Chapter 80: Providence is Indisobedient
Pei Min looked at Cui Xuan, Lu Wei, Zheng Qian, and Li Zai casually.
His two requests were not difficult at all, but they were very simple, but they made Cui Xuan, Lu Wei, Zheng Qian, and Li Zai ponder for a long time, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
The school is their base for training talents, and it is their foundation.
Reducing the number of sect schools and transferring the outstanding teachers in the clan to the public schools to impart knowledge to the children of the poor families is equivalent to using their own few resources to support the enemy.
Now they can no longer be a cultural dictatorship, and teachers are the biggest advantage.
Once you weaken your own faculty, there will be all kinds of drawbacks.
The four of them didn't let Pei Min wait long.
The youngest Lu Wei is also the most courageous, and said loudly: "As the people of the Tang Dynasty, even if we don't have the food of the king, because of the country's service, we share worries for the king." I, the Lu family, am willing to obey the arrangements of the state and do my best to cooperate with the policies of the imperial court. ”
Cui Xuan, Zheng Qian, and Li Zai heard that Lu Wei should come down, and they also knew that the situation should not be refused, not to mention that there is still a lot of room for manipulation, which seems to be a crisis, but it is acceptable.
Thinking of this, the remaining three also agreed.
Pei Min said with a smile: "I will enter the palace in the afternoon to explore, whether it will succeed or not, I dare not guarantee, I can only say that I will do my best." ”
"So thank you!" Cui Xuan, Zheng Qian, Li Zai, and Lu Wei were overjoyed when they heard the words and bowed cautiously.
The four of them did not stay for long, and left one after another.
But the Cudi stayed.
Pei Min removed the tea of the five people, asked people to send the tea given to him by He Zhizhang, and said, "I have the Yunnan tea sent from Bashu here, which was given to me by my brother He." He is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he often interacts with officials from all over the world, and he has a lot of gifts, but he is not willing to take them out just now. Old lady, you can have a good taste......"
Mrs. Huayang's Kudi sighed angrily: "Why does the imperial court want to kill us all, besides, you really naively think that Cui Xuan, Lu Wei, Zheng Qian, and Li Zai are easy to deal with?" Today they are respectfully bowing before you because they have something to ask for. As long as this matter is over, even if they don't dare to confront you openly and contradict you, they will comply with all your requests. But secretly let those classroom gentlemen, Yang Feng Yin disobey, only take the money and don't do anything, what can you do? ”
Pei Min looked at Mrs. Huayang, sighed in a low voice and said, "Old lady, do they really think I can't see it?" It's just that I don't care about the details, and I don't want to bother with them. I know your good intentions for the Pei family, here is a word you don't want to hear, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, in the face of the general trend, anyone's resistance is a joke, it is useless, it is better to let go. ”
"I know they're not that easy to compromise, and I have a good plan, he's got a wall ladder. But after all, it can't be changed. That is, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, this unjust karma is with you, and there will be a day when the debt will be repaid. The family has fallen and is coming to an end. Not to mention the unknown people such as Cui Xuan, Zheng Qian, Li Zai, and Lu Wei, even if Xie An and Wang Dao, the leaders of these gate valves are reborn, they can't change the situation. ”
Pei Min's words were categorical: "In front of your old man, I am not afraid to say a big rebellious word." The current family is like the general trend of the world. The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. No dynasty can be an exception, this is true of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the same is true of my Tang Dynasty in the future. Therefore, it is actually the most stupid for you to regard the court as a fierce enemy, and your enemy is not the court, but the general trend. If you look at all this rationally and follow the court, you may be able to maintain a little longer. Blindly seeking to regain its former glory will be like a moth to a fire, and it will eventually kill itself. ”
At the end, Pei Min looked at Kudi with a serious tone and said: "It is not the imperial court or me Pei Min who wants to destroy your family, but this day!" ”
He pointed to the sky and said, "What I have done today is just to pave the way for the general trend......
Kudi laughed and said: "Guogong's words are thought-provoking, and the old students should think about it." ”
Kudi said this, but in his heart the boss didn't think so.
I feel that Pei Min is a little alarmist, no matter how lonely the gate valve family is, it also has a certain background.
From the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, the world has changed batch after batch, and the emperor has taken his turn over and over again, but their family is still the same.
Even if you meet a ruthless emperor like Wu Zetian and survive it, what hardship can't you get through?
Pei Min didn't care whether Kudi really listened to it or faked it, anyway, he said all he said.
The times are advancing, and anything that violates the truth and hinders progress will be eliminated.
Even if there is no Pei Min in history, a hundred years later, there will be the most famous Niu Li party dispute.
The Niu Dang of the Hanmen Shu clan, which represented the Jin Shi origin, defeated the Shi clan, which represented the Shi clan of Shandong since the Northern Dynasties, thus announcing the decline of the Shi clan.
Pei Min found that because of his appearance, the imperial court paid more attention to the imperial examination, which further presented the situation of taking scholars regardless of family background and marriage without asking about the door valve, which accelerated the pace of the demise of the scholar clan.
In the current situation, the decline of the nobles will be further advanced.
There was no chance at first, but now that the family has sent it to the door, Pei Min has also paved the way for the future.
I also hope that when the family declines, it will be able to stop in time.
lest a party struggle that lasted for nearly forty years be used to declare the end of the family, as in history.
After all, Niu Li's party struggle is self-internal friction, and it is not worth showing off.
What is lost is the interests of Datang, and being able to spend it peacefully is the real good thing.
The two no longer discussed the matter.
After today's incident, Pei Min also clearly understands the cruelty in the political field.
Although he was not depleted this time, it was enough to sound a wake-up call.
Kudi's ideological strategy in politics is outstanding, not inferior to Shangguan Wan'er back then, or even more so.
After all, she is alive and well now, and the inner minister, the corpse has turned into white bones.
Pei Min has the intelligence and intelligence of two lives, and he can deal with the entanglement of interests in the political field, which is really not as old as the Kudi family.
Most of the reasons why he has been able to get along to this day is because he has gained Li Longji's respect and trust, rather than climbing up step by step in the stormy political arena.
Here is also a devout consultation with the Kudi.
Although the Kudi clan disagreed with Pei Min because of the family's affairs, they were able to distinguish priorities.
Pei Min's existence has more advantages than disadvantages for the Pei family, and he is also patient to teach him his experience in the political field.
Kudi also made an analysis of the current situation, and also gave Pei Min a piece of advice: "Your Majesty is the most selfish, no matter when and where, the prince should remember one thing, and never ask about his family affairs. Even if you don't agree with what he does, you can't openly oppose yourself. Please also keep this point in mind. ”
Pei Min nodded solemnly and said, "Keep it in mind." ”
