Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 98 People from the academy outside the city

In the situation where all parties are moving inside and outside Pengcheng, various changes are brewing, and the time has finally come for Guijing to be screened.

Early in the morning, people were coming and going inside and outside Guijing Academy, located on the outskirts of the city.

"The troubled times of the Three Kingdoms made private schools flourish greatly. Guijing Academy was also a member of this wave of private schools. After this screening, the day of offering sacrifices to the stove has passed, and then the New Year's Eve is coming. They are all peaceful days, so you can feel at ease. Reading is the way to learn.”

Chen Zhi and Chen Wu got off the Chen family's oxcart and looked at the academy in front of them. They couldn't help but sigh. Before coming, he also learned some information about the academy from the Chen family's channels.

Guijing Academy, said to be an academy, is actually no different from a small village. It is not far from Chenzhuang, the clan residence of the Chen family outside the city. The Chen family has several houses in the county, but for such a huge family, collateral lines There are so many that there are villages outside the city.

The same goes for Guijing Academy. The headmaster of the academy is a landowner himself, with many land deeds in his name, continuous farmland, and a lot of income. Only then can he have the financial resources to support the operation of the academy and allow the students there to study full-time.

Moreover, Guijing Academy has a great reputation. In addition to some qualified disciples from poor families who come to study on their own initiative, there are also aristocratic families from outside the city and surrounding counties who send their own children to study.

In Pengcheng County alone, there are more than 30 children from aristocratic families studying at Guijing Academy. For example, Peng Lin and Peng Qi of the Peng family once studied here and were famous figures in the academy back then.

However, Guijing Academy is well-known in the entire Xuzhou area, and it is not just a matter of sending people here. There are also certain assessments and considerations, so the number of Chen family disciples in this academy is very few.

Chen Zhi and Chen Wu walked straight into the academy and looked at the verandas of the houses along the way. Many teenagers and young people were discussing Taoism and reading books, filled with the atmosphere of youth and scholarship.

"The atmosphere of this private school is really good. Judging from the clothes, there are many students from poor families. This is also one of the ways for them to obtain knowledge. Unfortunately, I died too early in my previous life, otherwise based on the examinations I promoted in the military The law, imperceptibly, can also prepare for the imperial examination in advance, but in the end there is no time to implement it.”

Chen Zhi felt regretful in his heart, but in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the aristocratic family had grown up, and the social environment was there, even if he really lived a long life, he might not be able to achieve it. He also considered this in his heart.

The trend of private learning has gradually emerged since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Bu Zhi, Wei Xi, Xiang Lang, etc. are all representative figures. It has developed to the present day. With the rise of metaphysics, Confucianism out of control, and the resurgence of hundreds of schools of thought, various theories have eroded the influence of various schools of thought in various places. Private schools are gradually emerging. Guijing Academy is mainly Legalist, but it also uses the banner of Confucianism, but it is somewhat respectful to metaphysics.

Chen Zhi thought as he walked inside.

People along the way knew that he was a member of aristocratic families when they saw him dressed in fine clothes. Most of the strange faces that appeared here today came to participate in the screening, so no one was surprised. At most, they just took one look and did it themselves. It's over.

Soon a young man in Tsing Yi came over and asked Chen Zhi why he was here. When he learned that he was here to participate in the screening, he asked him to show his name card.

The Chen family had already arranged these things. As soon as Chen Zhi showed his name, the servant respectfully led the way towards the academy. But halfway through, he suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Wu. He said apologetically: "So that Master Chen can know that only you can enter this screening, and the servants have to wait outside." After saying that, he gave Chen Wu an apologetic look.

"After all, he is a boy trained by the academy. No one will blame him for his behavior." Chen Zhi did not object to this rule, so he explained a few words to Chen Wu, and he followed the boy all the way, and soon We came to an independent courtyard.

This courtyard occupies a large area and is located in the middle and back of the academy village. In addition to houses, there are rockeries and pavilions in the courtyard. However, it can be seen that they have been damaged. It should be the traces left by the military disaster a few years ago. On the rockery On one side, there is an open room with rows of seats and low tables. At a glance, there are more than 30 tables. You can tell without asking that this is the place for screening and assessment.

Chen Zhi was not the first to come. When he arrived, more than a dozen people had gathered here, forming small groups in twos and threes to talk. He also saw Liu Gang among them.

When the Liu family saw Chen Zhi coming, he looked happy and wanted to come over to talk, but someone was faster than him.

"Seventh Brother, you are finally here. I wanted to go find you in the morning, but my father said not to disturb your thoughts, so I came here with Sixth Brother first."

The person who greeted Chen Zhi was Chen Xuan, the tenth eldest son of his generation. He was originally quite close to Chen Yun, but they immediately drew a clear line after Chen Yun lost power. His father was Chen Yuan, the sixth master of the Chen family.

Next to Chen Xuan was a young man with a beard and a steady expression. This man's name was Chen Shu, who ranked sixth in Chen Zhi's generation. He was Chen Luo's brother and the eldest son of Chen Wuye Chen Xun. The Chen family already has some prestige.

When the two of them called out, everyone around them also paid attention. Their eyes full of scrutiny fell on Chen Zhi, looking up and down, and most of them showed surprise and confusion.

"Chen Zhi is indeed a little different from the past."

"It must be different. I knew it from the last time I attended the Zhang Mansion dinner."

"Did you hear about the Bai family case yesterday? That poem about quitting gambling has begun to circulate."

"The white tiger was defeated in his hands, tsk tsk, it's incredible."

"I don't know if this person's knowledge can be as good as his methods, but his knowledge is no better than others, and he must study hard."...

Such conversations resounded everywhere in the yard, and Chen Zhi, who was in the middle of the vortex of topics, talked with his two cousins ​​as usual. After a while, Liu Gang finally seized the gap and interjected.

The behavior of this outstanding son of the Liu family made many disciples of the aristocratic family who were waiting and watching puzzled.

"It seems that Liu Gang has a good relationship with Chen Zhi."

"Have Liu Miao and the others already accepted Chen Zhi?"

"I don't think so. Liu Miao only said hello at the beginning, but now she has no intention of going over to chat."

Children of aristocratic families are most sensitive to changes in the trend of the circle. Affected by the social atmosphere and the nine-grade system, they attach great importance to status. Therefore, they will not easily express their attitude without understanding the situation to avoid lowering their style.

This group of people is actually divided into superiors and inferiors. For example, the two brothers of the Liu family and the Peng family are at the top of the small circle and represent the trend of the younger generation in Pengcheng. Many people will use them as the standard when doing things. Among them, Peng Lin and Liu Miao, the two oldest ones, are the leaders.

Now, Liu Gang went over to greet Chen Zhi, but Liu Miao did not go there, which inevitably made people think about the deeper meaning, but they did not know that Liu Miao was unsure at this time.

"If I talk to Chen Zhi in the past, will he pay attention to me? After all, I have no friendship with him before. With his ability to chat and laugh with many celebrities, he may not care about me. If I am ignored by him in the past, let others I saw it, it will undoubtedly damage my reputation, but my brother is close to Chen Zhi, and he might have been treated politely by him in the past..."

He thought about it over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt regretful.

"If I had known this, when my grandfather told us to befriend Chen Zhi, we should have followed the order, and we wouldn't have had so many worries." Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Gang who was smiling and talking to Chen Zhi, and couldn't help but feel envious.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, and then many students from Guijing Academy were heard saying hello to someone.

"Senior Brother Peng, you are here."

"Brother Peng, long time no see, you still look good."

"Brother Peng, needless to say, you will definitely shine again in this screening, haha."

The voice shouted, and without any need for words, the people in the courtyard knew who was coming.

Soon, a group of people were seen slowly approaching, surrounded by brothers Peng Lin and Peng Qi.

The two brothers of the Peng family were influential figures when they were students at Guijing Academy. After returning from their studies, they often came to discuss matters with their fellow disciples. They had a great influence in the academy and were admired and respected by others.

Seeing the power of the two of them, many people in the courtyard looked envious and eager to greet the Peng brothers.

When he arrived at the door, Peng Lin stopped, turned around, cupped his hands to everyone around him, and said with a smile: "My fellow disciples, it is better not to make such a big show of screening today. Peng thanked you here for your concern, and we can catch up with each other after the screening. "

"Sure, I'm just waiting for the good news from Brother Peng."

The crowd surrounding him dispersed amid laughter, and then the Peng brothers turned around and came in. All the children from the aristocratic families in the courtyard also went over to see him, and it was quite lively again.

"Everyone, you're polite." Peng Lin smiled and greeted everyone one by one. Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Zhi, showing a firm look.

"Today, let's differentiate ourselves based on our knowledge!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting: "The mountain chief and the examiner are coming out..."

As soon as the sound fell, seven or eight people came out of the houses in the courtyard.
