Chapter 134 Educational Reform (2)
I?
Zhu Yunwen was silent.
He didn't know what to say.
He didn't know if he could explain it.
But he knew that he couldn't say anything, he couldn't say anything.
But still have to say something.
......
"Queen Mother,"
Zhu Yunjiao walked back to his seat and said with a somewhat heavy expression: "When my father died young, the imperial grandfather made me a prince, and then the blue jade case occurred, and the Chinese military generals were swept away. ”
"At that time, the imperial grandfather was in extreme hesitation, he was worried that I would not be able to hold the country, and at the same time he was worried that my uncles would not die well, so I acted very carefully, not only to secretly accumulate strength in case I could suppress the kings in the future, but at the same time to avoid arousing the suspicion of the imperial grandfather as much as possible; In addition, you have to endure the domineering of your uncles, and try to create a situation of harmony and happiness with the kings. ”
"Of course, on the whole, the imperial grandfather is still towards me, but he still wants me to promise that as long as the kings do not rebel, they will be guaranteed their glory and wealth, and I agreed."
"During the first two years of my reign as the prince, I often couldn't sleep at night, and I was plagued by nightmares in the middle of the night, and I dreamed countless times that the king of Yan led his army south, and the armies in the north of the river were defeated or surrendered, and finally the Yan army crossed the river and occupied the capital division, and I had to burn down the palace city, flee in a hurry, and since then I have wandered the rivers and lakes, hiding and hiding ......."
"Since then, I have made up my mind that I will never let my descendants face this situation, so I want to build an iron bucket of Daming, and at the same time, I must also cultivate a qualified heir."
Looking at her son who was full of excitement and generous speech, the Queen Mother Lu was a little surprised, she didn't expect her son to say such a thing, she took her son's hand and said with some emotion: "Yun Wei, you had such a hard time at the beginning, is it true?" Why don't you talk to your mother? ”
Speaking of this, Lu Shi raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was a little whimpering.
"Alas!"
Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly, then raised his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all over, mother." ”
"But it's also a good thing, with those years of training, I can do things more easily, but-"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen paused for a moment before saying: "It's just that this situation is very dangerous, if it is not done properly, the society will be overturned, and at that time, even if the country still belongs to Zhu, but our royal family, I am afraid that we will be completely killed." ”
"Not everybody can get through this ordeal and grow up."
"So I must strengthen the education of the crown prince."
Lu Shi was shocked by what Zhu Yunwen said, and couldn't help leaning forward, and said with a little panic: "Yunwen, is it that serious?" Isn't that an exaggeration? ”
"I am not exaggerating at all, although the biggest crisis in the Ming Dynasty has passed, but in the future, there will be an even greater crisis, that is, the life and well-being of people from all walks of life in China."
Zhu Yunwen waved his right hand and said loudly: "The so-called no agriculture, no stability, no work, no strength, no business, no wealth, no soldiers, if the Ming Dynasty wants to prosper, these five are indispensable!" ”
"Nowadays, the prince and even the scholars of the Ming Dynasty attach too much importance to the classic documents of Confucianism, and know very little about agriculture, industrial technology, commerce and trade, and military affairs.
"So I must change this, and the first thing to change is the prince himself, and the first thing to adjust is the officials of the Zhan Mansion, Fang Xiaoru, who bear the brunt!"
"This is also the main reason why I want to denigrate Fang Xiaoru, the professors of the College of Agriculture and the College of Engineering are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, but they are despised by the scholars represented by Fang Xiaoru, and they themselves are often ashamed of themselves and dare not argue, in the long run, the situation I have painstakingly created will no longer exist."
"In addition, even a military general like Li Guogong was suppressed by Fang Xiaoru and did not dare to speak, which shocked me very much, so this situation must be reversed."
"I don't deny Fang Xiaoru's talent, but he has now become a roadblock, so he must move away, I have already decided!"
Listening to her son's categorical voice, the Queen Mother knew that things could not change, but she still couldn't bear to say: "Fang Xiaoru is a great Confucian Wenzong after all, he is far away from Haidong, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the food style and drink are dewed, once there is a headache and brain fever, there is an accident, there is a good one, and the mourning family thinks it is really a pity." ”
"It's okay, I have already asked the local officials to take good care of him, and he is an official in a different place, not really derogatory exile, there will be no major problems, Queen Mother, you can rest assured!"
"Okay, the mourning family is just a little worried, Mr. Song, the teacher of Mr. Fang in the past, died on the way to exile, your father was very sad after hearing it, but only after returning to the dormitory at night did he dare to cry secretly, and he didn't dare to show it on the bright side, the mourning family remembered, since then, your father has been estranged from Emperor Taizu, and the two of them are mostly the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, and the relationship between father and son is much weaker, much!"
"The mourning family doesn't want today's Kui'er to be like his grandfather, and they don't want you to be like your grandfather, emperor, do you understand?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "There is still such a thing?" Why didn't I know at all? ”
"You were still young at the time, and Emperor Taizu was still here, who dared to talk nonsense? When you ascend the throne, this is already a matter of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, there is no talk, and naturally no one will come to talk to you! ”
"Oh!"
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I understand what my mother meant, I will pay attention." ”
"In this way, the mourning family will be relieved!"
The Queen Mother also nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
......
"Call Xie Jin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Coming out of Cining Palace, Zhu Yunwen walked around the imperial garden for a while before returning to Qianqing Palace, took a nap, and when he got up and was washing, he ordered Xie Jin to come over.
After a short time, Xie Jin ran over quickly, and after giving a salute, Zhu Yunwen asked him to sit down.
"Da Shen, aren't you in a good mood lately?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is fine."
"Hehe, I know, you have some grievances in your heart, Shiqi, Mian Ren, and Jingzhi are not as qualified as you, but Shiqi became a secretary of the ministry, and Jingzhi released the political envoy of Zhejiang, Mian Ren went to Haidong once, and when he came back, he became a soldier in the military department, are you a little hot?"
Hearing the emperor's bland words, Xie Jin's body trembled, knelt on the ground, and trembled: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is guilty!" ”
"Alas! Get up! ”
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, and finally spoke.
"The minister is guilty! The minister is guilty! ”
Xie Jin kowtowed again and again.
"It's okay, I don't mean to blame you, you get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Jin got up tremblingly, sat tremblingly on the pier, and did not dare to wipe the blood on his forehead.
Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, a little unbearable, and asked him to bandage him, Xie Jin thanked him again and again.
......
"Da Shen, over the years, I have always had plans to release you, but I haven't made the trip, do you know why?"
"I know, the ministers are weak and overwhelmed."
"No, you are famous, you are good at home, and you have the courage to do things, and you are the best choice for a good minister; But you also have the greatest weakness, you are proud of your talents, you have no eyes to spare, you are good at people, and you are not careful enough to act, which is the way to take trouble. ”
"Over the years, there have been many people who slandered you and attacked you, so I have been pressing you, just hoping that the monarch and the ministers can start and finish well."
"But now, I can't press it down anymore, the secretariat is a place to raise talents, after I train them, they will be released one by one, Da Shen, you are the oldest, so I won't keep you!"
"No, Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to serve His Majesty for the rest of his life, and will never seek to be released, and I hope Your Majesty will have mercy!"
After listening to the emperor's words, although Xie Jin was a little unconvinced, he was still very moved, and couldn't help but turn over and kneel, crying, and refusing to be released.
"Hehe, you get up, the wound that has just been bandaged, don't tear it anymore!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled, waved his hand to let him get up, waited for him to sit down, and said, "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say much!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I want to set up a Ministry of Culture and Education, you come to be a scholar, and the title is from the second grade, are you willing?"
"The minister is willing!"
Xie Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.
"Very good, the Ministry of Culture and Education is mainly responsible for the school's tribute, which used to be handled by the Ministry of Rites, but now all of them are under the Ministry of Culture and Education."
"However, you have to remember that I have established this department, and naturally there are new initiatives."
"The first thing you have to do as a scholar is to compile the national textbooks, which are divided into three levels: primary school, middle school, and university, for use by county schools, government schools, and Beijing Normal University, and the subjects are roughly eight kinds of classics, history, mathematics, physics, law, architecture, agriculture, and engineering, of course, if I have something missing, you can also add it."
"By the way, there's also politics."
"Politics?"
"Yes, this is for the crown prince, I hope that through this book, he can understand the evolution of the imperial court system in the past dynasties, and the reasons behind it, and at the same time have a basic understanding of the institutions and governments at all levels of my Ming Dynasty."
"Oh, I see!"
"But this book, don't spread it!"
"Obey."
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Among these subjects, the ministers are still proficient in economics and history and law, but they are not much involved in mathematics, housework, architecture, agriculture, etc."
"It's okay, I give you permission to recruit well-educated people in relevant subjects across the country, including experts and professors from engineering colleges and agricultural colleges."
"Okay, there's no problem with that!"
"Very good, Huang Zicheng will come over in a while, you can communicate, and it will officially start tomorrow."
"Yes!"
"I also have one more request, the prince's textbooks should come out as soon as possible, I will only give you three months, as for the general textbooks, I will give you half a year."
"At the end of this year, I want to tell the world that the imperial examination should increase the number of subjects, pay attention to practice, and at the same time, those who go to all levels of departments to observe the government, raise people, and even show off their talents must take professional examinations."
"For these exams, you also have to communicate with the various departments and introduce corresponding policies and rules as soon as possible! Do you remember clearly? ”
"Remember clearly, Your Majesty, the Minister's Decree!"
Xie Jin stood up and replied loudly, with a smile on his face.
