NOVEL NEXT Chapter 99
Hearing that it was an urgent letter from the court, Di Renjie also came over curiously.
When Song Zhen opened it, he couldn't help but frown.
There was no way, this style of writing from right to left and from top to bottom was a bit unaccustomed.
Di Renjie read it faster than him and exclaimed: "The saint invited you to the palace?"
"Ah?"
"Look at this sentence." Di Renjie pointed with his finger, "I am very impressed with his talent, so I specially invited Shouzheng to the palace to compose music for Li Tang."
After hearing this, the group of students couldn't help but scream.
"Did I hear it wrong? That's the saint's letter?"
"Oh my God, our Xuezheng is so talented? Can he meet the saint directly?"
"Wouldn't it be more face-saving to talk about it? No! I have to introduce my friend here quickly!"
Song Zhen was stunned. Good guy, this seems to be a bit too much, composing for the royal family?
No, I have to think carefully about what music to use.
Maybe some Yanzu will ask, why is it not an imperial edict invitation?
This time it is just Li Zhi's personal invitation, not involving official affairs. If an imperial edict is issued, the meaning will be different.
Moreover, imperial edicts are not issued casually, usually for promotion, reward, punishment and conferring titles.
It should be noted that the imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty do not begin with "By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees that", which is the name of things in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Tang Dynasty starts with the two words "Menxia", because the imperial edicts are reviewed and issued by the Menxia Province.
Because this matter was too shocking, it soon spread from Wangjia Academy to Jinyang County.
The group of scholars who were just trained by Song Zhen were drinking in Huichunfang, and Xiang Wu slammed the table angrily!
"Damn it, a little judge can insult us! It's a great shame!"
"Yes, the judge is just an eighth-rank official, what's so great about him?"
"If he is great, he won't be a little judge in Bingzhou, he has the ability to go to Luoyang?"
At this time, there was an exclamation from the next table.
"Have you heard? Jinyang County has a talented person! He was invited by the saint to enter the palace and compose music for the royal family."
"Who is it? Who is so powerful?"
"Did you see the sign in front of the stage downstairs? It was composed by that talented person."
"Amitabha? I can actually listen to the same song as the saint?"
Xiang Wu's ears trembled. When he was horrified, he thought that if he had the chance in the future, he must get to know that talented person and make friends with him, so that he can pass the imperial examination in the future and have someone to take care of him in the court.
He silently remembered the name.
Song Zhen, courtesy name Shouzheng
......
Of course, only the children of poor families were excited about this matter, and the Wang family of Taiyuan expressed no feelings.
The idea that family background is more important than heaven has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, at least in the hearts of the children of the five surnames and seven families.
They took the imperial examinations not to serve under Li Tang, but to prove themselves.
In the Tang Dynasty, the sense of honor for the country was very subtle, far less than that of later generations.
However, Wang He still brought several prominent figures from the Jinyang Wang family to congratulate.
"Congratulations, sir, you are valued by the saint!"
Lu Yang hurried over to the Wang Family Academy, his old face flushed due to intense exercise.
"Shouzheng, I heard that the saint invited you to the palace?"
Song Zhen was surprised: "How do you know?"
"It's all spread outside, who doesn't know?"
Song Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang He. He knew at a glance that it was this man who did it.
Wang He's behavior was actually to build momentum for the Wang Family Academy.
When ordinary people heard that a student of Wang Family Academy had actually entered the palace and was a disciple of the emperor, wouldn't the advertisement be spread?
Wang He felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. It was indeed he who arranged for people to spread it.
Song Zhen leaned down and whispered in Wang He's ear: "You owe me a favor, remember it."
Without consent, it was known to everyone in the world. To be honest, Song Zhen was a little angry.
However, the incident has already happened, and it is useless to pursue it now.
If you draw a clear line now, it will appear that you have no magnanimity.
Wang He's old body trembled, and he replied with a stiff expression: "Wang, I will always remember your kindness. If you need Wang's help in the future, I will do my best."
Song Zhen patted his shoulder and left expressionlessly.
Who can't say nice words? The key lies in your actions.
Song Zhen helped the Wang family to make plans since the preparation of Wangjia College. Whether it was the school building concept, campus facilities, course arrangement, and college rules, all were modeled after later generations.
There is no doubt that the postmodern teaching concept is more advanced than the ancient one.
Song Zhen did not copy the later generations, and he made many localized reforms.
After a day of trial operation, it seems that the people of Jinyang County have a high degree of acceptance of the new college system.It's still relatively high.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty also had official schools, which were divided into direct and collateral branches, which can be understood as undergraduate and junior college.
Students of official schools can be exempted from county examinations and directly enter provincial examinations.
Scholars who can enter official schools are basically the children of ministers above the fifth rank, which is the privilege of being a high-ranking official.
Of course, what follows is serious favoritism and fraud.
The famous Huajian Ci ancestor Wen Tingyun was a famous "gunman" at the time. He went to the imperial examination every year and wrote poems and fu for multiple candidates on the spot. He was known as "saving several people."
But because he offended the powerful, the person he wrote for passed the exam, but he himself failed. Later, he finally got ashore, but was reported by Lao Liu that he had helped others cheat, resulting in his buttocks being demoted before he even sat warm.
......
After leaving Wangjia Academy, Di Renjie stepped forward and asked, "Shouzheng, when are you going to leave?"
"Of course immediately. Bingzhou is so far from Luoyang. I don't know how many days it will take."
Di Renjie lowered his head with a sad look. He was a little uncomfortable without Shouzheng by his side.
"I'll leave Tian Qi with you." Seeing this, Song Zhen smiled and patted his shoulder.
But Di Renjie shook his head and said, "I don't want it."
"Be obedient. Tian Qi's martial arts are not as good as mine. If he stays with you, he can still protect you. Besides, Tian Qi's daughter Song Ruoshui is still in Bingzhou. Can you bear to separate them?"
Di Renjie: "..."
Song Zhen returned to the mansion overnight to pack up his belongings, and by the way, arranged for Tian Qi to follow Di Renjie, just like following me.
Tian Qi originally planned to go to Luoyang with Song Zhen, but was rejected.
"Godfather, when will you be back?"
Song Zhen picked up Xiao Ruoshui and pinched her face: "Soon, more than a month."
When Governor Lu heard that Song Zhen was leaving so quickly, he arranged ten clerks to follow him overnight.
Together with the three guards in Song Zhen's mansion, the group left Jinyang County, Bingzhou overnight.
The reason why Song Zhen couldn't wait to run away was because he learned from Di Renjie's divination that Li Mengting was very likely in Luoyang.
It's better to believe it than not to believe it.
Finding Li Mengting's reincarnation became his most important task in Luoyang.
As for which song to choose, he had already thought about it.
He didn't know the creation experience of the original song, but the name of the song could be found in a poem by Tian Khan.
The most important thing is that the style of the song is particularly in line with Li Shimin's life.
