President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

After everyone knew about it, they looked at Li Tan in shock: Can you guess this?

Li Tan pretended to be in control of the situation on the surface, but he was actually relieved: Zhu Xieli is reliable after all.

He didn't need to guess to know that Zhu Xieli must have done something.

But didn't Zhu Xieli say that he was going to join An Qingzong?How did An Qingxu become the winner?

No, since An Qingxu was taken back to Luoyang, he is not the winner either.

So... An Qingxu probably has no chance to bribe An Lushan's servant to assassinate An Lushan.

Then An Qingzong died and An Qingxu was arrested. If An Qingxu was not released, who would be next?

No matter who it is, Chang'an has a chance to breathe.

There was a flash of relief on Ji He's face, but there was still a new problem, that is, the refugee issue, so he ran to Prince Ning's Mansion to discuss with Li.

When he got there, Li Tan was eating an extra meal. He has been busy recently, and his appetite has increased a lot.

Li Tan didn't pretend to be with Ji, he let him in and said, "Let's eat something together with Ji Weng."

Ji He glanced at the table subconsciously, and then felt a little sad—there were only two or three dishes on the table, and all of them were vegetarian dishes. He even saw among them the wild vegetables that poor people often eat!

If this thing was changed before, King Ning might not even know what it is!

It is precisely because of this that Ji He suddenly realized that after the sage left, all the money in the treasury was emptied in order to maintain the order in Chang'an. After King Ning came, all kinds of expenses increased.

Even if he is rich, how long can he support it?

Ji He couldn't help but said: "Your Highness...why do you just eat these?"

Li Tan asked him to sit down and said, "What's the matter, isn't this very good? By the way, what's the matter with you coming to me in such a hurry?"

Ji He had no choice but to put the dishes aside, and said, "Recently, there are more and more refugees in Chang'an, Your Highness... how to deal with this?"

After saying this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed. The resettlement of these refugees should have been his responsibility, but now he doesn't have the ability to do so.

After all, there are more and more refugees. Although Chang'an seems to be in dire straits, it is still possible to live in the end. Compared with the occupied Luozhou and Jinzhou, Chang'an is still safe after all.

Being able to run from Luozhou and Jinzhou to Chang'an these days has exhausted many people's strength, and if they are asked to run again, they don't know where else to run.

After hearing this, Li Tan also felt a headache, thought for a while and said, "The academy... let's rebuild some houses."

The main reason for choosing that place is that the terrain there is open, and it is relatively close to Chang'an City, so that it is easy to manage what happens.

Ji He was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then asked: "But this person..."

Li Tan said: "I know what you are worried about, let those refugees pay for their work! Build their own houses for them, don't they contribute?"

Ji He thought about the same reason, but he asked with some worry: "But the money for building the house may not be easy to support."

What Ji He was worried about was not the treasury of Jingzhao Mansion. In fact, the treasury of Jingzhao Mansion was already empty, and all the drastic things that Li Tan did after he came were paid by himself.

But when things like money are always used up, Ji He is now worried about Li Tan's money bag.

Li Tan said: "It's not necessary to build something too good, it's almost enough, and it's always enough."

Ji He was silent for a long while and said: "Your Highness, now Chang'an relies on His Highness, Your Highness must take care of your health, the matter of the house... I will think about a solution."

Li Tan froze for a moment with his chopsticks in his mouth, then turned to look at Ji He, only to find that he was looking at the dishes on the table with a heartbroken expression on his face.

Li Tan couldn't help laughing and said, "You... think I won't be able to eat? No way, I can't treat myself badly. The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and I'm getting a little angry because I'm busy. I want to eat some light food, but I still can’t eat meat dishes if you ask me.”

But Ji He still refused to believe it. In the past, during the summer vacation, the nobles always had various ways to cool off the heat, and there were a lot of soups and soups.

He had never heard of anyone using wild vegetables to defeat the fire!

Although wild vegetables are indeed quite popular, they shouldn't be on Li Tan's dinner table!

What's more, heat doesn't have ice... Huh?What about the ice basin?

Ji He looked around and found that there was no ice basin. He couldn't help but feel even more sad, and his eyes turned red—the dignified prince can't even afford to use the ice basin, and His Highness's money has been filled into this big hole in Chang'an.

Li Tan looked at Ji He in bewilderment as if he was about to cry, and for a moment didn't understand which point hit him.

It is true that there are many ways to fight the fire, one of which is to drink herbal tea or eat some cold food, but he doesn’t like those very much, and he also wants to try these wild vegetables to see if ordinary people can survive this way .

If he can't support it, he has to think of other ways, how can he survive this period of time.

As for the ice basin... He had an extra meal in the garden on a whim today. Who puts the ice basin in the open air?

Ji He's obviously short-circuited his brain because he got into a dead end.

And no matter what Li Tan explained, he refused to believe it. In the end, Li Tan could only say tiredly: "Don't worry so much. If you are really short of money, I will transfer you from Liangzhou."

Ji He was even more sad when he heard that, how long has Li Tan been in Liangzhou, and how much property can he have there?

In most people's cognition, they feel that Li Tan will return to Chang'an sooner or later, and he will definitely put most of his family wealth in Chang'an.

Therefore, it must be that King Ning has spent almost all of his family's wealth now, and needs to use some of the money he saved in Liangzhou.

After listening for a long time, Li Tan understood what Ji He meant, and felt very embarrassed for a while.

Others think that his money is in Chang'an, but in fact...he has already moved to Liangzhou.

However, he couldn't say this yet, after all, this move was quite inexplicable given the circumstances at the time.

Li Tan had no choice but to keep saying, "Don't worry, you are really rich."

He almost swears to God!

However, when Ji He left, he still didn't seem to believe it. Li Tan was depressed for a while, and after thinking about it, he decided to let him go.

Anyway, Ji He is just worried. This person who governs Chang'an is a good talent. However, in terms of economy...he can't be said to be bad, and he can be regarded as outstanding among the current officials.

But compared to Li Tan's cheating, it's naturally not good.

At present, even Li Tan has no better way to make money. The situation in Chang'an is more complicated than the newly built city.

Facing these government affairs, Li Tan misses Liangzhou every day.

Just when Li Tan decided to let Ji He let himself go and make up his mind, Zou Shi came.

He didn't just come alone, he also brought a bunch of officials.

Li Tan stared at the group of people dumbfounded while holding the bowl, and asked after a long time: "What are you doing? Did you come here to watch me eat together?"

If it was An Lushan who called, Li Tan would still think that there might be some emergency, but now that the situation is stable, why are these people swarming here?

Zou Shi nodded after hearing this: "Yeah."

Li Tan put down the bowl and resisted the urge to beat someone up.

Are you still "huh"?

Seeing that Li Tan had a bad expression, Zou Shi turned his head and looked around, and those people actually nodded.

Li Tan realized that these people might not be here to show off cuteness, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Zou Shigong said: "Your Highness, there are a group of treasures left by saints hidden on the left, please use them, Your Highness."

Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "The sage left behind treasures?"

Seeing Li Tan's surprised look, Zou Shi said, "When passing through Zuo Zang, the sage learned that the Anlu Mountain army was approaching, so he placed some cumbersome treasures in Zuo Zang. At that time, Yang Guozhong wanted to destroy them. But the sage said...if there is no money, An Lushan will persecute the people, so these treasures can be preserved."

Li Tan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "The rebels' desires are endless, and these treasures can't satisfy them."

The only function is that Li Longji used it to comfort himself, telling himself that it's not that he hasn't thought about these people.

But since Li Longji left the money, Li Tan unceremoniously expropriated it.

It was only later that Li Tan found out that after Ji He went out, he discussed with Zou Shi and the others. He felt that the money should be used, because he wanted to exchange money for the stability of the common people.

Isn't it the same to use another way now?

Li Tan couldn't help but smile slightly when he knew about it, this is what he especially admired about Ji He, he was upright but not pedantic, and he used the doctrine of the golden mean very well.

Li Tan asked people to take out the treasures hidden in Zuo, and when the treasures arrived, he realized that he thought he was a rich man before, and he was like a frog in a well!

These treasures are worth three times his entire net worth!

After the treasure was brought over, Ji He ran to ask Li Tan where he kept it.

Of course, he wanted to ask Li Tan if he wanted to put it in the palace. After all, these treasures belonged to Li Longji, and now Chang'an Li Tan is the only person who is qualified to inherit these treasures.

After he came over, he heard Li Tan say: "Put it in the Chang'an treasury."

Ji He: ...

Won't you save some for yourself?

Li Tan really never thought of leaving some for himself. Originally, these treasures were intended to be used to rebuild Chang'an, so what is it for him to leave a little?

What's more, he is really not short of money.

Ji He tried to persuade him again, but seeing that Li Tan was determined and didn't know what to say, he left very worried.

Li Tan was quite dumbfounded. Others were ministers advising the king not to be too extravagant and to spend less money.

How did it become that when he came to him, the officials were worried that he would not have enough money to eat?

After being helpless, Li Tan had to go back and write a memorial to inform Li Longji: I have used the treasure you left behind.

Although it is said to be a memorial, it is actually just a notice.

After Li Tan finished writing, he felt that Li Longji's prestige had indeed dropped to a certain point. People like him who were particularly cowardly in the past were not afraid that he would get angry, let alone others.

Now I just don't know when Li Heng will let Li Longji abdicate.

But in history, after the fall of Chang'an, Li Heng went north to Lingwu. If he defended Chang'an... Will Li Heng come back to succeed?In that case, he probably wouldn't become the only emperor in the Tang Dynasty who didn't succeed in Chang'an.

Li Tan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, turned around and sent out the memorial, and then began to pay attention to the recent food prices in Chang'an.

He really didn't like to take care of these trivial things before, and left most of them to Gongsun Chui.

However, who will the heavens spare? If he can hide from Liangzhou, he will not be able to hide from Chang'an.

Li Tan sometimes likes to go out and take a look when investigating grain prices. Anyway, there are no such things as TV and newspapers these days.

Many people in Chang'an knew his name, but not many had seen him in real life. As long as he disguised himself a little, no one would recognize him.

It's just that today he encountered a special situation. When he went to the grain store, he happened to meet a guy who was carrying grain out.

Li Tan couldn't help asking strangely: "What is this for? Are you transporting it away?"

Seeing that he was well-dressed and looked like a young man from a wealthy family, the man picked up a cloth towel to wipe off his sweat and said with a smile, "These are all going to be sent to the palace."

Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Wangfu? Which Wangfu?"

The man smiled and said, "Which palace could it be? Of course it belongs to His Royal Highness King Ning."

Li Tan felt strange, although the palace would also order food and other things from these merchants, they delivered them on time every day.

Although he didn't know the exact time, he also knew that it was usually in the morning or evening.

He nodded thoughtfully and said, "How much is the prince's mansion buying from you?"

Although he knew that the other party might not tell him, he couldn't help asking.

The man immediately said: "We are going to give this to His Highness King Ning, so we don't need money!"

Li Tan was shocked: "Why do you want to send it? Doesn't the palace give money for shopping?"

Li Tan had already started thinking in his mind, if this was the case, how he would rectify the palace when he went back.

After all, this matter is too bad, how can the grain merchant give it away for nothing?

As a result, when he was thinking about it, he heard the assistant say very unhappy: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that the palace doesn't give money? Our boss gave it voluntarily!"

Li Tan looked at him with some puzzlement: "Why?"

The clerk said earnestly, "What? Don't you know? Hey, in order to save Chang'an, His Highness King Ning has started to eat wild vegetables in the field."

Li Tan:? ? ? ? ?

Ji He, are you still a big mouth?It's all spread out?

Seeing the shocked expression on Li Tan's face, the buddy continued to give him a lot of popular science, such as what has been added to Chang'an recently, the people have started to live and work in peace and contentment again, and even the refugees have resettlement regulations.

To be honest, the people in Chang'an can feel the changes most personally.

It was so prosperous and peaceful at the beginning, and then it almost became the most chaotic place in the whole Tang Dynasty when there was chaos. Now it can be peaceful again, and the common people are the happiest.

And the words that came out of these people's mouths made Li Tan feel that he had done a lot.

It's just that the assistant said: "His Royal Highness King Ning is going to rebuild the academy again, and he may soon hold an imperial examination to select scholars. For this, His Highness has started to eat chaff and drink..."

The guy was about to cry as he spoke, and he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and wiped his eyes.

Li Tan looked at the buddy in bewilderment: "Wait a minute, when did I say I was going to rebuild the academy?"

Although he was angry and sad about the burning of the academy before, he never thought about rebuilding it.

After all, rebuilding would consume too much manpower and material resources, and Li Tan really couldn't support it now.

And the most important thing is... What the hell is it to get a scholar?Is this something he can do?Even if it is authorized by the imperial court, it will not work, at least until Li Heng comes to barely have this qualification.

Seeing the emotion the guy said, Li Tan almost called him a saint. Oh, now a real saint is nothing in their hearts.

Li Tan especially wanted to tell the guy that he wasn't that good.

However, whenever he said a rebuttal, the buddy would immediately turn his back on him, and Li Tan had no choice but to let him go.

When he left West Market, he was in a daze, feeling that the rumors had gone out of shape.

After he returned to the palace, he decided to bring Ji He over for a heart-to-heart talk. Although he could understand that the people of Chang'an needed a "protector god", he couldn't spread it too much, right?

Is it true that if you can't eat anything, you have to eat wild vegetables?

He didn't even know why he went to try wild vegetables in a sudden brain twitch. How could he be seen by such a coincidence?

Where is the reasoning here now?

When Ji He heard what Li Tan said, he immediately said: "It's not from the lower officials! The lower officials just informed the Minister of Dali Temple that day."

Hearing these words, Li Tan suddenly remembered that after Ji He left that day, Dali Siqing did indeed run over, not only did he come, but also brought a group of other officials with him.

At that time, Li Tan thought that these people were here to let him unseal the treasures left by Li Longji, but now that he thinks about it... the whole city of Chang'an is now rumoring that he can't afford to eat, and I'm afraid it's part of the credit for these people.

Li Tan said with quite a headache: "The more rumors are made, the more evil it is. It has already started to spread that I will rebuild the academy and start a course to obtain scholars. This is putting me on the fire."

Although the imperial court... is now a wandering imperial court, it cannot be treated as if it does not exist!

Ji He was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be that... the massive construction work at the original site of the academy has caused people to misunderstand it?"

Li Tan sighed: "Hurry up and clear up the misunderstanding, some people are already wondering if they can also go to the academy to study."

Ji He was silent for a while before saying: "This must not have come from the mouth of an official, that is, the people distorted the facts in the process of rumors, but, Your Highness..."

When Li Tan saw Ji He's posture as if he wanted to talk to him, he felt a little bad, so he couldn't help but raise his vigilance and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji He said: "Everyone must focus on the academy because they care about the academy. Are you really not going to rebuild it?"

Li Tan sighed: "The reconstruction is not now, what's the use of building it now?"

Ji He smiled: "Why is it useless? Reading is useful anytime."

Li Tan said, "But it's not suitable now."

Ji He asked: "Where is it not suitable?"

Li Tan opened his mouth and suddenly felt a little stuck. He wanted to say that the timing was not right.

But the problem is that An Lushan hasn't called yet, and no one knows when he will come. What's more, what if he is stopped by the rebels?

Is everything in Chang'an going to be shut down because of this?

Li Tan shook his head and said, "Wait, let me stroke it."

Ji He laughed and shook his head: "Your Highness is under too much pressure, so we don't want to let it go. In any case, we have done everything we can. Unless we take the initiative to attack, His Highness has already achieved the ultimate in defense, hasn't he?"

Li Tan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the reason, so he sighed and said, "I thought I was quite relaxed, but I didn't expect to feel the pressure."

Ji He thinks it is normal, An Lushan is a famous veteran, and his subordinates are capable people, at least those foreign races are really good at fighting.

Even at An Qingzong's age, he could be Li Tan's father. It would be abnormal if he didn't have any pressure on these people.

Li Tan thought for a while and said, "Do you think the academy should be rebuilt?"

Ji He asked: "Is Your Highness afraid?"

Li Tan was inexplicable: "What are you afraid of?"

Ji He said: "His Royal Highness's reputation in Chang'an is the same for a while. If we build an academy again, I'm afraid it will be feared by people in the future."

Ji He didn't say who would be afraid of him, but what he meant was very clear. Who else would be afraid of him besides the crown prince?

After thinking about it seriously, Li Tan said: "If he wants to be afraid of me, even if I don't build an academy, the current situation is enough to make him afraid."

Ji He asked: "Then what does His Highness plan to do?"

Li Tan smiled slightly: "I still have to thank Father, he gave me a talisman."

If Li Tan is still the son of the East Palace, then if he does this now, if Li Heng fears him in the future, he can be executed directly.

It is a matter of course for Lao Tzu to kill his son. No one can control him. At most, he can only accuse him of doing something wrong. The King Jianning in history has made such a high contribution. Wouldn't he just kill him if he said so?

However, now that Li Tan has become Dong Gong's younger brother, it's not something he can kill if he says so.

Even if Li Tan really rebelled, he can only be confined, and if Li Tan has no inclination in this regard, but he guesses, at most it will deprive Li Tan of his military power, prevent him from contacting the real power department, and let him be raised.

Li Tan doesn't care about this. In fact, he doesn't like the busy life like a spinning top at all.

He just wanted to be a salted fish, masturbating the little panda Zhiyi every day, molesting the big cat Yinxing, life is really happy.

If Li Heng really let him live comfortably, he would still be grateful to him.

Seeing that Li Tan understood clearly, Ji He didn't say much, but said: "If His Highness doesn't care, then why hesitate?"

Li Tan felt that the direction of the conversation was not right, why was he hesitant?He didn't think about it at all.

Ji He's position...is a bit strange.

Li Tan decided to talk to Zou Shi again, hey, thinking about the size of Chang'an City, there are only two people who can discuss important matters with him, which is really embarrassing.

Although Li Tan didn't understand the problem of talking about Jihe with Zou Shi, what kind of person Zou Shi didn't meet in Dali Temple?

What's more, Ji He is a magnanimous gentleman, and he has never concealed his intentions, but it seems that His Highness King Ning didn't think about that.

So Zou Shi said: "Your Highness, the reason why Lao Ji did this is just because he wanted to push the poor family."

Li Tan was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then understood what Zou Shi meant. Thinking about Ji He's background, he wanted to help more people in the same situation as him.

But now in Chang'an City, almost all the wealthy families have left. If Li Tan rebuilds the academy, even if the number of students enrolled is not as high as before, the chances of ordinary people enrolling will be much greater than before.

After Li Tan understood it, he sighed and said, "Young man from a poor family... hey."

Hearing Li Tan's tone, Zou Shi didn't seem to really want to push back the poor family, so he couldn't help but asked in doubt, "Does your Highness have any concerns?"

Li Tan said: "Among the children of poor families, such characters as Ji Weng are rare. I'm not saying that they are bad, but...the cost for them to do wrong things is too low."

Zou Shi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what the so-called cost was too low—it was just because they had no worries, and the worst was not as bad as the previous situation.

Zou Shi asked: "What does His Highness mean..."

Li Tan said worriedly: "Hey, what else can I do? Recruit less and be stricter. Once you find that there is a problem with your character... well, it doesn't seem appropriate to drive out. Anyway, it's on the record. Don't give too much trouble." important position."

Zou Shi didn't care. He felt that Li Tan was still a little naive. Chang'an is extremely short of people. There is a problem with using that character.

Li Tan directly found out the blueprints when Langhuan Academy was built, and then said: "Langhuan Book Pavilion will not be built for the time being, it will take too much manpower and material resources, other teaching buildings can be built, but... Come on, where are the refugees arranged?"

Headache, very headache. The reason why I chose the academy site was because it was spacious enough. Now it is really not easy to find another one.

Zou Shi said directly: "Just ask Lao Ji, he will have a solution."

Li Tan raised his eyebrows and called Ji He over, and then he heard Ji He say: "There are so many manors without owners, how can there be no place?"

Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Is there any ownerless Zhuangzi around Chang'an?"

Not to mention that there is fertile soil around Chang'an, and this geographical location will not leave them vacant for too long, and someone will always buy them.

Ji He asked: "Your Highness, do you think how many hermits there were before Chang'an?"

Li Tan understood Ji He's meaning in an instant. The existence of hermit households has been indispensable in all dynasties. In the final analysis, it is just to pay less taxes.

Hermit households also have their own fields, and those fields belong to them, but they are listed under the names of certain officials.

Now that most of the wealthy families in Chang'an are fleeing, it is also a good time to count the number of hidden households. Even Ji He dared not move lightly before, but now he finally has a chance.

Li Tan saw that Ji He seemed to be very happy, so he said helplessly: "Go and check, and see which places are better for resettling people."

Ji He left happily. Li Tan and Zou Shi were not worried that he would act out of line. After all, Zhuangzi belonged to the officials seriously. They had a land deed in their hands, and Jing Zhaoyin also had a backup. At that time, Ji He kept these files very well, for fear that something would happen.

Of course, if it was Li Tan who was black-hearted, he might be set on fire, and then these resources would be redistributed.

As for the land deeds that those people originally had, that will be discussed at that time.

But I have to say that the sequelae of Li Tan's method are quite troublesome.

After he handed over this matter to Ji He, he turned around and began to modify the construction method of the academy.

He didn't intend to call Meng Zhiya over. The agency would do what it could according to the original blueprint, and let it go if it couldn't. After all, everything was kept simple at this time.

At the beginning, he worked hard to build the academy like an iron barrel, thinking that even if Anlu Mountain came, he would not be able to harm the people inside, but what happened?

The students thought it was safe inside and took in refugees, but they didn't expect to die at the hands of their own people.

In this case, Li Tan would rather build the academy in a more general way, not so strong, as long as it can resist certain enemies and give the students a chance to escape.

If you don't run, you will die, if you run, you may still live.

When Ji He saw the blueprint that Li Tan gave him, he found that there were many escape routes in the academy, even tunnels. Of course, the tunnels are top secret, and students usually don't know about them.

Through this blueprint, Ji He found that although Li Tan didn't say anything, the tragedy at the academy was probably a scar in his heart.

After the intensive construction of the academy began, Li Tan began to think about Mr.

He has discovered that every time he builds an academy, the first thing he worries about is not the source of students, but the teachers.

After all, judging by his standards, there are not many people who are qualified to be teachers. He even began to think about whether he should not be so tall and tall, and he might as well start the enlightenment class together.

Directly come to a school that integrates elementary school to university. It seems that there are a lot of students recruited in this way, but in fact there are not many students who have been allocated.

And he did this in Liangzhou before, so it's not too difficult to do it again here. The textbooks are ready-made, and the grading system is ready-made, just need to change it.

Li Tan did what he said, and he turned his head to find Ji He.

However, he couldn't bear to ask Ji He to work so frequently, especially after seeing that Ji He's temples had obviously grown a lot of white hair and his cheeks had lost a lot of weight, he felt even more guilty.

"It's too much work for Ji Weng to be able. After a while, I really have to take an exam and choose someone to share the heavy burden for you."

Of course, this certainly cannot be said to be the selection of scholars through the imperial examination. It means that the palace needs talents, and the selection through examinations has the same meaning. As long as they are not promoted to that level, it will be fine.

Ji He smiled and said, "That's a good relationship."

He also hopes that someone can help.

Li Tan said: "You can leave this matter to other people. I have already issued the test papers and drawn up the regulations."

Ji He took the document handed over by Li Tan, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the words on it: "Hey, Your Highness is the one who can do more work."

As long as there are no major problems with the above things, what Ji He needs to do is to run errands to count the number of people and other tasks. The time and place of the exam have not yet been determined, anyway, it is just to give the people of Chang'an City a hope.

Those who can read should devote themselves to reading, and don't hang around outside when you have nothing to do.

After all, Li Tan also discovered recently that scholars are the most difficult to control, especially those who like to read history, their associative ability is simply amazing.

Just find something for them to do.

Ji He left with the charter, and Li Tan, who was looking for something to do for others, soon had something to do—Wang Jijiu and Dr. Qiu from Guozixue came to the door!

When Li Tan heard their names, he was in a daze. Those years of studying and teaching at Guozixue seemed to be a lifetime ago, but in fact, less than three years have passed.

He still respects these two, especially Dr. Qiu, who really devotes himself to research and learning.

After Li Tan asked the two to be invited to Xiaohua Hall, he pushed off his business and went to see them happily. This was probably the first time he felt that visiting guests was a wonderful thing.

Li Tan originally thought of a lot of greetings on the way to the Xiaohua Hall, but he forgot all of them as soon as he entered the Xiaohua Hall, and said in surprise, "How did the two of you get so clear?"

Isn't that right, Dr. Qiu's hair is almost completely white, and his back is a little bent, making him a skinny little old man.

Wang Jijiu, who was originally a bit blessed, is now in an extremely healthy body, and his temples are also quite gray.

It's only been a few years, how did it become like this?

Seeing Li Tan's surprised look, Wang Jijiu smiled and said, "I never expected to see Your Highness again in my lifetime."

Although he had a mediocre relationship with Wang Jijiu before, Wang Jijiu is not considered a bad person, but he is not as pure as Dr. Qiu.

As the Guozijian sacrificial wine, he is still qualified.

After sitting them down, Li Tan asked, "How is Guozixue doing now?"

He was a little ashamed in his heart. After returning to Chang'an, he cared about a lot of things, but he didn't care about what Guozixue was like. Maybe subconsciously he still felt that it was a state organ and he couldn't easily reach out.

The smile on Wang Jijiu's face became a bit bitter: "Where is there any Guozixue now?"

Li Tan was slightly taken aback: "How come..."

Dr. Qiu said very impatiently from the side: "Hesitating, what's there to hide? Isn't it that those people have all left? If you want me to say they're gone, what's the use of them?"

Li Tan asked, "Who left?"

Dr. Qiu said: "All those from Guozixue and Taixue have left, only those from Simenguan have stayed."

After Li Tan heard this, he was silent. Guozixue and Taixue were both the children of the high-ranking Marquis. Li Longji ran away, and the high-ranking Marquis followed suit. Naturally, they would not stay in Chang'an.

The four gates are all civilians, but even if civilians can enter the Guozijian, they have certain abilities. If they want to leave Chang'an, they may not be unable to do so.

It's just that they all stayed.

After a long while, he said, "Are all the gentlemen of the Imperial College still there?"

After hearing this, Dr. Qiu choked up and said, "A few... died for the country."

Li Tan was slightly taken aback: "Martyrdom?"

Wang Jijiu was also very emotional: "After the saint abandoned the city, these few felt that Chang'an would soon fall, so they decided to die for the country. If they wait any longer..."

This is the first time for Li Tan to face the despair brought about by Li Longji's abandonment of the city. Among those who died in the city was Dr. Chen who once taught him.

Wang Jijiu said a few more words, the current situation of Guozixue is not very good, the entire imperial court has left, Guozixue is in a rather embarrassing situation - although the status is high, but without the support of the state, It is not easy for Guozixue to persevere.

Now those students are starting to think of ways to make money, but the only way out in Changan today is if they are willing to work hard.

Hearing this, Li Tan felt that the two people who came to him today must have something to do with this, but before he could speak, Dr. Qiu said, "Okay, okay, are you tired of beating around the bush? Your Highness, we are here today." I want to ask, can Guozixue be merged into the academy?"

The author has something to say: My God, half a month has finally passed, and the [-] o'clock update will resume today, and... **New regulations, the first time you modify a chapter is free, and you need money after that, yes, you didn't Misunderstood, the author needs money to modify the chapter, so I am proofreading the manuscript, sorry, the outbreak is really gone QAQ
