The Nanshan Academy on the aristocratic family was finally released, and it is estimated that it will be recruited soon, so Li Xiu was also summoned to the palace by Li Shimin to discuss the matter of opening a college in the court. However, Li Shimin actually said that he had encountered some trouble, which made Li Xiu a little strange. After all, for the court, opening a college is really not a big deal, especially now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, and there is sufficient manpower, material resources and financial resources. There should be no problem?

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of problem it is. Can't it be solved with the power of the court?" Li Xiu said with some concern at this time. In his plan, the court's academy would open with the academy of aristocratic families so that he could compete with the other party for talents. It is almost April now, and the Nanshan Academy should start recruiting students at the latest in May and June, so the court's actions must also be fast.

"Well, the preparations for the academy are actually very smooth. I have already chosen the address. It was originally a palace of mine, but I really didn't have time to go there, so it was a waste to put it there, so I simply changed it to a academy. Most of the other personnel have arrived and can start recruiting students at any time."

When he said this, Li Shimin suddenly smiled mysteriously and then kept it in a silence. "But there is still a problem that is not a big problem. Moreover, I have summoned this problem to the palace, and you can see him immediately!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, an eunuch rushed over to report: "Report to Your Majesty, Duke Song is asking for a meeting!"

"Xuan!" Li Shimin also spoke immediately, and after saying that, he looked at Li Xiu with a smile.

"Your Majesty, isn't the trouble you are talking about Xiao Yu?" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. After Xiao Yu returned to Tang, he was named Duke of Song. Although he was dismissed from prime minister several times during this period, his title was not deprived. It was not until the last anger of Li Shimin that he was taken away, but Li Shimin soon returned it to him.

"Yes, it's him!" Li Shimin said helplessly at this time, "Last time you recommended him to me as the chief of the academy, and I also thought it was very suitable, so I wanted him to take over the academy. However, this stubborn old man refused to accept the order, and he refused to accept the imperial edict sent by someone. I had no choice but to summon him into the palace and plan to convince him personally."

The relationship between the monarch and the ministers during the Tang Dynasty was far different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor was the heaven. If a minister dared to resist the order, it would be almost a crime of beheading. However, in the Tang Dynasty and even in the later Song Dynasty, the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was more like the boss and employees in later generations. The boss controlled the promotion of the employee, but when the employee was unhappy, he could also fire the boss. He had the spirit of not leaving the master here and he had the spirit of leaving the master here. Therefore, it was actually a two-way process for the emperor to let others serve him. He had no choice but to do so even if the other party disagreed.

"Your Majesty, have you found the wrong person? Last time I offended Xiao Yu, I'm afraid it would be counterproductive if you asked me to persuade him?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say helplessly. He didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking now. He should let Changsun Wuji do this by persuading Xiao Yu. He is good at eloquence and has no grudges with Xiao Yu, which is much more suitable than himself.
