Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 450 Killing two birds with one stone

It's no wonder that Li Jiyu was so angry. At that time, the people still respected scholars very much, thinking that the "Wenquxing" descended to the earth and would become generals and prime ministers in the future.

If Songyang Academy, which was prosperous at the time, was still there, Li Jiyu, Chen Jindou and others whose hometowns are here would be able to benefit to some extent. Even if you have a little wealth and your children are a little talented, you may not be able to take the opportunity to go to school.

Li Jiyu's earliest wish was similar to that of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, that his wife and children would be a hot bed. He had even planned that if his wife gave birth to a boy, he would do his best to send him to Songyang Academy so that he could become a big shot in the future.

Good guy, first the hot kang head is gone. Later, the child was gone, and now even Songyang Academy is gone. It's no wonder that Li Jiyu and Chen Jindou were worried.

Chen Jindou hesitated when he saw Zhang Shun. After all, no matter who is in power in the world, he cannot do without scholars to help him govern the world. He was afraid that his lord would listen to Li Jiyu's "demon words" and use his own sacrificial flag to win people's hearts.

He quickly explained: "Brother Yu Yu has misunderstood. I am not trying to destroy the academy, but to protect it!"

"Now that Ren Chen is raising troops in Yuzhou, the war will come here sooner or later. You and I both know that Ren Chen is a cruel and arrogant person. How can he love the people like his son and not disturb the people like our lord? At that time, I am afraid that Songyang Academy will be destroyed in one day."

"Instead of doing this, why don't we invite the students from Songyang Academy to work under the lord first? Firstly, we can preserve the seeds of learning in Songyang Academy so that the academy can regain its prosperity in the future. Secondly, they can also try their luck in following the dragon. Establishing one's virtue and standing up one's word saves you the trouble of taking the imperial examination."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he looked at Chen Jindou with admiration. He had never thought that this guy had made such progress in recent days. It was so rare that he actually said such remarks.

With his clever words and seductive words, Li Jiyu was no match for Chen Jindou, but he remained silent for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun had a plan in mind and said with a smile: "This time, Chen Jindou is somewhat reasonable. There is no need to be angry when Li Ji meets you."

"Originally, I planned to go to Songyang Academy in person to pay my respects to the 'Er Cheng Ancestral Hall' and to visit the academy director to show my respect. Now that I have met my brother who is so elegant, you might as well make the trip for me. Inviting a scholar from the academy to me will be a great achievement."

"Then Chen Jindou's behavior is too vulgar. I like him, and I am afraid that he will disturb the students. Only when I meet someone who respects scholars, I will feel relieved to go this time. If you do this well, it will be enough to prove that you are worthy of the important task. , you can lead an army alone. When the time comes, it will be you who will be stationed at Songshan Mountain!"

Li Jiyu secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't know that it was his master who was hitting, pulling, pulling and guarding him.

He got his wish and got the important task of garrisoning Songshan, but he only needed to go and "persuade" a large number of the chiefs, teachers and students of Songyang Academy to work for the Lord.

Although these men of letters did not have any martial arts skills, most of them had a bad temper. After this time, force must not be used. By then, I am afraid that Li Jiyu's reputation in the Songshan realm will be the same as that of Yu Dazhong, and he will be even more notorious if he goes against the wind.

If he wanted to do something big in the future, who would be willing to follow him? Fortunately, Li Jiyu had no intention of doing this. He had other things to do, so he agreed.

Afterwards, Li Jiyu ordered five hundred elite soldiers to charge towards the Songyang Academy with bright swords and fine armor.

Songyang Academy is located at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain and at the foot of Taishi Mountain. The site faces south, surrounded by peaks and mountains on the east, north and west sides and surrounded by streams. Only the south side is open and gentle, where students can enter and exit.

This Songyang Academy is also legendary. It was originally called Songyang Temple and was the residence of monks. In the eighth year of the Sui Dynasty, the place was renamed Songyang Temple and became a place for Taoist priests to refine alchemy.

During the reigns of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, Songyang Temple was used as a palace twice, renovated and built, and renamed Fengtian Palace.

In the Five Dynasties, it was called Taiyi Academy, and later it was renamed Songyang Academy, which was very prosperous for a while.

For more than a thousand years, it has gone through the changes of the three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, as well as the imperial palace, which is also a wonder.

Fortunately or unfortunately, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, Songyang Academy has now become a pure place again.

On this day, the weather was hot. The mountain chief was lying on the mat and taking a nap, listening to the sound of reading in the school.

Shan Chang means the elder in the mountain. Because most academies are built on famous mountains and rivers, they are called Shanchang.

The name of Shanzhang originated from the Five Dynasties and originated from the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the mountain chief was regarded as an academic position, so it has been passed down to this day.

This mountain leader is also known as Cave Master, Tangzheng, and Dean. He is the highest person in charge of the college affairs, which is quite similar to the status of the principal in later generations.

Under it, there are also positions such as "lecturer", "jingzhang" and "tangzhang". Most of the lecturers are teachers, who are responsible for explaining the scriptures. The chief minister is selected from among the students who are proficient in the scriptures, and is responsible for explaining the doubts of the disciples.

The principal is similar to the position of monitor in later generations, responsible for supervising students' attendance, taking class records, collecting students' questions and other miscellaneous matters.

The mountain chief was already old, tired in the summer, and unconsciously fell into a daze. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a commotion in the academy. He became frightened and cursed angrily: "Where is the dean? Why don't you urge the students to study, but instead make a noise?"

Not long after, I saw a young junior student running in in a panic, shouting: "It's not good, the mountain chief."

When the mountain leader heard this, he became angry and shouted: "How did I teach you in the past? If Mount Tai collapses in front but does not change its color, and the elk rises to the left but does not blink, then you can control your interests and wait for the enemy. If you cannot be calm when encountering trouble, , how can I nourish my awe-inspiring spirit and follow the glorious and righteous path?"

The headmaster opened his mouth and pointed out with some fear: "Chief, a group of bandits have come to the courtyard and they want to kidnap us as accomplices!"

The mountain chief was stunned when he heard this, couldn't help but shuddered, and reprimanded in a low voice: "If the matter is urgent, you must obey the authority. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After saying that, he actually looked around until he found a place to hide, then crawled over.

The head of the church was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he quickly asked: "Chief, now that people are in panic, I still ask you to come and uphold the right path. How did you get under the bed?"

"Idiot, please keep your voice down. The sage even said: A big stick will move, a small stick will bear. But this is still the case when facing my father, let alone a bandit? It is true that a rotten tree cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be demolished."

The dean's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly responded: "What the dean taught me is that the student will remember it now!" After that, he also lifted up his clothes and got under the dean's bed together.

By the way, Li Jiyu led his elite troops and easily invaded the Songyang Academy.

The academy is full of literati, but they don't have much ability. Even if there are a few people who are good at bows and arrows, they can't stop anything without organization.

In just a moment, Li Jiyu took control of this group of literati. Just a count of them showed that there were seventy-one people in total. Excluding those who had asked for leave and those who had not returned from going out, the only ones missing were the academy's mountain chief and dean.

Li Jiyu was afraid that Zhang Shun would suspect that he was not doing his best, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to search for him while preparing to torture the scholars in the academy.

After working hard for a long time, they were able to drag these two people out from under the mountain chief's bed.

The mountain chief was over sixty years old, and his beard and hair were all white. He asked everyone to help him search for a long time before he found a few spider webs wrapped around his hair.

After he finished arranging his clothes, beard and hair, he smiled calmly and said, "Everyone is here, right? Let's set off when we are all here!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something again, and quickly asked Li Jiyu in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you need me to bring anything else?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, speechless. Li Jiyu also felt that what happened was a bit unexpected, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Our rebels have everything they need, so there is no need to bring anything else."

"It's just that, old man, you are a bit shameless. Can you carry a little less?"
