After Li Changying left, thank you without saying a word from beginning to end.

————

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not make a name for himself as a diligent monarch. Generally speaking, his reputation was not great. He was not as talented and strategic as the Emperor of Da Li, not as literary and elegant as the king of Nanjian Kingdom, and even not as good as the Lu family who had lost his country.

The emperor is so famous, but Dongbaopingzhou has always been rich in the south and desolate in the north. The Great Sui Dynasty was unique in the north. Even the dignitaries of the Nanjian Kingdom were willing to visit it. The children of the Gao family in the Great Sui Dynasty were also frequent visitors to Guanhu Academy.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty rarely called the mainstays of the Sui Dynasty, including senior officials from the Six Ministries, to hold a small court meeting in Yangxinzhai after the morning dynasty, but today was an exception. However, many generals, ministers and ministers, including the Minister of Rites, knew what was going on.

It seems that the turmoil in the academy has reached a point where His Majesty the Emperor must personally intervene.

Therefore, the short old man who is also the master of the academy became the focus of attention. This Lord Tianguan, the first person in the six yamen, walked hand in hand with his friends in the temple, and there was no panic on his face. The short but powerful Minister of Etiquette

, it seems that he is confident, but several "parties", including Han Lao Zhuguo, don't have a good face.

The small court meeting was held in a tepid manner, not even as strong as the charcoal fires in the pair of small braziers in the house. His Majesty the Emperor just took out some undecided matters of the large court meeting and stirred things up. Everyone here has been practicing in the officialdom for most of his life.

He is already familiar with this kind of ordinary government affairs, and he will quickly pass the resolution one by one. I believe it will be quickly conveyed from the center of the capital to the local government.

When the important matter was settled, His Majesty the Emperor took a sip of the still warm lotus seed soup. Everyone was refreshed, knowing that the main event was finally coming.

His Majesty the Emperor put the cup on the cup, looked around, and said with a smile: "Why, dear sirs, are you all waiting to see my joke?"

Although Han Laozhuguo is very old, he is still strong and energetic. He is sitting upright on the chair, not angry and proud, but he is also a little embarrassed at this time. And the thirty-year-old Marquis Huaiyuan is even more uneasy, as he is

After the hereditary Duke and Marquis achieved great achievements in the Sui Dynasty, they would generally fade out of the sight of the temple. Unless there were important matters, they would rarely take the initiative to participate in the morning court. This was a well-established official rule, but today several big bosses, including Han Lao Zhuguo, gave him

I kindly sent him a message, asking him to attend the morning meeting today so as not to have a chance to defend himself if something went wrong.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty saw several ministers who wanted to stand up and plead guilty at the same time. He smiled and stretched out his hand to press down a few times. "You don't have to get up. Just sit and talk. I am not here to ask for punishment today. I just want to know something that is not so false."

You don't know that everyone, including Xuan'er, has been talking about this in the advising room every day recently. Their studies are so messed up that their chief master complained so much that he was so angry that he asked them to just go to the Cliff Academy to study."

The Minister of Rites, who was the smallest but had the highest official position, stood up slowly and went through the general process, speaking impartially.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty asked with a smile: "Did Mr. Mao himself say that he would not care about the children's play?"

The Minister of Rites nodded and said, "That's true."

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty hummed, "I understand."

Then he fell into deep thought.

In fact, none of the important officials of the Sui Dynasty here are so naive as to think that His Majesty the Emperor really does not know anything, and that he really thinks that the Sui spies are vegetarians?

Just to deal with the infiltration of Da Li dead soldiers and spies, the annual secret expenses of the Sui Dynasty Household Department were like running water, but there was no sound.

In fact, if Emperor Lu had listened to the advice of the Sui Dynasty, was not so conceited, believed in the information provided by the Sui spies, and made preparations in advance, even if the Lu family's empire would be destroyed, the outcome could not be changed, but it would definitely not happen so quickly.

All the elegant civil servants in the Sui Dynasty couldn't help but cursed that all those in the Lu family's court were nothing but wine and rice bags.

This was true for civil servants, let alone the generals of the Sui Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty slowly came back to his senses, smiled and said to several people including Han Lao Zhuguo: "That's it, that's it. The fight between children, even if there is no bad intention, can

You also need to have some sense of proportion.”

The first half of the Sui Emperor's words were actually exactly the same as those spoken by Mao Xiaodong of the Confucius Institute.

Then the morning meeting just dispersed.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty left alone the Minister of Rites.

The short old man saw the monarch stand up, squat down by the brazier, and pick up the iron tongs to stir the coals himself. The eunuch guarding the door did not do it for him, and the old man was not surprised.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty put down the small iron tongs, put his hand over the charcoal fire, and said softly: "Looking through the history books, the pressure comes not only from the powerful enemies of neighboring countries who will not stop fighting, but also from the internal people who are loyal to the emperor and love the people."

Master Tianguan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty laughed at himself, turned around and waved to the old man. The Minister of Rites quickly ran over and squatted with the emperor in some embarrassment.

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty asked with a smile: "Why did Da Li go south in such a hurry? Guanhu Academy had a vague attitude and was unwilling to give a clear explanation, but now it is more anxious than us. The young man named Li Changying, whose title of sage has always been

I delayed it on purpose, but I heard that in the Guanhu Academy, there were voices directly calling Li Changying a 'gentleman'. Do you think it's funny or not?"

This question cannot be answered casually even to death.

The short old man became increasingly cramped.

The emperor asked: "If it were Ma Shangshu and the others, no one would be as timid as you. They are all very hard-core. Then do you know why it was you who led the cliff academy in the end instead of them?"

The mountain owner?"

The short old man said softly: "Because I am the least popular scholar, as the mountain master of the new academy, your majesty does not have to worry about getting into trouble with Mao Xiaodong."

The emperor reminded: "Call Mao Lao."

The short old man said in fear: "Yes, yes, it's Mr. Mao."

The emperor nodded and said to himself: "As much respect as Da Li can give to Mr. Qi, I can even give the same respect to Mr. Mao. This is the biggest difference between me and Da Li, that barbarian of the Song family."

The short old man was about to say something.

The emperor smiled and shook his head, "But it's of little use."

The Minister of Rites was completely panicked.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor rarely speaks like this to his ministers.

Except for the time when the old man unexpectedly became the Heavenly Official of the Great Sui Dynasty ten years ago, this is the second time.

His Majesty the Emperor said with emotion: "Literati have a scholarly spirit. Of course you scholars must have that. But just having the spirit of a scholar and governing the government with morality may not be beneficial to the country."

The old man did not dare to remain silent, so he had to bite the bullet and replied dryly: "Your Majesty is wise."

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty turned around and said with a smile: "You, everything is good, but you are too cautious. Don't do anything to slander your reputation in the future. How can I not know the character of your children? How dare you do it?"

The act of embezzling people's fertile land. Especially your young son, what a good seed for studying. Not to mention the first and third place, there is definitely no shortage of imperial examination preparation skills for Jinshi. Why do you have to suppress him?

"

The old man's lips trembled, he gritted his teeth for the last time, stood up and knelt down again, choking with sobs: "I can only use this clumsy method to share your Majesty's worries!"

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty helped the old man stand up and said warmly: "Above the temple, many people say that you are just a good gentleman who makes troubles, but few people think that ministers like you are the truly indispensable pillars of the Sui Dynasty!"

The old man suddenly burst into tears. He felt that the grievances of more than ten years had been wiped away. He knelt down again and said, "I am so virtuous and capable. I cannot trust Your Majesty!"

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty lightly kicked the old man, and said with an angry smile: "How dare you rely on the dignified Minister of Rites? Get up quickly, that's outrageous!"

The short old man stood up and quickly wiped his face, "I made your Majesty laugh."

The emperor sat back down, waved his hand, "Go back."

The short old man bowed and left.

The emperor pulled out a Confucian classic from a small stack of books and flipped through the pages without raising his head. He asked casually: "I heard that there are many weird styles in the world. One of them is called book-turning style?"

The emperor's voice was very low, but the tall eunuch outside the door still replied: "Reporting to your majesty, it is indeed true. There is no evidence of where this breeze originated. I only know that it likes to read books, and the books are old and new.

, this wind is so faint that ordinary monks cannot detect it. If it is guided by others and absorbed into the body, this wind will slowly flow among the internal organs. If you read books frequently, you can prolong your life."

The emperor raised his head and said in surprise: "So good? Then do we have it in the Sui Dynasty?"

The old eunuch with white eyebrows shook his head and said: "The style of book turning has always been unique to Confucian academies and cannot be found anywhere else. Even in Taoist sects or in holy places such as Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, there is no trace of it.

A wisp.”

The emperor sighed: "The creation of heaven and earth is so mysterious. It's a pity that I am only an emperor."

The old eunuch smiled and said: "This is a misfortune for Your Majesty, but it is a blessing for the people of the Sui Dynasty."

The man in the dragon robe laughed heartily and looked delighted.

The emperor put down his book and suddenly asked the eunuch outside the door: "Do you need Gao Xuan to study at Shanya Academy?"

The old eunuch did not hesitate at all, and shook his head and said: "The last trip to Lizhu Cave was dangerous, but the harvest was extremely fruitful. Your Highness almost has two great opportunities to himself. There is no need to study. What's more, since Your Highness dares

Agreeing to this matter and following the old slave to the hinterland of the enemy country Da Li is a great opportunity."

The emperor nodded and sighed: "So, Xuan'er is luckier than the others."

But the emperor rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "But Zhen'er suffered an unreasonable disaster in vain. His mother finally persuaded him to go to the vassal fiefdom. It was a happy thing. As a result, this guy Gao Xuan was in Lizhu Cave.

The girl who called herself Gao Zhen was killed by the enemy girl who happened to be passing by. She dropped from the sky with several sword immortals from other continents and found Zhen'er. Although she later found out that she had mistakenly admitted the wrong person, she quickly apologized and left. However, Zhen'er has been there since childhood.

He is very cowardly and very frightened."

"This is my fault. If I had known this, I shouldn't have been so impulsive in the alley of Lizhu Cave."

The tall eunuch bowed slightly, his face full of guilt.

The Emperor of Sui Dynasty waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it. By the way, has the true identity of that girl been found out?"

The eunuch shook his head and said: "It's difficult. I only know that he is a figure on the other side of the Upside Down Mountain. It cannot be said that he has anything to do with the Sword Qi Great Wall. It is really difficult."

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty sighed and said: "It's normal that we can't find out. After all, we are not on the same continent as the Northern Sword Cultivators. Once it involves the Daoxuan Mountain and the Sword Qi Great Wall, it becomes even more secretive. Those two places have always been ours."

This is a taboo in the world."

The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty finally said helplessly: "The world is so big, but the key is more than one."
