I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 97 On Education
"The government wants to open another house, of course it is possible."

It was still on the tower of the Donghua Gate... Last time it was here, the Tai students were beaten by a group of villains.

Afterwards... What happened afterwards? Su Fu knew about it when the Imperial Army of the Dianqian Division stopped all the messengers.

This matter is probably inseparable from Zhao Guan's family.

But what he didn't expect was that this matter has not passed with the emperor.

Today, the official called me here, and they were talking about the suggestion to open a new house in Taixue. They said it was a suggestion, but the emperor seemed to be notifying himself.

"Although I don't know much about your knowledge, I have also heard that there is a saying in "Zhou Li": "Raising a country's son with Tao is to teach the six arts." , are these?"

Su Fu nodded and said, "Exactly."

"But I asked someone to ask. Except for the six books that were not left behind, the rest were more or less ignored or even abandoned... In this way, I can only teach some sour scholars in the end."

While speaking, the emperor seemed to remember something, and kept shaking his head:
"They're all young people who are full of vigor. If you let them sit and read dead books all day long, they will have nowhere to use their strength, and they will be suffocated."

"Look, last time I ran up to Lao Tzu to act wildly. Thinking about it, it's his mother's regret. I should have gone down to make gestures with them in person."

Su Fu cleared his throat: "What do you mean by the government, this newly-opened one-house is used to teach the six arts? So... so I have no objection, but I'm afraid it will take some effort to find an instruction who is also proficient in the six arts .”

Su Shangshu's words are still a bit conservative. When Neo Confucianism flourished in the Song Dynasty, everyone's thoughts were all on the management of classics.

It's really not that simple to find an all-round literati like Xin Ciying who is both literary and martial.

Moreover, after the emperor injured his head, it was rare for him to focus on serious matters. In order not to dampen his enthusiasm, Su Fu didn't say the most important point.

What students learn is not based on what they like or what they are good at.
It depends on what to test in the imperial examination.

If the most important part remains unchanged, even if His Majesty opens ten more dormitories, the interest of the students will not be too high.

In the end, the emperor was very interested, but in the end no students were willing to enroll, and sooner or later this drama would become a one-man show for the emperor alone.

But I didn't want Liu Bang to listen to the old man's words, shook his head and said:

"A new house is a new house, and teaching the six arts is teaching the six arts. These are two things, don't confuse them, kid."

"Six arts, all students have to learn, and I have to learn it well."

"Only those who have learned well can enter the newly opened house, do you understand?"

"Officials..." Su Fu frowned, "The academic system of Taixue has not changed for a hundred years, and now it is temporarily reformed. I am worried...I am worried that the students will complain."

When Wang Anshi reformed the law, he only changed the institution of Taixue. If we talk about the fundamental change, it was only when Renzong changed Taixue style to Ouyang style.

Moreover, these students have studied hard for many years, and most of their families are from families below the eighth grade official or even from commoner backgrounds. Taixue is their only way out.

Now that the emperor is talking about it, he wants to temporarily increase the amount of the five subjects, not to mention what the students who have been promoted to the inner house and the upper house will think, what will those students who have not yet entered the imperial school think .

"Grievance?"

Liu Bang sneered: "If you have any complaints, you can blame them themselves. Who made them not good at learning?"

"I will put my words here today, I don't want a fool who only knows how to read!"

"Is it true that the officials of the imperial court don't want money for free? If you don't show some skills, how dare you ask Lao Tzu for salary?"

"I have already entrusted this matter to you. You can discuss it with Xin Ciying Lu Zai. You have to come up with an explanation for what it will look like in the end."

"Anyway, when I'm hired for an official position next year, I will come to the trial in person, and everyone who fails to pass the test will get out."

Su Fu couldn't stop sighing in his heart. He thought that the emperor paid more attention to students, but he didn't expect it, but he didn't expect it... Sigh!

Except for the possibility that the officials took revenge today because of the incident last time, Su Fu thought about it, but he couldn't think of any other reasons.

With tens of thousands of words in his mind, Su Shangshu still accepted the order in the end, but his face was not very good-looking after all.

"Yesterday, you met the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. Have you found any useful news?"

I was planning to resign, but I heard the emperor ask about this again.

The old man's beard was blown up by him again:

"Officials! Beiyi don't know etiquette, so we don't have to treat them differently from envoys from other countries!"

"Their group of people, how can they know how to be grateful! Yidi, like beasts, are afraid of power and not virtuous. The better we treat them, they will only take it for granted, and they will only think that they made it!"

"But this time it is clear that our Great Song Dynasty won, and it was Wanyan Wushu and Gouyan who came to seek peace. Why should we treat them like a kingdom?"

"Especially Prime Minister Qin... Hmph, I really miss the days when he was taken captive to the north. Seeing a golden man is like seeing an ancestor, so..."

Liu Bang waved his hand and interrupted the old man.

"You kid was angry with the golden man, so you came here to throw something at me?"

"I... I dare not."

"You don't dare, why don't you dare after you've finished spreading?"

After giving him a blank look, Liu Bang went on to say:
"I'm just asking you, do you have any useful news... For example, who are the envoys of the Jinren, for example, what price they are preparing for negotiation, for example, are you prepared to come to see me from such a long distance?" Some souvenirs or something."

It's not that I haven't been an emperor, nor have I seen envoys from other countries.

According to Liu Bang's thinking, no matter how strong you are, you must at least bring some gifts when you go to meet the monarchs of other countries, like a blue-eyed dancer or something.

Whoever goes to someone else's house as a guest is ashamed to go empty-handed.

Su Fu was a little embarrassed, he was disgusted by Qin Hui yesterday, so he slipped away early.

Even the evening banquet was accompanied by other officials. He really didn't know the specific situation.

At this moment when the emperor asked, the old man didn't dare to show his timidity, so he said:

"This time it is Zhang Tonggu who takes the lead, and the two deputy envoys, one is Xiao Yi from the Khitan, and the other is Xing Juzhan from the Han Dynasty in western Liaoning."

If it is said that the emperor is most afraid of the Jin people, the Wanyan family... then the Han people he fears most are undoubtedly Zhang Tonggu. Zhang Tonggu came to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, this is something that everyone has known for a long time.

And according to Jin Guo's mentality of ruling Liao with Han and ruling Han with Liao, it is reasonable for Xiao Yi to come.

As he said that, Su Fu began to scold the Jinren again, and while scolding, he told the emperor not to agree to the peace negotiation.

Anyway, no matter what, the old man just refused to say anything about Liu Bang's concerns.

The emperor was a little annoyed, and was about to tell him to leave quickly, when he saw the avenue below the Donghua Gate suddenly bustling with activity.
