There is a large area of ​​solemn buildings in Qili of the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, where the Imperial Academy is located.

The Taixue was called Biyong in the Zhou Dynasty. It was called the trinity of Mingtang and Lingtai, and was also called "Three Yongs". It was the core of Zhou politics. After all, the major affairs of the country were in sacrifice and Rong.

During the former Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars proposed reconstruction very early, but Emperor Wu of Han was busy expanding territory and overhauling palaces and gardens to satisfy his enjoyment. He was not moved by Zhou Zheng and ignored these voices.

Until Emperor Yuan of Han, he began to increase efforts to use Confucian scholars, and the re-enactment of Sanyong was re-mentioned by Liu Xiang and others. However, the ancient Zhou system had long been destroyed and could not be investigated. Confucius himself probably did not understand that the old doctors of the modern literary classics had a sect dispute, and they debated for decades, and there was still no unified opinion on how Sanyong should establish the law.

"In the end, the national master couldn't stand it anymore..."

In the past few days, no matter where he goes, someone has mentioned the "national master" with the same name as him. Liu Xiu is a little annoyed with this old guy.

"You deserve to be called Liu Xiu?" It's so hurtful.

But Liu Xiu did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, and he still listened to the "maintainment" who brought them to the Imperial Academy - this person was the disciple of the national teacher, named Zheng Xing and the courtesy name was Zigan.

"My teacher Liu Yingshu was a Taizhong doctor at that time. He wrote an article "Letter to Transfer Doctor Taichang", denying that Dr. Jinwen was self-confidence, keeping his own concessions, being jealous of the true way, losing his will, and falling into the discussion of civil servants."

From then on, Liu Xin took the banner of ancient scriptures and sang a stage play against the decadent and accumulated evils of modern scriptures. After Emperor Ai of Han died and Wang Mang returned to power, he began to fully adopt Liu Xin's opinions.

Not only did he include ancient classics in the official school, he also supported Liu Xin and asked him to collect the five books "Zuo Shu", "Mao Shi", "Yi Li", "Ancient Li", and "Zhou Guan Jing" from the folk ancient classics. In the ancient classics of the secret palace, he found the source of Sanyong in three to five!

As for the truth or falsehood, it depends on one's own opinion.

Since you have a gourd, it is much easier to copy.

Zheng Xing said: "On August of that year, the Gengzi day, who was still Zaiheng, came here with a letter of letter, took off his broad clothes and belt, and went to the floor to shovel soil and move bricks. This matter was immediately known to everyone in the capital. On the next day, on the day of Xinchou, 100,000 people came from the capital and the Sanfu!"

"There are students, common people, and even merchants and son-in-law. They were moved by the actions of the emperor and all came to help. Under the leadership of the emperor and the general master craftsman, Sanyong was completed in just twenty days!"

It was such a miracle. In that era of moral decay, what people were looking forward to was miracles.

Zheng Xing believed in all this from the bottom of his heart: "In ancient times, Duke Zhou was honored by King Cheng, and it took him seven years to formulate the Zhou rituals. The Zhou rituals were abolished and no one could revive them. Even Confucius hit a wall, but it only took him four years to complete the production of rituals and music, and his merit was ruined. In just two days, the Mingtang, Piyong and Lingtai, which had been abandoned for thousands of years, stood here again!"

"You guys, such achievements and holy virtues have been created since the Tang Dynasty and Yu, and the Chengzhou Dynasty have been created with karma.

Zheng Xing was excited. After all, they had regarded the revival of Zhou Zheng as their mission since elementary school. Now someone has realized this and created the San Yongzhao, which symbolized the ethics of the Zhou Dynasty. Wang Mang is not a saint, who is?

Is it reasonable for the Han people to give such a saint to be unsuccessful?

The Tai students from Nanyang also nodded one after another, but Liu Xiu felt uncomfortable when he listened. He also learned Confucianism, but he still had the blood of Emperor Gao of Han, so how could he not have any grief for his homeland?

After the routine education of each year, Zheng Xing lets the new students become familiar with the Imperial Academy by themselves.

There are five areas in the Taixue School, Chengjun in the south, Shangguan in the north, Eastern Xu in the east, Bianzong in the west, and Piyong in the middle. Piyong was the largest and built on the waterside, with the wall shaped like a wall ring.

To the north is the Tai Student House that can accommodate 10,000 people. Perhaps Wang Mang was having a hard time studying when he was young, and after becoming the emperor, he was very concerned about the daily life of the Tai Student teachers and students.

The Imperial College has set up a market to facilitate their lives, and a warehouse of permanent storage is set up to supply grain, so that students will not be hungry. No matter the distance, there are long corridors connected to the building, and eaves are set up so that students will not have enough rain or have their heads in the heat.

Although most of the students from prefectures and counties were not poor, the county officials' schools were relatively simple, and they were very satisfied after entering the complete system of the Imperial College. Listening to Zheng Xing's praise for the new policy, he was even more touched.

After all, Taishen is indeed the biggest beneficiary of Wang Mang's restructuring, and the first time the scholars have been praised to the highest point.

Liu Xiu knew what he was doing in Taixue. He first went to Chengjunguan in the south. He had a fellow villager and friend named Zhu You and his courtesy name Zhongxian. He entered the school a few years ago and now he stayed in Taixue to be a "student".

When Liu Xiu came outside the Chengjun lecture hall, Zhu You was teaching a group of tyrant students. When he saw the young man with a big mouth outside the door, he recognized it as Liu Xiu at a glance. Zhu You often went to the Liu family in Chongling when he was young, and he was too familiar with the two brothers.

"Uncle Wen, come in quickly."

Zhu You didn't care about the rules, and waved Liu Xiu with a smile, letting him sit in the closest position to him, which made the students look sideways.

Halfway through the talk, Zhu You ordered everyone to read the lesson he had just taught. He sat next to Liu Xiu and said happily: "Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, when Bo Sheng and I came to the Imperial Academy a few years ago, you refused. Now you are a new disciple, but I am already a lecturer. Don't you call Master to listen?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "If Zhong is willing to accept me first, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu You hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just just now, there are thirty doctors in this Imperial Academy. Below the doctors, there are eight people in charge, eight brothers in Gao, and eight lecturers. You must not accept disciples without a doctor. I am a little servant, and I only occasionally come to teach as a teacher, but I am not qualified to teach you."

The Imperial Academy is also of distinct hierarchy. Zheng Xing, who sang praises to Wang Mang in front of the new student, was in charge. Yesterday, the one who forced Liu Xiu to change his name was Gao Di, who was both taller than Zhu You.

Zhu You also said that he could introduce the teacher to Liu Xiu. Since Wang Mang came to power and the expansion of enrollment in the Imperial Academy, a total of 1800 people have been studying here. The competition is getting more and more intense, and often you have to go through relationships to join the teacher.

"There are six classics of the Taixue School, which are divided into twenty schools. I wonder which one Uncle Wen wants to learn?"

When Liu Xiu came, he thought about it without hesitation: "I want to learn the Book of Documents!"

Zhu You said: "Is it because Bo Sheng came to Chang'an back then and learned the Shangshu?"

There is indeed a reason. Although Liu Yan had a quota for students five or six years ago, he was all about making friends with heroes. The Shangshu who spent a lot of money to ask someone to copy was also left at home. However, Liu Xiu was bored when supervising the slaves to do farm work and turned it over several times.

He came to Taixue not just to study the classics, but also to see the world, know the government affairs, and travel widely. Choosing a basic classic technique can save a lot of energy.

In addition, Liu Xiu also felt that learning the Shangshu can understand the way of benevolent monarchs and govern the people and the principles of wise ministers serving the kings. On the premise that the elders are determined to do great things, learning may be beneficial.

"Want to learn ancient Chinese? Modern Chinese?"

Zhu You said: "The Book of Ancient Literature is a doctor who is a disciple of the state. At the end of the year, there are many people who are successful."

"I don't like ancient Chinese."

Liu Xiu shook his head. He is now walking around the master Liu Xin and his disciples, so he is not willing to join in the fun.

Zhu You also said: "There are three schools of writing "Ouyang Shangshu", "Daxiahou Shangshu" and "Little Xiahou Shangshu". Wen Shu will choose one."

Liu Xiu said casually: "Zhong first knows which company he is familiar with, so he recommends me to come."

In the end, Zhu You found a doctoral student who taught "Ouyang Shangshu" for Liu Xiu, Xu Weng, a native of Lujiang, whose courtesy name was Ziwei.

When Liu Xiu went to deliver Shu Xiu to Xu Ziwei, it was a strong wind. He felt a chill as soon as he left the door. He couldn't help but tighten his fur and shivered.

"This north is really cold!"

His hometown, Nanyang, belongs to Jingzhou. The climate is warm, not like Chang'an, the northern country. When the cold wind starts in winter, it is like a knife cutting flesh. After night, the house must be burned to stay away.

Zhu You took Liu Xiu to the Shangyang Pavilion north of the Imperial Academy. When he found Xu Ziwei's house, he found that there were already long queues outside the courtyard where he lived to teach, but there were other freshmen who came to study.

Liu Xiu was holding Shu Xiu in his hand, and there was a talisman that was exclusive to each student on his waist, with their hometown and name written on it.

His eyes were attracted by the name of the man in front of him, which was really rare.

"Liewei County, the eighth pick?"

The eighth Jiao in front also looked back at the beautiful young man with big mouth, and glanced at the wooden sign on Liu Xiu's waist.

"Former team county, Liu Jiao?"

...

After the master's resignation, there was no lecture today. Zijiao returned to Chang'an. He wanted to say goodbye to the fifth reunion and the others. From then on, Zijiao has to stay in the Imperial Academy forever.

As soon as I entered Xuanmingli, I found that it was very lively. Not only Jing Dan, but also Wang Long came to live. He was busy copying Sima Xiangru's poems. This was the "homework" left to him by Yang Xiong. The weather was cold and his hands were red.

"It's really cold this day, Ji Zheng comes in soon."

The fifth reunion asked the eighth brother to come into the house, and the fire kang had already burned inside. This should be an invention during the Qin and Han dynasties. If there was no such thing in the north, it would be absolutely difficult to bear in winter.

Although Wu Lun gave up the Taixue quota, he was quite curious about it, so he asked Di Bajiao's experience in enrollment. This question surprised him quite.

First, I heard the eighth Jiao repeat the praises of the heads to Wang Mang. When I heard that 100,000 students had been mobilized and the people went to practice the San Yong, I was shocked.

"Wang Mang is really good at engaging in publicity and mobilizing the masses."

He also remembered the inscription on his own bronze mirror.

When I found it, I saw two sentences on it: "Newly-Emerged Biyong built Mingtang, but I was promoted to the lords and kings."

"The general ordered Yinmin to do what he did, and all the students were in the north, and the joy of the center..."

It is probably a souvenir made when Sanyong was built.

I listened to the eighth Jiao describing the pattern of the Imperial Academy, and the fifth brother couldn't help but smile.

"Isn't this the university town in later generations? There are more than 10,000 students, and there are markets and canteens."

As for the five parts in the Imperial Academy, Biyong, Chengjun, Shangke, Dongxu, and Biao (gǔ) Sect, it is very similar to those ancient buildings in later universities.

After Wang Mang and his national teacher supplemented the music scriptures, they added "Poetry", "Book", "Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn Annals", and the six classics in the Taixue were prepared, just like the six major colleges.

Each classic has become many small schools based on the different chapters and sentences of the teacher, such as "The Book of Zuo of the Spring and Autumn Period", "Gongyang" and "Jingliang", which are similar to the majors divided by the college.

Thirty doctors are equivalent to professional tutors. As for the leaders who are in charge, Gao and the lecturer, they are very similar to counselors, temporary lecturers, postdoctoral fellows, etc.

What a pity, the fifth reunion laughed secretly, they were all liberal arts.

At this time, Jing Dan, who had also studied in the Imperial Academy for several years, came back and added: "In addition to the Six Classics, after His Majesty became the Imperial Academy, he still recruited people of superpowers in the world without any restrictions, such as astronomy, geography, prophecies, clocks and rules, monthly orders, yin and yang, and military tactics, all went to the public bus, and thousands of people gathered in the Dongxu Hall."

Wu Lun was stunned again [Dingdian Novel     www.xbooktxt.info]: "Is this a comprehensive university?"

Fifth Ren suddenly felt that later generations often considered "the oldest university in the world" to Europe, and Xinmang Taixue expressed dissatisfaction!

He knew that these must be coincidentals, but he became more and more curious about Wang Mang, but unfortunately, with his current status, it was almost impossible to meet the emperor of the new dynasty.

After calming down, Di Wulun did not regret dropping out of school. After all, it was too late for students to study hard for several years or even ten years. Only after obtaining the doctoral permission would they have the opportunity to take the shooting test and compete for those 100 opportunities to take the post. Forty people in the First Class were admitted to the position of Di Wulun.

If it is in the peaceful season, the fifth reunion has already won at the starting line, but it’s a pity that this is a chaotic era and there will be a reshuffle sooner or later.

What the fifth relationship can do is to save more cards in your hands before that.

He only asked No. 8: "Every year, one or two thousand Tai students rushed to Chang'an, which can be said to be a place where talents gather. After you go there for a few days, you will meet a knowledgeable person?"

Bajiao shook his head. He was introverted and focused on reading books of sages. He had no intention of his friendships and his circle was limited to his fellow villagers in Liewei County.

So, Di Bajiao was taught a lesson by Di Bajiao, asking him not to study hard and not to leave any communication. Di Bajiao immediately told him that he had learned his mistake and said that he had joined the disciple of Xu Ziwei, the Minister of Jinwen, and would have more contacts with his fellow disciples.

For example, when queuing up for the apprentice, the former team Liu Jiao and Uncle Liu Wen, who treated him very kindly, looked like an honest person.

This scene made Jing Dan laugh at her side. She was obviously several years older than the fifth reunion, but why did she seem to be the Zong brother? But when she thought about it, she unknowingly treated the fifth reunion as a peer, and she didn't feel inconsistent at all.

"Maybe this is the teenager's erection."

At this moment, the door of the courtyard opened. Di Wufu drove the donkey cart back. After entering the courtyard, he ran over and shouted, "Mr. Lang, you have found the loess and charcoal you want!"

...
