Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 142 I Come to Be the Dean?It seems that it is not impossible

"Don't worry, people are not as stupid as you think."

"Even if you are confused for a while, you will still be able to react in the end."

It is difficult for Li Shimin to trust him, so Li Zhi can only build confidence in him over and over again.

It is indeed very difficult to change your mindset.

After all, years of experience have proved that the combination of imperial power and gentry is the best way to cooperate.

It's not easy to suddenly change one's thinking now.

Li Zhi persuaded a few more words, seeing Li Shimin's expression gradually became firm, he was relieved.

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi asked, "Do you have any other questions? If there is nothing else, Erchen still has something to do at home, so I want to go back and rest."

He has already given sufficient answers to the questions raised by Li Shimin.

If you want to come to the emperor, there should be nothing else.

Li Zhi still wanted to go back to see the little potato he was thinking about, and he was ready to turn around and go back.

But at this moment, I heard Li Shimin say: "It's not for choosing a subject when I asked you here."

Hearing this, Li Zhi was stunned.

???

You didn't want to learn from me, so you said something about the Hammer Academy?

My time is not time, so let’s focus on the key points first, okay?

Li Zhi was speechless. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect it hadn't started yet.

Just as Li Zhi was muttering in his heart, Li Shimin seemed to realize that what he did was not very authentic, so he quickly raised the main question that called him over.

"You also know that the newly opened college is in a downward position in terms of academic status."

"But the newly opened college needs a person of high morals and respect to lead it, so... I thought about who should be sent to take charge of this work?"

The plan is to open an official school for the common people. The problem is that the status of this school is rather embarrassing.

For example, Yu Zhining, a master of academics, or Kong Yingda, who sacrificed wine to the Imperial Academy, would be the dean of the new academy. That would not be appropriate.

There is a sense of killing a chicken with a bull's-eye in it.

But it is not appropriate to say that someone is sent there casually.

The imperial court has to express its importance to the new academy, otherwise how can it attract the common people to study in the new academy?

But this level of attention should not be too much. If people with high morals and prestige are allowed to pass by, it will be too much attention, and it will easily arouse the vigilance of the gentry class.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to find someone who is not too high or low to take up this position.

But the question is who to send?

It's offensive work, and even if it's done well, it won't do any good.

On the contrary, it will end up in a messy situation.

The candidate for the dean of the new college is really tangled.

Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind, so he called Li Zhi over and asked him to help recommend someone to go there.

Li Zhi felt even more tired after hearing this.

This is your job. Why should I waste this thought on your behalf?

If you really can't make up your mind, just pick one of those people whose academic status is not high or low.

If it doesn't work, it's okay to draw lots.

What the hell are you making me worry about?

Complaints are complaints, the problem still has to be solved.

Li Zhi sighed lightly, thought for a while, and replied: "In the eyes of my ministers, Sun Fujia, the Minister of Dali Temple, is a very good candidate. First, he has enough reputation among the people, and he can be changed through the imperial examination. A typical example of fate. Secondly, Sun Fujia's academic status is far inferior to that of Kong Yingda and his ilk, and will not attract the attention of the gentry. Sun Fujia is a very good candidate. Father, please let him go It’s good to have this job.”

Sun Fujia is a senior official who participated in the imperial examination, was the number one scholar and was born in the first place.

It can be said that through the new electoral system, it is a typical example of people coming out ahead.

Let him be the dean of the new college, in Li Zhi's view, it is a perfect choice.

It's just that Li Shimin doesn't seem to think so.

"Sun Aiqing is indeed a good candidate, this cannot be denied."

"What's even more rare is that Sun Aiqing's Dali Siqing happens to be the corresponding yamen of the Ming Law Department."

"If it wasn't for a better candidate, I would indeed consider Sun Aiqing for the job."

"But the problem is, I think there are better candidates than him."

Li Shimin's words were very ambiguous, saying that there was a better candidate, but he refused to reveal a word about this candidate.

The more Li Zhi listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he began to scratch his head anxiously.

"Father, you don't plan to push this son out, do you?"

Who else is more suitable than Sun Fujia?
Except for him, the master planner who proposed this plan, there is no one else!
It turned out that when Li Shimin asked him to come over, he was not asking for his help to make up his mind at all.

Instead, he fell in love with him and planned to push him into this fire pit.

Li Zhi is also convinced. He and Li Shimin are in a father-son relationship. Wouldn't it be good to just say something?
I have to go around in circles, recommending, and asking about subjects that are open to the new school.

From Li Shimin's point of view, this is a test just like a real one.

special!
Li Zhi was also convinced that the relationship between father and son had become like this.

Is it true that the public should be returned to the public, and the private should be returned to the private?
Li Shimin smiled embarrassingly: "Didn't I feel that I owe you a lot, and want to find you a platform to shine? Since you feel that with your current status, you are tied up, unwilling, and dare not Let go of your hands and feet at Yushitai, I will give you a college for you to manage, this can be regarded as a curve to save the country..."

God damn curve to save the country!

I don't have a good grasp of the opening work of the new college, and I want to find a safe person to start the college in a stable manner.

In the end, this also became your kindness?
Li Zhi slandered for a while, but seeing Li Shimin look over expectantly, his heart softened.

"That's fine! You just say yes. Father needs his son to serve you. Can a son still refuse?"

He's really not busy recently, and he doesn't have much to do, so it's no big deal to take over the dean's job.

As for whether it fits or not?
Then there is no need for discussion.

From all aspects, he himself is the best candidate besides Sun Fujia.

As a result, his reputation among the people has spread, and several excellent works have been circulated, which can be regarded as a certain academic reputation.

Furthermore, his age is equally easy to overlook.

On the other hand, he is the main planner of the whole plan, and no one can grasp the scale better than him.

It was a matter of course for him to be competent for this job.

However, Li Zhi didn't want to contribute in vain.

Since you want to be the dean, you have to come up with a roll call.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi put forward his own conditions.
