"If you talk in vain, you will know that virtue and justice are the virtues, and if you recommend tribute, you must read it first." Qianfu talks about communication.
Yang Qi and others looked at each other. They thought that the opening of Taixue was just an exchange between the emperor and them. They did not expect that there were so many additional conditions that were unacceptable. At that time, the emperor wanted to gain support from everyone in the court discussion on salt and iron.
, it only said that Taixue would be reset, but it did not say what kind of Taixue would be reset.
According to the emperor's vision, in addition to conquest and promotion, the imperial court will also add an additional path to official advancement. In addition, the talents cultivated by Taixue in the future will not only be the Confucian students they teach through classics, but also the influence of the gentry on Taixue.
It will dilute other miscellaneous subjects.
If they had known these things in advance, they might not have swung to the emperor's side so easily that day, and would have definitely made the emperor make more concessions.
But now that the old exchange has been reached, even if they are dissatisfied with the reform measures attached to Taixue, they can only make new compromises with the emperor, and cannot blame the emperor for cheating and breaking his promise.
The emperor never thought of allowing the scholarly forces to easily return to Imperial College. This move not only surprised the sick Zhao Qian, but also some people within the Yang family who had always kept a low profile were dissatisfied.
In Yang Qi's mansion, the former Henan Yin Yang Yi was particularly excited, his face flushed: "In subjects such as Kai Ming Jing, Ming Law, and Economics, there will be examinations every year, and those who succeed will be admitted to Taichang, Tingwei, Shaofu and other officials.
, starting from the official position. Those who are ranked first will be sent to counties and counties to serve as officials in various departments."
Yang Yi looked at everyone and said: "In the past, once the imperial students passed the policy examination, they were either Langguan or Shiren. There was no reason to appoint them as officials. Isn't this a relegation?"
Except for Yang Ru, the captain who protects the Qiang, all the other relatives of the Yang family are gathered here. Everyone is seated according to their seniority in the family, not according to their official title. As the grandson of Yang Zhen's eldest son, Yang Mu, Hongnong
In the eldest room of the Yang family, Yang Qi sat in the middle, with Yang Biao and Yang Zhong sitting on the left and right, and further down were Yang Zan and Yang Yi.
"There was a precedent when the imperial court sent people to counties to serve as officials when farming was implemented." Guang Luxun and Yang Biao said without raising his eyelids: "Your Majesty thinks far ahead, and we are ministers."
, we must also look to the long term.”
"What does this mean?" Yang Yi suspected that he heard wrongly and asked repeatedly: "Aren't the peasants sent to various counties and counties a special case? Does your Majesty still want to continue to select people from the three departments to serve as officials?
How can this be done? This leaves the local government to decide how to recruit and recruit new members of the family and how to recommend their children."
"The three ministers are all Confucian scholars and talented people. It is indeed humiliating to allow them to serve as local officials. His Majesty has also said that the three ministers who have been eliminated and selected are all temporary choices, and it is appropriate to grant them officials as usual.
Yang Biao had obviously considered the emperor's idea and said calmly: "Although the third minister will not be a local official again, it does not mean that your Majesty has no intention of selecting suitable talents to serve as local officials."
"But will the students be happy? After studying for several years, they only got a county official." Yang Yi frowned and said: "Besides, those hairpin families will not be happy to see this."
Yang Yi was once promoted to Yin of Henan by Dong Zhuo, but was later defeated by Zhu Jun and stayed at home. It was not until the Yang family regained some power in the court that he returned to Chang'an and waited for his relatives to find a job for him.
It's just that Yang Yi had flattered Dong Zhuo, had bad deeds in Qu Yimei, and was defeated by others, unable to defend his territory. These are all weaknesses that political opponents can seize and use to criticize, and there are already several people in the Yang family holding important positions.
Spending time recommending Yang Yi, who is not very useful, will not bring much benefit. Instead, it will give people the impression that the Yang family is powerful, which is contrary to the Tao Hui line currently pursued by the Yang family.
He was not strong enough to forge the iron, and his family took the initiative to keep it in cold storage, which made Yang Yi very aggrieved. After finally dormant until now, he heard that the emperor was going to reopen the Imperial Academy. For the benefit of himself and his family, he had been eager to try it.
, I want to secure a place for Imperial College to offer wine.
Originally, everyone in the Yang family nodded in agreement. Yang Biao even had a conversation with Zhao Qian when he was checking on Zhao Qian's condition, saying that as long as the emperor was willing, the Yang family would not mind if Zhao Wen replaced Zhong Fu as Tai Chang.
In exchange for this, Yang Yi had to offer wine to the Imperial Academy again.
All parties reached a tacit understanding, and Yang Yi was always ready to serve as the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, instilling ideas into the Imperial College students on behalf of the Yang family, and recruiting disciples.
But the current situation is that the former Taichang Zhongfu was transferred to the city gate school captain, and the former guard Zhao Wen became Taichang as he wished, while Yang Yi is still in Baishen without any embarrassment. Although Zhao Wen kept his promise and recommended it to the emperor
Yang Yi offered wine to the imperial scholar, but the emperor ignored him.
Yang Yi knew that no matter how reluctant he was, as long as he wanted to offer sacrifices to Taixue, he had to accept the new rules set by the emperor for Taixue and accept the fact that his influence on Taixue would be greatly reduced in the future.
"So what if you don't want to?" Yang Biao felt a hint of unhappiness in his heart and said sadly: "This time, the imperial court did not care about family background, and anyone who wanted to learn could study. It was the imperial court that gave them the opportunity to receive education. When they were assigned, they had
What reason can you use to refute the local appointment? Do you dare to openly defy the appointment of the imperial court?"
In the past, the imperial court only selected officials such as prefects, commanders, and chief lieutenants. Their meritorious officials and subordinates were all local celebrities and talents who were recruited by the order keeper. Once these people were recruited, they would form a relationship with the recommender.
A relationship between the monarch and his ministers, which is similar to the relationship between the king and his ministers, is the dual monarchy system unique to the Han Dynasty.
This system greatly hindered the concentration of imperial power, and also promoted the birth of a large number of interest groups, which combined with each other to form a huge scholar group. Not only that, it also caused the expansion of local clan power and hindered the central government from transferring administrative power to the local grassroots.
extension.
The emperor always wanted to increase the court's control over various counties and counties, facilitate the smooth flow of government orders, and slowly change the tradition of subordinate officials recruiting themselves. That's why he wanted to design Taixue into a grassroots official training institution, which would be derived from it in the future.
The imperial examination only assessed and selected officials, instead of assessing bureaucrats like other dynasties.
Examinations are divided into majors. Students in the Ming Law Department can only go to the Imperial Court and the local Xingcao, starting from junior officials and promoted based on political merit. Students in the Economics Department can only go to Shaofu, Dasinong and other places, and they are also promoted based on political merit.
The assessment content was specialized and subject-based, which was very different from the real imperial examination. On the contrary, the emperor borrowed some systems from later civil service examinations.
Yang Zhong, a lieutenant general with five senses sitting opposite Yang Biao, further explained: "Why did your Majesty choose Mingguang Palace to be the Imperial Academy? This is not just because of His Majesty's admiration for literature. At that time, Mingguang Palace could accommodate thousands of beauties from Yan and Zhao, and the place was spacious.
It is not a lie to renovate the school to accommodate ten thousand people. Once these tens of thousands of Tai students complete their studies and pass His Majesty's examinations, the imperial court will definitely place them as officials in various departments. Is it possible to let them serve as orders? Prime Minister
"
"But this is too much." Yang Yi still couldn't accept it.
"This matter, whether it is to promote enlightenment or to govern the place, your majesty is not wrong in doing so." Yang Qi, the minister, bluntly stated Yang Yi's thoughts: "If you think it is unacceptable, it is nothing more than an infringement on yourself.
But you’re not too good at sacrificing wine yet.”
What he said made Yang Yi so ashamed that he just bowed his head and apologized.
Yang Zhong was the shrewdest and cunning person in the room. He suddenly laughed and said: "After all, there are so many scholars in the world who admire the scriptures and seek truth. How can there be any special knowledge in miscellaneous subjects waiting for you to come here? No matter whether you are rich or not."
They all have a lot to do. Why speak out against them at this time only to let others take advantage of them?"
The study of Confucian classics was very popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many people studied in order to understand the meaning of Confucian classics. This time, Taixue opened various subjects for students to take electives. It seemed that the Ming classics were juxtaposed with others, but in fact, many students chose which subject to study.
These are not yet clear
What's more, the teaching staff below the level of Jijijiujiu, Ph.D., and teaching assistant, who are not from a Confucian background, will naturally be inclined to Ming Jing. When Taixue gradually formed a culture of emphasizing Ming Jing and despising law, economics and other miscellaneous subjects, the emperor would think again.
