"The edict said, Zhang Chao, the palace servant, is fair and honest, and ...... is specially moved to the right as a doctor of the four disciplines, and is in charge of the four schools."

With this decree, Zhang Chao was appointed as a doctor of the four disciplines, and then took the place of the emperor to manage the four disciplines. This appointment can be regarded as a small promotion to the official position, because Zhang Chao can be said to have saved the Tang Dynasty this time, and Li Shimin, the emperor, gave Zhang Chao a promotion to the title of Marquis of Weinan County, which can be regarded as becoming a marquis. However, the official offices must also be promoted, so Zhang Chao was appointed as a doctor of four disciplines, compared with the original palace servant Yu Shi, although he is still a seven-rank official, but he has been promoted from the seventh rank to the seventh grade, which is considered to be two small levels. However, everyone also feels that Zhang Chao has made rapid progress, and it took less than five years from his entry into the Tang Dynasty officialdom to becoming a seven-rank official. This is like a civil servant who has just entered the career in the future to become a county magistrate in less than five years, which is simply fast, enough to make many people envious.

Don't think that it is easy to be promoted like a novel, and it is easy to get three or four grades, but in fact, although there may be such people, most of them are the second generation of officials in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, those official positions are all power, which is not very interesting, don't look at those second-generation officials who have just started out with five grades, but it is difficult for them to get real jobs. Many of them are high-ranking official positions, but they do not have much real power. That's because they haven't gotten out yet, so it's naturally impossible for their son to become a high-ranking official. According to the rules of officialdom, it is difficult for a son to become a high-ranking official until the father retires at the top. Otherwise, if the father and son are also high-level, then I am afraid that the next country will be opened by themselves.

Zhang Chao, a doctor of seven grades and four disciplines, is a good transfer officer, as long as he can be a year or two, then he can try to serve in a different position. However, the Four Gates Society is a good place to accumulate power. More than 1,000 students in the four schools are all children of poor families, and they can all be focused on training. These people will all be Zhang Chao's students in the future, and Zhang Chao can use them as his reserve. Even if only one-tenth can enter the officialdom, it is a huge force.

"Before I take office, I should do one thing first!" Zhang Chao thought.

Soon, in the restaurant in Chang'an. Zhang Chao began to take the initiative to entertain some people.

And Zhang Chao took the initiative to say: "Teachers, thanks to your teachings, if it weren't for your teachings, I wouldn't be where I am today, so this table of thin wine can be regarded as some of my meager respect for several teachers." Please also ask a few teachers not to blame. ”

These "teachers" in front of them are all the low-level teachers who directly taught Zhang Chao when Zhang Chao was in the four schools, and they have no official positions, they are all ordinary teaching staff. However, they are the ones who are actually responsible for teaching Zhang Chao. So Zhang Chao is now coming over to "thank the teacher" immediately. Zhang Chao was admitted to the imperial examination a few years ago and did not hold any thank-you banquet, but now he will come to hold a thank-you banquet a few years later.

Zhang Chao does not deny that he is a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and he is uneasy and kind!

"Dr. Zhang, I will call you Dr. Zhang in the future!" A teacher said.

And Zhang Chao immediately hurriedly said: "Teacher Yang, how embarrassed am I!" I am your student, and you have worked hard to teach me. Why am I afraid to move? Therefore, the kindness of all teachers is unforgettable. I would like to toast you all! ”

Zhang Chao took the wine glass, and then took the initiative to toast.

"Yes! I really didn't expect that Feng Shui took turns, and I really didn't expect that the student who was sparse and ordinary in academics at the beginning would one day come to our four disciplines as a doctor and take charge of the four studies. Right now. The students of that year became our governors, and it was really fateful! A "teacher" surnamed Zhu said.

These "teachers" also sighed, obviously feeling embarrassed, their students would return to their "alma mater" as the principal, it has only been a few years! It's been less than five years. Back then, his students all returned to their alma mater to become principals, and he was still an ordinary faculty member, how could he not be embarrassed? At the beginning, Zhang Chao left a deep impression on everyone, but it was not profound. Zhang Chao only knew the Confucianism taught by the four schools, but he didn't know why, and he memorized it by rote, but in fact, he couldn't understand it all in his heart.

Zhang Chao's grades in the four schools were sparse and ordinary, but he was later admitted to the imperial examination. Because Zhang Chao participated in the Jinshi course, not the Ming Classics course, the Jinshi course was assessed on practical strategies, not on what scriptures were assessed. Therefore, Zhang Chao, like countless students, forgot all the things in the school as soon as he graduated, and he didn't know where to lose them. Zhang Chao is not a rotten Confucian, let alone a nerd, he didn't remember those tattered thoughts, so when he comes back to be the "principal" now, the first thing is to feast on his teacher back then.

"I will never forget the kindness of several teachers to me back then. In the future, please help the students together, and the students will definitely ask the teachers for advice! Zhang Chao said "sincerely".

And those "teachers" were also full of joy in their hearts, obviously feeling extremely excited about this. Although they feel a little embarrassed, their students will come to be this "principal" back then, but isn't this an opportunity? If his own students come back to be the principal, won't the teacher who taught directly back then also get benefits? When the time comes, isn't it the right thing to do with a promotion and a raise? Maybe you can use the power of the students back then to get an official position for yourself!

And the reason why Zhang Chao is so "sincere" is that he actually regards them as an important means to help him sort out his relationship. I just joined the Four Schools, and I belong to the kind of "airborne cadres" in the Four Schools, and the people who come airborne from the outside must not know much about the environment inside. So if you can have someone to help you, of course, that's great. As for the people who help them understand, who else can there be besides the teachers they used to be? And after his "airborne cadre" entered the four schools, the first batch of cronies and subordinates could also have them, that is, these teachers of the year. With such a good relationship, wouldn't it be a fool not to take advantage of that? Therefore, these teachers can become their subordinates in the future, and as the first batch of cronies, they can be placed in the four schools.

"Since Zhang Chao is so capable, then we as gentlemen are also glorious! In the future, Zhang Chao, if you have any needs in the four disciplines, we can also help you. As a teacher, help the students. That's all as it should be! Teacher Yang said.

Zhang Chao also took the initiative to repay the favor, saying: "All the teachers are profound and knowledgeable people. In the future, I think the court should pay attention to it, and I think that in the future, we should give some better treatment to the teachers, and even be able to obtain official positions, so that the teachers can be reused by the court! ”

And the teachers were all smiling. And then apparently both sides are very satisfied.

"Oops, my teeth are sore!" Zhang Chao thought in his heart.

Zhang Chao is just using each other with these "teachers" in his heart, and they all add disgust to each other. In fact, in his bones, Zhang Chao didn't really regard these "teachers" as his own teachers, and the other party actually didn't regard himself as a real student, and the affection between them was actually very weak. Zhang Chao and them are actually just using each other, and Zhang Chao uses them to help him manage the four disciplines. Let yourself, an airborne cadre, be able to effectively manage these four disciplines. On the other hand, these "teachers" also hope to be able to use Zhang Chao, the "principal" of the four schools, to get a promotion and a salary increase, and even an official position. They are just a kind of relationship between Chiguoguo and each other in the officialdom, and they don't have much teacher-student affection.

It's not that Zhang Chao is cold, but that's the case. These teachers of the four schools all regard their students as their own bargaining chips for promotion, and then they teach students not really to teach students, but to gain political capital for their own promotion. And why do these students of the Four Disciplines come to the Four Studies? They don't really learn for anything, they learn very little thinking. They came to the Four Sects to study. There is only one reason, they want to come and get the recommended places of the four schools.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were actually several imperial examination processes, and candidates were allocated examination places by the central government to each state capital, and then students from each state and county took the first examination, and then passed the examination before they could get the opportunity to go to the central government for a unified examination. This is actually the central government allocating the quota to the locality, and then the local candidates compete for the examination quota. And every place will attach great importance to this quota, just like those high-level schools in later generations have guaranteed quotas, and many people have crossed the sea in order to obtain this quota - each showing their magical powers.

However, in addition to the guaranteed places in various places, the Tang Dynasty also has a large number of places for the official schools of the central government, Guozijian, Taixue, and Simenxue. The four schools of Guozi Jian Taixue have at least half of the total number of places. The students of these schools are only more than 1,000 people, and they can get half of the total number of places. But elsewhere there are tens of thousands of students. But he was only able to fight for the remaining half of the recommended places. It is conceivable that more than 1,000 people are divided into places, and which one is better for tens of thousands of people to grab places. Therefore, those outstanding candidates have sharpened their heads and fought for the four disciplines of Guozi Eunuch Study. However, Guozijian and Taixue are both places for the second generation of officials to study, and ordinary people can't get in. However, the four schools can be read to the children of the poor families, so that they also hope to pass the four schools and then get these places.

Therefore, those students are rushing to the quota to "study" in the four courses, who will really regard these teachers of the four courses as real "teachers"! The teachers of these four schools and the students are all in a relationship of mutual use, although there is a teacher-student relationship, but in their bones they are just using each other. In the eyes of ordinary students, these teachers of the four disciplines cannot be compared with the enlightenment teachers, let alone those teachers who really teach them. So it is conceivable how much respect Zhang Chao, a person who came out of the Four Sects, has in his bones for these teachers.

For Zhang Chao, the four schools are like the party schools of later generations. In later generations, many officials were sent to study at party schools before they were ready to be promoted. However, the symbolic significance of this study is far greater than the practical significance, and many officials who go to the party school to study rarely attend the lectures, and the teachers of those party schools seldom give serious lectures, because they are useless when they do, and few of them will listen carefully. There are even leaks that the leader simply asks the secretary to go to class to take notes, and finally asks the secretary to take the exam during the exam.

As for the teachers in the party schools, few of those officials will really regard them as their "mentors." These teachers are not really the ones who teach them knowledge, and none of them can help them in their future, so why should they be regarded as "teachers"? For this kind of "teacher", it is only necessary to have the necessary respect. There is no need for anything to be respected as a father as those legends say.

For Zhang Chao, "teacher" is not the same as his father. The ancients said that one day is a teacher and a father for life, and that is conditional. The ancient teachers and students represent that the apprentice is the successor of the master's mantle, and will inherit the master's career and relationship network in the future. There are even a few who inherit the master's inheritance. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient land is the heir of the Master, and it is not an exaggeration to regard the Master as the father in this case. However, these teachers of the four disciplines are the same as the teachers of later generations, but they regard this teaching as a profession and a means to seek political interests for themselves, and they do not have a high heart for educating students. Students do not come to the four schools to study, but simply to "gild" for their future development, so there is no need to regard them as too sacred people. Therefore, Zhang Chao also treated him with the same thinking as a teacher of later generations. Although it will not be too rude to him, it is just necessary to maintain the necessary respect. But if Zhang Chao wants to treat them like a father, it is impossible. Zhang Chao didn't use their network to achieve success in his career, and none of them were able to help Zhang Chao get too much, and they didn't even teach Zhang Chao anything, just a nominal teacher, so Zhang Chao didn't need to treat them as "fathers".

As for many teachers in later generations, they still think that one day is a teacher and a father for life, this kind of thinking is actually very wrong. Your students don't inherit your career, network, or legacy. You also just think of teaching students as a profession, a profession for survival and your own future. You don't think of your students as your heirs, so why do you ask them to treat you as your "father"? Power and duty are relative, giving and receiving are also conserved, you have not fulfilled a duty to cultivate students as heirs, so students are not obliged to respect you as a "father".

"Dr. Zhang, this time you came to our four disciplines as a doctor. And in charge of these four disciplines, but some people are not very happy! Teacher Yang said.

"Oh? What's going on? Zhang Chao asked.

Teacher Yang replied: "Actually, it's very simple, the one who has an opinion on you this time is a doctor in the four disciplines, and he has always been the person who was elected by everyone to manage the four studies. Originally, the four schools studied this kind of place. The princes of the imperial court looked down on them, so we have always elected a doctor to manage it, and everything can only be carried out after all the doctors discuss and approve it. But when you came, ......"

Zhang Chao understood that he came to this four-door study, but it moved everyone's cake. If the four schools in the past adopted the so-called professor-run model, then the current four schools are the principal responsibility system. If there are several ways to manage a university, one is the president's responsibility system, the other is the management of the school manager, and the last one is the professor's management of the university. In fact, these models were widely used in later generations, but people in ancient times were not stupid. In fact, the management method of the four disciplines in the past is actually the method of "professors governing the school", which is discussed by six doctors of the four disciplines, and then everyone forms a deliberative body to manage. As for Guo Zijian, the top boss of Simenxue, he did not object to this. Because the four schools are for the poor to study, not the second generation of princelings, they don't care too much, and everyone treats the four schools as chicken ribs.

But after Zhang Chao came, Zhang Chao was clearly designated by Li Shimin's edict as the trustee of the four schools, so Zhang Chao came over with the "Shang Fang Sword", so that the doctors of the four schools also sat on wax. After this edict, it is from the past professors to the current principal responsibility system, all of which are in charge of Zhang Chao. This makes them feel that they have changed from "masters" to slaves, how can they easily accept it?

However, they had to be forced to accept it, because the four schools were actually an official school, which was invested and built by the government, and all of them were funded and funded by the imperial court. Whether it is the righteousness of the monarch or the financial support of the school, it is inseparable from the support of the imperial court and government, otherwise they will not be able to survive at all. Now the "school director" of the imperial court wants to change the management mode of the school, so that those "professors" can still resist? The ownership of this school is all owned by the imperial court, what right do they have to stop the refusal? Whether it is the righteousness of the monarch or economic reasons, it is impossible for them to resist.

"Hey, where is there an official who should not offend people. If you rob other people of their rights, they will naturally have opinions about you. Zhang Chao thought.

The leader of his own airborne science has robbed those four doctors of science and technology, so they naturally have opinions about themselves. But Zhang Chao is naturally not afraid, because he knows that he has robbed other people's positions, and he still doesn't allow others to have opinions about you? So Zhang Chao knows that others have opinions about him, which is understandable from the heart. But even if you can understand them in your heart, you still have to do what you should do, and you can't change it because of the other party's attitude. This is also politics, and there is no absolute right or wrong in political matters, only whether it is in line with one's own interests and political ideas. In order to realize one's political ideals, one must use all means to exclude those who disagree.

Therefore, although the doctors in these four disciplines have opinions about themselves, Zhang Chao must also suppress them. However, because I was able to communicate with these "teachers" in advance, I knew the situation in these four schools in advance. Being able to know the situation in the four schools in advance means that you can prepare in advance. This is also the benefit of these internal people, who can inquire about the news through these teachers in advance.

If there are no "teachers" in it, then I am afraid it will be very difficult to know the situation inside. Although Zhang Chao came out of the four schools, when you are just a student, you are not a teacher or a school leader. From the student's point of view, the school is different from the teacher's point of view, and this is why many students from normal universities in later generations have to go back to elementary school to see how elementary school students attend classes. Looking horizontally, the side of the ridge is a peak, and the height is different from far and near, which is the truth. Different identities make you see different things. It's like when students go to college in later generations, the leaders and teachers of those schools will not take the initiative to talk to the students about the leadership of the school, right? No matter how much the leadership in the university fights for power and profit, it will not directly involve the students, nor will it directly force the students to stand in line. The fight between teachers in the school has nothing to do with the students, and it is impossible for the teachers to implicate the students in their own fights. Students don't know a lot about the battles between school leaders, and even if they do, they don't know what they are. Therefore, although Zhang Chao was a student of the four schools back then, he came for a short time, and he naturally didn't know the problems from the perspective of a student. So he had to have someone who was familiar with the internal situation to tell him about the situation, and these teachers who taught him back then were also very good choices.

"It seems that I, the 'junior' of the 'junior' entering the four schools, must find a 'teacher' to worship the flag. However, will it be a bit 'disrespectful for my teacher' to do so? Zhang Chao hummed in his heart.

Zhang Chao knew that when he entered the four schools this time, he was afraid that he would have to attack his "teacher" back then, but he was helpless about this. Because the struggle for power does not tolerate the teacher-student relationship, once the teacher-student relationship faces the power struggle, it is nothing. Not to mention teachers and students, brothers, fathers and sons are not wrong in the face of power, so teachers and students are nothing. Since Zhang Chao became an official and entered politics, he only has interests and his own future political ideals in his eyes, and the relationship between teachers and students can only be put second. Anyone who influences his future political ideals, even his own teacher, will be kicked in the foot. (To be continued......)
