Chapter 634: The Prime Minister Must Start from the State Department

Two days later, the East Warm Pavilion of Prince Rui's Mansion in Beijing.

Although the weather had warmed up, Dorgon still shrank in the East Pavilion most of the time, because as soon as he left the Pavilion, he felt chills all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Cao Eryu walked into the warm pavilion and felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, too hot.

"Master." Cao Eryu lowered his head and reported, "Dorobelle Luo Luohun has often gone to the Yujun King's Mansion these days, and every time he will have a long secret discussion with the Yujun King in the study. ”

"What are they talking about?" Dorgon frowned.

"I don't know." Cao Eryu said, "Because the two of them separated others when they discussed secretly. ”

"In this way, it must be some shady deed." Dorgon said in a deep voice.

After a pause, Dorgon added, "But it's okay, they can't turn the sky." ”

While he was talking, another prince knelt down and said, "Master, Jinghai is urgent." ”

"Hong Chengchou's urgent delivery, it must be the result over there!" Although he was not hopeful about the outcome of this battle, Dolgon still had a trace of luck in his heart, and immediately said to Cao Eryu, "Hurry up and present it." ”

Cao Eryu hurriedly took the fire paint letter and handed it to Dolgon with both hands.

Dorgon brushed off the paint, and after reading the letter, the whole person fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Dolgon asked Cao Eryu, "Have you finished reading the records of the Ming Xi Sect?" ”

"Master, the slave has finished reading." Cao Eryu responded, "But it's just a cursory look, and many of them may not be remembered clearly." ”

"What are you afraid of, I won't test you."

"It's the slave who is worried that he has misled his master by saying something wrong."

"Misleading? You still can't mislead me, I ask you, how many plagues broke out in the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse? ”

"Plague? There is a record in the actual record of this Ming Xi Sect, and there are quite a few times, almost every year, among which the plague in Shanxi in the third year of the Apocalypse is the most intense. ”

"So that means there are frequent outbreaks of plague in the DPRK?"

"Yes, this is beyond doubt, and there have been many plagues in the Chongzhen Dynasty."

"I see." Dolgon nodded, and then asked Cao Eryu, "By the way, has the Ming army's blockade trench closed?" ”

"Back to the master, the blockade trench of the Ming army has not yet been closed." Cao Eryu replied respectfully, "I don't know what the reason is, Minggou left a hole four or five hundred steps wide outside the Fucheng Gate. ”

"Surround three queyi, this is the Ming army's plan to attack the heart." Dolgon said coldly, "But that's fine, otherwise if the Ming army really closes the blockade trenches, the news of Beijing City and the outside world will be completely cut off, and it will be difficult for me to know what Hong Chengchou's army is doing in time, and it will be difficult for me to pass on my will to Hong Chengchou in time." ”

When Dorgon had finished speaking, he took up his pen and wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with fire paint.

Then he handed the fire paint letter to Cao Eryu and said: "Send more messengers, be sure to send this letter to Jinghai, and hand it over to Hou Fangyu, and tell Hou Fangyu to burn it after reading!" ”

"Huh!" Cao Eryu took the letter with both hands.

……

At this time, Chongzhen was climbing high at the Temple of Earth and overlooking it.

It's a pity that the height of the altar is not as high as the city wall, so you can't see the scene inside the city at all.

However, Chongzhen still relied on the memory of the original owner and knew that across the city wall was the Guozijian.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked Wang Jiayan, who was driving on the side: "Wang Qing, I remember that the opposite side of the wall is Beijing Guozijian, right?" ”

"Qi Song Sheng, the opposite side is the Guozijian." Wang Jiayan replied respectfully, but he felt a little emotion in his heart, it has only been a short five years since the Jiashen national disaster, but it has been a matter of fact.

Guozijian is still the same Guozijian, but Guozijian is not Guozijian anymore.

Wang Jiayan returned to Nanjing last year, and even went to Nanjing Guozijian to give lectures, only to know that the Guozijian in Nanjing has long been unrecognizable.

The original Guozijian taught students mainly Confucian scriptures and teachings, supplemented by miscellaneous studies.

However, in today's Nanjing Guozijian, Confucian scriptures and meanings have been integrated into national studies, and the original miscellaneous studies such as agricultural administration, astronomy, geography, gold and stone have been raised to the same height as Confucian scriptures, and physics and mathematics have been introduced from Xiyi, and there is also a half-day practice of queue artillery and equestrianism every day, Wang Jiayan does not know whether this is a blessing or a curse?

Chongzhen turned his head to look at Wang Jiayan and asked, "What does Wang Qing think of Nanjing Guozijian?" ”

Wang Jiayan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, sometimes he really felt that the saint knew how to read minds, as if he could see through what the courtiers were thinking, for example, at this moment, he just thought of Nanjing Guozijian, and the saint actually asked him how to look at Nanjing Guozijian.

Chongzhen smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Wang Qing, you don't have any scruples, you can speak freely." ”

Wang Jiayan replied respectfully, and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that the discipline setting and teaching method of Nanjing Guozijian are quite innovative, which can be described as unprecedented. ”

Chongzhen smiled, if nothing else, the next thing is but.

Sure enough, Wang Jiayan changed his words and continued: "However, as an institution that cultivates officials for the Ming Dynasty, the teaching content of Nanjing Guozijian seems to be a bit different. ”

In fact, Wang Jiayan still had something more ugly that he didn't say.

In essence, Nanjing Guozijian almost became a martial arts.

The basic training is martial arts, and I am afraid that the country will not be well governed.

Chongzhen also knew that Wang Jiayan had saved face for him, but he didn't care about this.

At that moment, Chongzhen said with a smile: "Wang Qing doesn't have to save face for me, you actually want to say that Nanjing Guozijian has been reduced to martial arts, and the training is full of martial arts, right?" ”

Wang Jiayan's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said in his heart that this was said by yourself.

Chongzhen smiled and said, "If I told you that I wanted to build Nanjing Guozijian into a martial arts academy for training military attachés, would you be surprised?" ”

The current Nanjing Guozijian is a hodgepodge.

However, in the future, physics, chemistry, mathematics and other disciplines will be separated one by one and become independent colleges or universities such as medical schools and water master schools, and Nanjing Guozijian will become a pure military school.

The only mission of the Nanjing Guozijian was to train qualified professional military attachés for the Ming Dynasty.

"The minister was not surprised." Wang Jiayan said, "But the minister is unhappy if he doesn't say a word." ”

Chongzhen asked rhetorically: "Wang Qing wants to say that martial artists can't govern the country, and it will only lead to national turmoil, right?" ”

"Holy Master." Wang Jiayan said sincerely, "Looking through thousands of years of Chinese history books, it is not uncommon for martial artists to govern the country, but there are very few people who govern the country well, and the vast majority of them are wars and chaos, and the people are not happy, not to mention the national turmoil caused by those military generals with heavy armies. ”

"What Wang Qing sees, I fully agree with." Chongzhen actually expressed his support, which made Wang Jiayan a little surprised.

After a slight pause, Chongzhen said again: "Don't hide it from Wang Qing, I don't plan to let the prince of Qin and the prisoners of Nanjing Guozi enter the officialdom, even if I pacify the Jiannu thieves, I will not let them serve as magistrates, and it is impossible to enter the center, they can only serve as errands in the internal affairs government or hold military positions at all levels in the army." ”

"This ......" Chongzhen's statement was somewhat unexpected by Wang Jiayan.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been thriving, but the civil official group headed by Lu Zhenfei knows very well that Daming's Zhongxing has almost nothing to do with their civilian official group.

The Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty was completely created by Chongzhen and the prince of Qin.

Therefore, according to common sense, after pacifying the slaves and thieves, they should enter the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds, and scholars like Xu Yingwei and Yan Yingyuan, who are diligent princes, will inevitably enter the center of power, and it is natural to serve as the official of the six ministries and even Yu Gefu.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is an unbreakable truth.

Although the saint is still the original saint, the saint is not the original saint, after all, he has already realized the Tao, so it is not surprising that the courtiers have been replaced on a large scale.

But now, the saint told him that he didn't plan to let King Qin's son and Guozisheng enter the officialdom.

His gaze inadvertently turned to the direction of the Beijing Guozijian inside the wall, and Wang Jiayan suddenly had a clear understanding, and immediately said: "The Holy Lord wants to re-establish the Beijing Guozijian to train officials for the Ming Dynasty after recovering the Jingshi?" ”

"Yes." Chongzhen said, "Nanjing Guozijian, Beijing Guozijian, one south and one north, one martial arts and one literature, Nanjing Guozijian trains professional military attachés, and Beijing Guozijian trains professional civil officials!" Career military attachés are responsible for leading troops to fight wars and expand territory, while professional civil officials are responsible for shepherding and guarding one side and governing the country. ”

"A career military attaché? Career civil servant? Wang Jiayan felt very novel.

But I feel that Chongzhen's two new words are very accurately defined.

At that moment, Wang Jiayan asked again: "How to set up the discipline of Beijing Guozijian?" ”

Chongzhen said thoughtfully: "Since it is an institution that cultivates professional civil officials, it naturally has to be focused, and the proportion of Chinese culture must be greatly increased, in fact, the discipline setting of Nanjing Guozijian also needs to be reformed, but these are not in a hurry in advance, and the top priority is to determine the candidates for the sacrificial wine of Beijing Guozijian first." ”

Well, Beijing has not yet recovered, and is considering the candidate for the sacrificial wine of Beijing Guozijian.

If Dolgon could hear the conversation between Chongzhen and Wang Jiayan, he would definitely have his lungs exploded.

Wang Jiayan did not doubt that the Ming army would be able to recover Beijing, and immediately recommended a candidate: "Liu Lishun Gong is the champion of Chongzhen for seven years, writes good articles, and Yu Jingyi also has unique opinions. ”

Liu Lishun was also one of the Jiuqing who followed Chongzhen to break through from Beijing.

And Liu Lishun is also the most typical route of the prime minister, according to the unspoken rules of officialdom, Liu Lishun will definitely enter the cabinet as an assistant in the future, and it is most suitable to serve as the priest of the country.

But Chongzhen didn't think so, he didn't like the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen instead preferred the officialdom rules of the Song Dynasty: the prime minister must start from the state department.

Therefore, an official like Liu Lishun is not suitable to serve as the priest of the Guozi in Beijing.
