The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2319 The Seeds Planted

Originally, the imperial court selected officials. Although there were imperial examinations to select talents, how many of them passed the imperial examinations to become officials?How many people have passed the imperial examination and stood in the Hanyuan Hall?Did most of the talents in the imperial court come from aristocratic families?Even in the former Guozijian, most of the students who studied in the Guozijian were well-known students, and there was a big family standing behind them.

But what about the academy in Dongshan County?It would be fine to enlighten those mud-legged children in Zhuangzi and let them know how to read, but the key point is, what kind of liberal arts academy and military academy will be established later, so that the highly respected officials who have retired from the imperial court will become gentlemen. The well-known and capable masters from all over the Tang Dynasty network to teach.

Thus?Wouldn't it greatly reduce the space for the son of the family to be an official?
How can people from their big families bear this?
When the Supreme Emperor was in power, they tried to dissuade them, but it was useless. At that time, with the competition between the Academy of Arts and the Imperial College, they put all their chips on the Imperial College. At that time, as long as the Imperial College won, they would operate behind the scenes. , There are thousands of ways to make the academy in Dongshan County disappear.

But who would have imagined that the bastards of the Imperial College were so unworthy that even a small liberal arts college with a bunch of mud-legged students who got together to study would not be able to win.

At that time, the momentum of the Academy of Arts was too strong, coupled with the support of some great Confucians in the court, the aristocratic family did not dare to speak out. After all, opening an academy and recruiting students is a name for educating the people of the world. Who would stop it? Whoever has bad intentions.

But even though they squeezed the family like this, the family was not happy.

Contradictions have been hidden like this.

And because of this time, the students went to the academy's gentleman for Xuan Shijing's affairs, and Cui Zhiwen saw an opportunity. He wanted to use this opportunity to target the academy in Dongshan County.

Even if the dean of the Faculty of Literary Arts is the Supreme Emperor, that won't work. Once something happens, the Supreme Emperor can't intervene, so let the matter ferment.

Once the students of the Faculty of Arts do something that offends His Majesty and makes His Majesty feel dissatisfied, the entire academy in Dongshan County will suffer accordingly.

This matter needs to be carefully planned, and Quan Shancai is called here because there is still a place where Quan Shancai needs to come forward in this matter.

Now that Quan Shancai is working in Chang'an City, once the students from Dongshan County Academy go to Chang'an City to make trouble, Quan Shancai will be able to lead troops to control the situation.

As for the timing of controlling the situation, when to come forward, there is also a way, Cui Zhiwen has to discuss it with Quan Shancai.

"If that's the case, what does brother Cui plan to do? Do you need to contact other people about this matter?" Quan Shancai asked.

"For the time being, you and I know about this matter, and there should not be too many people who know about it. In addition, as long as there is a sign of this matter, other people will definitely be able to see the way in it. At that time, they will naturally be in court. Cooperating with us, there are too many people talking in the court, so Your Majesty has to think about it, right?" Cui Zhiwen said: "However, when we intervene in this matter at the beginning, we must do everything seamlessly, otherwise, our end will be very serious. Same as Lai Junchen."

Lai Junchen's work, in the eyes of these big shots, is like a fishing net, full of flaws everywhere, if His Majesty hadn't stopped Lai Junchen at that time, they alone would have put Lai Junchen in a doomed situation.

That's why Lai Junchen was like a mad dog in court, he didn't dare to bite the Cui family, Li family and Lu family.

Because they didn't give much ground in the Qianzhuang case, and with the Zheng family and the Wang family at the front, His Majesty doesn't want to let other families have trouble for the time being.

At least someone above the court should do things for the court, right?It is unrealistic to clean up all the families involved in it at once.So Lai Junchen didn't dare to touch them.

Let's look at those officials who were involved in the Qianzhuang case back then.

Most of them were nobles, who were deprived of official titles and honors. Your Majesty is taking back the many titles granted by Emperor Gaozu when the Tang Dynasty was founded.

When they were sealed off, the imperial court had to support them, and the household department had to send out real money every year. Not only the imperial court had to support them, but even the local people had to support them. They were like blood-sucking insects. , such nobles, can the imperial court keep them?
So simply use the money bank's business, no matter the big or small crimes, as long as they are contaminated, they will all be killed, clean and tidy, and it will be settled once and for all.

In the Qianzhuang case, His Majesty was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Xuan Shijing was a knife released by His Majesty. In the end, His Majesty picked up this knife, arrested everyone, and became an executioner himself. He established his own prestige and made the officials in awe.

"Then what are we going to do?" Quan Shancai asked.

"I have sent people to Zhuangzi, Dongshan County, to keep an eye on the movement of the academy. Now the guards over there have started to martial law the academy. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, so we can only go from inside the academy. Let's do it." Cui Zhiwen said: "Brother Quan's family has children who are studying in the academy?"

Quan Shancai thought for a while: "There is one, but it's not in the College of Arts, but in the College of Military Affairs."

Quan Shancai is a military commander, and the children in the family will definitely be on the side of the military general in the future, so most of the children in the family go to the Military Academy.

more than one.

In response to Cui Zhiwen's words, Quan Shancai also said that half should be kept and half should be kept, and that he couldn't reveal all the details of his family.

"Academy of Military Affairs, is there any contact with the Academy of Arts on weekdays?" Cui Zhiwen asked.

"It's possible to go there, but I don't have much contact. I'm a student of two academies." Quan Shancai said.

"In this way, let's secretly contact the children at home to see if we can spread some news in the liberal arts academy. It is best to spread the current situation of Xuan Shijing to the ears of the students of the academy." Cui Zhiwen said.

Since they wanted to defend Xuan Shijing, the more miserable Xuan Shijing lived in the prison cell of Dali Temple, the more angry those students would be aroused?

When the time comes, the crowd will become angry and the students will become irrational. That is the result Cui Zhiwen wants.

When people act in anger, they do not use their brains.

Especially those young and inexperienced students are most likely to be swayed by the one-sided things they see.

That being the case, then he would stir up the pool of water, and let the students see what he wanted the students to see.
