Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 306 1 Wind Direction
(updated)
Waiting for the transfer order to be issued and the Tubo army to be properly deployed, Shen Sanwen returned to Luoyang.

During the time when Shen Sanwen left, some changes took place in the court.

The matter of planting trees is due to the persistence of many virtuous ministers, but the direction of education reform has changed again.

It is difficult for these people who have worked so hard to get ahead in their studies to look up to the children who are really poor and who grew up in such an environment.

Even if it is a wealthy family, it is not easy to be able to read famous books, understand the principles of sages, and understand the principles of dealing with people.

Reading, after all, is a hard job, working on a cold bench, from nine to nine, regardless of the severe cold or heat, competing with books, and constantly transforming between the paradise in the book and the complexity of reality, looking for similarities, it is really difficult .

No matter how well-respected a famous official or general is, there will always be some dudes among his descendants, regardless of their roots, but their talents will inevitably be mediocre.

Even with a first-class family background, only a small part can stand out.

Most people are not optimistic about this education reform!
If you are good at learning, you will be an official. Since ancient times, the purpose of learning is to rule the world, but now your Majesty thinks that learning literature and literacy is just to understand some truths that can be passed on orally.

Overkill for little use will cost a lot and benefit little, and even reading will encourage people's ambitions.

The person in charge of these things went to Tubo, a country that may go to war with the Great Zhou at any time, no matter how you look at it, it will not be possible to return smoothly!
So, the momentarily dormant dissent began to rear its head.

And this time the emotions that have been fermented and brewed will not be calmed down as easily as the first time.

The world, the world is the world of people.

Apart from the will of the emperor, everyone has their own ideas.Although Wu Zetian has great courage, more than [-]% of the people oppose it. One can imagine how difficult it is to implement it.

Everyone in the world loves stability, they don't care who is the emperor, they only care about the job in front of them.But doing things is different. Whether you are happy or not, you can't see the long-term benefits, and the immediate benefits are hard to see.Even if education reform is regarded as a scourge, it will cause difficulties for future generations and great changes in the world. Who can do this willingly.

The emperor commanded a hundred officials, and a hundred officials commanded all the people. The emperor's orders required the execution of the officials and the cooperation of all the people.

Now the emperor and the people are happy to see it, but the officials are not.

As a result, hundreds of officials will deceive the people, deceive and report upwards, and evade the holy will.

The resistance was too great, and Wu Zetian didn't dare to underestimate it.

The lobbying of the aristocratic family is also indispensable, but everyone knows everyone's wishes.

The early court was very strange. Everyone agreed and did not dare to refute it, but they refused to cooperate. The Sixth Department of Lihu Libing and Criminal Industry adopted a policy of no resistance and no cooperation at the same time.

Do you agree?agree.Do you contribute?No.

Wu Ze's weather was so bad that he almost had to use the simplest and rude method-killing chickens to scare monkeys.

Everything in front of life is floating clouds, with a sharp knife in the neck, who can not cooperate?
However, after the political stability for so long, Wu Zetian didn't want to get angry, and she declared that she believed in Buddhism, and she didn't eat much meat, so it would be too embarrassing to start killing.

So, she thought of a better way.

After the court, the princess was ordered to enter the palace to meet her.

Playing right is a common thing, so the princess and Shen Sanwen don't have any burden.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian began to talk about history when he saw the princess.

Talk about how ill-fated she was as a child.

Her parents have been strict with her since she was a child, hoping that she can understand strategies, know how to advance and retreat, and support her two older brothers who are useless.Later, her father died, and it was difficult for her two elder brothers to survive in the Wu family. For the sake of her mother and the Wu family, she traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang.

In Luoyang, she saw the most prosperous scene in the world, read more books, and through these experiences, she came into contact with the power center of a country, and gradually took the world and the government as her responsibility and ideal.

And so on.

Shen Sanwen only commented in one sentence, which is full of drama.

What Wu Zetian meant was that she had worked hard all her life, and now there were only three children she couldn't let go of, especially the princess.

So this is a challenge, but also an opportunity.

So she planned to be a hands-off shopkeeper and outsource this matter to the princess who needed experience.

This happened under her governance, and the princess is also credited. Even if there are reactionary forces, it's better for one to sing the red face and the other to sing the bad face. What a good plan!

The princess took the errand down.

Filial piety is on the one hand, and on the other hand, husband and wife work together to cut money. Wouldn't it be easier for the two of them to work together?
Wu Zetian also thought clearly that this matter may affect the general situation, so he said a lot of words and laid the groundwork emotionally for a long time.

This can be regarded as letting go and delegating power to the two of them. As the crown prince, she can't always let her play the front line without getting exercise!

Entering the palace early in the morning, the husband and wife returned home after a while.

Wu Zetian had invited them many times to enter the East Palace, but these two people still like to be quiet and make decisions on their own in the mansion, which is much more free than intrigue in the palace cage.

A person's influence on the world depends on his status and role, not where he lives.Wu Zetian is in Luoyang, Luoyang is the actual capital of the country, if she is in Chang'an, the officials and the Imperial Army can only follow her.

In the past, Wu Zetian was in charge behind the affairs, but now she has become a princess, Shen Sanwen was a little flustered.

If you lose, you will really lose everything. Thinking about today's prosperity and wealth, I really feel a little bit reluctant.

But the princess has already made a decision, so he can only cooperate as much as possible. After all, he doesn't have so many pursuits, and he just hopes everyone is well.

The princess drew a vast blueprint on the paper, "To really implement reforms, the court must be twisted into one rope, and the administration of officials must be rectified. This time, we can take advantage of the opportunity of reform to reduce some officials in the court and at the same time remove some Replace important positions with our own people."

Shen San asked, "People who cannot be persuaded by reason?"

The princess shook her head, "Some people who are not good for me to be emperor and are not suitable to stay in the capital."

Shen Sanwen pondered for a while and asked, "Should Zhang Yang transfer the guards to Beijing?"

The princess shook her head again, "It's not worth the loss to be framed as treason. Now the guards in the mansion are strong enough. As long as the empress doesn't launch the imperial army, it will be impenetrable."

Shen Sanwen picked up her drawings for writing and drawing, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The princess replied, "Now there are three parties to deal with.

The first is the army power, Wang Xiaojie guards Tubo, Wang Fangyi guards the central part to support all parties, Heizhi Changzhi guards the west and north, Zhang Yang cannot escape from Turks.There must be enough power to frighten them, or make them obey from the bottom of their hearts. This is what the empress is most worried about, so it must be done well.

The second is the opposition forces in the DPRK and China. They have to sing opposites in everything, which is fine in normal times, but now they can't stay.I plan to break them up and arrange them in various places. If I can figure it out, I will reuse them if they are valuable.

The third is the neutral forces, most of which are subordinate to the queen mother, except for those confidantes of the queen mother, they should also show their attitude. "

Shen San asked scratching his head, "Is it so troublesome?"

The princess smiled and said, "If you want them to do things, you must let them have no obstacles. There is also motivation. I can give the promise that the queen mother can't give. There must be brave men under the reward. As long as you can persuade some people to stand up, we You will be able to see more reactionary forces and uproot them.”

Shen San asked with a doting smile, "You can do whatever you like, I have already prepared the necessary materials, only the personnel issue will be discussed after the rectification of officials is completed."

Princess: "Yes."

According to his situation in court, this is not an easy job.I am afraid that there are quite a few people who obey and obey, and there are also those who obey the general trend and cause trouble for trivial matters. Just distinguishing and persuading is enough trouble.

This time I didn't start with the veterans. They have lived too long and their world view has been finalized. Many people want to spend their old age in peace and don't have major accidents.

On the contrary, those young people would want to make contributions and fight bravely, so the princess aimed at the idlers in the court and those who failed the imperial examination.

Make the best use of everything and make the best use of people.

Among those who have lost their names, there will be many who give up taking the imperial examination again, or those whose families are difficult and unable to take the imperial examination.

If they are the masters of the schools established by the state, they can get paid and have access to various classics, study while working, and do what they have been doing for more than ten years, but from learning to teaching.

It's really a good thing.

Then Chaozhong saw the idle ministers who couldn't be promoted. Learning was fine, but he couldn't deal with practical matters. There was no hope of promotion, and it was not easy to change careers.Now the Dazhou country has given you a new identity, still serving the country, and allowing them to have a brand new life.

Another good thing!
Isn't Di Renjie just doing education work now?

Although others are emperor teachers and teach different people, who can guarantee that what you teach in the future will not be the number one scholar?If you can teach a few good students, you are also a winner in life!
I'm afraid these people can't understand her painstaking efforts.

Shen Sanwen thought for a while and wrote an article, the future of the motherland, with the theme of heroes coming out of youth and youth determining the future of the country, praising teachers, and emphasizing on promoting Confucius' thought that there is no distinction between teaching and learning.It is the legacy of the sages that every scholar should inherit to let the people of the whole country pay respects.

No matter what ideas you have, just thinking is not enough, you must work hard to write, and write what you want to say in a language full of emotion, so that people can understand your thoughts and be infected.

When dealing with literati, a weapon like a pen is much better than a gun.

Many people mistake the stories in the book for a kind of life experience, and empathize with them, and use the sorrow and joy of the characters in the book to affect the senses of reality.

Every text they read has a certain probability of deepening their concepts. Therefore, after Shen Sanwen left for a few days, Luoyang will seem to have changed to a different world. Gein has come into contact with too many opposing voices.

Now, the time has come to set things right.

As the most influential person in the Ministry of Culture, Shen Sanwen is very familiar with this job.

The first step he has to do is to prove its correctness to the world, and then convince the first batch of like-minded people.

As usual, all the recommendation positions of the Ministry of Education have been published in articles calling on aspiring young people to engage in education and follow the wishes of sages.

Every time I read these people's thoughts of rebellion, I will lose one point. Shen Sanwen believes that they will trigger their reflection, what is the real truth!
There is also a more radical conspiracy theory.

The social trend is unstoppable. Since the imperial examination for scholars was born, and the status of scholars is superior to others, there will be countless people pursuing the superior status.

Shen Sanwen also used this to analyze the importance of education. Evangelism is to build a bridge in this road, and the kindness to people is like rebuilding. How lofty the status of those who lead the way and preach in their hearts is.

Will those who are really serious about teaching and solving doubts not be respected and rewarded?
This is the need of society, and history is driven by various social needs.

If you bravely take this step today, everyone is a person who makes history. This is a great opportunity.

A person's brilliance is limited, but each of his students will carry forward his brilliance, and they cannot be soldiers, and the glory they get will be much higher than that of officials.When peaches and plums are everywhere, who will think of the embarrassment and helplessness of the past.

Shen Sanwen also advised, don’t worry about your own character and knowledge are not enough to teach, everything is difficult at the beginning, can teach students to read and write, and can do some simple sentence explanations, is the most important guide for students in the first step.

Shen Sanwen wrote a lot, and did not refute other people's ideas, nor did he talk about educational reform and expenditure, but only mentioned the imperial examinations that the masses valued, and only mentioned the benefits of being a teacher.

Dazhou is so big, how many people can win the exam?Moreover, they are all officials, and their opposition will no longer be mere words, but will be put into action.

What he wants to impress are those who did not pass the exam, did not take the exam, and had no hope of passing.

Nor did he expect those who boasted of their talents to teach.

Although a few people lead the trend, the decision-making power rests with the majority of mediocre people. They will judge that the behavior and speech are beneficial to them, and then make a choice. They are the ones who really decide the direction and trend of society.

Shen Sanwen is confident that he stands above the truth and can guide them.

Just kidding, if there is such a big position as the Ministry of Education, it would be shameful to lose!
The implicit idea of ​​a conspiracy theory is:
Now those who have studied hard and think that most people are not worthy of studying are against it, what about you?Do you consider yourself worthy of reading?Even if you don't read well, is it wrong for you to read?Even if you don't win the exam, are you still not allowed to live better than them?
Shen Sanwen looked forward to their answers.

Shen Sanwen's articles can always arouse extensive discussions, even more so than Shangguan Wan'er.

The wind direction among literati is quietly changing, and there is a kind of aroused rebellious wind direction that is particularly obvious.

Shen Sanwen criticized the behavior of those high-ranking people who monopolized the way of poor people to get promoted. Chen Sheng said it more than 1000 years ago. There are other kinds of princes and generals. Why are they the only ones who can study?If they read well, can they look down on people?
No, even if they don't win the exam, they are good at reading. If they can't read, how can they read so many good-looking novels, know the experiences of the characters in the books, and expand their life deeper and longer!

By listening to operas and books?No kidding, those people limit their imaginations, take it out of context, it's a blasphemy of fiction.

Reading can increase knowledge and make their lives happier, yes!
This kind of person who hinders the common people from achieving greater happiness, what qualifications do they have to be an official, and what qualifications do they have to stop them!
