Section 1403 Successors

More than two hours later, Maoling City appeared in Liu Che's sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Staring at this huge city, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Liu Che's mouth.

If Chang'an is the political center of the Han dynasty now, then Maoling is the cultural center of the Han dynasty now.

Taixue, Wuyuan, Lanting Pavilion (National Library), Lingyan Pavilion (National Meritorious Martyrs Memorial Hall), all hedgehogs are gathered here.

In addition, the racecourse in Shaofu is also outside Maoling City.

As a result, this place has quickly become the most dazzling pearl in the entire pass in just a few years.

In the city alone, the permanent population is close to 200,000.

Looking at this bustling city that has gradually taken shape, Liu Che suddenly had boundless ambitions.

"This is my city!"

"This is my city!"

He proudly held the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand and muttered in his heart.

For him, Maoling is his second hometown and true home.

Because this is his home, and it is also a projection of his current political achievements.

In today's Maoling City, there are the largest number of literati, military generals and intellectuals in the Han Empire, and the largest and most complete collection of classics on the entire earth.

Today, there are thirteen categories of books in the Orchid Pavilion, including literature, history, astronomy, geography, science, agriculture, smelting, forging and manufacturing......

Here, the light of human civilization shines brightly.

Looking at the city, Liu Che was also full of emotion.

In order to build it, tens of thousands of funds are constantly smashed into it every year.

In order to make the city more livable, countless new technologies and achievements have been applied.

Just like now, a new track is being paved from Chang'an to Maoling, and once it is completed, then in the future, the flow of materials between Chang'an and Maoling can be accelerated by five times.

At that time, Chang'an and Maoling will be closely linked.

In the future, it may even be reconstituted into a new megacity.

In the midst of emotion, Liu Che's convoy had already arrived at a post station outside Maoling City.

Here, the Maoling officials, who had been prepared for a long time, organized a welcoming procession and knelt respectfully on both sides of the road.

"Ministers welcome Your Majesty to Maoling...... "Today's Maoling Ling is Ji Di's younger brother Zheng Shi, who has been assisting Ji Di in a proper manner over the years, and is at ease his little brother, Ji Di naturally trusts him very much, so he recommended him when Maoling Ling was vacant, and Liu Che was also indispensable.

What's more interesting is that his deputy head, the current Maoling Wei Zhai Ren, if Liu Che is not mistaken, this king's eldest son should be the hero of the famous allusion in history.

Therefore, Liu Che couldn't help but look at him twice.

In addition to the Maoling bureaucrats, the people who came to greet Liu Che this time naturally included relevant officials from Taixue, Wuyuan and Lingyan Pavilion.

There are more than 30 doctors alone, including seven doctors of 2,000 stones.

There are also six professors of Wu Yuan, all of whom are veterans who have retired from the Han army.

Seeing these elites of the empire, Liu Che was in a good mood, and helped them up one by one, with a few words of encouragement and condolences.

Then, surrounded by these people, he re-boarded the chariot and entered the city of Maoling.

After entering the city, Liu Che was not in a hurry to go to Taixue.

Instead, he first took his ministers to visit Uncle Tian's mansion in Maoling City.

Uncle Tian's health was not very good years ago, and since this ten years, it has been unstable, and it has not been a few years.

This made Liu Che very sad.

Since ancient times, famous ministers have been like red faces, and they do not let the world see white heads.

But this is the law of nature, and no one can reverse it.

On the contrary, Uncle Tian is very open.

Although the old man was lying on the bed and his body was very weak, he was in good spirits and mood.

For him, there are no more regrets in this world.

He saw the rise of the Han dynasty with his own eyes, witnessed the re-strengthening of the empire, and saw the return of the Celestial Empire.

That's enough!

"The old minister is no longer enough to preside over Taixue...... Uncle Tian, who was lying on the floor, held Liu Che's outstretched hand and said: "This matter of Taixue, please also ask Your Majesty to choose and appoint ......"

Liu Che looked at Uncle Tian's appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that Uncle Tian might not be able to survive next year.

And in history, this old minister could have lived for a few more years.

But unfortunately, Liu Che asked him to preside over Taixue.

And that place of Taixue, is it an easy place?

Not to mention, Confucianism and Huang Lao, this Romance of the Three Kingdoms brawl is enough to exhaust all the energy of an energetic man in the prime of life.

In the past two years, although Uncle Tian has nominally taken a back seat, he doesn't care about things.

However, Taixue's internal affairs, he still can't ignore it, and he can't ignore it.

Because, apart from him, no one can make Confucianism and Huang Lao obediently bow his head and admit his mistakes.

"Aiqing, let's recuperate first...... Liu Che said emotionally: "This is too much to learn, Qing don't care about it anymore......"

"But how can the minister be willing to ...... How can you ignore it......" Uncle Tian laughed and said: "The minister is dead, under Jiuquan, I'm afraid I can't let go of Taixue......"

"Taixue, the importance of the society, the importance of scholars, the foundation of the teachings of the world......" Uncle Tian grabbed Liu Che's hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the future, whether the Han family can produce characters like Kong Qiu, Mo Zhai, Lao Tzu, and Han Feizi again, the key depends on the education and guidance of Taixue!" ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "I know ......"

Today's Taixue, in the evolution of these years, has gradually become far from the historical Taixue.

Historically, whether it is a scholar or a change of vest called Guozijian, its purpose and purpose has been to train bureaucratic substitutes -- mainly to open the back door to scholars, nobles, merchants, and those who have a way.

It is a convenient place for the ruling class to act in the imperial examination system.

The children of the nobility who do not learn and do not know how to do it can be gilded through this way.

But today, the Han imperial examination system has replaced the imperial examination system.

The examination system is for middle and low-level officials, which is basically similar to the civil service examination.

As a result, basically, anyone with an average academic record can pass the exam - even if they don't pass this year, they can continue next year, and the number of admissions is increasing every year.

In addition, in the county, various academies are blooming everywhere.

Confucianism, Famo and even the lazy Huang Lao faction began to open their doors to recruit apprentices.

In such a situation, Taixue seems to have become a redundant ornament.

However, it turns out that literati and doctors always find opportunities to develop new rules of the game.

Just like this Taixue now, it seems that it is moving towards a place of study similar to that of doctoral students and master's students.

Here, it has become the center of the world's young talents who are interested in learning and disdain their careers, or elites who want to be officials but still want to study first.

And the faculty here is unique in the world.

Confucianism, Huang Lao, and even the most outstanding and accomplished doctors among the Mo family, all gathered here.

As a result, today, the Han dynasty has formed a system similar to the university study system of later generations.

In the academies of each county, students first receive basic education in the local area.

The hosts and teachers of the academy will carefully select the best and elite among these people, and then let these people come to Taixue for further study through official or private operations.

Naturally, there will be elimination in the process.

But what remains must be the future of this school.

Just like Lu Ru, why did Lu Ru suddenly decline?

In addition to its base camp being turned upside down by Liu Che, the biggest blow came from Taixue.

At that time, the Luru elites in Taixue basically chose to turn their backs.

The elite of Luru was once destroyed, and a school with no future had a naturally predictable fate.

Therefore, today, the function of Taixue has become the cradle of the future successors of the sons.

The heroes of the various factions of Confucianism, Fa and Huang Lao gather here.

They read, studied, debated and communicated with each other, and in the blending of ideas and cultures, a new generation of thinkers and writers began to spin their cocoons, waiting for the day when they would fly away.

Therefore, Tian Shucai said that 'in the future, Kong Qiu, Mo Zhai, Lao Tzu, and Han Feizi' will probably be born in Taixue.

"Aiqing......" Liu Che looked at Uncle Tian, and finally asked: "Who does Qing think can be the queen of Qing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, countless people inside and outside the entire house held their breath.

The Han family has always had a tradition of recommending successors in the suicide notes of old ministers.

For example, when Xiao He was seriously ill and Empress Lu asked him who could take over, Xiao He recommended Cao Shen without hesitation, and Empress Lu agreed to this candidate without hesitation.

Since then, under normal circumstances, if the emperor asks an old minister about the choice of his successor after his death, the person recommended by the old minister has never been vetoed.

When Uncle Tian heard this, he thought about it, and then said, "Lao Chen has also thought about these problems these days......

"Taixue Zhuzi, the old minister has been observing for a long time......"

"Mr. Zhang Hui, a lawyer, is very good ......in terms of learning, character, and morality," Uncle Tian said, "But unfortunately, he is too old......"

Zhang Hui's age is older than Uncle Tian, naturally, asking him to be the mountain chief of Taixue is not to help him, but to harm him.

However, the Legalist officials in the crowd all sighed.

Chao Cuo even had the urge to simply take off the hat of the Imperial Doctor and do this Taixue Mountain Chief himself.

But after all, he knew that it was too absurd, and it was not suitable for such an occasion.

"As for the Confucian Shen Gong, the same is ......," Uncle Tian continued.

That Shen Gong's age is almost the same as Zhang Hui's, and his qualifications are older.

When Shen Gong was young, he was a senior brother with King Chu Yuan, and he listened to the lecture together under Mr. Fuchubo's seat.

"Although the beard has a very high character, morality, and learning, the old minister feels that the beard is too utilitarian after all......" Uncle Tian sighed, and he was not afraid of offending people.

In fact, all the doctors and officials of Taixue, in front of him, are all juniors.

Even Zhang Hui and Shen Gong, who are older than him, are the same.

In the hearts of the people in the world today, the literati and scholars with a higher status than him are probably the ones who live in seclusion in Jinan.

After all, Uncle Tian is one of the five gentlemen of Handan, and his reputation is very high, and after Liu Che came to power, he even got the king's buff bonus - even the Son of Heaven holds the disciple ceremony, who dares to say that his status/seniority is higher than him?

It is precisely in this way that Uncle Tian can suppress Confucianism and Huang Lao in Taixue.

Even the most unruly people of the Xunzi School have to behave in front of him.

The emperor is here, who dares to be presumptuous?

And in the crowd, Hu Wusheng also sighed when he heard this.

Because of Uncle Tian's evaluation, it is indeed not half a point.

His utilitarianism over the years has become heavier and heavier.

But can he be blamed?

In today's world, all schools of thought have to work hard, and whoever is slower and develops faster than others will be riding on their heads to show off their might.

Moreover, Confucianism itself is not treated by the Son of Heaven.

It's equivalent to Confucianism, and there are a lot more debuffs for no reason.

The Confucian counterparts of the Grammarists and Mohists all have the support of the Son of Heaven behind them.

The scoundrel of the Legalist simply acts as both an athlete and a referee.

He can't help it, if he doesn't be utilitarian and active, sooner or later he will be eaten by the Legalists and the Mo family with the belt and bones!

"As for Dong Zi......" Uncle Tian's eyes wiped a trace of disappointment: "The old minister thinks that Dong Zi may be a good teacher, but he can't be a good Taixue Mountain Chief!" ”

"Taixue is a place where the community cultivates talents and inherits the knowledge and truth of the sages...... Lao Chen is worried that if Dong Zi is the head of Taixue Mountain, I am afraid that in a few decades of Taixue, except for Dong Zi's lineage, all other sons will decline......"

This is really not a lie.

In fact, compared with Hu Wusheng's lineage, which advocated that I note the Spring and Autumn Period, Dong Zhongshu's Spring and Autumn Note I put too much emphasis on books and has a strong view of the portal.

If Hu Wusheng had become the head of Taixue Mountain, he might still be able to tolerate and accept the Legalists and the Huang Lao faction, and he could also be relatively peaceful with the Confucian factions.

But if Dong Zhongshu is on the throne, with his consistent behavior, he is afraid that he will not stop if he does not kill all the others.

Liu Che also nodded when he listened.

In fact, he never considered letting a Confucian take over Taixue.

Because that's going to happen terrible things.

All factions of Confucianism, no matter which faction comes to power, will inevitably try desperately to exclude dissidents.

But then again, if you change the Legalist or the Huang Lao School, it will probably be the same.

After all, this academia's war is never-ending.

Later generations of scholars, in order to crack down on dissidents and squeeze out competitors, even dared to use administrative power.

This is also the essence of academia -- there is always a struggle for right and wrong.

If I'm right, you're definitely wrong.

If you know your mistake and don't hurry up to change your ways, do you want to do it?

"In the opinion of the public, who can undertake this great responsibility?" Liu Che asked in a low voice.

"If you say who can share your worries for Your Majesty and relieve your worries for the society, the old minister thinks that Zhang Wuhou must be able to do it......," Uncle Tian said, and looked at Liu Che with expectation and serious eyes.

This is also the best successor chosen by Uncle Tian.

Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo!
