Chapter VIII Studying and Studying in the Official

Helan Minzhi cocked his ears, wanting to hear Wu Zetian's recent situation. www.biquge.info But Mrs. Yang was silent.

"Alas!" After a long sigh, Mrs. Yang's face sank again. The originally energetic gaze instantly became a lot more cloudy.

"What else, after Emperor Taizong left, your second sister went to the Ganye Temple. The green lantern ancient Buddha, if you want to live a hard life, it is also hard. I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

"The second sister is lively and active, and now she has gone to the Ganye Temple at a young age." Wu Shun couldn't go on, so he stopped his mouth in time, with the same sadness on his face.

Yang folded his hands together and silently muttered: "Great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”

"Alas! Fortunately, although this place of Buddhism is an ancient Buddha with green lights, life is sad. But it's better than the palace, which makes people feel comfortable. In desperation, Yang could only comfort himself like this. Although Mrs. Yang believed in Buddhism all her life, she was full of sadness that her daughter had become a widow and a nun at a young age. But there is no way, this is a royal rule, this is a ritual law. Filial piety for the emperor and festivals for the husband.

"I heard that the emperor has to sacrifice to the spirit every year, and at that time, the Ganye Temple was also allowed to enter, right?" Wu Shun seemed to want to go and see his sister, so he asked such a sentence.

Yang shook his head: "Yes, you can enter, but you are either a member of the harem or an important minister in the court." With us ... He raised his head and looked outside, then silently withdrew his gaze: "Don't think about it." ”

"Alas!" Wu Shun also sighed: "It's hard for my sister." I wonder how the third sister is now? ”

"Ah, your third sister is fine, and the Guo family treats her very well. But your brother-in-law has been released as an official and hasn't been back for many years. ”

Hearing this, the rest of Helan Minzhi no longer cared. What can be known now is that this year is the first year of Yonghui, that is, the first official era of Gaozong Li Zhi's accession to the throne. At this time, his aunt, that is, Wu Zetian, was still living a miserable and lonely life in Ganye Temple.

Her grandmother and mother are still worried and grieving for her. But how did they know that as early as when the first emperor Tang Taizong was terminally ill, their daughters and younger sisters had successfully used special means to communicate with the crown prince who had not succeeded to the throne at that time, and now His Majesty the Emperor, Li Zhi. I've had a happy relationship with fish and water.

When the dry wood touches the fire, the day of the sacrifice of the Ganye Temple mentioned by Wu Shun will be the prelude to Wu Zetian's re-nirvana.

It also proves that for yourself, there is still time.

Next year, that is, in the second year of Yonghui, Wu Zetian will officially enter the palace. Six years later, she will defeat Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu to ascend to the throne. At that time, it was the time for himself, or the entire Wu family, to officially enter the political arena of the Tang Dynasty.

"Knock, knock, knock"

The sound of footsteps was not muffled in the conversation between Wu Shun and Mrs. Yang, but was very clear. It's like someone who deliberately puts his steps seriously, and he looks very solemn.

Helan Minyue, who was squatting at the door to play, looked a little frightened when she heard the footsteps, and hurriedly ran towards Helan Minzhi with her little short legs.

Helan Minzhi hurriedly ran forward a step or two and hugged her. Five-year-olds have no problem walking, but they still look a little faltering when they run, which makes adults feel very scared. Don't dare to let your cute sister fall.

Seeing Helan Minzhi running up and hugging him, Minyue looked very happy. pinched Helan Minzhi with his fleshy little hand, and then kissed it. Simply she saw that her brother was always pinching her face, so she thought this was the expression she liked. also pinched his brother's face stupidly.

Yang just happened to see this scene, and then subconsciously smiled: "Minzhi, this child, it's good to know how to protect his sister at such a young age." ”

Even in front of his mother, he couldn't help but feel a little proud and proud of his son Wushun.

"Zhi'er, this child, has been very well-behaved since he was a child, and he is very good to his grandfather, me, and Yue'er. Now he is only eight years old, and he can already read poetry and books. By the way, speaking of this, he also wrote a long and short poem on the road, called Tianjingsha. After the dinner later, the daughter showed it to A-Niang. ”

"Oh? Then I'm going to have to take a good look. We have to have a little prodigy in our family. If you are good at reading, one day I will visit your uncle, and your son can go to Taixue to study the course. He Lan Minzhi looked at him lovingly. Although it has only been less than an hour since they met, Yang likes this grandson of his own.

As early as when we didn't meet, I knew about this kid in Wu Shun's letter. If it seems to ordinary people, it may be bold and reckless. But Mrs. Yang is not an ordinary person, from the time he dared to calmly raise his knife to slash at his second uncle, Yang knew that the young child in front of him, who was less than eight years old, was very mature and powerful.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the appearance. He was wearing a small white robe and black boots, although he looked a little dusty all the way. But it's just different from ordinary eight-year-old children.

The immature baby face is neither long nor short, not thick or thin, but it has very thick small eyebrows. A straight nose and thin lips. And most importantly, those eyes. It made the deepest impression on Yang.

When I first saw it, there was no ignorance or fear of life and shy eyes that an eight-year-old child should have. There is a special kind of maturity and calmness. When I saw myself, I didn't feel scared. He looked at himself slightly, and then bowed. I don't know where the etiquette is, but it should be a sign of respect, right? Mature, more mature than the average adult.

The slightly upturned corners of the eyes, these are the fox eyes that a beautiful woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people should have. On a man, it should be called peach blossom eyes, right? Like the finishing touch, these eyes and the divine light in them are embellished on this delicate face. is a little better looking than his granddaughter.

When she grows up, she will definitely harm the little girl who doesn't know how many people. Yang shook his head slightly, looked at Helan Minzhi with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and recalled the scene when he first saw this kid just now.

"Too learned?" Wu Shun's voice was full of surprise and surprise, and it instantly brought Helan Minzhi's attention back here. I was a little puzzled, but it stands to reason that someone from outside the door should have come in. But Taixue is more important to him.

"According to Yue Shi's official position, shouldn't his son go to the four schools?"

"You may not know that your uncle moved to the right of the country a few days ago to supervise the sacrificial wine, and this is not a problem. If the son is literate, then go to Taixue to study and learn. ”

"Thank you for the daughter who brought her son."

"One family doesn't talk two words."

In the central part of the Tang Dynasty, there were official schools, that is, schools sponsored by the government. However, it is also strictly hierarchical, and there are clear regulations that the children of officials of the Tang Dynasty who are three grades or above, nobles, and royal relatives and nobles can go to the country to study. The children of officials of the fifth grade and above can go to Taixue for study. Those who have more than seven grades can go to four courses to study. In addition to these, the central government also opened the study of law, arithmetic, and calligraphy. And these disciplines are open to the children of the poor.

There is a strict hierarchy, and there is a huge difference between the knowledge of the professors and the teachers who teach them. The teacher who teaches is called a doctor. The doctor of Guozixue is the fifth grade, the doctor of Taixue is only the sixth grade, and the four disciplines are only the seventh grade. From the official positions between doctors, it can be seen how good or bad the academics are.

Although the Tang Dynasty implemented the imperial examination system, almost all those who were able to ascend to the Jinshi and the first rank were not from official education. Among them, there are very few people with academic backgrounds. Most of them were born in Taixue and Guozixue. This is also another hierarchical oppression system, and the poor family wants to get ahead, and there is little hope.

Helan Minzhi's father is just a small official, and in terms of identity and status, it is not enough to enter Taixue. That's why Wu Shun is so excited.

Helan Minzhi doesn't care, after all, everywhere is learning, and when Wu Zetian ascends to the throne, it doesn't matter if he learns or not. Didn't Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi go through any systematic learning back then? What's more, he has countless previous experiences. But if you can go to Taixue, it is obviously better than learning the four subjects, so it doesn't matter.

However, there is one thing that makes Helan Minzhi even more confused.

Guozi Priest Wine, if I remember correctly, this is a high-ranking official above the third grade in the Tang Dynasty, according to common sense, it can always accompany the emperor and enter the ruling class. You must know that for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, there was a gap between the third and fourth grades that countless people could not cross in a lifetime. That's the difference between heaven and earth.

The fact that Mrs. Yang's younger brother was able to move to this position shows that his own ability and knowledge are beyond doubt. The second also shows that he has a large enough family behind him to support him into the ruling class. This made me even more curious about the family behind my grandmother.

The servant replied that the lady in the house had returned to the door. I thought it was the third sister coming back, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. A man's voice interrupted the conversation between Yang and Wu Shun. At the same time, it also attracted the attention of everyone present.

Helan Minzhi looked at it very carefully, because in this deep mansion compound of the martial family, except for Wu Yuanqing, I am afraid that there is no man who can go so deep. This is the person he has had to deal with in recent years, and although he is not afraid in the future, it is clear that he is not very friendly at the moment.

In the early years, the three sisters of the martial arts family were bullied. Although the mother didn't say anything, it can be imagined from the fact that Wu Zetian was so cruel to them in the future. Although it's a half-brother, it's an older brother after all. can be so fierce, Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang must have done some past things that made this empress extremely disgusted. It's not necessarily dirty enough, but it's still fresh enough to be remembered for so many years.
