The next day, Wu Qing stepped into the Zhenguan Palace.

Empress Dowager Wu's feelings for this nephew and son-in-law are complicated, but in short, she is very pleased, with Wu Qing, she can finally clean up the ministers who oppose him in the court with peace of mind, so as soon as Wu Qing entered the palace, he ordered Wei Tuan'er to bring all kinds of treasures from the Western Regions to pay tribute, and let Wu Qing choose a few and bring them home.

After a short time, Wei Tuan'er led more than 20 palace maids in, each of whom was holding a tray in her hand, and there were rare treasures in the tray. Wu Qing has seen them one by one, they are all treasures of the Western Regions, there are fist-sized night pearls, glass lamps with light and people, and agarwood that looks like an old man, etc. Wu Qing saw that there was a Ruyi carved with bloodstone, and there was a pair of dragons and phoenixes entangled on this Ruyi, which was lifelike. However, among all the treasures, this jade Ruyi is indeed the worst.

"Mother, this is all the child needs." Wu Qing said.

Empress Dowager Wu thought for a moment, then waved everyone away, and then asked, "Qing'er must have something to do here, let's hear it." ”

Wu Qing decided to say it anyway, after all, now that the turmoil in the DPRK and China has begun, it is better to get out as soon as possible, so he said: "The child wants to resign from the post of General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, and he can write a book in Qingxin Academy with peace of mind, and ask my mother for permission." ”

Empress Dowager Wu was stunned for a moment, and she didn't get angry immediately, she was thinking about why Wu Qing had such thoughts. If it were Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, or Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong and others, they would definitely not do this, and they would try their best to let her promote their official positions. General Zuo Yu Lin Wei and the champion general are all positive three products, compared to the prime minister and the prince. Not high at all. What's more, now Wuqing has prestige in both Shilin and the army, so he retreated bravely, what did he do wrong?

Could it be Pei Yan? It took only ten days from the trial of Pei Yan to the killing of Pei Yan. And the crime is treason, and there is no real authentication and physical evidence. But killing Pei Yan must be killed, otherwise where is her authority as the queen mother. It seems that killing Pei Yan scared Wu Qing, who had always been cautious.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Wu smiled and said, "You are very careful, but don't forget jì, you have your mother's surname." I am the heir of my martial family, and I am a sister to your mother, no matter where you go. It's all true. Among the descendants of my Wu family, although Wu Chenghei has a strategy, he is narrow-minded and difficult to achieve great things. Wu Sansi looks like a talent. It's a pity that Jin Yu is ruined on the outside, he has a heart, but he doesn't have much talent. Wu Youyi is loyal and honest, but his qualifications are mediocre, Wu Yizong is ugly, ruthless, and vicious, and he is not good for doing big things. It's just you. It can be of great use, not only with high intelligence. In addition to greedy for beauty, he is a good talent, if I don't use you, who else can I use? Who else can you trust? You are the only way out for my martial artist. For the time being, you can be your general Zuo Yu Lin Wei with peace of mind, and take care of the north gate for me. I can get a good night's sleep, you know? ”

It turns out that this Empress Dowager Wu is an understanding person, and she is also clear about the character of the heirs of the Wu family, he shouldn't know his own industry, but even if he knows, what can he do, no matter what, Empress Dowager Wu is also surnamed Wu. It's a big deal that all those industries are given to her, and the gold and silver she earns are enough to spend several lifetimes.

Empress Dowager Wu said so, and it can be regarded as having a heart-to-heart with Wu Qing, even if Wu Qing is not at ease, he has to feel at ease, so he turned his head and kowtowed, and said: "Mother Xie treats the child well, and the child will survive for the future of the Wu family, and he will never give up." ”

Wu Qing did not say that it was for the Empress Dowager Wu, but for the Wu family, and for a while, the Empress Dowager Wu didn't hear anything wrong, but she was very happy, and then left Wu Qing to have lunch together.

Wu Qing got the letter, so he first went to the north gate to inspect it, so that the soldiers could not relax their training. After a few months of development, Qingxin Academy has become popular, and admission has become extremely strict, because there are too many people who come to Qingxin Academy to study, and it is free, so from the children of famous families to the poor children, in short, there are people who come to study every month.

In this regard, Wu Qing decided that the total number of students in Qingxin Academy was less than 800, and more than one person could not do it. The entrance test became an entrance exam, and the general examination was divided into professional exams, and the best candidates were selected from top to bottom.

Therefore, there are candidates who come to the test every month to reserve the next place on campus. Wu Qing looked at the students who were answering the questionnaire in the tent outside the school, and couldn't help but have an idea. went directly into the official residence and called the master.

"How many students come to take the entrance exam every day?"

Yu Zhubo pondered for a moment and said, "Back to the dean, the number of people who come to take the entrance examination every day ranges from ten to hundred, and if it is around April, there are thousands of people. ”

Wu Qing already had a plan in his heart, so he said: "Since this is the case, then tomorrow we will post a notice saying that the entrance examination is scheduled for the first day of September every year, and a unified entrance examination will be conducted, and there will be no entrance examination at ordinary times." However, there are 30 places of audit qualifications per month, and the accommodation is at your own expense. Do you understand? ”

After hearing this, Yu Zhubo's face was happy, so that he reduced a lot of workload, although September will definitely be very busy at that time, but it will not be like now, and he has to deal with the entrance examination papers every day. He immediately said: "The dean's method is good, although September is the busy season for farming, but the people who come to take the entrance exam are all concentrating on their studies, so it is very good." ”

Wu Qing smiled and said, "Invite the two vice presidents over, I have something to say." ”

Not long after, Wang Bo and Lu Zhaolin came one after another, and now the two are in charge of arts and sciences, and they are son-in-law and father-in-law, so the cooperation is also relatively pleasant.

After the ceremony, Wu Qing let the two of them sit casually, and then said: "Basic mathematics, basic physics, and basic chemistry, how is the situation of the professors of these three courses?" ”

The question was about science, and Lu Zhaolin had the right to speak, so he said: "It has been divided into three school professors, and the effect is not very good, and some students have raised questions that make the professors cry and laugh." ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's all my fault, I didn't make it clear, so let's do it, how many people are there in these three academies?" ”

"There are about ninety people in total, does Yuanshan think it's wrong?"

Wu Qing said with a smile: "This basic mathematics, physics and chemistry must be learned by every student, and it is best to learn basic mathematics first, and then teach basic physics and basic chemistry." This makes it much easier for students to learn and they don't make jokes. And in the future, students who choose mathematics, physics and chemistry will choose more young ones, such as those who are about ten years old, they are old and not easy to shape, so it is better to let them study literature. ”

The two nodded yes, and then Wu Qing said, "What about the philosophical compilation?" It's a big head, and it's not to be sloppy. ”

Wang Bo said: "According to your requirements in Yuanshan, the rhetoric is very straightforward and easy to understand, and now it is about to end, and you will have to review it yourself when the time comes." ”

"Philosophy is the core value of science, and it can't be sloppy, and it's not just released now, let's improve it slowly."

"We understand." The two replied in unison that the philosophical proposal is based on the theory of martial arts and the expansion of ideological theories, which is the essence of martial arts and is completely different from Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Moism, Legalism, and so on. It can be said that when we truly understand the theory of science, we will realize the greatness of science and the greatness of Wuqing.

However, the purpose of Wu Qing's visit today is not for this, but for the purpose of running schools in various states and counties. Of course, at this point, Wu Qing has not yet told the Empress Dowager Wu, after all, this kind of fame is the worst thing that the people in power hate. He just wanted to put the whole thing on the agenda first, so that his two assistants could also think of a proper way.

Wu Qing paused and said, "I came today, first, to visit the two of you, to thank you for your contributions to Qingxin Academy, and secondly, to discuss with you the establishment of Qingxin Academy's primary and secondary schools in various states. ”

Wu Qing plans to set up primary schools in various counties to teach children between the ages of seven and 14 how to read words and learn simple mathematical operations. Establish middle schools in various states to teach students over the age of 14 to learn basic mathematics, Confucianism in science, as well as basic physics, basic chemistry, etc., with a four-year education period, while Qingxin Academy will directly become Qingxin University, with a university duration of three to five years, so that after ten years, Qingxin Academy will lead the entire Tang Dynasty science frenzy.

After Wang Bo and Lu Zhaoling listened to Wu Qing's words, they didn't speak for a long time, they were completely shocked, so that twenty years later, seventy percent of the officials in the court and the central government would probably come from Qingxin Academy. This made the two have to re-examine, what is Wu Qing going to do? Dominate the Tang Dynasty literary scene, or? But no matter what, they who have already entered the Qingxin Academy really can't help but be excited. Who wouldn't want to be a role model? Who doesn't want to be full of peaches and plums? Who doesn't want to go down in history?

What's more, both of them are famous literati in the Tang Dynasty, don't literati just want to be famous?

Wu Qing looked at the excited eyes of the two and said: "This is just an idea of mine, if you want to realize it, you have to report to the court and ask the Queen Mother for approval, so only the three of us know about this matter, you know it in your hearts, you must not leak the news, otherwise if someone preemptively tells the Queen Mother, then it is estimated that this matter will not be realized when it will be realized." ”

Wang Bo said: "Yuanshan rest assured, we know. ”

After Wu Qing said this, he wanted to rest a little, and when he returned to the mansion, he really didn't know whose room to go to, and all of them had big bellies and couldn't touch them. It's more comfortable to simply live in the academy.

So he let them go back, and he rested in the room. After a while, the waiter came to pay respects.

"Tell the dean, Hongnong Yang Jiong asks to see you."

Wu Qing shook his head, Yang Jiong was a Jinshi in the third year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, and he was the side house of the maiden family of the late Rongguo Lady Yang. In his early years, he was a prodigy, such as Yang of Wu, Wang, Yang, Lu, and Luo in the Chinese Academy today, this Yang Jiong.

"Let him in!" Wu Qing commanded. (To be continued......)
