The old gentleman feathered into an immortal, and the future will naturally be done. Guo Li sent Li Mei to Xuandu Temple to invite the princess's brother and sister to arrange the funeral for the old gentleman. The old gentleman is still alive, and according to the elder brother, the old gentleman is a holy body among men. The elder brother ordered Qingsong and Qinghe to move a half-person-high vat, and moved the old man's immortal body into the vat, and placed the old man's relics in the gap, sealed it with red mud and rosin and buried it in the wide backyard of the view, and built a tower and a monument with bricks and stones on it. Li Longji personally wrote the inscription, called the sage of the Li clan.

After finishing Mr. Li's funeral, Jianhu stayed in Xuanduguan to keep filial piety for Mr. Li for a year. Guo Li did not dissuade Jianhu's filial piety. Gu Li understood Jianhu's intentions and stayed by the side very quietly.

This incident had a great impact on Li Longji. Li Longji has always believed in the Tao, and after seeing the immortal Zhang Guo, his belief in the Tao became more and more firm. Now that I see the old gentleman feathering the immortal and not falling down, I firmly believe that the Tao is the true meaning of nature. After returning to Xingqing Palace, Li Longji ordered the whole country to worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, "prohibiting the construction of temples and the writing of scriptures by casting Buddhas." Monks and nuns in the world who are under the age of 60 are limited to reciting 200 paper scriptures, and each time they are limited to reciting 73 papers, and those who have failed once every three years will return to the world." The seemingly inconspicuous edict had a far-reaching impact and led to a dispute between the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in the future.

Guo Li hurriedly took Li Mei to the banquet.

The second prince attaches great importance to this banquet, and the people who can be seen from the layout alone are heavyweights. Outside the gate of the mansion, there are big red lanterns that are only taken out during the New Year, and the trees in the garden are lit up with lights, a festive scene. Dozens of family members will wear neat samurai uniforms and guard the gate to prevent idlers from entering and disrupting the banquet. There is a steward at the gate who checks the invitations. The second prince was carefully arranged, and he personally greeted him at the door. The guests were endless, and the two princes responded to the greetings in an orderly manner. When Guo Li and the others arrived, they saw the second prince chatting with Pei Yang from afar.

"Lord Guo came just in time, this is Master Pei Yangpei, the transfer envoy who has just returned to Beijing." When the second prince saw Guo Li, he thought that Guo Li and Pei Yang didn't know each other.

"Master Pei, it's hard work." Guo Li said that the hard work has two meanings, Pei Yang built a transfer warehouse in Heyin, and the grain and grass in Chang'an City gradually increased, and in previous years, Li Longji had to consider leading hundreds of civil and military officials to Luoyang to patrol the east, which was essentially caused by the lack of grain and grass in Chang'an. After Pei Yang built the transshipment warehouse, the amount of grain and grass entering Beijing within a month reached 200,000 stones, which was worth last year's transportation. The other layer is, of course, Pei Yang's return to Beijing from afar, and he has been tired all the way.

"The little woman has seen Master Guo," Pei Jingsi appeared from behind Pei Yang and gave Guo Li a smile.

Pei Yang actually brought her daughter out, presumably this Miss Pei killed Peach Blossom. Guo Li has always had a good impression of Pei Jingsi, probably because the princess told Guo Li about Miss Pei's name. Others saw Pei Jingsi as the eldest lady, dressed gorgeously and with a noble status, but Guo Li knew that this eldest lady also had times when she secretly wiped her tears alone.

There were still guests coming in one after another, Guo Li and Pei Yang entered the house together, and there were already small servants who led the four people to take their seats. There were four or five seats between Guo Li and Pei Yang, and I didn't know who they were.

Pei Jingsi sat next to Guo Li and asked, "Lord Guo hasn't written poems for a long time, can you have poems this time to fight the west?" ”

The literary style of the Tang Dynasty is well deserved, the peddler is the pawn of the tea stall shopkeeper, who can't recite poetry right? As for these eldest ladies who usually stay in the house, they like poetry and literature very much.

When Guo Li went out this time, he only thought of two poems when he was dealing with the princess's errand, one of which was charming, and another poem that tampered with Wang Anshi, and recited it casually. Pei Jingsi thought quietly and was shocked: "Lord Guo actually went to Tuyuhun's place? ”

This made Guo Li look at this Miss Pei Fu with admiration.

Pei Jingsi even knew where Kuozhou was, which showed that Ping Suli had not worked hard. Guo Li suddenly wanted to be a matchmaker, Pei Jingsi and Li Guangbi were of similar age and had similar interests.

"Miss Pei also has a dabbling in the art of war, and Guo admires it."

"Master Guo is too modest, this girl usually likes to read randomly." Pei Yang heard Guo Li praise the little girl, and hurriedly said loudly, but he didn't expect to provoke Pei Yatou's eyes.

"I heard that Mr. Guo has returned from a great victory, and the old man is chatting with **."

Guo Li was thinking about being a matchmaker, and suddenly heard a familiar voice coming. An old man greeted Guo Li from afar, and the person who came was He Zhizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites when he was selecting a horse for Princess Wan'an, and now Dr. Taichang of Lizheng Academy, Guo Li hurriedly got up and said hello.

"Congratulations to Dr. He," Guo Li had a good impression of Old Man He, and after being imprisoned, Old Man He interceded for Guo Li, and Guo Li remembered this friendship.

He Zhizhang's seat was right between Guo Li and Pei Yang, and after the old man sat down, he said, "The old man didn't look away, Master Guo really has a strategy." ”

"How did Dr. He see that?"

"Master Guo's calligraphy is vertical and horizontal, and it has the breath of everyone in the art of war." Old man He was talking serious nonsense, and Pei Jingsi Xiao Nizi stared at Guo Li with admiration on her face.

"Ahem..."Guo Li felt embarrassed.

There was drum music at the door, and it was obvious that a heavyweight had arrived. Guo Li looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhongshu Ling Zhang said. It is rumored in the world that Li Longji intended to let Zhang Shuo serve as the first scholar of Lizheng Academy, and it is understandable that the second prince invited Zhang Shuo, but doesn't this Zhongshu Ling know to avoid suspicion?

The second prince accompanied Zhang Shuo all the way to the left head of the upper seat, Zhang Shuo responded to the guests who had already sat down while walking, and saw Guo Li stop and said: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Guo is full of wealth, if it is not for Lord Guo to take an important position, will this official consider asking Lord Guo to come over." ”

Guo Li is embarrassed, fortunately there is a position of Dali Temple, otherwise Zhang Shuo will probably be exposed to Lizheng Academy.

"Guo Li thanked Master Zhang for his kind words."

Zhang said that he sat down in the first seat on the left without pause, and it seems that among the guests today, except for the second prince, Lord Zhang is respected.

The hour is coming, and two more people who are not very familiar with each other sat down between Guo Li and Pei Yang, Pei Yang calls each other Lord Lu, and Lu Jian, a scholar from the middle school?

Lu Jian took the initiative to greet Guo Li and said, "I missed Master Guo outside the Guanghua Gate on the day, and today I have to live up to the name." ”

"Lord Lu is polite, I have heard the name of Lord Lu for a long time, and I have seen it today."

"Hypocrisy!" A middle-aged scribe sitting in the middle couldn't help but say.

"Why is Lord Xu like this?" Lu Jian asked.

Lord Xu? Guo Li hadn't seen this Lord Xu.

"Yu has never known each other and has heard of a big name for a long time, why not? The gentleman is frank and open, and his words are out of his heart, and Xu seems that the two adults are duplicitous. ”

No way! Guo Li couldn't help but stand up, this Lord Xu obviously said in his words that he and Lu Jian were two villains. What is the origin of this Lord Xu?

"Lord Xu is still in charge of the secretary and supervisor, it is rumored that the secretary and supervisor often have guards and thieves, and Lord Guo, as the secretary of Dali Temple, should take a good look." Lu Jian was not angry.

Secretarial supervisor? Librarian? Just looking at the other party's position, everyone knows that this Lord Xu is not easy to mess with, and quoting scriptures is undoubtedly a dead end in front of Lord Xu. Guo Li sat down according to the fire in his heart, here is not a comparison of force, but only literary brilliance, if Guo Li was genuine, he would have slammed this Lord Xu to the ground.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

Lu Jian brought out the identity of Guo Li's Dali Siqing, and Lord Xu sat down with Guo Li. On the surface, there is no distinction between up and down, Guo Li suffers a loss, and his brain is flexible, this Lord Xu is willing to accept defeat and sit down, and there may be real problems in the secretary's prison.

It was the first time for Pei Jingsi to see Guo Li deflated, and she couldn't help laughing. Pei Yang scolded: "Rude! Pei Jingsi stuck out her tongue and still sat next to Guo Li.

Mingqi also came, looking left and right and hurriedly came over to say hello after seeing Guo Li.

It's good that this kid came a little earlier, he is always afraid of being young and strong, and it is not a big problem for Ming Jue to kill Lord Xu, who is the secretary and supervisor.

At this moment, the drum sounded, the banquet time was approaching, and the guests who came at this time were generally extremely distinguished guests, and when Guo Li was curious about who came, someone sang: "Princess Yuzhen has arrived." ”

Guo Li heard Wan An talk about this aunt, and he thought that he was far inferior to Princess Yuzhen when it came to pampering. At that time, Yuzhen delayed the marriage because he was deeply favored by Li Longji, and he escaped into the Taoist Gate in the past ten years.

Princess Yuzhen came accompanied by Wang Wei. Dressed in plain white robes, light makeup and no makeup, his facial features are chic and stylish, just like snow plums in the cold winter, and like clear water hibiscus.

Wan'an has already been born out of the world, and Yuzhen is no better.

The second prince followed behind Princess Yuzhen, and walked all the way, and the second prince introduced the guests to his aunt respectively. When he walked in front of Guo Li, Yu Zhen asked, "Could it be that Guo Li Guo, who is expensive in Chang'an?" "You must know that Yuzhen has been going all the way, and at most he has asked about greeting people, and at this moment, the focus of the audience is focused on Guo Li." But it's a handy work, and the princess is in love. The second prince personally arranged for his aunt to sit on the right seat, and then returned to the main seat to announce the beginning of the banquet.

The theme of today's banquet is Lai Ching College.

At the signal of the second prince, a middle-aged man stood up and said: "In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, today's Shengshang Lizheng Academy has been a model for the world. The so-called gold comes from the mine, and jade is born from the stone, which is not illusory and cannot seek truth; In the wine, the fairy meets the flower, although the elegance cannot be separated from the vulgar. The second prince was well aware of the righteousness and gathered to discuss, and the contemptible people threw bricks and led the jade, ashamed and ashamed. ”

The middle-aged man sat down, his face full of ambition, and he didn't see a little shame.

The second prince nodded.

Guo Li listened irritably, and the text of the Chinese language was less than half a bottle dangling, and it was better to make a poem than to flatter each other here.

"I have heard for a long time that a sage article by Lord Guo has caused Chang'an paper to be expensive, dare to ask Lord Guo what his high opinion is?"

Master Xu, the secretary and supervisor, sat back in his seat with a smug look on his face, and everyone's eyes focused on Guo Li at the same time. At that time, Zhang Shuo was the leader of the literary world, and the only questioning voice involved Guo Li. Although Guo Li was born as a military general, the articles and poems are very good. There are good deeds who call Zhang Shuo and Guo Li "Zhang Guo". Lord Xu suddenly attacked, and Guo Li was caught off guard. In fact, Guo Li and Meng Haoran talked about Lizheng Academy, Meng Haoran thought that Lizheng Academy was a great achievement of the emperor today, and Lizheng Academy must have more people who sang praises and virtues headed by Zhang Shuo. Guo Li said at that time that the surface of the donkey dung eggs was light, and Meng Haoran thought so. At this time, Lord Xu suddenly asked, and Guo Li said with a twist.

"Lizheng Academy is just the golden light emitted from the Buddha's body, how can he do it?" Guo Li's words shocked a thousand waves, and Princess Yuzhen stared at Guo Li's eyebrows.

"Dare to speak out here just after you have made military achievements?"

"Yellow-haired Xiaoer, what kind of moral articles do you know?"

"It's a shame to be swept away, and you can describe Lizheng Academy like this?"

…

Ming Qi supported Guo Li as always, if it weren't for the presence of the second prince, this kid might have cheered on the spot.

Zhang Shuo's face claimed to be unmoved, and the second prince asked in a deep voice, "Why did Lord Guo say this?" ”

Guo Li is like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and the volcano may erupt at any time.

"Zi said: There must be my teacher in the threesome, Mr. Changli once said: The teacher, the one who teaches the Tao and solves the doubts. Shengshang founded Lizheng Academy, with good treatment, all of whom are from the fifth grade or above. What is the significance of founding Lai Cheng College? Guo is not talented, he thinks that Yingguang is the way to open the door, gather students from all over the world to enter the academy to study the sage articles, take outstanding officials as models, and select outstanding students to enter the official career to make up for the omission of the imperial examination. ”

It is as quiet as water, and even a needle can be heard clearly in the field. Mingjun was very happy, and he deserved to be an idol-level figure.

"Lizheng Academy should be built, and dozens of them should be built. There are Lizheng Academies in all the state capitals of Datang, and students from all over the world return to their hearts, so why worry that there is no one available in Datang? After Guo Li finished speaking, everyone finally understood. Guo Li had previously questioned the usefulness of Lai Ching College, and then built it widely in state capitals across the country, with Lai Ching College as a university.

Zhang Shuo nodded, deeply convinced.

Lu Jian got up and said: "Lord Guo used metaphors inappropriately, and his original intention was good. As for the establishment of Lizheng Academy in each state capital, Lu Mou thought that the Shengshang Lizheng Academy was not beneficial to the country, and it was for nothing, so he wanted to stop it. ”

There are talents in the rivers and lakes, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

Guo Li just questioned the utility of Lizheng Academy, and Lu Jian completely denied that he was beaten to death with a stick, so the second prince's banquet today was in vain.

"Lord Lu's words are wrong. Since ancient times, when the emperor had nothing to do in the country, he admired the palace and made a wide voice. Today, Zi Du Yan Liwen Confucianism, give full play to the classics, the benefit is great, the loss is small, Lu Zi's words, why not Daye?"

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but stand up and argue, and glared at Lu Jian fiercely in his words. Guo Li and Lu Jian's arguments, I'm afraid that no one in the field will deal with them. The emperor is the emperor, and Lizheng Academy is concurrently appointed by Zhang Shuo as the chief secretary. If Lu Jian's remarks reach the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the matter of Lizheng Academy will be suspended.

"It's very exciting, it's better to rest for a while, His Royal Highness has prepared a song and dance for you." After the second prince finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and two teams of dancing girls came out to dance with the vocal music.

After talking for a long time, Guo Li suddenly became hungry, Guo Li didn't eat in the afternoon and stayed up until now, there were exquisite snacks during the banquet, Guo Li took a few pieces and handed them to Li Mei behind him, Li Mei took it and ate it unceremoniously. Guo Li took a piece of it and put it in his mouth. Pei Jingsi stared at Guo Li with both eyes, and was not interested in the music and dance in the field.

"Today, Your Highness invites you to come just to express your opinions, and you don't have to be polite and speak freely." The second prince waited for the song and dance to end, and proposed.

The second prince spoke, and everyone began to speak freely, most of them were flatterers. Guo Li was bored of listening, and Li Mei and Li Mei finished the dim sum on their plates for a while.

Just before the banquet ended, an old man suddenly stood up.
