Emperor Sui Yang

"I have a Sui culture, the foundation is not stable,"

After the court meeting ended, Yang Ming left a dozen or so big bosses behind and sighed, "Reopening the school will have disadvantages, but as long as the policy is right, it will eventually be better than it was ten years ago."

Yang Xiong nodded and said: "Eat a ditch to gain wisdom, the former emperor abolished the school, it is really the schools in the states and counties that are obsessed and violated, and the inside is full of smoky atmosphere, which has no effect on the country's promotion of virtuous people, so it was abolished just now. If it can improve the atmosphere and make the school clear, yes You can try it."

"The price is too high," Yang Yue said with a frown, "According to His Highness's idea, all counties should also open schools, so the money is unprecedentedly huge, and the national treasury can't afford it right now. A school needs to allocate public housing, hire teachers, and pay for it." There are students’ food, lodging, and health, which must be guaranteed, and the most expensive thing is books, so it is not a one-off thing, if the school is also built, but there is no real improvement, it is really a bottomless pit of money.”

"You're right," Yang Ming nodded, "So you have to be cautious about reopening the school. It's best to try it out in a certain place first, and then look at the aftermath before making long-term considerations."

Yu Wenshu agreed: "The crown prince's concern is that since it is an official school, the teacher must naturally be appointed by the court, and his academic views must not run counter to the court, so before that, it is necessary to train teachers, which also takes time. "

Yang Ming nodded with a smile: "You guys just express your own opinions. The solution was discussed. The school is where the hearts of the world are. It is indispensable and cannot be left empty. If it is reopened, it will definitely look brand new compared to before. Try it first and put it in Shandong. , what do you think?"

"Inappropriate." Yang Xuangan shook his head: "It's better to go to Guanzhong. Guanzhong is where the dragon's veins are located. The state-owned policy is better to implement in Guanzhong."

Wei Xuan agreed, "I think so too."

Cui Zhongfang and Lu Chu had no objections, and Li Yuan was also silent.

In fact, from everyone's point of view, they still think that the prince is a bit whimsical. It is not so easy to reopen the school, but they just followed the prince's wishes and made some suggestions. After all, the existence of the school must be important.

Because since ancient times, when Gou Fei was in chaos, there were still schools. Now that the world is peaceful, there is no school, which is equivalent to cutting off the promotion channels for scholars. They, the group of vested interests, do not want to see such a situation happen.

Because if there is no upward channel, the world will be chaotic, and no one wants to live in a chaotic world.

The earliest education system in ancient China was established in the court, and it can be extended from the earliest education to the children of the royal family to the children of officials, that is, Taixue. Yang Jian was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In the pre-Qin period, there was a situation of private preaching and teaching, that is, a hundred schools of thought contended in the Spring and Autumn Period, and scholars gathered to give lectures.

This period was also the most brilliant and star-studded era of ancient Chinese thought and culture.

However, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he promoted the unity of administration and education, which is the so-called law as teaching and officials as teachers. If you want to learn knowledge, you can only learn what is allowed by the Qin law, and you can only worship officials who are teachers, which is tantamount to bondage. people's thinking.

In the Han Dynasty, it entered the heyday of Taixue, that is, the government-run Central University.

Because of its unique characteristics, meritorious officials, relatives, and officials send more children to school. After all, this is a way for the scholar-bureaucrat class to rise. Over time, this place is no longer a place for research and learning, but more politically colored and cronies gather. , There are many factions.

From the Wei and Jin Dynasties until the founding of the country in the Sui Dynasty, due to the troubled times, Taixue became a tool to whitewash the peace. All the students who entered the school were honored, and they were still honored after they graduated. It was basically a formality, and gilding came.

Yang Jian wanted to change this situation, so he opened government-run schools all over the world, but the students in the schools were almost all the children of officials. Even if they didn't study, they would have good prospects in the future. Do not go to school.

What Yang Ming has to do is how to let common people in.

Ordinary people almost don't have the ability to support a scholar, so they have to be free of board and lodging, so Yang Yue's worry is the most realistic.

No money.

When it came to noon, Yang Ming ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare meals, and then everyone ate and chatted in Daxing Hall.

These big bosses belong to the kind of final decision in each department, that is, hand in the file, read it once, and just get a red approval. It's not too busy.

So everyone spends time here and doesn't care.

Yang Ming looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty has a decree, asking me why I want to give Shibi's son a concubine princess. I have already replied, but there is another content in your majesty's decree, which is related to the people of the world. Do you want to hear it?"

In fact, Yang Guang wrote the letter to his son, and the purpose was sent by Menxia Province, and he did not have the slightest tone of questioning. Yang Ming's reply to his father and Menxia Province were naturally different. After all, Menxia Province's reply was It will be said in the court, and Yang Guang's inquiry is an exchange between father and son.

How to reply to Yang Guang?To provoke the relationship between the Eastern and Western Turks, Shibi's heart is at ease, because if Shibi thinks that Da Sui has no thoughts about him, he will free his hands to deal with the Western Turks, and the Western Turks must rely on Da Sui if they want to resist Shibi. Changsun Sheng's set is strong and weak.

But the premise of leaving the strong and joining the weak is that you have to provoke their relationship. If Shibi thinks that Tai Sui is the biggest threat, he will not choose to fight the Western Turks, but form an alliance with them. This is not what Tai Sui wants to see.

As for the reply to Menxia Province, it is just some empty talk, such as friendship between the two countries, peace on the border and so on.

As soon as Li Yuan heard his son's name, he was overjoyed and pretended to be stupid: "I am all ears."

Yang Ming smiled, looked around at the ministers, and found that each of them had different expressions on their faces, and only Yang Xuangan really expressed their displeasure on their faces.

"It's already August, and in half a year, Shimin will come of age. His Majesty has a decree. After Shimin comes of age, Princess Shang Jinyang will pay homage to the captain-in-law at that time. Shimin will go on a long trip. Go to Jiangdu."

The prince consort was originally a position. The chariot on which the emperor travels is the front car, and the rest are concubines. The person in charge of these vehicles is the captain consort.

Later, this position was often conferred on the person who married the princess, that is, the son-in-law of the emperor, so it was called the son-in-law for short, and he no longer had to manage the son-in-law's car, and became a title.

Princess Yang Qi of Jinyang has followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu. When her daughter gets married, her parents must be present, so Princess Shiminshang has to go to Jiangdu.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, his face was full of smiles, he jumped up, first knelt down to the east and bowed to the emperor, and then knelt down to Yang Ming.

Next, it is natural to accept everyone's congratulations.

Yu Wenshu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Uncle De won the emperor's family, which makes people jealous. Your Majesty only has Princess Jinyang who has not yet concubine. The people of the world are very lucky."

Li Yuan was in good spirits on happy occasions, and Li Yuan was already grinning from ear to ear. He drank with everyone again and again, and soon got drunk, and was carried back home.

On the way Xuangan left, he had a displeased expression on his face: "What's so good about this granny? Why is the crown prince so favored?"

Everyone knew Yang Ming had proposed that Yang Qi marry Shimin, that's why Xuangan said so.

Yang Yue smiled and said, "It's just a princess, look at your appearance in the palace? Is that the case?"

"Kissing and kissing, this old boy Li Yuan is going to be proud," Yang Xuangan said with a sneer, "Yu Guo has no achievements, he is only good at flattering, and now he is waiting for the position of the eighth seat, it is hard for people to let go."

Yang Yue reminded: "Don't sing against the prince. The prince has his own deep meaning. Li Yuan is not trustworthy. You and I can see it. Can't the prince see it? The villain only gains power for a while, don't worry about it. Tonight you Prepare a generous gift, go to Li Yuan's side, and congratulate him well."

Xuangan nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I will go."

Li Jiancheng hasn't been to the East Palace for a long time, why?Because the wife gave birth to a son.

Li Yuan was as happy as he was happy, and prepared a big thank you gift, sent it to Yuan Tiangang, and even invited him to Tang Gongfu to attend the child's full moon ceremony.

This is the eldest son and grandson, and the name is the same as in history, Li Chengzong, which means inheriting the family business of the ancestors.

Among Li Shimin's sons in history, only the eldest son Li Chengqian used the word Cheng. In fact, Li Shimin's early sons should all have the word Cheng, but it was changed after killing his brother and nephew.

Li Chengqian didn't change it because he was the eldest son, and he had to be distinguished from other brothers. Another meaning was to inherit the family business. After all, the word "inheritance" was determined by Li Yuan, and there was no word "inheritance" in his grandson, so it couldn't be justified.

But in this life, the name Li Chengqian does not want to appear, because the name Chengqian comes from Chengqian Palace of Taiji Palace, Taiji Palace is Daxing Palace, and there is no Chengqian Palace in Daxing Palace right now. Don't dare to use the palace name as a person's name.

Others must change, because Jiancheng's six sons and Yuanji's five sons were all executed, and it is inappropriate to carry the word Cheng with the dead.

Speaking of it, Li Shimin was really cruel. Eleven nephews, the oldest was only six years old, and the youngest was one or two years old, all of them were killed.

It seems that people are not ruthless and unstable, which makes sense.

Shimin is still playing with Yang Rui in Jinyang Tower, and he doesn't know that he is about to become a son-in-law. Li Jiancheng rushed to Jinyang Tower and found his younger brother:

"Where is His Royal Highness King Qin? Take me there quickly, and I will take a leave of absence for you. You are going to Jiangdu. His Majesty has granted you a marriage. You are allowed to honor Princess Jinyang."

After Li Shimin heard the news, he froze on the spot and didn't react for a long time.

More exaggerated than him is Yang Rui.

Yang Rui couldn't imagine that Shimin would marry his own aunt, what kind of seniority is this?

In fact, seniority is not chaotic at all. Although Shimin is young, he is of the same generation as Yang Ming, and he is a generation higher than Yang Rui. If we really want to talk about relatives, Yang Rui has to call Shimin his cousin.

That is to say, Yang Rui is Shimin's cousin, but this relative should not be recognized, after all, Li Shimin's nephew ended badly.
