Chapter 1118 Chang'an is my home, happiness depends on everyone

"enough!"

Wang Kuan sat there with a gloomy gaze, "I used to beg for the Confucian classics of the gentry, but the gentry kept it hidden. Now they don't need the old man to beg, and they take the initiative to teach the family's Confucian classics to the students of the Imperial College. Why is it so ?”

  Guo Xin said with a smile: "Because they feel threatened, if they take care of themselves, they will disappear sooner or later."

  Yang Dingyuan sneered, "The gentry has lasted for hundreds of years, how has it ever disappeared?"

  Guo Xin glanced at him lazily, "This moment, that moment."

  Wang Kuan stood up, "I am in charge of the Imperial College, and I only think about the Imperial College. The Imperial College now teaches Confucianism, and it seems to have a bright future. There are also many people who pass the imperial examination every year. May it last?"

  Guo Xin shook his head, "Jijiu, all departments have said that new students are more useful and capable."

   "This is the comparison." Wang Kuan sighed: "What about in the future? Every department will recruit new students in the future. Where does the Imperial College go?"

  Guo Xin said: "Sacrificing wine, Guozijian should be incorporated into mathematics."

  Yang Dingyuan was furious.

   "Flirty!"

  He felt that the atmosphere was not right, and slowly looked at Wang Kuan.

  Wang Kuan was thinking.

   "Sacrificial wine?"

  Yang Dingyuan felt that this was wrong.

   "Jijiu, you don't really think about this, do you?"

  Wang Kuan is the Guozijian sacrificial wine after all!

  Yang Dingyuan felt that he could not.

  Wang Kuan said: "Unfortunately not."

  Yang Dingyuan: "..."

  …

  Mathematics is still running in an orderly manner.

  Early in the morning, Jia Yu came to Mathematics.

   "Jia Yu!"

  Shangting looked like a gopher, got out from some corner, and said excitedly: "It is said that tomorrow will be a holiday."

   "Why?"

   Jia Yu was puzzled.

   "Say what a good day it is."

Shang Ting didn't know much about it, but he still couldn't hide his excitement, "What are you going to do on vacation tomorrow? I want to go to Pingkangfang, and Dongxi Market. place."

  Eat breakfast after practice.

   Followed by class.

  Many students are excited, some are even whispering, the classroom discipline is a bit messy.

  The gentlemen did not criticize, and before lunch, Han Wei entered the classroom.

   "No class tomorrow."

"good!"

   A group of students applauded loudly.

  Han Wei waited for them to calm down, and then continued: "Today I will give you a holiday, and tomorrow everyone will bring tools from home... One piece for each person, bucket, water ladle, hoe, shovel... Bring any one at home..."

  Shang Ting said anxiously, "Jia Yu, it's not good!"

  Jia Yu also felt bad, "Does this look like you're going to work?"

  Han Wei smiled and said: "The plan for a year is in spring. The school has prepared saplings, and they will be planted in Chang'an City tomorrow."

"Why!"

  The students who thought they would get a day off unexpectedly sighed in disappointment.

  Jia Yu returned home and wanted to find tools.

   "Hoe?"

  Du He felt that the young master was dizzy.

   "Yes, bring one."

  The young master of the Jia family is going to work.

  The family felt a little sad for no reason.

   "Mr. Da Lang has grown up."

   Jia Yu went to find his father.

   "Aye, the school says to plant trees in the future."

   "This matter is my arrangement."

  Jia Pingan put down the book in his hand, "A new student cannot be a classy person who is powerless. Daily exercise is just to strengthen your body, and planting trees can enhance your sense of responsibility."

   "No need to plant trees!"

  Jia Yu thinks that trees are everywhere, so where is the need for this?

   Of course, Jia Pingan would not say that this was his bad taste.

   On the second day, there were many more students in Chang'an City.

   They haunt each workshop in teams.

   "Jijiu, mathematics school is suspended today."

  Yang Dingyuan came to report happily.

   "Oh! What are they going to do?"

   As a sacrificial wine, Wang Kuan knew that the school should not take a holiday easily, otherwise people's hearts would be scattered.

   "It is said to plant trees, but now Chang'an City is full of mathematics students, and they have entered various workshops to plant trees."

   "Plant trees?"

  Wang Kuan was curious, "Go and see."

  He took some gentlemen, including the Three Musketeers, to Chongxianfang.

  In Chongxian Square, more than a hundred students are planting trees at the moment.

  Some people were digging holes, some were fetching water, some were fishing, and then they were scolded by their classmates and came forward to help.

  The residents were watching curiously, and someone asked Fangzheng, "What are they going to do?"

  Fangzheng was also at a loss, "I don't know. What are you talking about... Dressing up as Chang'an."

   "Chang'an can be decorated by planting trees?"

   "Yes! There are many trees."

   "Aren't these students..."

  The students were a little uncomfortable hearing these discussions, and the gentleman who led the team said: "Focus!"

   Do your thing, focus without distraction.

   This is the purpose of arithmetic.

  Students are hard at work.

   A group of people from the Imperial College came, and the gentleman took a look, "It's the Imperial College here, calm down."

  The two sides are opposite.

   "What do they mean?"

  At this moment, the climate in Guanzhong is suitable, and it is not the desolate scene of high loess slopes in later generations, with lush vegetation.

  Yang Dingyuan said: "I definitely want to please these people and plan for subsequent enrollment."

  Wang Kuan shook his head, "Go and ask."

  Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment.

   Everyone is against each other, so why ask?

  Wang Kuan shook his head and sighed, "Go, old man."

   Guo Xin came out, "Let me go."

  Wang Kuan nodded, "Alright."

  Guo Xin's stern and shameless apprentice, Jia Ping'an, has a friendly relationship with Mathematics.

   Guo Xin went over and handed over, and the gentleman who led the team handed over.

   "Dare to ask... what does this mean?"

Mr.    said: "Plant trees."

   I really know this is tree planting. Guo Xin's head was full of black lines, "Why do you plant trees for no reason?"

The teacher handed the shovel to a student and said: "New learning believes that vegetation can conserve water. If it rains heavily, the vegetation can store rainwater and reduce the possibility of floods; if it is drought, the vegetation has a huge root system, and the water below can be stored, which can reduce the damage caused by drought. .”

  A student next to him said: "Chang'an is my home, happiness depends on everyone."

   This is the slogan of this trip!

The gentleman smiled and said, "Imagine how pleasant it is to take a slow walk under the trees after dinner, when Chang'an is full of greenery? How pleasant is it when you go out and see the trees as you see them? Mr. Can create such beauty. So arithmetic came to decorate Chang'an with trees."

   Guo Xin turned around.

   A group of people in Guozijian were silent.

  Watching those students running back and forth energetically, Wang Kuan turned around with a wry smile and left.

   “What are our students thinking?”

   He asked with some dissatisfaction.

   "Study." Lu Shunyi said, his eyes glanced at the students with disdain.

  In their eyes, the sons of the gentry are masters when they come out, whether they are officials or celebrities. You want to talk about being a farmer and planting trees, what a joke!

   "Study!"

Wang Kuan looked sad, "What's the use of learning? I want to be an official. But to be an official, you can be a man first. The students of Guozijian are focused on being a master, but the students of mathematics are decorating Chang'an City...Chang'an is my home, and happiness depends on everyone. What is it? The old man sees this as a responsibility."

  Guo Xin smiled and said, "Exactly."

   "It is the responsibility of being an official herdsman."

   Wang Sheng said lightly.

  In the eyes of the children of the gentry, the common people are tool people, a tool for them to realize their ambitions.

   Shepherd looks familiar, but what about herdsmen?

  One sentence clearly reveals the attitude of the upper class towards the common people throughout the ages.

   Being an official is grazing!

   And the people are cattle and sheep.

  Wang Kuan shook his head, "Their students have the world in mind, while our students... are officials and herdsmen, but can they be good officials with narrow vision? I can't see it."

  Guo Xin saw that Wang Sheng was unwavering, so he added a knife, "Other students are thinking about Datang and Chang'an, but the students of Guozijian are thinking about their own bright future...Let's judge!"

  The Three Musketeers looked at each other and laughed.

  Seeing their contemptuous smiles, Guo Xin said, "Think about the Yellow Turbans, don't underestimate the common people."

  In the eyes of the gentry, the family is the first and the self is the second. What about the country?

  The country is none of my business!

  Wang Kuan said: "The Guozijian cannot sit idly by!"

  Everyone: "..."

  …

   "Guozijian went out of the city to plant trees."

   Jia Yu brought this news, which shocked Jia Pingan.

   "What does this mean?"

   "It is impossible to make mathematics specialize in the past."

"interesting."

  Jia Pingan thinks Wang Kuan is very interesting.

"Wang Kuan used to be quite dissatisfied with the new learning, thinking it was evil and crooked. But gradually seeing the strength of the new learning, he gradually changed his attitude. This person is as good as others. He is not that kind of corrupt scholar, let alone that kind of villain .”

  Wang Bo asked: "Sir, but some people outside say that the Imperial College is picking up people's tooth wisdom and following arithmetic. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

   Jia Pingan said meaningfully: "How long do you think the Imperial College can last?"

   At this time, if you still care about your face, you are looking for a dead end.

   "Aye!"

  Doudou sound came from outside.

   "What is it?"

   Jia Pingan asked with a smile.

  Doudou came in, "Aye, Ah Fu refuses to go down the tree."

  Jia Pingan pointed to Wang Bo, "Zian, go and have a look."

  …

  Ah Fu is on the tree. At this moment, the spring breeze is blowing, and it is slightly cold, which is exactly the climate it likes.

   "Ah Fu, come down."

  Doudou came.

  Ah Fu glanced at her lazily.

   Chirp!

  Uncle just won't let go.

   Doudou looked at Wang Bo, "Senior Brother Wang..."

  Wang Bo sneered, "Small things."

  He spat into the palm of his hand and started climbing the tree.

   Very fast!

  Doudou feels very hopeful.

   "Ah Fu come down."

  Ah Fu glanced at Wang Bo, and continued to lazily enjoy the spring.

  Wang Bo climbed up all the way, and when he was an arm’s length away from Ah Fu, he reached out and grabbed a branch.

  His feet slipped, and he was suspended in mid-air.

  DouDou opened his mouth, stunned.

   "Brother Wang!"

  Ah Fu glanced at Wang Bo.

  Stupid human beings, compared to me on a tree, isn't this self-defeating?

  Wang Bo stretched out his feet to hook the tree trunk, and every time he slipped past it...

   "Brother Wang is amazing!"

  Doudou felt that Senior Brother Wang was so good at swinging around.

   Wang Bo was proud of himself, and said, "I can still..."

  The branch was not thick at all, and part of it had been bent when he swung around. At this moment, he was discouraged when speaking, and his body sank violently.

"Snapped!"

  DouDou blankly watched Senior Brother Wang fall from the tree.

   "咱咕咱!"

  …

  Wang Bo was lying on the bed, and Jia Pingan asked with a straight face: "Why did you fall?"

  Wang Bo felt that his buttocks had become four petals, "It's because the branch is broken."

  DouDou said: "Brother Wang is so powerful, swinging on the tree."

  Wang Bo blushed.

   What a shame!

  Jia Hong also came to visit Senior Brother Wang, and said, "Senior Brother Wang looks really wronged."

yes!

   "咱咕咱!"

   Ah Fu called outside, Jia Ping went out, and saw Li Jingye.

   "Brother, someone from Chang'an has ascended the throne."

  Li Jingye said triumphantly: "Isn't this a great achievement?"

   "What does that man do?"

   "It's a farmer."

  Jia Pingan shook his head, "Report it, it's probably all right."

   Li Zhi was speechless and laughed after receiving the report.

  Wu Mei smiled hilariously.

   "The farmer ascended the throne at home, his wife is the queen, and two sons, one is a prince, and the other is an overlord."

   Li Zhi asked: "How did you find out?"

Li Jingye said: "At first no one knew about it, but that man went out to hook up with a young girl in the workshop, saying that he was the emperor, and he was willing to make her a concubine, but asked her to bring more dowry in, and the girl beat him with a stick." A half-dead man, Fangzheng heard the news and rushed over..."

  'Emperor' was beaten half to death by a country girl...

   is also a wonderful thing.

   "No one believes this person." Li Jingye added: "Everyone in the workshop said it had nothing to do with this matter."

   "It's scary."

  Li Zhi said: "Forget it, this person reprimanded him, and then released him."

   "Not to kill?" Li Jingye found it incredible.

  Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's just a fool, I don't need to use the life of a fool to show the imperial power."

  Wu Mei praised: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Li Zhi said: "This is not kindness. The so-called loving the people like children, in the eyes of the emperor, the people are children. If some children disobey, they should be punished. But some children are stupid and make mistakes, and they should be forgiven. Understood?"

  Li Hong is at the side, "Yes."

  Li Zhi nodded, "Tell me."

  Li Hong said: "Without rules, there is no circle. A country is a family. There must be rules in the family."

  Li Zhi nodded, "That's what the so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fish."

  The conversation changed, and Li Zhi asked, "You've been walking around the city recently, have you made any progress?"

  Li Jingye was numb.

  Wang Zhongliang coughed dryly, "Mr. Li, Your Majesty is asking questions!"

  Li Jingye looked up in astonishment, "Are you asking me? I thought I was asking Your Highness."

   Li Zhi said with a dark face, "Let's talk."

   "I have been inspecting the city recently. Most of the people obey the rules, but the officials are a little weird. High officials follow the rules, but small officials are domineering..."

   "This is not awe-inspiring." Li Zhi commented.

   Li Jingye suddenly realized, "This is the lack of social beatings."

   "What society beats?"

   "It just hasn't been cleaned up."

  The emperor nodded, "The higher the official, the more setbacks he has experienced, and the more vigilant and low-key he will be."

   "Yes." Li Jingye felt that the emperor was very wise, "There are also those foreigners who were in awe when they first arrived in Chang'an, but once they are too nice to them, they will be embarrassed..."

   "This is too much to go too far." Li Zhi felt that it would be good to listen to such reports, so that he could know the current situation in Chang'an.

  So he looked at Li Jingye with unavoidable satisfaction.

  The grandson of the Duke of England, it seems that the tempering of the past few years has worked, and he has become more stable.

   "That's right." Li Jingye almost forgot one thing.

  Seeing his serious expression, Li Zhi couldn't help sitting up straight.

  Li Jingye said: "Your Majesty, those brothels in Pingkang Fang have recently increased their prices frequently, so that there are many complaints..."

   Li Zhi waved his hands with a dark face, "Let's go!"

   Li Jingye was puzzled, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important!"

"go out!"

   Li Zhi was about to lose his temper.

  Even the queen had a cold face, "Let Ping An teach him a lesson later."

  Li Zhi nodded, suddenly covered his forehead and said, "I have a headache!"

  Wu Mei said: "But did you drink too much tea?"

  Li Zhi smiled and said, "You just want to... hey!"

  He covered his forehead, his face livid.

   "Come on!"

  Wu Mei suddenly stood up.

   "Aye!"

  Li Hong also rushed over, supporting Li Zhi anxiously.

  Li Zhiqiang smiled and said, "I'm okay, okay..."

  Wu Mei lowered her head, "Can Your Majesty still see the concubine clearly?"

   Li Zhi's eyes were blank.

  The emperor fell ill.

  Xun Xun called out from the side.

  Medical officers immediately entered in groups.

   Ask each one for their pulse, and then go out to discuss.

   "It's still an old problem."

  Shang Pharmacopoeia Yu Zhang Lin lowered his voice, "In the past, His Majesty's onset was slow, but this time he was in a hurry. Once the attack occurred, he couldn't see things and had a splitting headache."

  Shang Yaocheng Wang Houdong said worriedly: "I thought His Majesty's illness had been stopped, but now it seems that it is still there, and it is uncertain when it will explode."

  A medical officer said: "It has exploded."

   "Diagnose and treat." Zhang Lin sighed.

  The emperor was ill.

  The prime ministers came together, but the queen was sitting on it.

   "Your Majesty's condition is not serious." Wu Mei said calmly: "You just follow the steps and report something, and I will deal with it."

"yes."

  The prime ministers saluted.

  Datang has been in charge of a woman from this moment on.

  Xu Jingzong said: "Queen, an envoy from Tubo has come, saying that he wants to make peace with Tuyuhun."

Wu Mei said coldly: "Tubo suffered heavy losses in Tuyuhun last time. Knowing that there was no way to find a bargain there, they wanted to reconcile. Once Tuyuhun felt that Tubo was not a threat, what would they do? They would look back at Datang, Will expand everywhere. Wolf ambition!"

  It is not uncommon for a woman to govern behind a curtain, such as Empress Lu of the former Han Dynasty. But women often have some problems in managing politics, for example, their vision is not broad enough, they are petty in handling political affairs, and so on.

  But Wu Mei is different.

  Just a few words, the prime ministers all nodded.

   "What the queen said is true."

  Even Li Ji praised: "Exactly."

  …

   "Is Li cured?"

  The Tubo envoys were overjoyed upon hearing the news.

  "His old problems have been going on for many years, and no one will fall down at any time. Who is in charge at the moment?"

   "Say it's the queen."

"woman!"

  The envoy said contemptuously: "Women governing, this is our chance."

   "Your envoy!"

  The officials from Honglu Temple came.

  The envoy stood up to greet him with a smile, "I don't know what the intention of the court is? Besides, may I have an audience with the emperor?"

  The official shook his head, "Your Majesty is ill, the queen summoned you."

   Sure enough, it was that woman!

  The envoy secretly rejoiced, "I'll change my clothes here."

  He entered the inner room, and his entourage was ecstatic, "It turns out that the queen is in charge. If we can fool around, maybe we can take advantage of this trip."

  The envoy said reservedly: "Calm down."

   Later he followed to the palace.

  A curtain blocked his view of the queen from prying eyes.

   Salute, then exchange greetings and greet each other.

   "What is your envoy here?"

  The envoy said: "In order to live in harmony with the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is willing to make peace with Tuyuhun."

   A calm voice came from behind the curtain.

   "No!"

  …

Good night!
