The so-called mouth is open at the top, but the legs are broken at the bottom.
Even if there are examples and foundations for the national education reform, it still makes all departments at the top and bottom of the government dizzyingly busy. They have to start the morning session every day, are not allowed to rest after the next session, and have to hold a lamp at night. Night reading to learn new and avant-garde knowledge about reform.
This is very painful for the veterans in the court. The energy they have in their old age cannot be compared with when they were studying and taking the imperial examinations when they were young. When I was young, I would stay up late studying to pursue my ambitions. Now, even if I still have an unyielding spirit, my physical fitness cannot keep up.
The faces of the old courtiers became worse and worse day by day when they went to court. When they turned around and saw the energetic faces of the young courtiers, they were even more heartbroken.
Suddenly I understand why the new emperor wants his old ministers to retire and replace them with new ones.
Let’s not talk about whether it is to stabilize his team’s confidants, but let’s just say that the workload is really too much for older people.
One day, an old minister fainted on the spot in the court. When the imperial doctor diagnosed the disease as overwork, the new emperor seemed to have a conscience and extended the tasks assigned to the veterans for a while.
The veterans were not very happy.
The grace period is just a suspended sentence for them. If they don’t want to be fired or retire, they have to continue studying and keep up with the rhythm of the new era of reform.
The relatives of the veteran ministers were frightened as they watched the pillars of their families being tortured and aging rapidly. They always felt that the new emperor wanted to take advantage of them. It was just that cutting them off directly would affect their reputation, so I destroyed them in this way.
That night, many veterans' families received rewards from the palace.
"Master, this is the elixir given by the palace."
"Bring it."
"Master, do you really want to take it?"
"Haha, if he wants to Just take my life! If I die like this, you will ask the dead soldiers to carry my coffin around the imperial city three times and show everyone how they treat the people who are destined to do it. A veteran!”
"..."
The old manager sighed.
It is also the new emperor's ability to drive a lot of old men out of their youthful madness.
After swallowing the elixir, the veteran’s eyes were bloodshot and he continued to read at night.
The old manager advised: "Sir, why don't you invite a gentleman who is familiar with these three books to teach? It will be faster to learn this way."
The old minister raised his head, "You mean, sir, my knowledge is not enough to deal with this enlightening thing!?"
"...I don't mean that." The old manager looked at the old man who turned into an old naughty boy, and said well He said angrily: "I heard that your former classmate, Mr. Hu, who was demoted to Beiyuan Castle to study teaching, initially attended the night class with a group of horned children."
The old minister glanced at Mouth.
Although the guy was in a very poor state, he still recognized his knowledge. If the other party also wants to attend night classes, wouldn't it be shameful to invite a husband to teach at home?
The old manager saw the master's relaxation and continued: "Besides, the master still has important responsibilities, so it would be nice to save some time."
"What you said makes sense." The old minister nodded.
The boss said: "I'll do it right away."
The boss said: "Keep it hidden."
The boss said: "I understand."
The next day , the old minister had woken up early in the morning and was still feeling dizzy and his eyes were swollen. When he was being served to put on his court clothes, the servant said that he looked really good today.
The old minister sneered, told some nice lies, and then turned around and asked the old butler to transfer the servants away from him. There was no need for such unrealistic flattery.
When he arrived at Chaoshang, he found that all his colleagues around him seemed to have taken elixir. Yesterday they were still in a state of decay, but today they have regained their vitality.
"Master Zhang, you are here." A colleague who was usually eloquent approached, looked at his face for a few times and said, "It seems that you also got the tonic given by the emperor last night."< br>
Zhang Yuanlao asked: "What do you mean?"
Colleagues said: "Look at everyone's expressions today. They all received royal gifts from the palace last night."
Only then did Zhang Yuanlao remember the pill he had taken angrily last night.
At that time, he was saying angry words, but in fact he knew that Yi Zhen would not do such a stupid thing as poisoning an old minister.
Now it seems that it is not a stupid thing, but a good thing?
When people reach old age, how can they not live for more years?
The morning sounds.
Yi Zhen came to the court.
After everyone bowed, Yi Zhen looked at the faces of the old ministers and said with a smile: "Everyone looks so good today, I am very happy."
The ministers expressed their gratitude one after another and said, The king loves and protects.
You come and I come and go again, it is like a monarch and his ministers discussing business after a blind date. The lively and intense atmosphere lasted until the next court session.
Yi Zhen said: "Seeing that the ministers are so energetic, the official work will be completed as scheduled."
Yuanlao Zhang's eyesight went dark.
I said it was a good thing before I ate it.
That Bu Dan was clearly the sweet date that the new emperor enslaved them for easier grinding.
Li's Mansion.
Li Xueshi, a former veteran minister in the imperial court, is now idle at home.
After thinking about it that day, he slept well and ate well every day, and then studied with the young gentleman he invited.
Today the young gentleman said that he would change the class time in the future.
Li Xueshi asked politely: "Is there anything I can help with?"
The young gentleman shook his head, "It was not an accident, I just picked up another student today. ”
"Oh? I don't know who it is?" Li Xueshi asked curiously.
The old manager of the Zhang Mansion only wanted to keep a low profile, but forgot to tell this gentleman not to tell anyone. At this time, he was asked by Li Xueshi, and after thinking that they were probably familiar with each other as officials in the same dynasty, he said it bluntly. The master of the Zhang family.
The two happened to be about the same age, and the young gentleman said that they could still communicate with each other in the future.
Li Xueshi was happy when he heard it.
Hey, that arrogant old guy also invited sir. It seems that his brain is not rusty yet.
He asked someone to send the young gentleman out, and soon a confidant came in and told him about recent events in the DPRK.
When he heard that many serving veterans had received tonics, he thought for a moment and asked someone to invite Dan Fu.
Fu Dan was invited to the Li Mansion and saw a weak-looking Bachelor Li.
Li Xueshi took the initiative to bring up the affairs of the DPRK and handed the plan article he had prepared before arriving to Dan Fu.
Dan Fu was surprised.
Li Xueshi said: "I knew you were a thoughtful person at the beginning, but it was a pity that I could not have more of a teacher-student relationship with you. Now that the emperor is so ambitious, I will feel relieved if you can help me on my behalf. I As I get older, I don’t know how much time I have left, so I can only do my part.”
< br> Dan Fu said: "Sir, you are serious!"
Xueshi Li waved his hand, "Since the emperor asked me to assist you, you don't have to take care of my body and bones. If you have any problems, just come and walk around the house, cough cough cough Cough.”
“Sir.” Fu Dan stood up and helped him.
Xueshi Li patted the back of his hand and sighed: "No problem. As long as you don't dislike the decline of my Li family, my knowledge is ancient."
"Sir, you are destroying the students!" Dan Fu said in shock.
At this time, several young men and women walked in outside.
Li Xueshi said to them: "Come here to see Mr. Fu."
The young people greeted him obediently and generously.
Li Xueshi said to Fu Dan: "These are the juniors of my Li family. They are now studying the Three Books of Kaiqiao and are preparing to face the subsequent preliminary examination. You can test them."
Seeing that Li Xueshi was serious, Fu Dan had no choice but to ask a few questions for these children to answer. As a result, the young people answered fluently, which showed that they had really worked hard in this area and it was not just a matter of a few days.
Li Xueshi said: "Ahem, cough, cough, although I am old, the descendants of the Li family can still be loyal to our court!"
The legitimate son of the great house came over and helped Li Xueshi. , "Grandpa, don't worry! My grandson will definitely study hard and be loyal to the country of Yi!"
Other teenagers also echoed.
Dan Vo looked at the sincere expressions on these young faces.
It was getting late, and Academician Li asked him to stay for dinner, but Dan Fu declined.
Li Xueshi did not force anyone to send him out.
Dan Fu didn’t have to look back, he could still hear Xueshie Li’s heartbreaking cough.
Noon on the second day.
Li Mansion received a royal gift from the palace and a quota for a new school.
Academician Li, who got the pill, grinned and asked for delicious food and drink.
