Chapter 115: The Rise of the Chen Clan(1/2)

After hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone looked at Li Shimin quietly and waited for his next statement!

Li Shimin immediately said, "I see Deng Jian as a talent. It is rare for him to recite poems for several months, especially his understanding of poems is mysterious."

Li Shimin was in a hot mood at this moment.

He even thought that I should write some poems so that the common people can learn.

As for the understanding of poetry, Li Shimin felt even more at ease.

He is the emperor... Any emperor... hopes to establish his own authority, which is the basis for the stability of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

That is, the so-called eternal foundation.

The aristocratic races wanted to monopolize their knowledge, but they not only looked down on Deng Jian, but they were afraid that even I would not look down on them.

And this Chen Zhengtai... has really found a way for me to try!

The aristocratic clans are too rampant, and they are already so rampant that they are so obsessed with them. This time... they must be beaten hard.

But it is not easy to hit them, because these people have been through thousands of years, and have formed an impeccable huge net with marriages, teachers and students, fellow villagers, old officials, county leaders, land, slaves and other things. Any knock on them will trigger a huge rebound.

Since that's the case, then don't touch them for the time being, but... encourage Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and continued, "If Deng Jian enters school in the future, wouldn't they become my disciples?"

Chen Zhengtai nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, my teacher, their knowledge is all thanks to the students, but I think about the source of my water. The students are my teacher's disciples, so..."

"Very good." Li Shimin said happily: "Everyone has close ties and I have them, and I hope they can become talented."

After hearing this... everyone couldn't help but take a breath!

What does Your Majesty mean?

Kong Yingda and others were a little panicked.

This is obviously a terrible signal.

Li Shimin immediately said, "The prince is young, but he can't be idle all day long. Let him come to Erpigou University every month to urge his homework."

This effect is really unprecedented. Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that his mentor would support him so much.

But at the same time, Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a meaningful look, because he knew very well that he had expressed his strong support in front of so many people, to some extent, the person who would be under great pressure was not himself.

He is the emperor and controls the troops of the world. Even if someone is dissatisfied with this, he will not dare to show off his power in front of him. But if these people want to make a bad thing, they must start with Chen Zhengtai.

In other words, Li Shimin didn’t know whether this university could succeed, but he had to do so. Whether it was successful or not depends on himself, whether Chen Zhengtai could withstand the pressure, or... he cultivated many disciples.

What Confucianism, what Laozi and Zhuangzi are, are actually not important!

The Han Dynasty determined to respect Confucianism alone, and only then did it have a country of power for hundreds of years. But now...

After the fall of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism had lost its role in stabilizing the world!

Over the past few hundred years, dynasties have changed continuously. Those who have mastered Confucianism are no longer tied to the royal family, but are planning their own future for their families, making them immortal clans over hundreds and thousands of years.

Since these are useless, or... they are unwilling to be devoted to me, then... I will let the new ones replace the old ones.

But... these newcomers... are afraid that they will suffer because... they will face endless pressure.

Therefore, when Li Shimin said this, his eyes when he looked at Chen Zhengtai were not about appreciation, but about a bit heavy.

Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "Students must work hard and continue to die."

Having put so much financial resources and thoughts into it, should he be afraid now?

Chen Zhengtai naturally understood what Li Shimin meant, but he could no longer turn around.

He felt that he was a time traveler and came to this world with the thoughts and ideas of later generations. The first thing he had to solve was the problem of where I came from, where I was going, and what should I leave in this world.

Although this philosophical question is ridiculous, after all... Chen Zhengtai has stood on the shoulders of a giant and obtained things that others don't know. He can rely on this to seek wealth and prosperity, and live a life of dying. Such a life can be very comfortable, but...

Is life limited to this?

In fact, when I first came here, Chen Zhengtai had this idea, but soon, he became bored. He knew very well... a life without goals is meaningless.

Li Shimin's eyes shone. At this time, the color of appreciation was overflowing in his eyes. He knew that Chen Zhengtai understood him, and Chen Zhengtai's answer also made him understand Chen Zhengtai's thoughts.

So, a smile of relief flashed quickly on Li Shimin's lips, and then said, "Return to the palace."

Chen Zhengtai said, "The teacher will leave without eating, he will come."

"No." Li Shimin felt that this happened today and he was still angry. If he still brought his ministers to eat and drink here, he would seem unserious. He said, "If Chengqian wants to stay here, let him stay."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt very happy and cheered up and said, "My son obeys the order."

After saying goodbye to Li Shimin, Chen Zhengtai exclaimed, but Li Chengqian said happily: "What are you eating today?"

Chen Zhengtai was seriously slapped: "Please respect yourself, junior brother."

Li Chengqian smiled and couldn't help but say, "I just saw you and Master Kong quarrel. I really admire you. Master Kong has always been eloquent, but why does he always seem powerless when he comes to you?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Do you want to know?"

"Think." Li Chengqian nodded seriously. He felt that this was a craft and there was no harm in learning it.

"When you meet a person like Kong Gong, he has strong thinking ability and is well-read poetry. If you really talk to you about the past and present, ten people like me will not be his opponents. Therefore, to argue with him, the first thing you need to do is to stay awake and calm enough. You must understand where his advantages lies and what your weakness is. If you understand this, that is to find his weakness, and then use this weakness to stimulate him severely. Once he is stimulated, he will not be able to remain calm. At that time, you don't have to do anything, and you will find that he will reveal his flaws and send countless handles to your hands."

"Exciting?" Li Chengqian nodded in a vague way, as if... this is a good way.

Chen Zhengtai wanted to laugh in his heart. In fact, this method is very useful. Many amazing people on weekdays, once they are stimulated, they start to speak without a word and finally speak a bunch of nonsense. In the keyboard world of later generations, they become jokes that can make everyone laugh at for three days and three nights. On the Internet, I don’t know how many people who are hypocritical on weekdays are skinned because of losing their minds. These... are the only things left to play in later generations.

Li Chengqian said with an excited look on his face: "In this way, can I use this trick to deal with my father?"

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "As long as the junior brother is not afraid of death."

On that day, I had dinner with Li Chengqian and ate some rice wine brewed from this era during the meal!

To be honest, Chen Zhengtai was not satisfied with the wine of this era. He had a better way to make wine, but Chen Zhengtai didn't want to take it out. The wine was too strong, and the Tang people were addicted to alcohol. If they really wanted to make trouble, God knew how much trouble would cause.

Li Chengqian likes to drink, but this guy can even get drunk with rice wine. When he gets drunk, he insists that Chen Zhengtai find a woman for him. Chen Zhengtai wants to beat him, so he holds the pillar, like a koala, with his head tilted and snoring.

The next morning, the morning mist was together.

The sound of reading sounds sounded throughout the school.

The people in the training class in the school were studying, but under the wall outside the school, there were also dense crowds of people gathered.

They consciously carried the textbooks and curled up under the wall as usual!

They were pressing their ears against the wall and flipping through books with one hand, looking for what to teach today's training class.

It was still early at this time, so the morning dew was very heavy. If it was not good, the dew might wet the book. Therefore, their bodies were almost curled up and their heads deliberately covered the book. Only in this way can they protect the book in their hands.

These dense people are spectacular. Some of them are wearing work clothes that are on night shifts, while others are not covered with their bodies, and their exposed skin is shaking because of the cold wind in the morning.

But just such a group of people were all holding their ears at this time.

Deng Jian is one of them. He came across a lesson he was going to teach today. This lesson is very important. There are some things he cannot understand. If he neglects it, it will be bad. The content in the future... may not be understood.

So he covered his ears, and listened carefully against the wall!

The sound of the lecture is sometimes high and sometimes low. Deng Jian quickly gestured in the sand on the ground with his other hand and recorded it to facilitate the absorption and understanding after class. If he didn't understand it, he silently made a mark in the text and then found a way to ask other people for advice.

It was very cold, and he had already started working in the middle of the night, so his eyes were yellow because of staying up late, and the whites of his eyes were covered with blood, but at this moment... he was very energetic.

There is no one in the school to drive me away.

The few gentlemen who went to teach were all disciples of Chen Zhengtai and Li Yi’s mansion. In addition, some people were hired.

Everyone likes to listen to Li Yifu’s lectures because this person who always smiles is not only very kind in the past, but Li Yifu also seems to be very considerate of these people outside the classroom. So every time he gives a lecture, he deliberately raises his voice very high, so... it will make Deng Jian and others listen more clearly.

But Mr. Hao Chujun and others are different. They don’t understand the feelings of people outside and do not have such awareness.

So Deng Jian and others divided the gentlemen into many kinds. Although they had not entered the school, they already knew every gentleman well. They called Li Yi Mansion Li Shanshi, and Li Yi Mansion himself did not expect that he would become a great charity.

Hao Chujun was not very lucky. He was called Hao Shuxing, which means listening to his class and going to the execution ground.

At this early morning, I didn’t eat breakfast, my stomach was empty and I was rumbling. The ordinary common people of the Tang Dynasty had two meals a day, one meal at morning and evening. Many people were reluctant to eat too early, for fear of being hungry at noon, so everyone endured it desperately.

When Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian left the school the next day, they looked at the densely packed young men outside the school walls, and even occasionally mixed with a few middle-aged men!

Li Chengqian showed surprise and couldn't help but talk: "Who are these people? Gu Zhen didn't expect that there were so many ulterior motives outside. Thinking of going to bed here last night, I still feel scared now."

"They are here to study." Chen Zhengtai glanced at these focused people. No one noticed himself. Everyone stared at the textbook, his ears pressed against the wall, and he was afraid that he would make a subtle sound, pulling something down.

Chen Zhengtai said again: "Junior brother, let's not make noise here. If you quarrel at them, I will not be able to guarantee your highness's safety at that time."

Li Chengqian wanted to shout loudly, "Dare they think that they are vegetarians?"

However, he was quickly dragged away by Chen Zhengtai, and even if he wanted to brag about it, he would have no chance.

While walking, Li Chengqian thought of another important thing and said, "What are you going to do today? Gu doesn't want to go back to the East Palace. Master Kong is afraid that he will be angry now, so he will have to complain in front of Gu at that time."

Obviously, Chen Zhengtai had already made arrangements: "Go to build a blast furnace."

"Blast furnace?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

"It's something that can melt copper and iron. My junior brother forgot it. My mentor is very kind and has made the county my fief. I need to build a blast furnace. Then you can wait and see. It's time for my Chen family to make a fortune."

Li Chengqian muttered, "What does it have to do with me if you make a fortune?"

"Don't say that." Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "Isn't it a gratifying thing for your senior brother to make a fortune?"

Li Chengqian was curious about what this blast furnace looked like, but he asked to ride a horse to see it, and Chen Zhengtai immediately rejected it!
