Chapter 2371 The Emperor is ready
Fang Jun glanced at Xu Jingzong and felt convinced.
This person has first-class talent and learning, but has a low character and a thick heart. However, he is indeed worthy of being called a cunning person. Especially, he has a keen judgment on matters in the court. He can choose from the bottom among the "Eighteen Bachelors of Prince Qin's Palace". , all the way to the pinnacle of the Tang Empire's political arena, it is indeed a well-deserved reputation.
In almost every choice, you can stand on the side of the winner, and then grab the maximum political benefits from it, stepping on the success of countless people.
It’s impossible not to admire him.
Fang Jun thought for a while and said: "Later, Master Xu will go into the palace with a certain person to meet the Holy Spirit and give advice to His Majesty?"
Xu Jingzong was immediately overjoyed: "This is a major military and state matter, so it is natural for me to submit to the official position!"
Although he was the teammate of His Majesty Li Er when he was hiding in the residence, his popularity and qualifications were too low, so he could not go to the palace to meet the emperor anytime and anywhere. Throughout the ages, the best way for a subordinate to make progress in any era is to be able to ask for instructions on everything, report at all times, and listen to the teachings. If you are too far away from your boss, who can miss you when you are promoted?
Meeting your boss more often and leaving a good impression in his mind is more important than doing anything else.
Fang Jun nodded and said: "I will go to my room for the time being and draw up a military training plan. Then we will discuss and fill in the gaps and improve it. We will go to the palace to see His Majesty together early tomorrow morning."
Xu Jingzong said hurriedly: "That's lucky for Erlang...but, do we want to call Chu Siye together?"
Fang Jun asked: "Master Xu really wants to go with him?"
Xu Jingzong's little eyes widened and he said decisively: "How is it possible? I can't wait to peel him off. In my mind, Erlang is a gentleman. His words and deeds are of noble character. Those rumors in the market are simply based on rumors and mechanical application. That old man The common man slandered me and said those words. He is really morally corrupt and has a bad heart!”
"Haha..."
You two old guys are just eating fat. You don’t like anyone who is fat...
"In this case, let's not call him. I and Master Xu will advance and retreat together, and work together to take care of the academy. We will share the credit, regardless of others."
"Erlang Yingming, that's exactly what it should be!"
……
After saying a few useless nonsense, Fang Jun returned to his duty room with a teacup in hand, closed the door, and picked up a pen to write down military training matters.
Military training is actually not difficult. Fang Jun has seen and experienced it in later generations. All it takes is to slightly change some of the items and replace them with items that are more in line with the current conditions of the Tang Dynasty. A little polishing is enough.
In less than half an hour, the plan was drawn up, and Xu Jingzong was called in and asked to read it and fill in the gaps.
Xu Jingzong read it carefully and became more and more admired for Fang Jun's ability. This military training thing was clearly a spur of the moment decision. As a result, Fang Jun was able to come up with such a detailed and meticulous plan in such a short period of time. Everything was meticulous and meticulous. Even after he looked at it again with a critical eye, he still couldn't find it. Mistakes.
For this ability alone, no one among the younger generation in the imperial court can match him.
What a talent Zaifu is...
Xu Jingzong was sincerely convinced, and the idea of replacing Fang Jun in his heart became weaker and weaker. He thought that this guy had the background, means and ability. It was definitely not a wise move to confront him head-on. Look at how Chu Suiliang was now completely beaten in the academy. You will know how powerful it is when you put yourself in a position where your words are worse than farting.
The right way is to assist Fang Jun honestly and make the academy's management prosperous.
Fortunately, although this guy is a bad guy, he is never greedy for merit and is very protective of his subordinates. He is a good boss...
*****
Early the next morning, just after the small court meeting in Liangyi Hall, Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong went directly to Shenlong Hall and asked for an audience.
His Majesty Li Er returned to the Dragon Palace to wash his face. When he heard that the chamberlain reported that Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong were asking for an audience together, he knew that it was for the academy's affairs and ordered someone to summon him.
Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong entered the palace and paid homage to them.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Without courtesy, sit down."
The two of them thanked each other and then took their seats on the left side of His Majesty Li Er. Fang Jun said: "Your Majesty, I have some suggestions for the arrangement of the academy's courses after the start of the term. Please take a look at it."
"Oh? Bring it to me and see."
His Majesty Li Er was full of curiosity and expectation for Fang Jun's whimsical thoughts from time to time, because past facts have proved that although this boy has always acted recklessly and caused trouble at every turn, his abilities are indeed beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. And, some of his ideas may seem absurd and unrealistic at first, but they all prove to be very useful in the end.
At this time, the waiter served fragrant tea to the two of them.
Fang Jun winked at Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong could explain these things without him having to waste time. He held the tea cup and leaned back slightly on the chair, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Li Er Your Majesty: "Your Majesty, I have not eaten this morning and I am very hungry now. Can you give me some snacks to satisfy my hunger?"
Xu Jingzong was shocked and asked the emperor for food... You are more courageous than your face!
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er didn't seem to pay attention. He just waved his hand to the chamberlain on the side. The chamberlain quickly exited. After a while, he brought two maids holding several small plates and placed them on His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong respectively. On the coffee table next to me.
Xu Jingzong was completely convinced.
Thinking about the "Eighteen Bachelors of the Prince of Qin's Palace" back then, all of them were talented people in the world, and they all followed His Majesty Li Er to fight all the way and finally conquered the world. His Majesty Li Er had great favor and trust in these people, but after all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. How dare you be so unruly in front of His Majesty?
My son-in-law is indeed different from others...
Xu Jingzong did not dare to feel jealous, but he admired Fang Jun more and more. He quickly unfolded the plan written by Fang Jun and polished it by him, and introduced it in a tortuous tone.
Beside him, Fang Jun was eating snacks and drinking tea, slurping and eating happily.
His Majesty Li Er frowned and reprimanded: "You should look like you are eating when you eat. How can you be so ungrateful as to be snoring?"
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Wei Chen knows his crime."
He drank tea in small sips, not daring to make a sound.
Xu Jingzong swallowed. He hadn't eaten in the morning, fearing that he would be anxious when he came to the audience. It was already late, and it was unbearable for him, who was very concerned about health, to miss a meal. In addition, Fang Jun had to eat It tastes so sweet that I feel like my intestines are so hungry...
Taking a breath, I forced myself to control my thoughts and not think about the snacks and tea, and focused all my attention on the plan in my hand...
*****
The content of the plan drawn up by Fang Jun is very detailed.
In fact, "military training" existed a long time ago.
Since the Shang Dynasty, due to the increase in wars between princes, rulers have paid more and more attention to military training. In addition to training the regular army, they also provide military education to nobles at all levels through schools.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the official division was divided into "Guoxue" and "Xiangxue", and there were two levels: "primary school" and "university".
"Zhou Li·Bao Shi" records: "Raising a country's sons with Taoism is the six skills of teaching."
The "universities" in the Western Zhou Dynasty focused on martial arts, and the teachers were usually military officers. The main content of military training is archery, that is, learning archery and how to drive five kinds of chariots. That is, the "six arts" are the standard curriculum. "Etiquette, music, archery, chastity, calligraphy, and mathematics" become the six basic skills that students need to master. Talent.
Ironically, during the lifetime of its founder Confucius, Confucianism, which received mixed praise and criticism in later generations, regarded the art of archery and imperialism as being as important as the education of ritual and music in the teaching process. "If a good man teaches the people for seven years, he can become a soldier." "If you don't teach the people to fight, you are abandoning them." These words come from "The Analects of Confucius·Zilu", which obviously puts military training and education in a very high position. .
At that time, people regarded the level of military skills as a sign of whether a person could be regarded as a virtuous person. There is a teaching in "Guoyu·Jinyu" that "shooting the emperor's feet is a virtuous thing".
If those Confucian scholars in later generations who could not lift their hands or carry their shoulders and were inferior in everything but had high academic standards were born in the era of Confucius, they would not even be qualified to become Confucius' students...
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the distinguished ministers became generals and prime ministers. They practiced both civil and military skills internally and externally. However, despite the constant war, the children of real aristocratic families have gradually begun to indulge in luxury, abandoning martial arts and specializing in literature. , only those concubines and sons of the clan had to rely on military merit to gain fame when they did not receive many resources from the family to cultivate them.
If things go on like this, it will inevitably form a pattern in which the elite and the martial arts are inferior. It would not be a good thing if in the future people with some ability would study hard and neglect their martial arts. (End of chapter)
