Oh, in fact, I have an idea, which is to build a college on the bank of Qujiang, Chang'an, and then print and revise all the books I have written in China, and hide them in the academy for free to borrow and study. It can also allow wise people to interpret the confusion in the books, so that the poor and poor morale in the world will not have to worry about reading books and have no words to follow. Naihe's nephew is troubled by official business and it is difficult to take time to deal with this matter. Brother Xianyun is serious in his work, so he has a careless request, and I hope the Taoist priest can agree to what he asks for."

Yuan Tiangang was stunned at first, then raised his eyebrows: "Academy... good, what kind of good is this? If it can be achieved, I can edit the classics of ancient and modern times to distinguish the rituals of the country, and to comprehend the doubts of historical books. That's great, this idea is really wonderful!" Yuan Tiangang was so excited that he couldn't sit still. He stood up and wandered indoors, muttering about various benefits. He was stunned. This old guy's brain was indeed not ordinary. With just a little effort, he could think that there were so many good things in the academy, but he was indeed not an ordinary person.

"But..." Yuan Tiangang turned around and said to me: "Although this matter is a very good strategy, we should ask His Majesty for permission first so that it can be implemented conveniently. What do you think?"

I nodded: "I am here to discuss with the Taoist priest. Now that the Taoist priest has a good idea, I should obey it." Xianyun next to me did not expect my purpose. In addition to looking at his sister, he also had to give him such heavy responsibilities. From his master's expression, Xianyun could definitely guess that this was definitely a great thing.

His eyes became extremely bright, as if he wanted me to deliver the task to him now. At this time, Liu Shuangfang walked into the house with the cooked tea, and saw the strange appearance of the three of us. He couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong with you, Master?"

"Haha. It's okay. Come on, drink tea first. I am very interested in what you said. I will make a good idea. If I get the permission of Your Majesty, I am willing to donate the collected books for the purpose of reading and learning by the academicians." Yuan Tiangang happily arranged the long beard.

I discussed with Master Yuan for an afternoon and rushed back to home. At this time, my father had already gotten off the court. As soon as I entered the house, I stepped forward and took off the outer cover for the old man. I patted Xuemo off and said with a smile: "Father came back very early today."

"Well, there is nothing to do today, so I'll come back sooner, Erlang. Although you have just returned from the battle and have a ten-day leave, you must not slack off all day long. It's better to go and get familiar with official duties earlier." The old man nodded kindly, sat on the couch, took off his gloves, reached out and rubbed his hands in front of the iron stove and said.

"My father taught me a lesson. In fact, the child has not been idle these days and is hesitating for a big deal." After I handed over the old man's land to the servants around me, I sat opposite the old man and said, "Oh? What's the big deal?" The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

I told the old man about opening a college and what I discussed with Master Yuan today. The old man’s reaction was almost no different from that of Yuan Tiangang. He also applauded first, and then asked me in detail about the purpose and ideas of opening a college. Finally, the old man said with relief: "Erlang is worthy of being the son of my family. Why didn’t he say such a wonderful plan earlier? Haha, I am definitely a father to support you in the matter of the academy, but..." The old man narrowed his eyes, flashed the Taoist demon light, and picked up the corners of his eyes: "This matter is just as Master Yuan said, it is better to go and find Your Majesty."

"Why, father, isn't it better for you to go? My child is just worried that he would mess up the matter, so he came to wait for his father to discuss it at home." I was a little curious. Creating a college was an important step for me, not just to make a name for myself by relying on the establishment of the college, but also hope that through the development and prosperity of the college, I can push my master's theory to a broader market and allow people to get in touch with more diverse knowledge and cultural concepts.

The old man smiled faintly: "For this period of time, it has been difficult for a father, so I can only be cautious in my words and actions for the time being, but you are different. Your Majesty has always been very fond of you, the son-in-law. You have made great contributions recently and are not arrogant. Your Majesty has praised you in the court. The academy is a great thing for the country and the people, and it can also help you to a higher level."

Seeing that my father was very determined, I had to agree with my father's suggestion. However, if I asked, my father just didn't say anything difficult for him. However, looking at his expression, this difficult thing seemed to have little impact on him and our Fang family, so I had to give up the idea of ​​asking.

The next day, after teaching Li Zhi and the prince, I pulled Li Zhi to the side, and also used the academy matter to tempt him. Sure enough, this young and energetic prince suddenly became my assaulter for breaking the fortress of Uncle Li. There was no way. I still need Li Zhi's assistance. If I don't tell him, it will easily cause him to misunderstand. Telling him will make my future actions easier. After all, he is the prince. As long as he can make many things easily dealt with with a squeak.

Li Zhi pulled me to the Qifeng Pavilion where Uncle Li often stayed. On the way, I asked Li Zhi. "Xiaozhi, have you heard of any rumors during this period?"

"Rumor? What rumor?" Li Zhi was more gossipy than me, and stopped immediately and said intriguingly. I, Bai Yi, glanced at me: "If I know, can I ask you? Well, I want to ask you, in this court, is my old man having a conflict with a minister."

After hearing what I said, Li Zhi patted his thighs: "You didn't say it earlier. I've already found out about this. I thought I'd tell you when I went to your mansion to visit your seventeenth sister and nephew in two days. But since you asked now, I'll naturally tell you everything. Hehe, Brother Jun, don't change your face. I'll talk to you now. This matter has to start from the past. You must know this person. This old guy likes to offend people the most and doesn't like anyone else. He has to say it to you..." As soon as Li Zhi said it, I suddenly thought of a person that is troublesome and funny.

"Are you talking about Duke Song, Prince Taibao Xiao Yu and Lord Xiao?" I hesitated to report that this famous minister is comparable to the stones in the pit. Li Zhi raised his thumbs at me: "Brother Jun is a talented man, and he can guess it. It is this old guy. As long as he has time, he will follow my butt. This is not possible, and that is not possible. From time to time, I say that my etiquette is not in accordance with the rules and the movements are not in line with the identity of the prince. In short, the old guy doesn't like anything." Li Zhi's expression seemed a little angry, well, what does Prince Taibao do? The Grand Master teaches the Prince's Wen, the Grand Master teaches the Prince's Wu, and the Taibao protects his safety. How old man Xiao is? The old man in his seventies has to walk leisurely, let alone protect the Prince's safety, so Old man Xiao just got an honorary position. Of course, the Prince Taibao also has another function, which is to supervise the Prince's words and deeds.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Old Man Xiao is not a simple person. He has been against Taizu Li Yuan and dared to stare at the civil and military ministers in the court. Xiao Yu is definitely a real great man. In the Tang Dynasty, the most important era of origin, he can be said to have been rich in all generations. His grandfather was Xiao Cha, the Emperor Xuan of Later Liang. Xiao Xian, who was fighting for land with the Tang Dynasty, was still a relative of his nephews. Empress Yang of Sui was his elder sister. He was also the son-in-law of the Empress Dugu family.

However, he has always been very loyal to Uncle Li. Back then, the princes fought openly and secretly, Li Yuan favored his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and was suspicious of his second son Li Shimin and wanted to get rid of him. This old man Xiao firmly supported Li Shimin's succession despite his personal gains and losses. Later, Uncle Li admired Xiao Yu's loyalty and courage very much and once gave him a poem, which is still circulating today, which is: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the stern one knows the sincere ministers. If a brave man knows righteousness, the wise must be kind."

However, although this old man Xiao is upright and selfless, he is suspicious. He is too arrogant and looks down on others. He doesn't like anyone else, and he feels that the other party has a grudge against him. Especially those who look down on low-class people, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and even those who come from famous families like my father, he always thinks that Uncle Li should only favor ministers like him.

This is not counting. The most famous one is the old guy's big mouth and fighting spirit. I am afraid that even the cockfighting specially trained in the palace would be at a disadvantage. Even Uncle Cheng mentioned this old man Xiao, which was a headache. At least Uncle Cheng would never take the initiative to provoke this gun-level cockfighting master.
