Chapter 538: The Prince's Fruits
Li Shimin frowned and looked at the picture drawn on the ground, it was just a picture drawn by a child, as for the reason, I, who was a heavenly khan, couldn't understand it.
Yan Liben said again: "The minister will go and prepare according to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you can try it." Li Shimin said: "Before spring ploughing, the sluice gate here must be repaired." ”
"I understand." Li Shimin was still very satisfied with the performance of his son and daughter, and continued to walk along the Weishui River, Li Shimin said again: "I heard that Yue'er is going to open a mountain gate? ”
"Back to my father, the imperial sister and brother-in-law did talk about this before, but this is just a formality, and there is no real sense of where the mountain gate is, if you want to say that the location is the northeast corner of Lishan Mountain, the ninth pine and cypress tree."
"The ninth cypress tree?" Li Shimin's steps were very slow, thinking,
"Is there anything strange about this tree?"
"Since the imperial sister can choose this tree, there must be a miracle, but my daughter seems to be just an ordinary tree." Li Lizhi replied, watching the young slave go to the Jing River from time to time to throw stones.
The child seemed to have no interest in anything but knowledge. Li Shimin stopped and looked at the fields in the distance, which looked white at this time.
Nine out of ten of the children's words could not be separated from the brother-in-law. It's as if I'm not as good as Zhang Yang. I am the Khan of Heaven!
You shouldn't have to deal with someone like him. The emperor persuaded himself in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became.
This is my son and daughter! Solving the problem of the Jinghe River was a thing to be happy about, but Li Shimin couldn't be happy at the moment.
Especially when I think of that smiling face, I should hang myself in front of the Chengtian Gate. I feel even more disappointed. Li Shimin said: "It's not early, so I'll go back to the palace." Li Junxian, who followed alongside, replied: "The last general will go and prepare for the car." In the imperial palace, in the East Palace, Li Chengqian held in his hand a notebook recorded during a conversation in Shangshu Province, while rewriting the regulations of the official school.
The officials who take stock of the local acres of land are only doing things according to the rules, and whether or not the government schools are running smoothly is the main thing. In the establishment of official schools, the imperial examination is secondary, and teaching and educating people is the main thing.
Li Chengqian wrote and wrote the charter for two days in the East Palace. During this period, there were also officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households.
Then let the three or two officials of the province come to help make arrangements, and a complete plan for the opening of the official school will be done.
Li Chengqian picked up a few of the volumes,
"Give these two volumes to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials respectively, and go to Shangshu Province in person." These days, Zhang Yang often comes to Shangshu Province to have a look, and when he doesn't stay here for a long time, when he has nothing to do, he puts together some small models.
A few children sit around a sand table. Zhang Yang folded the iron bar in half, so that it became a pair of tweezers, and put some pieces of wood into the small house.
These small houses on the sand table are the children's favorite toys at the moment, and they will also find a way to make a stream on the sand table, and drape the grass seeds to be lush in the next year.
Build a small house and pinch the villain, and the children are playing energetically. A person who is nearly thirty years old and will be twenty-six after the New Year, Zhang Yang did not expect to play with the children in Shangshu Province.
Plaster some slurry on the edge of the board, carefully place it on top, and then gently tap it with tweezers to fix it.
Seeing that a small house is about to take shape, the princesses and princes are about to have stars in their eyes. An unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction reverberated in the hearts of the children.
Li Zhi is making a model of a waterwheel, and this sand table has become a small world in the hearts of children.
"My brother-in-law's craftsmanship is amazing."
"Yes, yes, this house is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful house before."
"We're going to live in a house like this in the future." A group of children looked at the small villa with their eyes shining.
Zhang Yang raised his eyes and saw Li Chengqian coming, and straightened his official uniform.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Chengqian took out the paperwork,
"This is a strategy for rewriting, can you see if it's appropriate?" First, he washed his hands with a basin on the side, and Zhang Yang picked up the paperwork and read it carefully.
Shangshu Province was originally a place to deal with political affairs. At the moment, there is a huge sand table here, and all the toys on the sand table are children.
Not to mention the smell of sawdust here, and there are even eunuchs and palace maids sawing wood here. A good Shangshu province seems to have become a place for children to play.
Seeing that Zhang Yang looked at the document and didn't speak for a long time, Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Is there a place where the writing is inappropriate?" "The opening of the official school is naturally inseparable from the support of the various ministries of the DPRK and the central government, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even has to unite the household department and the official department.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "If the opening of the official school involves the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, there will be many things that will be hindered, and the opinions of the various ministries will not be unanimous, then it will not be a hall of words. ”
"Now that the court officials are clear, everyone is committed to the community, and everyone will brainstorm, isn't it better?" Zhang Yang sighed, if there was a conflict with the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, Li Chengqian would most likely choose to accommodate.
The prince is a sincere person and a kind person, not everyone is kind. Li Chengqian judges by his own conduct, and they will also make decisions based on higher conduct?
This is also too much to take for granted. Zhang Yang sat down again,
"I thought that this matter should be avoided as much as possible."
"How to avoid it?"
"Set up another official residence to preside over the opening of the official school, so that you can have the initiative and not be subject to the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee." Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Just like you did when you set up the Foreign Affairs Yuan before?" ”
"It can be regarded as a solution, this official residence can be attached to the Guozijian and handed over to a trusted person."
"Lone understood." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Then give five thousand guan first, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranges other matters, how about giving the next seven thousand guan?" ”
"That's very good." After so many days of hard work, Li Chengqian finally had a smile. Sent the prince away, seeing that it was almost dark, let the children clean up here, Zhang Yang packed up the account books and prepared to leave.
Li Lizhi looked at the sand table in front of her with her hands behind her back,
"What will my brother-in-law Lishan be like in the future?" Zhang Yang put the account book into the package,
"The current Lishan is still under construction, and in the future, I will also build a sand table that Lishan will look like in the future."
"Well, my brother-in-law's craftsmanship is so good, and Lishan will definitely be beautiful in the future." Zhang Yang instructed: "There may be heavy snow tonight, so you should rest early." Li Zhilang said: "Understood." "Children are always full of energy, and sometimes they can't stand their curiosity, so they always have to do something to distract them, otherwise it will be very noisy.
The prince's charter was sent to Zhongshu Province, and this matter was probably inseparable from the emperor's guidance. Li Shimin listened to Fang Xuanling's narration,
"So, this official strategy is very cleverly written?" Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this strategy has received a lot of guidance from Zhang Shilang. "Regardless of whether this strategy is directed by Zhang Yang or not, it is indeed possible to try to slowly encroach on the family's control over the Jinshi by means of volunteer teaching.
Poor students are the cleanest, they have no background and no family influence. And these remote places will not be targeted by the family.
His Majesty and Fang Xiang discussed for a long time, and a plan slowly took shape. When Zhang Yang learned the whole story, it was already the morning of the next day, and Li Shimin agreed to build another official residence to open an official school.
The original Sifang Hall was renovated into a government and academic office. and Cen Wenwen temporarily served as the supervisor of the Government and Education Department. The prince has put the most effort into the official school, because the prince has been busy for three years before and after the official school was opened.
In the past three years, Li Chengqian has devoted himself almost wholeheartedly. However, after the initial results of the government school, Li Shimin still let someone else serve as the supervisor of the government school and preside over the establishment of the government school.
And the crown prince only has the right to interrogate, and the person who has put in the most effort is excluded. Li Shimin is not a fool, and official education is not a century-old plan of the DPRK and China, which directly affects the imperial examination.
The emperor appointed one of his most trusted courtiers. And the most trusted courtier will take over the power.
The crown prince was ruthlessly excluded. Zhang Yang sat at home drinking tea and listening to Aunt Wang's story, and couldn't help but feel sad for His Royal Highness the Prince.
I worked so hard that I was so busy that my feet were about to break, and I had to ask others everywhere and check the classics.
In the end, this achievement is still His Majesty's. Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Your father also has his reasons for doing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and there are many official and academic affairs, and your father's people are in charge, but there is no such a big burden on the East Palace." ”
"It's rare for a husband to speak to his father." Li Yue's eyes were surprised, and he said, "If it was in the past, the husband would definitely be angry." ”
"Alas...... It's your father's affair with the crown prince, and I'm not good at getting involved in the matter between their father and son. Li Yue drank tea and looked at the scroll in his hand.
"It is not only to rob the achievements of official learning, but also to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, if the prince personally participates in the imperial examination, there will be more trouble in the future." With that, she put down the scroll again.
Noticing his daughter-in-law's gaze, Zhang Yang changed into his official uniform,
"I'm going to cook." Seeing her husband's appearance, Li Yue smiled again.
"Why is Her Highness the Princess laughing?"
"Nothing." Li Yue shook his head and said, "I just think that my husband has done bad things again." Aunt Wang bowed down and stood aside to speak, so she simply didn't ask.
Her Royal Highness the princess has grown up, she is also a mother, Xiao Qingqing is sitting on the side of the little bear and playing with a windmill, she doesn't know how to make this thing spin, her little hand tore it, and dismantled it.
With the knowledge of Her Royal Highness the princess now, Aunt Wang sometimes can't understand the words between the couple. The news that the government and school bureau was going to open spread from Chang'an City.
The old gentleman who left Chang'an City in embarrassment a few days ago did not go far, they found a village outside to live in.
From time to time, he discussed the strategies for dealing with government and learning, and pondered His Majesty's attitude towards the family. Mr. Lu handed over the letter sent from Chang'an City,
"Let's take a look, this is the intention of the DPRK and China to set up a government and school office." Mr. Xu's old eyes were dizzy, and he could still see the words clearly, but he just asked the servants around him to read them.
The old gentlemen listened quietly. After the book was finished, there was silence in the room again.
"Is this the court starting to back down?"
"Perhaps."
"In that case, I can wait if I can go back to my life."
"I've wanted to go back to my hometown for a long time." Mr. Lu listened to these people's discussions, and said in a low voice: "I heard that this Zhang Yang is acting insidiously, and the people of Chang'an City often call him a demon. Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and when they thought of the argument in the Taiji Hall, they fell silent again.
Another old man said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Yang has come to provoke the situation in Hexi since he entered the Ministry of Rites, and he is even more remote to lead Gaochang. ”
"We are worried in our hearts, but others will not consider such a long-term, the official policy of the DPRK and the Central Government is full of concessions, and we should not be underestimated, there may be calculations among them, you should not take it lightly."
"What Elder Xu said is that we all have worries in our hearts, but the children of the family don't think so, so you can't be careless." Everyone's expressions were not good-looking, looking at this simple charter for the establishment of the government and school bureau, on the surface, it seemed that they were sending masters and officials to remote places.
But the content of it is also worrying, whether there will be other involved. Everyone has lived a nail and experienced many things.
With such an attitude, the DPRK and China could not have backed down so quickly.
"In my opinion, the court is afraid." Someone finally spoke. Everyone swept away the previous worries, but began to laugh loudly.
Mr. Lu looked at the wind and snow outside the window, it had been snowing heavily in Guanzhong for several days, and everyone could only rest here for a while and go back after the wind and snow.
The things that the clan has explained have been done. The old guys are tired, they are all so old, they want to go back to their hometown and die of old age.
What about the world? Go back early and feel at ease. Still tired of it. Mr. Lu sighed secretly, the old guys who fought against the court had long been weak, not to mention that there were many young leaders in Li Shimin's hands.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Li Daozong and others are also famous in the Central Plains. As long as these people are still there, even if the gate valve clan wants to rise up, they have to weigh a few points.
Especially that Li Jing, who swept away the Central Plains and laid down half of Li Tang's country, there is also a fear of this person in the family.
The court and the gate valve have been going around all these years. Each other is also aware of their weaknesses, and Li Shimin is an emperor who can forbear, such a person is the most terrible emperor to be an emperor.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, after Li Shimin seized power in Xuanwumen, he began to cultivate obscurity and fight with the Turks to move the Central Plains.
After that, the heavenly khan hibernated for another three or two years, and when he had cultivated his national strength, Li Shimin cleaned the court.
After changing the court to the sky, Gao Shilian, Yu Shinan, Lu Chengqing and others left. Most of the people who are now in power in the court are the old people of the Qin Palace.
Since Gao Shilian helped Li Shimin rebuild the clan history, he retreated from the court, and all the power has fallen into the hands of this emperor.
The alternation of the old and new courts was completed. The family is conservative and self-contained, and the seven-hundred-year-old family is too large, and it has been decayed to the roots, which is not as good as the scenery of the Han Dynasty.
The children of the family are not as good as the generation.
