I heard from the servants of Prince Ning's mansion that King Ning Gu You carried Princess Ning into the conservatory that night when he returned to the mansion. The candles that were as warm as the morning sun lasted until sunrise.

Later, the matter of King Ning wanting to accept the side concubine was nothing.

After the matter was over, those ladies who donated their portraits also let out a long sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted to get involved in a couple who were sweet and sweet, and no one wanted to go to the home of a loving couple to see people. Even if Prince Ning Yi's mansion is as rich as an enemy country, and the money industry is within the entire territory of Da Zhou.

Above the court, the official position of Jingzhao Fu Yin is still pending, and the deputy secretary and acting government are becoming more and more unable to do what they want.Taifu Han Mochu wrote a letter to recommend Prince Ning Yi Gu You as the new Governor of Jingzhao.

According to what Taifu Han said, Gu You, as the head of the clan of super princes, has always been a noble without a position since he was named the king's mansion. It is the face of a country, and it cannot afford a little mistake.If Prince Ning Yi was the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, he would not have to weigh the pros and cons in everything, and he would not have to care about who's family status was high or low, and he would not have to care about offending the powerful, because he was the biggest dignitary in the Zhou Dynasty.

After Gu You took office, all clans and royal families, internal and external ministers, whoever caused troubles will be held responsible, and whoever violated the law will be punished. No one dares to talk about favoritism anymore.

Within a few months, the capital was peaceful on the ground.

Because His Royal Highness Prince Ning, who didn't like reading since he was a child, never settled cases. No matter the plaintiff or the defendant, he would hit [-] boards first in court.

In order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, the officials and the people even the dandies who have always been arrogant and domineering have behaved themselves one by one.

Looking at the history of the Great Zhou Kingdom for a hundred years, when did the city of Bianjing ever have such a peaceful time?

The king Gu Xiu couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, only the powerful can suppress the powerful, and the bastards can punish the bastards."

***

At the end of that year, the Minister of Rites wrote a letter asking for an order for Enke in the spring of the next year.

Next year will be the first year for the first batch of students from the county school funded by Guochao to start their studies.Since the county school was established under the new policy in the third year of Yongding, not only the children of the Central Plains Dazhou people's families, but also the children of the right age from the foreign tribes who were reclaimed by Gu Xiu in the Southern and Northern Wars, have also been established in the local county school. They study in middle school, food and clothing are provided in the school, and money is distributed to poor families, in order to make the people of Dazhou, both men and women, able to read and write, the people's wisdom is open, and the country is rich.

Next year, the youngest of those students will be 14 years old, and has reached the age where he can obtain fame.

According to the evaluation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, there should be no fewer than 30 students from various places in Enke in the coming year.

30 people, this number is almost ten times the number of people who participated in Enke in previous years, such an unprecedented grand occasion, it can be seen that the country is strong.

Just when the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing with the king to divide next year's Enke into four games, two more than previous years, Taifu Han Mochu came out at this time with a wat in his hand, and bluntly wrote to the king to abolish Enke. division.

As soon as the words Abolish Enke came out, it was as if a thunderbolt had been thrown fiercely on the quiet water waves.

Since Gu Xiu came to power, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have been tempered by Taifu Han's new policies again and again, but the fact that the abolition of Enke is too big, and this is no longer a waste of people and money, but already deviant.

The courtiers in the first class of the Ministry of Rites were all dumbfounded. They seemed to be worried that Taifu Han would abolish Enke now, and whether the Ministry of Rites would be abolished next.

Even Gu Xiu never imagined that Han Mochu would speak so amazingly in the court. He faced Han Mochu day and night, and Han Mochu never mentioned to him the abolition of Enke.

"Teacher Han, I only have one question to ask you. If there is no Enke, how will our court be elected?" Gu Xiu sat on the newly built Hanyuan Hall, the crown on his head covered his expression, and the chaos in the audience instantly Then they fell silent, and everyone was quietly waiting for what kind of answer this Taifu Han could give based on this matter.

"I believe that there are so many students today, and the people live in peace and prosperity, so we should set up prefectural schools, prefectural schools, and high schools in the capital. All students of the right age who have completed their studies in the county can be admitted to the school according to their own wishes. The local prefectural school, after three years of prefectural school, can enter the state school again. If the prefectural school is successful and the grades are excellent, they can enter the Beijing middle school to study. Ten years of hard study, but all the students in the world can enjoy the great grace of the emperor."

"Taifu Han, boys and girls are all studying together in the county school. If the prefectural school is set up in the future, will this woman be able to enroll?" All the officials looked at each other for a long time, and then the Minister of Rites remembered a sentence.

"Naturally, women of my age are comparable to men. Among the women who are determined to continue their studies and have excellent grades, they can also enter the government school."

Shang Qi, who hadn’t been valued by the previous court for a long time, stroked his gray beard, and said: “Your Majesty, I think that Han Taifu’s move is a fantasy. If Enke is abolished next year, The prefectural school has not yet been established, so the 30 students will not be able to make their debut? Han Taifu also said that girls will be allowed to enter the school, so when the time comes, those young men and women will study together in the same place, what will happen?"

"Lord Shang, I intend to abolish Enke, just to reduce the number of people in the court who only know how to stick to the rules like you, and don't seek meritorious deeds, but seek no faults." Han Mochu raised his lips and looked at that side with a smile. : "Now the former court is discussing the matter of getting an official position, but you only hear that men and women of the right age are studying together. I think you only have love between men and women in your mind, stealing jade and stealing fragrance, right?"

"Han Mochu!" Shang Qi's white beard was blown up in anger: "You idiot! I'm an idiot! I'm going to fight with you today, old man!"

"The abolition of Enke is a serious matter. Let's retreat from the court for the time being, and the ministers will discuss it later." Before Shang Qi was so angry with Han Mo that he vomited blood, the emperor Gu Xiu stepped forward to stabilize the situation.

After the court was over, the monarch and his ministers retreated into the Ziju to change their clothes, and the six-part memorial was also sent over at this time. After each of them drank a cup of sweet soup, they began to deal with the affairs of the court.

"Your Majesty has put up with a lot of words in the previous court today?" Han Mochu unhurriedly spread out a memorial, and read it carefully.

"Since Tai Tuo is well aware, he must also know what I want to ask?" Gu Xiu sat upright across from that person with an extremely serious expression.

"Your Majesty is nothing more than for today's school affairs. You can ask any questions you want, and the minister will just answer."

"You are facing each other day and night. Why don't you discuss with me first when you want to do such a big thing, but directly speak out at the previous court? You want to abolish Enke, you want to set up a women's school, these are unprecedented things You have seen the reaction of the previous court today, you didn't say anything to me, you didn't even write a letter, which shocked me..."

"Since your majesty has been a king, what you have done has always been unprecedented. Your majesty is a king, and if you have a memorial, you must speak directly to your majesty in the previous court. Is it possible that your majesty also feels that your minister has done something wrong?" Han Mo began to write. , The words are handsome: "There is also the matter of women's studies. Didn't His Majesty say before that he would allow women to enter politics for Princess Shu Ning, so why is it that His Majesty refuses to allow this matter now that I have raised it?"

"It's not a matter of my permission or disapproval, it's just that Taifu Han is too aggressive in what he did today. Once the academy is opened, what will happen to those who have not been successful for many years? If there is no Enke, they will spend the rest of their lives All the hard work has been ruined. If this group of people is alienated from the country, is this something Taifu Han wants to see?"

"If they don't pass the exam, it means that they are not suitable to serve the country. Now that farmers and businessmen are flourishing, there are not so many rules that put fame first. They can do farming and business if they don't pass the exam. If they are not good enough, they can go to work in other people's homes. If If you don’t work hard at reading and don’t distinguish between grains and grains, even if Enke is not abandoned, this group of people will still have nothing to do." Han Mochu sat upright and continued to review on the memorial, without the slightest intention of giving in: "My dear Zhou officials rule the state system, so these mediocre people should not be allowed."

"You bluntly said that Enke was useless in the previous court, but now ninety-nine percent of the officials in the court are from Enke Scholars, so you are not afraid of offending everyone? You became the leader of the three princes without scientific examination, but you are As a master of Mr. Yi Ji, how many Mr. Yi'an can there be in the world, and how many Grand Tutors can there be?"

"If a school is established, I can guarantee that there will be countless ministers in the world in the future, countless people who can serve my family and country like me, and do my best for my great Zhou. I am never afraid of offending anyone, because I only have the world in my heart. "Han Mochu put down the brush in his hand, raised his eyes and said: "I remember that when I was young, Your Majesty said to me that the evils of Enke have accumulated for a long time. If you can win the world in the future, you will definitely change it. Now your Majesty has been in power for many years. If the disadvantages of the department are not corrected at this time, when will it be? Does Your Majesty think that the benevolence of the prince will be able to shock all the officials by then?"

Gu Xiu was stumped by Han Mochu's words, so he could only say coldly: "Han Mochu, you are simply unreasonable."

In the middle of the night at Haishi, the author of the Wu family of Shanggong and the monarch and his ministers made a warm bed and warm quilts.

The king's anger still persisted, and he kept his face cold and refused to speak.

The two monarchs and ministers went to bed side by side, Taifu Han put the brocade quilt on Gu Xiu's lap in a pleasant manner, but the emperor who was in a fit of anger lifted the quilt: "I will not lie in the same quilt as you."

"Your Majesty, it's cold today, I advise you to take care of your dragon body." Han Mochu pulled the corner of the brocade quilt that Gu Xiu had lifted, and hid it again.

"It's very hot, so there's no need to cover these heavy things." Gu Xiu was born stubborn, sometimes it's clearly not what he thinks in his heart, but he always shows it in face.

"That's all, I'll go to sleep first." Han Mochu usually doesn't give him such face, Gu Xiu was angry and refused to cover the quilt, so Han Mochu rolled the quilt all over his body with peace of mind, and fell asleep after a while.

The night is getting darker.

Gu Xiu leaned against the head of the bed quietly with his arms folded, looking at the brocade quilt wrapped around Han Mochu's body, he thought in his heart: I have been so cold and annoyed all night, and tomorrow I will feel the wind and cold, you should feel sorry for yourself, you must Distressed.
