Changsun glanced at Li Er resentfully and said, "You can see the cruelty of life from the habits of insects. Your perspective is really amazing."
Li Er chuckled and said: "Different, different, big difference. What I just focused on is that knowledge itself is not a question of whether it is cruel or not. Zoology actually has a long history. Zhuang Zhou could realize the ethereal spirit from a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, and then fell into
I am confused and can’t tell whether I have turned into a butterfly or the butterfly has turned into myself. The ancestors of the Li family also said that learning from nature is the best, and inaction is the best. No matter how I look at the biology in the academy, it has the energy of Taoist knowledge."
The eldest grandson nodded in admiration and said to Li Er: "If you were not an emperor, you would definitely be a great master if you devoted yourself to studying knowledge."
"I have never doubted this." With his eldest grandson's words to accompany the rice, Li Er ate the simple meal very sweetly. After finishing the rice on the plate, he also ate two pear segments and a few slices of oranges on the small plate next to him.
After finishing, he pushed the plate away and said with satisfaction: "The food in the academy is good, I feel very comfortable eating it."
The eldest grandson helped Li Er clear away the dinner plates and said to Li Er: "You have been looking very bad recently. Why don't you just rest in the academy for a few days? Ignore the things in the court for now. If you can't change the world, let's go to the academy."
Concentrate on your studies and don’t think about anything else. It won’t be too late for you to worry about the troubles in the court when you return to the palace!”
Li Er said with a smile: "It doesn't matter a few days. According to the Queen's opinion, let's not think about troubles and delve into knowledge. I must master the knowledge of Myriapods no matter what."
If the emperor wants to study, he is not doing his job properly, but it is good to use his piecemeal time to dress up the appearance. At least Li Er's academic attitude is very rigorous. As long as Yun Ye sees Li Er standing in the library with reading glasses on his nose,
I wanted to laugh when I was looking for books from the huge bookshelf on the ladder of the library, because he looked very much like an old scholar, especially when other gentlemen were also leaning on the ladder to look for books, and a group of old men were talking quietly.
The look makes people laugh even more.
Even the most awesome dandy in Chang'an City wouldn't dare to make trouble in the library of Yushan Academy. God knows if the bad old man hiding in a corner reading is a prince. At least Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are almost regular visitors here.
So Li Er lived a very fulfilling life.
"Your Majesty, this study of epigraphy and stone is a major subject. The main research objects are the bronzes and steles of the previous dynasties, especially the inscriptions and rubbings on them; in a broad sense, it also includes bamboo slips, oracle bones, jades, bricks and tiles, and sealing mud.
, military talismans, and other items, Weichen Dudu has a special liking for wine vessels. If your majesty is free, Weichen would like you to comment on the wine vessels collected by Weichen. There are no less than three hundred and forty four kinds in total. Originally, there was one more
This relatively rare rhinoceros horn cup is a gift from the Spring and Autumn Period. It disappeared after attending a banquet at the Cheng family. Now the honorable noble has lost his original integrity."
"I want to see this. Aiqing has searched through all the treasure houses in the inner palace just to find this thing? It's rare that you have collected so much. I really want to see it."
Li Er was very curious about Du Ruhui's retirement life. He put down the book in his hand and followed Du Ruhui to his office in the academy. Now there are many miscellaneous courses in the academy, among which epigraphy is one of them. Mr. Jin Zhu, the host of the School of History, specially
Du Ruhui was invited to come and preach about his discoveries on the Jinshi Road. The students also gave the old man a lot of respect, and many people came to listen to his lectures.
Li Er, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling looked through Du Ruhui's collection and were full of praise. Du Ruhui specially gave a bronze statue with an inscription to the emperor as a gift.
The three of them went to Fang Xuanling's house and asked the kitchen for some side dishes, and then began to drink and taste the bronze wine glass they had just received. This is a ritual vessel, and the inscriptions on it can only be seen after cleaning the patina. Li Er
He is a great expert in history. When you see the word "underworld" and the pattern on it, you will know the origin of this wine bottle. "We must not meet each other until we reach the underworld! Zheng Zhuanggong's heartless words put him in an unjust situation. This wine bottle is probably for
It was cast to commemorate this historical fact, so as to have a glimpse of the leopard, the gold and stone together are truly extraordinary."
"Your Majesty has said before that you can use copper as a mirror to correct your clothes, and you can use people as a mirror to know your gains and losses. Now that the human mirror has passed away, the ministers are also gray-haired and just want to survive the rest of their lives. When people are old, they can be teachers to others.
It is indeed a great comfort to teach some past experiences in the academy. Your Majesty is so talented, why not compile the gains and losses of these years of governance into a book and use it to educate future generations?"
Fang Xuanling suddenly had a whim and told the emperor about his idea.
"You said I can also give lectures?"
"Why not? Thirty percent of these students will become officials in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Thirty percent are destined to become elites in various industries. The remaining 30% will become technical officials. As for the remaining 10%, they will be enriched into academies in various places to become officials.
Whether they become officials, officials, or even merchants, or edicts, their status cannot be underestimated. Your Majesty has learned from ancient times to the present. If you hold a class here, there will be a huge number of people, even if you can't learn.
You can learn the essence of His Majesty's knowledge and learn from all aspects of morality and ethics. In this way, Your Majesty should be the first king to teach in class from ancient times. What's wrong with that?"
After listening to Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's instigation, Li Er immediately stirred up a storm in his heart. It is indeed true. In the end, these people in the academy still have to be used for themselves. There is no need to talk about learning. There are already countless great scholars in the academy.
, just look at the small buildings in the academy that are almost built in the Qinling Mountains, and you will know that there are so many talents here, but as the emperor, it is necessary for him to tell these students personally what kind of managers the empire needs. The old system,
Earth-shaking changes had taken place during the Zhenguan period. The empire was as strong as the scorching sun, so its managers needed to have corresponding character and talent.
Now that the empire is developing steadily, the moral requirements for officials must exceed the requirements for their talents. This is not the period of the Three Kingdoms' melee, and Cao Wei's meritocratic method does not apply now.
After returning to the room, Li Er told his eldest grandson his thoughts. The eldest grandson specially arranged his appearance and bowed down, congratulating the emperor on setting a precedent for all generations and being a role model for all generations.
Li Er was still a little embarrassed to tell Yun Ye and Li Tai this idea, because doing so felt a bit like trying to gain fame. It was the eldest grandson who conveyed the emperor's intention to Yun Ye, Li Tai, and Mr. Yuan Zhang.
This is a great thing. Students have the opportunity to meet the emperor of the empire face to face. As long as they are students, they will flock to it. Mr. Yuan Zhang also very much agrees with the emperor doing this. However, there is a problem. The emperor has never lectured and never
, he can praise or reprimand the officials below him in the court, whether it is thunder or rain and dew, it is the king's favor, and the people below can only suffer it. This is not the case when you lecture in the academy, you can only
Speak your own truth and do not use violence. There is no royal staff here, there are no warriors to catch people, and there will be no executioners prepared for you. Mr. Yuan Zhang is very worried that the emperor will not teach well and leave a laughing stock. This is not good for the academy.
Li Er saw that Mr. Yuan Zhang could still maintain his usual polite and virtuous attitude. When Mr. Yuan Zhang said goodbye and went out, Li Er immediately became the aloof emperor.
"It's just a lecture, it doesn't count as much. However, you two have given lectures. Tell me what I should prepare."
Li Tai anxiously said to the emperor: "Father, you must not underestimate a lesson. It is not much different from the difficulty of controlling the court. Although my child does not know what you are going to say, you must say something meaningful. If
If you want to talk about character, you need to prepare handouts in this area, you also need to know how much you can say in an hour, and you need to speak vividly. Of course, you don’t need to worry about this. I think, as long as you
Just stick to it for an hour and you'll be fine."
These words were meant to be beaten, and as expected, as soon as Li Tai finished speaking, Li Er slapped him hard on the back of his neck.
"How do you speak? Don't your father know how to speak? I am the master of this empire, and I follow my words. Everyone must lower their heads and listen to whatever I say, no matter good or bad!"
Yun Ye couldn't help but admire what Li Er said was so damn reasonable. He quickly stepped forward and said, "That's fine. Your Majesty can say whatever you want, and the people below will listen attentively. They are all citizens. No matter what you say,
The ministers and others will definitely listen attentively."
Li Er smiled strangely, chuckled twice and entered the back room, probably to prepare his speech. Li Tai was very worried, but Yun Ye had a lot of confidence in Li Er. He was a very charming person.
There is no such thing as stage fright for a strong emperor, so this lesson will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. The wisdom of an emperor, especially the spark of wisdom of Li Er, must be extremely bright.
The news that the emperor was going to give lectures in person spread like wildfire, and not only the Yushan Academy, the Imperial College, and the Hongwen Hall's supervisors roared at Mr. Yuanzhang with red eyes, they must leave enough seats for them. Otherwise, the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall
I will never have any contact with Yushan Academy.
It is not only students who want to attend classes at Yushan Academy, there are also many bigwigs who have also made requests to attend classes. Changsun Wuji’s request is not something that Yushan Academy can refuse.
As for those merchants, in order to give themselves a chance to show their faces in front of the emperor, the price of the front row seats has been raised to hundreds of gold. Even so, there is still a price but no market.
Xu Jingzong felt that he couldn't even breathe. Although he had entered the ranks of prime ministers, he had no intention of getting rid of the errand of the judge of Yushan Academy in his life. Looking at the letters high on the desk, he just
He wanted to smash through the window and run away, because Yun Ye gave him the job of assigning seats. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
