"well……"
Master Qin nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Tai looked at Qin Ningning at this time and said: "Miss Qin, please follow me!"
When it comes to some matters in the court, especially when a private master writes to the prince, without instructions, avoidance is the wisest choice.
Qin Ningning nodded lightly and followed Zhao Tai out of the lobby.
And closed the door.
in the room.
Lin Yi and Master Qin sat opposite each other. The rising heat of the tea reflected Master Qin's anxious and excited heart.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Master Qin had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know how to say them.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Master Qin, don't be nervous. I could tell at the Soldiers' Cemetery that day that you had a lot to say."
"But the situation didn't allow you and me to talk in depth at that time, so here I am!"
Master Qin said with emotion: "Having His Highness the Crown Prince in Dayan is a blessing to all the people!"
"Actually, what the old man is about to say will indeed offend people, especially the nobles of the imperial court..."
"But the old man has been teaching and educating people for so many years. He has thousands of students, but only a handful of them really stand out!"
"To be honest with you, your highness, the prince, some of the old man's successful students changed their lives because of you, your highness..."
"Ahem~"
Master Qin coughed violently.
'I'll have to ask people from the Tai Hospital to come over and take a look at Master Qin...' Lin Yi made a note of this in his mind.
Master Qin is quite ill.
In this case, he should choose to take care of his body instead of struggling on the front line of education.
Lin Yi looked at Master Qin and said, "Master Qin, are you talking about Changsun Ce? He is indeed a talented person."
Master Qin smiled and said, "He wrote to the old man and told the old man that he had left the Imperial Academy and went to work for you, the Crown Prince."
"Although the old man doesn't know what he is doing for His Royal Highness, it can be seen that he is very happy and excited."
"The old man's greatest happiness now is to see those students who work hard and achieve something with their own efforts..."
At this point, Master Qin paused for a moment, and with a strong sense of unwillingness in his emotions, he said seriously: "But now, no matter how hard you try, you will never get the rewards you deserve."
"They had the ambition to reach the top, but fate and the current situation of the Dayan court made them breathless."
"The common people... facing some literary monks and corrupt officials are like two huge mountains, crushing them to the point where they can't breathe."
"The life of ordinary people is too difficult. They can no longer see the future, and studying... is no longer a way out. On the contrary, they who are outstanding lose because they have no literary heart and are born in poor families. They doubt the meaning of studying again and again!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Master Qin stared at Lin Yi with burning eyes and said: "The old man begs His Majesty the Crown Prince to give... the poor people in the world a chance to get ahead!"
Thump!
He knelt down in front of Lin Yi very quickly, dropped his crutches, and grabbed the ground with his head.
"Master Qin!"
Lin Yi did not use Haoran's righteousness and stepped forward to help him: "What are you doing?"
"If you have any needs, you can feel free to put them forward. How can I not adopt anything that is beneficial to the people of the country?"
"I came here to visit the old gentleman today because I wanted to hear your voice, the voice of the folk scholars, rather than a private visit for you to come and visit!"
"Dayan needs national warriors like you!"
"Dayan is lucky to have you!"
Lin Yi was sincere and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
It is rare in the whole Dayan for a master to achieve Master Qin's level.
Even the academies of literary monks could not match Master Qin's dedication to cultivating and educating outstanding people.
Master Qin was always in tears.
A life of misery, fighting against fate, and ultimately failure.
He hated this hellish world.
But in the end, it was the people at the bottom of the world who cured him. There were thousands of people who suffered just like him.
So he decided to change.
If you don't have a chance, give it to others.
He came to train these young people, to pave the way for them, to seek a way to change their destiny upwards.
But the road... has been blocked by those nobles and wealthy families.
The passage for ordinary people to ascend is locked.
Effort doesn't mean much anymore.
Master Qin calmed down and said seriously: "Your Highness, Dayan has no way for ordinary people to rise."
"All roads have been controlled by nobles and children of wealthy families."
"If those nobles and children of wealthy families are talented, knowledgeable, capable, and rely on their strength to control their positions, then there is nothing wrong with them."
"But the old man knows that they don't deserve it!"
"The roads that allow civilian scholars to change their destiny have already been filled with children from rich and famous families. They don't need to take exams or put in any effort. They will sit in that position as soon as they reach adulthood and be splendid."
"His Royal Highness, do you know that all the officials in Yongfeng County like me and the positions in the departments and bureaus directly under the Dayan Ministry of Industry are divided among seventeen families. Ordinary people... no matter how talented they are, they will always put down their pens. Go build rivers, move sediment, build roads and bridges, do the hardest and most tiring work, and get the least wages..."
"They should not have such a fate. The Dayan court should give them a fair chance to compete!"
"I don't have enough ability to eat this bowl of rice, so I admit it..."
"Ahem! Ahem..."
Master Qin finished speaking these words in one breath and coughed even harder.
Lin Yi quickly tried to tap into a weak ray of awe-inspiring righteousness, but unexpectedly, it miraculously alleviated Master Qin's condition.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he thought about Master Qin's words.
He understood.
The Dayan court gave ordinary people the opportunity to change their destiny. As long as they study hard, everyone has the opportunity to obtain the iron rice bowl of the court.
In modern terms, they are public institutions and state-owned enterprises.
But that's the situation now.
The opportunity for civilian scholars is gone, because those positions have already been divided up and occupied by the children of powerful families.
From the moment they are born, no matter how hard they try, ordinary people will always be tossed up and down in that cage.
For a few taels of silver, for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, I lived in the most humble way...
Lin Yi's expression became serious.
This problem is very serious, and it can be said that it is closely related to the national destiny of the Dayan court.
But this kind of bureau, which does not go to the imperial court and is directly under the six ministries of the imperial court, is responsible for recruitment matters...
My father would not pay attention at all, and no one would report it.
Because this is something agreed by their distinguished family, and it is an exchange of interests.
"Master Qin, are you serious about this?" Lin Yi said seriously.
"Your Highness, every word of it is true. Thousands of old men's students, as well as civilian scholars from all over Dayan... are suffering from it. They have no hope in life. Half their lives have been wasted, and their ambitions have turned into regrets!"
Master Qin looked at Prince Lin Yi with a pleading look, and said, "How dare the old man speak nonsense about Sheji's affairs?"
