[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Xia Anran was a little dizzy until she took Sima Hui through the entry procedures.

Sima Hui, Shui, Mr. Shui Jing!

Yay! ! !

To be honest, in a corner where everyone didn't pay attention, Xia Anran jumped up and down again and again, and even rolled several laps happily.

Afterwards, the two discussed how to recruit students, and what Mr. Shui Jing wanted to choose as textbooks, etc. Sima Hui was very easy-going about this. With his knowledge base, he was indeed not afraid of the issue of textbooks, but Xia Anran had Got a little tangled up.

Since the state-based public schools are established, the purpose is not purely for basic education, just like in modern times, you can see that the schools named after regions are basically universities, and there are very few middle schools or elementary schools. .

After all, this kind of educational institution that can use the place name as the school name already represents the highest education level and quality of education in the region to a certain extent, but the embarrassing problem now is that if this statement is followed, then the school teaches The content should be at the university level, but the students here are basically still at the junior high school level.

And everyone like Mr. Shui Jing... Isn't it too wasteful for you to let him teach junior high school students?

Seeing that Xia Anran showed a hesitant expression when choosing textbooks, Sima Hui had a calm face. He stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Master Xia, don't worry. I have some disciples, so we can come together to give lectures."

In other words, Mr. Shui Jing generously expressed that not only will I be the teacher, but I will also bring my students here and let them be primary teachers in charge of basic education.

Xia Anran immediately made a decision.

We need a respectable person like you!

When Mr. Shui Jing signed the letter of appointment, the matter will be settled, and only waiting for the enrollment.

The enrollment of the first public school in Yanzhou was very smooth. Almost after Mr. Shui Jing's identity as the main lecturer of Yanzhou School was exposed, the students who wanted to sign up as students in the school building almost broke the gate of the registration office.

Among them, there is no shortage of Langjun who was born in a wealthy family.

This was completely expected by Xia Anran.

Although the later generations know Mr. Shui Jing, it is entirely because of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but in addition to teaching and recommending these two people, Mr. Shui Jing himself is a knowledgeable master, and his students are not limited to talents. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

More people have entered the middle and upper levels of many regimes. Although they are not well-known, they can be said to be the mainstay.

In less than seven days, the number of people who came to sign up has already exceeded everyone's expectations. Originally, Xia Anran planned to recruit forty to fifty students. This was because of the advantages of small class teaching, and in this era, those who can study full-time There are not many people, and the current capacity of the library is only [-] to [-] people.

Unexpectedly, nearly 100 students signed up, more than doubled.

Although more than 20 people were screened out after primary screening, there were still 80 people left, far beyond the carrying range of the school building, and more importantly, as far as he knew, these people were only from Changyi City, because the time was relatively short. It's urgent, and there are still many students from other places who want to rush over.

In this regard, Mr. Shui Jing didn't care at all, he said that he could accept them all, he dared to accept them, but Xia Anran didn't dare.

Mr. Shui Jing is now in his 50s and nearly [-]s, which is the age of retirement in modern times.In this medically underdeveloped society, how dare Xia Anran let him suffer.

After thinking about it, he still separated out the evil thing called the entrance exam.

The test papers for the entrance examination were produced by Mr. Shui Jing. Sima Hui himself was curious about the behavior of producing papers, but he is a teacher, and each student's level division has his own baseline, but the papers are such a thing. His baseline is more clearly divided.

Mr. Shui Jing is well educated, and his political consciousness is not low.

Scholars these days are definitely not the pedantic people of some later dynasties. Their purpose of studying is to understand things and then become officials. Since the goal is to become officials, political sensitivity is naturally indispensable.

After personally participating in correcting the test papers and selecting a few plastic talents from among them, Mr. Shui Jing immediately found Xia Anran in private.

Now that he had gotten into the car of Inspector Cao, he straight to the point, without tact, "Is Inspector Cao trying to select talents by this method?"

Xia Anran was taken aback for a moment, he was a little surprised, to be honest, in his opinion, this is just an ordinary graded exam, the paper contains basic knowledge, slightly advanced knowledge, and open-ended questions, each proportion accounts for The scores are different. It can be said that it is more scientific and more accurate to determine the knowledge base of the students. As for the fact that it may happen that the test question happens to belong to this student union, it does not matter. After all, luck is also a part of strength. People with good luck, The road ahead will not be too difficult.

As for stepping into the scientific examination system... Xia Anran has indeed thought about it, but this step is too big, and the consequences are definitely not something he can bear.

After thinking for a while, he still answered cautiously, "For the time being, Yanzhou's selection of talents is still based on the recommendation system."

Mr. Shui Jing smiled slightly, the recommendation system is the main method, and there are naturally other methods as a supplement.

As for the other methods... Now that he jumped out of the box, he discovered some of the little secrets, for example, some unnecessary programs in the library.

Seeing that Xia Anran didn't admit it, he didn't say anything. He naturally knew the seriousness of it, and also knew that if Cao Mengde really had this plan, it would definitely be an impact on the aristocratic and wealthy families.

In this way, without a complete plan, preparation, and no excuses, Cao Mengde naturally would not act without authorization.

With such a plan, it is possible to advance step by step and not rashly.

He silently gave Cao Mengde some points in his heart.

Cao Mengde: What?Who called me?

After the scheduling plan is basically completed, it is the task of starting school.

Regarding the start of school day, Xia Anran originally planned to wait until Cao Cao came back.But he was persuaded by Zhong Yao.

Let’s not talk about when Cao Cao will be able to come back. Let’s just say that according to the appeal of Mr. Shuijing, Yanzhou is already full of students who have heard the news in less than half a month. The accommodation will become their burden.

The schools in Yanzhou provide food and lodging, and Xia Anran also stipulates that they must wear school uniforms, and they are not allowed to bring servants, they all come by themselves.These have been stated in the admissions instructions, there is no accident, you can accept this and then register. The first identity of entering the school is a student, and it has nothing to do with family or property.

Students must obey the school's rules, and even the sons of the emperor, including Cao Cao's own son, will not show favoritism.These are the school rules that have been set before, Xia Anran only needs to copy them.

This is also to attract students who are not rich but talented.But now that the school is closed, these students can only stay in the hotel and wait.

and.When Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, there would be two situations. They did not find the little emperor, and the little emperor would either be taken back or his whereabouts were unknown; In either case, Cao Cao will not have time or leisure at that time.

And the third one is the most important, when Zhong Yao didn't say it.But he didn't say anything, Xia Anran also knew that Sima Hui's willingness to come to Yanzhou from Yingchuan to serve as teachers for them must have caught most of the wealthy families by surprise.

Because of Sima Hui's qualifications and connections, it is absolutely impossible for him to submit to Cao Cao's orders or be recruited.

His willingness to be a teacher can only show that Sima Hui himself is optimistic about Cao Cao and Yanzhou. The consequences of such a statement are definitely not what the local aristocratic family wants to see.

Under Cao Ying's strict defense, nothing happened to the library.In fact, more or less because of the collection of books in the library, it has been subdivided into many categories, and some of them are considered to be playthings.

Over time, seeing that the library had not created any big disturbances except for adding a good reputation to Cao Cao, the aristocratic family relaxed their vigilance, but the school was different.As I said before, public schools in the Han Dynasty were entirely up to local officials to decide whether they needed to be established, and the state would not provide subsidies, let alone mandatory tasks.

Therefore, most officials, with the mentality that more things are worse than less things, will not do such a thankless thing. Only a few officials, except for some, really care about the hearts of the people. The local aristocratic family takes the lead, that is to say, many public schools, in themselves, are places for the aristocratic families to cultivate talents.

Of course, this is not to say that the aristocratic family is forcing these students to surrender to them, but these students, after receiving such favors, will naturally remember this favor in their hearts.Even if you don't obey your words on weekdays, within the controllable range of the rules, you will definitely give some water to the aristocratic family.

Then, will Cao Mengde allow them to win people's hearts like this?There is no need to ask for this answer, the aristocratic family also knows it.

In Zhong Yao's words, the aristocratic family has ridiculed them several times in private because of their school's delay in opening a few days ago. Now, the school suddenly opened and a great Confucian was introduced. Just in the face of the aristocratic family?

At this time, one must not wait for the aristocratic family to react, otherwise this good thing is very likely to be disturbed.

Zhong Yao said to Xia Anran, no matter when, don't underestimate your enemy's ability to respond.

He himself is the Yingchuan family, and he knows better than anyone what the family will do when its status is threatened.

Therefore, he suggested that Xia Anran marching troops is a quick move, first implement everything, and don't give the aristocratic family too much time to think about it.

At the same time, it can also divert people's attention from the locusts and drought, so that people can get busy.

But what Zhong Yao said was just a suggestion. Xia Anran, as the highest leader in the entire Changyi City at this time, this time, only he can make a decision.

Their biggest advantage now is that the aristocratic family thinks that Xia Anran will wait until Cao Cao comes back, so they can make a time difference.

If Zhong Yao expected it to be right.Now the rich and powerful families in Yanzhou, I'm afraid they are getting together in a leisurely way.Xia Anran adopted Zhong Yao's suggestion.Even, what he did was even more extreme.

This one, who has just reached the age of Guan Guan, is still a yellow-mouthed child in the eyes of the aristocratic family, and Xia Jingxi, who is not seen by the aristocratic family, directly ordered people to start the construction, but in just two days, it was the Double Ninth Festival. The Yanzhou Public School was officially listed, and Xia Anran, as the principal of Yanzhou, unveiled the nameplate for it.

Since then, China's first school that teaches students according to their aptitude and divides the grades of attendance has been officially established.

Cao Cao in Hongnong County.Just received the letter from the rear, he quickly scanned it, and then showed a smile.

Then he gave the whole piece of paper to Cao Chun who was standing beside him. There is no doubt that his younger brother wanted to know the news about Xia Anran very much. After reading this letter, he was inevitably a little surprised, but more, But it is born of pride.

His little counselor is extremely intelligent, and what's more rare is that he has a pure heart, but his mouth is soft and his heart is soft, so he inevitably loses a little bit of determination and a little bit of drive in doing things.

Cao Cao has always been aware of his problem, but knowing it is known, but everyone is indulging in his little problem.

Ahem, although everyone knows in their hearts that pampering is not good, but I don't know why no one is willing to teach them ruthlessly.

This time was a surprise, Cao Cao thought with some joy, he felt that his decision was completely correct, didn't Jingxi, a smart kid, have made progress?Wen Ruo is just too anxious. It is not a good thing to encourage the growth of seedlings. It is as serious as he said.

He rubbed his hands, and was waiting to look at Cao Chun to see his reaction, when Cao Chun finished reading the letter, folded the letter without a word, and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

Cao Cao's eyes widened when he saw this, and his beard was about to fly off. He suppressed his temper and said to him as tactfully as possible, "Zihe, this is the military report."

Cao Zihe's face was calm, and his tone was taken for granted, "Chun knows it, and Chun will destroy it when he gets out."

Also destroyed?

Cao Cao was even more angry, he raised his hand and nodded at Cao Chun, but this was his younger brother, who sold his property to raise money for the army when he had nothing, and came to join him, and then followed him through countless swords and fires, protecting his life with his life from younger brother.

No matter what, Cao Cao couldn't swear harsh words at him, he just held back and continued blowing his beard and staring. Cao Chun glanced at him, as if he disliked his ugly appearance, so he averted his eyes as if nothing had happened.

Cao Cao was even angrier when he saw this, but what can he do, his younger brother has begged him for this matter all his life, what can he do! !It can only be regarded as not knowing and directly stating that he will not interfere but does not support it.

But then he pinched his nose and arranged for someone next door.

He originally thought that Cao Chun would run into a wall with Xia Anran, because Xia Anran had an indifferent appearance, and he didn't understand at first glance, and he was even more polite to the ladies who made it clear that they had a crush on him. Men in the Eastern Han Dynasty got married The age is generally after the crown.How could he know that Xia Anran really got mixed up with his younger brother like this!

How should he explain this to the Lu family, Xia Anran is the only seedling of the Xia family!

Ouch, I'm so sad.

On the contrary, Cao Chun was very calm about it. After being beaten up by Cao Cao, he had the cheek to never hide it again. The appearance of "you are the big brother and you have to make decisions for me" made Cao Cao very angry. Your dear The eldest brother is called Cao Ren, not me Cao Cao!

So what can we do? Cao Cao was full of reluctance, but he could only hold his nose and bear it. He had to pretend to be stupid and pretended he didn't know anything. Everyone knows it.

But even if everyone knew about it, it couldn't be said clearly.

While he was staring at Cao Chun, who was sitting upright drinking tea, he was silently lucky, suddenly a soldier came to report, as if he had discovered the little emperor's whereabouts.

After Cao Cao got the news, he searched all the way west from Luoyang. Because the Little Yellow Gate and the Little Emperor separated early, it was difficult for him to estimate the Little Emperor's footsteps. After all, the Little Emperor had no horses and had to hide from the pursuers. A rough estimate is the distance between Chang'an and Luoyang between the little emperor and Luoyang.

Cao Cao had no choice but to send people to search for it along the official road, and clear the bandits along the way, fearing that someone who had no eyes would tie up the little emperor.

Such an act of fanfare naturally attracted Henan Yin's attention, but Cao Cao had the holy order in hand. Although Henan Yin found it tricky, he had to hold his nose and bear it. Now they are finding Huayin County at the foot of Huashan Mountain. The complex, with its rolling hills, is a great place to hide.

And not far away is Tongguan, which is strictly searched. According to Xiao Huangmen, His Majesty did not bring a disk book when he fled, so he could not prove his identity, so it was naturally difficult to enter this pass.

According to Cao Cao's guess, if the little emperor can really escape, then the possibility of staying here is the greatest.

He also asked the gatekeepers if there were any young men or young ladies coming in and out recently. Although the soldiers could not give him a definite answer, it was certain that no young boy without a book was put in.

Cao Cao had no choice but to send out soldiers to search for it. Now that he found a suspected existence, he immediately forgot about the entanglement just now. Compared with his bad brother, the safety of His Majesty is more important at this time.

Cao Cao is on his way to develop Yanzhou Yuzhou with all his heart. It is not enough to say how much he has deep feelings for the little emperor. After all, the two met only once, but he still came to find someone.

Not only because the little emperor is the only blood of Lingdi, but also because of the little emperor's courage and strategy this time, as well as his patience in the early stage to achieve this goal.

For a child who has not yet danced a spoon, it is already extremely remarkable.

As expected of Emperor Guangwu.

He straightened his sleeves, stepped out of the tent, and let the soldiers lead the way.

Liu Xie was sitting in the hall of an abandoned temple at the moment, although he was sitting upright, his small face was pale.

He clenched his small fist tightly, not showing it on the face, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.

There were delicious noodles in front of him, which were cooked for him by a few soldiers guarding the door, but he didn't want to eat a bite.

He finally managed to escape here, but he was still discovered unexpectedly.

A few heartfelt eunuchs stood in front of him. They were already crumbling with hunger, and had survived by gnawing bark until now, but when they were found by soldiers, they resolutely blocked him with their skinny hands.

The little shoes that Liu Xie sat under had several holes. As an emperor, his clothes were exquisite and luxurious, but they were not durable. After walking for less than a day, the soles of the shoes were broken. Now he has had a few blisters, and a eunuch who took care of him from a young age was very distressed, and advised him to let it go, even if he was held hostage, when Li Que and Guo Si returned to Luoyang, there might be loyal ministers Liang will come to the rescue.

But Liu Xie did not.

He wrapped the blistered place with cloth, forced himself to walk over step by step, and also forced himself to eat the bitter leaves one by one.

He was not reconciled.

If he doesn't fight, he won't be reconciled.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he was still found now.

The soldiers standing in front of the gate were tall and burly, relying on a few of them would definitely not be able to rush out. Seeing that they were so hungry, these soldiers gestured to them for a long time, but they couldn't understand their words, so they took water , Cooked noodles for Liu Xie and others, but Liu Xie resolutely refused to eat.

The soldiers had no choice but to show themselves their military flags with Chinese characters, Liu Xie sneered.

He felt that he had been useless for a long time, and he didn't expect to have a good result in this escape.

Forget it if you starve to death, even if you starve to death, you don't want to eat this cheap food.

The army flag with Chinese characters, it is ridiculous that the soldiers at the head of the army flag with Chinese characters all voted for thieves.

He looked coldly at a few soldiers guarding the door, and someone rode away to report the message, and just closed his eyes and waited silently.

I don't know which one came.

Before he left, Li Que and Guo Si were fighting each other, and I don't know which one won.

It would be nice if both sides were hurt.

He didn't like either of these two people. When he was in Chang'an City, he heard that these two people, like Dong Zhuo, had harmed many people in Chang'an.

Such a person, what kind of mighty general do you want to command the three armies?

Liu Xie was already very tired.

He hadn't slept well for three or four days.

His feet hurt, his stomach hurt, even his hands hurt, and there were scratches on his face.

But he felt that he couldn't be weak at this time.

If not, if not all of their weapons were broken when fighting against a pack of wolves a few days ago... Maybe, maybe at this moment, he could still give himself a knife.

If he died here, the two of them would have a hard time, and someone would definitely avenge him.

It doesn't matter whether those people are avenging me or just looking for an excuse.

Perhaps they will soon support a well-controlled collateral branch of the Liu family as this puppet.

What a bunch of cowards, who really want this supreme authority, why don't they dare to rebel directly, and why do they have to cover it with a fig leaf?The throne of the world is reserved for those who can.

Not to mention other things, just say that Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor directly... he was considered courageous.

Liu Xie's little mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts, illogical, and he just passed the time through these random thoughts, and by the way, numb his sense of pain.

After a while, he heard the sound of horseshoes galloping.

coming.

Liu Xie straightened his body, and the wobbly little Huangmen immediately straightened up.

Then he heard a loud male voice coming from outside, using the correct Mandarin, "The minister is Cao Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou. Please come to pick him up."

In an instant, an extremely sour emotion surged into the young boy's heart, the circles of his eyes suddenly turned sour, and he was a little dazed.

But there was a sentence in the mind repeatedly - Cao Aiqing, it's really here.

Just as he promised, he really came!

He was finally, safe.

He took a deep breath, his voice was dry and hoarse, he forced himself to say the words one by one, "Cao Aiqing, please come in."

Then he saw the soldiers outside the door step aside, and a tall figure entered against the light. He was dressed in armor and knelt in front of him, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of being late for rescue."

"Cao Aiqing has meritorious service and is not guilty." The child paused to say every word, and finally he endured it, and said in a trembling voice, "Cao Aiqing came to find me, I am very happy."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then raised his face, and saw the 13-year-old little emperor whose cheeks were sunken with hunger. Seeing the red circles under his eyes at this moment, his heart softened a little, thinking that the little emperor must have had a hard time these days , paused, and still said something that if someone else heard him, they would definitely reprimand him for overstepping the distance.

"Your Majesty, you've done a good job." He kowtowed, "It's a minister who is incompetent."

Because of this sentence, the tears that the little emperor held back for a long time finally fell down.

He stood up staggeringly, endured the pain in his feet, and walked in front of Cao Cao.

He is not very old, but standing in front of Cao Cao is slightly taller than him.

Liu Xie stretched out his hands full of small wounds to help Cao Cao up, and then stood with his hands down, his eyes that had just shed tears were shining.

"I remember Cao Aiqing's words."

He took every word.

"Across the void, the mountains, rivers and earth can't wait for time, but they can wait for me."

Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard the words, and continued the next sentence

"Standing up for a long time, there is no basis for the past, past and present, but only the present."

He bowed to the little emperor to the end, "Your Majesty, you are smart."

The author has something to say: the last two sentences are from Yang Changji's "Admonition to Students", "I tasted and said: across the void, mountains, rivers and earth, there is nothing to rely on, but only me; stand up for a long time, past and present , there is no basis for it, but only the present.”

The meaning is roughly that there is nothing to rely on in the mountains, rivers and land, and only myself can be relied on. All the knowledge in history cannot prove that this is 100% correct. It must be analyzed and thought in conjunction with your current situation.

That’s probably what it means. It is said that everyone’s understanding of this sentence is different at different times, especially the two words “抱” and “投” can be understood with different interpretations.

For example, Mao=Grandpa (this Mr. Yang Changji is Mao=Grandpa’s mentor and the father of Mao=Grandpa’s wife Yang Kaihui)’s understanding is: I am the one who can change the world, and theory must be combined with reality.Yes, it is the source of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The author saw this sentence by accident, and felt... my mother, she is so handsome, so handsome!The momentum is super grand! !

This is what Cao Cao wrote on the glutinous rice paper to the little emperor before.It was a foreshadowing from a long, long time ago.

What he meant was, Your Majesty, you have to rely on yourself, and you have to analyze the specific situation... Opportunities are for those who are prepared.It is almost similar to the meaning of "heaven saves himself".

So the little emperor tried to kill Dong Zhuo by himself.

And now the little emperor also managed to escape by himself.

In history, the little emperor also escaped by himself, but it was mainly passive, that is, others told him "shall we escape?"

Emperor Xian is actually very smart. He has been smart since he was a child. Whether it is Dong Zhuo, Li Que or Guo Si, he has actually resisted several times. Goods) Even if he met Cao Cao, he did not resist, but he failed. (See Yidai Zhao) If it wasn't for man's calculation, it's better for heaven's calculation, then Liu Bei was sent out at that time, and I reckon there is still a chance of success.

In fact, I personally like this kind of emperor whose life is more than resistance.

It's better than the kind of alliance with foreign races for the purpose of stabilizing the political power.

If you think about it carefully, if this girl hadn't met Cao Cao's level of monsters, she might be the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shenzong of Ming Dynasty, and Yingzong.

But because of the glutinous rice paper, the little emperor was woken up.

Well, the future will be different~
