Chapter 1237 Kong Yingda retires

Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, at noon today, His Highness of Wei left Jingyang and went to Chang'an to meet Kong Yingda."

Li Shimin took another sip of tea and said, "Is that true?"

Wang Ding said again: "After his highness, King of Wei, and Master Kong Yingda had this memorial."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "So, does this matter also have something to do with Qingque?"

Wang Ding said again: "It is said that His Highness the King of Wei has been looking for a master for Jingyang Academy recently."

Li Shimin said unhappily: "He already has Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng, Chu Suiliang, and Yan Liben in Jingyang, who else do he want!"

Wang Ding lowered his head and retreated aside.

Kong Yingda’s memorial was placed by Li Shimin.

The next day, Li Zheng got up early, and the villain Li Shimin came again.

Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin who was eating breakfast and said, "Your Majesty, will I prepare dishes and chopsticks for Your Majesty next time?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay."

“…”

Li Zheng took a bite of the bun and said to myself that I would like to say politely, Li Shimin is still arrogant and plans to come here to eat every day?

Li Zhi and Xiao Yizi went to class early, and Li Lizhi took people to work on their own affairs.

There is no one else at the dinner table.

After eating, Li Shimin wiped his mouth and said, "I heard that your academy lacks a teacher?"

The maid on the side was packing the dishes.

Li Zheng poured himself a cup of boiled water and drank it sipped.

Seeing that Li Zheng did not answer, Li Shimin said, "I know that you are a little unhappy with me, but I hope that you, my monarch and minister can be more honest."

Li Zheng sneered: "Tell him honestly?

I might as well talk to the cow."

Li Shimin said in an inverted voice: "What do you mean?"

Li Zheng said: "I mean to say frankly to His Majesty, it's useless to say I'm honest?

Did Your Majesty be honest with me?"

The conversation between the father-in-law, son-in-law and minister was not right, and the maid on the side was careful to clean up the dishes and did not dare to make a sound.

Li Shimin said again: "Put it aside that I am His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, I am still a beautiful father, and I am your elder."

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Li Zheng said: "A dignified elder makes small moves behind me, my junior. Do you think I can't see it?

I want to be honest, are you qualified to say that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately stood up and looked at Li Zheng with anger.

Li Zheng also looked around.

Seeing that Li Zheng seemed to be looking for something, Li Shimin asked: "What are you looking for?"

Li Zheng continued to look around and said, "I'm looking for a guy. If I fight with His Majesty, I'll need a handy weapon."

Li Shimin said coldly: "I have to say some things."

Li Zheng also said to Li Shimin: "Some things are also forced by His Majesty."

Li Shimin pointed at Li Zheng for a moment and didn't know what to say, and was so angry that he trembled, "You are simply..."

Holding the fan in his hand, Li Zheng said, "What's wrong with me?"

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and what you see is like a stubborn stone.

If someone else had knelt down in front of me, only Li Zheng was still standing upright and even challenged.

Li Shimin said: "If someone dares to talk to me like this, his head will have now landed."

Li Zheng whispered: "Before my head landing, I want to see if Chang'an City will be razed to the ground overnight!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Zheng sneered: "You scared me first."

It is simply a fool to razor Chang'an City overnight, but for Li Zheng, he might be able to do such a thing.

Li Shimin sat down again to calm himself down.

Li Zheng shook his fan calmly.

After a while of quiet, Li Shimin said, "What are you going to do to Kong Yingda?"

Li Zheng said: "The King of Wei is now the head of the academy. Now the academy lacks a teacher. If Kong Yingda could enter Jingyang Academy, it would be useful to the academy's plan to recruit teachers, but I don't like the style of those Confucian students."

Li Shimin said in confusion: "Then what use do you want Kong Yingda?"

Li Zheng continued: "First of all, I don't like Confucian students, but I don't hate Kong Yingda. Secondly, Kong Yingda's ability to enter the academy is not a burden or annoying. Besides, it is a fact that the academy lacks a teacher. I prefer the people trained by the academy itself, but from the choice of people outside, I don't look at the seniority and qualifications, I only look at the unique skills they have."

"Exclusive skill?"

Li Zheng said: "Each person has his own strengths, what if he can pick up a treasure?

For example, the Liu family in Hedong is good.”

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng and said, "What you want to Kong Yingda is not a Confucian, you just want Kong Yingda's reputation."

Li Zheng disagreed and said, "It's not all. Cheng Chumo married Kong Yingda's daughter. Kong Yingda is Cheng Chumo's father-in-law, so it's okay to take care of her. Besides, Kong Yingda is old and is over 60 years old. Your Majesty can't squeeze people to death."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I didn't exploit him."

After changing his sitting position, Li Zheng said: "Your Majesty asked Kong Yingda to retire and retire. This is a harmony between the ruler and the minister, and it is not a bad thing for You."

Li Shimin said: "Kong Yingda can leave the Imperial College for his retirement, and even let him come to Jingyang, but I have one condition."

Li Zheng shook his fan and said, "Please speak with your Majesty."

Li Shimin said: "After Kong Yingda retired, he can retire in Jingyang. He cannot hold any position in Jingyang Academy, nor can he teach in Jingyang Academy. He only retires to the outside world."

Let Kong Yingda leave the Imperial College for retirement and be unable to teach elsewhere.

Isn't this a competition agreement?

Didn't expect that the ancients would already play this trick?

Li Zheng said: "This condition can be achieved. I also have a condition. After Kong Yingda retires, His Majesty gave him a county magistrate and retained the position of priest of the Imperial College. This position must always be vacant before Kong Yingda's death."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

The conversation between the king and his ministers after breakfast set up Kong Yingda's retirement life in his later years.

After the afternoon, Li Shimin approved Kong Yingda's memorial for retirement and asked Kong Yingda to come to Jingyang to escape the heat. He was granted the title of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, the guardian army, and was granted the title of Duke of Qufu County and the Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Shimin not only made Kong Yingda retire, but also granted the title of Guardian Army and the County Duke, and also gave Lingyan Pavilion a statue. Kong Yingda in his later years could also be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion.

There is a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects in the court.

Kong Yingda successfully retired.

Li Shimin is also an adult beauty and has also received praise from Confucian students.
