Winter comes and spring comes, everything recovers.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the Western Jin Dynasty was established, and the Xijing Chang'an is in order.

Six departments and 24 divisions have been established one after another, and various matters are gradually on the right track, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In February of Yangchun, looking at the mountains and rivers in the northern country, the mountains and rivers are green, the spring is full of spring, and it is a thriving scene.

More than 20 troops who participated in the enthronement ceremony left Chang'an one after another, but there were still more than [-] soldiers and horses defending the capital, stationed in the suburbs of Chang'an.

In order: the flying bear heavy cavalry under Huanfei's tent stationed in the southern suburbs, the Longxiang camp under Ma Chao's tent stationed in the northern suburbs, the Huben camp under Dianwei's tent stationed in the western suburbs, and the sinking camp under Gaoshun's tent stationed in the eastern suburbs.The fourth battalion of soldiers and horses was stationed outside the city, and those stationed in the city were still the Imperial Army of the Golden Guards, but at this time the Imperial Army had expanded from the previous 5 cavalry to [-] horses.

In addition, there are [-] city gate guards in Chang'an City. Li Zheng, Li Li's family general, serves as the Jinwu, and is under the direct jurisdiction of Jia Xu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

At noon, Li Li came to the Royal Academy and inspected the three academies including Taiyuan Hospital, Military Academy and Taiyuan Academy. accompany.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in mid-October last year, Chang'an Tai Academy has been renamed the Royal Academy, with Li Li personally serving as the dean, but not involved in daily management.It's just a name.Even so, Lao Taishan Cai Yong was quite dissatisfied.So he used this as an excuse to ask Li Li to increase the school's running funds.Expand the courtyard, claiming that only in this way can it be worthy of the title of the Royal Academy.

Cai Yong originally intended to complain and vent his dissatisfaction, but unexpectedly, Li Li agreed and immediately put it into action. He planned a new campus on the east bank of the Weishui River and officially started construction half a month ago.Cai Yong rushed to the new campus three times to check on the spot, and found that the scale of the newly built campus was five times larger than that of the existing Taiyuan Academy. After completion, it could accommodate more than [-] students to study and live.

See it here.Cai Yong was dubious at first, and didn't believe it. He thought that Li Li was deliberately perfunctory and drew a big cake to satisfy his hunger. In fact, it was just a show, and he would never spend such a huge expenditure on the construction of the college.In fact, the reason why Cai Yong was dissatisfied with Li Li was not because the school had too little funding for running the school, but because he had been loyal to the Han Dynasty for most of his life.Unexpectedly, the Han Dynasty died after all, and was replaced by his son-in-law Li Li, who stepped on the foundation of the Han Dynasty and established the Jin Kingdom.Because of this, Cai Yong felt quite disappointed in his heart, and he still couldn't pass this hurdle.So he asked Li Li to vent his dissatisfaction, deliberately found fault, and the lion opened his mouth.Frequently asking for tens of millions of school-running funds, the euphemistic name is: "The college needs to expand its enrollment. It needs to improve the living conditions of the teachers and improve the living conditions of the students. And so on."There are many reasons, but the bottom line is one sentence: the old man feels uncomfortable, and Li Li can't even think about being safe.

However, Cai Yong never expected that Li Li would do what he said, and now the construction of the new campus has started.This time, it was Cai Yong's turn to be uneasy.He knows his son-in-law too well, he knows that everything this guy does has a purpose, the goal is extremely clear, and he will never do anything that is not beneficial.Therefore, when Li Li suddenly expanded the campus with great fanfare, Cai Yong immediately lost his composure, and secretly speculated that Li Li must have ulterior motives, otherwise, how could he be so forthright? Isn't this his way of doing things?

After thinking up to this point, Cai Yong couldn't sit still any longer, and ran to the palace every three days. When he saw Li Li, he asked, "What is Wen Chang's intention for this move?" Therefore, even though Li Li is now the emperor, in front of Cai Yong, Li Li is still the son-in-law who knocked on the widow's door in the middle of the night, always saying "Wenchang".

Li Li has long been used to this, and instead of being angry, he feels very kind.Therefore, no one else can enter his inner mansion, even Li Xin's elder brother Li Xuan, Ma Yunluo's father Ma Teng and elder brother Ma Chao are not allowed to enter, except for Cai Yong.No matter when the old man came, no one stopped him. Even in the middle of the night when Li Li was having sex, he had to get out to see him, otherwise it was hard to guarantee that the old man would not break into the bedroom and give him a "catch the rape in bed" .Therefore, in Li Li's eyes, old man Cai is very willful, and the older he gets, the more willful he becomes, and he is developing in the direction of an old child.Regarding this, Li Li really didn't have the slightest temper, so he could only listen and coax him, lest Lao Taishan would have something bad or bad in his anger, and then he would regret it.

I really can't stand Cai Yong's nagging all day long, no, just after the Qingming Festival and after offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, Li Li brought the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to inspect the academy, so as to reassure Cai Yong and prevent him from being like a thief. Stare at yourself.After all, it is not a bad thing to expand the college. The century-old plan is education first. For Li Li, who was born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, how can he not understand such a simple truth?

After the inspection was over and he personally experienced the food in the student cafeteria, Li Li came to the "office" of the dean of the High Command of Taiyuan University.

The house is huge, with a full two hundred square meters, but the stacks of bamboo slips take up two-thirds of the entire room, and the room is filled with the special smell of calligraphy and books.This surprised Li Li, who has been devoted to reviewing the memorials all year round. The fragrance of books here is much stronger than that of his imperial study room. There are many scholars who are indifferent to fame and wealth, and devote themselves to teaching. How many scholars in their 70s still love learning? Looking at the past and present, how many people are there? Compared with them, I am too utilitarian after all, so I am ashamed of myself!"

This room originally belonged to Li Li, because he was the dean of the Royal Academy. Cai Yong had already started to move the house two months ago. Li Li stopped him immediately after hearing the news, claiming that he was just an honorary dean and would not occupy the academy’s space. Any resources, in fact, the dean of the Royal Academy is Cai Yong.To put it bluntly, Cai Yong reluctantly continued to work here. For this reason, Li Li also took advantage of three 500-year-old ginseng and five catties of high-quality imperial tea offered by Koguryo envoys in Liaodong.Facing such a wayward old man.What can I do?

Monarchs and ministers are seated.Li Li and Cai Yong sat side by side, accompanied by five people from left to right: Li Xuan, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, Kong Rong and Guo Jia.Li Zhi still stood behind Li Li like a pillar, motionless.

After a cup of tea.Cai Yong, who had endured for a whole morning, finally couldn't hold back, put down the teacup lightly, and asked softly: "What exactly is Wen Chang intending to do?" The endless question made Li Xuan, Kong Rong and others in the hall listen. Dazed, he didn't understand what Cai Yong was referring to, and why Li Li provoked the stubborn old man Cai again.

Only Li Li knew the meaning of Cai Yong's words. He knew very well that the old man had a temper of asking questions to the bottom of the casserole. If he didn't find out the reason for the construction of the Weishui campus, the old man would never let it go.Therefore, Li Li's inspection of the Taiyuan Academy today was not a temporary idea.It was done on purpose, and the purpose was to speak clearly in front of the four deans of the college.

Speaking of which, it has been 12 years since Taiyuan Academy was first established in the name of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and has continued to this day.For the past 12 years, Li Li has used various names to recruit famous scholars from various states and counties to come to the college to teach. Every year, thousands of children are sent to the college, and more than [-]% of them are war fighters. Descendants of warriors who died on the battlefield.The remaining [-]% of the children are the sons of local tycoons and merchants who have paid extremely expensive tuition fees to study. This income is the main source of funding for the college.

What Li Li really needs to pay out of his own pocket is the salaries of these teachers, the food and salaries of thousands of soldiers guarding the college, and the daily expenses of those people who are under the name of the college but never actually show up.These people who never showed up were the princes and their families of the towns who were wiped out by Li Li.Among them were Sun Quan, the younger brother of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, Liu Bei, who had both legs disabled, and those stubborn veterans of the former court. There were more than 30 households and more than [-] people, all of whom were imprisoned in the courtyard behind the college.There are soldiers guarding it all year round, and all the items needed for daily life are purchased by special personnel.Sufficient supply.

There are no more than five people in the entire academy who know about this matter, and the insiders are limited to the four deans and vice deans who are sitting in the room at the moment.However, even among their four insiders.None of them have the authority to visit these imprisoned princes and their families. If they want to enter the last row of courtyards, they must have a handbook issued by Li Li. .So far, more than [-] students have been killed because they sneaked into the backyard because of curiosity. For this reason, Cai Yong and other four deans have jointly issued a petition, asking Li Li to move all the hundreds of people living in the backyard to other places. Resettlement, must not kill their students in vain again.This is also an important reason why Li Li decided to rebuild the Royal Academy outside the city.

However, the Tai Academy has been in operation for more than ten years, but few people know what is Li Li's original intention and what he intends to do when he spared no expense in manpower and material resources to open the academy.

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he stared at Li Li with burning eyes, but Li Li sipped tea leisurely and leisurely. He didn't put down the cup of tea until the cup of tea was bottomed out, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law has repeatedly asked the reason for the expansion. I have explained it many times. There are three reasons for the re-selection of the campus. First, Chang'an is an imperial capital with mixed fish and dragons, and the environment and atmosphere are not good. Increasingly, as of the end of last year, the city had a permanent population of [-] households. After two months, the city has increased by [-] households. There is a shortage of housing, and every inch of land is expensive. Third, when the Jin Dynasty was first established, the new dynasty should There is a new look, and the Tai Academy has been renamed the Royal Academy. Since it is the Royal Academy, it must not be too shabby, and it must not damage the image and reputation of the Royal. Therefore, it is imperative to move the Academy to the outside of the city and re-establish the school. So answer, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Chapter 222 The Fire of Prairie Fire 2/3

Cai Yong looked contemplative, looked at Li Li with suspicion, but stopped asking.Obviously, what Li Li said was the truth. There are indeed more and more people in the city now, and the land of fireworks and willow lanes is also more and more prosperous. As a result, many students are not in the mood to study, and there are not a few students who are addicted to wine and sex.

Cai Yong remained silent, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and Kong Rong naturally did not dare to ask more questions, they kept their mouths shut, silence is golden.

As Li Li ascended the throne and became emperor, the change of status and status was like an insurmountable gap between the monarch and his ministers.Let Hua Tuo and Kong Rong, the great contemporary Confucians, dare not speak easily when facing Li Li, fearing that too much talk will lead to misfortune coming out of their mouths.

The huge disparity in status has widened the distance between people, making the friends who had talked about everything before suddenly become strange, and can never go back to the past, and can't relive the scene of the night talk.

Prior to this, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji were frequent visitors to the General's Mansion, and it was common for them to visit the house every three days, eating and drinking, and it was not uncommon for them to eat and drink.However, as the calls for Li Li's enthronement became louder and louder, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji rarely showed up at the General's Mansion. Unless Li Li ordered them to be summoned, they would not easily step into the palace, even if Passing in front of the palace gate would also take a detour, for fear of bumping into the family members of the inner palace or being bumped into by Li Li.It's not that there is a conflict between them and Li Li and his family, but that they are old and mature.He is well versed in the way of life, and worried that once he gets involved with the royal family.Sooner or later, if you cause trouble to your upper body, your own life will be small.It is a big deal to implicate the whole family, old and young, so it is undoubtedly the best policy to protect oneself wisely.Who visits the emperor's house when he has nothing to do, because he thinks his life is too long, and he is tired of living?

Since ancient times, the Taoist companion is like a tiger. This sentence is by no means nonsense, but a tried and tested truth in the world.

From ancient times to the present, the emperor is ruthless, the place where the members of the royal family live is the place of right and wrong, and whoever gets involved will be unlucky.perhaps.For those who are obsessed with fame and wealth, their minds are always thinking about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, so as to win the favor of the king, so that they can leap into the dragon's gate and become prosperous.But for Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, Kong Rong and the others, they are now extremely high-ranking ministers, with status, status and fame.They were content with that, and had nothing else to desire.

As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong.Now Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and the others no longer had the extravagant hope that they would talk to Li Li like they did before, and become friends for many years. They only hoped that they could teach safely.Pass on what you have learned in your life, so that you will have no regrets in your life.As for other things, it has nothing to do with them.He is neither enthusiastic nor involved, and devotes all his attention to the education of the college.

If it wasn't for the three colleges they were in this time.They will never intervene, let alone ask about this matter.But concerning their teaching grounds and students.They can't stay out of it, and must figure out why the emperor suddenly ordered the reconstruction of the campus and why the Royal Academy was moved outside the city.In addition, they still have a very important matter to report to Li Li, to be precise, it should be pleading.

Among the officials who were rewarded not long ago, among the tens of thousands of students who graduated from the Tai Academy, most of the students from the Military Academy were promoted and rewarded, and almost none of the students who entered politics were promoted.For this reason, these students who came from Kong Rong, Cai Yong and other great Confucianists had great opinions, and they asked their teachers to make decisions for themselves and come forward to ask for an explanation.

As for who can give them an explanation, this is self-evident. Besides the emperor Li Li, why bother Cai Yong and Kong Rong, who are among the top three contemporary scholars, to come forward in person?

In other words, at present, only Cai Yong, Hua Tuo, Kong Rong and other highly respected national treasures dare to directly ask Li Li, and they can say whatever they want in front of Li Li; What will happen to them, in principle, as long as it does not involve military affairs or touch the bottom line, Li Li will generally agree and give them a face.After all, they have seldom asked for anything for many years, and they have always dedicated themselves without complaint or regret, teaching and educating people, which can truly be called hard work.Li Li respected them from the bottom of his heart for scholars like them in the true sense of the word. As long as it was a reasonable request, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

However, he is also the dean of the Royal Academy, but there is also a difference between closeness and closeness.Relatively speaking, Cai Yong has no scruples in front of Li Li, he can ask any questions directly, but Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, and Kong Rong, the three vice presidents, have to be cautious in their words and deeds, they will not speak easily, and ask for help When speaking, you also need to organize your language carefully, and then speak after thinking about it, and don't speak rashly.

After explaining in detail the reasons for rebuilding the Royal Academy and related matters, Li Li could see that Kong Rong seemed to have something to say, but he was hesitant to speak.Immediately, Li Li understood what he was thinking, and roughly guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't point it out face to face, and avoided talking about it, and then changed the subject: "After the new campus is completed, the old campus will be changed into Chongwen Hall. Chongwen Hall is divided into two Part of it is a place for cultivating the children of the royal family and meritorious ministers, and the other part is used for storing classics and writing history. At that time, I will make my own arrangements for the education of the children of the royal family and meritorious ministers; once I have time, I will personally go to Come to teach, so I don’t bother you about teaching. The rest of the collection of classics and the compilation of historical records are fully entrusted to you. I hope that you will spare no effort to compile the historical records of our Jin Dynasty. Later generations left behind a detailed historical book. I don’t know if you have any objections to this?”

"This is a matter of the minister's duty, and it is my duty to do so. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Kong Rong replied in response.He is the Tai Shijian who is in charge of writing the history books, and also the vice-president in charge of teaching politics and law at the Taiyuan Academy. The Chongwen Hall is under his jurisdiction, so he should solemnly express his opinion to Li Li on behalf of the academy.

"That's very good." Li Li nodded and smiled, then put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you gentlemen."

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Li was about to leave, Kong Rong immediately became impatient. He could no longer care about the taboo, and hurriedly interrupted Li Li's words. He walked up to Li Li in three steps at a time, and said anxiously: " I still have something to ask, I wonder if His Majesty can agree to it?"

Li Li stopped when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen Ju doesn't need to be polite, but it doesn't matter if you say it. As long as it doesn't violate the etiquette system and is reasonable, I will agree."

Kong Rong was delighted when he heard the words, and he said without hesitation: "My dynasty is newly established, and your majesty confers on all the ministers. All the civil and military officials in the whole dynasty are rewarded. Why are all the generals who have served as officials in my Taiyuan academy rewarded, but none of the civil servants have been conferred? The move is quite puzzling to me, and I don't know the reason, so I ask your majesty to explain it clearly."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Cai Yong, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji changed drastically, and they all shook their heads to Kong Rong, implying that what he said was a bit out of line and very inappropriate.However, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to repent, so the three of them turned their attention to Li Li immediately, carefully observed Li Li's expression, and once they found something wrong, they immediately interceded for Kong Rong.

At the same time, Li Xuan and Guo Jia, who sat in the hall and listened blindly but did not express their opinions, also changed their expressions.Although Kong Rong said that he was asking for something, he actually asked Li Li why he treated the students who had graduated from the Taiyuan Academy differently. This was openly complaining for his own students.To put it mildly, Kong Rong wanted to stand up for the students to ask for an explanation; to put it bluntly, he was just protecting his students and openly asking the students for official positions.Since then, the problem has become serious.Kong Rong is not only the teacher and leader of the college, but also a minister under Li Li's command. If he openly fights for fame and fortune for his students, is this the way of a teacher or the way of a minister?

The most important thing is that the four deans in the hall don't know the inside story at the moment, and they don't even know that there are hidden secrets hidden among the ministers this time, including Li Li's comprehensive understanding of the future development direction of the Jin Kingdom. As for the layout, it's just that the time has not come yet, some things should not be made public, and they are done in an extremely cryptic manner, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are half-covered.But because they didn't understand the situation, it didn't mean that Li Xuan and Guo Jia didn't know about it either.On the contrary, Li Xuan, Guo Jia, and the other six military ministers were all participants in this matter. If Li Li was the instigator, then their eight military ministers were the accomplices and the executors responsible for the specific implementation.

"Mr. Wen Ju's words are wrong." Sure enough, before Kong Rong's voice fell, Li Xuan immediately got up and walked in front of Kong Rong, with a solemn expression: "This time, the big conferment of the officials is to reward meritorious deeds. They are all well-documented, not deliberate favoritism, favoring one over the other. Most of the students of the Taiyuan Academy are sent down to the counties and counties as subordinate officials after they become officials. Governing local counties and counties is by no means a one-time achievement. There will be no achievements in politics, so it is expected that they will not receive awards, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In contrast, students who served in the army fought with the army, charged into battle, and bathed in blood on the battlefield. As long as they fought bravely and were not afraid of life and death, they would be able to make achievements and accumulate military merits. said.Therefore, Wen Jugong's words are biased. It is unwise to listen to the students' own words, believe in the students' own words, and believe in the other side. "

Li Xuangui was the prime minister, and he was also in charge of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was in charge of the official hat.Therefore, what Kong Rong said just now was tantamount to blatantly attacking him. Naturally, he could not stay out of the matter, so he refuted it unceremoniously, with sharp words, and directly accused Kong Rong Asking for an official position for a student, it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of covering up and covering up, and he has an identity.
