Chapter 1042: Xiao Yu joins the court
"The academy is the same as the imperial examination, it is not based on the background and the selection of talents, so the most important thing for the academy is to be fair and fair, and some opportunists must not be allowed to mix in, so the head of the academy must also have an upright personality, be upright, and be upright, and look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the minister feels that Wei Zheng Wei Zheng is the most suitable doctor for the position of the mountain chief!" Li Xiu recommended a Tao with a smile at this time.
The last time Buddhism was suppressed, which led to the decline of Buddhism's power, dozens of senior monks were exiled to the northern grasslands, and Xiao Yu believed in Buddhism, so he hated Li Xiu, the initiator, and in addition to Li Xiu, Wei Zheng, who was in charge of the Monk Daolu Division, was ranked second, so Li Xiu deliberately used Wei Zheng to stimulate Xiao Yu, of course, Wei Zheng is indeed very suitable for the position of the head of the academy.
Sure enough, hearing that Li Xiu actually recommended Wei Zheng, and he was belittling himself in and out of his words, this made Xiao Yu couldn't help but be angry, and immediately couldn't help but speak: "What the horse said is inevitably a bit excessive, my Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and there is not only one Wei Zheng in the court!" ”
"Wei Zheng is indeed very suitable for the position of mountain chief, but Song Guogong's words are not bad, for example, Song Guogong is also famous for his uprightness, so when choosing a candidate for the position of mountain chief, I first thought of Song Aiqing." Li Shimin also smiled at this time, he and Li Xiu sang with a white face and a red face, and finally let Xiao Yu fall into the trap.
Hearing Li Shimin help him speak, Xiao Yu's face softened a lot, but Li Xiu sneered and said: "Whether Song Guogong is competent or not will be put aside for the time being, but didn't Song Guogong have already refused before, and in comparison, Doctor Wei is also younger, the academy is just starting, there must be a lot of affairs to deal with, with Song Guogong's age, the minister is worried that he will be low on energy and will not be qualified for the position of mountain chief at all!" ”
"Li Xiu, what do you mean? Could it be that you can't get along with the old man! Xiao Yu was finally angered by Li Xiu's words at this time, and asked loudly at the moment, he was originally a fiery temper, and sometimes he didn't even give Li Shimin face, plus Li Xiu deliberately provoked Xiao Yu three times and twice, which naturally made the old man unable to control his temper anymore.
"Song Guogong, what are these words, I'm just talking about things!" Li Xiu replied in a calm tone, anyway, Li Shimin called himself to sing blackface, so he kept it dark to the end, and he and Xiao Yu didn't get along, so there was no need to worry about offending him again.
"Xiao Aiqing is angry, although Li Xiu's words are a little straighter, but Wei Zheng is indeed a suitable candidate, but I hope you can take over this important task, so please think about it again!" Li Shimin hurriedly played a round at this time, and by the way, he threw an olive branch to Xiao Yu.
This time, Xiao Yu finally stopped refusing, and immediately said without even hesitating: "The minister is willing to take the position of this mountain chief, and then some people will see who is more suitable for this position!" ”
When Xiao Yu said the end, he deliberately glared at Li Xiu defiantly, but Li Xiu smiled lightly at this time, and stood there and stopped talking, which made Xiao Yu also stunned, because Li Xiu's reaction was a little wrong, he "robbed" the position of the mountain chief, shouldn't he be angry because of this? But now they don't even argue, and they are like two people just now.
Although Xiao Yu has a bad temper and is easily provoked, it does not mean that he is stupid, in fact, he was quite famous when he was a teenager, and he has been up and down in officialdom for decades, and he has seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, so at this time, he finally reacted, he was in a rage just now, I am afraid that he has fallen into the trap of Li Xiu and Li Shimin.
Thinking of the above, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be angry, especially when he saw Li Xiu with a faint smile, as if he was not afraid that he had seen through their plan, which made Xiao Yu angry, but he had already taken over the position of mountain chief just now, and he absolutely couldn't deny it, it can be said that this dumb man is a loser to him.
Li Xiu and Li Shimin are indeed not afraid that Xiao Yu will see through what they used just now, firstly, he has agreed to serve as the head of the mountain, and it is impossible to repent, and secondly, Li Shimin also understands Xiao Yu's character, as long as he agrees, he will do his best to do it, and he will definitely not be passive because of personal grievances.
"Your Majesty, the minister retires!" Li Xiu also retreated very interestingly at this time, the goal has been achieved, and his task has been completed, but Xiao Yu has also seen through their plan, and then it is time for Li Shimin to comfort the other party a few more words, and it is not suitable for him to stay here anymore, so that it is convenient for them to talk.
"Okay, you can step down first, I'll discuss something with you later!" Li Shimin also understood Li Xiu's intentions, nodded immediately, and then left Xiao Yu alone, firstly, to eliminate the anger in his heart, and secondly, to give him a detailed introduction to the situation of the academy, so as to facilitate his takeover.
At this time, it was just after noon, and Li Xiu thought that the Analects on the printing office should be almost finished, so he walked to the printing office. Because the original printing office was burned down, the new printing office also increased the manpower for defense, and it was full of flammable materials, so the control of the printing office was also very strict, such as everyone entering and leaving had to be searched, mainly to prohibit anyone from bringing fire objects into the building, even Li Xiu was no exception, because this rule was set by him personally, and naturally he had to set an example.
After a search into the printing office, there is a strong smell of ink, readers say that the book has a bookish fragrance, in fact, it is the taste of ink, but when the taste of ink is a little lighter, it can be called ink fragrance, but if the smell is too heavy, then it can't be called incense, anyway, Li Xiu doesn't like this smell very much, so if it is not necessary, he is not willing to come here.
As soon as I entered the printing office, I immediately saw that there was a steward directing people to transport books out, and bundles of freshly bound books were placed on the cart and pulled out, because the number of Analects printed this time was huge, so the storehouse of the printing office was simply not enough, and some books had to be transported to all parts of the country for sale, so these Analects had already begun to be transported outside in batches, or stored or loaded into trucks and transported to other places, and the people in the bureau were also busy going around, and there was no spare time at all.
The cars carrying the books gave way to the road, and the steward in charge only said hello to Li Xiu, and then ordered the team to leave, and only after these people left, Li Xiu stepped inside.
Printing is also divided into several processes, such as typesetting, printing, trimming, and finally binding into a book, Li Xiu according to the different processes, and the printing bureau is divided into several offices, typesetting, printing, etc., the core of which is typesetting and printing, and the connection of this process is also the closest, so the two offices are also next to each other, and there is a door in the middle.
Li Xiu first went to the typesetting and printing institute, the process here is also the most familiar to him, and then went to the trimming and binding here, printing is not only one page on a piece of paper, but several pages on a piece of paper, which can speed up the efficiency, and then cut into pages with a knife, and arrange them in order before they can be sent to the binding there.
Li Xiu checked the pages cut by the craftsmen, because all the printed books were Analects, which was also the only book that Li Xiu could memorize, so he was also very familiar with it, and immediately looked at the book roughly, and did not find any mistakes, so he nodded with great satisfaction.
"Kick off the pony, someone outside wants to come in!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a guard on the periphery of the printing office trotting in, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately reported it.
"Who is it?" Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, in addition to prohibiting the entry of the printing office with things that cause fire, other idle people are also not allowed to enter, unless it is with Li Xiu's consent, otherwise it is useless even if Li Shimin comes.
"Song Guogong!" The person who reported the news hesitated for a moment before he spoke, he didn't know about the grievances between Li Xiu and Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu's temper was not very good when he came, and he didn't have much respect when he mentioned that he wanted to see Li Xiu, so he was also worried that Li Xiu would be angry when he saw the other party, which would implicate him.
"Why is he here?" Li Xiu couldn't help but muttered to himself in surprise when he heard this, and then thought for a moment before speaking, "Let him come in!" ”
"Yes!" The messenger agreed, and then rushed away, Li Xiu smiled calmly at this time, from the change in the expression on the messenger's face just now, he guessed that Xiao Yu's current anger must not have disappeared, but since he came to see him, there must be something important, it is estimated that it is still related to the academy, and he does not want to hinder official business because of personal grievances.
Li Shimin's persuasion obviously didn't have any effect, Xiao Yu was still angry when he left the Liangyi Palace, and what annoyed him even more was that because of the matter of the academy, he had to go to see Li Xiu again, so he went to the financial supervision first, but he didn't expect to pounce, and finally asked the people from the financial supervision department, and then he knew that Li Xiu should be in the printing office, so he rushed here angrily.
It's just that what Xiao Yu never expected was that he was a dignified prince, and he was stopped when he wanted to enter the printing office, although he disdained to argue with a group of palace guards, but he was inevitably angry, and these were all counted on Li Xiu's head.
Finally waited for the person who went in to report the news to come out, and invited him in, Xiao Yu also snorted coldly and walked away, the person who reported the news wanted to help him lead the way, but he also refused, after all, the printing office is not very big, and it is not difficult to find Li Xiu.
However, Xiao Yu took the wrong path at first, and actually came to the printing place, but when he saw page after page of paper full of Analects sentences, printed like snowflakes, he was shocked and speechless on the spot, although he also heard about some things about the printing office, but after all, hearing is false, until now he has seen with his own eyes that it is so easy to print out the Analects, which also makes him feel extremely shocked, and he has forgotten the reason why he came here for a while.
