Continuing from the last time, he said that Mr. Li had to go to the Imperial College. Everything else was fine, but the location was a bit deceiving. The Imperial College was at the northernmost end of the capital, almost to the base of the city wall, while the Suzhou Guild Hall where Li You lived was at the southeastern corner.
Inside Chongwenmen, there is a distance of twenty miles.
Since he was going to visit the Imperial Academy to sign up, he had to dress more formally. Li You asked Xiaozhu to take out his official robe and gauze from his luggage. He just resigned but was not dismissed from office. The imperial court specially ordered that those with crowns and belts should be retained. And from the guild hall
I asked for a sedan chair and set off with two long attendants.
After walking slowly and leisurely north for an hour, I arrived at Chengxian Street outside the gate of the Imperial College. There are two Imperial College archways at the street entrance, which were built by ancestors. After passing through this archway, civil servants dismounted their sedan chairs and military attachés dismounted their horses, so Mr. Li simply got off his sedan chair and walked on the last part of the way.
Cross the street.
As usual, the Imperial College has two main gates: the main gate is called Jixian Gate, and the second gate is called Taixue Gate.
Li You passed through two gates and the stele pavilion. He didn't have time to see the scenery. He saw a straight corridor in front of him. The open areas on both sides of the corridor were full of people, and they lined up neatly.
It is roughly estimated that there are between 1,000 and 2,000 people in the two areas, and their uniforms are very uniform. They all wear plain scarves on their heads and jade-colored straight skirts, which are the uniforms of supervisors ordered by Emperor Taizu.
Further forward from the crowd, there is a long high hall with a terrace in front of it. There is an official in scarlet clothes on the terrace. He is probably an academic officer in the prison, and he is probably a fourth-grade Imperial College sacrificial wine.
What a familiar scene... Li You didn't know why he wanted to laugh. It was such a coincidence that he was here to catch up and speak. Compared with the scene at the school assembly in his previous life, this was different from the scene in the school assembly except that he wore different clothes and did not have a loudspeaker.
, what else is the difference?
Li You felt that he was a dignified (in fact, he could not be considered dignified in the capital) seventh-grade official, and it was unseemly to hide behind a group of supervisors, so he walked around from the back of the crowd to the side path, and then followed the path to the front of the crowd.
He only stopped on the east side of the terrace.
He felt that this position was very appropriate. It not only reflected the respect of the academic officers but also placed him above the ordinary supervisors. At the same time, he took the opportunity to look at his future classmates. It was okay if he didn't pay attention. When he looked carefully, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
These students are really young. Looking at it, the youngest is only in his thirties, and the older ones are only in their fifties or sixties... Is this Taixue or a nursing home?
Previously, Mr. Li was planning to start the fantasy mode of recruiting juniors and raising thugs in mixed colleges, but after a few glances, he realized quite intuitively that the Imperial College was indeed a concentration camp for defeated dogs...
Scholars who have repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations and have lost confidence and want to be officials will come to the Imperial College in order of seniority. If they are lucky in the end, they may get a relatively good position as a high-ranking official. But
Generally, those who become officials are in their forties or fifties, and their background is low, so what kind of future do they have?
Even those who came to make up for the prison sentence were about the same. He was indeed unique in the world... At this point, Li You had completely given up any luck in making friends with his classmates.
In the eyes of the 16-year-old seventh-grade official, this group of rubbish classmates with less than five combat abilities would be a drag even if they made friends with them! Let's get out of here as soon as possible. There is really no need to waste too much time in the Imperial College.
I heard that old man Wang (perhaps he should be called Senior Wang) dropped out of college after staying in the Imperial College for eight months... Having made up his mind, Li You put his mind aside and listened carefully to the "leader's speech" on the stage.
In fact, Li You had already been noticed by people on the stage. Next to the lineup of one or two thousand jade-colored shirts, there appeared a full set of characters with crowns, green robes and black gauze. They were the only ones walking around in the audience, so of course they were very eye-catching.
When Li You moved closer, the "leader" who was speaking glanced at him from the corner of his eye. For some reason, his face furrowed slightly, and he quickly ended his long speech and said loudly: "You must concentrate on studying, and don't make trouble over nothing."
!Otherwise the prison regulations will be absolutely lenient!”
After the crowd dispersed, Li You adjusted his clothes a little and was about to go forward to pay homage. At this moment, he saw the "leader" coming down from the terrace and leading several officials to greet him. This courtesy flattered Mr. Li, who was about to go to jail.
As he got closer, Li You secretly glanced at the tattoo on the other person's chest. Yes, it was the same as Wang Zhifu, it was the fourth grade.
The only fourth-grade official position in the Imperial Academy is to offer sacrifices to wine. It seems that this thin and capable "leader" is the sacrifice to wine. I have inquired before that this gentleman's surname is Fei.
"I have been in the Imperial Academy since I was a lower official, and I have been disturbed a lot."
"Where is it? I don't know if your Majesty has come here, but you have been greeted from afar."
"Don't dare, don't dare. It's the fault of the lower officials for disturbing the boss."
"It's okay, please come in and talk about it."
After a few words of exchange, Li You felt that the atmosphere was very strange. Is this the attitude a fourth-grade official should have when facing a seventh-grade official? He was very respectful and inexplicable.
He didn't know what to think, and followed Master Jijiu to the Yilun Hall in confusion. In the Imperial College, Yilun Hall was the residence of Jijiu, Siye and other officials.
Only the fourth-grade sacrificial wine and the fifth-grade Si Ye accompanied the guest Li You. The other first-grade wines were not qualified enough to be on the stage, so they all dispersed.
This made Mr. Li even more confused... He just wanted to find someone like Dian Bo who was in charge of academic affairs to inquire about the situation. He didn't expect to be received in such a grand manner... Did he take the wrong medicine? He couldn't help but say: "This time I
…”
Before he finished speaking, several supervisors suddenly rushed over and stopped Li You. With a thud, they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, I'm here to show you! Students have grievances to report!"
Li You was suddenly stunned. This was not surprising in Suzhou Prefecture. It was normal for officials to be stopped and complained. But now in the Imperial College in the capital, what kind of drama is this? The Imperial College has wine sacrifices and law enforcement supervisors. He
What qualifications does a person who comes to supplement prison have to make decisions for prison students?
It's weird, it's weird, there are weird and evil things everywhere in the Imperial College today...
But I heard Na Fei Jijiu drink and say: "It's inappropriate, where are the prison rules? Get off!"
The supervisor who took the lead in kneeling on the ground raised his head and said: "The sun and the moon are shining brightly! It's hard to bully others but to bully heaven! Can the teacher block the way of speech?"
What is this and what... Li You cursed in his heart. With so many people present, I'm afraid he is the only one who doesn't know the truth. Who can tell him what happened?
However, it can be concluded that there seems to be something troublesome... Li You followed the principle of retreating from the situation to protect himself when the situation was unclear. He handed over Fei Jijiu and said: "I have other important matters today, so I will take my leave. I will visit you again in the future."
The supervisor shouted: "There is something else going on in the matter at Yique. Sir, you want to cover your ears and run away quickly!"
Yi Que...this is a matter of Tongtian, why did you find him? Li You felt that he really came to the wrong place today.
Another supervisor knelt on the ground and shouted: "I have been favored by the imperial court and ranked as a seventh-level supervisor, so why do you act so foolishly? It is a waste of your salary! How can you set an example for Qingliu!"
Seventh level supervisor? Li You was dumbfounded, it seemed... there was a misunderstanding.
