"What?"
Chen Xuan was shocked, "Everyone in Xiping Village can read poetry?"
"Aren't they a small, backward village?"
"Could everyone be literate?"
"That's not true."
Yingyi said: "These words were posted in the cafeteria. Zhao Ping asked everyone to memorize them."
"A dedicated gentleman will explain other meanings to them."
"But there is a school in Xiping Village and we are working on eliminating illiteracy."
"It is estimated that within a year or two, we will almost reach the point where everyone can read and write."
"What?"
Chen Xuan was shocked again, "Xiping Village actually has a school?"
"yes."
Ying Yi said disapprovingly: "Is there anything strange about this?"
"The gentleman who teaches is still His Majesty's teacher."
"It's the former Crown Prince and Tutor Li Heran, Mr. Li, who is unwilling to serve as an official in the court."
"What?"
Chen Xuan's jaw was almost dropped in shock.
That's Li Heran.
A very famous scholar in the Dawei Dynasty.
As an emperor, he promised him a high position and even gave him a title, but he failed to keep him in the capital.
It's good now that he has been absorbed into a small run-down village in Xiping Village.
Is Xiping Village better than the Imperial Palace?
Chen Xuan looked at Zhao Ping.
This guy is called the Immortal Lord of Penglai, is he really not a mortal?
Zhao Ping also figured out an idea.
In other words, I have a certain understanding of His Majesty today.
It's an old silver coin.
But he was also an upright emperor.
He is also trying every means to change the current situation of the Dawei Dynasty.
However, the ability is limited.
In other words, there are some shortcomings, resulting in no progress after so many years.
Of course, the most important thing is His Majesty's mind.
As vast as the ocean.
When Li Hu pointed at his nose and yelled at him, he did not chop off Li Hu's head immediately. Instead, he humbly asked for advice and begged Li Hu to help him make suggestions.
Don't think about it in the long run.
After all, throughout ancient history, there are many people who killed their donkeys.
But at least His Majesty will not kill them now.
Instead, they will be reused.
My life was saved.
In this way, Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and barely felt at ease.
Facing Chen Xuan's gaze, Zhao Ping spoke.
"Mr. Li does teach in Xiping Village, but it's not because I promised him any high-ranking official or generous salary."
"But Mr. Li is kind-hearted and cannot see that the people are illiterate, so he goes out of his way to improve the knowledge and cultural level of the people."
Forehead?
Is this really the case?
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
If Li Heran really had such a big heart, why didn't he become a teacher in Chang'an?
In that case, wouldn’t there be more people taught?
Why hide in Xiping Village?
He was full of nonsense.
From this, Chen Xuan also labeled Zhao Ping as a glib person.
But you still have to ask for advice.
Chen Xuan raised his hands to Zhao Ping and said: "It turns out that Mr. Zhao is the counselor. I dare to ask, sir, how can the Dawei Dynasty break the situation now?"
"Your Majesty, don't you have a conclusion?"
Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
"If I really had a conclusion, I wouldn't ask sir for advice."
Chen Xuan said bitterly.
"Then why did you send troops?"
"Suppress bandits."
"Since we are suppressing bandits, why not go there in person? Instead, we sent a eunuch to supervise the army."
"I'm afraid of death."
Chen Xuan said with a dark face.
He also glared at Ying Yi secretly.
This girl's film must have leaked Li Yan's whereabouts.
I just don’t know if Chen Tongde got the news.
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while.
He said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it's pointless for you to prevaricate like this."
"I didn't tell you any plans. Even if I want to help you, I can't do anything."
"oh?"
Chen Xuan said unexpectedly: "What plans do I have? Please tell me."
"You're right. Not only will I tell you everything, but I will also reward you heavily."
"I don't want any reward."
Zhao Ping said.
"Don't want a reward?"
Chen Xuan sneered: "Is it possible that you don't want to be an official?"
"Oh, I probably don't want to."
Chen Xuan thought of something and denied it before Zhao Ping could answer.
"If you want to be an official, whether you are brewing acacia wine, making frosting sugar, soap or other strange things, you can find an official position in Chang'an."
"And you have excellent medical skills and can conquer the plague. It will not be a problem to become an imperial physician."
"Furthermore, your literary talent is outstanding, and no one can match your song "About to Enter the Wine"."
"These can help you enter an official career, but they are useless to you. It shows that you don't like being an official. Just like my master Mr. Li, it seems that this cannot satisfy you."
"What about Po Nu Fei?"
"There are also coal mines, military power, titles, etc."
"As long as you answer appropriately, I won't care about you occupying my slave concubine, and I will even personally marry you two."
"In addition, Mr. will have priority in mining all minerals in Qingzhou."
"As for military power and title, it depends on your performance later."
"how?"
"Are you willing to answer my questions honestly?"
Gudong!
Zhao Ping began to swallow without concealment.
This majesty is simply a roundworm in his stomach. Whatever he wants, he will say it, exactly.
At the same time, I was also somewhat impressed.
As expected of an old silver coin, his understanding of human nature is comprehensive.
It's just such a sinister person, and he also holds the highest power in the Dawei Dynasty, but he can't change anything. Can he really do it?
Zhao Ping also fell into self-doubt.
Seeing that Zhao Ping only swallowed his saliva and did not answer, Chen Xuan thought that the other party was unwilling, so he continued to increase his chips.
"Are you worried that I will kill you after I stabilize the Dawei Dynasty?"
"You can rest assured, I am definitely not that kind of ungrateful person."
"You have Shang Fang's sword in your hand. If I really did something like that, you can definitely wake me up with Shang Fang's sword."
"In addition, I will give you a few more death-free gold medals."
"Even if you commit the crime of treason, I can't kill you. Are you willing to say it now?"
Ying Yi was greedy.
Seeing that Zhao Ping was still hesitating, he couldn't help but urge: "Zhao Ping, what are you still hesitating about?"
"Your Majesty has shown you a great favor. Even if you commit a heinous crime, you will not be sentenced to death."
"Why don't you quickly thank His Majesty for your kindness and answer His Majesty's questions honestly?"
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."
Only then did Zhao Ping come to his senses and bowed to salute.
It’s a sincere thank you.
Putting aside the fact that Your Majesty is an old silver coin, if the rewards he mentioned can really be fulfilled.
Zhao Ping will no longer have to worry about being beheaded.
It's simply not too practical.
However, Chen Xuan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhao, don't thank me in a hurry."
"What I said all depends on your performance."
"The strategies you come up with can help me stabilize the Wei Dynasty, and I will fulfill them."
"learn."
Zhao Ping smiled and said: "Then let's talk about His Majesty's layout first."
"This personal expedition to suppress bandits has two purposes."
"The first is to fish out people who have two minds in the court."
"Wait a moment, Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment. How do you know that someone in the court has a second heart?"
Chen Xuan stopped Zhao Ping and asked.
"This is simple."
Zhao Ping said: "Mengru is His Majesty's favorite woman. The Flying Eagle Army she formed is also the most capable military unit in the Dawei Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invincible in every battle and invincible in every attack."
"With this kind of troops, even if they are defeated, Your Majesty will never be willing to kill one of them."
"But what's the result?"
"When the Flying Eagle Army returned to the capital to seek help, they were brutally attacked and no one survived."
"It must be those people in the court who have two minds."
"It seems that my slave concubine trusts you very much, even telling you such confidential things."
Chen Xuan sighed, slightly bitterly, and asked Zhao Ping to continue.
"Second, it arouses Chen Tong's desire to rebel and stabilizes the Dawei Dynasty."
Zhao Ping said again.
"Chen Tong is the younger brother of my compatriot, how could he have the intention to rebel? How could I kill him?"
Chen Xuan shook his head and retorted.
"hehe."
Zhao Ping sneered and asked: "Is this really the case?"
Without waiting for Chen Xuan to retort, Zhao Ping continued: "If this is really the case, why doesn't Your Majesty conduct the expedition himself?"
"If he has no intention of treason, wouldn't it be faster if His Majesty personally goes out to fight, joins Chen Tong in Yuzhou, and gathers all the troops to suppress the bandits together?"
"Wouldn't it be better if the bandits are suppressed as soon as possible and the people can enjoy a stable life as soon as possible?"
"But His Majesty did not do that."
"You are worried that in the past, you were brutally murdered by Chen Tong. Once you die, the Wei Dynasty will definitely fall apart."
"So you sent a eunuch to supervise the army."
"Of course, it's also your kindness."
"By asking Chen Tong to see that the situation is not good and give up the idea of rebellion, you are giving him a chance."
"I, you, I..."
Chen Xuan was shocked and speechless.
He did have this thought. After all, Chen Tong was his biological brother. If he was killed, how would he meet his parents after his death?
But if we don't kill him, how can he be worthy of the people of Yuzhou?
That's why Chen Xuan came up with such a plan and asked Li Yan to go and test it out, hoping that Chen Tong could see his painstaking efforts, change his ways, and become the emperor's younger brother honestly.
He had only mentioned this to Li Yan.
It was just a vague mention, and it was unclear whether Li Yan could guess it.
And what about Zhao Ping?
He just told it all, as if he was a participant.
Chen Xuan had to admire him.
It also made Chen Xuan's eyes brighter and brighter.
With such resourcefulness, if he assists him, he might be able to reverse the situation of the Dawei Dynasty and restore it to its former prosperity in his lifetime.
Chen Xuan was vaguely looking forward to it.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mind, and continued to ask: "Mr. Zhao, your guess is absolutely correct, and I am deeply impressed."
"Now can we talk about how the current Dawei Dynasty can break the situation?"
