Xu Jingzong probably didn't expect that Chu Suiliang would be so bold today and dare to say these words in front of Fang Jun. He had been paying attention to Fang Jun's face. When he saw the man's gloomy expression, he suddenly became anxious and quickly defended himself. He said: "I have never said this before, let alone meant it. Old man, you judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, but why do you blame me? It's so shameless!"
Chu Suiliang showed no sign of weakness and snorted coldly: "A manly man, spitting every nail, how can you swallow back what you say? Even if you try your best to deny it, those words are indeed what you said. You know I know , Heaven knows and earth knows, how can we deny it?”
"Fuck you, mother-in-law!"
Xu Jingzong was furious: "Old man, how dare you rant like this? I will not spare you today!"
Chu Suiliang was also tough today. He made a fuss about his whole life and raised eyebrows: "You yourself despise Fang Er, a stick, but you have to grovel because of his power. Why did you arrange Fang Er in front of me?" Isn't that right? I can't stand the second roommate. He always has the same attitude in front of others and behind others, both openly and secretly. Unlike you, a treacherous villain who always does one thing in front of you and another in front of you. It's really disgusting, ugh!"
"Mother! How dare this old man spit on me?"
"What can you do? You have no integrity, you are servile, you are a silverfish!"
…
The scribes in the check-in hall stopped one after another, staring dumbfoundedly at the two men, like two fighting cocks, spitting into each other's faces, their beards, hair, and faces red, and they were about to pinch each other. Someone quickly came forward to dissuade him.
But Fang Jun waved his hand and said calmly: "It doesn't matter to me, you can go and do what you have to do. Oh, someone can bring me a cup of tea. This cup is a bit warm."
"...Here!"
The scribes were slightly stunned, but Fang Jun's prestige was not just bragging. The entire academy respected and feared him. His ability to subdue the dandies in the entire Chang'an City was extremely admirable.
So even though she was curious in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey his order and quickly performed her duties. Someone ran over and made Fang Jun another cup of tea and quickly left.
Fang Jun held the tea cup, took a sip, then adjusted his sitting posture, and looked at the two old guys with sparks flying with interest.
Please continue your performance!
As a result, he looked like he was watching a show, which made the two old guys at a loss...
They are already old and have many children and grandchildren. Is it possible to really fight like the gangsters in the market? Not shameful enough. It was just that he was so angry just now that he wanted to cut the other person in two. If he just stopped like this, wouldn't it make the whole academy laugh?
For a moment, the two looked at each other, and both could see the embarrassment and regret in the other's eyes.
I'm so excited...
After all, Xu Jingzong was still dark-hearted and thick-skinned, and said angrily: "This old man is just talking nonsense, he is a villain! I disdain to be associated with you, but today's matter will never be settled like this, just wait!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Chu Sui's conscience relaxed and he said: "I don't want to argue with a treacherous person like you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fang Jun was stunned, are you two old scoundrels done now?
No blood has been seen yet...
Seeing that Xu Jingzong had already walked to the door, and calculating his steps as he just stepped across the threshold, Fang Jun shouted from behind: "Where does Mr. Xu want to go?"
Xu Jingzong replied: "I don't want to associate with those old men!"
As he spoke, his feet stepped out of the threshold.
Fang Jun then said quietly: "I'm still planning to return the money Master Xu advanced to you last time. In that case... let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xu Jingzong suddenly froze.
Why didn't you tell me to pay back the money earlier?
But at this time, all the scribes in the lobby were looking at me, and my words were very impressive. Should I go back at this time?
One hundred strings is of course very important. Don’t come back and you won’t be able to sleep and eat well, but face is also very important! Although he can lose his face in front of Fang Jun, if the scribes under him give him the impression of "having no shame for asking for money", then he will not be able to get along in the academy in the future. There are a lot of them. I missed them today. I don’t know when this stick will be available next time...
He weighed the left and right in his mind and was in a dilemma. Chu Suiliang happened to come out of the door, sneered and said: "Shameless stingy, shallow virtue, this person can live in an academy, he is the laughingstock of the world!"
He raised his head and passed by Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong was immediately furious: "I just don't want to be associated with you. Since you are gone, I will naturally take care of the affairs of the School of Cooking!"
With that said, he turned around and came back...
Many scribes in the lobby were speechless.
This man... is really indescribable.
Xu Jingzong found the steps for himself. No matter what others thought, he still spoke plausibly when he walked towards Fang Jun: "Such a sinister man is not worthy of being called the Academy Secretary. His majesty must have been deceived by his clever words and deeds. I will write it later." A memorial to impeach this shameless person!"
The scribes were silent, okay, you are thick-skinned, no matter what...
Fang Jun was also in a daze. This person is really weird. He is back now?
Xu Jingzong sat down under Fang Jun and said with a smile: "What the hell, Erlang said just now..."
Fang Jun raised his hand, interrupted him, and said: "Master Xu is back just now, and I want to talk to you about the opening ceremony. According to my opinion, let's not make the opening ceremony too grand. , it is enough to invite Your Majesty to come over and deliver a lecture to inspire the students of the academy to make progress. However, after the start of the school year, I thought it was not appropriate to teach immediately, but should conduct military training for a period of time, so that these students can calm down and show their talents. What do you think of the academy's purpose of promoting both civil and military affairs and cultivating both internal and external affairs?"
Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, please give me a lecture. This is a necessary step. As for the so-called military training... Oh, no, didn't Erlang just say that he would pay me back the money?"
Fang Jun waved his hand and said displeasedly: "Money is a trivial matter. Your Majesty has entrusted the academy to our hands. We should devote ourselves to it with all our heart and soul. How can we miss your Majesty's important matter for such external things as money? We will talk about repaying the money tomorrow." , today we have to finalize the rules for the start of school."
Xu Jingzong was speechless.
One hundred strings, why is it such a small thing?
This stick has repeatedly prevaricated, and it is clear that he sincerely wants to take advantage of me. He is so rich and powerful, and he is so greedy. He is really unworthy of a human being...
However, Fang Jun's topic was so high-minded that no one dared to refute it. They could only say: "What does Erlang mean by military training?"
Fang Jun drank tea and said: "After school starts, outstanding officers will be selected from the army, students will be divided into classes according to disciplines and ages, and they will be led by officers. They will undergo the most formal training in the army every day. In this way, students will be able to hone their skills. The will of the students, the physical fitness of the students, the horizons of the students are expanded, and the courage of the students is cultivated! The purpose of our establishment of the academy is to cultivate talents for the Tang Dynasty. These talents are not just scholars who only know how to study but have no power to tie a chicken. It is the talent of the prime minister and auxiliary who can stabilize the world when he mounts his horse, and can bring peace to all the people when he mounts his horse!"
Xu Jingzong deeply agreed with these words.
"Zhou Li·Bao Shi" says: "To raise a country's sons with the Tao is to teach six skills: the first is the Five Rites, the second is the Six Music, the third is the Five Shooting, the fourth is the Five Controls, the fifth is the Six Books, and the sixth is the Nine Numbers. .”
Among them, shooting and guarding are to cultivate scholars to strengthen their bodies and possess martial arts.
This is an elite education system that has been continued since the Zhou Dynasty. Scholars in ancient times are no better than this.
The Tang Dynasty established the country with force. At the beginning, no matter whether it was the Guanlong nobles, the Shandong aristocratic families, or the Jiangnan gentry, they were born in troubled times and lived in the wilderness. The children of the clan were all capable of both civil and military skills. Therefore, the prime ministers and ministers of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties , not only have outstanding literary talents in penetrating the Five Classics, but they are all generals who can kill the enemy with a sword.
However, the world has not been at peace for a long time. In just twenty years, the children of the aristocratic family have gradually deteriorated. Although the direct children are still practicing both civil and military arts, more children from the side branches have gradually given up on martial arts and turned their attention to the development of scholars, because The ordinary military merits no longer fall on them. Instead of going out with the army and losing their lives but not getting any military merits, it is better to study hard and at least rely on family resources to work as an official and half-time official, so that they can achieve something and govern a party.
"Zhenguan Academy" contains His Majesty's ardent hope, and is actually destined to become the cradle of future imperial officials. It must not just blindly focus on the indoctrination and education of various subjects, but ignore the cultivation of physical weakness and abandon the "Tang Dynasty" tradition. The foundation of establishing a country by force.
Although Xu Jingzong was greedy for money and stingy, and although he had a thick face and a dark heart, he still had some insight. He nodded and agreed: "I deeply agree with Erlang's plan, but I still need to ask His Majesty for permission. We cannot make arbitrary claims and beware of villains. .”
In many things, good intentions may not necessarily do good things, and good deeds may not necessarily lead to good rewards.
Being cautious in words and deeds is the eternal correctness in officialdom.
In this regard, the stick in front of me is far worse than myself...
