Chapter 472: The true protégé of the Son of Heaven
Fang Xuanling and Ma Erren came soon.
Listening to Li Yuanji talk about the affairs of Chen Capital, although this is only a small probability problem, this incident also sounded the alarm for them.
What is the reason why a talent that the imperial court spent a lot of material, human and financial resources and took four years to cultivate, so he refused the call of the imperial court?
Of course, Li Yuanji's method of arrangement has factors that induce them to refuse, but no matter how much they induce them, the fact that they can make the decision to refuse will inevitably show that their psychological quality is not up to par, and they have some other ideas.
Whether it's applying what they've learned or being selfish, they just want to live a stable life, but they never want to do anything for the country?
It's just an isolated case, but it's a terrible thing.
Or it can be said that this is Li Yuanji cocooning himself, yes, from a level, it can indeed be described as a cocoon self-binding.
But this form of education, including the imperial examination system, has undergone tremendous changes, which has become the norm, and it has also made the government taste the sweetness.
Just give up like this, and naturally I don't want to do anything in my heart.
"At this time, only by strengthening ideological education can we rest assured." After thinking about it, Li Yuanji said directly.
"But the more you care about some things, the bigger you do it, the more you will do the opposite." Fang Xuanling said with some concern: "It's okay to strengthen ideological education, but the question is, how to strengthen it?" And what to strengthen? While achieving the goal, how can they ensure that this degree is acceptable to them and at the same time beneficial to the imperial court? ”
No matter what era or what form of ideological education, the fundamental purpose of ideological education lies in the interests of the upper strata.
In layman's terms, it is a kind of ideological enslavement adopted by the upper echelons in order to ensure their own interests, in order to continue to control the entire situation and more people.
Before this, because Li Yuanji didn't make so many things, it was relatively easy for most people to enslave, and the name of an emperor, plus showing up from time to time, or making a certain decision that was beneficial to everyone, could well stabilize the emperor's position.
But now it's different, the people's wisdom is gradually opening, and the people who have opened the people's wisdom will naturally have a broader mind.
Even if 9,999 out of 10,000 people think of it, they don't dare to do it, but there are always one or two who want to try it, and in the long run, this kind of unfavorable factor will appear.
Frankly speaking, in the early days of the Republic of China in later generations, Brother Cannon belonged to an obvious example of having strong thinking and insufficient strength, and although Brother Datou was strong enough, after his death, this situation also changed, and it was a typical example of having enough strength but not having a hard mind.
Therefore, from this point of view, strengthening ideological education is an inevitable result, but how to strengthen it is another matter.
The army has its own methods, schools have its own methods, and the people have their own methods, and the three must not be the same, nor can they be the same, otherwise there will be chaos.
"Start from two aspects, on the one hand, look for various cases for in-depth analysis, and on the other hand, select combat heroes from the army to go to major academies to preach." In this regard, Li Yuanji has not many methods, and can only start from these two aspects, one is to arouse their self-thinking, and the other is to arouse their enthusiasm, in this way to forcibly change their thinking and guide them on the road of patriotism.
The matter was quickly ordered, and the specific ones naturally did not need to be handled by Li Yuanji, Fang Xuanling would do a good job, and Ma Zhou had a more thorough understanding of various places because of his work, and the cooperation of the two could complement each other very well.
……
A month later, all the students selected by the four academies finally arrived in Chang'an.
And the thirteen people who have been staying in Chang'an, and the thirteen people from the two academies of Chang'an and Luozhou, who have already come to Chang'an, are bored and about to become moldy.
Although there was no restriction on their freedom, they were required to stay in a small courtyard where they did not know what it was.
Someone is naturally responsible for eating, drinking, and living, but if you want to leave here, you can't do it for the time being.
This feeling is actually no different from squatting in prison, but there are obvious differences, such as treatment.
Fortunately, the day of seeing the light of day has finally come, if they know that the reason why they have been locked up here for so long is to wait for the students of Zhenbei and Yangzhou Academy, I wonder what these people will think?
Of course, I don't want to talk about ideas or not.
In the afternoon of this day, the official who had been in charge of their daily life informed them to sort out their personal hygiene problems, and then they were taken directly into the Taiji Palace.
And after entering a palace, Zhai Liang's mouth was long enough to fit a whole fist.
Looking at the familiar face and pinching the jade pendant that was hidden deep on his body, he couldn't believe it.
took two steps forward, it was difficult to hide the excitement on his body, and he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Li!" Haha, I didn't expect Brother Li to be here! ”
Today's Li Yuanji is not wearing clothes that represent the emperor's identity, and yellow has not been positioned as the emperor's unique color at this time, but the emperor's clothes have some dragon decorations, which are still relatively easy to distinguish.
In addition, only Li Yuanji stood quietly in the hall, and after a few months, Zhai Liang was able to see his former acquaintances here, and it was false to say that he was unhappy.
And at the beginning, Li Jie was able to read a huge work like "The Book of Songs", is there any problem with appearing here now? Who doesn't know that the "Book of Songs" is actually in the palace, and what can be seen must be an important person around the emperor.
And Zhai Liang went back to his hometown in the countryside directly after leaving that day, and he didn't pay attention to these in the future, so he naturally didn't know that Li Jie was Li Yuanji's former name, and Li Jie was the emperor, that is, Li Yuanji.
"I really didn't expect that you and I would be able to meet here today, it seems that this is destined to be the fate between you and me!" Being able to meet acquaintances, Li Yuanji was naturally very happy.
If Li Yuanji could take a serious look at those materials, it would not be difficult to find that there was an acquaintance of his own, but unfortunately he didn't read it, so he didn't know until now that there was an acquaintance of his own among these people.
Fate can only be described in one sentence, wonderful.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of nineteen students, and all of them have arrived!" The official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of leading the way saluted Li Yuanji, holding the roster of the nineteen people and some simple information in his hand. It's not that he wants to deliberately spoil the atmosphere, but Zhai Liang is so bold that he dares to call Brother Li to the emperor, do you really think you are the prince? Even the prince wouldn't dare to call it that. So he could only stand up and destroy the atmosphere, and at the same time warn Zhai Liang, boy, so do it yourself.
The excited face of "Your Majesty......" instantly became extremely frightened, and the other students who had not yet reacted also opened their mouths one by one.
No one thought that the emperor would wait for them here, and no one thought that the emperor would be so young and so amiable.
And Zhai Liang ......
Many people have already wiped huge beads of sweat in their hearts, and they are dead, and they even call Emperor Brother Li......
"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, and I have a good conversation with you, so I don't need to care about these details." Li Yuanji waved his hand and signaled that it was okay.
But no matter what Li Yuanji signaled, Zhai Liang didn't dare to take it seriously.
Until now, he didn't understand that he just wanted to hug his thighs, so that someone could say justice for himself when he was bullied in the future, but he didn't expect this hug to hug the emperor's thighs.
Mommy......
It feels terrifying when I think about it, and that Liang Ziyi still wanted to take the Book of Poetry from the emperor, but I don't know if the goods are cold now.
Well, no matter whether Liang Ziyi is cool or not, anyway, Zhai Liang feels that he is about to be cold, and he is scared by himself.
Hurriedly took out the jade pendant that Li Yuanji gave him that day, and with the slightest residual warmth, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The student didn't know His Majesty's identity that day, but he accepted such a valuable gift from His Majesty, and the student deserved it, I hope Your Majesty will take it back!" ”
As soon as Zhai Liang said this, there were even more envious eyes around him, and he even asked the emperor to give a gift, how did this product come about?
"How can I take back what I have sent?" Li Yuanji signaled Zhai Liang to accept it boldly, he didn't expect Zhai Liang to come, of course, because of Zhai Liang's appearance, he actually indirectly helped himself.
Smiling slightly, he continued: "I won't say much, let's talk about the task of this trip, you nineteen people were selected by me from thousands of graduates, and each of them has undergone a strict condition review, and I am also very pleased, at least you have not forgotten yourself and me."
Not everyone is qualified to make this choice, and those who choose to say no will never know what they have rejected.
Aren't you curious about what your mission is? Actually, it's nothing, this task is as simple as drinking and eating on weekdays for you, that is, to continue to study, in the shortest possible time, to learn the knowledge that I will give you next, and then use this knowledge to do more things.
If you have to say it more clearly, you can also say that from now on, you are the real disciples of the Son of Heaven, you are different from those people outside, they are just bearing a name, but I and you will have the reality of master and apprentice.
The reason why this simple matter is so complicated is also very simple, I can't give this knowledge to those who are not right-minded, to those who are selfish, because if I hand it over to them, it will probably destroy the entire Tang Dynasty......"
Li Yuanji's words lingered in everyone's minds for a long time, shocked, shocked, excited, excited.
No one thought of it, and would never have thought of it, that the unknown task was actually to become a real protégé of the Son of Heaven, which was actually to learn new knowledge and then use this knowledge to do more things.
What is this knowledge? They didn't know, but they could roughly guess where they were going in the future, the Datang Academy of Sciences.
