14. The Order of the Son of Heaven
As a result, before I could ask, Liu De's room hurriedly walked out of the next door of the Imperial College, "Brother, you are finally back." Then he grabbed Gao Yue's hand very affectionately and said to go in quickly, otherwise it would be too late.
The second puzzle suddenly filled Gao Yue's heart.
But it was unlocked soon:
Just after Liu De's room came out, countless young men in white clothes suddenly appeared on the streets of Wubenfang, as well as servants and chariots carrying luggage in front of them, pushing carts, carrying carriages, and carrying carriages. They gathered into a huge and unstoppable torrent, clamoring and rushing towards the Imperial College.
"What are you doing!" Gao Yue was also shocked and hurriedly carried the luggage in the car with several Miaokes and stepped onto the steps outside the wall of the Imperial College.
"They all came to the Imperial College to occupy the house!" Liu De's room led Gao Yue under the courtyard wall beside the door, stopped him, and told him not to go in now, and whispered, "My brother, don't act rashly for the time being."
Before Gao Yue could find out, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the Imperial College wall, as if it was a trumpet of battle. Then the vermilion-red front door was pushed open, "Take off this group of miscellaneous people who came to take away our house and kitchen!" With such a roar, countless students wearing deep clothes surrounded Qingjin, holding their legs, hoes, and rakes, gushing out from the main door.
Several escorts who were guarding the door were still ready to block them, but they were immediately rushed out of the Imperial College, Tai Student, and four students rushed out of the way and rolled down the steps.
Gao Yue, Liu Deshi, Su Wunu and others were so scared that they were close to the wall of the next door. They looked at the students of the Imperial College who rushed out of the door and the men who were rushing in outside the street. On one side was a dark blue craze and a white mahogany sea of anger, intertwined, pushing and squeaking, and even sticks and farm tools were playing together, and they were in full swing.
"This group of people are all taking the exam, why did they fight?" Gao Yue was surprised. When he was in college, he had just got off the high-speed rail and was enthusiastic seniors coming to welcome the new year, helping you carry your luggage and arrange your dormitory. Unexpectedly, the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty, as the highest gentle place in the country, the students actually fought publicly?
Before they could ask, Liu De's room was hurriedly pulled in. While the two sides were fighting, they walked through the next door and walked into the wall of the Imperial College without any obstacles.
"Don't worry about them, Brother Yu has occupied a good room at the Taixue Pavilion. Go down your luggage first. There are only seventy people there. If you go too late, it will be too late." Liu Deshi said as he walked.
After Gao Yue walked into the wall of the Imperial College, he wanted to see what the highest academic institution of the Tang Dynasty looked like. But he didn't know it. He looked like a basin of ice water, pouring him from his head to his feet, and the cold air of disappointment was seeped into his bones:
Just when I entered the door, I was next to the wall. There was a palace with rich doors. The door was deep, round outside and square inside, and there were canals on all sides, connected to the outside by a stone bridge. The plaque read "Lu Shengren Palace" and should be the place to worship Confucius. However, the pillars, doors and window lattices looked very mottled, and they looked completely disrepaired;
After walking dozens of steps west, I saw several bachelors looking like hurriedly rushing outside, "This is the doctor of the magistrate and the supervisor, who went out to stop the fight."
Then they came to a high-gate lobby located in the center. There were caravans in front and behind the lobby. Liu Deshi introduced that "This is the hall of the temple."
When they passed through the so-called theories, Gao Yue almost slipped. At this time, they saw that the floor under their feet was covered with moss! The hall was empty and unsettled. Apart from the gray plain screens, the corner was filled with cold and musty smell. Gao Yue looked up as he walked, and the beams were covered with spider webs.
After passing the Representative Hall, four smaller halls were standing in front of him, namely the Guozi, Guangwen, Taixue, and four gates and four museums. Each of them had buildings behind them, all of which were dilapidated. It must be what Liu Deshi called "give a house" and what Gao Yue originally said in his time.
The Taixue Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of the entire Wubenfang, and you can see the door of the imperial city through the wall to the north.
"Ahhhhh!" When he ran towards the Taixue Pavilion, Gao Yue suddenly realized that he was following the earth ridge: on both sides of the earth ridge, there were vegetable gardens...
Vegetable garden! Vegetable garden!
The Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty, the highest institution of learning in the entire empire, the Lusheng Palace, the thesis hall and the courtyards between the museums were all planted in vegetable gardens!
Gao Yue was running, tears were almost flowing out. He didn't have to ask Su Wunu why he said that just now. Only then did he understand what "the prosperity is no longer". The Imperial College in the past should have been very magnificent and gorgeous, but now it has become a vegetable production base, and it looks deserted.
Liu De's room was in the Taixue Pavilion. The room he found was in the second floor of the B-shaped room, and Liu was in the D-shaped room. The second room did not rely on the stairs to avoid noise. When you opened the window, you could see Xingdaofang further west. And the west of Xingdaofang is Zhuque Street that runs across the entire Chang'an City.
In the room with a character C, Gao Yue put down his luggage with a blank expression. The so-called gift room must be consistent with the overall environment of the Imperial College. It is a room with a length and width of three or five steps. The shabby room - Gao Yue almost pushed the entire window away as soon as he pushed the window, and then the dust fell down. In the whole room, there was a bed, a wardrobe with a door falling off, and a few mats were spread on the ground.
But Liu Deshi looked very happy and helped, and also introduced, "There is a kitchen in the museum every day, so you can eat below. If you have a letter from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, you can live here to have a refresher class. Don't walk around before the spring exam. You should give the doctor of the magistrate, otherwise it will be difficult to come here again if you fail."
At this time, Gao Yue nodded. He finally understood that the Imperial College must have lost most of its institutional functions since the Anshi Rebellion. However, Dou Shen and Yuan Ji Neng seemed to have said before that the Imperial College was not completely abandoned by the court: Emperor Daizong seemed to have asked all officials to pay even the salary, so that the Imperial College can have "chefs" and "houses" in each of the Imperial College, that is, students can have free food and accommodation during the exam.
So it is not difficult to understand the fight in front of the gate just now: the candidates sent by various prefectures and counties took the document and thought of going to the Imperial College to enjoy "gifts" and "gifts"; and the students of the Imperial College who originally lived here were unwilling to give up free food and accommodation, so of course they wanted to stay here until the exam passed. The staffing of the Imperial College's various museums was very limited, and in order to compete for these resources, irreverent fights and insults were certainly inevitable.
At this moment, Gao Yue suddenly remembered something. He stared at him and asked Liu Deshi, "Brother Fangzhai, you... have you... been in this Imperial College?"
Liu Deshi suddenly felt a little ashamed and said that it had been more than ten years, and hey, it was unbearable to mention it.
"and you?"
Liu Deshi understood what Gao Yue wanted to ask, so he whispered to Gao Yue, "Dr. Su here has pity for me. Every time he fails, he asks me to complete the re-issue procedures, so he can continue to stay in the Imperial Academy."
"Then the age of your re-registration?"
"Twenty-two years old."
