Establishing an official school is not an easy task. Before Shen Ji proposed it, some people suggested that officials be arranged to take over the academies in various places, because private academies have trained and recruited too many talents, and it is easy to form local influence.

However, this proposal was opposed by many people. The reason was that the academy was a private school. If everyone opened an academy, the imperial court would send someone to take it over. Then no one would open an academy.More importantly, the national treasury is not rich, and the imperial court does not want to spend so much money to support a group of officials who manage the academy.

So at the moment, there is still only Guozijian in the official school.

Boss Zhao asked Shen Ji: "Then do you think people should take over the academy, or should the government also run the academy?"

Shen Ji said: "Why do you want to take over the academy? The academy was run by someone else. It has been operated for many years and the imperial court went to pick peaches. Can others not resent the imperial court? So my idea is, why don't we open state schools and county schools in each state and county? study?

"Of course, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is so vast, with tens of thousands of prefectures and counties. It is impossible to realize prefecture studies and county studies everywhere in a short period of time. Therefore, we can first try it out in prefectures and counties with a large number of people, and take a few states as the model state."

Boss Zhao asked in surprise, "You came up with this yourself?"

Shen Ji said proudly: "My wife came up with this, she is very smart."

Boss Zhao heard that Shen Ji's wife, Li Yunyao, was invited by Princess Yan to teach Gao Wanling. Because she taught so well, many families in Bianliang wanted to ask her to be their daughter's teacher.He didn't expect that she would have such a long-term vision.

This young couple is really a wonderful couple.

Boss Zhao asked: "If you really set up a government school, how will you solve the problem of teaching?"

Shen Ji wondered: "Every time there are dozens of candidates who pass the imperial examinations, but they can only be elected and wait for the vacancies to be filled. This is a waste of talents, and secondly, it is a waste of time." It wasted their time. So why not arrange them to teach in state schools first? In this way, they can be employed immediately after passing the degree in various subjects, and government schools in various places have professors again, killing two birds with one stone!"

Boss Zhao looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "You kid has not yet entered the official position, so you put your hands on the appointment of officials first?!"

Shen Yilu was very nervous, but Shen Ji didn't take it seriously: "Who stipulates that you can only share the worries of the officials after you become an official? As a citizen of the official family, isn't it natural to share the worries of the officials? I didn't interfere in the affairs of the government. I just made a small suggestion, whether to adopt it depends entirely on the officials and the ministers!"

Boss Zhao was noncommittal, snorted and told her to go back with Shen Yilu.

For Boss Zhao's repeated indulgence of Shen Ji, Shen Yilu has become numb, and this time he will no longer give her orders.

After the father and daughter returned, Boss Zhao thought of the intelligent Li Yunyao, and suddenly thought of the other female family members of the Shen family——Yan Shu.He remembered that Shen Yilu had become the prime minister, and Yan Shu's imperial order seemed to have not been raised yet!He forgot that there are excusable circumstances, but why didn't Shen Yilu bring it up?

As an emperor who knows how to make good use of others and is considerate, let him take the initiative to give the wives of the two confidant ministers an imperial order!

So not long after, Boss Zhao ordered the wives of Xue Zhengan and Shen Yilu to be promoted to county wives, and Yan Shu was bestowed the title of "Jinning County Lady".

"Madam of the county" is the second only to "Madam of the country", the imperial titles of foreign wives. Only these two titles of foreign wives are eligible to be honored as "madam".Therefore, from this day on, others will no longer call Yan Shu "junjun", but "madam".

Boss Zhao's kindness to Xue Zheng'an and Shen Yilu made Lu Duoxun a little jealous, but he also knew that the relationship between Boss Zhao and Zhao Guangyi had become a little delicate. He desperately wanted to win the favor of Boss Zhao without offending Zhao Guangyi.

For this reason, he can't speak ill of Xue Zhengan and Shen Yilu, and can only show his presence in front of Boss Zhao.

Boss Zhao was thinking about the feasibility of organizing state and county schools advocated by Shen Ji. Seeing him hanging around in front of him all day, he called him over, brought out what Shen Ji said, and asked Lu Duoxun for his opinion.

Lu Duoxun pondered for a long time before seriously saying: "The establishment of state schools will help attract talents and improve the prestige of the court and the government. Seconds! But how to implement it requires a long-term plan."

Boss Zhao said happily: "You also think this method is good?!"

Lu Duosun said: "The official is a wise man!"

Zhao Laodao: "This is not an idea I came up with."

"I don't know which capable minister thought of it?"

"It's not important, now I'll leave it to you, can you do it?"

Lu Duosun knew that this was a good opportunity, if he succeeded, he would be among the prime ministers!

He said sternly: "I am determined to fulfill my mission!"

Now that Lu Duoxun has accepted this task, he will not be able to be elected by the Zhigong in the coming year. Boss Zhao has to think about other candidates.He casually asked Lu Duoxun: "In your opinion, who is more appropriate to give the right to know the tribute in the coming year?"

Lu Duoxun said cautiously: "Now in the Academy of Scholars and Academy under the Zhongshumen, the only ones who can take on this important task are Li Fang from the Scholars of Zhongshu, Zhizhi Gao Humeng, Hanlin Scholars Hou Zhi, Hou Tao, and Chen E. ..."

Boss Zhao felt something was wrong: "Huh? Why did you miss Li Mu?"

Lu Duosun paused, and said: "Shen Jizong will take the provincial examination next year, and I'm worried that his right to know the tribute exam will attract criticism."

"Oh." Boss Zhao sighed, and said again, "I believe Li Qing is not a person who would cheat for personal gain."

Luderson: "..."

Trust is one thing. In fact, you just want Li Mu to let Shen Jizong down, right? !

Boss Zhao hadn't decided who Quanzhi Gongju would be, so he dismissed Lu Duoxun, brought his son Dezhao back, and asked him the same question.

Zhao Dezhao's list was similar to that of Lu Duoxun, but he also recommended Jiangnan surrenders Zhang Ji and Xu Xuan.

Zhao Laodao: "Let them know the tribute, I'm afraid some people will not accept it."

If such an important task as Quanzhi Gongju is entrusted to Zhang Ji and Xu Xuan, it is tantamount to telling everyone that the court will reuse them both.Can those Chinese Scholars and Hanlin scholars from the Schering Academy and the Academy let them go?

Zhao Dezhao said: "Since the Great Song has pacified Jiangnan, there is no distinction between the ministers of the Great Song and those who surrendered to the Jiangnan, and we should not treat the ministers of the Jiangnan differently. The Great Song should have the demeanor of a great country and be tolerant of others."

Boss Zhao nodded: "That's right, let them know about the tribute exams!"

Although they failed to become the examiners of the provincial examination, Zhao Dezhao was very satisfied with the result of becoming the examiners of various subjects. After all, his suggestion was adopted, which showed that his status in his father's heart had improved again.

The news that Zhao Dezhao recommended Zhang Ji and Xu Xuanquan to know the gongju spread like wildfire. Many courtiers couldn't wait to come out to express their opposition when they were in court. Scholars, who knows if they will be partial?

Boss Zhao didn't say anything, but just asked them who they would recommend as Quan Zhi Gong Ju.

Some recommended Shi Xizai, some recommended Hou Zhi, some recommended Hu Meng, and some suggested Li Fang who was punished for favoritism and fraud last time.

Boss Zhao knew it well.This Shi Xizai was Zhao Guangyi's Kaifeng official when he was Kaifeng Yin, and he belonged to Zhao Guangyi's party.But Hou Zhi had a good relationship with Lu Duoxun, and they had close contacts. A few years ago, he and Wang You were adjudicating the tribute examination together, but the examination room was not locked.After he was denounced, he was appointed to know Yangzhou.

As for Hu Meng and Li Fang, they both had a feud with Lu Duoxun, and they had never had much contact with Zhao Guangyi, so they can be considered.

In mid-to-late October, Boss Zhao still hadn't decided on a candidate for Quanzhi Gongju, so Zhao Guangyi couldn't sit still and looked for an opportunity to enter the palace.

Boss Zhao was very happy that his younger brother was able to enter the palace, and Dang even arranged for delicious food and wine to enjoy with Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi didn't mention the matter of Quanzhi Gongju, but took the state school as the starting point, and said, "I heard that Lu Shenzheng is preparing for the state school?"

"Ah yes, I told him to do it."

"Why did brother suddenly think of running a state school?"

Boss Zhao said cheerfully: "This is Shen Jizong's suggestion to me. I think it is very good. It depends on military generals to conquer the world, but to rule the world, military generals are not as good as civil servants, so we need to cultivate more literary talents."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked Wang Ji'en to bring to Zhao Guangyi the "Bingzijie Examination Name List Collection" copied by Shen Ji, and asked: "Are those scholars in Kaifeng still making trouble?"

Zhao Guangyi knew Boss Zhao's attitude towards Shen Ji a long time ago. He didn't blame Shen Ji at all. Instead, he promised that every time he solved the test in the future, he would ask all places to transcribe the top article of the test and send it to the history museum for collection.So Zhao Guangyi couldn't pick Shen Ji's fault, he just said: "It's not a big deal."

Boss Zhao said happily: "Let them make trouble, and when the matter of the state school is settled, they will naturally stop making trouble."

The reason why he attaches so much importance to Shen Ji's opinion is not that he has a partiality for Shen Ji, but that he sees farther than Shen Ji.

The benefits of setting up state schools are more than what Shen Ji said.Because once this edict is issued, the state school will become a real official school. Although its status is not as good as that of the Guozijian, it can enjoy the same treatment.At the same time, the state school will not set a threshold for the sons of high-ranking officials to enter the school, and children from poor families will have the opportunity to enter the state school, which will inevitably be favored by the children of poor families.

So after this edict is issued, the state school will inevitably arouse heated discussions among scholars, and their minds will also be on how to get into the state school, so there is no time to make troubles over a collection of essays.

Zhao Guangyi is very smart. He understood Boss Zhao's situation from just a few words from Boss Zhao. His eyes dimmed. It would be great if this idea came from his people, so that he could win another wave of people's hearts. .

Hearing the sound of the drum, Boss Zhao put down the wine cup and said to Zhao Guangyi: "It's getting late, the gate of the palace is about to be locked, you should go back and rest earlier!"

If Zhao Guangyi entered the palace another day, Boss Zhao might let him stay in the palace, but tomorrow is the day to visit Yujin Garden, Boss Zhao had to rest earlier, so he didn't let him stay.

After Zhao Guangyi left the palace, Boss Zhao also went to bed early.

At night, Boss Zhao saw someone entering his palace while he was half asleep and half awake. He thought it was Wang Jien, so he asked him, "What time is it?"

The other party replied: "It's three o'clock."

"Is there something important to report?"

The other party replied: "I'm here to take you away."

Boss Zhao was shocked. He realized that the person next to the bed was not Wang Jien at all, but a stranger, who was holding a hook and staring at him intently.

At this moment, Boss Zhao felt chills all over his body. It was a feeling that his vitality was passing away. He was as burly as he was, but he couldn't overcome this fear.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the pages of the book beside the bed turned with the wind.The sound of turning the pages was like some kind of magic spell that broke the barrier. He regained his strength and got rid of this feeling of fear and dying. The temperature of his body gradually recovered, and he was no longer afraid of the stranger in front of him.

Boss Zhao pulled out the sword on the bedside, and shouted imposingly: "I'm not going anywhere!"

The opponent paused, seemed a little confused, and a little afraid of him, so he turned around and ran away.

Boss Zhao wanted to catch up with his sword, but suddenly heard Wang Jien's voice: "Official, official!"

Boss Zhao woke up suddenly and asked Wang Jien, "Where was that person just now?"

Wang Jien was a little confused: "Officials, who are they?"

Boss Zhao frowned. He wanted to describe the other party, but found that he couldn't remember the other party's appearance.

He asked again if anyone had come in. Wang Jien's answer was unexpected, saying that after he rested, he would not let anyone in to disturb him. Neither will go", Wang Jien will not come over in a hurry.

"Has a thief sneaked into the palace?" Wang Ji'en asked.

Boss Zhao didn't answer, but just asked people to search the palace, but there was nothing abnormal in the palace.

Suddenly, Boss Zhao caught a glimpse of the book with its pages turned, and he was shocked and understood.

He picked up the book and found that it was the "Nine Years of Kaibao Bingzijie Examination Name List Collection" that he had casually placed on the bedside.

The page that was opened happened to be the preface written by Shen Ji for this anthology.

The author says:

On the night of October 50th in the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin called his younger brother Zhao Guangyi to drink and stay in the palace together. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kuangyin was found dead in the Long Live Hall at the age of [-].
