Seeing Mr. Mirror's violent reaction at this moment, Li Chen smiled.
For people like Mr. Mirror, power and wealth are all nothing to him. If he wants it, he can get it at any time, but it is precisely because of this that he doesn't care about these things at all.
In this world, the only two things that can fascinate people are fame and fortune. Fame should come before profit.
After satisfying material needs, everyone will pursue spiritual needs, and this spiritual need, in the feudal era, was a name, a name that will last forever.
Therefore, Mr. Jingzhi did not dare to drag his clear name into the quagmire by Li Chen.
"Three years."
Li Chen suddenly said in an arrogant manner.
"Mr. Jingzhi is already old. No matter how harsh I treat him, I will not let Mr. Jingzhi die of old age and exhaustion in his post. Therefore, I will only borrow Mr. Jingzhi's time for three years."
"In the past three years, Mr. Jingzhi must fully cooperate with all political initiatives of this palace as the Grand Bachelor of Dongge."
"I promise that as long as Mr. Mirror cooperates, I will never deliberately suppress the literati in the world."
"To put it bluntly, I don't even expect Mr. Jingzhi to do anything. You and I both know that what I need is Mr. Jingzhi's spiritual status in the minds of the world's literati. With such a status, I can exert my best efforts.
If you use your hands and feet, it will be too loose."
"Similarly, I also need Mr. Mirror to suppress the cabinet elders. The power of the imperial court is far more complicated than what outsiders see and think. Mr. Mirror is one of the needles that this palace uses to determine the world."
Li Chen's eyes condensed, and he looked at Mr. Jingzhi and continued: "In three years, whether Mr. Jingzhi retires and returns to his hometown or whatever, I will not stop him, and I will also implement the previous promise of the imperial court to open a school.
, but this requires the approval of the cabinet, and the cabinet's opinion is now completely decided by Zhao Xuanji alone. Whether Mr. Jingzhi can persuade the cabinet is your own ability, sir. I will not participate or force it."
"But if sir insists on having his own way, then I will leave immediately."
Li Chen said indifferently: "But what I just said will definitely be implemented to the end. Since it cannot be used by me, then it will be destroyed. Anyway, most of the students nowadays take Zhao Xuanji as their example and Mr. Xuanji as their spiritual leader.
"
"Sir, if you don't stand up to help me resist Zhao Xuanji, then Qin Shihuang could burn books once a thousand years ago to embarrass Confucians, and I can burn books a second time today and embarrass Confucians a second time!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Mr. Jingzhi's beard trembling and being speechless, Li Chen suddenly bowed his hands and bowed, saying: "Sir, if you agree, this is not because of force, but for the sake of the world's scholars."
A way to survive, and with such achievements, I will erect statues of him all over the country in the future, worship him alive, and regard him as the national teacher!"
Intimidation, inducement, all were used, and finally a big step and a round cake were presented.
Li Chen didn't believe that Mr. Jingzhi was still unmoved.
Sure enough, after saying these words, the expression on Mr. Mirror's face immediately became wonderful.
Statues were erected across the country, and he was also regarded as a national teacher...
This kind of temptation is beyond the scope that Mr. Mirror can refuse categorically.
Li Chen stopped talking, while Mr. Mirror looked hesitant.
When Su Jinpa saw this, she was alert and immediately understood that the time had come to play her role.
