"Oh, in fact, my little nephew has an idea, that is, I want to build a academy on the bank of the Qujiang River in my Chang'an, print and revise all my books since the written records of China, and hide them in the academy for people to borrow and study for free. It can also allow wise people to interpret the confusion in the book, so that the poor morale of the world will not worry about having no books to read and no place to speak. The little nephew is entangled in official business, and it is difficult to find time to deal with this matter, and the little brother Xianyun is serious about his duties, so the little nephew has a reluctant request, and I hope that the Taoist chief can grant the little nephew's request. ”

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows: "Academy...... Good, the virtuous nephew is very good, if it can really be achieved, you can publish the ancient and modern scriptures, in order to identify the great canon of the state, and can also question the doubts of the historical books. Great, what a great idea! Yuan Tiangang couldn't sit still with excitement, and stood up and walked around the room, muttering about various benefits. But I was stunned, this old guy's brain is really not an ordinary good man, just such a little effort, you can think that there are so many good things in the academy, and it is really not an ordinary person.

"But ......" Yuan Tiangang turned around and said to me: "Although this matter is a very good policy, it is better to seek His Majesty's consent before it can be implemented conveniently, what does the virtuous nephew think?" ”

I nodded: "The little nephew came here to discuss with the Taoist chief, and now that the Taoist chief has a good idea, the little nephew should follow it." "Xianyun on the side didn't think of my intention, in addition to looking at his sister, he also had to hand over such a heavy responsibility to him, from his master's expression, Xianyun can definitely guess, this is definitely a great thing.

His gaze became unusually bright. As if I wanted to give him the task now. At this time, Liushuang Fang walked into the house with the cooked tea, and when he saw the strange appearance of the three of us, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, come on, drink tea first, what you said, Poor Dao is also very interested, and if you get Your Majesty's permission, Poor Dao is also willing to donate the classics in his collection for the scholars to read and study." Yuan Tiangang happily straightened out his beard.

I discussed with Yuan Daochang for an afternoon, and then rushed back to the house, at this time, my father had already gone down to the court, just entered the house, I stepped forward to take off the coat for the old man, patted off the snow foam and said with a smile: "Father came back very early today." ”

"Well, there's nothing wrong today, so let's rush back early, Erlang, although you just came back from the expedition and have a ten-year vacation, you must not slack off, and it is better to get familiar with official business earlier." The old man nodded kindly, sat down on the couch, took off his gloves, stretched out his hand and rubbed his hands in front of the iron stove.

--------------------------------------------------- "My father taught me that in fact, these children have not been idle, and they are hesitating for a big event. "After handing over the old man's coat to the family next to me, I sat down opposite the old man and said." Oh? What's the big deal? The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at me.

I told the old man about the idea of opening the academy and the ones I discussed with Yuan Daochang today, and the old man's reaction was almost no different from Yuan Tiangang's, and he applauded first, and then asked me in detail about the purpose and thoughts of opening the academy, and finally, the old man said with relief: "Erlang is worthy of being the unicorn of my family, why didn't he say it earlier." Hehe, the matter of the academy, my father will definitely support you, but ......" The old man's eyes narrowed, flashed a demonic light, and picked the corner of his eye: "This matter is slight, or as Yuan Daochang said, it is better for you to go to Your Majesty." ”

"Why, father, wouldn't it be better for you to go? The child was worried that he would mess up this matter, so he came to wait at home for his father to come and discuss. "I am a little curious, the establishment of the academy is an important step for me, not only to earn a reputation through the establishment of the academy, but also to promote the doctrine of this prince to a broader market through the development and prosperity of the academy, so that people can come into contact with a wider variety of knowledge and cultural concepts.

The old man smiled faintly: "Since this period of time, it has been a little difficult to be a father, so for the time being, I can only be cautious in my words and deeds, but you are different, Your Majesty has always been very fond of your son-in-law, you have recently made great contributions, and your Majesty has praised you in the court, the academy is a great good thing for the country and the people, and besides, it can also make you go to the next level." ”

Seeing that my father was very resolute, I had no choice but to agree to my father's suggestion, but when I asked, my father just didn't say anything difficult about him, but judging from his expression, this difficult matter seemed to have little impact on him and our family, so I had to give up the idea of asking.

Second, after Li Zhi and other princes finished the class, I pulled Li Zhi to the side, and similarly, tempted him with the matter of the academy, sure enough, this young and vigorous prince suddenly became my assaulter to break through Uncle Li's fortress, no way, I still need Li Zhi's assistance in this matter, if I don't tell him, it is easy to cause him to misunderstand, tell him, but it can make my future actions easier, after all, he is the prince, many things, as long as he can squeak, he can easily get rid of it.

Li Zhi pulled me towards Qifeng Pavilion, where Uncle Li often stayed, and on the way, I asked Li Zhi. "Xiaozhi, have you heard any rumors during this time?"

"Rumors? What rumors? Li Zhi was more gossip than me, and suddenly stopped, very interested. I glanced at this kid: "I want to know if I can still ask you, well, I want to ask you, here in the court, did my old man have a conflict with a certain minister." ”

Li Zhi heard what I said and patted his thigh: "If you didn't say it earlier, I would have inquired about this matter earlier, junior brother, I had already inquired clearly, and I originally wanted to tell you when I went to your house to visit the seventeenth sister and nephew in two days, but since you asked now, junior brother, I naturally know everything, and I have nothing to say." Hehe, Brother Jun, don't change your face, little brother, I'll talk to you, this matter, you have to start from before, you must know this person, this old guy's favorite thing to do is to offend people, it's not pleasing to anyone, and your father still has ......" Li Zhicai said at the beginning, I suddenly thought of a headache and funny character.

"Are you talking about Song Guogong, the crown prince, Xiao Yuxiao?" I hesitated to report this famous man who was comparable to the stones in the pit. Li Zhi gave me a thumbs up: "Brother Jun is talented, I guess it, it's this old guy, as long as he has time, he will follow my ass around, this can't work, that can't be, from time to time I also say that my etiquette is not in accordance with the rules, and my actions are not in line with the identity of the prince, all in all, the old guy doesn't like anything." Li Zhi's expression looked a little indignant, well, what does the prince Taibao do, the Taishi teaches the prince Wen, the Taifu teaches the prince Wu, and the Taibao protects his safety. How old is Old Man Xiao? The old man in his seventies has to walk leisurely, let alone protect the prince's safety, so the old man Xiao just got an honorary position, of course, the prince Taibao also has a function, which is to supervise the prince's words and deeds.

--------------------------------------------------- and the old man Xiao is not a simple person, he has been a cow with Taizu Li Yuan, and dares to stare and spit on the stars with the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, Xiao Yu is definitely a real cow man, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, which is the most particular about his background, he can be described as a golden branch and golden leaf, his grandfather is Xiao Cha, Emperor Xuan of the Later Liang, and Xiao Miao, who competed for land with the Tang Dynasty, also belongs to his sons and nephews. Emperor Yang of Sui, Empress Xiao, was his own sister. He is also the son-in-law of the Queen Dugu family.

However, he has always been very loyal to Uncle Li, back then, the princes fought openly and secretly, Li Yuan favored the eldest son Li Jiancheng, and was suspicious of the second son Li Shimin and wanted to get rid of him. And it was this old man Xiao who resolutely supported Li Shimin's succession regardless of personal gains and losses. Then Uncle Li admired Xiao Yu's loyalty and courage very much, and once gave him a poem, which is still in circulation, that is: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the honest minister." The brave man knows righteousness, and the wise man must be benevolent. ”

However, although this old man Xiao is upright and selfless, he is suspicious, too jealous, looks down on people, looks at everyone and feels unpleasant, and everyone feels that the other party has an enmity with him. Especially looking down on those from low backgrounds, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and even those from famous families like my father, he can't look down on them, he always thinks that Uncle Li should only favor ministers like him.

That's not all, the most famous thing is this old guy's big mouth, aggressive energy, I'm afraid that even the cockfighting specially trained in the palace will be willing to bow down, even Uncle Cheng mentioned this old man Xiao, it was also a headache, at least Uncle Cheng would never take the initiative to provoke this gunpowder level cockfighting master.

As long as this old man Xiao is not happy with others, he never discriminates between occasions and identities, and above the court, I don't know how many people he has argued with, and he does not give the emperor any face, so that Uncle Li has been provoked by the old guy many times, and he has been abolished at home several times in a row, but he has pity for his talent and loyalty, and he was soon reinstated.
