Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The common people in Chang'an City, with a mentality of watching the excitement, regard the barbarians as playthings.

Their favorite is still people from the Western Regions.

The music of the Kucha people and the acrobatics of the Khotan Kingdom are all the favorites of the people of Chang'an.

The imperial court issued repeated orders, saying that the Tocharians did not know how to play fire, but someone always secretly arrested the Tocharians and forced them to perform unique skills.

In fact, many people have also seen it.

The first great victory in the Battle of the Western Regions did not satisfy His Majesty the Emperor.

At that time, the Tang Empire did receive enough benefits, but the emperor's vanity was not substantially compensated.

The Second Battle of the Western Regions has been entangled for half a year.

Even a blind man could tell that the three Shangzhu Kingdoms were not there to fight, but to find fault!

They will return to the dynasty after they have bullied those disobedient countries in the Western Regions enough.

The victories of the two wars did not really win the title of 'Tian Khan'.

The emperor was already extremely dissatisfied.

And behind it, there are deeper reasons.

College new campus!

Among the star-studded first batch of graduates, Jia Tong is just a little-known little guy.

He never prided himself on his photographic memory.

On the contrary, he failed to enter the top three in the bureau examination, which brought him some blows.

He rejected the official position of the court, and also rejected the invitation of the head of the family, Chai Shao, to go to Lingnan to be the treasurer.

After graduation, he stayed in the academy as the fourth in the imperial examination.

Now, he has become a glorious teaching assistant.

If the Hongwen Museum is still there, it is more than enough to be a teacher with his knowledge.

But in the academy, he really can't be ranked.

From a teaching assistant, to a teacher, and then to a real teacher, he will have to work hard for at least ten years.

But in comparison, it is young enough.

In the entire academy, Wang Shouren is the only one who can become a teacher before the age of 40.

Even after ten years, Jia Tong is just over 30 years old.

The gold content of Mr. Academy is not compared with ordinary official functions.

Whenever a gentleman intends to enter the court, he can basically choose any fourth-rank official position.

After finishing his teaching work for a day, Jia Tong strolled towards the old campus with his textbooks under his arms.

Although the two campuses are connected, they are not close.

Only a gentleman deserves to own a carriage.

Teaching assistants like Jia Tong have to walk for half an hour to and from get out of class every day.

The house in the new campus is not something he can own now.

"Brother Zhiren!"

A young man who looked to be about the same age as Jia Tong trotted after him.

Jia Tong turned his head, stared, and said, "What's your name?"

The young man shrank his neck, cupped his hands hastily, and said, "Assistant Jia"

Only then did Jia Tong nodded in satisfaction.

"What are you looking for me for?"

The younger generation had a bitter face, and said: "Your method of turning your face and denying others has won the dean's true biography. Back then you called me brother, but now..."

Jia Tong glared again, and said, "You are a student, and I am a teaching assistant. Courtesy cannot be dismissed!"

The younger generation curled his lips, disapproving in his heart.

The ages of the previous sessions of the Academy are very confusing.

Among the first batch of graduates, the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The newly enrolled students belong to the fifth class, and the oldest ones are 30 years old.

After all, the threshold for entering the academy is not so high.

Moreover, the gold content of being admitted to the academy is not much lower than being on the imperial examination list.

Among the Hongwen Museum back then, 40-year-old students were not uncommon.

"My father said that if Assistant Professor Jia is free tonight, you might as well come to the humble house to get together."

Jia Tong was a little puzzled, and said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it will be a holiday in the afternoon. Doesn't your house close the door to let the family members have fun?"

The younger generation shook his head, and said, "My family is in Jiangdu, and there are only old parents in Chang'an City. The Shangyuan Festival is only half a day off, and it will definitely be too late to go home."

Jia Tong pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Songming's exegesis is famous all over the world. If you don't appear abrupt, you will definitely bother me tonight!"

The younger generation was overjoyed and said: "Then it's settled, let's go back together tonight!"

Jia Tong nodded and said, "But let's say it in advance, I won't bring you into the palace tomorrow!"

The young man's face instantly collapsed.

Jia Tong changed the subject and said: "However, if Mr. Song Ming is willing to resign and enter the academy, it's okay to bring you into the palace tomorrow!"

The younger generation hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "You will come home with me tonight, whether you succeed or not depends on what my father wants!"

"Can!"

After Jia Tong finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk towards the old campus.

The younger student hurried back to the classroom, and as soon as he entered, a large group of people immediately surrounded him.

"What did the assistant say?"

"Can you agree to let us enter the palace?"

"My future depends entirely on Brother Cao!"

Chapter 1550 If you miss this time, I am afraid that within a hundred years, there will be no chance of rising

The young man's name is Cao Gui, a freshman who just entered school last year.

Among the first batch of graduates, after Li Yifu and others founded Zhizhi, those who joined the editorial board of Zhizhi are regarded as contemporary student leaders.

Cao Gui was the first member of the editorial board of Zhizhi in this session.

His knowledge is very good, and he has been studying in Hongwenguan for seven years in Wude.

After the Hongwen Library was closed, they never stopped studying when they entered the Academy.

Although he enrolled last year, his knowledge is no worse than most seniors.

Because, he has a strong enough father.

These days, family studies are still one of the most important inheritance methods.

Cao Gui's father's name was Cao Xian, and he had already served as a secretary and a bachelor in the former Sui Dynasty, attending exegesis.

If exegesis is regarded as a separate discipline, its roots can be traced back to the pre-Qin period.

It was only in the first few years that a systematic theory was really formed.

Kong Yingda is the founder of exegesis.

The publication of "Mao Shi Zheng Zheng" made Kong Yingda a great Confucian who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Deming!

Cao Xian, on the other hand, can be regarded as the second person in exegesis.

It belongs to the kind of big cow who can't even invite the academy.

Wang Ji, Lu Deming, and Yu Shinan went to Cao Xian's mansion in person, but they failed to invite the old man over.

Because Cao Xian was one of the earliest founders of Hongwen Museum, and he was called brother and brother with Li Gang.

He regards the academy as a scourge, and naturally refuses to come and teach.

However, he is not as stubborn as Li Gang. Last year, he sent his son to the academy and donated half of the collection in the reading room to the library.

Cao Gui, who was complimented by a large group of classmates in the classroom, did not feel any better.

Jia Tong made it very clear that he would bring himself into the palace only if his father agreed to become an official and enter the academy.

Cao Gui knew very well that his father would not enter the academy even if he died.

He planned to go home and have a good chat with his father. Is the father's respect important or the son's future important?

Cao Xian's official position in the court was not high, and he only had the title of Wensan official of Chaosan doctor.

It's not that the court doesn't pay much attention to him, but that he himself doesn't want to be an official.

Even so, Li Er often invited him to give lectures in the palace.

As long as the old man is willing to enter the court, the position of secretary prison must be replaced.

The Cao family lived in Lizhengfang by the edge of Qujiang Pond, next to Dunhuafang opened by Honglu Temple for the Hu people.

A few streets away from home, Cao Gui was surrounded by a large group of barbarians.

Cao Gui hastily pinched his nose.

These Hu people are quite polite, but the smell on their bodies is unbearable.

Chang'an merchants who often deal with Hu people have already acquired the ability to recognize people by their noses.

After all, in the eyes of the Central Plains people, they are all colorful and similar in appearance.

Those with the smell of mutton are either Tuyuhun people or big cannibals.

The one that smells stinky and tastes hot to the eyes must be from Tubo.

I heard that they take a total of two baths in their lives.

The most unacceptable are those Hu people from the Byzantine Empire.

They are born with body odor and always like to carry a sachet to cover it up.

The smell of the smell mixed together is the most disgusting.

Cao Gui didn't feel the slightest threat.

Because these people are merchants.

Some are leading cattle and sheep, some are holding stalls, and some are staring at earthen pots.

"Little nobleman, look at my goods!"

"Blankets from Persia, smooth and beautiful!"

“kebabs kebabs, fresh kebabs!”

Cao Gui dodged left and right, for fear that these people would bump into him.

It took a lot of effort to finally escape from the crowd of barbarians.

There are still several checkpoints ahead, the closer to Dunhuafang, the more barbarians.

Cao Gui took a deep breath of fresh air, and rushed forward holding his breath.

After a long time, I finally arrived at the door of the house.

"Master is home"

The old butler, who had lost all his hair, took a feather duster and swept Cao Gui's body.

Cao Gui plucked a few chicken feathers from his head and asked, "Where is father?"

The old housekeeper said with a smile: "Master went to Lai Gong's mansion early in the morning, and he just came back not long ago."

Cao Gui was overjoyed.
