Taixue in the Eastern Han Empire has always been a hotbed for the growth of officials' children.

The children of the common people have to be fifty years old to have the opportunity to travel in Taixue, while the children of official families can study in Taixue when they are in their teens and twenties.

Taixue mainly faces the children of high-ranking officials, the children of the emperor's relatives, and the children of nobles.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taixue was still a well-deserved supreme institution, but with the passage of time, with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the huge power of local scholars, the quality of Taixue students also deteriorated.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, especially in the past few years, many of the children of the scholar clan would not enter Taixue, and they were not uncommon to learn Taixue, because they basically had a family education that was more excellent and elite than Taixue.

For them, the teachers of Taixue are not as good as their ethnicity, so they naturally will not go to Taixue.

After completing the study, he will be crowned and married, and before the age of 20, he will go to Yuedan to ask for an evaluation and make a name, and then everyone will connect with each other to raise a filial piety, and you can go to Luoyang to be an official and start the road to official career.

Of course, it is not that no children of the scholar clan will enter Taixue to study, but very few.

As for those high-ranking officials and noble children, they don't want to study hard at all, most of them just go to order, sign in to show that they have come, and then - "eat and leave".

These four words are recorded in the history books to mock those students in the late Han and early Wei dynasties, and they are really quite vivid.

Get up on the three poles of the day, get dressed and wash, go to the Taixue School to order a meal, and then wait for the free lunch, and leave after lunch, and go to have fun.

The exploits of the ancestors who worked hard to earn provided them with such good learning conditions, but they only cultivated a group of wine bags and rice bags.

I was blind to the excellent setting of the fourteenth doctor in Taixue and such good teaching conditions.

Guo Peng believes that the teaching conditions in Taixue are very good even if they are put in modern times, except that there are no modern appliances, there are really a lot of things that can be learned, and the key is to see if you want to learn.

The degree of freedom in Taixue is higher than that of today's universities, so it is really a test of personal will and character.

Of course, the children of the powerful are willing to fall, but the same opportunity is sent to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng will not waste it.

Not to mention the opportunity to learn too much, he had not wasted time before this.

He studied hard, tried hard to integrate what he had learned and seen, constantly improved himself, and in order to enhance his ability to survive, he worked hard to learn martial arts, and even followed Cao Ren and Cao Hong to learn the skills of riding horses and striking on horses.

Not to mention becoming a martial arts general, at least, you must have a certain ability to protect yourself.

Time passed slowly, and in May, Guo Dan and Guo Peng learned that Cao Song was working for him in the imperial court to become a boy boy.

The reason for worshipping him as a boy is Zhao Jian, the scholar of Shangshutai, and the reason for worshipping him as a boy is "to know the Confucian scriptures and be pure filial piety".

It seems that Guo Peng's reputation of "pure filial piety" has spread to Luoyang, and this wave of public relations operations has been very successful.

The specific content and process Guo Peng is not clear, but looking at Guo Dan's excited expression, he knows that the price paid by Cao Song in this matter is definitely not low.

With his actual status, it is estimated that a lot of blood has been involved in trying to accomplish this.

Maybe the effort here is not necessarily higher than that of Cao Cao's successful filial piety, but it is definitely not low.

The big thing has been decided, Cao Song brought a letter from the trustee of Luoyang, telling Guo Peng what to do next, telling him how to prepare some necessary things, some necessary daily necessities, and then there are test questions and spare answers to be asked in court.

Guo Peng looked at the questions and answers prepared for entering Taixue, and was indeed a little depressed.

It's a game of open play.

Cao Song also said that as long as he brought some things that he was used to, he would buy everything for Guo Peng in Luoyang.

Guo Peng entered Taixue and had a separate room to live in, and he could bring some entourage, and others such as money and the like did not need to be carried by himself at all.

I have money!

Between the words, there is a great sense that Guo Peng's road to study in Luoyang will be contracted by him, and the true colors of the local tyrant can be seen at a glance.

Maybe in front of Guo Peng, he feels that he can only get money.

But that's okay, Guo Dan himself was worried that it would be inconvenient to give too much money for Guo Peng to carry, and he was worried about the robbers on the way, with Cao Song's guarantee, Guo Dan was relieved to prepare a box of about twenty catties of gold for Guo Peng, and let him take it in case of emergency.

"Although your father-in-law is willing to bear all your expenses, but Xiao Yi, when a man goes out, it is not good to press the things at the bottom of the box, you keep these twenty catties of gold for backup, in case of emergency, everyone has a time when they need it."

Guo Shan warned Guo Peng like this, and prepared some things for him to need, and even a few daggers and a few swords, as well as a bow and some arrows.

"You have been practicing martial arts since childhood, these things are naturally useful for you to bring on the road, the Cao family will send someone to escort you to Luoyang, after you go to Luoyang, be careful in everything, don't stand out after entering Taixue, act in a low-key manner, study carefully, study carefully, and try not to get involved in external things before you are crowned."

Guo Shan did not forget to tell Guo Peng not to get involved in some things that seemed to be very lively.

However, this also makes sense, in ancient times, men had to get the table word after the crown ceremony, tie their hair and crown it, and then it was convenient to participate in formal social activities with the table word.

The children of the scholar clan who do not have a hair tie and a crown and no expression should not go to socialize, they cannot drink, and they will not take you to play.

In the three years before the crown, Guo Peng needed to study hard and try to learn as much as possible in Taixue.

Guo Dan believes that with Guo Peng's talent, he must be able to learn a lot of things, at least much stronger than the wine bags and rice bags in Taixue.

After the news was delivered, Guo Peng was about to set off soon, and it was only half a month before and after the preparation.

On the day of Guo Peng's departure, the Cao family sent thirty guards, plus three carriages, and packed Guo Peng with large bags and small bags I don't know how much.

Guo Peng felt that he was not going to Taixue to study, but to move.

Cao Yin was the representative, and the things he instructed Guo Peng were more and more detailed than what Guo Shan had instructed, and those who didn't know thought he was his own father, and Guo Dan was not the same.

After Cao Yin finished saying a bunch of words, a group of friends from the Cao family and the Xiahou family came over to send a parting message to Guo Peng.

"Big brother, if there is a need in the future, even if you send a letter, as soon as you send a letter, I will immediately rush to Luoyang, if you are bullied by someone in Luoyang, I will immediately take the whole family to support you!"

Cao Ren's face was full of fierceness, clenched his fists, and declared his righteousness to Guo Peng.

"Hold you back!!"

Cao Chun is still a typical fart worm, so he knows how to repeat Cao Ren's words.

"Big brother, I'll help you too!"

Cao Hong and Cao De also followed suit, and at this time, it seemed that it was enough to express their position.

Xiahou Yuan was even more desperate, took out a knife and said, "Xiao Yi, don't worry, whoever dares to embarrass you, I will go down with a knife, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, if something happens, I will bear it!" Don't worry!'

The face is full of courage and ruthlessness, and he doesn't care about human life, but it is the norm in this era.

In the Han Dynasty, where the "heroes" who killed people without saying a word, human life seemed to be really nothing, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has always been like this.

At the age of fourteen, Xiahoudun killed someone because others insulted his teacher.

Guan Yu was forced to abscond from Youzhou because he killed people in his hometown in Hedong, and only then did he have the opportunity to meet Liu Bei.

Xu Shu killed someone to avenge his friend, and only after he was released from prison did he reform and start studying......

Turning over the history from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, those people with great fame or even good seem to be killing people.

If you die, you die, if you kill, you will kill, if you kill someone, you will die, if you kill, you will die, if you kill, you will die, if you kill, you will die, if you kill, you will die, you will die, you will die,

Walking the rivers and lakes seems to rely on righteousness, and there is no law or rules in his eyes.

It may be that the era of great revenge has not passed for too long, and the era of heroism is still preserved in people's memory, and this is the social atmosphere at this time.

In the eyes of the murderer, killing seems to be an easy thing to do, and killing for the sake of righteousness has almost become politically correct.

Modern people can't imagine the attitude towards murder at that time.

There are thousands of reasons to kill, there are no consequences at all, the enforcement of the law is also very problematic, and the absconding of a murderer is an easy thing to do, and it is often not done.

In such an environment, Guo Peng has been exposed to it since he was a child, and subtly, he not only practiced martial arts, but also infected with some brave and ruthless habits.

Guo Peng not only has martial arts, but also dares to fight with others, making good use of swords and guns, and his prestige among the small characters of the Cao family's Xiahou family is not only earned by kicking Xu Shao's buttocks.

That's really part of the reason, but when he was young, what Guo Peng often led the clan children of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan to fight with other clan children was not completely useless.

And for the sake of reputation, it is not a strange thing to meet others with swords and soldiers, and not to give up if you don't fight to the death.

I said a final goodbye to a group of friends, and agreed that after Guo Peng arrived in Luoyang, he would write a letter back to tell them some interesting things, and buy some new things to send back to them, and then everyone would say goodbye.

Because the friends were reluctant to let Guo Peng leave, they sent each other for several miles, farther than Guo Dan's send, and they couldn't see the county seat of Qiaoxian County, and under Guo Peng's persuasion, they turned home in a daze.

After they returned, Guo Peng took the five personal guards of Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, and thirty Cao Clan's guards before he really embarked on the road of advancement, but he didn't take a few steps before he stopped again.

A richly decorated carriage pulled up on the side of the road ahead, and an old servant walked slowly.

This is an old servant of the Cao family, Guo Peng recognizes.

"Dalang, please stay for a while, someone wants to see you."

The old servant gave Guo Peng a very ambiguous look, Guo Peng frowned slightly, and immediately understood what this look meant.

"You go slowly, and I'll catch up in a moment."

Guo Peng said this to his entourage, and the entourage immediately did so, and the group slowly left.
