Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 262: Double Insurance for Li Jing

The relationship between teachers and students and the friendship between classmates involved in the Hanlin Academy are very important.

No one can ignore it.

Not to mention Li Shimin, even Li Chengqian valued him very much.

Therefore, Li Shimin himself had to serve as the Grand Priest.

The Hanlin Academy does not have official ranks. Most of the people in it are part-time scholars, and except for a few, their positions are not fixed at all.

Gao Shilian was unemployed at home and was old, so it was impossible for him to participate in state affairs.

You can offer him some incense and love, which will benefit your descendants.

It doesn't matter.

Other central government officials and Hanlin academicians all taught and imparted knowledge.

Then the term teacher-student does not just refer to one person.

You call Fang Xuanling your mentor, you call Wei Zheng your mentor, and you call others your mentors.

This title is much more trivial.

"Your Majesty is the chief priest of the Imperial Academy, but he still has to deal with the decisions of state affairs. The affairs of the Imperial Academy still fall on the head of my uncle."

The Hanlin Academy did not gradually emerge and take shape until the reign of Emperor Xuanzong.

Li Chengqian took it out now and changed its function.

"Chang'an is the headquarters of the Imperial Academy. Those who can come here to study are all high-ranking officials."

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the chief priest, it is impossible for him to accept a county magistrate."

"That's right." Gao Shilian nodded. "So we want to set up a Hanlin Academy in the local area as well?"

"Yes, the local Hanlin Academy is established in the prefectural government, and there are only nine branches." Li Chengqian said: "This can include county-level officials in the scope of further study."

"This requires my uncle to take more care of this matter."

A blush appeared on Gao Shilian's face.

He thought he had retired and would never have the chance to work again.

Who knows, he can still make good use of his remaining energy.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

"This is approved by His Majesty."

Li Chengqian emphasized.

"I hope Your Majesty will exercise His Majesty's power and blessings."

Gao Shilian accepted the task of teaching the Grand Secretary. For him, missing out on such a God-given opportunity would be more painful than killing him.

It’s really smart.

He still remembers the friendship they have.

"Oh, by the way, Your Highness." Gao Shilian paused and said, "Recently, those noble families have been very restless and have frequently come to me for help."

"I am very dissatisfied with the Twenty-One Plan."

"It's just some minor criticisms. They can't affect the overall situation." Li Chengqian said calmly.

Make sense.

Since the northern expedition to Goguryeo, great success has been achieved.

All the pressure within the Tang Dynasty was resolved.

Five surnames and seven families?

They collectively rebelled, but Li Shimin didn't even blink an eye.

This is Li Shimin’s current prestige and suppression power.

With the promotion and advancement of Li Chengqian, Li Shimin became the holy emperor, able to suppress all enemies in the world!

"Your Highness, please do not underestimate them. They are not complaining, but they are very dissatisfied."

Gao Shilian reminded: "Many of the clan leaders have come to Chang'an. Some who didn't come also sent people with considerable prestige."

"Humph!"

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, "It's just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a trapped beast still fighting."

"Let's see what kind of storm they can stir up."

He was hoping that these people would jump out.

If I don't jump out, I won't find the right opportunity or reason to deal with them.

"My uncle is preparing first. The specific rules are still under discussion. The imperial edict should come down in a month or two."

Li Chengqian said: "If my uncle has any ideas, he can also submit them to the emperor."

"We will strive to finalize the list of the first batch of officials to receive further training before the end of this year."

"Just wait until they are over the Chinese New Year before coming to Chang'an."

After saying this, Li Chengqian left.

Gao Shilian sipped his tea and saw that there was still steam coming out of Li Chengqian's tea bowl. He couldn't help but smile.

"An old horse is still in the stable."

"You never thought that I would be here today."

"I don't stand on Gao Ming's side, but on the side of you ungrateful people?"

"Go ahead and dream."

……

"Do you know why Duke Shen was appointed as the Grand Secretary?"

On the way back, Li Chengqian looked at the noisy streets and asked casually.

He was traveling incognito and did not make a big fuss by having the Embroidered Uniform Guards lead the way.

So you can see the people of Chang'an coming and going.

Di Renjie sat properly and said in a simple and shocking tone, "Duke Shen is already old."

"Oh, you really understand it."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I will send a letter to the Duke of Wei's mansion tomorrow."

"I will pay you a visit in a few days."

"Yes!"

"Don't go back to the East Palace. Call Wei Zheng and go to the Taiji Palace."

Li Jing never expected that the prince would come to him in person.

The prince has never had a close relationship with these military officers. Everything is handled in a fair and impartial manner, and there has never been any private contact.

The only one who had contact with him was the Prince of Hejian.

When he came to see him this time, Li Jing felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and felt a chill down his spine.

He didn't even know how to get along with the prince.

"So worried?"

Seeing her husband was worried, Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, how can I not worry?"

Li Jing sighed and said, "The prince did not see anyone else, but came to see me. What do you mean..."

"Are you worried about His Majesty?"

Li Jing remained silent, agreeing. "I'm telling you, sometimes you just worry too much."

Zhang shook her head and said, "Since the prince rarely interacts with military officers, he sent a letter this time to tell others that the prince came in an open and aboveboard manner."

"Do you think the prince would take the risk to do this without the approval of His Majesty?"

"Do you want me to be your friend, or do you have other intentions?"

Li Jing's eyes lit up, as if clearing away the mist, "Your Majesty knows?"

"That's for sure. If your majesty didn't know, the prince wouldn't come with such fanfare."

Zhang said, "You should think about how to welcome the emperor."

"What is the matter with the prince?"

"Come on, won't you know?"

"alright."

All of Li Jing’s pressure came from Li Shimin.

Everyone knows Li Shimin's attitude towards him.

Loving yet defensive.

He couldn't understand, I'm about to be buried, why are you so wary of me?
The dog entered the Sima.

You eat human food but don't do human work.

I just want to have a peaceful old age, but I am forced to follow Your Majesty everywhere.

I have lived ten years less, and it is all due to you, Sima.

The day for the prince's arrival soon arrived.

Li Chengqian did not hold any ceremonial procession; the Embroidered Uniform Guards just led the way.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"No gift!"

Li Chengqian and Li Jing entered together, and after sending everyone else away, they had a conversation among themselves.

"I came here today because I have something to discuss with the Duke of Wei."

"I don't know what kind of important matter it is that requires Your Highness to come in person."

Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty has decided to set up a military academy and wants the Duke of Weiguo to be the chief instructor of the academy."

Military academy?

Li Jing was stunned. He was not confused about what the military academy was for. What he was confused about was why it was not His Majesty who summoned him to speak?

Instead, it was the prince who spoke.

"Your Majesty believes that when rewarding soldiers, it is certainly possible to emphasize military merit, but it is also necessary to emphasize their abilities."

Li Chengqian said slowly: "No one can surpass the Duke of Wei in terms of military strategy."

"It's a good opportunity to make use of my remaining energy and pass on my military experience, command ability, and knowledge of military tactics to meritorious soldiers..."

The person he was talking about was Li Shimin.

The actual ideas all came from him.

He wanted to open up another promotion channel in the military.

Through selection based on military merit, a large number of grassroots officers and even middle and senior officers are trained.

This will allow more officers with combat capabilities to emerge in the military.

At the same time, it can also further inspire the fighting spirit of the grassroots soldiers.

As long as you have military merits and outstanding performance, even if you are an ordinary soldier, you can enter the military academy.

Not only will you be rewarded, but it will also help you learn and improve.

But it’s much more hopeful than just receiving rewards before.

The imperial court could also obtain high-quality military talents.

There is no doubt about Li Jing's ability and his military talent is unique.

It would be such a shame and waste if he didn't pass down what he knew and gained.

Of course, the main purpose of this idea is to establish a system for training military officer talents.

Li Jing and Gao Shilian had completely opposite reactions.

He showed great resistance and reluctance.

"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years."

"Li Shimin is really something. Why would he say such things?"

"Look how scared Li Jing is. He has been restless for many years."

Li Chengqian could only express sympathy for Li Jing's reaction.

Who made our ancestors commit such a great sin?

"Your Highness, I am old, I am afraid..."

Li Jing wanted to decline politely, but Li Chengqian didn't give him the chance, "Duke Weiguo, are you reluctant to let others learn your skills?"

"I don't have such an idea." Li Jing shook his head, feeling a little hairy on his back.

The prince's words have serious implications.

"I have something to say, Duke Wei, please listen to me."

"I would be honored to ask for Your Highness's guidance." Li Jing said seriously.

Li Chengqian said slowly, "The more capable people there are, the more capable a person is, the more he will stand out, but he will never be unmatched."

"Is that what the Duke of Wei said?"

Li Jing was stunned immediately.

The prince is telling him that he is hiding his ability and will be unstoppable, but if more people learn it, they will become street goods.

Even if he didn't receive his true teachings, he still learned how to lead troops in battle.

It won't look so different and eye-catching.

"Duke Wei, please write a book on military strategy that combines your military abilities and thoughts."

"It can be used as teaching material in military academies."

Li Chengqian said calmly: "If you don't lead troops, you can teach others how to lead them."

"minister……!"

Li Jing hesitated for a while, then said: "I am deeply grateful to the Holy Emperor for his high regard for me. How dare I not respect him?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled.

The main crux of this matter is the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

If Li Shimin hadn't come, I wouldn't have known how to bring up this topic.

Even if he came and Li Jing agreed, I'm afraid he would have concerns and wouldn't teach him wholeheartedly.

But Li Chengqian's coming represented another meaning.

I, the crown prince, am here to guarantee you.

You don’t have to worry about it now, and you don’t have to be afraid of being liquidated in the future.

"Your Majesty is the principal of the military academy."

This sentence made Li Jing completely let down his guard.
