Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 408 Ma Zhou's Letter
With Ma Zhou's help, this plan was agreed upon very quickly. Even if the gang of family members can't be tricked, it can actually do a good thing for the people of Tang Dynasty, so Ma Zhou also readily agreed to help .

As a true child of the Han family, this matter was indeed a big dream of his.

In the specific implementation process, Lin Sen basically had nothing to do, so after discussing with Ma Zhou, he continued to return to Lin's village to live his wife and children's happy life.

Li Chengqian, who was able to occasionally visit the Lin family village before, and even brought the newly married princess with him, could not come again during this period of time.

It wasn't that he had any bad thoughts about Lin Sen, but because the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had passed away, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had to rush to be their filial sons and grandsons.

Although the things Li Shimin himself did didn't seem to fit the name, and the actions of his sons also showed that this statement was more like an irony, after all, Datang was also known as "filial piety" to build the country.

In the case of the death of the Supreme Emperor, one of them, the emperor and the prince, naturally had to rely on it.

Datang should also stop all entertainment activities, but Li Shimin is extra merciful, except for the one-day strike in Chang'an, the rest will remain as usual.

But in this way, it would be unrealistic for Li Chengqian to come to the Lin family village, there are too many things that require him to be busy.

Especially during the period of Li Shimin's filial piety, he, the prince, still had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, and he had to help handle all the big and small state affairs.

How he performed during this period is directly related to whether he can sit securely as the prince, and it is also when he gets impression points from many ministers, so he cannot be careless.

For his safety, Xi Junmai has been busy with his work, and has no time to go back to Lin's Zhuangzi recently.

Considering that the crown prince and himself are now almost in a relationship where one prospers and one loses, Lin Sen is naturally very concerned about his safety.

I was also worried that Xi Junmai just went to the East Palace for a short time, so he might not be able to grasp the situation, so he simply asked him to pick some capable people from the Lin family to bring them with him. It can help him manage his subordinates better.

In addition, of course, there is also a deliberate expression in it. The more Li Chengqian needs support, the more naturally he has to express his attitude.

When Li Chengqian got used to the matter of supervising the country, the main thing was to grasp his own position and deal with things properly. He had to give people a capable image, but he couldn't leave Li Shimin with this Get ready to grab the impression of power.

After solving the problem of this degree, in fact, it is not that difficult to actually deal with things.

After all, he also followed Li Shimin's side to listen to the government since he was a child. Under his influence, his ability to handle political affairs is indeed not bad.

Moreover, when Li Shimin went out of the palace to escape the summer heat, he also had the experience of supervising the country several times, which was praised by Li Shimin and other ministers.

It's hard to say whether he can be a qualified emperor, but it's really not a big problem to be the prince of the prison.

Including which ministers have a certain idea behind a certain proposition, and which people's interests they represent, this obviously cannot be hidden from him.

It was against this background that Ma Zhou made a memorial, which successfully attracted Li Chengqian's attention.

This Ma Zhou was told by Li Shimin that in the future he would be reserved as a prime minister for the crown prince, so of course Li Chengqian should be more cautious about his proposal.

Since Ma Zhou's proposal involved far-reaching implications, Li Chengqian made a special trip to bring this matter to the court meeting for everyone to discuss it.

Ma Zhou wrote the letter in the hope that all major state capitals in the Tang Dynasty will open a government-run school to carry out a popular education, so as to cultivate more available talents for the Tang Dynasty.

He also used his own difficulties in studying as an example, and he also used some historical celebrities as examples.

Of course, I also said secretly that the monopoly of knowledge by the family members may lead to a situation where most of the civil servants come from the family in the future.

Although the words are very euphemistic, the meaning is almost the same.

Originally, Li Shimin's position for him, as well as his own position, was to be a representative of the poor family, and he was also considered a natural enemy with the family members.

Curbing the influence of the family and letting more students from poor families appear in the court was originally the direction of his efforts, so the ministers did not find it strange at all to propose such a proposal and point the finger at the family.

It's just that the matter of building a school does involve the interests of too many people, and it must have a big impact on the current situation where ethnology is the mainstay.

Of course, it is too early to say that this threatens the elites of the major families that those clans have learned.

There is bound to be a big gap between a child from an aristocratic family trained under elite education and a child from a poor family trained under universal education, no matter in terms of knowledge or insight.

It's not that a real scholar will know the world's affairs without going out. If he wants to be well-informed and study abroad, after all, he still needs a deep family background to support him.

In this case, the resistance is not so great that it is unstoppable, and many emerging dignitaries have expressed their support for this kind of thing. In the long run, it is indeed beneficial to Datang.

On the military side, most of them chose to remain silent, and some expressed their support, while those who chose to oppose it were very rare.

The main objection still came from the civil servants, especially the officials of the aristocratic family, who naturally opposed it most fiercely.

This directly touched their cake, and it is also the biggest threat to them. It can be said that their reaction is not unexpected.

But the reasons they gave are quite tenable.

Although the whole Tang Dynasty has been recuperating for these years, especially after entering the Zhenguan Dynasty, it can be regarded as politically sound and harmonious, and the overall national strength has risen very obviously.

However, the use of troops against Tuyuhun has just been completed, and the current treasury is not as full as it seems. It cannot be said to be empty. Anyway, it will be very difficult to squeeze out the money to build colleges in various places, or it can be said that it is not enough. realistic.

This is not just two academies in one place. It would cost a lot to spread this stall all at once.

But if only a few colleges are built, it must be conceptually speaking, and the meaning of the matter itself will be lost.

Then it has become an elite education that can only be enjoyed by a few people. Why waste this time and energy.

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs testified to this matter, and it seems that it is indeed impossible to implement it.

But now Li Chengqian not only did not give up on this idea, but even more agree with it.

Who made this plan really be able to add trouble to the family and earn a good reputation for himself. Sometimes what the enemy opposes is what he should support.

Not to mention that Li Chengqian also continued his father's ruling philosophy of trying to curb the power of the family members, and more importantly, the family members of the family have never stood by Li Chengqian's side.

I don't know if it's because they have always looked down on his old man Li Shimin, so they hate Wu Jiwu and disdain him; or if they just want to disturb the political situation of Datang, so they deliberately tease his younger brothers, such as Li Tai, the little fat man who is said to be boasted as if his literary talent is unparalleled in the world, but in fact has a worrying emotional intelligence.

　Tomorrow is Ching Ming Festival, my eldest son and grandson will definitely go home to worship ancestors, and there are a series of other things, so tomorrow's update may not be so timely, please forgive me.
