Iron Dynasty

Fifty boards!

Fiji and Pang Yukun exclaimed at the same time.

Pang Yukun rubbed his still aching nose and said, Your Majesty, Song Guogong is getting old, wouldn't it cost him his life if he went down for fifty.

Song Guogong immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, his body could not stop shaking slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.

Your Majesty, I just drank wine, and I was confused at the time. Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life. Song Guogong kowtowed like pounding garlic. Even a young and strong one would not be able to get out of bed for three months.

If he is on him, there is no difference between killing him.

Xiao Ming's eyes were cold, if he had been kind five years ago, but now he gradually understands a truth, the kindness of a king's wife is inhumane to the world.

And his unkindness is sometimes the great benevolence to the world. For example, in this case, if he spared Song Guogong, the royal clan would become more and more unscrupulous. Punishing Song Guogong would not only benefit the court, but also the people. These privileged classes are in the The rampant and domineering Qingzhou City is a serious constraint to the development.

Therefore, he didn't even look at the Duke of Song, and said to the officials and the people around him: Since I ascended the throne, I have issued edicts to govern the country according to the law, from the people of Li to the emperor, and those who break the law are treated equally. Staff, the sin is unforgivable, come here, drag it to the East City to take responsibility!

The imperial guard received the order, and immediately took Song Guogong to the East Market, and along the way, the voice of Song Guogong begging for mercy continued.

Fiji and Pang Yukun looked at each other. At this moment, Xiao Ming's image in their hearts became more and more different. In their opinion, compared with the previous emperor, this new emperor had a more courageous and murderous spirit.

After disposing of Song Guogong, Xiao Ming said to Fiji and Pang Yukun: You are still cabinet ministers, have you forgotten what I said? In the future, if there are royal family members who use the royal family to make trouble, they will all follow the law.

Yes, Your Majesty. Fiji and Pang Yukun bowed and said, they used to dare not speak out, but now Xiao Ming gave them a sword of Shangfang.

After a pause, Xiao Ming said to the two: I trust you by entrusting the two of you to take care of the country's government affairs, and you only need to be responsible to me. If anyone else dares to obstruct you, it will be handled in accordance with the law. Yes.

The emperor has the whole world in his heart, and he is treated equally by the common people. The emperor, the wise master of Da Yu, will surely be able to prosper in the future. Fiji was moved and praised loudly.

Xiao Ming smiled, and he said, It's better to flatter your ass. The two of you should spare no effort to implement the decree in the court this time. During this time, I am afraid that I will personally go to each student to teach.

The emperor wants to go in person again? Pang Yukun hesitated for a while. Xiao Ming used to be the vassal king, but now Xiao Ming is the emperor. There has never been an emperor who taught the profession in person.

However, Xiao Ming used to go to Bowen College from time to time, so he was not too surprised.

Compared with Pang Yukun, Fiji can't keep calm. He advised: The emperor's government affairs are already busy, and these tedious things are added. I am afraid that the emperor will be tired, and I hope that the emperor will put the dragon's body first.

Xiao Ming had already made up his mind. He would not compromise with the two on this matter. Now that the North has finally entered a period of peaceful development, this is the time for him to make full use of the technology spar.

Although it is believed that firearms are now on par with the West, or even slightly better, the overall social level of the Great Yu country is still far behind the West.

So he is going to fight in person this time. Through study and practice in the past five years, he has cultivated a group of talents with a solid foundation.

Now this group of people needs his guidance to go further.

The two elders don't need to worry, I have my own concerns in my heart. These things are just lip service, and I can't get tired of me. However, the implementation of this reform requires the two of you to visit the people in a timely manner.

Your Majesty works tirelessly, what kind of hardship is your minister? Pang Yukun said sincerely.

Xiao Ming nodded, it is true that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and there are treacherous ministers under the faint-hearted ruler. Xiao Ming's words are better than his own practice.

Officials see it in their eyes, and naturally take it to their hearts.

After talking with the two again, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu walked to Bowen College. Last time, the Ministry of Culture and Education had been officially established, and the chief official of the Ministry of Culture and Education had also been elected.

This person's name is Chao Zhengwen, a native of Qingzhou, thirty-six years old, and used to be a private school teacher.

After the establishment of Bowen College five years ago, he entered the college to study, and he has been unknown, because what he studied was not government affairs, nor technology, but culture and education.

Later, when the Qingzhou Daily was founded, Chao Zhengwen sent his own manuscripts to the newspaper from time to time, which gradually attracted Xiao Ming's attention.

Because what he submitted was nothing else, it was the current imperial examination problem in the Great Yu Kingdom.

After reading the books written by Xiao Ming and his understanding of the current world situation, he asserted that the imperial examination needed reform, and proposed many specific reform measures.

At this time, Xiao Ming also had the idea of ​​establishing the Ministry of Culture and Education, so he selected Chao Zhengwen as soon as possible and appointed him as the Educational Administration of the Ministry of Culture and Education.

When the two arrived at Bowen College, Chao Zhengwen, who had already been notified, was already waiting in front of the students.

At this time, the plaque of Bowen College is being taken down, a plaque of Qingzhou University.

For the text of the academic affairs of the Ministry of Culture and Education, please refer to the emperor.

No gift! Xiao Ming said to Chao Zhengwen, and he continued; Do you know why I changed the name of Bowen College to Qingzhou University.

Chao Zhengwen said: The word university comes from Zeng Zi's book The Great Learning, in which Zengzi proposed the way of the university, which is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to stop at the ultimate good, and he also puts forward the idea of ​​valuing things, promoting knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, and self-cultivation. If the minister guessed correctly, the emperor changed the college to a university in order to let the students of the university remember that what they have learned is for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the people.”

Xiao Ming nodded, You're right, this is exactly what I mean, the imperial examination is only for one day to be able to enter the courtroom, a very high-ranking official, and the layout is too small, and this Qingzhou University will be a place where a hundred flowers bloom, and the imperial examination examination It also has to adapt to the times.”

Chao Zhengwen said: Because of this, the minister proposed a method of cultural and educational reform, abolishing the bad habit of only examining the four books and five classics in the imperial examinations, and instead listed these four books and five classics as one subject, similar to physics, chemistry, mathematics, water conservancy, astronomy, etc. , to completely get rid of the ills that the officials of the Great Yu Kingdom only know the Four Books and Five Classics.

Xiao Ming smiled. Chao Zhengwen was talking about the shortcomings of selecting officials for thousands of years. In Da Yu, a county magistrate often has limited skills, but he has the responsibility of a modern mayor, police chief, prosecutor, and finance chief. Responsibilities of the Construction Superintendent.

This cultural and educational reform will completely eliminate this method of selecting officials.
