Compulsory education in ancient times

Because of his father's injury, Murong Wenyu took leave for a few days to take care of the sick at home. Tao Yanran graciously agreed, and asked Tao Xiran to bring some precious medicinal materials to his father.

The matter of the Murong family has come to an end.

At Murong's house in Qingzhou, if someone refuses to follow, then send someone to suppress it.Anyway, Qi Bohan has long been displeased with Murong's family, and he has wanted to do this for a long time.

As a result, there is no Murong family in Qingzhou in the world, but there is a Murong family in Beijing controlled by Murong Wenyu.This can be regarded as good news. The family controlled by Murong Wenyu will naturally obey Tao Jianran's orders, which can be regarded as a boost.

However, Tao Yanran did not expect that Murong Wenyu would use this method to solve the problem, it was really unexpected.

Qi Bohan also admired Murong Wenyu's thunderous tactics this time. After thinking for a while, he said to Tao Yanran: "Murong has made great achievements in calming the chaos this time. What reward does His Majesty the Empress plan to give him?"

"This time he's made a mistake and wants to reward him?" Tao Yanran didn't think about it, but Qi Bohan must have made up his mind when he said this, "What do you think is better to reward?"

"The position of Zuo Pushe has been vacant. It is better to promote him to the official position. It just so happens that the position of Minister of Rites is also given up to later generations." Logically speaking, Tao Jianran used to be Zuo Pushe's position, and now he is the As the queen, this position should continue to be vacant and taboo.

But now Murong Wenyu has a minister of rites under Murong Wenyu's ass, and Tao Jianran has also sat there!Today's emperors and empresses are not the ones who will be bound by those red tape locks.

Sure enough, after Tao Jianran heard what Qi Bohan meant, he was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Do you think Murong can compete with Gongsun Deye for the position of Prime Minister?"

"In the past, he was too..." Qi Bohan held back for a while before choking out a word, "Too gentle to sit in a high position. Now, you can give it a try."

Tao Jianran also felt it.The former Murong Wenyu was gentle at best, but too lacking in courage at worst.To be a minister is already the limit, let him be a prime minister with one person under ten thousand, he is not capable of that.

But Murong Wenyu's handling method this time is really eye-catching.Moreover, he can even attack his biological father and the family that raised him. Although he is not ruthless, it is enough to show that he is a person who can handle things, is courageous and responsible!

Thinking that his subordinates have also cultivated a person who can compete with Qi Bohan's people for the position of prime minister, Tao Yanran is very proud: "Then I will make an order!"

Tao Jianran directly issued two imperial decrees this time, one was to promote Murong Wenyu, and the other was to find someone to replace him as Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Li had been serving as Minister of Rites for so many years, and when he heard that Murong Wenyu had been promoted to Zuo PU She, he was immediately ecstatic!

Now, it's his turn to take the position of Minister of Rites no matter what!

The entire Zhao family thought so, so everyone immediately bathed and changed clothes, waiting for the eunuch who declared the decree to arrive.

However, the Zhao family happily waited from dawn to dark, but they did not wait for anyone to visit.

It wasn't until half an hour before the curfew started that a young servant hurried in: "Master, master! The Ministry of Rites, the order has been made!"

"What did you say?!" Zhao Li jumped up, "Speak clearly!"

The little servant swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Just now after the dinner time, a young eunuch in the palace left the palace with the imperial decree, and went to Xi's house. Just now there was a word from the Xi's house, Mr. Xi, he...he... "The boy looked at Zhao Li's cannibalistic eyes, and didn't dare to say the following words.

But at this time, no one in the Zhao family can guess what will happen next.

The room was awkwardly silent.

After a long time, Zhao Licai said angrily: "Then Xi Tianyun is just a small Sizheng, your majesty, why is your majesty... really, really..."

Zhao Li talked for a long time, but he didn't dare to insult Tao Jianran, so his face turned red.

The whole family was filled with indignation at the fact that Zhao Li had not been promoted to Shangshu, only Zhao Li's eldest son seemed calmer: "Recently, His Majesty has alienated his father a lot, did his father do something that displeased His Majesty?"

"How is it possible! Don't you all know what I did!" Apart from flattery, he dared not do anything else!

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhao screamed: "It's that bitch Liu Niang! She must have said something to His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhao Li immediately remembered that the morning Liu Niang left Beijing, Tao Jianran looked at his cold eyes and couldn't help shivering: "Yes, since that day, Your Majesty has been alienating me."

"Master, what's the matter...ah!" Mrs. Zhao was slapped hard by Zhao Li before she could finish her sentence.

"It's all you bastard! If it wasn't for your good deeds, how could Liu Niang be divorced from us!" Zhao Li was furious, and wanted to continue beating, but was stopped by the eldest son.

"Father, the most urgent task is to restore His Majesty's impression of you."

"You are right!" Zhao Li glared at Fa's wife angrily, "I will divorce this vicious woman immediately!"

The eldest son's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said: "Father! Now that my younger brother is being favored, we should write to him and ask him to speak well for us."

"It's not too late for me to get rid of this poisonous woman first!" Zhao Li now blamed his wife for not being able to sit on the position of minister, no matter how she looked at her, she was so angry!

"If you divorce your mother, your younger brother's status as a descendant will be ruined. How will he deal with himself in the court in the future?" The eldest son said coldly.Not only Zhao Wenqing, but even him!

However, now Zhao Wenqing is the most favored and promising one in the family. In the future, it will not be a problem for the Zhao family to rely on him to reach another level.Only by using him as an excuse, Zhao Li would not do such stupid things.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Li heard this, he suppressed his plan to divorce his wife, only restrained her feet, and went to write a letter to his youngest son.

Compared with a farce in the Zhao family, the Xi family is much calmer.

Now the Xi family is small, and when Xi Tianyun was in trouble, the Xi family more or less bullied him.

Now that Xi Tianyun is willing to take them with him, it is already very generous. These people dare not approach Xi Tianyun, for fear that he will think of something and offend him.

Therefore, Xi Tianyun had no one to share such a great joyous event of being promoted to Shangshu.

On the morning of the second day, Murong Wenyu hurried over from his vacation to attend the court.Together with Gongsun Deye, they stood on the left and right sides behind Weng Yuanji.

Xi Tianyun took the place of Murong Wenyu, stood in front of Zhao Li, and calmly faced Zhao Li's jealous eyes.

Tao Jianran's two edicts of promotion brought about subtle changes in the situation in the court.

In the past, Tao Jianran was only superior to Qi Bohan in terms of military strength, but now, apart from Weng Yuanji's position in the court, Qi Bohan and Tao Jianran occupied a very balanced position.

If counting the strength of troops, Qi Bohan's strength would be far inferior to Tao Jianran's!

For this reason, Qi Bohan deliberately selected two outstanding juniors from the Feng family and the Wang family, and sent them to study beside Wang Junhao. He also promoted several people who passed the imperial examination last year but were not from Xingzhi Academy.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all.

In the future, Xingzhi Academy will become more and more popular, and the proportion of Xingzhi students in the imperial examination will increase. If Qi Bohan cannot select Xingzhi students, he will definitely be completely suppressed by Tao Jianran in the future.

Such a situation is not what Qi Bohan and Tao Jianran want to see.

Tao Jianran had no intention of suppressing Qi Bohan, and the purpose of the two of them governing the Rui Dynasty together was to allow the two sides to check and balance each other's hands, form a healthy competition, and maintain the vitality of the Rui Dynasty's officialdom.

If the power of one side forms a suppression, then the strong side will have no checks and balances, and it will definitely become more and more corrupt in the future.

Tao Jianran thought for a long time with his chin in his hands, and then said: "Now Xingzhi College has been classified as a national government, logically speaking, they are also your students. But now everyone has the impression that Xingzhi College was founded by me, so they will default to those students They are all mine. Would you like to do something to change everyone's minds?"

Qi Bohan also has this intention, but he is the emperor now, so it is a bit difficult to do things that fit his status as emperor: "But do you have any suggestions?"

Tao Jianran rested his chin and thought about the activities in the previous life that were suitable for holding in the school, and suddenly his head flashed: "We can regularly hold competitions or knowledge contests in the school in the name of the two of us!"

Now the campus life of Xingzhi College is too monotonous. Like the campus in the previous life, there are not only Mathematical Olympiads, but also various speech competitions, singing competitions, debate competitions, and various interest group competitions. The activities are simply not too rich!

After listening to Tao Jianran's introduction, Qi Bohan was also very interested: "I remember Qinghui Academy and Xingzhi Middle School had a debate competition before, and it is very popular among the people now?"

"That's right, the annual debate competition held by Minsheng Daily has earned a lot of money just for the tickets and snacks!" Tao Jianran said, "This is all over now, pick someone else." It’s a little fresher. Singing doesn’t count, speeches? Or interest group competitions?”

"Both together." Qi Bohan finally made a decision, "One will be held every year, and the other will be held every other year."

Speeches can find political talents with good eloquence and sharp vision.Interest groups can cultivate food reserves for research institutes.

However, the most important thing in doing this is to declare Qi Bohan's ownership of Xingzhi College, so that the students of Xingzhi College can also have a sense of belonging to Qi Bohan. As for the benefits brought by the competition, that is secondary .Therefore, for the specific content of the game, the two did not enter into an in-depth discussion.

Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan made a general plan in a few words, and then left this difficult problem to the newly appointed Xi Tianyun and Wang Wanning.
