Li Junxian said: "Yes, Fang Jun said, no matter whose family the children are from, the academy's principle is to select the best, and no one can say anything..."
"hehe."
His Majesty Li Er grinned, showing an expression that was half a smile but not a smile. This "haha" made Li Junxian a little confused. He couldn't figure out whether it was relief and joy, or ridicule...
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
Once again, Li Junxian felt the urge to retreat bravely.
He admires His Majesty Li Er, is willing to be loyal to the king, and is even willing to give up his life for His Majesty, but this does not mean that he is willing to stay in the position of the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" and be wary.
The life he longs for is to gallop beyond the Great Wall and compete with iron horses on the battlefield.
Victory, the name will last forever and shine in this world!
Defeated, bloody battlefield and shrouded in horse leather!
That is the lifestyle of a man who enjoys grudges and grudges...
But he also knows that it is easy to sit in such a position, and it is also easy to get down, but if you want to escape unscathed, it is really difficult to climb to the sky...
The secrets of the royal family are all in his mind. Which emperor can be so big-hearted as to let you go?
His Majesty Li Er didn't notice Li Junxian's strange behavior and said to himself: "Didn't that guy always regard himself as the prince? He spared no effort to help the prince win over people's hearts and connections? This time he didn't even give the prince's face. After all,
Is it because the academy's status in his heart is too high and he will never allow anyone to interfere with it, or is it because he takes the initiative to distance himself from the prince and shows me..."
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er discovered a serious problem.
Regarding Li Yuanjing's matter, he had considered everything before and after, and now it was Fang Jun's turn to do the same...
There was a time when I was brave, wise, and decisive in killing. How could I be so thoughtful and hesitant?
Could it be...that I am getting old?
This thought arose in his heart, making His Majesty Li Er horrified.
The more noble a person is, the more they are afraid of death, especially the supreme emperor in the world. Just imagine, holding the sun and moon in his hand, the supreme power to rule the world is in his hand, but he has died before it expires... What a pity and sadness this is.
?
Therefore, many of the ancient emperors were obsessed with immortality. They sought immortality and sought immortality, which led to many unbelievable and ridiculous stories. It seems that no matter how wise, powerful, and decisive the immortal emperors were, they would also have to deal with this matter.
He stumbled hard several times, and his reputation was stained with flaws for the rest of his life.
He is not afraid of someone talking about life and death in front of him. Can a person's fate be cut off with just one sentence?
Simply ridiculous.
But no one, when facing life and death, still takes it calmly and without any fluctuations.
Thinking of his deteriorating physical condition and his declining energy, His Majesty Li Er felt panicked and had a gloomy look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Where is the monk who made alchemy outside Jin Biao Gate now?
Where?"
The last time he fell ill, all the ministers in the court blamed the monk, thinking that the elixir he refined was poisonous, which made him seriously ill.
But His Majesty Li Er himself doesn’t think so.
All the medicinal materials required for refining the elixir come from the royal family's inner treasury, so they are safe and sound. The refined elixir is completely useless. Could it be poisonous?
However, the public opinion was fierce, and the courtiers and clan were all opposed to him taking the elixir. Moreover, after taking it, he did not see any effect. His Majesty Li Er expelled the monk from Zhu that day, and the matter came to an end.
At this time, it is inevitable to think of that monk who lived for more than 200 years and rarely ate every day. For three meals, he used elixirs to clear his stomach. It seemed that the elixirs he refined and the spells he practiced could not make people happy.
It is possible to become an immortal or a saint, but it is still possible to prolong life.
Anyway, even if you don’t eat well, you won’t eat bad...
Li Junxian thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is talking about the Zhu Fan monk Na Luo's Suo Po Mei? After being expelled by your Majesty last time, this person has nowhere to go. The temples in the city don't know the origin, let alone the reason.
He was expelled due to a crime, and this person was aloof by nature and was not welcomed by others, so no one took him in. Now he lives in a thatched hut at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, outside Linyou Town, and lives a difficult life, but he has no complaints.
, he has to walk dozens of miles every day to draw spring water from Shuimo Mountain, use his medical skills to diagnose and treat patients, and exchange for food, which makes him look a bit like an eminent monk."
If you advance, you will step on the blue clouds; if you retreat, you will live in seclusion in the mountains and springs.
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, he is indeed an eminent monk...
"Take him to Jiucheng Palace and choose a secluded palace to place him. Go there in person and the news must not be leaked. Otherwise, you are the only one who can ask!"
"His Majesty……"
Li Junxian's heart tightened and he wanted to give advice.
The last time you took the elixir, it almost caused a disaster. The civil and military officials of the entire court came together to remonstrate, forcing His Majesty Li Er to expel the monks and give up the elixir. Now, only a few days have passed, and you have recovered from your scar and forgotten it.
It hurts?
The key is that you asked me to do this. Once the news leaks out in the future, won't I become a model of traitor and be infamy throughout the world?
His Majesty Li Er glared and scolded: "I have my own opinion, no need to elaborate! In addition, I will mobilize the elite of the 'Hundred Qisi'. In a few days, I will go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. You will accompany me to escort me."
Immediately, seeing Li Junxian hesitate to speak, he added: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. If any news leaks out, you are the only one I can ask!"
Li Junxian trembled with fright and said quickly: "I will obey the order!"
What else is there to say?
I am just a minion of His Majesty the Emperor, not one of those highly respected and upright Confucian scholars in the court. I just need to run the errands assigned by the Emperor...I don't dare to interfere even if I want to.
After Li Junxian retreated, His Majesty Li Er called Wang De, the chief chamberlain, in and ordered: "I will inform all the prime ministers and assistants later that after the court meeting tomorrow, I will go to Liangyi Hall to discuss the appointment of academy officials, scribes, and instructors.
candidate."
"Here!"
Wang De quickly agreed.
Everyone now knows that the academy is the core of His Majesty's policy. If nothing unexpected happens, in the future, the young men in both the military and political aspects of the empire will come from the academy. These people will build a powerful influence, enough to affect the national destiny of the empire, and cannot be ignored.
.
There cannot be any slack in the selection of instructors and students.
It is conceivable that tomorrow's Liangyi Palace will be full of quarrels, open and secret fights, and the big guys in the court will not give in for the selection of those instructors...
*****
Xu Jingzong has been very irritable recently.
He is a very utilitarian person. As one of the "Eighteen Bachelors of the Prince of Qin's Mansion" and a latent meritorious official of His Majesty's residence, he is now just a Huangmen servant, ranking even behind that toady Chu Suiliang. We followed him back then.
He is a brother-in-law, and he is just a nephew. He relies on His Majesty's favor all day long to be arrogant and show off his power...
Look at the robes of those years, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, not to mention, have successively become the chief ministers and assistants, His Majesty's humerus, left and right hands, the holy family Youlong, Jane in the emperor's heart. Kong Yingda, Yan Xiangshi, Yao Silian are all
With a rich family background, he achieved great success and became a great Confucian. Yu Zhining even became the prince's tutor, and one day became the emperor's tutor. A "teacher" would probably not be able to escape.
There are only a few people alive, and I am the worst one.
How embarrassing is this?
He waved his hand to drive all the maids away, simply opened the window, sat cross-legged on the floor mat, and drank by himself from the food and wine on the table, sighing after every glass he drank.
The root cause of all this was the smile he made at the funeral of Empress Changsun that year, which offended His Majesty Li Er, causing his status in His Majesty's heart to plummet and even disgust him.
Damn it, even if Ouyang Xun was ugly, why did he have to smile like that?
One misstep will lead to eternal hatred, time will not be with me...
I also thought that the imperial court was about to start recommending the instructors and scribes of "Zhenguan Academy", and I became even more depressed.
Who doesn’t want to enter the academy and step on this staircase to the sky?
Now, except for His Majesty who is determined to be the chief priest of "Zhenguan Academy" and Fang Junhui who is the actual person in power other than Your Majesty, the rest of the positions have not been determined. I think there must be some competition, and no one can do it at this time.
Will give up easily.
Xu Jingzong had coveted this job for a long time and gave away a lot of money. However, the feedback he received did not make him happy.
As long as you can become the manager of the academy, you will have the connections of most of the military and political officials in the entire empire in the future. Who can refuse such a temptation, and who is willing to give it up?
With another sigh, Xu Jingzong poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Father, would you like your daughter to give you some side dishes?"
A gentle and soft voice sounded in his ears. Xu Jingzong turned around and saw that it was his two daughters...
