People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1094

Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei left Jingyang at noon today, and went to Chang'an to meet Kong Yingda."

Li Shimin took another sip of tea and said, "Really?"

Wang Ding said again: "After a long conversation between His Royal Highness King Wei and Old Master Kong Yingda, this memorial came out."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "So, this matter has something to do with Qingque?"

Wang Ding said again: "It is said that His Royal Highness King Wei has been looking for a master for Jingyang Academy recently."

Li Shimin said displeased: "He already has Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng, Chu Suiliang, Yan Liben in Jingyang, who else does he want!"

Wang Ding bowed his head and stepped aside.

Li Shimin put Kong Yingda's memorial aside and ignored it, continuing to look at the science book in his hand.

The next day, when Li Zheng got up early, the villain Li Shimin came again.

Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin who was eating breakfast and said, "Your Majesty, next time, should I prepare bowls and chopsticks for Your Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Alright."

"..."

Li Zheng took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun hard, and said to himself, let me just say it politely, you, Li Shimin, are still sticking your nose and face, planning to come over to eat every day?

Li Zhi and Xiao Sizi went to class early, and Li Lizhi took people to attend to their own affairs.

There was no one else at the dinner table.

After he was full, Li Shimin wiped his mouth and said, "I heard that your academy lacks masters?"

The maid on the side cleaned up the dishes.

Li Zheng poured himself a glass of boiled water and drank it without a sip.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't answer, Li Shimin said: "I know that you are somewhat unhappy with me, but I hope that you and my ministers can be more frank."

Li Zheng sneered and said, "Be honest with Your Majesty? I might as well talk to a cow."

Li Shimin said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Li Zheng said: "I mean to tell His Majesty frankly, it is useless to say that I am frank? Has Your Majesty been frank with me?"

The tone of the conversation between the Weng son-in-law and the monarch and his ministers was not right, and the maid on the side was also careful when cleaning up the dishes, not daring to make a sound.

Li Shimin said again: "Even though I am the majesty of Tang Dynasty, I am still Lizhi's father, and I am your elder."

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Li Zheng said: "Do you think I can't see a dignified elder making small moves behind my junior's back? If you want me to be honest, are you qualified to say that?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin immediately stood up and glared at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng also looked around.

Seeing what Li Zheng seemed to be looking for, Li Shimin asked, "What are you looking for?"

Li Zheng continued to look around and said, "I'm looking for a guy. If I want to fight with His Majesty, I also need a weapon."

Li Shimin said coldly: "There are some things I have to say."

Li Zheng also said to Li Shimin: "Some things are also forced by His Majesty."

Li Shimin pointed at Li Zhengyi and didn't know what to say for a while, trembling with anger, "You really..."

Holding the fan in his hand, Li Zheng said, "What's wrong with me?"

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and what is in front of it is like a stubborn stone.

If others would have knelt down in front of me, only Li Zheng is still standing up straight now, and even challenged him.

Li Shimin said: "If anyone dares to talk to me like that, his head has already fallen to the ground."

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "Before my head falls to the ground, I want to see if Chang'an City will be razed to the ground overnight!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Zheng sneered, "You were the one who threatened me first."

Razing Chang'an City to the ground overnight is nothing short of idiotic for others, but for Li Zheng, he might really be able to do such a thing.

Li Shimin sat down again to calm himself down.

Li Zheng waved his fan calmly.

After being quiet for a while, Li Shimin said, "What are you going to do to Kong Yingda?"

Li Zheng said: "The king of Wei is now the head of the academy. Now the academy lacks masters. If Kong Yingda can enter Jingyang Academy, it will be useful for the academy's plan to recruit masters, but I don't like the style of those Confucian students."

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "Then what do you want Kong Yingda for?"

Li Zheng went on to say: "First of all, I don't like Confucian students, but I don't hate Kong Yingda. Secondly, Kong Yingda's being able to enter the academy is not a burden or dislike to me. Furthermore, it is a fact that the academy lacks masters. I prefer the academy to cultivate by itself. Those who come out, but I choose from outsiders, I don’t look at their seniority, I only look at their own unique skills.”

"A unique skill?"

Li Zheng said: "Everyone has their own strengths. What if you can find a treasure? For example, the Liu family in Hedong is good."

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng and said, "What you want Kong Yingda is not Confucianism, you just want Kong Yingda's reputation."

Li Zheng said disapprovingly: "It's not all like this. Cheng Chumo married Kong Yingda's daughter. Kong Yingda is Cheng Chumo's father-in-law. It's okay to take care of her. Besides, how old is Kong Yingda? He's already over sixty. Your Majesty can't squeeze people out. die."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I didn't oppress him."

Changing his sitting position, Li Zheng said, "Your Majesty asked Kong Yingda to retire for the elderly. This is a harmony between the monarch and his ministers. It is not a bad thing for His Majesty."

Li Shimin said: "Kong Yingda can leave the Imperial College and let him retire, or even let him come to Jingyang, but I have one condition."

Li Zheng shook his fan and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said: "After Kong Yingda retires, he can retire in Jingyang, but he cannot hold any position in Jingyang Academy, let alone teach in Jingyang Academy. To the outside world, he only cares for the elderly."

Let Kong Yingda leave the Imperial College to retire and cannot teach elsewhere.

Isn't this a non-compete agreement?
Didn't expect the ancients would already know how to do this?

Li Zheng said: "This condition can be fulfilled. I also have a condition. After Kong Yingda retires, His Majesty grants him a county magistrate, and retains the position of Guozijian offering wine. This position must always be vacant before Kong Yingda passes away."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

The conversation between the monarch and his ministers after breakfast determined Kong Yingda's retirement life in his later years.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin approved Kong Yingda's retirement memorial, and asked Kong Yingda to come to Jingyang to escape the summer heat.

Li Shimin not only made Kong Yingda old, but also conferred the titles of Shanghujun and county magistrate, and Lingyan Pavilion gave him a statue, Kong Yingda in his later years can still be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion.

There is a scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers in the court.

Kong Yingda passed away smoothly.

Li Shimin is also the beauty of adults, and has also received a lot of praise from Confucian students.

That night, Li Tai personally went to pick Kong Yingda to Jingyang.
