Datang Library

You have a really big heart. If you go out for a year or so, I’m afraid you won’t know that the old man will be gone when you come back. A few days ago, the old man was still thinking, if the old man passed away, your boy It seems to be a pity not to be there, after all, it is not easy to be able to make a friend. "Old Li Gang was also in a good mood, and even made a joke.

But this joke is really not funny at all, at least, Bai Fan didn't laugh, because he can see that Li Gang is indeed old, and he is faltering in his old age, showing his old state.

Chapter 897 The academy needs a new vice president

Looking at old Li Gang's current appearance, Bai Fan couldn't help but feel a sore nose and choked up his sobs as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Wen Ji! You...

Hey, I got you in trouble! "

Li Gang took Bai Fan's hand and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, people are mortal. Li Gang lived to be 84 years old, and he should have gone to report to Lord Yan long ago. Such a long life is enough.

I have been dealing with teaching and educating people all my life. I thought that after taking Jin Wang Li Jiancheng with me, I would retire at home. I didn’t expect to meet you and to do the grand event of Zhongnan Academy with you. This life is worth it up. "

"If Zhongnan Academy hadn't worked hard for you for the past ten years, you might live to be a hundred years old." Bai Fan chuckled, but there were some tears in his smile.

"Don't you kid often laugh at us and say that ambition doesn't lie in being old and ignorant? What do you want to do if you don't succeed in anything? My lifelong wish is to die on the seat of a gentleman in the academy.

After ten years of hard work, Zhongnan College has finally become the mainstay of the country. It’s not that you, Bai Fan, have troubled me, but you, Bai Fan, have made me a success. Don’t be so childish anymore. You are not my son or grandson, but a friend , you and I are like-minded, don't you still not see it? "Li Gang persuaded Bai Fan.

"Hey, it's not that I can't see it. I want you to live to be one hundred or two hundred years old. If you can stay with me for a few more days, it's not enough between you and me." Bai Fan said.

"Haha, well said, don't worry, am I still alive? I won't die for a while.

Old friends meet again, let's have a drink today?Drinking this fine wine your boy made every day, I feel as if I can live to be more than 100 years old. "

Seeing that old Li Gang looked so happy, Bai Fan didn't worry about it any more, and he was simply happy for a while. In the teacher's villa, Bai Fan cooked a few side dishes by himself, and drank with Li Gang.

"Brother Wen Ji, although your spirit is good, your body is not what it used to be, and you have never practiced martial arts to keep in good health, so your legs and feet are no longer flexible. If there is anything you need, I will help you. I think you need to add The two servant girls are serving." Bai Fan persuaded.

"Come less, come less. Ever since I lived in this academy, the old man is no longer used to the maids and servants. My wife passed away the year before last, and now the old man is used to taking care of himself, so I don't need anything." Li Gang insisted.

"Is there really no shortage of anything? But I heard from brother Shubao that you are teaching now because students come here to ask you for advice. It's not good to be old, don't lose face."

Li Gang snorted coldly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The old man just walked slowly on the way to class. He, Qin Qiong, treated me differently as an old and weak person. He wanted to settle accounts with him a long time ago, and he came to you to talk about it?"

I... Bai Fan really wanted to laugh, you old man, you're already 83, aren't you old and weak?If you are not, then who is old and weak?Who is Qin Qiong?I am?Why is this character so tough?

"However, if you really say that there is something lacking, the old man thinks that the academy needs a deputy dean in charge of literature and teaching. The old man has more than enough energy but not enough strength. Qin Qiong is a martial artist, so he can't do this.

You kid is good at everything, but as a busy person, you often have nothing to do, so it's not very reliable. "Li Gang suggested.

Bai Fan was lying on the gun, why was he classified as unreliable?

"Don't worry, I won't run away anymore, I'll just guard the academy, guard your old age, drink and play chess with you every day, how about cooking for you?"

"Don't, don't, you are a master chef in the world. It is said that the appearance fee is very expensive. The old man can't afford such an expensive cook with my monthly salary." Li Gang waved his hands again and again.

Bai Fan gulped down the fine wine, he didn't expect this old man to have a talent for comedy.

"Brother Wen Ji, I really want to live in seclusion in the academy and teach with peace of mind. The outside world is too chaotic, and I don't fit in with me, but everything seems to be related to me, and I can't hide from it.

Just before I came here today, I had to personally execute a genius student of the chemical engineering department of the Academy because of the student's leak to the Boling Cui family. This feeling is really too painful.

You are also a master, so you should be able to feel the feeling of betrayal by an apprentice.

Although I call it cleaning the door, the relationship of many years cannot be broken by killing a word. "

Facing Li Gang, Bai Fan spoke his mind.

Li Gang nodded and sighed: "This is indeed the truth! Before there was Li Mingxin, and later there was the Boling Cui family, hehe, this group of people, for their own benefit, just bury generations of talents like this? It's really insane. "

The two of them were relatively silent, just drinking one cup after another, Bai Fan forgot that Li Gang had to limit his drinking when he got older.

"But don't worry about it too much. After all, I don't blame you as a master. Who can achieve perfection? Just have a clear conscience.

You once said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Datang has just started, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done. Without you, Bai Fan, how many years will it take for Datang to really fly?So, if you have to run, you have to go out. I have already found this candidate for the vice president of civil affairs, and I am waiting for you to come back and invite someone. "

What?I... Bai Fan almost choked on the wine, you old man, why are you still playing first and then playing?The deputy dean didn't discuss with me about such a big matter. It's all right now, you have already said hello and said hello. If I really refuse, wouldn't that offend someone?

"I wonder which scholar and Confucianist you like?" Bai Fan asked tentatively.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, it's not some stubborn rotten scholar, this time he's a man of all talents in civil and military affairs, why don't you take a guess?" Li Gang said convincingly.

Bai Fan rolled his eyes, and the one who can provoke the leader of the academy is still capable of writing and martial arts, "Could it be that it is Du Keming? No, he is now His Majesty's right-hand man, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty said that he should be allowed to at least After serving for 20 years, I'm afraid you don't have that much face to steal someone from His Majesty, who would it be?"

Li Gang's face darkened when he heard Bai Fan's words, let you guess, what are you doing to harm people with such a change of law?

"You boy, Du Keming is indeed the best candidate for the vice president. If you can bring me here, I don't have to say anything, and I can personally go and make amends to the previous person."

"Don't, don't, let's just keep talking, you're so clever, I can't guess the kid, but I think Lao Du, from now on, we should invite him after 20 years." Bai Fan quickly waved his hand.

Li Gang took a sip of wine proudly, and slowly said a name, "Former Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies of the Tang Dynasty——Wei Guogong, Li Jing, and Li Pharmacist!"

Chapter 898 The Interesting Li Jing Couple

Bai Fanfan really did not expect that the new vice president of the academy recommended by Li Gang turned out to be his uncle Li Jing.

"Brother Wen Ji, are you right, Duke Wei? My marshal uncle? He was born in the army. If you let him pair up with Brother Shubao, I'm afraid that the academy will be completely controlled by the two of them."

Li Gang laughed and said, "Don't tell me you don't know gold and jade. Li Yaoshi is not an ordinary general. Before he became a marshal, he was a military think tank. He was a well-known Confucian general with all talents in civil and military affairs. Later, he became Minister of the Ministry of War and commanded the entire army. .

The minister of the Ministry of War is a minister, and a pure military general cannot do it. As the saying goes, in his position, the Minister of the Ministry of War is concerned about the overall situation of the country. It is a matter of planning for the country. Don't come to you as the vice president of the academy?

If it wasn't for Li Yaoshi being old and unemployed at home, do you think people would come here to hang out with a bunch of dolls? "

Pfft, Bai Fan almost choked, what does it mean to hang out with a bunch of dolls?What happened to my academy?I am the cradle of national education, the place where the future of the country will be produced, and it can be said that it is the lifeblood of the country. Why can't I accommodate a general?

Besides, there are not only dolls in the academy, but also your group of elderly people. He is an old man in his 60s, and he probably came here to hang out with your group of old guys.

"No, he is my uncle, Bai Fan. He came here to be the vice president. Regardless of his ability, this relationship will definitely be criticized." Bai Fan refused again.

"Relationship? Criticism?

You kid, don't fool me, you Bai Fantian are not afraid of anything, but you are afraid of criticism?Moreover, Zhongnan Academy is your private academy, and you can decide all matters big and small, even His Majesty has no right to intervene. You have always said one thing, so you are afraid that people will gossip at this time?

The sages have said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, why are you restrained instead? "

After being taught a lesson by Li Gang, Bai Fan was speechless and could only nod his head and say think about it.

"You are old and it is inconvenient for you to walk around, and it is also inconvenient for the disciples to come to class here. I'd better arrange it for you." Bai Fan brought up this topic again, this time Li Gang did not object, and nodded in agreement.

Two days later, Bai Fan hesitated for a quarter of an hour outside Chang'an Weiguo's mansion and did not dare to call the door.

Bite the bullet and walked into his aunt's house, Li Jing saw why Bai Fan came, and hurried out to greet him.

"Oh, I've already told Mr. Wen Ji that when I finish writing these two battle strategies, I can just go there by myself. The Academy is not another place, so why do you need to make a serious trip?
