In the Xuanzheng Palace, everything turned over too quickly, and even Qin Shaoyou didn't expect His Majesty to be so 'quick to make a decision'.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that his 'reckless' actions had invisibly established Wu Zetian's prestige, let alone what happened to the Son of Heaven and the ministers.

And these are not what he cares about in the first place, he is just a good student who speaks up.

Because of ignorance, he couldn't understand Wu Zetian's mood at the moment.

Then next, Qin Shaoyou can realize that happiness comes so quickly.

Wu Zetian looked at the ministers who had fallen to the ground, her face was cold, but she still looked at the old man named Cui Gong: "I remembered one more thing." The corner of her eye glanced at Qin Shaoyou before continuing: "Qin Shaoyou has meritorious service in supervising school, and the court should reward and punish clearly, so what does the Qing family think should be?" ”

The old man was silent.

The Holy Emperor wanted to force him to comply.

And now, the Guozi priest wine has been convicted and punished, Qin Shaoyou is rising, and the innovation of the four sects has taken effect, and at this time, the Holy Emperor is mostly pushing the boat down the river to carry out the idea of carrying out the innovation to the end.

Thinking of this, this 'Cui Gong' eyes sank, and he sighed faintly, in fact, he really didn't want to have a showdown, after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and who wants to turn against the Son of Heaven unless it is absolutely necessary.

It's just that......

This Cui Gong is from the Cui family of Qinghe, and the family has lasted for hundreds of years, and is recognized as the highest family in the world and the head of the northern wealthy family. What the people present didn't know was that it was this Cui clan who had twenty-nine prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone. Now the head of the Cui family in Qinghe is now the Cui Jing who is now the head of the family with the Fengge Luantai Pingzhang, this person's reputation is not obvious, but in the Fengge, Luantai, Shangshu Province and other centers are the most famous, the Cui family has produced three prime ministers so far, as for Shangshu, there are countless servants, not to mention the children of other branches, I don't know how many have served in the local government.

This family has gone through hundreds of years, no matter who is in charge of the dynasty is a high-ranking official, when the Sui Dynasty, the reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty lost the world, but also violated the interests of the Li family, the Cui family, the Wang family and other gate valves, and finally the Li family raised an army, the world, these people are also the biggest heroes.

At the same time, these people are very strong, how strong are they?

When Taizong was there, he ordered Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and others to compile the "Clan Chronicles". Gao Shilian and others actively carried out their work in line with a realistic and pragmatic attitude, dividing the families in the world into long-term and waiting, and finally sorting, and the five major clans of "Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wang" were among the best. Tang Taizong read the first draft, quite confused and annoyed, as the Li family of the royal family, actually only ranked third, so he lost his temper at Gao Shilian and others: "The Cui family has long been weakened, why is it listed as the first, is my Li family as the son of heaven, is it not as good as the Cui family" "I really don't understand why the four surnames in Shandong are self-conscious, and why is the world important!" In order to maintain the glory of the royal family, Tang Taizong used political power to intervene and ordered a reorder, "with the royal family as the head, the relatives second, and Cui Mingan as the third." ”

But even so, although Tang Taizong regained face, it can be seen that the influence of the Cui family at that time can be seen.

Their strength, even Wu Zetian couldn't help but be jealous.

Cui Jing can actually accept Wu Zetian, but he can't tolerate Wu Zetian's innovation, because he knows better than anyone that once His Majesty pushes the boat down the river, then does the Son of Heaven still need to rely on the gate valve to rule the world?

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "Sage, Qin Shaoyou has meritorious service, and the minister thinks that he can be awarded the county man to show his wealth." ”

County Male ......

The county man is the title of the Great Zhou, and on the whole, he belongs to the lowest level of nobles, and from the point of view of grade, it is from the fifth grade. Cui Jing suddenly proposed that Qin Shaoyou be knighted, which made people stunned.

But soon, everyone understood.

Qin Shaoyou can be rewarded for his merits, but he can only be a dignitary, but he can't be promoted, because once he is promoted, it means that the achievements of the four disciplines are affirmed, and Qin Shaoyou will have greater rights, so what about after that......

So...... Cui Jing chose a compromise method, gave Qin Shaoyou an iron rice bowl, and raised him in captivity, of course, it is impossible to be a school official, and he has to be arched high and hold an 'important position' in the army or other places.

Wu Zetian was just a waner, but he looked at Qin Shaoyou sideways and said, "What does Qin Qing think?" ”

Bribery, this is naked bribery! This surnamed Cui is really sinister, he actually wants to knight himself, and I don't know how much land he will be granted when the time comes, maybe the whim of the surname Cui, and then marry a side child to himself, and then let himself eat and wait for death, and use this corrupt and erosive life to consume his will.

But...... Qin Shaoyou found that he liked it a lot, and it seemed to be very good.

Qin Shaoyou suddenly twisted a little, and after a long time, he said, "Everything is subject to the Holy Emperor." ”

A faint smile tugged at Wu Zetian's lips, and said, "Qin Shaoyou has meritorious service and deserves to be promoted, why should he be knighted?" He is a scholar after all, and it is unreasonable to be knighted. In my opinion, let's go to doctorate. ”

This is a very relaxed sentence, and even Wu Zetian said it in a joking way.

But Cui Jing's face changed.

He took a deep breath and said: "Sage, although there is a Qin Shaoyou in the four disciplines, there are some achievements, but this achievement is just arithmetic after all, the minister is not saying that arithmetic is not important, but the Qi family governs the country, and history is the right way." The method of these four disciplines must not be rashly extended, and the ministers see that the school rules set by Taizong are very good, and there is no need for change, so why take the risk of trying. The old minister knew that His Majesty wanted Qin Shaoyou to be a doctor, in order to promote new learning, but the old minister asked His Majesty to think twice. ”

His words were full of sincerity, but he had insight into Wu Zetian's thoughts and directly objected to them.

Finally, there was a showdown.

Wu Zetian smiled and said: "I see, there is nothing wrong with it, at least the arithmetic of the four schools is second to none, but why does the Qing family think that the scriptures and history of the four schools will be bad?" Isn't the cultivation of talents in the country the first priority of cultivating the talents of students? ”

Cui Jing shook his head and said: "Sage, no matter how good you are, if you don't match your virtues, it may become the source of trouble, and most of the lecturers hired by the four schools are of mixed quality, even if you can cultivate talents, but how can you educate virtue?" ”

Wu Zetian was silent for a while, talking about her tongue, where is she Cui Jing's opponent.

But Qin Shaoyou had a bitter face, hey, is it okay to be reasonable, I was still studying my promotion and knighthood, why did I move to another place all of a sudden?

After a long time, Wu Zetian said with a little annoyance: "There is nothing wrong with innovation, since it is effective, it should be extended." ”

Cui Jing sighed and said: "Sage, the current school rules were first published in the Qin and Han dynasties, and although they have been repeatedly deleted since then, there has been no major innovation, sage can know why?" This is because governing a big country is like cooking a small thing, and the matter of education is the most important thing, so how can we rashly change our course, the most important thing in academic affairs is to seek stability, and there is nothing wrong with sticking to the old ways. ”

Wu Zetian couldn't help but say: "Then what about Shang Ying's change?"

Cui Jing looked directly at Wu Zetian: "Where did the Qin State go after the change?" ”

Wu Zetian frowned, the reason why she wanted to change was that she was afraid that the current factors also accounted for a very important reason, the court was full of gate valves and door valves' proud protégés, these people monopolized all educational resources, and at the same time, because their cultural level also indirectly monopolized the right to interpret all scriptures and history.

This kind of debate between monarchs and ministers alone doesn't even need the ministers to rush up, and Cui Jing alone can directly crush Wu Zetian to death.

Wu Zetian always felt that this was wrong, but he was short of words.

Cui Jing smiled faintly and continued with a pleasant face: "Sage, if there is no Shang Ying's change, maybe the Qin State can last for a thousand years. Zi said: Three hundred poems, in a word, said: Thinking is innocent. What does this mean? This is to tell you that the purpose of the remarks in the Book of Songs is to make people's thoughts pure and upright, and not to produce evil and deviant elements. In the eyes of the sage, the previous school rules are conservative, but at least they are correct, and once they are innovated and deviated, then at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it. ”

"......" Wu Zetian was completely defeated.

Compared with Cui Jing, she couldn't even be called an opponent, she was a little annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't have a seizure, and then she looked around and saw Qin Shaoyou, so she couldn't help but say: "Qin Shaoyou, what do you think?" ”

The ministers in the palace knew that His Majesty was going to rescue the troops.

But everyone couldn't help laughing, Cui Jing is not only Zaifu, but also a well-known debater in Hebei, when he was young, he was known for his tongue, but the sage pulled a Qin Shaoyou out to be a rescuer, this hairy boy, I am afraid that Cui Gong is not worthy of carrying shoes
