It had just snowed, and the roads were very muddy. The carriage that was originally pulled by one horse now had to be harnessed by two horses. On the contrary, the ox-cart could move easily without being affected at all.
Early in the morning, the west gate of Chang'an was placed under martial law. Looking at the expressionless Imperial Guards who were riding tall horses and holding weapons in their hands, everyone consciously took a detour. However, when they walked out of the west gate, they discovered that,
There are also such forbidden troops on the official road outside the city. Looking up, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and you can't see the end. Those who know the rules are shocked. Could it be that the emperor is going on patrol?
He didn't bring any officials or palace maids. Liu Che's carriage was pulled by four horses. The thick curtain under the round hood blocked the wind and snow outside. There was a brazier in the carriage. It was just a little bumpy. Everything else was fine.
Liu Che was drowsy while sitting in the car. Firstly, he went to bed too late last night and woke up too early in the morning. Secondly, he might have been smoked by carbon gas.
I thought I could have more freedom during this private tour, but I didn’t know that after I came out, I found out that it was still known to the world. It was already the Lantern Festival, and the hard-working people had already started busy early, especially the road outside the west gate was even busier.
People who were pushed to the roadside by the emperor's car knelt down one after another, completely ignoring the fact that they were covered in mud, and some even cried excitedly.
"Liu Jiqing, how far is it?"
The old palace man Liu Jiqing, who was riding a horse, ran over quickly: "Report to your Majesty, it's not far, we will arrive in three hours."
"Three hours? Walk faster, we are crowded in the middle of the road, how can others walk? Today is the registration day for Louguan Academy!"
"Here!" Liu Jiqing agreed and rode forward.
Today is the registration day for Lou Guan Academy. All students who have registered at Lou Guan Academy must arrive today. After checking their identities and receiving necessary supplies, no one can accompany them anymore. Even the princes and princes are the same, except for students.
All outsiders will be kicked out. Naturally, some people are reluctant to part with their precious sons, and they can only go back after being scolded by Guan Fu.
Louguan Academy is different from other academies. Not only do you not have to pay for studying here, but you also get some money to take home every month. Due to this alone, the children of poor families are trying to get in, which is why it is here today.
The purpose of this was not that Su Ren had too much money and no place to spend it, but that the situation forced him to do so. Otherwise, there would be no need to build such a large academy. One Taixue would be enough.
Su Ren was wearing the uniform of the academy, with a silver badge on his chest that symbolized the doctor, and stood quietly at the gate. The badge was Su Ren's original creation. Each status in the academy has a different badge. Mountain Chief, Mountain Chief
Chang Cheng is in shining gold, doctors are in silver, lecturers are in copper, administrative staff such as wine ministers are in black and gray, and even the two old slaves guarding the door have green badges. It is clear at a glance.
You can tell who this person is at a glance.
In addition, the hospital uniforms are also specially made. There are no wide robes and big sleeves. They are all designed with a waist and tight cuffs. If Dong Zhongshu and others had not collectively opposed it, Su Ren would have been able to classify tops and trousers. Think of a group of people wearing buns,
A group of people dressed in military uniforms similar to those of later generations stood in front of them, making them laugh out loud for no reason.
"Come on, let's go, the waiting list is here!" A burst of noise scattered the neat team. Chen Xu proudly pushed away the few people at the front, surrounded by several evil slaves.
aside.
Zhu Maichen, who was in charge of the registration, stood up quickly, bowed to Chen Xu first, and said, "I'm sorry to hear that Longli has arrived. Please give me your registration notice and identity document."
Chen Xu looked up at the sky, and an evil slave sneered: "You don't even know Longli Hou? What kind of notices and documents do you need?"
"This is also..."
Before Zhu Maichen finished speaking, he received a slap on the face, and several evil slaves overturned the tables and chairs. The crowd of onlookers quickly backed away, knowing that Chen Xu, the Marquis of Longli, was the eldest son of Princess Guantao.
, he is the dandy among dandies in Chang'an, and there is no benefit in provoking him.
Zhu Maichen covered his face and looked at Chen Wu aggrievedly: "Master Hou, please calm down, Lord Hou, please calm down, I will help you handle it now!"
Hearing this, Su Ren's face darkened and he thought about going over to see Long Xihou Chen Xu. At the same time, he also gave Zhu Maichen some advice. He expected him to learn well, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't hold up the wall with mud. He always thought
Guys who take shortcuts by relying on powerful people. Such people cannot stay in the academy. They must find a reason to get out. One piece of mouse droppings can ruin the whole pot of soup.
Su Ren hadn't moved yet, but a young man behind Chen Xu sneered: "Longlihou has such a huge formation. This is Louguan Academy, not Longlihou's Mansion, and not Princess Guantao's Mansion!"
"What did you say? I'm looking for a fight!" As soon as Chen Xu turned around, two evil slaves immediately started to take action.
There was no fear on the thin face of the young man. He looked at Chen Xu and continued: "The great ancestor said, murderers must die, wounding and stealing will not be punished. A villain's life is cheap. Even if he kills a villain, he will not do it."
But when you think about it, you should think carefully about your fate."
"Are you threatening me?" Chen Xu smiled coldly.
The young man said: "I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth. Here are the people of Sanfu, and even the people of Chang'an. Many of them should be familiar with Longlihou. According to the law of Han Dynasty, the crime of committing murder in public will be increased by one degree. Even if you are Longlihou,
I'm afraid I can't stop you!" Then he pointed at a few evil slaves and said with a smile: "You bully dogs, you must think clearly, this is the world at your feet, and it is also the academy built by Mr. Su. Everyone from all walks of life gathers here, even if
If you are lucky enough to escape danger in Longxi, your end will never be too good."
In just two words, the scene immediately became silent. Even the evil slave beside Chen Xu stepped back unconsciously.
The young man smiled coldly: "As far as I know, His Majesty's car should be arriving soon. If Long Xihou doesn't want His Majesty to see such a scene, it would be better to queue up at the back in a polite manner."
Chen Xu gasped and stared fiercely. The banners were already visible at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Xu really didn't dare to let His Majesty see him commit the crime. Now his sister has been locked up in the Changmen Palace. Although she has not been removed from the position of queen, she has fallen out of favor.
It's a foregone conclusion. His mother, Princess Guantao, has her tail between her legs, let alone him.
Pointing at the young man, Chen Xu said: "Okay! I will spare you today, but do you dare to tell me your name? You will be rewarded generously in the future!"
"Hahaha!" The young man smiled: "Why don't you dare? I'm Du Ling and Zhang Tang! I'm waiting for a good reward!"
Looking at Chen Xu's gloomy back, Su Ren smiled slightly and turned back to his original place. Under Zhang Tang's organization, the messy team was organized again. Because of what happened just now, many people admired Zhang Tang. Some people admired Zhang Tang.
A few of them had already come forward and took the initiative to chat. Instead, they looked coldly at Zhu Maichen, who had been slapped, and kept making sarcastic remarks.
Su Ren called Master Fu Yan and whispered a few words in his ear. Master Fu Yan nodded and turned around and left.
The emperor did not go through the main entrance. This may be the first time that an emperor did not go through the main gate. There were too many people at the entrance of the academy. Not to mention the carriages and horses, even a single person had to squeeze in. When the emperor's carriage arrived, he knelt down and bowed down.
Something happened because of the lack of security, and he lost etiquette. Under the leadership of Huo Jin and Huo Qubing, Liu Che abandoned the car at the bottom of the mountain, and only took Liu Jiqing and a few guards to bypass the main gate and enter the academy through the corner gate on the side.
When Liu Che came here for the first time, everything he saw was strange to him. Huo Qubing took the initiative to be the explainer, and proudly boasted to his uncle that he was the first student of Louguan Academy, which made Liu Che laugh.
When Su Ren arrived, Liu Che had just finished visiting the library. Since he was in private, there was no big ceremony. Su Rengong handed over his hand and said, "Brother Liu, how many days are you going to stay? There will be an opening ceremony for all students tomorrow as an honorary academy.
Sir, Brother Liu should say a few words."
"Oh, what should I say?" Liu Che was a little excited. These are the future pillars of the Han Dynasty, much better than those lifeless old bureaucrats.
Su Rendao: "There is no need to say anything, nothing more than encouragement. Let's talk about the prospects of our big men, so that these young people can be motivated!"
Liu Che smiled and said: "You still want me to be a cover for your academy!"
Su Ren waved his hand: "This is not my academy. It is clearly written on the door as Imperial Academy, it is yours!"
The two laughed.
It was getting late, and those who had signed up were taken to their dormitories by the handymen, while those who had not signed up were still crowded outside. This was all novel to the young people of Han Dynasty, and they soon forgot about the life and death of their parents, and worked hard
Adapt to a new life.
Everything went according to plan, except that Chen Xu was turned away, and Zhu Maichen received a serious warning before school officially started. These were two innocuous things. Chen Xu complained for a while, and Zhu Maichen shouted.
After taking two sips of strong liquor, I did whatever I was supposed to do. At least it didn’t affect anyone at the moment.
The next day, the sudden horn woke up the sleeping students. Guan Fu's loud voice stood downstairs in the dormitory and roared. No one was not afraid of Guan Fu. Last night, the two dudes were too excited to sleep, so they wandered around the yard.
They were beaten to a bloody pulp by Guan Fu. This time they finally knew that Guan Fu's words were not just to scare them. Six inspectors with red badges rushed from dormitory to dormitory, and if they started slowly, they would be beaten with a stick.
No matter where they were beaten, it only took a quarter of an hour to gather together, and twelve more people were beaten by Guan Fu.
The huge team began to run around the huge playground. Liu Che was particularly curious about this and asked: "Why is this so? The academy is not just for learning, this running is for the army."
Su Ren said with a smile: "Your Majesty's academy cannot cultivate those idiots who are indifferent to the four bodies and five grains. A gentleman cannot be said to be proficient in all of the six arts, at least he must learn them all. Besides, there is nothing wrong with running. At least it can make them healthy.
Kang.”
After running and eating, he went back to the dormitory and took his little horse to attend the opening ceremony of the first class of Louguan Academy. Su Ren first introduced the main teachers one by one. When the honorary dean, His Majesty the Emperor, was called out, the scene was filled with excitement.
