In the afternoon, when Xuan Shijing rode to the academy, he saw a few scholars wandering outside the academy, got off the horse, and led the horses to the side gate of the academy.

"This brother." The scholar outside saw that Xuan Shijing was directly leading the horse to that side, walked quickly to Xuan Shijing's side, and arched his hand and said, "This brother Tai is also from the name of Mu Xiao Xianggong and Gao Xianggong." ”

Xuan Shijing stopped his pace and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Brother Tai, don't rush into the academy, and wait outside honestly, this academy does not allow us outsiders to enter, for fear of disturbing the two ministers' lectures." The man said.

The scholars waiting at the gate of the academy also knew the etiquette.

"You all want to see each other?" Xuan Shijing asked: "I am a person from this Zhuangzi, why are there so many more scholars in the Zhuangzi recently?" ”

"Exactly, brother, it's time for spring next year." The scholar responded to Xuan Shijing: "I came to Chang'an more than half a year in advance, and I also wanted to come to Chang'an while waiting for next year's Spring Festival, and I wanted to study in Chang'an, but we couldn't enter the country's prison, after all, it was an official school, and I heard the people of Chang'an City say that this Dongshan County Mingde Academy is a folk school, and there are Xiao Xianggong and Gao Xianggong lecturing in the academy. ”

"The people who study in this academy are all children from Zhuangzi, and the two ministers Xiao Yu and Gao Jian are just talking about some superficial knowledge here." Xuan Shijing said: "You learned these things when you first started studying, so even if you enter this academy, it is useless, and the two ministers will not leave those children alone and give you a lecture because you are going to break into the spring next year." ”

"However, since it is a lecture, it is also accessible to everyone, and I will take the big exam next year, and there is not much time left for us, and those children, there is still time in the future......."

"What's your name?" Xuan Shijing looked at the scholar who spoke just now, his face was not very good.

"Under Yanggao." The scholar arched his hand and said.

"What you just said is what you have in mind, right? If that's the case, you don't have to participate in next year's Spring Festival, no matter how talented you are, the court won't use you. Xuan Shijing laughed coldly.

"This brother, whether he can be hired by the court or not, is the final say of the court, not the brother, you have the final say, if you pass the Jinshi examination, enter the palace, and participate in the palace examination, even if you don't have the top three, you will have an official and a half-job." Yang Gao said, just in tone, not as kind as before, because what Xuan Shijing said was really sarcastic about him.

"Every year, the entire Tang Dynasty goes to Chang'an, the capital of the country, to participate in the spring festival of the scholars, such as the carp who crosses the river, in addition to their own hard work to take the exam to Chang'an, there is also a recommendation from the state capital, or to Chang'an Daguanxun's mansion to invest in the bank, Lin Lin finally came down, the people who participated in the spring festival, thousands, and in the end, they can go to the palace to participate in the palace examination, there are only twenty or thirty, brother Tai is really confident that he can go to the palace examination?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

"Whether you succeed or not, you have to try." Yang Gao said.

"Yes, whether you succeed or not, you have to try." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "How you are, I won't comment now, if you really become an official in the future, but you are still so temperamental, then there will be a contest between you and me." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "If you like to wait here, then keep waiting, as long as you don't disturb the normal classes of the people in the academy, no one will rush you." ”

"Brother, you." The previous scholar who talked to Xuan Shijing heard Xuan Shijing say this, half of them were surprised by what Xuan Shijing said, and they were generally surprised by Xuan Shijing's attitude.

Listening to the movement outside, the gatehouse of the academy also came out of the side door, and saw Xuan Shijing leading the horse and standing outside the academy talking to these scholars outside the academy, and hurriedly walked out and took the reins from Xuan Shijing's hand.

"Grandpa, why don't you support the old man when you come over." The porter happily welcomed Xuan Shijing into the academy and led the horse around the backyard.

"What did the porter call him? Grandpa? Yang Gao looked at the scholar beside him and asked.

"Grandpa....... Looking at his age, I am afraid that he is the crown prince Zhan Shixuan Shijing, who has just recently entered the title of the prince of Jinyang County. The man said, "He is also the owner of this fief in Dongshan County." ”

After knowing Xuan Shijing's identity, Yang Gaoleng was on the spot, how did he talk to Xuan Shijing just now...... Also, Xuan Shijing said that his character is not suitable for entering the court, which means that he will prevent himself from participating in the Spring Festival.

Yang Gao also thinks too much, Xuan Shijing is not as concerned about him as he thinks, unless his height is on the same level as Xuan Shijing, he will not appear in Xuan Shijing's eyes in the future, as for whether he participates in the Spring Festival, Xuan Shijing will not care so much.

It's uncertain whether this person can be selected for the Spring Festival, but he said a lot of big things first.

"Brother Tai said these words to Xuangong today, I am afraid that he will offend Xuangong before he enters the office." The scholar said: "It's just that I look at Xuan Gong's extraordinary bearing, and I won't worry about such trivial things, just Xuan Gong's words, Brother Tai should do it himself." ”

After finishing speaking, the scholar arched his hand at Yang Gao: "Let's go, if we wait here today, there will be no result." Then he left the gate of Mingde College with his two servants.

After Xuan Shijing entered the academy, he did not go to the school to listen to the lectures, but came to the study of the academy and met Gao Shilian in the study.

Gao Shilian saw Xuan Shijing come in, and said with a smile: "Why didn't Shijing go to the school to listen to the class today?" ”

"The students saw a lot of scholars at the gate of the academy, and they heard from the people in Zhuangzi that in the past, after noon, these people would wander at the gate of the academy every day, but now they have met them."

Two days ago, Xuan Shijing came to the academy, and they all came over immediately after eating, and at that hour, those scholars were still eating in a certain restaurant inn in Zhuangzi, and Xuan Shijing naturally couldn't touch them.

"They are all scholars who are going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, so don't embarrass them Shijing." Gao Shilian admonished.

"I naturally know this, but I just exchanged a few words with them at the door, but I found that the scholars who participated in the Spring Festival are also mixed." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Why, it's the one who found out the indiscriminate filling?" Gao Shilian asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's not, the students don't know what their literary style is, but from their words and deeds, they can see some clues." ”
