The entrance to the Nanjing Imperial College gate is the Jixian Gate, and the entrance to the Jixian Gate is the Taixue Gate. The three-layer archway is tall and majestic, painted with gold and painted colors. Walking under the archway makes people feel awe and solemnity. After passing the Taixue Gate,
It is the seven-room main hall, which is the Yilun Hall. The one in the middle is specially used for the throne of the emperor when he is visiting. There are five edicts hanging on the hall. The east one is for offering wine and conducting official business. In front of the hall is a terrace.
To the south, there is a corridor in the middle, which connects to the Taixue Gate. This is the road that the emperor took when he was driving. There are Qi on the east and west sides, where all the students are lined up——
At three o'clock on June 20th, Zhang Dai, Zhang E, and Zhang Yuan stood waiting outside Yilun Hall with other newly admitted supervisors. The day before yesterday, there were only 200 supervisors who took the entrance examination in Gongyuan, but today there are 300 students enrolled.
It seems that Nasu has quite a few supervisors. (《》网.com)
At the right time, the gate of Yilun Hall slowly opened, and twenty officers in soap clothes trotted out from both sides, standing on both sides of the gate. The students outside the gate were chatting and laughing, but at this time they all closed their mouths, straightened their clothes, and stood in silence——
Two supervisors wearing black gauze hats and regimental collar shirts walked out of the door one after another. The one in front was in his forties, with a white face and a slight beard, with shaved cheeks. The pattern of the patchwork on the official uniform was white pheasant, and his belt was silver.
Hua, the man in the back is in his fifties, tall and fat, with a face as purple as purple sauce, and bulging eyes, as if he has hyperthyroidism. His official uniform is made of oriole, and his belt is made of black horns——
——"Civil Service Sege" says: "One or two cranes and golden pheasants, three or four peacocks and wild geese flying. The fifth grade white pheasant is the only one, six or seven egrets and egrets are suitable. The eighth and ninth grades are combined with miscellaneous duties, quails practice magpie and
Oriole. Fengxian Yamen specializes in law enforcement, and specializes in Xie Zhi Mai Lun Yi." The supervisor walking in front has a white phoenix in his official uniform, that is, he is a fifth-rank official. The Oriole behind him is an eighth-rank official. Zhang
It turned out that I had learned about the official system of the Imperial College in Nanjing. The principal officials of the Imperial College in Nanjing were in the fourth rank, and there was only one fifth-rank official, and that was Song Shimian, the Siye. Jiao Runsheng reminded him that Song Shimian was a disciple of Dong Qichang and might make things difficult for him and ask him to stay.
Point God——
The two supervisors stood still in front of the gate. The supervisor in the white oriole official uniform coughed. The one in the oriole official uniform beside him immediately bowed to him, then turned to everyone and said loudly: "This
This is Mr. Song, the Secretary of the Southern Supervisory Office, and everyone is here to greet you. The latest chapter of the Holy Church.com"
As expected, it was really Song Shimian, the director of Nanjian. Zhang Yuan and other students bowed to Song Shimian and heard Song Shimian say: "Listen, students, once you enter the Imperial College, you can't do as you please at home.
All bad habits must be changed. We must abide by the rules and study hard. The prison regulations set by Emperor Gaozu must be strictly abided by. If there is any resistance, slander of the teacher, mischief, or violation of the school rules, he will be beaten with a bamboo grate in the lightest way, and beaten with a bamboo grate in the worst case.
Punishment with a stick, even banishment from the army, and punishment as a lowly official - the specific academic rules and regulations will be explained to you in detail by Mao Jiancheng later."
It turns out that this purple-faced official in Oriole uniform is the Prime Minister of Nanjian. Although he is only an eighth-rank official, he has great power. He is in charge of the Shengzhen Hall, which is regarded as the judicial and law enforcement agency of the Imperial College. Even the instructors are lazy in training
, he will supervise every supervisor student who violates the rules, and has the power to punish him. Of course, he mainly supervises the supervisor students——
Mao Jiancheng bowed to Song Shimian again. When he faced Zhu Sheng, his purple face became serious, and he asked Zhu Sheng: "Have you ever seen a long pole outside the prison door?"
Most students didn't pay attention, but Zhang Yuan noticed that there was a "" outside the gate of the Imperial College. It was a flagpole, but there was no flag, it was bare——
While the students were whispering to each other, Mao Jiancheng said loudly: "That long pole once hung the head of a prison student for one hundred and twenty-six years."
All the students present let out a hissing sound, which was exactly the effect Mao Jiancheng wanted. He also said: "In the 27th year of Hongwu, Zhao Lin, a student of the Imperial College, wrote a headless post to slander the imperial court and academic officials. According to the regulations of the prison,
A hundred sticks were used to serve as soldiers, but Emperor Gaozu, serving as an assistant to the police and fools, ordered Zhao Linxiao’s head to be displayed to the public, and it was hung on that long pole until Emperor Zhengde visited the south, and then it was removed..."
Zhang E in the crowd became more and more annoyed as he listened, and whispered to Zhang Yuan on the side: "Jiezi, what is this plague official talking about?"
Zhang Yuan was also very dissatisfied with Mao Jiancheng for bringing the torture of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty to the present day. Moreover, Mao Jiancheng seemed to have a point, and sneered: "Scaring the new students. Shengtang.com"
Zhang E said: "This plague official is only an eighth-grade official. He dares to scare us. The supervisors here must have had many Jinshi officials in the past few years. I will scare him to death if I turn around."
Zhang Yuan smiled "Hey" and thought to himself: "It's like schools in later generations. There were many hateful teachers, but when the students became successful and famous, they rarely came back to trouble the teachers. They just laughed it off."
Seeing that this prisoner had shocked everyone, he elaborated on the prison rules. He was not allowed to wear hats crookedly, tie ribbons, wear ordinary people's clothes, and was not allowed to go to other halls to discuss. Anyone who dared to insult the teacher or cause trouble was criticized.
Those who do not will be severely punished by the Shengqi Hall. This is a supervisory rule in terms of etiquette. In terms of life management, students in each class must first report to the instructor if they have any matters. If the supervisory students want to go out, they must have a "respectful sign for exit and entry". This is
Each class has a card, which is controlled by the on-duty student. If you leave the class without a license, you will be punished. If you do not return before dark, you will be punished. The prison students will live on campus. The room will be arranged by the Imperial College. You are not allowed to borrow other people's residence without permission. You are not allowed to live in it.
Outside the prison, those who are not called during the night call will be punished severely. In the prison cells, they are not allowed to sing and drink, make loud noises, and talk about right and wrong. In terms of schoolwork, if you cannot complete the homework set by the instructor, you will be ranked last in the exam every month.
Yes, painful decision...
All the students were secretly frightened when they heard this. Who could bear such painful execution at every turn? One of the eunuchs who knew the story of the Imperial College whispered to the others: "It's all just for show, how can it be so strict? My cousin is an old man."
When the supervisor is born, he not only rents a house and lives outside, but also often goes to the Qinhuai River Room to drink wine. Of course, he has a good relationship with the supervisor and the instructor of the hall."
At this time, after six chimes were heard, Mao Jiancheng shut up. The Yilun Hall's wine-offering office opened, and the Nanjian offered wine-offerings. Gu Qiyuan, together with the doctors and teaching assistants from Zhengyi Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Guangye Hall,
A total of thirteen people from Xuezheng and Xuelu walked outside the gate. Gu Qiyuan gave a speech to the students in the two groups, asking them to be humble and courteous, to keep the courage of etiquette and justice, to get rid of the hardness of flesh and blood, and to adhere to the four do's and don'ts of the sages.
, determined to study, be upright, and be careful in speaking. I hope that the supervisors who study in Nanjian will become virtuous and gentlemen, and they will be able to govern and serve the people with great skills——
Then three doctors from Zhengyi Hall, Chongzhi Hall and Guangye Hall read out the names of the candidates. Dr. Fang from Zhengyi Hall, Dr. Wang from Chongzhi Hall, and Dr. Zhao from Guangye Hall. The students whose names were read out by Dr. Fang came out.
, these will all go to Zhengyi Hall to study, and Zhang E is among them. All the Nasu supervisors who have not passed the entrance examination will be enrolled in the sixteen classes of Zhengyi Hall. Zhang Yuan and his eldest brother Zhang Dai are enrolled in Guangye Hall because of their excellent craftsmanship.
, Guangye Hall has six classes, and this time only thirty-two freshmen can enter Guangye Hall directly——
The opening ceremony is like this. Students in each class follow their respective instructors to their dormitories. The dormitory in Guangye Hall is together with the lecture hall. There are eleven lecture halls in the middle. On both sides are the dormitories for the supervising students.
There were two students living in the room. Zhang Yuan was not in the same room as his eldest brother Zhang Dai. He was roomed with a student in his forties. Before they could exchange greetings and ask their names, Dr. Zhao convened in the Renzi Lecture Hall of Guangye Hall.
Instructions for freshmen, these thirty-two freshmen will form a new class, called the Renzi class of Guangye Hall. Dr. Zhao first introduced Assistant Teacher Yue and Liu Xuezheng of the Renzi class. Dr. Zhao is in charge of the eleven classes of Guangye Hall. Details
Each class was in charge of a teaching assistant, assisted by a student. Dr. Zhao reiterated a few important supervisory rules and left. Immediately, a dianbo brought two deacons and distributed two sets of supervisory uniforms to each student.
, from now on, you will have to wear this prison student scarf in prison. This scarf comes in three styles: large, medium and small. Zhang Yuan is of medium build, so he chose the medium one——
Assistant Professor Yue looked at the thirty-two students in the Renzi class and waved one student forward. This student was in his forties, upright and solemn. He was the one in the same room as Zhang Yuan. Assistant Professor Yue asked this student
name, and replied: "Wei Dazhong, Jiashan."
Assistant Teacher Yue said: "Since you are old and mature, I will temporarily serve as the head of the class." The head of the class is the class leader.
When Zhang Yuan heard the name "Wei Dazhong", he couldn't help but feel moved. Wei Dazhong, one of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin, died in the hands of Wei Zhongxian. He was known as "the most loyal and strong man in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty". Later historians praised and criticized the Donglin Party members.
Differently, Huang Renyu has the lowest opinion of the Donglin Party members, believing that the Donglin Party has only done one thing for decades, and that is to prevent Emperor Wanli from establishing King Fu as his heir——
But Zhang Yuan had his own opinion. The Donglin Party members worked hard to limit the monarch's power and opposed putting their own selfish interests above the public. No matter which class the Donglin Party members spoke for, this idea was always progressive. Although in the late Ming Dynasty, this kind of thinking was always progressive.
It is untimely in the situation of internal and external troubles, but we must not blame the Donglin Party for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty because of this. Just like in the next four hundred years, some arguments believe that the Western free thought and separation of powers system will perish.
| Just like the collapse of the party and the country, it is all a reversal of right and wrong by vested interests with ulterior motives. Although the Donglin Party has many villains, there are more upright people. As far as Zhang Yuan has come into contact: Liu Zongzhou, Qingpu County Magistrate Li Banghua, and
Wen Zhenmeng, who is still just a civil servant, is a man of excellent knowledge and character. Zhang Yuan has seen a photocopy of Wei Dazhong's suicide note. His calligraphy is excellent. The suicide note states his intention to die and urges his family to live in poverty and live diligently.
Read, accumulate virtue and stick by each other in times of adversity. Wei Zhongxian's crime of persecuting Wei Dazhong was for taking three thousand taels of bribes. After Wei Dazhong's death, he still had to recover the stolen goods. Even after selling off his family property, he could not find three thousand taels. His son Wei Xuezhen stayed up day and night, borrowing money to repay the so-called stolen money.
If you want to say that such a person is evil, you have to ask your own conscience——
In this way, Wei Dazhong became the head of the Renzi class in Guangye Hall.
Assistant Professor Yue said again: "There are no classes today. You can go back to your previous residence and move pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other related equipment to the dormitory. Servants are not allowed to accompany you, and all luxury items are not allowed to be moved in. Bedding, etc. will be distributed by the Imperial College, and laundry and cleaning will be done by the Imperial College."
The servants from the Imperial College will do all the chores for you, so you just have to concentrate on your studies."
