"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

At this time, everyone who listened to the lecture knew that Datang was sitting behind him today, and in addition to being nervous, he was more excited, and stood up one after another and saluted Li Xin.

"You will all be the pillars of my Tang Dynasty in the future, and I still need you to govern my country, speaking of which, I have to ask you here." Li Xin also stood up and arched his hand towards everyone with a solemn face.

Li Xin is not wrong in this sentence, the most important thing in a country is not His Majesty the Emperor, nor the Prime Minister, but the county officials in various places, they control the locality, on behalf of the Son of Heaven and herdsmen, everything in the empire is handed over to the county order to execute, and the rise and fall of a country actually falls on the county order.

In all dynasties, the demise of an empire was mostly from the bottom up, and few high-level leaders could play a decisive role. Li Xin is high, but he takes the officials at the lowest level very seriously, and if a place is broken, it may lead to the most serious consequences.

"The grass people don't dare." Everyone didn't expect that Li Xin was the Son of Heaven, and like these scholars, they were even more excited, this is the real Ming Jun, even Donggaozi not far away has to admit that this ceremony, Li Xin is enough to buy the hearts of many scholars.

"Your Majesty, the villain heard that the queen mother opened a women's school in Chang'an, why can women study like men, can they also come out to be officials in the future?" In the crowd, a scholar suddenly asked loudly.

Li Xin looked over, but saw that it was a young man, with a lofty appearance, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, his eyes flashing, and he looked very good, probably only such a person would ask such a question at this time. Such people have always flaunted righteousness and do not care about worldly opinions, and these people have always made it their duty to offend the dragon and exhort the king.

Li Xin could only smile bitterly, such a person can't be killed, and the imperial court also needs such a person. He glanced at Dong Gaozi in the distance. Seeing that the other party looked calm, he even took a sip of wine, sneered in his heart, and said, "You are all scholars, don't you want to add fragrance to your red sleeves?" Don't you want to raise eyebrows with your wife? You all have elegant temperaments, you are all the pillars of the empire, do you want your wife to be just a tool for giving birth to children in the future? Don't you want to talk to yourself about poetry? What is the place for women's school? is not only to cultivate women's celebrities and know how to be skilled, but more importantly, to cultivate their temperament and cultivation, the queen compiled "Women's Rules". The above records are all the advanced deeds of virtuous women in ancient times, telling women all over the world that they should be a perfect woman, how to assist their husbands, make meritorious contributions, and serve the court, how? Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want such a woman? ”

"This?" The young man's face just now suddenly showed a complicated look, he didn't expect Li Xin to answer himself in this way. Either disappointed or curious. Disappointingly, the king of a country does not speak with righteousness and awe, but with the simplest of words. The most practical way to tell the female school what to do, but what is more curious is that if you can really marry such a woman, it seems to be a very lucky thing.

"Your Majesty. May I ask Your Majesty, not long ago, on the night of the first year, some people said that female students wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. will cause such a thing, although what the truth is, I don't know, if this is the case, does such a female school still need to exist? Another student dressed in black said loudly: "The queen is virtuous, the original intention is good, but the female school has obviously lost its original meaning, the villain thinks that such a female school does not exist, even if it is not there, now I am in the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy family is a family science, even if it is an ordinary place, it is also possible to hire erudite people to cultivate this matter, is it necessary to gather everyone together, what kind of female school?" ”

"Haha! These students are a bit interesting, you are all scholars, and you are all reading the way of sages, learning civil and military affairs well, and selling them to the emperor's family. There are many scholars in the world, but after some people become officials, they do not seek benefits for the people, do not serve the country loyally, but fill their own pockets, or disregard people's lives, or take bribes, how can such people be called scholars, they are simply scum in reading, in this case, is it useful to read? Why don't you read? Li Xin laughed and said: "Everything has a good side and a bad side, and we can't veto the majority of people because of the affairs of a small number of people." What's more, what is the truth about the events of Shangyuan Night? You don't know, and I don't know. Why are you so adamant about your opinion? ”

"This?" The black-clothed man was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Your Majesty, this study was originally an exclusive matter for our scholars, why should it be passed on to those poor students! In fact, the villain knows that every year in Enke, many of the students in the examination are the children of the wealthy families, and there are very few children from the poor family, in this case, why not focus on the children of the wealthy families, why bother to open schools in the world and recruit the children of the poor families! These people have a very poor foundation, even if they study more, they can't be on the emperor's list and can't be officials, on the contrary, the court will spend a lot of money on this? "A young man in a brocade robe, handsome in appearance, was born very well, but when his eyes swept to the other side, he showed disdain.

Li Xin also looked over, on the other side, there were also more than a dozen students, these students were wearing some cloth clothes, and even some of them had a lot of patches on their bodies, and they were not wearing cloth shoes or boots on their feet, some were just straw sandals. As soon as they saw everyone's eyes looking over, some of the students' faces turned red, full of shame.

In this era, there is a saying that people are born with 369 and so on, and some people can enjoy fine clothes and food after they are born, while some people work hard for their three meals, not to mention reading. Even if you read a book, you can enjoy very few resources.

"Above the three generations may be powerful, but is it also powerful above the tenth generation?" Li Xin saw it clearly, his face was a little colder, he walked in front of those poor disciples, helped these people up one by one, and said: "Although we are from a humble background, in order to change our destiny and strive for self-improvement, people can't live without dreams, as long as people have dreams, they will realize one day." Your ancestors may have been like these people, but in order to change everything for themselves and for the benefit of future generations, they lived the same life as them, working hard, studying the scriptures at night, and sometimes studying the scriptures. Traveling thousands of miles, looking for teachers and friends, seeking support, just like today, Donggaozi's predecessors came to Xingyang, so they came. Tell me how long it took you to get here. ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it took the grass people five days to go all the way." The scholar who was supported by Li Xin said in a low voice.

"Listen, look, in a pair of straw sandals. In order to seek the guidance of the great master, it took five days, let me ask, do you have such a scholar and such a will? Li Xin arched his hand towards Dong Gaozi and said: "The great master is a person who does learning, there were 3,000 disciples of Confucius Sage and 72 sages, and among these 72 people, there are very few high-ranking officials and nobles. There are farmers, there are merchants, and according to the current situation, most of them are lowly people. At that time, the Confucian saints were still unclassed, could it be that we, the descendants, were we. Read his books every day, but forget the root of them? The people can, let it be, but not not. Make it known. Isn't this the original word of the saint? ”

After Dong Gaozi heard this, his face changed completely, and he stood up. I didn't even find the wine gourd next to me when it fell to the ground, no one has ever doubted this sentence, or said that there is, but absolutely no one has explained it like today, even Dong Gaozi can't help but have doubts, could it be that this is what Sage Kong meant back then?

No, absolutely not, if this is the case, will the family still have an advantage after thousands of years? It is now, this kind of advantage, Wang Ji and others feel terrible. Although what the scholar said just now is reasonable, he also forgot one thing, that is, among the students on the list, there are more and more children from poor families, not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of geography.

"Your Majesty, the family family can help Your Majesty solve Li Zhao in the shortest possible time, look at that Li Zhao, he can confront His Majesty right now, isn't it because Li Zhao has the support of hundreds of family families, so that he can have endless grain and grass, and there are countless talents?" Dong Gaozi arched his hand and said: "If Your Majesty is willing, Lao Yu is willing to go to Hebei to persuade the Hebei and Bingzhou families to return to the Tang Dynasty, and provide some help for the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory." ”

This is the purpose of Wang Ji's coming to Xingyang, with the end of the battle of Shandong, there is a gap between Datang and Li Zhao in military strength again, the rise of Datang is already a matter of time, not this year, next year will definitely carry out a war to unify the world, and the world's families are facing the time of the team again. They are very optimistic about Li Tang, but Li Tang's rules make them afraid.

"Datang welcomes people of insight from all over the world to resolve the war as soon as possible and restore the unification of the world, but it can't go back to the past. The family can exist, but it will definitely not control the government of the Tang Dynasty. Senior Wang, is the current pseudo-Zhao still Li Yuan's world? I'm afraid it's the second former Sui! Li Xin said disdainfully: "Although it is impossible for my Datang to broaden the wisdom of the people, but let the people know a little more, so that everyone in the world can have books to read, so that these children of poor families have the opportunity to study, and they can control their own destiny, this is what I need to do." ”

"Your Majesty." Those poor disciples fell to the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted long live, crying bitterly.

In order to change their fate, they ignore the white eyes of the family, study everywhere, sometimes thirsty to drink mountain springs, and some are sleeping in deserted villages and broken temples, in order to see a rare ancient book, or to find a certain erudite person, it can be said that they have suffered a lot of grievances in front of the family, but today they feel that everything is worth it, when today's Zi Shengming, finally said a fair word for their poor children.

"I plan to build a university in Xingyang, where scholars from Henan Province come to study, tuition is free, and the university provides work-study opportunities. In the future, every prefecture will build such a school, and this school is at the foot of this Cuiyu Mountain. Li Xin said with a smile: "I hope everyone in the world has books to read." ”

"Your Majesty." Dong Gaozi sighed, he glanced at Li Xin deeply, but he was helpless in his heart. This is the general trend, the general trend that Donggaozi cannot resist.

?“ Remember, the sage has a word, there will be a reward if you pay, as long as you stick to your dreams, you can always achieve them. Li Xin glanced at Dong Gaozi deeply, and finally said to the scholars around him. (To be continued.) )
