The winter sun shines through the window and reflects on a delicate and dignified face, and the sunlight makes the white skin glow with a hazy gold.

While combing Zhang Miaotong's long hair, the palace maid looked at the beauty in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth curled: The queen mother is really a beauty given by God, she is over thirty years old, and she does not look old at all. Unlike the princess, who is already wrinkled, there is no one on the mother's face. No wonder the emperor is such a precious queen. After these two years, even though there were many more concubines in the palace, some of them gave birth to princes and princesses, and the status of the queen mother was not shaken at all. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position is also very secure......

These newly taken palace maids from the people in the palace, as long as they don't have the idea of climbing onto the dragon bed, who doesn't like their master's favor? Especially Zhang Miaotong has the eldest son of the crown prince under his knees.

Combed his hair for more than half an hour, plus the ornaments, and then the queen's formal dress, all of which were poured down for more than an hour. Zhang Miaotong is rare to dress so solemnly today! This is the day of the New Year's Day when the cultural relics of the main hall are pilgrimaged, and they should be worn. She wore it like this once when she entered Beijing before.

Because she has something very important to say to Liu Xian today.

Finally, I looked in the mirror and looked at the solemn beauty in the mirror, and finally dressed up. "Let's go. Let's go to the Emperor. ”

There is no such rule in Daqin's imperial palace.

There really don't seem to be any rules in Liu Xian's harem. It doesn't look like a well-behaved deep palace at all, there are no eunuchs, they are all able-bodied people, and some of them are still young and strong. If you don't notice it, there is a danger that the top of your head will change color. Therefore, the abolition of the eunuch system should force the future emperor to pretend to be less women in the harem. Just like in Liu Xian's harem now, there are a few original ones from various origins. There are fourteen in total.

The rule of the palace maid every five years does not say anything about him, and the etiquette that should be in the Chinese palace is also simplified and simplified. This is at most the house of a large family, and it is also the house of the nouveau riche with no connotation.

Therefore, Liu Xian's harem 'establishment' is very small. The total number is added to one piece, concubines, palace maids, cooks, and subordinates, less than five hundred. There were not even many soldiers of the Guards Brigade who continued to stand guard for Liu Xian.

There is always a battalion stationed around the ZN Sea.

Because of this kind of thing that damages 'etiquette', Zhang Shouyan, Fan Debang and others have not said much, even Zhang Shoudai, who can't show up openly, and his uncle and uncle-in-law who came to Beijing from Hanzhong have also told Liu Xian.

But what did Liu Xian say?

"Rules are made by men. Eunuchs are not born either. Thousands of years ago, kings had the right to have eunuchs in their palaces. Today I also have the right to have the eunuch disappear from the palace. ”

So Zhang Miaotong is very worried about one thing. The age of the prince has reached the time of enlightenment, and this unreliable emperor Lao Tzu should not mess with the three teachers and three youths.

After the New Year, the crown prince Liu Shengxu, who was born in the winter of the twelfth year of Tongzhi, was seven years old, and the birth month was too young, and the real age was five years old.

Liu Xian attaches great importance to education, and her eldest daughter Liu Mengyao has been equipped with five teachers after she was six years old, some teaching Chinese studies, some teaching arithmetic, and some teaching nature. There are those who teach vocal art, and there are those who teach etiquette, and let their daughters come by their temperament and hobbies. This is exactly what worries Zhang Miaotong. Liu Xian did this, obviously not taking the previous rules seriously.

……

What is Liu Xian's plan for the education of the next generation? A Western-style school. A royal public school.

Not just the next generation, but the next generation, the next generation. The future descendants of Great Qin and the descendants of noble and important ministers all entered this school. It's like an aristocratic school in the West. It is also the same as the palace school of the Song Dynasty.

"Empress, I don't want to teach the future king of Great Qin to be some generation of heroes! Times have changed. Mediocrity is bliss. ”

Zhang Miaotong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Xian with incredible eyes: "The mediocrity of the emperor's ......" bullshit is a blessing, and the heir of the country is, of course, the wiser the better.

Liu Xian didn't wait for Zhang Miaotong to finish his stunned, and continued to say to himself: "If a country and a dynasty want to be prosperous from generation to generation, it needs generations of wise monarchs, which is our traditional concept in China. But how many heroes can a dynasty have?

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu, Wenjing, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, Emperor Guangwu, and the wise monarch were the crowns of all dynasties, and they were not mediocre or even mediocre monarchs most of the time?

The former Qing Dynasty, Kang Yongqian, and the three gentlemen, to be fair, all have outstanding points, although I don't look down on Qianlong very much. But what about after that? Weasels are rats, and a litter is not as good as a litter. In the end, I was defeated by Daqin.

God knows how many wise and martial artists there will be in our descendants?

Moreover, the present is not the same as in the past, commerce is booming, and the power of the gentry is gone. And if you suppress commercial power, the country's power will also fall.

As for the future of Great Qin, I have been thinking about how to continue it in peace and stability these days. Whether it is a wise monarch or a mediocre lord, they will pass on the dragon chair from generation to generation. ”

"The emperor really wants to turn Great Qin into the British Empire!?"

"Instead of imagining that our children and grandchildren are all heroes of the generation of civil and martial arts, it is better to leave them a world that can be governed without much wisdom.

Therefore, Sheng'er, I didn't give him any three teachers and three young teachers, nor did I set up a study, so I built a public school, so that he could not only receive a new education, but also be with other children of the same age. ”

Zhang Miaotong's eyes widened. She wanted to retort, she felt that it was wrong. But she couldn't make sense. The British royal family does not have absolute rights, but it seems that such a legacy is really secure.

"The world has changed. If it was 500 years ago, I would definitely want to be the world. Now, if we want to revitalize China, we must develop industry, we must delegate power to merchants, and we must learn the English method. "Liu Xian will not be completely Westernized, China has China's realistic national conditions, but the hypocrite must do this." The kings of the future do not have to be too wise, as long as they have a medium posture, they can be competent. Even our children and grandchildren, like the carpenter emperor, can make the world peaceful. ”

"Queen." Liu Xian looked at Zhang Miaotong seriously, "When a person is shrewd, he thinks a lot." Just want more. Such an emperor would be dangerous. ”

Because of a mediocre person, the country has a parliament, a constitution, and a cabinet. The emperor is very pure, and there is no big problem with being a mascot. However, if it is the so-called generation of heroes. Will they tolerate their power being limited by the Constitution and shared by the Parliament and the Cabinet? This answer can be understood with the heel of the mind.

If others don't say it, as far as Liu Xian himself, he can't tolerate his rights being taken by his subordinates.

For Liu Xianyan, what parliament and cabinet, what I give you is yours, and if you don't give it to you, you should never think about it. Otherwise, you're going to lose your brain. In his bones, Liu Xian is a standard feudal emperor, at most enlightened.

……

The news of the Royal School soon spread. Then Liu Xian came forward to officially finalize the matter. And set the Xian'an Palace in the former Qing Dynasty as the location of the public school.

After the end of the big exam, the Xian'an Palace was expanded to include the nearby Shangyi Prison, and at the same time began to prepare teachers and students.

It is expected to recruit about 300 people in the first year!

……

Yingtai. Fan Debang, Zhang Shouyan and other important ministers all stared at Liu Xian, Liu Xian's face was very unhappy, and they were all frowning. The atmosphere between the monarch and the minister was very deadlocked. The reason for the dispute between their monarchs and ministers was not the war in the northwest, but the 12-year public school that Liu Xian had finalized yesterday - Chengjun Public School.

"Zhou Li. Chun Guan. Da Si Le": "The method of palm succession." To govern the study and politics of the founding of the country, and the children of the United States. ”

Note Han Dong Zhong Shuyun: "Chengjun, the study of the five emperors".

Liu Xian also looked through a lot of ancient books before he found out the name. As for North Korea, it now has Sungkyunkwan. Liu Xianli ignored it.

Fan Debang and others did not have an opinion on the name of Sungkyun Public School, nor did they have an opinion on the 12-year system. The longer the better. It is best to wait until the prince becomes an adult, a partner for more than ten years. The friendship is deep. It is too convenient for the development of future generations. The only doubt of Fan Debang and others is the choice of teachers in public schools.

Liu Xian didn't introduce foreigners, but what is it to only select a group of so-called education backbones? Those Chinese scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian in the capital. Full of learning, the master of the public school always has some injured people on the table. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by the world.

"Your Majesty. The public school shoulders the heavy responsibility of educating the prince, and the selection of the chief master of the public school must be carefully considered and not rash. ”

The meaning in Vanderbang's words is full. Who is Zhang Wenhu? Is Weng Tongyi famous? If it weren't for the fact that after hearing the news, he deliberately asked people to check who Zhang Wenhu was, and who Zhang was who Fan Debang was. And after finding out Zhang Wenhu's origin, Fan Debang couldn't tolerate Zhang Wenhu's ascension.

This guy has a lot to do with Hu Xiang Zeng and Li's family. He served as Zeng Guofan's staff, and from Zeng Guoquan's "Wang Chuanshan Testament" published in Anqing, Li Hongzhang also hired him to participate in the management of Jiangnan Official Book Company.

Fan Debang and Zhang Shouyan are resolutely not allowed. Although the two of them have cracked with each other, they have a suppressive attitude towards the combination of Huxiang and Li Hongzhang Xianghuai.

Zeng Guoquan, Guo Songtao, Shen Guifen, Li Hongzhang, Ding Baozhen, Liu Kunyi, Liu Changyou, Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng......

Although the Xianghuai clique does not have absolute military strength as a foundation, it still has strong strength at the central and local levels. It is the target of the general and large-scale group of the patriarchal system.

Weng Tongyi is now in Liu Xian's chamber, and it is rumored that Liu Xian is ready to put him in the Supervision Yuan.

Weng Tongyi has a good relationship with Fan Debang, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Shouyan, but he will never be able to pee in the same pot with Li Hongzhang and the Zeng family, and there is family hatred on both sides, so Fan and Zhang both want to push Weng Tongrong to the top.

"Your Majesty thinks that the master of the public school can be chosen in the emperor's chamberlain, and Weng Shuping can take on this important task."

Hearing that Fan Debang recommended Weng Tongyi to be the principal of a public school, Liu Xian was almost angry. It's still a tradition that kills people, it's a public school, not a study! Can you use Weng Tonggong to teach? Besides, this has not taught any 'generation of heroes' in history, just look at the fate of Emperor Guangxu.

But ......, do you want to give them a good look? Let the people below have a longer memory? (To be continued......)
