Twenty-sixth lecture!
The eldest grandson glanced at Li Er resentfully and said, "You can see the cruelty of life from the habits of insects, and your perspective is really amazing." β
Li Er said with a smile: "Different, different, very different, what I just focused on is that the knowledge itself is not a question of whether he is cruel or not, zoology has actually been around for a long time, Zhuang Zhou can realize the ethereal spirit from the butterfly's cocoon, and he is confused, and he can't tell whether he has become a butterfly, or a butterfly has become himself, the ancestor of the Li family said that the teacher is natural, and nothing is the best, and the biology of the academy has the momentum of Taoist learning. β
The eldest grandson nodded admiringly and said to Li Er: "If you weren't the emperor, you would definitely be a generation of grandmasters if you went to study and study." β
"I never doubted that." With the words of the eldest grandson, Li Er ate the simple meal very sweetly, ate the rice on the plate, and ate the two pears and a few oranges in the small plate next to him, pushed open the plate and said with satisfaction: "The food in the academy is good, and I eat very comfortably." β
The eldest grandson helped Li Er clean up the dinner plate, and said to Li Er: "Your recent complexion is very bad, it's better to rest in the academy for a few days, ignore the things in the court first, you can't turn the sky over, let's concentrate on studying in the academy, don't think about anything else, it's not too late for you to worry about the trouble in the court when you return to the palace!" β
Li Er smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how long it takes a few days, just according to the queen's opinion, let's not think about troubles, delve into knowledge, I have to master this kind of knowledge no matter what." β
If the emperor wants to do academics, he is not doing his job, but it is still good to decorate the faΓ§ade with his own little bit of time, at least Li Er's academic attitude is very rigorous, as long as Yun Ye sees Li Er with reading glasses on his nose, standing on the ladder of the library from the huge bookshelf at this time, he wants to laugh, because he looks very much like an old pedant. Especially when the other gentlemen were also leaning on the ladder looking for books, the way a group of old men whispered talked made people laugh even more.
The best gentleman in Chang'an City didn't dare to make a mistake in the library of Yushan Academy, God knows if the bad old man hiding in a corner reading a book would be a prince, at least Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are almost frequent visitors here, so Li Er's life is very fulfilling.
"Your Majesty, this gold and stone is a university question. The main research objects are the bronzes and steles of the previous dynasties, especially the inscriptions and rubbings on them; In a broad sense, it also includes bamboo slips, oracle bones, jade, bricks and tiles, sealing mud, military talismans, and other items, Weichen has a soft spot for wine vessels, His Majesty XiΓ If you have time, Weichen invites you to comment on the wine vessels collected by Weichen, the total number is not less than three hundred and forty-four, there was originally a relatively rare rhino horn cup, which is a thing of spring and autumn, and participated in a wine banquet in Cheng's house. Unexpectedly disappeared, and the current Xungui has lost his original discipline. β
"I want to see this, Aiqing has searched all the treasure vaults in the inner mansion, just to find this thing? It's rare that you've collected so much, and I'd love to see it. β
Li Er was very curious about Du Ruhui's retirement life, put down the books in his hand and followed Du Ruhui to his office in the academy, and now there are many miscellaneous classes in the academy, among which Jin Shi is one of them. Mr. Jin Zhu, the organizer of the School of History, specially invited Du Ruhui to come over to preach his discovery on Jinshi Yi, and the students also gave the old man face. There were many people who came to listen to his lectures.
Li Er and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling saw all over Du Ruhui's collection and was full of praise, Du Ruhui specially gave a bronze statue with an inscription on it to the emperor as a gift.
The three of them asked the kitchen for a few side dishes in Fang Xuanling's room, and began to drink and taste the bronze wine glass that had just arrived. This is a ritual vessel, cleaned of patina. to see the inscription on it. Li Er is a great connoisseur in history, and when he sees the word Huangquan and the pattern on it, he knows the origin of this wine bottle. "If you don't go to Huangquan, you can't see each other! Zheng Zhuanggong's desperate words put himself in a position of injustice, and this wine bottle is probably cast to commemorate this historical fact, in order to peep at the leopard. The gold and stone are indeed extraordinary. β
"Your Majesty has said before, with copper as a mirror can be dressed, with people can know the gains and losses, now the mirror has passed away, the ministers are also gray-haired, just want to spend the rest of their lives, people are old, it is good to be a teacher, in the academy to teach some of the past experience, indeed the old is very relieved, His Majesty is a genius, why not compile the gains and losses of these years of governance, to educate future generations, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Fang Xuanling suddenly had a whim, and told the emperor about his idea.
"You said I could also go to give a lecture?"
"Why not? Thirty percent of these students will become officials of the Tang Dynasty in the future, thirty percent are destined to become elites in various industries, and the remaining thirty percent will become technical officials, as for the remaining one percent will be enriched to the academies around the country to become teachings, whether they become officials or officials, or even businessmen, teachings, their status can not be underestimated, if you teach here, there will be a surge of people, even if you can't learn the essence of your majesty's learning, you can also be taught from all aspects of morality, In this way, why is it wrong for His Majesty to be the first king to teach from ancient times to the present? β
Listening to Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's demagogy, Li Er's heart immediately set off a storm, it is true, these people in the academy still have to use it for themselves in the end, saying that there is no need for knowledge, there are countless Confucians in the academy, as long as you look at the small buildings of the academy are about to be built in the Qinling Mountains, you know that there are many talents here, but as the emperor, it is necessary for me to tell these students what kind of managers the empire needs, the old system, There have been earth-shaking changes during the Zhenguan years, and the empire is as strong as the scorching sun, so its managers need to have the corresponding character and talent.
Now that the empire is developing steadily, the moral requirements for officials must exceed the requirements for his talents, and now is not the time of the Three Kingdoms melee, and Cao Wei's method of meritocracy is not applicable to the present.
Li Er, who returned to the room, told his thoughts to the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson specially tidied up his appearance and bowed down, congratulating the emperor on setting a precedent for all generations, which can be described as a master of all ages.
Li Er was still a little embarrassed to tell Yun Ye and Li Tai about this idea, because it was a bit of a feeling of fame and fame, and it was the eldest grandson who conveyed the emperor's meaning to Yun Ye Li Tai and Mr. Yuan Zhang.
This is a great thing, students have the opportunity to meet the emperor of the empire face-to-face, as long as they are students, they will flock to it, Mr. Yuanzhang also agrees with the emperor very much, but, there is a problem, the emperor has not lectured, never, he can praise the officials below in the court, reprimand, whether it is thunder or rain and dew, it is the grace of the king, and the people below can only suffer, it is not the case when you lecture in the academy, you can only say your own reason, you can't be rough, there is no court staff here, There are no samurai who arrest people, and they will not prepare executioners for you, Mr. Yuanzhang is very worried that the emperor will not be able to teach well and leave a laughing stock, which is not good for the academy.
Li Er saw that Mr. Yuanzhang could still maintain his usual posture of a corporal of courtesy, and when Mr. Yuanzhang said goodbye and went out, Li Er immediately became the emperor who was high.
"It's just a lecture, it's nothing, but both of you have lectured, tell me what I should prepare?"
Li Tai said to the emperor anxiously: "Father, you must not underestimate a lesson, and you control the difficulty of the court is not much different, although the child does not know what you want to say, but you must have something to say, if you want to talk about character, then you must prepare handouts in this regard, but also know how many words you can say in an hour, but also speak vividly, of course, you don't need to care about this article, Erchen thinks, as long as you stick to an hour, it's okay." β
These words are the words of being beaten, and sure enough, as soon as Li Tai finished speaking, the back of the neck was slapped hard by Li Er.
"How to speak, your father doesn't know how to speak? I am the master of this empire, and everyone must bow their heads and listen, good or bad, whatever I say! β
Yun Ye had to admire what Li Er said was so fucking reasonable, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's fine." His Majesty said as he pleased, and the people below listened attentively, they were all people, no matter what you said, Weichen and others would definitely listen. β
Li Er smiled weirdly, laughed twice and entered the back room, probably to prepare his own speech. Li Tai was very worried, but Yun Ye was full of confidence in Li Er, he was originally an emperor with a very strong personality, and there would be no stage fright at all, so this lesson will definitely go down in history, and the wisdom of an emperor, especially Li Er's spark of wisdom, must be extremely bright.
The news that the emperor was going to give a lecture in person spread, and it was not only Yushan Academy, Guozijian, and Hongwen Hall that roared at Mr. Yuanzhang with red eyes, and they must leave enough seats for them at that time. Otherwise, Guozijian and Hongwenguan will not get along with Yushan Academy.
It is not only the students who want to enter the Yushan Academy to listen to the lectures, but also many bigwigs have also put forward requests to attend the lectures, and the request of the eldest grandson Wuji is not something that the Yushan Academy can refuse.
As for those businessmen, in order to give themselves a chance to show their faces in front of the emperor, the price of the seats in the front row has been speculated to the point of 100 gold, and even so, there is still no market.
Xu Jingzong felt that he couldn't even breathe, although he had already entered the ranks of the prime minister, but he didn't plan to untie the errand of the Yushan Academy in his life, looking at the high letters on the table, he just wanted to break through the window and run away, because Yun Ye pushed the errand of assigning seats to him. (To be continued......)
