It didn't take long for rows of brand-new futons to be neatly arranged in the large garden in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the arrangement of the old housekeeper Li Fu. And the owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, Li Deng, the prime minister of Youbei Third Road, now stands with his waist straight and his hands in front of all the futons. And beside him, there was also Wan Changning, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair and covered with a thick sheepskin below the knee.

"Meet the Teacher......"

Under the leadership of senior Wang Xu, all the scholars outside the mansion took off those 'funeral supplies' at this time and walked into the Xiangfu garden in a quiet and orderly manner. There is no need for the command of the senior, and each of them can find their own position.

At this time, these students of Sanbei Academy, each holding a Wensheng fan in their left hand, under the leadership of the university dean Wang Xu, bowed to Li Deng, the dean and founder of Sanbei Academy.

Li Deng looked at these eager students, and he also had a full sense of accomplishment in his chest, the so-called 'peach and plum do not speak, and the bottom is self-contained', and this kind of sense of accomplishment obtained by carrying trees and educating people is far happier than the struggle for power and profit above the court.

At this time he looked around, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, he said aloud:

"Sit down..."

After the students bowed their heads again and thanked them, they sat quietly and quickly on their own futon, each of them straightening their waists and looking at him, the prime minister of the Northern North, with their eyes blazing.

"Recently, due to the strong enemy Beiyan, the battle has been lightly started, which has caused my Youbei Third Road to fall into a war. Today, although the war has gradually died out, it still leaves those painful scars on my Youbei Third Road; Countless warriors have been bloodied on the battlefield, and hundreds of people's homes have been burned...... This is not a question of the geometry of the outcome of the battle; Of course, it is not a question of casualties or consumption...... I think that my Youbei Third Road has a history of nearly 100 years, but why can't I still get half a day of peace? Of course, in this situation, I, Li Deng, as the prime minister of Youbei, will inevitably be suspected of having some corpse vegetarian meals; But you are all people who have read poetry and books, and you should be able to see that between Youbei and Beiyan, is the decision of war and peace really in our hands? All of you present are young students of Sanbei Academy, and they are also the hope for the future of Youbei Sanlu; Only when your generation is self-reliant and forging ahead, can Youbei Sanlu truly control its own destiny in the days to come......"

Li Deng's opening remarks suddenly turned the atmosphere in the courtyard solemn and solemn. Most of what these children learn on a daily basis is the 'words of the ancient sages', which are obscure and unspoken, and in a short period of time, these half-grown children may not be able to understand the truth.

But what Li Deng is saying now is all plain language. Not only did everyone present hear it clearly, but it also made them feel the power of 'simple language'. This kind of power made the hearts of these 'hot-blooded' young students present feel indescribably restless.

However, as the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we will not talk about it for the time being. The old man is now old and faint, and his physical and mental energy are tied to those vast court affairs; After many years, it is inevitable that there will be some food and inflexibility. Today, Li wants to take advantage of this rare gathering to confirm with all the students, so that Li, a stubborn old man, can smell the current new school of thought. ”

Li Deng's self-deprecation drew a smile from all the students. Who in the audience doesn't know that although this Li Deng and Li Qiyuan were born in a family of merchants, he is also the first Confucian in the world to study in the world since ancient times; Even those Northern Yan rotten Confucians, whose eyes are above the top, as long as they mention the three words 'Li Qiyuan', they will inevitably praise them sincerely. If anyone really believes his humble words and thinks that Lee Deng is really an old stubborn man who eats the old age, then he has read the books of sages for so many years in vain.

"If the teacher is too humble, and let me wait for my disciples, where should I deal with myself? However, since the teacher is able to take time out of his busy schedule and is willing to teach us and other stubborn people in person, it is natural that the students will listen to what the teacher says......

Wang Zhi, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, now answered the conversation in a timely manner and 'picked up' his mentor Li Chengxiang, but Wan Changning, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled when he heard this:

"All the sages who have come here today are not newly enlightened children; If you discuss those subsets of scriptures, it will be a bit boring; If it comes to poetry and songs, it is inevitably suspected of being a plaything. After all, if you have the body of such a good man and don't want to serve the country, but you are addicted to poetry all day long, after a long time, you will inevitably get tired of your heart and eventually go astray. Not only wasted a hundred years of time in vain, but also lived up to this pair of iron bones as a man! ”

Wan Changning's words were deeply believed by many students present; Only Wang Xu, the university dean who was sitting at the head of the team, frowned when he heard this. is known for his outstanding talent in poetry among his peers in the Three North Academy; Now, according to Wan Changning's words, he actually wants Li Deng to abandon the consideration of poetry and history, so how can he ensure that he can stand out from his classmates?

Although it is true that Li Deng is the dean of the Sanbei Academy, for Wang Xu, what is more important is his official position as the prime minister of Youbei and the identity of the king of Dongyou! If he can leave a good impression in his heart, then when he completes his studies in the future, won't his future official road be a smooth road?

It is true that his father is also a member of the imperial court and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, but after all, his father is still a lonely man, and compared with Li Deng, who holds half of the country in the north, it is like a crow is as disparity as a phoenix.

When Li Deng heard Wan Changning's opinion, he also frowned, and turned his head:

"Oh? What do you mean, this time I don't teach the subset of scriptures and history, nor do I teach poetry and songs...... Could it be that you want to see their calligraphy? ”

"No, no, no matter how well these skills are used, after all, they are just entertaining themselves. In Yishi'an's view, if you want to test their true skills, you should still focus on 'judging the truth and the false'. ”

This 'theory of truth and fiction' is actually not unfamiliar to the students of the Northern Yan Dynasty. Because of their imperial examinations, there is a subject called policy questioning, which is also called 'real government'. To put it simply, the examiner will come up with some problems that are closely related to the current situation and politics, and ask the students to come up with a reasonable solution.

Nowadays, in the Northern Yan Dynasty under the leadership of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing, the 'policy question' of the imperial examination has changed from the original 'additional question' to the current 'main answer question'. It can be seen that the Northern Yan Dynasty also attaches great importance to this 'policy inquiry'.

Compared with the Northern Yan Dynasty, these students of the Sanbei Academy are far inferior to each other in terms of cultural heritage and academic progress. These students on Youbei Third Road, who can recite a subset of scriptures and history on weekdays, can already be regarded as reading seeds; If you can imitate the works of your predecessors and write some articles and poems with a gourd painting scoop, then you can already be called talented; And if you can be like Wan Changning, you can have your own unique views and perspectives on everything and everything, you can be called a genius, and you will definitely be among the ranks of the great Confucians in the world in the future.

Of course, a person like Wan Changning, who can apply what he has learned, is also called a genius in the Northern Yan Dynasty. However, the fate of such wizards in the past may not be perfect.

"Oh...... The old man understood, Shi'an wanted the old man to imitate the Beiyan Imperial Examination and give some 'policy' questions for these juniors of yours...... Although this proposal is good, my students from Youbei Third Road are still a little weak, and I am afraid that they are not as good as Beiyan ......."

"The teacher has forgiven the disciple for being rude! But why does the teacher look down on me and other Youbei students so much? Thinking about my Sanbei Academy, although the establishment of the academy is still short, the number of classical books in the academy is far less than that of Beiyan Nankang; But when it comes to my own diligence, my Youbei students are by no means half a point worse than others! If the teacher is teaching any rare ancient books today, maybe the students will still have some omissions; But if the test is a real policy question, it is all a real thing that is happening in front of us, so how can we not know it? Please also ask the teacher to come up with the question, and Huainan will definitely think carefully and answer carefully. ”

Li Deng's slightly shallow agitation succeeded in arousing Wang Zhi's competitive spirit, a 'natural admirer,' and he stepped on Li Deng's trap almost without thinking. Under the provocation of the university president, these Youbei students who were flattened by their teachers were suddenly indignant.

What's more, now Wan Changning, the 'legendary senior' who has been praised by all the division commanders, is still sitting opposite him with a smile. Who wants to be the 'worst class' in the mouth of all teachers?

Hearing Wang Zhi's rebuttal, Li Deng hesitated for a long time, but finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at the righteous and stern Wang Zhi.

"Since this is the case, then we will wait for the master and apprentice to start talking about the current Huayu Continent. All of you students are the future pillars of Youbei Sanlu, and you should also begin to understand the general trend of the world. Today, our masters and apprentices are open to the boldness and outspokenness of our hearts, no matter how ridiculous and stupid the strategies in our hearts may be! So, since we are the people of Youbei Third Road, let's start with Youbei Third Road...... Shi'an, since you are their senior, and you are the one who proposed to take the teaching test...... According to the old man, you will personally come to be the person who throws bricks and jade, right? ”

Hearing this, Wan Changning pulled the thick sheepskin that had slipped off the banquet with both hands, and then nodded gently, cleared his throat, and glanced at the students present, and Langsheng said: ......
