Half a month after Li Zhiyun went to Wei Yijie, the Ministry of Rites issued an edict, asking Guozixue to teach four more practical skills, namely: construction, agriculture, weaving, and mathematics.

For the first time, the master craftsmen of the imperial court came to teach the apprentices. However, he just sat there and lectured, and the teaching effect was not ideal. So, Li Zhiyun found Guozi and told him how to make blackboard and chalk.

With a blackboard and chalk, the instructor writes and draws while speaking, which makes it much easier for the students to learn. During the agricultural class, an old farmer who was barefoot and rolled up his trousers came. He brought with him many plant seedlings, which made the podium full of yellow mud. The old peasant spoke a dialect, and after a lesson, many students did not understand a word.

This is so ridiculous, it is insulting to let the farmer be a gentleman to the apprentice of Guozixue! So, at the instigation of Yao Kai and Zhang Xiaofan, more than a dozen conservative-minded students began a "class strike". Whenever practical skills were taught, they would leave en masse and come to the Ministry of Rites to sit quietly and recite Confucian classics aloud as a way to express their dissatisfaction.

Li Zhiyun decided to give these guys a little color! So, when the gang of students came back from outside, Zhang Xiaofan, who was walking in the front, had just pushed the half-covered door of the school hall, and a dustpan full of dust happened to hit him on the head, making him disgraced. The students in the academy laughed.

Although they were taught a lesson, these guys still went their own way, and from time to time they went to sit in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Want to undermine my education reform? No way! On this day, as soon as the gang of students wanted to leave, they were stopped by Li Zhiyun and a group of people and prevented them from going out, and there was a dispute between the two sides. Yao Kai was unconvinced: "It is our freedom to express our protest, and you have no right to stop it!" ”

"The addition of practical disciplines was approved by the Tang King," Li Zhiyun said, "If you oppose it, you will be bullying the king!" ”

"Bullying? Don't forget, the current emperor is still the Yang family. ”

"Soon I will be surnamed Li."

"Wow! Your Li family wants to seek power and usurp the throne? What a traitor and thief! ”

"Who are you scolding? Looking for a cut? Li Zhiyun said, smashing a punch into Yao Kai's face. As a result, the two factions fought fiercely, and several people were beaten to the point of bleeding.

Guozi Priest Wine went to Abba to complain, saying that Li Zhiyun led the disciples to beat them together. So, his ass was "kissed" by the plank again.

On the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the first month of May, Taichang Temple will perform in Xuanwu Gate. After dinner that day, the sixth sister came to Li Zhiyun and asked him to go to the theater together. Li Zhiyun wanted to go out for a walk, so he agreed.

Before his accession to the throne, Abba had five sons and six daughters. Li Zhiyun is the youngest son, and the sixth sister is the youngest daughter. The sixth sister is only one year older than him, and she has not yet left the cabinet, so she also lives in the Taiji Palace.

The two walked out of the palace gate, took a carriage around most of the palace, and came to the Xuanwu Gate. There is a large open space in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and a stage has been set up. There were many wooden benches in front of the stage, and there were already many court officials and people sitting there waiting to watch the play.

As soon as the sixth sister arrived at the place, she went to find her playmates and left Li Zhiyun there alone. He was looking around, and suddenly saw Liu Hong and Liu Yinglian getting down from a carriage, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute his father-in-law.

After the ceremony, Li Zhiyun looked at Liu Yinglian and said, "You also come to see the play?" ”

"I don't like to go to the theater, I just want to take Abba out for a break. He can't be bored at home! ”

"It's time to come out and relax. However, don't worry, I will be crowned king soon, and then I will find an errand for your Abba in the palace, and he will be busy in the future. ”

Liu Yinglian glanced at him and said, "Then let you bother." ”

Liu Hong met a few old colleagues and was chatting happily with them. Liu Yinglian glanced at it, turned back to him and said, "Let's go!" So, the two of them walked in the direction of Xuanwu Gate. Li Zhiyun has been in Chang'an for a few months, and it is the first time he has seen Xuanwumen, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart!

Xuanwu is one of the four groups of animals used to represent the four directions (east, west, north and south) regions in the sky, and its specific representative content is: East Green Dragon, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, North Xuanwu. Xuanwu is an animal composed of seven stars in the north, which is the god of the north and represents the north. Therefore, the north gate of the palace is called Xuanwu Gate.

The imperial palace in Chang'an City is arranged along a central axis from south to north, divided into the outer court and the inner court. The outer court is the place where the emperor receives ministers, handles government affairs, and holds banquets with ministers and even envoys of various countries. And the inner court is where the emperor and the harem concubines lived, and there is an inner garden of the palace with beautiful scenery.

The most important thing is that the outer court is in the southern part of the palace palace castle, and the inner court is in the northern part of the imperial palace palace. The Taiji Palace where Li Zhiyun lives now, as well as the Yeting Palace and the East Palace on the left and right sides of the Taiji Palace, as well as the Daming Palace in front of the right side of the East Palace, all belong to the outer court, and the imperial city separated from the outer court by a narrow inner alley is the inner court of the imperial palace. Right now, Emperor Yang Yu of Sui Gong lives in the imperial city.

Soon, Li Yuan will ascend the throne, Yang Yu will move back to the palace after abdication, and Li Yuan will officially move into the imperial city. Therefore, the city wall on the north side of the palace, as well as the main gate of the north city wall, the Xuanwu Gate, play an extremely important role in the security of the inner court of the palace and even the safety of the emperor himself.

Moreover, the area around Xuanwu Gate is also the headquarters of the Praetorian Guard, with strong fortifications and strong troops. Once the politically hostile forces control the Xuanwu Gate, they can control the inner court of the imperial palace and thus the emperor. It is not difficult to understand why the four coups of the Tang Dynasty revolved around the Xuanwu Gate (the regulations of the Luoyang Imperial Palace were exactly the same as those of Chang'an).

They walked up, and Li Zhiyun saw that the Xuanwu Gate was indeed very tall and magnificent. Under the tower, three huge gates allow carriages and pedestrians to pass. At this moment, the imperial city has been curfew, and the three gates have been closed and locked.

Li Zhiyun looked up at the city tower and said to Liu Yinglian: "Do you know? In a few years, there will be a bloody slaughter here that will shock the world! Change history! ”

"How do you know?" Liu Yinglian asked in surprise.

Of course, Li Zhiyun can't say that he is a time-traveler, he knows what will happen many years later, so he must frighten her!

"I once met a master who could predict the future, and he told me."

"Then did he say why this killing happened?"

"For power, of course! Moreover, this killing is related to our Li family, which may be the sadness of our Li family! Li Zhiyun said, staring blankly at the city tower.

Liu Yinglian looked at him and comforted: "Most of the divination techniques are vain. So, you don't have to worry too much! Li Zhiyun came back to his senses, looked at her, and said with a smile: "No way, this is history, no one can change it!" ……”
