Chapter 22 The Four Disciplines

It turned out that in the Tang Kingdom south of the Longjiang River, all states and counties had official schools, and the lowest threshold was four schools, but only the sons of officials with more than seven grades and outstanding local 'gentlemen' could enter the school.

Although Lu Liang is only a husband, Lu Chengkong is talented and intelligent, and his maternal grandfather is the master of the nine products, so he has the qualification of a 'gentleman' to enter the four schools. In addition, those who are outstanding in the four schools can enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination in the name of 'apprentices', and they are only one step away from becoming an official in the court.

At this moment, Lu Chengkong still doesn't know anything about what the four schools are and what is a disciple. But he knew that the best place to get all kinds of information was the teahouse. The next day, he took advantage of Lu Liang to go out and came to the teahouse alone. Glancing across the hall, he came to the table of three or four literati and sat down.

Today, there is a storyteller in the middle of the hall, and Lu Chengkong is drinking tea while observing the literati beside him. Although these literati drank tea in the teahouse, they were not very interested in the storyteller, and talked about poetry and anecdotes. As these people talked, they talked about next year's imperial examination. Lu Chengkong was secretly happy in his heart, seized the gap where everyone stopped, put down the teacup, sighed, and said respectfully to a few people: "Brothers, I don't know what qualifications you need to enter these four schools?" ”

These so-called literati are already very good at paying lip service. Judging from Lu Chengkong's dress, they originally thought that he was also a literati, but they didn't expect to ask such a question, just as a shabby scholar from other places, so they glanced at him contemptuously, and then showed off their knowledge a little proudly.

Lu Chengkong played with the teacup in his hand, pricked up his ears and listened attentively, listening for most of the day, his heart understood what the four schools and apprentices were, and thought secretly: "It turns out that the four schools are schools, which are equivalent to key high schools in the future, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or not, in short, it is ancient times." The ancient times are not as good as the future, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter the church. He glanced at these arrogant literati and said secretly: "It seems that in a feudal society like ancient times, there was no equality between people, and the status of scholars was naturally higher. However, the four schools are also official schools, which belong to the government-run schools, and those who can enter them either have deep relationships or have learned people. Those who have excellent grades in the four schools can become apprentices, and then they will be eligible for the imperial examination. ”

He recalled the simple house at home, and said secretly: "Lu Liang is just a small official in the military government, and his family is poor, I must not rely on my family background to learn the four disciplines, it seems that ...... This me is really a talented scholar. ”

"I didn't expect it, it turns out that I, Lu Chengkong, can also become a living disciple in ancient times!" Lu Chengkong remembered that Yin Zhengyi and Luo Xiuyuan had said that he was an apprentice like them and was qualified to enter Beijing to take the exam, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If it looks like this, I am really a great talent." The apprentice is so precious, and it is close to him to become an official. And in the future, even if you have a master's degree or a doctorate, it will be difficult for you to get ahead, let alone an undergraduate student with half a bucket of water? ”

……

After another two days like this, Lu Liang saw that Lu Chengkong's body was back to normal, so he urged him to go to the four schools as soon as possible.

Although Lu Chengkong figured out what the four schools were, when he thought that he couldn't even memorize the simplest Analects, let alone recite poems, and there were all talented students, how could he not be frightened when he studied with such a group of people?

But he was forced to do this, and after thinking about it, he had to forcibly suggest to himself: "What about the apprentices? I am a full-fledged college student in the future world, and although I am not good at writing poetry, I must be better than all the ancients when it comes to knowledge and knowledge. ”

Lu Chengkong recalled the scene in the teahouse where he just casually talked nonsense and memorized the terms and conditions in the textbook, which could embarrass Luo Xiuyuan, and he couldn't help but feel a little confident, and his heart relaxed: "What if the ancients were literate?" It's not all frogs at the bottom of the well. I'm a futuristic man standing on the shoulders of giants. As long as it is an ancient person, no matter how well-informed they are, they will be bound by feudal society, and they will definitely not be able to defeat me! In this way, Lu Chengkong's heart actually gave birth to a little inexplicable sense of superiority, and he was not afraid of going to the four doors to study, and said secretly: "Then the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since you choose to integrate into this world, you can't hide, you have to raise your chest and accept everything." ”

Early the next morning, Lu Liang once again mentioned the matter of going to Simen to study. Lu Chengkong stubbornly said, "Go...... Just go for it. ”

Lu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face, and said, "After you have breakfast, you will leave immediately." ”

"Ouch......" Lu Chengkong rubbed his forehead, pretending to be uncomfortable on his face, and kept humming.

"Chengkong, but your body is not well?" Lu Liang dropped the chopsticks in his hand and hurriedly walked in front of Lu Chengkong.

"No, it's out of the way." Lu Chengkong deliberately took a deep breath and said, "Although I'm almost better, I'm still a little dizzy, so I'm ...... Let Pang An send me to the four schools. In fact, he didn't know where the four schools were, so he had to let Pang An send him over.

"Are you really okay?" Lu Lianggang's relieved heart lifted again.

"It's fine, just a little dizzy occasionally...... You go and let Pang An come. ”

Lu Liang shook his head and sighed, so he could only go and call Pang An.

After a while, Pang An walked into the house, looked at the table full of military books, and said with a smile: "You, a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, hide at home all day long and study military books?" ”

Lu Chengkong took advantage of Lu Liang's absence in the house and read the book "Lu Sheng's Art of War" twice. When he saw Pang An, he didn't answer, just stuffed the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" into his arms, with a smirk on his face, and followed him out of the house.

Along the way, Lu Chengkong kept asking Pang An about various legends about "Lu Sheng's Art of War", such as who Lu Sheng is, how many descendants Lu Sheng has, and so on. And Pang An walked in front with his head held high, frowning and not bothering to pay attention to him.

After about two teas, the two came to a solemn courtyard. Lu Chengkong looked at the blue bricks and red walls here, the door was wide and the building was high, and guessed that it must be the official school.

"Come in, descendant of Lu Sheng!" Pang An saw Lu Chengkong's appearance of looking around, and did not forget to advise: "Chengkong, you will enter Beijing next year to take the exam, don't be disturbed by books like "Lu Sheng's Art of War". ”

Lu Chengkong came back to his senses, puffed up his chest, and said, "I'...... I see, you can go. When Pang An left, he stood aside with his hands in his hands, wanting to find out the situation first, and then it was not too late to walk in.

Although everything around him is unfamiliar, at this moment, Lu Chengkong feels a little new about such a life. The feeling of becoming another version of himself and gradually integrating into his life is like a game. Especially when everyone else thinks that they are another self, there is an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Ancient Academy...... Students should respect the teacher, and all the etiquette should be similar to the future. Lu Chengkong made up his mind, as long as everything imitates others, there must be no mistakes.
