"Nine-rank academician?"

The ministers present were all stunned, with a hint of confusion in their eyebrows, and they always felt that the official name sounded quite strange.

After thinking about it again, I immediately realized that the official in Hongwenguan is called Grand Secretary. You are called Academician, and I feel that Hongwenguan is just a first-class person! It is mainly based on the word "Shi", which is really not a small problem!

The taxi, peasants, industry and commerce in feudal society were very strict regulations and could not be changed at will.

One of them said curiously: "Why haven't you heard of this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "That's because few people pay attention to our Sixth Academy of Sages!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in silence. Indeed, they didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't even want to hear about the Sixth Academy of the Sages. They came here today and were just for support. Moreover, the order was issued directly by Li Zhi and Han Yi was in charge, so they did not pass the hand of several people. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were present, but probably they didn't pay attention, because they lost at that time and were not in the mood.

But then again, the official office is called the Sixth Academy of Sages, and it is actually reasonable for officials to call academicians. If it is too outrageous, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong would definitely object. You call Li Chunfeng, Yan Liben and others as academicians. Even if you, Han Yi, have an academician, no one has any opinions, and in fact, it is not without opinions. The key is that Han Yi is in the limelight now, and you can't stop him. But the problem is - not only do you look at those ninth-grade academicians, but none of them look familiar. Obviously, they are not from the court, and they don't look like scholars from head to toe. I really can't tell which immortal it is.

And those ninth-rank academicians all bowed their heads and showed great timidity.

Han Yi can't stand it anymore. Dear men, you are confident at all. You are really not able to support the wall! He smiled and said, "I'll introduce you to you below. The ninth-rank academicians of our Sixth Academy of Sages are all experienced farmers and craftsmen."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar!

Farmer, craftsman, are you slapping us in the face?

Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben winked and quietly retreated aside. They had known for a long time that many people were interviewed by Li Chunfeng himself. They didn't care about this. You can convince the emperor, so of course we can do whatever we want.

But most of their friends are from the scholars, farmers and craftsmen who are called scholars, wouldn’t they be on par with us?

It is agreed that scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial enterprises, how can this work?

Yang Zhanfei, Zhao Chiman and others also felt that they should keep a distance from Han Yi, and the atmosphere was too wrong.

Han Yi stood alone in it, but with a smile on his face, feeling as if he was arrogant and stands out from the crowd, but his eyes were excited, obviously he came prepared.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the door.

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked in front of the door, but when they saw a group of people entering the door, the leader was Li Zhi. However, Li Zhi was wearing casual clothes today, and when he entered the door, he did not shout slogans. It was obviously a low-key exit from the palace, but he was an emperor after all. Even if he was wearing casual clothes, he was still suave and handsome. He followed the officials of the three provinces including Li Yi Mansion, Xu Jingzong, and Cui Yizhong, but without exception, they were all wearing casual clothes, even very simple.

Han Yi and others rushed forward, just as they were about to salute.

"That's all right."

Li Zhi waved his hand, glanced at him and said in surprise: "Does there be quite a lot of people?"

He actually came to support Han Yi because he expected no one to come to the Sixth Academy of Sages to congratulate him. After all, this was his decision, and he mainly wanted to go to the Royal Library.

Han Yi was about to flatter him a few times, thanking Li Zhi for his support, he immediately said first: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask Your Majesty for confirmation."

This person's name is Fang Zhi, who is a bachelor of Hongwenguan and a friend of Yan Liben.

Li Zhi didn't even take a breath when he got up, and said in surprise: "What's the matter with me asking for verification?"

Fang Zhidao: "Justice Minister Han said that the officials of the Sixth Academy of the Sage were called "Nine-rank Academicians". I wonder if it is true or not?"

Li Zhi also thought for a while before nodding, "It's true, is there anything wrong?"

Fang Zhi said depressedly: "Your Majesty, I call you an academician, but I don't object, but Mr. Han recruits some farmers and craftsmen to be the ninth-rank academicians." As he said that, he also pointed at the ninth-rank academicians, "I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the world's scholars. If you offend the world's scholars for an official title, it's probably not worth the gain. Please think twice."

The senior officials nodded one after another, saying that you are too ill-intentioned and there are no rules at all.

"Farmer? Craftsman?"

Li Zhi was dumbfounded, obviously not knowing the situation, because the Sixth Academy of Sages has only recently started recruiting people. These small officials do not need the emperor's goal to pass the emperor. They even ignored the three provinces. They looked at the ninth-rank academicians and dug troughs, and they were frightened. Are they officials?

Li Yifu was overjoyed, stood up, looked directly at Tang Lin and said, "Shangshu Tang, what's going on?"

Han Yi immediately gave a thumbs up in his heart. This guy reacted so quickly!

This is clearly a problem with Han Yi, but Li Yifu pointed to Tang Lin, which is clearly a political struggle.

Although Han Yi made him angry, no one could move anyone at the moment. After fighting a few times, Li Yi's mansion did not want to work hard on Han Yi, wasting time and energy, and it made Li Zhi difficult to be a human being every time. Tang Lin must be an enemy, and there is no doubt that he was united in dealing with Tang Lin, mainly because Tang Lin was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, which was very annoying. Li Yi's mansion had been asking for trouble for Tang Lin and was preparing to drive him out of the Ministry of Personnel, because all the people above Tang Lin were driven away by them.

But then again, Li Yifu asked this question, but it was actually not wrong. The appointment of officials who had been given up in the fourth rank was the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. How could a farmer and craftsman become an official? He asked Tang Lin that it was reasonable to follow.

Tang Lin said: "I am doing things completely according to Your Majesty's edict, I don't know what's wrong."

Li Zhi was confused and wondered: "When did I issue such an edict?"

Tang Lin bowed and said, "Your Majesty at that time, the appointment of officials from the Sixth House of the Sages was entrusted to the Minister of State Han. The Ministry of Personnel could only assist from the side, and could also promote some extraordinary talents."

Li Zhi blinked and suddenly reacted.

It turned out that when the Sixth Academy of Sages was established, the scholars and common people were at a strife. In order to quickly quell the battle, Li Zhi issued a very urgent edict and passed it quickly, because the gentry was about to be unable to withstand it, and it was not good for the gentry to drag it down. Tang Lin was not Han Yi's side, but Changsun Wuji's side. Of course, he was afraid that Tang Lin would interfere, so he directly ordered Han Yi to be fully responsible.

In addition, only Han Yi understood the orthodox knowledge of the Sixth Academy, such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Law. Therefore, Han Yi was the president of the General Office, so of course the people below should be promoted exceptionally, mainly based on Han Yi's opinions. At that time, Han Yi did say that he wanted to promote strange and powerful scholars, because the upright scholars were all from the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Law, and could only recruit strange and powerful scholars. Li Zhi did not think much at the time and agreed.

But Li Zhi never expected that Han Yi was talking about the extraordinary, and it was these farmers and craftsmen. At this moment, he felt that he was cheated.

Because in everyone's understanding, the strange and powerful people are still a bit of a master's style. Like Yuanjiu and Cui Pingzhong, who are perverted and out of the officialdom, they can be called strange and powerful people. They belong to the scope of unorthodox geniuses. No matter how bad they are, they are Taoists and monks. What does it mean to make a group of old hats?

Li Yifu frowned slightly. He knew that even if Tang Lin did not interfere with it, he would just discuss the matter. The Ministry of Personnel would not issue such a ridiculous appointment. Even if the emperor issued this edict, you have to report to the emperor. After all, this is too outrageous. Han Yi has played this alone in the world. He directly became a businessman and became prime minister for three years. However, Han Yi also saved the emperor first and supported Empress Wu and then later. He was right. He could only say that he had a good life and had seized the opportunity. Now he got a bunch of "Han Yi". It would be fine if he continued like this.

He guessed nothing wrong. Now that the Guanlong Group is Han Yi carrying the banner, Tang Lin will of course obey Han Yi. Anyway, there is an emperor's edict as a shield.

Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that Mr. Han's move is clearly intended to cause trouble and provoke disputes among scholars and commoners, so as to make profits from it."

Li Zhi also felt that this was the case by Han Yi, yes. He said unhappily: "Han Yi, what's going on?"

Han Yi sighed and said aggrievedly: "Report to Your Majesty, I asked Your Majesty to establish this Sixth Academy of Sages. The original intention was very simple, and there was only one, which was to help the people more and let the people live a prosperous life. That's all, I have been working in this direction. If Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, I can resign from them now. Regarding compensation, I am willing to take personal responsibility."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "Don't mess with the public here. I just want to know the reason. Is this not possible?" Han Yi said before that he was thinking about the people, so how could he think this was inappropriate?

Oh, the emperor is much smarter than before! Han Yi became honest this time and said, "Report to Your Majesty, these ninth-rank academicians are farmers. It is true that craftsmen are experienced farmers and craftsmen. Our Sixth Academy of Sages is a very pragmatic official office. The Wei minister has also said that the task of Sixth Academy of Sages is to use the theory of Sixth Academy of Sages to help the people produce more food on limited land, including agriculture and engineering."

Speaking of this, he suddenly became excited and sprayed at the Grand Secretary Xu Jingzong and others: "Dear Grand Secretary, don't say you don't want to come, even if you are willing to come, I don't want it. It's not that I look down on you. The reason is very simple. Can you farm? Have you ever planted the fields? Have you ever touched the farm tools? The responsibility of our Sixth Academy of Sages is not always the same as the world. Confucius said, "We are not here to talk about war on paper. We are going to turn the soil into the fields, we are going to study seeds, wheat seedlings, and irrigation."

Then I don’t invite farmers or craftsmen, who will I invite? Our Sixth Court of Sages is a piece of tiles in the Tang Dynasty. Wherever the Tang Dynasty needs us, we will make up for it. We are doing the hardest and most tiring work, but what we get is to make trouble and make up for it."

He dared not criticize the emperor, except for the emperor, he dared to criticize him.

Xu Jingzong snorted: "Who said he was against you to hire a farmer, a craftsman? We just insulted the official name Shilin. Farmer, and the craftsman called him academicians. What did you mean by saying?"

"Don't put a trap on me, I have no intention. I just think they are worthy of the academician." Han Yi said loudly.

Fang Zhi and the others were all a little scared, and this was a little out of control.

Xu Jingzong himself cared about these things very much. At the beginning, the dispute between the scholars and the common people was caused by him and Han Yi. He said furiously: "If you say it is worthy, you deserve it. Who do you think you are? If you don't give it a reason, we will never give up today."

This old man completely lost himself when he met Han Yi.

Li Zhi felt a headache and wanted to seal the mouths of the two of them.

Han Yi also raised his finger and refuted excitedly: "You great scholars are studying Confucianism, Taoism, and how to write articles. The academicians of our Sixth Academy of Sages study farmland, mulberry fields, water conservancy, irrigation, farming, and farm tools. Everyone is engaged in research. Why can you call the great scholars? We can't call it, and we still call it the academician. It's really outrageous. I would like to ask you, you make friends with literature every day in Hongwenguan, savoring fragrant tea, Kong said Chengren, Meng said to seek righteousness, and they shouted to educate the world all day long, but the question is why Chen Shuozhen raised his arms and shouted that tens of thousands of people followed her to rebel and did unkind and unrighteous things. What role did your kindness and righteousness play?
