Cai Yong looked pensive, and his eyes were still suspicious when he looked at Li Li, but he didn't continue to ask. Obviously, what Li Li said is the truth, and now there are indeed more and more people in the city, and the land of fireworks and willow lanes is becoming more and more prosperous, so that many students have no intention of studying, and there are not a few students who indulge in wine.
Cai Yong was silent, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and Kong Rong naturally didn't dare to ask more, they kept silent, silence was golden.
With Li Li's ascension to the throne as emperor, the change of identity and status was like an insurmountable chasm between the monarch and the minister. Let Hua Tuo and Kong Rong, these contemporary Confucians, dare not speak lightly when facing Li Li, for fear that if there are too many words, there will be too little, and the disaster will come out of the mouth, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, and even the door will be full.
The disparity in status has widened the distance between people, causing the old friends who had nothing to talk about before suddenly becoming strange, and they can no longer go back to the past, and they can't relive the scene of the knee-long night talk.
Prior to this, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji were frequent visitors to the General's Mansion, and it was common for them to go to the door twice in three days, eating and drinking, and it was not uncommon to even eat and take. However, as the call for Li Li to ascend the throne became higher and higher, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, the two divine doctors, rarely appeared in the General's Mansion, and unless Li Li ordered a summons, they would not step into the palace lightly, and even if they passed in front of the palace gate, they would take a detour, lest they bump into the family members of the Inner Mansion or be bumped into by Li Li. It's not that there is a conflict between them and Li Li and his family, but that they are old and good. He knows how to deal with the world, and he is worried that he will be involved with the royal people. Sooner or later, he will get into trouble, and his own life is small. It is a big deal to affect the old and young of the family, and it is undoubtedly the best policy to protect oneself with wisdom. Who is idle and has nothing to do to visit the emperor's house, thinking that his life is long and he is tired of life?
Since ancient times, this sentence is by no means nonsense, but a tried and tested truth in the world.
From ancient times to the present, emperors are ruthless, and the place where the people in the royal family are is the land of right and wrong, and whoever gets involved is unlucky. Maybe. For people who are obsessed with fame and fortune, they think about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix all day long, so as to win the favor of the king, so as to leap into the dragon gate and soar. But for Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, Kong Rong and others, they are now extremely popular ministers, with identity, status and fame, and their position is more than that of the three dukes, and their reputation is all over the world. They were satisfied with this, and there was nothing else to hope for.
As the saying goes, if you don't want to do it, you are strong. Now Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and others no longer have the luxury of talking to Li Li like before, and they have become friends for the year, and they only hope that they can teach in peace and stability. Teach what you have learned in your life, so that you will have no regrets in your life. As for other things, it has nothing to do with them. Neither enthusiastic nor participatory, all his thoughts are devoted to the education of the college.
If it weren't for the three colleges they were in, this time it wouldn't have been. They will never interfere, let alone bother about it. But when it comes to their teaching venues and students. They could not stay out of the way, and had to figure out why the emperor had suddenly ordered the rebuilding of the campus, and why the royal academy had been moved out of the city. In addition, they also have a very important thing to report to Li Li, to be precise, it should be a plea.
Among the recent rewards, among the tens of thousands of students who graduated from the Tai Academy, most of the students of the Military Academy were promoted and rewarded, and almost none of the students who were engaged in politics were promoted. For this reason, these students from Kong Rong, Cai Yong and other Confucian sects have great opinions, and they have asked their teachers to make decisions for themselves and come forward to ask for an explanation.
As for who can give them an explanation, it is self-evident, except for Emperor Li Li, why bother Cai Yong and Kong Rong, who are among the three princes, to come forward in person?
In other words, at the moment, only Cai Yong, Hua Tuo, Kong Rong and other respected national treasures dare to ask Li Li directly, and they can say whatever they want in front of Li Li; Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Li Li will not treat them well, in principle, as long as it does not involve military affairs or things that touch the bottom line, Li Li will generally agree and give them a face. After all, over the years, they have rarely taken the initiative to make requests, and they have always been silently dedicated without regrets, teaching and educating people, which can really be called hard work. For scholars like them in the true sense of the word, Li Li respects them in his heart, and as long as it is a reasonable request, he will definitely agree without hesitation.
However, he is also the dean of the Royal Academy, but there are also differences between relatives and relatives. Relatively speaking, Cai Yong has no scruples in front of Li Li, and he can ask any questions directly, but Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and Kong Rong, the three vice presidents, must be cautious in their words and deeds, and they will not speak lightly.
After explaining in detail the reasons for the rebuilding of the Royal Academy and related matters, Li Li could see that Kong Rong seemed to have something to say, but he had scruples and stopped talking. Suddenly, Li Li had a clear understanding and roughly guessed his thoughts, but he didn't want to break it, so he avoided talking about it, and then changed the topic and said: "After the new campus is completed, the old campus will be changed to Chongwen Hall." The Chongbunkan is divided into two parts, one part is used as a place for the children of the imperial family and the children of meritorious ministers, and the other part is used for storing classics and writing historical records. At that time, I will make my own arrangements for the education of the children of the royal family and the children of meritorious service; As soon as I have time, I will come to teach in person, so I will not bother the princess with the matter of teaching. The rest of the collection of classics and the compilation of the annals will be fully entrusted to the princes, and I hope that you will work tirelessly to compile the annals of my Jin Kingdom, in line with the purpose of seeking truth from facts and preferring lack to excess, we must leave a detailed historical book for future generations. I wonder if you have any objections to this? β
"This is a matter within the minister's equal duties, and it is incumbent on me to do so, please rest assured." Kong Rong replied. He is the eunuch in charge of writing the annals of history, and he is also the vice president of the Tai Academy in charge of teaching politics and law, and the Chongwen Pavilion is within his jurisdiction, so he should make a solemn statement to Li Li on behalf of the academy.
"That's very good." Li Li smiled and said, then put down the teacup, got up and said, "In this case, I won't disturb the princes??????
"Slowly!" Seeing that Li Li was leaving, Kong Rong immediately became anxious, and he couldn't care about the taboo anymore, so he hurriedly interrupted Li Li's words, walked in front of Li Li in three steps and two steps, and said urgently: "Weichen still has something to ask for, I don't know if His Majesty can agree?" β
Li Li stopped when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Wen Jugong doesn't need to be polite, but it doesn't hurt to speak, as long as it doesn't violate the etiquette system and is reasonable, I should agree." β
Kong Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said without thinking: "I am a new dynasty, Your Majesty is a great feudal minister, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all rewarded, why are the military generals of my Tai Academy rewarded, but none of the civil officials have been awarded?" This move made Weichen quite puzzling, I don't know the reason, and I ask His Majesty to make it clear. β
As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji's expressions changed greatly, and they all shook their heads at Kong Rong, suggesting that his words were a bit out of place and very inappropriate. However, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret it, so the three of them set their eyes on Li Li for the first time, carefully observed Li Li's expression, and once they found that something was wrong, they immediately came forward to intercede for Kong Rong.
At the same time, Li Xuan and Guo Jia, who were sitting in the hall and listening blindly but did not express their opinions, also changed their voices. Although Kong Rong said that he had something to ask for, he actually asked Li Li why he treated the students of Tai Academy differently, which was a blatant grievance for his students. To put it nicely, Kong Rong wants to come forward for the students to ask for an explanation; To put it bluntly, he is protecting his students and openly coming forward to ask for official positions for students. Since then, the problem has been severe. Kong Rong is not only the teacher and leader of the academy, but also a minister under Li Li, so openly come forward to fight for fame and fortune for his students, is this the way of a teacher, is it the way of a minister?
The most important thing is that the four deans in the hall do not know the inside story, and they don't know that there are hidden secrets among the vassals this time, including Li Li's comprehensive layout of the future development direction of the Jin Kingdom, but the time has not yet come, and some things are not suitable for public disclosure, and they are extremely obscure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are half-concealed. However, because they don't understand the situation, it doesn't mean that Li Xuan and Guo Jia don't know either. On the contrary, Li Xuan, Guo Jia and the other six ministers of military aircraft are all participants in this matter, if Li Li is the initiator, then their eight ministers of military aircraft are accomplices and are also responsible for the specific implementation.
"Wen Jugong's words are wrong." Sure enough, before Kong Rong's words fell, Li Xuan immediately got up and walked in front of Kong Rong, and said with a solemn expression: "This time the great feudal ministers are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and any reward is well-documented, not deliberately favoritism, favoritism. Most of the students of Tai Academy were sent to various counties as subordinate officials, and governing local counties was by no means an overnight achievement, and they would not make political achievements for two or three years, or three or five years, so it was expected that they did not receive a reward, and there was nothing wrong with it.
In contrast, as long as they fight bravely and are not afraid of life and death, they can make achievements and accumulate military merits, and it is a matter of course to receive a reward, and there is no such thing as favoritism. It is unwise to listen to the students' own words, to believe and listen to the students' own words, and to rashly complain for the students without understanding the inside situation. β
Li Xuangui is the prime minister, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and he is in charge of the official hat. Therefore, Kong Rong's words just now were tantamount to openly attacking him, and he naturally couldn't stay out of it, so he refuted it unceremoniously, using sharp words, not taking into account Kong Rong's Confucian status and the lofty status of the third duke, and directly accusing Kong Rong of coming forward to ask for an official position for a student, and it was difficult to get rid of the suspicion of protecting and shielding him, and he lost his identity.
