Chapter 214 [Fengming Academy]

ps: I was stuck yesterday, and the light and darkness at night completely relaxed myself. Today I was in excellent condition. There was another update tonight, 12,000 words! Don’t stop me. Today I just paid back yesterday’s owed update. After today’s 4 chapters, I still owe everyone four chapters, and I haven’t forgotten :)

***

It was said that it was a small dynasty meeting, but in fact, all the important officials of the old Qin Dynasty attended the meeting, headed by Lao Gan Long and Zhang Chuang. None of the officials in the various departments were absent. Even the newly widowed wife Li Jiang suddenly sat down. Seeing Bai Dong walk into the hall, Li Jiang's expression changed slightly, and seemed to think of the fact that her husband only knew how to hold Bai Dong's hand when he was leaving. This boy had never been willing to show off, but this time he accepted the order to write a call for recruitment. I am afraid that most of them were still caring about her husband's death wish. It was a pity that all the civil and military officials in the court said they were opposed. Even the doctor stood on the side of the opponent. This was really outrageous!

When Bai Dong walked into the class, he saw Du Zhichong constantly winking. As soon as he guessed, he knew that Du Zhi was scolded by the ministers during the court. He sighed slightly in his heart and looked up at Ying Quliang. He saw that he was also full of sorrow. Before the court was officially started, the eunuchs secretly reported to him about the ministers' discussion outside the hall.

Ying Quliang really couldn't understand why it was so difficult to do something? The countries in the world despise Lao Qin because they did not practice literature. The doctor was the most knowledgeable person with Lao Qin. But if he was placed in the world, he would be considered a scholar with a very old qualification at most, and he would not be considered a scholar at all. Bai Dong has been a popular figure in the literary world in recent years, but he is only a master of learning and has made great contributions to learning. The new poetry style is unique and is far from being a precedent and a generation of learning.

Lao Qin has a weak foundation, and most scholars in the world still refuse to join Qin. How can there be rituals and music without literary affairs? Even Master Meng said, "No one in Lao Qin understands the Spring and Autumn Period." The "Shangshu Mark" and "Shangshu Bianyi" written by Gan Long and Junbian were even regarded as jokes by students from all over the world. At this time, he did not recruit talents in the world. How could Lao Qin have a chance? But why did these old ministers object? They even brought together a letter of opposition signed by thousands of Qin scholars and forced themselves to give in! This was the first time he issued a major order after ascending to the throne. If he gave in, what prestige would there be in the future!

He could not give in, but he argued that these old ministers seemed to represent the scholars of Lao Qin and the people of the country! They were all loyal ministers and straight ministers, and they would accuse him of not knowing how to make a successful country at any time. Sooner or later, they would defeat all their ancestors' responsibilities and be foolish monarchs like Jie and Zhou! Ying Quliang was angry and could only breathe heavily. This was the health method Bai Dong taught him. When he was in a bad mood, he could calm his mood by taking a deep breath.

As Fan Qiang announced the beginning of the court meeting, the firepower of the ministers immediately targeted Bai Dong. Everyone was dissatisfied with Lao Qin's issuance of the recruitment order, but it was difficult to get angry at Ying Quliang directly. Bai Dong became the bridge and punching bag for them to indirectly refute the king; but their attitude towards Bai Dong was slightly different. Some people patted their thighs and wanted to point at their noses and scolded him for being misleading the country and the people. Some looked fierce, as if they were about to rush over to win their lives. Lao Ganlong, who was usually close to Bai Dong, was gentler. After listing his mistakes one by one, he sighed a long and helpless sigh, which made Bai Dong almost think that he had really become a sinner who made his relatives feel sad and the enemy happy.

Facing the attacks of the ministers, Du Zhi, the only one who supported Bai Dong, blushed and quarreled with everyone; he didn't care whether the order to recruit talents was right or wrong, and he knew that there would be no mistake on the side of the king and Bai Dong. As a result, Ying Qian pointed at his nose and called him a slander. If he hadn't hid behind Bai Dong quickly, he might have been beaten up by this uncle. The court in the pre-Qin era was far more "democrats" than the later generations. When the ministers debated fiercely, they could really fight. If Ying Qian beat him, there would be no place to argue.

After all, it's still the same truth, it's too uninnovative...

Facing the attacks of the ministers, Bai Dong said nothing, just smiled. In the end, even Zhang Qi, who was most violently opposed, was embarrassed to say anything, but shook his silk book signed by thousands of scholars on it and wandered in front of him: "Old Qin scholar is angry, don't you know what's wrong? When the order of recruitment is released, the countries in the world will only laugh at me, old Qin, and the scholars in the world will despise me, old Qin, and the hearts of my old Qin! Boy, you are not for the country, but for the misunderstanding of the country! I am afraid that once this order is issued, old Qin will be truly useless, and even my Qin scholar will be in Shandong! Can you hold you accountable at that time?"

"After this, Zhang Chuang! The order to recruit talents was issued by the emperor, and my country also agreed. Are you talking like this? Are you saying that the emperor and I mislead the country?" Li Jiang sneered and interrupted Zhang Chuang's words.

"Even if the king and the country are too misleading, I dare to say it!"

"Zhang Chuang, you!"

This Daliang Zao is really a person with a temperament. He actually contradicted Li Jiang on the spot, and even Ying Quliang cursed him. The ministers in the hall frowned at the same time. Although they were in the same camp, they didn't want him to make a fuss. Who doesn't know that the king is famous for being round on the outside and square on the inside. If he really makes his character angry, he must issue this order to wizard the talent. So what can everyone do?

Ying Quliang thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to turn against the ministers at this time, so he suppressed his anger and asked Bai Dong, "Bai Zuo Geng, the ministers just accused him, but you didn't say a word and just smiled. Is there nothing to say?" He knew this fourth brother too well. Don't look at Bai Dong not talking at this moment, once he spoke, there will be amazing arguments.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't say anything, but the ministers remembered a story about sugar cakes, the name is 'Who moved my sugar cakes'. It's like there are two lazy little mice. They found a very large sugar cake in a cave, so they didn't have to make anything every day and could eat delicious sugar cakes. Gradually, they became lazy and became two fat mice..."

The old Qin ministers were puzzled. Why did this guy tell the story as he talked? Could it be that he was going to curse people?

"One day, two obese mice suddenly found that there were much less sugar cakes belonging to them. This was definitely not what they ate. So they searched wildly and finally found that new mice appeared on the other side of the cave. These mice were more flexible and agile than them, so they could eat more sugar cakes every day. Gu Shang and Mrs. Tai guess what happened to these two mice later?"

Bai Dong smiled and said, "They are crazy! They regard the newly emerging mice as enemies and try every means to drive these new mice out of the cave because they cannot allow their sugar cakes to be shared by others. Are these two mice both pitiful and sad?"

"Boy, you're cursing!" Zhang Qi was furious. He finally realized that he was the two fat and useless mice.

"I am cursing people, scolding those who are not sober! Old Qin is not a sugar cake, and I, Old Qin, should not be those two useless mice. But why do some people always refuse foreign scholars to enter Qin? Old Qin's civil affairs are not cultivated, which is well known to everyone in the world. Since they have shortcomings, they should take the strengths of scholars from various countries and make up for my old Qin's shortcomings! Now all the civil and military officials in the court are just asking for shame, but they don't know if they have lost all their faces!"

Bai Dong walked up to the king and bowed deeply to Ying Quliang: "Your Majesty can put down his poor face and be so respectful to the virtuous and humble men is the blessing of my old Qin. I think this is the best way to revitalize the old Qin. Just as Wei first had Li Jue, only the country was strong, and then Wu Qi, only the army was strong. These two people are called by Wei people? Wei can still do it, why can't I, Lao Qin!"

"It's so easy to say. If the scholars from all over the world refuse to enter Qin, but the old Qin scholars are disappointed, what should they do?" Zhang Qiu pressed step by step.

"I heard that with the sycamore tree, there will be phoenixes flying in. Why did Qi build the Jixia Academy for Wutong? My old Qin is poor and weak, and I used to have no money in the past. This is the origin of not practicing literary affairs. Master, I have seen this, so I made perfume, burn porcelain, promote literary treasures, and start commercial laws. What I did is today... Please allow the emperor and the grandmother to allow me. My old Qin is willing to build an institution that is no less than Jixia Academy for me! This does not take three or five years, and it will lead to the entry of the academic sects of the world. The scholars come. Who else dares to say that I am old Qin has no literature? I will only praise the prosperity of my literary style in the western Xinjiang!"

Establishing a school institution to attract the world's academic sect? As soon as Bai Dong's bombshell came out, the Liyang Palace was shocked. Old Gan Long asked loudly: "Bai Dong, do you really have such ambition?"

The ministers also looked at Bai Dong. Could this kid be crazy? Qi State had a foundation in literature and could only achieve Jixia Academy. It is said that there are no less than a million books stored in the Academy alone. All schools of learning regard it as the world's number one institution of learning. But how many years has this accumulated? Even if you have countless money, you may not be able to buy such a profound literary connotation. Are you not afraid that the institution will be built, but no famous scholars are willing to come to learn?

"Okay! What a Bai Dong! What a Bai Zi! What a good boy! This is my loyal minister of Lao Qin! I am grateful for the knowledge of my ancestors underground!"

Li Jiang's eyes turned red when she heard this. If it weren't for the civil and military officials in the court, she would have wanted to rush over and give Bai Dong a big hug, and then kiss the boy and the couple hard. The father-in-law did not see the wrong person!

Ying Quliang was also extremely excited and asked repeatedly: "Have you ever chosen a location for the school? Is there a name? You will definitely not let you pay for such a big deal alone. The government will allocate money to urge this matter!"

"My ministers already have a place in their hearts. Just east of Xianyang, between Jingwei and Wei, there is a Taigong Ridge, which is said to be where Jiang Taigong lived in seclusion back then. It is only fifty miles away from Liyang, and the customs are excellent. If the emperor agrees, the ministers will measure the land tomorrow and plan for construction matters. In addition, the ministers also know that the national treasury is insufficient, so the matter will be funded by the ministers, which can be regarded as solving the difficulties of the Qin Dynasty."

Bai Dong smiled and said, "As for the name of the school... I, Old Qin, was the hometown of Zhou's house back then. There is a saying about Fengming Qishan. This school is called "Fengming Academy". What the emperor thinks is good?"

This is the first institution of Lao Qin in the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the future Huangpu ~ Military Academy is not an exaggeration. How could Bai Dong let others interfere? Or if you don’t build it, you will rely on your own family to build it. In the future, all the important officials of Lao Qin will come out here. With Lao Qin, there will be Baijiazhuang for one day. Speaking of it, it is to share the worries of the country, which makes Ying Quliang cry. Isn’t it a hundred years or a thousand years for the Bai family? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
