Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 241 Jixia Academy
Hahaha!
Seeing Zhang Jian's appearance, Wang Mang suddenly burst out laughing.

Zhang Jian, who already had the will to die, raised his head and looked at Wang Mang with grief and indignation. He was about to die. Your Majesty, are you so funny?
Wang Mang smiled for a long time, looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Who told you that I was going to kill you? Could it be that in your Zhang Jian's mind, I was killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

Don't you kill innocent people indiscriminately?

A thought flashed in Zhang Jian's mind, but he said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous monarch, and he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. The guilty minister never has such thoughts in his heart."

"I can't see what you think in your heart." Wang Mang smiled and said, "But I don't care what you think. I just want to ask you one thing. Who is Li Wenjun?"

Li Wenjun?
Zhang Jian raised his head abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face. Originally, when the emperor came to him, he thought it was Zhao Xin who had told him the secret, but when the emperor asked Li Wenjun, Zhang Jian immediately knew that was not the case.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Jian never told Zhao Xin Li Wenjun's name, even his own cronies didn't know Li Wenjun's name, how did the emperor know?
terror!
For a moment, Zhang Jian was in a cold sweat, and felt that there seemed to be a shadow staring at him all the time, otherwise, how could such a secret be known by the emperor, which meant that the emperor had already buried people beside him, but who is it?
Wang Mang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Jian. What he wanted was for Zhang Jian to doubt this and that, and no matter how Zhang Jian verified it, he finally found that his guess was wrong, which made him appear inscrutable.

"Why, don't you want to say?" Wang Mang said lightly.

"No." Zhang Jian shook his head quickly and said, "Before Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows everything, but the guilty minister is very strange. Where did your majesty know this name?"

"Do you really want to know?" Wang Mang looked at Zhang Jian with a half-smile.

Zhang Jian surprised Wang Mang, and quickly shook his head, "Forget it."

"Let's go ahead." Wang Mang waved his hand, and Li Lan shunned the irrelevant people knowingly.

Zhang Jian's expression moved slightly, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Your Majesty know about Jixia Academy?"

Jixia Academy!

Wang Mang's pupils shrank suddenly. If Fang Xizhi hadn't been killed by a man in white lightly before, Wang Mang might not have known about this place, but after that, Wang Mang deliberately went to find out about the place with the title of school palace in the world.

The Jixia Academy is undoubtedly the most famous among all the schools. To be precise, the Jixia Academy is the number one institution in the world. It was founded by a saint and has a history of thousands of years. It is located in the eastern country of Qi. It can be said that any person who comes out of Jixia Academy will definitely be an expert in a certain theory in the world.

In its most prosperous period, Jixia Academy included almost all the schools of thought in the world, and every school was proud to be included in the curriculum schedule of Jixia Academy, although Jixia Academy now has a little A little bit in decline, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Jixia Academy has firmly ranked the first school in the world.

Wang Mang also instantly understood why Li Wenjun's teacher and apprentice were so loud. If Jixia Academy really wrote a book for him and strongly recommended Zhang Jian, he really had to think about it. After all, Jixia Academy has too much influence on scholars all over the world. up.

But how did Zhang Jian know people from Jixia Academy?

Wang Mang looked at Zhang Jian with a puzzled expression. Although the Jixia Academy is large in scale and has many students, Daqin is located in the west of the Central Plains, and has always been considered by those theories of the Central Plains to be a place of alienation. Few scholars come to Daqin to give lectures. Therefore, the overall academic atmosphere of Daqin can be said to be full of flowers, which is even more unpleasant. As a result, Daqin has never been the sphere of influence of Jixia Academy. How could Zhang Jian, a Daqin scholar with great tradition, have anything to do with Jixia Academy.

Emperor Zhang Jian's fluctuating expression showed that the emperor knew about Jixia Academy, and he knew quite a lot.

So I no longer explained the origin of Jixia Academy, but said: "It must be very strange for the guilty minister to know that His Majesty, how did the criminal minister get involved with the Jixia Academy far away in Qi State? In fact, the matter is also simple. The Academy looks down on Daqin, thinking that Daqin is a land of alienation, a barbaric place where people drink blood. That was a thousand years ago. After all, Daqin was indeed a bit barbaric compared with the Central Plains at that time, but after thousands of years of development, Daqin is now No matter how you look at it, it is no worse than the big countries in the Central Plains, and even in some places, some big countries in the Central Plains are not as good as Great Qin."

Zhang Jian continued: "Under such circumstances, although Jixia Academy has not put down its arrogance and came directly to Daqin to open a branch, Jixia Academy has already included Daqin in their study tour list. In the early years, I had a relationship with a scholar from the Jixia Academy, to be precise, it was the guilty minister who once saved the life of that scholar, this is the relationship between the minister and the Jixia Academy."

Zhang Jian said that Wang Mang listened carefully, without saying a word, and then asked, "Is Li Wenjun the scholar you dated back then?"

"No," Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "That person had a very high status in the academy back then, and is said to have been ranked as a Bachelor of Jixia. Li Wenjun should be just a professor under him."

"A mere professor can treat you like an honored guest. You, the official minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, really make me look good." Wang Mang snorted.

Zhang Jian blushed and said: "Your Majesty, the Jixia Academy is the highest school in the minds of our scholars, not to mention professors like Li Wenjun, who are his apprentices, and they are also extremely knowledgeable people. In terms of status, The guilty minister is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, so he is naturally very tall, but in the academic world, any student from Jixia Academy is also an expert and scholar, who can write a book and make a biography."

Facing Zhang Jian's defense, Wang Mang just sneered and said, "I hear what you mean, if Jixia Academy is against me, you still have to help Jixia Academy to fight against me?"

"The guilty minister dare not!" Zhang Jian bowed his head to the ground in fright, and kowtowed to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang shook his head and said: "You know what happened today, I know it, no one else should know it, I'm tired, you kneel down!"

Zhang Jian raised his head and looked at Wang Mang silently. The words he hoped for in his heart never came out of Wang Mang's mouth. Zhang Jian couldn't help feeling a little sad, and then bowed his head and knelt down to Wang Mang.

In Chang'an's troubled house, which looks dilapidated on the outside, there are flowers blooming like brocade, which is called elegance, and it doesn't match the appearance at all.

Li Wenjun's master and apprentice are sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Chen Chusheng poured a cup of tea for Li Wenjun and said, "Teacher, that Zhang Jian should have told Emperor Daqin about our affairs. The students don't understand. Why didn't the teacher stop us?"

"Why do you want to stop it?" Li Wenjun said with a smile: "I went to Zhang Jian, and I expected that Zhang Jian would disclose the matter to Emperor Daqin. Even if he didn't, someone would do it. This is within my expectation, even This seat is very happy to see it come to fruition.”

"Why is that?" Chen Chusheng looked puzzled.

"Without him, try the Emperor Qin's attitude towards the Academy." Li Wenjun said meaningfully.
