Chapter 182: Guilt
"Why don't you go to other academies! Those old masters here around the mountain are not easy to talk to! ”
"The scholar's bullshit is kind-hearted, if other academies are willing to accept it, Lao Tzu is still reluctant to send the baby to you! is full of benevolence and righteousness, and at a critical time, he refuses to accept even a baby, what kind of scholar is it? ”
Wei Chigong jumped like thunder, panting while scolding, and Cai Cong was careful to jump his liver, for fear that he would be angry and beat himself up in his own house.
"I don't care, the old man has finished the total, and you are so bullied in the master of Man Chang'an, you must give me an answer to this matter, otherwise this matter is not over, and you have to return the gift to me."
Cai Cong really wants to knock on the drum and voice his grievances at this moment, why is Lao Tzu so bullied? And Xiao Liuzi said that the tiger was outside the house, and he didn't enter my house at all, right?
"You are an uncle, I'm afraid you won't succeed? In this way, the kid writes a letter of recommendation and lets him enter the enlightenment class of the academy? When the time comes, he can go to the advanced class to listen to the class, and no one will drive him out! ”
Cai Cong said with some pain, he had a recommended place in his hand, he originally wanted to wait for the exam to see who didn't get a baby in the exam, and sold it to him at a high price, but now he wants to use it in this kind of place.
"Done! It's so done! Wei Chigong shouted with satisfaction, and finally asked Cai Cong in confusion: "But does my son have to go to the advanced class to listen to the class?" ”
Cai Cong almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, you came to the enlightenment class to say it earlier! People will take the exam tomorrow but go straight to the advanced class, so they will pick the time.
"If you can't go, don't force it, send your second baby to the academy tomorrow, in view of his special situation, you can let him take a scholar to take care of him." Wu Guogong, are you still satisfied? ”
"Satisfied, satisfied?"
"Do you want the gift back?"
"No, no, this big insect is a good thing, the meat is a great supplement, the bones can be soaked in wine, and the robe made of tiger skin is the warmest, make a dress for your old man, and make sure he is happy." What, the old man said goodbye first, and I will bring the baby to thank you tomorrow! ”
Yu Chi Gongle grinned, patted Cai Cong's shoulder lightly, and almost jumped out of the hall. How many sins he and his wife have made for this second son, and now there is finally a academy willing to accept him.
Cai Cong personally sent him outside the door, listening to the laughter of joy and sorrow coming from afar, and couldn't help but sigh the hearts of parents all over the world. If it weren't for the idiot, he would be a dignified prince who would need to play a scoundrel in front of a yellow-mouthed child, and lose face?
After all, there are not many people like Wei Chi who are willing to put down their skins, Cai Cong sat at home for a day, and no one came to the door.
The next day, Li Shimin deliberately dismissed the dynasty for a day, and it is estimated that he will not be able to deal with many things today, he will personally send the princes to study, and by the way, go to see the sons of the ministers, and see if there are any particularly outstanding ones, and they will be placed in suitable positions as soon as possible in the future.
Cai Cong is wearing very simple clothes today, a blue-gray robe, and a light red headband to tie his hair casually, looking like an unlucky child who has fallen home.
The road of the academy was blocked, not because Li Shimin came, but because there were too many carriages of those rich and noble.
How did that come about? Horses and dead people walk on the ground. Since the road has been blocked tightly by the carriage, let's walk once! So the old man and the young master were a little leisurely, and the subordinates were tired of carrying things and couldn't breathe.
Instead, those poor children carried a few sets of clothes on their backs, and strode towards the academy with cheerful steps with their fathers.
One hundred and eighty years ago, the ancestors faced the loess, and now they finally have the opportunity to have a reader, and they are so happy that they can't sleep for a few nights.
When he arrived at the academy, he handed over the certificate issued by the clan elder and the neighbors, proving that he was a person of perfect character, Zhao Zhujie, who was sitting on the side, would solemnly point to the big characters hanging on the wall and said: "Today, when I entered the academy, the first word I taught you is filial piety, the Ru family has been difficult for generations, and now you are such a Ding Zhuang, your parents will work harder, so you should thank your parents for their love, no matter what your achievements are in the future, don't forget the kindness of your parents." ”
With tears in his eyes, the young man knelt down to his father, who was silently wiping his tears, and knocked his head three times: "My son bids farewell to his father, and he will study hard in the future." ”
After that, he turned around and kowtowed to the gate of the academy three times, if there was no Huanshan Academy, he would probably be the same as his father in this life, facing the loess and watching God's face to eat.
After knocking, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve, picked up his clothes and strode into the academy, he didn't dare to look back at his father, for fear that he would not be able to help them go back to help them farm together.
Such scenes can be seen everywhere, when the rich and noble have not yet gone out. These poor families have already hit the road at night, for fear of missing the opportunity to go to school.
"That's a great move! As a son of man, the first filial piety. I love this academy very much! Li Shimin looked at the scene in front of him and said sadly, the poor family still has the feeling of licking the calf, why can't his father be himself!
"Your Majesty wants to achieve great things in the world, you must always be a little willing, you and the Emperor Taishang are both heroes in troubled times, this kind of licking calf affection is a luxury for you?"
Wei Fuzi looked at the scene in front of him happily and persuaded Li Shimin with regret. Since you have snatched the throne, don't think about the beautiful scenery of the moon in the water in these mirrors.
"The Emperor is extremely filial, is there really no chance at all?"
Li Shimin asked unwillingly, Wei Fuzi pointed to the shabby boy in wear and said: "Your Majesty should look for him for this matter, the old man firmly believes that if there is a person in this world who turns decay into magic, it must be him." ”
Li Shimin was in awe, there is such a talent in the world. Wait, that figure is a little familiar,! Isn't it Cai Cong? "Sir, what is that kid doing? What kind of dignity does a prince dress like this and talk and laugh with businessmen? ”
Li Shimin looked at Cai Cong, who was chatting and laughing with the businessman, and asked with a dark face. Shinong businessman, when does a prince want to break the festival and talk with a group of businessmen?
"It's not about money, this academy needs 150,000 pieces of money and cloth in a year, the imperial court won't give this money, and Your Majesty can't give so much. He could have taken it out, but he didn't dare to take it, and the crime of inviting people to buy people's hearts was enough to make his head fall to the ground. Therefore~ I can only find some businessmen who have money to donate money, and they have made a strong contribution. ”
Wei Fuzi said with a smile, in his opinion, the academy is an opportunity for Cai Cong to become a saint, and now that he is suppressed by the royal family, it is already great to be able to become a saint in the future.
"I'm sorry for him!" Li Shimin looked at Cai Cong, who was talking and laughing, and said a few words in a half-loud, he also knew that the academy was getting stronger and stronger, and Cai Cong might really be able to be canonized. But Datang doesn't need a saint, and he doesn't dare to bet, betting on Cai Cong's loyalty with this talented academy, which is too expensive, and he can't afford to gamble.
"What's the difficulty, the king is a minister, since he is a courtier of His Majesty, he can't care about personal gains and losses. He also understands this, otherwise he would not have tried to ask you to be the chief of the mountain in the first place. ”
Wei Fuzi said calmly, Li Shimin's face was ashamed, at this time, the army finally came, and the poor children in front of the academy also entered. Wei Fuzi said goodbye to Li Shimin, walked up and ordered someone to put the book case, and he was about to start the exam.
The originally noisy entrance of the academy immediately quieted down, the students took their seats one by one, and the parents watched nervously.
