Section 1508 Academic Corruption
In the Dong Mansion, the atmosphere has become very harmonious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dong Zhongshu, who was sitting at the top, held a wine bottle and toasted to Zhang Hui: "Zhangzi, please drink this cup!" ”
Zhang Hui smiled and waved his hand, put down the wine bottle, and said: "Old and old, not strong enough to drink, Dong Zi, please feel free to ......"
When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he didn't care, and drank all the wine in his hand.
These wines are now the premier luxury goods in Chang'an City, a pot costs thousands of dollars, and there is no market, and ordinary people can't buy it if they want to.
This is because they are produced in the deep mountains of Andong and are made with the finest ginseng.
It is a health preservation product that the aristocratic officials of the entire Chang'an are vying for, which can not only nourish the body, but also aphrodisiac.
Zhang Hui looked at Dong Zhongshu's appearance, but sighed in his heart: "If Kong Zhongni and Mr. Zixia know about it, I'm afraid they are already rolling in anger......"
Today's Confucian giants are flourishing in luxury.
Take a look at this Dong Zhongshu's mansion!
This mansion is located in the center of Shangguanli, the most expensive area in Chang'an City.
The price of a house (one mu) is as high as 500,000, and the market price of Dong Zhongshu's house is more than 10 million!
There are dozens of singers and maids in the family, more than 100 slaves and servants, and dozens of disciples and disciples to serve.
The general Han family princes and two thousand stones, the horse is not as good as this Confucian doctor.
Obviously, just relying on Dong Zhongshu's little money and allowance, even if he sells him, he can't afford to buy such a top-notch mansion.
It is impossible for this money to fall from the sky.
Naturally, the source of this Dongzi's wealth is a mystery.
Although the outside world is saying that Dong Zi's mansion and the slaves, singers, and beautiful maids in the family were all given by those wealthy merchants and nobles who admired him.
However, Zhang Hui was very puzzled.
That big dog can give him a mansion worth tens of millions at one time, and it is even impossible to buy it through normal channels to Dong Zhongshu?
Anyway, he had never encountered such a big dog.
The greatest gift ever given to him by the relatives and friends of his disciples was only worth hundreds of gold.
It was also used by him as the school's running fund.
Where did this Dongzi's money come from?
That's a big question mark!
Zhang Hui knew that he was also a Confucian magnate, Dong Zhongshu's senior brother Hu Wusheng, but he still lived in the official mansion that was allocated to him too often, and he also used the slaves and subordinates that were often allocated according to the system.
In addition to Hu Wusheng, the other Confucian giants in Chang'an are basically extravagant.
The son of a certain Dr. Chigoku is rumored to have lost millions of bets at Maoling Racecourse at one time!
However, Zhang Hui is too lazy to find out about this kind of thing.
At present, the most important thing for Legalists is to ensure that Chao Cuo can ascend to the throne safely and smoothly.
Therefore, when Dong Zhongshu put down the wine bottle, Zhang Hui said with a smile: "Dong Zi, what you just said, the old man has thought about it, and there is something inappropriate......
Dong Zhongshu's conditions, how much more inappropriate?
It's just whimsical!
You must know that among these conditions, there is even a requirement that after Chao Cuo comes to power, he will be given the quota of the ten Confucian prime ministers' mansions for young history and emblems.
There are also conditions that require the designation of five people to become princes!
It's just playing the piano randomly!
It is impossible for any Legalist to agree to such conditions.
Because once you agree, you are tantamount to denying your own Taoism.
More likely to get into big trouble!
Public weapons for private use, once known by the Son of Heaven, Confucianism and law will be dragged to the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace to spank, if you don't beat the skin and flesh, this Son of Heaven will definitely not be surnamed Liu.
However, the negotiation is like this, asking for a sky-high price, and paying back the money on the ground, which is normal.
Legalists are accustomed to seeing similar scenes.
"What do you think?" Dong Zhongshu also understands that his conditions will definitely not be accepted.
The algorithm agreed, but he didn't dare to ask for it.
Because, the ghost knows if the Legalist will dig a pit for him here and wait for him to jump in?
When it comes to political skills, Confucianism is far inferior to the skin of Legalism.
"It's better to ...... like this" Zhang Hui smiled slightly and made his own conditions.
When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Zhang Zi is too stingy......
After going back and forth like this, the two finally reached an agreement.
The Legalists abandoned their two academies in Qi and Chu and withdrew people to the north, while at the same time not putting obstacles in the way for Confucianism to enter Anton.
In exchange, Confucianism remained restrained and calm on the issue of mistakes, and did not make trouble.
Such conditions are acceptable to Confucianism.
Confucianism got the benefits, and Legalism got a prime minister.
It's a joy for all.
…………………………
"In this world, there are only two weapons that can kill people......"
"The first is the critique of weapons, and the second is the critique of ......"
Holding the report in his hand, Liu Che chuckled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, I have already understood this truth!" ”
For any ruler, the guns of the army and the pens of the literati must be firmly controlled in their own hands.
These two are indispensable, and the emperor who lacks is lame.
Therefore, the embroidered guards are not only monitoring the ministers of civil and military affairs, but also supervising the hundreds of schools.
I don't know which of the giants' butlers, servants, or even disciples is the one who embroiders the clothes.
Basically, as long as Liu Che is willing to know, at least in this Chang'an City, nothing can be hidden from his ears and eyes.
Putting down the report in his hand, Liu Che greeted softly and ordered: "The embroidered guards continue to monitor ......"
"No!" Zhou Zuoche, the Governor of the Embroidered Guard, hurriedly bowed down and bowed.
"Then go and tell the lieutenants and captains of the embroidered clothes guards of the counties and countries, and keep an eye on the academies in various places, if there is any trouble, I will authorize the captains and captains of the embroidered clothes guards of the counties and countries, act cheaply, and make a decision!" Liu Che added with some unease.
Although, judging from the current situation, the top of Confucianism, it seems that a compromise and a deal have been reached.
The specific content of Liu Che is not clear for the time being, but it is certain that the Legalists made concessions to Confucianism in exchange for Confucianism to shut up and even applaud and cheer on the matter of Chao Misplace.
But can this deal be implemented?
God knows!
After all, Confucianism or Legalism, or even any school of thought today, has never been a simple organization or individual.
Even within the Mohists, there is a difference between the scientific school and the practical school.
The degree of disagreement and complexity within a behemoth like Confucianism is far beyond imagination.
Can a high-level bigwig convince the people below with a single sentence?
Don't even think about it!
Even, the high-level within Confucianism may not be of the same mind in this matter.
In this world, there is no shortage of adventurous radicals.
And Liu Che naturally has to be ready to beat.
At the theoretical and ideological level of Confucianism, no matter how much trouble it makes, Liu Che doesn't bother to interfere.
However, if someone tries to stir up trouble in society and politics, then I am sorry.
Especially in such a sensitive and nervous time, whoever comes out is looking for death!
Liu Che will unceremoniously trample it to death!
The solution is very simple.
Just fight corruption!
Don't think that now that Confucianism does not have an advantage in the political arena, there will be no corruption!
In fact, there is more corruption within Confucianism than you can imagine!
First of all, there is all kinds of academic corruption and nepotism within the university campuses.
There are many tricks in various universities in later generations, and now there are many in the university gardens of the world.
Especially the Confucian academies, especially the super academies.
Because there are too many people and too many interests, it is even worse for Liu Che to bear to witness.
In the reports of the embroidered clothes and guards over the years, there is no shortage of these contents.
What is a certain disciple of Dong Zhongshu, in just a few years, the family has reached millions.
What a certain relative of Hu Wusheng, but he is in charge of logistics and food in the Linzi Academy of Qi State, and he can make millions a year!
It's all drizzle.
Even more exaggerated things, there are!
For example, the tickets did not come from the donations of the proud merchants and the big families, withheld the subsidies issued by the county and the imperial court, and even embezzled the public funds of the academy to go out to lend usury.
These scum have used almost all the means that can make money.
Today, the corruption in the academic circles of the Han Dynasty, especially in the Confucian universities, is ten times greater than that of officialdom!
If Liu Che hadn't raised his noble hand, I'm afraid all these scum would have to go to Tingwei Prison a long time ago.
Of course, Liu Che is not used to them.
It's just because, in fact, it's actually hard to deal with them!
There is no excuse and no legal basis.
After all, these guys are all shrunk in the private academies of the giants of various universities, playing their own games behind closed doors.
What they hurt and infringe on is nothing more than the interests of their respective teachers/elders.
Is it a sin for a son to steal his father's wealth?
In the current Han law, there is really no charge that can punish them.
The emperor meddles in other people's family affairs for no reason, which in itself is very taboo.
In case the person who has been violated and has damaged his interests jumps out and says, "Well, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, the money was given to so-and-so......
At that point, it's embarrassing!
Of course, it is not entirely impossible to intervene and meddle in similar matters.
Just like now, it's a great opportunity.
If some people can't hold back the devil in their hearts, their heads are very iron, and they have to jump out and make trouble.
Then Liu Che will find excuses and reasons.
How dare you criticize and question the personnel arrangements of the monarch's father?
Check you right!
No one in the world can say anything!
And pulling out the radish and bringing out the puree, such a thing, as long as it starts, is difficult to stop.
When these problems were pulled out of the water and let the world see them, Liu Che could naturally formulate laws to strengthen and strengthen the control over various academies, and it was even possible to turn these private academies into semi-official academies.
In this way, the state can firmly control these literati with pen and stick.
If you are obedient, you will give a sweet date, disobedient? Driven out of the door and left to fend for himself.
As for whether anyone will jump out?
Liu Che believes that there will definitely be someone.
If you really can't do it, you can also direct it yourself.
Just follow the script of the Capitol arson.
"However, at this scale, I have to control it......" Liu Che secretly thought in his heart, this play can't be played too much, and everyone is in danger.
This scene, in the final analysis, is just killing chickens for monkeys to see.
Thinking of this, Liu Che also shook his head in his heart.
Since he ascended the throne, he has known very well that the group of literati and doctors cannot be beaten too hard, and if they are beaten too hard, people will rebel, they will not accept it, and even deliberately make trouble and drag you back.
But you can't help but fight, these guys don't fight for three days, and they go to the house to uncover the tiles.
It's a tsundere lady's character!
Therefore, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
"Zhou Qing ......" Liu Che turned around and said to Zhou Zuoche: "Aiqing should also step down from the position of the governor of the embroidered clothes next year, where does Qing want to go?" ”
"Captain? Servant? Or is it too often? ”
In the past few years, Zhou Zuoche has been in charge of embroidery and clothing, and he has done a good job.
has changed from a simple aristocrat to today's spy leader, and he is also conscientious about his work.
The most important thing is that his mouth is very tight, and no wind has ever leaked out of his mouth.
This made Liu Che very satisfied.
Naturally, it will be rewarded!
At the very least, we have to solve this personal treatment problem for him.
Of course, by the way, it is also to prevent the power of the embroidered guards from falling into private hands.
"Your Majesty is loving, the ministers are grateful, everything is from Your Majesty's orders!" Zhou Zuoche heard this, but his face turned into a flower.
Since the first generation of mourning Zhou Chang, the old Zhou family has had some official luck, except for Zhou Chang, there has not been a Jiuqing.
It's too dangerous!
It is difficult for the Liehou family, who has not been out of Jiuqing, to have any influence.
"Let's go and be a guard captain...... Liu Che thought about it and said to Zhou Zuoche: "Wei Wei has great power and responsibility, and he is concerned about the safety of the palace, after Aiqing takes office, he should make persistent efforts and don't live up to my expectations!" ”
Taifu, the Ma Zheng policy related to the Han family must use professionals, which is obviously not suitable for Zhou Zuoche.
As for that too often, it is too noble.
Let Zhou Zuoche, the former spy leader, do it, Liu Che estimates that the literati doctor has to fry the pot.
Or the position of Wei Wei is suitable for Zhou Zuoche.
Under the current Han system, Wei Wei is actually just an ornament and a gatekeeper.
The court, especially the guard task in the Weiyang Palace, has long been in the hands of the Tiger Benwei and Yu Linwei, and the northern and southern armies have also changed from the Praetorian Guards in the past to the main force of today's field operations.
In the event of a major war, the armies of the North and the South would be drawn to the front.
This is a strategy adopted by Liu Che in order to prevent the northern and southern armies from becoming useless tricks.
As a result, the army that this guard lieutenant could actually control was only the arsenal garrison plus the thousands of people who were the twelve lieutenants.
"No!" Zhou Zuoche was still happy and couldn't help himself, the power of Wei Wei never depended on how many people he had, but on the relationship between this position and the emperor.
As long as he has a close relationship with the emperor, even if there is only one soldier in the guard, it is enough to make people look sideways.
On the contrary, even if there are thousands of troops under his command, no one will obey orders.
A guard that the emperor doesn't even want? Still want the army to obey? Dream!
"Aiqing go down to do something...... Liu Che smiled and waved his hand, and instructed him: "As soon as there is news, come and report it to me immediately!" ”
"No!" Zhou Zuoche bowed his head contentedly.
