"Hey, boy, did the sun come out from the west today, or the old man's eyes were blurred, why are you here?"
Although the voice from the front was not loud, there were not many people in the court hall who dared to speak like this in the main hall, completely ignoring the supervisory censor.
Li Yi sighed, and said helplessly: "There is no way, His Majesty summoned..."
General Xue looked at him and asked in surprise, "What did His Majesty summon you for?"
Li Yi himself was still curious. If the old emperor wanted to ask him for something, he usually summoned him in private. Every time he took the initiative to summon him to court, nothing good would happen.
Old General Xue didn't ask any further questions, but walked up to him, and said in a low voice, "You have to reserve a good place for my Xue family on the stele of the academy."
Li Yi looked at him in surprise, and said, "Shouldn't Mr. Xue talk to Her Royal Highness about this matter?"
Old General Xue cast a glance at him, "Don't think that I don't know. Although Her Highness the Princess is doing the academy's affairs, it must be your idea behind it. The Cui family didn't offend the Princess. Her Highness is responsible for such insidious things. not come out."
"I don't know what Mr. Xue is talking about..." Li Yi leaned on the pillar and said: "I really can't control the academy, Mr. Xue should talk to Her Royal Highness, the relationship between the princess and the general, let alone the Xue family Leave a good place on the courtyard stele, even if it is a separate stele for Mr. Xue outside the academy."
"Hey, why are you erecting a monument for me? The old man is not dead yet!" Old General Xue glanced at him, but he was not angry, and said, "Your Highness, it's not easy for the old man to come forward. If people see it, they will inevitably guess. Your Highness is using the public to seek personal gain. You are different. The Li family has donated a lot of money. It is impossible for others to gossip, so you can help the old man blow the pillow... "
In fact, Li Yi had already planned in his heart. Although Jiangmen is not considered poor, his life has only improved recently. It is impossible to donate a lot of money to compete with those powerful families.
In fact, he originally wanted to separate a certain academy and build it into a military academy of this era, specializing in training military talents. At that time, old generals like General Xue and General Ma, who have spent their entire lives in military affairs, will be able to give full play to their surplus heat and provide for the elderly after they retire. In addition, teaching some students has countless benefits for the continuation of the general.
This is what they are willing to do. When Li Yi came to the door last time, he heard several generals sigh that if he didn't even have to go to court in the future, he might be bored.
These veterans treated him very well, and he didn't know how many troubles he had faced in the court in the past. When it came to the academy's affairs, he would naturally have some selfishness and do something for the generals.
Of course, in addition to this, the reason on another level cannot be clearly stated.
However, this matter has to be agreed with them in advance, otherwise it will be considered as abusing the elderly and squeezing the remaining value of the veteran. This blame cannot be taken.
"really?"
Old General Xue didn't seem to care at all whether he squeezed his surplus value, but his spirit was lifted.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Of course, but this has to be agreed by several old generals. After all, no one in Jingguo understands things like arranging troops and charging in formations, and you will be the ones who will manage the entire academy at that time." , Of course, the nominal dean must be Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When the academies across the country are completed, the eldest princess will be the dean of all the academies, not just for honor, but probably equivalent to the Minister of Education of Jingguo. The royal family will not allow others to sit in this position.
"Don't worry, those old guys can't wait to have something to do." Of course, Old General Xue understood what he said. It was impossible for the imperial court to completely hand over such an academy to them. It was better if the dean was the eldest princess than someone else , Those old guys, no one will object.
He wanted to ask for more details, but the hall suddenly became quiet. Seeing someone walking out from the back of the hall, Old General Xue immediately stood back to his original position.
Li Yi poked his head out from behind the pillar, saw that Emperor Jing was already sitting on the dragon chair, and quickly shrank back.
The top priority discussed in the court today is still water control.
The imperial court sent several groups of officials to deal with the flood in the south, but none of them could effectively deal with it. The focus of these early court discussions was this matter.
All the officials offered their suggestions one by one, but very few of them could put forward constructive suggestions.
It's not repeating the routines of the predecessors, it's just saying that it seems reasonable, but in fact it's all fake nonsense. Li Yi is a little annoyed behind the pillar.
Emperor Jing looked at the noisy court below, glanced several times, but did not see a certain figure, frowned, and asked, "Where is Li Yi?"
The pillars in the hall were very thick, just enough to block his entire body. After hearing it for the second time, Li Yi realized that someone was calling him, walked out from behind the pillars, bowed and said, "The minister is here!"
Seeing him hiding behind the pillar again, Emperor Jing gave him a gloomy look, and said, "The flood in the south, the imperial court has sent two groups of officials, but there is no success in controlling the flood. In your opinion, how should we deal with this flood?"
As soon as Emperor Jing's words came out, there were many people in the court whose faces darkened slightly.
Regarding the matter of water control, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their opinions, but no one could be seen by His Majesty. Only the Marquis of Li County, who was hiding behind a pillar, could be pointed out by His Majesty, which shows how much His Majesty's trust in him has reached. point!
This is really not a good thing for some people in the DPRK.
"Your Majesty, what I want to say, my lords have already finished talking just now." Li Yi said helplessly: "I really don't know how to control water."
How terrifying the power of nature is, even in later generations, it cannot be countered by manpower.
No matter how many books he reads, no matter how knowledgeable he is, he does not think that he can be better than the professional water control officials of the Metropolitan Water Supervision. Those insights are not very useful for reference, not to mention analysis based on the actual situation, field inspections are for sure..., this muddy water, it is better not to go there.
In a few months, Ruyi is going to give birth, he doesn't want to leave at this time, before that, he has been away for long enough.
"Okay, you go down." Emperor Jing waved his hand, realizing that he subconsciously regarded him as the last straw. Flood control is not an endorsement, let alone poetry. what a good way
A sneer appeared on the faces of some people in the hall. It is true that this Marquis of Li County is good at using some tricks, but when he really encounters governance and administration, or these things that require real skills, his true colors will be revealed .
Li Yi didn't return to his original position this time, he had already been called by the old emperor once, and it would be a little bad to hide behind the pillar again.
"You shouldn't have said that just now." Old General Xue slowly moved to his side, and said in a low voice, "Even if you really don't understand, you can repeat what the person in front said. This is a trick method, don’t use it again.”
"The juniors know."
Li Yi doesn't care. If you don't need to connect with the actual situation and just talk about theories, these people in the court together are not his opponents. However, this kind of thing is not just talk on paper. It's good not to speak.
In the end, there was still no discussion on the water control issue, so it had to be put on hold temporarily. The court sent more officials there again. Li Yi estimated that today's morning court should be over soon. Should he go to the old monk Tanyin first, or to the old Taoist Yuan? This is a question worth thinking about.
At this moment, Emperor Jing above did not know what to say, and an eunuch walked out from behind him, as if he was going to announce the decree.
Li Yi decided to go back to find out the truth before making any plans. He inadvertently raised his head and glanced at him, and found that Emperor Jing was looking at him.
