Chapter 403: Conversation with Gao Shilian

Xuan Shijing lifted the hem of his clothes, sat opposite Gao Shilian, lifted the teapot, added tea for Gao Shilian, and poured a cup for himself by the way.

"....... in this school" Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Shilian suspiciously, Gao Shilian was outside, so who was teaching inside?

"It's Xiao Yu." Gao Shilian squinted his eyes and smiled: "As the old man expected, Xiao Yu is old and stubborn, and he still does his own thing in the court, and he works against His Majesty, His Majesty was angry and dismissed his official position and let him retire at home. ”

"Teacher Lao is bothered." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said.

Gao Shilian smiled and waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, this Dongshan County is a good place for outstanding people, and this academy is also a place for self-cultivation, like the old man and Xiao Xianggong, most of their lives have been rolling in the court, and there are not many people who can still maintain their original intentions, the old man dare not say whether he still has that original intention, but Xiao Xianggong has always known what he is doing as an official, and now the old man and Xiao Xianggong are also on the same path. ”

Xuan Shijing nodded, Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu have retired from the court, what kind of life they will live next, the two of them also know in their hearts, Gao Shilian now almost regards teaching in the academy as the most important thing for the rest of his life, and now he has also pulled Xiao Yu to the academy, which makes Xuan Shijing also feel at ease with the academy.

There are not many scholars from the poor family who fulfill this sentence after all, and if you want to meet the requirements of this sentence, the hardships are not something that outsiders can imagine, and the academy in Dongshan County recruits the children of ordinary people, which is a very bold act for the court monopolized by the gate valve nobles, Xuan Shijing is also worried that the academy in Dongshan County will encounter resistance from the officials of the DPRK and China, and now that the academy has Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu in charge, Xuan Shijing will not be afraid for the time being, unless His Majesty speaks to move the academy, otherwise, The court is not going to mention that the academy is not good at all.

Although Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu are retired, their connections and fame are still there, not to mention that teaching and educating people in Dongshan County Academy is not only the merit of the academy, but also the merit of the two ministers.

"How are the children of the academy?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's all good." Speaking of his students, a smile appeared on Gao Shilian's face: "They are not the most talented children that the old man has ever seen, but they are the children who are most willing to study hard, the so-called diligence can make up for the clumsiness, these people's children are not stupid, but no one has ever taught them to read before, the old man and Xiao Xianggong added the west seat of the academy, teaching them to read and write, once the wisdom of these children is opened, the road ahead, most of them are under their feet, and they go by themselves, and now it seems that the pace of these children is very steady." ”

Xuan Shijing smiled: "These children were like sand in the desert before, the arrival of the teacher and Xiao Xianggong brought them a clear spring, if they don't work hard, they are afraid that they will have pimples in their hearts." ”

"Xuanhou's metaphor is very appropriate." Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled: "Not to mention the academy, Xuanhou attacked Goguryeo and returned to Chang'an from Pyongyang City, I'm afraid it will be promoted." Gao Shilian asked.

"The prince of Jinyang County, the prince Zhan Shi." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "It's all a false position, and the days ahead will be long." ”

"Not bad." Gao Shilian echoed: "Your road, you have to go backwards, Your Majesty led the civil and military officials, created the glory of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and now the entire Tang Dynasty is thriving, still going uphill, not yet to the peak, but the old ministers of Zhenguan are getting older and older, the old ministers in the court are getting fewer and fewer, and more and more young talents are active in the court, and you, between them, there are still a few years and more than ten years of effort." ”

Gao Shilian's words are also very straightforward, directly telling Xuan Shijing, what you can shine most is not the present, but the future, but when the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future.

"It's good for young people to see and learn more outside, so there is no need to rush it." Gao Shilian said with a smile.

"The students are not in a hurry at all, to be honest, the students have no interest in the political affairs of the court, but they have to be mixed in it, the students know very well, if the students are not in the court, there is no power in their hands, there is no favor of His Majesty, then everything the students have now is just a bubble phantom, the prosperous Zhuangzi students in Dongshan County can't keep it, the students of this college can't keep it, and the students' huge family property can't be kept, so the students know that if they want to protect what is important to them, the students must go to the court to contact the political affairs, So students are not excluded. "Xuan Shijing.

"There are all kinds of people in the court, there are mediocre people like the old man, there are people like Xiao Xianggong, there are also sophisticated people like the eldest grandson Wuji, and there are sleek people like Xu Jingzong, or why do the people of the world say that the sea is ups and downs, but in fact, it is not prudent, and it will be beaten down by the monstrous waves, the old man has many students, but you are the most brilliant one taught by the old man." Gao Shilian said with a smile.

"Teacher Xie praised." Xuan Shijing replied with a smile.

Gao Shilian's praise is a great honor for Xuan Shijing, Gao Shilian is still hanging the name of the crown prince, and when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, there is the emperor, so that the future emperor can say this to him, it is indeed worthy of Xuan Shijing's pride.

This is not a big rebellion, the prince Li Chengqian has more masters, the head of the Bo family, he has been a child who has been cultivated by His Majesty Li Er since he was a child, and he is also a student of Gao Shilian, and the meaning of Xuan Shijing's student and Li Chengqian's student is different.

Originally, even if Gao Shilian retired, it was enough to be a teacher in the Hongwen Hall in the palace, but Xuan Shijing directly intercepted Gao Shilian when he was not yet a scholar, and by the way, he relied on Gao Shilian to pull Xiao Yu down to the academy.

"That's right, Xuan Gong."

"Teacher, let's call me Shijing." Xuan Shijing smiled: "The word Xuangong came out of the teacher's mouth, and the students were a little cautious. ”

"Hahahaha." Gao Shilian was amused by Xuan Shijing: "It's just a title, but you are also a county prince now, and in terms of title, you are only one level shorter than the old man." ”

Xuan Shijing smiled a little embarrassedly: "What does the teacher have to say to the students?" ”

"It's still Xiao Xianggong's business, now that the old man has a house in your Zhuangzi, do you think you should also arrange a place for Xiao Xianggong? Xiao Xianggong mentioned this matter to the old man, but you were still in Liaodong at that time, so it was put on hold for the time being. Gao Shilian said.
