Chapter 29 The Provocation of the Yuwen Association
After staying in the Duke's Mansion for more than half a month, on this day, Yuwen Chenglong finally walked out of the Duke's Mansion again and went to school!
Speaking of the school system in the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that it was full of ups and downs.
Yang Jian was a talented and strategic emperor. He saw the disadvantages of aristocratic families monopolizing officialdom, so he used his brains, made up his mind, and overcome all difficulties. After spending countless brain cells, he finally came up with a plan that could break the current officialdom structure.
system, that is the imperial examination system!
It's a pity that although Yang Jian's idea was good, he took too big a step and broke his eggs!
In the ninth year of the founding of the Emperor, after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen Dynasty, Yang Jian tried to spread the imperial examination system throughout the country and take the lead in realizing communism among the intellectual class!
As a result, the Nanchen aristocrats who had no sense of belonging to the Sui Dynasty gave up and started to rebel one after another!
Although the turmoil did not last long and was quickly extinguished, the wars that spread all over the south of the Yangtze River also showed Yang Jian's children's shoes the rich heritage of the family.
In addition, northern aristocrats also expressed their firm opposition to the imperial examination system in various forms.
Seemingly offended by public outrage, Yang Jian had no choice but to compromise. As a result, the imperial examination system, which had just sprouted a little sprout, was uprooted!
Even the original educational institutions suffered. Even the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, which were not directly related to the imperial examination, were abolished for a time.
A few years later, Yang Jian used the excuse that his grandson had grown up and wanted to pay close attention to his child's education, so he brought out Taixue.
However, the scale of Taixue at this time was very small, far less than the huge scale of the Han and Wei dynasties, which often had tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of disciples.
Moreover, at this time, the nature of Taixue's education was also reduced from a government-run school to a semi-private royal school, and its main task became to train royal children and their party members.
Party members naturally refer to those disciples of courtiers. However, what these people call studying is actually more of "study with the prince." The main task of going to school is to make friends with the royal family's children and dignitaries, so as to prepare for their future entry into the officialdom and form cliques for private gain.
Those who prepare and actually come to learn are very rare.
According to the rules, the children of officials of fourth rank and above are eligible to study at Imperial College when they reach the age of admission.
Therefore, Yuwen Chenglong, the third generation official, as the direct descendant of the Duke's Mansion, was naturally qualified to go to Taixue!
Also going to school with Yuwen Chenglong were his second uncle Yuwen Wenji, a pseudo-mother, and his third uncle Yuwen Zhiji, a popular figure, as well as his tough second brother Yuwen Chengdu and third brother Yuwen Chengxiang.
Yuwen Chenglong doesn't particularly care about whether he goes to school or not. Anyway, you can't learn anything in this kind of school. It's basically just a group of second- and third-generation officials gathering together to form gangs and fight! There's nothing to do.
!
However, as a third-generation official of the Sui Dynasty, he will inevitably have to deal with these officials' children regardless of whether he pursues an official career in the future. Sooner or later, it is better to explore the way first and see the style of the dandies of the Sui Dynasty.
.
What's more, when he went to Beijing this time, Yuwen Chenglong also shouldered a secret mission assigned by his grandfather.
Since you are attending Imperial College, you cannot bring maids into the school. But there is no one to look after your eldest and grandson, and Mrs. Yuwen really can’t worry about it. So Mrs. Yuwen rarely brings her second grandson, Yuwen Chengdu, and her third grandson to Chengdu.
Sun Yuwen Chengxiang, his second son Yuwen Shiji, and his third son Yuwen Zhiji were called into the room one by one and gave a serious oral education. They also asked the eldest grandson's personal maid Wanwan to give Yuwen's young masters a lesson.
A required course for everyone!
So, the next morning, Yuwen Chenglong, surrounded by his two uncles and two younger brothers, entered Taixue Academy with great vigor and high spirits!…
Although they are all from Imperial College, Yu Wenshi and Yu Wen Zhiji are obviously in the big class. They are probably second-generation or third-generation officials in their fifteenth or sixteenth year. Most of these people have already mastered the basic meaning of classics.
If you are familiar with it, you will only be able to become an official after you graduate.
As for Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Chengxiang, they were in a small class, and they were basically all little girls under ten years old who were still studying in elementary school.
As for the middle class where Yuwen Chenglong is, they are all a group of teenagers who are about 11 or 12 years old and are about to enter puberty.
Although he looks like a ponytail, Yuwen Chenglong is not short. Compared with ordinary children of the same age or even one or two years older, Yuwen Chenglong's height is already outstanding.
Maybe it's because of his height, or maybe everyone hasn't figured out each other's details yet. Even though it was the first day to enter a school for dandies like Taixue, it was rare that no dandy dared to provoke Yuwen Chenglong. This seemed extremely extreme.
A freshman who is easy to bully. Of course, there is no official kid who wants to get close to Yuwen Chenglong.
So, Yuwen Chenglong spent the first day of school peacefully.
What makes Yuwen Chenglong feel that this Taixue is still a little interesting is that there are actually girls in this Taixue, and there are quite a lot of them!
This is probably also related to the fact that many high-level people in the Sui Dynasty have Hu ancestry!
After spending two days quietly in the school, Yuwen Chenglong's good days finally came to an end!
Because, these two days are enough for these dudes to find out the details of Yuwen Chenglong.
Similarly, Yuwen Chenglong also through secret observation and communication with his two uncles, he had a thorough understanding of the dandies in his class.
"Boy! Are you that sick boy from Poyantou's family? You are a despicable thing! Why don't you kneel down when you see the master?" After the morning class the next day, just after the doctor who taught the class left, a little boy came in arrogantly.
When he got in front of Yuwen Chenglong, he provoked.
Glancing at the person who came, Yuwen Chenglong quickly remembered the origin of this person: Princess Guangping's consort Yuwen Jingli's eldest son Yuwen Xie.
Speaking of the Yuwen Association, let me add here that although they both share the same surname of Yuwen, they are actually not related to the Yuwen Chenglong family at all.
The surname Yuwen originated from the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei, who claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Yan Shennong.
After the death of the powerful minister Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty, his nephew Yuwenhu killed the last puppet emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Kuo (originally named Yuan, but was forced to change his surname by Yuwentai to Tuoba), and put Yuwentai's underage son Yuwenjue on the throne.
Being a puppet is for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Finally, someone with the surname Yuwen became the emperor. At this point, the Yuwen family began to enter the royal family.
The penultimate emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yun, was the son-in-law of Yang Jian. This man only served as emperor for more than a year, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty almost fell apart. He then passed the throne to his seven-year-old son Yuwen Yan and ran off on his own.
Playing like a king!
After Yu Wen Yan had been the puppet emperor for more than a year, his father Yu Wen Yun finally gave up his life and killed the woman in her belly. Under the coercion of Yang Jian, the actual controller of the imperial court, Yu Wen Yan had to abdicate the throne to
His maternal grandfather (not his biological father) Yang Jian.
Then, less than a year later, nine-year-old Yuwen Chan (Yu Wenyan, whose name was changed after abdicating the throne) died inexplicably.
Before and after this, the Yuwen Royal Family was also brutally purged by Yang Jian, and the direct bloodline of the Yuwen Royal Family was almost wiped out.
Although Yuwenshu's surname is Yuwen, he is also from the Xianbei tribe, but his original surname is Poyantou. He does not belong to the royal family, but is a slave of the Yuwen tribe. He changed his surname to Yuwen after his master. His father Yuwensheng was promoted to Shangzhu Kingdom due to his military exploits during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he was considered a junior.
Entered the ranks of the nobility.
At this moment, the Yuwen Association calls Yuwen Chenglong "the sick son of the Poyantou family". Naturally, he is scolding people and using it to reveal the background of Yuwen Chenglong's family!...
Although Yuwen Chenglong was called a slave, in fact, the Yuwen Xie family had little to do with the original Northern Zhou royal family. Almost all those who were truly related by blood were dead!
Speaking of which, the Yuwen Xie family is similar to the Yuwen Chenglong family. Both of their ancestors slowly rose up with their military exploits during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and eventually entered the ranks of the nobility.
However, the Yuwen clan at that time was too large, and many people with the same surname as Yuwen actually had no relatives. At most, they were the same clan, not the same family, but the same clan from the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei. Maybe in the early years, they were still the same clan.
They used to be their main rivals, but now things have changed, and they have just unified under the blue sky of the Sui Dynasty.
For example, today's Yuwen Xie and Yuwen Chenglong were just people from the same Yuwen tribe!
As for the current Yu Wen Xie, because his father Yu Wen Jingli once worked as a bodyguard in the Prince's Mansion, and later the Prince Yang Yong favored him, he just climbed up to the high position of Yang Yong's half-sister Princess Guangping and became the Xiongzhou Princess.
Governor.
There is no doubt that this Yuwen Xie family has been branded as the lineage of Prince Yang Yong.
Yuwen Chenglong's grandfather, Yuwen Shu, had already begun to attach himself to Jin Wang Yang Guang's lineage. Therefore, it is natural for the two Yuwen families to become enemies! However, the contradiction has not been completely clear yet!
It was precisely because he did not know such a big background that Yuwen Xie dared to provoke Yuwen Chenglong boldly! This caused a lot of trouble.
