Chapter 37: The Orphan's Inner Courtyard
After seeking the consent of the queen and Liu Che, the Spring Hunting incident gradually came to an end under the deliberate dilution of Emperor Jing.
After the prince's servant was found to have done something on the sweaty and bloody horse, he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide, and like the criminal officials in Shanglin Yuan, he was wiped out by the Nine Clans. The crown prince Zhan Shi Chen Huang, due to Liu Che's intercession, although he was exempted from the responsibility of the royal majesty for not being strict and kept Zhan Shi's position, he was also severely beaten with thirty court rods, his skin was opened, and he lay on the bed for several days. But he didn't wait for the injury to be completely healed, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on returning to work, and repaid the prince for saving his life to the whole family with practical actions. This is not wrong, after all, according to the Han law, he, the chief administrator of the prince/palace (not the eunuch), should at least be convicted of raiding the house.
Liu Che also welcomed Chen Huang's professionalism, because the palace people in the prince's mansion have also undergone a strict inventory and purge, and now only absolutely loyal and reliable people are left, without Chen Huang, the big butler, the affairs will be somewhat chaotic. After all, Liu Che's prince/palace has a lot of secrets that no one knows, and if a new prince Zhan is appointed, he will not be able to control it for a while.
Although it took a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, Liu Che recovered quickly, I don't know if it was because he practiced the ancestral internal skills of his previous life, or because the children's recovery was strong, or because the medicinal materials of the royal family were full of years, in short, after taking the Chinese medicine he had prepared for more than half a month, Liu Che was able to jump alive again.
Thinking that he was wrapped in a mummy after being injured in Shanglin Yuan, Liu Che had a chill, and just recovered, so he hurriedly wrote a booklet silently and summoned Zhang Qian to explain it in detail.
The scale of the orphanage at the foot of Nanshan Mountain has gradually expanded, and according to Liu Che's original concept, it is divided into several blocks, such as the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the unemployed hospital. From the top of the hill, there are several huge estates that are separated.
The inner courtyard of the orphanage is now said to have built a large courtyard, and there is a large plaque hanging on the door, which reads "Medical College". The children of the inner courtyard have long been accustomed to this, and from time to time new courtyards are built in the inner courtyard for the gentlemen to impart some unusual knowledge. Such as the College of Physics, the School of Mathematics, the School of Biology, the School of Geography, the College of Agriculture and the Military College, etc., there are more than ten categories.
After entering the orphanage, the orphans will spend a month in the outer courtyard for a short period of time, and then they will have to answer all kinds of strange questions raised by the gentlemen, and those who perform well will be selected to study in different colleges in the inner courtyard.
Although the knowledge taught in each college is different, there is a common rule, and every month the gentlemen will send the children who are slow to learn and do not work hard enough to send them to the orphanage home. Children in the unemployed homes no longer need to learn various knowledge, but learn some general agricultural and artisan trades so that they can support themselves in the future.
Although the children of the inner courtyard do not fully understand the concept of the unemployed home, they faintly feel that they can no longer learn when they enter the unemployed home, and can only aimlessly mix into adulthood and become ordinary farmers or craftsmen, at least not as good as the students of the Agricultural College and the Gewu College. This simple outlook on life and values made the orphans burst out with a strong learning when faced with the cruel elimination competition system, and they were hungry to absorb all kinds of basic knowledge brought by Liu Che from two thousand years later, in order to continue to stay in the inner courtyard.
Liu Che didn't want them to face cruel competitive pressure at a young age, after all, this would have a lot of psychological shadows on them. Liu Che is even worried that he will cultivate some perverts who fail to achieve their goals and will do whatever they want. But he really didn't have much time to move forward slowly, and the orphanage had invested a lot of money, and there was always something to pay off. Thankfully, these suffering children were surprisingly strong, and they were much stronger than those little emperors and princesses in later generations, and the whole orphanage presented a thriving and gratifying situation.
Zhao Li has been assigned to the Military Academy for more than a month, and he has also moved into the Chase Shop in the Military Academy. As the first batch of cadets of the Military Academy, Zhao Li, who learned the fastest and trained the hardest, was assigned to the newly built medical school today to maintain order. In the eyes of many students, this is a beautiful job that can escape the training of devil instructors, and can also mix two small stoves specially opened for gentlemen and instructors in the academy cafeteria. But in Zhao Li's eyes, this special reward from Mr. is basically the same as a punishment, and falling behind a day's course means that he has to spend more time consulting Mr. and instructors, so as not to keep up with the progress and fall behind others.
Zhao Li, who was wearing a dark combat uniform, and Zhou Cong, another outstanding student, stood straight outside the gate of the medical school like a door god, trying to interpret the military posture and military appearance that the instructor had strictly demanded for more than a month. Students from other academies walked in front of them and couldn't help but cast envious glances.
It has to be said that the cadets of the military academy are the most special existence in the entire inner courtyard. Unlike the natural linen costumes of all the other students in the inner courtyard, the military cadets are all specially made black combat uniforms. Liu Che, as a military cadet and a reserve soldier, avoided the strict control of civilian clothing in the Han Dynasty in disguise, and fused the training uniforms and combat uniforms of the special forces of later generations into a unique Han Dynasty version of the combat uniform, making it suitable for both riding and footing.
When the freshmen of the medical school were slowly late, Zhao Li finally understood why the instructor had sent hundreds of outstanding students from the military academy to maintain order, and there were quite a few girls among the students of the medical school! The orphanage was detonated all at once!
Although the Han Dynasty did not pay as much attention to the defense of men and women as later dynasties, the sudden appearance of hundreds of little girls in an orphanage that had reached nearly 10,000 boys has to be said to be a strong stimulation of puberty hormones. For a time, a large number of people flocked to the gates of the medical school. Of course, this is not to say that the male students in the inner courtyard want to do something dirty, but there is always curiosity, coupled with some of the psychology of watching the excitement, it will inevitably become some chaos.
At this time, the outstanding military cadets showed the results of more than a month of military education. After a brief moment of surprise, they regained their composure and maintained order on the scene in an orderly manner. Dozens of students held their long sticks across their chests and pushed the crowd outward in order to leave enough space in front of the courtyard gate. Most of the boys stepped back cooperatively, after all, few dared to offend these evil stars in dark combat uniforms. Occasionally, if one or two thorns deliberately retreat slowly, other military cadets will rush over and beat them up, not worrying that the other party will fight back. The orphanage has very strict management regulations, and it is absolutely forbidden to fight fiercely. If found, they will be beaten with a few rods or expelled from the orphanage. Only military cadets are able to use force appropriately in the performance of their duties, and this is the main reason why military cadets are feared.
Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Military cadets not only have to complete their regular study and training, but are also responsible for some simple patrol and duty tasks in the inner courtyard. Moreover, they are more strictly controlled, and the maximum punishment for serious violations of the regulations is the death penalty, and there is no talk of expulsion from the orphanage at all.
Zhao Li and Zhou Cong are both top figures among the military cadets, not only outstanding in training, but also very high in IQ. In the more than three months since they came to the orphanage, they have been able to read a lot. Therefore, the instructor specially arranged for them to stand at the entrance of the medical school, according to the roster in their hands, and check the hand cards of the new students, so that they could be admitted to the school of the medical school. After all, it would be too disrespectful to let the old gentlemen of the medical school do it. In the orphanage, the status of the gentlemen is very high, there is a small stove for eating, and there is also a beautiful house for accommodation. When Zhao Li was looking for Mr. to ask for advice in private, he once went to Mr.'s house to place them, and all kinds of exquisite objects that he had never seen before almost scared him silly. Later, I heard from Daddy Geng that the gentlemen's houses were more beautiful than the most luxurious heavenly rooms in Chang'an City.
Zhao Li and the others meticulously checked the cards of the new students, and really met a few boys who were not afraid of death, and wanted to mix in the freshmen team of the medical school and go in to see what was new. Their fate was very tragic, not only were they dragged away and beaten violently, but they also had to be escorted to the management office of the inner courtyard, and as for what kind of punishment they would receive, it was not the concern of the military cadets.
These students who were assigned to the medical school had obviously just passed a month of study in the outer courtyard, and had just entered the inner courtyard after being selected, and they were very unfamiliar and curious about everything in the inner courtyard. Several precocious little girls gathered around, pointing at the majestic military cadets, and from time to time they would blush and cover their mouths and snicker. The leader of the team was a female gentleman from the orphanage, who was not very old, and it is said that the prince had specially sent him to supervise the teaching of the medical school. The female gentleman was very permissive to the little girls, and instead of scolding them, she joined the discussion.
Zhou Cong frowned when he saw that the originally neat team had become a little messy again, but he didn't dare to scold. He usually said that he was beaten by the old gentleman in the military academy, which left some psychological shadows. Even if he is facing a young female gentleman now, he is still a little afraid. Zhou Cong put his arm against Zhao Li, who was concentrating on checking his hand, and motioned him to take care of it with his eyes. Zhao Li is a well-known stubborn temper in the military academy, and when he is on duty, he shows no mercy to his companions who do not abide by military discipline. Especially in a training, he did not hesitate to point out the negligence of the instructor, and was even named the "cold-faced general" by the laughing instructor.
Zhao Li looked up, without saying a word, he walked straight to the female gentleman, gave a military salute neatly, and said with a serious face: "Sir, please obey the order, otherwise the student has the right to report to the management office of the inner court!" ”
The female gentleman was stunned when she heard this, she was specially sent by the prince, and the chief steward of the orphanage was polite when she saw her, who knew that she was taught a lesson by a little hairy child, and she couldn't help but be angry and funny. But she has served the prince since she was a child, and now she has been serving the prince for several years, and she knows some of the rules here. The old people around the prince understood how much he attached importance to the inner courtyard of this orphanage, and he also did not like people to show off their power outside under his banner. Today's incident is her fault, in case of trouble, it will be light to hit a few canes. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile, signaled that I understood, and obediently stood back in my place.
After this incident, the freshmen team of the medical school became orderly, after all, they all saw that the cold-faced boy in black had suppressed the female gentleman with a word, who would dare to find it unhappy. Zhao Li continued to go back to check his hand expressionlessly, ignoring Zhou Cong's secretly outstretched thumb. But what he didn't know was that the female gentleman who had just eaten deflated was looking at this funny hairy boy with a smile in her eyes, calculating how to tease him once.
Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me! Don't offend women, especially smart women who still hold a certain amount of power, let's pray for poor Zhao Li.
