Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 21 Learning Valves
Huangfusong put down the chess pieces and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, you know why the veteran didn't go to rescue Chencang, but chose to camp outside Chencang city. You know, Grand Master Dong was with me at that time, and he suggested to go to Chencang quickly. .”

Zhang Ming thought for a while and said, "Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying, put it to death and then live. I think that although Chencang City is small, its internal defenses are solid and complete, and it is not an easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is difficult to conquer, and because they know that there are enemies outside the city, their morale will be disturbed. As for the defenders of Chencang, they will be able to last longer because they hear that there are helpers outside the city. Therefore, this battle must be won, nothing more than What does it mean to win"

Huangfusong was just asking casually, and he didn't expect the little emperor to be able to explain the reason, after all, even Dong Zhuo didn't figure it out, let alone this little emperor who lived in the deep palace for a long time.

Afterwards, Huangfusong became more interested. He continued to ask, "Since your Majesty knows this, it means that your Majesty has read some art of war. Did your Majesty ever know why the old minister immediately sent troops to chase after the Liangzhou rebels withdrew?"

Zhang Ming thought for a while and said, "When I was reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, there was a saying in the book that the defeated enemy should not pursue, and the retreating troops should not be forced, but the army of the Liangzhou Rebel Kingdom did not lose the battle or retreat voluntarily." However, the army had to withdraw because it was too exhausted. Therefore, the army was essentially fleeing and had no fighting spirit. Moreover, the rebel soldiers themselves were not well trained. Once defeated, the organization would collapse, so immediate pursuit often can achieve a different effect”

In fact, Zhang Ming has never read Sun Tzu's Art of War. After all, some of the palace's art of war and strategy-related books have long been confiscated by Dong Zhuo's people. These contents are just Zhang Ming's experience summed up from reading history books.

It's just that Zhang Ming's answer made Huangfusong very excited. As a general, Huangfusong once took in some apprentices, and wanted to cultivate these apprentices' ability to fight on the battlefield.

It's a pity that fighting a war is more like a natural skill. No matter how many books on the art of war his disciples have read, once they go to the battlefield, they are often just talking on paper.

A smart person like His Majesty could immediately understand the significance of Huangfusong's actions on the battlefield, if not for his identity as the emperor, he really wanted to accept him as his disciple.

Zhang Ming looked at Huangfusong who hadn't conceived a child for a long time, and knew that Huangfusong agreed with what he explained. If he worked harder and took the initiative to worship Huangfusong as his teacher, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Zhang Ming said decisively again, "I am still young, and I only have a superficial understanding of these battles. If Aiqing doesn't mind my stupidity, can you be my teacher?"

Seeing His Majesty's devout eyes, Huangfusong was actually a little moved. After all, the teachers who served as emperors since ancient times were usually civil servants, and there were very few military officials like him who could be teachers.

But he still refused, because he really didn't know what he, a warrior, could teach His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, I'm just a warrior. If it's about fighting and fighting, I'm sure I'm good at it. But when it comes to teaching and educating people, I'm afraid I'm not as good as a doctor."

Zhang Ming sighed when he mentioned the doctor of the Han Dynasty.

The doctoral system of this era is not like the doctorate of later generations. The doctoral system of this era is a typical academic system. Ordinary people born in this era have almost no channels for advancement. When he becomes emperor in the future, this era must be changed. Ph.D. valve system.

What's more, even if we don't talk about the academic system shown by these doctors themselves, the doctors of the Five Classics in the early Western Han Dynasty corresponded to the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Li", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn". Confucian classics, even various annotations and handouts, have any changes in the lives of ordinary people.

Now there are more than 5 doctors. According to Zhang Ming's knowledge, there are about 14 people.It can be said that for thousands of scholars all over the world, it is extremely difficult to be a disciple of these doctors, and even becoming a disciple of the successor of the doctor of the Five Classics is already very rare.

As for why the doctorate system in the Han Dynasty is more like a school system, the more important reason is that every doctor has the right to interpret the five Confucian classics, and the family that can interpret these Confucian classics, the family origin The children of the family and students can directly promote Xiaolian to be officials without passing the examination system.

As for other children or students not from these families, they can only try to enter Taixue, learn these Confucian classics, and then pass the unified selection of the imperial court before they can become officials.

For example, the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, that is, the family where Yang Biao belongs to, is a typical family that holds the right to interpret Confucian classics and has become a veritable family, or a family of scholars.

After coming to this world, Zhang Ming realized how terrifying these families of academic tyrants are.

These aristocratic families have deprived ordinary people of their right to education and their right to be officials.

Of course, the real reason for this is that the emperor's rule needs the support of the family.

In fact, the system was not as unreliable during the Three Kingdoms period as it was during the Western Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The frequent wars during the Three Kingdoms period made the system of ruling the world by the family less indestructible, because the nature of the war will also give birth to a new group of forces, like the typical Liu Guanzhang who is not a member of the family, although Cao Cao himself is also related to the family For some reason, but he also has some generals who are not from aristocratic families, like Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others.

However, those who can rise from the war are often military generals, and the civil service system of the Han Dynasty is still supported by aristocratic families from all over the country. These civil servants monopolize cultural education and the right to interpret classics, creating new civil servants must come from these Aristocratic families, therefore, create a vicious circle.

Therefore, the aristocratic family monopolized part of the political power of the Eastern Han Dynasty through the school system, thus forming a force that could compete with the imperial power.

Even after the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, a new official selection system evolved, that is, the Jiupin Zhongzheng System. Under this system, the aristocratic family completely monopolized the right to be an official, and even the poor family's right to become an official was strictly controlled. limit.

Therefore, Zhang Ming was full of hostility to the doctoral system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, including the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that evolved in later generations.

Therefore, even though Zhang Ming, as the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, could directly find a doctor to be his teacher, but he was not like this. He would rather play freely in the Gaomen Palace, and do not need to be restrained by such a school system.

Because once any doctor becomes Zhang Ming's teacher, the family where the doctor belongs will further monopolize political power, especially in this troubled world.

Zhang Ming doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to. If he can stabilize the Han Dynasty in the future, then getting rid of this deep-rooted school system is the most important thing for him.
