The cabinet and the military department mobilized troops and arranged grain transportation, but at this time, although they were very busy, there was silence inside and outside the palace, and everyone was quietly waiting for something. /。 ＱВ⑤。 cOm\\

At the beginning of December of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Concubine Hui Wei Zhenzhen was in labor.

This is Yang Xuanning's first child, not to mention the mood of the parents involved, but also to take into account the environment of the family at that time, the importance of this child is even far greater than the capture of several counties, almost comparable to Yang Xuanning's capture of Luoyang in the future.

Even if there was a great war in the north, the kings watched closely and sent envoys.

No matter how brilliant Yang Xuanning is, no matter how wise and martial he is, if there are no qualified children, then in this era of this world, everything is empty.

Therefore, whether or not to be able to give birth to a child normally, and whether to be able to give birth to a boy, can even be equated with providence.

If a child is born, or even a boy, it means providence, which is ridiculous to modern people, but it does reassure the subjects of the entire South and increase their loyalty by a few points---- if there is such a standard of loyalty.

Even in the north, many forces and gate lords will increase their willingness to take refuge.

In this atmosphere, not only the delivery room was set up, a team of doctors was arranged, and experienced, qualified and reliable midwives were selected to serve at any time. The members of the cabinet, even waiting in the side hall, did not leave a single one.

The side hall is small and exquisite, there is a small lake not far away, although there is no fish play at this time, but it is also a clear wave rippling, the corridor curved bridge, connect with each other, but of course there is no electric light at this time. Although it is a side hall, it can accommodate dozens of people, so it is dark inside. The lights and candles shine brightly.

The cabinet members and Yang Xuanning each sat down to drink tea. "Wang Tong's book of enlightenment has been written. Presented with a royal view. Li Bo took out a book and offered it.

Yang Xuan froze his mind, took it slightly, turned a few pages, and closed it again. said: "Today I am upset and have no intention of reading it, so Mr. can come to me for me." ”

Now the cabinet, in terms of title, has become customized, and anyone who enters the cabinet is the prime minister, but the prime minister is not called his surname, but directly called sir. And other prime ministers added surnames, calling them Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, and so on.

"Yes, I've read it. His question is 1,200 words, and there are words for daily use. It can be called the Book of Enlightenment. The words are smooth and unpretentious. In simple terms, the love is sincere, and the rhyme of three words and sentences is very easy to recite. Li Bo didn't shirk and said.

"Well, Wang Tong is worthy of being a great Confucian, I heard that his father, Wang Long, is also good at academics and was once a doctor of Chinese studies, right?"

"Exactly, Wang Tongzi Zhongyan, ancestral home Qi County, his father Wang Long, generation of Confucianism, in the first emperor, once raised the talent of the highest, the official to Shu County Sihu Shuzuo, Shu King to read. Concentrate on writing the "Continuation of the Six Classics", gather disciples to give lectures in Bainiuxi, Tonghua, and the disciples are in columns, often in columns, often reaching hundreds of people. Li Bo said lightly.

Wang Tonghao sought his own name, imitated Confucius as the "Continuation of the Six Classics", and when he lectured in Hefen, he praised himself as Wang Confucius. It is very flashy, however, these three words of the new scripture are of great benefit to the world, and future generations can also become famous, but at this time, the widow will not take it, and he will be awarded the title of the national scholar, and he will be given 500 acres of land, which will not be replaced by hereditary, and he will continue to be an academic family. Yang Xuanning thought for a while and said: "The widow set up a knight is to continue the family, concentrate on technology and learning, and set up a loose official, just for such a person who cannot govern, but can be used by scholars, well, if you add grace, at most you will give a loose official, what do you think of the loose official?"

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the official rank determines the privileges, the Yang and Tang dynasties set up a system, the civil and military are divided into one to nine grades, each product has two levels, a total of 18 levels, and the noble titles have eight levels: king, county king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, and national scholar.

Loose officials, that is, official positions that have grades and privileges, but are not hereditary, and do not really govern the government, also have nine grades and eighteen grades, most of which are the titles of officials after retirement, or those special people who are academics and do not govern the government, and there is no such thing as an incumbent official plus a loose official rank.

Wensanguan system: from the first product of the opening of the palace with the third division of the doctor, from the second product of the special into the Guanglu doctor, from the second product of the Guanglu doctor, from the third product of the gold purple Guanglu doctor, from the third product of the silver Qingguanglu doctor, from the fourth product of the Zheng Doctor, the second fourth product of the general discussion of the doctor, the fifth product of the Zhongsan doctor, the second fifth grade of the Fengzheng doctor, the sixth grade of Chengde Lang, the second sixth grade of Wenlin Lang, the seventh grade of the Xuan Lang, the second seventh grade of the lower Xuan Lang, the eighth grade of the Shi Lang, the second eight products of the lower Shi Lang, the ninth grade of the Dengshilang, the second ninth grade of the Dengshilang

"Wang, Wang Tongguan to Shu County Sihu Shuzuo, but it is the sixth grade, and now the king can be promoted to the fifth rank of the loose official, how about it?"

"Very good, I will give the doctor of the five grades of Zhongsan, give a shallow crimson belt, and Yu Lu will be one and a half of the official according to the system. "Yang Xuanning thought about it and made a decision.

Yang and Tang officials, the land and Lu include Lu rice, land, and materials, the first is Lu rice, 800 stone for the first grade, 700 stone from the first grade, 600 stone from the second grade, and 500 stone from the second grade...... From the ninth grade to thirty stones, they are all supplied once a year, and the number of scattered officials is halved, and one hundred catties is stipulated as one stone, at least there is no need to buy grain.

After a pause, Yang Xuanning said again: "The Hanlin Academy reviewed, if there is no mistake in the text, the cabinet will pass it again, and it can be printed, and the first edition of 10,000 copies will be distributed to all counties as enlightenment courses." "Since the invention of paper in the Han Dynasty, the writing materials have been much lighter and more economical than the oracle bones, slips, gold stones and silk used in the past, but copying books is still very labor-intensive and far from meeting the needs of society. Therefore, in the Sui Dynasty, engraving printing was invented.

Originally, in history, it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Bi Sheng invented movable type printing and improved the shortcomings of engraving printing. In the Qing period of Song Renzong, the cement movable type was made. Engraving printing can print hundreds or even thousands of books, which plays a great role in the spread of culture, but the stereotype is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and most of the books often take several years, and the storage of plates takes up a lot of space, and it is often damaged by deformation, moth-eaten and corrosion.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the technology of movable type was developed unprecedentedly due to the support of the imperial court. However, copper movable type has been popular in Wuxi, Suzhou, and Nanjing, Jiangsu. Therefore, now Yang Xuanning directly wills and explains the method. The use of movable copper type, although it cost a lot at the time, but this point is for the country. It is simply insignificant, divided into five fonts. Most of the needs can be met, and it has been completed.

"Your Majesty, are the other books printed?" Wei Zheng stepped forward and asked.

"Don't be in a hurry in advance, wait for the Hanlin Academy to build a library. The books were first sorted out and archived, and then they were printed in a unified manner, and the decree of the new dynasty organized by the cabinet has not yet been perfected, so it will be said in a few years. Yang Xuan sighed and said: "In the future, when the new law comes out, I will take this as the main subject of the political examination." ”

The government of a country lies in the law, which was also known in ancient times, basically. A law, perfected in ten years, is already remarkable. Now it is the continuation of the Sui method.

Seeing that the prime minister had no opinion, he said again: "Widow." Take the virtue of the people. This is the principle of the imperial examination. In the autumn of next year, the first to take the village exam, as for the county magistrate, the basic materials for the compilation have not yet been completed, and Zhu Qing only needs to grasp this point. ”

Everyone immediately responded, even the family Fang Xuanling did not have a different color, which couldn't help but make Yang Xuanning full of joy.

As a huge empire, in fact, the technical conditions of communication, production, transportation and other conditions are not enough to support the operation of the empire, there must be a core idea of ruling the whole country, it can be said that in the case of ancient technical conditions, the greatest value of Confucianism is to adopt unified values.

Under the Confucian system, it has become a large trap and a small circle of concentric circles, so that individuals, families, clans, countries, and the world have formed a simplified model with a similar structure, which greatly reduces the cost of ruling the land.

In the history of the world, only China adopted a large trap and a small circle of concentric circles, which made the real reason why the huge empire reached the limit of natural boundaries before the Industrial Revolution, and other countries could not maintain it for a long time.

China's change of dynasty is just a change of world, but basically the civilization and pattern remain the same, which is the role of Confucianism.

The shortcomings and problems of Confucianism, as it is now called, are the ills of maintaining a great empire in the face of insufficient technical conditions, or rather, a necessary price.

Therefore, after Yang Xuanning understood this, he decided that in the three steps of the imperial examination, the first to take the villagers was to focus on Confucianism, and the main point of the examination was that it could basically form a unified ideological and moral connotation.

However, on the basis of taking the county scholars, they will be admitted to the county court and county school and become students, and they must study for at least two years, strengthen the systematic study of ----the basic calculations, basic taxation, political principles, and basic laws, and the Confucian content will not be examined, and these contents still need to be written, and the content is not deep, but it is necessary to grasp the status and operating principle of military and political affairs in national politics as a whole, so that future officials can have a basic concept of land.

The county clerk can be awarded an official position from the ninth rank to the ninth grade, and obtain the starting career.

As for the palace to get a county scholar, that is to further study.

This is the principle of taking the scholar to the virtue and using the scholar to the talent, fortunately at this time, although the Han Wu Emperor respected Confucianism, but in fact did not do it at all, plus from the two Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, experienced the division and turmoil of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the ruler or attached importance to Huang Lao's thought, or admired Buddhism, and Confucianism declined, basically there is no big force, therefore, there is no obstacle at all.

Even in the current Confucian family, no one thinks that officials should use Confucianism, after all, in this era, it is still quite normal for officials to use talents.

In other words, Confucianism cultivates morality and only then cultivates law and politics, which are two sets of systems, and they are integrated.

In the midst of idle talk, the direction of the country's major policies was decided,

Yu Xuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The Wa Kingdom has sent an envoy to our court to pay tribute, I don't know if the king can prepare to meet him?"

"Wa Guo?" Yang Xuanning was slightly taken aback and said.

"The king, the Wa country is an overseas country, when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the first time I saw the record, gave the king of the Wa slave seal the golden seal of the King of the Han Dynasty, and later, the Wa State dedicated his life to the Han An Emperor, to Wei, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom sent an envoy to Wei. Wei Ci was pro-Wei Wei Wang, and then, the queen sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and during this dynasty, she captured the five cities of Silla, and sent an envoy to Sui to pay tribute for the first time, and then came to pay tribute many times. Seeing that he was surprised, Yu Yu thought he didn't know, so he explained.

Yang Xuanning really didn't know, but he listened attentively, it turned out. Two hundred years ago, Japan invaded the Korean Peninsula one after another and clashed with the Korean state at that time. As a result, he was beaten back by Baekje, but only fifty years later. They also sent troops to invade the Korean Peninsula, but Goryeo continued to grow stronger, so Japan clashed with Goryeo again.

It can be said that Japan is at this time when it is time to establish a formal state system. However, he did not forget to invade the mainland, but in the end he had few soldiers and few people, and he could not afford to do a big thing, but one of the most important tributes was that he hoped to unite with the Central Plains regime to destroy Goryeo and give Japan a land stronghold.

Hearing this, Yang Xuanning remembered it again since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and there was eventually a Tang generation, and Japan sent a total of 19 times.

Among the Japanese people who came to Tang. In addition to the official envoys to the Tang Dynasty, there were also many foreign students, scholars and monks who accompanied the Tang missions or took merchant ships to and frequently travel between the two countries.

The Japanese are willing to risk whale waves. It must be a great mission. Japanese scholar Wen Ikeda pointed out this when explaining Sino-Japanese relations in the Tang Dynasty. The purpose of Japan's envoys to the Tang Dynasty was to ask Confucian scholars to teach scriptures --- books. Proceeds of money. All the city's literature, the sea and return.

I vaguely remember that Japan's Taika reform was almost in this century.

After being silent for a while, Yang Xuanning, as the king, naturally would not be rash, his heart paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The widow will not go north in the future, please wait for the envoy to wait, and wait for the widow to enter Luoyang, and then meet again." ”

He also said: "You can give a house, and you can give it a business in advance, Song Qing, this matter will be explained to you, as for the affairs of the Japanese state to seek a military state, you can ignore it for the time being." ”

In this era, it is true that we can not take the Japanese country to heart.

Song Shidao stepped forward and said, "The king is released."

Yang Xuanning nodded, he decided to order Jinyiwei, travel with the ship, depict the sea route, and enter the interior of Japan, get to know the local people, and find out the situation, this matter is not in a hurry, to put it bluntly, there will be no big moves in at least fifteen years, so the time for investigation and buying land is more than enough.

However, this certainly does not have to be said in the Cabinet.

After saying something, Yang Xuanning was still upset, but after drinking a few cups of tea, he pondered for a long time, knowing that his fantasy was useless at the moment, so he took out a few more books to read, and the room was quiet, and unconsciously, his heart quieted down.

Seeing that dusk was coming, all of a sudden, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, a female official and the imperial physician came in: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, you have a son, and the mother and son are safe." ”

"Ah!" Yang Xuanning, who was studying, hurriedly stood up, in this era, even if it is an official family, it is a very dangerous thing to give birth to a child, even the emperor's family is inevitable, it will start now, however, remember the rules, at this time, it is not allowed to enter to see, after cleaning, it will be visible on the second day, so he said: "Very good, Concubine Hui has a meritorious child, and she is specially promoted to a virtuous concubine, and the Ministry of Rites sacrifices to the Taimiao, comforts the ancestors, and thanks heaven and earth, you and others will also be rewarded with ten taels of silver, the midwife will be rewarded with twenty taels, and the imperial doctor will be rewarded with one hundred taels!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, and the ministers have received the order. Suddenly, cabinet members rushed to congratulate Yang Xuanning. During the Great War in the north, Wang's eldest son was born, which is equal to the will of heaven, and it is indeed something worth celebrating, now the queen is Song Yuzhi, the concubine is Shang Xiu, and the concubine is Shi Qingxuan, and now Concubine Hui Wei Zhenzhen has a son, and it is the first son, and it is also possible to be promoted to a virtuous concubine, and now the fourth concubine has a vacant seat for Concubine De.

Yang Xuanning stood in the venue, turned around excitedly a few times, waved his hand again, and asked the ministers to take their seats in order, and said: "The eldest son of the king was born, and all kinds of etiquette should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites. ”

Yu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had already prepared, said: "Back to the king, the eldest son born to Concubine Xian is the eldest son of the concubine, and the minister is going to formulate it in the Sui system, I don't know what the specifications are?"

Yang Xuanning thought about it for a while, and said: "As soon as the widow enters Luoyang, he will be called the emperor, so let's follow the rules of the prince, this is the eldest son of the emperor, as long as it does not exceed the rules, it should be a little grander." ”

The people present already knew about this, so they said, "Your Excellency understands. ”

Only Song Shidao was silent, Yang Xuanning can be said to be quite fond of Wei Zhenzhen, and Mr. gave birth to the prince, and was promoted to one of the four concubines, although the four concubines are not queens, but they are also extremely noble and qualified to compete for the unification, Song Yuzhi must give birth to a prince within a few years in order to consolidate his position, and he wants to remind him later.

Yang Xuanning said again: "The eldest son of the widow is born, you can reward the three armies with wine and food, and you can also strengthen their morale, and criminals and others can be amnesty to show good fortune." ”

Yang Xuanning will not be completely pardoned, but will only be reduced by one degree, such as the death penalty can be avoided for beheading, and other crimes will also be reduced by one degree, of course, some special crimes of rebellion are not included.

"Commandment. Li Bo and the others also took it for granted and said in response.

When the news came out, there were countless congratulatory songs, and the hearts of the army and the people were greatly shaken, and all the heroes in the world who got the news were secretly distressed, and sent messengers to celebrate.

You must know that Yang Xuanning started from scratch and swept the south within a few years, no matter who he is, whether it is hatred or envy, he has to admit his talent, but everyone believes that Yang Xuanning's Achilles heel is that the family is not prosperous, especially if he has no son, as long as he has an accident, in the system of the family world, it is equivalent to the collapse of the overall situation, and many officials and families who wanted to take refuge have scruples.

And this son, born at this time, is almost equal to the weather vane of the destiny of heaven, even if it is not compared to the national jade seal, it can also be compared with the political significance of Yang Gong's treasure.
