Zhu Youzhen was a little more formal at this time, he turned out a document from the table in front of him, handed it to Qian Qianyi and said: "Sir, take a look at this, I plan to set up a two-year middle school in Hebei, Beijing, and Tianjin's subordinate prefectures and counties, as a part of the education between primary schools and universities.

The purpose of primary education is to provide students with a good foundation in mathematics, history and language, as well as to develop good habits and become familiar with group life. The purpose of university education is to cultivate students' critical thinking skills and exploration of natural sciences. For the newly established secondary education, I hope to cultivate students' teamwork spirit, receive basic natural science education, and understand what the purpose of their study is.

The official schools run by the imperial court in these areas, that is, county schools, state schools, and government schools, were all converted into middle schools. In addition to continuing to be responsible for the worship of the Confucian Temple and the management of the students, the professors, scholars, and teachers who were in charge of these schools were separated from teaching, and were mainly responsible for the daily management of local primary and secondary schools, and were responsible for the implementation of the relevant educational policies of the imperial court.

I have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare 350,000 yuan for the establishment of secondary schools in various places. In addition, a 150,000 yuan royal education fund will be set up to subsidize outstanding students who cannot afford education but can be admitted to secondary schools and universities. That's what I've called him to do today. ”

With the experience of the past just now, Qian Qianyi thought about the emperor's request for a while, and then cautiously asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, hasn't Li Tianjing always been in charge of education affairs?" In addition, the minister thought that the establishment of a middle school was a good thing, but it seemed that there was no need to abolish the local government schools. Once the word spreads, the minister fears that the students and instructors will resist the establishment of the middle school because of this. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qian Qianyi very seriously and said: "Li Tianjing is indeed in charge of education affairs in the cabinet, but his qualifications are too shallow after all, and he has no prestige in Shilin. Let him be in charge of the affairs of the dismantling of the government and the construction of the middle school, and it is estimated that the students in those states and counties will really rise up to make trouble.

But sir, you are different, you are the leader of my Ming Dynasty's literary world, and the leader of the New Donglin Party, if you come forward to preside over this matter, those young students will probably be afraid to be afraid of three points first, and they will not dare to gather people to make trouble at will. As long as these young students don't get up and make trouble in the first place, won't Mr. be able to deal with these students who are not deeply involved in the world? ”

Hearing the emperor say this about himself, Qian Qianyi could only say a few words with embarrassment. Only then did Zhu Youzhen continue with satisfaction: "Now most of the official schools in various places have been abandoned, and most of the teachers and students in them are mediocre and incompetent.

Among the students of the government school, those who have no talent just want to get a place for a student to evade national taxes and enjoy the privileges of a student; Talented people are willing to hang up the status of a student, but they are not willing to enter the wasted days of government schools, they either hire famous teachers at home or go to private academies to study.

In this way, the significance of the establishment of official schools in the imperial court no longer exists, but has become a place where some local gentry obtain student privileges for their children and steal the power of grassroots management. And those officials who entered the official career with a quota of students did not accept the academic views of the imperial court professors, but the ideas of private academies or some local celebrities.

In order for the reform policy of the imperial court to be sustained for a long time, it is first necessary to have a group of scholars who accept the ideas of reform, and can we expect that those conservative masters who oppose the reform of the imperial court can educate batch after batch of reform supporters? I thought it was unlikely.

Therefore, the official school must be abolished, and only by removing the official school can those young scholars understand that if they want to become officials, they must accept the formal school education of the imperial court, and they can not dream of hiring a famous teacher at home, or learning Bagu Wen in a private academy.

In addition, university education has been going on for almost three years, and the first batch of full-fledged university students is about to graduate. For the first few batches of university graduates, I plan to devote half of them to the cause of secondary education. Hebei, Beijing, and Tianjin were the fundamental places of the imperial court, and only by incorporating the education of these fundamental places into the school education system could the reform of the imperial court be regarded as having a real foundation..."

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he finally understood what Chongzhen wanted. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao deleted "Mencius", and what he did was no different from Chongzhen, it was nothing more than wanting to control the Taoist system in his hands.

It's just that Emperor Taizu Gao is still in circles in Confucian ethics, and now the young emperor is trying to find a new scholarship outside of Confucian ethics to contain those old-fashioned scholars. The emperor's behavior has actually touched the edge of the core values of scholars, and it stands to reason that Qian Qianyi should refuse at this moment.

However, the reform was meant to make the scholars spit out some of the benefits, and Qian Qianyi, who supported the reform, did not feel that the emperor's behavior was excessive. As a person who was commissioned to edit "A Concise History of China", Qian Qianyi is now the person who knows Chongzhen's historical views best.

In the process of constantly speculating on Chongzhen's thoughts, Qian Qianyi actually acquiesced in his heart that today's people must be better than the ancients, and the society is always improving. If it weren't for this understanding, he would not have been able to compile a history book that met the emperor's requirements.

Qian Qianyi, who had just succumbed in front of the emperor once, had a shorter time of inner entanglement at the moment, and before the emperor could say anything, Qian Qianyi agreed again. It's just that he promised to be cheerful in front of the emperor, but after walking out of the palace gate, his feet were a little frivolous.

Unlike Beijing, which is gradually beginning to rejuvenate, the city of Shenyang, which was once vibrant, is now like an old forest that has encountered a cold winter, not only the shops on the street are a little deserted, but even the Jurchens walking on the street are not as leisurely and comfortable as before, just walking briskly with their heads down.

The Houjin Palace, which has been under renovation in the center of the city, has also been suspended for the first time. People who know the inside story say that the two wars with the Ming Dynasty the year before last and last year did not yield anything, and they had to raise so many tribes that had surrendered to the Mongols, and Shenyang's treasury had begun to be empty. The Great Khan had to stop the construction of the palace and put all his resources and manpower into resuming production.

One or two battles yielded nothing, but in fact it was nothing. After the death of the Mandate of Heaven Khan, the Jurchens also knew that the commander who had won all battles was no longer there. Tiancong Khan launched the Battle of Ningjin for the first time after ascending the throne, didn't he hit a wall and returned. Tighten your belts and resume production, and when the time comes, everyone will go to retaliate against Mingguo.

But in this war, the loss of nearly a third of the Yellow Flag Niulu is really a big thing. The Jurchen soldiers at the bottom may still be grieving the losses of this war, but the Baylors and nobles of the various banners are worried about the political struggle in the court brought about by the loss of the yellow flag.

The losses of the Jurchen soldiers on the battlefield were nothing more than a sense of pain and crisis for them. But if there is a mistake in the court line, it will be fatal.

Although the loss of the Yellow Banner did not shake the Great Khan's control over the Eight Banners. But for the first time since the Eight Banners became an army, they must find someone to be responsible, otherwise how can they convince the public. But the leader of the yellow flag was the Khan's only adult eldest son, Hauge.

Think about Guangluo Baylor back then, if Hauge was disposed of, would the families who invested in Hauge really endure it silently? If you don't want to deal with it, just from the Blue Flag Baylor, it is estimated that you can't explain it.

When the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City were privately speculating, on this day, in the Dazheng Palace, Mang Gurtai, who hurried back to Shenyang, finally couldn't help but instruct his cronies to make trouble.

Several Jurchen nobles trembled in the deliberations, demanding that Hauge explain the heavy losses of the Yellow Banner in the battle, and that someone be responsible for the losses of these Yellow Banner soldiers.

Huang Taiji hadn't figured out how to respond, he was thinking about asking Yue Tuo to come out and maneuver for a while, but he saw Dai Shan suddenly speak: "The battle of the Yellow Flag was not fought well, and it is sad to lose so many clansmen. But this is not an excuse for you to wantonly attack Sun Beile, Hauge fought with me that day, trying to rescue those Jurchen soldiers who were besieged by the Ming army, but unfortunately the enemy was outnumbered, and the Ming emperor was on the battlefield in person, so we were finally repelled by the Ming army.

I was in the scene, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with Hauge at the time. I also don't think anyone is responsible for these casualties. If there must be such a person, then they should also go to those Ming soldiers to take revenge, instead of focusing on their own people.

In addition, we have summoned everyone here today to discuss, who should we send to Beijing to negotiate peace with the Ming side's demands? Let's not deviate from the main point of the discussion. ”

Dai Shan's words surprised Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai, who were sitting next to him. Huang Taiji did not understand the brother's intention to defend Hauge, and Mang Gultai was angry, he felt that he had been betrayed by Daishan again.

Out of anger, Mang Gurtai simply went into battle shirtless, he stretched his neck to look at Dai Shan and said: "Can I explain the loss of so many soldiers with yellow flags when I am outnumbered?" Since my father Khan raised his army, we have not outnumbered the officers and troops of the Shangming Kingdom that time?

The total population of my Jurchens is only one million, and the number of adults is only about 200,000. If you are like Haoge, you will lose hundreds of soldiers in a single battle, won't my Jurchens destroy the country and exterminate the species in the future? If we don't punish those who have done wrong, will the soldiers of the Eight Banners still obey military orders in the future..."

The people in the palace originally thought that the defeat of the yellow flag would become an excuse for the blue flag Baylor and the red flag Baylor to join forces to attack the Great Khan. None of them expected the current situation, but everyone quickly reacted.

Since even Dai Shan took the initiative to argue for Hauge, it can be seen that Zhenglanqi Baylor is indeed alone in the court now. So everyone in the hall naturally helped Haoge, and the face of Mang Gurtai was red.

Huang Taiji, who had been sitting still, spoke to reassure everyone: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, this is the rule set by Father Khan when he ruled the army that day.

Hauge is certainly at fault, but I, as a father, are also at fault. So I decided: to punish Hauge with one ox, ten plain pommel horses, five carved pommel horses... I punished myself for carving the pommel horse two, the plain pommel horse five...

Okay, if you have any comments, you can continue to put them forward. If there is no opinion, we will continue to discuss the candidate for the envoy to Beijing..."

After a moment of silence, everyone in the hall nodded in favor of the Great Khan's punishment, and although Mang Gurtai was red-faced, there was nothing he could do about it.
