Chapter 346: Li Chengqian's Public Counterattack
When Li Chengqian's car came to Guozijian, Guozijian Liquor Linghu Dedi did not come out to greet him in person, but Xie Zhou, the secretary of Guozijian, came to lead thousands of students from Guozijian, Taixue, Simenxue, and several official schools in Chang'an that recruited the children of commoners to come out to greet him.
In the Tang Dynasty, Guozijian was both a school and an educational management institution, and in addition to Guozijian, Guozijian was also in charge of Taixue, Simenxue and other schools.
When Li Chengqian left the Royal Military and Political Academy, he ordered someone to pass the order quickly, and the students of several schools gathered to come to the country.
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Chengqian stood in the car and looked at the people below seriously, and only after a while did he signal Liu Kui to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Kui pulled his throat and said loudly: "Flat!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
Everyone straightened up and looked up at Li Chengqian.
"Why didn't the prince come out to see the lonely king?" Li Chengqian looked at Xie Zhou seriously.
Xie Zhou asked calmly: "Lord Saijiu drove to the north, and when he returned to Chang'an, he fell ill, and he has not come to Guozijian these days. ”
Li Chengqian said expressionlessly when he heard this: "How can a high-ranking official from the third grade who is in charge of the six schools of the imperial court not be able to serve for a long time, it is the so-called ten years of trees and a hundred years of people." These students are all talents cultivated by the imperial court, and they are not mistaken because of Linghu Dechen.
Someone came to spread the will of the lonely king, and the son of the country was the priest of the wine order Hu Dedi, who was mediocre and old, and his body was dying, and he could not be a director, and he was now removed from the post of the son of the country.
The scholar of Chongjiao Hall University, Yan Shi, is knowledgeable, loyal to the imperial court, and is still from a famous family. ”
When the officials and students of Guozijian saw that Li Chengqian had changed the sacrificial wine of Guozijian lightly, they were all shocked and put away their contempt for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian turned around and walked into the carriage, and the car continued to walk towards Guozijian.
The people of Guozijian let them bow to Li Chengqian's car on the side of the road and salute.
After Li Chengqian's guard of honor all walked into the gate of Guozijian, Xie Zhoucai raised his forehead to wipe the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly followed.
Li Chengqian's car drove directly to the front of the Guozijian Confucian Temple, and when Li Chengqian got out of the car, Wang Fangyi had already commanded the crown prince's guard of honor to be set aside, and there was no shortage of Huangluo umbrellas, feather fans, screens, and all kinds of dragon flags.
Standing below were the officials of the Guozijian and the students of each school, standing solemnly in front of the solemn and luxurious ceremonial staff.
Li Chengqian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked to the throne step by step with a cane and sat down.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xie Zhou once again led the audience to salute Li Cheng.
In Li Chengqian's ears, this time was much more attentive than the one just now, so he didn't embarrass them anymore, and directly ordered Liu Kui to announce his death.
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian, this is not like the people from the Royal Military and Political Academy, many of them are the children of officials who know a little bit about the government, so they all want to know what Li Chengqian wants to do when he comes to Guozijian at this time.
It won't be as simple as changing to a country to oversee the wine.
Li Chengqian didn't let them wait too long, and directly got up and walked a few steps forward, and several attendants in the audience hurriedly took a few steps forward when they saw this, and they were ready to convey Li Chengqian's speech later.
Li Chengqian saw that the inner servants were all in place, so he spoke directly: "Indoctrination is an important government affairs of the imperial court, and since the lonely king has been in charge of the country, I want to come to the country to see how the students here are learning."
The two Majesties are getting better, so King Gu came out early this morning, and first went to see the Tang Royal Military and Political Academy, where the students are full of energy and spirit, and they want to make progress every day, and serve the court when they succeed in their studies......"
When Li Chengqian said this, Liu Kui hurriedly waved his hand to signal to stop, and then realized that he should let the attendant in front of him repeat it loudly.
He hurriedly stopped and Liu Kui repeated it in his throat first, and then heard several attendants standing there repeat loudly before continuing.
Li Chengqian's seemingly useless words caused quite a stir in the hearts of thousands of people below. Now the reason why these families dare to face Li Chengqian head-on is because Li Shimin is seriously ill.
If Li Shimin is well now, the future of those who stand up against Li Chengqian will be bleak, and Li Shimin will definitely not let them go for the sake of the Tang Dynasty.
"The school system originated from the Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was strong and prosperous in the school. King Ping moved east and Wang Xue was abolished, learning was in Zhuhou, Zhuhou was prosperous, and the royal family declined. Later, public schools were abolished, private schools were prosperous, etiquette collapsed, and the world was divided. Qin Wu School takes officials as teachers...... After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the public school was destroyed, and the scholars and officials were all based on the ancestral genealogy of the lineage, resulting in the "work if you don't fall on the car, and the secretary in the body is like that" in the Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years, the king is not a king, not a minister, not a minister, and the people are worried.
Today, in addition to the school, there are more examinations to select talents, and the talents of heaven are used by the imperial court to ensure that I am the Tang Dynasty, and the country and the people are eternal. ”
Li Chengqian's remarks in this paragraph were full of voices, and he talked about the role of government-run schools from a historical point of view, as well as the disadvantages of selecting officials directly from the scholars.
Not long after this period of history, many officials and students are still very familiar with it, so Li Chengqian's words have once again caused quite a stir below.
Li Chengqian took this opportunity to take a sip of tea, and after a while, he waited for the next discussion to stop for a while, and then raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
After everyone quieted down, Li Chengqian opened his mouth again and said very solemnly to the thousands of people below: "It is a very rare opportunity for you to study here in peace and stability, if you don't study hard to serve the court, you will be sinners." ”
In ancient China, the scholars of official schools were supported by the imperial court and the whole society, so Li Chengqian did not say this excessively.
"To learn your skills well, you must participate in the imperial examination of the imperial court, and you must write your true skills, and the court will be able to award officials because of your talents.
A few days ago, King Lone dismissed more than 100 children of the scholar clan who were not virtuous and talented but were in high positions, and now there are still people making a fuss in front of the two councils, wanting King Lone to return the official position to them.
This is impossible, and the official position of the imperial court is only awarded to people of equal virtue and ability.
Many of the people who were dismissed by the Lone King took the exam in the East Palace last year, and the articles were written in a mess, and the Lone King also brought their papers for the day, so that you can also see if they are worthy of being officials?
King Gu advised them to go home as soon as possible and study hard, strive to participate in the imperial court scientific examination, and stop throwing his ancestors' people everywhere. ”
Li Chengqian's words were quite harsh at the time, and even some people of the same clan as the dismissed officials thought that Li Chengqian's move was very vicious.
But Li Chengqian ignored these and directly released the last bombshell.
"Finally, in the future, the Imperial Court Officials will be selected once a year, starting from this autumn, so in a few days the Imperial Examination will be presided over by the Ministry of Rites, if you are confident in your knowledge, then go to the Ministry of Rites to register for the exam."
……
……
Li Chengqian stayed in Guozijian for less than two hours, but the blow to the opposing scholars was very fatal.
People who haven't made a move yet are wondering what happened to Li Shimin's illness now?
So many people wanted to learn about Li Shimin's condition through various channels, but the old ghost blocked him back.
As soon as dozens of handwritten test papers were put away, the dismissed scholars immediately provoked a frenzied attack from the students.
Originally, the literati were light, not to mention that those scholars had no talent and no virtue, which was simply unbearable for those who wanted to learn from their talents.
Another is the thousands of tangled things, do you want to participate in the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites?
Of course, since Li Chengqian was going to make a move, he would not stop there, and he immediately went straight to Longshouyuan, where he was prepared to win or lose.
