Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2202
Another day early in the morning, after the court meeting.

His Majesty Li Er summoned several chancellors and ministers in Liangyi Hall to discuss the affairs of the academy.

This meeting was not held in the main hall of Liangyi Hall, but in a side hall. It was only midsummer and the sun was shining in the sky. However, a pool outside the hall was covered with lotus flowers, and the lotus leaves were like a cover. The breeze blew past the pool. There are ripples on the surface of the water, the lotus leaves are swaying, and the koi in the pond are swimming.

The wind blows into the hall, and it should be cool.

The interior of the hall is decorated like a government affairs hall. A long wooden table made of red sandalwood is extremely smooth polished with fine sand. It is surrounded by intricate patterns of auspicious clouds and auspicious animals. It has been painted with a layer of paint. Appreciate people.His Majesty Li Er was at the head, and there were two rows of red sandalwood chairs on both sides of the table. The high-ranking ones sat in the front row, while the lower ones could only sit in the back row.

The servant brought out the tea and pastries, and His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to let everyone speak freely.

This extremely confident king has never bothered to rely on those majestic forms to show his prestige. On the contrary, he prefers to mingle with the ministers. The arrangement of such meetings is very in line with his appetite.

Sitting alone, while the others are standing, can you show off your dignity and make them loyal to the emperor?
Pure nonsense.

The real majesty of the emperor requires unrivaled feats and excellent means to manage. When your behavior and achievements are enough to be called a qualified king, then even if you are lying on the bed and dying, the ministers under your hands Still sincerely convinced and loyal, not daring to have the slightest thought of disobedience.

On the contrary, relying on some methods to pile up the seemingly distinct and obvious majesty, it is extremely fragile. Those ministers just have to stand respectfully because of the form, but they never take you seriously in their hearts.

When it's time to get rid of you and establish a new king, I don't even frown...

His Majesty Li Er would not do that.

He sat on the first chair, looked at the civil servants and military generals on the left and right sides of the long table in front of him, and said relaxedly: "Everyone, let's talk about who is suitable to be an official of the academy. Let's discuss it and brainstorm."

Logically speaking, the establishment of the academy is not a government affair. His Majesty Li Er is in charge, and it can be done by calling the big bosses of the Guozijian, Hongwenguan, and Chongwenguan educational institutions to discuss it.However, because His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to the academy, it has become the center of the game of all parties. He called everyone to come over for a discussion, to put forward their opinions and ideas, and if anyone did not take advantage of this place in the end, he would not be able to complain. The emperor is eccentric...

That's why it was not brought up for discussion in the Tai Chi Hall, but placed in the two Yi Halls.

More than [-] officials squeezed into the hall, almost the top of the political structure of the Tang Dynasty, the operation of the empire, the formulation and implementation of policies, all came from the hands of these people.

Fang Jun, who was sitting at the back on the left, even thought maliciously: If someone throws two thunderbolts at the two halls of ceremonies at this time...

That would be great fun.

More than 30 imperial elites gathered together, but the emperor asked a question, and everyone looked at each other, and they all kept silent tacitly.

No one wants to be the first bird...

His Majesty Li Er looked around for a week, and he was clear in his heart. He pointed to Fang Jun and said, "Fang Jun presided over the preparation of the academy from the very beginning. You have the most right to speak. Tell me what you think."

Everyone looked at Fang Jun.

The emperor was right. From conception, preparation, to the near completion of this academy, it was entirely planned by Fang Jun. Even the money from the royal family to build the academy was earned by Fang Jun to help the emperor.Nowadays, the gold and silver brought back by ship after ship from Japan is the key to the long-term operation of the academy. No one can deny Fang Jun's right to speak in this academy.

So even though many people envied and envied Fang Jun for being approved by the emperor to be the "secretary" of the academy and become the most powerful person in the academy besides the emperor, no one dared to stand up and say a word of opposition.

Fang Jun was a little upset, Your Majesty, why did you push me out to be this early bird?
No matter which one I propose can enter the academy as an official, it will be opposed by the vast majority of people. It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, but I don't want to be angry all day long. It's boring...

With a dry cough, Fang Jun looked at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Since Your Majesty ordered this minister to speak up, how dare I speak up?"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, very imposing: "Say whatever you want, right or wrong, I forgive you for your innocence."

He was thinking that Fang Jun was going to introduce a very rare candidate...

Fang Jun nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then he turned his head, looked at the ministers in the hall, and said to himself: "In fact, although this academy is large in scale and has a large number of students in the future, because of the vertical management framework, it does not need too many redundant officials. Your Majesty is in charge of everything, and the humble ministers are in charge of specific affairs, and recruiting some experienced clerks from the Imperial College and other yamen to be in charge of specific affairs is enough to manage the entire academy in an orderly manner...too many officials Come in, but the manpower is complicated and redundant, which not only delays the work speed, but also increases the burden on the academy, which is really unnecessary. So, Your Majesty, let's directly discuss the candidates for the faculty of each discipline of the academy..."

All the ministers in the hall were stunned.

motherfucker!

Well, you are the second house, the college of Nuoda University, countless positions, you actually want to take it all by yourself?

Outrageous!

Yu Zhining, who had just replaced Linghu Defen as Minister of Rites, said hastily: "Young son-in-law, the academy has a lot to do with it, how can you be so trifling? Even if you are talented, you must have a few officials who are safe to do things to help you, otherwise Once something goes wrong, no one can afford it!"

He is really anxious.

Originally, Fang Jun was the most steadfast supporter by the prince's side. When the northern border stormed and won consecutive victories, the entire East Palace was about to be overjoyed!With such a well-known military general assisting the crown prince, it is almost certain that there will be no accidents in the position of crown prince!
Even the officials of the Eastern Palace will follow suit...

However, this guy doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly. After returning from Beijiang, he should have taken advantage of the glory and radiance to further unify the various factions in the army, and even increase his influence in the court, but he did not retaliate. Retired, after handing over the errand of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, he devoted himself to the academy...

Even though the crown prince still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, the officials of the Eastern Palace are talking about it and their hearts are floating.

Everyone knows that the academy will be a platform for imperial officials to "incubate", and that a large number of students will take up leadership positions in various yamen of the Tang Dynasty in the future. For the crown prince, if he can control most of the resources of the academy, it is tantamount to mastering the future. .

Originally, Fang Jun served as the secretary of the academy, which meant that officials from the Eastern Palace Department would benefit from it, but it was unexpected that Fang Jun wanted to play a good show of taking it all by himself...

How could the Donggong family, who had long regarded the Academy as their "private land", tolerate such behavior?

So Yu Zhining immediately stood up and expressed his opposition.

With him standing up, the others lost their scruples and spoke out one after another.

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Academy, and we also know that the talents cultivated by the Academy will become the backbone of the empire in the future. Such a major event is the first time in the world, and there are thousands of connections in every aspect. Even though the son-in-law is extremely talented, after all manpower is sometimes poor, so we still need to deploy more officials."

He was also a little dissatisfied with Fang Jun.

We are son-in-law Weng, political allies, do you still want to kick me away at this time?

Unrighteous!
Anyway, in the opinion of these political bigwigs, you should do as much as you want for him, but as long as you don't take care of their interests once, you will want to turn your face...

Fang Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely, turning a deaf ear to these words, the old god was there.

Changsun Wuji took a sneak peek at His Majesty Li Er, saw that His Majesty was expressionless, thought for a while, and said: "Since the regulations of the Academy imitate the Imperial Academy, then naturally it should be like the Imperial Academy, setting up two 'sectors' to handle Confucianism. The administration of instruction is in charge of the five studies of economics, military affairs, arithmetic, calligraphy, and investigation of things."

In the planning book of "Zhenguan Academy", it is clearly stated that the academy will set up five disciplines: Confucianism, Mathematical Sciences, Military Science, Book Science, and Gewu Science, each with its own teaching area, not affiliated with each other, and independent.

When the ministers heard Changsun Wuji's words, they were shocked.

It's still the "Elder Sun Yinren" who is so powerful, he doesn't discuss the issue of the official at all, but directly targets Fang Jun, trying to snatch the power from Fang Jun!

Aren't you afraid that the mallet will go crazy?

And everyone paid attention to the emperor's expression, but saw that the emperor seemed to be deaf to these words, without any strange expression...

What's going on here?

Could it be that His Majesty has already agreed with Changsun Wuji not to grant Fang Jun monopoly?

There is a kind of wavering meaning...
