Don't be a prince

The previous series of "not a problem" made the two old gentlemen breathe a sigh of relief, but the last one made them frown.

That's right, if the college wants to be established, the people who need to be most vigilant are the aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families can continue to the present, and there are many wise men in their families.With the establishment of the college, poor scholars have a place to study, and the court has a new choice, which will inevitably threaten their status.And those who threaten their transcendent status will definitely bear their severe blows.

Yu Shinan sighed, and Li Gang followed Yu Shinan's example just now, jokingly cupped his hands at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, do you plan to make an appointment?" Mobile terminal ../

After getting along for so long, Li Gang knew very well that Li Chengqian was the master who would not let the rabbit see the eagle. Since he mentioned this problem, there must be a solution.

Li Chengqian smiled, returned a salute, and then said under the curious gazes of the two old gentlemen: "Why don't we let the Chongwen Hall go in together, and then face the court to recruit students again, how about it?"

The two understood Li Chengqian's meaning after a little thought, and Yu Shinan said with a smile, "You mean to borrow the power of those new nobles in the court?"

Li Gang also nodded.

In this way, maybe they really won't be afraid of the attack of the famous family, or in other words, the famous family should not dare to attack the academy.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is the key system of the Tang Dynasty, and on the basis of it, there is also the aristocratic system.With a title, or without a title, it can be said that one is in the blue sky and the other is in the ground.And since the founding of the country, those who have been granted titles, especially those with a stable status, have the basic conditions to form a big family even if the family has a small population.Because of this, they can be regarded as the prototype of a small family and a big family.

The five surnames and Qiwang do not have titles, and what maintains their transcendent status is knowledge, land, and the so-called pure blood.They don't have a formal title, and they can only rely on marrying their daughters to win over some sons-in-law with titles to support them.Fang Xuanling is just one of them.

As scholars, although the five surnames and Qiwang have a detached status and are rich, they don't have the guts to offend all the emerging nobles.It doesn't take much, as long as these people studying in Chongwen Hall are the first batch of students of the college, the college will have an absolutely stable backing.The quality of this backer can even surpass the emperor in a sense.

After all, the five surnames had the guts to fight against the emperor, but they didn't have the guts to offend a large number of nobles.

Li Gang, who had figured this out clearly, praised Li Chengqian with a smile: "It's not bad, I thought of the most important point. Being able to think of this shows that you have a good understanding of the world. If you are not reluctant to part with the food in the East Palace, now It's okay to let you become a teacher."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? This disciple is so far away. I still expect you to give me some pointers."

Reaching out to pat Li Chengqian's shoulder, Li Gang laughed out loud.

- Legislative Hall

After the locust plague, disaster reports from all over the world are still the top priority.For the first time since its establishment, the Hongling Emergency Envoy was driven like a donkey across the land of Guanzhong.

Now the busiest are the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War. Longyou has been ripening for two consecutive years, but the food in this area alone is hard to be reassuring. It is still necessary to mobilize some food from Shannan Road, Hedong Road and Henan Road.In addition to food adjustments, there are also reports about the wandering of the people in Zhongzhong.In any case, the imperial court had to have an understanding of the floating population of each state capital.

As for the Ministry of War, it is a headache for East Turkic and Liang Guo.

A play cannot be performed for too long, so now it can almost be confirmed that Jieli and Tuli did fight, and the fight was very fierce.

But the snipe and the clam are fighting each other, and the Tang monarch, the fisherman on the boat, has become interested in the small fry near the two.

Master Liang!

Chapter 164 The Old Immortal and the Little Thief

"Liang Xuanmo, styled Shidu, was born in Anding Wushi. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the minister of punishment, Liang Picongzi, was born in Haoyou, Longxi, and worshiped Ying Yanglang. In the 13th year of his great career, he killed Tang Shizong, the county prime minister, and claimed to be the great prime minister. The allied Turks rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, separated Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor, and established the Liang Kingdom with the reign name Yonglong.

He colluded with Turkic outsiders to segregate our Central Plains, flattered Shibi Khan, and was granted the title of Dadu Vija Khan, constantly encouraging Turks to invade the Central Plains south.After my Tang Dynasty unified the whole country, its power was weak and its internal conflicts intensified.

Last year, our imperial court sent an envoy to give an edict, saying that he had made great contributions to the anti-Sui Dynasty and was unwilling to conquer, so he swore to die.In today's civil war in Jieli and Tuli, there is no time to take care of the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be a good opportunity.Now there is only one of the rebellious kings in the Tang Dynasty. Although the locusts plagued the pass, sending troops to conquer the Liang country will not burden the country. "

Above the main hall, Du Ruhui spoke resoundingly.

Indeed, Xieli and Tuli turned against each other, which can be said to be a god-sent opportunity.Liang Guo in Liang Shidu, only because he was mixed between Datang and Turks, made Datang wary and did not dare to do anything casually.

Now that there is a civil war in Jieli Tuli, it would be too unreasonable not to beat him up at such a good opportunity.

Du Ruhui is the minister of the Ministry of War. Although he cannot directly issue orders to attack, he can raise them above the court.

Following Du Ruhui's suggestion, the generals laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth.

Now all parts of the Tang Dynasty are stable, and everyone lives a prosperous life.But eating too much food and wine can always make people slack off.It's such a joy to be able to get the battle now!

Li Jing thought for a while, and when Du Ruhui finished speaking, he stood up without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Jieli and Tuli are currently in civil war, and our Tang Dynasty can sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit. If we take Liang Shidu, I will go to the border." The line can be pushed to the north, waiting for the opportunity to go north. This can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Li Shimin on the throne closed his eyes and thought for a while.

As a former commander, he is naturally not a military idiot.Datang's dealing with Liang Guo can be described as killing a chicken with a bull's knife.Driving the army to take down such a chicken rib is indeed not worth the candle.But if it is helpful to go north to attack the Turks, not to mention that it is useless, even a loss can be borne.

After he figured it out, Li Shimin nodded, stood up and said, "Order: Xia Governor Shi Liumin and Sima Liu Lancheng seek the land. When the captives are captured, they will be released back to act as counter-parties to drive a wedge between the monarch and his ministers. The frontier army sent Qingqi to ravage his crops, making them The grain storage is empty. Order Chai Shao and Xue Wan to lead [-] troops to jointly attack, and order Liu Min to lead the elite troops to occupy the eastern city of Shuofang. If Jieli sends troops to support, counterattack!"

Among the generals, Chai Shao and Xue Wan were overjoyed, they hurried out and knelt down on one knee.Fastest update../ ../

Although Liang Guo's attack was not very challenging, but for them who had been in the comfort zone for too long, there was nothing to be picky about.

After solving the matter of sending troops to Liang Shidu, no one came out to play for a long time.

Fang Xuanling held up the two chapters in his sleeves, sighed, and decided to stand up.

It is impossible for the prince and the prince's grand master not to know to follow the proper procedure. He is qualified to intercept these two memorials, but they just did it.

The emperor's attack on the five surnames was only a blow to their prestige, but these two were determined to draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot!

Although Mrs. Fang is a woman with five surnames, as the prime minister, it is unreasonable for him to favor the five surnames at this time.

People can't be fools, you have to stand in the right team at critical times!

"Qi Zou Your Majesty, the Zhongshu Province has received the memorial from the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince's Grand Master. This is the first time since the refugee incident. The veteran feels that both of them are reasonable, so I hope the court will adopt it."

"Oh? The crown prince is giving a memorial again? This is something new. Since you have it with you, just read it for them."

Seeing Fang Xuanling's choice, Li Shimin couldn't help but become softer when speaking.

Originally thought that Li Shimin already had a lot of opinions on Fang Xuanling about the recommendation.But now it seems that this guy's heart is still towards him.

The prince's letter is on the dragon case. Even if the two memorials are kept by the Ministry of Education, the establishment of the academy is still unquestionable.

Li Gang's grand article tells that since the Warring States period, education has always been difficult to popularize.Now that the Tang Dynasty has stabilized, it is time to start teaching the world...

Li Chengqian's memorial directly told the various benefits of building a college, and wrote a whole piece of paper one by one.Not to mention reading all of it, even half of it can make people agree.

After reading the two memorials, Fang Xuanling cupped his hands, ignored several resentful gazes, and returned to his seat.

"Since the prince wants to establish a college, let him do it. The prince doesn't care about the government, but cares about the education of the Tang Dynasty. This is what I am happy to see. How about more than just your love?"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Wang Ze, the left servant of the household department, jumped out impatiently: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. I heard what the prince said. The college to be built needs to accommodate hundreds of students, and it is not Hongwen Hall at all. , Chongwen Museum can be compared. If it is built, it may be as large as a square city. Now that the locust plague is coming, the Ministry of War has to send troops again, and the Ministry of Households cannot afford it. Therefore, the establishment of a college must not be done. "

He knew that someone would stand up, so Li Shimin was not angry, but said with a smile: "The prince's memorial has made it clear that all expenses will be borne by the East Palace without taking the treasury."

Seeing that Wang Ze stood up and left sadly, Cui Ying, the servant of the Huangmen, also said: "Qi Zou Your Majesty, enlightening the world is also a long-cherished wish of the ministers. However, how can the prince preside over such a serious matter? It is not that the minister underestimates Prince, the prince is young, so the quality of the teacher he is looking for may not be very good. I am not talented, so I am willing to recommend several elders in the family to take up this position."

Let someone from your clan be the teacher?Isn't that leading wolves into the house?

The emperor, who had long expected someone to say that, kept his smile unchanged: "It seems that you didn't listen carefully. The memorial of the crown prince and grand teacher Li Gang made it clear that the selection of the teacher should be presided over by him. The old gentleman knew me well. There are many great Confucian scholars in the world, how many people will be short of them? Aiqing is worrying too much, let's step down."

Seeing the emperor smiling, Cui Ying felt desolate...

Naturally, he didn't listen carefully to the content of the memorial, because when he just introduced the thoughts of the immortal Li Gang and the little thief prince at the beginning, he had already guessed what they really meant.

The emperor threatened their five surnames to rely on imperial power, and these two people were even more vicious, and they actually directly attacked one of the roots of their family!

If this college is really built, and it really teaches a large number of scholars, what should they do with their five surnames?

Chapter 165 Site Selection

As long as you have eyes, you can see what the emperor means at this time.

Obviously, what the prince and the prince grand master wanted to do was in line with the emperor's idea.

In this locust plague, the reputation of the five surnames in the scholarly community has declined because they were utterly refuted by the prince.If the imperial court establishes another college to teach students all over the world, then the five surnames will probably only have the official position accumulated before, and their own land and money.

It seems that there are several things necessary for aristocratic families, but only two things are missing: easy access to official positions and prestige among scholars.But for the five surnames, such a blow was fatal.

Fang Xuanling's statement caused the five surnames to lose the support of the prime minister, and in the court, only the prime minister and a few people could stand against the emperor.

One of the only surviving old people—Xiao Yu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Old Li Gang is going to do is a great thing for my Tang Dynasty! After listening to his memorial, the old minister thinks back on his life, and he is really a dog. If the academy If it is completed, the old minister will write a letter to tell his old age, and it would be wonderful to teach and educate people with his old Li Gang!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Ai Qing is really tempted, but your body is still healthy, and I still hope that you will work hard for Datang for another two years. When the academy is really completed, I will naturally let you leave the court .”

Xiao Yu made his statement, followed by Wei Zheng.

Educate the world!This is what Lao Wei has always wanted.

With these few leaders, more than [-]% of the officials in the DPRK agreed, especially the emerging nobles, who advocated vigorously.

The so-called emerging nobles are Cheng Yaojin and others.In terms of official positions, they are all above the fourth rank, and in terms of titles, they all start as marquises.However, it is because of the small number of people in the family that they have always been despised by traditional families.Family and family, only when the ethnic group is large enough can the power of the family be great enough.Five surnames and Qiwang are like this. There are tens of thousands of children in their own family, and there are countless relatives.

Although the status of the emerging nobles is high, when it comes to learning, they are still in a humble position.If you want to find a husband for your own children, as long as they are famous, they will be arrogant and unwilling, let alone a family of aristocratic family.

Now that I have finally met the crown prince and grand teacher Li Gangyao to establish a college, what are you waiting for?Li Gang intends to establish a college, and the gentleman he invites will naturally not be unknown.Now that he is helping the old man in the court, it will be logical to send one or two of his own children to the academy in the future!

The clan members of the five surnames in the court hall, or the relatives of the five surnames, saw the scene of the crowd responding, sweating profusely!

In the court, the minority always obeys the majority, and the emperor generally cannot resist this universal rule.

That is to say, the old thief Li Gang and the little thief of the prince can get their wish!

Looking at each other, the sons-in-law of the five surnames, or distant relatives, also joined the ranks of approval.

It's okay not to join. Although I am related to the five surnames, I am not completely in their camp. It can be icing on the cake, but it is a fool to go against the trend with them.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will approve the memorial of the prince and the prince's grand teacher. Order the Ministry of Officials, cooperate with the prince as the position of the academy, and match the corresponding official position. Order the Ministry of Rites... Forget it, the prince is willing You can do whatever you want, there is no need to restrict it."

So far, most of the monarchs and ministers of the Zhenguan court happily passed this decision.

It was already noon when the imperial decree was delivered to the East Palace.

Li Gang, the prince's grand teacher, also offered sacrifices to Zhenguan College, and the prince served as the vice president. This is the content of the imperial decree.

As for when the college will be built, it's optional, how the college is built, whatever, and where the college is built, it's still arbitrary.It seems that he doesn't care about it, but the emperor can be said to favor the academy.Originally, the birth of a new building, or a group of buildings, was to allow the Ministry of Rites to follow the provisions of the classics on the area, height, and building structure.Now it doesn't matter at all, and the restrictions are also released.Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

After sending off the eunuch who delivered the decree, Li Gang asked with a smile: "Boy, why did the old man only hear about the position of sacrificial wine and vice-principal? Who is the principal?"

Li Chengqian sat down beside Li Gang with a smile, and said, "Who else can it be? Of course it is the father. Since our academy wants to stand firm, what's the matter without strong support. Now only the father and the emerging nobles will support the academy together." Not to mention a big family with five surnames and seven surnames, even ghosts and snake gods will keep us at a respectful distance.

Besides, if the father hadn't been the dean of the academy, how could we get the name 'Zhenguan'.It's the name of the year that makes our academy different, doesn't it? "

Li Gang laughed loudly, and then stretched out his hand after laughing, rubbing his thumb and index finger together: "I don't care about the construction of the academy, so I will leave it to you. And the summoning of the sir, I will leave it to the old man!" "

Seeing the movement of the old man rubbing his fingers, Li Chengqian called Fang Sheng: "Get ten thousand guan for Master Li!"

Money can turn ghosts around, and it is more appropriate to say it backwards at the end of this sentence.

Any scholar should stay away from "copper stink", and any gentleman is ashamed to talk about money, it's all bullshit.

Only fools are willing to do things for you if you have no money.

Since the academy wants to recruit qualified students, it will cost a lot.

I don't know who the old man plans to recruit. Anyway, when Li Chengqian was pouring tea, he found a letter with the words "Daozhou" written on it, so he didn't care anymore.

After the letter was finished, a hundred or so letters were scattered from Chang'an to various places in the Tang Dynasty, most of which were sent to remote areas in remote mountains.

The old man has countless acquaintances. After living for so many years, this network alone is not something that young people can compare at will.

Since the old man assured that there would be no fewer than eighty teachers teaching, Li Chengqian no longer cared about this, but chose the location for the college.

There is no need to think about it in Chang'an City. Since it is going to be built, the expansion of the college must be considered. If it is built in Chang'an City, who would dare to merge the two cities?

And to teach students, you must stay away from Vanity Fair, otherwise, if you teach him thrift in the classroom, he will be tempted by luxury, isn't it worth the candle?

After choosing and choosing, Li Chengqian finally chose the location of the college on the side of the Wei River, not far from the military camp.

It can be said that it is far away from human habitation, so there is no need to worry about expansion.Moreover, there are not many farmers here, and the college can cultivate a field by itself to educate students, and it can be self-sufficient.

After choosing the address, Li Chengqian immediately ordered He Shou and Yu Qiusheng to move the exchange point directly to the vicinity of the Weishui River.

No matter how many locusts there are, they all tend to be caught.The vagrants from Guanzhong and other places are still wandering towards Chang'an, it's impossible not to find something for them to do!

Chapter 166 Director of Admissions Office

"Let's start leveling according to this blueprint. You two counties must ensure that the thatched huts in the homeless villages are qualified. As for the methods of epidemic prevention, Daoist Sun will come to inspect them in two days and teach you hands-on. Cherish this opportunity and wait until the disaster is completely eliminated. Once it’s over, you’ll have no chance to learn.”

He Shou and Yu Qiusheng who were behind Li Chengqian naturally nodded their heads repeatedly, especially Yu Qiusheng, who was grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

This locust plague, the two of them shined brilliantly in the inspection by the Ministry of Officials. Although it was not yet time to assess their merits, their promotion was already a certainty.He Shou is still calm about such a promotion, Yu Qiusheng is going crazy.

They all thought that serving as the county magistrate of Chang'an was a beautiful thing, but the bitterness and bitterness in it were not enough for outsiders to understand.In charge of the most densely populated place in the entire Tang Dynasty, his little county magistrate is really not popular.He felt like he was going crazy for all the big guys with smiling faces all day long.

It can be said that it is exactly what he wants to be able to be released as a Biejia now.

"Your Highness, since you are going to arrange for the victims to help you level the land and build the academy, how should you pay them? Is it enough to manage the money?"

After getting along with each other for this period of time, He Shou felt that the prince was more like an adult friend than an aristocrat.Yu Qiusheng didn't dare to ask the same question, but he was able to open his mouth.
