Chapter 36
When the wind blows in February, the mountains outside the city of Kyoto begin to be filled with deep and shallow green, and the rivers in the city also begin to float crimson and light red petals. A good time when everything is always new.
On Suzaku Street, pedestrians mixed with vehicles and horses put on thin spring shirts, red scarves and green sleeves, and red skirts with green waists, as if they were full of spring.
In the 20th year of Qianyuan, on the seventh day of February, it was the day of the Zhanglu Academy Exam.
Zhanglu Academy got its name because it was built on the side of Zhangtai Road, under the Luyue Gate.It was originally set up by the Tian family, and only the children of the aristocratic family can enroll. The courses are complicated, such as astronomy, geography, literature, Taoism, and martial arts, all of which are taught by old Confucian masters.
As far as the country is concerned, with such a teacher giving lectures, there is no need to worry about not being able to cultivate the pillars of the country; as far as the Yu family is concerned, being able to listen to studies in this Zhanglu Academy is also beneficial to the future career of the children of the clan.
From this, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperous scene in this school palace.However, the more people there are, the more troubles will follow:
The descendants of aristocratic families, the children of high-ranking officials, walking together will inevitably cause troubles, and everyone has grown up pampered, and wherever they go, they are surrounded by servants. When something happens, the master naturally does not need to do anything, and the servants of the government will fight to open it. Go, in a short while, the school will be polluted into a miasma;
And they are all young children, at the age of being competitive, fashionable things, the materials of clothes and silk flowers, the quality of rouge and gouache, there is always a comparison, because the fact of jealousy and hatred is not uncommon;
There are many students in the academy, there are pillars, but there are also many rotten wood; Dongliang finished his studies early and went out to become an official, and the rotten wood can't find a place to go. If he returns home in desperation, he will inevitably be scolded by his parents and say no. You must be sent to experience life in a place where no shit is done, and you can't please it anyway, so it's better to waste your time in the academy.However, there are fixed numbers in all aspects in the academy, such as food, some people use more, while others use less.The common people naturally pay attention to "don't worry about the few but the unevenness", but how can the sons and daughters who come from the family of Zhongming Dingshi bear such anger?
Later, this situation was broken after Xie Jie was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet.
In the past, Xie Jie served in the six ministries, and these matters were out of his control, so naturally he couldn't bother him, but after he joined the cabinet, he couldn't avoid it.
The eloquents in the capital have the same ethos, and they deeply agree with the saying of the predecessors, "Admonishment to the death, war to the death", and believe that if you can really remonstrate with death, you can be regarded as the ultimate as an eloquent. It will last forever!Therefore, they hold wat boards at every turn, and impeach this one today and that one tomorrow, and blood will be splashed in the court at every turn to show their will.
And the chaos in Zhanglu Academy back then was the key object of impeachment by the officials.
The emperor was overwhelmed and couldn't abolish the "Royal Academy" handed down from Lao Tzu, so he finally brought this problem to the cabinet.No one wanted to take the hot potato, so Xie Jie, who was a newly promoted university student at the time, could only take over. Fortunately, he also received it beautifully, and soon he went to the college, and listed three terms for the chaotic situation in the academy:
One: Anyone who wants to become a student can only bring one servant;
Two: dress and dress, all are unified by the academy;
Three: Every February, all students must first pass the exam. If they fail to pass, they will not be admitted.
These terms are not too harsh, so the ministers who have children in the Zhanglu Academy thought it was okay, so they passed it unanimously.Of course, the academy was able to expel many students based on this clause, which is a later story.
After all, the chaos was cleared up, and Xie Jie got rewards and fame from it; the emperor no longer had to listen to the officials chanting scriptures, and got leisure; It can be said that everyone is happy.
These three clauses are still used today.
"Girl, are you not nervous at all?" Hong Xiu clenched his sleeves tightly, looked at Yun Zhuo, and asked in a low voice.
Yun Zhuo turned his head: "Look at Second Brother."
Hong Xiu followed her gaze, and saw Yun Xuanhe in a sapphire blue gown, leaning against the white wall covered with vine leaves and dozing off.Covering her mouth, she snickered and said, "Second Young Master must have a plan in mind."
"Well, you red sleeve, I let you serve by the girl's side, but I didn't expect you to become more and more courageous. When did you even dare to make fun of the second son?" Yun Xuanhe didn't open his eyes when he heard the two whispering, Lazily said.
After all, Hongxiu was not intimidated, as soon as he said it, he immediately bowed his head in panic and admitted his mistake.
Yun Zhuo pulled Hong Xiu behind him, and whispered: "Don't pay attention to him." Then he patted Yun Xuanhe, "Second brother, if you don't stand up like this, if Hong Xiu doesn't say anything, someone else will say it."
"If they want to say it, let them say it. I don't care about others. Before, I could manage the red-sleeve girl." Yun Xuanhe looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He looked at the crowd around him and sighed. "You didn't say there would be so many people when you came here."
Although he likes to be lively, he doesn't like to join crowds of people. If he had known that there were so many people coming, he would not have come.
After he finished speaking, the servant behind him took up the conversation and said, "My lord, I have inquired about it before. Although there are many people who come to this school to take the big exam every year, there are very few people who can pass in the end. Only two or three out of ten can pass the exam."
Yun Xuanhe waved his hand and patted him on the head: "Do you still need to talk about this? If anyone can enter this academy, what would your young master do? I didn't say that, you have nothing to do with the young master." There are three months in the year, right? Why don’t you have any vision at all?”
The boy covered his head and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the young master taught me a lesson."
Someone at the side saw him acting like a dandy, and was afraid that he would be mistaken for being the same, so he quietly moved away.After a while, the surroundings of the two became empty. As soon as Shen Qinghe came, he saw an open space beside the white wall with vines hanging down. Standing in the center of the open space were the two brothers and sisters of the Yun family.
There was a smile in his eyes, and he walked over to call Yunzhuo eagerly: "Long time no see, how is sister Yunzhuo?"
Before Yun Zhuo could speak, Yun Xuanhe stretched out his legs to stop him, and scolded angrily: "Shen Qinghe, are you still shameless? Who is your sister?"
Shen Qinghe raised his chin: "Hey, forgive Shen for being blind, but I didn't see that Second Master Yun is here. As for the question of who is my younger sister, alas, it's been a long time since we haven't seen each other, but Second Master Yun has an ear problem." No? I think I can speak very clearly, didn't I call it 'Sister Yunzhuo'? Why, Master Yun didn't hear it? It's okay, I will call a few more times."
