Chapter 1324 I wish I could rush over and fight with Zhao Chen
This is the first time that so many people have come to Chang'an Military Academy.
But there were more people coming than when the college started before.
Fortunately, the students at Chang'an Military Academy have gone through months of training.
Otherwise, people inside would definitely be upset.
Officials from Dali Temple were not the only people who came to Chang'an Military Academy.
There are also businessmen who are extremely concerned about those quotas.
At the beginning, Zhao Chen revealed that he wanted to recruit businessmen's children to enter the Imperial Academy and study under the officials of Dali Temple.
It caused an uproar throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Even though many people felt that this matter was unreliable, no one said that they should give up such an opportunity.
Among scholars, farmers, and merchants, the status of merchants is always the lowest.
Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, court laws stipulated that they were not allowed to wear luxurious clothes.
Many businessmen want to wear good clothes, but they have to hide in their homes secretly.
Although there are no such rules nowadays, the world still looks down upon businessmen with great disdain.
Even the poor farmers spat on the ground when they saw wealthy businessmen like them.
No matter how rich they are, they can't take part in the imperial examination like ordinary people.
This is determined by their origins and cannot be changed.
But what Zhao Chen announced made all businessmen see an opportunity.
A chance for them to stand up.
"I heard that one hundred Dali Temple officials were selected above, so we can get two hundred places."
"But this quota is not so easy to get."
"Isn't that right? There are only two hundred places, and businessmen from all over the country don't know how many there are."
"There are definitely not enough places. It's probably an auction for the highest bidder."
"auction?"
"Then how can we small businessmen compare with them?"
"Hey, I heard that big businessmen from Jiangnan, Mobei, Lingxi, Qidong and other places are on the way."
"Although they didn't come in person, someone must have come here. We're afraid we won't be able to compete for a spot."
After Dali Temple officials walked into Chang'an Military Academy, businessmen from all over the country also came in chatting with each other.
The expressions on their faces may be happy or sad, but without exception, they are looking forward to this event.
…
Imperial College.
The suburbs of Chang'an are so busy today, there is no reason why the Imperial College wouldn't know about it.
At this moment, the officials of the Imperial College were gathered together.
The quota that Zhao Chen mentioned before was actually held at Chang'an Military Academy on time today.
The officials of the Imperial College all knew that Zhao Chen did not care about their Imperial College feelings at all.
In other words, their statement to Zhao Chen at the Tai Chi Palace was just bullshit in Zhao Chen's eyes.
The officials of the Imperial College are a group of pedantic old scholars.
What they care about most is their face.
At this moment, Zhao Chen ignored their objections and was still doing his own thing.
It was like a hard slap on their face.
"Chu Jijiu, Zhao Chen will openly control the Imperial College quota at Chang'an Military Academy today."
"For treating me like this, I feel like my blood is flowing backwards. I wish I could rush over and fight Zhao Chen." An official from the Imperial College said to Chu Suiliang.
The anger on his face made it difficult for people to realize that he was joking.
"Chu Jijiu, if Zhao Chen can do it today, how will our Imperial College be able to hold its head high in the future?"
"It's good that Zhao Chen is the King of Han, but he is just the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"When will our Imperial College listen to the orders of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Another person shouted with Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang also frowned.
He thought that Zhao Chen had given up on this matter because he had been silent these days.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a big commotion today.
As the Imperial College official in front of me said, when will the Imperial College be subject to the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs?
He, Zhao Chen, was the King of Han and the Minister of Household Affairs, but he was not the emperor.
Why did Zhao Chen insult his own Imperial College?
"What do you want to do?" Chu Suiliang didn't think of a way for a while, but he already planned to teach Zhao Chen a lesson.
Hearing Chu Suiliang speak, the faces of the Imperial College officials all showed joy.
Chu Suiliang was serving as the imperial concubine, so if he took action, his influence would definitely not be the same as ordinary officials like them.
"Chu Jijiu, you are the Jijiu of the Imperial College. The scholars all obey your words, and the children of businessmen are admitted to school. They are also very emotional about this matter."
"So, my subordinates suggested that Chu Jijiu take them to Chang'an Military Academy." The Imperial College official said.
"Take the scholars to Chang'an Military Academy?" Chu Suiliang frowned.
He felt that this approach was inappropriate.
This is a matter between the Imperial College and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Bringing those scholars along will not do them any good.
Chu Suiliang still remembered that Kong Yingda brought the students from the Imperial College to trouble Zhao Chen.
As a result, a scholar was killed by Zhao Chen on the spot.
Nothing happened about the matter later.
Although Chu Suiliang hated Zhao Chen's cruelty at that time, he was also angry at Kong Yingda's stupid behavior.
Now if he, Chu Suiliang, is to lead his scholars to find trouble for Zhao Chen, wouldn't that be repeating the same mistake as before?
"This matter is inappropriate. We cannot involve the Imperial College officials." Chu Suiliang rejected the suggestions of his officials.
"Then what should we do?" After hearing that Chu Suiliang rejected his suggestion, the Imperial College officials looked embarrassed.
His method is the best.
Although there is a suspicion of using the Imperial College officials as spearheads, after all, it is for their own good.
Once businessmen's children can also enter the Imperial College to study, will the pressure on the original Imperial College scholars not be great?
"Let's go ourselves and stop Zhao Chen's rebellious behavior." After a long time, Chu Suiliang said.
…
Ganquan Hall.
The emperor also heard his eunuchs talking about Chang'an Military Academy.
He was curious about how much money he could get from these two hundred places.
If possible, the emperor hopes that it can help him solve the remaining 500,000 guan needed in the Hedong area.
Otherwise, the emperor really wouldn't be able to get the five hundred thousand guan.
You can't borrow it anymore.
"Your Majesty." Empress Changsun walked into Ganquan Hall and called the emperor softly.
The emperor came back to his senses and nodded to Empress Changsun.
"Guanyin Maid is here, I was looking for you." The emperor said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, there is something you need to tell me about," Queen Changsun asked.
"Nothing, but there is an event at Chang'an Military Academy today. There are a lot of people. I want to ask Guanyin Maid if she would like to go out for a walk with me." The emperor explained, without explaining the real reason to Empress Changsun.
Of course Empress Changsun is willing.
She hasn't seen Zhao Chen for a long time.
Ever since Wu Jue left Chang'an, there seemed to be no trace of Zhao Chen in her world.
He wanted to go to Zhao Mansion to look for Zhao Chen, so Zhao Chen went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He went to the Ministry of Revenue by himself, and Zhao Chen went to Chang'an Military Academy.
Queen Changsun also knew that Zhao Chen was still avoiding her.
What happened to Wu Jue must have made Zhao Chen blame her mother very much.
but……
"Then I will accompany Your Majesty to have a look." Empress Changsun smiled and nodded.??
