Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

In the noble guest room of the Su residence, Xiao Jie took the initiative to introduce Tai Shizheng to Su Hong as soon as they met: "Grandfather Yue, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Taishizheng Taishi from Yingchuan County."

Su Hong couldn't help but change his expression when he heard the words: "Your Excellency is the rumored celebrity of Yingchuan County, Tai Shizheng known as 'Wolong'?"

Xiao Jie nodded secretly in his heart, it was good that Su Hong had heard of Tai Shizheng's name, at least he knew that Tai Shizheng's talent and learning would not ruin his reputation, and his chances of winning were more invisible.

Tai Shizheng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately bowed to Su Hong, saying: "Student Tai Shizheng, I have seen Su Pushe."

"Young Master Taishi, you don't need to be too polite." Su Hong chuckled, but secretly admired his grandson-in-law in his heart.

Although he lives in the capital, he has heard of Tai Shizheng's name to some extent. He has always heard that this person has a world-class talent, but he has always been arrogant and indifferent to fame and fortune. Many high-ranking officials have won over, but they are willing to work for Xiao Jie now, and I don't know what method my grandson-in-law used to win him over.

Su Hong exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Jie again, and finally asked Xiao Jie why he came today.

Xiao Jie didn't mean to beat around the bush at all. On the contrary, he straight to the point pointed out his reason for coming this time, that is, he hoped that Su Hong could be named as the dean of Luobei Academy.

He knew too well the temperament of his grandfather-in-law, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. If he beat around the bush and made side attacks, it would be counterproductive.

After Su Hong heard Xiao Jie's intention, he didn't make any statement. He just took the hot tea in front of him and brought it to his lips, but the expression on his face was changing, and his eyes were even more unpredictable.

Both Xiao Jie and Tai Shizheng saw Su Hong's inner difficulties and struggles, and they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and they both chose to remain silent, leaving Su Hong enough space and time to think about it.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in your room was a bit dull and depressing.

At this moment, Su Hong was really in a dilemma. He had served as a priest in the Imperial College for many years, how could he fail to see through Xiao Jie's intention to establish this Luobei Academy, but this was precisely the reason why he was deeply embarrassed.

He had promised that he and the Su family would support Xiao Jie. If he was alone, he would have no scruples, but he is the head of the Su family after all, and he also has to consider the future and destiny of his clansmen.He knew very well in his heart that if he really served as the dean of Luobei Academy, the entire Su family would become a thorn in the flesh of many aristocratic families together with Xiao Jie, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Although Su Hong himself is not afraid of the powerful, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how powerful and terrifying the aristocratic family is. He knows that if the aristocratic family joins forces to counterattack, let alone the Su family, it is possible that even Xiao Jie and even the emperor may not be able to resist live.

Thinking of this, Su Hong decided to persuade Xiao Jie instead, that the affairs of the academy can only be planned slowly, and must not act recklessly, lest those aristocratic families jump over the wall in a hurry and get burned instead.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, now is not a good time to start an academy."

Su Hong's reaction seemed to have been expected by Xiao Jie, but he still asked calmly, "I don't know why grandfather-in-law made such a statement?"

Su Hong let out a long sigh: "To tell you the truth, since Your Highness asked for the death of Zhong Shuling Zhou Jun, many officials in the court have criticized His Highness. If His Highness establishes another Luobei Academy at this time, it will be the same The academies of aristocratic families compete for students, I am afraid that the aristocratic families will not tolerate His Highness even more."

Xiao Jie shook his head, and smiled coldly: "So what if they don't tolerate me, I, Xiao Jie, always do things only to see whether they are worthy of the conscience of the world and whether they are beneficial to the people, rather than looking at the faces of these aristocratic families. If you’re not used to me, then don’t do anything.”

Xiao Jie's impassioned words made Su Hong's face a little hot, but he still calmed down and continued to persuade: "I don't want His Highness to do nothing, but there are many ways to benefit the people in the world, there is no need to insist To offend the interests of these aristocratic families and bring about unwarranted disasters for myself, even if His Highness does not plan for himself, he must also consider for the concubine and the prince."

"Grandfather Yue's words are wrong!" Xiao Jie did not agree with Su Hong's words once in a while, but continued to refute, "There are only so many interests in the world. If you want the people to get more benefits, the rich and powerful have to give up some benefits. If you want To benefit the common people, we can only sacrifice a little interest of those aristocratic families."

Su Hong didn't expect his grandson-in-law to be so eloquent, and he, a former Guozijian Jijiu who had read poetry and books, was unable to refute for a while.

However, Su Hong is Su Hong after all, he only pondered for a moment, and continued to persuade: "But I think His Highness is in Jiaozhou, teaching farming and mulberry, and promoting industry and commerce. , became the number one tax-paying province in Daning. But why is His Highness now in charge of Sili Prefecture, either founding newspapers or academies, offending many aristocratic families, why is this so necessary?"

Xiao Jie still shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather Yue doesn't know something. Things in the world are different. We can't generalize them. We can only take different measures according to different situations. Han and Yue live together in Jiaozhou, and there is no decent The aristocratic family, a large amount of land, money and food are concentrated in the hands of the chieftain who dominates one side. After I eliminated the chieftains who participated in the rebellion and moved the rest to Panyu, there was no other force in the entire Jiaozhou that could stop me from carrying out reforms. Encourage trade with Southeast Asian countries, which is why I can manage Jiaozhou well."

"But now Sizhou is an important place in the capital, under the foot of the emperor, the family is married to each other, and the relationship is intricate. If I carry out reforms, it will definitely touch the interests of the powerful, but if it violates the interests of the powerful, I will shrink back. Then what else can I do as the captain of Sili."

"Since my father handed over Sili Prefecture to me, I must not disappoint my father's trust. Reform is imperative. Establishing a newspaper and an academy are just the first steps."

"I don't know the difficulty of reform, but since I choose this road, for the sake of the country of Daning and the well-being of the people of Sili Prefecture, although there are tens of thousands of people on the road ahead, I will go!"

Xiao Jie talked eloquently and eloquently, which made Su Hong's face even hotter. He suddenly found that compared with his grandson-in-law, he looked a little cowardly and ridiculous.

Xiao Jie watched the change of expression on Su Hong's face, and knew in his heart that his strategy had worked.

He knew that Su Hong was the most upright, so he deliberately said the most passionate words inside and outside the words, which aroused Su Hong's empathy, and on the contrary persuaded Su Hong better.

Xiao Jie paused, and continued: "Why do I have to establish an academy? It's not to compete with the aristocratic family for talents, but to show the way of sages and sages."

Open your eyes for the way of sages?

Su Hong couldn't help being slightly taken aback, what kind of statement is this.

Xiao Jie's face was solemn, and he continued: "The ancient sages created the way of sages in order to educate the people, so that the people know etiquette, understand things, and achieve great harmony in the world."

"But now, the aristocratic families monopolize the Confucian classics, and the Confucian classics have also become a tool for officials to fight each other and attack each other. Children from poor families who are not from famous families have talents but are not reused. The common people have no access to the way of sages. Would the ancient sages like to see it?"

"The purpose of my establishment of the Academy is to break the monopoly of aristocratic families on Confucian classics, so that truly talented people can enter the court and serve the country and the people, and the common people can also enjoy the enlightenment of the sages."

"What is the way of a sage? In my opinion, it is to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

Su Hong repeatedly chanted "Build a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and bring peace to all generations", a long-lost passion slowly surged in his heart, and he could no longer restrain the surge in his heart, and finally Nodded: "I lived half my life in vain, I am really ashamed, Your Highness has big plans, I am superficial, since His Highness is determined to promote the way of sages and promote talents, I am naturally willing to help, and I am willing to be the dean of Luobei Academy. "

Xiao Jie smiled secretly, as expected of the traveler's favorite "Four Sentences of Hengqu", its power is astonishing, just reading it makes my blood boil and passion surges.

On the other hand, Tai Shizheng couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling that this trip to the Su Mansion seemed somewhat redundant.
