What Wang Qing and Wang Lu wanted to hear were words like this.
Wang Qi has a special status and will definitely receive some instructions before leaving the capital. In addition, she is a noble person in the palace and has numerous female officials in the harem. With her well-informed information, she can already influence officials in other dynasties.
Being able to sit and talk with her is an opportunity that officials dream of. Maybe a single word can change the fate of officials.
Just like now, there is a lot of information in just one sentence.
Jinyang Academy was built at the request of Chen Xiaoyi. It cannot be said that the construction was very slow, because it had only been two months since the document from Chang'an that allowed Jinyang Academy to be built arrived in Jinyang. In addition, Chen Xiaoyi resigned and returned, and Shi Xue, the governor of the prefecture,
After the illness and numerous disturbances, it was not easy to decide on the location of Jinyang Academy, and it would certainly not be as quick as the construction of Chang'an Academy.
The emperor was more concerned about the construction of Jinyang Academy, which was not new to Wang Qing.
Although he had been away from home all year round, he was the Minister of War after all, and most of the news from the court could not be kept from him. Moreover, before leaving the capital, the emperor also told him this matter during his speech.
He is well aware of the role and importance of Jinyang Academy.
But it was different for Wang Lu. He knew that Jinyang Academy was modeled after Chang'an Academy, but he was still a little confused as to what it meant.
He thought that Chen Xiaoyi asked to build Jinyang Academy before he resigned and returned. Firstly, he wanted to please the emperor, and secondly, he wanted to add some glory to himself and leave a reputation in Jinyang.
Well, this is the difference between local ministers and court officials. Regardless of their official positions, the political sensitivity of local officials is incomparable to that of officials in the capital. Otherwise, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials.
For example, the reform of the imperial examination system has been discussed for a long time in Jinyang. Everyone in Jinyang's officialdom knows about it, but only a handful of people can link Jinyang Academy with the imperial examination selection.
Unlike Chang'an, the construction of Chang'an Academy has just begun, and courtiers have already heard a lot of rumors. Some people even bluntly said that the resumption of the imperial examination is just around the corner.
……………………
He couldn't help but go to the site where Jinyang Academy was selected to take a look. He thought he was trying to give Mr. Chen some face, but it turned out to be so important, so Wang Lu silently gave Jinyang Academy a priority in his heart.
As the governor of Taiyuan County, he has the right to speak on this matter.
However, Wang Qingxian said: "Recruit talented people from Jin... When Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, everyone was attached to him when he left. Later, when the supreme leader went south to Chang'an, he took away the best talents from Jin. Where are there many talented people available?
?
Prime Minister Yan is coming to Jinyang in the near future, but I still want to write to the Supreme Being to ask the Supreme Being to send more people."
When Wang Lu saw that he was complaining, he nodded and agreed: "What the manager said is true. Those of us who are left behind are guarding the family property for the Supreme Being. Wise people like Xue Bobao are really dead."
One of them is missing. If I can go to Chang'an, I must ask the Supreme Being whether he still remembers his hometown. How can there be a world where everyone is close and distant?"
This was not said very respectfully, but the other two people present laughed.
The emperor raised troops in Yunnei, but in the eyes of the world, the emperor's prosperity must be in Jinyang, so people in the two states regarded the emperor as one of their own.
There are countless stories of quarrels between people on both sides once they met. For example, officials from Daizhou who came to Jinyang to serve, like Wang Lu, always argued about this when drinking with the officials in Bingzhou.
Add a few sentences, otherwise everyone will feel like something is missing.
And what Wang Qing said is actually the truth. No matter Li Yuan or Li Po, they took many people with them when they went south to Chang'an. Those people were all very talented. It is not an exaggeration to say that the essence of Jin is the best.
Moreover, Jin is not a place where the literary style flourishes. So many talented people have left, but the younger generations have not caught up. This is the time when the youth is out of touch. It is not only a waste to try to attract talents from Jin to Jinyang Academy.
, and it will not be able to make Jinyang Academy famous in the world as quickly as Chang'an Academy.
Wang Qi also knew that the words of the two people in front of him were not meant for him, so he also smiled and said: "I don't have uncles. With such knowledge as my eldest brother, I can only say this.
But the Supreme Being attaches great importance to nurturing talents, so you two should be more attentive. As for whether to attract other people's phoenixes to live in the phoenix trees, or to draw your own clear springs to irrigate the fertile soil, it is a matter for the two of you to make a decision.
I am also a Jin native. I was born in Jinyang since I was a child, so I only want to do something beneficial to the people in my hometown. I believe that I should have a long-term perspective and never do anything quick and easy for the sake of wealth.
I hope you two can consider this little thought carefully.
Now that the world is at peace, the Supreme Being must do more things that do not differentiate between each other, so as to appease the minds of the officials and the people of the world. We will suffer losses here in the future, but we should not complain about it. After all, our family will suffer some losses sometimes."
These words were said very grandly, unlike those coming from the mouth of a woman. Wang Qing and Wang Lu looked at each other for a moment, and they generally had the same thought. The Lord of Nanyuan really lived up to his reputation.
When Wang Qi was young, he called himself the Master of Nanyuan and became famous in Jinyang City. Not many people remember him now, but as a member of the Wang family, everything about Wang Zhaoyi is basic common sense.
Also because of his temperament, Wang Qi was very interested in preparing to build Jinyang Academy.
She had longed for Chang'an Academy, but due to her status, she couldn't go there to visit. She was mainly afraid of causing trouble. However, Li Chun and Wang Zhen had visited there several times with Astonian Xiang and Wang Qi.
Very envious.
But those few were too dancing, and Wang Qi would not hang out with them. Otherwise, he would get punched or kicked a few times, which Wang Qi couldn't stand.
……………………
The other two people have been officials for a long time and have already developed the ability to be sharp and clear-sighted. After a brief exchange of words, they realized that Wang Qi was very concerned about this. After thinking about Wang Zhaoyi's resume, the two of them spent a lot of time on this matter.
.
It happened that Wang Lu didn't know much about the academy, but Wang Qing had visited Chang'an Academy several times to inspect it and was very familiar with it.
So he compared Guozi and Chang'an Academy, and finally concluded that there was generally no big difference between the two now, but he couldn't tell for sure in the future.
The main difference between the two is that Guozi has always been the highest academic institution in each dynasty, and it is also a forbidden area for nobles. Most of the people who study there are seniors. After the big nobles, those with slightly worse family backgrounds can't even think about it.
There is even a precedent for the royal family to be admitted to the Imperial College.
Emperor Wen Yang Jian was also admitted to the Imperial Academy when he was young, as was Li Yuan. This shows the status of the Imperial Academy.
Chang'an Academy is different. It recruits some boys. Although there are some high-ranking people among them, most of them are children of common people, similar to the situation when Emperor Wen Yang Jian founded the school.
The meaning is very clear. Why did Emperor Wen run the school back then? Is there any need to say more?
Wang Qing said a few words and then did not get involved in this. He mainly followed Wang Qi's interest in recruiting professors from the academy, the subjects of the academy, and also talked about the talents in Jin today.
As the general manager of Bingzhou, he was now qualified to criticize people. He and Wang Lu talked about the handsome people in Jin Dynasty one by one. Wang Qi listened with relish and did not feel bored at all.
Then the topic turned to Yan Xiangshi and others who were about to come to Jinyang.
Yan Xiangshi's ancestral home is Shandong. Today, when Shandong's talents are declining, the Yan brothers can be regarded as representatives of Shandong's aristocratic families.
His grandfather was the minister of Huangmen in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the great scholar Yan Zitui. All three of their brothers had literary names.
His elder brother, Yan Shigu, was a regular attendant of Sanqi and the prince's master in ancient times. He often accompanied the emperor and was quite trustworthy.
His younger brother Yan Qinli is now Zuo Lang and is revising the history of the Sui Dynasty.
In comparison, Yan Xiangshi was a bit miserable. He was too close to the King of Qin Li Shimin, so he was implicated to a certain extent and could only teach students in Chang'an Academy to cultivate their moral character.
Now he came to Jinyang as the leader to assist Wang Qing in the construction of Jinyang Academy. The purpose of his visit was self-evident. He probably saw that he could not be used in the capital, so he found another way and came to Jinyang Academy to serve as the academy's wine worshipper.
Speaking of Chang'an Academy, Wang Qing also sighed with emotion. Chang'an Academy was built less than two years ago. Not only has it gained quite a reputation, it is also filled with talented people.
Many people who have no ambitions gather together to get in. The so-called lack of ambitions are actually related to Li Yuan and his son. They are not in high positions, but they are aides and know the secrets.
There are also people like this in Jinyang, such as Chu Liang, Chu Suiliang and his son.
When dynasties changed, they were the ones who needed to worry the most. Chu Liang and his son simply left Beijing and ran away. Those who could not leave took refuge in Chang'an Academy after it was built, dormant in order to return to office.
The establishment of academies in various places gave them a rare opportunity.
……………………
After talking a lot and getting off topic, Wang Qi even recited a poem written by the emperor. Naturally, the other two people praised him greatly and flattered him loudly, which somewhat improved the emperor's reputation.
In fact, for these people in the officialdom, it doesn't matter whether the poems written by the emperor are good or not. Even if a yellow dog has white skin and a white dog has swollen skin, they will still enjoy it, but they have to put some effort into flattering him.
It's much easier now. The emperor's poems are indeed good, so it's much easier to flatter him. Wang Qing also pulled out the emperor's poem about his private visit to Chang'an Academy and praised it to cater to him.
In fact, any official who has made a difference will not think that it is a good thing that the emperor is talented in poetry. The emperor's responsibilities are clearly there. The government should be clear and clear, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, expand the territory, and invite foreign countries to come to the dynasty.
Imperial career.
If you make the world boil, the officials and the people complain, and foreign enemies invade every year, no matter how good your poetry is, what use will it be? Aren't you going to end up with your body and country destroyed and thousands of people despising you?
Therefore, this can only be the icing on the cake. The court officials and senior officials knew that even Li Po himself actually composed the music. Otherwise, he would not have copied a few songs and spread them to everyone over the years.
