Father can be an enemy to the country

Nanjing Guozixue is located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty. Its predecessor was the Confucius Temple.

In the third year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, according to Wang Dao's proposal, the Imperial Academy was established on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. At that time, there was only a school palace and no Confucius temple was built.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Confucius Temple was established in front of the Academy to show the way of following the sages and sages, and the Confucius Temple came from this. After several generations, it has been the highest institution of learning in Jiangnan.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he decreed to build schools, recruit Confucian teachers, recruit apprentices, preach morals and morals, and restore the legacy of the previous kings, and then upgraded it to the highest academic institution in the country - Guozixue.

The students of Guozixue are mainly tribute students.

In this era when one can directly become an official after graduating from the Guozi School, the supervisory students are all outstanding students strictly selected from the provincial, prefecture and county schools. But there is no one like Mr. Zhao who failed to pass the exam and ended up hanging around in prison.

The academic system of Guozixue is four years, and a new batch of Gongsheng students will be admitted every March.

On this day, it was the day for new students to enter school again. Gongsheng students from all over the world came to the Confucius Temple happily, greeted by their families and servants.

There were still two miles away from the Confucius Temple, and the streets began to be blocked. The carriages and horses are all coming to send their own children to school, and they are jammed into a pot of porridge. Can't get in, can't get out.

The new students had no choice but to get off their carriages and horses in advance and walk towards the tall archway in the distance. The bookboys and servants followed behind with their luggage, and some even followed a large family, walking through the market in a triumphant manner.

That style is like being a Jinshi in later generations. However, the imperial students of this era are indeed similar to scholars...

Lao Liu was also among the crowd heading towards Guozi, and his fourth brother came to see him off.

After entering, you must study hard and don't embarrass our family. Zhu Di educated him seriously.

What do you mean after going in? Lao Liu rolled his eyes. Besides, our family's reputation in this regard has been completely humiliated by you and your second brother. Is it my turn to lose it?

Haha, one code equals another. Lao Si chuckled and said, What we are losing is our big book... the face over there, the Guozixue side, you have to do it.

I knew you didn't have good intentions. Lao Liu said depressedly, Do you think the old man is deliberately trying to trick me?

You just realized that? Lao Si smiled and said, Who told you to insist on being the leader of the Beggar Clan? The old man couldn't help but let you go to the Guozi School to be elegant and elegant. Isn't it reasonable?

Fuck... Lao Liu just wanted to throw his mother away, but it seemed that for the sake of his grandma, he might as well forget it.

Oh, don't be downcast. The fourth child hugged his arm and whispered:

I'm kidding you. The old man loves and protects you, do you understand? It's time for you to take a break after I've made you carry heavy burdens for two years. You can't always catch a sheep with its hair shaved off. What will happen if it becomes bald?

Oh, I know. Lao Liu nodded. The master said the same thing when he went to Uncle Chengyi's house the day before yesterday. The emperor's father arranged for him to go to school in the Imperial Academy at this time, in fact, to avoid the fierce battle that would follow. Save yourself the blood...

In fact, he himself knew that with the old thieves' behavior of treating people like animals, it was very rare to be able to give him this kind of arrangement.

In Liu Bowen's words, He can consider your reputation, which means that for him, you are second only to the prince. ’

So what if it splashes all over me? I have to bear it with my fourth brother. Lao Liu said in a dull voice.

You can get in regardless of whether you are guilty or not. The fourth child said in a low voice: Look at the current situation of the third brother, it is caused by the Kongyin case. I estimate that the cause and effect that fell on me is only bigger than the Kongyin case. When the time comes, I will slap my butt and banish you, and you will still have to hang out in Beijing. Is there any way to survive that day?

Zhu Zhen glanced at his fourth brother in surprise, not expecting him to see it so clearly.

Hehe, this is what your sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law told me. The fourth child said proudly: So, the sixth child, don't think so much, we can just do whatever the old man arranges.

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: Besides, don't you still have two days off every month? Just help me come up with ideas when you come out.

I only have two days off in a month. I have to go back to see my parents and go on dates. How can I have time... Lao Liu muttered.

Why don't you have a date at my house without delay? The fourth child gave him an idea.

That's so boring. Lao Liu curled his lips, not to mention it wouldn't be appropriate for him to take Liu Li to Prince Yan's Mansion.

But it’s quite exciting to think about it…

~~

While the two brothers were talking, they came to Jixian Gate, the gate of Guozixue.

At this point, all family members and servants can no longer be sent away. Because according to school regulations, only freshmen can enter with admission procedures, and all family members and servants are prohibited from entering Guozixue.

Zhu Zhen took his luggage from Wang Ma, waved to Fourth Brother and his group, and joined the new students.

He was tall and looked forward unobstructed. He saw several large umbrellas in front of him and several long tables under the umbrellas. There were low-level officials checking the identities of the new students.

There were also some Guozi students wearing Confucian scarves, blue round-collared robes, and green silk ribbons, assisting officials to maintain order and bring new students into school according to their classes.

Lao Liu seemed to be back when he was reporting to college, but the atmosphere now was much more serious than then.

The senior students kept reminding the newcomers that they were strictly prohibited from making any noise. But these are young people who have just jumped over the dragon gate. How can they suppress their excitement?

So there were still people talking quietly and greeting each other, not too loudly. What Zhu Zhen thought was a normal thing, however, caused the fourth-grade big brothers to express cold eyebrows. They took the person who spoke directly out of the team and brought him in without knowing how to punish him.

The rest of the people waited in silence, and the long queue was silent. Only when the Guozixue officials asked questions, the freshmen who were asked dared to answer.

What a Spartan place... Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh to himself. Fortunately, arrangements had been made, otherwise he, the prince, would have to capsize in the sewer here.

After an unknown amount of time, it was finally his turn to step forward, and Lao Liu quickly handed over the prepared documents.

The Guozixue official opened the seal, took out the gift card with a bright red seal inside and read:

Hong Qi is from the Nanchang Weijun household in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and was selected by the Nanchang Wei School in Jiangxi Province.

... Zhu Zhen was speechless when he heard this. In fact, his original pseudonym had always been Hong E, and Hong Qi was his name in the Beggar Clan.

The old man does not use the former but the latter, which means at least two things. First, he knew every move he made; second, it showed that the fourth brother's guess was correct. He got this experience as the leader of the Beggar Clan. The old man is ashamed and doesn't want to mention the matter of asking for food...

It seems that his dream of becoming the leader of the national beggar gang can only be crossed off his bucket list.

Otherwise, if the old man can send himself to school this time, he won’t know where to send him next time...
