Improper stepping stone for men

The original owner had been to the palace before when he was the son of the Marquis of Jinshou, but usually accompanied his father to attend banquets in the palace, and it was the first time that he was formally summoned by the emperor in the Hall of Harmony.

Just as he was being carried across the high threshold at the entrance of the hall, a somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice came from inside: "Ah Yan is suffering, look at your little face..."

As the person approached, the emperor saw his appearance clearly and couldn't utter the word "clear reduction" no matter what, and was stuck there in embarrassment.

There was an imperceptible flash of a smile in Yang Yan's eyes, he lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, and said: "Caomin Su Yangyan pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, please forgive Caomin for being inconvenient and unable to perform the ceremony."

The emperor coughed lightly, and said: "It's okay, I heard that you were wronged a few days ago, and I didn't know about it until recently, but looking at you, it seems that you are living a good life in the Su family."

"Your Majesty is concerned. Parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are very kind to the grass people." Yang Yan showed a trace of gratitude on his face, and then sighed, "The grass people are not wronged by this matter. It is Zuo Yangyi who is really wronged."

The emperor was very satisfied with his performance. If what he said was sincere, it would be enough to show his innocence. If it was a disguise, it would be enough to show his ability by being able to pretend so perfectly without showing a trace. Either way can prove this Zi is by no means mediocre.

"It's rare for you to be so open-minded when you are in a catastrophe." He didn't delve into it, picked up the scripture book on the case, and said, "If you think about it, you also know why I came here to find you. Your book has caused a sensation all over the country!"

"Yes, Caomin knows." Yang Yan pursed his lips slightly, with a touch of excitement and shyness on his face, "Caomin wrote the storybook at the beginning because he saw that his family was poor, and he didn't want to be a useless person to drag down his family. I wrote it in, but I didn’t want to alarm His Majesty.”

When he said that he was not reconciled, there was inevitably a trace of sadness in his eyes, but he soon smiled again: "But I can show what I have learned in another way, and the grass people are satisfied."

The emperor was noncommittal to his statement, mentioned several strategies that could not be implemented, and then was slightly disappointed to find that these were really just his immature ideas, including those that were proven to be feasible. Just a good idea.

However, this does not mean that he is useless. On the contrary, after testing his knowledge, the emperor further believes that this son can be called a rough jade, which will surely shine after being honed.

He glanced at the boy's legs indiscriminately, thinking that he just didn't know if he could stand this grinding process.

The emperor hesitated for a while, but decided to give him a chance, and offered to promote him to the court as an official, but was unexpectedly rejected.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but the grassroots people don't want to be here now." Yang Yan looked calm, as if what he rejected was just an ordinary person, not the king of a country.

The emperor was not angry because of this, but asked his future plans indifferently: "Isn't Ah Yan planning to make a living by writing scripts in the future?"

Yang Yan smiled shyly and said: "Your Majesty, to tell the truth, in recent years, besides writing scripts, Caomin has also been teaching several elder brothers and younger brothers to read, and found that he is quite talented in this area."

"Caomin has an idea in his heart. He wants to build an academy to train talents for our dynasty. It can be considered as a modest effort, hoping to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Your ambition is not small." The emperor was a little surprised. "Do you know that building an academy is not as simple as you imagined?"

The matter of the Su family had been investigated and brought to the table long ago. He naturally knew that the brothers of the Su family were taught well by him, but that was under the premise that the Su family believed him and had limited vision.

A young man who has not reached the weak crown, even if he is a layman with a lot of fame, but it is only because his words are written wonderfully, and it is not very possible to attract students to study with this.

And it's impossible for an academy to have only one teacher, right?Would those famous teachers and scholars be willing to work under him?The emperor shook his head and sighed, the young people's thinking was too naive.

"Caomin understands the difficulties involved, but Caomin is just determined to do so, and does not want to build the academy immediately." Yang Yan took out a few books from the side of the chair, and respectfully raised his head above his head, "Caomin compiled a book here. A set of enlightenment textbooks, and I would like to ask His Majesty to help me palm my eyes."

Although he felt that his ideas were a bit whimsical, but it was his immature ideas that made some suggestions that benefited the country and the people, and seeing that he was indeed talented, the emperor was more patient with him and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to go over Bring the book up.

Taking the book in his hands, seeing the big characters on the cover, he first praised "good characters" in his heart, recalling that when he was the heir of the Marquis of Jinshou, he heard that he ranked first among the young people, He even praised him once.

If he hadn't fallen off the cliff and lost his legs, even if he returned to the farm, he would continue to take the imperial examination. With Jin Shouhou's temperament, he would support him from the side, and there would be more good ministers in the court in the future, but after he went through hardships He changed his mind.

The emperor felt a little pity, and when he opened the book, he couldn't help but have some anticipation, but when he saw it, he said "huh" in surprise: "Your ink dots and horizontal lines are used to break sentences?"

"Your Majesty, the grassroots call it a symbol." Yang Yan replied calmly, "Nowadays, when the master teaches students, he judges sentences based on his own understanding."

"But everyone's level is different, and it is inevitable that some people will make mistakes in punctuation. The master himself punctured the sentence wrongly, and the students will naturally learn it wrong. If the sentence sentence can be unified, this situation will not happen."

"It's a good idea." The emperor said lightly, and the rest "But how can you ensure that you didn't break the wrong sentence?" He didn't say it, and continued to read.

Soon he discovered that there was not a single sentence in the whole text that was unreasonable, and the book was full of words that would be used in daily life, and they were compiled into meaningful short stories, which were simpler than the enlightenment books commonly used today. Much easier to understand.

"You are very good." After reading the five books, the emperor completely put away his previous contempt. Although it was only a simple enlightenment book, it can be seen from it that his knowledge is very solid, and he has fully applied it.

I'm a little lucky that I didn't say the words of contempt before, otherwise I might slap myself in the future, and it would be a shame.

The emperor really looked forward to him now, closed the book and looked at the young man below with piercing eyes: "Su Yangyan, I can promise to build an academy for you when you are famous enough, and appoint you as the dean. "

In a flash of his mind, he already understood the plan in the young man's mind. Now that the "Xianyun Layman" has gained a reputation, it is not enough to start a school and establish a sect.

But if he publishes this book of enlightenment, and even writes books of a higher level in the future, he will accumulate enough reputation sooner or later, and if he goes well, he may be able to achieve his goal within a few years.

Maybe he can really look forward to the day when the boy's promise will come true.

"Cao Min thanked His Majesty." Yang Yan bowed his hands and saluted.

"Don't thank me first, wait until the day you really do it." The emperor waved his hand, the smile on his face was more sincere than before, "One yard is worth one yard, this time the strategy in your book has made a great contribution , I originally wanted to reward you for being an official, but since your ambition is not here, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."

"Your Majesty," Yang Yan said with some hesitation, "Can the grass-roots ask you for a favor instead of rewarding money?"

"Oh?" The emperor remained expressionless, "What grace do you want?"

Yang Yan lowered his eyes, and his voice became low: "Your Majesty also knows that 17 years ago, the Caomin and the prince of the Jinshouhou Mansion had the wrong embrace. Over the years, the Caomin has taken over the status of the prince and enjoyed the wealth that should belong to him." and careful teaching."

"What happened back then was a blunder, and you were just a baby who didn't know anything at the time. You can't blame you for this." Seeing his guilty look, the emperor gave him a rare comfort.

"Having said that, it is true that he lived a poor life in the farmhouse instead of the grass people. When the grass people were eating delicious delicacies, he was drinking vegetable soup and wrapping his belly with coarse grains. When the grass people were on high beds with soft pillows, he was sleeping on the The dilapidated hard bed was covered with moldy cotton wadding, and when Caomin started studying, he had already started working in the field with his parents..."

The emperor was silent for a moment, everyone just talked about the wrongdoing between the two families as a rare thing, and no one seriously thought about the gap. Only by listening to him say it word by word, can we deeply understand Zuo Yang's words. How much wronged did that child Yi suffer?

I heard before that it was because of him making a fuss at home that Jinshouhou Mansion decided to send Su Yangyan back to Su's house for a temporary stay, and he fell off a cliff and broke his leg. The emperor once angered him in his heart. Recalling the thoughts at that time, I was a little ashamed.

I'm afraid that even Jin Shouhou, the father, didn't think about it seriously, but the young man in front of him, as the beneficiary, can think of it for the child after going through these things. It's really embarrassing for him.

"You don't have to think too much," the emperor said consolingly, "If you feel that you owe him something, just take care of him when you have a chance in the future."

"Does Your Majesty think so too?" Yang Yan's eyes lit up, "Caomin also has the same idea. I heard that the son's life is not very good after returning to the Hou's mansion. After all, his status has changed suddenly, and it is difficult to adapt for a while."

"That's why Caomin wants to ask His Majesty for a favor. Please His Majesty can give Caomin an identity and let Caomin go and teach him to be a qualified prince."

"This..." The emperor frowned involuntarily. It wasn't that he suspected that the other party had bad intentions. He believed that he was quite accurate in judging people. This young man really had a heart of innocence.

But his request is a bit embarrassing, even if he is the king of a country, he can't take the liberty to interfere in the family affairs of his subjects, and let the fake prince teach the real prince, what will people outside think?
