Du Qi took the words bestowed by Li Yuan and said respectfully, "Your Majesty's great kindness, this subject is deeply grateful."
Li Yuan said, "Erlang, I strongly support your academy. However, the candidate for the dean of the academy is extremely important. If there is no suitable candidate for the dean, your academy of the Tang dynasty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to truly establish a foothold and have influence. "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, this subject has a candidate."
Li Yuan said, "Who?"
Du Qi replied, "This person is called Wang Ji, courtesy name Wugong, nickname Donghaozi, from Longmen County, Jiangzhou."
After Li Yuan heard this, a hint of surprise appeared between his brows, he said, "Erlang, this person Wang Ji, I know. This person can be compared to a great Confucian scholar, a person of talent and learning. Especially his elder brother Wang Tong, who was like a Confucian scholar of his generation and had many disciples. Unfortunately, Wang Tong died early, so his position in the Confucian school was not enough. "
After a pause, Li Yuan said again, "Wang Ji is also not bad. It's just that I know that after Wang Ji entered the officialdom in his early years, his temperament was unruly, and it was difficult for him to integrate into the officialdom. In the end, he abandoned his position and returned home. If you want to invite Wang Ji, I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang has already left the mountain. He is now living in my residence. Yesterday, I specially went to Mr. Wang's residence and invited him to be the dean of the private academy. "
Li Yuan raised his brows, revealing a surprised expression, he asked, "Really?"
Du Qi said, "Naturally."
Li Yuan said, "Good, worthy of Erlang who plans and then acts. With Wang Ji, this great Confucian scholar, your academy of the Tang dynasty will also have a reputation. The disciples who come out in the future can also be said to be Wang Ji's disciples. "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is overpraising."
Li Yuan thought for a moment, he suddenly said, "Erlang, is there anything else you need me to write for you? If there is, tell me all at once, I will write them all for you one by one. "
Du Qi said happily, "Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan said, "Speak, what do you want to write?"
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, the first sentence I'm going to write is the motto of the students of the Academy of the Tang dynasty. It's the goal they are striving for, and it's to train the scholars of the Academy of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yuan said, "What is it?"
Du Qi replied, "This sentence is' Set your heart for Heaven and Earth, set your life for the people, inherit the lost knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace for all ages! 'After this sentence was engraved on the tablet, it was placed at the entrance of the Academy."
After Li Yuan heard this, his body trembled. He raised his head to look at Du Qi, his face revealing a shocked expression.
Du Qi's words were too ambitious.
Even Xiao Li gave Du Qi a heavy look. When Xiao Li looked at Du Qi, he felt that Du Qi was completely different from before. For a child to have such grand ambitions, it was admirable.
Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Erlang, these four sentences were written by you?"
Du Qi was stunned.
He only wanted to let Li Yuan inscribe, but he forgot the influence of these words. In later generations, these four sentences were known as the Four Sentences of Hengqu. They were praised by countless people and were extremely famous.
Du Qi immediately recovered and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, this kid got this from a book by chance. This kind of famous sentence, this kind of grand ambition, this kid doesn't have it. This kid is a gluttonous and lazy person, how can I have such great ambition! "
Li Yuan, however, laughed.
He clearly noticed Du Qi's moment of hesitation. He guessed that this kid did not react for a while, so he was like this.
Li Yuan did not expose him. He dipped the brush in ink and wrote these four sentences. Li Yuan admired it again. These four sentences were indeed excellent. They were easy to read and easy to read. There was even a sense of grandeur and lofty aspiration.
Li Yuan handed this set of words to Du Qi and asked, "Erlang, is there anything else you want to write?"
At this time, he was purely curious.
He wanted to see what else Du Qi wanted to write, what other good sentences did he have. It should be known that Du Qi had always been famous for his talent. Therefore, Li Yuan believed that the sentences Du Qi took out were all written by Du Qi himself.
Li Yuan could also be considered to have read extensively and was familiar with the classics. It was impossible for him not to know some good articles and sentences.
Seeing that Li Yuan was willing, Du Qi did not care about who did it. He continued, "Your Majesty, there is still a set of words to be hung on both sides of the academy's main gate."
Li Yuan said, "Speak!"
Du Qi said, "The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, all enter the ear; family affairs, state affairs, the world affairs, everything is concerned."
"Good!"
After Li Yuan heard, he praised again.
He dipped the brush in ink and wrote down the couplet Du Qi wanted to write. He handed it to Du Qi.
Li Yuan asked again, "Is there anything else?"
Du Qi thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, there is one last sentence."
Li Yuan said, "Speak!"
Du Qi said, "Study for the rise of the Tang dynasty."
"Good, well said!"
Li Yuan waved the brush and quickly finished writing. Unexpectedly, he stood up and praised, "The scholars of the Tang dynasty must not only have lofty aspirations, but also have the ambition to protect the Tang dynasty and the Tang dynasty. They must be determined to study for the rise of the Tang dynasty."
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is right."
Li Yuan waved his hand. Du Qi did not speak anymore. He took the manuscript that Li Yuan finished and left.
Li Yuan looked at Du Qi's back as he left. His face was full of praise. He said, "Xiao Li, this kid Erlang is extremely talented and has great ambitions. Although he looks lazy on the surface, in fact, he has great ambitions in his heart. In the future, I am afraid that there will be a place for Du Qi in the center of the imperial court. "
Xiao Li said, "Your Majesty, County Magistrate Du still has a long way to go. After all, he is too young. Because he is young, there are too many uncertainties. "
Li Yuan said, "Take your time and see."
After Du Qi left the palace, he went straight back to his residence. He was going back to his residence now to see Wang Ji.
However, when Du Qi returned to the Du family, he heard the people in the residence say that Wang Ji went to the location of the academy. Du Qi did not go. He waited at home. Wang Ji only returned when it was close to evening.
Wang Ji saw Du Qi and said, "Young Master Du, I think there are some problems with the current transformation of the academy."
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, please speak."
Wang Ji said seriously, "The academy's plan is naturally not a problem. It's just that the current transformation progress is still a bit slow. Why can't we dispatch some more craftsmen to go? "
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, haste makes waste. If all the craftsmen in the academy are busy, it will be easy to cause chaos. There are not many craftsmen at the moment. Such a number of people is actually excellent. It can operate well and will not cause chaos. "
"Of course, if Mr. Wang thinks it is inappropriate, I can arrange a group of craftsmen for Mr. Wang to be responsible for dispatching. You can try to compare the efficiency of adding people and not adding people."
Du Qi said, "I have always believed that facts speak louder than words. Instead of arguing, it is better to try."
Wang Ji thought for a moment and chose to believe in Du Qi. He said, "Well, let's follow Young Master Du's arrangement. Moreover, there are no more teachers to teach at the moment. There is no harm in waiting for a while. "
Du Qi nodded and changed the topic. He said, "Mr. Wang, I went to the palace today and asked His Majesty to inscribe for the academy. Now, these are all in Mr. Wang's custody. "
Wang Ji said, "What inscription?"
Du Qi took out Li Yuan's inscription, from the academy of the Tang dynasty to the four sentences of Hengqu, to a pair of couplets, and the last sentence. These five sets of words were placed in front of Wang Ji.
Wang Ji was puzzled.
He didn't know what these words were.
Wang Ji untied the string that tied the words and opened the first set of words. It was the four words "Academy of the Tang dynasty" and Li Yuan's signature. When Wang Ji saw it, he couldn't help but gasp. His face was full of shock.
The academy of the Tang dynasty, Li Yuan personally inscribed.
That was too amazing.
Wang Ji looked up at Du Qi with a shocked face. Because he didn't expect Du Qi to be able to get Li Yuan's inscription. Such ability was not something that ordinary people could have.
