Chapter 263: Old Slippery Hu Hu
"Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan began to set up Guozixue, and when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he was changed to Guozijian. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Guozijian, as a place for the imperial court to educate and manage talents, governed its subordinate Guozixue, Taixue, and Simenxue, etc., each of which set up a number of doctors, and set up a person responsible for the management of sacrificial wine. β
As soon as Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came in, he began to grin, and Zhu Di touched his brows when he heard it.
"Gotta get it!"
Hu Hu didn't seem to hear it, and was still talking to himself.
"At the beginning, the official of the sacrificial wine was only in charge of the management, until the time of the Taizu of this dynasty, it was changed to the supervision and management of the parallel, which led to the current Guozijian, and then ......"
As he spoke, as if he suddenly realized something, Hu Huo raised his head and found that the emperor was staring at him angrily, and then turned his head to see that the rest of the people were all in a fugue with their eyes closed.
What's going on?
How to say it well, the emperor is like an angry little daughter-in-law, and suddenly he got angry.
Zhu Di looked at him for a while, and said angrily: "Are you finished?" β
Hu Hu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister has not finished speaking. β
"Don't say it until you finish speaking, it's none of your business, go back and rest." Zhu Di said.
When Hu Hu heard this, he looked surprised, quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, and asked, "Your Majesty, did the minister say something wrong?" The minister is guilty, the minister asks for the guilt, Your Majesty forgives the sin! β
"You are not guilty, I am guilty, why are there so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and I have called you, an old pedant?" Zhu Di said again:
"Go home and rest, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep in the Qianqing Palace."
Zhu Di rushed through, and Hu Hu turned around and left step by step, with a reluctant face.
"This old thing, I asked the east, and he answered the west." Zhu Di shook his head and scolded: "I didn't ask him this, why did I tell him all the origins of Guozijian, and I still use him to teach?" β
Looking down, Wang Wen, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, glanced at each other, both holding back a smile.
Hu Hui can answer like this, in fact, many people are not surprised.
After all, what the emperor asked just now was too sensitive, since the establishment of Emperor Wu of Jin, Guozijian has always been this teaching model, and what has changed is the authority of Guozijian, the yamen, but the internal education model has not changed at all.
In one sentence, Zhu Di wants to change the teaching mode of Chinese culture over the past dynasties, what kind of professionals should be recruited?
This concept is too novel, and Hu Hu, as a veteran minister of the Six Dynasties for a long time, has been deeply rooted in his thinking and cannot accept it.
So Zhu Di asked about one thing, but Hu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, answered another thing.
This is not to say that Hu Hu has rebelled and stopped following the emperor, this is not a matter of position, this is a matter of attitude.
Hu Hu didn't want to do this at all, since the revision of the "Orthodox Traitorous Ministers", he is a well-known important member of the imperial party in the government and the opposition, and he can't disobey the emperor in public on such an occasion.
So doing so is the smartest thing to do.
Of course, Zhu Di could see what Hu Hu meant, and knew that he didn't want to talk more, so it was the wisest thing to let him leave safely at this time.
An old minister like Hu Hu, persecuting too much will have the opposite effect.
The rabbit is anxious and bites, and a courtier of Hu Hu's status is already thankful if he doesn't object, if he goes against the tune with his head, then I'm afraid it will be very difficult to carry out this reform.
All in all, in the Qianqing Palace, from Zhu Di, who is the emperor, to these courtiers below, no one is not acting, it depends on who can act and act really.
"This old thing is finally going home, this lecture is annoying!"
Wang Wen came out and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me, after all, Hu Butang is old, and he has been in six dynasties, and it is normal for his old eyes to be dizzy. β
"Hmph." Zhu Di snorted coldly, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "That's it!" That's it! Leave him alone, I ask you, what do I think? β
Hu Hu had been dragging on for so long just now, in order to let the rest of Yu Qian, Wang Wen and Shang Yu sort out their thoughts in the back.
Wang Wen is not a fool, since he dares to stand up and take the initiative to cover for Hu Hui, it means that he has already figured out how to reply.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current Guozijian is unbearable, and it is time to rectify and reform to show the court's concern about education."
"In the country of the north and south of Beijing, there must be nearly 10,000 people waiting for the record, in addition, there will be more people, talents, and tributes from all over the country."
"So many students, all day long empty thinking and waiting for the supplement, wasting the ambition of young people, since the change of Tumubao, our dynasty urgently needs all kinds of talents to serve the country."
"Today's reform of the national prison should start with the elimination of corruption."
The problem is again, corruption.
However, it is impossible to absolutely avoid the problem of corruption in the imperial court composed of people, and the problem of corruption is even more serious today.
In this regard, Zhu Di also thinks so.
"What Aiqing said is good, what does Aiqing think is the main corruption problem in Guozijian today?"
"Official!" Wang Wen thought for a moment and continued:
"The wind of the official fall of this dynasty is the most in the past dynasties, and the Guozijian is enrolled, and it is divided into a prison of eunuchs, tribute eunuchs, Meng eunuchs, and ensheng and so on, since the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, there is another kind, called a regular prison."
"The so-called routine prison is the new enrollment policy for the prince of the country instructed by the demon queen Sun of the Zhengtong Dynasty, if a rich family has children who want to enroll, they can hand over food to the court and get the opportunity to study in the country."
"Is that so?" Zhu Di was very surprised.
Guozijian is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and at the beginning, his father Zhu Yuanzhang set up this thing in order to train a team of alternate officials for the imperial court.
Of course, in the four dynasties of Hongwu, Yongle, Xuande, and Hongxi at the beginning, Guozijian played its due role, and the reason Zhu Di also understood.
These four dynasties are Zhu Di's father, Zhu Di himself, as well as the prince and the good saint grandson are the masters of the house, the rule of officials is relatively clear, and the anti-corruption efforts are very strong.
Another problem is that during the four dynasties, the number of purge of the Ming official team was relatively frequent.
For example, the three major eucalyptus in the Hongwu period, the empty seal eucalyptus, Guo Huan eucalyptus, and the blue jade eucalyptus, each of which implicated most of the Ming officialdom, and the last blue jade eucalyptus was even more killing, and more than 30,000 people were implicated and killed.
Zhu Di is an experiencer, so he naturally knows that the number of people who are connected by blue jade eucalyptus is far more than 30,000.
In Zhu Di's dynasty, because it was the vassal king who rebelled and seized the throne, the official team naturally had to be purged, and Fang Xiaoru's kind of sand withering was even more to give him a good look.
In terms of anti-corruption efforts later, Zhu Di inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's consistent style, and there were really many people killed from top to bottom.
But Zhu Di can say very confidently that everyone who is killed by him must have a reason to be killed, and he is not a person who loves to kill.
γ
Such frequent official purges and killings of corrupt officials have led to the fact that the alternate officials of Guozijian are not as outrageous as they are now.
It has only been 14 years since the reunification of the dynasty, and it has only been 25 years since Zhu Di's previous death in Yumuchuan, and the problem of corruption has already been shocking.
It seems that the road to anti-corruption has a long way to go!
