Chapter 117 Official Pass
Luoyang East Street, another pavilion in Cao’s Mansion.
The sandalwood box, the students' unique Confucian uniforms were hung here, and a very generous carriage was waiting outside the door.
Today is the day when the school year of Luoyang Imperial College is on, Cao Song specially asked for leave to help his two grandchildren prepare.
The required textbooks were already prepared in the sandalwood box, and even a simple food was prepared, for fear that the food in Taixue would be bad, so he treated his two grandchildren injustice.
Of course, before leaving, Cao Song did not forget to preach with great sincerity.
"Ann'er, Shuo'er, from today on, you will be students of the Imperial Academy. You must know how to discipline yourself and love yourself. You cannot do whatever you want, especially not violate the teachings of gentlemen. You must know that if older gentlemen are subject to criticism and verbal remarks from students, it is equivalent to being greatly humiliated!"
Cao Song's words were inspired. Cao Cao always contradicted his husband back then, which made him go to the Imperial Academy to apologize every few days, and even the root of the disease was caused by it.
For this reason, Cao Song didn't want Shuo'er, and An'er repeated the detours Cao Cao took.
"Grandma, Shuoer understands."
"An Er knows it too."
Cao Shu and Cao Ang replied, sincere tone, which made Cao Song feel at ease. He had a wisp of beard and then said: "For whether you can enter the officialdom in the future, the study of the Imperial Academy in recent years is extremely important. Don't waste your study time. Learn more knowledge and choose more courses of "hundreds of craftsmen", such as refining, making cars, or weaving mats, weaving shoes, and repairing stoves, which will be used in the future."
When it comes to the course of "hundred craftsmen", this was specially instructed by Cao Song.
The primary school department of the Imperial College does not have a hundred-work course, but the university department has many directions of training. In addition to normal academic studies, "all-work" is an elective course, but it is particularly important. It is equivalent to life skills training in later generations.
In ancient times, students' academic studies were not as simple as only reading sages. Life skills were equally important. Taixue was also committed to cultivating comprehensive talents.
"What kind of horoscope subject did my grandfather choose back then?" Cao Ang couldn't help asking.
"This..." Cao Song suddenly lost his mind. He is a top student, has good academic performance and poor academic performance. His hands-on ability has always been his weakness... "Haha" smiled bitterly, and Cao Song simply waved his hand, "Your father chose to build a car! His graduation work was a carriage created by cooperating with Hu's mother class and Zhang Miao, but...haha..."
Cao Song simply used Cao Cao as a shield. Of course, the final result was just a smile.
The carriage is an extremely difficult one to learn in the course of 100 craftsmanship, and it is not so easy to make. The carriage made by Cao Cao and Hu’s mother class and Zhang Miao fell to the ground after walking for only a hundred meters. Cao Cao fell to the ground in a dilemma, causing Liu Hong, the emperor who came to undergo graduation acceptance at that time to laugh.
Ask the servant to lift the sandalwood box and let the two grandchildren wear Confucian robe.
When Cao Song sent them out of the mansion, he did not forget to continue giving instructions.
"There are thousands of private schools across the country, and there are countless county schools in various places. Only the Imperial College is the only one. There are more than a few hundred thousand students in the world. Every year, those who have the opportunity to enter the Imperial College can be said to be one of them. Shuoer, you are young and can enter the Imperial College. You are the first person in the history of the Han Dynasty. Even if you cannot become an official due to your age in the future, you will be honored to study in such a higher education institution! Shuoer? Can you understand what I mean?"
Cao Shu nodded...
He knew in his heart that his grandfather Cao Song had unlimited expectations for him.
Of course, another meaning is that Cao Shuo can also understand Cao Song’s praise for his alma mater...
Luoyang Taixue has been educated for more than 200 years, and more than 80% of the senior officials in the Han Dynasty came from this. The officials in the court were either classmates or alumni, and even countless famous three ministers, nine ministers, and seventy-two doctors came from this.
This status is basically equivalent to the "Qing and Bei" universities in Cao Shuo's mind before time traveling. As long as he graduated from it, even if he didn't do anything, he would be three points taller. It was simply a weapon to show off!
The Master said, "Scholars have their own fortune."
Cao Shu was able to understand these words best, and these words were expressed to the fullest in Luoyang Imperial Academy. As long as you step into the university department of Luoyang Imperial Academy, you will almost be equivalent to getting the pass to become an official and have a smooth journey...
"Go!"
Finally, they were sent to the carriage. Cao De, a third-year-old student with the pseudonym Liu Bin, had been waiting for them on the carriage.
Cao Song brows slightly, and he was still a little worried, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Shuo'er is still too young after all, the University Department of the Taixue University? Can he adapt to the study and life there?"
Dada dada...
The carriage drove... The luxurious carriage quickly disappeared in Jinwu Lane and disappeared at the end of the road.
Cao Shu's career is about to begin.
...
...
"Yong" in the Book of Songs means water around all sides.
The university department of the Imperial College is located in such a place called "Yong".
The ancients paid the most attention to the round and clear sky, the clear and peaceful lake water wrapped the Taixue University Department in the middle. The pavilions and towers in the middle of the water were like a jade bi, symbolizing that a gentleman was as gentle as jade, round as jade, and endless changes...
The teacher and the students are almost isolated from the outside world in the lake, so that they can concentrate enough to read only the books of sages!
There is a single-plank bridge above Yongqiu surrounded by water on all sides, which is the only single-plank bridge leading to the Taixue University Department.
There are rumors among Han students that if anyone is qualified to squeeze into this single-plank bridge, it is equivalent to getting a pass for the career path... This is also the source of the college entrance examination in later generations, where thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge.
"Big Master Qiao?"
Cai Yong was examining the list of students, but he saw an old man slowly walking over. However, he was not the previous Imperial Academy Chief Chang Qiao Xuan, who else could he be?
"I didn't expect that Master Qiao would come." Cai Yong hurriedly gave up his position and seemed very respectful.
"The School of Taixue is about to start, how can I not come and join in the fun?" Qiao Xuan waved his hand, and when he was a few years old, he no longer had the same steps as before... "Every time I come to the School of Taixue, I always reminded me of the past and the students who studied in the School of Taixue."
After sighing, Qiao Xuan turned his head and asked Cai Yong curiously.
"How many students have the university department recruited this year?"
"Sixty-two people!" Cai Yong replied!
Hmm?
Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, the Taixue University Department only recruits classes every year, with fifteen quotas in each class, sixty quotas in each grade, and four grades, totaling 240 people. It is definitely not more or less.
As for the reason, there are 240 gentlemen in the Imperial Academy, and almost every gentleman can teach one additional student.
But this year, there are two more.
Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand, Cai Yong understood and handed over this year's list of Imperial Academy...
There is nothing else, but there are two more people in Sima Fang, whose age is particularly conspicuous.
Cao Shu, six years old!
Liu Bian, six years old!
Swhoo... Qiao Xuan thought a little bit. He had heard that Cao Shu, who was six years old, entered the Imperial Academy. Cai Yong went to take the teaching exam himself, and I thought there would be no mistakes. But who is Liu Bian? Why can he go to the Imperial Academy Department at the age of six?
"General Cai? He?" Qiao Xuan asked curiously.
"Can't say it." Cai Yong waved his hand. "Young Master Qiao, this matter is of great importance. I can't say much to students!"
"Haha!" Qiao Xuan laughed out loud. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and he could guess that most of this student was related to the palace...
Since that is the case, we shouldn’t ask too much. “Okay, President Cai, please take me to see the six-year-old Cao Shu? He has been in the limelight during this period!”
"Haha..." Cai Yong had a wisp of beard. "Young Master Qiao? Last time, you had such great expectations for a student. I remember it was eleven years ago!"
Hmm...
Qiao Xuan smiled slightly.
Time flies, and eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye. Thinking about the school season eleven years ago, in order to allow Cao Cao, who had great expectations, to attend the Imperial Academy, Qiao Xuan tried his best and even resigned from the high position of the Great Honglu.
