Chapter 1945 Pei Ju, a typical example of grass on the wall
Pei Ju doesn't like this feeling of being completely controlled, because he is often the one who controls others, and he doesn't like being controlled by others.
But now Pei Ju feels at ease.
Since Li Xingchen can control himself, then he will believe in himself.
Pei Ju, who only has loyalty to the big man, isn't what he fears most now is mistrust? If Li Xingchen doesn't trust him, nothing he can say will be in vain. As the head of the Pei family, he may really be like a cloth artist.
There is no difference.
Pei Ju had the courage to stand here and face Li Xinchen, wasn't it because he was betting that Li Xinchen would trust him, at least conditionally trust him.
What the monarch and his ministers fear most is that there will eventually be a gap. Mutual suspicion may eventually lead to conflicts.
Pei Ju has seen too many things, so he was also cautiously wary of Li Xingchen before.
Now that His Majesty is willing to reuse and trust me, I cannot let down His Majesty's kindness.
Seeing Pei Ju happily retiring, Li Xingchen couldn't help but shake his head.
The position of the headmaster of Longmen Academy was left to Pei Ju. This was not a decision that Li Xingchen made just now, but had been discussed with Yang Su, Xu Ling and others a long time ago.
After all, the academies in the north still need someone from the north to take charge, so Xu Ling and other southern scholars can't say anything.
Almost all the teachers employed in several academies in the south are from the south. Northerners do not have an advantage in the culture and education of the Han Dynasty, so naturally they are more eager to have such an academy presided over by northerners. Of course, now within the Han academies, the north and the south
The contradiction between origins is not obvious, and the teacher will never treat you differently because of whether you are a southerner or a northerner. If nothing else, Li Yuan, the first place winner in the last Jinling Academy, is out and out.
Northerners.
However, for northerners, if the academies in the north cannot be controlled by themselves, then it will be difficult for northerners to enter the cultural and educational career. They will still feel unsure if their children are trained by others. Therefore, northerners
People really want to take over Longmen Academy.
You already have so many academies in the south. Although Longmen Academy has the status of Imperial College, we are not saying that all the gentlemen here are northerners. If you just want a northerner to serve as the mountain chief, it is always possible, right?
?
Considering the demands of the northerners, Xu Ling, Gu Yewang and others really couldn't say anything. As for this candidate, Yang Su simply recommended Pei Ju. Looking at the entire north, there is someone who is qualified to sit in this position. Pei Ju said
First, no one really dares to claim second place.
It is well known that this guy's character as an official is not very good, but he still has the ability to teach and educate people, and there are often a group of jealous people in the academy. There is such a person who is a little more tactful and understands all kinds of officialdom.
With well-behaved people in charge, Longmen Academy will not have conflicts with the court.
There are not a few conflicts between several academies and courts in the Han Dynasty due to talent training, money distribution, etc. However, Xu Ling and others are generally unwilling to cause trouble and try their best to suppress this matter and make it as easy as possible.
The academy cooperated with the work of the imperial court and solved the difficulties on its own. There was even an incident where the academy teacher led the students to cultivate vegetable fields. Of course, for the academy, on the one hand, it was to cry out for poverty, and on the other hand, it was also to train the students' practical abilities.
In the future, if you want to serve as a parent officer outside, you cannot even do the most basic tasks of persuading farmers and mulberry trees. How can a parent officer who does not distinguish between rice and rice be accepted and recognized by the people?
And if Longmen Academy replaces a northerner as the headmaster, will it break the current situation and lead to a head-on confrontation between the academy and the court over the division of interests?
Therefore, letting Pei Ju, a trouble-loving wallflower, sit in the position of the mountain chief can form a good buffer and maintain the current situation of mutual cooperation and understanding between the academy and the court, rather than confrontation and criticism.
This was also the only choice Li Xingchen could make that was acceptable and satisfactory to both the north and the south. So unless Pei Ju really did something that dissatisfied Li Xingchen, the position of mountain chief would definitely belong to him.
Li Xingchen was indeed helpless towards Pei Ju's excitement.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Pei certainly doesn't know what your Majesty is thinking." Yu Chizhen, who was next to her, also watched the whole process without saying a word. Sensing Li Xingchen's helplessness, she couldn't help but smile, "It is reasonable for Pei to lose his composure for a moment.
As a human being, I have heard that I have always been careful and cautious and don't like to talk or laugh. At this time, I should be happy just because I can be used by Your Majesty, and I should not be an unstable person. What's more, Your Majesty is a dragon and a phoenix among people.
If it is unavailable, His Majesty will not be able to tell, and he will just replace it when the time comes."
Pei Ju happily agreed, and Li Xinchen had nothing to do. What he was really worried about was whether Pei Ju would be unreliable because he was so happy.
The main reason is that Pei Ju is not very reliable in history. He did have great achievements in conquering the Western Regions and pacifying Lingnan, but the demise of the Sui Dynasty was also somewhat related to him. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was relatively authoritative, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was able to act unscrupulously.
It is also inseparable from the fact that his subordinates such as Pei Ju did not stop him and even let him go.
Perhaps under the circumstances at that time, Pei Ju had no choice in order to save his own life, but he could have chosen not to speak. Now that he had spoken, since he had been flattered, then the Sui Dynasty would have gone from prosperity to destruction, and Pei Ju would have
Don't let go of guilt.
So Li Xingchen himself was a little worried.
However, after hearing what Yu Chizhen said, Li Xingchen felt more at ease. In history, Pei Ju was not only one of the driving forces behind the demise of the Sui Dynasty, but also a hero of the Tang Dynasty from its unification to its prosperity. He even dared to jump out and challenge Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Advising. It can be seen from this that Pei Ju is indeed a complete loser. He is talented, but he will never let his talents become the reason for his death.
He said different words and did different things to different emperors. For a wise monarch, Pei Ju, who was economically savvy and dared to speak out and gave advice, was definitely a loyal and good minister, but for a fatuous or arbitrary monarch,
Pei Ju would only obey their wishes and push them into the abyss, but he could still escape from the chaos to find the next wise king who could use him.
Li Xingchen did not think that he was a foolish king, so he should be able to lead Pei Ju on the right path.
There are many talented people in the world, but this is actually the first time Li Xingchen has encountered a typical wallflower like Pei Ju.
After all, those who had rallied around him before were either ambitious young people or famous ministers with high personal accomplishments and virtues. There were not many slick men like Pei Ju in the Han Dynasty.
