Chapter 622: Bloodshed in the Academy of Catching Fire, Destiny is Mine (3)
The emperor was on the high platform, full of energy and majesty.
Under the dark crowd, a large group of Qingjin scholars knelt on the ground, and the sound of shouting "Long Live the Mountain" shook the entire south of Yanjing City where the academy is located.
The smile on Wang Lin's face grew stronger.
Basically, his purpose of coming to Yanjing Academy today has been achieved.
This move can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
First, to counteract the negative impact and intangible impact of the so-called proclamation on Shilin society.
Second, the status of scholars should be further improved to restrain and balance the increasingly powerful Wu Xun Group, to avoid a dominating group, and to avoid the situation of Wu Xun suppressing the literary power.
Third, he took the opportunity to promote the reform of the education system and social class, laying an important foreshadowing for his drastic reforms in the future that no one was aware of.
As we all know, the reason why aristocratic families have become aristocratic families and have been passed down for hundreds of years is mainly because the aristocratic families control the right to spread culture.
There were few scholars, and most of them were concentrated in the large class of gentry.
It is almost impossible for poor people to study and get promoted.
Not only is the cost of studying expensive and the lower class people cannot afford it, but the channels for studying are all controlled by aristocratic families.
If Wang Lin publicly declared that he wanted to eliminate illiteracy in Dayan, popularize literacy and reading, and destroy the cultural inheritance system controlled by the gentry, it would definitely cause an uproar and strong opposition.
However, in the name of seeking benefits and creating a way out for the fallen scholars, Wang Lin will not arouse any opposition from the gentry, but will instead be applauded.
In the next step, academies and various specialized schools will be established in various parts of Dayan. Once the education system is formed, no one can stop it.
The spread of culture and the progress of civilization are the general trend of the times. Those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish.
A large number of poor children enter public schools and do not seek imperial examinations to be promoted to officials, but at least they can read and write... This is Wang Lin's purpose, to improve the quality of the whole people.
This is something that will benefit the present generation for generations to come.
But Wang Lin promoted it in a very subtle way.
Wang Lin's preliminary plan is to establish government-run institutions in various parts of Dayan similar to the scale and level of primary schools in modern society, with the mission of popularizing culture among the people. Wang Lin plans to build 100 such primary schools for pilot purposes and slowly advance them.
.
Anyway, this shouldn't be rushed.
I thought that Wang Lin had left a long time ago and never had the chance to push forward. Now he took advantage of the situation and did it without anyone noticing.
The more Wang Lin thought about it, the happier his heart became, and the smile on his face became stronger.
…
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Lin stood on the high platform and suddenly waved to Zhao Fujin and Chongde.
Zhao Fujin was startled, and Shangguan Qing came over and lowered his voice: "Two ladies, Your Majesty invites the two ladies to come on stage together. He has something to say."
Zhao Fujin and Chongde looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the emperor wanted. This was the first time for the two of them to appear on stage in front of so many scholars and be exposed to the world.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Fujin and Chongde walked onto the stage hand in hand, gritting their teeth.
The two of them are beautiful in appearance and noble in bearing. They are wearing the same light blue palace skirt. When they first appear in the eyes of the scholars present, they are extremely beautiful.
The place suddenly fell silent, and a group of scholars looked at the two women with bright eyes.
It was the first time for the two women to face such a situation. For a moment, they were a little at a loss. Not to mention, they were a little nervous. The key was that there were too many people down there, tens of thousands.
Being stared at by ten thousand pairs of eyes makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Lin smiled and stretched out his hands.
Zhao Fujin and Chongde knew what the emperor meant, their pretty faces turned red, but they still stepped forward and stood on either side of the emperor, allowing the emperor to hold his little hand.
The emperor loudly said: "Everyone, the person on the left is Zhao Fujin, the former Emperor Maode of the Song Dynasty, and the person on the right is Zhao Yulan, the Emperor Chongde. They are now my beloved concubines. Do you know?"
The scholars below the stage were slightly stunned, and then they all bowed to greet him in a commotion, turning into a mess.
More people didn't understand that it was really shocking for the emperor to suddenly let the princess of the former Song Dynasty, his concubine, appear in front of the public.
"I know that there are some people who are criticizing me behind my back, and even slandering my reputation and ruining the reputation of my beloved concubine. Therefore, today I simply take them out of the palace to meet the scholars of the world. I am honest with them, and
Why fear what others say?
I and Fu Jin met in times of adversity. At that time, the former Song Dynasty King Yun Zhao Kai forced the palace to rebel. King Yun led thousands of troops to surround the palace, and his life was in danger. It was me who, regardless of life and death, led 500 warriors to sneak into the palace to save the Song Emperor.
Hang upside down!
Later, it was I who mobilized troops to quell the rebellion and annihilated King Yun's rebels in front of the palace gate.
Before that, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other six Tokyo thieves rebelled. It was me who led the Qingzhou Army for more than a dozen days and nights, marching thousands of miles, dispatching troops into the city, and saving the country of the Song Dynasty from being destroyed!
I led five thousand soldiers and horses into Tokyo, killed Cai Jing and other six thieves in front of the palace gate, and saved the former Song Dynasty before it was destroyed.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was grateful for my many efforts in rescuing the emperor and my courageous heart, so he betrothed Emperor Maode to me as his equal wife."
When Wang Lin said this, he paused slightly.
The scholars present were silent.
In fact, what Wang Lin said are facts that the government and the public are well aware of.
It was just that the emperor said it again on the table, which suddenly made many people wake up. Without Wang Lin, Song Emperor Zhao Ji would have been wiped out long ago.
"The above is something that everyone in the government and the public knows, but what many people don't know is that a year later, Prince Zhao Huan once again forced the palace to rebel, intending to kill the king and his father. It was me who once again saved the Song Emperor before he was about to die!
What I am saying to you now is not to express my contribution to the former Song Dynasty, but to say that without me, the Emperor of Song Dynasty would have long ceased to exist, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the former Song Dynasty would not have known whose surname it was for a long time. At this moment, there are still
Some people slander and slander me, saying that I deliberately took over the former Song Dynasty, and that I have a traitor in my head. This is simply ridiculous!
If I had the intention to usurp the throne, how could Zhao Ji be alive? And except for me, who among the kings of the past dynasties could tolerate a previous emperor wandering around under his nose?
As for Chongde, the Xixia people threatened the Song Emperor and asked the Song Dynasty to send their princess to marry him, and to pay tribute to Xixia. However, the Song Emperor was ready to accept such humiliation. Not only that, he also used Chongde as a marriage treaty and ordered me to marry the emperor.
The special envoy of the marriage, the guardian of Emperor Chongde's marriage to Xixia!
However, the Li family of Xixia is so ambitious that it is false to want to marry the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but it is true to invade our land of Ganlong. If I had seen through the trick of the Xixia people, Emperor Chongde would have died in the Xixia desert that day!
It was still me who led the army to fight to the death with the Xixia army of 100,000 people. With a small number, I defeated the large number. With a small number of enemies, I won a series of great victories!
I also ordered the Jinyi Guards to raid the Xixia Royal City, destroy the Li family of the Xixia royal family, and incorporate the entire Xixia into the territory of my Central Plains Dynasty!
Therefore, Chongde and I are in love with each other in times of crisis. I ask myself, I have never failed her, nor have I failed the Zhao and Song royal family!"
When Wang Lin said this, Zhao Fujin and Chongde were so excited that they burst into tears.
