Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 204 Remember to write it yourself next time

The Taixue mentioned at this moment is not a purely educational institution.

Taixue has been in existence for a long time, and it is not limited to the field of education.

And the queen mother wants to set up a tai school, her purpose is not to set up a new institution with many functions, not to cultivate talents, but to raise the people of the world.

There was no such a concept as a supporter in the violent Qin Dynasty. Only military merit was the final word, and the big man who inherited a series of policies of the violent Qin Dynasty did not have the institution of the supporter as in the past.In the feudal lords' country, these soldiers were highly used by the feudal lords and kings, and they returned to the feudal feudal kingdom, just like a minister who did not want to disclose his name, only felt that his monarch was the feudal lords, not the emperor.

His problem is not a special case. In various vassal states, there are not many soldiers like him, shouting the slogan of loyalty to the king, and preparing to support the princes and kings to rebel.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager wanted to gather all the people from all over the world to Chang'an, and Chang'an would recommend them to appoint and remove them to various places, even the feudal lords. In this way, the first ruler they should allegiance to is the emperor, and self-identification is the same as the emperor. The minister of the Han, not the minister of the princes.

Therefore, the queen mother wanted to abolish the matter of raising scholars in the feudal lords, and only allowed Chang'an to raise them, in order to achieve a real unification.

Liu Changming knew this, but he couldn't help but jump up when he knew that he was going to be shorn.

"Mother!!"

"My Tang country is poor, the people are not clothed, and they have no food to eat! There are not many talents who can help the local government, you still want to take it away? Why did the people of Tang country lose their love and mother?!"

Liu Chang said angrily.

Empress Lu was unmoved, and she said seriously: "You have enough officials. If you raise any more scholars, sooner or later, they will bring you a great disaster."

"My Tang people are honest, how can I cause such a big disaster? Mom, it's better to abolish the support of the rest of the feudal lords first. The Chu country's style of support is more prevalent than that of the Tang country. My father Zhong is known as the There are three thousand guests, and you have the reputation of the great Han Xinling, why don’t you first abolish the Chu State Academy?”

Empress Lu was about to speak, but Uncle Fu Qiu said, "Your Majesty is right... Empress Dowager, this matter still needs to be discussed seriously. The foundation of the country of Senai cannot be rushed."

Empress Lu nodded, and then did not continue to talk about this matter, but instead talked about the requirements for the soldiers.

"I have asked localities to recommend filial brothers Litian, reward them, and exempt them from corvée service. Naturally, it is necessary to raise these virtuous men first, so that localities can recommend virtuous men to go to Chang'an and enter Taixue.", At this moment, the prototype of the inspection system has appeared, but it is not as comprehensive as when Emperor Wu was.

These great sages discussed this matter with Empress Lu, and they said it in a friendly way, but when Shusuntong arrived, Shusuntong suddenly said: "Be loyal to the monarch and do moral things, and the master is unified. .The Taixue can call more Confucian scholars and send them to various places.”

His remarks, of course, aroused the approval of the Confucian bigwigs.

However, several of Huang Lao's scholars did not think so, and immediately shouted: "The words of Shusun Tong are just ridiculous!"

The two sides started a war quickly. You said a word to me, and the conflict suddenly became fierce. Empress Lu looked at this scene thoughtfully. If you call for taxis, maybe this scene will become the epitome of Taixue in the future?

Liu Chang yawned. He was not interested in these academic rivalries. While they were arguing, Liu Chang quietly bid farewell to the Queen Mother and escaped.

Just as he was about to leave, someone stopped him.

Liu Chang turned his head and saw that Uncle Fuqiu was leaning on crutches and also came out of the hall. Liu Chang still had a good impression of this old man, he smiled and walked to the old man's side, supported him, and then walked out, " Father Zhong! As a Confucian sage, why don't you stay in the hall to refute those Huang Lao people?"

Uncle Fu Qiu's age is more than enough to be Liu Chang's eldest father. Facing his name, he is not angry at all, just winked at Liu Chang and said, "Uncle Sun Tong is very cunning! He said something. , it caused everyone to argue, just to let the queen mother see the contradiction. What am I messing around with him?"

"Oh? You are not hostile to Elder Huang at all?"

"Father Zhong is the cheap one of that faction...ahem, what kind of great Confucianism?"

"Just like his clothes, his colors, but he doesn't speak all day long, he is a cheap scholar of the Zixia clan."

Bo Fu Qiu smiled and said this very naturally.

Liu Changchang was overjoyed and shouted, "Then you are the same as Luan Bu! You are much stronger than him, and he doesn't dare to say that about himself!"

Bo Fu Qiu said with a smile: "Although it is Zixia, it is different. They are mainly based on Gongyanggao's theory, and we are based on Gu Liangchi's theory."

"Oh, so that's the case! I've been taught!" Liu Chang made a sudden realization, as if he really understood.

"Your Majesty, you are in Tang country, convene a hundred scholars and allow them to argue with each other. This is a very good thing, but what the Queen Mother has considered is not wrong. I have been to many places, in the feudal lords, and only know their kings. I don't know there are many sons of heaven. The common people are fine, but if this is the case with scholars, there will be chaos sooner or later."

"Your Majesty Shenwu, now that the Majesty is here, naturally no one dares to make trouble, but what about a hundred years later?"

"Well, the widow will consider it carefully."

"Hahaha, the old man is not worried, the king is a virtuous and holy king, and he will definitely make the right decision!"

Liu Chang smirked and held Uncle Fuqiu's hand tightly, "Father Zhong, I didn't quite believe it when someone told me about your virtuous virtue, but now it seems that you are indeed a great virtuous person! I'm going to Tang Country?"

"The old man is still very willing to go to the Tang country. I heard that the sheep of the Tang country are delicious."

When the two walked out of the palace with a smile, the people were still waiting anxiously, they were afraid that the king would be rude to those great sages, and at this moment, seeing the old man and the young man walking out of the palace with a happy face, both Somewhat surprised, Luan Bu looked at the old man a few times, his expression changed greatly, and he hurried forward to pay homage to see him, and the rest of the family also met.

Liu Chang said happily: "Father Zhong must go to Tang country! I would like to worship him as the country's prime minister!"

After sending this person away, Liu Chang just said with emotion: "Among the great scholars that the widow has encountered, this person is the most virtuous!"

Shiren looked at each other in dismay, it was the first time I saw the king praise a person so much.

"Your Majesty, what did the Queen Mother call you for?"

"It is said that the Academy of Tang State is to be abolished, the princes are not allowed to raise scholars, and they are to be raised in Chang'an, and Tang State is not allowed to raise scholars. Our Tang State is already short of talents. Will there be no one to use in the future?"

"Go back to the mansion first, we must come up with a reasonable solution for this matter!"

Liu Chang said, and led the crowd back to the Tang Palace.

"Everyone, tell me, what should I do?"

Liu Chang looked at his Shiren, and everyone was pondering, but Zhaoping said, "Your Majesty. In fact, this matter is that the temple wants to turn the talents of the world into the talents of the Han. The Qin State uses military merit. Come to select officials, make military exploits, and obtain titles, and then you will get the corresponding official positions."

"But now, there are not so many enemies in the Qin state, and the Han can't expedition to the Xiongnu and South Vietnam. Therefore, we can only adopt the method of official officials. The people of Zhao have been officials in the state of Zhao for generations, but I don't know that there are Han, and the people of Qi have served as kings in the state of Qi for generations. , without knowing loyalty."

"This is the situation that the queen mother wants to change, and it should be changed. Although it is not good for the feudal lords, it is good for the big man. The king can take the lead in doing this."

The school at the moment is not to educate talents, but to concentrate talents, just as a reserve for officials, just like Jixia School, which is a typical example.The Empress Dowager wanted to forbid the local government to raise these official reservists, and bring them all back to Chang'an, so that they could become the official reservists of the Han Dynasty.

"No! This move will make Tang Country lose its talents, and Tang Country will expand its territory in the future, don't they need scholars?"

Zhang Budo was the first to refute Zhaoping, and he said angrily, "Zhaoping, why are you taking the king's salary, why are you doing something against my Tang Dynasty?!"

Zhaoping didn't quarrel with Zhang Budo this time, he just looked at Liu Chang calmly and pointed at Zhang Budo, "Your Majesty, do you see it? That's what the Empress Dowager is worried about."

Liu Chang glanced at Zhang Budo, then looked at Luan Bu.

"Your Majesty, I think it can be abolished. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty can't appoint or remove officials without permission. They all need the temple's permission. If there is a lack of talents, they will go to the temple and let them appoint and remove them."

Liu Chang looked at Jia Yi again.

At this moment, Jia Yi seemed a little hesitant, and he hesitated.

"No problem, just say whatever comes to your mind, don't worry."

Jia Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the problem actually lies in the selection of officials. If we can find a better selection method, the temple can get talents from all over the world, and our school in Tang Kingdom can be turned into an enlightenment teaching. Wouldn't the place be better?"

When Jia Yi finished speaking, the few people around him looked at him in surprise.

Liu Chang hurriedly shouted: "You can be more detailed!"

Only then did Jia Yi say: "It is not as good as nurturing a scholar, I think it is possible to set up a school in the county, not for the purpose of nurturing, but for nurturing. In the assessment, those who are excellent will go to Chang'an Taixue, Taixue to support scholars, and Chinese learning and education are combined in this way, then there will be talents available in the county and country, and the temples will also be able to use the world's talents for their own use, killing two birds with one stone."

"Of course, the current selection system for officials has to be changed, and assessments are conducted in the Imperial Academy. Like Qin, most officials in Qin must pass the corresponding legal assessment before they can serve as officials. Of course, we can also set up corresponding officials. In the assessment, the Taixue scholars who pass the assessment will become officials, and the local officials will no longer be allowed to run rampant."

"People from all over the world can adopt the avoidance system when they arrive in Chang'an. If they are people from Nanyang County, they cannot serve in Nanyang, and they are not allowed to serve as officials in their hometown, so that the current situation can be well contained. There will be more and more talents, and people from poor families will also be able to work."

Jia Yi spoke his thoughts seriously, and the more Liu Chang listened, the more surprised he became.

"Luan Bu! Get a pen! Come on, write down everything you just said!"

Liu Chang hurriedly said, Jia Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he began to write seriously.

Liu Chang smiled and said to Shi Ren, "Today Fang knows the talent of friendship!" But Shi Ren was not as optimistic as Liu Chang, Luan Bu hesitantly said: "Yi's idea is very good, but if you want to implement it, I'm afraid it won't be easy. First of all, it's a big problem to choose who to teach the scholars."

"You can nurture talents, but what should you teach them? Is it to study the law, or to govern the classics of Confucianism? Or to count?"

"What should the assessment test? Do disciples of different schools use different assessment methods?"

Hearing these words, Jia Yi immediately began to hesitate, frowning, and probably didn't think of any solution.

Liu Chang didn't care, he waved his small hand and said: "These things, let the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have a headache! We are only a small vassal state, and we are not a temple and a group of sages. What do we want to do? We should let them come too. Do something!"

After Jia Yi finished writing, Liu Chang took it and hurriedly walked towards the palace.

When Liu Chang returned to the palace, they were still arguing.

Liu Chang ignored them, walked quickly to the Queen Mother, put the book in front of her, raised his head, and said proudly: "This is what the widow thought of! Please take a look at the mother!!"

Liu Chang's words immediately interrupted everyone's quarrel.

Everyone looked at Liu Chang and the Queen Mother one after another.

Empress Lv took the book and read it seriously. Jia Yi didn't write much, Empress Lv quickly finished it. She looked at Liu Chang in surprise, and Liu Chang asked with a smile, "How is it? Auntie, How is this method of the widow?"

"Jia Yi's method is really good."

"Huh?? How does Grandma know?"

"Next time, you can try to write it yourself."

"Oh"

Empress Lu looked at everyone, "Everyone, look at this."

Liu Chang tiptoed into the circle, looked left and right, stretched out his hand suddenly, hugged a lamb, and walked out cautiously accompanied by the crowd.

As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Lu Shizhi standing in front of him, staring at them with a stern face.

"Hahaha, uncle!"

Liu Chang stepped forward with a smile, "Long time no see! Uncle is all right?!"

Lu Shizhi sighed, "Put down the sheep first and follow me to the inner room."

"Oh."

Liu Chang put down the sheep, gestured to Lu Lu, and immediately followed behind Lu Shizhi. The two walked into the inner room together and sat facing each other.

"Chang ah. I heard that Chang'an is about to set up a Taixue and call the world's talents. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, not just to set up Taixue, but also to set up Sinology at the local level, this is all my plan!"

Liu Chang said proudly.

Lu Shizhi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm old, I don't know how much time I have left. I'm really worried about the few stubborns in my family. If I can let them learn to govern the country with Daxian. It makes sense, if I can make some progress, I have no regrets."

"Hahaha, uncle, don't worry, the people we communicate with are all the most wise people in Chang'an. We often gather together, debate classics, exchange knowledge, and gain a lot."

"Chang. You said, can you send Ze, Lu, and Zhong to Taixue?"

"Uncle! I'm just a small vassal king, the youngest among the princes, and Tang is the poorest among the princes. How can I be the master? You might as well go to the queen mother, maybe you can do it."

"Long, they play with you until the end. If you don't help them, who will?"

"My uncle said so, so what else can I do? I'll go and tell my mother. I don't know if it will work or not."

"Okay, okay, long, don't leave in a hurry, you may not have come for a long time."

The queen mother has the character of doing what she says. She doesn't care whether the policy is mature or feasible. Anyway, she proposed the policy. The perfect thing has nothing to do with her. , I have already put forward the idea, if it is not done well, it is up to you.

Then, relatives in Chang'an came to Liu Chang to do business.

The idea is all the same, they all want to send the child to the Taixue, Lu Shizhi is not the first, Xia Houying, Guan Ying and others have also looked for him.

For their request, Liu Chang did not refuse, but only said that he would tell the queen mother. As for whether it was successful or not, it was also none of Liu Chang's business.

The influence of non-professional officials is still too great. In the past, children of powerful and powerful people like Lu Shizhi could become officials directly, no matter what their talents were. Just like Zhou Shengzhi, he was still stealing chickens and dogs not long ago, and his father said a word. Just joining the Southern Army directly is a matter of one sentence, but now, the Queen Mother has proposed to focus on ether studies and use the method of assessment to serve as officials.

This has little effect on the dignitaries whose children have become officials, but for those whose children have not yet been officials, it is a big problem.

If Zhou Bo wanted to arrange Zhou Yafu directly into the Southern Army now, he might still be able to do it. After all, his power was too great, but it would be a little difficult for those meritorious deeds who gradually moved away from the core of the temple.

When Liu Chang walked out of Jiancheng Hou's mansion, all the sages were waiting for him.

Liu Chang sighed helplessly.

"Why do you sigh, Your Majesty??"

Lu Lu asked hurriedly.

"It's not because of you! As long as you have some talents, your father won't be in such a hurry!"

Liu Changchang scolded, and at this moment, Fan Mi suddenly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, my father asked you to go to the mansion." Liu Chang looked at him and the city people, shook his head helplessly, and came again Got one.

As expected, Fan Kuai wanted his two sons to enter Taixue.

But Fan Kuai didn't say it clearly, but his aunt smiled and talked about it.

With a bitter face, Liu Chang said helplessly: "Actually, you don't have to be in a hurry. My mother will certainly not be too harsh on the founding ministers. Besides, they are all my brothers, and I will not let them lose their future. There is no need for this at all. ."

"Hey, I'm relieved with this long sentence!"

Lu Ru said with a smile, and diligently brought it to Liu Chang to eat.

For some reason, Liu Chang's recent meals have not been very fragrant, as if there was something in it that made him uncomfortable, he was no longer as appetizing as before, just after a few bites, Liu Chang got up and said goodbye to them. .

"You stop!"

Liu Chang was about to leave when he suddenly heard a scolding.

He turned around, Fan Qing stood not far away, gritted his teeth and glared angrily.

"I can't help you when you're angry. Taixue probably doesn't want women."

"Why are you doing this to me?!"

Liu Chang was confused, and continued to pretend to be stupid, "This is not what I stipulated, and it is not necessarily a good thing to enter Taixue."

Just when Liu Chang was about to continue to fool, Fan Qing suddenly burst into tears, tears kept falling, and cried loudly.

Suddenly, Liu Chang was speechless.
