Chapter 1057 There are some subtle changes
After listening to Feng Shanchang’s inspiring speech, the students who originally came here to make contributions became even more excited.
Among the students who started to march towards Chang'an City, some even started singing loudly:
The harsh wind blows the frost and the grass withers,
The muscles are strong and strong, and the horse is arrogant.
Han warriors numbered 300,000,
The general also led Huo and Yao.
…
Someone took the lead, and everyone sang along: "The white feathers of meteors are inserted into the waist, the swords, flowers and autumn lotus light come out of the box..."
The number of people is only two hundred, but the high morale is like the vitality blooming in the spring. Even the civilians in the distance can't help but look over.
Feng Junhou watched them off with a smile on his face.
“Practice is the most important thing and ostentation is the most important thing.” It’s easy to say this, but it’s very difficult to actually do it.
Otherwise, just look at Cao Wei.
From the beginning of Cao Rui's wife, he has mentioned "avoid flashy". Cao Rui even did not hesitate to offend the rich and powerful, and caused a major flashy case.
If I remember correctly, after Cao Rui's death, Cao Shuang immediately re-employed those powerful children of the aristocratic families who were implicated in the flashy case.
After three generations, none of the three generations have been able to get rid of the so-called glitz. In the end, they ended up in a situation where the individual was extinct and the government ceased.
This is why Feng Yong chose to take the most difficult path, preferring to select talents from among the disciples of Cangtou Qianshou and train them himself.
He is also unwilling to choose those children from aristocratic families who seem to be more helpful to him from the beginning.
A great man once said: After the political line is determined, cadres are the decisive factor.
Feng Yong hopes that these students in Tsing Yi will remember the promises they made today during the three years they take the exam.
Don’t avoid the tedious work at the grassroots level, forget your original intention, and lose your due vitality.
Watching the students begin to enter the city, Feng Junhou also walked down from the mound, preparing to follow the team back.
“It’s rare for you to send students here in person this time, but what do you want to tell me?”
Looking back at Wei Rong who was following him step by step, Feng Junhou asked with his hands behind his back.
Wei Rong glanced at Secretary Zhang who was following Feng Junhou with some embarrassment, and said:
“It’s been too long since I’ve seen the mountains grow, so…”
Feng Junhou sneered and interrupted him directly:
“Speak human words, and if you don’t say it again, you won’t say it again.”
Wei Rong was startled and quickly stopped speaking. After a while, he answered carefully:
“My mother is worried about you, so I asked the students to take this opportunity to come over and see how you are doing.”
"General Zhenbei? He is very good. I have asked him to lead the troops to pacify Shangdang. News came a few days ago that he has crossed the east of the river."
Feng Junhou said calmly:
“So if you come here this time, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to see him.”
"As long as you are in good health, Sir." Wei Rong did not dare to say more, so he could only mention another matter, "Before I set off, I also received a letter from my brother from Guanzhong."
“The letter asks the disciple to find a way for his nephew at home to see if he has a chance to enter the college to study.”
Hearing this, Feng Junhou looked back at him.
Wei Rong is the acting mountain director of the college. He has many mobile quotas on hand every year. It is not a big deal to allocate a college quota to his nephew (that is, Wei Chang's son).
But he mentioned this matter alone, not to show his fairness and selflessness, but to imply something else.
Feng Yong was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Does your family know about this?"
Wei Rong nodded quickly: "I know, my lord wrote to my mother about this, and my mother told me personally."
Feng Yong did not speak immediately.
So before Wei Yan set out, he sent Wei Chang to show his favor in disguise, and it wasn't just because of Shangdang's military exploits?
After walking forward for a while, he finally spoke:
“Go back and tell your mother that General Wei was promoted by the late emperor and he has a long history of military exploits.”
"As long as he doesn't make mistakes, no one will bother him, so don't worry too much."
It is said that one day brings a hundred days of kindness to a husband.
Wei Rong's mother-in-law has been in the Wei Mansion for more than ten years. Over the years, Wei Yan has treated her well.
To say that there is no emotion between the two of them after sleeping together for so long is to deceive oneself and others.
Feng Junhou kept Wei Rong by his side because of his talent.
Maybe he didn't want to prevent his mother from falling in love with Wei Yan for a long time and completely getting out of his control.
The pillows that have been used for so many years have been blown down by the wind, and even pebbles can be blown under the bed.
Not to mention the benefits that Wei Rong may bring to the Wei family, as well as the huge temptation of adding military merit.
Even an aloof person like Wei Yan could not escape the plot of King Feng Gui in the end.
“Thank you sir!”
Wei Rong is not a fool. His husband's words are nothing more than a promise.
He quickly bowed deeply.
Feng Junhou did not look back, but walked forward with his hands behind his back, his tone was calm:
“What are you thanking me for? Why should we be so divided between you and me?”
“The so-called Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth, since I am your husband, can I still watch you get into trouble and ignore it?”
After Wei Rong got up, he quickly ran after him:
“It’s my disciple’s fault.”
Feng Junhou then turned around and glanced at him:
"You just help me keep a good eye on the college. That is my greatest gratitude. If you leave the college without permission this time and cause any problems there, let's see how I punish you."
Hearing his husband mention this matter, Wei Rong seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, he looked at Secretary Zhang again, but hesitated to speak.
His expression happened to fall into the eyes of Feng Junhou who was about to turn his head.
Is something really wrong?
“It won’t be long before you have to call Mrs. Zhang, just say it.”
Hearing what Feng Junhou said, Secretary Zhang glanced sideways at Wei Rong.
Good boy, so you were worried about me just now?
I didn’t know that I even gave birth to your junior brother?
This is really unreasonable!
Wei Rong felt nervous when Mrs. Zhang glanced at her like this.
“Well, sir, this disciple is here because he really has something related to the academy that he wants to tell you.”
"explain."
“When the student passed through Nanzheng, His Majesty called the student into the palace and specifically asked about the college. At the same time, he also asked the student to bring a message to the teacher.”
“It is said that in the past few years, more and more students have been sent from various places, so the palace would like to ask Sir if he should expand the college and set up a few more supervisors to help the students.”
After listening to Wei Rong's words, it was Feng Junhou's turn to look askance at Zhang Xiaosi.
Isn’t it your job to spread the word about this kind of thing? Why did the palace directly ask my disciples to spread the message? Isn't this an obvious way to bully him?
Zhang Xiaosi rolled his eyes at Feng Junhou:
Then you have to contact me! Fortunately, a few days ago I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to cope with it, so I was desperately rushing from Liangzhou to Guanzhong!
He is so heartless!
Although he said this, Zhang Xiaosi actually complained a little in his heart that his sister was a little too anxious about her appearance.
Even if the prime minister dies, the royal family is ready to take over power.
But after all, the college has a royal name, and the headmaster of the college is still your brother-in-law. Are you still worried about someone snatching it away?
While she was frowning, Feng Junhou slowly spoke:
"The college should indeed be expanded. I remember that when Xu Gong (Xu Ci) begged the emperor to restore the Imperial College, he once said: There are more than 30,000 imperial students in the Imperial College of the Later Han Dynasty."
“I don’t say that the college can have 30,000 students. Even if it is only 30% or 10,000 people, I don’t have to worry about not having manpower to help me every day.”
Hearing Feng Junhou's words, Zhang Xiaosi's brows relaxed and he glanced at his Alang gratefully.
"And now that Guanzhong has been recovered, the Royal Academy will probably move to Chang'an in the future, and it will not be possible to stay in Nanxiang forever."
Feng Junhou pointed to Chang'an City in front of him and said:
"It just so happens that you are here this time. Take this opportunity to carve out a good place in the city and occupy a good position for the future college."
Hearing his husband say this, Wei Rong couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
“For such good things, one must first stick to one’s own people.”
After passing the city gate, before Feng Junhou asked Wei Rong to be taken down to rest, he once again told him not to forget this matter.
Then he and Secretary Zhang returned to the government office.
After returning to the house, Secretary Zhang became very well-behaved and took the initiative to massage Feng Junhou's shoulders regardless of fatigue.
Feng Junhou closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, and patted the place next to him:
"You don't have to work too hard to do this, just sit down first."
Zhang Xingyi carefully raised his head and saw that there was no unpleasant look on Feng Junhou's face, so he carefully sat down next to him.
“Alang, this is the first time I’ve heard of this, so I really didn’t know anything about it beforehand.”
Hearing that Zhang Xiaosi's tone was not right, Feng Junhou opened his eyes and saw her sitting upright with her legs together, showing a rare obedient look.
Made him laugh:
“What are you doing?”
“Isn’t Alang angry about the college affairs?”
“Why can I be angry? But it’s true that I feel a little unhappy.”
Feng Junhou sighed: "But then again, today is very different from the past. Times have changed!"
“In the past, the Han Dynasty only had one state, and this school only provided various administrative services to the Xinghan Society.”
"But after the Han Dynasty regained Liangzhou, unless it relied on the powerful families from various places, the court would not have enough manpower to appoint officials from various places."
“So taking exams to select talents has become a matter of course. And students who come out of the academy can be considered to have a formal future.”
"And this time we have taken over Bingzhou, Hedong and Guanzhong. Even if we send out all the students from the college, it won't be enough."
"After the renovation, it will be returned to the old capital. If this college wants to replace the former Taixue and provide talents for the country, expansion is imperative."
"Under this situation, if I still control the college and the students who come out of it regard me as their teacher, then won't all the officials in the world be my disciples?"
“This is a way to die, and it must not be done.”
The most ruthless emperor's family.
The emperor was so cruel that he would even kill his father, son, and brothers, let alone his brother-in-law—although Adou might not be so cruel and crazy.
But Feng Junhou’s ambition was not to be in the position of having three thousand beauties in the harem.
“As long as the examination and talent selection can be made into a national policy and scholars all over the world can have a fair and just way to advance to the next level, I will have no regrets even if I am not the head of this college!”
As the saying goes, only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.
The purpose of opening a school was to poach the corners of wealthy families in feudal society.
Now that he has the opportunity to completely break the intellectual monopoly of the powerful family, how could Feng Junhou give up halfway?
The royal family is now its natural ally.
But if he clings to the academy and refuses to let go, I won’t tell you what the royal family will think of him.
If it were Feng Junhou himself, he would at least settle for the second best and support another party to compete with the college students, or even suppress the college students.
So, whoever wants the academy to die most is the most likely to become its enemy.
What’s more, things are not that serious now.
It’s not that you have to give up the position of mountain chief, it’s just adding a school supervisor.
And also communicate with myself privately in advance.
As the emperor, Adou's attitude is enough.
The most important thing is that if the royal family regards the academy as its own territory, the students who come out of the academy will become the main force in the selection of talents.
Even if the royal family offends many aristocratic families, they will continue to implement this system.
After all, in the eyes of the emperor, students from the Royal Academy are his direct descendants!
Feng Junhou’s thoughts are hidden deep in his heart.
Except for General Guan, who can vaguely guess a few things, no one in the world knows.
Hearing this man's remarks, Zhang Xiaosi thought that he was selfless and devoted himself to the country, and he couldn't help but feel excited at the moment.
I couldn't help but sit on him, put my arms around his neck, spoke softly, and breathed a sweet fragrance on my tongue:
“Alang, you are so kind!”
Feng Junhou was proud of the body-building technique that General Guan asked from the goddess of heaven. He had to practice it every day and take the medicine internally and externally.
At this time, spring is coming again, and it is the season when all things flourish and revive.
Feng Junhou's yang energy could not be suppressed no matter how hard he was.
General Pianguan went to Tongguan for inspection these days, but Zhang Xiaosi took advantage of such a big loophole.
Feeling the richness on his thighs, Feng Junhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his hands were already a little unruly.
Zhang Xingyi saw that this man was like a lewd demon, and she patted his hand coquettishly:
“I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
“You speak, I listen!”
“I was actually thinking about this just now. I’m afraid the palace has other thoughts about expanding the academy.”
“What other thoughts?”
Feng Junhou asked casually.
He no longer has the mind to care about what is going on in the palace.
At any rate, we are mentally prepared, so no matter how much the royal family thinks about it, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
His thoughts at this time were mostly focused on the feeling of his hands.
The beauty of a wife is indescribable!
Cao Ren’s wife is a playful person.
Zhang Xingyi's face blushed slightly, and his tone was a little hasty:
“Alang also said outside that even if we bring all the students from the college here, it won’t be enough at this time.”
“So for this expansion, the palace probably wants to recruit more students.”
Feng Junhou still didn't understand: "If we want to expand, we must expand enrollment. What's wrong?"
“Do you understand or not?” Zhang Xingyi said angrily, pulling away King Feng’s ghost claws, “Where do the students for the expanded enrollment come from? Is it possible that they all have to be selected from schools in various places?”
Hearing this, King Feng Gui finally stopped his hands.
“What do you mean by Xijun’s words?”
“You’re so stupid! Do you think that Wei Yan’s decision to let his grandson enter the academy was all his own?”
This time Feng Junhou even froze up.
“Sister, I’m testing you. If you are willing to allow Wei Yan’s grandson to be admitted to the academy, will it be possible for the other nobles of the Han Dynasty to sit back and watch?”
“And those aristocratic families, do they really want their children never to enter the court?”
Feng Junhou’s brows suddenly frowned.
"Alang, you also said that times have changed. The Han Dynasty now has all the advantages of physical victory in the world. The Han Dynasty has prospered three times, and everyone in the world is a fool."
“Since the examination and selection of talents is the general trend in the Han Dynasty, everyone will flock to the academy in the future. The royal family must balance the forces of all parties, and it must also allow the children of all parties to enter.”
When Feng Junhou heard this, he felt a little chilly.
**** it!
People who play politics have really dark hearts!
Thinking of this, he squeezed the tenderness in his palm.
Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but groan: “You hurt me!”
Just at this moment, the door of the room opened with a creak, and a little head with a combed horn poked in:
“Sir, did you hit Aunt Zhang again?”
Then a small hand stretched out and pinched his ear, and both voices rang outside at the same time:
“Shut up, I told you not to disturb the adults and Aunt Zhang!”
Ah Chong's head was taken away, and his unconvinced voice came from outside: "If you don't let go! I'll beat you!"
Then there was a "bang bang bang" sound.
“Sister, I was wrong, please spare my life, please help me...”
Feng Junhou and Secretary Zhang looked at each other speechlessly as they listened to the bustle outside.
Feng Junhou squeezed his hands subconsciously.
Secretary Zhang suddenly became angry and said: "You are a disciple!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly got off Feng Junhou. At the same time, he did not forget to hit Feng Guiwang, and then began to tidy up his somewhat messy clothes.
Feng Junhou was stunned for a long time and rubbed his fingers subconsciously. Where was the softness just now?
PS: I will go to another city to visit my father-in-law tomorrow, so I may not be able to update. (The author is overjoyed that he can finally be lazy for a day.)
