Nanjing Guozijian gate into is Jixian Gate, Jixian Gate into is Taixue Gate, archway triple, tall and majestic, painted gold and color, walk through from the archway, let people have a heart of awe and solemnity, after the Taixue Gate, it is seven main halls, this is Yilun Hall, the one in the middle is dedicated to the emperor when he is fortunate to set up the throne, the hall hangs the edict five links, the east side is a place for sacrificial wine to handle official business, the front of the hall is the terrace, the south side of the terrace, the middle is the Yongdao, connect the Taixue Gate, this is the road that the emperor drove temporarily, the east and west sides are the piers, At three o'clock on June 20, Zhang Dai, Zhang Cao, and Zhang Yuan stood outside the Yilun Hall and waited together with other newly admitted prisoners.

At the first day, the gate of Yilun Hall slowly opened, and twenty soap-clothed servants trotted out from both sides, separating both sides of the gate, and all the beings outside the door were talking and laughing, but at this time they all closed their mouths, tidied up their clothes, and stood silently - two supervisors wearing black gauze hats and regimental collars walked out of the gate one after the other, the one in front was in his forties, his face was white and slightly bearded, his cheeks were like shaves, the pattern of the official uniform complement was a white pheasant, the belt was a silver flower, and the one in the back was in his fifties, tall and fat, with a face like purple sauce, and his eyes were bulging, as if he had hyperthyroidism, The complement of the official uniform is a yellow oriole, the belt is a black horn———— "The Color Song of Civil Official Uniforms" has clouds: "One or two cranes and golden pheasants, three or four peacocks and geese fly." The five-grade white pheasant is the same, and the six or seven herons are suitable. Eight products and nine products and miscellaneous duties, quail practice magpie and yellow bird. Fengxian Yamen specializes in law enforcement, and Te Jia is a pig of Myronyi. "The supervisor who walked in front of him is a white pheasant, that is, a five-grade official, and the yellow bird in the back is an eight-grade official, Zhang Yuan has learned about the Guozi supervisor system, and the Nanjing Guozi Supervisor is a four-grade official, and there is only one five-grade official, that is Siye Song Shimian, Jiao Runsheng reminded him, this Song Shimian is Dong Qichang's protégé, and he may make it difficult for him, and ask him to pay attention - the two supervisors stood in front of the gate, and the supervisor in the white pheasant official uniform coughed, and the person in the yellow bird official uniform beside him immediately bowed to him, and then turned to Zhusheng, He said loudly: "This is Lord Song, the secretary of the Southern Supervisor, and all living beings will see it." ”

If it is really Song Shimian, the secretary of the Southern Prison, Zhang Yuan and all the students bowed to Song Shimian together, and listened to Song Shimian said: "Listen to the students, if you enter the national prison, it is better than being casual in your own home, all the bad habits have to be changed, you must follow the rules, and strive to learn, the prison regulations set by Gaozu must be strictly observed, if you resist and disobey, slander the teacher, sprinkle skin, and violate the school rules, you will be beaten with a bamboo grate, and you will be sentenced to a cane, and even confiscated into the army and punished as a cheap official - the specific school rules and regulations, to be told in detail by Mao Jiancheng. ”

It turns out that the purple-faced official in the official uniform of this yellow bird is the Southern Prison Supervisor, although he is only an official of the eighth grade, but he has great power, and he is in charge of the Rope Hall, which is regarded as the judicial organ and law enforcement agency of the Guozijian, from the instructor to the teacher's neglect of teacher training, down to the prisoner who violates the rules, he has to manage and has the right to punish, of course, the main thing is to manage the prisoner - this Mao Supervisor bowed to Song Shimian again, and when he faced Zhusheng, the purple face was stiffened, and he asked Zhusheng: "Have you ever seen a long rod outside the prison gate?" ”

Most of the students didn't pay attention, Zhang Yuan noticed that there was a five-zhang high long pole outside the gate of Guozijian, saying that it was a flag pole and there was no flag, bare-Mao Jian Cheng said loudly when all the students were talking to each other: "That long pole once hung the head of a prison student, and it was hanging for one hundred and twenty-six years. ”

The beings present made a gasping sound of "sizzle", which was exactly the effect of Mao Jian Cheng, and said: "In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhao Lin, the prisoner of the country, wrote a headless post slandering the court and scholars, and according to the prison rules, he was a hundred rods to fill the army, but Emperor Gaozu was an auxiliary teacher for the police fool, and ordered Zhao Lin's head to be shown to the public, and it was hung on the long pole until Emperor Zhengde's southern tour, and then he was withdrawn......"

Zhang Cao in the crowd became more and more annoyed the more he listened, and whispered to Zhang Yuan on the side: "Jiezi, what is this plague official talking about!" ”

Zhang Yuan was also very dissatisfied with this Mao Jian Cheng for moving the torture of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty to the present, and this Mao Jian Cheng seemed to mean something, and sneered: "Scare the new students." ”

Zhang Cao said: "This plague official is only eight grades, dare to scare us, these prisoners present, there must be a lot of Jinshi who have been officials in the past few years, and they will scare him to death when they turn around." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled "hey" and said in his heart: "It's like a school in later generations, there are also many hateful teachers, but when the students become famous, they rarely go back to trouble the teacher, just laugh and put it away." ”

This Mao Jian Cheng saw that he shocked all the students, so he elaborated on the prison rules, what is not allowed to wear a hat crookedly, not to wear a ribbon, not to wear ordinary people's scarves, not to get other halls to discuss, dare to insult the teacher and the person who complains about the life, will be reprimanded by the rope hall, this is the etiquette of the prison rules, life management of each class of students must first be informed to the instructor of the hall, if the prisoner wants to go out, there must be a "respectful entry and respect card", this card is on one side of the class, by the student on duty, without a license to leave the class, painfully, do not return before dark, painfully, the prisoner lives in the schoolThose who are not present at night are severely decided, and they are not allowed to sing and drink at night in the prison room, they are not allowed to make loud noises, they are not allowed to talk about right and wrong, and if they cannot complete the homework prescribed by the instructor in terms of schoolwork, they will be sentenced to the end of the monthly examination...... The living beings were secretly frightened when they heard this, who could stand this painful decision at every turn, and the prisoner who knew the story of the Guozijian whispered to others: "It's all put on a show, how can it be so strict, my cousin, it's an old prisoner, don't you rent a house and live outside, and often go to the Qinhuai River House to drink flower wine, of course, you have a good relationship with the prison and the instructor of the hall." ”

At this time, I heard the six rings of the chime, Mao Jian Cheng shut up, the Yilun Hall Wine Yamen opened, and Gu Qiyuan, the South Supervisor Wine and the doctors, teaching assistants, Xuezheng, and Xuelu of the three halls of Justice Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Guangye Hall, a total of thirteen people, walked outside the gate, Gu Qiyuan made a speech to the two students, asking all the students to be humble and respectful, brave and brave, to go to the rigidity of flesh, to abide by the four precepts of the sages, to aspire, to learn, to be righteous, and to be cautious, hoping that the prisoners who have dropped out of the South Prison can become sages and gentlemen, and serve the government and the people, and have skills - and then they will be righteous and noble, The three doctors of Guangye Santang read out the names of the candidates, Dr. Fang of the Justice Hall, Dr. Wang of the Chongzhi Hall, and Dr. Zhao of the Guangye Hall, and the students whose names were read by Dr. Fang were listed, and these will all be entered into the Justice Hall to study, Zhang Cao is among them, all the Nasu prison students who have not passed the entrance examination will be assigned to the sixteen classes of the Justice Hall, Zhang Yuan and the eldest brother Zhang Dai were assigned to the Guangye Hall because of their excellent craftsmanship, and the Guangye Hall has six classes, and only thirty-two new students can directly enter the Guangye Hall this time - the opening ceremony is like this, The students of each hall followed their respective instructors to each hall number room, the number room of Guangye Hall and the lecture hall are together, the middle is eleven lecture halls, and the number room on both sides is the number room of the prison students' accommodation, and two students live in one room, Zhang Yuan did not share the same room with the eldest brother Zhang Dai, and a forty-year-old student was divided together, and there was no time to ask for the name, Dr. Zhao convened the new students in the Guangye Hall non-character lecture hall, and these 32 freshmen will set up a new class, which is called the Guangye Tang non-character class, Dr. Zhao first introduced the non-character class of Yue Assistant Teacher and Liu XuezhengDr. Zhao is in charge of eleven classes in Guangye Hall, and each class is in charge of the assistant teacher, assisted by Xuezheng, Dr. Zhao reiterated a few important prison rules, and left, and then there was a pawn book with two deacons to distribute two sets of prison scarves to each student, and they all had to wear this prison scarf in the prison in the future, this scarf has three styles, large, medium and small, Zhang Yuan is of medium height, and chose the middle one - Assistant Teacher Yue looked at the thirty-two students in the non-character class, and beckoned a student to step forward, this student is in his forties, upright and solemn, It was the one in the same room as Zhang Yuan, Assistant Teacher Yue asked the student's name, and replied: "Jiashan Wei Dazhong." ”

Assistant Teacher Yue said: "Seeing that you are an elder, you will be temporarily appointed as the head of the class." "The fasting leader is the squad leader.

Zhang Yuan heard the name "Wei Dazhong", he couldn't help but move in his heart, Wei Dazhong, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin, died in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, known as "the first person to be loyal and strong in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty", later historians have mixed reviews of the Donglin Party, Huang Renyu has the lowest evaluation of the Donglin Party, and believes that the Donglin Party has only done one thing for decades, that is, to prevent the Wanli Emperor Lifu King as the heir - but Zhang Yuan's own opinion, the Donglin Party people work hard to limit the monarch's power, and oppose the public of the world with their own selfishness, no matter which class the Donglin Party speaks for, This kind of thinking is always progressive, although there are inappropriateness in the late Ming Dynasty in the situation of internal and external troubles, but we must not put the blame for the death of the Ming Dynasty on the heads of the Donglin Party, just like the next four hundred years, some arguments that the Western free thought, the system of separation of powers will die, the party will die and the country will die, it is all the black and white reversal of vested interests with ulterior motives, although there are many villains in the Donglin Party, but Geng Jie is more upright, as far as Zhang Yuan came into contact with: Liu Zongzhou, Qingpu County Ling Li Banghua, And Wen Zhenmeng, who is still just a person, are all people with good knowledge and character, this Wei Dazhong, Zhang Yuan has seen the photocopy of his desperate book, the calligraphy is excellent, the desperate book states the will to die, and tells his family to be poor, study diligently, accumulate virtue, and stay together in adversity, Wei Zhongxian's persecution of Wei Dazhong is to accept bribes of 3,000 taels, Wei Dazhong has to recover the stolen goods after his death, and there are no 3,000 taels of property to sell, and his son Wei Xueyun goes out day and night, borrowing money and repaying the so-called stolen money, such a person, if you want to say that he is an evil destroyer, you have to ask your conscience - so, Wei Dazhong became the head of the Guangye Tang non-character class.

Assistant Teacher Yue said: "Today, there is no schoolwork, you can go back to your previous residence, and move the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other related utensils to the number room, the servants are not allowed to accompany you, all luxury supplies are not allowed to be moved in, bedding and other self-owned Guozijian uniformly distributed, laundry and sweeping chores are also done by Guozijian's miscellaneous servants, you and others only concentrate on learning." ”
