Although what Wang De said was reasonable, His Majesty Li Er did not take it seriously.
What kind of words about lack of experience do he hate the most? Who is born with experience? I think he was a dandy who ruled Chang'an. He was always trouble-making and aggressive. Didn't he encourage the late emperor to rebel at the age of nineteen, and then he was granted the title of Duke of Dunhuang?
Leading the military governor, commanding the three armies on the right, raising troops to fight fiercely across the world, and then attacking Chang'an, reviving the Tang Dynasty and destroying the Sui Dynasty?
Ability depends on talent.
Some people seem to be born with knowledge, even if they have never been engaged in a certain field, they can still burst out with brilliant brilliance in an instant, no one can match them; some people are naturally dull, even if you put them in a certain position
If you sit there for a lifetime, you will still be in a mess.
However, this is just an idea on his mind. Whether it is feasible or not requires in-depth consideration and weighing of many aspects...
Changing the topic, His Majesty Li Er drank tea and said: "Spring brings growth and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter stores, this is the great scripture of heaven. Weddings, funerals, and having children are also the principles of human relations. Now the autumn harvest has begun, it won't be long.
Every day, all the grain is stored in the warehouse, and all the people in the world are living leisurely. The wedding season is just around the corner, and every house is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a certain person's heart is burning."
When Wang De heard this, he tentatively said: "Your Majesty is worried about His Highness Changle's marriage? But there is no need to rush. His Highness Changle has a skillful temperament, is smart on the outside, but also soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He is very opinionated and has experienced a failed marriage.
, I am afraid that she will be more picky about her future husband, and she must be pleasing to her own eyes. Otherwise, if His Majesty forces a marriage, I am afraid that His Highness Changle's heart will be broken."
His Majesty Li Er glared at him and said dissatisfied: "You old slave, you only want to please Chang Le, but you actually dare to refute me?"
Wang De understood His Majesty Li Er's temperament and knew that he was just feigning anger. He smiled shyly and said: "Look at what Your Majesty said, the old slave is a eunuch and has no children in his life. He doesn't have much contact with his nephews in his hometown.
Well, I have followed His Majesty for more than twenty years, and His Majesty's children have been watched by old slaves since childhood. Although I don't dare to say such stupid things as treating them as my own, I sincerely hope that they will be well.
His Highness Changle looks gentle, but in reality he is strong and will not let women down the line. It is better for Your Highness to let her go."
His Majesty Li Er snorted and muttered: "Leave her alone? If we really let her go, I'm afraid one day she will get involved with that stick and make me angry to death."
After a pause, he sighed again and said: "Actually, Changle is not bad. After all, we are living in harmony. It doesn't matter if we get married sooner or later. But Sizi passed the age of hairpin before his eyes, but
I have never been able to find the husband I wanted, and I am really anxious."
Since ancient times, a girl and a girl have to get married. Even if the girl is not suitable for marriage due to health reasons, she still has to find a family to settle down the marriage. After two years, she will gradually get better and get married immediately.
If the daughter of the emperor's family turns into an old maid, won't she become the laughingstock of the world?
Wang De looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose with his heart, and did not dare to say a word.
However, His Majesty Li Er did not agree with him. He took a sip of tea and asked: "You are an old slave who often works in the capital and knows all the noble families. Can you tell me if there is a suitable young man who can help me?"
Suitable for my daughter?"
Wang De was startled and said hurriedly: "This old slave is too stupid to speak nonsense."
Just kidding, does he dare to say such nonsense?
If you say it today, it will reach the ears of Princess Jinyang tomorrow. That little princess is not as gentle and virtuous as Princess Changle, and she will definitely find trouble for herself.
Just Princess Jin is fine. Although the little princess is a bit unruly, she is pure in nature. She may not be able to do anything to him, an old eunuch who "slanders", but what if Princess Jinyang files a complaint against Fang Jun...
Wang De shivered. He knew that Fang Jun doted on Princess Jinyang to no end, but she would do anything she wanted. She was even more spoiled than his own sister or daughter. If he knew it,
Princess Jinyang is unfit to get married and still talks nonsense in front of His Majesty Li Er. Fang Jun's stick can punch him even if he doesn't even say it...
His Majesty Li Er became more and more dissatisfied. He knocked on the coffee table with his fingers and said angrily: "You can just say what you say. Why should you be taboo in front of me?"
Wang De almost broke into sweat and said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of this old slave, Your Highness Jinyang is as beautiful as a reborn immortal. No man in this world can be worthy of her. Your Majesty insists on telling me,
The old slave is afraid that he can only talk nonsense, but he can't live with his own conscience... Your Majesty, please don't embarrass the old slave."
"Hey! You, this old slave, are getting better and better at flattering me."
His Majesty Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only shake his head and ignore Wang De. He drank tea slowly and squinted his eyes to ponder his thoughts.
Wang De saw that he no longer asked and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself: Your Majesty, what's going on today? Every question I asked made people tremble with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice...
*****
It's September, and autumn is getting stronger.
Entering from the mountain gate of the academy, walking along the road paved with bluestones up the mountain, you can see that the trees on both sides of the road have gradually withered and turned yellow. There is no wind today, but there are still dead leaves with broken veins falling off the branches and fluttering
It fell to the ground in a thick layer.
From time to time, you can see clear mountain springs flowing through the ravines on the roadside, and the gurgling sound can be clearly heard.
There is a pavilion with strange rocks scattered among the mountains and forests. Many students sit in it with wide robes and belts, holding books in their hands and making loud noises.
King Wei Li Tai was in front, Fang Jun was half a step behind, followed by several personal guards, all the way up the mountain road slowly.
The autumn air is crisp, the fallen leaves are withered, the scenery in the mountains and forests is elegant, the buildings are scattered here and there, and there are even the sounds of students reading, the atmosphere of the academy is particularly rich.
Several students who passed by bowed down and saluted respectfully, and then stepped aside. Li Tai stepped forward, smiled and nodded, turned around and said to Fang Jun: "It is really a good place to study. If it weren't for the fact that I am determined to work in the Tang Dynasty,
For education, I vowed to spread the county school to every county in the Tang Dynasty. I really want to choose a quiet courtyard in this academy to study behind closed doors and cultivate my sentiments."
This is really not hypocritical. His Majesty Li Er is a hero among all the disciples, but when it comes to his love of reading, it is none other than Wei King Li Tai. His literary attainments are also the highest.
Fang Jun then smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. After His Highness returns to the capital from Jiangnan, he might as well serve as a doctor of Chinese studies and teach in the academy. As a distinguished prince, teaching and educating people will surely be a good story thousands of years later."
Li Tai was quite moved, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is it really okay?"
Fang Jun naturally understood what he meant, shook his head and said: "The original intention of establishing this academy is because Confucianism is now the only one, and hundreds of schools of thought have declined, and the knowledge created by countless sages has gradually been lost. This is my
The sons and daughters of the Han family are in agony. Furthermore, it can be seen that His Highness blindly praises the classics and history, and neglects natural subjects such as arithmetic and inquiry. The role of arithmetic, inquiry and other subjects is obvious, including ship construction, tower construction, and artillery casting.
, which one is inseparable from arithmetic and investigation of things? Just because it is not the essence of Confucianism, it is abandoned and ignored. If things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to the irreversible decline of natural science, its complete decline, and it will definitely become a legacy of China!"
Li Tai nodded repeatedly, expressing deep agreement.
Before that, he had also scorned subjects such as arithmetic and studying things, and abandoned them as if they were old shoes. He believed that if a man manages his family and governs the country, he must learn the methods and find the answers from the works of the sages and philosophers in the Classics and History. As for those strange and obscene techniques
, it’s just a beginning of learning.
But when Fang Jun burned a pile of sand into crystal clear glass, mixing the messy things together became a gunpowder with infinite power to crack mountains and crack rocks. Even the fine steel that was hard to find in the past was now being burned day and night in the Fangjia Iron Works.
Produced... these shocked Li Tai deeply.
Not only him, but more contemporary scholars have also developed a strong interest in this, and have even realized that these "little paths of late learning" are profound enough to explore the origin of the universe.
This is a trend that cannot be suppressed even if Confucianism tries its best to suppress it. Even within Confucianism, there are gradually differences that question the dominance of one Confucian family rather than the contention of a hundred schools of thought.
The two were walking and chatting when Xu Jingzong's short and fat figure appeared in front of him. He ran up to him in three steps and two steps at a time, panting and saluting Li Tai: "Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
Li Tai nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Master Xu is only in charge of the academy's money and food supplies. When will you be needed to teach the academy students in person? Apart from anything else, the imperial system is to earn according to work, but this salary is
You have to get double copies."
Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Your Highness is wise!"
Fang Jun looked at his face and was speechless. He said angrily: "Find a place. I have a few words to tell you."
Xu Jingzong looked around, pointed to a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and said: "There you can have a close view of Kunming Pool and a distant view of Chang'an City. The autumn breeze brings refreshing breeze and the sky is clear and the clouds are clear. How about going and sitting there for a while?"
