Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 287 Ridiculous Remarks

The important thing to talk about was naturally when Shen Sanwen entered the palace, there were only a few people left in the palace, to be precise, there was only one person who did not avoid it, Wu Zetian's absolute confidant and usual subordinate - Shangguan Wan'er.

However, Shangguan Wan'er's comprehension is much lower than the current situation when it comes to knowing the ancients. After all, what happened many years ago can only be speculated through history books and major historical events. The busy Shangguan Wan'er devoted most of her energy to In terms of poetry and internal affairs, it is naturally impossible to scrutinize carefully like Wu Zetian, who has been on the bench for many years.

She has not studied the summaries of history by many historians.

Shangguan Wan'er, as a disciple brought out by Wu Zetian, asked without hesitation at this time, "Why does the son-in-law only mention the post-Western Han Dynasty, and the origins of Han Gaozu and the First Emperor are not considered noble."

Wu Zetian smiled and took the tea soup Shangguan Wan'er handed over, "This is what he can see clearly. Qin and Han were not a time when a group of warriors could make decisions, and the aristocratic family only had an absolute mainstream. Whoever can control the power will be The most dignified other than the royal family. The game between imperial power and prime minister power was the mainstream at that time."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded thoughtfully, "Does the son-in-law really not understand the operation?"

Wu Zetian replied: "It's not easy to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. What he wants to use is the wealth of the aristocratic family. According to your opinion, what should be done."

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to accumulate the accumulation of these wealthy families for several generations. Even if we use the means of ransacking the family and destroying the family, we may not be able to get all of them."

Wu Zetian nodded, "That's right, and the value of the family is not just the wealth, Shen Sanwen wants to use this. What he wants to do is to let the wealth of the family flow, he helps the family to manage, and opens up for him obstacles, the aristocratic family gains wealth, he achieves his goal and achieves a win-win situation.”

Shangguan Wan'er froze for a moment, "I'm afraid those old men may not be able to accept such a win-win situation."

Wealth without the protection of rights is just a tree without roots. On the contrary, it is easy to be coveted. It is equivalent to a hot potato. The power is gone.

Wu Zetian sneered, "They can only accept that the power in the court can no longer be used by them. People don't fight with officials, they can only accept their fate, so Shen Sanwen can have this confidence. This is not a fight between officials, it's just Simply using power to overwhelm people.”

Shangguan Wan'er: "But these old men are not vegetarians. They still have some influence in the court. I'm afraid they won't give in easily."

Wu Zetian: "So the outcome is still unknown."

Shangguan Wan'er: "Please forgive Wan'er for being dull, how can this show that the son-in-law doesn't know how to fight between officials."

Wu Zetian: "You! After being an official for a long time, I only think of the most direct way, which is to raid the family. But in this way, the foundation of the family will be broken, and the time it takes to reorganize resources is immeasurable. It may not be possible to choose another person. There are aristocratic families who do well, but waste time.

He made the aristocratic family stable, and with this favor, if the aristocratic family cannot stop the education of the whole people, they will grab him as a life-saving straw.

This is the thinking of a businessman. Because there is no absolute power, he can accept different choices from others and only cooperate with those who can reciprocate his kindness.

If this group of people reneges on their promises, then they are worthless. At that time, if you use power to deal with it, no matter how you deal with it, you can stand on the moral high ground. "

Shangguan Wan'er asked again, "But this is just an agreement between them, there is no one else to judge, is it so important to be moral. Moreover, his status and power don't need such a lot of trouble."

Wu Zetian took a sip of tea, he was still too young to know people, "If you let Di Renjie accept bribes and disregard human lives, what do you think he will do?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "Other people Wan'er dare not say it, but Wan'er believes that Master Di will never do this."

Wu Zetian: "So, you have to let him know that he was just taking ill-gotten gains under orders, and he only killed the people who deserved to be killed.

The same is true for Shen Sanwen, no matter whether he has power or not, if a person does not endanger him or do anything against him, he will not kill him.Even if this person may endanger him, if he wants to do something, he will definitely give others a chance to feel sorry for himself and give himself a reason.

This is what he asked for with a clear conscience.

These will not be mentioned.

Education for all is a transformation of the whole society, which will disrupt the solidification of social classes. From now on, studying and becoming an official is no longer a privilege of the wealthy, aristocratic families, and meritorious nobles. Everyone in the world has the opportunity to participate. How many people will oppose it?
No one wants to see the person who was begging for him yesterday, and become the existence he has to look up to in the future. How difficult this challenge is.

The aristocratic family should stand on the opposite side of the whole people and become the first enemy. If they deal with it properly, they will be the first stepping stone on the road to education for all.

If this force can be defeated, it will not only deter Xiao Xiao, but also give hope to the people of the world.Their defection will let the world see my determination even more.

There is no need for you to worry about the aristocratic family, and you should pay close attention to those scholars. "

Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't say anything more, Shangguan Wan'er silently wrote down what she said, and replied respectfully, "Yes."

However, in her opinion, it is impossible for scholars who are dedicated to imperial examinations to have any special ideas.

Then what did His Majesty tell her to stare at?

Maybe she won't understand until the moment she appears.

Not long after, Shen Sanwen came out of the palace gate. The melon-eaters didn't see him being punished, so they were somewhat disappointed. Why did His Majesty arrest someone so aggressively and let him go so quickly? How can I eat melons with peace of mind.

I have nothing to eat today, go home early.When His Majesty asks tomorrow, just support education for all with both hands.

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a long time, but she finally gained something.His Majesty's arrangement is very ingenious, Shen San asked the master, with His Majesty's support behind him, others would not dare to act rashly.This does not represent Princess Taiping's intentions. Even if the resistance is too great to implement in the end, no one dares to go too far with the identity of the prince's son-in-law and the feelings of the prince.Shen Sanwen's safety was preserved, the status of the princess was preserved, and His Majesty's final decision-making power was firmly held in his hands.

The boss's decision is terrifying.

That.

Everyone knows how difficult this matter is, and now His Majesty wants to be the unprecedented No. [-] king, will it be smooth?Ever since she was sensible, she has never seen His Majesty fail, and her deployment and decisions are always flawless. Will this time be no exception?
Luoyang's Poetry Fair now has a small gathering every seven days, and a large gathering on the fifteenth. Shangguan Wan'er, who hasn't seen a masterpiece for a long time, is a little tired, unlike the original enthusiasm for socializing, she has entered every meeting a few years ago. As of now, March [-] entry.

Without the participation of this talented woman, many talented scholars who hoped to take this route to gain His Majesty's favor also slacked off. Today's poetry meeting was a bit deserted. Prosper again.

It is not easy for a poem to truly amaze and spread widely.But if there are talented women's comments and favors, it's easy to be sought after by caring people.

Shangguan Wan'er was smiling, and her posture was like a weak willow Fufeng, she was really talented and beautiful.

Before the people arrived, the poetry meeting was already full of voices, and all kinds of poems praising women were endless.

The commonplace Shangguan Wan'er maintained a basic smile and did not speak. If the youngest daughter was at home, she would be happy if she could be praised by a group of talented scholars.

But now, only disdain remains.Aside from the blessing of power behind it, the so-called gifted scholar, Simeiren's wish is nothing more than a spring breeze.She is powerful and talented, how could she see these people in her eyes.

However, it is her duty to lead the contemporary style of writing and understand the thoughts of these scholars.

What will they say, what will His Majesty care about?

When everyone gathered at the poetry meeting, the organizer of the poetry meeting came out and waved his hand.

"Today's talented woman Shangguan Wan'er invites everyone to play freely, without setting a topic, you can discuss current affairs, all talents please."

As soon as the poetry meeting started, no one made any noise, and they all waited for those who had some ink in their stomachs to go first.

If you don't be this early bird, you can understand the true level of today's poetry society, and you won't make a fool of yourself. If you can make a little progress than the original people, you can leave a good impression on everyone, which is great.

After a while of silence, someone finally spoke, and a young man in ordinary clothes was the first to speak.

"Xiaosheng's poems are average, and I want to ask everyone about current affairs, about the education of the whole people in Dazhou, do you have any ideas."

This person is really sharp, most scholars criticize the current situation and evils are just empty talk, but this person hit the gun point, talking about such unresolved matters of the court, Shangguan Wan'er was somewhat curious, what he wanted to say.

Shangguan Wan'er made a gesture with her eyes, and immediately someone came over to introduce the identity of this person to her.

This is an authentic second-generation official, his father just stepped into the officialdom after he was born in the imperial examination, very authentic second-generation.

If he has a plan, he must go to offer advice first, and those people in the court will know if they are famous, not to mention that his father is a court official, so he can write a letter and send it to the place where Da Zhou specially recruits talents. So, is he going to object?

Shangguan Wan'er was a little puzzled. There are several handsome young masters who have not spoken yet. Maybe he was instructed by others?
After the man finishes speaking, the poem will become more silent.

"No one answered, Xiaosheng just throws a brick to attract jade with his humble opinion, please correct me.

Xiaosheng thinks that education for all is nonsense, extremely absurd.

It is reported that for this move, the state will organize teachers and provide equipment. All children who reach the age of four to five on their first anniversary must obey the compulsory reading for five years.

We are all scholars. We should know how priceless a good teacher is, how expensive books are, and what other tools are. We should also know whether farmers can afford it. The savings of a family of five in three lifetimes are barely enough. The cost of a scholar for three years.

Therefore, the expenditure of this initiative cannot be paid by the people, but can only be borne by the state.

Dazhou is now in a state of prosperity, with talented people coming forth in large numbers, sound policies, sound military strategy, cultural revival, and people living and working in peace and contentment with ample food and clothing.However, based on the tax system and the weakness of the first emperor's disaster relief, I dare to assert that the money in the treasury can never afford the cost of a year's education for the children of the world.

The 23 years of Zhenguan’s accumulation cannot withstand the battles with the surrounding areas. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the wars with Tubo and Turks have definitely cost a lot. People who have nothing to do with reading in this life.

The sons of workers, peasants and businessmen only study for the imperial examinations, but the difficulty of the imperial examinations is obvious to all. I am a poor student who studied hard. It is not that I have worked hard for ten years. I was taught by a private school teacher and taught many times by world-renowned scholars. In the end, I am only a small success. Dare to say that you can become famous in one fell swoop?
If the universal education is allowed to be implemented, ten-year-old children trained in five years will understand what principles and make contributions to society, but it will cost a lot of money to train them.

If this strategy is followed, the country will not be a country.

This is my humble opinion. "

After taking his seat, although he was not like the indifferent style of the son of the aristocratic family, he was extremely resolute, but he revealed his worries about his family and country, which was well-founded and attracted everyone's attention.

Shangguan Wan'er opened her ears and listened carefully to the discussion. Everyone agreed, but no one raised the benefits and feasibility of this proposal. These scholars couldn't understand the painstaking efforts of the court at all.

Afterwards, a few people got up to speak, they were all clichés, thinking that this was too whimsical, His Majesty was just deceived, and there must be a group of ministers behind to strongly advise the world, and so on.

Shangguan Wan'er was disappointed when she heard it, there was no voice of opposition in the court, even if they had such a heartfelt voice, who would have heard it, His Majesty specially asked him to come and listen to these people's nagging?

Just when this group of people felt the strongest sympathy for each other, Shangguan Wan'er got up directly, and a needle could be heard in the poetry meeting, "Do you have any supporters, I would like to hear more about it."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, support?What a joke.

The imperial court lacks such a large amount of money, what should they do if they are in turmoil, they are all for the stability of the country and the majesty of the imperial court.

But after all someone stood up, Shangguan Wan'er's attitude represented the emperor's attitude, who in this world could stop what the emperor wanted to do, if he could do it, he could naturally do it.

After racking his brains and pondering over and over again, someone stood up, "Xiaosheng thought that the imperial court has the heart of cultivating talents, and its original intention is to benefit the people, but it is too difficult to implement it all over the country at once, or it is possible to select children of the right age in each village and town, and then the winner You can participate in Chinese studies and enjoy the national education for all, what does Miss Shangguan think?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled incredulously, and didn't answer, she was extremely childish!
If education for all is just merit-based education, can it still be called universal education?Under the banner of education for all, it actually only educates the part, isn't it afraid that the whole world will laugh at it? The Zhou court can't afford to lose this person.

Moreover, it is not easy to choose the winners. Five-year-olds are just under the influence of adults.It is not easy to supervise the local selection of the imperial court. This policy will eventually be reduced to the use of local dignitaries, and the quota will never reach the hands of civilian children.Why did the imperial court set up a special institution and spend money and food to serve this group of people who do not lack private schools.

Ridiculous reader.
