"Why haven't you come out yet! Why haven't you come out yet! ”

Zhao Zhen grabbed his head and walked around nervously outside Zhang Rou's dormitory, kicking him away when he saw anyone in the way.

However, just when he was about to stretch out his foot to kick someone again, he was stopped by Liu E: "Your Majesty, can you stop for a while!" The mourning family is about to be dizzy by you, what's the use of you kicking them there, come and sit with the mourning family, drink some tea and wait quietly. ”

"O Queen Mother! I can't sit still! You said it hasn't been a long time, why is there still no response? Although Zhao Zhen didn't sit down, he still walked over and dried up the tea that Liu E had arrived.

Liu E said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" Isn't there a happy girl in it, you still don't believe in her medical skills! Besides, you made a lot of noise at that time, and it took a long time to wait for you to come out! ”

She said this, Zhao Zhen and Concubine Li were not very embarrassed. Of course, others didn't know that Concubine Li was his biological mother, so they didn't pay attention to her, and they all stared at Zhao Zhen and laughed.

Just when Zhao Zhen and the ministers were waiting a little anxiously, Xie Xinran finally walked out of the gate of the dormitory with a child in his arms.

"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor! The queen gave birth to a dragon child! Xie Xinran knelt on the ground, holding the child in both hands and handing it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the child very excitedly, inadvertently pulled the cloth foot, glanced inside, and did not hold the child until he confirmed the "parts" he wanted to see, and then hugged the child and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...... I have a prince! I have a prince! ”

"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor! God bless me for all generations! The surrounding palace maids and ministers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

The neat tone and unified slogan not only made Zhao Zhen feel that they had rehearsed it in advance, but also for today's exciting moment.

"Let's all be flat!"

Zhao Zhen held the child and showed off, and immediately rushed into the room and came to Zhang Rou's bedside.

"Queen, we have a baby! Look, it's still a boy! Zhao Zhen smiled and put the child next to Zhang Rou, the little guy just opened his eyes, and he was still spitting bubbles at his mother!

Zhang Rou stroked the child's face: "Your Majesty, you see that his little nose is really like yours!" ”

"That's a must! My son! It must be like me, but it's hard to be like the king next door! Zhao Zhen quipped.

Zhang Rou glanced at him again: "There is no right thing at any time!" ”

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to refute it again, but at this time, Liu E and the three of them also walked in.

Liu E: "Your Majesty, the ministers are still waiting outside!" You'd better go out and appease yourself first! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Zhao Zhen first responded to Liu E, and then turned to Zhang Rou and said, "Queen, you have a good rest!" I'll go out and send those ministers away, and then I'll come back with you!" ”

Zhang Rou nodded: "Your Majesty, go ahead!" I'm fine! ”

Leaving a few mothers to accompany Zhang Rou, Zhao Zhen came outside the dormitory again.

When Yan Shu and several cabinet ministers saw him come out, they surrounded him and congratulated him again: "Congratulations to the emperor for having a dragon!" ”

Zhao Zhen also arched his hand at them rarely: "Rejoice and rejoice!" ”

Sun Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what name you plan to give Your Highness?" ”

"Yes! Emperor! What's the name? Yan Shu and the others should also be peaceful.

"Rong Zhen, think about it!" Zhao Zhen touched his short beard and pondered for a while before he said: "My Great Song Dynasty is an authentic son and daughter of Yan and Huang, a descendant of China, I hope that my emperor can inherit the legacy of my ancestors, and in the future, he will take on the important task of revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty and revitalizing the Chinese nation, so that my Chinese nation can stay away from the persecution of foreign races." Therefore, I intend to take the name of my son, and the word is brave. And changed the year name to Xinghua, meaning Xinghua China, and the Ministry of Rites immediately notified the world. ”

Sun Fu: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "In order to celebrate the birth of my emperor's son, I will grant amnesty to the world, except for the most evil people, all of them are within the amnesty, and the Ministry of Punishment will do a good job of screening, and some extremely dangerous characters cannot be released because of the amnesty." ”

Yan Shu: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

In May of the ninth year of Tiansheng (A.D. 1031), Empress Zhang conceived a baby in October and gave birth to a dragon son for Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty, and gave the name Zhao Zhen, amnesty to the world, and the whole world celebrated. In the same year, it was changed to Xinghua, which was the first year of Xinghua. Soon after, the prince Zhao Zhen was full of moon and was given the king of Qin.

……

Before Zhao Zhen was born, those scholars from various ministries who had been locked up by Zhao Zhen for a long time finally broke through, which was a big gift for Zhao Zhen's birth. However, because Zhao Zhen's mind has always been tied to Zhang Rou and the child, he did not take the time to summon Cai Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, when Zhang Rou finished her confinement and the rhythm of life slowly returned to normal, he called Cai Qi and the cabinet ministers to the Vertical Arch Palace.

After everyone and Zhao Zhen had met the courtesy, Zhao Zhen couldn't wait to say to Cai Qi: "Cai Aiqing, quickly tell you about the results you have discussed for more than half a year!" ”

"Obey the order!" After Cai Qi saluted Zhao Zhen first, he turned to the cabinet ministers and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, after the discussion between the lower officials and many scholars, combined with the education method of sacred learning, we have decided to divide education into the following stages:

First, the family education stage is mainly for children before the age of three, mainly based on family education, that is, relying on the words and deeds of parents. In fact, education at this stage has a great impact on a child's life, but because the vast majority of the people in our dynasty have little culture, they don't care much about the growth of children at this stage. Therefore, the opinion of the lower officials and the scholars is to hope that the imperial court will increase its propaganda efforts, not to let the common people become masters of education, but to guide them to set a good example for their children to set an example.

Second, the preschool education stage is mainly for children aged 3-6 years old, who are already able to take the initiative to accept the knowledge and insight instilled in them by the outside world, but they do not have the ability to distinguish between black and white. Therefore, at this stage, it is necessary to let some people of insight guide them and guide them in their true nature - "goodness".

Mencius believed that there is a way of courtesy and righteousness between kings and ministers, so they should be loyal; There is an order of respect and humility between father and son, so filial piety should be felt, and brothers and sisters are close relatives, so they should be reconciled; The love between husband and wife is different from inside and outside, so they should be endured; There is the virtue of honesty among friends, so they should be kind; This is the principle and code of conduct for dealing with ethical relations between people.

We believe that children at this stage do not need to be exposed to specific knowledge, but must let the 'five virtues' of loyalty, filial piety, compassion, forbearance, and kindness penetrate into their hearts.

Third, the stage of school education. This is a relatively long stage in the growth of a child, and we subdivide it into three stages: the cultivation of children, the cultivation of aspirations of teenagers, and the cultivation of morality by youth.

'Mengtong Yangzheng', for children aged 7-10, emphasizes the habit formation period of 'seeing the old at the age of seven'. This stage is basically the primary school set up by the Holy One, and the main purpose of their visit to the school is not to learn knowledge, but to go to the group to practice their good habits of life, study, communication, and activities. In other words, it is to cultivate a straight, not crooked and skewed foundation trunk.

'Juvenile Ambition', aimed at 11-16 year olds, also roughly corresponds to the middle school set up by the Holy School, as the saying goes: 'Heroes have been born of teenagers since ancient times'. It's not about teenagers really becoming heroes, but about juvenile years being the best time to aspire and build ideals. At this age, cognitive abilities have been formed, and self-awareness has begun to sprout, and at the same time, they are easily tempted by the external environment.

I am sure that all of you here are also deeply aware of the fact that when we were in that period, we also wanted to do a great job, but we often gave up for many reasons. Therefore, teenagers of this age are often in the contradictory period of "those who have no ambition often aspire". pay attention to the ideal, moral, and voluntary pursuits of this period; Paying attention to the friends and role models of this period, as well as the in-depth exploration of famous texts and scientific secrets, will affect their long-term development.

'Youth Virtue' is aimed at people who have just come of age (17-20), who are already going out into society alone to forge their own path, and for whom morality is 'responsibility'. According to our past habits, children at this age basically no longer pay too much attention, but let them develop by themselves. However, the saint felt that people of this age could actually be further educated, and while teaching them special skills, they also understood a kind of responsibility to themselves, their families, their fathers and villagers, the country and the nation, and human society. Cultivating virtue is the level of responsibility, because this level will not only affect his state of existence, but also deeply affect his invention and creation.

Finally, we have also set forth the goal of education for a society in accordance with the instructions of the Holy One. The reason why we say that this is a goal is because we are not doing enough now, and for all of you here, where do you get most of your talent and ability? Xia Guan thinks that it is more honed after becoming an official!

However, do those who come after them have to go through this process, or do they have to waste half their lives because of it? Therefore, we unanimously believe that the imperial court should encourage and call on the virtuous people of the country to write more books and write more books, and to make more 'voices' heard, so as to guide those students who are still rampage in confusion to find their own bright path.

Your Majesty, this is the result of the minister's report, please instruct! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded: "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Yan Shu: "Back to the emperor, the old minister listened to Lord Cai's words, deeply touched, think about it, the old minister has also experienced a lot of ups and downs, if you can have a perfect education system, it is bound to make most students take a lot of detours, the old minister deeply agrees with this!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "What about you?" ”

Sun Fu: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Fan Zhongyan: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

……

Yang Zongbao: "The minister doesn't understand!" But the minister has no opinion! ”

Zhao Zhen: "In this case, it should be regarded as your cabinet that passed this resolution, and the household department will contribute a little more money to officially include the Salesian Bureau in the early childhood education stage." The Ministry of Rites also seized the time to gradually adjust the existing branches of the Royal Academy in accordance with the plan discussed by Cai Aiqing and them. In addition, we have designated the youth education stage as a 'university', and for the time being, only the senior department of the Royal Academy is equivalent to this function, and the local branches have not yet been opened. The Ministry of Rites should seize the time and consider the construction of the university as appropriate, depending on the source of students from all walks of life. ”

Sun Fu: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "I still say the same thing, a century-old plan, education-oriented." As long as our education strategy is done well and the quality of the people is improved, foreign races will not be able to do anything to our Chinese nation.

However, many students now study for one purpose, that is, to gain fame, become an official and make a fortune, and return to their hometown! The reason why I have not been enthusiastic about the imperial examination since I ascended the throne is because I am still hesitating. Although this imperial examination did make my dynasty's literary style flourish, they seem to have deviated from the original intention of the sages to let them study.

In view of this, I have pondered and meditated, as an important way to select talents, it is unrealistic to close the imperial examination, so the only thing we can do is to change the style of the examination and change their ideology that they only want to be officials and make a fortune.

Therefore, I plan to take the opportunity of the birth of the emperor to hold another unique imperial examination, which can be regarded as an attempt, and I hope that all the ministers will cooperate more! ”

"Please ask the emperor to command!" Yan Shu took the lead in shouting, he greatly agreed with the imperial examination, and the more he could hold it during his reign, the greater his influence would be.

Zhao Zhen: "The Ministry of Rites immediately selected a number of examiners and went to Luoyang, Xijing, to stand by!" ”

Luoyang? What does the emperor mean by this, the imperial examination is not in the capital, but he went to Xijing.

"Obey the order!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Sun Fu came back to his senses under Cai Qi's pull. (To be continued.) )
