The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Back in the hall, Lady Yingguo asked Li Shao to go back and rest first.

She was going back to her residence with her husband.

Li Ji sat on a chair in the room, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Next year, after Shao'er and Huairen get married, I can put my worries aside. You are in charge of the family, Zhen'er is studying in the farm, and the family is all good." Li Ji sighed.

Lady Yingguo seemed to hear something.

"Husband, why is it so?" Lady Yingguo asked, "Isn't our family doing well now?"

"Yes, it's doing well now." Li Ji smiled and said, "Today I talked with Huairen about the dismissal of officials in the court. During this period, the mansion has repelled many officials who came to seek connections."

"The connections in the court are not just ours. After this assessment and dismissal, I estimate that they will be disrupted again."

"Those who get involved in this matter will not be well received by His Majesty. Those who do not get involved and avoid it will not be well received by those who have interacted with them in the past. After all, they are just standing by and watching at this critical moment."

Lady Yingguo frowned. She understood.

In this matter, it is not possible to advance or retreat.

"However, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. If we do this, other families in Chang'an will do the same. In particular, your Majesty's people will not interfere in this matter. Those who jump up and down, which one is not anxious for their own interests? The knife of dismissal is cut on them, so they have to find a way.

And their thinking of a way is against your Majesty's intention, how can your Majesty be happy?"

"Officials are dismissed, the court reduces expenses, restores national strength, and creates a new atmosphere for the new policy of the Zhenguan Dynasty. Your Majesty is ambitious and has done a lot of things after ascending the throne."

"Everyone in the court knows that the northern grasslands are the biggest concern of the Tang Dynasty. The Weishui Alliance is regarded as a shame by your Majesty. Such a shame, your Majesty will not tolerate it for long.

The Tang Dynasty and the Turks on the grasslands will have a war, and if I want to fight, I will definitely lead the troops north."

A trace of worry appeared on the face of the Lady of the Duke of Ying.

"It's not difficult to lead the troops, but before I go north, I must make arrangements for my family, even if something unexpected happens during the war..."

"Pfft, don't say such unlucky words." Lady Yingguo interrupted her husband.

Arrange it, it's understandable, but don't say bad words, God is listening.

"Okay, I won't say it." Li Ji smiled.

"With you at home, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion at all." Li Ji said: "After Shao'er gets married next year, she will be the Princess of Jingyang. As for Zhen'er, he will go to the academy and be taken care of by his brother-in-law, the King of Jingyang. I am relieved. In the future, Zhen'er will support the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, so I have to be stricter with Zhen'er now.

I have to train him and cultivate him. Even if Zhen'er does not inherit my mantle in the future, he can't be said to be outstanding. It is enough to protect our family."

Li Ji's words made the Duke of Yingguo's wife's eyes red.

Now it's all about the future.

The way for my daughter and son has been arranged.

Even myself has been arranged.

Before Zhen'er comes of age, if her husband is not at home, she will support the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, and Shao'er and Huairen will assist from the side.

This is also the confidence that the marriage between Li Shao and Li Fu brought to the Duke of Yingguo.

When Lady Yingguo mentioned the academy on Zhuangzi, Li Ji had no reaction. But recently, what really made him determined was the many changes in the court and the matter of leading troops to the north to fight the Turks in the future.

This reminded him.

Now the eldest son of the mansion is still young and not enough to support the family. As the heir of the Yingguo Mansion, Li Zhen must not only train him but also find a suitable backer for him.

Li Zhen's future brother-in-law is a ready-made backer.

It only took a meal to think about it, and Li Ji decided to settle this matter.

No matter when the Tang Dynasty will fight the Turks on the grassland in the future, and when he will lead the army to go to war, the family's arrangement is appropriate.

After discussing this matter today, it doesn't matter even if he has to go to the battlefield tomorrow.

After Li Fu left, he sat in the carriage and recalled what he did today in the Yingguo Mansion.

Li Zhen's coming to Zhuangzi to study is not a big deal, but the meaning it represents is different.

How rich are the educational resources in Chang'an?

The educational resources of the academy in Zhuangzi are definitely not comparable to those in Chang'an, but the famous teachers in Chang'an are not all clustered together.Look, the faculty of the academy is not weak.

Lu Deming is a doctor of the Imperial Academy and a famous scholar. His friends, if you pick one out, are also very famous in their hometowns and local areas.

This made Lu Deming fool them all and they all came to Zhuangzi.

The academy in Zhuangzi is more like an utopia for some people who devote themselves to studying and learning. After coming here and staying here for a while, they are immersed in this atmosphere and are reluctant to leave.

In addition, Lu Deming has really learned a lot of tricks from Li Fu in the past two years, and he is always right.

Liu Niang's son used to study in the academy in Chang'an City. The characteristics of the academy in Chang'an City are that there are only a dozen students in one academy, and the teachers are very knowledgeable and only teach these dozen students, or two or three teachers teach a dozen students.

The academy in Zhuangzi is large in scale. There are two hundred students. Even if they are divided into classes, there are many teachers in the academy, but on average, one teacher will not only take care of five or six students.

This is a little different from herding sheep.

Li Fu did not expect that his future father-in-law was arranging his future path. If he knew, he would definitely think that this thing is unnecessary.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to fight the Turks, what kind of battle will it dispatch?

It is a scene of too many wolves and little meat.

Who is the meat? The Turks are the meat.

The Turks became the thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty because the Central Plains had been in chaos for many years, and the internal consumption was too serious, and they have not yet recovered.

When the former Sui Dynasty was glorious, did they dare to go south?

They still had to rely on the rewards of the saint Khan to live a good life.

In the evening, someone came to the palace.

It was the guards of Da'an Palace who escorted the eunuchs and brought a large cart of books.

When the eunuch saw Li Fu, he bowed and saluted with a smile.

"Your Highness, these are the books selected from Da'an Palace and sent to you."

Li Fu smiled and returned the greeting: "Thank you all."

"Old Zhao, it's so hot, please take a break and sit down to drink some tea."
