Taiji Palace, Imperial Study.
It was the hottest time of the day.
Even though there were palace maids who covered the windows with blankets to block the sunlight, and there was cold well water on the ground to lower the temperature, the Imperial Study was still as hot as a steamer.
At this moment, Li Shimin was holding a fan in the Imperial Study. His shirt was unbuttoned as he fanned himself. There were three palace maids standing behind him, fanning themselves with all their might. However, they were still unable to cool Li Shimin down.
One reason was the weather, and the other was White Deer College.
After a long time, Li Shimin was still unable to cool down. In the end, he stomped his feet and went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Imperial Garden.
A slight breeze blew and finally cooled down Li Shimin.
At this moment, Wei Zheng and the others rushed over, sweating profusely.
The moment they arrived, a palace maid brought them a large basin of water. They washed up before entering the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at the sparkling lake water. They really wanted to jump in and take a bath.
However, there must be a problem for the Emperor to call them here at this time. Therefore, no matter how hot it was, they could only endure it.
"Come, come, come. All of you, come and sit. When things are settled, you can go down if you want."
Li Shimin also saw through their thoughts. Dan Shuang Zhou drank in the Imperial Garden and swam?
Forget it.
If news of this got out, wouldn't he be criticized to death by those officials?
"Your Majesty, it's such a hot day. What happened?"
Cheng Yaojin was the first to lose his composure.
"Is it because of the Xiao Mountain?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"It's precisely because of this. I heard Zhang Feng's college is called White Deer College. As for what it's used for, I'm sure you've heard about it?"
At this moment,
Li Chengqian and the others hurried over.
As soon as they entered Li Shimin's field of vision, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Chengqian, why don't you tell us your thoughts first. Later, you guys can also tell us your thoughts on this college."
They hurriedly accepted the decree and thanked him for his kindness.
"Father, I have already dealt with the construction of Fengzi's new academy. Tomorrow, some craftsmen will go to Mount Xiao. I guess I will also go to Mount Xiao tomorrow."
"As for White Deer College, for the time being, I think that it is a place that focuses on alternative education. Just like what Zhang Feng said, this place is supplemented by literature and hidden weapons."
Using literature as a supplement?
Hiding weapons on his body?
What did that mean?
Li Shimin and the others could not help but be stunned.
"Chengqian, explain to us. What does this mean? What do you mean by using literature as a supplement? How can you hide weapons on your body? "
Li Shimin had heard Zhang Feng talk about using people as a mirror, but this was the first time he heard Zhang Feng talk about using literature as a supplement. He couldn't help but feel a little confused.
As for Wei Zheng and the others, they were even more dumbfounded at this moment.
"This … this son was busy thinking about how to recruit people at that time, so this son and the others didn't have time to ask about this. However, this son believes that Zhang Feng's words have a certain degree of logic. Just like he once said, he can make his literary skills equal to Prime Minister Wei and the others, and in martial arts, he can compete with Uncle Cheng on the battlefield!"
"What?"
"Isn't this just learning about the art of war and learning about the way of being an official? What's so difficult about this? "
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but pout.
However, Wei Zheng couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, this old subject thinks that Zhang Feng's words can't be understood in this way. This old subject has also heard about what happened last night and today. It's said that Brother Zhang Feng is running a technical school, but the focus is on strategy and strategy. As for the path of an official, as well as the path of Confucius and Mencius, they're just icing on the cake."
"Just like us in the imperial court, which one of us didn't start off as a lowly official or a soldier? Then, we slowly accumulated experience before we could go further."
"However, if I'm not wrong, what Brother Zhang Feng means is that he wants to focus on this process of accumulating experience while studying in the academy. Then, after graduating, he can directly grow. Although this seems a little unreliable, I think that this method is worth a try!"
Li Shimin furrowed his brows tightly and thought deeply for a while, but he still couldn't think of any results.
"Then tell me, culinary skills, gardening, architecture, and so on, do they all need to be learned? Isn't it just finding a master to learn? Can this be considered a subject? "
Li Shimin couldn't help but voice out his doubts again. He pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "Official Fang, tell me, what's the difference between this and the Ministry of Works?"
"Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling hurriedly got up.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I think that this matter should be looked at from the perspective of Brother Zhang Feng's purpose. Think about it, Zhang Feng's salt-making technique was so precious that even I would treat it as a family heirloom. However, Zhang Feng still gave it to us without hesitation. What does this mean?
"Think about it again. How long has it been since Lu Ban and the inheritance of the Mo Family? Because of various taboos, the inheritance is basically incomplete. Even the wooden ox has been lost. If Zhang Feng opens the door to others to learn and he teaches them wholeheartedly, I think this is a great thing!"
