Chapter 57 The Cabinet of the Son of Heaven, Reform Teaching!
Soon, Xiao He was dressed in white and walked in with light steps.
"Xiao He sees Your Majesty. ”
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
In the center of the main hall, Xiao He knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully.
"Xiao Aiqing, let's get even!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Xiao He stood up, Zhu Qiying's gaze swept to the ministers again, and he said loudly: "I have decided to establish a cabinet of the Son of Heaven in the Wenhua Hall to assist me in handling political affairs. ”
"In the future, all the excerpts sent by the six ministries and nine secretaries will first be handed over to the Cabinet of the Son of Heaven for annotation, disclosure, rectification, and identification, and finally handed over to me for review!"
"And Xiao Aiqing will be appointed as the first first assistant of the Cabinet of the Son of Heaven, and the post of a scholar of the Gawen Huadian University!"
"In addition, I also plan to merge all the top ten in this scientific examination to the cabinet of the Son of Heaven, do some copywriting work, and temper them well, so that these pillars of the country can integrate into the court situation faster. ”
"What do you think, Aiqing?"
Zhu Qiying's eyes were bright and she said slowly.
To put it bluntly, the Cabinet of the Son of Heaven is the prototype of the Cabinet, which is equivalent to the secretary meeting in the previous life, although it has no real power, it is also indispensable for an organization.
The reason why Zhu Qiying did not directly establish the inner one is because there are too few high-level officials in the imperial court now, and the six ministries and nine secretaries all have their own positions, and King Wu'an is also running around and has no time at all.
His idea is to wait for Xiao He to train all the top students in this year's scientific examination, and he is slowly delegating power, and he is not in a hurry.
On the main hall.
The expressions of the hundred officials kept changing, looking at each other one by one, and then they all looked at Xiao He in surprise.
Zhu Qiying said that the cabinet of the Son of Heaven, they naturally know very well that this is a staff in disguise, sharing worries for His Majesty, and has no substantive rights, and the final decision is still in the hands of His Majesty.
Regarding the establishment of this cabinet, the officials have no opinion.
What they were surprised about was where this Xiao He came from, there didn't seem to be this person in the Ming Dynasty!
As soon as he came up, he was canonized by His Majesty as the first assistant of the Cabinet of the Son of Heaven, plus the position of a scholar of the Mandarin Palace, which is simply a step to the sky.
The scholar of Wenhuadian is a real product, higher than the position of the six Shangshu, and its power is also very large, ruling over hundreds of officials, assisting the emperor in managing government affairs, and his authority is second only to the prime minister of a dynasty.
But what qualifications does this young man in white have, as soon as he appears, he is higher than the position that others have struggled for all their lives.
The civil and military officials had some resentment in their hearts.
After a long silence, someone finally stepped forward.
It was Yu Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who walked to the center of the hall with a solemn face, looked at Zhu Qiying respectfully, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, establish the cabinet of the Son of Heaven, Weichen has no opinion, but this Wenhua Palace scholar is a bit high!"
When Zhu Qiying heard this, he chuckled, he had already guessed that someone would stand up and propose this position.
In the eyes of hundreds of officials, Xiao He is nameless and substantial, and as soon as he comes up, he will be promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and he will definitely have objections.
But Xiao He's ability, Zhu Qiying naturally knows very well that the characters summoned by him are Chinese historical celebrities, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
His face changed slightly, and Zhu Qiying replied loudly: "I believe that Xiao He's ability will not be worse than any of you, I give him this position, he will naturally have this strength, you just have to wait and see." ”
"Okay, this matter has been decided, Yu Aiqing, you should step back first. ”
Seeing that Zhu Qiying had already said this, Yu Yi sighed helplessly and had no choice but to retreat.
"If you Aiqing have nothing else to do, then retreat!"
After speaking, Zhu Qiying stood up and left the dragon chair.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
........................
After the next dynasty, Zhu Qiying returned to the Qianqing Palace.
"Call Xu Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to me!"
Zhu Qiying ordered to the eunuch beside him as she walked.
"Honor!"
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately ran out and summoned him.
Almost half an hour later, Xu Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
"Weichen see Your Majesty!"
"Aiqing is exempt!"
On the throne, Zhu Qiying waved her hand, looked at Xu Gong with deep eyes, and slowly said, "Xu Aiqing doesn't know if you have any opinions on my current teaching methods!"
"Teaching methods?"
Xu Gong's expression froze, and he looked at Zhu Qiying in surprise, a little unclear.
Zhu Qiying smiled, crossed his hands on the dragon case, and explained: "There are no more than three teaching methods in the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou now, and I am the same. ”
"First, the children of rich families hire their own teachers and teach at home!"
Second, localities, villages, and clans donated money, learned fields, and hired teachers to set up private schools to teach poor children. ”
"Thirdly, the teacher set up a private library to teach students and apprentices for a fee. ”
"And what the above three are taught and learned, nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucianism, there is no novelty, boring, Xu Aiqing doesn't feel a little conformist?"
Xu Gong's eyebrows tightened, and he looked at Zhu Qiying with strange eyes and replied: "The Nine Kingdoms of the Shenzhou Continent have been teaching like this for more than a thousand years, and Weichen doesn't think there's anything wrong?"
"What does Your Majesty mean how should we teach?"
"I think that since it is teaching, there should be no class of teaching!"
Zhu Qiying continued with an expressionless face: "Could it be that students in the world can only govern the country well by learning the laws of Confucianism?"
"I think it's okay to do the same with other sideways, teaching should be the best of the expo, each with its own meaning, and a single teaching is too old-fashioned and pedantic. ”
"Daming needs talents, all kinds of talents! So I plan to reform the way of education. ”
"Reform?
Xu Gong drowned out a sigh and muttered, his eyes were full of confusion, what Zhu Qiying said was too shocking for him, so that now he couldn't react.
"I plan to establish the Ming National Academy!"
Zhu Qiying's eyes were deep, and he stared at Xu Gong tightly and said: "Starting from the bottom, the imperial court will pay for the establishment of the academy, as long as it is the people of my Ming Dynasty, anyone who reaches a certain age can enter the academy to study." ”
In addition, not only Confucianism, arithmetic, etiquette, vocal music, martial arts, piano arts, etc., as long as they are beneficial to the people, must be included in it, and a hundred schools of thought can achieve a real prosperous era. ”
"But how should this academy be healthy?"
Xu Gong's breathing was short, his heart was constantly shaking, he was not a fool, and his mind was relatively flexible.
Although Zhu Qiying said it was very novel, if it could really be realized, he didn't dare to imagine how brilliant the Ming Dynasty would be when that day came, but one thing was certain, it would definitely be passed down through the ages.
