Chapter 462 Aiming at Guozijian, Mr. Unyielding
"I wonder what the hell is going to do with Goguryeo?" The newly arranged accommodation in Japan, Mr. Huiri looked at the Yoon Gaisuwen who was following him in confusion.
"I came here to ask some questions. The two monks came to the Sui Dynasty many years ago and must be very familiar with them in Chang'an. I heard that you were invited to study at the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if this is the case?"
Monk Huiri nodded, "Yes, we both studied in the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty for three years, and we learned both Chinese dialect and writing at that time.
However, Zhongyuan was extremely hospitable and treated envoys from all countries with great courtesy. For some reason, he treated so poorly today."
After getting the exact answer, Yoon Gaisuwen laughed, already had a plan in his mind, and immediately spoke: "You two may not know anything!
The Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty has been incorporated by Zhongnan Academy. Now the Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of Bai Fan, the Marquis of Lantian. Moreover, Bai Fan is a hostile person who is against aliens. He advocates the theory of hatred of aliens everywhere and does not allow the Imperial College to accept alien students at all. This is the purpose of our countries forming alliances."
"What? Such a evil person appeared in the Tang Dynasty? Does the emperor care? "Monkey Huiri exclaimed.
Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head and said, "This may be a conspiracy between the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Bai Fan. We must break this conspiracy, so two eminent monks need to take action. I have a plan here, maybe it will do it."
Huiri Huiqi heard Yoon Gaisuwen telling her way. The more she listened, the brighter her eyes became. This is a good idea.
After the discussion, the two gangs acted separately. Hui Ri and Huiqi entered the palace to find the emperor, and Yuan Gaisuwen went to the Honglu Temple to promote it.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I admire the cultural etiquette of the Central Plains. I want to go to the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty. Please give me a gift!"
In the Political Consultative Hall, Hui Ri Huiqi and his two men were begging for a big gift. Li Er frowned. They didn't say anything at the meeting. Now that they came, it seems that someone has asked me.
However, this move is very clever. Throughout history, small countries and barbarians have said that they admire the Central Plains, and there are many people who come to study. Many kings in the Central Plains rule the world with the king's way, thinking of spreading Chinese civilization as a gift, allowing these people to study at the Imperial College, the highest academic institution in the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, for a little vanity, the country did not even restrict what the other party learned, and before leaving, it gave a lot of money and property as a reward from the Celestial Empire for small countries. This was the case with the former Sui Dynasty to Japan.
But the Tang Dynasty was different. Bai Fan had helped to rectify the vanity of the court officials, and there were not many real corrupt scholars in the court. However, these aliens proposed to study at the Imperial College, which was a great idea.
The Imperial College is a national institution. For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, it was necessary for the Tang Dynasty to conduct such exchanges. The previous dynasty was in the forefront, so it was almost impossible to reject them.
Li Er was not afraid that the two monks would go to school again, but was afraid that other countries that followed one after another would follow suit.
Sure enough, Li Er had not agreed yet. People from Honglu Temple outside said that many countries would pay homage to the letter of the country again and would send their country's princes to study the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty and learn the etiquette and culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Er had no choice but to summon several confidant ministers.
"The barbarians are so conspiring. The Imperial College has been incorporated by the Zhongnan Academy. We say to the outside world that Zhongnan Academy is private and the state cannot interfere. However, everyone in the Imperial College teaches at Zhongnan Academy. Could it be that we will redirect it?" Wei Zheng said angrily.
"Wei Laohei, it's useless to get angry. These guys are deliberately making things difficult for them. In order to break the barriers of the academy, they really do everything they can. Now I'm thinking about how to solve it." Changsun Wuji advised.
Wei Zheng shouted to Changsun Wuji: "Fatty Changsun, my family is not called Wei Laohei, Laohei is Jingde's guy!"
"Oh, it's someone who is wrong. You should be called Lord Wei Hei-faced!"
"you……"
In the Political Consultative Hall, everyone actually started to joking. At a grand court meeting, there were actually a few strange things. Hou Junji came forward to safeguard the honor of the Tang Dynasty. The other party gave ten boxes of gold to compensate. After going to court, his colleagues jokingly gave him the nickname "Hou Shijin".
Wei Zheng came out to scold Goguryeo, but was called "Blackfaced Lord by Gaochang's envoy, so he was named "Blackfaced Wei".
Li Er on the head of the seat stopped everyone playing, "Okay, Xuancheng and Junji speak for the country, but you shouldn't make fun of them with this. I think the two names of "Wei Blackface" and "Hou Shijin" should be honored and are symbols of their standing up to protect the country.
I will issue an order to praise the two of them for their merits, so no one can enjoy this."
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Hou Junji and Wei Zheng were caught in the gun, shouting Shengming in their mouths, but they secretly cursed in their hearts. After a while, these two names would be gone. Now, the emperor has a document imprinted on his body and passed on to his descendants. If it is taken out of context, wouldn’t it be a bad thing?
"Your Majesty, Japan is a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. If they recognize their status, then it is understandable that they will be admitted to the Imperial College. If Japan does not recognize it, then this matter cannot be accepted as in a confused manner as in the former Sui Dynasty.
Since other countries want to establish diplomatic relations with our Tang Dynasty, each has its own Chinese studies, and our Imperial College is also tight, so we can not accept it." Fang Xuanling said.
Du Ruhui nodded and praised: "Xuanling has a good idea. The country is still different. Your Majesty has accepted his adopted son, and the six princes of the Western Turks also need to find a teacher. The Imperial College is just a name. As long as it is not an important place like Zhongnan Academy, it will be enough to find two Confucian students to study for ten years."
Everyone in the Political Consultative Hall made up their minds to fool all countries, but since Yoon Gaisuwen took action, how could he not have a backup plan?
No one expected that the Japanese were weaker than the Khitan, without hesitation, and immediately called the Honglu Temple officials who went to announce the imperial edict, saying that these guys didn't care about anything to steal the army.
Of course, other countries were unwilling to be stuck in the status of the two countries, and wrote letters to give examples. In history, there was no such regulation in previous dynasties. Why did the Tang Dynasty change? For a time, Li Er was under great pressure.
At the same time, Hui Ri and Hui Qi claimed that Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Priest of the Tang Dynasty, led all the gentlemen to teach at Zhongnan Academy, so they should also learn from Mr. Kong, the disciples of Zhongnan Academy.
As soon as this said, the fox's tail was finally revealed. He saved the country in a curve and wanted to enter Zhongnan Academy. This matter was a hot topic in Chang'an. Unlike the original plan to fool them, Li Er was worried.
Kong Yingda and others were recruited by Bai Fan when they were in charge of their positions. This matter was still a good thing at that time. What should I do now? Let them leave the academy? Or did they cancel the official positions of their men?
In Zhongnan Academy, Wei Zheng came to visit Bai Fan in person, conveying the current situation and the emperor's worries.
"Bai Fan of Zhongnan has met the loyal and good brother of Wei State - Lord Wei Hei-faced!"
"Baby white boy, are you still so misbehaved as a role model? I, Old Wei, sacrificed my reputation and couldn't save you. It seems that this time, Zhongnan Academy will not be able to cut off its flesh. The methods of all countries are emerging one after another. The court is exhausted to deal with it and can't stand it anymore." After Wei Zheng scolded Bai Fan, he frowned and worriedly, even the tea he loved to drink Bai Fan the most had no taste.
Bai Fan smiled and said, "Old Wei, don't worry. We are grateful for everything our colleagues in the court have done for us. Zhongnan Academy will never fall. As soon as this matter occurs, Mr. Confucius and others have already made countermeasures."
He sent someone to call the academy Kong Yingda and other gentlemen, all of whom were from the Imperial College.
Kong Yingda came forward with righteousness, took out a long scroll and handed it to Wei Zheng, "Xuancheng submitted it to Your Majesty for us. We all need to retire from our old age and are willing to take off our position as a priest and teaching student. Please ask Your Majesty to find another virtuous person.
A villain from a foreign race wants to come to steal the Tang Dynasty? Dreaming!”
Wei Zheng had already speculated when he came, but he was still a little moved when he saw him. These people devoted their lives to the Imperial College and were good men who were determined to die in office. Giving up their official position at this time was tantamount to breaking their own vows and dreams. It was definitely an unimaginable blow to a literati.
Looking at the firm eyes of everyone in front of him, Wei Zheng was speechless for a long time and raised the teacup in his hand: "Wei Zheng used tea instead of wine, and toast to all the officials!"
Li Er looked at the long resignation statement in his hand. Although he was far away in the palace, he seemed to see those firm figures in front of him. He felt in his heart and wrote eight big words - "Sir, the kingdom will last forever"!
