutions are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, there are contemporary Confucianism appointed by the imperial court and famous scholars to teach.

The number of students in the academy varies from dynasty to dynasty, but it basically remains between 200 and 500 people, and there are two criteria for selecting students, one is the outstanding students promoted by state officials from all over the country, and the other is the outstanding children of the magnates, officials, and nobles.

The students who graduated from the college will be arranged by the Ministry of Officials to serve as officials all over the country, and some will stay in Beijing to serve, which is second only to the official selection body of the scientific examination.

But in recent years, there are very few poor students who can enter the country, and it has basically become a place for the children of the nobles to dig for sand. ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "So this is a government-run public college, or is it a job assignment,"

"Why did Your Highness ask about Guozixue?"

"Don't mention it, my emperor's father told me to go to the country to study." Yang Yi drank the wine brought by the embroidery girl in a depressed gulp.

Liu Wenzheng heard this and said: "This is a good thing, Your Highness, although Guozixue is not as good as the Zongxue in the palace, it is also a place that students yearn for." ”

"Students are yearning, but as a person who dozes off when he sees a book, that's my hell."

In his previous life, Yang Yi already understood very thoroughly that he was not a reading material, except for being interested in some history, other courses were classified as "one sleep class", and he slept until the end of class.

He could imagine the old master shaking his head and reading awkward classical Chinese on it, and he was asleep below.

In his previous life, the teacher usually greeted him with the book in his hand, but he was an ancient master who held a book in his left hand and a ring ruler a few feet thick in his right hand.

Yang Yi didn't think that the master would kindly beat him with his left hand, and he didn't think that these old-fashioned old masters would not dare to beat him, a stupid prince.

In any case, there was no escape, so he had to carefully ask Liu Wenzheng about the precautions for studying, and when everything was ready, he would say goodbye to his mother and go to live in the college.

Sometimes people are like this, when you want to be quiet, you can never find a place to put yourself, when you want someone to be with you, but you find yourself still walking alone.

Yang Yi didn't think about the throne, the throne, and no one probably thought that he would fight for it. But the news that the nine nerds were summoned by the emperor alone and were ready to arrange for them to study in the country was still like a pampas flowers, floating all over the city.

What does a fool do when he reads?

This is everyone's doubt, many people think that this stone was cast by Li Cen, but Li Cen feels that the stone he threw has now been caught by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is going to throw stones to ask for directions."

Gong Weiming, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, lifted the wooden bucket full of water in his hand, gently swung the water out, and splashed it on the green cabbage leaves.

Li Cen squatted in the vegetable field trail, hunched over and carefully pulled out the weeds that stole nutrients under each green vegetable. For each one, move two steps to the side.

After tidying up a box of vegetable patches, Li Cen handed the weeds in his hand to the housekeeper, many weeds are revital, if the weeds are left in the field, it is likely to grow more.

Li Cen took the bucket from Gong Weiming's hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have a certain candidate in his heart now, he needs to ask." ”

"Ask whom?"

"Ask the sky."

The remaining water in the bucket was evenly sprinkled by Li Cen on each vegetable seedling, handed the wooden bucket to the housekeeper, pulled the hoe on the side, and sat on the hoe like an old farmer.

"No matter whether the emperor has a candidate in his heart or not, he must have an excuse, an excuse that is enough to shut up the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world."

"With the current situation in the court, whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince to ascend the throne, it will attract an unprecedented backlash from several other factions, which is an irresolvable contradiction of interests, which is unacceptable to the emperor and the Daguang Dynasty."

Gong Weiming also stepped on the field, patted the dust on his clothes and said: "This is a good move by the emperor, I heard that many eunuchs and palace maids disappeared inexplicably in the palace last night." ”

Li Cen shook his head and said: "You don't have to look at the old man, my sister was sorting out the congratulatory gifts of the court in Jinhua Palace last night, and I told her not to move recently." ”

Gong Weiming nodded and said, "Actually, Concubine Li should have been established a long time ago, but it's a pity..."

"There is nothing to be sorry for, there are always two sides to things, even if she now has the emperor's heir, it is not necessarily a good thing for my Li family, the emperor will not allow a strong family of relatives to be in power."

"Are we going to put all the heavy treasures on Yang Qi?"

"The road is chosen, and now there is a fog in front of every road, and who is the highest mountain at the end of which road? Let's go. ”

Li Cen slowly brushed off the mud that had dried up on his upper hand and said, "Is there any news from Beidaying?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I was still playing Tai Chi with us."

"Send someone again, and if the fourth-grade undertaker is useless, he will support the third-grade Zhongcheng."

Gong Weiming was a little annoyed and said: "This is a difficult bone to gnaw, you can't squeeze out the gap from beginning to end, and the steel needle is difficult to enter." ”

Li Cen smiled: "The bones are hard to gnaw but there is a lot of meat, we can't gnaw them, and we can't fatten others." ”

The two of them fell into deep thought, each thinking about what was on their minds.

At this time, the old housekeeper came over from behind and arched his hand: "Master of the house, the young lady has something to look for you." ”

Li Cen nodded and said, "Let Yu'er come over." ”

After a while, Li Yu walked into the garden with broken steps, and in front of the two of them, his knees and feet were slightly bent, and his hands and waist made a junior salute.

"Yu'er has seen her father and Uncle Gong."

Gong Weiming stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's really a peach, scorching its beauty, Yu'er's niece has grown up so smart, it's a pity that the old man's eldest son is married, and the younger son is young, otherwise he must be a member of the marriage team!" ”

Li Yu smiled elegantly: "Uncle Gong has an overreputation. He turned to Li Cen and said, "Father, the people who went to the academy have returned, but they have not found the eldest brother, saying that the eldest brother has not seen anyone for several days." ”

Li Cen sighed and said: "Where else can I go, either in the filthy fence, or in the casino, the cockfighting arena, just look for it." ”

"I found him and told him to stay in the academy honestly, or he would give me home."

Li Yu led the order to retreat.

Li Cen stood up and said: "I hate my only son of the Li family, but he has no ambitions, and he has to let his sister discipline him, which is also embarrassing." ”

Gong Weiming said with a smile: "The prince is not grateful, it is normal for young people to be a little squirrel, and it will be good to stay for a few years." ”
