Yan Sheng Academy is an academy founded by Yan Hui, one of the seventy-two descendants of Confucius, and it covers the entire Tianyuan Continent.
It is rumored that when Yan Yasheng was alive, he always implemented the educational philosophy of "education without distinction". Different from the strict admissions standards of other colleges, only Yan Sheng Academy would recruit disciples of secular dignitaries. This is why Yan Sheng Academy was established in Zhongzhou City. s reason.
In the Sage Pavilion, Gongsun Cuo was sitting on a chair, talking to a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi sitting on the main seat. The middle-aged man's attitude towards Gongsun Cuo showed a little respect, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you want?" Let the son of a sinner enter our Yan Sheng Academy?"
Gongsun Cuo had a hint of helplessness in his eyes and said, "What is a sinner? Everyone has their own views on the world. You cannot condemn Qi Bai as a sinner just because some of his views have nothing to do with Confucius Sheng."
"Confucius is the most holy teacher, so he can naturally tolerate different views. However, at that time, he not only denied Confucius's theory of 'education without distinction', but also caricatured it as 'imbalance'. He also wanted to make ordinary people The idea that women should study in academies is completely contrary to this world."
"Not to mention, he even linked up with the scholars of Confucius and Saints Academy in an attempt to use the power of Confucius and Saints Academy to overturn this conclusion. Isn't such a person a sinner?"
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Cuo's eyes obviously dimmed a lot. It was obvious that the middle-aged man's words also touched Gongsun Cuo's heart.
In this era, only men had access to literature. Most women mainly received a kind of survival education, that is, skills education and moral education, among which moral education was the main one.
Only the daughters of truly powerful nobles have the opportunity to come into contact with them.
This is an idea that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has been deeply rooted in everyone's thinking. Even Gongsun Cuo believed that what Ci Qibai did was a wrong thing.
Ci Qibai's behavior has touched the bottom line in this world.
Etiquette, law, punishment and government, etiquette cannot be extended to common people, punishment cannot be extended to officials, and women are not subject to culture and education. These are the rules of this world.
The middle-aged man saw that Gongsun Cuo was silent and did not continue the topic. He said: "Mr. Gongsun, Yan Sheng Academy has been open for a hundred years. If you really want to admit the son of a sinner, I will not give you any privileges. If he If you want to enter the academy,
You must follow the normal admission process and take the entrance examination of Gan Sheng College like other students. I believe that if he is really talented, even if his father is a sinner, he can still enter the academy. Our college advocates true 'education without distinction', and we will accept even the sons of sinners! "
Gongsun Cuo's eyes flashed and he sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that these people were still angry because of Ci Qibai's actions. Seeing his determined look, Gongsun Cuo knew that he was serious this time. I can't persuade him anymore.
…
A few days later, the excitement in Zhongzhou City was about to reach the annual lantern festival, because today was the enrollment day for Yan Sheng Academy, which is located in the east of Zhongzhou City.
Although it is called "Academy", its scale is actually more like a small independent city than a city. It is said that it covers an area of one million square meters.
In this academy, there are the most top teachers in Tianyuan Continent, as well as the strength that can influence the entire Zhongzhou City and even the entire Tianyuan Continent.
At this time, Ci Song came to the east of the city alone and began to find opportunities to walk towards the gate of the college. This place was already surrounded by many carriages and the originally huge streets were blocked. This reminded Ci Song of the traffic jam when he was in school. Scenes.
But compared to here, that university is obviously too small, and that university enrolls a lot of people. In comparison, here is the real competition.
In front of Ci Song is a trafficker and a pawn, and behind him is a well-dressed young man. Although the young man is well-dressed, his appearance is very ordinary, and his face is slightly pockmarked, making him look a bit wretched.
"It is said that Yan Sheng Academy will only admit a hundred people this time?" the wretched young man asked the trafficker next to Ci Song. "probably."
The trafficker said, "It is said that only a hundred people were recruited last year. Now there are more and more dignitaries in Zhongzhou City. Many nobles want to send their children to this academy to study. Young Master, you must do this this time." able to successfully enter.”
"That's natural." The wretched young man said with a smile, "Last year when I was recruiting students, if I hadn't been unwell and suddenly suffered from dysentery, I would have become a member of Yan Sheng Academy."
"That's right." The trafficker said proudly.
When Ci Song heard this, he couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face. The young man's posture when he spoke seemed to be the posture of trying to find reasons for himself when he failed in the exam.
He did not stay because he came here alone. He quickly passed through the crowded carriage area and came to the gate of Yan Sheng Academy. At the gate, there were statues of Kong Sheng and Yan Sheng.
Standing tall, the two statues are lifelike. Although they are still, Ci Song felt the majesty of Kong Sheng and Yan Sheng from these two statues.
This gate is very large, several meters high and several meters wide. It is made of blue stone, giving people a solemn and simple feeling.
On both sides of the gate, there were dozens of guards wearing armor. Although these guards did not reveal any aura, Ci Song could feel the murderous aura on their bodies.
In front of these people, Ci Song had no doubt that if anyone dared to break in, these guards would immediately kill the person who dared to break in.
In the middle of the gate was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. This middle-aged man had no expression on his face and just stared at the crowd in front of him quietly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Next to the middle-aged man, there are some men dressed as scribes. Although these people look gentle and quiet, who can be a deacon in Yan Sheng Academy?
On the left side of the gate, there is a wooden sign with several large characters written on it: "Yansheng Academy". There was already a long queue, and it was already afternoon when it was Ci Song's turn.
"I'm here to sign up." Ci Song stepped forward and bowed his hands to the several literati present.
One of the young men looked Ci Song up and down, with a hint of impatience on his face, and said, "Is there an invitation?"
"Invitation?" Ci Song was stunned for a moment.
The young man frowned and said angrily: "If you are not a noble disciple, just pay five hundred taels of gold and enter the courtyard to start the exam."
Five hundred taels of gold? Hearing this number, Ci Song couldn't help but frown, why is it so expensive?
. . . . . .
