Chapter 24 Guozi Studies

On the twelfth day of August in the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, on the morning of the third day after Li Xi entered Chang'an City, he officially took a carriage to Chang'an Guozixue to report on enrollment.

Because yesterday I went to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian and other places to go through all the formalities and documents, although according to the rules, he is not qualified to enter the Guozixue from the nine grades of Fenglilang, but since there is the approval of the Guozijian, the Guozixue is naturally released from the text, so this admission is very smooth.

Since receiving the edict in Shuzhou, Li Xi has made up for the education system of the Tang Dynasty, of course, the most important thing is to understand the country's education, which can be said to be a good homework.

Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Guozijian can be called the highest educational institution, before the crossing, Li Xi, a historical idiot, once firmly believed that the central organ of the ancient Chinese state was the three provinces and six ministries, and the Ministry of Rites was undoubtedly the highest institution of national education, in fact, after crossing over, of course, he figured out little by little, the central organ of the Tang Dynasty is certainly three provinces and six ministries, in fact, in addition to the three provinces and six ministries, there are many institutions responsible for special affairs.

For example, the criminal department is not only responsible for criminal cases, but also Dali Temple, and then responsible for etiquette, reception and other things, not to mention that the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the unified responsibility, in addition to the Ministry of Rites, there is also Honglu Temple, and for example, the Ministry of Household is naturally responsible for the national tax money and grain, but in addition, there is also a Taifu Temple.

Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple...... There is also the Guozi Priest Wine, these officials are all from the third grade, half a level lower than the six Shangshu of the third grade, and the scope of affairs they are responsible for is relatively narrow. But to a certain extent, it has to be said that it is precisely because they are responsible for managing specific affairs that they actually have a lot of power in these specific affairs.

Guozijian is the highest education management organ in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Education in later generations. In addition to being responsible for the management of state schools, county schools, and other institutions across the country, Guozijian also directly manages the three major schools in Chang'an—Guozixue, Taixue, and Simenguan—as well as three specialized schools—law, calligraphy, and arithmetic. These six schools are collectively known as the Six Schools of the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, Guozixue is undoubtedly the highest status and the highest educational institution in the Tang Dynasty. Those who can enter this school are not ordinary people, because the basic bottom line of its admission requirements is: the children and grandchildren of officials above the third rank of the imperial court and the national princes, and the great-grandchildren of officials above the second rank.

Guozixue is divided into five classes according to age: Zhou Li, Etiquette, Rites, Mao Poems, and Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography.

In addition, there are some sub-subjects to be learned in each grade, such as Lishu, Chinese, Shuwen, Zilin, Sancang, Erya and so on. Of course, teaching auspicious and fierce two rites is even more in the question.

Although he knew that Emperor Xuanzong transferred him to Chang'an, he definitely didn't let himself study hard, but he still needed a little time to think before deciding whether to adopt his own opinion, so he threw himself into Guozi School first, but out of his yearning for the first school in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xi was really ready to honestly study here for a while.

So this time to report, he was very well prepared, and the gift of restraint was also extraordinarily heavy.

Maybe there were many students in Guozi School who were not qualified enough, but they were shoehorned in, when Li Xi, a junior official with no background, went to go through the admission procedures, people didn't bother to look at him, they just muttered, "Jiannan Dao...... Li Xi, this name is a little familiar......"

Of course, Li Xi would not answer, so after going through the admission procedures steadily, according to his age, he was placed in a class dedicated to teaching Mao Shi. Then, a servant was called over and took him to the class.

The so-called Mao's poems are naturally the "Book of Songs". This class is in the first row of houses. Walking all the way behind the servant, the servant pointed to the classroom and told him that it was, Li Xi nodded frequently, and walked out of the open window of the classroom with the longing and excitement of entering the first school of the Tang Dynasty.

However, after only one glance into the classroom, he was stunned.

That's what it is...... Guozi Studies? The first university in Datang?

Before coming, Li Xi knew that the rated students of the five classes of Guozixue were sixty, in fact, with the more than 100 years of the Guozi Dynasty to the present, there are many children and grandchildren of the officials and ministers in the court, and this amount has long been exceeded.

But at the moment...... There were only about 30 people in the huge classroom.

Looking at the probe, the person who was teaching was wearing a scarlet robe, and he thought that he was still a doctor of Guozixue on the fifth grade. You must know that there are only five doctors in the entire Guozi Studies, and this status is definitely much better than the postdoctoral supervisors in places such as Peking University and Tsinghua University in later generations, and at this moment, in the face of the sparse students in the classroom, he is teaching energetically-"...... Mao's note said that this poem was written when Youwang, but Zheng Jian thinks that this poem was written when King Li, when it was made, has always been debated, so on this point, Dr. Ben can only tell you, poetry to words, we are learning, there are fifteen years and cure Mao's poems, what is sought is the knowledge of the way of poetry itself, as for when he did it, from whose hands, it is only for the rest of his life, and must not disturb the right thing to read poetry. Now, let's look at the first sentence......"

Li Xi stood outside the window and listened dizzy, turned his head to look at the servant who led the way, pointed to the many empty seats in the classroom, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that there are more than 100 students in every scripture in this country?" It's ......"

The servant looked at Li Xi when he heard this, because most of the students in this country were high-ranking officials in the imperial court, even if they couldn't meet the qualifications, they could enter here, and they all had a background and influence, so when he heard Li Xi ask, he patiently whispered: "There are one hundred and ten people on the school record, but all of you have already asked for leave." ”

"Uh......" Li Xi was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at the empty seats, and then looked at Mr. Doctor who was spitting when he talked about it, and couldn't help asking: "So many people have asked for leave?" Is it a coincidence today or ......"

Xu is servant had encountered similar doubts many times, and he didn't need to listen to Li Xi's words, he already started to shake his head, and then said: "Back to Li Gongzi, there are a total of 127 students under the name of Dr. Mao Shi, basically only 30 to 35 people come back every day to listen to the doctor's lectures, and most of the others are mainly asking for leave. ”

Li Xi was stunned again, and couldn't help but ask again: "What about ...... Didn't anyone check it? What did they do? ”

When the servant heard Li Xi ask this, his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Li Xi, and when he looked at the meaning, it seemed that he wanted to ask Li Xi, did you go to school!

However, he naturally didn't dare to ask this question, so he had to patiently explain to Li Xi at the moment, and said: "To be an official, many students in this school come to study with officials, and when they are tired of reading, they go back to be officials. Dr. Mao Shi is still good here, you can go and see the legend of the Spring and Autumn Zuo clan when you have time, there are only about ten people left who will come to listen to the lecture......"

Li Xi couldn't help patting his head when he heard this, nodded, and thought to himself, those who can be qualified to study in this country are almost without exception the children and grandchildren of high-ranking officials, and they don't have to participate in the scientific examination, they can become officials directly, but there is no need to put any effort into these rotten knowledge.

It's just that...... This is too similar to skipping classes in college in later generations, right? Anyway, you are also the first university in Datang!

In the morning, Li Xi successfully entered the school, and then sat in the classroom and listened carefully.

I swear to God, he really wants to listen to the class, but ...... Do not understand.

Of course, it's not that I don't understand it completely, after all, I also graduated from college in my previous life, although the level is not very high, but in the end, it has been influenced by countless famous articles, so many things can still seem to be understood.

And when he was learning words from Zhou Qiong before, Zhou Qiong would often mention some poetry and Zhou Yi and other knowledge, although Li Xi didn't understand it very well, but he also understood it roughly.

But to be serious, after all, the casual conversation involved, and sitting in the classroom at this time to listen to a doctor of Guozixue who is in the fifth grade of the official residence to give you a lecture, the depth of the involvement is completely different, in other words, the postdoctoral supervisor must be very powerful, but you let a primary school student listen to his lectures, it is estimated that there is a ** out of ten is an incomprehensible ending. And at the moment, Li Xi feels that compared to these students of Guozi Studies, he is indeed a primary school student.

There is a class in the morning and afternoon, each class is an hour, and there will be a doctor or teaching assistant, direct lecture and other people to teach the students in the morning class, and the afternoon is the self-study time, you can review your homework freely, or practice words, etc., of course, if you want to skip class, you only need to go to say hello to the doctor, which is very convenient.

When Li Xi came, nearly half of the morning class had been attended, so he honestly sat in the classroom until the end of the morning class, and there was one more person in the classroom, and the doctor didn't care, he just talked about himself as he wanted, and he turned around and left directly after class, quite a bit of a university professor in later generations.

And in the face of such a new student as Li Xi, no one in the remaining thirty or so students in this class will come to deal with them, some of them are quite familiar with each other, and after class, they will walk out of the classroom in groups of three or five to go home, and no one cares that there is a new student sitting in the corner - everything seems so self-contained, but it is clearly indifferent.

This made Li Xi feel like he was left out, but it was right to think about it. Those who can study here, but there are no ordinary children, not to mention that they are all very educated in their families, like the kind of things that are extremely curious when they find a transfer student in later generations, the probability of happening is not large, and according to Li Yifeng's investigation, the students in this class seem to be only one year younger than themselves, that is to say, everyone is already very mature and will not do some childish things anymore.

And this relatively indifferent environment is quite appetizing for Li Xi at the moment.

So when the students came out of the classroom in twos and threes, Li Xi also packed up his paper, ink, pen and inkstone and put them into the book bag, and then walked out of the classroom with the book bag on his back.

At this time, the gate of Guozi School is more than the university gate on the weekend in the later world, although there is no BMW Mercedes-Benz here and now, but there are luxurious carriages waiting at the door, the students go out of the gate and say goodbye in twos and threes, and then they get into the carriage, and the horse's hooves are sounded, and they leave slowly.

Li Xi subconsciously patted his brows, and also walked out of the gate to his own carriage, and after stepping into the car, he watched with interest the various carriages around him slowly moving, and finally waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go home." ”

Just as the carriage was slowly driving away from the large parking lot at the entrance of the National School, Li Xi suddenly heard his name. It was a conversation between two women, and it seemed to be on a carriage not far away - "Childe, has that Li Xi come to school today?" ”

"Here, I spied on him, but he didn't notice, hehe......"

Li Xi was excited, quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, the carriage was running slowly, and before Li Xi could find the source of the voice, the voice had gradually drifted away, becoming smaller and smaller, until it finally disappeared.

"Wow, what does he look like? Isn't it as powerful as the old man said? ”

"It's not amazing, I only took a few sneak glances, where can I see it! Well, if you want to talk about looks, it's not ugly, but it's a little silly, I guess my father ...... Master, that's all nonsense, how many talented people in the world have we seen, even if Li Xi is powerful, how powerful can he be compared to them......"

Li Xi subconsciously patted his forehead, he knew that it was very popular in the Tang Dynasty for women to dress up as men, not to mention anything else, there were many women in Shuzhou and other places who were enthusiastic about this, didn't Wan'er also do it, not to mention Yanjing in the Tang Dynasty, there are many aristocratic women here, and this wind is naturally hot.

But the problem is that after this woman dresses up as a man, she can still go to Guozi School to listen to classes, which is a bit unbelievable! And after she dressed as a man, she was able to enter the country to study and listen to classes, but she still knew herself very well, knowing that she was going to report on the admission in the next few days, and even listened to her tone, the old man in her family praised herself and praised her very much...... Who will this be?
