Chapter 1057 Wang Fangyi's Road
Among Li Xiu's students, Wang Fangyi is probably the one with the least sense of existence, mainly because of his dull personality. He spoke actively even in class. However, he did not expect that during this meal, he actually found Li Xiu and said that he had something to discuss with him. This made Li Xiu look surprised and said, "Fang Yi, what's the matter?"
Wang Fangyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Qibing, I...I want to go to the military academy too!"
"You are going to the military academy too? Why?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard Wang Fangyi's words. Wang Fangyi was the only son of his family. If he went to the military academy, he would have to work in the military in the future. Unlike Pei Xingjian, a civilian position like Pei Xingjian, students who graduated from the military academy were actually going to enter the front-line troops. If there was any good at that time, their family would be defeated, so Li Xiu would be so surprised.
Seeing Li Xiu's surprised look, Wang Fangyi showed a embarrassed expression. After a while, he spoke: "Don't you often teach us to be ambitious? The situation of my family also knows that although my grandmother doesn't like our family, she can get a job with the blessings left by her father. However, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future, and I don't want to be the pen official."
When Wang Fangyi said this, his face, which was originally a little shy, suddenly changed into an ambitious expression, with an extremely firm look in his eyes. Then he spoke again: "I remember that a real man was born in the world and should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements. Although the country is now strong, border troubles still occur from time to time. Moreover, our Tang Dynasty values the most military achievements. If I want to shine the lintel, the fastest shortcut is to join the army, so I hope Mr. will fulfill it!"
After hearing Wang Fangyi's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he, a student who usually kept silent, had such ambitions. However, it is not surprising that although Wang Fangyi in history was a civil servant, he made considerable military achievements. He was responsible for the construction of "Suoye City", one of the four towns in Anxi, and later pacified the Western Regions, which can be called both civil and military.
However, Wang Fangyi may be influenced by himself and actually chose to be a general, which will deviate from his original life trajectory. I don’t know what level he will reach in the future?
"Fang Yi, I'm very happy that you have such ambitions, but did your mother agree to you go to the military academy?" Li Xiu said very seriously at this time. After all, Wang Fangyi was the only son in the family, and his father passed away, so he only depended on his mother for his life. In his case, even if he was recruited, he could be exempted from military service.
"Sir, don't worry, I discussed this with my mother a long time ago. Although my mother disagreed at first, after my persuasion, my mother had agreed to go to the military academy and did not object to my future joining the army. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this." At the end of the day, Wang Fangyi showed a embarrassed expression on his face again.
"Condition?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard that Wang Fangyi's mother agreed, but then he thought of something and couldn't help but smile, "Your mother wouldn't let you have a child as soon as possible, so that she can feel at ease to let you join the army, right?"
"It's true that I can't hide it from the sir. My mother wants me to marry and have children when I'm fifteen, so I'm probably the first person to get married among my husband's students." Wang Fangyi said with a wry smile at this time.
Although the Tang Dynasty law stipulates that men get married at the fifteenth time, there is actually another one, that is, it is recommended that men and women get married after the 18th time, and this one is added by Li Xiu. Therefore, Li Xiu has always taught his students that it is best to get married after the 18th time, especially women. After all, it is too dangerous for women to have children before the 18th time. For example, Hener, Qi Niang, Wan Niang and others are all people who marry after the 18th time.
"I can understand your mother's mood, but if you marry, it's best to marry a woman two years older than you, so that children can reduce some risks in the future." Li Xiu did not blame Wang Fangyi. After all, the situation in his family is different, and most families now get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
"Well, sir has taught us some medical knowledge before, and all these students remember it." Wang Fangyi nodded when he heard Li Xiu's advice, and at the same time he showed gratitude on his face. He lost his father at a young age, and his grandmother Tong'an Princess did not like their family. If it weren't for Li Xiu's help, he and his mother would have been driven out of Chang'an by his grandmother. Moreover, in recent years, he has not only learned a lot of novel knowledge, but also the principles of being a human being. Even his ambition to join the army and make contributions and shine the family was established under the guidance of Li Xiu.
"Okay, since you have decided, I will recommend it to the military academy for you. Speaking of which, the military academy is about to recruit students this year, but after you arrive at the military academy, you should communicate more with people. Don't always be so untalking, so as not to be bullied in the future!" Li Xiu immediately patted Wang Fangyi's shoulder and said, "One of his students has grown up one by one, and he also needs to leave the path of choosing them, which makes him feel a little sad.
"Haha, sir, don't worry, with Brother Jin in the military academy, who dares to bully me?" Wang Fangyi joked at this time. Li Jin met a group of friends in the military academy, and the friends he made were no longer limited to Cheng Chuliang and other generals. Even some outstanding soldiers selected from the army were brothers to him. Every time the military academy was on holiday, they could see them wandering on the streets of Chang'an.
When Li Xiu heard Wang Fangyi's words, he couldn't help but laugh. He immediately told Wang Fangyi to go to the military academy and contact Li Jin. After all, Wang Fangyi doesn't like to talk and is not very good at communicating with others. He really has to learn from Li Jin.
A few days later, Li Xiu personally sent Wang Fangyi to the military academy. Li Jin was happy for several days when he learned that his junior brother was going to the military academy with him. However, in this way, Li Xiu was missing one more student. Whenever he saw the empty seat in the school, Li Xiu felt empty.
The military academy is a few days earlier than the academy's enrollment time, so after Wang Fangyi went to the military academy for a few days, the days for enrollment of Nanshan Academy and Zhongnan Academy finally came. On that day, Li Shimin also announced his retirement early because he wanted to go to Zhongnan Academy with Li Xiu and others. Speaking of which, in order to suppress the aristocratic family, Li Shimin really put in his efforts, but he didn't know which of the two academies could be better in enrollment today?
