It rained lightly in the capital this morning, and a coolness began to fill the air, but when the civil and military officials came to Donghua Gate and saw the white-haired but old and strong Taishi Lu Xiangrui standing at the door, they felt even more cold.

I don't know when Lu Xiangrui has become the vane of officials, he has only come to the early court a handful of times, but as long as he comes to the early court, then today's court meeting will definitely not be ordinary.

"Old thing, what are you going to make a fuss about today?"

Others didn't dare to step forward, but Su Wang was not among them, he walked to Lu Xiangrui's side with Yugui in his arms, and said helplessly.

"Didn't I tell you, it's time to finish some things, otherwise it won't be too late when I'm terminally ill. ”

Lu Xiangrui's eyes stared straight at Donghua Gate, and he didn't divert his gaze because of Su Wang.

"But didn't you just push that Lu Lingxuan to the position of the imperial envoy, now is not the time, you can't slow down?"

This time, Lu Xiangrui lowered his eyes and shook his head.

If it drags on forever, not to mention whether my old bones can last until that time, if they can, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced. ”

"You ......"

"Lao Su doesn't need to say more, the path I chose was to become a lonely minister, only in this way can I fully gain the trust of the emperor and complete those things that should have been done decades ago!"

"But... Alas..."

Originally, Su Wang wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, the Donghua Gate was opened, and Lu Xiangrui stepped across the Donghua Gate without waiting for Su Wang to speak, and Su Wang, who fell behind him, could only sigh.

......

"It's rare to see the Taishi come to the early court, I don't know what the Taishi wants to say this time?"

This time Lu Xiangrui suddenly went to court, even the emperor didn't know what he was going to do, because before that, he didn't get angry with the emperor. So for a while, even Chu Zheng couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what the old minister wants to say is not in a hurry for the time being, the old minister wants to tell the emperor a story first!"

"Interesting, I haven't heard a story for a long time, I don't know what you're going to say, old lady, tell me quickly!"

Lu Xiangrui sorted out his thoughts in his mind slightly, and then opened his mouth.

"The emperor should know that the imperial examination system implemented by my Dachu today is inherited from the previous dynasty. ”

"Master, what does this you say have to do with the story you want to tell?"

Lu Xiangrui smiled lightly.

"This relationship is big, it is said that there was a scholar in the previous dynasty, when he was three years old, he picked up a book at the urging of the elders in the family, read for more than 20 years, not to mention that the world's knowledge is in the bottom of his heart, but he has also seen a lot of scenery in and out of the book, when he was twenty-two years old, he finally made up his mind to carry the bookcase and prepare to enter Beijing to catch the exam. Prepare to make a name for yourself. ”

"Learn literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family. Taishi, there is nothing wrong with this young man's ideals, I don't know what you want to express, Taishi?"

"Please also ask the emperor to be calm and not be impatient, and Rong Chen will come one by one slowly. ”

Lu Xiangrui swallowed a mouthful of saliva before continuing to speak.

"After this scholar felt the capital, he realized that you have no fame without silver. The champions, the top eyes, the tanhua and every subsequent ranking are clearly marked with labels. ”

Of course, the young man was very angry at this phenomenon, and he thought that if he could become an official, he would definitely change the way of the world if he became a big official. The boy's failed ending was expected, there was no way, he was disheartened and wanted to return to his hometown of Liaozhou, but before he returned home, he encountered an insurrectionary army, the boy thought about it and joined the rebels with a heart, thinking that since he couldn't change this disgusting bullshit world, then give him a change of day. ”

Later, the boy did change the sky with the army, but he failed to replace the world that made him annoyed, and the scholar still couldn't raise his head. ”

Hearing this, Chu Zheng still didn't know what Lu Xiangrui was thinking, so he looked at him and shook his head with a smile.

"Master, just say whatever you want, why bother turning around and scolding me for being irresponsible?"

"The old minister didn't dare. ”

Lu Xiangrui hurriedly stood up from the chair and saluted Chu Zheng respectfully, even he didn't dare to sit on the Diaoyutai at this time.

"Of course I know you don't dare! But if the old lady has anything to say, just say it boldly, so you don't have to use your own experience as an example. ”

"Your Majesty, now in my Great Chu, there will be one scholar in every 10,000 people, so this has led to the scarcity of scholars in the world, as well as the imperial examination, and now my Great Chu's imperial examination has a trend of forward development!

The more Lu Xiangrui spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and then he didn't care about the feelings of the hundred officials at all, and he didn't care about the eyes of others when they looked at him.

Lu Xiangrui suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve, put his hands up, and wanted to hand it to Chu Zheng!

"Your Majesty, according to what the old minister sees, why not build an academy in each of the eight states of the world, and then order someone to supervise it, so that those children from poor families can have a chance to change their own destiny, and it can also give me more seeds of study. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is reconsidering!"

Lu Xiangrui had just finished speaking, and before he could speak in the court, Lu Lingxuan stood up.

"Your Majesty, now that our Great Chu is only the second rule, it is the time for the people to rest and recuperate, if the construction of the academy at this time is large, I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising!"

After Lu Lingxuan stood up, Shang Shuling Cheng Yijie also stood up, but not only did he not agree with Lu Xiangrui's proposal, but opposed it.

Wu Cicada, who was standing beside Chu Zheng, walked down and went to Lu Xiangrui's hand, turned around and gave it to Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng took the fold and looked at it seriously, so the court was quiet for a while!

"Academy!?"

After a while, Chu Zheng finally finished reading the contents of the fold and then closed the fold.

"Taishi's proposal is good! Not to mention the use of materials and money, we Dachu don't have so many teaching gentlemen now. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has thought about it, the previous dynasty had nearly 100 so-called farming and reading families in various places, and for many years, the imperial court ignored them, and until today there is still no one from these families who have entered the court as officials, but in the final analysis, reading is always right, and the influence of the previous dynasty on them should also dissipate today. Now the construction of the academy just has an opportunity to activate them, and it can be regarded as a chance for them to atone for their sins. ”

After listening to Lu Xiangrui's words, Chu Zheng began to pinch his chin and think, but Cheng Yijie obviously would not easily agree to this matter, as for the generals who stood on the other side, this matter had nothing to do with them, and it was regarded as watching a play.

"Your Majesty, even if the Taishi is far-sighted and can implement everything he says smoothly, but the academy is a big matter, and the imperial court has to do it well, why not wait for the imperial examination to be completed before discussing, and let the courtiers go back and think about countermeasures, even if they really want to open the academy, they can come up with a perfect strategy. ”

"That makes sense, Master, you see..."

Chu Zheng's words were interrupted by Lu Xiangrui before he could finish speaking.

"Your Majesty, the sooner you make up your mind, you can implement the relevant arrangements as soon as possible, many policies that are beneficial to the country are drowned out by a procrastination, and the old minister feels that the matter of the academy is beneficial to me and harmless, and I can make up my mind today. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the words of the prince..."

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the old minister say a word. ”

Cheng Yijie wanted to continue to refute, but was interrupted by Su Wang, who had been a stuffy gourd.

"Su Aiqing said come and listen!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister can hear that the two adults feel that the academy should be opened, it is nothing more than a matter of time earlier and later, in the final analysis, there is still no specific experience in opening the academy, according to the old minister's humble opinion, why not open a academy in the capital first to observe the effect? If the benefit is not small, then it will be promoted to the world, and if there is any omission, it can be recovered in time!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Su Aiqing's compromise method is good, two Aiqing, just follow Su Xiang's proposal, what objections do you have?"

"The old minister has no objection!"

Cheng Yijie just wants to delay the time to run the academy, although it has not been completely carried out according to his wishes now, it may be very good to have such a harvest, he knows the truth of being greedy and chewing too much, and it is better to collect it safely when he sees it.

"Old... The old minister has no objection!"

Lu Xiangrui's heart was still a little uncomfortable, but Chu Zheng's words obviously put this matter on the ground, if he continued to raise the bar, it would be no longer for the emperor.

"Okay, in that case, where is Zhao Yunqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War!"

A fat man with a dark face who looked like a ball rolled out of the crowd, and he looked really sorry for his elegant name.

"The old minister is here. ”

"I will hand over the construction of the academy to the Ministry of Industry, this is the first academy opened by my dynasty, and after three months, you must give me a satisfactory answer. ”

"Yes, I obey. ”

"Alright, let's stop here today, retreat!"

Now Chu Zheng loves and fears Lu Xiangrui, the prince, both hoping that he can come to the court to open up the situation, but also afraid that he will pull out something that is difficult to clean up.

"Retreat!"

Accompanied by the hoarse voice of the cicada, the hundred officials began to slowly withdraw from the Jinluan Palace, and Lu Xiangrui could only walk down the hall with a stomach full of unwillingness.

Cheng Yijie and their trio came together unsurprisingly, behind them was Lu Xiangrui, who had been staring at their backs, and further behind, Su Wang, who was looking at the four people in front.

After Cheng Yijie and the others disappeared from sight, Su Wang stepped forward and patted Lu Xiangrui on the shoulder.

"It's a good thing that you want to open a door for the world's scholars, but it's a bit too hasty, Da Chu's imperial examination must be changed, but it is destined not to be too fast, and the interests of too many people are involved. ”

"Open a door for the world's scholars?Lao Su, you look down on me more and more, if that's the case, do you still need me Lu Xiangrui to go to great lengths in person?"

The corners of Lu Xiangrui's mouth had an unprecedentedly evil smile, which made Su Wang a little frightened.

"And what exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Lu Xiangrui stepped out of the Jinluan Hall in a few steps, looking at the huge square in front of him who was already walking on the square, and finally, he stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to hug the whole world.

"I want the great Chu up and down, between the universe, the sound of Lang Lang books is endless! I want all over the country, academies to open, and the seeds of reading all over the world!"
