The city gate in the south of Chang'an is called Anmen, and the newly established Taixue two years ago is located near Anmen, located in the east of Weiyang Palace and south of Changle Palace, which can be said to be the closest to the boundary of Chang'an's power center.

The crown prince where Liu Che lived. The palace is actually located in the Changle Palace, because the Changle Palace is located in the east of Chang'an City, also known as the East Palace, the so-called East Palace Prince and the East Palace Queen Mother is this meaning.

It is very convenient for Liu Che to go to Taixue Weifu to inspect, and when he goes straight out of the palace, he can see the Taixue building that covers a wide area.

After two years of development, with the strong support of Emperor Jing and a large number of stationery including paper classics provided by Liu Che, Taixue has rapidly developed from the initial 50 Taixue doctors and more than 100 Taixue students to 200 Taixue doctors and more than 1,000 Taixue students.

It is a pity that Taixue still mainly teaches the relevant classics of Huang Laozhixue - the Five Classics of Taoism, namely "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Guanzi", "Han Feizi" and "Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor".

In order to avoid a backlash from conservative forces, the five Confucian scriptures, Zhou Yi, Shangshu, Shijing, Book of Rites, and Spring and Autumn, were not included in the formal teaching, but were taught privately by masters and apprentices, and were passed on by Confucian scholars themselves.

Even so, the strength of Confucian teaching in Taixue today is not inferior to Taoism, but has a tendency to surpass. It is only because most of the people who advocate the Taoism of Huang Laozhi are in high positions, and they are usually busy with government affairs, and they have little leisure to engage in teaching or commenting on scriptures, and it is impossible for them to go to Taixue to serve as doctors. On the contrary, the politically unpowerful Confucians were quite interested in Taixue, a rare place to preach and teach and solve doubts, and many Confucians even took the initiative to ask for a doctorate in Taixue.

Liu Che agrees with the Confucian philosophy of attaching importance to education, and is willing to encourage their enthusiasm for education. He not only signaled to the crown prince Taifu Weiwan, who was also the Taixue wine sacrifice, to reserve a lot of middle and high-level positions for the Confucians who entered Taixue, so as to increase the voice of Confucianism in Taixue, but also according to the many virtuous Confucians mentioned by Sima Qian in the "Historical Records" in the later generations, he specially sent people to various places to seek talents and invited them to Taixue to serve as doctors.

The so-called "Poetry", Yu Lu Zeshen Peigong, Yu Qi Zeyuan Gusheng, Yu Yan Ze Han Taifu; Yan "Shangshu" from Jinan Fusheng; The words "Li" are born from Lu Gaotang; Yan "Yi" from Kawada Sheng; In "Spring and Autumn", Yu Qilu was born from Hu Wusheng, and Yu Zhao was born from Dong Zhongshu.

With Shen Peigong and Hu Wusheng and other Confucians who had already retired to their homes, the great Confucians who had been quietly cultivating the cause of education came out of the mountains again and went to Taixue to teach the Five Confucian Bibles with great interest, and there was a certain degree of Confucianism fever in Taixue.

Liu Che was dressed in student costumes, and led two Lang Wei, who were dressed in cloth clothes, to wander around in Taixue. Compared with the Miyagi complex, where most of the buildings are dark-colored, the red-walled and yellow-tiled Taixue buildings are more vibrant, which makes Liu Che nostalgic for the time when he studied at Beijing University in his previous life, and the short but cherished leisure years left by the Weiming Lake.

Liu Che has always believed that only the size and situation of the library can roughly reflect the foundation and even the attitude of a higher education institution. Therefore, as early as the beginning of the establishment of Taixue, he asked Wei Juan to build a large-scale library pavilion. With the advent of paper-bound books, Xinhua Book Company has continuously sent a large number of printed classics to the Taixue Library for storage or shelves for teachers and students of Taixue to refer to and study.

This time the micro-service went out on patrol, and the library pavilion was naturally a must-visit place for Liu Che. Showing the letter to the guards of the library pavilion, Liu Che and the three of them stepped into the library pavilion.

It was noon, Taixue's morning class had ended, and most of the students had eaten lunch. They gathered in the borrowing room in the library one after another, and took advantage of their leisure time at noon to take down all kinds of classics and historical classics from more than 100 full bookshelves and put them on the table to study carefully.

Liu Che saw that there were people sitting in almost all the seats in the huge borrowing room, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart the studious spirit of the ancients. Compared with the students who had extremely convenient access to information in later generations, ancient students who also needed to "compile and copy books" were really worthy of the word "study".

Liu Che did not disturb the many students who were burying their heads in poverty, but looked at an old man with gray hair and many wrinkles on his forehead with some surprise. Judging from his appearance, this old man is at least half a hundred years old, and he can be regarded as an elder in the early Han Dynasty. His body is burly, his facial features are deep, his beard hangs down his chest, and he has the bearing of a fairy style, which is magnificent and magnificent and beautiful in the description of the Han Dynasty.

However, it was such a handsome old man with a dignified appearance, but at this time, he was still dressed in student clothes like the students around him, sitting on the mat and carefully reading the classics, this picture really made Liu Che extremely puzzled.

Taichang is responsible for the selection of students, ** over 18 years old, and those with good manners are filled; Outside the county inspection, set up "employment such as **" audit students. Recommended by the county and the county Daoyi, the outstanding young man who is "good, respects the elder, regulates politics and religion, follows the township, and does not go in and out", is sent to the newspaper after being reviewed by the county guard and the king and becomes an auditor.

Although Liu Che had great expectations for Taixue to spread culture, in the eyes of Emperor Jing and important officials of the imperial court, the main purpose of Taixue was to train future feudal bureaucrats for the imperial court, and a regular evaluation and appointment system was established. It is stipulated that the examination will be held after one year, and if you can pass more than one pass, you will make up for the vacancy, and you can do Langzhong if you are particularly good. Those who are inferior in intelligence and unable to pass the first pass will be withdrawn from school.

This old man who is over half a hundred years old, if he follows common sense, should not have a chance to be selected as a student. After all, the educational resources of the early Han Dynasty were extremely valuable, and it was not very cost-effective to spend on an old man who did not know how many years he could still be in politics.

Liu Che, as the actual founder of Taixue, naturally tried to figure out the reason. If he knew that some of the officials dared to engage in fraud when selecting students, he would have really touched his scales. Talent is what Liu Che attaches the most importance to, and in his eyes, officials who drag down the cause of education are more hateful than greed.

He slowly walked to the old man's desk, tried his best to lower his voice, bowed down and said, "Forgive the kid for offending, dare to ask the elder his surname?" ”

The old man was concentrating on studying the scriptures in his hand, and he didn't react for a while, but just raised his head and looked at Liu Che, revealing a puzzled look. When he came back to his senses, he got up from the table, bowed his hand, and said with a pleasant face: "A certain person is too engrossed, and he can't hear what the little brother said, so I hope I don't want to be surprised." ”

Liu Che couldn't help but be stunned, this old man's attitude was really a little weird. Although it is not strange that there are many people who are courteous, it seems a bit too much for him to be so humble and polite to a young man who has not yet reached the crown.

Liu Che became more and more suspicious of the identity of the old man, and the person who was too generous and humble was either an old stubborn who was stupid in reading or an old fox who was very deep in the city and had different appearances. However, when he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Liu Che could only bow down again and salute: "The elder is serious, and it really torments the younger generation." The kid was just seeing the elder's immortal style and magnificence, so he dared to ask the elder about his surname. ”

"Don't dare, the contemptible person is Gongsun Hong." When the old man heard this, he looked at the student clothes on Liu Che's body, and said with a slight smile: "You and I are both students, and we are classmates. ”

Liu Che's eyes widened suddenly, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "I'm rubbing, it's this old thing!" No wonder it's so hypocritical! I think it was his teacher Hu Wusheng who recommended him to become a student. ”

According to historical records, Gongsun Hong was a prison official when he was young, and he was later exempted from his crimes. The family is poor, and he makes a living by herding and hunting. At the age of forty, he began to learn the miscellaneous sayings of "Spring and Autumn", and was quite popular (in turn to teach) Hu Wusheng of Qi people.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne that Gongsun Hong became an official at the age of sixty. His talent is not below anyone in the world, and in the end, he is worshiped as the prime minister, ranking first among the three princes. He got up in the countryside, and he was actually a face, and even thousands of years later, people still respected him. In particular, his spirit of "no learning can be broadened, and no ambition can be learned" is the most striking chapter in the long scroll of history, which will forever be immortalized for future generations.

Gongsun Hong is a human being, and the surface is very wide. He is noble, thrifty and self-disciplined, not luxurious, and people first, so he is always praised. His old age, guests, relatives and friends are in difficulty, and Gongsun Hong does his best to help him, so his family has no money to spare, and the world praises him for being wise. But Gongsun Hong is not like this in his heart, he is jealous, wide on the outside and deep on the inside, hypocritical on the surface, and secretly revenge. The conspiracy to "kill the master's father and move Dong Zhongshu to Jiaoxi" is a portrayal of his hypocritical psychology.

Thrifty and honest but pretentious, generous on the surface but suspicious in the heart, talented but jealous of the virtuous, this is the extremely contradictory Gongsun Hong in Liu Che's eyes. For the Han court, which lacked talents, a talent like Gongsun Hong, who was loyal and difficult to distinguish, was really a double-edged sword that was difficult to give up.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gongsun, and Mr. Jiuwen was famous, but I didn't expect to see it today, and the kid was very lucky." Although Liu Che's heart fluctuated, he showed a happy look on his face, and bowed down and said, "The kid often hears the tutor mention Mr. Hu, the great Confucian of Qidi, and has admired him for a long time. And Mr. Gongsun is Hu Gong's high feet, and he is also highly respected by his family teachers. Today, I am fortunate to see it, and I hope that Mr. will give him advice. If the gentleman doesn't think the kid is presumptuous, can you move outside the pavilion, find a quiet place, and mention the kid a little? ”

Gongsun Hong was stunned when he heard this, since he went to Beijing with his teacher a few months ago to study, he finally buried himself in the scriptures, read poetry and books, and had not yet had any communication with others. Seeing that this little friend was quite generous in his conversation and demeanor, obviously from everyone, but he was not arrogant, but he was quite respectful to him, a country man with little reputation, and even more inclined to turn it in, it was inevitable that he would be a little moved in his heart. He hesitated for a moment before he smiled: "Since Xiaoyou is so gracious, the contemptible people dare not refuse." Friend, wait a moment for me to put the scriptures back in place. ”

Liu Che promised himself, silently watched Gongsun Hong carefully sort out the scriptures on the bookcase, and wiped the cover of the scroll with his sleeve, then solemnly held it in his hand, and slowly walked to the bookshelf and put it back in place.

Seeing Gongsun Hong return the book was like completing a solemn ceremony with his own hands. Liu Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since ancient times in China, only students from poor backgrounds can appreciate the preciousness of books. Although the economy of New China in later generations was strong, there were hardly any more people in culture, which was directly related to the impetuousness of society and the lack of academic spirit.
