"Edict to the imperial examination?"

All the people in the temple of Manna were silent.

The juniors on the light curtain seem to make it easier to understand, and they also made a simple diagram.

With the successive advancement of the three schools, the symbols of schools gradually appeared in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, until the third Chongning school, the schools have been regarded as dense.

The role of promoting the three-rounding method is also shown more clearly through the arrows.

The blue signs that represent the county school pulled out arrows one by one, pointing directly to the purple state school, and then the purple state school pulled out arrows one by one, pointing directly to the golden Biyong, and Biyong still used an arrow to point to the red Taixue sign, so that a dense network of schools completely covered the entire territory of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The bits and pieces of light in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty were collected by these institutions, passed on layer by layer, and finally transported to Kyoto, and it seemed as if this large net was breathing.

Li Shimin went straight to the front and took a closer look, and finally seemed to admire:

"Tend to be extremely prosperous in governance, but also tend to be extremely prosperous in party contention, and abandon the ...... in the small end of governing the people"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin seemed to think of something and stopped talking, but said very abruptly:

"This Song Huizong must not know the battle formation, and he will not know how to hunt."

Zhenguan Wenwu looked at each other, and felt inexplicable for a while.

Empress Eldest Sun understands the temper of the person next to the pillow quite well, so she guessed:

"Your Majesty's intention is to say that this move of learning and easy government is also like fighting with the enemy in a battle array, like fighting for life and death between tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests?"

Glancing at his wife appreciatively, Li Shimin nodded and said quietly:

"This Emperor of the Song Dynasty lives in the temple so high that the county will take the land of Changping to facilitate official learning, but not to mention how to take advantage of the land of Changping,"

"If the imperial examination is dismissed, the way to get the official is all returned to the school, so how can the people who profit from the imperial examination not have grievances?"

"This kind of education is like not carrying grain and grass when you march into the army, and the rewards are uneven before the war, and there will be chaos."

"And there are foreign enemies around ......"

Li Shimin stopped talking and didn't want to say any more, and then the Jingkang Rebellion and the Northern Song Dynasty died.

Although this matter has not been described in detail in later generations, judging from his sporadic words, his tragic events or books are endless.

"Your Majesty's opinion is thought-provoking." The eldest grandson Wuji complimented.

Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji's whiskers and horses, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling twisted their brows and thought about what His Majesty had just said.

It is only the fifth year since he ascended the throne and became emperor, but looking at the political affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty, His Majesty is faster than these old ministers who are good at literary affairs.

The analysis of the military formation is quite organized, and then thinking about the dispute between the two parties of the Song Dynasty, Shi Wen Shengyi, fabricating the crime, and looking like you are alive and dead, the two of them felt heavy for a while.

[It should be noted that Huizong's edict to dismiss the imperial examination does not highlight his wisdom or mediocrity, this decision is more like stepping on the accelerator on the road of New Deal reform.

Thanks to the flourishing Wenzhi of the Song Dynasty, the advantages and disadvantages of the Taixue system and the imperial examination system basically ran through the successive Xingxue.

For example, when Qingli Xingxue, Renzong discussed education with Zhao Qunchen, and Ouyang Xiu and others expressed their views on the disadvantages of Chen Keju, and proposed the three-way method for the first time, but it was not adopted at that time.

In the Xining Xingxue presided over by Wang Anshi, the disadvantages of the old and new parties around the imperial examination and Taixue are even more of a war between you and me, and they will not let it go at all.

The most special thing is that Zhezong succeeded to the throne and listened to the government in the Yuan You period, after the old party gained power, almost wanted to abolish the school, and the abolition school led by Su Shi despised Taixue extremely much, saying that if the sage is resurrected, then "the election and cultivation of talents, it must have a way, why bother to learn?" "It is advocated that the law of the century-old imperial examination is immutable.

In contrast, Su Song, who supported Taixue at that time, was also more down-to-earth, shouting for the first time the opinion of "the country takes scholars, and practice is the first", and asked the imperial examination, "But the school is written, how do you know the practice?" ”

However, the most far-sighted discussion on the merits and disadvantages of the two is the opinion of Lu Gong during the second school period, when the imperial examination was in full swing, Shenzong once gave him an advice, asking Shenzong to "build a school first, and at the same time, the school will increase in the age of those who enter the school, and the number of those who will take the imperial examination will decrease", so that it will take one or two decades to ensure a smooth transition from the imperial examination to the school, but unfortunately the struggle between the two parties became more and more fierce, and this opinion was also shelved.

And why did Huizong choose such a radical approach?

Modern knowledge tells us that reform is a redistribution of benefits.

However, the top-down reforms in the feudal era were different, and the reforms initiated by the imperial power and the court were essentially a mutual compromise of interests.

It is obviously unrealistic to change the law and the new policy to seek the prosperity and strength of the country, to the satisfaction of the scholars, and to seek personal benefits, and it is always the people who are hurt in the process of changing the law again and again.

And when the people can no longer squeeze out oil and water, the new party, which has no room for compromise, can only launch a decisive battle against the old party, and the imperial examination will be cancelled.

In fact, looking back at the history of the Song Dynasty, because of the weakness of the changes in the feudal era, all the changes will eventually only become the demand from the subordinates, corresponding to the three revivals, and the first surge in taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Song Dynasty occurred in the Renzong Dynasty.

The second surge in taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Northern Song Dynasty was precisely during the period of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and this was still based on the fact that the miscellaneous taxes of the Renzong Dynasty were not abolished, and the miserable life of ordinary people and the prosperity of landlords annexing land can be imagined.

The extreme corruption of Song Huizong and Cai Jing when they were in power is in our history textbooks, so I will not repeat it here, the most well-known is the outwitting of the birth outline in "Water Margin".

The story of the Water Margin was processed by Shi Nai'an based on the records of the Songjiang Uprising, but the harsh taxes of the Birth Gang were real in Huizong, and it could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to the situation at that time.

The Taixue system, which had lost the constraints of the imperial examinations, also rapidly corrupted.

In fact, during the Yuanfeng period of Shenzong, Taixue had already bred corruption, and Yu Fan angrily sprayed the method of "not to gain by power, that is, to advance with profit", which led to Shenzong's order to investigate, and finally found out that even the governor and Kaifeng Mansion Yin were implicated, forming a shocking Yuanfeng Taixue Prison.

After Huizong abolished the imperial examination, Taixue also quickly deviated from the original intention of the three-round system to take scholars by practice, and set the "eight virtues" to take scholars.

In the case of promotion by the three-rounding method alone, the wind of bribery in competition is in full swing, and the wind of academic corruption is difficult to stop, and it is far inferior to the imperial examination in terms of fairness.

However, the local state and county schools were even more financially difficult, and it was not uncommon for local landlords and joint officials to embezzle the school fields, so the imperial examination was reconvened 16 years later.

Although Chongning Xingxue ultimately ended in failure, on the whole, Huizong Shi still inherited the first two changes, lifted Wang Anshi to the side of the Confucian sage, and finally advanced the ultimate form of Xingwen in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, looking back on the three revivals, although a hundred shortcomings can be listed, the guiding ideology of Wang Anshi alone shouting out that "the sky is not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate" is already worthy of affirmation.

Wang Anshi is the one who really ignited the fire of the Northern Song Dynasty's reform of the law and the revival of learning, but I am afraid that he himself is not sure how far this reform can go.

After all, what the instructor said quite clearly is that the matter of law reform is not a dinner party.

Relying solely on the emperor's decree from top to bottom, and wanting to complete the distribution of benefits without bloodshed, was doomed to failure almost from the beginning. 】

Kong Ming felt a little dry in his mouth, and drank the tea in front of him but still felt that it was not enough, and finally held the empty water cup in a daze.

The face is like a peaceful lake, but in his heart, there seems to be turbulent waves and thunder fighting, whether it is Wang Anshi's bold words, or the later generation's views on the outline of the change, it is difficult for Kong Ming to calm down.

The short "rambling talk" brought him a much louder shock than the previous candle shadow axe.

It seems to be talking about governance everywhere, but it doesn't seem to be talking about governance.

The details of the words are intriguing, and the amazing words are worth pondering, so in the end, Kong Ming turned his head and bumped into Pang Tong's wry eyes.

"There is no perfect way?"

Pang Tong asked straightforwardly.

"That Fan Zhongyan is noble-minded, and this Wang Anshi is also a person who can spare his life for the world."

Kong Ming also had a lot of emotion when he said these two names, and then said:

"But neither you nor I can ask for the people of the world, like these two, who have the heart of a sage and a noble ambition."

Pang Tong was silent, but Lu Su beside him was quite excited, and said with a smile:

"If everyone in the world is like a sage, then why do we need to work so hard?"

He is now at the invitation of Liu Bei Kongming, and he is in charge of Taixue everything, so what he sees now can be said to open up another world for Lu Su, and many teaching methods can't wait to return to Taixue to give it a try now.

Lu Su's laughter also made everyone no longer care, after all, from this light curtain, it is impossible to ask everyone to be a saint in the future generations.

And...... Kong Ming pondered that no matter the complicated situation and enmity between China and its neighbors in the future, or the unpredictable power of science and technology, I am afraid that this kind of problem will become more complicated.

Fa Zheng looked up from the transcription and said disdainfully:

"The Son of Heaven is the one who changes the law, but he has to be tired and tired, and the people will suffer and the people will suffer."

"While talking to the people of the world about the cause of the Holy King for ten thousand years, while paying taxes and miscellaneous taxes non-stop, the people of Li have no livelihood."

"Such a change may be beneficial in the future generations, but it may not be as good as the people at that time."

Fa Zheng's exclamation made Zhang Feima Chao understand.

Ma Chao hesitated a little at the moment and said:

"In this case, why not let Zhong Ming Ding Food House make a fortune for the benefit of the world and cast a good name?"

Zhang Fei laughed, patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said:

"The Song people shouted so well, but they didn't even want to reduce the miscellaneous taxes."

"Meng Qi, if you want you to wait for a monk, it's better to ask him to die."

Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao, who was being photographed, and smiled, and agreed:

"What Yide said is vulgar, but reading the history and seeing the incident caused by Emperor Xiaowu's calculation of the order can also be an analogy."

To put it mildly, it is also sentimental:

"When we saw the old things of the Tang Dynasty before, we felt that they did not learn from the disaster of the previous dynasty."

"But now see this Song Dynasty history ......"

After a deep groan, Liu Bei simply tore up another piece of paper and wrote it with a pen, and then Tuan Chengmaru bent his fingers and flicked into the light curtain.

Liu Bei: This Song Laomin has come to this point, and he doesn't feel that what Erfeng said about the people of the king and the water is still in his ears? 〗

Li Shimin, who woke up in contemplation, suddenly felt his eyebrows jump:

It's said that you can call your majesty, but it's so difficult?

However, thinking that Emperor Zhaolie is the lord of Wuhou, and if you count the age, Emperor Zhaolie is also hundreds of years older than himself, Li Shimin also chose not to care about it for the time being, but first felt it:

"Those who can make "Qinyuan Spring" are really strange people through the ages, and I am not as good as it."

His people's discussion of change, although the words are straightforward but quite worth recalling, just eight characters to break the old and new for the endless situation.

I think it is similar, but my words are not complicated.

Fang Xuanling didn't feel as much emotion as His Majesty, so he chose to start from the basic point and exclaimed:

"The country takes the judges, and the practice comes first. Such good words should be the subject of the country. ”

Du Ruhui interjected: "If the question is in school, it should be slightly revised, if it is a scholar, it should be the first, how about it?" ”

"If you don't do it, it's still a little complicated, according to my opinion, this practical theory, as the "Book of Shang" said, it is not difficult to know, but it is difficult to do, if you want to do it, you should know what you can do."

Wei Zheng also interjected into the discussion.

Fang Du and the others both felt that there was some truth, so they simply asked: "Then what is the book?" ”

Li Shimin, who was listening from the sidelines, immediately said:

"How about the unity of knowledge and action, to realize the people?"

The three ministers pondered for a moment, and even if they passed.

Du Ruhui even smiled:

"Your Majesty's inscription can also be discussed by students, what does it mean to know? What does it mean? What is truth? What is a citizen? ”

For Zhenguan Wenwu, the start-up of the Tang Dynasty can be described as a waste to be revived, whether it is to change the law or the imperial examination, it is useless to think about it now.

In comparison, it is better to take the essence of Song Xingxue to strengthen the cultural rule of the Tang Dynasty to be more realistic.

……

There was only Liu Bei lonely on the light curtain, and one sentence made Zhao Kuangyin a little embarrassed.

After all, it's okay to say anything else, the Song and Tang dynasties are only a hundred years apart, and as a result, they easily forget the old things of Zhenguan at the beginning of Tang Xing, which is really not right.

At the moment, he was also writing on the stone table, saying that he would never forget the mention of Emperor Zhaolie.

Zhao Guangyi saw his brother's diligence, and seemed to be aggrieved by his brother, but in fact, he showed his own merits:

"Brother, what's the concern? My Song literati also said that the ancestors are not enough to law! ”

"This Liu Bei's old words of Emperor Wen of Tang may not be able to make a statement."

Zhao Pu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he chose to shut up and let the officials deal with it themselves.

Zhao Guangyi saw his brother who was busy on the stone table turn his head.

Although the elder brother's face was dark, Zhao Guangyi had always been good at observing words and feelings, and he still read his brother's expression from it.

Among them, some were surprised and some wanted to speak and stopped, some couldn't bear and were a little relieved, and finally spoke:

"Is it false or true that you are so stupid at this time?"

Zhao Guangyi was suddenly puzzled, but he still said carefully:

"It's good for the younger brother to be favored by the official family."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head sincerely and said:

"If you are not stupid, how can you say it?"

After that, Zhao Kuangyin had a lot of thoughts in his heart, could it be that those fists just now really broke it a little?

But these don't need to be taken to heart for the time being, Zhao Kuangyin turned around and ordered:

"If Li Yu is captured, he should be courteous, and summon Qian Yu to come to Bianliang together."

He also briefly summed up what later generations said.

It costs a lot of money to engage in education.

Li Yu and Qian Yu should be willing to do their best.
