The senior of the Imperial Academy read Cao Su's name.
Cao Su came out of the queue, and his tall and strong body made the seniors take a second look.
"General Zhaowu, Captain of the Forbidden Army, Hundred Households of the Guards Department..." He mentioned Cao Su's position, and the students below him were shocked.
This person turned out to be a fifth-grade imperial general...
Among the warriors who came to study, some had not yet joined the army, and some had already served in the army, but those with such a high position and level as Cao Su were relatively rare.
It must be understood that the Imperial College’s wine offering is only from the fourth rank.
There are also doctors of the Five Classics, teaching assistants, xuezheng and other officials, whose ranks are not as high as those of Cao Su.
However, no matter how high Cao Su's rank is, now that he has entered the Imperial College, he has the status of a new student.
After completing the formalities, a servant soon led him away.
There are a large number of rooms in the Imperial College, and Cao Su was also assigned to a separate room.
The house is quite sparse, with nothing else except a bed and a table.
This area is used for students to take a break.
Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"But Cao Zhaowu?"
Cao Su heard the sound and walked out of the house and saw the young man among the students who had introduced the dojo to him.
This young man had a well-proportioned figure and good features. After seeing Cao Su, he introduced himself: "I met Cao Zhaowu in Xiashagai. He is a person from Fufeng in Yuzhou."
From Fufeng City?
Cao Su was startled, he was familiar with this place.
"Brother Sha."
Cao Su nodded and smiled, as if he had seen this person before.
"Cao Zhaowu, I live next door to you. If I need you for anything in the future, it's okay to say so."
Sha Gai was very polite and showed his friendly attitude when he came up.
Naturally, Cao Su greeted him with a smile: "We are in the same term, so there is no need to see anyone outside."
Sha Gai immediately showed joy, took the initiative to approach Cao Su and said, "Brother Cao is still on duty in the Arch Guard Department?"
"Yes, I am a member of the Imperial Guard Bureau, and my training time in the Imperial College will not be too long."
The two of them walked out of the door together, and Cao Su was going to visit the Wuyuan Dojo first. This was the place he was most interested in.
After Sha Gai heard about it, he went with Cao Su and began to introduce the situation he knew to Cao Su along the way.
"Like the training dojo, it is now divided into three great dojos, namely sword, gun, and boxing. You can choose to enter a certain dojo to practice according to your own circumstances."
"But as a new member of the Imperial Academy, I only have one day's quota for practice. If I want to practice again, I have to pay more."
Cao Su asked: "How much?"
"The charging standards of the three major monasteries are different. The major monastery is also divided into small monasteries. The prices of different training places are also different. I heard that the cheapest training house on the outside costs one thousand silver taels a day."
So expensive?
Cao Su originally thought that he might be considered rich, but if he calculated it this way, how could he spend the little money he had.
It's better to complete a few more tasks and go to Yinfeng Cave to practice.
While the two were talking, they arrived at the Wuyuan Dojo.
The Wuyuan Dojo is very large, with a main hall in the middle.
Sha Gai said that this hall is the place for cultivation, and there will be teaching assistants sitting there. If you don’t understand anything about cultivation, you can ask the teaching assistants for advice anytime and anywhere.
The entire high hall is simple in style. After entering the hall, you will see three passages.
Someone was stationed in front of the passage and stopped the two people who came to watch.
"Brother Cao, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Sha Gai was a little hesitant. He only had one day to practice and he hadn't reached the key point yet, so it seemed uneconomical to rush in to practice.
Cao Su shook his head and rejected his proposal: "No, there are still important matters in the army today."
Sha Gai breathed a sigh of relief. If Cao Su insisted on going in, he didn't know what to do.
"gone."
Cao Su turned around and prepared to leave the dojo.
At this time, he heard someone calling his name, and several young men in brocade clothes were approaching from a distance.
Sha Gai was shocked. Although he was from Fufeng, he had been hanging out in Shendu for a long time. He recognized at a glance that several young men in Jinyi were students of the Academy of Arts, and they were all the children of famous officials in Shendu.
"Cao Su?"
When the young man in brocade clothes at the head saw Cao Su, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
This man had red lips and white teeth, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and was quite handsome. However, Cao Su did not recognize this man and frowned slightly.
Sha Gai, who was beside Cao Su, took the initiative to greet him and said hello.
"I've seen Yanei."
Ya Nei is also the name of an official position, which is mostly held by the children of ministers.
In Shendu City, most of the yamen are officials serving the Yulin Army. The biggest difference between the Yulin Army and the Forbidden Army is that the Yulin Army is more responsible for guarding the palace.
Therefore, the position within the Yulin military office was very important, and he could be regarded as a close confidant of the emperor.
In other words, serving in the Yulin Army is equivalent to operating under the emperor's nose. When a minister puts his son in such a position, it can also be regarded as a disguised act of entrusting his wealth and life to the emperor, which is a sincere act.
Cao Su knew about the yamen, but he didn't know which yamen it was.
Seeing Cao Su's silence, the young man in Jinyi smiled lightly and said: "If Cao Zhaowu is free, you can come to our liberal arts college often. Someone will care about you very much."
Cao Su didn't understand, but he replied: "No problem."
The other party said that he should go when he is free. If he is never free, how can he go?
The young man in brocade clothes said these two words to Cao Su, and then roared away with the people around him. From the beginning to the end, he never looked directly at Sha Gai beside him.
Sha Gai was very embarrassed. After straightening up, he sighed.
"Which Yameni is this?"
Cao Su asked.
Sha Gai said quickly: "This is Rongsheng, the son of Taiwei Rong, in Rongyanei."
The prince's son!
Cao Su was shocked. The son of the Taiwei really belonged to a family of three nobles. He belonged to the top dandies in the city of God. Above that, there were princes and nobles, just like the Prince of Liang whom Cao Su met yesterday.
"The fourth and third generation of the Rong family are the most prominent family in this dynasty."
"Rongsheng is the eldest son of Lieutenant Rong. He is handsome and majestic. He was well-known when he was young."
Cao Su asked curiously: "Why do people from the liberal arts academy come to the martial arts academy?"
"Brother Cao doesn't know something. Rongyamen is not only a student from the liberal arts academy, but also a student from the martial arts academy, with both civil and military skills."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Being good at both civil and military skills is indeed the backdoor among backdoors.
"There are many students like him in the Imperial College. Studying in the liberal arts academy is basically free. We must not let the stench of copper contaminate the holy books. And everything in the martial arts academy costs money. We rely on the revenue of the martial arts academy.
, the Imperial College also pays a lot of taxes and fees to the national treasury every year, so it has always been valued by emperors of all generations."
Cao Su understood clearly that the Imperial College was not only an educational institution, but also a revenue-generating department.
No wonder the Imperial College recruits students simultaneously before autumn every year, because after a batch of graduates are lost, they need to be replenished.
Every martial arts student who comes in is rich and powerful, or has someone behind him and a lot of resources.
After Cao Su and Sha Gai chatted for a while, they left the Imperial Academy.
The admission matters for the Imperial College on the first day have been settled.
........
Tomorrow, in Qiu Wei, the residents of the entire Shendu City are discussing the Qiu Wei Examination.
Cao Su left the Imperial Academy and walked in the city of Shendu where the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
Outside Shanglinfang, Qiu Bai hurried over to meet him face to face.
"Cao Baihu, Qiuwei Poetry Examination tomorrow, Li Qianhu asked the four of us to report."
When Cao Su saw Qiu Bai, he smiled.
"You came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
Qiu Bai was stunned: "What happened?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you to lend me some points."
"Ah? Cao Baihu, didn't you just get a lot of points?"
"Run out."
"Run out?"
Qiu Bai was shocked. Cao Su must have fifty or sixty points, right? Is this all used up?
Cao Su smiled slightly: "I even owe Jing Yaosi 30 points."
Qiu Bai:......
"I dare to ask, Cao Baihu, your points..."
"It's all been used in serious places, don't worry."
Cao Su hooked Qiu Bai's neck and said fiercely: "How about I borrow some?"
Qiu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Since you have spoken, sir, I'll give it to you. I happen to have 30 points on my body, which can help you fill in the loopholes."
"Sir, it's true that you still owe Si Li points. Do you know that once you owe Si Li points this year, you will not be able to be rated as outstanding in this year's assessment, and at the same time, your monthly payments will also be interrupted.
If you lose it, your position will also drop by one level."
"To be precise, you are now considered 'General Cao'..."
Cao Su nodded: "I know everything, so why don't I ask my brothers to solve it?"
Qiu Bai agreed, but at the same time he was dissatisfied and said: "It's okay if you ask me to borrow some points, but shouldn't your concubine be more supportive?"
"What concubine?"
Cao Su was confused by what Qiu Bai said.
Just when he was about to ask for details, he suddenly felt a cold murderous aura coming from his back.
He quickly pushed Qiu Bai away, and the two of them dodged a sword energy.
The sword energy penetrated straight into the ground and pierced the bluestone slab of the divine capital city.
"Who dares to sneak attack on me?"
Cao Su saw the pink-faced Zhou Wei and pushed Qiu Bai out pretending to be unhappy: "Weiwei, you came just in time. Brother Qiu talks nonsense. I have tolerated him for a long time."
Zhou Wei suddenly appeared next to He Shan, Li Chengren and others.
Li Chengren felt quite troubled and "saved" Qiu Bai, who was in a panic and had no choice but to take the road.
He said to Cao Su: "Cao Su, with the order of the envoy of Tang Town, your team has been transferred to the Tianwu Division to obey orders in the past few days. This will be counted as your B-level mission."
"If you have nothing to do, just go to the south of the city quickly. The Tianwu Division has gathered there."
