Prime Minister

Chapter 580
Taixue can be said to be a revisit to Zhang Yue.

When Zhang Yue was studying at Taixue, Wu Zhongfu, the 'Tie Yushi', was in charge of Gou Guozijian.

Now that Zhang Yue is a new official, the supervisors of the Guozijian, the director, and the direct lecturers all accompany Zhang Yue to the "Zhi Shan Tang" to meet the most holy teacher.

After paying homage to the former teacher, everyone sat down in the hall and chatted.

The eight direct lectures are responsible for teaching, the supervisor, the chief bookkeeper is responsible for the cashier of money and grain, and the document book.

They are all ordinary Beijing officials or selected candidates. Among them, Liu Jiancheng is just a prince Zhongshe, or a Yin official, that is, a miscellaneous background.

It's a bit of a coincidence, this Liu Jiancheng was the one who almost married his daughter to Huang Haoyi...

As for the person in charge of the Guozijian, it is not called Guozijian Jijiu. Originally, the highest official position was the supervisor of the Guozijian (Panjian), and the supervisor of the Guozijian (Pan Guozijian) was the minister of the two systems or above.

As for the officials below the two systems, they are all in charge of the official affairs of Gou Guozijian, referred to as Guan Gou.

Although Zhang Yue is waiting for the system, he has not been promoted to the two systems and can only be called Guangou.

Guangou Guozijian has certain personnel powers, such as Guozijian storytelling, and Guozijian lectures can be recruited by themselves without the appointment of the court.

Similar to this is the county school, the school orthodoxy and teaching instructions of the prefecture school are also collected by the county magistrate or the prefecture.

Of course, there are also student representatives, such as Guozijianzheng and Guozijianlu, who are selected from among the Tai students and awarded official positions by the imperial court, giving them prestige and assisting the school in managing the school's school spirit and discipline.

Zhang Yue was like this when he was studying in Taixue. The students managed it by themselves, and there were also the chiefs in each fasting, and the fasting was managed. The teachers generally didn't care about anything except teaching.

Finally, there are library officials, cook supervisors, Zhiza (doing miscellaneous work), Xu Chang (the highest official among subordinate officials), subordinate officials, and Li Zuo (responsible for copying books). These are all miscellaneous officials, and they are not qualified to appear in Zhishan Hall today. .

There is a clear distinction between officials and officials.

At the same time, there are also the official positions of Guozijian Cheng and Guozijian Doctor, but they are only used for promotion of the official, and they do not actually work in Guozijian.

Everyone sat down and chatted for a while. According to reason, their official positions and Zhang Yue's rank are very different, so they should be very respectful.

But in fact it was not the case, except for Jian Cheng and Jian Zhu Zhu, the few straight talkers treated Zhang Yue neither overbearing nor humble, and treated each other equally.

Straightforward lectures are all thorough in classics and history, and they are very respected by students on weekdays.They don't need to ask for help except for teaching and educating people, so compared to other officials, they naturally lack the worship of power.

Among the straight talks are Jiao Qianzhi, Yan Fu...

Jiao Qianzhi, Zhang Yue respected him very much, because Jiao Qianzhi was Ouyang Xiu's disciple, and at the same time, the other party was also a school teacher invited by Duke Lu to teach his children.

In the sixth year of Jiayou's reign, Jiao Qianzhi was elected by Mr. Lu to become the direct speaker of the Imperial Academy.

As for Yan Fu, the 48th grandson of Yan Zi, he was also supported by Ouyang Xiu and bestowed a Jinshi background. Zhiping spoke directly for the Imperial Academy for four years.

In addition, there are Liang Shimeng and Lu Tong. Lu Tong also taught Zhang Yue at the beginning, and his qualifications are absolutely old. There is another person who seems to be the most difficult to get along with. This person's name is Su Ye... He is Su Shunqin's son, Zhang Shen's son. son in law.

Su Ye was the first to say: "I heard that Wang Jiefu said that the Taixue was established in the third generation. In fact, it was only a place for the nobles to learn etiquette, not a place for imparting knowledge and studying knowledge."

"It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the school in the current sense was really established, and it was also a real government-run school. I don't know what the waiting system thinks about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

The more Zhang knew that Su Ye was testing his own political opinions, the more Zhang disliked the atmosphere where he had to express his views on everything, which could easily lead to strife in the officialdom.

Zhang Yue said vaguely: "Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted Taixue, it was not as good as when Hanshun and Zhi were two emperors. At that time, there were 540 rooms in the Taixue building, 850 and [-] rooms, and there were [-] people in the Taixue. How can it be compared with today?"

At this time, Jiao Qianzhi said: "I heard that Zhang Daizhi is in favor of building a school?"

Zhang Yue thought to himself, he had never said that, but he had never denied it either.This time, he used Zhang Heng's Shangshu to promote his own ideas.

Zhang Yuedao said: "Jiao Zhi said that the school is ordered by the officials, and the hope of governing must be to use scholars to concentrate on classics and skills, so that the school can be built by the imperial court."

"Scholars concentrate on classics, waiting for the court to build a school? Could it be that the court used the school to lure the world's elite?" Liang Shimeng asked.

Liang Shimeng was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, a student of Ouyang Xiu, and was recommended by Wu Kui as a direct lecturer of Taixue.Wu Kui and Wang Anshi were also at odds.

Before Zhang Yue could speak, Lu Tong said, "As the saying goes, it is beneficial to the country, how can there be a cliff? I only hate that we are not doing enough!"

Zhang Yue nodded to Lu Tong, knowing that he was helping him out of the siege, after all, his teacher was the most reliable.

Zhang Yue said: "The matter of the school is the key to the selection of talents by the imperial court. My new supervisor, Gou Guozijian, was about to discuss with you, but the time is not waiting for me. This time, I will listen to the hearing in the Political Affairs Hall, so I have to go first. You have made your immature views known to the public."

This time, Zhang Yue came here according to his will. He had to settle Wang Anshi's affairs first, so that he would have room to display himself.

Zhang Yue didn't want to offend others because of his work for Wang Anshi, so he simply pushed the matter on him: "My husband's idea, the king's selection must be in the township party, and it must be in the order of Xiang, so it is said that the school is used to lure the world. Gentlemen, everyone can have a different opinion."

"As for the way to select scholars, it must be based on the school. This is also morality at the top, while customs are formed at the bottom. This matter of changing poems and prose into scriptures is still discussed in the temple, but the Guozijian is the preface of the imperial court. You must go first, thinking that the customs are gradually fading."

After listening to Zhang Yue's words, everyone knew what a morality is. Now the decree on the reform of the imperial examination is still being discussed, but the imperial court has decided to push down through the official school Guozijian, influence the township party (scholar) through Xiangxu (school), and then through the township party The party influences customs (study and folk customs).

Yan Fu said: "How to change it? The imperial court wants to replace poetry and prose with classics, but since the Tang Dynasty, the world has used poetry and prose to win scholars for hundreds of years. Once the imperial examinations are changed, how can the world obey?"

Zhang Yuedao: "So we have to start from the school. Taixue first changed from poetry to classics, then to prefecture and county schools, and then to scholars all over the world. The atmosphere also changed. A few years later, the imperial examination changed from poetry to classics. It will be a matter of course if the Fu is changed to the classics and meanings."

"This is the meaning of Zhongshu, and we cannot change it!"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, the hall was silent.

This new method started from Taixue, but only a few years of work can change the hundreds of years of poetry and poetry that started in the Tang Dynasty.

"If the court changes back to poems and fus after a few years...does it mean that Wang Xianggong is the only one who decides in the temple?" Su Ye questioned.

That's right, the reform of the imperial examination has been going on and on.

From Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu has been changing, from emphasizing poetry and prose to emphasizing articles, and now emphasizing classics and righteousness.

Zhang Yue said: "Don't worry, everyone, this time it won't change again! At least when you and I were in Taixue, it won't change."

Zhang Yu didn't want to continue arguing with them, so he simply asked, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Jiancheng got up and said: "The report is waiting for the system, it is about the money owed by the imperial court to the Imperial College..."
