"The minister Zheng Xuanyi played the emperor, and the minister impeached Zhang Chao for changing the official system of the court without authorization, and set up the so-called honorary doctors and honorary teaching assistants without authorization, which is actually tampering with the official system of the imperial court. And the implementation of the so-called credit system, so that students began to concentrate on studying, busy going outside to do things, this is not the way to study. And Zhang Chao allowed students to carry their own teachers, which was really a deception to the teachers and destroy the ancestors. Please ask the emperor to severely punish Zhang Chao, so that the world can respect teachers and education, and let students all over the world study seriously. Moreover, this credit system is really a great harm, and I also ask the emperor to order that any academy in my Datang Dynasty will prohibit the use of the credit system in the future. If a college uses the credit system without authorization, all of them will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. This kind of credit system is really ......"

Zheng Xuanyi began to impeach Zhang Chao according to the previous plan, apparently hoping that Li Shimin could severely punish Zhang Chao and then abolish the credit system. However, what is interesting is that Zheng Xuanyi used a lot of words to explain the "harm" of this credit system, as if if this credit system is continued, I am afraid that it will be a country in the world, and it will cause a period of turmoil. Zheng Xuanyi vigorously criticized this credit system, and many criticized the credit system as a worthless thing, and finally he asked Li Shimin to order a ban on the use of the credit system, which made Li Shimin order that whoever dares to use the credit system in the Tianxia Academy in the future must be severely punished.

"Hmph, these warriors, it seems that they really can't sit still!" Li Shimin sneered in his heart.

Can Li Shimin not know that these scholars are deliberately attacking this credit system and want to ban it. Zheng Xuanyi is just a pawn who came out to take the lead, and the real big man did not appear, but Zheng Xuanyi, a pawn, was excluded to test Li Shimin. Of course, Li Shimin knows that the last person who wants to implement the credit system is this scholar, and this credit system Li Shimin certainly knows that it is a good thing, which can further reduce the cost of education. In the past, the education model was all class formation, and it was all completely off-the-job learning. It's a lot of money. However, if the credit system can be implemented, the part-time work and study model can allow more people to have the opportunity to study.

Zhang Chao's speculation plan, if the credit system can be implemented, then Datang's literacy rate can reach more than 30 percent. This is a very large percentage, and although it may not be possible to have any advanced culture, but as long as it can improve the literacy rate. That would increase the proportion of literate people. The proportion of all advanced scholars is based on the literacy rate, and only the more literate people can more and more people climb the peak of scholarship. And more and more people are able to take up official positions.

However, the scholars saw that this credit system could reduce the cost of education and greatly improve the literacy rate and cultural popularization rate, so they could not sit still at all. Of course, they want to vigorously criticize this credit system, deliberately exaggerating the disadvantages of the credit system out of context, and deliberately avoiding the benefits of the credit system. They also hoped that Li Shimin could order a ban on the credit system, so that the scholars could almost rest easy. What the gentry wanted most was to maintain the high cost of education, so that they could monopolize educational resources through privilege. Then educate your own offspring. Otherwise, once education is popularized, everyone will have the ability to become officials, and they will all learn culture, and the meaning of those books will not be explained by the scholars. The scholars use the right to interpret cultural classics to obtain privileges, so that the academic lords of their cultural privileges will also collapse, and then the privileges of official positions will also be withdrawn, and they naturally cannot easily agree. Whatever is conducive to the popularization of culture, they must do their best to prohibit it. If everybody mastered the culture. Then how foolish are they to the people! How else can ordinary people think that they are sacrosanct?

"Zheng Aiqing, the credit system you said is all bad. Is that any good? Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no benefit to this credit system at all. And he let the students choose their own teachers, which is really unreasonable. And Zhang Chao also said conclusively that students would vote with their feet, which is really unreasonable. All excellent teachers must be recognized by the academic community, but why should the students recognize them? What qualifications does a student have to admit it? So this credit system. It is really a deformed strategy, please order the emperor to prohibit it. Zheng Xuanyi continued.

Li Shimin immediately said: "I have just gone to see the four courses, and I feel that this credit system is very good, and it is very in line with my thoughts. Therefore, the so-called ban on credit system. That's impossible. Zheng Xuanyi, Aiqing, you don't need to talk about it in the future. ”

"What? Your Majesty, you just went to see the Four Schools? Zheng Xuanyi asked unexpectedly.

"Yes, I just went to see the Four Schools. It seems that the credit system is not as bad as you say, but it can benefit the world's education. Zi said, there is no class in teaching, and this credit system is just adhering to the idea of teaching without class. So, what do I not support? Li Shimin said.

Zheng Xuanyi immediately gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually go to see the four schools yesterday, this was simply surprising to him. Zheng Xuanyi originally thought that he could deliberately exaggerate the harm of the credit system, and then avoid talking about the benefits of the credit system, so that Li Shimin could order a ban on the credit system. What he bullied was that Li Shimin didn't know what the credit system was and didn't know the benefits of the credit system. Once Li Shimin ordered the ban on the credit system, then he would have no jokes, and he would never be able to go back. But now Li Shimin actually took the initiative to look at this credit system, which made everything useless. He can't deceive Li Shimin, he can't hide the benefits of the credit system, and he is a villain now.

And Zheng Xuanyi also felt very strange, where is there such a coincidence in this world, why did he just want to impeach this Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao immediately received the news, and chose to invite Li Shimin to visit the four schools. As a result, Li Shimin saw the benefits of this four-door school, so he immediately resolutely supported it, and would not listen to the provocation of the scholars to abolish this credit system. Although the scholars and the imperial power have always been in a fight, they are actually in love with each other and want to kill, and this relationship is interdependent, so they must also seriously consider the emperor's opinion. Restricting Li Shimin made it clear that he absolutely supported this credit system, so it was not easy for them to stop it.

"Your Majesty, maybe the ministers are biased in listening and believing, so this is negligent, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" Zheng Xuanyi said.

"In that case, there is no need to say anything about the credit system. However, Zhang Chao was able to come up with this credit system so quickly. That shows that he is still very capable of managing and governing learning, and I not only want to support this Zhang Chao, but also continue to let Zhang Chao seriously manage these four disciplines. Li Shimin said.

Zheng Xuanyi gritted his teeth and chose to leave. And he went back to his house, and his face was very dark.

"Brother, what happened to you?" A young girl asked.

Zheng Xuanyi immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Today I failed to impeach Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao seemed to have been prepared, he chose to take the emperor to the four schools a long time ago, so that the emperor could see the benefits of the four schools. let the emperor see that this four-course credit system is very conducive to poor mud legs to study, so the emperor also ordered to support this credit system. Not only will I succeed in impeachment, but I will let the emperor continue to support the credit system. It's really strange, how can it be so coincidental that I was just impeached, and immediately let the emperor go to the four schools. Is there really such an easy coincidence in this world? ”

When the young girl heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "Brother." You are wrong, you should not impeach Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao is not so easy to impeach, if Zhang Chao is so easy to clean up, then I would have cleaned him up a long time ago, where will I wait until today. The emperor who impeached him didn't know about it, but I'm afraid Zhang Chao already knew. Since he knows that you are going to make a fuss about the four courses and the credit system, can he not prepare first? So she took the lead and let Huangshan District see the benefits of the credit system. In this way, the emperor will also approve of Zhang Chao's approach and continue to implement the credit system. Not only did you not do it. On the contrary, Zhang Chao was prepared, which was counterproductive. ”

"How is that possible? My impeachment of Zhang Chao is a secret, and the emperor didn't know how Zhang Chao knew about it first? Zhang Chao relied on those so-called mud legs in the cold door, can they know so quickly? Zheng Xuanyi said.

And the sister immediately said, "Brother, you are really too confused. You don't look at what kind of person Zhang Chao is, although he is in the same party, he seems to have little real power. But he had a lot of friends. You just saw the situation in the outer court, but you seriously neglected Zhang Chao's power in the inner court. Zhang Chao's strength in the inner court is only stronger than that of our scholars, and even Zhang Chao has too many friends in the inner court. ”

"The Inner Court? A friend of the Inner Court? Zheng Xuanyi asked.

The younger sister immediately said: "The eunuchs in the inner court are almost all friends of Zhang Chao. Don't forget that Zhang Chao made the royal service group at that time, and this royal service group not only increased the emperor's private wealth dramatically. The emperor's inner treasury has now increased his income a lot. Now the emperor often uses the inner treasury to subsidize the national treasury, and the operation of the palace does not need to be allocated by the treasury at all, and all of it is the inner court itself. The emperor's inner court has a lot of wealth that can allow the emperor to live a rich life himself, and these lives are brought by those eunuchs. ”

"How did Zhang Chao make waves in the inner court back then, not that he sent all kinds of imperial doctors, eunuchs, and all kinds of imperial chefs in the inner court to serve people. Zhang Chao successfully transformed the inner court into a company, which was dedicated to management. And the operating income of this company is already very huge, and it is not a problem to maintain the self-sufficiency of the palace at all. And those high-ranking eunuchs, which one is not so rich, just relying on the dividends in those royal service groups is enough to live a lot of money. Each of their eunuchs relied on the royal service to obtain a great deal of wealth. ”

And those eunuchs are also grateful to Zhang Chao, as long as they don't have too many conditions, they can also agree. Now in the emperor's inner court, those eunuchs have become a party, they have their own financial resources to maintain, and they can complete the establishment of a force. And they come from a poor family, and we scholars are naturally not all the way, and it is impossible for anyone from our scholar clan to be eunuchs! Those eunuchs came from poor families, and they naturally favored Zhang Chao. In addition, Zhang Chao gave them huge wealth and supported their group, of course they regarded Zhang Chao as a friend. You recklessly impeached Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao had already gotten the news. Your piece has not been sent in yet, and the eunuchs have already informed Zhang Chao of the news, they are actually natural allies. The eunuchs relied on the imperial power, and the Hanmen also relied on the imperial power, and they were actually the two dogs in the emperor's hands. At present, they have a common enemy, and that is our nobles. So the two dogs are naturally willing to cooperate, the relationship between the two of them is each other, if you just fight one of them, then they will naturally report to each other. ”

Zheng Xuanyi's face turned blue. Only then did he realize how naïve he was, and he actually thought that he could impeach Zhang Chao. But Zhang Chao had already known about his plan, so it was naturally impossible for him to succeed. Since Zhang Chao already knew his plan, the eunuchs in the palace would also report the news. The eunuch group in the palace is not visible on weekdays, but in fact, they are also a powerful force, and they come from poor families. Naturally, they all came together with the poor family represented by Zhang Chao. Even they are all people who rely on the imperial power to survive, they are all a boss to eat, and naturally they are watching and helping each other together, so whether it is a class position or something else, they all have to come together.

"Eunuchs, they were all supported by Zhang Chao. They relied on the royal service group as a financial backing, and then they took advantage of being close to the emperor, plus they were in each other with the Hanmen represented by Zhang Chao, which was completely a force. They have their own financial resources. Then they will definitely be able to survive on their own. As a political group of the imperial court, the first thing to pay attention to is financial resources. Without financial stability, the group cannot survive. The royal service was the financial base of the eunuchs, and they had been able to survive. Next, the eunuchs will definitely expand rapidly, and the eunuchs will gradually go to the opposite side of our scholars. The young woman said.

"Well, that's right. It's a pity, you're not a man, otherwise you must be one of the best people in my Zheng family! A middle-aged man said.

And Zheng Xuanyi saluted with the woman and said, "I've seen my father!" ”

This man. That is, Zheng Renji, the former Sui Tongshi, who now has no official position in Datang. But no one dared to underestimate him. If nothing else, let's just say that he was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, which is also something that people can't ignore. However, it's a pity that he comes from a side line, not a real direct line, so this will inevitably prevent him from going to the core. But. But he also has his own ambitions, hoping to become the core figure of the Zheng family one day.

"Wrist, do you think this eunuch will fight with Zhang Chao? Since they are all dogs under Li Shimin, can we let them eat dogs? Jung In-ki asked.

Zheng Xuanyi also said, "Yes, sister." Can you let them dog-eat-dog-dog themselves? If they can dog-eat-dog, then we can all watch the show on the side. ”

Zheng Xuanyi and Zheng Renji didn't have a face to ask their daughter, but Zheng Renji and Zheng Xuanyi also felt very normal. Zheng Renji also knew from the beginning that Zheng Liwan was very good at the intrigues in the officialdom, and Zheng Renji had to accept this. Zheng Liwan was able to figure out a lot of things in officialdom at a young age, but Zheng Renji couldn't figure it out after decades of life. Zheng Renji also didn't care about his face, for the future of his family, for his future to have a place in the Zheng family in Xingyang, he also asked his daughter many times. As long as his daughter can solve the problem, he is not shy about asking.

However, what makes Zheng Renji feel embarrassed is that this daughter is a daughter after all, if it is a man, then he will definitely let her inherit his career. But it's a woman, so Zheng Renji has nothing to do. Zheng Liwan can only be a figure like a staff officer in her life, but she will never be able to have real power. This is also the sorrow of ancient women, who cannot truly realize their political ideals.

"Father, I'm afraid it's impossible, it's impossible for the eunuch and Zhang Chao to eat a dog!" Jung In-ki's daughter said.

"Why?" Jung In-gi asked.

"The so-called alliance since ancient times means that there are either common enemies or common interests. Although Zhang Chao and the eunuchs have no common interests, they have a common enemy, that is, our scholars. They are all manifestations of imperial power, and they all rely on imperial power. It's just that Zhang Chao relies less on imperial power, while eunuchs rely more on imperial power. But in fact, they are all people who rely on the imperial power, and they naturally have to fight for the imperial power. So before their enemies are gone, they will be united. It's like a robber dividing the spoils, of course, the bandits will fight in the black because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, but they are also snatching the goods. Since ancient times, I have never heard of the goods not grabbed, and they fought because of the black. ”

Zheng Renji asked, "You mean, if the Shi clan is not defeated, they will not fall out?" ”

"Yes, as long as our scholars still monopolize the imperial court, then they will naturally not fall out, after all, our enemies are still here, and it is impossible for them to fall out."

If Zhang Chao heard this Zheng girl say this, he would immediately think that the Zheng girl really has a level and can actually know the general trend of the future. According to the original history, after the Hanmen Shu clan and the eunuch group defeated the Shi clan in the Tang Dynasty, they also began to engage in internal fighting. In the early Song Dynasty, scholars had an advantage, but in the middle of the period, the eunuch group began to rise. As for the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning, scholars and doctors also had the advantage, but in the middle and late periods, the eunuch group began to rise. This is actually the scholar who began to prepare the imperial power. When the scholars monopolized the imperial court, the imperial power would inevitably form an alliance with the Hanmen Shu clan, but once the scholars disappeared and there was no pressure from the scholars, the Hanmen Shu clan would naturally fight with the imperial power.

This is an inevitable phenomenon, the Hanmen are not the emperor's lackeys, what the Hanmen want is to have their own interests, so although they have to rely on the support of the imperial power, it does not mean that they will completely sell themselves to the emperor. Therefore, once there was no pressure from the scholars, and the entire officialdom became the world of the Hanmen, the feudal landlords of the so-called representatives of the Hanmen began to conflict with the emperor. This is also the ally of officialdom, once there is a common enemy, they will cooperate, and once there is no common enemy, then they will start fighting.

When the emperor saw that the Hanmen Shu clan could not be controlled, they would also choose eunuchs as the object of support, and then they would also choose to support the eunuchs to oppose the scholars. But this is also a matter for the future, and it will not happen until the defeat of the Scholars. Therefore, if the scholar clan did not fail, it was impossible for the eunuch to fight with the Hanmen scholar doctor.

Zheng Renji thought for a moment, and then said, "Daughter, what do you want in the future?" Do you still want to enter the palace? ”

Zheng Renji still asked his daughter again to see if she wanted to enter the palace as a concubine. Zheng Renji has heard of his daughter since she was a child, and hopes to marry the greatest man in the world, and who else can the greatest man be besides the emperor? Zheng Liwan has always hoped to enter the palace, and even the person who married many years ago didn't take into account.

Zheng Renji also regretted that if he knew that his daughter was so good, he would not have hastily married his daughter to others. And he married the Lu family, so that his daughter could marry a young man named Lu Shuang back then. And now that their marriage contract has been decided, this is a headache for Zheng Renji. The Lu family is not a big clan, and they hope to take this opportunity to climb the Zheng family, so they will not easily withdraw from the marriage. But it is impossible for the Zheng family to bear the reputation of divorce by themselves, as a scholar, how ugly it is to divorce! Therefore, the Zheng family will not allow Zheng Renji to withdraw from the marriage, which is Zheng Renji's biggest headache.

"I suddenly don't want to enter the palace now!" Zheng said.

"If you don't want to enter the palace, who are you going to marry? When a man gets married, a woman gets married, and you're at the age of getting married. The family is also urging, and they want you to marry Lu Shuang of the Lu family as soon as possible. You've been procrastinating for two years, and it's going to be hard if you keep procrastinating. The Lu family has also sent people to urge, so if you don't get married as soon as possible, then I'm afraid we won't be able to talk about it. Jung In-ki said.

When the Zheng family heard this, her face was a little gloomy, obviously she didn't take Lu Shuang of the Lu family very seriously. (To be continued......)
