Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 232 Debate at the Imperial College (2)

The Imperial College is located in Chongjiao Square, with the overall building facing north and south. It was the central official school established in the Ming Dynasty and was also the highest educational management institution. Together with the Nanjing Imperial College, it is also known as the North and South Yong. It is the most desirable place for scholars in the Ming Dynasty!
"I don't know who can win this debate. I heard that it even alarmed Jijiu."

"Is the sacrificial wine back?"

"Yes, there has been an uproar in the capital recently, and some etiquette is unclear. However, I am very surprised that the Jijiujiu is not in charge of the Imperial Academy, and he often runs out of the capital. Why?"

"You are not the only one who is strange. Your Majesty originally set up the Huangming Times, which was run by our Imperial College, but now it is all under the supervision of Nan Study."

"Stop chatting and go quickly. Don't wait until you get there..."

After entering the Imperial College, I saw many students walking together. They chatted while walking and seemed to be very interested in something. This attracted the attention of Zhu Youjian and Cao Bianjiao.

"Brother Huang, why are they all in such a hurry?"

Zhu Youjian looked puzzled and looked at his royal brother and said, "They mentioned the debate just now. It seems that it didn't happen in the Imperial College before, right?"

"The debate was officially held in the Imperial College after Xu Guangqi took office as the Imperial College."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said as he walked: "Talking about the style of state affairs cannot be banned by issuing a few decrees and issuing a few official documents.

Blocking is worse than sparse.

Since scholars like to do these things to satisfy their inner superiority, it is better to clarify various rules and ask them to debate a certain debate topic. If there is any merit in it, they can choose to enter the imperial court. Published by Ming Times. "

It is very popular among scholars to make irresponsible comments about state affairs and criticize officials, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in other dynasties.

It's just this phenomenon. Maybe the original intention was good, but as time went by, more people got involved, more distracting thoughts and more calculations, which also caused this behavior to evolve into a continuation of party struggle. , and the disputes over public opinion all have a very deep purpose.

Zhu Youxiao would not do this simply and crudely to imprison thoughts and curb cultural development. The more suppressed, the stronger the backlash.

The more books you read, the more distracting thoughts you have.

What Zhu Youxiao has to do is to guide effectively and try to get rid of the deep-rooted ideological dross, especially the set of ethics and education cages. Some must be broken, actively broaden the main line of culture and thought, and build a Chinese-speaking country as the main body. Confident, open and inclusive national ideology!
Even if the Ming Dynasty is really gone one day, if this concept can be passed down, the Chinese civilization will not decline. After all, how can there be a dynasty that remains unchanged for thousands of years?

"It's still too busy."

Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly, "Everyone has never been hungry. If you study, just study hard. From now on, take part in the imperial examination, share the worries of the country, and worry about the country. While enjoying the moment, you want to destroy your job. If it were me, I would get a whip. Whip them.”

"Haha~"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and reached out to tap Cao Bianjiao's forehead.

Cao Bianjiao shrank his head and did not dare to say anything else.

The reason why Cao Bianjiao said these words was that when he followed the British Duke Zhang Weixian to Baoding, he heard some slanderous and slanderous words about the emperor, and most of these words were spread randomly by damn scholars.

If Zhang Weixian hadn't stopped him, Cao Bianjiao would have dared to lead his men to kill them.

How cruel is the emperor?
Where is the emperor so stupid?
Even though Cao has been transformed into a dragon-faced saint for a few times, what kind of emperor is he? He has a strong conscience in his heart. Which of the people he killed should not be killed?
Just because they are officials?

Just because they are scholars?

There is no such truth in the world!
"You, don't be so emotional when looking at problems, don't be so simple." Zhu Youxiao pointed at Cao Bianjiao and scolded with a smile: "Some things are not what you think."

"Your Majesty... Young Master! I don't understand these principles, and I don't want to understand them."

Under Zhu Youjian's gaze, Cao Bianjiao said: "I just know one thing. This person must know how to be grateful. It is a fact that the imperial court favors scholars. He can even obtain corresponding honors and be given corresponding privileges. The last thing he should do is have any objections to the imperial court." Yes, they are scholars.

Tax-free, this is a real bonus.

But what about some scholars?While enjoying the privileges, he is plotting against the court. Why is he plotting?For profit, no matter what some scholars say, gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way. Grandma, they are the most greedy. They don’t even talk about preferential treatment, they just talk about throwing it away and donating it. Then..."

Dare to say it.

Zhu Youjian's Adam's apple squirmed and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Cao Bianjiao, who became more and more excited as he talked. However, many of what Cao Bianjiao said were things Zhu Youjian had not known before.

"No more talking, some things need to be done slowly."

Zhu Youxiao stopped and reached out to pat Cao Bianjiao's shoulder.

"Master, I am Meng Lang."

Cao Bianjiao raised his hand respectfully and said, "Please punish me severely..."

"If you tell the truth, you will be severely punished?"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted with a smile: "Then who will dare to tell the truth in the future?" Zhu Youxiao knew and understood Cao Bianjiao's reaction. After all, these things existed under the Ming Dynasty.

If privileges are not removed, there will never be fairness!
Han Zan, who was accompanying him on the trip, was all on tenterhooks. However, after listening to what the emperor said, they all understood that the emperor trusted Cao Bianjiao.

Especially Cao Bianjiao is still a military commander.

Even if he is small.

But he is still a military commander.

Some things can be said, but they depend on the occasion and more importantly, the status. Therefore, what is complicated in this world is not things, but the people themselves!
Imperial Palace Square.

"What you said is wrong! Let's not mention why the Integrity Council was established. Let's talk about the actions of the Integrity Council. Even if it is for corruption, the laws and patriarchal laws of the court have also been trampled by this behavior. Since the court has three judicial departments, then Why not conduct the trial through the Tri-Judge Division?”

"In your opinion, it was a mistake to set up the Institute of Integrity from the very beginning? It's really ridiculous. Let me ask you, Cangchang is such an important place. It is the root of people's livelihood. From the time our government decided There have been mistakes in warehouses since the capital, but have there ever been such appalling incidents as leaks in old Taicang and shipping warehouses?"

"Yes! You may want to say that this is an accident. I want to ask you, I want to burn down your mansion. Can you also say that this is an accident? Are all the dead people in your nursing home?"

"This student, please pay attention. I'm warning you, it's okay to debate, but don't make it personal."

"I note, returning to the topic of debate, His Majesty's special establishment of the Integrity Council is, in my opinion, a very wise decision. In terms of today's officialdom, is it really good? Yes, the country has a Metropolitan Procuratorate, but all Did those officials in the Procuratorate really fulfill their duties?"

When we arrived at the Grand Square of the Imperial College, there were people everywhere, and in the center of the crowd was a high platform with many young talents standing on it. They held copper trumpets in their hands and stood on the pros and cons according to the debate topics they received. Both parties have their own positions and elaborate on their respective concepts and ideas.

It was quite lively.

Zhu Youxiao stood together, Zhu Youjian and Cao Bianjiao stood side by side, and Han Zan, who was accompanying him, looked around cautiously.

Shen Tingyang, Ni Yuanlu, Su Guansheng...

Although there was some distance from the high platform, Zhu Youxiao knew the identities of these students through the wooden signs written by them, especially the familiar names. After being seen by Zhu Youxiao, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth. .

If the Ming Dynasty wants to change, the officialdom must be changed first. Killing batches of corrupt officials is the last thing. After all, there are many people who want to be officials. If there are vacancies, new people will be added. How to recruit batches of talents? , promoted to the most appropriate position, this is what Zhu Youxiao wants to do.

The most important point is why these promoted people can unswervingly follow him to implement the New Deal. This is the key.

"There's a long way to go."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao felt a little emotional at the moment.

"Brother, what did you think of?"

Zhu Youjian, who had been listening attentively, now looked at his royal brother.

"Have you noticed that...most of the students in the Imperial College are from good backgrounds?"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian began to observe the crowd gathered here with doubts. Gradually, he found that many scholars, whether it was the clothes they wore, the things they wore, or their speech and behavior, were all from wealthy families. There can't be any.

“Farm education is sinking, and this cage must be broken.”

Zhu Youxiao's hanging hands were clenched tightly, as if muttering to himself, as if telling Zhu Youjian, "What Ming Dynasty lacks most is talents, but there are too many people who are not even qualified to receive education, and eventually they are lost in the World."

So in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili, the preparations for the establishment of school buildings in the imperial villages and the establishment of medical, mathematics, engineering, agriculture, business and other school buildings in the suburbs of Beijing are all the beginning?

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he thought of what his imperial brother had done in Huangzhuang by having the young man in charge, and even allocated a lot of money to gather a group of talents.

How could Zhu Youjian, who was born in the royal family, really understand how luxurious education was in the Ming Dynasty? The economic accounts behind it were not clear at all.

If you want to break the privilege, you must break the education monopoly!
Allowing more people to receive education, even just literacy, will bring about changes and impacts that will be unimaginable.

"Brother, what do you think of this debate?"

Zhu Youjian knew that his royal brother had many things hidden in his heart, including leaving the palace this time, just to distract himself. Because the Integrity Council had widely circulated official notices and summoned a large number of Beijing officials, the government was in turmoil, and the impeachment memorial was sent to Shangshu. Like snowflakes, they swarmed in front of the imperial court, and many other government offices, including the cabinet, came to Qianqingmen to ask for an audience, but Zhu Youxiao ignored them all.

"It's just a shallow view without worldliness."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "If the world is really as they think, there won't be so many tragedies in the world, let alone so much injustice."

But when he said this sentence, he caught the attention of someone who came late.
