The Imperial College of the Eastern Han Dynasty has always been a hotbed for the growth of officials' children.
Common people's children have to be thirty or fifty years old before they have the opportunity to travel to Taixue, while officials' children can study in Taixue when they are in their teens or twenties.
The Imperial College mainly faces the children of emperors, relatives of the emperor and nobles, not to mention the children of the fourth generation and three princes, and the Yuan family.
In the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taixue was still the undisputed highest institution of learning.
But as time went by, with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the growing power of the local gentry, the quality of the imperial students also deteriorated.
By the end of the Han Dynasty, especially after the years of the party's imprisonment, many children of the gentry would not enter Taixue. They did not care about Taixue, because they basically had it. They were better than Taixue, and had elite family education. .
For them, the teachers at Taixue are not as good as their family schools, so naturally they will not go to Taixue. For example, the Yuan family has its own private school.
After completing the studies, they will be crowned and married. Before the age of twenty, they will be judged on the first day of the month to seek evaluation and make a name for themselves. Then everyone will connect with each other and express filial piety.
Then you can go to Luoyang to become an official and start your official career.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no children of noble families who will enter the Imperial Academy to study, but there are very few because there is a huge gap between the noble families and the Ling Emperor.
As for those honorable disciples, they don’t even think about studying hard. Most of them just go to Dianmao and sign in to show that they have been there.
Then - "Retire after being full".
These four words are recorded in history books. They mocked those imperial students in the late Han Dynasty and early Wei Dynasty. They are really quite vivid.
Get up in the morning, put on clothes, wash up, go to Taixue Academy to order a meal, then wait for the free lunch, and leave after lunch.
Then, he went to have fun, which Yuan Xi also did, but with relative restraint.
The merits earned by our ancestors through hard work provided them with such good learning conditions, but they only cultivated a bunch of losers, which is sad.
The excellent facilities of the Fourteenth Doctor and such good teaching conditions in Taixue were in vain. The teaching conditions in Taixue, even in modern times.
They are all very good. Apart from the lack of modern equipment, there are really a lot of things you can learn. The key is whether you want to learn or not.
The degree of freedom in Taixue is higher than that in current universities, so it is really a test of personal will and character. Yuan Xi is half an alternative.
Of course, the other children of powerful people surrendered, but when the same opportunity was given to Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi would not waste it, because he had great intentions.
Therefore, Yuan Xi attended the Yuan family's private school, and also studied with the prince in the palace. When he had time, he went to Taixue to report, so he was half an alternative.
He studied hard, worked hard to integrate what he had learned and seen, and constantly improved himself in order to enhance his ability to survive. ap.
At the same time, he also worked hard to learn martial arts, learned swordsmanship from Wang Yue, and even learned horse riding and the ability to hit Shuo on horseback with Cao Ang and others.
Not to mention becoming a powerful military commander, at least you must have a certain ability to protect yourself. After all, what is coming next is a chaotic world of cannibalism.
Time passed slowly like this. When he was in Taixue, Yuan Wei worked for his precious grandson in the court and became a young boy.
The person who worshiped him as a boy was from the Shangshutai, and the minister Zhao Jian was a disciple of the Yuan family. The reason for worshiping him as a boy was that he was "well versed in Confucian classics and a pure and filial man."
In this way, Yuan Xi's reputation of "pure filial piety" spread in Luoyang. This wave of public relations operations was very successful. The same was true for his father Yuan Shao before he became an official.
Yuan Xi didn't know the specific content and process, but looking at his grandfather's excited expression, he knew that the price Yuan Wei paid for this matter was definitely not low.
During the period when Shi Changshi was in charge of the country, given Yuan Wei's actual status, he probably spent a lot of blood to get this thing done. Perhaps the effort involved here may not necessarily be higher than allowing Yuan Shao to successfully promote filial piety and incorruption, but Definitely not low.
After all, the essence of politics is a transactional game.
