Cai Cong smiled and ignored her, and when he saw that the food was served, he beckoned everyone to eat. He ate a lot, and the others were unhappy, the life in the palace was too miserable, no matter what the dish was, it had to be tried by the palace maid. In the time when they confirmed that it was not poisonous, Cai Cong had already eaten happily. waited for them to get off the chopsticks, but at this time, the dishes were almost turned over by Cai Cong.

When he boarded, he had no appetite to eat anymore, put down his chopsticks and glanced at Cai Cong angrily, and walked out of the small box directly.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai were very happy to eat with a sumptuous meal, Li Ke and Li You were angry, their guards couldn't get the food, and they were still hungry.

Seeing the eldest grandson and them coming out, he immediately walked up to complain, but the eldest grandson pointed to the prince and Li Tai who were eating with an expressionless face, and asked unhappily: "Why do they have food to eat, why don't you have it?" ”

Li Ke, Li You was speechless when he squeaked, and the eldest grandson snorted coldly and walked out of the cafeteria.

Why is the gap between the emperor's heirs so big? I can't even work around it, I can't serve a meal by myself, how can I manage the fiefdom of Nuoda in the future? Thinking of this, the eldest grandson was even more determined to let the prince come here to study.

"I heard that something terrible happened in the academy a few days ago, and Chang'an Hou wanted to take the blame and resign from the position of mountain chief, is there such a thing?"

Everyone else was separated, only the eldest grandson, Cai Cong, Li Chengqian, and Wei Fuzi and Zhao Zhujie were there.

The eldest grandson seemed to be talking casually, and Li Chengqian looked at the other three with some hope. Wei Fuzi smiled and turned his head to look at the scenery in the distance outside the window, Cai Cong buttoned his nails and tore them a little, but he didn't talk.

Only Zhao Zhujie said stubbornly: "This is true, but we have already persuaded Hou Ye, although Hou Ye is young, but he is talented and talented, and his morality is superior, Shilin also has a lot of respect for Hou Ye, and the students are not willing to Hou Ye, so we hope that Hou Ye will continue to serve as the mountain chief." ”

The eldest grandson's face immediately became ugly, he looked at Cai Cong with raised eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "Does Chang'an Hou think the same way?" ”

"The minister doesn't think like this, the minister is a shallow scholar, and he really hopes that there will be a prestigious big man to serve as the head of the academy." Cai Cong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the eldest grandson, there was nothing to talk about.

In order to have a long history, of course, the academy wants Li Shimin to be the backer, but the royal family wants Li Chengqian to be the mountain chief, so it is impossible for the masters to agree.

"The palace thinks that the prince is very suitable, but he can also be condescended to be the head of this mountain." The eldest grandson patted Li Chengqian's hand as he spoke, with a satisfied expression.

"I can't say yes."

Wei Fuzi retracted his gaze and looked at the eldest grandson and said firmly. The eldest grandson had an angry face on his face, and looked at everyone present majestically, Cai Cong shrunk his neck, and Wei Fuzi looked at the queen calmly, not afraid of her anger at all.

"The students of the academy will become talented in batches, it will take another seven or eight years, from that time onwards, the court will be filled with a large number of academy talents, their talents, courage far beyond the students of other academies, at that time His Royal Highness was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and those young talents are His Royal Highness's protégés, when will your majesty deal with himself? How should His Highness deal with himself? ”

"This ......"

The eldest grandson was speechless, if the crown prince's authority was too heavy and his prestige was too high, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion, wasn't that the case with Li Shimin back then?

Niangniang also knows what the situation will be, in addition to the students of the academy who write poems and songs well, more importantly, ...... In the future, they must be people who do practical things, and this kind of person may be slow to be promoted, but they have a good reputation. The Marquis of Chang'an is more suitable than the prince to be the chief of the mountain, and if he is rebellious, His Majesty can cut him directly, but what about the prince? Does Niangniang hope that His Majesty will kill his brother and kill his brother after killing him? ”

Wei Fuzi was aggressive, the eldest grandson's face turned white in a few words, Cai Cong was afraid that the eldest grandson's body would not be able to stand it and hurriedly stood up and said: "Huanshan Academy is the best in the world, Niangniang probably doesn't know, the students in the academy have all been booked, and as long as the middle and upper students are in the imperial examination, whether it is the six departments or the place, they can be at ease." Therefore, the minister wants to ask Niang Niang to persuade His Majesty to become the chief of the mountain, and the choice between the gain and loss of face and a group of heroes, Your Majesty should be able to make a choice. ”

"I have already thought about it, and the master will be the chief of the mountain." Li Shimin pushed open the door and strode in, everyone present was surprised, why did Li Shimin come?

"Your Majesty, why are you here? The Son of Heaven needs ...... thirty miles away from Beijing."

"I need to open the guard of honor and not pay a private visit, I know all this, but it would be too laborious and costly, so I came like this."

Li Shimin was dressed in civilian clothes, said casually, and bowed to Wei Fuzi, this is the enlightenment teacher, even if he is now the son of heaven, he can't be rude.

"The minister is afraid that the imperial history will know, and the minister will be wronged and abducted His Majesty from Beijing."

"That's it? Sit down, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, you are the head of this academy, I don't worry, the secret guard has been looking for me several times, I hope I come forward and ask for a few people from the academy, so that the dark guard can be so tempted, these students are not ordinary. ”

"It's best not to be the head of the mountain, so the minister is relieved." Cai Cong said sincerely, after the locust plague, there were secret sentinels inside and outside his house, which made him fearful.

If he handed over his money and power, he would not be suspicious of Li Shimin, and Cai Cong would be absolutely willing.

In this way, everyone is happy, Li Shimin still can't let go of his face, and chooses Wei Fuzi, who has a deep intersection with him, to be the head of the mountain, everyone will be happy, and the academy will not have to worry about being destroyed like the Jixia School Palace.

Accompanying Li Shimin to visit the academy, looking at the mountainside houses that were still under construction, Li Shimin pointed to how big he planned to build.

Cai Cong hurriedly replied: "After the plan is completed, the work will be stopped after the construction can be used to live for 5,000 people." ”

"Five thousand?"

Li Shimin shouted, Cai Cong's ambition is too big! "Do you know that 5,000 people are comparable to a small county town, do you know how much money it costs to build like this?"

Li Shimin said distressedly, the ownership of the academy has been recovered, and naturally Cai Cong will not be allowed to pay this money again. But suddenly he wanted to pay such a large sum of money, and he felt distressed.

"At the beginning, the budget was 1 million yuan, 100,000 yuan a year, and now the budget needs 700,000 yuan." Cai Cong said with some schadenfreude, don't think it's all good things, there are times when you feel distressed when you spend money.

"Press, go back and think about making more money, otherwise you will be more and more nervous year by year, which is really not the way."

Li Shimin said calmly, anyway, the money in the inner government was earned by Cai Cong, and no matter how distressed he was, Cai Cong would be bitter.

The top is so oppressive, what can we do, I can't laugh, I can only admit it with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, did the princes really come to study at the academy?"

"There's a plan, what, is there a problem?" Li Shimin glanced at Cai Cong and asked with a hint of oppression.

"No problem, no problem, we will enroll students on the 10th of next month, and let the princes sign up when the time comes! However, servants are not allowed in the academy, and the princes even have to wash their own clothes, can they do it? ”

Cai Cong said happily, as if he saw countless pieces of silver flying in the sky, the old Li family sent the child to Huanshan Academy regardless of the words released back then, and the other nobles had to come in a hurry?
