"Liu Gongtou (Liu Kui), the Minister of Academic Affairs, is in poor health and has been begging to resign to recuperate. In the past few months, Uncle Fan Qian has been very impressive in Huaixi County and has achieved outstanding political achievements. Therefore, I proposed to the Minister and the Cabinet that Uncle Fan Qian be transferred to serve as academic advisor.
Minister of the Ministry of Government."
Although Liu Zhengfu was just the Minister of Rites, he was given the title of Bachelor of Chui Gongdian, which gave him greater real power than ordinary right servants. Moreover, the Ministry of Rites was responsible for culture, education, and propaganda—similar to the ideological department of later generations. It was also responsible for organizing national examinations and university admission examinations.
supervision.
Therefore, he has the right to speak in the selection of the Minister of Academic Affairs.
Did it work well and achieve great results?
Su Mai was startled. He suddenly thought of the letters from several old friends in Huaixi, saying that Fan Zhixu had actively responded to the Shangshu Province in Huaixi in the past two months, launched a "Study Hard, Practical Progress" campaign, organized various state and county officials, and took turns to
Study and strive to "unify our thinking, correct our style, and get rid of bad habits."
At the same time, he also made a public speech, mentioning what the target of "unified thought" is - "loyalty to the emperor and close to the people, building a prosperous people and a strong country, and a prosperous New Song Dynasty" proposed by the officials...
These speeches were not only compiled into articles and published on the front page of Huaixi County's official newspaper, "Huaihe Newspaper", but two of them were also slightly modified by "Donghua Chaobao", with editor's notes added, and published on the second page.
The impact is huge.
All this was clearly revealed, and Fan Zhixu completely devoted himself to the new school, and even became an effective cadre in advocating the new trend of thought. His transfer to the Minister of Academic Affairs meant that he was about to be promoted - three or four years later, taking over the Ministry of Rites or being promoted to Youpushe would both be
A matter of course.
What are you still worried about and worried about?
Su Mai suddenly became discouraged and stopped talking.
Cai Bian glanced at him and continued with the agenda of the meeting.
When discussing personnel arrangements with the cabinet elders, Cai Bian always has a sense of proportion. First of all, he communicates privately one by one, and will not let a third party know the results of the two cabinet discussions, nor let the other party know the results of his discussions with other cabinet elders.
.
Sometimes he judges that the other party's opposition is very resolute, and he doesn't try to persuade him much - as long as he has enough votes to support it.
Therefore, it is only during cabinet meetings that the hidden opinions and contradictions of various parties will surface.
"The candidates recommended by the Ministry of Personnel for the chief envoy of Huaixi County include Zhang Yi and Xiang Huadi..."
Hearing Zhang Yi's name, Su Mai was confused again.
This man was a direct disciple of Mr. Yin Chuan (Cheng Yi). In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Mr. Yin Chuan was seriously ill. At this time, he was ignored by the officials and the court. His former relatives and friends did not dare to approach him, and the old school was fighting with the new school.
The fire was in full swing, but he was not taken into consideration for a while, which made this spiritual leader of the old school have a miserable life in his later years.
After Zhang Yi heard about it, he quickly asked for leave and ran to wait on his mentor on his sick bed. After his death, he personally mourned for him. He even ran back to Kaifeng City and begged the officials for a memorial letter and a posthumous award from his majesty.
The imperial edict of the title of Zhongshun Doctor.
After the funeral was over, due to overwork and grief, he fell ill and almost died.
If he has done this as a disciple, even if he is now a key general of the new sect, the old sect cannot accuse him—they have no shame to accuse him.
Oh, forget it. Su Mai remained silent.
"Uncle Zhang Si seems to be a bit younger. I'm afraid it would be a bit rash to entrust him to a county rashly."
Fan Chun said something.
His qualifications and political achievements are all impeccable - he participated in the Battle of Mobei, achieved military merit, and was awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor. He also served in the bitter cold land of Lingbei to govern and benefit the people, and stayed there for two full years.
This resume is heavy.
"Fan Jigong, Uncle Zhang Si is forty-one years old. Compared with us, he is indeed younger. But in fact, he is not young anymore." Cai Bian replied with a smile.
Fan Chun was silent. Indeed, Zhang Yi was forty years old. Compared with sixty-year-olds like himself and Cai Bian, he was certainly younger, but compared with the backbones of the New School, he was not young at all.
Zhang Shuye, the great scholar of Chongzheng Palace and Zuo Pushe, is the best candidate to be the next Dazai. He is only forty-seven years old. How can he compare? There are also Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Changsun Moli, Zeng Baohua, Cao Duo, and Ducai Er.
At thirty years old, everyone is in a high position, so how can they compare?
No more comparison!
The more Fan Chunchen thought about it, the more discouraged he became - why are there so many talented people in the new school? From fifty to more than 20 years old, there is no gap at all. Looking at the old school, Su Mai is considered young - but he is also fifty-three years old.
There is no successor.
Fan Chunchun thought again that as soon as the officials came to the throne, they would conduct national examinations and universities. At that time, everyone thought that the officials were trying to create an emperor and a courtier. But now that he thought about it, he discovered the mystery - he first sent his cronies to control all the officials.
Universities, during the recruitment examination, use various methods such as setting questions to recruit like-minded talents or talents who have potential to be cultivated into each university.
During the two-year study process at the university, they were constantly eliminated and influenced, and finally passed the national examination, and these trained students were sent to all corners of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty - now in the national examination every year, those who pass the A subject in Chengdu
, students from Biyong University account for 60%, and B majors account for 50%. The remaining 40 to 50% are also taken up by new mainstream universities such as Jiangdong University, Jiangning University, and Tunghai University.
After ten years of accumulation, it’s no wonder that new talents emerge one after another. But the old school seems to have been dug out of its roots.
It’s no wonder that if you don’t learn the new knowledge well, even if you become a great scholar in the country and fail the national examination, you still won’t be able to be a ninth-grade official. Under such circumstances, who would bother to learn the old knowledge?
When the officials came to the throne, they had already formulated strategies, which led to today's results. Perhaps, if the great scholars did not see through this at the beginning, they were already doomed to failure.
Soon, Zhang Yi became the candidate with the most votes among the candidates for Huaixi County Chief Envoy, with ten votes.
After deliberation on the candidates for these governors and county chief envoys, they also discussed the candidates for two governor envoys, three deputy chief envoys and three Zhili magistrates.
"The local vacancies have been decided, and now we are discussing the candidates for the chief officials of the Hanlin Academy and other institutions. Due to health reasons, Xiao Su Gong (Su Che) resolutely resigned from the post of chief minister of the Hanlin Academy. The vacancies must be filled. The Ministry of Personnel recommended it.
Pan Yi, Liu Bing...five people. Before I express my opinions, I would like to make a few remarks."
Cai Bian stroked his beard and said calmly: "Since the year of Tianqi, the responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy have changed greatly. It now has the jurisdiction of the Shuchang Pavilion, Yumo Pavilion and Yilun Pavilion. There is a saying, "When the county guard leaves the Hanlin Academy, the general will be the source.
Everyone knows what Wansheng means."
Of course everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy is an important institution for training civil servants.
After the national examination every year, the top 20 students in subjects A and B will be admitted to the Common Council, where they will be admitted as commoners, Guanzhengmen, provincial monks and ministers. After leaving the college, they will start at a higher level than other subjects in the same field.
The remaining candidates who passed the national examination will also enter the national affairs and judicial training class of the Hanlin Academy, study and train for half a year, and then be assigned to various ministries and counties.
In Yilun Hall and Yumo Hall, the former studies state affairs, and the latter studies justice. Being able to study in the hall means that you will soon become a fourth-level magistrate. Going up higher, study and training are no longer the most important, the key is your own ability.
As well as timing, luck, and fate.
That's why Cai Bian just said, "The county guard comes from the Imperial Academy, and the general comes from Wansheng." Wansheng Armed Forces Academy is now a place for military officers above the school level to further their training, and is the cradle of generals.
In the silence of everyone, Cai Bian continued: "Pan Yi proposed to me that the post of chief minister of the Hanlin Academy should be held by an official. Only in this way can the emperor's disciples be worthy of their reputation. I had an informal meeting with Li Yuan, the envoy of the Privy Council.
, it was also unanimously agreed over there that the official position of Grand Priest Liquor of Wanshengyuan would be respectfully invited. So what we want to discuss now is the candidate for the position of Zuo Siye of the Hanlin Academy - the deputy position of the Hanlin Academy, in charge of the practical teaching and instruction.
"
When Cao Duo heard this, Pan Laoqi went to the Secretary's Office, presumably together with Cai Dazai, to convey this opinion to the officials, and he must have obtained the official's approval.
Nowadays, the custom of assigning teachers to each other has become very popular. Who can serve as a priest in the Hanlin Academy? Even if a student who has been trained has become a Dazai, he must not call him "teacher" when he meets him?
"When a county guard comes out of the Imperial Academy, his generals will be victorious." This is where the great civil and military ministers of the Song Dynasty come from. Who dares to claim to be his mentor? In the past, Zhang Dun, Su Che, Zhang Kai, Yao Lin, etc. were all veterans of several dynasties, with high moral character and high prestige.
The sacrificial wine is barely okay.
Who in the next generation would dare to do this?
So I played like this. Pan Laoqi, you can do it. I not only flattered the officials, but also prevented others from criticizing me. Although I am young and have little qualifications, I am just a Zuo Siye, doing odd jobs.
Unclear official!
Cao Duo raised his hand to Pan Yi without hesitation while thinking about it.
Fourteen votes, everyone expected it.
"Well, the personnel arrangements have been agreed upon, and then there are some important matters of state affairs. It is difficult for the Minister of Finance to make arbitrary decisions. Let's take it to the cabinet and let everyone discuss it."
When Cao Duo heard this, he was actually a little nervous. He knew that the important matter concerning him was finally on the agenda.
