In the middle of summer, it's very hot. The pro-soldiers on duty inside and outside the Forbidden City, under the bright sword armor, their bodies have long been like washing.

However, Zhao Mingcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Rui, the secretary of the Xuanzheng Department, who were summoned to the palace for an audience, did not have any heat all over their bodies, and the whole person did not sweat, only secretly nervous and worried, and walked into the Xuande Pavilion.

"Minister Zhao Mingcheng/Fan Rui, meet Your Majesty."

Lu Qian raised his eyes and looked at the two people below, and said in a half-loud voice: "Do you two know why I came to you?" ”

did not give a seat at the first time, which already showed Emperor Lu's attitude, his voice was peaceful, but his eyes fell on Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui, but they taught the two of them to have a sense of nothing to hide. It was as if he was standing naked in public, too exposed.

"The ministers have heard of it." Then Chen Qian and Ren Boyu and others were eager to beat the drum, and Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui didn't know.

"Wait." After that, Lu Qian continued to look down at the report of Chen Wenzhao, the first governor of Jiangnan Province.

This Chen Wenzhao is more knowledgeable about current affairs than Zhang Shuye, Lu Qian asked him to serve under Hu Cheng, and then transferred to the capital Yin. This person is an official who is fair and honest, and has the city government, the amount of morality, and knows how to practice things, Lu Qian first promoted him to the Central Plains according to the envoy, and then moved to Huainan Zuobu political envoy, and finally promoted to the governor of Jiangnan Province.

Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui didn't dare to meet a single look, and waited respectfully in the hall, until Chen Qian and Ren Boyu, who had a lot of gray hair and beard, arrived with Fan Zhengping, and Lu Qian raised his head.

Who Chen Qian and Ren Boyu are, have been described above. Fan Zhengping is Fan Chunren's eldest son, and Fan Chunren is Fan Zhongyan's second son. Fan Zhengping is the standard after the famous family. It's a pity that Cai Jing was offended, and he was framed by him for falsely spreading the meaning of the two saints, so that he was detained in Xiangzhou, that is, the Guangxi guests of later generations, and more than ten family members died. The love between him and Zhao Song was wiped out.

Later, Fan Zhengping returned to his hometown and wrote books and biographies, including "Xunli Retreat Edition" and "Song History".

After Lu Qian ascended the throne, he was invited to join the court as an official, and he had no important position, and he taught in Guozijian. Based on the compatibility of nature, not long after he came to Yidu, he had a good relationship with Chen Qiang, Ren Boyu, Chang Anmin, Bi Zhongyou and other 'old friends' on the monument of the former Yuanyou party. It is the backbone of the Sincere Society formed by the latter.

This time, the Zhicheng Society and the new faction represented by Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui exposed the contradictions, and in their opinion, the latter deceived people too much.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the selection of the new edition of the teaching book is flawed, and it cannot be cited as an outline. The two sons of Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui harbor evil intentions and have unpredictable thoughts. Fan Zhengping fired first, which was due to his personality, and secondly, because of the dispute between the concepts of this department. As soon as Emperor Lu's work and deeds came out, they knew that the decline of Zhou Cheng's science was inevitable.

The dispute between the ideas of this Chinese school has always been based on the will of the imperial power. Earlier, science was not designated as an official science, but it was also not suppressed by the imperial court, and was even accepted by the emperor to a certain extent.

If the situation continues like this, it is inevitable that science will flourish in a hundred years.

But the appearance of Emperor Lu interrupted all this. Emperor Renlu not only sang loudly 'the study of merit', but also sneered at the meaning of science, which was in decline, and even like many schools in history, it was inevitable that it would eventually disappear into history.

Chen Qian and Ren Boyu did not have the courage to fight the emperor, but they were not willing to be resigned, what they had to do was to infiltrate the essence of science into the study of merit. It's a huge undertaking, and it will take a long time to completely merge the two, and to be able to overwhelm the study of merit in terms of reason.

This new textbook is a contest between the two, and it can even be said that the old school after the reform launched the first wave of challenges to the new school that easily occupied the commanding heights of the court.

“…… Such vulgar people occupy high positions in the court, stand in the place of national education, and abuse power and cheat......"

Lu Qian had already closed his ears, Fan Zhengping's mouth cannon was not small, but who called Emperor Lu had already made up his mind.

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you must not be emotional, so that the gang is often corrupted. Even if the Secretary of the Propaganda Department is your old confidant, you can't indulge this person who is light and shallow, and harm the society of the country. ”

Lehe retreated to the door of Xuande Pavilion early, bowing his head and saying nothing. I expressed my emotion to Fan Zhengping in my heart, I dare to say anything, I am very powerful!

This is a certain big hat for Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui.

Le Hejiu has been by Lu Qian's side for a long time, how can he not know the weight of these two people? That Zhao Mingcheng was the original Governor of Lu who erected a signboard, but he never thought that this person was intellectual, and he was very kind to Lu Qian. Therefore, in the past few years, it has changed from a signboard to an important minister in the court, even if it is the second-ranked book of the Ministry of Rites among the six, it is also a book. What's more, Zhao Xianggong also married a good wife.

Two years ago, with the financial support of the masters of the harem, a women's school was set up in the city. The inside is full of daughters of powerful ministers, and it is said that soon, the eldest princess will also be sent in.

In a sense, that Mrs. Li is already equivalent to Wang Fu. Otherwise, at four o'clock and eight festivals, how can the nobles in the palace give heavy gifts every time?

And Fan Rui needless to say, that was the old brother of Liangshanbo back then, who had a close relationship with Xue Yong and the Ruan family brothers, and was also one of the saint's henchmen. He is also very close to Gongsun Sheng. It's just that the dragon who entered the cloud has a heart for the Tao, but Fan Rui has already married a wife and had children, and at the beginning of the year, he was named Juancheng Bo, plus the founding of the country.

These are all important ministers in the court. One is a six-part book, and the other is a secretary of Xuanzheng. Fan Zhengping hurts people like this, and in the future, he is not afraid that the Ministry of Rites and the Propaganda Department will join forces to find fault? The latter wants to expand its own influence, and running a newspaper is the first element. Nowadays, the imperial court has gradually liberalized the newspaper bureaucracy, and in addition to the official newspapers, private newspapers have appeared in Yidu, Jinan, Cangzhou and other places.

Now that Fan Zhengping has offended Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui in death, they are not afraid that they will not be able to get a place in the newspaper? It is important to know that the Information Department is a subordinate agency of the Propaganda Department.

Lu Qian looked at Fan Zhengping, who had a bulging of green tendons on his head, and really didn't know whether he was angry or funny, this is a righteous gentleman. Li Ruoshui and Zhao Ding, who were in a room not far away, waved off the attendants who came to report, one looked leisurely, and the other shook his head with a smile.

"Brother Yuanzhen has the wisdom to know people, so I might as well do it." Li Ruoshui smiled easily, he was so worried about Fan Zhengping before, but now he is really worried.

"It's a dumbfounder. Your Majesty is so magnanimous, how can you not tolerate it? "What's more, Fan Zhengping still has a family, and Fan Zhongyan's name is enough to shelter him.

Zhao Ding put down the tea cup in his hand, he had been drinking this tea for a long time, and he felt that it was even more useful. Then he said, "You should know that among the heirs of the old school, there are many who stand in the court. That Chen Zhenghui and Chang Tong did not mention it, Ren Xiangxian and Ren Shenxian were not mediocre talents. But they just launched Fan Zhengping to open fire, and people are not without care. "The battle for learning is never something that can be seen in a moment, and some will tear it up in the future."

"But Your Majesty is a natural hero, and he doesn't like moral preaching, but it is his nature." Everyone can see that Emperor Lu is a person who likes to use his hands more than his mouth. Such a character is naturally repulsed by 'convincing people with reason', just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did to Di Shan. But it is difficult to determine what kind of character the emperor of later generations was. Who wouldn't want to be an emperor? "Now that the new textbook is being compiled, it is rumored to be used for the education of the prince and princess. It must be known that the eldest daughter of the emperor has now reached the age of three, and the admission age of the girls' school run by the Li family is six years old, but this is a virtual age, and the real age is five years old. What's more, the eldest son of the emperor is almost three years old.

There are only two years left. Two years may seem like a long time, but it's actually a short time. Because the new textbook still needs to be tested with practice, and then changes will be made according to the reaction.

Therefore, this is an opportunity that both the old and the new faction must seize.

According to Emperor Lu's instructions, the kindergarten is divided into six categories: Chinese Studies, Mathematics, Martial Arts, History, Nature, and Talent, and is divided into two semesters a year, each with a textbook. That's very important.

Because only if you have compiled the textbook can you be selected to teach in the palace.

What's more, the methods of Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui are also speechless, and the two of them have used the power in their hands to find fault with the textbooks compiled by the Zhicheng Society more than once, and there have been a few times that they can be regarded as picking bones in eggs. Then, with the stamp of repeated teaching, the textbooks compiled by the old Confucians were classified into category B.

The compilation of teaching materials is not only done by the old and the new. In the past two years, Lu Qian has allowed 'intellectuals' to set up many societies, although there are not many well-known people in these societies, but there are also some, which are almost all involved in this matter.

Therefore, the source of teaching materials is quite extensive, so it is necessary to preliminarily screen and divide A, B, C, D, and so on. The last class is directly eliminated, and the first three class are also divided into high and low audit treatments. The textbooks produced by the 'Zhicheng Society', which concentrated a lot of the essence of the old Confucian system, were actually relegated to the second class, which not only did the means be dirty, but also made the old Confucians inside deeply ashamed.

Lu Qian's face here is very exciting, he gathered the two sides together today, naturally he wanted to judge the case. Naturally, the textbooks produced by the Yuanyou Academy cannot fall into the second class, and the level is there. It is also because he knows that Emperor Lu must know very well, so Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui will look like each other.

"Haha, Mr. Ziyi is angry. The textbooks compiled by the Zhicheng Society have merit, and they fall into the second class, which is really a mistake. ”

"Don't worry. The "Accountability Regulations" of this dynasty are not decorations, and I have sent them to the [Supreme Court] of Dali Temple for re-investigation. If there is any violation of law and discipline, I will not tolerate it, and I will definitely punish it severely. Lu Qian believed that Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui would not be so stupid and leave a handle for people to catch.

Fan Zhengping was not able to get a definite answer, and of course he was not satisfied. But no matter how much dissatisfaction he was, he could only hold back, "Do things according to law!" "What's wrong?

What kind of grudge do you Fan Zhengping have with Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui? Can it be bigger than the law of the country?

Fan Zhengping and his entourage retreated, and Lu Qian looked at Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui, "Can you know what is wrong?" ”

"The ministers know their mistakes, please forgive your majesty." There is nothing wrong with this in the law, but it is a leak in the law. It is estimated that when the two of them did it, they didn't expect that the old men of the Zhicheng Society who buried the loess around their necks would have such courage to poke the matter to Lu Qian.

In the final analysis, this is the two of them 'abolishing the public for personal reasons'.

"Stand down." The punishment will come soon, but not severely. After Zhao Mingcheng and Fan Rui retreated, Lu Qian recruited Zong Ze again. If there are loopholes in the law that can be exploited, then we must plug them, right? (https:)
