Chapter 467: Cultivate oneself, demonstrate one's ambition, and cultivate one's nature

When they got home, they took a hot bath, but they still went to see Chen Ji and Tang Yan play chess. The two of them went back and forth, and Tang Yan gradually couldn't hold on anymore. Finally, they gave up and shook their heads and sighed. Then they saw Chen Ao and said, "Chen Ao, it turns out that you are here too."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Come and take a look and see the two teachers playing chess, which reminds me of something."

Chen Ji won the chess and was in a particularly good mood. He put the chess piece in the jar and laughed and said, "Tell me, let me know."

Chen Ao said: "Students plan to recruit some musicians, piano masters, and painters to go to the martial arts school to listen to it."

"Hmm?" Chen Ji was quite confused.

Chen Ao said: "In addition to practicing and extracurricular, the lieutenants were asked to choose piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to class. They had to be able to take the exam at the end of the year. The students even gave them a name called the Interest Class."

Tang Yan pinched his beard and shook his head and said, "No, no, since it is a martial arts school, how can people not do their jobs? For example, although there are also students in the Imperial College who like these miscellaneous jobs, I will not encourage you. If you lose your ambitions and delay your homework, will you miss your children?"

Chen Ji closed his eyes, and seemed to have figured something in his eyes, saying, "Brother Tang, why not listen to Chen Ao telling him the reason?"

Tang Yan smiled: "Okay, Chen Ao, you say."

Chen Ao said seriously: "Students have been thinking about how to distinguish the lieutenant from ordinary old soldiers in the army. So they innovated many methods, such as teaching them to restrain themselves and restore etiquette, strengthen their practice, and after they develop this habit in the school, they will become dissatisfied with the bad phenomena in the camp after joining the army. Most of them will be military officers such as Yuhou and Dutou in the future, and they will contact more military soldiers. Therefore, when they see that the soldiers are so lazy and do not match the habits they have developed, they will inevitably have conflicts, so they will definitely practice the soldiers according to the rules of the martial arts school."

Chen Jihe nodded: "If a captain can change ten military soldiers, a year later, if the captains of this period are released, they can train eight thousand elite soldiers, right?"

Chen Ao said: "Mr. Chen is right, but there is one of the most terrifying things. After all, the military camp is a dye vat. Either the lieutenant influences the military camp, or they are influenced by the military camp. Although they have received the teaching of self-restraint and restoration, who can guarantee that they will not become military oil students in three to five years?"

Tang Yan said: "What does this have to do with teaching them to chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "The purpose is to improve their cultivation. If a person's cultivation reaches a certain level, it is very difficult to influence others. For example, the oil boy in the army likes to look for prostitutes when he is free, likes to drink or gamble. However, a person with a certain level of cultivation will have a sense of pride in his heart and will have strong resistance to these bad habits."

Chen Ji's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, even if the military oil boy went to visit the kiln, most of them went to private prostitutes with the vulgar fans. However, a person who is familiar with chess, calligraphy and painting will never go to private prostitutes. In their opinion, vulgar fans will only make them sick, right?"

Tang Yan couldn't hold his beard anymore and coughed desperately to cover up his embarrassment.

In front of his father-in-law, Chen Ao's old face couldn't help but turn red. Fortunately, Chen Ji could point it out in one go, but this sentence was rough and not rough, which was exactly what Chen Ao wanted to express.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Diligent practice is to help them develop good habits, which is to cultivate themselves. Studying at night allows them to understand the principles of self-restraint and rejuvenation and defending their country, which is to show their ambitions. Teaching them to play chess, calligraphy and painting is called cultivating their nature. No matter where they have put them, a person who has experienced self-cultivation, ambition and ambitions will never be infected by military oil students, because through these experiences, they will have a belief in their hearts, namely honor and virtue. This kind of pride in their bones will never let them be inseparable from military oil students. As long as they still persist, one day, more and more such people will eventually change the bad habits in the army."

Chen Ji applauded: "Yes, when I was an official, I knew a little about the bad habits of the imperial guards. If these disadvantages could not be eliminated, even if I was Bai Qi and Sun Wu were resurrected in the Song Dynasty, I would probably only continue to be corrupt. It was just that the habits were difficult to change. It was so difficult to eliminate these disadvantages. It was necessary to prescribe the right medicine. This method might have great potential."

Tang Yan was moved by it and said, "You can try it. It is easy to recruit art teachers, but it is best to say hello to Cheng Yangling in the Taixue School. There is a calligraphy and painting academy in the Taixue School that specializes in teaching Tai students to take the art exam. Although these Taixue are all good talents in my Song Dynasty, the art exam is not easy. All the top ten people will fail the exam. As long as you understand Cheng Yangling, you will ask him to choose some Taixue students who failed the exam. In less than three days, you will be done."

"Go to find Cheng Yang's character?" Chen Ao was stunned.

………………………………………………………………

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Ao rode a horse, prepared gifts, and found a house that cultivated its nature, and went to pay homage.

In fact, the Chengfu is not far from the Tang family. The reason why it became a mansion was that its frontier was cleaner than the Tang family. After entering, its family background was not much better. Chen Ao sighed in his heart that it was hard to be a teacher in any dynasty and generation, so don’t be a teacher in any way.

Cheng Yangxing first heard Chen Ao coming, and his face immediately turned cold. Several students came to visit him. When he saw the Jijiu look, he couldn't help but say, "What are Chen Ao doing? Humph, is he going to insult Mr. Cheng? Mr., let's send him away."

Cheng Yangxing shook his head and said, "Look first, let's talk about it."

When Chen Ao saw Cheng Yang's character, he immediately performed a student ceremony and said, "Student Chen Ao has seen Cheng Gong."

Cheng Yangxing hurriedly said, "How can the lower officials bear the great gifts of Lord Shen?" This means that he is unwilling to be Chen Ao's teacher and wants to separate his relationship with Shen Ao.

Cheng Yangxing and Chen Ao are also natural enemies. The previous dispute between the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College has made their relationship with the incompatible waters and fires. In Cheng Yangxing's view, Chen Ao is now in a high position, and this time it is 80% of the weasels wishing the chicken a New Year - uneasy and kind-hearted.

Chen Ao smiled embarrassedly and said, "The students have prepared some gifts for the adults. Haha, they are all worthless gadgets. Specialties from the Khitan Kingdom, please accept them as a smile."

Cheng Yangxing waved his hand and said, "You can't bear it, so please ask Lord Shen to take it back." He raised his eyes lazily and said, "Lord Shen doesn't have to take any turns. If you have any trouble, you might as well talk straight to the point."

Chen Ao sat in his seat and said slowly: "The students are here to congratulate the adults this time."

"Congratulations?" Cheng Yangxing smiled and said, "What are you congratulating?"

Chen Ao said: "Of course, congratulations to the students for having another way. The martial arts school plans to recruit a group of artists who are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Chen Ao expressed his purpose in a lot, and was afraid that he would not want to cultivate his character. At the end, he added: "As long as you enter the martial arts school, you can talk about the placement, and you will be taught an assistant teacher immediately. How about it?"

The assistant teacher is inconspicuous, only from the eighth rank. It is really inconspicuous in Bianjing City, where there are more officials than dogs. However, at least, it is considered a court official. Even in the Imperial Academy, the assistant teacher must at least be born in the same Jinshi. The price offered by Chen Ao is not low.

Chen Ao looked at Cheng Yangling nervously, waiting for Cheng Yangling's answer.

Cheng Yangxing thought for a while and said, "This is also a good thing. Since that's the case, I promised, how many people Lord Shen wants?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yangxing was so happy, Chen Ao couldn't help but be overjoyed. In fact, he had already prepared a plan for the best and the most superior. The best strategy was: if it really didn't work, just go to the palace to ask for an imperial edict. If the imperial edict was delivered, it was not afraid of the great scholars' resignation. As for the Zhongxing, it was to threaten and induce people. If the surname Cheng did not agree, he would give him some color. The worst strategy was to ask Liu Sheng to bring his own cover and live in Cheng Yangxing's home from today, which would make him feel disgusted.

Chen Ao said happily: "Five students of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are enough. Of course, it is best to have gentler temperaments and dignified character."

Cheng Yangxing smiled slightly and said, "This is not difficult. I will hand him the *** to Lord Shen in a few days."

Chen Ao said, "I am happy to be a great man. We don't fight or make a deal. In fact, in my heart, students have always admired Cheng Gong. It is better to invite Cheng Gong Gong Gong Gong in a few days. How about it?"

Chen Ao was afraid that he would pick some crooked people and go to the Martial Arts School. Of course, he had to prepare this relationship in advance. He had to eat a short mouth and had to eat his Chen Ao's food, of course he had to do his business well, otherwise he would vomit as much as he would in the future.

Cheng Yangxing snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Shen, we are talking about official affairs just now. As for personal relationships, the officials are not interested in any connection with Mr. Shen. Lord. Shen, please go back."

Chen Ao said nothing, and said goodbye in a dusty manner, leaving Cheng Mansion, feeling sad; but today he agreed to the government to enter the palace to send paintings, so he changed his clothes when he returned to the palace and entered the palace with his own painting, and presented the painting to Zhao Ji's imperial case.

Zhao Ji looked at Chen Ao's painting carefully and carefully compared it for half an hour before he realized that his waist and neck were sore. He stood up with difficulty and supported the case with his hands and said, "It's more clever than the one sent by Heng'er."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will summon the painter who made the fakes and ask him to see your paintings and see if he can find the flaws in your paintings."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Your Majesty is sincere in asking me to show my ugly words."

Zhao Ji said with a pressure to the point of being humble, "You are not humble when it's time to be humble, but you are reserved at this time. If you don't say this, I have something to say to you." He held his hands and said slowly: "School will start after the Lantern Festival in the Wubei School?"

Chen Ao nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Ji said: "I understand. This school opening ceremony should be held more grandly and not be behind the Imperial College and the Imperial College."
