As a result, before he could ask, in the side door of Guozijian, Liu Deshu hurriedly walked out, "Brother Xian, you are finally back." Then he took Gao Yue's hand very affectionately and said to go in quickly, otherwise it would be too late.

The second wonder suddenly permeated Gao Yue's heart.

But it was quickly solved:

Just as Liu De's room walked out, countless young people in white linen clothes suddenly appeared on the streets of Wubenfang, as well as servants and chariots carrying luggage, pushing carts, and carrying shoulders in front of and behind them, converging into a huge and unstoppable torrent, noisy and shouting, rushing in the direction of Guozijian.

"Here's what to do!" Gao Yue was also shocked, and hurriedly picked up the luggage on the cart with a few wonderful guests, and stepped on the steps outside the wall of the Guozi Prison.

"They all came to occupy the house in the country's prison!" Liu Demuro led Gao Yue to the courtyard wall next to the door, stopped him again, told him not to go in now, and whispered, "Brother Xian, don't act rashly for the time being. ”

Before Gao Yue could ask clearly, at this time, a piece of gongs and drums suddenly exploded inside the wall of Guozi Prison, like a battle horn, and then the vermilion main gate was rumbled open, "Beat away this group of chops that have come to occupy our room and kitchen!" With such a roar, countless students dressed in deep clothes surrounded Qingjin, holding their legs, hoes, and nail rakes, poured out from the main entrance.

Several gatekeepers were still preparing to block it, but they were immediately rushed out by the Guozi students, Tai students, and four students who rushed out of it and rolled down the steps.

Gao Yue, Liu Demur, Su Wunu and others were so frightened that they clinged to the wall of the side door, looking at the students of Guozijian who rushed out of the door, and the Mai lifters who poured in from outside the street, on one side was the dark blue frenzy, and on the other side was the white linen angry sea, intertwined, pushing and shoving, scolding the sky, and there were more sticks and farm tools, and the fight was in full swing.

"This group of people are all rushing to take the exam, why did they fight?" Gao Yue was full of surprise, when he used to go to college, as soon as he got off the high-speed rail, the enthusiastic brothers and sisters came to welcome the new students, help you carry your luggage, and help you arrange the dormitory.

Before he could ask, he was hurriedly pulled in by Liu De's room, and while the two sides were fighting, they passed through the side door and walked into the wall of Guozijian without any obstacles.

"Leave them alone, Brother Fool has already occupied a good room for you in the Taixue Pavilion, go to the luggage first, there is only seventy people there, and it will be late if you go." Liu De said as he walked.

And after Gao Yue walked into the wall of the Guozi Prison, he wanted to see what this highest university in the Tang Dynasty looked like, but he didn't know if he didn't see it, and when he saw it, it was like a basin of ice water, pouring him from head to foot, and the cold air of disappointment was oozing in his bones:

Just enter next to the wall, is a hall with Zhu door, the courtyard is deep, the outer circle is square, there are canals on all sides, it is connected to the outside with a stone bridge, the plaque reads "Lu Sage Palace", it should be the place to worship Confucius, but the pillars, doors and window lattices look very mottled, completely degenerate the appearance of disrepair;

After walking dozens of steps to the west, I saw a few scholars who hurried outside, "This is the prefect's doctor and the superintendent, who went out to stop the fight." ”

Then they came to a high-gate hall in the center, and there were hugging buildings in the front and back of the hall. ”

When they walked through the so-called hall, Gao Yue almost slipped, and then he saw that the floor under his feet was actually covered with moss! The hall was empty, without any furnishings, except for a few gray plain screens, the corners were filled with a cold musty smell, and Gao Yue looked up as he walked, and the roof beams were full of cobwebs.

Beyond the hall, four slightly smaller halls were across in front of his eyes, namely Guozi, Guangwen, Taixue, Simen and Four Pavilions, and then there were buildings, all of which were dilapidated, presumably the "room" that Liu De called "giving a room", that is, the "dormitory" that Gao Yue said in his original era.

The Taixue Pavilion is in the northwesternmost corner of the entire Wubenfang, and you can see the Imperial City's Anmen Gate through the wall in the north.

"Alas, alas!" When running towards the Taixue Pavilion, Gao Yue suddenly found that he was running along the ridge of the road: on both sides of the ridge of the ridge, there were vegetable gardens all together......

Vegetable garden! Vegetable garden!

The dignified Tang Dynasty Zijian, the highest university in the whole empire, the Lusheng Palace, the Lun Hall and the courtyards between the halls were all planted in vegetable gardens!

Gao Yue was running, tears were about to flow out, he didn't need to ask Su Wunu why he said that, at this time he understood what it meant to be "no longer prosperous", the previous Guozijian should have been very magnificent and gorgeous, but now it has been reduced to a vegetable production base, and it is all barren as far as the eye can see.

Liu De's room is in the Taixue Museum, and the room he found is in the C-shaped room on the second floor, Liu is in the T-shaped room, the second room does not rely on the stairs to avoid noise, and when you open the window, you can see the Xingdaofang further west, and the west of the Xingdaofang is the Vermilion Bird Street that runs through the entire Chang'an City.

In the C-shaped room, Gao Yue put down his luggage with an indifferent expression, the so-called room must also be consistent with the overall environment of this Guozijian, it is a bucket room and a burrow with a length and width of three or five steps - Gao Yue pushed the window flute, almost pushed the whole window off, and then the dust fell, and in the whole room, there was a bed, a closet with the door down, and a few Yin mats scattered on the ground.

But Liu De Room was very happy, helped, and introduced, "There is a kitchen in the museum every day, just eat below, you have the household department and the Ministry of Rites, you can live here with peace of mind, don't move around before the spring, you have to give a good impression to Dr. Zhiguan, otherwise if you fall down, it will be difficult to come here again in the next year." ”

At this time, Gao Yue nodded, he finally understood, this Guozijian must have lost most of its institutional functions since the Anshi Rebellion, with the complete decline of the country, but Dou Shen and Yuan Jinneng seem to have said before, and Guozijian has not been completely discarded by the imperial court: Emperor Daizong seems to have asked hundreds of officials to pay a share of money, so that each hall of Guozijian can have "kitchen" and "room", that is, students can have free food and lodging during the examination period.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the brawl in front of the gate: the lifters sent by various states and counties took the papers, and wanted to enjoy the "kitchen" and "room" in the national prison; And the students of the Guozijian Pavilion, who originally lived here, were not willing to give up the free board and lodging, and of course they wanted to stay here until they passed the exam. And the quota of the various halls of Guozijian is very limited, and in order to compete for these resources, unyielding fights and insults are of course inevitable.

At this time, Gao Yue suddenly remembered something, he glared and asked Liu Demuro, "Brother Fang Zhai, are you ...... How many years have you been in this prison? ”

Liu Demu was suddenly a little ashamed, saying that it had been more than ten years, alas, it was unbearable.

"What about you?"

Liu Demu understood what Gao Yue wanted to ask, so he whispered to Gao Yue, "Dr. Su here takes pity on me, and asks me to go through the re-signing procedures every time I fall down, so I can continue to stay in the Taixue Pavilion." ”

"And what is your age for re-registration?"

"Twenty-two."

Gao Yue looked at Liu Demuro's wrinkles and beard, and thought, "Dude, is this okay?" ”
