The court meeting dispersed, and the courtiers reacted differently.

Some people are worried, and naturally some people are excited, for the emperor's saintly act, to educate the people of the world's decision.

The Manchu Dynasty left with civil and military forces, but only two people remained.

Xia Hongsheng, who did not see any movement in the court, and Chen Xuansu, who had just been appointed by Li Shimin as the head of the upcoming Sifang Academy.

"Master Chen, congratulations on your promotion!" Xia Hongsheng smiled at Chen Xuansu.

"Thank you Xiahou!" Chen Xuansu replied, but he was puzzled between his eyebrows, he didn't know why the emperor would promote him, and let him be the head of the Quartet Academy, nor why he would leave himself and Xia Hongsheng alone. But looking at Xia Hongsheng's smile, he seems to know something.

The two stayed in the Liangyi Palace, and after waiting for a while, Li Shimin appeared.

"Come to think of it, Chen Qing should be puzzled in his heart, right?" After the two met, Li Shimin looked at Chen Xuansu and asked with a smile.

Chen Xuansu bowed and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed something incomprehensible in the minister's heart. However, since it is His Majesty's will, the ministers should do their best. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Hehe, Chen Qing doesn't know the inside story, so it's better for Xia Qing to explain!" ”

"Master Chen, this is a long story." Xia Hongsheng said to Chen Xuansu: "First of all, let's talk about what cultural occupation ...... is"

It took a lot of time, Xia Hongsheng finally explained everything to Chen Xuansu, and Chen Xuansu finally understood the emperor's deep meaning.

"Your Majesty means that this Quartet Academy is the first step in the cultural occupation of the surrounding countries and tribes and the Sinicization. The responsibility of Weichen is to strictly urge those sent by various countries and tribes to study Confucianism. Chen Xuansu said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, Chen Qing's responsibility is to strictly control those students of the Sifang Academy, so that they can practice Confucianism and other arranged courses. Except for the course arranged by me and Xia Qing, they are not allowed to come into contact with anything else. In particular, many of the skills of my Datang cannot be learned. I made it clear to Chen Qing that the students I wanted to see in the Sifang Academy were a group of rotten Confucians who only knew what they knew, Chen Qing could understand? ”

Chen Xuansu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

Xia Hongsheng saw Chen Xuansu's surprise on the side, so he smiled and said, "Lord Chen, do you know why our army of the Tang Dynasty can deal with the Turkic army and destroy the withering and decaying?" The weapons used by our Datang army are much more advanced than those of the Turks. Datang's ability to maintain deterrence against neighboring countries relies on the many skills that Datang is ahead of. These Tang envoys came to the Tang Dynasty, and Lord Chen thought that they were really convinced from the bottom of his heart, so they came to worship? No, their purpose is to come and learn our Datang techniques, and then make them strong after they go back. Therefore, it is extremely important for Datang to ensure that Datang's technology is not learned. Since this person is uneasy and kind, we Datang naturally don't need to treat them so sincerely. Master Chen just made all the students in the Sifang Academy into those who have no real skills, can't cultivate themselves and govern the country and level the world, but are full of rotten Confucianism, and then tell them to return to China, teach these things that have no practical use to the people in their country, mislead them, and let them go back to the country. Lord Chen, don't think that this move is despicable and insidious, this is all for the sake of Datang, for the people of Datang, and for the sake of the people of Datang, who can not be invaded and threatened by other countries, and carry out helpless actions! I also hope that Lord Chen can focus on Datang and the people of Datang! ”

As he spoke, Xia Hongsheng bowed down and bowed to Chen Xuansu: "Please also ask your lord to focus on the overall situation for the sake of the righteousness of the world!" ”

"Don't dare!" Seeing Xia Hongsheng saluting him, Chen Xuansu also hurriedly bowed and said, "I follow the foolishness, and I also know that I should put the world and the country first, why not hinder the country's affairs because of personal fame and fortune?" Please rest assured that Wechen will live up to his mission! ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Chen Qing really understands the righteousness. After that, Chen Qing and Xia Qing worked together to handle this matter. Chen Qing is in the Ming Dynasty, and he is the head of the Quartet Academy and teaches his people. Xia Qing was in the dark, maneuvering among the envoys sent by various countries to mislead him. Hehe, Chen Qing, in fact, Xia Qing made more sacrifices, in order to win the trust of those Tang envoys, so as to be able to guide and control the actions of those Tang envoys, and to know their thoughts, but he abandoned his reputation, in the eyes of those Tang envoys, Xia Qing has already become a greedy and traitorous pet! ”

Chen Xuansu was taken aback again, and then saluted Xia Hongsheng: "Xiahou does not hesitate to honor for the Tang Dynasty, and he admires it!" ”

"I don't dare to be, I only hope that Lord Chen will join forces with me, so that these wolf ambitions can't take advantage of Datang!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Xia Qing, from now on, Chen Qing is the black face I arranged for you." In today's court, those envoys already know that Chen Qing is a minister, who does not eat hard and soft, and sticks to his principles. Chen Qing has been in the Sifang Academy since then, and the same is true. And Xia Qing is still incarnated as a greedy man, maneuvering around, and the two of you cooperate with each other to control those Japanese people who are disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Disrespectful?" Chen Xuansu was stunned for a moment, the performance of the Tang envoy in the court, there was no place to see the disrespect.

"Lord Chen, take a look." Xia Hongsheng took out a piece of silk paper, which was the letter of the Japanese State presented by Inugami Mita on that day.

"The Eastern Emperor respects the Emperor of Baixi......" Chen Xuansu took the letter of the Wa State, bowed his head and just read a sentence, and suddenly frowned: "Bold!" How dare you call yourself the emperor?! Your Majesty! This is clearly humiliating Your Majesty......"

Chen Qing was not annoyed. This is a great disrespect to me, and I know it. Li Shimin raised his hand and waved, and said: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. However, it will only be a few years since the destruction of the Turks, let alone in the land of the Japanese country? If it weren't far across the ocean, Datang would only need one general and thousands of elite horsemen, which would be enough to wipe out its country. He wants to learn the things of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can go back and make it strong, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Scholars can govern the country, but they can also disrupt the state, since they want to learn, I will let them learn enough. Chen Qing is in charge of the Sifang Academy, and it is enough to remember eight words. ”

"The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will, these eight words, please give advice to Your Majesty!" Chen Xuansu was also angered by the letter of state, and asked very solemnly with a black face at the moment.

"Take the dross and discard the essence." Li Shimin sneered and said softly.

Chen Xuansu was shocked, felt the coldness, and bowed down and replied, "The minister understands!" (To be continued.) )
