The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 401 Untitled
Is Gewu College important?People who don't know the inside story dismiss it, and those who know the inside story have already raised its importance to the highest level.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou were so anxious to separate Gewu Class and Zixiao Temple because they realized its importance and didn't want it to have too much Taoism.

Cheng Yaojin was a man of eighteen minds, and when he learned that Cheng Huailiang had become the principal of Gewu College, he was very happy and immediately held a banquet and invited all his old friends to celebrate at home.

Of course, he didn't directly say what it was, he just said that he was happy and wanted to get together with his brothers. .
Although the people didn't believe it, they couldn't ask any further questions when they saw that he refused to speak.

After Li Shimin learned of this, he did not object.

After all, Cheng Huailiang was also his son-in-law, so there was really nothing to say.

That is, he habitually questioned: "Let Cheng Huailiang be the principal of the court, this kind of thing is only what you can think of."

Chen Jingke spread his hands and said: "Gewu is a new discipline, and it needs a group of people who understand this discipline to take the helm."

"Although Cheng Laoer has no talent for learning Gewu, he has at least studied with Gewu class for a period of time and is quite interested in this aspect."

"The ability is also relatively outstanding, and it is your son-in-law. I think it is quite appropriate for him to be the court administrator."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Let him try it first, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to change."

He didn't ask why Chen Jingke didn't become the director of the courtyard himself, there was no need, and this one was not that material.

This is actually an agreement, and Chen Jingke turned to say: "The academy doesn't have a name yet, why don't you choose one?"

Li Shimin did not refuse, and thought for a while and said: "The Tao Te Ching says that it is mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. You said that Gewuxue is the exhaustion of the principles of all things for people to use, so it is called Qiuxuan Academy."

Although the name didn't sound loud and domineering enough, Chen Jingke liked it very much and said, "Your Majesty is wise, the name you choose is extraordinary, and it is called Qiuxuan Academy."

Li Shimin pretended not to hear his clumsy flattery, picked up a pen and wrote the words Qiuxuan Academy in Feibai.

He took out his lianzhu badge and stamped it on, saying: "Okay, take it."

The Lianzhu badge is his private seal. There are two pieces in total, with the words "Zhen" and "Guan" written on them respectively.

Because the combination of two seals is a complete seal, it is also called Lianzhu stamp.

The emperor also had personal hobbies, and he couldn't take out the jade seal to stamp everything.

For example, he sees calligraphy and paintings he likes, inscriptions on people, etc., and wants to leave his own seal on them, what should he do?

At this time, a private seal is required.

It is worth mentioning that Li Shimin was the creator of the emperor's private seal, and subsequent emperors of all dynasties would follow his example and engrave their own private seals.

Generally, the emperor's private seal is only about an inch, very small.

When stamping on favorite calligraphy and painting, they will also be stamped on the corners, so as not to damage the overall effect of calligraphy and painting.

But there are always exceptions. For example, a famous Shiquan old man has a lot of private seals, the largest of which is four to five centimeters.

When encountering famous calligraphy and painting, whether you like it or not, you have to stamp your own seal on it, wherever it is conspicuous, regardless of whether it will affect the effect of calligraphy and painting.

Sometimes even smeared on those calligraphy and paintings to leave their own marks.

Other emperors left their seals on calligraphy and painting, which can increase the value of calligraphy and painting. After all, this is something that emperors like.

However, the calligraphy and paintings that the old man Shiquan has handled tend to depreciate in value.Because he scribbled and scribbled, he reduced the artistry of these calligraphy and paintings.

Chen Jingke took the paper and looked at it, and praised: "Good writing, the sage's Feibai style can be said to be the best in the world."

Li Shimin was very proud, and said modestly: "It's passed, but it's true that it's better than ordinary people."

It's not just bragging, Li Shimin's Feibai style is really good, and few can match it.

And Feibai is the most suitable for writing plaques and the like. Even if he didn't take the initiative to write, Chen Jingke would let him write.

But how could he be satisfied with a plaque, and said: "Since it has been written, why not write a few more, and the couplet in front of the door, the school motto and so on have also been written."

Li Shimin asked curiously: "What is the school motto?"

Chen Jingke said: "It is the school-running philosophy of Qiuxuan Academy, and the goal it wants to pursue."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, tell me what you want to use as the school motto."

Chen Jingke said: "The school motto is based on a sentence in the Book of Changes: Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries virtue."

Li Shimin praised: "This is a good sentence. I hope that the students in the academy can use this as a standard for themselves."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote down the sentence.

Chen Jingke continued: "The couplet at the gate is used: the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of reading; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and care about everything."

Hearing this couplet, Li Shimin frowned slightly and said: "Students in the academy should study hard, how can they study well if they worry about so many external things?"

Chen Jingke knew why he was like this. The emperor didn't like scholars to point fingers, and Li Shimin was no exception.

So he explained: "Practice what you have learned. If they don't care about major affairs in the world, how can they know what people in the world need? How can they research inventions that are beneficial to the country and the people?"

"Besides, Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation, family governance, state governance and world peace. This couplet is just an interpretation of this sentence."

Li Shimin was finally persuaded. It is the consensus of the ruling class that chivalry uses martial arts to break the ban, and Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law.

Scholars always like to point fingers, whether there is this couplet does not matter, it is better to write it out.

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and wrote the couplet.

Later, at the request of Chen Jingke, he wrote "Four Sentences of Hengqu" and wrote a few couplets and slogans before finishing.

Rolling up these words and putting them aside, Chen Jingke finally got down to business and said, "How do you think about the railway?"

Li Shimin said: "It's not that it can't be repaired, it's just that the imperial court can't take out so much iron at one time, it needs to be distributed in batches."

Chen Jingke said happily: "It's not that easy to build a train, and it takes time to cast and lay the rails. It would be great if this railway can be repaired by the end of the year."

"In this way... How about dividing it into ten months, and giving one-tenth of each month?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, is there any other request?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, transfer a few tons of refined iron from Zhuyazhou to us, some precision parts need refined iron."

Li Shimin said: "Yes, the output of Shilu Iron Mine can be doubled several times this year, and part of it can be transferred to you. Is there any more?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, we are going to launch a poverty alleviation plan..."

He talked about the planned work-for-relief to help the people in the slums.

Good people and good deeds can't be done casually, especially if they help a large number of poor people, it might be a crime of inviting people's hearts to plot wrongdoing.

It is necessary to greet the court in advance.

Li Shimin naturally trusted him very much, so he said: "You have a good idea. The slums in the south of the city have always been the imperial court's heart disease."

"If you can solve it, it can be said that it has helped me a lot. I will write you a handbook, and you can take it to Chang'an and Wannian county magistrates later, and ask them to cooperate with you."

After getting the handbook and chatting for a while, Chen Jingke left the palace and returned to Zixiao Temple.

Hand over the emperor's characters to Tian Dachun, Mei Laoshi and the others, and said: "Make them all...the school motto is engraved on that big stone in the academy...take the time to measure the exact size yourself."

Seeing that it was written by the emperor, they didn't dare to be careless, and carefully put it away.

Tian Dachun said: "Don't worry, real person, we will definitely handle things beautifully."

Chen Jingke waved his hand and left the printing workshop.

Walking in the yard, I saw Linger running around pushing a wheelchair.

He stopped and smiled like an old father, and said, "Ling'er, how about pushing sister to relax?"

Linger stopped and said, "Well, my sister is too bored in the room, so I pushed her out to play."

Chen Jingke touched her little head and praised: "Ling'er is so good, she is a good boy."

Ling'er dodged away, and said unwillingly: "Oh, my hair is all messed up, and I still need to comb it. I'm in trouble."

Combing her hair is definitely one of the things she hates the most, but Qingju always combs her various hairstyles.

At this time, Xing'er in the wheelchair saluted, "I've seen a real person."

Chen Jingke nodded slightly, and asked, "How is your waist? Is it better?"

Xing'er replied, "I can already stand up while supporting things."

Ling'er interjected from the side: "My sister is lying, she fell down several times before standing up, and cried in pain."

Xing'er panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "No, I'm... that's happy."

Chen Jingke frowned, and said, "Do you know that if you forcefully stand up like this, it will only aggravate the injury, and it is likely that the previous treatment will be in vain?"

Xing'er said in fear, "I...I..."

Chen Jingke said: "What are you, I know what you think. But what you do will only make things worse and your body will recover more slowly."

"Since sitting in a wheelchair, when Master said you can try to get up, when will you try to stand up again. If you tell me that you are messing around again, I will kick you out of the temple."

Xing'er was so frightened that tears almost came out, and said: "I... I know I was wrong, and I don't dare to do it again."

After staying in the temple for so long, she already knew what Chen Jingke was like.

But maybe it was the first time that the impression was too deep, she was always somewhat afraid of him.

Usually seeing him is like a mouse meeting a cat.

Chen Jingke wanted to say something more, but Linger jumped out to fight the injustice and said: "The real person is bad, and he is scaring my sister. I want to tell the temple master, Aunt."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "My sister is disobedient, and she has to stand up by herself when she is sick. This will make her condition worse. Do you think she should be scolded?"

Ling'er's little face was very embarrassed. Although she really deserved to be scolded, her sister was so pitiful.

Chen Jingke didn't really ask her to answer, and continued: "It's okay if I don't scold her. Ling'er must supervise my sister well in the future, and don't let her be brave again."

As soon as Linger stopped scolding, she showed a relieved expression on her small face, and said: "Okay, I will look after my sister in the future...you can't scare her anymore."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Okay, don't scold her...You guys play here, I'm going to the front."

Ling'er said like a plague god: "Yeah, you go, see you, Daoist."

Chen Jingke glared at her and said, "Little heartless, I hurt you for nothing."

"Slightly." Ling'er made a grimace, pushed the wheelchair and ran away with small steps.

Chen Jingke smiled endlessly.

Except for Qingju, this girl is usually the closest to him, but she is also the most presumptuous and arrogant in front of him.

She didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Qingju, because she knew that Qingju really dared to beat her up.

As for Chen Jingke, he couldn't even reprimand her loudly.

Back in the backyard, I went to see Wu Shu first. She was already seven months pregnant, and she entered a more dangerous time again.

She was taken care of very thoughtfully every day, and she was specially assigned two Kun Dao, who are knowledgeable in medicine, to serve her by her side, so as not to cause problems.

She herself was extremely careful, for fear that something might go wrong with this baby.

Seeing him come back, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Are you done with the things outside?"

Chen Jingke sat down next to her, and said, "Leave the affairs of the academy to Cheng Laoer. When he is completely familiar with it, I won't have to go there every day."

Wu Shu nodded, then shook his head and said, "Although that's the case, it's just that the academy is related to your future plans, so you still have to run around."

In fact, she was worried that Cheng Huailiang and others would unite to take him down. There are some things that Chen Jingke doesn't care about, but she does.

It is the property of my own man, and no one can take it away.

It's just that these words can't be said, and Chen Jingke won't like to hear them, so she can only remind them from other aspects.

Chen Jingke drank a glass of water and said, "I know, I may be at the academy during the day and come back to rest at night."

Wu Shu immediately said: "Everything in the temple is on the right track, there is no major event in the short term, you can spend more energy on the academy."

"If you find it troublesome to run back and forth, you can stay there temporarily and come back when you are free. You don't have to worry in Guanli, there is Master and me."

Chen Jingke didn't think much about it, and said, "Forget it, I love my family, I don't have any important things, so let's run back and forth every day."

Wu Shu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you are not too tired, I also want to see you every day."

The couple sprinkled dog food for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, Wu Shu immediately started to chase people away.

"It's getting dark, and it's time for me to rest. You can also go to rest after running all day."

Chen Jingke got up helplessly, and rubbed her swollen abdomen lightly, but: "Little bastard, because of you, my right to sleep here is deprived by your mother."

"When you come out, see how I teach you."

Wu Shu said with a smile: "Okay, I will be born in three months, please bear with me."

What could Chen Jingke say, so he had to leave honestly.

Seven months into the dangerous period again, Wu Shu directly refused to let him stay overnight.The reason is very good, I am afraid that his mischief will affect the fetus.

It made him very speechless.

God is sorry to see, before the two of them did things on her own initiative, he was the one who suffered.

But this kind of matter is destined to be unable to argue with her, he can only go to live in his own yard.

He went to say hello to Sun Simiao first, and had dinner with the old man before he returned to his yard.

The two little maids had already boiled hot water and were waiting for him.
