Chapter 278: Registration
On the eastern outskirts of the capital city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, a stretch of antique-looking buildings rises from the ground. Among them are palaces and pavilions, and bamboos are planted in the open spaces. Different types of bamboos are planted in clumps, forming a large bamboo forest. Even if the autumn wind blows westward,
It has grown up, but every leaf is green and does not change its color.
Bamboo is one of the "three friends of the cold year". It is not afraid of frost and cold, and remains green all year round. Many literati and poets use it in their articles and poems, using bamboo as a metaphor for themselves, expressing their awe-inspiring character.
The character of a scholar should be as upright as bamboo.
This piece of bamboo forest has a long history. It is said that the founder of the Imperial College, Dong Shengren, led a group of disciples to plant it one by one.
The building in the bamboo forest is naturally the most prestigious college in the Tiantong Dynasty, the Imperial College.
The reason why the location of the college was not chosen in the city but in the suburbs was in response to the spirit of Dong Shengren: "Scholars should not hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages. If we open a college in the city, we will be close to the world of mortals.
Being immersed in prosperity will undoubtedly make one's mind waver and lose interest in learning..."
The saint has good intentions, but if the students really want to live a prosperous world, how can they be cut off by a short journey?
Moreover, the prevalence of stereotyped writing and the development of the system have become more and more stringent, which has greatly restricted talented thinking and utilitarianism has reached an extreme level. In the past, scholars mostly had the intention of learning; now, who is willing to study hard if not for an official career?
People's hearts changed, the academic style gradually deteriorated, and the Imperial College was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
…
Ying Ning used the "Qi Watching Technique" and looked from a distance. She saw that the air above the Imperial Academy was sparse and even lonely. The influence on her demonic body was even lower than that in the capital.
Such a result is completely unexpected.
Chen Jianchen said calmly: "Nowadays, the "Character Law" is so popular that every word and article can be criminalized. How can we maintain the literary style?"
Yingning nodded and suddenly said: "Sir, how should we deal with it?"
Chen Jianchen said: "The world is in chaos and it is difficult to calculate. I can only study temporarily. When things are stable, I will take my mother and the others to Beijing for resettlement."
This was a plan that had been planned long ago.
Now the two of them walked along a stone road and entered.
The Imperial College is a dream place for scholars all over the world. It is a majestic place, but there are not many students inside. It is far inferior to modern universities, which often have tens of thousands. There are often people coming and going in the corridors.
When it was first reported, Chen Jianchen first went to find a gentleman named "Ivan" according to his instructions to take care of the academic affairs. After asking the man about it, the man had a strange look on his face and said: "Ifan's work on "Yunshui Collection" violated the "Yunshui Collection".
Literary Law, was imprisoned ten days ago, who are you?"
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen was shocked and said: "I am Chen Jianchen, a student from Jiangzhou. He is a new student who has come to the Imperial College to report."
The man said: "To report, you should go to the superintendent. Here, it's at the small building on the south side." He pointed out a place.
Chen Jianchen thanked him and walked away, but his heart was pounding: The arrester actually came inside the Imperial College. It was so pervasive.
I also thought of the large train of prison cars I saw on the road, rushing north. From this, I can deduce how many people in the world have been arrested in these days. Have they exhausted all of them?
Chen Jianchen was wary, and a strong sense of conspiracy suddenly filled his already suspicious heart.
What did Emperor Zhengming want to do when he acted like this?
When we went to the small building, the superintendent was sitting there drinking tea. He announced his identity and purpose and handed over various documents. After carefully checking that they were correct, the superintendent issued a token and distributed the dormitory, but it was for a single person.
,environment of grace.
Mr. Hengqu and Gu Xuezheng jointly recommended Chen Jianchen, so he would be a junior student, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Imperial College would all be at public expense, which would save a lot of money.
Chen Jianchen is certainly not short of money, but in troubled times, who thinks he has too much money? Being able to enjoy the benefits of the court is not free of charge.
After settling in the school, Chen Jianchen didn't have much curiosity about this new environment. Instead, he was worried: the development of the Literary Prison was far more violent than imagined, like a huge storm sweeping across the world, regardless of how much damage it would cause.
Today's scholars, who doesn't feel frightened? Afraid that one day the extremely vicious black-shirted guards will break in, arrest you and put you in jail?
Looking back on the ancient history of the previous life, any literary inquisition always had a specific goal. The root cause was to consolidate political power and eliminate dissidents. And most of them occurred in special dynasties, such as the newly unified Qin Dynasty, or the replacement of national rulers.
of the Yuan Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, etc.
But the current Tiantong Dynasty is completely different. It has ruled for nearly a thousand years, and its civil and military skills are at its peak. There should not be harsh laws and harsh laws in the first place. And once the "Language Law" came out, it can be said that "there is no writing in the world."
The harshness of words and sentences has reached an extreme level. This word cannot be used, that word cannot be used, and it is forbidden everywhere. It is like handcuffs on both hands and a lock on the pen. If things go on like this, there are only a few usable words. Why?
How to write poems and songs?
This kind of literal inferno is simply unreasonable, and it is impossible to discern the intention of the caster from it?
Could it be that you have to click all the scholars in the world to feel satisfied?
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.
The imperial examination system and civil servants and directors have always been the foundation of the dynasty. Emperor Zhengming's behavior of eradicating the roots is no different from that of a madman.
Combined with hearsay, there are many opinions about the current Holy Emperor, two of which are generally recognized and confirmed. One is that the emperor worshiped the Buddha, so he did not hesitate to overturn the old system of the previous dynasty and invited the Buddha to come again; the other is that the emperor was lustful. However, since ancient times, emperors
The idea of having multiple harems and being lewd is not new, but I heard that the new king has to count the number of beauties in his bed every night, so he is in a prosperous spring and autumn period.
Side news belongs to unofficial history, but some clues can also be gleaned from unofficial history.
Worrying thoughts come one after another, and I feel inexplicably irritable. I always feel vaguely uneasy, fearing that an accident will happen.
Staying in the school, Ying Ning sharpened his ink, while he picked up the pen and wrote three words in a row. These words cannot be seen in the world, and they will be torn into pieces after writing.
After writing, I calmed down my inner restlessness a little.
Yingning suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand, and caught a paper yellow crane flying from outside.
Feihe passes the message!
He spat out his little mouth and spit out a piece of paper.
Yingning took it and handed it to Chen Jianchen. He opened it and looked at it, but it was a flying book from Master Guanghan, leaving a message for him.
After reading the above message, Chen Jianchen only felt that there was a storm that could not calm down for a long time. It seemed that the situation was really important. With the situation changing, some big things were inevitable to happen.
