"Oh, Wang Situ, I can't help but wait."

A minister shouted.

"Your Majesty has founded the Imperial Academy. From then on, everyone in the world can enter the country to study. Then, they can directly select officials from the Imperial Academy. Any disciple and old official, and any talented person will become a passing cloud. By then, the foundation for our aristocratic families will be gone."

"Yes, although the Imperial Academy was established in our Han Dynasty, only a few years ago, due to the affairs of Chen Ji, Feng Fang and others, the students of the Imperial Academy have left one after another. But now, if Your Majesty only rebuilds the original Imperial Academy, it would be fine. But this Imperial Academy is far from that Imperial Academy, so I must be wary of it."

"Yes, all students in the original Imperial Academy must be recommended by local officials in the state, county, and county. They are young, smart, studious and diligent sons in various places before they can enter the Imperial Academy to study and be called the Imperial Academy. Because of this, these Imperial Academy students are almost all children of our gentry, and rarely come from ordinary people's homes. They are the descendants of our gentry, who study and visit friends, and become officials."

"In the past, the number of admissions to the Imperial College was extremely precious. Compared with the number of filial and honest people, it was no less than that of the quotas of Maocai and filial piety and honest people. It was an important capital for our families to rely on each other. But now, Your Majesty has directly opened the Imperial College to everyone. Anyone who meets the age requirements can come to Luoyang and study in the Imperial College. Then, every year, select excellent people, and directly enter the court to become officials. This is equivalent to snatching the power of educating disciples, cultivating talents, and recommending officials from us. Wouldn't it be a destruction of my lifeline?"

"I see Your Majesty's intention. His ambition is not in the same Imperial Academy. If the Imperial Academy achieves something, Your Majesty will follow this and open the imperial official schools to various prefectures and counties. At that time, there will be no more place for us to stay in the world's scholars."

All the ministers were crying, as if they had died, and were heartbroken.

"Wang Situ, on this occasion of life and death of the gentry, we are sincerely asking Situ to be the master on behalf of the gentry in the world."

Many ministers knelt down in unison and kept asking Wang Yun.

Wang Yun's face was also gloomy. He looked at the people who were kowtowing and didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly murmured to himself: "You guys say, does Your Majesty really have so many books?"

The sudden question surprised everyone, but someone soon responded.

"Situ's question reminded us. It is essential to establish an Imperial Academy, books, and famous teachers of this scale. Now Xun, Lu, Zhong, Cui, Cai and others are all loyal to Your Majesty. It is not difficult for this famous teacher to come. But it is not easy to collect hundreds of thousands of books."

"Yes. There are many families in the court who are loyal to Your Majesty. However, even if they contribute all the books in their homes, and then remove the same books, they will probably find it difficult to get all these many books together."

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes and tapped the carpet under his seat: "If you rely on the purchase income of hundreds of thousands of books, you may not spend billions of money, and it is difficult to buy them without a year or two. But so far, you have never heard of His Majesty sending people to purchase various classics everywhere, but seeing His Majesty's image of faith does not seem to be joking, which is surprising..."

At this time, a servant in the mansion suddenly ran over: "Master, an Eunuch Gong has come and is asking for a meeting outside the mansion."

Wang Yun was shocked and hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry and please."

After the servant went out, a minister came over and asked, "Eunuch Gong is the eunuch who is in charge of writing by His Majesty. He suddenly came here, but I am afraid that there is an order to pass it on."

Wang Yun nodded slightly: "Well, I think this must be the case. However, we are the court officials gathered here in private and were seen by our father-in-law to repay His Majesty, for fear of arousing suspicion from the emperor. Please avoid it for a while."

The ministers had no objection and immediately retreated to the back hall.

Soon, Gong Saner walked in under the escort of several imperial guards. Wang Yun stood up in person, walked forward a few steps, and bowed.

"Eunuch Gong is here, I wonder what advice can I give?"

Gong Saner had an iconic smile on his face: "How dare I give Situ a word of advice? But Your Majesty has an order to order me to come and pass it to Situ."

When Wang Yun heard this, he immediately looked correct and knelt down and listened to the order: "The old minister respectfully invites the saint."

Gong Saner took the imperial edict from the Imperial Guard behind him, bypassed Wang Yun, and walked to the main hall.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, Emperor Zhao said: Cao Cao in Yuzhou rebels, spreads rumors, bewitches people's hearts, and causes scholars all over the world to be disinterested in the court. The students of the Imperial College retreated one after another. For the court's plan to recruit talents, the subjects from all over the world, and the ancestors' plans, I reopened the Imperial College, so that all people can have a place to study and the scholars have the opportunity to serve. However, the original Imperial College had less than 20,000 books, which was really embarrassing to the great task. Situ Wang Yun, Gong Quan, was loyal to the country, and was even more famous in the court. I hope that my dear friends would understand my intentions and offer more books to solve the urgent needs. I would be happy. I admire this."

"Old minister receives the order, thank you." Wang Yun raised his hands above his head, took the order, and then stood up.

"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, so why not drink a glass of water and wine before leaving."

Gong Saner pushed, "Thank you for your kindness. I have to rush back to the palace to do business, so I won't stay. Your Majesty said that this is extremely important in the court. I think only Situ can do it in the court. Please do not let Your Majesty down. "

"I would like to ask your father-in-law to report back to Your Majesty. The old minister will definitely do his best to repay Your Majesty."

"In this way, I will surrender."

Gong San'er turned around and left. After Wang Yun watched him walk away, he shouted: "Let's come out."

All the ministers hiding in the back hall ran out, but at this time, their faces were a little happy and even proud.

"As expected, if Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Imperial Academy, he still has to rely on us."

"I'll say, how did Your Majesty get the hundreds of thousands of books, it turns out that I want to ask me to wait for the book to be presented."

"Situ, in your opinion, should we offer this book, or not?"

Wang Yun raised his head three points, walked slowly back to his seat, stroked his beard, and looked calm.

"Well... Since Your Majesty has issued an order, how can we not obey it as a Han minister?"

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what Wang Situ was thinking.

"But once we follow the order to present the book, Your Majesty will be able to collect all the books needed for the Imperial Academy in a short time. In this way, wouldn't we shoot ourselves in the foot?"

"Yes, it's okay to suffer a loss, but I'll even swallow my teeth and swallow it. I'm really frustrated."

"Wang Situ, you have to get a charter."

Wang Yun glanced around them and said, "My Taiyuan Wang family is deeply loved by the son of today. Since Your Majesty has an order, the old minister has made up his mind. To run the Taixue, my Wang family has offered 20,000 books to do his best."

"This... Wang Situ, what do you mean?"

The ministers were all a little anxious.

"You have presented books, so if we... if we don't offer them, wouldn't it be more concise?"

Wang Yun looked at it for granted: "This is natural. Giving books to run schools is a great achievement. Why not give? But..."

When everyone heard the word "but" and immediately became energetic.

"But what?"

Wang Yun smiled and said, "The establishment of the Imperial College is the top priority of the country, and we must be careful. As ministers, we should share our worries for Your Majesty. The books in your palace have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I am afraid that we will give out any books that are not suitable for students to read. Wouldn't it ruin your Majesty's great affairs?"

The ministers also felt it was very reasonable: "Situ meant..."

Wang Yun said, "I thought it would be better for us to draw a bibliography together. All the officials and families would choose this bibliography in the documentary library in the mansion, and then offer it to the court. In this way, we can do our duty and do our jobs, and avoid your Majesty's re-selecting books, and even overwork. Wouldn't we have the best of both worlds?"

The ministers' eyes lit up: "It's amazing. Most of the books we offer will be the same at that time. Let's see how this Imperial Academy can do it."

"That's right, even if Your Majesty is dissatisfied, he will not do anything to you and me. Situ is indeed very thoughtful."
