Chapter 2 Guozi Studies

The Guozi School of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in Jiyingqiu, south of the outer city.

Earlier, the institutions of higher learning of the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided into Guozi, Taixue, and four primary schools.

Among them, only officials of the third rank or above or the children of princes can enter the country, and the children of officials above the seventh rank are eligible to enter the Taixue.

Later, Guozi, Taixue, and Simen Elementary Schools were merged, leaving only Guozi Academy, and Taixue and Simen Elementary Schools were merged into it.

Guozi Academy, occupies a huge area, the hill is a Confucian temple, all kinds of buildings are built around this Confucian temple, and divided into the upper house, the inner house, the outer house, generally speaking, the new students who have just entered the Guozi School, are the first to enter the outer house, one year later, according to the performance on weekdays has been examined, you can enter the inner house, and after another year, the top students in the inner house, can enter the upper house, once you become a "student in the upper house", you can not participate in the state examination, the examination, and directly have the qualification to enter the palace examination.

In other words, if Ning Jiang hadn't rejected Dian Hong's recommendation last year and directly entered Guozi School, and his performance was extremely good, once he became a student of the upper house, he could skip the state examination and the conference examination in one fell swoop and directly participate in the palace examination...... Of course, everyone knows that this is only theoretical, whether you can become a student or not, in addition to the grades, also depends on the daily performance, and the "daily performance" is all up to the son of the country and the doctor.

Basically, for hundreds of years, there has not been a single person who has been born in the upper ranks, and their father's or grandfather's official position or lord is below the fifth rank.

Therefore, the upper shesheng, also known as the "superior upper shesheng", is actually the green channel opened by the imperial court to the children of those high-ranking officials and princes.

In addition to the upper house, the inner house, and the outer house, there is also a four-gate hall, which is the former four-door school.

The Four Sects School was originally built for those royal clansmen, in order to prevent those royal clansmen from idleness all day long and causing trouble, but it did not serve any purpose, and later it was simply changed and opened to the children of officials below the eighth grade, or concubines, children of poor families, to teach law, arithmetic and other miscellaneous studies. Later, the four schools were merged into Guozi Studies, although a four-door hall was set up, but it was in vain, and it became a nonsense place for those who entered Guozi Studies by virtue of their family background, but still did not learn and did not know how to do it, and doctors and professors could not control it.

Because Ningjiang is a newcomer to Guozixue, he can naturally only enter the outer house first.

To his surprise, here he actually met an acquaintance...... Gan Lie.

Gan Lie looked at him, his eyes a little gloomy.

Ning Jiang shrugged...... At the time of the government examination, Gan Lie didn't even pass the third-class exam, although his father was a knowledgeable army, but after all, he was not a Beijing official, in order to let his son enter the country, it seemed that he had a lot of relationships.

After entering the outer house, he first worshiped the holy statue of Wensheng according to the rules, and then together with other new students, in the main hall, he presented three brocades, that is, "bundles", to the doctor of the outer house, and completed the worship ceremony.

Sitting on the teacher's chair was Dr. Lu Cedar.

Every doctor in Guozixue is an official above the fifth grade......

***

In the afternoon, everyone in the Guozi School, including Gan Lie, was looking towards the playground.

A teenager was standing on the playground, his head bowed and his hands tied, and Dr. Ritsu Cedar was scolding and scolding him.

Among the living beings, some people laughed, some shook their heads, and Gan Lie was even more refreshed in his heart.

Ning Jiang stood in the sun, only to feel that Dr. Li's saliva was about to splash on his face.

Ning Jiang himself was surprised by his criticism this time, or rather...... It doesn't make any sense.

He didn't understand what he had offended Dr. Law, yes, he was really looking out during class just now, but he was definitely not the only one who was on a small trip, and even everyone was more than him. Although Guozixue is indeed much stricter than Zhouxue, today's lesson is nothing more than an empty and general admonition, and if you really want to catch a typical example, you shouldn't catch him.

Gan Lie and a few people around him even whispered there, but they didn't see what Dr. Law did to them.

On the first day of entering Guozixue, he was erected as a typical, I have to say that Ning Jiang himself was a little embarrassed, and his image was obviously very bad, after all, his ultimate goal, but next year's Feng Chan, any stain may affect his goal.

But Dr. Law obviously didn't care if he had a hidden ambition to save the world in his heart, holding up the book of sages, scolding loudly, from small to large, almost raising his small actions to the point of disloyalty, filial piety, and unkindness, so that everyone in the outer house, the inner house, the four gate pavilions, and so on, was looking to him.

Dr. Law reprimanded him in public for an hour.

At that time, Ning Jiang walked in the crowd of people leaving the school, and the students around him looked at him from time to time, eager to stay away from him, a bad boy who caused the doctor to be angry on the first day of school.

Suddenly, a voice came from the other end: "Brother Ning Jiang!" ”

Ning Jiang turned around to look and unexpectedly found that it was Lu Zhiyuan who called him.

This was even more surprising to him than seeing Gan Lie, just because, no matter from that point of view, Lu Zhiyuan was not qualified to enter the country. On the imperial examination, when Lu Zhiyuan was in the government examination, although he was a student, but in the state examination, he was only the third class, and in terms of background, Lu Zhiyuan's ancestors only had a few talents, and there were no high-ranking officials.

Scholars who enter the country are either the best in the imperial examination, or the children of high-ranking officials and princes, without exception.

He saw that behind Lu Zhiyuan, there were a few people following, and these people were all dressed in brocade and jade crowns. One of them, a young man in his twenties with a brocade dress and a jade crown, came to Ning Jiang with the appearance of a corporal Lixian: "This is Ning Jieyuan from Tongzhou?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Your Excellency is ......"

Lu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "This is the grandson of Chen Guozhu, the captain of the dynasty, Chen Hao and Chen Gongzi, and he is also the first-class student of Guozixue, and the foolish brother is the companion of Chen Gongzi to enter Guozixue." ”

Grandson of Taiwei...... Lu Zhiyuan, this is hugging his thighs. Ning Jiang thought.

Who doesn't know that the current Queen Mother's surname is Chen, and Mrs. Chen is the Queen Mother's brother? In other words, this Chen Hao is a real national relative.

And becoming a student of the upper house is basically equivalent to passing the March entrance examination, and you can directly participate in the temple examination.

is different from the other world that Ning Jiang knows, there is a literary atmosphere in this world, which means that the imperial power does not have much advantage over the scholar class, and in order to balance and appropriately weaken the scholar class, a relative like Chen Hao, who learned from the son of the country, the Son of Heaven has always been not hesitant to reuse, which is also the reason why the queen mother's brother can be ranked as the third prince and honored to the national pillar.

On the other hand, as long as the cultural system is still there, the relatives will not be able to turn the sky, and it is impossible to appear in another world in the Han Dynasty's Lu family, the Tang Dynasty's martial arts family The situation of relatives covering the sky with one hand, scholars and doctors can also have more tolerance for foreign relatives who rely on imperial power, unlike the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, who are deeply afraid of the precedents of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Foreign relatives have reached the point where they will go all out to suppress them at the slightest hint and take precautions from various systems.

Similarly, the princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not be as arrogant as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, nor were they like the Song Dynasty or even the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

And being able to marry a princess is also a glory comparable to the "Gold List Title".

If it weren't for Qimeng's death on the day of marriage with the two grooms, she really didn't have to worry about not being able to get married.

Lu Zhiyuan was able to put on Chen Hao's thighs, which was quite unexpected by Ning Jiang, and I don't know how he got on this line. Of course, only Chen Hao, a relative of the emperor and the country, is qualified to take "accompaniment", and ordinary students can only bring scholars or small servants at most.

In history, there is indeed no shortage of precedents for entering Guozixue or Taixue as a "companion" and finally getting ahead. Of course, more importantly, the examination and the palace examination have always been made by the sacrificial wine and doctors of Guozixue, and then the Ministry of Rites and the Son of Heaven choose from the topics learned by Guozi, which is also a major advantage occupied by the students of Guozixue, and it is also a major reason why Lu Zhiyuan can rather enter Guozixue as a "companion".

If it weren't for such an advantage, Ning Jiang wouldn't need to deliberately enter Guozi Studies, and there would be more than two months to take the exam, even if the doctors and professors in Guozi Studies were all well-educated people, it would be difficult for him to learn anything in two months.

Although he was deliberately targeted on the first day of school, he was indeed a little surprised, because he felt that his image should be quite good, but he didn't expect that he was a mocking face?

He arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Chen!" "Although Chen Hao's family background is profound, in this Guozi Academy, everyone is too student, and naturally there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority.

Several other people behind Chen Hao also walked up, and Lu Zhiyuan introduced them one by one, one of them turned out to be Zheng Xian, the eldest son of Zheng Xian, who had become the secretary of the Ministry at this time, that is, Zheng Xiang's elder brother, among these people, he was about the eldest one, and the other people were all from prominent families.

After these people said hello, Ning Jiang said goodbye, walked outside, walked for a while, saw those people talking about this, and occasionally someone looked at his side, showing mockery.

He muttered, "Interesting...... Interesting! ”

On the way back, Ning Jiang was still thinking about Dr. Li's actions of reprimanding him in public, and it was obvious that Dr. Li's purpose was to give him a dismissal. But this doesn't make any sense, Ning Jiang doesn't think that there is hatred in this world for no reason, since there will be such an inexplicable thing, it shows that behind this, there is something that he has not been able to grasp.

Also, the behavior of those people who came to greet him just now was also a little strange. Chen Hao and Zheng Xian, each of whom had an extraordinary family background, he didn't think they would be interested in a little person like him. And Lu Zhiyuan's introduction to him is not so much an exchange between students, but more like telling them: "Recognize it, it's him!" That's him! ”

With a snap, he opened the folding fan and shook it gently...... That's weird!

The house rented by Ningjiang is located by the Dye River, which is not too far from the Guozi Academy.

Today is the second day after the beginning of spring, and the streets are bustling. The slanting sun casts pale yellow sunlight from the buildings in the distance, and long shadows are staggered under his feet.

Dyed on the water, flower boats come and go, and occasionally singing comes. On the street at the other end of the river, official sedan chairs come and go.

Ning Jiang returned to the mansion, and when he saw his brother returning, Xiaomeng was excited, half-lying on the windowsill in the house, waving to him.

That evening, Ning Jiang called Qin Mo, Qin Kan, Qin Wuyan, and Qin Xiaoya'er and asked them to pay attention to see if anyone was secretly spying on them in the past few days.

Hearing the old man say this, Qin Mo and the others immediately became nervous, but with the careful vigilance for several days, they did not find anything abnormal.

Ning Jiang was originally worried that the contact between him and the zombie gate posing as a poisonous prince had been discovered, and it was obvious that the zombie gate could get that kind of information, and the high-level of the imperial court definitely had a foreign traitor, and the hostility he received inexplicably in the Guozi Academy may be related to this, but now it seems that he should have thought too much.

At the same time, there is a matter of zombie gates, which is also under further investigation......
