Chapter 685: Where Li Ze's anger lies
Wuwei Academy, like Wuyi City, has been expanding continuously in recent years, fortunately, when Wuwei Academy was built, Li Ze reserved a large piece of land for them, but even so, now, these places have been filled. In the past, Zhang Hui could also reclaim a few wastelands in the academy as a place for students' agricultural practice, but now of course, there is no more.
Wuwei Academy has become a comprehensive academy for the training of all kinds of officials for the imperial court, in addition to the six arts, more pragmatic disciplines have also joined in, the doctors in the academy are not only the rich and rich Confucian, but also the big craftsmen who can't read many words, old farmers, these people, have been awarded official positions, equipped with special assistants, their experience compiled into books, and then taught students, published all over the world.
Over the years, Wuwei Academy has basically become a palace that all scholars in the world yearn for, because as long as you enter Wuwei Academy, basically, a bright future beckons to you. Even in the area ruled by the puppet Liang, those in the south who were still outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court were still outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but those who thought that they still had some skills, because they felt that their ambitions could not be stretched locally, they quietly ran to the north through various means, and ran to Wuwei Academy to study.
Of course, it is not too easy to come, but if you want to enter Wuwei Academy, it is difficult. There are no shortcuts, only exams.
Under Li Ze's rule, an education and training system has been formed with Wuwei Academy as the spire of gold, and then the state school, government school, county school, and township school system, although the state school does not restrict these people from applying for the examination, but they want to compete with those local students who study systematically, and only a very few succeed.
More have to apply to enter the state school, the government school make-up class. Those who are rich don't care, and those who are poor have to find a job to make ends meet while studying, and the hard work is naturally not for outsiders.
Of course, these foreign students who can compete and successfully enter Wuwei Academy have been highly valued by the college, firstly, these people are able to turn over the local students and successfully enter Wuwei Academy, which itself shows that their quality is extremely high, and secondly, it also has a lot to do with the imperial court's desire to run the south in the future. These elite talents from that direction are exactly what the imperial court needs.
Wuwei Academy, like a sponge, is constantly absorbing talents from all over the world.
And Zhang Hui is the supreme officer of Wuwei Academy.
When Han Qi and Xue Ping arrived at the small courtyard in Wuwei Academy, which belonged to Zhang Hui alone, Zhang Hui, a world-famous scholar of the Ministry of Rites, was beating his freshly harvested corn with his bare arms on a stone mill. With the lifting of his strong arms, the golden corn fell on a blanket spread on the ground. In stark contrast to Zhang Hui's sweaty face, his wife sat leisurely under the porch with a tanuki cat in her arms, while his daughter-in-law sat alone in front of the window with a scroll in one hand, and a transparent glass cup in the other, reading a book while sipping tea. The son Zhang Xun is the main secretary and supervisor, that place is really called a day of management, in January, only two days of rest.
So only Zhang Hui did these jobs by himself.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would naturally be surprised, but Han Qi and Xue Ping were extremely familiar with Zhang Hui, and they had long been surprised. After arriving at the small courtyard, Han Qi didn't talk nonsense, rolled up his sleeves, and went to help Zhang Hui beat the corn, the two fell together, and the cooperation complemented each other, Xue Ping was also a non-farm worker since he was a child, so he could only come to Mrs. Zhang to talk to her.
Zhang Xun's daughter-in-law came out at this time, moved two chairs for Xue Ping and a small one, made a pot of fragrant tea, and then went in to sit alone in front of the window and read a book.
Although Zhang Hui is a great Confucian, he is as powerful as a reckless man, Han Qi came from a humble background, these farm jobs have been done since childhood, although he does not lead the army to fight now, but he has not pulled down his kung fu, the two of them did it together, but it didn't take much effort, and they cleaned up the little corn.
Mrs. Zhang finally stood up, went to the house to bring a basin of water, took two towels out, and gave one to Zhang Hui and Han Qi. When the two of them hastily cleaned up, they went into the house with a basin and a dirty towel, and the tanuki cat meowed and followed in.
When the three of them sat down, Zhang Hui's daughter-in-law sitting in front of the window disappeared.
Obviously, it is to give these three senior officials the opportunity to talk about things alone.
"Li Xiang, why did you go to Pinglu at this time?" Embarrassed to ask directly, Xue Ping turned a corner.
Zhang Hui drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, looked at Xue Ping and said with a smile: "Pinglu has just been recovered, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, Zhu Youzhen has caused a lot of disasters in Qingzhou and other places, a large number of people have been lost, tens of thousands of prisoners of war need to be resettled, the autumn harvest needs to be timed, winter wheat needs to be planted, roads need to be repaired, and water conservancy must be built this winter, you should also know that Hou Xiyi has not done anything serious in the past few years, and the officials who have just been sent over are anxious and complaining, and they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, Li Xiang presides over the government, how can he not go to inspect?" First, it is to stabilize the hearts of the local people, and Li Xiang is here in person, and he can say a few words, which is better than those local officials who say 10,000 words. Xue Shangshu, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you are still staying in Wuyi and have not gone to Pinglu, I am a little strange! ”
Xue Ping's face flushed, and he picked up the teacup with some embarrassment, covering himself up by drinking water.
Han Qi coughed dryly and said, "Gong Zhang, I'm a martial artist, I don't like to turn corners when I speak, so I just said it bluntly, isn't the reason why Xue Shangshu has been staying in Wuyi just to do the truth?" If Xiang Zhen's matter had been resolved earlier, Xue Shangshu would have gone to Pinglu to preside over the relevant matters there. ”
Zhang Hui put down the teacup and looked at Han Qi, but his face became serious: "Each ministry performs its own duties, when does the foreign feudal lord come to Jin, do you need the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to come forward to receive it?" Even if you Han Shangshu, I think the focus of our work now should not be to compensate the soldiers who died in the Pinglu battle, reorganize and deploy the troops, and settle prisoners of war. ”
Han Xue and the others were both stagnant, and Zhang Hui was right, so that the two of them had nothing to say. But how could it be possible for the two of them to put down the stall in front of them and leave Wuyi?
The two were silent, and Zhang Hui smiled meaningfully.
"This is what Li Xiang is most unhappy about!" Zhang Hui filled the cup for the two, "The two of them are impeccable in terms of ability, and there is nothing to blame in terms of character." But the way of doing things is inevitably sick. ”
Xue Ping pondered for a while, and said: "Duke Zhang, let's not mention anything else, just talk about things, Lingnan Xiangxun is willing to serve the imperial court, which is always a great thing for the imperial court, right?" ”
Zhang Hui nodded: "Of course it is." In this way, in the southeast, we also have a foothold, and attacking Zhu Wen from the north and south will greatly shorten the time for us to destroy the pseudo-Liang and make the people of the world less suffering. ”
"In that case, why is Li Xiang so reluctant to see Xiang Zhen?" Xue Ping said.
"Shouldn't such a major event be proposed by Youji, then submitted to the court, and finally a resolution will be formed before being put into action?" Zhang Hui looked at the two of them coldly and said. "As a result, now, it is Xiang Zhen who has arrived in Wuyi, Li Xiang has only known, and the imperial court has known, but the southeast direction is already known to everyone, should this be normal?"
The two were again speechless.
"You have overstepped your authority and done things that are not what you should have done." Zhang Hui said coldly: "I have exceeded the two of you." From the imperial court to a small department, if there are no rules and procedures for doing things, you can do what you want, and you can meddle wherever you want, will it be done? Han Shangshu, think about it, if I go to your military department to spread the wilderness and arrange affairs for you, will you let those big-headed soldiers drive me out with a stick? ”
Han Qi smiled bitterly.
"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Zhang replied: "What's more, Prime Minister Li is the prime minister and the regent. Where did you do this, and where did you put Li Xiang? Where is the imperial court? Or what do you guys think of Lee Sang? ”
Of course, there are opinions, but they are unspeakable. Zhang Hui is a bright accusation, even though the two have the same reason, but none of them can be put on the table.
"Li Xiangtian is indulgent, but after all, he is only a young man in his early twenties, doesn't he have a temper?" Zhang Hui looked at the two of them and said: "I really annoyed Li Xiang, I don't admit it with a stalk on my neck, I just don't admit this family business, why do you deal with yourself?" I think as long as Li Xiang makes this statement, the people in the court who oppose it are just a few of you, right? How will you explain to Xiang Xun when the time comes? That's really a marriage, and it becomes a feud. ”
"Duke Zhang, you just said that this is beneficial to the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty." Xue Ping said urgently.
"I said that." Zhang Hui smiled: "But what I said, does Li Xiang's words work?" Or in Li Xiang's view, don't Xiang Xun, a foreign aid, dominate the world, it will just take a few more years, he is still young and can afford to wait. Now our situation, you two also know well, even if it takes ten years to lay the foundation, let me ask the world, who is the opponent? What's more, Li Xiang has always had a bad impression of those festival towns and wealthy families, and Xiang Xun and other southeast festivals are not necessarily the target that Li Xiang wants to clear? ”
Dense beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Han Qi and Xue Ping.
"How can this matter be reversed?" Han Qi asked directly.
"Li Xiang doesn't summon Xiang Zhen now, obviously he hasn't made up his mind yet, and the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, I can't help you in this matter, only you go and make it clear to Li Xiang." Zhang replied.
Han Xue and the two glanced at each other.
"Someone needs to pay for this!" Zhang Hui picked up the teacup, "This is a speculation about Li Xiang's attitude this time." ”
