Chapter 311 The Big Man's Internal Troubles (Two in One)

Jianning 14 years, summer

Nine years have passed since the official school system was implemented in the fifth year of Jianning. During this period, five groups of young children have come out of the official school, totaling more than 40 people. The number of literate people in the country has increased significantly. There are still many important ministers who are very opposed to this system. They believe that if the people are literate, it is not conducive to management or governance.

They are likely to cause very serious consequences. They are also waiting for these government students to have an accident. In this way, even if they catch Wang Fu's handle, they can easily punish Wang Fu in the future. This is a disaster for the great man. However, it has been so long, and there have been many riots in various places, but there are no riots by these students.

They finished their studies by reading "Six Enlightenment Chapters" edited by He Gong. These students respected the emperor more than others. They were familiar with Han law and had the courage of a ram. The censor, because he often supervises officials, has also killed some corrupt officials. It is unheard of for people who dare to kill officials with swords.

Because it was He Xiu who compiled this book, his reputation among the people reached a new height. The people began to compare him with Confucius, Mencius, Dong and other sages. In Taixue and Menzixue, such titles are also very common. Although some celebrities do not agree with such views in their hearts, they dare not express their views in public.

However, things did not go smoothly after all. After these children grew up, some of them no longer bothered to continue farming. They also looked down on the farmers around them. They enthusiastically pursued studies and hoped to pass the science examination. Wang Fu didn't seem to expect such a situation to happen for his own ambitions, and their parents and relatives also supported their actions.

I hope they can stand out and become the pillars of the family, so suddenly there are nearly a hundred thousand people who don't care about agriculture and mulberry, study and write all day long, and only want to pass the examination. Wang Fu is very happy about this matter. Worried, he was afraid that he would spend a lot of people's power and make it a career for his life, shaking the agricultural foundation of the great man. In order to solve this matter, Wang Fu asked for a court meeting.

Of course, before that, Wang Fu had already given the Son of Heaven a performance, explaining the harm of this matter.

The emperor is very concerned about this.

When the court meeting was held, Wang Fu looked worried. All the officials had never seen him like this before. Seeing him like this, he was secretly proud of himself, and vaguely knew that Wang Fu must have committed some mistakes. See It seems that this fault is not small, otherwise, how could Wang Jiexin, who has always been arrogant, become like this, heh, you Wang Jiexin also has today, God has eyes!

Baiguan guessed in his heart that Wen Renxi's health gradually improved and he began to go to court.

Seeing Wang Fu's appearance, not only was he not happy, but he was a little worried. Could it be that there was some mistake in the foreign trade matter? If so, wouldn't it be a waste of so much national financial resources?He thought in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

The emperor came, and all the officials came to see him.

Wang Fu also got up directly, and said: "Nowadays, there are as many as 40 students who have graduated from government schools. A small number of these students have already studied in Menzi School and Tai Xue, and some have become officials. However, most of them work all day long. Don’t do anything with Nongsang, rely on the family, parents to support, hope to be an official through the assessment, if you do this for a long time, I’m afraid it will shake the foundation of the country!”

Yuan Feng frowned, thinking, but this matter is not easy to handle, and Wen Renxi breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then quickly thought about it, most of the officials were gloating, They finally caught Wang Fu's handle. Shaking the foundation of the country is not a small crime. They looked up at Yuan Feng and Wen Renxi beamingly, hoping that they could open their mouths to punish Wang Fu.

However, unlike what they had expected, the two of them had no intention of speaking at all.

The emperor frowned. Agriculture is the foundation of the great man. Although there are only a few hundred thousand people like this now, it seems that there is no fundamental impact on the great man. But think about it, there will be millions of students, or even tens of millions of students in the future. Ah, if all these people are like this, wouldn't the big man die?Without food, without food, the big man will collapse in a moment.

It's no wonder Wang Fu is so worried. When it comes to the national capital, this matter has become a big problem. Wang Fu obviously never thought that such a problem would arise. The students changed their minds, which was different from what Wang Fu thought in his heart. He wanted to increase the wisdom of the people in order to be able to manage the people better, for the sake of the big man!
Both Yuan Feng and Wen Renxi saw the importance of the matter. They raised their heads and looked at the Son of Heaven. Suddenly, an important minister got up, looked at the emperor, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, I have a song!"

The emperor was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What is your plan?"

"Please cook Wang Jiexin. Once Wang Jiexin dies, the official education and assessment will be banned, and everything will be safe."

"Come here!!" Before he could finish speaking, the Son of Heaven yelled angrily, and a few guards rushed in from the side. !", several guards were taken aback, raised their heads, looked at Wang Fu, then went directly to this person, pulled them and walked out, this person refused to bow his head, and kept cursing Wang Fu angrily.

"Your Majesty!" Cai Yong got up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, cooking with strangers is definitely not done by Ming Jun, only Xia Jie and Shang Zhou did this!" Cai Yong raised his head and stared closely at the eyes of the emperor , the emperor who was already angry was even more angry, pointing at Cai Yong and roaring: "Are you scolding me? Do you think I am Xia Jie and Shang Zhou??"

"You still want to welcome King Wu to the capital, don't you? Come and arrest him!"

Su Wei immediately stepped forward and stood behind Cai Yong. Wen Renxi and Yuan Feng stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, arrest us too. If Your Majesty wants to execute Cai Gong because of today's anger, we Willing to die with Duke Cai."

All the officials stood up one after another, stood behind the two of them, and said, "I wish to die with you."

Only Wang Fu sat calmly on his seat and looked at the officials.

The Son of Heaven looked at the officials coldly, stared for a long time, then looked at Cai Yong, and then said: "Mr. Cai, you are more virtuous than Qian, but how can I be so cruel as Shang Zhou?"

Cai Yong bowed himself and said: "The minister made a mistake, I hope His Majesty will forgive me, but I hope His Majesty will not give the order to cook people."

The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Remove him as an official, and drive him out. You will get up and continue to discuss, if this matter cannot be resolved today." The emperor looked at them coldly, and everyone Shane got up just now.

The emperor gradually calmed down, but this matter has not been resolved, and they still need a headache. After the emperor's intimidation just now, these important officials dare not take the opportunity to spray the king talisman. After all, the matter is important, and the emperor is here Worried and anxious about this matter, at this time, he stood up and attacked Wang Fu, and gloated at his misfortune, isn't this asking for trouble?

Yuan Feng frowned, and thought about it: "Your Majesty, if it is possible to ban official schools?"

"No!" The emperor shook his head and said.

Since the implementation of official education, the people have changed a lot, especially during his northern tour, what he saw made the emperor happy. The people of the world are literate, and many government orders no longer need to be delivered by rural tyrants. In the middle of the period, the influence of powerful forces in the countryside was effectively curbed. In addition, the people were smart, and no matter what occupation they were engaged in, the effect was stronger than before.

No one can imagine how excited the emperor was when he saw some farmers in the big man holding agricultural books, reading and plowing.

The big man is in the countryside, and his executive power has been declining. The aristocratic family and the powerful have become the thorn in the heart of the big man. The reading of the common people is a heavy blow. The common people here have a lot of respect and love for the Son of Heaven. They all firmly believe that the great man is destined by heaven, and He Gong's thoughts are shining on them.

"Then make restrictions so that the children of farming people cannot participate in the assessment," someone suggested.

Of course, this was immediately rejected by the emperor. If he treated it like this, not only would his original idea come to naught, but it would also prevent more people from farming and sang, and even cause civil uprisings. Treating them differently is not the emperor's usual style. , Even the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qiang people in the Han territory love it. How could they not love the most important farmers in the Han Dynasty?
"Then raise the money needed for the assessment, so that students from poor families will not be able to participate in the assessment," a senior minister surnamed Wenren suggested.

This point is no different from the previous proposal. It is impossible for the emperor to do such a disguised act of supporting the aristocratic family.

The officials discussed for a long time, but there was no good policy. The emperor looked at Wang Fu. As the maker of these policies, it was difficult for Wang Fu to change his own policies. You must know that these policies were made by him. All he had done was to change his own policies, that is, to change his views and thoughts. For the first time, Wang Fu fell silent at the court meeting.

Seeing the prince so silent, the emperor felt even more anxious.

"Your Majesty." Suddenly someone stood up slowly.

The emperor saw it, but it was Xun You, the crown prince.

Xun You thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, why not set the number of assessments. From now on, each candidate can only participate in the assessment once, and after that, no more. In addition, after reaching the age of thirteen, no more than six years." Participate in the assessment, otherwise the qualification will be disqualified, so that after the students participate in the assessment once, if they fail, they can only go home to work in farming."

"In addition, for the students who fail the examination, there should be preferential agricultural taxes, reduce their taxes, and guide them to farm."

Xun You said his thoughts little by little, and all the officials listened quietly, even Wang Fu was a little surprised, he had never thought of this method, if he did it like this, although it would be a bit unfair, if there are times when talents come out in large numbers, everyone will come together Participating in the assessment may cause many virtuous ministers to be left behind among the people, but this method can solve the current predicament.

The emperor's eyes were also a little hot, and he listened carefully to Xun You's thoughts.

He laughed loudly, and his mood became a little more cheerful. He looked at the officials and asked, "Mr. Xun has made this plan, what do you think?"

All the officials nodded and said, "Good!"

He looked at Wang Fu again, Wang Fu thought about it for a moment, and said: "It's okay", he turned to look at Xun You again, and said with some emotion: "Gong Xun is a great talent, comparable to me!"

Although Xun You always felt that something was wrong, this was the first time Wang Fu praised a colleague, which already made him extremely happy. He bowed to Wang Fu, and the emperor clapped his hands and shouted: "Just do it like this. Order Shang Shutai to order, Yuan Jun, you talk to Gongda more, and then give the order!"

"As ordered!"

The emperor also praised Xun You, with a series of incomprehensible words, such as "I will stay with you", and "Three Dukes can expect", which caused all the officials to chuckle, and the inside and outside of the hall were full of joy.

Xun You was a little proud, turned his head and looked at Jia Xu who was on the side. For some reason, he had always regarded Jia Xu as his competitor, but there was no surprise on Jia Xu's face, and he lowered his head calmly. Head, silent, Xun You thought in his heart, could it be that he had a better suggestion, but didn't speak? ? ?
The court meeting ended, and the final solution was to adopt Xun You's policy. When the news spread that all students could only participate in one assessment, there was a sudden turmoil among Taixue and Menzixue, and many The students who failed the rankings last time started gathering angrily to attack the thief Xun You, which made Xun You afraid to go to the streets anymore and stayed in his study all day.

The rural students were not too excited when they heard about it. No one felt that if they were inferior to others, they would fail the assessment. There was always a chance to be assessed, and it was no big deal.

Standing in the courtyard, Xun You sighed softly. Since his suggestion was adopted, he has been afraid to go out on the street. The Tai students and disciples hated him to death, especially those students who failed the rankings last time. He regarded him as an enemy, cursed all day long, and tried to find himself many times. Fortunately, his courtyard is relatively remote, and not many people know it, so it is safe to come here.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Xun You was startled. However, he was still young after all, and he was not overly afraid. He calmly walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Gongda, open the door, I am your uncle!"

Xun You hurriedly straightened his clothes, opened the door slowly, and bowed, "See you uncle."

Xun Yu stood in front of him with a smile on his face. When he saw him saluting, he squinted his eyes and nodded, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xun You and shouted, "This is the guy who makes us regret for the rest of our lives, beat him to death!!!" Suddenly, four or five students appeared behind him. They were not very old, but they all came from aristocratic families, and they rushed towards Xun You.

Although these people are not very old, most of them are his elders. There are marriages between several aristocratic families, they are all acquainted with each other, and they are related. After rushing over, Xun You hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, everyone, listen to me!"

"Xun Gongda, I am your uncle, how dare you ruin my future?!" the little guy Xun Yu yelled, jumped up and rushed towards Xun You.
