"I read the statement you submitted..." Li Po put down his chopsticks and said, then waved his hand.
An eunuch immediately stepped forward, holding a document and preaching: "The warrior Xun, whose name is Xin, is from Wenshui in Bingzhou. He gave up business and joined the army in the tenth year of his great career, and joined the Yingyang Mansion to serve as a captain.
In the eleventh year of Daye, Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, became the governor of the state, comforted the ambassador of Hedong, and then entered the shogunate as military counselor. Because he was granted the throne, Gao Junya, etc., he was trusted by Li Yuan. Later, Li Yuan raised troops and went south, providing him with a lot of military resources.
Everyone, get the post of Kai Cao from the General's Mansion and join the army.
After entering Chang'an, Li Yuan was rewarded for his merits and was promoted to the Duke of Shouyang County and the official of Guanglu. Later, Li Yuan usurped the throne. Due to his merits, Li Yuan served successively as Minister of Rites, Governor of Lizhou, Minister of Industry, etc. He was also one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou.
Avoid the death penalty once.
After Li Yuan's death, he never returned home..."
Li Po waved his hand to retreat from the eunuch and said with a smile: "Who does this remind you of?"
Warrior Xun's face gradually turned pale. The thing he feared most seemed to be happening. He and Li Yuan were too deeply involved. From being an official to now, he had been promoted and used by Li Yuan. He could no longer be summed up by the phrase "Li Yuan's close minister".
It would be more appropriate to express it as Li Yuan personally.
What's even more ominous is that his background aroused the emperor's thoughts. Even if he didn't read too many books, he also knew that since ancient times, people who entered the court as businessmen and became officials could be distinguished.
...As far as he knew, there was only one person.
Sure enough, Feng Deyi over there stabbed him mercilessly, "Lü Buwei is the one who can live in a rare place."
Samurai Xun could no longer sit still. Now only one word came to his mind, surrendering himself into a trap. He really shouldn't appear in front of the emperor...
He stood up, took two steps and knelt down on the ground. He didn't even think about defending himself, and only said in a trembling voice: "I will be punished by death."
The emperor's voice still reached his ears unhurriedly, without much emotion or anger, "I don't want to settle old scores with you. I just see that you are talented, eager for fame, and like to take risks, so I warn you.
Just a moment.
As a lesson from the past, people should learn something from the lessons of the ancients. Get up, if I offend you... Yuanmou is a hero, haha, you are not the only one. If you offend, shouldn't others be frightened?"
It was such a bad start that the warrior Yu's heart almost stopped beating. He didn't know if others would be frightened, but he himself was almost frightened to death.

As Feng Deyi watched, he actually felt uncomfortable. The person he recommended reminded the emperor of Lu Buwei from the former Qin Dynasty. He really... didn't know what to say.
Thinking of the more than ten famous paintings at home, it made his heart even colder. Is the emperor hinting that I should be more careful when accepting bribes?
……………………
When the warrior Xun sat down again tremblingly, Li Po said again: "Your strategy of using learning to develop business and using business to assist education is a different approach. Tell me what you think."
At this time, the warrior Yu felt that the head on his neck was very heavy, and it might fall off if he was not careful. He was afraid that he could not help but feel dizzy.
If someone came to ask him to make a choice, he would not take any chances and just run back to Jinyang in a hurry.
At this time, he could only suppress the fear spreading in his heart, and mustered up the courage to answer: "Villain... Sir... I heard that the Supreme Being was setting up a school in the southern suburbs, so I went to have a look...
I felt that the son of a businessman, who had a wealthy family and was eager to become an official, thought that the academy would be a better path than joining the army or serving as a government official, so I made random remarks and hoped that the Supreme Being would forgive me..."
This was not a suggestion, it was simply asking for mercy. After listening to his statement, Feng Deyi wanted to cover his eyes and cursed in his heart. When he was frightened, his speech was so incoherent. The businessman really had no backbone.
Li Po was also surprised. He blinked and said to himself, "This must be the truth, right?" He hadn't heard such honest words for a long time, which was really strange.
In fact, the warrior Xun was also unlucky. When he relied on Li Yuan, Tang Gong was famous for his benevolence, recruiting talents, gathering strong men, and ambitiously looking at the overall situation of the world.
Therefore, the official career of the warrior Yu was very smooth and he did not experience many dangers.
Li Po and Li Yuan had huge differences in their behavior. People would be frightened when they came in front of him, and they were a bit petty, but they were generally tolerant in the end.
The warrior Tong came in with his head covered. He knew absolutely nothing about the emperor's temper, and he had no confidence himself, so there was such an embarrassing scene.
Moreover, when he was engaged in the lumber business and built his home in Dongdu, he was almost beheaded due to construction delays. He was so frightened that he stopped doing business and ran back to Jinyang to hide.
.
Of course, businessmen's methods are never to risk their lives, so what they fear most is swords and guns...
Li Po thought about it, but found this answer very interesting... The king's moodiness is very specific here. When you are scared and think things are going to be bad, maybe the king is happy in his heart.
When you are complacent and want to get rewards, maybe the king has murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
"Give me wine." Li Po said with a smile.
Let's calm down this guy's shock first, and if he comes to you more often in the future, he might be able to come up with a lot of fresh ideas... He would react like this when he saw Chang'an Academy. It's really your fault.
Feng Deyi could not think of this and almost turned Chang'an Academy into a park.
The status of merchants and craftsmen was much higher than that of ordinary people at this time, and they could barely touch the edge of the common people. Although making a living as a merchant had many disadvantages and lowered the grade of the academy, it lost the original intention, but it also
It can be regarded as an expedient measure.
Moreover, the academy is different from Guozi. It is such a big place, so it doesn’t hurt to invite more people in...
The samurai Xun drank one with gratitude, and finally felt a little more at ease. Being given wine, well, if it won't cause death due to poison, it means that his life is safe.
Then my brain returned to its original position and I became able to speak fluently.
"Encouraging people to learn and nurturing talents is nothing less than a career that lasts for thousands of years... The Supreme Master will not give up his wisdom to the previous sages. I am willing to donate a thousand gold coins to the academy to help it a little bit. If I get the Supreme Master's permission, it will be a great blessing for me."
Samurai Yun was still the same Samurai Yun who threw money out when he saw the opportunity. This was how he gained Li Yuan's trust back then.
If the emperor nodded happily, he would immediately climb up to him and find an opportunity to pimp the "lecherous" emperor.
When Li Yuan went on a night trip to Chang'an, he was the one who arranged it. Not only did he drink wine in a brothel, but he also chose a wide range of places to stay and people to receive him, which made Li Yuan extremely satisfied.
It's not like Li Po always looks for food by himself every time he goes out. He has never even seen a brothel in Chang'an.
After all the twists and turns, Feng Deyi looked at the shining golden God of Wealth, then looked at the emperor's face, and finally regretted that he should not have ended the relationship so early.
Although the emperor doesn't like businessmen, he really likes those interesting people...
