Chapter VIII Guozijian
"Although it is not my intention to escape, it has nothing to do with me. If I don't find it back as soon as possible, I don't know how many innocent lives it will be destroyed. Alas, little brother, it seems that if you want to invite you to drink, you can only wait for the next time." Yan Chixia murmured to herself.
Zhang Luoye smiled and said, "It's not important to worry. Compared to your and my drinking, it's better to catch the evil ghost as soon as possible. I wonder what I can do, which is what I can do?"
"Of course, please see, little brother." Yan Chixia smiled slightly, took out something from her arms and handed it over.
"This is...!?" Zhang Luoye looked at the thing Yan Chixia handed over, and his face was full of curiosity.
The object was a yellow talisman and a small sword that was only as long as the index finger. The sword and the yellow talisman were tied with a red rope.
"This is the unique 'significant talisman' of the Heavenly Immortal School. The small sword is used to receive information, and the yellow sign can be used as a transformation and storage of sound information. Please pay more attention to the news about the evil ghost. I will also personally look for its whereabouts in the imperial city. If you have any news, you can use thissignificant talisman to notify me." After Yan Chixia said that, she briefly told Zhang Luoye about the use of thesignificant talisman.
Afterwards, he bowed and said, "It's urgent, just pray for it, take care of it." As soon as he blurted out the word "heavy", he saw his figure tremble gently and disappeared from the spot!
Zhang Luoye looked envious and withdrew his eyes. He summoned a carriage at the attachment and rushed to the Zhang Mansion. He reminded his servants to pay attention to the evil ghosts. If there was any news, he would immediately notify him. Then he got on the carriage and rushed to the direction of the Imperial College.
When he arrived at the Imperial College, the person in charge of the Imperial College had already asked the guards to pay attention to Zhang Luoye's news, so just as Zhang Luoye got off the carriage, he saw the person in charge running over happily.
The person in charge welcomed Zhang Luoye to the Imperial College and took advantage of this time to introduce the layout of the Imperial College to Zhang Luoye.
The Imperial College is a grand scale, extending ten miles, with lights shining brightly, and the grand occasion is unprecedented. The overall building faces north and south, with the central axis as the boundary, and is divided into east and west sides.
On the central axis, the first gate is "Jixian Gate", and there are well pavilions on both sides of the gate for rest; after passing Jixian Gate, the second gate is called "Taixue Gate", which has an elegant courtyard inside, which is also used for rest and reading.
After passing the Taixue School, there is a glass archway, which is made of glass. It is shining by the sun, like an agate stone, exuding charming colors, which is very beautiful. Moreover, the front and back of the glass archway are written by the imperial engravings of the late emperor. The front face is written as "Yuanqiao Jiaoze", and the shade face is "Xuehai Jieguan", and the color painting is gorgeous.
Passing through the glazed archway, you can see a huge circular pool in the middle. There is a square high platform on the pool. There is a square double-eaved and pointed palace built on the platform. The palace opens on all sides and has six steps. It is the central building of the Imperial College, "Piyong Bao Hall"! The Piyong Bao Hall is surrounded by a long corridor, and exquisite small bridges are set up on all sides to make the hall connect with the courtyard. This architectural shape symbolizes the sky and the earth.
The Biyong Bao Temple is not usually used, but is used as the dividing line between east and west buildings. Whenever the emperor has time, he will come here to give lectures. At that time, all the students from the Imperial College are surrounded by students, and the picture is very grand.
There are three halls built to the east of the Biyong Bao Hall, each hall has 10 rooms. These three halls are "Lexing Hall", "Chengxin Hall" and "Chongzhi Hall". They are students' learning classrooms composed of children of nobles.
On the west side of the Piyong Bao Hall, there is the same layout as the east side. The three halls are called "Shengdao Hall", "Zhengyi Hall" and "Guangye Hall", which are classrooms for tribute students to study.
There is a huge hall called "Yilun Hall" in the Imperial College, where both tribute students and supervisors can read books freely.
And the "Yilun Hall" has a huge courtyard built on a lotus pond, called "Jingyiyuan". It is usually used as a place for tribute students and supervisors to eat, and during major festivals or Imperial College activities, it will be used as a tribute office.
In the "Yilun Hall", it is the last stone tablet carving corridor. There are 190 stone tablets engraved with ancient saints' works, words, human experience, etc., which are the place for pilgrimage for students of the Imperial College. No matter who wants to go to the stone tablet carving corridor, you have to take a bath and change your clothes and worship sincerely.
In addition, Zhang Luoye learned from the person in charge that Imperial College has only seven disciplines, namely "Imperial College", "Taixue", "Guangwen", "Four Scholars", "Laws", "Calligraphy" and "Mathematics".
"National School" takes the Four Books and Five Classics as the main teaching, and teaches it in the way of dividing the classics and treatises, seeking to talk about the incisiveness of the Four Books and Five Classics from all aspects.
"Taixue" mainly teaches Confucianism, discusses being a person, setting ambition, acting, etc.
"Guang Literature" mainly teaches astronomy and geography, and covers a wide range of areas. Teachers only give general directions and insights.
The "Four Sects" is based on Confucian etiquette as the main lecture, and it is explained from four aspects: starting, living, speaking, and deeds, especially in respecting teachers and respecting the Tao.
"Laws" is based on the "Laws and Regulations" of the Tang Dynasty's legal principles as the main lecture. The teachers are all high-speaking students from Dali Temple.
"Calligraphy" tells the story of the four elements of literati, chess, calligraphy and painting, and seeks that while students learn to learn chess, calligraphy and painting, their minds are as clear as mirrors and understand the principles of being a human being.
"Arithmetics" mainly teaches Nine chapters of arithmetic, big abacus classics, and astronomical examples. However, although it is one of the seven disciplines, it is just a brief explanation in the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce.
As a student in the supervisor, Zhang Luoye was assigned to the eighth classroom of Chongzhi Hall. The person in charge also told Zhang Luoye about something. He (the person in charge) was actually the prime minister of the Ministry of Rites who was stationed in the Imperial College. In the distribution of positions of the Imperial College, there was one person with a "Jijiu" (from the third rank) and two "Siye" (from the fourth rank). These three people were in charge of the Seventh School Chief. He told Zhang Luoye that if something urgent happened and he happened to be not in the Imperial College, Zhang Luoye could go and find these three people.
…………….
In the afternoon, the eighth classroom of Chongzhitang
The first class in the afternoon was Taixue. The teacher of Taixue entered the classroom with a book in his hand, glanced at everyone below with a cautious look on his face, and said respectfully: "Stand up."
The students in the classroom stood up, performed a Confucian ritual, and shouted lazily: "Good afternoon, teacher."
After all, if it were not for their parents' orders, who would have thought of studying in the Imperial College? They were not poor scholars, and could only turn over the imperial examinations. Their future was already destined. They either had hereditary father or had the help of their parents to obtain a single official position, so they had no interest in studying or studying.
The teacher shouted, "Sit down." and secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. None of the students below could offend him. Not to mention beating, even if he was a slight tone was wrong, it might be a huge disaster. Therefore, he has always been cautious, but this kind of pressure is really great. If it weren't for the high salary of this job, he would have stopped doing it long ago.
"Well, before the lecture, I will introduce you to a new student, Your Highness Luoye, come in." The teacher shouted outside the door.
When he heard the word "The Prince of the Falling Leaf", there was a smart person who suddenly guessed the new identity and was talking in a low voice.
Zhang Luoye stepped into the classroom and glanced at everyone below. The students below suddenly became furious. Unexpectedly, this new student was really Marshal Zhang's grandson, Zhang Luoye!
"Hey, Luoye is here." Zhang Luoye looked in the voice, feeling speechless. The person who called was nothing but someone else, but the nineteenth prince Tang Yuli!
Next to Yuli in the Tang Dynasty, a young man with a gentle face also smiled. Zhang Luoye is familiar with this young man. His name is "Sun Zijian" and is the only son of Sun Chuanting, the Minister of War.
Sun Chuanting, the Minister of War, was promoted and reused by Marshal Zhang as a small soldier in the past. Later, as Marshal Zhang expected, his reputation of bravery spread throughout the three armies and was known as Marshal Zhang's heir.
Zhang Luoye and Sun Zijian met each other and recognized each other's brothers.
Next to Sun Zijian, Tang Yuli sat down shortly after, Zhang Luoye felt a hostile look on his right hand and couldn't help but take a look.
There were a few people sitting there, none of whom were strangers. One was the son of the prime minister Liu Bocheng, "Liu Mingliang", and the other few were not simple. They were the son of the Minister of Personnel, the son of the Minister of Revenue, and the son of the Minister of Works.
Prime Minister Liu Bocheng has always been in a quarrel with Marshal Zhang, and is on the same front as the Minister of Personnel, Minister of Revenue, and Minister of Works. The Minister of War, Minister of Rites, and Minister of Justice stands on Marshal Zhang's side.
Sun Zijian also glanced over there and laughed and scolded: "Hmph, a bunch of idiots."
Zhang Luoye Wanran, Tang Yuli, who was standing by, said nothing. As a prince, the correct way is to make friends with both sides.
Sun Zijian pushed Zhang Luoye and asked again: "We are forced to study at the Imperial College by our parents. Luoye, why did you come here too? In theory, Marshal Zhang would not force you."
Zhang Luoye smiled and said, "I applied to come in because I wanted to study. Is it strange?"
"It's so strange!" Sun Zijian flattened his mouth exaggeratedly: "You are the grandson of Marshal Zhang, how could you have the idea of a weak scholar in studying? Could it be that your brain is burnt out?"
Zhang Luoye laughed and scolded: "Your brain is burnt out! Reading can cultivate a person's temperament and make people smarter and more down-to-earth. What's wrong with it?"
Sun Zijian complained: "Ah, stop talking, don't talk anymore. Oh my god, why did you become like my father? He just said that I could read more books all day long, and that I could not only win battles with physical strength."
Zhang Luoye smiled and said, "Uncle is right, Brother Sun, aren't you aiming for your father? Without solid knowledge, what will you do in the future?"
In this way, Zhang Luoye began his study career in the Imperial College. He was talented and had a solid foundation when he studied with Nie Xiaoqian. In just a short period of time, he passed the first place in several assessments, which shocked the entire Imperial College. Even the teachers looked at him differently. After all, everyone knew what kind of student was. Zhang Luoye was an alien among them.
In addition, Zhang Luoye was weak and less than ten years old, so he was immediately called the "No. 1 Prodigy" by the perverted.
Sun Zijian and Tang Yuli were a little stunned, especially Sun Zijian, who was at the bottom of every exam, which was really hard to accept. It seems that what Zhang Luoye said about studying at the Imperial College was not a lie.
When Zhang Luoye was in her free time, in addition to being pulled by Tang Yuli or Sun Zijian to have wine, he would stay in Yilun Hall most of the time. The number of books in Yilun Hall is the largest in the country. He can find many ancient books that have been lost here.
However, what he cares most about is the Taoist books. His two skills, "One Clinic Art, the Essence of Taoist and the Three Days of Dharma", have too many difficult points to solve. It is necessary to check a large number of Taoist books before it can be possible to solve the doubts.
There are quite a few Taoist books in Yilun Hall, with hundreds of them, which are wide-ranging and quite difficult. Thanks to Zhang Luoye's knowledge base, he did not even understand a book.
On this day, when Zhang Luoye was reading a Taoist book in Yilun Hall, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Your Highness, are you reading Taoist books again?"
Zhang Luoye was just watching it, but he was startled by the sound, but without looking back, he also knew who the owner of the sound was.
This is an old man with wrinkles on his face. He wore a yellowed green long coat all day and was dubbed by the students as the "monster old man". However, this monster old man is a book organizer of the Yilun Hall of the Imperial College. He wandered in the hall all day long, floating around like a ghost, which scared some students so much that they did not dare to step into the gate of the Yilun Hall.
When Zhang Luoye went to Yilun Hall to look for books on the first day, he noticed the old monster. I wonder if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the old monster's eyes were staring at him.
"Yes...yes." Zhang Luoye pulled out a reluctant smile, and the old monster brought the face that looked like an old tree bark, which made him feel nauseous.
The old monster suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "But your Highness, the Taoist books hidden in Yilun Hall are just some secular books for strengthening the body. No matter how many you read, it is useless, isn't it?"
Zhang Luoye's heart was thrilled when he heard this. The monster's old man said it was like he had real Taoist books.
Zhang Luoye couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Old Gun, do you have real Taoist books?"
The old monster showed a grin that was even worse than crying: "Who knows, maybe there is, or maybe there isn't."
Zhang Luoye was full of doubts when he heard this, and if there is, there is nothing. What does it mean to be ‘maybe there, or maybe there is nothing’?
"Can you explain it more clearly?" Zhang Luoye asked anxiously.
The old monster once again showed a uglier smile than crying: "That's right. If you are interested, you may come here to find me at this time tomorrow, and there may be... right?"
