Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Han Tong, Chen Jingyang County, see your empress!"

Panting heavily, Han Tong knelt down to salute.

The group of them followed the guard of honor and ran all the way to Liujiazhuangzi.

Now all of them are kneeling on the ground in disgrace, and the official uniforms are also full of mud spots.

Seeing this group of people, the smile on Empress Changsun's face disappeared immediately.

She glanced at Han Tong expressionlessly, and said lightly, "You are responsible for the safety of the whole county. You are not allowed to leave your post without permission. Go back quickly!"

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun walked directly into Liu's house.

Han Tong complained incessantly, and cast a look of help to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai didn't even look at him, turned his head and walked in.

Han Tong is not one of his own, so Liu Bai is too lazy to care where he offended the queen

In the hall!

Empress Changsun stood in front of Liu Yongnian's spiritual throne, bowed respectfully, took the incense candle from Liu Wan'er who was serving at the side, lit it herself, and put it in the incense burner.

"It's a pity that Wen Yigong left early. This palace and His Majesty wanted to repay their kindness, but there was no way to do so."

Empress Changsun sighed softly, looked at Liu Bai beside her, and said: "You are also a poor child, you lost your parents at a young age, but fortunately, you have lived up to Duke Wen Yi's high expectations, and you can support the Liu family with one hand, Glorious door lintel, also just around the corner!"

Liu Bai cupped his hands and said: "My father always taught Liu Bai that he should be generous and generous. If my father knew that the person he saved back then was His Majesty, he would be deeply honored!"

Empress Changsun reappeared a bit of a smile on her face, and said, "So, you have prepared winter clothes for the people of Liujiazhuangzi?"

Liu Bai invited Empress Changsun to sit down, and seeing Empress Changsun holding up the teacup, he said: "The Liu family is the master of the Zhuangzi, so it is natural to consider the villagers. This is also a rule set by my father before his death. You can come to Liu's house and get the winter stuff!"

These words, Liu Bai didn't add any water, and it was indeed Liu Yongnian who had confessed it on purpose before his death.

Empress Changsun took a sip of hot tea, was silent for a moment, and said, "If a rich family can be like your Liu family, and treat the farm households like relatives, then there will be no more wars in the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity."

There are too few people like the Liu family, at least, this is the first time Empress Changsun has seen them.

Empress Changsun sighed lightly and did not mention this matter again.

Waving Liu Bai to sit beside her, Empress Changsun said: "Do you know why I am here?"

Liu Bai smiled faintly, and said: "Your Majesty must have come here to abolish the Hongwen Museum!"

It's not difficult to guess, after a little thought, you can know that it must be what you said to Fang Xuanling, which made Li Er feel quite embarrassed, so the queen came here to ask advice on Li Er's behalf.

"You are indeed a smart person!"

Empress Changsun nodded approvingly.

She told Liu Bai the consequences of the abolition of the Hongwen Museum, as well as the stakes in it.

"Although the Supreme Emperor has agreed, once the Hongwen Museum is abolished, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many royal families. Because of this, His Majesty has not made a decision for a long time. This palace is entrusted by His Majesty to come here to ask your opinion. "

Chapter 32: The Emperor's Disciple!Let the emperor also teach?

From the very beginning, Liu Bai knew that the abolition of the Hongwen Museum would inevitably cause resistance from many royal families, so when he mentioned this matter to Fang Xuanling, he thought of a solution.

However, just saying that the "Shangshu" is a forgery has already frightened Fang Xuanling quite a bit, if he is provoked again, who knows if any accidents will happen?

Therefore, Liu Bai did not tell Fang Xuanling to his face.

But now that the queen and empress are here, he will naturally not hide it anymore.

"Dare to ask my mother, why do the children of the royal family want to study in the Hongwen Library?"

Empress Changsun was startled, not understanding why Liu Bai asked this question, but she still replied immediately: "Hongwen Hall gathers great Confucian scholars, and has the right to participate in and discuss state affairs. Naturally, studying here is for the future, to be able to seek a good fortune in the court." official position!"

"Your Majesty's words are very true. The reason for the children of the royal family to study in the Hongwen Academy is to find a good position. If the Royal Academy can give them the same treatment, then who cares whether the Hongwen Academy will be abolished or not?"

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, but there was still doubt in her eyes.

Even if the Hongwen Museum is abolished, will the children of the royal family be willing to enter the Royal Academy, and compete with the poor students for the chance to enter the court?

Liu Bai smiled faintly, picked up the teapot, and refilled Empress Changsun's teacup.

"Just like this pot of hot tea, if it is placed in Liu Bai's cup, it is worthless, but if it is placed in the empress's cup, everyone in the world will regard it as a treasure."

He put down the teapot, and continued: "Using things to push people, if the empress gives this cup of tea to others, no one will care whether this cup of tea and the tea in Liu Bai's cup come from the same pot."

Empress Changsun stared at the cup of tea in front of her, pondered for a long time, and said, "You mean, as long as they are given enough benefits, the children of the royal family are willing to compete with the poor students?"

"Exactly that!"

Liu Bai stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Bai boldly advises, Your Majesty, please personally serve as the head of the Royal Academy, and you can choose a few days a year to teach in person, no matter if you are a royal child or a poor student, as long as you study hard and pass In the academy assessment, you can be called the emperor's disciple!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the maids and eunuchs in the hall, as well as the two sisters Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er, all changed!

Who is the emperor?

Son of Heaven, Ninety-Five Supreme!

Liu Baihua meant that the emperor should be a teacher? !

As soon as this action is taken out, it will definitely shock the world, and set off a monstrous wave among the scholars!

Empress Changsun was also horrified!

However, it's not because of Liu Bai's courage, but because Liu Bai's method is definitely a brilliant strategy!

The emperor teaches in person, even the noble royal family will definitely flock to it!

With the title of emperor's disciple, who cares how many people compete?

Empress Changsun even thought of a deeper level.

With the emperor teaching in person, students from all over the world will definitely rush to study in the Royal Academy. It won't be long before there will be no more academies opened by dead families.

When the Royal Academy becomes the sect of the world, the status of the aristocratic family will definitely plummet!

Thinking of this, the way Empress Changsun looked at Liu Bai was obviously different from before.

Is this a 15-year-old boy supposed to be wise?

One-handed tricks, interlocking, without the slightest flaw!

Invisibly, a huge trouble was solved for the imperial court!

"Liu Bai, you really are"

Empress Changsun didn't say the following words, but everyone could hear it, this is tantamount to the best praise!

Got a clever plan from Liu Bai, Empress Changsun couldn't sit still anymore.

After chatting casually for a few words, they were going back to the palace.

Just as she walked out of the gate of Liu's house, Empress Changsun paused in her footsteps.

She glanced at the few eunuchs carrying trays under the steps.

When the queen came to the homes of the subjects, she naturally had to be rewarded.

For an ordinary family, rewarding some gold, silver and jewelry is already a great favor, but Liu Bai is different. Today's incident made her fully see Liu Bai's talent.

"In the future, Liu Bai will definitely be my Tang's minister!" Empress Changsun thought to herself.

After pondering for a moment, she turned around, took off two gold hairpins from her head, and handed them to Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er with her own hands.

"This is the golden hairpin that His Majesty bestowed on me when I got married. I have been wearing it all these years, so I will give it to you!"

The two sisters Liu Wan'er were so flattered that they quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!"

Liu Bai smiled, and then bowed to salute.

These two gold hairpins are very meaningful, if Liu Wan'er and the two sisters wear them, they can see officials without paying homage, and even low-ranking officials like Han Tong would even salute them when they meet!

Empress Changsun looked at Liu Bai again, and said with a smile: "I wanted to call you to Chang'an directly, but since Your Majesty has a one-year agreement with you, I can't force it. I will come back to the palace when I have my birthday next year." !"

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun walked up to Fengchao, and soon the guard of honor left Liujiazhuangzi.

After sending off the queen, the people in the village still did not disperse, they were all discussing excitedly.

Different from Li Er's sudden visit last time, this time when the empress came, she was full of etiquette and gave the Liu family a lot of face.

No one has ever made the emperor and queen pay so much attention!

Even the two daughters Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er were holding the golden hairpin bestowed by the queen, chatting non-stop.

But Liu Bai, with Xu Chu, quietly walked towards the study.

Walking all the way into the study and closing the door, Liu Bai spread his palms.

In the palm of his hand, there was a piece of paper two fingers wide!

This note was just slipped into his hand by a handsome young eunuch when no one was looking.

"Master Mingjian, this subordinate has been in the palace for many days. Now he is serving as a servant of the seventh rank in the Yeting Bureau. The person who delivered the letter is named Xiaoman. He is a eunuch who is purchased by the Palace Yusi. He often goes in and out of the palace. In the future, the young master can pass through Xiaoman. Contact subordinates!"

On the back of the note is an address to contact Xiao Man.

There wasn't much content, but Liu Bai read it over and over several times.

Finally, at the bottom right of the note, an almost invisible key was found.

Liu Bai couldn't help sighing, "A good man is a good man, even if no one takes care of him, he can open up the situation in a short period of time."

This note is from Liu Jin!

As early as the second day after summoning Liu Jin, Liu Bai gave him a sum of money and asked him to go to the palace.

Unexpectedly, in only seven or eight days, Liu Jin has become a seventh-rank servant!

You know, the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Bureau, who is in charge of the living of the emperor and queen, is only from the fifth rank!

Liu Jin is now at least a middle-level official in the inner palace.

Liu Bai memorized the address on the note firmly, then lit the note and threw it into the brazier.

It wasn't until the note was completely reduced to ashes that Liu Bai got up and walked out of the study

Chapter 33: Summon Li Shizhen!Li Yuan is critically ill

There are less than 20 days to go before the Chinese New Year. Whether it is above the rising sun or among the people, everything should be as calm as water.

But a memorial from Prime Minister Fang Xuanling completely broke this peace!

Abolish the Hongwen Museum and establish the Royal Academy!

For a time, the world was shaken!

You must know that the Hongwen Museum was founded by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and the students in it are all the children of the royal family. It is conceivable that this move will definitely arouse the resistance of the royal family.

However, the imagined resistance did not appear.

On the contrary, the important officials of the royal family, headed by Hejian County King Li Xiaogong, even jointly signed a letter to support the establishment of the Royal Academy!

When the news spread that the emperor would also go to the Royal Academy to teach, the whole world was in an uproar!

What an honor to be a student of the Son of Heaven!

Moreover, poor students are also eligible to enroll!

After hearing the news, students from all over the world rushed to Chang'an one after another. Some people who traveled far away couldn't even take care of the New Year, so they immediately packed their bags and planned to compete for the first batch of admission qualifications.

No one mentioned the matter of abolishing the Hongwen Museum!

For five days in a row, Liu Bai never left home.

Liu Bai had no interest in what happened outside.

Every day except eating and sleeping, he stayed in the study all the time, even Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er didn't know what Liu Bai was doing.

In the study!

There were blank sheets of paper with large characters written all over the place, and the table was also covered with ink marks.

Liu Bai held the brush, his eyes fixed on the tip of the brush.

After finishing the last stroke, Liu Bai carefully put away the brush and said, "Is it okay this time?"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: within five days, raise your calligraphy to the level of a master and get the title of [Surprised Dragon]. The host's calligraphy level is enough to surpass everyone in the world!"

Liu Bai wiped off his sweat, sat down on the chair, and then let out a sigh of relief.
