Chapter 764: Qujiang Academy (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
Uncle Li turned his anger into joy at this time, and said with a smile on his long beard under his chin: "Hmm, this is about the same, the third child of your family, you should teach him a lesson, by the way, you two come here, shouldn't it be as simple as saying hello to the old man, right?" ”
I glanced at Li Zhi and decided that Li Zhi would speak first. "Father, the son heard a new idea from the master, and felt that it was greatly beneficial to the country and the people, so I came to report to my father, and asked my father to consider one or two." Li Zhi said respectfully to Uncle Li.
"Oh?" Uncle Li raised his eyebrows, looked at me and said, "What is the wisdom of the virtuous son-in-law, the old man wants to hear it." I hurriedly took out the prepared notebook on the construction of the academy from my bosom and handed it over: "Since this period of time, my son-in-law has always felt that I have a lot of academic classics in China since ancient times, but many of them have been lost, and although the family of the gate valve has a lot of treasures, they have always been stingy with others, and those poor scholars, there is no way to seek knowledge, which makes it difficult for many people of insight in my Tang Dynasty to enrich their talents and learning, so the son-in-law asks Your Majesty to establish a academy for Xu Xiaoxing." ”
"Academy?" Uncle Li repeated the last two words I said, lowered his head, and began to look through the notebook I handed him, at first, Uncle Li's expression was very serious, but the more he looked back, the more his eyebrows fluttered, as if an old rural hooligan had accidentally discovered a classic yellow, well, the metaphor was not quite appropriate, but Uncle Li gave me this feeling.
"Academy! This policy is very good, hehehe, good! I agreed, but ......" Uncle Li blinked his eyes, and the last two words that spit out hurt me to raise my heart to my throat, and I looked at His Majesty the Tang Emperor in a daze, for fear that this old guy would find a reason to veto this matter.
"However, the old man can't let the virtuous son-in-law work too hard for you alone, so let's do it, when you founded the academy, if you encounter difficulties, even if you come to find me, or find a childish slave, in addition, the old man also has a collection of thousands of rare books, when the time comes, if the academy is completed, the old man will lend it to you, but you are only allowed to print and keep it, and it will be returned to the old man, how about it?" Uncle Li's words finally made me breathe a sigh of relief.
Towards His Majesty the Tang Emperor, he put on a five-body posture: "The son-in-law thanks the father-in-law for his success, the father-in-law is gracious, the son-in-law is grateful for the five years, in addition, the son-in-law has a reluctant request, please be sure to agree to the father-in-law." ”
Uncle Li drank a large and special ginkgo tea, pointed at me and smiled, "Good boy, I come here every time." That's it, you can tell me, if it's a good thing, it doesn't hurt for the old man to agree. ”
---------------------------------------------------"The son-in-law wants to build the academy on the bank of the Qujiang River, but at present, the academy has not yet been built, so the son-in-law specially asks His Majesty to give the academy a name." I smiled and said to Uncle Li. This is an opportunity to satisfy Uncle Li's love of showing himself, and I believe that the old guy will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Sure enough, Uncle Li hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Well, you are doing the right thing, it is not only unprecedented, but also the first academy in the history of my Tang Dynasty, this name will naturally be louder, wait for the old man to think about it......"
Uncle Li stood up and began to walk, this is his habitual behavior, whenever he encounters a problem, he will always do this, his body still looks so upright, his eyes and expression still look majestic and wise, every step is extremely calm.
"Since the virtuous son-in-law wants to build the academy on the bank of the Qujiang River, why don't you call the Qujiang Academy?" Uncle Li really couldn't think of anything good, so he could only name it after the region. "This is very good, and when I hear the name of the Tang Dynasty Wise Scholar, I will be able to know that the academy is in my Tang Yanjing." I even claim to be good.
So, Uncle Li also personally mentioned the four big characters of Qujiang Academy to my academy and solemnly handed them over to me. "Wangxian's son-in-law will continue to make more meritorious contributions to my Datang."
"This is natural, as long as Your Majesty has a life, the son-in-law will definitely take the lead and be the forerunner." I respectfully took the rice paper that Uncle Li handed me in my hand and replied, and Li Zhi, who was not on it, also laughed and was very happy.
Later, Uncle Li happily left me and Li Zhi to have lunch with him, and talked about the conflict between my father and that Uncle Xiao, Uncle Li rubbed his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Lao Aiqing is always like this, it gives the old man a headache, the old man who was still in the book yesterday, he actually wants to be a monk, but the old man is angry, and he almost tore up his recital book at that time, and he is still like a child." ”
"As the saying goes, the old and the young, the old man's spleen surname is sometimes like a child, this Xiao Lao's surname is just upright, if you want to come for a while, it would be good if your thoughts could be turned around." I could only smile bitterly and casually agree, and Li Zhi on the side said seriously: "Elder Xiao is only dedicated to official affairs, and has no selfish intentions, and I hope that my father will not agree to Elder Xiao's request." ”
Li Zhi's words really made Uncle Li very happy, and glanced at Li Zhi with satisfaction, Uncle Li bowed slightly: "Well, my family's immature slave has also grown up, hehehe, I am very comforting to my father, although Xiao Lao Aiqing has a bad spleen, but his longevity and merits are still there, after all, he is also your master, and he will naturally consider it for his father." ”
After a pleasant lunch, saying goodbye to Uncle Li, I walked into Qifeng Pavilion with Li Zhi, and Li Zhi said to me very proudly: "Brother Jun, how is it, Fang Cai Xiaozhi's performance is not bad!" ”
"Well, the performance is really good, I think Your Majesty will definitely let that Lord Xiao withdraw the invitation, and when the time comes, Lord Xiao will definitely continue to dutifully supervise His Royal Highness the Prince's words and deeds." I nodded solemnly, as soon as these words came out, Li Zhi suddenly looked bitter, but he smiled again: "It's okay, the old guy can't even follow me to sleep, what's more, Brother Jun, you are also back, I, a student, went to study with you, and I will definitely not interfere with Boss Xiao." ”
"You're amazing, take me out and be your shield." I shook my head helplessly, Li Zhi's head has too many magical ideas, and this often makes me bow down.
"So, thank you Master, hehehe." Li Zhi smiled proudly when he saw that I was deflated, but he did not forget what Uncle Li had just instructed. "Brother Jun, run the affairs of the academy, but if there is any trouble, Xiaozhi is definitely willing to be the forerunner of the teacher, even if you ask for money and people, the younger brother is willing to help,"
Since we have decided to do it, let's do it. I don't want to be diluted by others, so Li Zhi said this as a fake orangutan, and I immediately politely refused: "No need, although I am not rich as a teacher, I can still afford to build a college." Therefore, the direction of the money will not bother you. Seeing that I was serious, Li Zhi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You are not rich?" Come on, I said Brother Jun, at most you can talk in front of your little brother, and it will fall into the ears of outsiders, tsk, tsk, the consequences are unpredictable. ”
---------------------------------------------------, "Hmph, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, Xiaozhi, you shouldn't count the jokes of the teacher, right?" I raised my eyebrows at this prince, made this girl half angry, and proudly took the wooden box loaded with Uncle Li's handwritten book to say goodbye to Li Zhi, and went home directly.
"Wife, pay for the work!" When I returned home, I threw my cloak to Chan'er, who came forward, pinched the wooden box, sat on the low couch with a big horse and a golden knife, and greeted the beautiful wives who were playing mahjong at a table.
"What money? Junlang wants to buy something again, and the concubine is almost consistent in winning this time, or will it be given to you? Li Shuxiao touched a piece of mahjong, and turned back to me and smiled after changing the cards.
These words made me almost throw the Mobao that Uncle Li gave me directly to the ground, and I looked at these four female gamblers who seemed to have gambled on the Tao with tears and laughter. "What's the matter, my husband is looking for you to have something to do."
After hearing my words, the four wives and concubines withdrew from their positions and sat down beside me. Green Butterfly's eyes were sharp, and she first saw the wooden box in my hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Junlang, what are you doing, shouldn't you go and let Master Yan paint again?" ”
"Hehe, this is not Master Yan's painting, but this thing is definitely more valuable than Master Yan's painting, and it is a thousand words." I proudly opened the wooden box in my hand and slowly spread out the large rice paper on which Uncle Li wrote his name by hand.
The four mothers-in-law immediately expressed their joy together, and the palace maid sister folded her palms excitedly: "This is very good, Your Majesty can personally approve this matter, and also give a handwritten letter, if you think that if this matter is done, it will definitely be smooth all the way." ”
"I don't know how much money Junlang wants to spend to build this academy, on the bank of the Qujiang River, the land price here is not biased." Cheng Luanluan immediately guessed where I was going to build the academy from the four big characters of Qujiang Academy.
