Dragon's Origin

#858 - Royal Academy of Arts (upper)

Did I even need to think about it now? The Son of Heaven had been looking forward to it countless times in his dreams. When did it start? It must have been after I got the grand ceremony of enfeoffing the vassals from Wang Sheng!

If all kinds of talents come from the capital, wouldn't everyone in the world talk about the capital and the Son of Heaven? By then, even if those vassals are unwilling, what can they do?

"Don't forget to strengthen yourself, otherwise your territory, property, women, and everything else will belong to others." Wang Sheng looked at the Son of Heaven's pig-like appearance of dreaming and reminded him in time.

The Son of Heaven is not a fool. If that really happens, I am afraid that the major vassals will unite to crusade against him. Therefore, some things can be thought about, but before there is complete power to protect oneself, it is better to be honest and down-to-earth.

"I'll listen to you, this Royal Academy of Music, Royal Academy of Architecture?" Speaking of architecture, the Son of Heaven felt that the Royal Academy of Architecture seemed a bit unpleasant, or not grand enough, and hesitated: "Isn't this name very suitable?"

"Then it's called the Royal Academy of Arts, which is divided into various specialized areas such as musical instruments, conducting, composition, dance, etc., and architecture is also included." Wang Sheng gave the Son of Heaven an idea in a blink of an eye. There are tons of these things on Earth, and you can come up with them by thinking about them.

"And dance?" The Son of Heaven was taken aback. Is Wang Sheng planning to elevate all those people who used to be singers and dancers to the level of artists?

"Unique music can stimulate spiritual energy fluctuations." Wang Sheng smiled and replied, "Other forms are also possible, but we haven't found a method yet."

"Then count it in!" The Son of Heaven nodded without saying a word. Isn't it just a few dancers for experimentation? Maybe it will be successful.

Real dance masters may have high cultivation bases themselves, so naturally they dare not order them around, but there are plenty of ordinary ones. How they used to play is still how they play now. There is no difference, but it gives people an extra thought, which is also good.

"Draw a ward in the capital, move everyone inside away, and change it a bit to turn it into this Royal Academy of Arts." Wang Sheng didn't care about the Son of Heaven's thoughts and continued, "These places are easy to handle, but the problem is, where are you going to find these relevant experts to be teachers?"

Where are there the most experts in all walks of life? Apart from the major vassal states, it is Linglong Pavilion. Wang Sheng reminded the Son of Heaven a long time ago to find a way to win over Linglong Pavilion. I don't know how the effort is going. I might as well take this opportunity to ask.

"Linglong Pavilion hasn't said anything yet." The Son of Heaven's face turned red. The progress in this area is really unsatisfactory. Linglong Pavilion doesn't respond to soft or hard tactics, and the Son of Heaven can't force it, so he can only be stuck here.

"Then you can only spend money first." Wang Sheng shook his head in disappointment. If even a Linglong Pavilion can't be settled, the court can only busy itself with some minor things. It's not that Wang Sheng doesn't want to take them, but they are too frustrated. Wang Sheng can easily handle things that the court can't handle. Maybe this is the difference.

"And titles!" The Son of Heaven is definitely not a fool. The incompetence of the people below does not mean that the Son of Heaven has no brains. He quickly added: "Honorary titles, like Master Yu, as long as they teach at the Royal Academy of Arts, they will be given an honorary baronet."

"Okay!" Wang Sheng nodded. This honorary title is beneficial without being expensive, but it can greatly enhance the status of those masters, which is just right for them.

In a few words, a Royal Academy of Arts has been finalized. The tacit understanding between the two is amazing now.

"Tell me, when will I not have to worry about the vassals all over the world?" The Son of Heaven suddenly felt something and asked Wang Sheng.

"When you dare to tear down the walls of the capital." Wang Sheng looked up at the Son of Heaven and replied directly.

"Tear down the walls of the capital?" The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up instantly, staring at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng didn't care, he drank his wine. The steward Zhou next to him directly raised his heart to his throat. The Son of Heaven's eyes were obviously angry. What couldn't the Changsheng Duke say, but he actually said that he wanted to tear down the walls of the capital. The Second Prince had just rebelled last time, and the result had not yet been dealt with. Isn't Wang Sheng sprinkling salt on the Son of Heaven's wounds?

However, soon, the Son of Heaven's eyes softened. He seemed to understand what Wang Sheng wanted to say. Wang Sheng was talking about the walls of the capital, not the walls of the imperial city. And to be honest, what is the use of the walls of the capital now? Apart from defending against ordinary people, can they defend against the masters of the major vassals? It's clearly just a show.

When the Son of Heaven really dares to tear down the walls of the capital with peace of mind, it means that the Son of Heaven has won over the hearts of the residents in the capital. With the support of the people, what difference does it make whether there are walls or not? On the contrary, if there are no walls, it will make the people more loyal.

"I hope there will be such a day!" The Son of Heaven sighed and said no more. But he kept rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, when he first met Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng scared him, otherwise if he had dealt with Wang Sheng recklessly, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would have been someone else by now. Where would there be the current scenery and future hope?

This meeting gave the Son of Heaven a hope, but it also made the Son of Heaven a little bleak. Of course, the main reason was not Wang Sheng, but his courtiers who were responsible for handling affairs. After such a long time, they still haven't won over Linglong Pavilion. They are not as useful as Wang Sheng alone. They are really all rice buckets.

As for why Wang Sheng suddenly talked about tearing down the walls of the capital, the Son of Heaven would not simply think that Wang Sheng just wanted to talk about the walls. Although what Wang Sheng said was indeed reasonable, the Son of Heaven always felt that Wang Sheng was reminding him of something.

"What does he mean?" The Son of Heaven summoned the three great offerings and asked.

The latest novel is first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

The three great offerings looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke, and no one dared to speak! They are all old and refined people, how could they not see that the Son of Heaven is in trouble?

When the Second Prince rebelled last time, Wang Sheng relieved the Son of Heaven's crisis. At that time, the Son of Heaven said that the Second Prince and the others would be interrogated for a few days, and their heads would be sent up after the interrogation. But now it's good. Wang Sheng went to the core area of ​​Qianjuedi and has been gone for half a year. The Second Prince and the old ancestors of those royal families are still honestly locked in the heavenly prison. When did they send them over?

The Son of Heaven is asking about this now? Who knows if Wang Sheng wants the Second Prince's head, who dares to answer?

"What do you think, if there is no punishment after rebellion, what will happen in the future?" The Son of Heaven suddenly seemed to understand and asked the three.

"Then maybe everyone will be thinking about rebelling once if they have the opportunity." Chief Li replied without hesitation this time: "Anyway, there will be no loss."
