Chapter 19: The New Students of the Anglican College (Part II)
The state religion is in Kyoto, not to mention the southern sects, but only to say that there are six churches here, of which the Yinghua Hall is responsible for educating and cultivating young people, and has dozens of colleges under its jurisdiction, such as the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Cardinal General Council, the School of Priests, and the National Religious College, which are responsible for the specific management of these colleges. The educational institution here and the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually a set of teams, the Holy Education Cardinal, which is the name of the court and the people, also known as the Religious Cardinal, the sense of oppression of the integration of sacredness and power, and because of the dignity of the teacher, this building has always been unusually quiet.
Chen Changsheng stood in the empty corridor, which happened to be covered by the shadow of the huge stone pillar, he looked back at the room not far behind, thinking about the shouting and scolding of the previous staff of the Religious Office, and thought that it was indeed the location of the National Church Church, the building was extremely well repaired, and the sound insulation was so perfect that the people outside did not hear it at all.
There are tens of thousands of students in Kyoto, all of whom are run by officials and priests in this building, and there are many affairs in this building, and there are countless pairs of feet in various boots walking around on the bright marble floor, and the crowd is surging and descending like a sea, but there is still silence except for the sound of footsteps.
No one paid any attention to the young man standing in the shadow of the stone pillar, and no one took the initiative to ask him. It wasn't until a long time later, when the sun shifted, and the shadow of the pillar moved from his body to the east, that the time came in the afternoon, and his presence was finally noticed.
Or maybe because the church was about to close, the mood of the people had become a little looser, and the noise in the building had increased, and it was no longer as serious and dead silent as before. A whisper came from behind Chen Changsheng, and those voices sounded like rats gnawing at things because of the extremely low pressure, which made his ears itch a little, and he subconsciously lowered his head.
"What is the boy doing standing there? I think he's been standing for almost a day. β
"Oh, you said that little fellow inquired at lunchtime, and said that he had been kicked out by Priest Sin...... I heard that I came to apply for this year's education subsidy, what else do I need to get?"
"Wasn't the subsidy already distributed in February? Could it be that any college didn't get it? Impossible! With the arrogance of those college deans, if they really owed them money, how could they endure until today? Besides, even if they really owed it, how could a student be allowed to receive it?"
"Who's to say it's not? So Priest Xin ignored him and drove him out, but the boy refused to leave for some reason. β
"What academy is this little guy from?"
"It is said to be the Anglican Academy. β
"What?"
"Anglican College. β
There was a commotion, followed by laughter.
"It's a joke that doesn't make any sense, no wonder Priest Xin has such a big temper. β
"Who doesn't know that there is no one in the Ludao National Education Academy for a long time? There are no teachers, where are the students? I guess, it's the annual orientation activities of those colleges, and that guy is very pitiful and was selected by the senior brothers, and he wants to come to us to do something and get some things, otherwise he won't pass the test. β
"Tsk, the orientation of these academies is getting more and more unpleasant. β
"No, you dare to come to the cardinal office to deceive people. β
"Hey, what kind of academy do you think this boy is from? β
"It's supposed to be a star. The boy stood for a whole day, and his posture didn't change much, who could teach such a student except for picking stars?"
"I don't see it. The discipline of the star-picking army is strict, and in previous years, the most important thing to welcome the new year was to go to the city guard division to steal the chariot, where will you come to the cardinal's office? I think it is most likely to be the Heavenly Dao Academy, those children in the courtyard are familiar with us, and they are not afraid of anything, if they really cause trouble, those children will casually invite some brothers and relatives to come over, will the cardinal office dare not give face?"
......
......
In the eyes of the officials and priests of the Religious Office, the young man who stood in front of the corridor with his head bowed should be a poor freshman from a college who was teased and bullied by his seniors, and naturally he did not think of avoiding him when he was discussing, and although their voices were low, they still accurately reached the ears of the young man.
Chen Changsheng lowered his head and looked at the ground, his shadow kept shifting on the ground, and he was about to touch the parallel section of the stone steps, thinking that he had wasted half a day, and his mood was slightly depressed. After hearing these discussions, I realized why the previous man was so angry that he refused to let himself enter the house again.
How can he convince the other party that he is the first freshman in the Anglican Academy in several years? Even if the other party believes, how can he get the keys to the library, the directory of the staff of the college, the seal of the college, and the money from the other party in the shortest possible time? He is not willing to waste his time on these matters like today.
There was a distant bell coming from the direction of the palace, followed by the sound of music from the direction of the Tianshu Mausoleum, Chen Changsheng didn't know what he thought, raised his head, and walked towards the room that had been driven out before without hesitation, this sudden action immediately attracted the attention of many people.
He pushed the door open, walked over to the table, and said to the man behind the table, "Hello, I want to get the directory, the key, and the money of the Anglican Academy." β
That person was the priest Xin mentioned in the previous discussion, and when he saw Chen Changsheng go and return, he was furious, slapped the table and scolded: "I said you don't want to bother me again! You still dare to say such things! Do you want me to call someone to beat you with twenty precepts and then expel you from the academy?"
Chen Changsheng said seriously: "Then you have to make me an official student of the academy first. β
Priest Xin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Which academy are you from?"
Chen Changsheng said: "National Education College. β
When he said this, his expression was very calm, no matter the wind in the southeast and northwest, I held on to the cliff and did not relax, no matter what you asked, he could always repeat the answer calmly without changing his face: I am a new student of the Anglican Academyβbelieve it or not, I am standing here, I am.
"Don't talk about the National Education Academy, it's still the Heavenly Dao Academy. β
Priest Xin felt that he was going crazy, and said coldly: "Even if you are the younger brother of King Chen Liujun, I will let you know the Tao today, ignoring what will happen to the teacher." β
"This is my recommendation. β
Chen Changsheng took out the thin piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table.
Priest Xin had planned to grab the piece of paper and crumple it into a small ball and stuff it into the nasty boy's mouth, but he saw a somewhat familiar name on the paper. He was stunned, and subconsciously picked up the piece of paper to confirm that he was not mistaken, the name and handwriting were indeed somewhat familiar.
Where have you seen this name and this handwriting?
Priest Xin frowned and pondered, but he could not find an answer, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
In the next moment, he finally remembered.
It is true that he has not seen the handwriting on the paper, nor has he seen the name, and the reason why it is familiar is because the name of the cardinal office is exactly the same as the handwriting on the paper, and the name is known to every Anglican believer, but he cannot talk about it, and he cannot write it, because the name is ...... It's sacred.
Next, Priest Xin read the contents of the crimson seal on the paper.
He felt his legs go a little weak, and there was a faint twitch between his legs. He has a fear of heights, which is a symptom that only appears when he visits the Moon Hall of the Academy.
Priest Xin wanted to take a sip of tea, but his hand trembled a little, and he swept the teacup directly to the ground.
He looked at Chen Changsheng, his lips trembled slightly, he couldn't control it at all, and his voice was even more so.
At this time, he finally believed that Chen Changsheng was a freshman at the National Education Academy.
Because no one dares to pretend to be that name on paper, to pretend to be that handwriting.
"Actually...... You haven't been able to get this letter of recommendation...... What a funny kid. β
He looked at Chen Changsheng and smiled with great difficulty, wanting to reach out and pat the other party's shoulder, but he didn't dare.
The word "you" does not match the child at all, and it is even more difficult for the child to be funny.
Chen Changsheng understood why the other party was out of shape, and was a little helpless, and explained: "I was going to take it out before, but you never gave it a chance. β
"You may be seated, there will be tea later, and I will do something for you." β
Priest Xin picked up the piece of paper, greeted him warmly, and without hesitation, turned around and went out the door, and began to run wildly through the empty and solemn hall.
Those who followed Chen Changsheng's gaze didn't expect to see such a scene, and they were very surprised.
......
......
In the deepest and largest room of the cardinal's office, there are many plants, the most of which are plum blossoms, including plum blossoms, plum blossoms, water plums, dragon plum blossoms, and sprinkled golden plums...... Some are in bloom, some are budding, and more are waiting silently, as if all the plum blossoms in the world are here.
In the depths of the plum tree, there is a large mural engraved with the picture of the descent of the book from heaven, and in front of the painting is a huge bookcase.
Priest Xin stood in front of the bookcase, his expression was a little anxious, his forehead was full of sweat, but it was obvious that he was not as unbearable as he had shown in front of Chen Changsheng before, and he only heard him say: "The Holy Queen Mother is above...... I swear to heaven that I really don't know the way...... He can come up with such a letter of recommendation, or ......"
"Otherwise, how else? Otherwise, I wouldn't have made that little guy wait in the hallway for half a day?"
A priest stood up from behind the desk, not sure how old he was, his eyes were wise and gentle, judging by the way he was dressed, he should be a cardinal, which meant that he was the largest of the entire cardinals, and it was difficult to understand this just by his expression and the way he talked with laughter.
"The seal and signature on this letter are genuine. The color is dark, and the monogram technique, the most important thing is the paper...... I have seen it many times, and I am still happy to read it again, I remember that it was ten years ago, and the Pope was invited by the Holy Queen to teach the prince and Mo Yu......"
Bishop Merissa, looking at his cronies Priest Xin, suddenly smiled, and said indifferently: "Okay, these old things don't need to be mentioned again, it doesn't matter what the origin of this kid named Chen Changsheng is, it doesn't matter if he can become the first student of the National Education Academy in ten years, there is a so-called yes, what does this matter represent?"
"Is the Pope ready to reopen the Anglican Academy?"
"If it's true, how should our subordinates cooperate?"
"You have to grasp all of this. β
"Comprehend its spirit. β
