When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 618: Imperial Colleges Established One After Another

"Director Zhen, please sit down."

Zhang Fei suddenly became attentive. He pulled out a chair, grabbed Zhen De, and invited Zhen De to sit on the chair.

He chuckled at Zhen De and said, "Director Zhen, what do you mean by being close to the King of Dayuezhi of Wei?"

Facing the three curious eyes, Zhen De smiled gently and explained, "Speaking of the pro-Wei Dayuezhi King, we have to mention the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After the struggle among the heroes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were formed. During the Taihe period of Cao Wei, the Dayuezhi King sent an envoy to offer tribute and made Diao the pro-Wei Dayuezhi King. This Dayuezhi King is the Bo Diao you are talking about."

"Podiao was a man of both civil and military skills, and a wise man. He looked at the disputes among the warlords in the Central Plains with a cold eye, and sought the greatest benefits in the chaos. He once regained control of Khwarezm and formed an alliance with Armenian Kusnois to fight against the Sassanid Empire. It was not until Cao Wei unified the north that he surrendered. But in his later years, Podiao was rather stupid and cruel, so not long after his death, the Great Yuezhi gradually went to extinction. It can be said that Podiao was both the leader of the Great Yuezhi's rise and one of the eternal sinners of the Great Yuezhi."

"This man is indeed a capable person." Guan Yu stroked his beard and expressed his opinion.

"Okay. That's all I know." Zhen De clapped his hands, stood up and prepared to leave.

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and called out to Zhen De, "Director Zhen, wait!"

Zhen De glanced at Zhang Fei. He knew what Zhang Fei wanted to ask without Zhang Fei even asking. He shook his head at Zhang Fei and said, "There are no new starring actors this week. You don't have to wait."

"As for Miss Mi, what we did last week was obviously effective. Miss Mi is currently staying well in the fairyland."

"It's a pity that I can't delay it any longer this week and have to upload it."

After saying this, Zhen De walked away, and Zhang Fei did not call him back.

Liu Bei was deeply sorry that Mi Xiaomei could no longer come to the theater, but Zhen De had done his best. Even Zhuge Liang was helpless, so what could he do?

After expressing his feelings, Liu Bei could not neglect state affairs. He turned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Second brother, third brother, inform the officials that we have important matters to discuss."

"Okay!" Zhang Fei immediately took out his phone and @ everyone in the Yingmeng Xianchen group, 'Brother has something important to discuss with you, come to our yard quickly!'

The wise ministers of the Ji Han Dynasty arrived at the courtyard one after another, and soon everyone gathered together.

Zhang Fei cleared his throat and told what had happened in Kushan and what Zhen De had just said.

When Zhang Fei talked about the great victory achieved by the Han Dynasty in India, all the wise ministers were delighted and smiled.

Among them, Jian Yong laughed the loudest. As he laughed, he actually uttered the name "Zhang Sanlang" to Zhang Fei.

As he still had to recount the whole story to his ministers, Zhang Fei did not retort but glared at Jian Yong.

When Zhang Fei mentioned Bodiao, everyone became a little nervous, but Jian Yong was the only one who didn't care, "A mere Bodiao, no matter how capable it is, can't save the declining national strength of Kushan."

Jian Yong's words made all the wise ministers nod their heads. They couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang. Even Prime Minister Zhuge was one step behind.

Zhuge Liang, who was cautious, made a suggestion: "I think it is better to be cautious. Accept the Kushan's request for peace and truce, get rid of the occupied land and the materials that the Kushan gave to the Han Dynasty every year, and it would be best to let Bo Diao come to the Han Dynasty to study."

Study.

When Zhuge Liang said the word "study", everyone instantly understood what he meant.

It is said to be studying, but in reality it is equivalent to being a hostage in the Han Dynasty.

When the current Kushan king dies, the Han Dynasty will be able to help Po Tiao fight for the throne with the crown prince.

Liu Bei made the decision on the spot, "Okay! Let's follow the Prime Minister's words!" Then Liu Bei asked Chen Zhen, who was nearby, to act as an angel and negotiate the specific matters with the Kushans.

As soon as he returned to Han, Liu Bei told Liu Xie the news of the Han army's great victory.

Liu Xie did not doubt it and immediately believed what Liu Bei said.

The news of the great victory made Liu Xie very happy. He clapped his hands and cheered, and said that he would reward Guan, Zhang, two horses and one Cao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Liu Bei immediately stopped Liu Xie, "The news of the great victory has not yet been reported back, it is really inappropriate to reward the generals now!"

"Well, what the emperor said makes sense." Liu Xie then gave up his previous thought.

Liu Bei mentioned that he wanted to make Liangzhou Governor Chen Zhen an angel. Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Uncle, what's your big deal? For this kind of thing, why don't you just ask the Minister of the Central Secretariat to draft an imperial edict?"

Seeing Liu Bei shaking his head repeatedly, Liu Xie called the palace official and said, "Pass my order and let Prime Minister Jia draft an edict. If the Kushans ask for peace and truce, let Liangzhou Governor Chen Zhen be the angel to discuss the specific matters."

"promise."

"Look, it's that simple, you can try it if you want."

Seeing Liu Bei's face darken, Liu Xie immediately changed his words, "Uncle, Ah Dou is also one year old. I decided to take advantage of this great victory to hold a ceremony to firmly secure Ah Dou's position as the crown prince. It just so happens that I haven't seen Master Lu for a long time. Master Lu should come this time, right? I wonder how Master Lu is doing now?"

Liu Bei didn't want to talk about the crown prince, but when it came to Lu Zhi, he had to reply: "Master Lu is already sixty years old. He has been approved to establish Youzhou Imperial College in Zhuo County. While recuperating, he can also answer questions for students. As for whether Master Lu can come, Master Lu has an old injury and is not suitable for walking. Perhaps it is Master Lu's son who came to give a gift?"

"Son of Master Lu? Lu Yu? Lu Yu is taking the entrance exam for the Imperial College this year, right?"

"good."

"Uncle, why does Master Lu's son need to take any exams? I will directly let him enter the Chang'an Imperial College! Then he will serve as an official for me. After that, if he has talent, he will be sent to the local area to govern for a few years, and then he will be transferred back to the court to serve!"

Due to the implementation of the imperial examination system in recent years, the Imperial College also underwent changes and no longer served as the official school for the entire country.

Instead, it simply became the highest educational institution in the Han Dynasty, aiming to help students further their studies.

In addition to Chang'an, some prefectures and counties also established imperial colleges. In order to avoid misunderstanding, the newly built imperial colleges would often be preceded by the name of the prefecture where they were located.

There are currently four imperial academies in the Han Dynasty, namely Chang'an Imperial Academy in Chang'an, Yuzhou Imperial Academy in Qiao County, Youzhou Imperial Academy in Zhuo County, and Jingzhou Imperial Academy in Xiangyang.

The court provided half of the funding for these newly built imperial universities, while the local government provided the other half.

It was uniformly managed by the newly built Imperial College in the imperial court.

If one wants to enter these imperial academies, one must take part in the unified examinations set by the Imperial Academy and be admitted according to one's ranking.

If a person has made great contributions and his descendants, they do not need to take the examination. For those who have made great contributions, the Imperial College has additional admission quotas every year.

As the emperor's teacher, Lu Zhi would definitely satisfy those who had made contributions, and Lu Yu would not need to take any examinations.

But when he thought of his teacher Lu Zhi's temperament, Liu Bei shook his head, "Master Lu has always been upright, I'm afraid he won't let his son enter the school directly."

"Since Master Lu is unwilling, I will not force him." Liu Xie said angrily.
