Li Xin left Xingyang and came to Chang'an under the escort of the Guards, but what he said in Huancuiyu was spread all over the country, and although many people objected, they had to admit that Li Xinjiang's words were reasonable. People can't find a point of view when they oppose it. Those poor children are happy, and they are singing praises of Li Xin's exploits all the time.

The most distinctive is Donggaozi Wang Ji, the day after Li Xin left, he also left Xingyang in an ox cart and returned to Longmen, and has never left Longmen since.

"His Majesty the Emperor is His Majesty the Emperor, the general trend is by the emperor's side, and Dong Gaozi has no way," In Chang'an City, Pei Shiju is even older, under the dripping eaves, his whole body is shrunk in the recliner, and his son Pei Xuanji and son-in-law Li Dewu stand respectfully on the side.

"Father, Donggaozi came mainly for the affairs of the academy, Your Majesty has decided to establish a school in various prefectures, establish a county school in the county, and find a place for the world's scholars to study, so that the family of the family may be much behind, and many people will not die and study the family study." Pei Xuanji said very calmly.

"Hasn't His Majesty the Emperor always been like this? That's how it was when I was in the Northwest. Pei Shiju said indifferently.

"Brother is worried about the Pei family." Li Dewu looked at it clearly on the side, and couldn't help but whisper, Li Xin's move is really powerful, at least there are many poor people who think about Li Xin's good, and those big families can't oppose it at all.

"Huh! These people are really nervous, Your Majesty built a county school and a government school, and when they arrived in Chang'an, there were Taixue and Guozijian, but don't those big families still have a family study? His Majesty did not close the ethnography, this is a fact. Pei Shiju said indifferently: "These people only know how to care about some details, but they don't know what is more important. ”

"Father mean those miscellaneous studies?" Pei Xuanji suddenly realized, but said puzzledly: "Father." Are the miscellaneous studies that the emperor said useful? Li Dewu also looked at his father-in-law very curiously, although this thin old man, although he looked old, but in fact, he still had a very important position in the court, and he was trusted by the emperor.

"Miscellaneous? Who told those were miscellaneous? Pei Shiju glanced at his son with disdain, and said: "Don't underestimate those things, that's the real learning of the world, whoever underestimates those things will suffer in the end." Don't say that it's a champion, even if it's a person, you can't think of it, do you think His Majesty the Emperor is just talking about it casually? His Majesty the Emperor must listen carefully to every thing he says, and small things should be handled as big things, and if they are big things, then they will be dealt with with bigger things. Your Majesty the Emperor of Miscellaneous Studies, you are talking about, but you attach great importance to it. If you don't believe me, next year when you take the exam. You will find that on the test paper, there are not only poems and songs, but also strategies. There are also these miscellaneous studies, at least there are some of them, such as agricultural time, criminal law, and arithmetic, but their respective emphases are different. ”

"These things can also be compared to the study of saints?" Pei Xuanji's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant.

Pei Shiju glanced at his son lightly, but did not speak. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart, his son was not a politician. Even if he can be an official, he will never be able to do what he does, because he has no political sensitivity, and he has absolutely no sensitivity to grasp the direction of the imperial court, and he can only be a minister in his life, not a cabinet minister.

Li Dewu didn't understand the reason for this, but he understood one thing very well, that is, he was clumsy, his father-in-law was an old monster, and he played tricks in front of him, that is, looking for death.

"Xuanji, after I die, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward me, as for where, the old man doesn't know, at that time, you don't want to stay in Chang'an, Your Majesty let me be buried somewhere, then you will go somewhere, without Your Majesty's holy decree, you don't want to go back to Chang'an." Pei Shiju sighed.

"Father." Pei Xuanji's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but whisper.

"Although Fu'er gave birth to a prince, but there is absolutely no chance to inherit the throne, if you stay in Beijing, it will definitely stir up the storm in the future, Your Majesty may look at my face at that time and spare your life, but it will be a blow to my Pei family." Pei Shiju's eyes were like torches, staring at Pei Xuanji and said: "You are just a middle-aged person, you have to be cautious about making a book, but if you are a pavilion elder, sooner or later your Pei family will be sent into the abyss, you are not the opponent of the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen." It's better to leave the imperial court. ”

"Father, I heard that Your Majesty intends to divide the meritorious ministers?" Li Dewu said cautiously.

"Yes, the emperor did it in front of the old man, but these places are definitely not in the Central Plains." Pei Shiju said very calmly: "As for where it is, I don't know, it's not impossible to be a grassland, or a Goguryeo, or even Fusang." It's just that the world is undecided at this time, and these things are said earlier. ”

After Pei Xuanji heard this, his heart darkened, these places are not the Central Plains, but soon he was happy in his heart, although it was not the Central Plains, but it was also a fief belonging to the Pei family, no matter how much, this was much better than in the Central Plains.

"All right, go down! Your Majesty will return to Beijing in about five days, and you will have to go down and get ready. There are many things in the DPRK and China, and the soldiers who follow His Majesty to fight should be rewarded, and those who should be compensated should be compensated, and these things must be done well. Even at home, Pei Shiju couldn't help but tell his son and son-in-law.

"This, father-in-law, my son-in-law recently met a woman in red, who seems to be Dugu Feng of the Dugu family." Li Dewu suddenly thought of something and said: "She recently haunted the old house of Dugu's family outside the city. ”

"Leave her alone. Didn't you see that Wang Jidu had already appeared in Xingyang? Those people were in a hurry, this time Li Yuan dug the Yellow River, the government and the opposition were very disappointed, the Dugu family is also like this, the world is fighting, isn't it like this, didn't the Pei family also divide Pei Lin and me Pei Shiju back then? The same is true for the Dugu family, Dugu Huaien does not have much power by Li Yuan's side now, so it is normal for Dugu Feng to appear in Chang'an. ”

"Father, I heard that Dugufeng and His Majesty are old acquaintances?" Pei Xuanji couldn't help but say: "That Dugufeng is independent, he is already in his twenties, but he hasn't married yet?" Isn't it? ”

"Shut up." Pei Shiju glared at his son, and couldn't help but say, "The matter of the Son of Heaven is also something you can discuss?" Even if it is, you have to bury it in my heart for me, and no one can say anything. ”

"Yes, yes." Pei Xuanji's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he quickly nodded and said. (To be continued.) )
