The second hall refers to Hongwen Hall and Chongxian Hall.
Hongwen Pavilion was established by Li Yuan in the fourth year of Wude. It was first named Xiuwen Pavilion. Later, when Li Shimin came to the throne, it was renamed Hongwen Pavilion. There were dozens of students, mostly descendants of the royal family, who studied classics and history with the bachelors.
The Chongxian Pavilion was established in the 13th year of Zhenguan. It is the prince's academy and is affiliated with the East Palace. It is equivalent to cultivating the next generation of literati talents for the prince. Li Shimin really has nothing to say about Li Chengqian.
The six studies refer to Guozixue, Taixue, Four Schools, Legal Studies, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic. The first three studies study Confucian classics, and the last three studies are specialized in nature and all belong to Guozijian.
The Sixth Academy is already very good, but in comparison, the Second Academy is naturally the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, the top aristocratic school. Not only the princes and princes study there, but the students are also the high-ranking children of the royal family and officials in the capital.
You basically have to have a good father in a purple robe to get in. The places are very scarce. The two halls combined only accept about sixty or seventy students. The age of admission is generally between fourteen and nineteen years old.
We won't accept it until it reaches the crown.
Inside, you can not only study with the prince, but also get in touch with various bachelors, who are also led by other officials. Those with fifth rank and above are called bachelors, and those with sixth rank are called direct bachelors.
So when Li Yan sent Guo Yuanzhen and An Shengan to the Sixth School of the Second Hall to find people, Guo Yuanzhen was very excited: "Not only can we find students, we can also invite bachelors to go with us!"
He was calm but not optimistic: "These students from the second hall have their eyes high. My ninth brother was insulted by them before. He ran back to Liangzhou in anger and almost caused trouble..."
Guo Yuanzhen asked: "Where did your brother go to work one year after he passed the Ming Dynasty Economics Examination?"
An Shen said with emotion: "He neither wants to return to Liangzhou, nor does he want to go to the internal defense. He has gone to work as a county captain at the grassroots level in another county. He said that he wanted to practice hard, but the empress couldn't help but Aye quite agreed."
Guo Yuanzhen came from a remote county. It is actually difficult to understand the thoughts of such people, but no matter what, he just praised: "Your brother is so ambitious, he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future!"
An Shengan actually smiled after hearing this: "Yes, Ninth Brother is very promising."
Guo Yuanzhen changed the topic: "Don't worry about these students from the second library not coming, this is a great opportunity to come to our internal security internship!"
An Shen was startled: "Internship?"
Guo Yuanzhen said: "This is what Liulang taught me, which is to experience the work of internal guards in advance without receiving a salary, but to accumulate experience for future employment. On weekdays, we should also accept more interns and selectively hand over the work.
Let them participate more and have more experience."
The soothing effect sounds good at first, but when I think about it carefully, isn't this a proper job for free? I can't help but feel a little speechless: "Rokuro's idleness, you have learned 100%, and you even thought of letting an intern do the work..."
Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "They are very happy. If you want to succeed, you must be able to win people. This is not laziness, but the best of both worlds."
An Shengan knew that he couldn't defeat this person, so he stopped arguing and looked at where he was going: "In terms of close relationship, we should go to Chongxian Hall to find someone first. When His Royal Highness the Prince edited "Yaoshan Jade Color", there was
Many bachelors have also contributed. Don’t Liulang’s family still have the "Yaoshan Jade Color" gifted by His Highness..."
Guo Yuanzhen shook his head: "The Hongwen Pavilion is ranked before the Chongxian Pavilion. If we go to the Chongxian Pavilion first, if there is news in the future, we will inevitably be jealous of the Hongwen Pavilion. Although this is a small matter, we must be careful not to cause trouble for Liu Lang.
.”
An Shengan suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I was negligent. Let's go to Hongwen Hall first."
Guo Yuanzhen smiled: "If the staff at the Hongwen Hall are not suitable, we can go to the Chongxian Hall in the East Palace. Good opportunities for internal guard internships should be reserved for those close to us."
The two of them entered the library and found that students were sorting out atlases.
This is Luoyang, not the main hall in Chang'an, and not all of the students and bachelors who followed the prince eastward are here. In this empty hall, it feels a little deserted.
But even though the number of people is small, both bachelors and students are very immersed in it, reading in front of the bookshelf, or writing on the desk. The yellow paper in their hands and the ink beside them all exude a refreshing fragrance, giving a very learning atmosphere.
.
It can be seen that although these people are of extremely noble origin, they are by no means unlearned and dandy. If they are scholars who love literature, staying in such a place will not only make them more comfortable, but also make them feel soothed and subconsciously step lightly.
Guo Yuanzhen felt nothing, so he walked over in a normal manner and saluted in all directions: "Guo Yuanzhen, a military guard under the command of the inner guard Li Jiyi, pays homage to you all."
This self-introduction was quite effective, mainly because the first five words were particularly loud. The bachelors and students who were immersed in books and did not want to pay attention to the two green-robed officials were startled. They stood up and walked over, saying politely: "See you there."
Pass Guo Wuwei!"
An Shengan also introduced himself. After the two parties greeted each other, Guo Yuanzhen smiled slightly: "We are here on Li Jiyi's order to invite bachelors to teach in the inner guard and students to practice in the inner guard."
Needless to say, the bachelor was a fifth-rank official. He looked out for Li Yan's face and immediately said: "I don't take advice seriously. If Li Jiyi needs it, just explain it."
And those students were a little surprised: "Guo Wuwei, I don't know what it means to be an intern in the inner guards?"
Guo Yuanzhen explained: "This is Li Jiyi's attempt, which has been approved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It allows talented people to familiarize themselves with the work of internal guards in advance and accumulate experience for future employment. They need to participate more and gain more experience. There are not many places and the opportunity is rare.
."
The students' expressions changed from surprise to joy: "Do you have any requests?"
There was no reason for them to be unhappy. Although they had excellent family backgrounds, since they entered Hongwen Hall, the normal way was to first take the imperial examination, pass the Jinshi, and then wait for selection by the Ministry of Civil Affairs before being assigned official positions.
No matter how short this process is, it will still take two to three years, and the starting official position will not be very high. Now if you can go to the internal defense internship, get merit, and become familiar with Li Jiyi, you will be more than one step ahead of your peers.
Already.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Yuanzhen said: "Hongwen Hall was established by the late emperor, and those who train them are the pillars of the country. According to what Li Jiyi and I said, every student is a talent needed by the internal defense.
"
"However, in order to avoid disturbing your studies, we still have to reluctantly make a choice. I wonder if any of you know anything about the history of Goryeo or the history of the Miao descendants of the Three Koreas?"
"The land of three Koreas?"
After hearing this place name, all the students suddenly showed disdain and began to look at people with their nostrils: "What we are studying is the tomb classics. If it is the "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan", "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", everyone can do it.
, Goryeo is a mere barbarian land, where can the historical records come from?”
This is actually true. The history books written by the Korean Peninsula in this era are mainly the "Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms" written by Silla, but it will take a hundred years and has not been written yet.
Therefore, even the royal family of Silla's understanding of history was passed down orally, and there was no clear historical record recorded at all.
Guo Yuanzhen's smile faded and he sighed: "It's really difficult, so I can only ask the bachelor."
After all, bachelors are no better than students, and there are many talented people. Among them, there is an old man stroking his beard and saying: "I followed the late emperor on the expedition to Goryeo, and I have some understanding of the customs and customs there. I can go to the inner guard and let me search for the scroll first...
"
Guo Yuanzhen saluted seriously: "Thank you sir!"
Seeing that the internship quota was gone, some students shook their heads and returned to the books in their hands, while some students' eyes flickered and began to look for books about foreign countries.
Anshengan watched, and suddenly understood Guo Yuanzhen's purpose, and said in a very low voice: "Liu Lang attaches great importance to Silla, not only for this interrogation, you are also prepared to take precautions, guide the study direction of the students in the second hall, and cultivate all
What talents are needed?”
Guo Yuanzhen nodded slightly and responded: "If we can recruit a few more guards, young men with strong backgrounds and knowledge, we can train them as part of the team in the future. Why not? But it doesn't seem to be possible at the moment.
, they really have no idea about the land of Three Koreas..."
In the middle of his words, Guo Yuanzhen stopped in time because a student came over.
His steps were slow, his posture was reserved, and he seemed to have a low self-esteem, which was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited and arrogant spirit of other students. However, after a slight hesitation, he still came to the front and saluted: "Xue Chuyu, I know a little about the land of Sanhan.
I want to try one or two.”
As soon as Xue Chuyu showed up, the other students immediately showed disgust and even walked aside without concealing it. Their rejection was clear at a glance.
Guo Yuanzhen's ears were very sharp, and he heard the words "Da Feichuan", "Tubo" and "One Hundred Thousand Soldiers" from the discussions of those people. Combined with this person's surname, he immediately asked: "I don't know if General Xue is your Excellency..."
?”
Xue Chuyu pursed her lips, feeling a little depressed: "That's my father."
Guo Yuanzhen thought of Liulang's respect for Xue Rengui, and was overjoyed. He immediately said: "Thank you, Master Xue. Please follow us into the inner guard!"
…
"Xue Rengui's son?"
Li Yan was indeed pleasantly surprised. He looked carefully at Xue Chuyu, who stood in front of him and looked even more embarrassed.
As the fifth son of Xue Rengui, since his father, the god of war, was demoted for crimes, although Xue Chuyu was not kicked out of Hongwen Hall, his life was not easy.
After all, the defeat in the Battle of Dafeichuan was so tragic that all 100,000 Tang troops were wiped out. The Tang Dynasty had never suffered such a big loss since the founding of the country. The younger generation tended to place more emphasis on honor and dignity, so naturally they had a lot of criticism towards him.
However, that tragic defeat was not actually a crime of war. Before Li Yan went to Tibet as an envoy, he turned the altitude sickness of later generations into a cold miasma that could be understood by this era, and explained it to Li Zhi through the words of An Yuanshou.
They explained why Xue Rengui watched his friendly troops being wiped out by the Qinling army in the Battle of Dafeichuan. It was not that he refused to save him, but that he suffered from altitude sickness and was unable to move for a while.
Li Zhi also believed it, but until the end, the saint still did not vindicate the hard-working God of War of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Yan came back from Tubo, the focus was on the famine disaster. Although Leng Mi had been further verified and the evidence was conclusive, because Li Zhi was in a daze all day and could not pay attention to the government affairs, it was obviously impossible to rehabilitate Xue Rengui at that time, and he could only retake the throne again.
lay down.
Now he met Xue Rengui's son, which made him quite pleasantly surprised. He consoled him: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Xue Xiaolang. You may not know that when I was studying the secret transmission of Gongxian Jin, I also saw the comments left by your father in the secret scroll, which I still remember.
Xin, I wonder how your father’s health is lately?”
After hearing what he said, Xue Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Aye is in good health, and he is not familiar with the bow and horse. It's just a pity that he can no longer go to the battlefield..."
In history, Xue Rengui would not die until ten years later. Later, he was reused to fight against the Turks again and win the great victory in Yunzhou. He was able to restore some reputation before his death, but the battle of Dafeichuan will be his eternal pain.
Li Yan was ready to let the old general pass away without any regrets. He patted Xue Chuyu on the shoulder. Although he was still younger, he seemed to have the attitude of an elder brother:
"Stand up your chest, be more confident, tell the ignorant Yi girl inside about General Xue's great power in Goryeo, and let her know that the real history cannot be tampered with!"
After hearing the cause and effect, Xue Chuyu already understood the purpose of coming, but she was still not confident: "What if Princess Silla doesn't recognize it?"
Li Yan smiled coldly: "In the near future, I may have to bother General Xue to lead the troops and go to the land of three Koreas again!"
