Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 378 White Horse Academy
Xie An was not a scholar in this session, he was actually the top scholar in the previous session, but at that time he had just passed the examination, and then fell seriously ill, and has been recuperating at home for the past few years.

This time, he was recommended by someone to practice with the new scholars. I have to say that Xie An is indeed worthy of the top spot in the last year's list of scholars, and he is quite powerful.

Originally, most of the scholars in this class were won over by Wang Dun, but after Xie An appeared, he snatched some people from Wang Dun abruptly, and the two fought fiercely among the scholars. Evenly matched.

Now that Wang Dun has been sent by Wang Mang to Wei Guo, if Wang Dun's trip is successful, Wang Dun's status will be very different after Wang Dun returns.

As a person who is as famous as Wang Dun, Xie An is also a little anxious. In the officialdom, he is not slow at all, but slow at every step. If he is slower than Wang Dun at this step, no matter whether he is promoted or promoted in the future, he will have to be ranked behind Wang Dun. Later, unless he redoubled his efforts, he might be able to fight Wang Dun again.

Xie An, who was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was eager to perform a lot during this period, did a lot of things, said a lot, and many remarks were heard by Wang Mang, and Wang Mang thought it was very reasonable.

Xie An was summoned by Wang Mang, and prepared a lot of drafts. He asked himself that no matter what Wang Mang asked him, he could easily answer, and he saluted and kowtowed to Wang Mang calmly.

Wang Mang signaled Xie An to stand up, and said directly: "I heard that you were born in White Horse Academy, what do you think of White Horse Academy?"

Xie An was baffled by Wang Mang's questions as soon as he came up. Xie An had prepared countless questions about state governance, and countless questions about marching and fighting, but he never thought that Wang Mang would ask him directly about the White Horse Academy. In an instant, Xie An's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Xie An has been studying Wang Mang since elementary school, playing with guessing the emperor's mind, but now that Xie An has discovered the tragedy, he can't see what Wang Mang is thinking at all, so he can only nod and say: "When I was young, I really I used to study at White Horse Academy, and the current dean of White Horse Academy, Bai Jing, was my teacher at that time."

"How did I hear that the dean of White Horse Academy is Ma Yu?" Wang Mang said indifferently.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, there are actually two deans of the White Horse Academy, Bai Jing and Ma Yu are both the deans of the White Horse Academy." Xie An said: "President Bai Jing lives in seclusion in the back mountain of the White Horse Academy all the year round, and usually does not appear outside, so Non-core disciples of White Horse Academy generally don't know the existence of Dean Bai Jing."

"This is quite interesting. One academy has two deans, so who has the final say?" Wang Mang said suddenly.

"This." Xie An didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Dean Ma Yu is in charge of the daily work, and the two deans will discuss important matters."

"I heard that White Horse Academy is related to Jixia Academy and White Deer Academy. You are so outstanding, why didn't you go to study in these two holy places?" Wang Mang said.

"Qizou Your Majesty, this matter was originally a secret of the White Horse Academy. I shouldn't have said it, but as the saying goes, don't tell lies in front of the emperor, so I told your Majesty about this matter." Xie An knew that he would not say anything today. Three or four, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to go out, so I said: "The world only knows that the name of White Horse Academy is related to the white horse statue at the entrance of the academy. It’s not that big, the origin of the name of White Horse Academy is actually because the two founders of the academy are named Bai and Ma, don’t ask me who these two are, Your Majesty, I don’t know, I’m afraid there are only two people in this matter. The owner of the house knows."

After a pause, Xie An continued: "Everyone in the world thinks that White Horse Academy is related to Jixia Academy, yes or no, in fact, White Horse Academy is related to Jixia Academy and White Deer Academy, the two founders of the Academy One was born in Bailu Academy and the other was born in Jixia Academy. The ancestors of the Bai family were born in Bailu Academy, and the ancestors of the Ma family were born in Jixia Academy. It is said that the ancestors of the two families were expelled from the school for some secret reasons. door, the two joined forces to create the White Horse Academy in Daqin."

"As the academies founded by those who were expelled from the sect, whether it is Baima Academy, Jixia Academy, or Bailu Academy, the relationship is actually not good." Xie An said: "Just 100 years ago, an ancestor of the Ma family didn't know how What happened was that it had something to do with a deputy palace master of Jixia Academy at that time, so it was a matter of course to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan, and Baima Academy had a relationship with Jixia Academy, while the Bai family never had any relationship with Bailu Academy. Because of this, Bai's status in White Horse Academy is getting lower and lower. Although he is one of the deans, outsiders only know Dean Ma Yu, and never know Dean Bai Jing."

Speaking of this, Xie An smiled wryly: "I am a disciple of Principal Bai Jing, so naturally I cannot enjoy the treatment of a disciple of Principal Ma Yu, neither can I go to Jixia Academy or Bailu Academy."

Wang Mang raised his brows. After Xie An's explanation, Wang Mang finally understood the relationship between White Horse Academy, Jixia Academy, and White Deer Academy, and he was concerned about how to treat White Horse Academy in the next step.

Xie An didn't know what Wang Mang was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak. After a long time, Wang Mang said: "Xie An, I heard that you are both civil and military, and there is a task for you right now, are you willing to accept it?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Xie Anqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Reports have been reported from all over the country. Bandits and bandits have appeared in some places recently. According to analysis, they should be the southern rebels who fled the battlefield. So I want you to wipe out or recruit all these rebels, what do you think?" Wang Mang said.

Xie An was originally excited, but most of the flames ignited in his heart were extinguished at that time. It was just to suppress bandits. For him, Xie An was really overkill, but doing something is better than doing nothing. Xie An gritted his teeth and said: "The leader The decree is to let the rivers and seas in Daqin survive, and there will never be a bandit."

"Very good." Wang Mang nodded and said, "Xie An, don't think this matter is small. You have to know how to sweep the world if you don't sweep a house. If you want to go far, you have to lay a solid foundation."

"The minister has been taught."

Xie An walked out of Wang Mang's big tent, still a little dazed, he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, until Li Lan caught up and handed him a roll of imperial decree, he just remembered, Wang Mangguang asked him to go To suppress the bandits, but he didn't give him a single soldier, so what did he use to suppress the bandits.

"Director Li, did Your Majesty forget to give some soldiers to the officer?" Xie An asked Li Lan with a bitter expression.

Li Lan looked at Xie An with a half-smile. If she hadn't stayed by Wang Mang's side for a long time, Li Lan would have thought that Wang Mang had annoyed Xie An, but Li Lan knew that this Xie An had fallen into Wang Mang's eyes. It can be expected that Li Lan is still willing to sell favors to such a person.

Li Lan unfolded the imperial decree lightly, pointed to the four words and said: "Your Majesty's words are all in these words, thank you for understanding it yourself."

Xie An looked intently, but there were four words "self-recruitment", Xie An was stunned for a while, and then he vaguely understood what Wang Mang meant.
