The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1350 Su Dingfang Visits

A servant from outside came over with tea, Chang Le opened the door of the study and asked the servant to bring the tea in.

Su Dingfang sat across from Xuan Shijing, but he didn't directly say the purpose of the trip, he exchanged a few words with Xuan Shijing, and talked about some recent attendants in the hall.

The servant brought the tea, put the tea in front of Su Dingfang and Xuan Shijing, and then exited the study. Su Dingfang drank the tea before talking about business.

"I heard that Duke Xuan went to find the Prince of Hejian, and he wants the Prince to teach at the academy in your village?" Su Dingfang asked.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, yes, anyway, the king of Hejian is idle now, I heard that since the new year, the king of the county has not gone to court, and has been at home 'training'."

"The king is in poor health." Su Dingfang said, "How did you convince the king of Hejian?"

Xuan Shijing smiled, and responded: "It's simple. If you can live well, who wants to waste your life? It's only been a few years since this flowery and prosperous world? Who dares to say that he has enjoyed enough? It doesn't matter if the king of the county is not in good health. There is a famous doctor in Zhuangzi, and Daoist Sun Simiao will also enter the academy and teach in the medical school. If the king of the county can come to the military academy to teach students, his body will be recuperated by Daoist Sun. Moon, as convenient as possible."

"Xuan Gong really visited a lot of people in the name of Sun Daochang, right? The more people reach a certain position, the more they enjoy the present, the more they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and Sun Daochang is a piece of money in your village. It's a signboard." Su Dingfang said with a smile.

"This is true." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Besides, it is not a bad thing to come to Zhuangzi to teach. It takes ten years to cultivate people and a hundred years to cultivate people, and it will last forever. To put it bluntly, it is better than It’s better to wait for death at home.”

Just like Wei Zheng, after the new year, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, the pillars of the Wei family fell down, and there were four sons left, a married girl, the eldest son and the second son were barely promising, but they didn't reach the height of their father , As for the other two sons, they are all gone.

"You really are, as long as there is room for others to squeeze you, you are not polite at all." Su Dingfang laughed.

"How can it be oppression? This is a matter of mutual benefit. Can teaching be called oppression?" Xuan Shijing looked at Su Dingfang and said: "Master Su came to my house this time, not just To care about the affairs of the academy?"

Su Dingfang pointed at Xuan Shijing, smiled and shook his head: "You, you really have the ability to drag the King of Hejian to your Zhuangzi. Indeed, I really have something to do with your academy when I come back. Is the academy you go to in Zhuangzi really going to let the King of Hejian teach those children the art of war? Art of war is a secret that cannot be passed on."

"The secret of not passing it on? Why are you holding on to it? It's fine not to pass it on to those wolfish and ambitious foreigners. Why, even your own people have to guard against it? How many good things are broken because of the result of not passing it on? Inherited."

"However, the matter of the military academy seems mysterious to me. Now it has been spread among the honorable and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City. It is estimated that as long as someone takes the lead tomorrow, the impeachment papers of your impeachment will be able to put your majesty's case in writing." Even so, you still want to build a military academy?" Su Dingfang asked.

"Build! Why not build! The world is peaceful now? Even if the Tang Dynasty is now stable, no one dares to bully, what about in the future? Lu Guogong and the others are the generation, the old generation, and I can barely make it up. Elder brother, Master Su and you are counted as a generation, and looking back? The pillars of the imperial court cannot only be excavated from aristocratic families and the people, we must also learn to cultivate talents by ourselves, what is it to hide?" Xuan Shijing said .

Su Dingfang was also deeply touched by Xuan Shijing's words, because Su Dingfang had an apprentice, and he came to Xuan Shijing today, in fact, for his apprentice.

His apprentice's name is Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian worshiped under Su Dingfang's sect. Speaking of which, he didn't have to come to the military academy in Zhuangzi to join in the fun, but Su Dingfang had already taught everything he could teach. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in peace and there is no war, even if Pei Xingjian is in the army, he can't help himself. Leading the soldiers to drill, there is nothing else to do, but in terms of soldier drills, Su Dingfang felt that in the entire Tang Dynasty, Xuan Shijing dared to be the second, and no one dared to be the first.
Moreover, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, also promised Xuan Shijing to go to the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County to take charge of the Military Academy.

Su Dingfang came for the two of them. Su Dingfang is now an apprentice like Pei Xingjian, so he naturally has to do his best. Since Xuan Shijing doesn't intend to hide his personal interests, Su Dingfang also wants to find a way out for Pei Xingjian.

But he heard that there is an age limit for recruiting students in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County, and Pei Xingjian has already passed that age.

Pei Xingjian is a few years older than Xuan Shijing. He has been learning the art of war with Su Dingfang before Su Dingfang. When Su Dingfang attacked Baekje last year, he followed Su Dingfang in the army for a while. After returning, he hung a Laid off, dawdling in the army.

It's the same as living in the army, and it's the same when you come to Zhuangzi's academy, and you can learn something more.

Moreover, Su Dingfang is also very optimistic about Xuan Shijing's future, and being able to lead his apprentice to Xuan Shijing's line will be very beneficial to Pei Xingjian's future future.

Although Xuan Shijing's age is younger than Pei Xingjian, but now Xuan Shijing's status is much higher than Pei Xingjian's.

There is a saying that being a teacher for one day is a father for life. Su Dingfang is Pei Xingjian's master, and he also treats Pei Xingjian as half his son. Now that Pei Xingjian is in the army, he, as a master, naturally wants to seek advice for his apprentice. a way out.

As for the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, although it is building a school and house in a mighty way, its scale has not yet formed. No one knows how the academy will shine after it forms a large scale. For now, Su Dingfang already knows Yes, the people who will come to Dongshan County Academy to teach are all big shots, whether it is now or in the past.

"So, as long as he can enter the academy, Duke Xuan will not hide his secrets from the students?" Su Dingfang asked.

"If you can teach, you should try your best to teach." Xuan Shijing said: "If you are not in an important position, Mr. Su, I really want to dig you, Mr. Su, into the academy on Zhuangzi."

Su Dingfang was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled, and said: "When I can't stay in the court any longer, or when I get old and want to take care of myself, I hope you don't dislike Xuangong."
