Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Du Yan thought about this question seriously, but still couldn't figure it out.

However, at this time Li You said: "The day before yesterday, when I was tidying up the Yin family's mansion, I accidentally found a relic belonging to my grandfather. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be related to Du Shangshu."

"So, this time I brought it specially and returned it to Dushang!"

Hearing this, Du Yan was also a little surprised.

When he was in the Sui Dynasty, he always felt that he was a soft-spoken person. Although he was full of admiration for the powerful Yin Shishi at that time, he didn't have a deep friendship.

At this time, he suddenly heard that there was something left for him, and he was still a little panicked.

Soon, Du Yan took what Li You had brought out.

This is a letter, looking at the envelope and paper, it is indeed quite old.

"My grandfather did not open the letter to Du Shangshu."

"I don't know if after reading Du Shang's book, let someone tell the content, and let me know more about my grandfather."

Hearing this, Du Yan naturally understood the meaning of Li You's words, and said, "Wait a moment, King Chu, this is Lord Yin's relic. After I have seen it, I will return it to you."

After finishing speaking, Du Yan opened the letter in front of Li You.

Excited heart, trembling hands.

When Du Yan opened it, his expression changed.

In this letter, it was Yin Shishi's full expectations for Du Yan.

Judging from the tone of the letter, it was written by Master Yin when he knew that Chang'an would be compromised in the near future.

I don't know why, and it didn't reach my own hands.

Yin Shishi felt that Du Yan's stay in Yushitai was actually a burial of his talent. He felt that Du Yan had an extraordinary talent in knowing people, and no matter what happened in the future, he should go to the Imperial Academy to train talents for the court.

He also said that as long as Du Yan can calm down and stay in the Guozijian for three to five years, he should enter the Ministry of Officials and continue to select officials for the court.

Then there were many words of encouragement in the letter, encouraging him to speak out his thoughts boldly, no matter what kind of king he was facing, he should not bury his true heart.

At this moment, Du Yan only felt that every sentence in the letter from Master Yinshi had been written in his heart.

He felt that the truth that he only realized after wandering around half his life was discovered by others back then.

He regretted why he hadn't read the letter earlier.

Seeing the change in Du Yan's expression, Li You explained in a timely manner: "Du Shangshu also knew that the speed of breaking the city exceeded most people's imagination. After the city was broken, what happened to the Yin family prevented many letters from being sent in time. go out."

Du Yan nodded heavily, and said with a light smile, "Thank you, King Chu, I feel extremely ashamed to be able to read this letter now."

"I'm really ashamed of Mr. Yin's love for me."

After speaking, Du Yan returned the letter to Li You.

Li You took the letter and read it pretendingly.

【What else is there to read? I wrote this letter. 】

[Although it is pretending to be grandpa's tone, it is also for the future of Datang. 】

[Grandpa is benevolent and loyal, so he will definitely not blame me!I will definitely praise me, well done. 】

The paper of this letter was indeed found in the old house of the Yin family. After analyzing Du Yan's psychology, Li You boldly wrote this letter.

Seeing that the effect of the letter was beyond his expectation, Li You almost couldn't hold back his smug smile.

After pretending to read the letter, Li You also said with emotion: "Du Shangshu is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which also confirms the assertion of my grandfather back then."

"Du Shangshu has now recommended many good talents for Datang. My grandfather should also feel relieved to be under the Nine Springs!"

After reading the letter, Du Yan's original resentment towards Li You had long since dissipated. Now, seeing Li You only feels joy, and the more he reads it, the more he likes it.

Hearing Li You's praise, Du Yan kept saying that he was ashamed.

Li You naturally struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Du Shangshu must know about this king's new learning, and I would like to ask Du Shangshu to teach me a thing or two."

The matter of Xinxue is actually the root of Du Yan's resentment towards Li You.

But now, after Du Yan changed his view of Li You, his attitude towards Xinxue has also become very different.

In fact, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Du Yan has always attached great importance to the Guozijian, which transports younger officials.

He also paid special attention to Li You's new study.

This time the new school started, and there were some Du family members among them, and Du Yan also summoned these people to come to question him many times.

In all fairness, Du Yan has seen a lot of bright spots in the new learning, and he feels that these may bring breakthrough changes to Datang in the future.

But at the same time, Du Yan also had some opinions on the new learning.

The most common of these opinions is that the knowledge is too complicated, although it is novel but not deep.

He thinks it is like the Four Books and Five Classics. In fact, it is difficult for many people to understand the mysteries of it after studying it all their lives.

After Li You asked sincerely, Du Yan put forward his own idea.

Li You nodded sincerely, affirming Du Yan's concern.

Then Li You said in a deep voice: "Has Du Shangshu thought about what kind of officials the Tang Dynasty needs?"

"Can someone who just studies one way really be able to be independent in the local area?"

As soon as this question came out, Du Yan stopped asking.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, this is actually the question that Du Yan thinks about the most.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that different positions actually require different talents.

This is the principle that people make the best use of their talents and things make the best use of them.

As far as most grassroots officials are concerned, it is not necessary to have too deep attainments in the Four Books and Five Classics, it is enough to educate ordinary people.

For them, in fact, what they need most is not only a heart that loves the people like a child, but also the ability to deal with various problems in life.

This ability is an understanding of local conditions and customs, a familiarity with hydrogeography, and an insight into the changes of the four seasons.

In fact, all these things were not learned in the Imperial College before.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the variety of courses in the new school, Du Yan understood it in an instant.

Xinxue is not a school, but a training ground for low-level officials.

"The king of Chu really appreciates it!"

"From this point of view, all grassroots officials in Datang should go to Xinxue to learn!"

Li You didn't expect Du Yan to be so upbeat.

But since Du Yan already had such an awareness, he followed Du Yan's words.

"Du Shangshu's words coincide with this king's, but in actual operation, there is a big difficulty."

At this moment, all Du Yan was thinking about was how to quickly get grassroots officials from all over the country to come and learn. When he heard a question, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with King Chu?"

"If there is anything that can be used by the minister, the minister, the official department and the Du family will definitely support it with all their strength."

In a word, Du Yan involved Jingzhao Du's family.

Li You waited for this statement, and immediately said: "Du Shangshu also knows that the new school is now in the Shence Mansion, not only because of its small scale, but if grassroots officials from all over the country come to the Shence Mansion, there will probably be rumors and rumors." Immediately spread the word..."

Before Li You finished speaking, Du Yan had already understood.

Suddenly Du Yan laughed out loud.
