Chapter 140: The Change and Push of Confucianism (3)

On the fifth day after the hunt, Liu Che personally took the San Gong to survey the hall site and asked the Mingtang to be built east of Nan'anmen and west of Dumen. Liu Che had to urge Shaofu Temple to step up the implementation, requiring that Confucian scholars could teach Confucian classics here when they were pilgrimage in a few months.

Now, Zhao Wan took Wang Zang to the future Mingtang site. When the craftsmen saw the two ministers coming to inspect, they immediately cheered up.

After they circled around the hall, Wang Zang said excitedly: "I took a look at it in a general way. The hall is more than 140 feet in size, which is much larger than the Mingtang in the previous dynasty."

Zhao Wan looked at the grass falling from a distance and said, "This is the emperor's wiseness. But it is really not easy to do this."

"Do you know that the ministers have complained about Your Majesty's behavior?" Wang Zang sighed.

"Who is the leader?"

"Shi Jian, the son of Shi Fen, Shi Fen. This Shi Fen was favored by the Empress Dowager for advocating Huang-Lao's theory. When the late emperor was the crown prince, he was the Grand Tutor. His four sons are now ranks of two thousand stones, so he is known as the King of Wan Shi. They are unwilling to be excluded from the center, so they must find the Empress Dowager." Wang Zang said unnaturally with his eyes.

Zhao Wan took a breath: "After saying this, I really have an impression. I remember that outside Sima's Gate that day, he once said that the rules that the late emperor followed were lost. It turned out that he..."

"So! The Mingtang must have a strong person to sit in the formation. When the emperor comes back from hunting this time, I will report to Emperor Ming to invite my friend Shen Gong to come out of the mountain. Only he can fight against Wan Shijun."

"Your friend is actually Mr. Shen!"

"He is old, and I'm afraid he can only help us this time..." Wang Zang didn't know whether Confucianism could be implemented, so he had to try his best to compete with Huang Lao's theory.

During the conversation, Mingtang had been turned around by the two. When Shi Jian looked at Mingtang and looked at Mingtang, his tsk-sounding look appeared in front of the two, the two were shocked. They did not expect that Shi Fen and his son would inquire about the emperor's appointment!

He planned to avoid Shi Jian, but he had seen the two of them. Shi Jian pretended to be very surprised and said, "Can you tell me what are you doing when you start a groundbreaking work here?"

"Xu Mingtang!"

After taking Zhao Wan's words, Wang Zang saw Shi Jian's false love and said angrily: "Your father, Da Wen Guangbo, have you ever taught you what Mingtang is used for?"

"I certainly know that Your Majesty has been promoting Confucianism recently, but since Emperor Taizu Gao, my dynasty has been following Huang Laozhi's sayings. I don't agree with Your Majesty's move. I think the Empress Dowager thinks so too!" Shi Jian moved out of the mountain and fought back.

"You want to report to the Empress Dowager?"

He smiled mysteriously, Shi Fen did not answer, and turned his head and walked away.

Compared to directly promoting Confucianism, Liu Che admires the fact that education is first run, laying a foundation, and allowing the people to first come into contact with Confucianism, so that they can easily be deeply rooted in the hearts of people. They will never be very popular after all. After all, for decades, everyone's habits are limited to the cage of inaction and governance.

"If Dong Zhongshu comes, you can lead him into Xuanshi Hall again. I have something to do to have a long talk with him!"

Han Yan replied: "When will Mr. Dong arrive?"

"Dong Zhongshu always visited me in the evening a few years ago. I don't know if you have observed it, but I think he would refuse to come by that time. I'll do something else first." Liu Che thought for a while, got up from the chair, yawned and said.

"I discovered this..."

After studying the edicts or administrative measures left by the father, Liu Che made a preliminary understanding of what happened to the school in this era.

There are two types of official schools run by local governments: one is the "county and national studies" of university nature, and the other is the "school", "school" and other schools of primary school nature. Although these are not officially widely promoted by the government, Liu Che also needs to learn from it and establish orthodox local more common official schools.

"This is sent by the queen again!" Liu Che walked into the Xuanshi Hall and saw what was on the table, and smiled at Bao Sang.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is sympathetic to your hard work and has specially ordered you to finish the delivery."

After tasting a piece of pastry and smiling with satisfaction, Liu Che pushed the plate to the corner of the table and read the memorial again.

Since she was the only wife, Liu Che tried his best to accept the choice of concubine of the Queen Mother. Chen Ajiao inherited the position of queen and entered the Jiaofang Hall not long ago. At this time, she also learned the palace rules of being the queen and led her young follower Li Yan to work hard.

It would cause criticism to be favored by only one person, but if this person is the queen and comes from a very right way, it would be natural that the empress dowager and the others would agree, and the ministers would have nothing to say. So when the news of the only one concubine in Yangyang's harem or the queen was spread, the whole city sighed at the emperor's loyalty.

But the officials complained so much. The wife at home always kept worrying about their wives and concubines, saying that the emperor only loved one, so officials should learn and kicked all the waddles.

"The local officials were founded in the late years of the late emperor. Wen Weng, the prefect of Shu County, wanted to change customs and promote education. He first selected more than ten intelligent people from the county officials to Chang'an and studied for a doctorate. This is the earliest training measure. A few years later, these people returned after completing their studies. So Weng spread it and widely established schools, recruiting children from the county to enroll. Those who have completed their studies were given priority or recommended to the court to serve as officials. Shu County has since become a prosperous academic style.

If Your Majesty wants to run a local official school, you can learn from the style of Shu County and let the prefect promote it and support it!" Dong Zhongshu saw that Liu Che was interested in the official school, so he spoke.

"Everything will collapse when it comes to the local area. These people may not listen to me because they are far away. According to my opinion, they should pronounce the world to supervise officials of all sizes. If there is any violation of the ban, no matter the coachman, the merchants and farmers, they can go to Beijing to complain. If the situation is true, not only will they pay their travel expenses, but I will also be rewarded!"

Liu Che said frankly, disdaining to embezzle local officials and bullying the king of lords with power.

This is very similar to Mencius's theory. Dong Zhongshu said in confusion: "Your Majesty wants to learn from Mencius's theory, practice benevolent government, and strive for the support of the people's hearts. To obey without fighting, it is a matter of "benevolent people are invincible" and to perform the virtue of "the people are more important than the king"?"

"I don't think so, but I have to go from the local area to the whole country to try it out, complete the standardization, and then go all over the world." This is the case. From individual cases to the whole country, Liu Che thought it was good to use it here.

"This is a new idea. Your Majesty wants to repair it in time?" Dong Zhongshu's face tightened and he asked hurriedly.

Take out the edict from your arms, Liu Che handed it to Dong Zhongshu, and chuckled, "Master, you can see it!"

It turns out that it was the first born Rising Sun, full of energy. Dong Zhongshu didn't expect it. The emperor had already had an idea!

After carefully checking, Dong Zhongshu's face gradually became relaxed. He pondered for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty is very strict and you can't see any comments below. If you spread the world, all the people will have more or less smart people to promote it!"

"Test it in Chang'an City first. After the rules are rectified, I will naturally develop the official schools in the world!" Liu Che said with a happy smile.

As soon as Shi Jian returned home, he informed him of the news he had found. Although the old man was old, he was not slow to act. He was shocked and angry and quickly sent his son to prepare for the car, and he was going to meet the Empress Dowager.

It was not until the evening that Shi Fen was sent home by the Empress Dowager. Even though she was very angry, she still did not forget to treat him.

What is Liu Che doing?

That's how the Empress Dowager found out,

Liu Che wanted to hide it for a few days
