Chapter 149: Prince Li Chanted
Wei Renshi thought about it, and there was nothing to prepare for.
Li Yu saw that he was nothing more than an encouragement to the new students who had entered the Chongwen Pavilion, so Wei Renshi felt that he didn't need to be too eager.
The next day, everything was as usual in the Chongwen Pavilion, and Wei Renshi finally finished copying the textbook, only to find that the textbook was already half explained. In the other halfway, I will have to copy the book again.
Wei Renshi sighed, and said in his heart that he should find a craftsman in Chang'an City who knows how to engrave seals, and it is best to engrave engravings, so that he can engrave some clay characters in advance, so that he can typeset and print books by himself, save copying, and make some contributions to the ancient printing industry.
Hey? Isn't it okay to print and sell books as a business?
I just don't know if I will be hated by those scholars who monopolize knowledge and books?
However, the Shi clan has been cleaned up since Li Shimin, and now it has long been in decline, and it is no longer the same as when the country was founded.
So don't be afraid.
While listening to the lecture, I was distracted, and half a morning passed quickly.
During the break, Wei Renshi finally saw a figure appear in the Chongwen Pavilion.
Thinking about it, if you get rid of that sick look, you will look like a decent person. It was the one who stood in front of the ministers and under the throne when Wei Renshi went to court.
As soon as that person appeared, the students who were resting in the Chongwen Pavilion passed over one after another.
Fan Zhiyi pulled Wei Renshi and immediately walked over.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" A group of students saluted the prince.
They were born in Chongwen Pavilion, and although they are still students, they have actually been labeled as princely officials. Even if he went through the imperial examination and became an official with the candidates of Hongwenguan in the future, he was still the person of the crown prince Li Yu until Li Yu ascended the throne and became the emperor. Then the new students in the Chongwen Pavilion will be labeled as the next prince.
Therefore, the students in the Chongwen Pavilion have great respect for the prince. After all, once the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, they will definitely have an advantage over others because of the status of the prince's close subordinates.
Li Yu gave a few words of encouragement to the students, and then his gaze passed over the crowd and fell on Wei Renshi.
But he just looked at it and went to the back.
After Li Yu left, Quan Qiaoqiu and Gu Pengju also came over and said to Wei Renshi: "Renshi, I guess I will summon you later." ”
Wei Renshi nodded.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the attendants in the Chongwen Pavilion to come over and spread the word that Wei Renshi had passed.
Wei Renshi followed the attendant and entered the door, where he saw Li Yu sitting on the first seat. The old man who had "assigned" him on the day he first entered the Chongwen Pavilion, and a few other people sat below.
"Students meet His Royal Highness the Prince, meet the owner, and meet all gentlemen." After Wei Renshi entered, he made a student salute and said indifferently.
"Wei Sheng doesn't have to be polite." Li Yu said with a smile: "I have long heard that when Wei Sheng was in Fuchang, he had improved the farm tools, and made a strange mechanism, so that a village can be watered by itself without manpower, and the heart is strange, and later I heard that Wei Sheng offered the method of damming and silting the land, and there is a strategy for improving the wasteland, these two strategies can be called the policies of the national dynasty." At that time, Lone wanted to meet Wei Sheng. Today I finally got my wish. ”
Look how talkative people are!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it." Wei Ren gave a salute.
But he heard Li Yu and asked: "I heard that Wei Sheng was born in a poor family in Changgu, and I think that Wei Sheng must know the suffering of the people." In the future, you can talk to Gu Yan more, so that Gu will not live in the deep palace for a long time and do not know the affairs of the people. ”
"Your Highness is benevolent." Wei Renshi nodded yes.
At this time, one of the people below suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, the minister heard that Wei County's male was precocious, and his words should not be regarded as childish, but as an adult." Today, it seems that this is indeed the case. ”
"Yes, Wei Xian male stands here to answer what His Royal Highness said, but he is calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and his face does not change, how can it be done by a twelve-year-old child?" Another person said: "The two strategies offered by the mind are unknowable to adults, but what about children? ”
Wei Renshi looked at the two of them and replied: "The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, the family is in the middle of the road, the father died early, and the minister is an only son, how can he bear the patience of A-Niang and endure hardships?" The burden of the family is borne by me, and I have to take on the family business as soon as possible. ”
"Yes." The prince nodded, then pointed to the first person to speak, and said, "This is Lone's attendant Wang Shuwen, who is also familiar with the sufferings of the people, and often speaks for Lonely. ”
He also pointed to the second speaker, and said, "This is a servant of Wang Ling, and he also has many opinions on current affairs. ”
Wei Renshi's eyes narrowed, this is the second king.
are also the two people Wei Renshi should be wary of. Especially this Wang Shuwen.
Wang Shuwen was appointed to the Hanlin Academy because of his chess skills, knew a little about poetry and books, and liked to talk about statecraft.
In fact, he also has a certain political vision and ambition, and the Yongzhen reform implemented with him as the center is actually a good thing. However, he was in a hurry, regardless of the method, overconfident, and after taking power, his selfish desires swelled, so that it led to the failure of the final Yongzhen reform.
In fact, the reason for the failure of the Wang Shuwen group is not the implementation of the New Deal itself, but the way in which the New Deal is implemented.
Because of some measures in Yongzhen's reform, Tang Xianzong also vigorously promoted it after succeeding to the throne, such as weakening the feudal towns, rectifying the rule of officials, strengthening finances, etc., and the so-called "Yuan and Zhongxing" once appeared.
However, in the process of implementing the new policy, Wang Shuwen made friends and cultivated cronies, constantly expanded his "circle", and was overconfident in his own energy, and at the same time touched the interests of eunuchs, feudal towns, important ministers, prime ministers, and the royal family, and impacted the political foundation of the centralized system of the Tang Dynasty, so in the end, Wang Shuwen's "circle" was besieged, split, diluted and disintegrated, its political forces were completely defeated, and the "Yongzhen Reform" that was implemented in less than five months died down.
For his evaluation, later generations have their own public opinions: Wang Shuwen is not a real scoundrel, looking at the introduction of many people, there are more famous people for a while, although he is not a general, he must be selected for literature...... Looking at his depreciation of Li Shi, he summoned Lu Zhenyang City, and entered the Wufang children of Fenggong City, citing the maladministration of the previous dynasty, and the second outlining was also comforting. That is, if you want to seize the handle of the eunuch palace and entrust the ministers, it is not necessary at that time, the eunuch temple has become a habit, and if it can be swept away in one fell swoop, it is better to be lucky? Mistakenly in the lack of material, more than exaggerated, the eunuch has already prevented, he is still smug, and Shuwen invited a banquet from Chen, Wang Ling sighed in bed, in vain to make the generations laugh, do not wait for Xianzong to ascend the throne, has long known that he is incompetent. Wei Zhiyi began to attach his uncle's text, and finally rejected his uncle's text, and died together. Eight Sima successively depreciated, a number of corruption and long-term authority, plus Wei Gao Pei Jun Yan Shou, etc., the above table please Zhu Lingwen, reopen the disaster of the external heavy and the internal light, since it is the official town of the eunuchs, fighting for power, and separating from each other, so that it will die, but it can be victorious!
Yoo Woo-seok and Yoo Jong-won are now already doing things for him, and they want to pull themselves onto his boat, as exemplified.
I must not be able to change Wang Shuwen, let alone stop him.
Therefore now it is necessary to neither enter into his circle nor make any enemies with him. After all, he had a time in power.
Wei Renshi's best choice at the moment is to study in the Chongwen Pavilion honestly, develop his own industry in Chang'an, never step into the quagmire of political struggle, and have a good relationship with Li Chun by the way.
Until Wang Shuwen failed, Li Chun ascended the throne.
If Li Yu is in good health, he may also be a virtuous monarch. It's a pity that Wei Renshi is not an immortal, and he can't twist his body.
However, it is best to find an opportunity to persuade Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan in the middle, so that they don't get involved too deeply and avoid the pain of derogation in history.
