Taiyang School Palace is located at the north end of the inner city of Ruiguang Capital, there is an artificial canal to pass through the middle of the school palace, a stone pillar supports the magnificent palace top, the outer wall is not too much decoration, simple and flat.

Like most of the buildings in the inner city terrace, the palace was built and expanded on the basis of the original ancient temple, and many places still maintain the original layout, so it looks magnificent and tall, covering a vast area.

At this moment, the students who stayed in the school palace square were all students who came to study this year, all dressed in Tianxia clothes and in good spirits.

Those who can enter the Taiyang Academy to study, whether they are studying or going out, will definitely be able to rank among the upper echelons of the capital in the future, and from the past tradition, these two identities can be changed at any time.

It's just that these students can't go in now, so they can only stay outside.

According to the rules of the Taiyang School Palace, the enrollees will arrive on weekdays, and they will have to wait here until they reach the corner, and then they will open the palace gate and verify the book.

It is said that this was the rule set by the first priest, and it is said that it was to hone the students' temperament and perseverance, and to make them have a sense of reverence for learning.

It's just that in the early years, the climate of Ruiguang Capital was harsh, drought and little rain, so it may be a little useful to do this, but now the climate is warm and moist, and the four seasons are like spring, and the role is very limited.

But rules are rules, and they have been like this for a hundred years, even if it is just a formality, it cannot be an exception.

Zheng Yu stood under a pillar, he was only fifteen years old, he was delicate, not tall, he looked a little sick, as if a slightly stronger wind could blow him down.

The old housekeeper took out a kettle, held it in both hands and handed it over, "Shaolang, come, let's drink saliva." ”

Zheng Yu looked around a little embarrassed, and said, "Uncle Gu, don't treat me as a child, you see that everyone doesn't drink ......"

Gu Bo insisted: "Shaolang has always been weak, and when he came out, his wife explained that he wanted the old servant to take good care of you." ”

Zheng Yu couldn't help it, so he had to take it and take a sip, and immediately handed it back to the old housekeeper, and then he said seriously: "Uncle Gu, there are clear laws in the capital, people have no respect or inferiority, and they are treated equally, Uncle Gu can't be called a servant in front of people in the future." ”

Gu Bo smiled and said, "Shaolang, just listen to you." ”

Zheng Yu was very happy to see that he was persuaded by himself, he saw two students standing not far from him, and whispered: "Uncle Gu, do you still have clean water, send some to those two senior brothers." ”

"The one who is old and rotten is that he has never drunk it. ”

Gu Bo took out two porcelain cups, wiped them clean, and poured a glass of water for the two students, and the two of them wanted to excuse themselves at first, but Gu Bo was sophisticated, and they had to drink the water in a few words, and then they all came to Zheng Yu to thank him.

Zheng Yu and they exchanged their names and surnames, one of these two people is called Wang Bo and the other is called Yu Mingyang, both of whom are students who have come back to study for the first time, because they are both Tianxia people and have similar age and background, so they chatted for a while.

Naturally, energetic young people don't like to talk about dull academics, and the conversation soon turns to the novelties of lateness.

"Two senior brothers, can you go to see the spiritual monster in the harbor yesterday?"

Wang Bo's temperament was a little exaggerated, and his eyebrows fluttered, "I heard that the big newt is thirty zhang long with its head and tail, and it almost can't even be placed on the dock." ”

Yu Yuyang pursed his lips and said, "I also went to see it, the strange body is about ten zhang, and some of it is a tail, but it is also big." ”

Wang Bo was unconvinced: "Stop!"

Yu Mingyang didn't bother to argue with him.

Zheng Yu showed a look of curiosity and said, "Senior Brother Wang, this strange monster is so big, who captured it?"

Wang Bo originally wanted to continue the discussion with Yu Yangming, but when he heard this, he was immediately diverted, and said triumphantly: "You guessed wrong, I heard that the one who killed the newt is about the same age as us, and he is also a student who came to study!"

Yu Yuyang said in surprise: "Really?"

Wang Bo said dissatisfiedly: "I can't lie to you? I am a close friend of a wonderful pen in Hanmo Newspaper, and he told me in private, which must be true." ”

Yu Mingyang is now familiar with Wang Bo's speaking style, and knows that he has probably exaggerated his relationship with the wonderful pen of Hanmo Newspaper, but this incident itself may be true.

Zheng Yu exclaimed: "It's amazing. ”

Wang Bo looked around and said mysteriously: "It is rumored that this person may not be an ordinary person, but has miraculous powers like a divine captain...... Two senior brothers, in fact, as long as we enter the school palace this time, as long as we go to a certain realm, maybe we can have such skills......

Zheng Yu thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Wang won't say that it's there......" Speaking of this, he wrote two words in the air with his hand.

Wang Bo nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, that's it, I'll tell you, I have a close friend, and I'm in ...... Huh!"

He didn't finish speaking, suddenly turned his head to look, the two of them were also surprised, followed his gaze, and saw a man in a cloak walking up, his face was covered by the shadow of the hat, unable to see clearly, judging from the pace of walking, it was obvious that he had been educated in Tianxia etiquette, and he should be a young student like them.

Wang Bo Yile immediately pretended to be sorry and said: "Ah, yes, it's close, this one is only here now, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the school palace this year." ”

Zheng Yu said: "Maybe this senior brother has some difficulties and has been delayed by something." ”

Yu Yuyang didn't speak.

The students in the square also stopped talking one after another, and looked over one by one, with pity, disdain, and schadenfreude in their eyes.

In order to be able to enter the school smoothly, they all came early and waited until now, although they did not feel tired, but they finally arrived in their attitude.

This one dares not to take the rules of the school palace to heart, and now that he has arrived, I am afraid that there will be no chance of admission this year.

Then they saw that this person did not stop, straight through the square, and walked towards the gate of the school palace, and everyone showed a look of good play.

Wang Bo covered the sunlight above with one hand, looked at it on tiptoe, and said excitedly: "It seems that I am looking for a school order, but where will the school order be accommodating." ”

Zhang Yu walked up the stairs, and when he reached the platform, when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged scholar dressed in black and wearing a guard crown looking at him solemnly, and behind it, there were two closed doors of the school palace.

He stopped here, stretched out his hand to take off his hood, straightened his body, and clasped his hands, "This scholar is polite." ”

The moment the scholar saw his face, he was stunned for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he tried to keep his face up and said: "This young man, if you are a student, then it is too late, it is impossible to enroll this year, there is no luck in the way of study, you can come again next year!"

Zhang Yu took out a famous letter from his sleeve, clasped both sides with the thumbs of both hands, and handed it in an impeccable and upright posture in the surprised gaze of Xueling, and said in a straight voice: "Student Zhang Yu, the study of Mu Taiyang today, I recommend myself." ”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, clear and high-pitched, and the whole square was clearly audible, and there was an uproar below.

"Self-recommendation, it's actually self-recommendation!" Wang Bo looked extremely excited, shouting excitedly, and hammering Yu Yuyang the other, who frowned and rubbed his shoulders.

Zheng Yu looked at Zhang Yu's back, but he showed envy and admiration, feeling that this person was too courageous.

Yes, students want to study in Taiyang Academy, and they need to be admitted through normal channels, but in addition, there is another way.

That's self-recommendation!

If you feel that you have enough knowledge, then you can go directly to the school palace, and communicate with the teachers of the school palace in the form of literary debate, or discourse, or preaching, in short, as long as you get the examination school in the school palace, then you can become a member of the school palace.

And once it succeeds, it will not be an ordinary school palace character, but it is very likely to be a teacher with a higher status.

But this kind of behavior is rarely used, because it is much easier and more convenient to take the right path than this, and the door-to-door discussion has the meaning of learning from each other, if you let you come in like this, doesn't it mean that the teacher in charge of the school admits that the knowledge is not as good as you in disguise?

Not only is it a matter of personal reputation, but it has even risen to the reputation of the Academy. Therefore, this road is extremely difficult to walk, and there are not no people who can succeed in the past hundred years, but there are very few.

The most important thing is that the decision is in the hands of the Academy, even if you are really knowledgeable, the Academy, in order to maintain your reputation, may not let you pass, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Xueling looked at Zhang Yu with a stern expression at this time, he didn't think that Zhang Yu could have any knowledge at a young age, but there was a strong self-confidence in the other party's voice, and even he was infected, and his heart couldn't help but be a little shaken.

As if to give himself a buffer, he didn't go to pick up the name post, but took a breath, walked to the front of the steps, and scolded him harshly below: "Quiet, the place where you learn to govern the palace, dare to make noise, except for the book, the school book!"

This sentence was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling kettle, and the sound in the field suddenly stopped. Everyone stared at it with wide eyes, as if to see which direction this was going.

When I turned my body back, I felt like my judgment was coming back. He said coldly to Zhang Yu: "Young man, go back, Taiyang School Palace is not the place you should come, and don't try to take shortcuts." ”

Zhang Yuhao took a moment to say: "If the school order refuses to accept the recommendation, then the student can wait here until the gate of the school palace is opened, if the school palace is not allowed to enter, then the student will go to the yamen of the capital protection office, hold the jade mallet, beat the drum, and ask the Taiyang school palace whether the rules set by themselves are counted?"

As soon as Xueling heard this, his expression changed a few times, and he realized that Zhang Yu was definitely prepared, and although the latter's voice at the moment was neither high nor low, he had a momentum that would never give up if he didn't do it, which made him dare not believe it.

He was silent for a long time, and finally took the self-recommendation card without saying a word, and waved his hand at Gao Que in front of the door, and in the rumbling sound, the two heavy stone doors engraved with symmetrical cicada wing patterns slowly opened.

Zhang Yu looked at the Xuegong Avenue open in front of him, waved his hand at the school order, and then under the eyes of many students in the square, he took a step forward and entered proudly.
