"Your Majesty, Yanzhou Jiedu made Liu Chengqi ask for an audience, do you see it or not?" Xiao Shunzi walked up to Zhao Zhen and asked in a low voice.

"This guy, I didn't recruit him, he also ran back by himself, since he has come, let him come to meet!"

"Whoa!"

After a while, Xiao Shunzi walked in with an old man in his fifties.

"The old minister knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" When Liu Chengqi saw Zhao Zhen, he kowtowed very obediently.

"Get up! I'm all old, and I can't enjoy the blessings well, what's the matter with running so far away? ”

"Back to the emperor, the old minister returned to Beijing without being called, and asked the emperor to forgive his sins, but the old minister has important things to come back to report to you."

"Oh, what's important? I have to bother Aiqing to travel thousands of miles and get tired, let's hear it......"

"Lao Chen recently read the Times, and I know that the emperor intends to promote the new school, but you have encountered many constraints. The old minister knew that this was all the Xianyuan County Commander Kong Yuanlu was making an obstruction, and he was afraid that the new society would replace Confucianism, so he deliberately embarrassed His Majesty. The old minister has persuaded him many times, but he still insists on going his own way, and the old minister has no choice but to make this decision, please forgive the emperor! After Liu Chengqi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground again, perhaps out of fear or guilt, or even excitement, making his body tremble.

"Hurry up, I am very pleased that you can care so hard about the king's affairs! I will find out what you said, it just so happens that the Xianyuan County Decree is on the way to Beijing, and everything will be clear by then, you don't have to worry. Since they have all arrived in the capital, they will go back for a few more days. Xiao Shunzi, arrange it for him! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao Shunzi answered, turned around and waved to Liu Chengqi, and said, "Liu Lao, please!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Chengqi hurriedly thanked him.

Liu Chengqi followed behind Xiao Shunzi, walked out of the hall respectfully, and when he arrived in a place where there were few people, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Shunzi, and a piece of silver fell into his hands without a trace.

"Old Liu, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Shunzi checked the silver nuggets in his hand, not to mention a dozen or two, which is amazing, and it is almost enough to catch up with the allowance from half a year.

"Don't dare to be, you are a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the old man also went out of the palace, this rule is still understood, this is a little bit of filial piety to you, and I hope you will say a few good words for me in front of the emperor, and there will be a recompense in the future." Liu Chengqi had a flattering expression on his face, but he couldn't tell what he thought in his heart: If the role of a eunuch like Xiao Shunzi is not seen by himself in normal times, although he is also a eunuch, we are cultured people. Now, who made him a big celebrity in front of the saint, there is a way, the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult to entangle, the big husband can bend and stretch, he is talking about the old man!

"You're always trying to hurt me! Get this thing back. Xiao Shunzi said and stuffed the silver in his hand into Liu Chengqi's hand.

"Isn't that too little? Then you can open a number! ”

"Look at it like this, Liu Lao has made a lot of money over the years!" Xiao Shunzi joked.

"Where, where, it's not as good as you, the old decay is an idle job without real power, this is just a little filial piety from the people below!" Liu Chengqi bowed and said modestly.

"Our family sees that you have been away from the palace for too long, you may not understand the rules now, but the saint today pays great attention to integrity, and today I will accept your special product, and tomorrow our family will have to go to the first emperor to guard the spirit." You're still honest, don't hurt our family. "After more than ten years of companionship, if you want to say who knows Zhao Zhen best, he must be the only one. It is said that the son Mo Ruomu is really not accurate in this huge palace.

"This ...... You see, if you don't say it, I won't say it, God knows that you know and I know, but the Holy One will not know. Liu Chengqi regarded his resignation as hypocrisy, after all, a slut is hypocrisy, and he knows it by himself, so he still spares no effort to show how "good" he is.

"Hehehe! Who is the Holy One! That's the heaven of our Great Song Dynasty, what else does the sky not know? You say yes! ”

"Yes, yes......" As soon as there is a ghost in people's hearts, they are easy to be suspicious, Liu Chengqi is like this at the moment, Xiao Shunzi's unintentional words sounded like he was torturing himself, and he only responded with a weak heart.

"Okay, the place has arrived, you can live here for this time! Something will go first. ”

"Slow down, Steward!"

On the official road from Xianyuan County to the capital, a carriage was escorted by several knights, and the wind and dust wanted to rush to the capital, and a pair of fathers and sons sat opposite each other in the carriage.

"Father, you said that the Holy Lord recruited you to Beijing this time, is that right?" The young Kong Shengyou looked a little panicked, although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it from his father opposite.

"I don't know if I'm a father, it's unpredictable!" Kong Daofu sighed.

"Father, the child thinks it's not so pessimistic, do you think that aside from the current status of the Holy School, this time in Beijing, isn't the Holy Lord still using it? The child guessed that the Holy One must have wanted to reach some kind of compromise! Kong Shengyou comforted his father, perhaps more comforting himself.

"Perhaps! None of this matters, for my father these days to calmly think back, in fact, what we did at the beginning was not appropriate. Not to mention that the Holy One has not yet made a clear statement, we are panicked, which shows that we ourselves lack confidence, and we should believe that the Holy School is orthodox and not afraid of challenges. Taking a step back, even if the Holy One is really dissatisfied with the Holy Learning, we should also admonish it in a righteous and bright manner, and it is really shameful for our generation to act behind the scenes like this. This is a lesson that you should remember later! Kong Daofu said solemnly to his son.

"Yes, father, the child must remember the teachings!"

At the same time, Zhao Zhen didn't have time to care what they wanted, because he was busy discussing issues with several mothers about the Salesian Bureau. In fact, in the Song Dynasty, there was already a prototype of the welfare institute, that is, this Salesian Bureau, which was basically half official and half civilian in nature, and the implementation of the situation in various places was entirely based on the will of heaven. Zhao Zhen accidentally learned that there was still this institution in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he felt that it was worthy of the unprecedented development of civilization in the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly discussed with several mothers and asked them to come forward to take over this work, increase investment and guidance in the Salesian Bureau, and go to various places from time to time to offer condolences. This kind of trick, which has been tried and tested by countless politicians, is a trick at this time.

In this way, the Queen Mother, in the name of benevolence, can not only play a leading role in national charity, but also go out to see the scenery of various places justifiably. You must know that in ancient times, it was not easy to enter the palace, and it was even more difficult to leave the palace, especially when the identity of the queen mother was the most embarrassing. Since ancient times, ** has been a representative of all kinds of intrigues, not without reason, it may be a group of "imprisoned" people to pass the time to make various incidents.

Zhao Zhen borrowed from the model of the welfare institute in later generations, and called on people with good intentions to contribute money and efforts with the government as the background. Not only did the imperial court increase investment, but it also attracted the attention of the people. It took him a lot of time to teach them the practices he had come from later generations, and of course, it took a lot of time and energy to get them used to the kind of mother of the country policy in later generations.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen deeply felt that he was a copycat porter, people moved bricks, he was moving ideas and ideas, but fortunately, no one dared to say that he was infringing now.

Finally solved this matter, Zhao Zhen dragged his tired body back to his palace, and at this moment he deeply felt how much he needed someone who could have a common language to communicate. "This generation gap spanning thousands of years is tiring to communicate!" Zhao Zhen unconsciously slandered in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is the information you want about Liu Chengqi, the envoy of the Yanzhou Festival, please take a look!" Zhao Zhong came out when he saw Zhao Zhen coming back, and he didn't care about Zhao Zhen's resentful eyes.

"Let it go, I'll see in a while, you go down first!"

"Yes," Zhao Zhong put down the piece and disappeared quietly.

Zhao Zhen soothed his stiff body, walked to the table and took the chapter to look at it carefully, and when he saw Liu Chengqi and Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei befriending him, he suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "I just said that it is a little familiar, it turns out that these five ghosts are not dead yet!" Careless bird, it shouldn't be! ”

Thinking of this, combined with the intelligence of the secret saucer investigation, Zhao Zhen felt that he had guessed this matter very well, and it was good to watch too many suspense dramas, the director knew everything he wanted, he was bored, so he better sleep.

Kong Daofu's father and son hurried slowly, and it took nearly half a month to finally arrive in Beijing, and after freshening up, they went to the palace under the leadership of Jinyiwei.

"Weichen (student) knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Kong Daofu's father and son saw Zhao Zhen, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Flatten! I feel very guilty for bothering the two of you to travel a long way to see me, but I feel that there are some things that I still have to communicate with Aiqing in person, I hope I don't blame me! Zhao Zhen said with a smile, trying to restrain his light, so as not to scare the children opposite.

"The minister doesn't dare, the saint beckons each other, and the minister is deeply honored!" Kong Daofu hurriedly returned, thinking that he couldn't let people find his stubble at this time.

"You don't have to be nervous, I deliberately chose to meet the two of you in this imperial garden today, just to discuss this sacred study and new learning with the two of you, and everyone put aside their prejudices and talk about it!" Zhao Zhen didn't have time to grind foreign workers, so he said straight to the point.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Come on, sit down, it's not easy for me to talk to you like this, I have to look up so tired!" In order to dispel their concerns, Zhao Zhen deliberately made himself more relaxed.

"Emperor Xie!" Kong Daofu still bowed before pulling his son to sit down.

"I first affirm that today we will discuss this sacred study and the new study, and you can tell me directly if you have anything, and I will forgive you for your innocence."

"Thank you for the emperor's love, I don't know ...... emperor"

"Okay, I'm going to make a start, I think you all know that this new learning was brought by me, and there are rumors that I want to start a new school, and you must have heard of it. By the way, speaking of this, I want to tell you a piece of news, Yanzhou Jiedu made Liu Chengqi return to Beijing a few days ago. Zhao Zhen didn't seem to care about it, and casually mentioned it.

When Kong Daofu heard Liu Chengqi's name, his face changed a lot, and finally he stood up and knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Zhao Zhen a few times before saying: "Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty, and the ministers are bewitched by selfish desires, inciting the students of the world to fight against the saints, and if you don't investigate for a while, you will almost be in a catastrophe, please ask the emperor to condemn!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't listen to my father, I did it secretly, my father wants to excuse me, if you want to punish me, punish me! Please! Kong Shengyou also hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted while kowtowing.

"Alright, alright, all up! When did I say I would blame you? Zhao Zhen looked at the performance of the two, and was still quite relieved in his heart, at least the people of this era are much stronger than later generations in terms of personality, dare to act, and have commendable filial piety.

"Criminals (students)...... Thank you! The two shouted excitedly.

"I have found out what happened, although you are all at fault, but it is mainly provoked by others, I will let that person go to guard the spirit of my father, so you don't have to mind. Besides, this matter is not as serious as you think, everything is under my control, and I just want to see where you can go. Zhao Zhen still said very plainly.

"Confession!"

"Alright, let's get back to today's topic. I can tell you very clearly that this new school will definitely be prosperous, but this does not mean that the new school can take the place of the holy school, so you should put a hundred hearts. I have said before that the merit of the new study lies in doing practical things, while the merit of the sacred study lies in educating people, and the emphasis of the two is different, and both are very important, so why can't we integrate the two and learn from each other's strengths? ”

"Then I don't know what the Holy One means?" Kong Daofu tried to ask.

"I have an idea, you can think about it, I remember that the sacred study is also supplemented and improved by many generations to have today's status, the sacred study should have the momentum of tolerance and tolerance, and continuous improvement is the truth of social development, otherwise it will be eliminated if it stagnates, what do you think?"

"That's what the emperor said."

Therefore, the next time will depend on your father and son, and it is your task to incorporate the new learning into the system of sacred learning. I am telling you about my thoughts on education in the future, I plan to divide the entire education process into three stages: primary school, middle school and university, the main content of primary school is sacred learning, so that children can know how to behave from an early age, so the function of sacred learning in this area should be strengthened, and the bad points in sacred learning, you should also correct it as soon as possible.

The content of the new school will be added slowly at the junior high school level, and the new school will be studied separately at the university level. Although the content of the sacred study will accompany the whole educational process, I can tell you very responsibly that the power of this new study is very strong, and the children who learn the new study will be very critical, so you must improve the sacred study yourself, but you must not let them grasp the handle of the sacred learning, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! ”

"Wechen keep in mind the teachings of the Holy Lord!"

"I know that this is a very huge project, and it is impossible for you father and son alone to complete it, so I have awarded you a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy, and I am responsible for convening all the people of the national sacred studies to discuss together, eliminate the miscellaneous essence, and promote a new type of sacred learning. The Xianyuan County Order will be taken over by your son! Young people, filial piety is commendable, do a good job! When he said this, he completely ignored that he was now younger than others.

"Thank you for your kindness, and vow to spend your life to complete this great and arduous task!" Kong Daofu blushed with excitement, after all, this kind of famous thing is precious.

"It is not easy to inherit the sacred science for so many generations, I am optimistic about you! Go down and prepare! ”

"Obey the order!" Kong Daofu saluted respectfully before leaving the palace with his son.

"Father, how strange does a child feel! You see, the Holy One said that he called us to discuss, but after a few words, we forgot our original intention. When he came to the outside of the palace, Kong Shengyou couldn't help but say to his father.

"The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven! No matter how young we are, we can't compare with ordinary people like us. Don't you see that the Holy One has everything in control from the beginning, but he just wants to borrow our hands to achieve the goals he wants, and in the end we have to drill into the circle of the Holy One. ”

"Really!" Kong Shengyou thought for a while and said, "But it's not bad to be happy like this!" ”

"Yes...... Hahaha! ”

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
