Chapter 898 Xiao Jia, who are these people
The celebration banquet of the Jia family was naturally delicious, but the purpose of the crowd was not just for the food, but also to focus on the two children of the old Jia family.
"Mr. Jia, your Da Lang is so heroic, has he ever thought about marriage?"
Jia Pingan brought his boss with him today to study and socialize. Looking at his son's immature face now, he really wants to call a beast, he is still a child!
He shook his head and smiled, and said in a firm tone: "The child is still young, and I don't think about marriage before the age of eighteen."
"Why!"
People kept coming to test his mind.
"Mr. Jia, Ling Ai is so smart, I wish I could take it home and raise it..." An old man said seriously: "The eldest grandson of this old man is honest but not stupid. He is honest and sincere. He is the one who will be the next prince...he is better than Ling Ai. Three years older, the old man thinks it is just right."
hehe!
Jia Pingan shook his head firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but the child is still young, so I don't think about it right now."
Everyone returned in defeat, and Li Chunfeng was also entrusted to ask questions.
"The child is still young, don't think about it."
Li Chunfeng smiled wryly, "This is a request from an old friend of this old man. At that time, this old man said that Xiao Jia loves children, so he would not have arranged a marriage for them early, but these people don't believe it."
Open later.
As the rightful owner, Doudou also showed his side.
She wore new clothes, with a small face, looking extraordinarily dignified...
Fu body first, and then Yun Zhang beside him said something in a low voice, turned around to face his father, and then slowly turned back, walking back in small steps.
Those two wives...
Seeing such a daughter, Jia Pingan couldn't help but have black lines all over her head, knowing that it was taught by two women.
"Sure enough, he is virtuous and virtuous, and he is really knowledgeable and reasonable."
"Look at that little appearance, hey! Poor old man's grandson doesn't have this fate, what a shame!"
"..."
Everyone is full of praise.
"Lang Jun, there are people coming from the palace."
Zhou Shanxiang came to the palace, and said solemnly: "The queen said that Doudou is a good boy, and I must congratulate her on her happy life."
Jia Pingan's eyelids twitched when he saw the congratulatory gift in a carriage, and the guests gasped when they saw it.
"This little lady is deeply loved by Duke Jia. I didn't expect the queen to love her so much, tsk tsk! If someone married her..."
Don't want to work hard anymore!
Doudou returned to the backyard and started having fun.
"The old turtle comes out! Hongyan, where is the old turtle?"
Hongyan pointed to the pool, "Little lady, the old turtle is there!"
The old turtle was sneaking up the pool, but the edge of the pool was very high, and he failed repeatedly.
"Old Turtle!"
Old Gui was struggling with repeated defeats, and when he heard the sound, he fell down, turned around and ran away.
This speed... completely overturned my impression of the turtle jogging.
Old Gui was shocked behind him, and then was dragged over.
"The old turtle is here, let's go find Ah Fu."
There is a banquet outside, and Ah Fu naturally has his own food. It is lying in its own room enjoying itself.
"Ah Fu! Ah Fu!"
Ah Fu’s body shook, and the bamboo in his mouth was no longer fragrant, so he poked his head out and took a look. When he saw the tortoise that was dragging the old turtle over, it screamed...
Baba help me!
Later, swan geese came looking for Doudou, and saw Ah Fu sitting on the side of the threshold, Doudou sat beside Ah Fu leaning against it, feeding it a bite from time to time. Ah Fu also passed his bamboo over from time to time, but Doudou just shook his head. The old tortoise paddled and wanted to run, but Ah Fu just stepped on its back with one hind leg, leaving it helpless.
"Ah Fu, shall we run out later?"
"咱咕咱!"
"Not good! Let's scare the elder brother tonight, shall we?"
"咱咕咱!"
Hongyan smiled and said: "Little lady, Madam let you go."
"Ah Fu, let's go!"
Ah Fu had no choice but to follow along staggeringly.
The old turtle ran away without a trace as if he had received an amnesty.
When I got to the back, I saw dozens of cages piled up in the yard.
Su Ho is instructing the maids to open the box.
"This is a gift from the queen, open it and have a look..."
"Who sent this? The British government? Why did you send a horizontal knife?"
A horizontal knife was placed on top of the box. From the look, it was clearly an old knife.
The maid said: "It is Li Langjun who came to the British government today. He said that the young lady is still young and needs a fierce weapon to deter evil. He has used this horizontal knife for a long time and has killed countless people... It is suitable for the young lady. Hang it in the bedroom to suppress evil spirits."
Soho covered his forehead...
"My husband's horizontal knife also kills countless people. Is it enough to have such a murderous thing at home?"
Wei Wushuang shook his head, "It's Li Langjun's kindness. He and my husband are like brothers. Since my husband has no objection, let's hang on."
After a hearty meal, Jia Ping'an drank too much when he came back, and the two women hurriedly ordered someone to make hangover soup.
"Aniang, I'll get it." DouDou volunteered to go to the kitchen.
"Where's DouDou?"
Jia Pingan asked as he lay down and waved his hands.
Su Ho took off his clothes and said out of breath, "Doudou volunteered to make you hangover soup."
"Good girl! Hahahaha!"
Jia Pingan laughed.
Later, the hangover soup made by my daughter was brought, and Dudou said cautiously: "Aye, drink it quickly."
Jia Pingan sat up with support, took the hangover soup, but fortunately it was kept warm, so he raised his head and went to work.
"Good soup..."
Boom!
Jia Ping'an fell down.
…
In the early morning of the second day, Jia Pingan woke up with a headache.
"Husband woke up?"
Wei Wushuang is dressing up beside him.
"Headache." After the hangover, there was no fragment, and yesterday's events were remembered one by one.
"That hangover soup..."
Wei Wushuang turned his head, "I also took a sip...it tastes...excellent."
Jia Ping'an recalled that smell, and couldn't help feeling that Doudou and his cousin are the same family.
After waking up, Jia Pingan went to see her daughter.
Sleeping around, stretched out, no response at all when called.
Jia Ping'an went to the front yard.
Di Renjie is waiting for him.
"What do you think about what Mr. Xu said yesterday, Ping An?"
Xu Jingzong came to the banquet yesterday and said something incidentally.
"The prestige of the prince is not enough. This time... Although you and the empress took the matter away, those people are not fools. Naturally, they know that the prince's temperament is not suitable for them... If they wait until the time of enthronement, such a How about the emperor?"
Di Renjie's eyes were piercing, "It is well known that the prince is filial to the world, and the empress loves him very much. If there is no mistake, he must be the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But the prince has shown his sharpness too early. Ping An, you are at fault for this matter."
"Afraid of this and that, what are you doing?"
Jia Pingan said contemptuously: "What are those people clamoring for? It's nothing more than that the prince was bewitched by me, so he went on a crooked way. What they didn't say is... If such a prince ascends the throne, will he be decisive? Will he not It will gradually weaken the benefits of those with vested interests..."
Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "The prince is like this, and many people are happy and encouraged, but please don't forget the old things of the Sui Dynasty."
"You mean Emperor Yang of Sui?" Jia Pingan said confidently, "Emperor Yang did many things wrong. He had a good intention at the beginning, but his methods were not as good as they used to be. Not to mention, the Grand Canal, the imperial examination, and the conquest of Liaodong... These are all things that benefit the country and the people, but his mistake is that he was too impatient."
"It's right to seize the day and night, but you have to look at the timing." Jia Pingan chuckled and said, "You don't know how I teach the prince, Huaiying, believe me, you will see a completely different prince and emperor in the future, An emperor who will surprise and delight you!"
"What did you teach the prince?"
Di Renjie said in surprise: "Ping An, what will the empress do? You are stroking a tiger's beard!"
"I've even touched a tiger's butt, I'm afraid it's going to suck!"
Jia Ping'an burped, and the smell of alcohol made him retch.
"Everyone wants to be stable, Huaiying, do you know what this stability means?" Jia Pingan said with piercing eyes: "This stability means solidifying the class. The powerful will always be the powerful, the officials will always be the officials, and the common people will always be the common people... go Damn, I don't believe in this evil, so I have to move."
The imperial examination is like Aunt Wang's foot wrap at the moment, it is long and smelly, it seems to be enlightened, but look at those people in the middle examination, mother, how many ordinary people are there?
“Education First!”
In the palace, Jia Ping'an and the prince were talking alone.
Cao Yingxiong and others are muttering... This has never happened before, Jia Pingan is teaching the prince alone.
"The so-called education is to try to make as many people as possible able to read, and the people will be able to understand after reading, and it will be difficult for those powerful officials to coax them."
"The second is the imperial examination. Prince, you have to remember that when all the important officials in the temple come from extraordinary backgrounds, the country will be in danger."
"Why?" Li Hong was curious.
"Because those people represent only the interests of a small group of them, not the interests of the world, let alone the interests of Datang..."
Later, Jia Pingan Shi Shiran slipped away, and Li Hong was called.
The emperor and empress are all there.
Now they are drinking tea leisurely, it seems that today's political affairs are handled well.
Li Zhi pointed to the side, and after the prince sat down, Wang Zhongliang ordered him to serve hot water.
—Children can’t drink tea, this is Jia Ping’an’s explanation.
"What did you learn today?"
Li Zhi asked calmly, and Wu Mei smiled calmly... Just ask if you want to, pretending not to care.
Li Hong said: "Uncle said a lot today..."
Li Hong obviously didn't understand some of Jia Ping'an's words, "...the Tang Dynasty will be in danger when the court is full of high-born ministers. Those people represent only the interests of a small group of people, not the people of the world and the Tang Dynasty. Interests."
Wu Mei closed her eyes, "Aristocratic families, rich and powerful, all are the scourge of the country."
Li Zhi was worried that Jia Ping'an was teaching something too radical, so he ordered the prince to question him after hearing the news. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Who doesn't want to solve those problems, but who has solved this problem since the beginning of history. The key is that the powerful families and the rich and powerful have always been weeds. If you get rid of a group, the new ones will follow in the same footsteps, and there is no way to stop them.
"Uncle said that education should be promoted to make the people smarter, so that it will be difficult for those powerful officials to coax them. If the people can afford to read, the imperial examination should be regarded as a channel for the people to go up. Noble people are monopolized..."
Imperial examination... It's hard to describe!
The former Sui Dynasty created the imperial examination as a sharp weapon to deal with the aristocratic family and the powerful, but in the end it became a mere formality... If it does not solve the problem of education for the common people, the imperial examination will only become a carnival for the children of the powerful.
"Uncle also said that the common people can form checks and balances with those people when they come up to be officials. Checks and balances are very important, and it is not good for the common people to be officials... I am afraid they are more greedy than those people.
Aristocratic families and powerful families cannot be destroyed. If you use those people to destroy them, those people will turn into new aristocratic families and powerful families... As long as people have desires, such forces cannot be destroyed.
Thus, those people can only be controlled, and cannot be eliminated. Once they are eliminated, and the humble family is in charge of the government, they will form a group for their own benefit. At that time, a group that is more dangerous than the aristocratic family will appear..."
Li Hong was a little puzzled, "Aristocratic families and emperors can form a check and balance, but the poor family group is a fertilizer sharing system... They will divide up the benefits of the country, and they will become a new family, a new powerful. Once they become a family and Tyrant and powerful, he is more ruthless to the common people than the original ones..."
Dragon slayers tend to become more vicious and greedy after becoming a dragon.
"So don't trust any side, check and balance."
Li Zhi felt a little melancholy.
"Is there even the study of emperors in the new school?"
There was a trace of temptation in these words, Wu Mei felt some danger, but she was very relieved.
Sure enough, Ping An is still that boy, and he can say such things to Goro... It can be seen that he regards Goro as a relative.
Wu Mei glanced at him, "If Ping An had the heart, he wouldn't tell Wulang what he said. Does Your Majesty still remember the fate of those emperors? But most of the emperors who believe in a certain force end up miserable in the end."
Li Hong nodded, "Aniang, uncle said that people have desires. The more you label yourself as a gentleman and flawless courtier, the more you have to be wary of him. It's best to kick him out...Because people can't be trusted, so checks and balances are needed."
"People can't be trusted...Meiniang, he actually taught the prince such a naked person..."
Li Zhi was a little angry, "Goro is still a child!"
Wu Mei was thoughtful, "In the past, Ping An always said that Goro was still young, and he wanted to let him know the beauty of the world and look forward to the future...but why did he change?"
The emperor and empress looked at each other.
"It's this time." Li Zhiming realized, "This time Goro's words shocked the whole Tang Dynasty, and almost triggered a big crisis. As a prince... naivete is a sin, he understands now."
Wu Mei nodded, "As a prince, you still think about the innocence and sincerity between people. This is a dead end...he just understands."
For a long time, Jia Pingan has always been a supporter of children not being too restrained, but after arguing with Gao Yang about the direction of his son's education, he found that he was wrong.
That's why I had a conversation with the prince.
"It's an interesting idea to let the people become a sharp weapon to check and balance the powerful and powerful families." Li Zhi said lightly: "I appreciate what he said more... If the people become officials, their greed will be even more jaw-dropping than those people..."
"That's why the emperor wants to check and balance all parties." Wu Mei was happy in her heart, "Ping An has finally grown up."
Li Zhi nodded, "In the past, he was always a little... Let me think that this young man is full of vigor, but he is a little reckless, and even a little taken for granted. Now he has grown up."
"It is so difficult to let the common people read books!"
Li Zhi pondered for a long time.
"One is the gentleman. There are good and bad teachers in the prefectural and county schools below, and the students who are taught... are hard to describe! This is also one of the reasons why the common people cannot compete with the children of those aristocratic families in the imperial examination.
The second is that people can’t afford to read books. Although many people praise that today is a prosperous age, the people just have enough to eat, and let their children go to school... How to calculate the tuition? How to calculate the four treasures of the study when buying books? I can't read it! "
Li Hong sat there, but his eyes were brighter.
"Aye, nothing is difficult in this world."
Li Zhi couldn't help being happy, "Goro is optimistic."
…
Master Jia dawdled for a few days, and finally arrived at the Princess Mansion today.
"I have met Mr. Lang."
Qian Er was wearing a cloak made of unknown fur, his face was greasy, and he was smiling.
"The... is the princess here?"
Jia Ping'an asked very calmly.
But in Qian Er's eyes, there was something wrong with his calmness.
Princess has been stern for several days!
"Yes, yes, the princess said later that it was for viewing flowers."
It's getting cold today, where are the flowers?
Jia Ping'an entered the backyard, and the maid was overjoyed to see him.
Am I handsome again recently?
Jia Pingan touched his face, Xiao Ling came.
"Lang Jun, the princess... is in a bad mood these days."
Jia Pingan looked at her face, but did not see any welt marks.
"Didn't smoke you?"
Xiao Ling was ashamed, "Your Majesty's words... I don't know how to answer!"
Has Gao Yang cultivated himself? congratulations! Jia Pingan smiled, and then passed.
Gao Yang and the child were sitting outside, with drawing paper spread out on a desk, and Gao Yang was teaching the child to draw.
"To draw a cow, there must be grass. Take a look at this Niu Dalang...isn't it very annoying?"
Li Shuo: "..."
"Aniang, this cow is very interesting."
Gao Yang gritted his teeth in his voice, "What's so interesting? This cow is an ugly cow, it should be beaten!"
Slap!
As soon as the brush was drawn down, tears filled Li Shuo's eyes, "Aniang, my cow..."
Gao Yang said awkwardly: "Aniang will draw another cow for you..."
"I want that end!"
That cow is talking about me, right?
Gao Yang gritted his teeth and wanted to squeeze the cow dry...
"Ahem!"
Xiao Ling coughed dryly.
Li Shuo turned around and pursed his lips, "Aye, Auntie lost my cow."
"Let me see."
Li Shuo rarely showed a weak side, Jia Pingan came over with a straight face and took a look.
There is a cow on the drawing paper, and the painting is quite vivid, at least much better than master Jia who painted the cow in four different shapes.
The cow was ugly with a heavy ink smear from head to tail.
"Outrageous!"
Jia Ping'an said with a cold face, "If the child wants to draw, he should draw well. What kind of ugly cow is it? Is the cow ugly?"
Li Shuo shook his head, "Aye, I haven't looked at the cow properly yet!"
The opportunity came...
Gao Yang, this woman, kept her face cold, which showed that the remaining anger was still there.
And if you want to find a breakthrough... Apart from shaking your butt, you have to go out.
"Aye will take you out of town to see."
Jia Ping'an glanced at Gao Yang, the woman was still cold-faced.
Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "Da Lang goes to change clothes first..."
Li Shuo went obediently.
After changing his clothes, he wanted to find his parents, but the maid said, "Young Lord, wait a little longer."
What are you waiting for?
Parent and mother came out later, father looked more decadent, reminded Li Shuo of his exhaustion after running wildly once, mother looked very happy...
After preparing something to eat and drink, the three of them went out surrounded by crowds.
The weather today is good, the sun is good, the autumn wind is blowing slightly cool, it is the most suitable for traveling.
When approaching the city gate, Jia Ping'an saw Wang Kuan...
Old Wang looked refreshed, and there were actually a few women accompanying him... At first glance, they looked like prostitutes.
"Jia Pingan!"
Wang Kuan saw Jia Ping'an as if he saw his deadly enemy. When he thought of Guozijian's collapse because of this person, Wang Kuan wished he could turn into a beast and devour him.
"Wang Kuan!"
Jia Pingan said with a smile: "Isn't Xiumu today?"
Is your mother absent from work or absent from work?
Wang Kuan was surrounded by those three Shandong celebrities, and an old man who looked quite respectable.
"These are famous people, and the old man will accompany you."
Wang Kuan sneered.
Gao Yang loosened his hand, lowered his small leather whip, and said impatiently, "Xiao Jia, who are these people?"
Celebrities look like pig liver...
…
Ask for a monthly pass!
