Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2630 The Black Pot Has Been Prepared
Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and asked, "Is this your idea, or the crown prince's?"

Fang Jun shook his head and said: "The prince is kind, how can he be willing to make a big move to make a fool of himself? This kind of thing naturally requires the child to stand out. Taking this opportunity, it can also be seen by those who want to follow King Jin, so that they can behave differently." scruples, so that the fight can be controlled within a certain range, so as not to lose the bottom line and fight together."

He knows the Guanlong nobles very well. These people usually don't pay attention to the king's law at all. They only care about their strength. If you are powerful by him, you will definitely do everything possible to defeat you completely. On the other hand, if you hit a rock, you will die immediately. , somewhat restrained.

He offended the Guanlong nobles the most, what happened?Those people are silent now, they only dare to think of some plots secretly, but they don't have the heart to implement them.

That's a group of bullying people...

Fang Xuanling sighed, "You are too deeply involved."

What he has always pursued is to be unbiased and unreliable, to remain neutral in the battle for the reserve position, and only to be loyal to the emperor. Whoever inherits the throne in the future will be the real son of heaven, and he will never be involved in the battle for the reserve position.

At the beginning, Fang Jun had the same political views as himself, but he gradually developed into a solid supporter of the prince, which made him deeply worried.

Although he didn't understand why his son blatantly defended the prince, and even labeled himself a "princeling" and vowed to unite himself with the prince to advance and retreat together, Fang Xuanling never stopped him. He has his own reasons for making such a choice out of political wisdom.

Fang Jun will surely need to inherit this huge family business in the future, whether it is smooth sailing or experiencing setbacks, he has to experience it by himself.

But it is one thing to support the prince, and another thing to take revenge on those who oppose the prince.

Disagreement of political opinions in the court is a common occurrence. Many people fight endlessly for interests in the court and refuse to give up an inch, but they have very good personal relationships in private.Different positions have their own needs, which is the default truth of everyone, but when it comes to private retaliation, it completely changes its nature.

But Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, and explained: "If someone else does this, it will definitely offend a large number of people. After all, some of them have surpassed the bottom line of political struggle, just like Hai'er and the nobles of Guanlong, who have already accepted the death feud But when Hai'er came forward, everyone just thought that this incident had angered Hai'er, and it was only natural for him to retaliate. As long as the method and consequences are well controlled, even Xie Yan and the others themselves will not regard Hai'er as Enemies never die."

That's the benefit of having a bad temper.

Everyone knows that he is a stick, and he wholeheartedly supports the crown prince, but he is obstructed and provoked a battle for the position, how can he not get angry?The temper tantrum broke out, so I had no choice but to not do it too much. Everyone can understand it and will not associate it with the prince.

After all, the prince's benevolence is known all over the world, how could the benevolent and peaceful prince take revenge on his subjects...

As long as you don't associate revenge with the prince, the matter will be controlled within a certain range, which will not only have the effect of learning from past mistakes, but also will not cause widespread dissatisfaction and panic.

Fang Xuanling considered carefully, approved Fang Jun's approach, but warned: "You must pay attention to control, and you must not cause unstoppable consequences, otherwise the public opinion will be fierce, not to mention that the crown prince can't protect you, even His Majesty will blame you. At that time, you will really become a lonely minister, unless the crown prince successfully succeeds to the throne, all your future will be ruined."

Fang Jun naturally knew the seriousness: "Father, don't worry, the child has his own measure, and the child doesn't need to do it himself."

Fang Xuanling wondered, "What do you want to do?"

"Ahem, my child was in Jiucheng Palace earlier, His Royal Highness King Wei went to look for me, and was eager to go to the south of the Yangtze River with me. Last time when Zhen Tianlei was stolen in Huating Town, the Jiangnan gentry forced many Guanlong nobles to do something to the child. Compensation, the boy felt that those ill-gotten gains were not suitable for receiving, and it happened that His Royal Highness the King of Wei urgently needed funds to develop county schools and rural schools, so the boy gave these industrial money to His Royal Highness Wei, which can be regarded as doing his best for the educational cause of the Tang Dynasty. A force."

"It's a good job. The most useless things in the world are yellow and white things. My family is full of gold and silver now. Why bother to covet the property of other people's family? It makes people jealous. But you are sure that King Wei will follow your plan." Willing to act?"

"Father, don't worry, the king of Wei is poor now, and he doesn't have a lot of copper coins in his pocket. He will listen to whoever gives him money. Besides, with the pretense of raising money, no one will think that he is falling for the prince." Besides, he naturally has no scruples in doing things. This His Highness has never been timid, and he will use any means to achieve his goals."

"...You have a good idea, but you are a bit wicked."

"Father's words are wrong. It's just that everyone gets what they need. Besides, the current king of Wei doesn't care about reserve positions at all, and running schools all over the world has brought him great fame for a while. He just needs to do something to come from Get dirty and explain your position."

"That's fine, anyway, you can decide for yourself, don't trap His Highness too hard. Although this Highness is a bit arrogant, conceited and self-willed, but his nature is absolutely good, as long as he is willing to run around and do his best for the cause of Datang education, then he will be able to do it. Admirable."

"Remember your father's teachings."

"Let's go, since His Royal Highness the King of Wei is here, it is natural for him to pay his respects as a father, and we must not be rude."

"Here!"

……

The two father and son came out of the main hall and went to the guest room, but saw Wei Wang Li Tai holding a teacup, standing in front of the west window, pushing the window open, and staring intently.

There was a faint sound of children reading.

Seeing Fang Xuanling and his son, Li Tai quickly put the teacup on the tea table beside him, and raised his hand to salute: "The student has met Liang Guogong."

As one of the most accomplished people in the imperial court, Li Tai also studied with Fang Xuanling back then. He was not only impressed by Fang Xuanling's knowledge, but also admired Fang Xuanling's personality. In front of Fang Xuanling, it is always the gift of son and nephew.

Fang Xuanling didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hastily returned the courtesy: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Wei."

After the ceremony, the three sat down respectively. Fang Xuanling glanced out the window and asked, "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

Li Taidao: "Those buildings inlaid with glass not far away are the farm's school, right?"

Fang Xuanling raised his eyes and looked out. This angle happened to be able to see a corner of the school, and there was the sound of children reading, so he nodded and said, "Exactly."

"My king heard that compulsory education has been implemented in the Fang family farm. All the school-age children in the farm must go to school, and some miscellaneous expenses will be paid by the farm. When Liang Guogong was in the court, he cared about the people's diligence in government affairs, and he refused to retire when he became an official. When I am free, I don’t care about my investment in educating future generations to continue Chinese studies. Such a state of mind is really admirable.”

Li Tai said with emotion.

Everyone knows the importance of education. Since ancient times, if one wanted to break through class barriers, one had to study literature to rule the country, or practice martial arts to make achievements, but who could force the slaves in the family to study literature and martial arts, but pay expensive tuition fees?
One is that there is absolutely no need to spend this money, and the other is that a slave is a slave, and it is just working for the master, so what is the use of learning so much?

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, and said: "Your Highness is too famous, but it is just to teach children some superficial knowledge, so that they can read and count in the future, and my wish is already fulfilled."

Although the words were humble, the pride between the brows could not be concealed.

Although it was Fang Jun's idea to set up a private school to make school-age children in the village compulsory...but without the support of his own father, would he be able to play well?

It is only natural that the son's credit should be borne by the father...

Li Tai said sincerely: "The reason why I established the 'Datang Culture Promotion Association' was that I was instructed by Erlang, and after seeing the reforms and efforts made by your government in education, I made up my mind. There are quite a lot of county schools and township schools, and all the expenses are raised by the father's internal funds and the king's quarters. Although they are stretched, they can do their best to support them. Only this teacher is seriously insufficient. I hope that Liang Guogong can help us to build together The prosperity of education has never been seen through the ages.”

Although Fang Xuanling did not form cliques when he was in power, he has served as the prime minister for more than ten years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world, especially the Shandong family behind him is the root of Chinese studies. The children went to county schools and township schools all over the country to serve as teaching instructors, and the lack of teachers in their eyes was easily solved.

As for whether such an approach would allow the Shandong family to take advantage of the opportunity to grow and break the current balance of power in the imperial court, it was not within his consideration.
