I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 403: Depose hundreds of families, return all rivers to the sea

The fire flows in the seventh month, and the clothes are given in the ninth month.

It has been three and a half months since Chen Luo returned to Chang'an. It's time for the weather to get colder and it's time to add more clothes.

"Crench."

Pushing open the door, he saw the withered grass in the unfamiliar courtyard covered with white frost, and the cold air went straight from the tip of his nose to his throat. He rubbed his hands twice, then blew out a mouthful of white steam into his palms, and sighed, "It's really cold. .”

After passing through several corridors, he asked his servants to prepare a bowl of sweet porridge in the kitchen, plus a portion of white noodles. There was nothing fishy about it, and there was only a boiled egg hidden in it.

Simple and light.

Such an early meal can ensure that you won't feel groggy and slow-thinking all morning due to excessive satiety.

Not long after he sat down, Li Xu appeared out of nowhere, holding half a piece of biscuit in his hand and said, "Good morning. Didn't I go to court yesterday? Boyu, why did you get up so early again?"

Scooping up a spoonful of sweet porridge, Chen Luo took a sip and replied with a smile: "Yesterday morning, His Majesty asked me about the progress of my Imperial Academy preparations. Maybe he thought it was a little slow, so he asked me to come to the palace today."

"Is this still too slow?" Li Xu shook his head in confusion, "If the foundation is not laid firmly and the mortise and tenon joints are not connected firmly, then the tall building with its colorful appearance may collapse in an instant under the strong wind, let alone you. On the way to prepare for the Imperial Academy, we also encountered resistance, so we couldn’t rush it.”

Chen Luo slowly stirred up the noodles and said slowly: "The inspection system is the first step in the reform after His Majesty takes office. I definitely hope to see the results as soon as possible. It is understandable.

You don't need to worry too much. His Majesty is a sensible person. What he wants to see more is a finished product that strives for excellence rather than a defective product that is rushed out. "

Different positions lead to different perspectives on issues.

There are natural differences in the identities of Chen Luo and Liu Che.

Of course, both men have the same goal of getting this done.

Nodding, Li Xu responded: "A message has been sent from Luoyang. Duke Guo has set out ten days ago to come to Guanzhong. He will arrive in Chang'an in about two or three days to contact the local snakes here for us and solve the problem. The power of gangs."

After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, Boyu, those nobles sent servants over to ask several times when the housewarming party will be held."

Chen Luo waved his hand and said, "It's not urgent. We have just moved in a few days ago and the furniture has not yet been added. How dare we entertain guests."

After chatting casually for a while, Chen Luo took the sweet porridge and took the last sip, "I'm going to the palace."

……

"Your Majesty, Senior Chen is here." A eunuch stepped into the room and reported softly, reminding Liu Che who was reading documents at the top.

This matter is arranged on the schedule, so if the other party comes over, there is no need to make an appointment in advance. They can directly bring it to Weiyang Palace. They only need to inform when entering the palace.

Upon hearing this, Liu Che looked away from the document in his hand, raised his head and said, "Let him come in directly."

The eunuch responded respectfully, "Wei."

Then he turned around and walked out with a look of emotion on his face.

In recent days, the topic of discussion about this reform prince is one of the highest in Chang'an.

In the wine shop and teahouse, everyone is talking about the upcoming Taixue.

Some people accuse it of being superficial, and it will definitely be the exclusive preserve of the rich and powerful in the future.

Some people praise it for bringing together hundreds of rivers, and it will definitely become a arena for the Taoist struggles in the future.

Some people lamented that it caters to poor families, and it will definitely be a ladder for ordinary scholars to ascend to heaven in the future.

As the helmsman of this institution, Chen Luo received no less attention than Taixue.

And the label on him is even more eye-catching than Taixue.

The descendant of the Chen family in Yangxia who was living abroad, the end of the tyranny of King Li of Jiaoxi, the bell ringer of the southern floods, the military genius praised by the Marquis of Huaiyin, the first prince conferred by the emperor after taking office... His length is just one of his identity tags.

Even in terms of legendary level, it is not even ranked in the top five.

With Chen Luolai in charge of Imperial College, most people are very relieved.

Such trust comes from various sources.

One is Chen Luo’s family background.

The Chen family of Yangxia was not only respected among the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty, but also had considerable prestige among the grassroots.

With the identity of a descendant of the Yangxia Chen family endorsing Chen Luo, most people were willing to believe that Chen Luo would not commit fraud and turn Taixue into a smoky place in the process of taking charge of the Imperial Academy.

Secondly, Chen Luo himself gave a convincing performance.

Whether it was reporting and exposing the atrocities committed by King Li of Jiaoxi, or assisting countless people in disaster relief in the south, it all shows that he has perfect character and extraordinary abilities.

Under such circumstances, Chen Luo made no major mistakes and no one else could write a letter of impeachment.

"Marquis Weixin, please come this way." The eunuch walked to the foot of the steps and bowed.

He secretly thought, indeed, the people of Chang'an praised him and his majesty valued him. He was so majestic and calm. He had only seen this kind of calmness in a few courtiers.

Following the eunuch into the Weiyang Palace, Chen Luo greeted Liu Che as usual, then chatted for a few words, and then began to discuss serious matters.

"Boyu, yesterday you reported on the progress of Taixue's preparations, why is it so slow?" Liu Che said calmly, his tone did not contain much blame, it was a normal question.

Chen Luo replied: "The preparation and establishment of Taixue mainly focus on three issues.

First of all, it is the location selection of Taixue. I have a chosen location in my mind, and I am currently promoting it. The results will be available within ten days.

Secondly, there is the source of Taixue students. In addition to the talented people who have been promoted, how to determine the scope of recruitment of young children, but it is not too late to consider this after the official establishment of Taixue.

Finally, it was the appointment of Doctor Taixue that put me in trouble. "

His answers were clear.

These are the issues that need to be considered in preparation for Taixue.

Especially the last point.

He had never thought before that recruiting qualified teachers for Taixue would actually be a problem.

The Mohist family alone could not support the reputation of Imperial College.

But now Chen Luo has nothing to do with the Han academic circle.

If it was fifty years ago, he could have approached Zhang Cang and asked him to recommend some disciples to him.

Liu Che narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there a shortage of candidates for Doctor of Taixue... Boyu?"

"That's right." Chen Luo was convinced, with a touch of bitterness on his face, "Your Majesty, you don't know. There are so many schools of thought in the world, as numerous as stars. It is not easy to find outstanding ones among them. For example, Confucianism has the rule of Spring and Autumn Period The one who treats the rams, the one who treats the rams..."

At this time, I didn't intend to show off.

Even if he can use various means privately to find a teacher for Taixue, wouldn't it be better to be able to rely on official power?

"That's it..." Liu Che rubbed his chin and fell into thinking. After a while, he raised his head and flashed in his eyes, "Boyu, do you think I can get rid of these complicated thoughts, unify the thoughts of various schools of thought in the Han Dynasty, and make the world more famous?" Returning to the sea, is it good or bad?"
