Chapter 231: Turbulence in the Imperial College
Chapter 231: Turbulence in the Imperial College
After Xiu Wen and his companions said goodbye to Duke Fu, they headed straight for the city gate of the capital and arrived in front of the gate in about two quarters of an hour.
There were many people queuing to enter the city, and the carriage was moving very slowly. After riding in the carriage for so long, my bones ached.
Xiu Wen and the others simply got off the carriage and walked slowly behind.
Looking at the tall and majestic gate of the capital city in front of him, and the soldiers guarding the gate tower and on both sides, as well as the civilians whose living standards are obviously several levels higher than those in his hometown.
Xiuwen was shocked. It turns out that the book says that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Books are dead, but what the eyes see is the living fireworks of the world. This truth is true.
So this is what the emperor's feet look like, solemn and dignified, making people unconsciously feel deep respect.
The group passed through the city gate and came to the house where Yun Yi stayed. They combed themselves thoroughly and had a good sleep.
The next day, when I went to register at the Imperial College, the teacher knew who this person was as soon as he saw that it was a special approval from the emperor. He was still a little bit worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop him.
The admission procedures went smoothly. In the afternoon, Xiuwen was already sitting in the classroom and listening to the teacher's lecture.
Students who could study in the Imperial College were either rich or noble. Some ignored this student who suddenly appeared, while others looked down on him.
Xiu Wen didn't pay any attention to anyone and just found a seat and sat down.
I came here to study. In Xiuwen's eyes, what other people's attitudes were like? He didn't really care.
But this look angered the bullies in the class.
When a few people saw that the teacher had not come yet, they immediately surrounded him.
"Kid, what can you do? This is the Imperial College. How dare you, a country boy, sit here?"
"Why shouldn't I? I was specially allowed in by His Majesty. If you are not satisfied, go and find His Majesty!" Xiu Wen straightened his back, took out a book from his schoolbag, and prepared to start reading.
"So what if the emperor agreed? This place is about talent and learning. Not relying on your mother to show off those little things."
Xiu Wen was irritated. "Little thing, that is an invention that has never been seen in the Jin Dynasty. Are you mocking His Majesty for being more ignorant than you? Or, you and your mother have invented something better? Then tell me about it. Let me learn something new. If you can't do anything, then don't embarrass yourself, because that will only expose one fact, which is ignorance."
"Even if your mother invented something that Dajin has never had, it only represents your mother. This is a place that values learning. Do you dare to accept our challenge?"
Xiuwei looked coldly at the people in front of him and smiled softly; "Why not?" Today he would let them know that some things cannot be said with just words.
"Okay, then let's compete today on the topic of people's livelihood. Whoever loses will apologize?"
……
The conflicts in the school were all seen by the people outside the window.
The teacher who was teaching this class was a little unhappy and frowned. "What's wrong with this new student? He's causing trouble as soon as he comes."
Yun Yi who was standing next to him was unhappy. He had rushed here specially to see how his nephew was doing in the Imperial College. Now these people in the academy were bullying Xiu Wen in front of him. It would have been fine if the teacher didn't stop them, but he actually dared to take sides.
"Master, you are wrong. I think this student is pretty good. To protect the emperor is loyalty, and to protect his mother is filial piety. He is both loyal and filial. But the style of study in the class is a little disappointing."
The dean of the Imperial College looked at Master Xiaoyao in front of him, then looked at Xiu Wen who was arguing fiercely with the students in the academy, and thought of the news he had received. The Hidden Sword Villa found the eldest daughter who had been missing for many years.
Others may not know, but he knew the true identity of the young master Xiaoyao in front of him. He also knew that the young lady was the mother of the new student Xiu Wen.
Putting it all together, it was clear what the relationship was between this Xiaoyao Master and that person in the academy. No wonder Xiaoyao Master, who usually never came, came to visit him in the academy today.
The debate in the school was almost over. Four or five people were silenced by Xiu Wen.
Xiu Wen's voice continued to ring; "What is people's livelihood? It is not some vague and illusory principle. It is to ensure that the people are well clothed and well fed. To ensure that the elderly and children have someone to rely on. To ensure that the sick have someone to rely on and have skills. ..."
When the dean heard this, he was moved.
He simply walked in while clapping; "Very good, I just listened to all your debates outside. This new student spoke very well. The college needs people with the courage to debate. Only in this way can we learn from others' strengths and know our own weaknesses. We can make faster progress. I hope you will make better progress."
"Dean, teachers." All the students stood up and greeted the dean and teachers.
"Everyone please sit down. Today I will introduce someone to you. This person is the Young Master Xiaoyao that you often talk about."
Yun Yi walked to the front of the stage and said a few words in a high-sounding manner. Then he accompanied the dean to leave. When he left, he glanced at Xiu Wen and blinked.
Xiu Wen smiled knowingly and raised his hand to bid him farewell.
After this debate, the students no longer dared to look down on Xiuwen. Especially when they learned that he was the younger brother of Liang Yuanji, they wanted to make friends with him. The few who debated with him became closer because they knew each other better.
In this way, Xiuwen resumed his normal college schedule, temporarily put aside family matters, and began to prepare for the imperial examination.
