Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three

Zhao Zonghan rushed to the side hall and shouted: "Daojian, Daojian, go with me quickly. The official family wants to see you, hurry up..."

Gan Qi, who was eating happily, looked up and asked, "Who, who wants to see me?"

"Official family, Your Majesty, Your Majesty summons you to see you." Zhao Zonghan said anxiously, and his hands kept gesturing.

Gan Qi then realized, put down the chopsticks, wiped the greasy corner of his mouth, stood up, and compared his hands: "Lead the way in front of his head."

But when Wu Chengwo suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty wants to call me with you?"

"Brother-in-law, the official family has not summoned you." Zhao Zonghan replied, and he led the way.

Wu Chengwo was left with regret, and then he lay down at the crack of the door, twisting his head left and right to look at it.

Gan Qi followed Zhao Zonghan to Dezheng Hall, passed by one table after another, and went up to bow and bowed: "Student Gan Qi, pay homage to Your Majesty, I wish you peace."

"Well, there is no need to be too polite." After Renzong Zhao Zhen said this, he began to look at Gan Qi up and down, obviously thinking too much in his heart. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but think of Bao Zheng's words, and even the fact that Gan Qi could even kill with a knife in front of him.

Gan Qi also stood up straight at this time and looked at the emperor in front of him slightly. His nose was tall and straight, his weight was slightly fat, his cheeks were round, his beard was white under his jaw, his body was red, his black square crown was on his head, his hat wings were more than a foot long, and he also had a kind eyebrows.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty actually did not wear dragon robes, or they rarely wore dragon robes. Most of the time they wore bright red government officials, even when they went to court, they were not much different from the clothes of ministers. They usually only wore dragon robes on important celebrations and sacrificial occasions. Some emperors even wore Taoist robes to court, which was the later Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who also proclaimed himself the Taoist lord leader emperor.

At this time, Renzong finished looking and asked, "Gan Daojian, I heard Bao Zheng tell me about you, saying that you have the spirit of a gentleman, hate evil like a grudge, have the courage to sacrifice your life for righteousness, and are the talent of a pillar. Recently, I heard that your four words were really deafening. In recent days, I also heard that a young scholar regarded you as a model for studying. When I saw you today, it was really extraordinary..."

Is this a scene? Or is this Emperor Renzong really so kind? Gan Qi was thinking, but he replied: "Your Majesty is too rewarded, and the students are only willing to follow the teachings of sages and be a worthy person."

"Okay, establish your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages. It is really good to say it. I also hope that you can use this as your motto and be able to say it and do what you say." Zhao Zhen was like an elder teaching his younger generation, and he really had a kind heart.

Gan Qi was about to thank the emperor for his teachings, but before he could do it, he heard Zhao Zhen say, "I heard that you don't like the style of Taixue?"

The story that Renzong Zhao Zhen heard came from Zhao Zonghan. Zhao Zonghan seemed to have some preferences when telling stories, and took the initiative to highlight the dispute between Gan Qiye's Imperial College students and brought Su Shi over.

There is a little misunderstanding among them. It is actually Su Shi who is actually involved in the dispute over writing style.

So Gan Qi replied: "Your Majesty is mainly because Su Shi and Su Zizhan don't like the obscure and unconventional style of Imperial Academy."

"What do you think?" Zhao Zhen asked again.

"Students think that the style of Taixue is not the right way to study. A scholar reads books and continues the learning of the saints. A scholar writes articles to carry forward the theory of the saints. How can the saints be promoted? Naturally, literati requires that the saints be taught to everyone in the world. If the saints are not explained, the more they are said, it becomes more difficult to understand. How can people in the world educate them?" Gan Qi replied. In fact, there is another deeper reason, that is, should knowledge be monopolized by a small number of people?

For example, the reform of vernacular Chinese and even the reform of simplified Chinese characters in later generations were all the same, all for the purpose of allowing more people to master knowledge.

Obviously, some people are willing to monopolize knowledge and make knowledge their exclusive advantage. It seems that I try every means to write words that you cannot understand, which is a sense of superiority.

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment when he heard this, probably thinking, and then said: "Well, it makes sense. The imperial court selected good talents through the imperial examinations in order to allow everyone in the world to have a channel to serve the country. Wen is a way to educate everyone, and it is really inappropriate to be obscure and unpredictable."

Zhao Yunrang also smiled and continued: "What Your Majesty said is extremely obscure and rare, and only for studying ancient Chinese. In normal study, we should be good at doing things in a simple and easy way."

Zhao Zhen nodded and suddenly said to Gan Qi: "I want you to study in the Imperial Academy. What do you think?"

When I went to study at the Imperial Academy, Gan Qi paused slightly. Kaifeng Prefecture School was just registered and had not yet entered. This time I went to study at the Imperial Academy. What does this Emperor mean? Is it to let Gan Qi influence the literary style of those Imperial students?

Professor of the Imperial Academy, what if it is difficult to speak? It would be a troublesome to have Gan Qi go out early and come back late every day.

"Your Majesty, the students have a lot of rifts over the students, I'm afraid..." Ganqita said, and was reluctant to go.

"What? Haha... Are you still afraid of conflicting with them? If you have the ability, why should you be afraid of others? The truth is not clear. I asked you to go to the Imperial Academy to let those prides of heaven know what the truth is." Zhao Zhen said.

As expected, as Gan Qi expected, the emperor's intention was to let Gan Qi influence those students who were above the top. This job... was too difficult.

Gan Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the student is not talented but has a very difficult task, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to choose another good person."

At this time, Zhao Zonghan heard Gan Qi's rejection and was already squeezing Gan Qi, but Gan Qi couldn't see it.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, probably not expecting Gan Qi to refuse. The emperor came out of his mouth, but Gan Qi actually refused. Fortunately, Renzong Zhao Zhen was not that violent emperor, so he would not say: Come on, drag it out and fight.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were very patient in treating literati.

So Renzong Zhao Zhen said again: "Are you worshipping Bao Zheng?"

Gan Qi nodded: "Mr. Bao is a loyal and good minister and a role model for his juniors."

"Then what I'm talking about about this with Bao Zheng? I think Bao Zheng must agree with this matter." Zhao Zhen said.

"This... Your Majesty... Teacher... Students are not really unwilling to go to the Imperial Academy. They are just not knowledgeable and afraid that they will not be able to do their jobs, so they are ashamed of trusting Your Majesty." Gan Qi was really embarrassed. Teachers of this era cannot be neglected. If Bao Zheng spoke and asked Gan Qi to go, then Gan Qi would have to go.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Just go, Taixue is the highest institution of learning. Others cannot ask for it, but you can't avoid it. It seems that you really have a deep prejudice against Taixue. This is just right. After you go, you will also bring some new atmosphere to Taixue. With your talent, you will definitely not do it."

Gan Qi was really a little embarrassed. What he was embarrassed about was not because he was afraid of someone, but because he was too strict in his studies. He was afraid that he would not be able to go whenever he wanted to go, and he would not go when he didn't want to go. If he had to go to school every day, it would be too embarrassing and I don't know how much it would take to delay.

Zhao Zonghan, who was winking behind him, could no longer help but be on the corner of Raganchi's back.

Gan Qi finally nodded with an ugly face and said the truth: "Your Majesty, the students are willing to go, but the students are not willing to sit in the classroom every day. The students are more willing to run around and experience the sufferings of the people. If you become an official in the future, you can also know the hardships of the people and seek benefits for the people."

Gan Qi really can make excuses. Zhao Zhen seemed to be moved by this excuse. Zhao Zhen was already nodding: "Okay, okay, this kind-hearted atmosphere must also be taken to the Taixue School. Studying for the people is the right way. You know how to study hard every day and turn a blind eye to the things outside the window. How can you know how to be an official in the future? I will let you know what you are."

Gan Qi felt a little more comfortable and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, let's sit aside first. Today's banquet is good. You should drink happily and live up to the youth's youth." If Zhao Zhen took off his status as an emperor, he would actually be an extremely orthodox scholar.

The banquet continued and the programs were endless. Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Zhen had a very happy chat.

Zhao Zonghan followed Gan Qi to do it, and Zhao Zongshi was there on the side, and the three of them whispered to each other.

The Zhang family from Fanlou also appeared soon. Seeing that Gan Qi was sitting in front of his head, he was still stunned. He didn't know why Gan Qi sat in this occasion today and even sat in front of many royal children.

Everyone Zhang was confused. Seeing Gan Qi present, she felt a little inexplicably happy. The opening song sang the lyrics given to her by Gan Qi a few days ago.

Zhao Zonghan naturally stood up and introduced it to him, saying that this poem was written by Gan Qi.

At this time, Gan Qi was thinking about other things in his mind. The emperor meant that Gan Qi went to the Imperial Academy... to cause trouble.

This matter is still a bit difficult to deal with. How should we do something?

This made Gan Qi feel a little embarrassed, but after thinking for a moment, Gan Qi laughed again. He seemed to have thought of the way to cause trouble.

Wu Chengwo, who was still looking out of the crack in the side hall door, was suddenly slapped on the back and was so scared that he was about to turn around and scold the person who scared him, but he saw that it was Zhao Jiao, so he quickly changed his smile and said, "Madam, why are you here?"

"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated by it? Where did Mr. Gan? Where did you go?" Sister Zhao asked.

"I'm just watching Mr. Gan. Mr. Gan was summoned by His Majesty and was having a drink in the hall. Why is Mrs. looking for Mr.?" Wu Chengwo replied.

Sister Zhao was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Mr. Gan is really extraordinary. Your Majesty summoned him personally. My vision is really good. Since Your Majesty has been summoned, nothing will happen."

"Oh, is there anything else that lady?" Wu Chengwo asked.

"There is really something, so I can find you. Recently, my sister heard that Mr. Gan had done something amazing about his poems and articles outside, so I wanted to ask for it for my sister. Since Mr. Gan is not here, you should write it. I think you should know what Mr. Mr. Zhao wrote." Sister Zhao was a matchmaker on both sides, pulling Gan Qi here and holding her younger sister there, swearing to make this marriage work.

Wu Chengwo seemed to be embarrassed when he heard this, because he knew the words that Gan Qi filled in the Fanlou, but the words were given to another woman, which was a bit embarrassing.

"What? You don't even know Mr. Gan's new article? How could you study with Mr. Gan?" Sister Zhao's expression changed.

Wu Chengwo was so scared that he waved his legs and said repeatedly: "I know, I know, I will write it now."

(I wish my friend got married today and would go to help early. Today, this chapter may be the only chapter. If you go back early in the evening, you will make up for another chapter and go back late, then you can only wait tomorrow. Please forgive me.)
