Chapter 139: A Visit to the Guozijian
After Liu Minghua's "Drunken Yunxian" high-grade liquor was brewed, needless to say, it was first notified to the palace.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and immediately built several carriages to pull wine.
Seeing these carriages, Liu Minghua is a black line! Do you think this high-grade liquor is tap water? In the end, Liu Minghua just gave a carriage of liquor. There's no way, there are still people like Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, and Eldest Sun Jiaqing.
As for his brothers Su Dingfang and Ma Zhou, there is no need to talk about this.
Li Shimin saw the liquor that he had been waiting for for many days, and he was overjoyed! Then let Lan'er bring some gifts to Liu Minghua. In fact, it is to let Lan'er and Liu Minghua get together in disguise. You must know that Lan'er has been in the palace for the past few days and has not gone out.
It takes a morning for the gunpowder maker to get it. Therefore, Ma Zhou saw the stitches and pulled Liu Minghua to go to Guozijian to have a look. Lan'er also disguised herself as a man and went together. She finally came out to find Liu Minghua, and Liu Minghua naturally couldn't leave her.
Andy Lau once said to Ma Zhou: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education!" Whether a country is strong or not depends on education! If education can't keep up, the country can't be strong! ”
Ma Zhou kept nodding and praising when he heard this!
Ma Zhou told Liu Minghua - Although Emperor Yang of Sui scolded people for being cruel, he also paid great attention to education! He engaged in that imperial examination system, which is a great innovation in history!
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty also attached great importance to the imperial examination system, and improved and developed it. In this case, it is indispensable to vigorously expand the Guozijian.
Guozijian was the highest educational authority in the Tang Dynasty, and at the beginning there were few students. There are also few disciplines. But later, Guozijian became more and more comprehensive, with Guozixue, Taixue, Four Studies, Law, Calligraphy, Arithmetic, etc., which is already a very comprehensive university!
Of course, not all the disciplines of Guozijian can be read by everyone. Some disciplines only admit the children of officials; There are other subjects that can be studied by the children of ordinary people, and of course, this exam is also very strict.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the policy of "Hu Han family" was actually implemented, so there was no shortage of foreign students in Guozijian.
Liu Minghua listened to Ma Zhou's introduction. Exclaimed, "Hey. The universities of the Tang Dynasty were already quite good! ”
Ma Zhou asked with a smile: "Minghua, Your Majesty asked you to go to the Guozijian to have a look, just to let you find some shortcomings." You haven't gone in yet. Just sighing good? ”
Liu Minghua smiled: "Hehe." I mean, this spirit of emphasizing education is good! As for the Guozijian, is there anything that needs to be improved? This one definitely has! I think that the things that students in this era learn are all unrealistic, too idealistic! If only these things are relied on to govern and manage the country. It's certainly not enough! ”
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly: "Huh? Minghua, you haven't entered the Guozi Prison yet, so you know these shortcomings? Could it be that you will not know the prophet of you? ”
Lan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Ma Zhou, did you know that Minghua can be a prophet?" ”
Ma Zhou was stunned: "Really? ”
Liu Minghua nodded and said, "Of course it's true!" Hehe, a joke. What are the specific problems of Guozijian, let's take a look at it specifically, after all, it is better to see than to hear. ”
Several people were in horse-drawn carriages, and soon came to Guozijian.
Guozijian is located on the east side of Suzaku Street, and there has been no major expansion yet, otherwise it may have to increase the campus.
When he arrived at Guozijian, Liu Minghua was still a little surprised when he saw this area. The scale of Guozijian is also very large, and the Tang Dynasty could not build high-rise buildings, so most of the school buildings and bungalows of Guozijian are one after another, which looks very spectacular.
"Minghua, why did you come?" The eldest grandson Jiaqing, who was waiting at the door, quickly greeted him.
"Hehe, I asked someone to inform you, who knew you were here so soon?" Today, Liu Minghua and they can be regarded as a private visit to Weifu, so they are ready to let the eldest grandson Jiaqing lead the way. The eldest grandson Jiaqing was originally a student of Guozijian.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing led the four people to the gate of Guozijian, and Liu Minghua saw that there was a statue of Confucius as soon as he entered the door?
Liu Minghua felt more curious as soon as he came in, so he looked around. I didn't see Lan Er, Ma Zhou, and the eldest grandson Jiaqing bowing respectfully to the statue of Confucius!
"Hmph, who's that guy? When you see a saint, you don't even worship? Some students were angry when they saw Liu Minghua Shi Ran being insensitive.
"Minghua, hurry up and salute!" Lan'er looked up and saw Liu Minghua standing and looking at the scenery, and she couldn't cry or laugh a little.
"Ah, salute? All right! Next, Liu Minghua saluted respectfully. For Sage Kong, Liu Minghua still respects him very much! It's all from the land of Qilu, and when you see such a powerful fellow, there's nothing to respect at all.
Lan Er breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The students of Guozijian are all young and vigorous, if you have neglected Sage Kong, it will be quite troublesome!" ”
Liu Minghua smiled: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a student of Guozijian either. And I was still leading troops to fight some time ago, so in a certain way, I'm a military general, right? Military generals don't worship Wensheng, so what's the matter? ”
"You ......" Lan'er was so choked by Liu Minghua that she couldn't speak.
Liu Minghua pointed to the three big characters of "Guozijian" and said: "Lan'er, this is your father's own handwriting?" ”
Lan'er nodded and said, "Yes, my father attaches great importance to this place." ”
"Well, a good emperor!" Liu Minghua said casually.
Lan'er rolled her eyes. At the beginning, Lan'er concealed her identity because she was afraid that Liu Minghua would suffer if she knew that she was a princess.
But, but, that's not the case at all! Lan'er found that Liu Minghua had no concept of what imperial power was at all. Whether it is an emperor or a princess, in Liu Minghua's eyes, they are all human beings, and there is nothing special about them!
As for other princes and generals, let alone that! No wonder Liu Minghua dared to argue with Pei Lone, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty! Liu Minghua can see the emperor on an equal footing, let alone a prime minister?
At this moment, a soldier came up and said, "Stop! Who are you? This is the national prison, and idlers are not allowed to enter! ”
In such an important place as Guozijian, it should be heavily guarded. Otherwise, anyone can go in. That's a joke! Even if Tsinghua University and Peking University were opened to the outside world in later generations, outsiders were not allowed to enter many places.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing smiled: "Li Dalang? Don't even know me? ”
The officer glared and said, "Eldest Sun Jiaqing, what Li Dalang?" Who are these? ”
The eldest grandson Jiaqing put away his smiling face and said seriously: "Okay, General Li, these are my friends, I'll take them to visit, okay?" ”
"Your friend? Let them behave a little bit, if something happens, I'll ask you! All right. Let's go inside! Li Dalang waved his hand and let him go.
Liu Minghua smiled: "Khan." If you can't call Li Dalang, General Li will let him go? Vanity really hurts! ”
The eldest grandson Jiaqing smiled: "What, that kid is just pretending!" We've been friends since we were kids. By the way, his father, Li Xiaogong. You know, right? ”
"Twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion? Of course you do! Liu Minghua sighed. In Datang. If you're not careful, you can hear celebrities.
"Lingyan Pavilion? Where? The eldest grandson Jiaqing said strangely,
Liu Minghua rolled his eyes: "That's a mysterious and great place!" If you want to go there, you have to go through the Western Heaven Elysium......"
After the eldest grandson Jiaqing understood, he gave Liu Minghua a punch: "you." Curse me to death! Also the Western Heaven Elysium? ”
Liu Minghua suddenly slapped his head: "By the way, have you ever heard of Xuanzang?" When it came to the Western Heaven Elysium, Liu Minghua suddenly thought of Tang Xuanzang, who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures in history.
"Xuanzang? That's a monk, how can I not know? Eldest Sun Jiaqing said.
Liu Minghua was stunned: "What? Xuanzang hasn't gone to learn the scriptures yet? Still in Chang'an City? By the way, isn't it at the Temple of Mercy and Grace? ”
The eldest grandson Jiaqing was confused and said: "Xuanzang is indeed still in Chang'an." However, now he has just arrived at the Temple of Leakage. You are talking about the Temple of Mercy and Grace? I've never heard of it! ”
"Oh, I see! In a few days, you will accompany me to the next Wuxian Temple! Liu Minghua seems to vaguely remember that there is really no Temple of Mercy and Grace now! The Temple of Mercy and Grace was built to commemorate the death of Empress Changsun. Now that Empress Changsun is fine, how can there be a Temple of Mercy and Grace?
Next, a few people continued to walk forward.
Although Guozijian cultivates talents for the imperial court and is an official school, it is an academic institution after all. It is inevitable for scholars to visit and exchange academic studies, but if the regulations are too strict and they are not allowed to meet, it will inhibit the development of academics, so as long as there are students to lead, outsiders can also enter.
"This is the well pavilion, and the east gate is called the Jingzhi Gate, which leads to the Confucian Temple. Whenever the sacrifice is made, the doctors and students here come in and out, and people come and go, so it is not lively. "The eldest grandson Jiaqing is really a good tour guide while walking around, and he will introduce them one by one.
Entering from the middle gate, Liu Minghua was shocked, and saw that the school buildings were one after another, wide and bright, and there was no end in sight, even modern institutions of higher learning did not have such a scale. Although Liu Minghua was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect Guozijian to be so grand, so he couldn't be surprised.
Ma Zhou was also very surprised, he was also coming here for the first time.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing introduced with a smile: "In the first year of Wude, Gaozu ordered to run a school and build a Guozijian. At that time, the Guozijian was not large, there were only about 400 people, all of whom were children of court officials, and there were no four handsome students. In the seventh year of Wude, the war subsided, the world was unified, Gaozu expanded the Guozijian and set up four schools, and the common people could enter the Guozijian to study with their talents.
"During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong issued an order to conquer the Confucian scholars in the world and enrich the country's eunuchs. There are countless additional schools, and the expansion of Taixue, four disciplines of doctors and students, only then is it prosperous today. ”
Liu Minghua kept nodding, no wonder the Tang Dynasty was able to flourish for a while and be famous through the ages. It seems that the emperor is still good!
Reading is a privilege in ancient times, although there are many things for ordinary people to read, compared with the proportion of nobles and rich people, the proportion is much less, and the Zhou Li preached "not to punish the doctor, not to be inferior to the courtesy" is a kind of shackle. The Tang Dynasty was able to set up four schools and recruit the children of the common people, which was a great progress in the history of Chinese education and had very important significance, which cultivated many talents for the Tang Dynasty and contributed to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Li, are you in a daze here again? Been in a daze for a few days? Isn't there a lot of progress in learning? "In a gazebo in front, Bu Caizi is laughing. The atmosphere was warm.
"Brother Li, it's not okay to meditate! It's useless to be in a daze. Another student laughed.
"Brother Li, don't be stupid! Come on, come, I'll wait to recite poetry! A student pulled up that Brother Li.
The eldest grandson Jiaqing stopped, looking funny and lively.
Liu Minghua looked at some numbers on the ground, and he fainted: "Eldest Sun Jiaqing, who is this?" This guy is talented! ”
Although the eldest grandson Jiaqing didn't understand Liu Minghua's intentions, he still replied: "Li Chromal, the madman in the Guozijian is not good at studying all day, so he does some inexplicable things. ”
The inexplicable things in his mouth must have been natural science things to Liu Minghua's ears, and he asked with great interest: "What are the things?" ”
"Minghua, I didn't tell you, there is nothing that Li Chrome has done that does not make people laugh." The eldest grandson Jiaqing first derogated it, and then said about Li Chrome: "Why do people speak? Why do people who carry heavy burdens go faster? All day long I think about these inexplicable things. Don't put a good future on the horizon, it's crazy. I couldn't help shaking my head, feeling sorry for Li Chrome.
Liu Minghua touched the eldest Sun Jiaqing: "Don't talk nonsense, some things seem unreasonable, as long as you think about it with your heart, it makes sense." (To be continued......)
