Chapter 154: Asking for a Monthly Pass (5 More Requests for a Monthly Pass)
At the end of the year, worship Confucius Temple, is a grand event in Jinling, not only the officials want to go, but also the school has more rules, all the talents need to go to worship.
Confucius is known as the most holy teacher, and all the scholars in the world are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and because of this, this kind of canon is the most sloppy.
However, Chen Kaizhi knows that the so-called respect for teachers is still reduced to a formality after all, and many people are just going through the motions.
Early the next morning, Uncle Wu Cai called Chen Kaizhi outside: "Kaizhi, Kaizhi, it's not early, it's time to go." β
Chen Kaizhi was dressed up and went out, but he saw that Uncle Wucai was very 'radiant', and the Confucian shirt and scarf on his body were actually cut from silk.
Chen Kaizhi went out to salute my uncle, but saw two sedan chairs behind his uncle, Chen Kaizhi can be said to have been bitten by a snake for three years and was afraid of the well rope, and his heart chuckled suddenly......
Damn, it's not going to make me pay again, is it?
Uncle Wucai naturally saw his thoughts from Chen Kaizhi's face, and criticized Chen Kaizhi with a calm face: "It's not too early, what are you still stunned about, get on the sedan chair quickly." β
Chen Kaizhi still said uneasily: "Uncle Shi, the student forgot to bring the sedan chair money. β
Uncle Wucai glared at him and said, "Who do you think Uncle Shi is?" Uncle Shi will let you pay when he goes out with you? How unreasonable is that! β
Chen Kaizhi was relieved at this time, and he also sat in the sedan chair.
When I arrived at the Confucius Temple, it was already crowded with people, and Uncle Wu got off the sedan chair, looked at the crowded heads, pouted and said: "Uncle Shi hates to join in the fun, hey, if I don't want to make a big gift to the saint, I really don't want to come here." β
The two sweated like rain and shuttled through the crowd, and when they entered the Minglun Hall of the Confucius Temple with the flow of people, they saluted the portrait of the Confucian saint, and Chen Kaizhicai and my uncle came out.
Of course, you just salute, but you can't leave yet, because you still have to order, and you need to go to the small hall on the side to sign it, otherwise how can you prove that you have been here?
Chen Kaizhi and Uncle Wucai arrived at the small hall, where there were already worshippers of the Confucius Temple, sweating like rain here, holding the roster and being surrounded by many students to sign.
Many students, most of them were in a hurry to leave, so they couldn't help but push and shove, and they couldn't help but shout angrily: "What squeeze what, and then squeeze one by one to deal with the school rules." β
However, it didn't help.
After all, the imperial court treats students well, as long as they don't commit any major crimes, under normal circumstances, they will not be punished.
Uncle Wucai on the side beat his chest and said: "The world is going down, today is a ceremony to worship Confucius, but look at them, there is no awe at all, the old man has a heartache in his heart, Sven is gone, Sven is gone, Sven is gone......"
After scolding a few words, he also learned from the others to rush in, shouting: "I came first, oh, you don't have to push the old man, the old man is an old student, he is nearly fifty years old, the old bones have not been hit, something happened, and the coffin was placed at your house." β
This sentence is actually very powerful, Chen Kaizhi's eyes straightened, hesitated, and hurriedly rushed in, and finally squeezed in front of the worship, and signed the name of Chen Kaizhi, a student member of Jiangning County Government, on the roster.
When he saw the name signed by Chen Kaizhi, he looked up at Chen Kaizhi with a little smile on his face, and then said, "Chen Shengren of Jiangning? Chen Shengyuan, Master Tixue has an explanation, please go to the apse to drink country wine after the sacred. β
Chen Kaizhi slightly: "This ...... Students are not lifters. β
The so-called drinking of local wine, in fact, has a great origin, after each large-scale sacrifice, the school officials and the local parents and officials, will be in the apse of the temple to invite the people, of course, there will also be some officials to participate, because the people need to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future, stay in the township is not much time, rare to have a chance, and these people, but one foot almost stepped into the official class, is the star of tomorrow, so take this opportunity, everyone gathered together, the official, take this opportunity to bring a little progress, and these stars of tomorrow, Local talents also took this opportunity to show their faces and pave the way for the future.
Chen Kaizhi is still just a showman, it stands to reason that he, like all the students, is not qualified to go, who would have expected that this offering has long been entrusted by others, and he is here to wait for Chen Kaizhi to come.
This worship said with a smile: "Chen Shengyuan is also an extraordinary talent, which is the meaning of mentioning education and parents and officials, why should he be humble? β
Chen Kaizhi nodded, anyway, he was eating, and Chen Kaizhi categorically did not refuse to eat.
He was about to agree, and the uncle next to him said: "The old man is his uncle, and he came with him, how can there be any reason to go differently?" β
This clearly means that by the way, take me with you.
After pondering for a while, he said, "Please also go together, the governor of Tixue has long wanted to see Chen Shengyuan." β
After that, he gave a clerk a look, and the scribe stretched out his hand: "Please." β
Chen Kaizhi glanced at Uncle Wucai, and was not surprised at all, so he followed the scribe and went to the apse with the interested Uncle Wucai.
The apse is much quieter here, and the Temple of Literature is a building that has always existed, and it has been repaired several times.
Jinling Confucian Temple was built more than 400 years ago, now the courtyard walls have been renovated, only the trees here are still there, it is said that once the spring opens, many towering ancient trees will be like a canopy, the apse will be covered by a trace of light can not fall, fortunately it is winter now, but a little more desolate.
After passing through the Standing Sacred Stone and the Qinxue Pavilion, and passing through the Moon Cave, we arrived at the apse, and here, all the beings had already entered the seat.
Chen Kaizhi and Uncle Wucai went in, and sure enough, they saw another world in this apse, more than a dozen officials sat down with dignity and humility, and then they were about 30 people who were seated in two, kneeling on the wine table.
In fact, there are a lot of people in Jinling, there are hundreds, but some have already been selected as officials, some are stationed in Beijing to prepare for the autumn of the next year, and some are at home and leave late, so there are not many people here.
The official position of the school is the governor of the school, the world of Dachen is divided into one Beijing, two capitals and seven states, the so-called Beijing is Luoyang, the two are Jinling and Chang'an, and the governor of the school, the world is placed in ten, are the capital and the capital, as well as the highest scholar in the land of the seven states, although Jinling is the government, but because it is the capital, the status is transcendent, so here is also set up the governor of the school, the general management of the school and politics, the status is lofty.
Chen Kaizhi is a human being in two lives, and he knows that he can get this honor, on the one hand, this time he has won the head of the case, and his knowledge has been noticed by the Governor of Tixue, on the other hand, it is also because of the capture of the Three-Eyed Heavenly King and his meritorious service. Although the court's edict has not yet been issued, it is enough to attract the attention of some people.
