Chapter 345: Monarch and Minister
At dawn, Li Chengqian came to the Tang Royal Military and Political Academy.
Li Jing, the head of the Royal Military and Political Academy, who received the news in advance, led the students to greet them in front of the gate of the Military and Political Academy.
Li Chengqian slowly stepped out of the carriage and waved to the students here with a smile.
The students standing behind Li Jing looked excitedly at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walking slowly with a cane, and many of them were meritorious soldiers brought back from northern Xinjiang when Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an this time, and they were the group of people who were most loyal to Li Chengqian now.
"Minister Li Jing see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Jing, who was dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves, bowed and saluted.
"The ministers can see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The students behind him also saluted Li Chengqian in the same way.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and stretched out a hand to everyone: "Zhongqing is flat!"
In the morning light, Li Chengqian and his entourage slowly walked into the Military and Political Academy, and the students of the Military and Political Academy looked at Li Chengqian with very eager eyes, and Li Chengqian smiled and greeted everyone one by one.
Many people here know Li Chengqian, some have eaten with Li Chengqian, some have been instructed by Li Chengqian, and some have even been injured by Li Chengqian himself.
Li Chengqian looked at these people's hearts and felt a lot of relief, and after a brief look at the training grounds, classrooms, and students' dormitories, he went to the small courtyard where the mountain chief Li Jing lived to rest, and prepared to have breakfast with the students here later.
Li Chengqian sat on the main seat in the courtyard, and Li Jing stood in front of him.
"Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Jing saluted again.
Li Chengqian waved his hand lightly and said, "Defend the country fairly, sit down!" ”
Li Chengqian watched Li Jing sit down, took a sip of the teacup, and put down the teacup before saying: "Wei Guogong has always been loyal, and it stands to reason that King Gu doesn't need it."
But recently, some people have been making too much trouble, so I came out for a walk and came to see how the heroes brought back by the Lone King from the northern Xinjiang were learning here. ”
Hearing this, Li Jing arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, there are old ministers here, and the Royal Military and Political Academy is as stable as Mount Tai." ”
Li Chengqian's face sank when he heard this, and he looked at Li Jing and asked, "Why do some students here think that all the official positions in the world should be given to the children of the world?"
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and realized that he had already said it. The Royal Military and Political Academy is the foundation of Li Chengqian, and the students here are all meritorious soldiers who are loyal to Li Chengqian.
The most important thing is that at the beginning of the establishment of the year, Li Chengqian tried his best to override public opinion, and only ordinary meritorious soldiers were recruited here, and there was not a single child of the scholar clan, so it can be said that even if the world was in chaos, no one here would stand up against Li Chengqian.
Li Jing hurriedly stood up and said, "It's the old minister who lost his words, and everything is up to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"The lonely king has been out for a few months, and the students here can't participate in the election, is Wei Guogong worthy of it?" Li Chengqian remembered that Li Jing himself was also from a scholar family, and he may not have really planned for the students here before, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"It's a dereliction of duty." When Li Jing heard this, he hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Others may think that without Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian would lose his hair, but Li Jing did not dare to be careless at all, in his opinion, Li Chengqian's ambition was much greater than Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian shook his hand a little anxiously and said: "Wei Guogong will enter the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, and now the lonely king will have a good strategy to teach the lonely king when he encounters difficulties!" ”
Li Jing said with a sad face when he heard this: "The minister thinks that when His Majesty is seriously ill, it is not appropriate for the prince to clash too much with the courtiers." ”
However, Li Jing is 74 years old this year, and it has been more than 10 years since he left the military and political affairs, and he really does not dare to follow Li Chengqian into this troubled water.
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Jing and didn't speak, got up directly, and walked towards the student cafeteria.
Although the Royal Military and Political Academy is also in Chang'an, because the composition of the staff is relatively single, the news is more closed than the actual yamen, and the students do not know what happened in the Taiji Palace from yesterday to now.
However, when Li Chengqian came, the people who came with him quickly released the news, and the students of the Military and Political Academy were in an uproar when they heard about it, and they all said that they would once again take action to kill all those scholars who opposed Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian listened to Liu Kui report these news to him as he walked forward, and as he walked, Li Chengqian stopped, turned around and looked at Li Jing and said seriously: "As the head of the Royal Military and Political Academy, Wei Guogong must pay attention to protecting your students and don't let him do stupid things impulsively. ”
After that, he ignored Li Jing, who was stunned, and continued to walk forward, and when he arrived at the door of the student cafeteria, he saw a group of students standing at the door waiting for him.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said casually: "The lonely king left the palace early in the morning, and he hasn't had breakfast yet. I want to deal with it here, I wonder if you are willing to provide one? ”
When the students saw that Li Chengqian was still in the mood to joke, they were all relieved, and some people who had eaten with Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just right, and we are just about to go in for dinner." ”
After having breakfast in the cafeteria with hundreds of students of the Military and Political Academy, Li Chengqian called the cook of the Military and Political Academy to his face.
Li Chengqian looked at the cramped and restless cook with great interest, and saw that this person was large and wearing clean new clothes, and his nervous hands did not know where to put them.
Li Chengqian tapped the tableware he had just used with his hand and said, "Your food here is not bad, I don't know if it was specially made for the Lone King, or if they eat this kind of food?"
When the cook heard this, he hurriedly agreed: "I specially made it for His Royal Highness the Prince......
"Huh?" Li Chengqian looked at the student next to him and asked, "He usually cooks for you?"
When the student heard this, he hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, he usually cooks with all his heart. ”
"Hmm" Li Chengqian nodded and looked at the crowd: "When the lonely king is in a disaster disaster, he must taste what the victims eat, and when he is training, he must eat with the soldiers, not to ask everyone to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but to let everyone eat well."
The Royal Military and Political Academy was set up by the Lone King, so the Lone King cares a lot about what you eat. ”
The students were very moved when they heard this, and hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian: "Thank you for your concern!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always loved the people like a son."
……
……
Li Chengqian raised his hands to stop everyone: "'Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons. 'The monarch should do what the king should do, and the courtiers should do what the courtiers should do...... such as rewarding merit and punishing the merits, selecting the virtuous and appointing the able, and if the courtiers want to interfere, it will be a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished. ”
"The ministers will follow the teachings of His Royal Highness the Prince."
The students of the Royal Military and Political Academy are all meritorious generals, and they are still scattered officers when they enter the hospital to study.
After Li Chengqian said these words, he got up and walked out.
Li Jing watched Li Chengqian leave and couldn't calm down for a long time, he knew that Li Chengqian was ready to kill when he said this.
He hoped that Li Chengqian would succeed, but he was also worried that it would cause chaos in the world.
Before Li Chengqian walked out of the Royal Military and Political Academy, someone came to report what happened in front of Liangyi.
When Li Chengqian heard that Doulu Xianchao said that he was out of the palace to play, he smiled slightly and said: "Take out the ceremonial staff of the lonely king and go to the national prison." ”
The Tang Dynasty court set up three universities in Chang'an City, including Guozijian, Simenxue, and Taixue.
Li Chengqian has always had opinions about these three universities, because these three universities only recruit the children of officials, and this is also the reason why Li Chengqian resolutely recruited only meritorious soldiers on the front line when he was building the Royal Military and Political Academy.
Li Chengqian played a guard of honor and his party marched towards the Guozijian, and what he said in the Royal Military and Political Academy soon spread throughout the Chang'an officialdom.
After hearing this, some officials felt that Li Chengqian was indeed right, and that the world should be "a monarch and a minister...... and a minister." Of course, they were hostile to other scholars, and they rebuked this.
In their opinion, they have been superior to others for generations, and the monarch should choose the children of each clan in the selection of people, otherwise he will be a faint king.
But no matter which side it is, it is speculated that Li Chengqian is ready to break the situation by force, and all of a sudden the entire Chang'an City is in the rumor.
As long as some qualified people are staring at Li Chengqian's Guozi Jian Zhi and want to know, what is he going to do next?
