The Imperial College of the Eastern Han Empire has always been a hotbed for the growth of officials' children.

It takes civilian children aged fifty to have the opportunity to travel to the Imperial Academy, while the children of officials can study in the Imperial Academy when they are in their teens and 20s.

The Imperial College mainly faces the children of high-ranking officials, relatives of the royal family, and nobles.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taixue was still the most well-deserved institution of learning. However, as time passed, with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the huge power of local gentry, the quality of Taixue students also deteriorated.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, especially the Party and the Corruption Disaster, many of the children of the gentry would not enter the Imperial Academy. They did not care about the Imperial Academy because they basically had family education that was better and more elite than the Imperial Academy.

For them, the teachers of the Imperial Academy are not as good as their tribe, so naturally they will not go to the Imperial Academy.

After completing his studies, he will get married. Before he was twenty, he will go to Yuedan to ask for a review and give him a name. Then everyone will connect with each other to give him a filial and honest person, and then he can go to Luoyang to become an official and start his career.

Of course, it is not that no children of the gentry would enter the Imperial Academy to study, but that there are very few.

As for those high-ranking officials and nobles, they didn't want to study hard. Most of them just went to the spot and signed a sign to indicate that they had been there, and then "get over and leave after eating."

These four words are recorded in historical books to mock those Tai students in the late Han Dynasty and early Wei Dynasty, and are really vivid and vivid.

I got up at midnight, put on my clothes and finished washing, went to Taixue School to order Mao, and then waited for the free lunch. After lunch, I left and went to have fun.

The achievements earned by our ancestors through hard work provided them with such good learning conditions, but they only cultivated a group of wine bags.

It was a waste of the excellent setting and teaching conditions of the 14th Doctor in the Imperial Academy.

Guo Peng believes that the teaching conditions in the Imperial Academy are very good even if they are modern. Apart from the lack of modern equipment, there are really a lot of things that can be learned. The key is whether you want to learn it or not.

The freedom in the Imperial College is higher than that in today's universities, so it really tests personal will and character very much.

Of course, the powerful and noble children will be willing to fall into depravity, but the same opportunity will be given to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng will not waste it.

Not to mention the opportunity to study in Taixue, he never wasted his time before this.

He studied hard, worked hard to integrate what he learned and saw, and constantly improved himself. In order to enhance his survival ability, he worked hard to learn martial arts, and even learned the skills of riding horses and fighting on horseback with Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

Not to mention becoming a general with high martial arts skills, at least you must have certain self-protection ability.

Time passed slowly. In May, Guo Shan and Guo Peng learned about Cao Song working for him in the court.

The one who worshipped him as the Tongzilang was Zhao Jian of Shangshutai. The reason for worshiping him as the Tongzilang was that he was "proficient in Confucian classics and was pure filial piety."

It seems that Guo Peng's reputation as "pure filial piety" has been spread to Luoyang, and this wave of public relations operations was very successful.

Guo Peng was not sure about the specific content and process, but looking at Guo Shan’s excited expression, he knew that the price Cao Song paid for this matter was definitely not low.

With his actual status, he probably suffered a lot of blood in order to accomplish this.

Perhaps the efforts here may not be higher than that of Cao Cao's successful filial piety and honest performance, but they are definitely not low.

The major event was decided, Cao Song asked someone from Luoyang to send a letter to tell Guo Peng what to do next, and how to prepare some necessary things, some necessary daily necessities, and then there are test questions and spare answers to the court.

Guo Peng was indeed a little depressed when he looked at the questions and answers prepared to enter the Imperial Academy.

This is simply a cheating game.

Cao Song also said that as long as he brought some things he used to, he would buy everything left for Guo Peng in Luoyang.

Guo Peng had a separate room to live in when he entered the Imperial Academy, and he could bring some entourages, and others such as money were not required to carry them by himself.

I have money!

In the words, Guo Peng's journey to study in Luoyang was very meaningful that he would take over the journey to study in Luoyang, and the true nature of a local tyrant was fully visible.

Perhaps in front of Guo Peng, he felt that he had only money to take advantage of.

But this is good. Guo Dan himself was worried that it would be inconvenient for Guo Peng to take it with him. He was worried about the robbers on the way. With Cao Song's guarantee, Guo Dan felt relieved to prepare a box of about twenty kilograms of gold for Guo Peng to take it with him in case of emergency.

"Although your father-in-law is willing to bear all your expenses, Xiao Yi, a man is not allowed to go out without a box. You can keep these twenty kilograms of gold for emergencies, and everyone has time to need it from time to time."

Guo Dan warned Guo Peng in this way, preparing some things for him that he needed, even a few daggers and knives, a bow and some arrows.

"You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, so it is naturally useful to bring these things to you on the road. Cao will send someone to escort you to Luoyang. After you go to Luoyang, be careful in everything. Don't be outstanding after entering the Imperial Academy. Do not act in a low-key manner, study hard, and study carefully. Before you get the crown, try not to participate in external affairs."

Guo Dan did not forget to remind Guo Peng not to participate in some things that seemed very lively.

However, this makes sense. In ancient times, men had to get the words "Ship" after performing the crown ceremony, tie their hair and add their crowns, and then use the words "Ship" to participate in formal social activities.

Children of the gentry who have no hair tie and crown without a word for a face should not participate in social interactions. They cannot drink alcohol, and they will not take you to play.

In the past three years before the championship, Guo Peng needed to study hard and learn as much as possible in the Imperial Academy.

Guo Dan believes that with Guo Peng's talent, he can learn a lot, at least much better than the wine bags in the Imperial Academy.

After the news was delivered, Guo Peng was about to set off soon, and it took only half a month to prepare.

On the day Guo Peng set off, the Cao family sent thirty guards, plus three carriages, and packed many things for Guo Peng.

Guo Peng felt that he was not going to study in the Imperial Academy, but moving.

Cao Yin was the representative and told Guo Peng that the things that Guo Peng had instructed were more and more detailed than what Guo Dan told him. Those who didn't know thought he was his own father, but Guo Dan was not.

After Cao Yin finished speaking a lot, a group of Cao and Xiahou friends came over to send Guo Peng a farewell message.

"Brother, if there is a place in need in the future, even if you write, I will immediately rush to Luoyang as soon as you write. If someone bullies you in Luoyang, I will immediately take the whole family to support you!"

Cao Ren's face was full of fierceness, he clenched his fists, and declared his loyalty to Guo Peng.

"Support you!!"

Cao Chun is still a typical follower, so he knows how to repeat Cao Ren's words.

"Brother, I'll help you too!"

Cao Hong and Cao De also expressed their opinions, as if only one would express one's opinion was enough at this time.

Xiahou Yuan was even more awesome. He took out a knife and said, "Xiao Yi, don't worry, who dares to embarrass you, I will just slash it. The white knife goes into the red knife. If something happens, I will hold it! Don't worry!"

His face is full of courage and ruthlessness and looks like he doesn't take human life seriously, but it is the norm in this era.

The Han Dynasty, which was rampant with "heroes" who killed people with disagreement, seemed to be nothing, and it was always like this from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xiahou Dun was fourteen years old and killed someone because others insulted his teacher.

Guan Yu was forced to flee Youzhou because of murder in his hometown in Hedong, and he had the opportunity to get to know Liu Bei.

Xu Shu killed someone to help his friends revenge, and only after he was released from prison did he reform and started studying since then...

Looking back at the history from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, those who were well-known and even very good seemed to be killing people.

If you die, you will die, if you kill, you will be killed, you will be killed for your friends, for your loyalty, or even for your murderer, and then there will be other friends to help you.

Walking in the world seems to rely entirely on loyalty, without laws or rules in your eyes.

Perhaps it is because the era of great revenge has not passed too long, and the era of heroism is still retained in people's memories. This is the social atmosphere at this time.

In the eyes of murderers, killing people seems to be an easy thing, and killing people for loyalty is almost politically correct.

Modern people cannot imagine the attitude of people towards murder at that time.

There are millions of reasons for killing people, and there is no consideration of consequences at all. The enforcement of the law is also a problem. The escape of a murderer is an easy task and often it is left alone.

Under such an environment, Guo Peng has been influenced by the eyes since childhood and has been subtly influenced by the fact that he not only practices martial arts, but also has some habit of being brave and fierce.

Guo Peng not only possesses martial arts, but also dares to fight with others, uses swords and guns, and his prestige among the Cao Xiahou family's younger generation was not just earned by kicking Xu Shao's butt.

That is indeed part of the reason, but when he was young, Guo Peng often brought the clan children of the Cao and Xiahou clans and some other clan children to fight together, and the things established by the fact that they were not completely useless.

For the sake of reputation, it is not a strange thing to meet others and not give up until they fight to the death.

After saying goodbye to a group of friends, we agreed to write a letter to come back and tell them some interesting things after Guo Peng arrived in Luoyang, and buy some fresh things and send them back. Then everyone bid farewell to him.

Because the friends were reluctant to leave, they sent each other several miles away, even further than Guo Dan's gift. They could not see Qiao County. After Guo Peng's persuasion, they returned home in a loss.

After they returned, Guo Peng took five personal guards, including Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, and thirty Cao's guards, and they were truly on the way forward, but after walking a few steps, they stopped again.

A carriage decorated with gorgeous decorations was parked on the side of the road in front, and an old servant walked over slowly.

This is an old servant of the Cao family, and Guo Peng recognizes it.

"Dalang, please stay a little bit, someone wants to see you."

The old servant gave Guo Peng a very ambiguous look. Guo Peng frowned and immediately understood what this look meant.

"You go forward slowly first, and I will catch up soon."
