Chapter 5: Changsun Tang's New Position

Wu Yuanqing's Ministry of Industry Shangshu did a good job. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He also guessed correctly about the appointment of the eldest grandson, after all, after reaching a certain height, these things are basically the product of compromise and exchange, so there are certain signs to follow in these things.

It's just that this position caught the eldest grandson off guard. Originally, in the imagination of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Chong, who had been with Zongzheng Temple for many years, was exiled as the Dengzhou Assassin History, and the vacant position of Zongzheng Temple Qing was estimated to be the eldest grandson in nine out of ten. At this time, Zongzheng Temple did not have as much power as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so this Zongzheng Temple did not need to be held by clan relatives.

However, when the decree came down, it made many people lose their glasses. Of course, this is also the invention of Changsun Tang, and reading glasses polished by natural crystal are still very popular.

The will is as follows: The hereditary replacement of Sun Tang, the prince of the Liang State, has made great contributions to the country, and he is specially awarded the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Generally speaking, the officials, rites, and military departments of the upper three of these six ministries are generally candidates for prime ministers, and a duty of "participating in the administration of the government" will be added later, which is equivalent to a minister concurrently serving as a state councilor.

However, although the eldest grandson served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he did not have this responsibility, which made the ranking of the Ministry of Rites a little embarrassing. Originally, the main responsibility of the Ministry of Rites was to be responsible for tribute, sacrifices, and ceremonies. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying that "national events, only rituals and rituals", and the ranking of the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for sacrifices and ceremonies, was naturally not low. And since the imperial examination at this time did not start for a long time, there were very few things that were really decided by the Ministry of Rites.

This also caused the Ministry of Rites to be a high-ranking but small department with real power, and the original Ministry of Rites was still okay because of its "participation in government affairs". But when it comes to Changsun Tang, all this seems a little subtle.

In addition, due to the current large-scale construction, the functions of the Ministry of Industry have been strengthened, and the Ministry of Rites can barely suppress the Ministry of Punishment.

However, these are not things that Changsun Tang can change, or what Changsun Tang is unwilling to change.

Unlike the Ministry of Industry where Wu Yuanqing served, the authority of the Ministry of Rites could only be weakened, and it was impossible for the service to be strengthened in a short period of time.

The eldest grandson is reluctant to restructure, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything.

None of the current responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites can be intervened, and it is enough to have two attendants. This left waiter's name is Zhang Xingyan, and he is an official who has been mixed up in the Ministry of Rites by relying on his qualifications, and this original Shangshu felt that he had hope after leaving office, who knew that the airborne landing of this eldest grandson caught him a little off guard, and it was inevitable that some yang and yin would go against it. And this right squire is a Confucian who Liu Mingzhi knows, but thinks that he doesn't pay much attention to his official position.

The two of them each manage the two divisions under the Ministry of Rites, and the eldest grandson is naturally happy to be a shopkeeper.

It's just that the eldest grandson still has some ideas.

That is what he intends to add to the responsibilities of this Ministry of Rites, which is education.

The current education in Datang is actually in a state of disorder, because the implementation of the imperial examination at this time has not been many years, whether it is the system or the atmosphere is not very good, naturally there is no need to set up a special management body. It's just that in the central government, the state has established "six schools" and "Hongbunkan" and other places similar to specialized colleges, but these are basically monopolized by the aristocracy in order to prepare for the establishment of the government.

Of course, the education system established by Changsun Tang in Jinshan before him could not be copied. So this still needs to be thought about in detail by the eldest grandson.

Therefore, this letter "Please Build a World School Fold" sparked an unprecedented discussion in the court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all capable ministers during the period of the first emperor, you may wish to discuss this matter today." Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, although there was a gap between him and his father, but he should not be underestimated.

Li Zhi, as an emperor sandwiched between Tang Taizong and Wu Zetian, is not that he is not good enough, but that the front and back are too good, and his physical condition is not very good, so he is easy to be misunderstood by others. As a person who can laugh to the end from the dragon and phoenix among Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke and others, even if the element of luck is counted, this cannot deny his own ability. The opening sentence just now is enough to make others dare not underestimate it.

In the impression of the eldest grandson, Li Zhi is still the child who dragged his nose behind Li Tai's buttocks, and this contrast is really a bit big.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Gao Jifu said aloud. This is a cabinet meeting, and whenever there is a more important matter, such a small meeting will be held in advance, and the eldest grandson was not qualified to participate, but this time the discussion was about what he was playing, so he was pulled in.

"This school building is a good thing, it can guide people to read upward, and we are all readers, and the key to the problem involved is the issue of subsidies. This requires a lot of financial and human resources, which we don't have at the moment. I think it can be put on hold for now. Gao Jifu continued.

"These shouldn't be a big problem, since Liang Guogong proposed such a method, then there should be corresponding measures, it is better for Lord Guogong to try to implement it for a period of time, if it really doesn't work, we will find another way." It was Zhang Xingcheng who spoke.

"I think we can also find a smaller area to try it out." Yu Zhining said, but did not say anything more.

This matter has a lot to do with it, and the content of the excerpt is too extensive, which shows that Liang Guogong considers the problem very comprehensively and has a far-sighted vision. But again, this results in a lot of work that needs to be done, and a lot of things, some of which require a lot of resources. None of this can be completed in a short period of time, so Liang Guogong might as well divide this recital into several stages to elaborate, do you think this is okay? "It was the eldest grandson Wuji who spoke.

At this time, Li Zhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a somewhat cloudy face, and today's discussion between him and the eldest grandson was completely a spectator.

"Are all the meanings of the Qing family unified? What objections does the eldest grandson's family have? Li Zhi's face changed several times, but he finally calmed down.

There are two eldest grandsons here, one is Taiwei and Zhao Guogong's eldest grandson Wuji, and the other is naturally our eldest grandson. But Li Zhi's title is clearly referring to the eldest grandson.

"There is no objection to the minister, this twist and turn may really be full of mistakes and omissions." For everyone's praise or disapproval, Changsun Tang's face has never changed much.

It's not that the oxygen kung fu has arrived, but that these things really don't have much interest for him. The older we get, the more temptations we can withstand, not because our resistance increases, but because we have more things.

Regarding the performance of everyone at the meeting, Changsun Tang is no longer a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child now. Some people praise you just because they have a good relationship with you or anything else, just because it's good for them. In the same way, criticizing you does not necessarily mean that you have an opinion about you, on the contrary, nine times out of ten, criticizing you is really good for you.

This fold on the eldest grandson even he himself did not report any hope of passing at all, without him, the interests involved were too great. If printing and improved papermaking were to lower the threshold for reading, then this school was a magic weapon for mass production of readers.

The old aristocrats wanted to monopolize these for the sake of family education, and naturally it was impossible to let this pass. And Li Zhi, who inherited the ambition of the previous emperor, has not completely gotten rid of the influence left by Li Shimin on him, so he will naturally raise his hands in favor of such a blow to the old aristocracy. Therefore, Yu Zhining, who was the first to agree, should have received the emperor's instructions, but it was obvious that the pressure on this nobleman was very huge, and he himself was a member of the nobles, so he naturally did not want this matter to be achieved, so he simply stated his position.

In fact, these were clear when the eldest grandson attended the meeting.

As for the other one, it is the famous Li Tao. It is customary for the military secretary who participated in the government to participate in discussions except on topics related to the army.

Since the eldest grandson knew that the issue of building a school was unpassable, he still raised such a topic, and the purpose was just to divert the topic and regress.

In fact, due to the lowering of the threshold for studying, the emergence of large-scale private schools in Datang has almost become a foregone conclusion, and this is not something that anyone can stop. The only difference is the uneven quality of teaching and the problem of subsidies, which can be done slowly in other ways.

But there is one thing that does not work, and that is the establishment of universities.

This should be the most important task for the eldest grandson.

The existence of a university is not only an institution for the dissemination of scholarship and science and technology, but also for the dissemination of ideas.

Fortunately, Changsun Tang now has Nanyang College as a model and Xinfeng Laboratory as the backing. As long as the attention of the topic is diverted, the probability of success is very high.

Originally, Li Zhi was the most supportive of these things. The new emperor, who is anxious to prove himself, is already a little impatient and ready to continue to suppress the Gaomen clan.

However, the eldest grandson did not intend to receive support from the royal family, at least not at the establishment stage.

When doing these things, Changsun Tang is very cautious, which is also something he has been planning for the past few years. The only thing that is uncertain is to let him take the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. However, this is good news for the eldest grandson.

These nobles looked at the series of dazzling actions of the eldest grandson, it was impossible not to be jealous, especially since the eldest grandson had touched on the issue of their fundamental interests.

It's just that in the past few years, almost no one can think of him who is low-key in Changsun Tang, but Shui knows that this Changsun Tang's action is big. Fortunately, the wise majesty is always wise, and once again saw through the conspiracy of the bad guy Changsun Tang, so that Changsun Tang's plan could not be realized. These things that the prime ministers said must not be false.

The eldest grandson quietly returned to the Ministry of Rites.

Some things travel faster than the speed of sound, especially this kind of bad thing.

When everyone saw that the top boss had a black face, everyone was silent, and there was no one who would take the initiative to provoke the top boss at such a juncture, otherwise it would be purely tired and crooked.

When the eldest grandson turned around in all the rooms of the Ministry of Rites, watching everyone look really busy or pretending to be busy, and when he returned to his official room, that is, the office, he couldn't hold back the smile anymore, but this wall has ears, and it is okay to laugh, but it is silent.

It's just a small twist and turn that I can see a lot of problems, and it seems that I am not as annoying as I imagined. None of these prime ministers seem to be outright hostile to themselves, and the rest of life is undoubtedly much better. Whether this is his own efforts or the additional impact of relying on the banner of the eldest grandson Wuji. That's all a good thing.

And this time it was rejected, and if it was rejected again next time, then the next time as long as the request was not too excessive, it would generally be agreed. This is human nature, which is called psychology.

And the next request is naturally to build a real university on the basis of Xinfeng Laboratory, which is much less difficult. Because the goals of the university's original training were inconsistent with those of the major families and nobles, there was no need for conflict between the two.

In Changsun Tang's mind, the original purpose of this university was to train scientists to explore the world, of course, the status of this scientist is not too high at present, but Changsun Tang can attract children from poor families to engage in these things by increasing his income. After some time, gradually add these humanities disciplines, so that you can save the country.

And when the time comes, he will give all the work of the Ministry of Rites to his two deputies, and he will do it well with all his heart.

These things may feel a little inappropriate to others, after all, the power that has been obtained with great difficulty is unjustifiable. It's just that for the eldest grandson, there is no such consideration at all.

It's just that the eldest grandson is willing to give up power, but some people are not very willing.

It will be recorded in the history books of later generations that there were two rebellions in the fourth year of Yonghui of Tang Gaozong.

This is naturally the rebellion between Fang Yiai and Xue Wanche, the commander of the horses.

ps: The story begins to end here, and I will try to explain everyone's whereabouts here, as well as the impact of the appearance of the eldest grandson on the world, so there may be a lot of more obscure things involved, and I will try my best to bring you a more satisfactory ending.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement for more than half a year, thank you again. (To be continued.) )
