"The old man also thought so, but ......" Li Dongyang's expression was still solemn, his original thoughts were similar to Zhang Sheng's, so when the foreign dynasty wanted to force the palace, he always kept his door closed, in order to show that he was out of the matter, in order to bet on both sides, so as not to be wiped out by the enemy. [Full text reading]

This is not his ingenuity, but the wisdom of scholars and doctors who have passed down for thousands of years. No matter what kind of situation they face, leaving a few more roads is the king, just like the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms era, although they ultimately failed, but the three-sided bet still left a lot of possibilities for the entire Zhuge family, and it has also become a model for future generations.

There are also many such examples in this dynasty, Liu Bowen at the time of the founding of the country originally wanted to be loyal to Dayuan, but he ran into a wall everywhere, and finally reluctantly obeyed Emperor Taizu, but achieved a legend. His deeds told future generations that in the court, the position is changed by the times, and if you can't be flexible, sooner or later you will run into a broken head.

"That Xie Hong doesn't seem to have the intention of wooing a faction, but purely sowing discord." Li Dongyang put away his thoughts and sighed: "The emperor first provoked the dissatisfaction of the Jiangnan people, and in contrast, it also deepened their hatred of the officials who stayed in office, and then severely blocked the speech in the capital, but left a gap for me and other scholars to attack each other......"

"Maybe he hasn't had time yet, right?" Zhang Sheng was puzzled, and said hesitantly: "He will only have a choice after seeing everyone's position clearly, if he is just divided and disintegrated, but not co-opted, then isn't his effort in vain?" ”

"Ivy League!" Li Dongyang said categorically: "He must be counting on this academy to send talents out in the future, and then let these people replace our Confucian children." ”

"Impossible, right?" Zhang Sheng was taken aback, and shook his head again and again: "There is no famous teacher and Confucian, just a few disciples who are taught by Luo Di Xiucai, and he wants to replace us and other courtiers?" It's ridiculous! ”

The Ivy Academy is one of the worst places in Xie Hong's entire system, or there is no secret surname at all, especially in the elementary school.

Zhang Sheng also inquired, knowing that it is just teaching people to read and write, and then there is teaching the basics of arithmetic, and it is almost the same to train Mr. Bookkeeper, if it is said to train the ministers of the DPRK and China, it is simply a matter of asking for fish from the wood, is it so easy to train the ministers?

"Brother Baiya, listen to me." Li Dongyang also knew that his thoughts were unbelievable, that is, he himself, when he first came to this conclusion, he also scared himself. But since he had this idea, it has been lingering, and now, he is quite convinced.

"Before and after the turmoil, there were many people who closed the door like the old man, but the old man and others had never heard of Xie Hong coming to the door, let alone the news of the emperor's summons, if he really wanted to unite vertically and horizontally, how could he not take any action at all?"

Saying that, Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say that we are staying out of the matter, even if it is Jiao Fang...... Hehe, the old man has long heard that he has something to do with Liu Jin's castration, and now he has seen it carefully, he not only took refuge in Liu Jin, but even had the suspicion of ventilating the news. ”

"What?" Zhang Sheng suddenly rose up, shocked and angry.

There are many reasons for the failure of forcing the palace, and being robbed by Xie Hong should be one of the main reasons, if it wasn't for him being the first, then the outer court would not be passively beaten everywhere and ended in a fiasco. No one knows how Xie Hong arranged it in advance, but if someone reported the news, wouldn't this person be the culprit?

"Brother Baiya, don't be impatient, there are many reasons for the matter, just talking about the authentic way, it is not the work of the moon, Xie Hong has been thinking about it for a long time, but it has little to do with Jiao Shilang." Li Dongyang waved his hand and continued: "What the old man means is that Jiao Fang, the emperor and Xie Hong don't seem to have summoned him until now, so it can be seen that he is not enthusiastic about Lian Heng in the court. ”

"But that academy ......" Li Dongyang made sense, but Zhang Sheng was still very hesitant, "Even if Xie Hong really thinks so, but just rely on that academy?" Can they learn how to govern the country and secure the country? ”

"The old man is also puzzled at this time," Li Dongyang saw that it was difficult to convince Zhang Sheng, so he had to shake his head and sigh: "Maybe the old man is thinking too much, or maybe he has other means." ”

"Elder Li Ge, what do you mean ......?"

"Whether it is deposed or detained, they are all relatively high-grade officials, except for the imperial Shi Su Shu, none of the officials below the fifth grade have ......" Li Dongyang picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said hesitantly: "Probably Xie Hong is planning to replace the important ministers of the court with low-level officials, hey, it's so calculating, it's really calculating." ”

"First attack the important ministers of the DPRK as a deterrent; then focus on cracking down on Jiangnan Shiren and sowing discord; In the end, he promoted low-level officials and collected henchmen from those who were unwilling, just like saying that Tang ...... "This time, it is within the scope of Zhang Sheng's understanding.

Tang Bohu said that he took refuge in Xie Hong, it seems that this is the model, one is talented but unambitious, the other is powerful but not talented, and they hit it off after they meet.

Zhang Sheng immediately thought of this section, if it weren't for the relationship between Li Dongyang and Tang Bohu, he would have almost blurted out the word Tang Yin.

"The old man thinks the same is true." Li Dongyang bowed slightly, expressing his agreement.

In fact, his real idea was that Xie Hong wanted to use this method as a short-term transition, and then when the academy was completely mature, he would select talents from the academy and compete with Confucian disciples in the court.

But he didn't say this to more than one or two people, and everyone's reaction was similar to Zhang Sheng's. Although these people are all sophisticated and calculating, the inherent arrogance of the Keshi people is embedded in their bones, and even if they know that this is the case, they do not want to believe that the other party has such a means, they prefer to believe in analyzing the enemy from a strategic point of view.

But in fact, does the so-called way of governing the country and the state need to be asked by many universities? Li Dongyang had some doubts in his heart.

Not to mention the center of the court, in the local government, whether it is the prefect or the county, except for major events such as judging cases, there are basically few appearances or contact with practice, and what really makes the yamen operate is the master who has no meritorious reputation, and the small officials who have not even read books, and the officials with meritorious reputation are just good at elegant things.

And Xie Hong taught people literacy and arithmetic in primary school, and after completing his studies, most people have the foundation to act as a master or a small official. They must not be able to write very good articles, let alone write poems, but they don't need these things in the affairs of the yamen.

And what makes Li Dongyang care more is the technical school. Most of his colleagues in the court thought that Xie Hong trained craftsmen there, but Li Dongyang didn't think so, if he just trained craftsmen, wouldn't it be enough to be in the workshop? Why bother to select those who are academically successful from primary school?

Li Dongyang was deeply impressed by the heated debate in the Wenhua Palace, although he would do his best to defend the interests of the scholar class, but he was not the kind of person who covered his head and didn't look at anything, he believed that Confucianism also needed to make progress, and should learn from each other's strengths.

He did not think that Xie Hong's so-called way of learning things was a small way, but felt that Confucian children should learn more about this truth and integrate it into Confucian scholarship.

Don't talk about the side, just talk about the arithmetic. In fact, among the various yamen of the imperial court, especially the yamen of the household department and the military department, which need to be coordinated and dispatched, there are many places where arithmetic needs to be used, and according to Xie Hong, when the Ministry of Industry is constructing, arithmetic must also be used.

Although a few of the Confucian disciples are proficient in this, none of them take arithmetic seriously. Therefore, among the yamen that need to use arithmetic, those who are proficient are busy and have no time to doppelganger, and those who don't understand can't help, but they scoff at it, which has to make people sigh.

If Xie Hong's school is really the same as he thinks...... Li Dongyang's heart became heavier and heavier, as the core institution of the Ming Dynasty, the six departments could operate at least three of the knowledge taught in Xie Hong's school.

Needless to say, the household department and the Ministry of Industry, craftsmen who are proficient in arithmetic are all Xie Hong's ability to look after the family. And the military department actually doesn't need to mention that after three months of training, you can defeat 8,000 forbidden troops with 3,000 scouts, which can already be compared with the famous generals of the ancients.

After Liu Daxia planted his heels, even if it is vague now, no one dares to mention topics such as the clear side of the monarch anymore. The biggest reason why Xie Hong was able to win that battle was his pre-arrangement, which was different, but as long as he entered his game, he would definitely be unlucky.

You must not fight him on the battlefield that Xie Hong preset, this has become the consensus of the courtiers, and it is also the main reason why they don't want to mention the matter of Qingjun's side and forcing the palace again.

At present, the engineering team of Zhenbao Zhai is working on the outer city of the capital, saying that it is to strengthen the city wall and repair the city gate, but what is it doing, because of the martial law at the time of construction, but no one knows.

Can be mobilized and the closest to the capital, only the soldiers and horses in Jizhen are the most reliable, and the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town can be mobilized, but now who doesn't know that the emperor has won the hearts and minds of the army in Xuanfu? After being transferred, it is a question of whether he will defect to the battle. If it is farther away, it will take a long time and there will be more variables, which is not advisable.

However, whether the soldiers and horses of Jizhen can capture the capital alone, there is almost no room for debate in this matter, and it will definitely not be able to be attacked. The border army was driven to attack the capital, and there would be no morale in itself, and Xie Hong had set up traps, not to mention the result.

At most, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen can only play a deterrent role, and it is not easy to rely on them to get things done. Even if you are really not afraid of turmoil in the world, you must have enough righteous reputation.

But with the efficiency of the scholars, I am afraid that such a thing as supporting the vassal king will have to be discussed for three or five months, and then planned for a year and a half, and finally a plan can be made that is sufficient to balance the interests of all parties.

In addition to elementary schools and technical schools, there is also an unknown research institute in the Ivy League, although I don't know what it does, but I think it will be more clever than the previous two, right? After three or five years, the talents in the academy will emerge, and the time will be ...... Could it be that the thousand-year-old Confucianism will be overthrown? Thinking of this, Li Dongyang only felt his heart swaying, and his body was cold.
