Chapter 144: Right in the Middle

Coming out of the palace, Wei Renshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the first time he entered the palace to meet the emperor alone, Wei Ren didn't count it in his heart.

But judging from the current results, it seems that it is okay.

As for Chongwenkan......

In addition to the six schools under Guozijian - Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Law, Calligraphy and Arithmetic - the central government school of the Tang Dynasty also included the Hongwen Hall under the Menxia Province and the Chongwen Hall under the East Palace.

Both Hongwenguan and Chongwenkan have the function of "teaching students and other professions", and only the children of noble and high-ranking officials are eligible to enter them.

Hongwen and Chongwen were important parts of the central government school in the Tang Dynasty and were the highest-level noble stomach schools in the Tang Dynasty. The two museums have a noble status and are located in the forbidden middle school, and the students in the two museums have the dual nature of education and political participation, and the political identity and status of the students in them will be different in the future.

The two museums are the products of the political environment of the Tang Dynasty, the Hongwen Hall belongs to the Menxia Province, and the Chongwen Hall is the Donggong Academy. This directly determined the different roles of the scholars and students of the two museums in the politics of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of their high status, the enrollment quota of Hongwen and Chongwen is very small, and the enrollment qualifications are also quite strict. Although the two museums have their own affiliations, their enrollment standards are the same, and the performance of the enrollment conditions is "supplementing Hongwen and Chongwen students".

The students of the two museums are mainly selected from the descendants of the three grades of the Beijing officials. In the early Tang Dynasty, students of the two museums enjoyed some important political and economic treatments, such as exemption from class service, room and board provided by the school, pilgrimage to the emperor, and preferential treatment for entering the official and imperial examinations.

The two museums recruited and trained noble children to take care of the high-ranking officials of the current dynasty, display the emperor's grace and honor, and consolidate the stability of the ruling group.

There are even special regulations for the imperial examination of "Hongwen Chongwen Shengju", which is specially given convenience to the students of the two museums.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the students of the two museums initially relied on the door shade to enter the office, and after entering the two museums, the requirements for the students of the two museums were relatively low when they graduated from the museum. Students from the two museums participate in the imperial examination, and there are separate propositions and preferential treatment for "short examinations" and "short examinations". Although there have been many changes since then, this preferential treatment has always been there.

However, at present, the status of Chongwen Hall has already plummeted.

In the early Tang Dynasty, in view of the lessons of unstable succession to the throne in the Sui and early Tang dynasties, the emperor believed that the main reason was the failure to train a good successor.

Therefore, more attention was paid to the traditional primogeniture, and the power of the crown prince was given to strengthen the power of the East Palace. However, the crown prince always disappointed the emperor, and the preferences of the lord were difficult to understand, so the establishment of the reserve and the abolition of the reserve occurred from time to time.

The struggle for imperial power was fierce, and a bloody palace coup d'Γ©tat could not be avoided.

In the Tang Xuanzong period, he changed his previous practice and did the opposite, and instead weakened the power of the reserve.

The crown prince generally did not live in the East Palace, but lived in another courtyard with the emperor.

Since then, the status of the Chongwen Pavilion serving the prince has also plummeted.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the officials of the East Palace in the Tang Dynasty began to develop from the two palaces to obey the imperial power. When Xuanzong was the king, he seized the throne of emperor with the assistance of Yao, Song and other subordinates, so he took special care to limit the prince's too close relationship with the scholars of Chongwenguan.

In the late Tang Dynasty, many emperors did not have a prince, and the autocratic eunuchs often supported the new monarch before the emperor's death.

Therefore, the power of the East Palace is even more decaying, and the status of the Chongwen Pavilion has changed considerably.

Although it has not yet reached the point of the late Tang Dynasty, the actual status of Chongwen Pavilion can never be compared with Hongwen Pavilion.

Therefore, letting Wei Renshi enter the Chongwen Pavilion is really not a good reward.

Entering the Hongwen Pavilion is a sign of the emperor's favor and high hopes.

However, going to Chongwenkan instead of Hongwenkan may be disappointing to others. Because it means that the emperor is just giving a casual reward, and there is no special care.

But for Wei Renshi, it is right in the middle.

Because no matter when, no matter how much the Chongwen Pavilion declines, it can't change the fact that it is for the sake of serving the prince.

Since it is to serve the prince, even if the status of Chongwen Hall is no longer there, no matter how much the East Palace loses its previous power, it is still the school hall of the East Palace.

Since it is the school hall of the East Palace, it naturally belongs to the East Palace and belongs to the prince.

And no matter who becomes the prince, this reality will not change.

This means that Wei Renshi can not only have the opportunity to come into contact with the current crown prince Li Yu in the Chongwen Pavilion, but may even have the opportunity to contact the future prince Li Chun, and even Li Chun's princes.

Originally, in history, at this time, it is not far from the time of Li Shi's death.

And if you follow the original trajectory of history, Li Yu is an even more unlucky person.

The prince has suffered a stroke for half his life, and has lost the ability to move and speak before he ascends the throne. After being the emperor for eight months, he was honored as the emperor, and a few months after Li Chun ascended the throne, he died directly.

It's only been a few years!

So let's hurry up and report Li Chun's thighs.

In this way, it is much more convenient to go to Chongwenkan.

Okay, too.

Wei Renshi was in a good mood, humming a small tune in his mouth and leaving the Suzaku Gate and going home.

Back at home, the four of them were still there. Waiting for Wei Renshi to go back, he hurriedly came around and asked.

"Your Majesty has asked me something, and I don't know if I can tell you at the moment." Wei Renshi said to the four of them.

As soon as everyone heard this, Han Yu said, "Then Wei Langjun still don't say more." ”

The rest of the group nodded yes.

Wei Renshi also nodded, so he didn't say anything, just said, "There is a little bit that I can say." Today, His Majesty has spoken, preparing to let me enter the Chongwen Pavilion to study. ”

The four of them were all taken aback when they heard Wei Renshi's words, but Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan immediately showed joy after being surprised. And Han Yu and Zhang Ji did not show anything.

Liu Zongyuan exclaimed again: "Chongwen Pavilion! The Chongwen Hall is the East Palace Academy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also listens to lectures in it. Wei Langjun is ...... this time His Majesty would directly let Wei Langjun enter the Chongwen Pavilion! I don't know what this means?! ”

"Who can figure out the mind of a saint." Liu Yuxi shook his head and said, "But in this way, Wei Langjun can directly see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince's attendant." ”

Hehe, do you still need to speculate?

Li Shi is preparing manpower for Li Yu.

He should have realized that his body was getting worse day by day.

Li Shi is quite satisfied with Li Yu, the prince. In the original history, even if Li Yu was paralyzed by a stroke and couldn't move his mouth or body, he never thought about setting up another prince, and he still let Li Yu inherit the throne.

Li Shi was very concerned about his son Li Yu's condition, and he was so worried that he visited him several times. He was sent to visit famous doctors to treat him.

Li Yu was bedridden, and he was unable to participate in the Yuanri Dynasty meeting that year, and Li Shi sighed sadly, which led to the deterioration of his health. When he was seriously ill, all the kings' ministers and relatives went to his sickbed to serve the decoction, but Li Shi was unable to come to accompany him because he was sick in bed, so Li Shi kept sobbing and could not calm down for a long time, so that his physical condition deteriorated even more, and he could not die after a short time.

Wei Renshi felt that Li Shi arranged himself into the Chongwen Pavilion, firstly, to be able to keep an eye on him more closely, and secondly, to prepare manpower for the crown prince Li Yu.

However, for Wei Renshi, it is also a good thing.
