Chapter 5 Development Bottlenecks
Meeting Cao Xing was just a small episode of Gao Ye's visit to the academy this time. Today's Cao Xing has lost his coat of general, and he is at ease to teach in the academy, which is also something that Gao Ye is happy to see. After all, the fame is taken right away, and Cao Xing is now holding the title of a marquis of Guannei, and he can barely be regarded as a success. In this way, he can teach in the academy for a lifetime, although it is impossible to have greater merit and a higher title, but at least he can bless his descendants. Compared with Cheng Lian and Hao Meng, who had already died in battle, Cao Xing was much luckier.
Gao Ye is going to the library to find Cai Yong, and Cao Xing is also going to the library to return the books. Since the two have met, they will naturally walk together all the way. Don't look at Cao Xing is now holding a copy of "Mencius", but when it comes to learning, Cao Xing is still much worse than Gao Ye. But when it comes to the academy, Cao Xing knows much more than Gao Ye. After all, Cao Xing, as a teacher of the academy, has been living in the academy for more than two years, and even many new buildings in the academy have been built under the gaze of Cao Xing. Therefore, along the way, Gao Ye kept asking, Cao Xing kept answering, as long as it was not a question in learning, Cao Xuan could almost answer one, two, three, and even quote scriptures from time to time, which made Gao Ye feel like a scholar for three days.
Gao Ye and Cao Xing naturally chatted happily, but Cai Yong in the library didn't have a good face for Gao Ye. In addition to attending classes over the years, Cai Yong has devoted himself to writing books in the library and compiling "Hanji". Now that the good time is disturbed, naturally there will be no good face, especially if the person who disturbed him is still Gao Ye. Even when Gao Ye bowed, Cai Yong just said "um", and nodding was considered a return salute.
Cai Yong's temper is big, even Gao Ye is helpless. Don't look at your current official residence, but in front of Cai Yong, I don't talk about the relationship between Weng and my son-in-law, but when it comes to fame and status, Cai Yong is enough to crush Gao Ye. After all, Cai Yong is known for his talent, and he was even more famous for his uprightness in the court. Now working hard in the academy, it is even more peach and plum all over the world, who has gone out of the academy over the years, who does not read him Cai Bojiao?
What's more, although he won the attack on Yecheng this time, his reputation for lust is also known to the world. Almost overnight, the names of "famous generals", "celebrities", and "calligraphers" in the past days were all pressed to the ground by the word "lustful". His son-in-law has now become a world-famous disciple, how can Cai Yong, the old man, be angry in his heart?
To be honest, there is really nothing that can be done about Gao Ye, Cai Yong ignores himself, he is still writing and painting, and he can only stand silently aside. Back then, he snatched Cai Yan home, and was scolded by Cai Yong, at that time, he was young and thick-skinned, so it was naturally okay. Now that he has run for four, and he is a court situ, if he is scolded by Cai Yong in this library, where should this face go?
Fortunately, with Zheng Xuan, a good old man, Shi Shiran walked forward, which gave Gao Ye a step down, and he greeted Cai Yong, and Gao Ye was saved. Seeing that Cao Xing, who was not far away, gave him a knowing smile, Gao Ye almost instantly understood who he should thank for a while. I didn't expect this guy Cao Xing to be mixed in the academy for two years, and this emotional intelligence and methods are really good!
Zheng Xuan took Cai Yong and Gao Ye, and the three of them went to Zheng Xuan's office together. Today's academy is Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, who are highly respected, so the offices of the two of them are large. For Zheng Xuan, this Yingchuan Academy really made him overjoyed, he originally wanted to return to the mountains and forests for the rest of his life, but now he is ready to die in the academy. The birth of such a academy made Zheng Xuan, who is keen on education, have a trace of gratitude for Gao Ye. It was precisely because of this trace of gratitude that Zheng Xuan heard Cao Xing say that Gao Ye was in trouble with Cai Yong, so he hurried to the rescue. As soon as the three of them entered the office and sat down as the guest of honor, Zheng Xuan smiled even more: "Uncle, your virtuous son-in-law came to see you in the academy, why didn't you even pay attention to it?" ”
Cai Yong didn't have an interface when he heard this, but Gao Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Kang Chenggong, you don't know, my father-in-law is angry with me, blame me for becoming a well-known womanizer now." ”
Cai Yong snorted coldly and said, "You still know! ”
Gao Ye shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and Zheng Xuan on the side hurriedly said: "Uncle you, you don't know why Mingxi is doing this, what kind of anger are you!" ”
"Hmph, Mencius has a cloud, 'the rich and the rich can't be lewd, the poor can't be moved, and the mighty can't be bent', he is a famous man in the night, and he is a court Situ, how can he carry a name that loves lust like life! In this way, where is the official authority! Up and down, other officials also learn from him, this court is not messed up! ”
Gao Ye smiled and said, "What this official will look like in the future, it depends on how you and Kang Chenggong teach in this academy, and what it has to do with me." Saying that, Gao Ye took the tea handed by the servant, took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, now it is a troubled time, and when the world is calm, you have the character of a judge and an investigative official, so don't worry about it, father-in-law." ”
"Oh? How did I not know there was such a position? Cai Yong was stunned when he heard Gao Ye's words, and then asked, "Although I have the position of imperial history, I mostly listen to the wind and do things to investigate the lawlessness." ”
Gao Ye saw that Cai Yong was brought to another topic by himself, and he also smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still indifferent, and he chuckled: "Now that I am Situ, what kind of official should I have, and what new position should I create, that is my job, father-in-law, you can rest assured!" ”
As soon as Gao Ye's words fell, Zheng Xuan on the side frowned slightly and said, "What, Mingxi, did you deliberately change the official system?" It is not appropriate, the official system is the body of a country, how can it be changed at will! ”
Cai Yong was already a little displeased when he heard Gao Ye's words, but now as soon as Zheng Xuan's words came out, he thought it was even more true. Before he was about to speak, he saw Gao Ye shake his head and said: "The times are developing, we should judge the situation and follow the trend, how can we stick to the old rules and rest on our laurels?" Moreover, the changes in the official system have existed since ancient times, and now the imperial court has newly established the history of Shang Cao and the history of Cao, and the remarkable results are obvious to all. Now that the world is in turmoil, it's time to break it and then stand up! Since I am for Situ, how can I be on top of it, not for the court, for the people, and for the common people in the world? ”
Cai Yong frowned, but it was rare that he did not refute. After all, he and Gao Ye have known each other for so many years, and now they are his father-in-law, and almost no one can understand Gao Ye to the right of Cai Yong. Don't look at what Gao Ye said casually, but the more Gao Ye is like this, the more it means that he is confident. As long as it is something that Gao Ye is confident about, he will do it nine times out of ten, and he can do it, so it is almost impossible to dissuade him.
In the end, the father-in-law still feels sorry for his son-in-law, if he changes someone else, Cai Yong will definitely ignore him if he doesn't scold. Now that it is Gao Ye, Cai Yong has no choice but to ask Gao Ye how to change it, if it is still reliable, he can help him more, and he will save Gao Ye from making mistakes. Maybe this is the most genuine care of a family, especially an old man, for the younger generation, even if he disagrees with you, but in the end, he will still find ways to help you get through the difficulties.
Therefore, Cai Yong, who had been standing, sat down at this time and said, "Tell me, how are you going to change?" ”
Gao Ye came to the academy to ask Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong on this issue, both of them are masters of economics and history, and they have been officials in the court, so they are familiar with the current official system. In addition, both of them are big families and have a prominent reputation, and most of the people they interacted with in the past were people from families, and they are also quite clear about the intricate family relationships of the Han Dynasty today. With the two of them helping him to give advice, he can now get through the bottleneck of the development of the official system.
With this idea, Gao Ye took out the two materials he had prepared. Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong were also stunned when they saw this thick document. The two of them thought that even if Gao Ye had to change, they would not have any specific plans now, after all, he had been fighting before, so how could he have time to think about these things.
How did the two of them know, this was not Gao Ye's idea at all, he just listed the official system, system and official election system that had been in history, although he didn't know much about the details, but the general framework was still fine. In addition to these frameworks, there are also some of Gao Ye's own opinions, Gao Ye's own advantages, disadvantages, suitable, and inappropriate are all marked in it, as for the anachronistic concept of democracy, Gao Ye still chose to hide it, and it was not written in the copywriting at all. Isn't there a good saying, it's easy to pull the egg when you take too big a step, this kind of thing that has surpassed today's society for 2,000 years, it's better not to let it appear for the time being.
Cai Yong flipped through the pages, roughly browsing, while listening to Gao Ye's brief overview. In the end, Cai Yong still chose to put the stack aside first and listened carefully to Gao Ye's speech: "...... These are the things I've been thinking about these days, and they're very messy, and some of them don't even know how to choose. Gao Ye had been talking for a long time, and when he was thirsty, he motioned to the servants on the side to store water for him, and continued to speak: "And some of these things are suitable for the present, some are suitable for the unification of the world, and some may not be taken out at all. However, since Huan Ling, the trend of selling officials and lords has been very heavy, corpses and vegetarians abound, the functions of officialdom are unclear, and the local governments do not care about the well-being of the people. It's hard to return, and now it's to the point where you can't change it! I've written all these things here, just to ask you to help me go through them and try to come up with a system that is most suitable for the present and even the future. Speaking of this, Gao Ye suddenly couldn't help laughing, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now those who are officials are all for a word of power." If you want me to think, when all the officials in the world can take 'serving the people' as their own responsibility, when will the Haiyan River be cleared! ”
When Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan heard this, they just smiled and didn't speak, and Cai Yong slapped the stack of documents in the high night and said, "These things, Kang Cheng and I will go back and take a closer look." On the other hand, although the academy has developed rapidly over the years, it can face many problems. You have always had the most wonderful ideas, and since you are here, I would like to hear your views on the future development of the College. ”
