In accordance with the previous request of the Tang Dynasty, people from the Three Kingdoms of Shannan, as well as envoys from the Tang Dynasty who came back along the way, sent some "historical documents" from Shannan to the Tang Dynasty.
This coverage is relatively wide, and most of them are presented in the form of myths on gold and stone. The people of the Three Kingdoms all dug out their wealth, especially the Xiangxiong people. They had the highest level of civilization on the plateau and showed it to the Tang Dynasty.
I also have an ancient heritage and a sense of taking advantage of the opportunity to preach.
The people of the Tang Dynasty tried to study it in order to understand the customs and history of these foreign peoples. By the way, they added to the history books of the Central Plains that this habit had existed in all dynasties, so it was not surprising.
But just like later, some people think that mythological stories should not be regarded as official historical records, while others think that this is not the history of the Central Plains, and it is not a bad idea to truthfully reflect the legends of these foreign races, such as the ancestors of the Central Plains.
Don’t myths and history coexist?
Li Po had an open attitude towards this. He felt that it was meaningless to study the history of the plateau peoples in detail at this time.
The current situation is that the production methods of the Three Kingdoms in Shannan are very backward, and they are also small countries in the city-state system. They are not even countries. It is enough to record their current living conditions just like the historical records of Qin and Han Dynasties.
Archeology was something that people would only do after they had enough to eat. For the Tang Dynasty, it had no practical significance. It could only be used in disguise as evidence for the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the plateau, so there was no need to investigate its origins.
…………
The time has entered December of the seventh year of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the year, the great court meeting, the trend that started from Chang'an Academy has become more and more obvious. It can be said to be fierce, and it has become one of the great events in the early Tang Dynasty.
The scandal at Gangneung Academy added fuel to the fire. Officials from various academies were on pins and needles, and worshipers came to Beijing one after another to plead guilty and defend themselves.
By the seventh year of Yuanzhen, a total of six large academies and more than thirty small academies had been built in the Tang Dynasty, with an enrollment of nearly 10,000 students. It was not that they were everywhere, but they had a certain scale.
This is all the result of the strong support of the imperial court, in order to improve the overall quality of officials in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and at the same time eliminate the various sequelae left by the war in the late Han Dynasty to this day, so that scholars from all over the Central Plains understand that we all have the same origin, and we cannot just because
If they fight each other, they are considered enemies.
These are the meanings extended by the increasing number of academies.
The original intention of establishing academies in the Tang Dynasty was to protect talents for the imperial examinations, and this will not change for a long time.
As for what it means to enlighten people's wisdom and help them get rid of ignorance, it is actually out of the question. It is really difficult for ordinary people to want to study.
The so-called later saying that the poor are rich in literature and rich in military affairs has no basis at this time. If people from poor families want to get rid of their current class, it is easier to join the army than to study.
…………
Before the great dynasty in December, Li Po summoned the three prime ministers to Tai Chi Hall.
The appearance of three prime ministers at the same time often means that something big has happened, so for many people, this is not a good sign.
Just like the eldest grandson Shunde who was in the provincial government office, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The investigation files of the Ministry of Menxia cannot be hidden from him, the servant of the Menxiamen.
The servant Fan Wenjin used the excuse that he was new and wanted to check the records kept in the past so that he could better perform his duties. However, he ordered Sun Fujia to take the lead in the investigation, and Du Chuke actively cooperated.
For Changsun Shunde, this was not a good sign, so he ignored the danger and even asked people in the palace for some information a few days ago.
This belongs to the category of spying on the inner palace, which is not what a minister should do. It carries a very high risk. If you are not a powerful minister or a relative, it is best not to try this easily.
Apparently Changsun Shunde had smelled the smell of danger. He couldn't find out the inside story in Menxia Province and felt something was very wrong.
…………
Today, I heard that the three prime ministers were summoned to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters. The eldest son, Sun Shunde, was pacing back and forth in the office, with the lawsuits on his forehead, and he was no longer interested in dealing with official duties.
As the saying goes, if you don't do evil things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. His eldest grandson, Shunde, has been involved in many things since he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. This is the disadvantage of forming a party.
Making friends with each other and helping each other sounds wonderful, and it is also quite beneficial in the process of fighting for power, but then again, it also means that you must participate in some things, and it is not based on your own will at all.
The enemies of your fellow party members are basically your enemies. You can stop what your fellow party members want to do, but you still have to consider the interests of your fellow party members.
In the end, the commotion must have been caused by the transfer of various interests, and the drama of the party being the same as against the different parties was staged one after another.
For example, Du Yan, the Minister of Rites, who had a close relationship with him, did things without consulting him at all. As a minister, he had to wipe his ass.
…………
It's such an eventful time, Changsun Shunde sighed secretly.
Ever since he failed to compete for the position of minister last year, things have become more and more unsatisfactory. He knew why. A position like minister could not be achieved without the emperor's trust.
For example, when Feng Deyi was still alive, he often drank and talked with the emperor in order to gain the emperor's trust...
Therefore, given his current situation, some people have advised him to seek a foreign post. He is somewhat tempted, but he still cannot let go of the situation he has managed in the capital for many years.
He is old. Once he leaves Beijing, will he be able to come back? Wouldn't all his years of hard work be in vain?
Changsun Shunde was upset and secretly thought that he really shouldn't have surrendered his military power obediently in the first place, otherwise... humph...
Of course, when the situation was over, he and some others wanted to hold the military power and general seal, but that would only happen if they agreed.
…………
"Come here, ask Lu Gaishi to come see me."
Changsun Shunde gave an order to Lu Zongye, who was his confidant in the matter. He wanted to ask what the status of the investigation of the files was.
Sun Fujia had brought up an old score, and he wasn't afraid of anything, but Lu Zongye was the one who handled some things, so he had to be called to talk to him at all times, and don't mess up the situation himself first.
The matter at Chang'an Academy became more and more serious, and many people came to him to plead for mercy.
Changsun Shunde thought that this matter should not be traced to his servant. He had roughly heard about what his subordinates had done, and he didn't care at the time.
I also feel that they are very far-sighted. Starting from Chang'an Academy, they may be able to have a different scene in the future.
The emperor wants to cultivate talents, and the imperial examination is also the general trend. So in the eyes of him, Du Yan and others, whoever can control the imperial examination officials in the future may be able to greatly increase their power...
How wonderful it would be to think about the talents running under the disciples like the Qing of the River. The only pity is that it is only a long-term solution and cannot be used now.
What he was thinking about at that time was to place some people in local county and county positions. Datang would do business with various places. With these local officials, everyone would have more financial and material resources.
To be honest, it is not surprising at all for him to have this idea after experiencing the war in the late Sui Dynasty.
The reason why I kept Ma Zhou's petition for a few days was because I felt that the things mentioned in it were a bit annoying, and I wanted to dismiss it directly. However, Ma Zhou was nothing, and his petition was submitted directly to the door by Wu King Li Fuwei.
If you dare to directly reject it without a solid reason, they will be able to come to the palace and argue with you. With the current momentum of King Wu, how can his eldest grandson Shunde be able to suppress it?
The last few days were the limit. Taking advantage of this little time, he just ordered people to cut off the head and tail. At that time, he did not expect that the matter would become such a big deal.
Dai Wei and Wang Gui led their troops to directly enter the academy and captured the Gavinda brothers immediately. The situation was very bad, and if they tried to make a fuss about it, they would probably get burned.
At this time, the emperor summoned the three prime ministers to the palace, was it because of this? If so, it would be fine, because in his opinion, it was impossible to convict so many literati.
In the end, it is very likely that it will be the same as the imperial examination, and nothing will happen.
After thinking about it, the person who was sent out to call for someone came back and reported to him cautiously, "Servant, Lu has asked Dr. Sun to call him over to answer the question. I don't know when he will be back."
When the eldest son Shunde heard this, he became very angry. He cursed in his heart, "Who is Sun Fujia? How dare he summon his colleagues at will?"
And who doesn’t know that Lu Zongye is the confidant of his eldest grandson Shunde?
Changsun Shunde was furious, "How come I don't know about this? When did this happen? Why didn't Lu Zongye send someone to report it?"
No one answered, and several officials in the room remained silent.
Nowadays, the atmosphere in the province is very tense. The minister is sending people to check the files. It seems that a new official is about to take office. No one wants to burn their own heads.
Changsun Shunde has been serving under his sect for six or seven years and has many party members. Although he seems to have lost power now, there are still many people who are willing to work for him.
Lu Zongye was invited away by Sun Fujia, but Changsun Shunde didn't know. Everyone knows what this means, that is, he didn't want you to know.
Whether it is a demonstration or an opportunity to punish you, it is a reasonable operation. The more intimate you are, the more you will face this risk.
Even though Changsun Shunde was furious at this time, he was already panicking in his heart.
He got up and left the office, wanting to talk to Sun Fujia.
They were all in the province under the door, and the Yamen Hall was very close, but Changsun Shunde came back halfway there. He was a little out of control, and it was very inappropriate to come to the door to question him like this.
Sun Fujia could make him speechless just by following orders. Considering Sun Fujia's character, it would definitely be him, the servant, who would be embarrassed.
After waking up, Changsun Shunde returned to his yamen hall and ordered someone to find out why Sun Fujia called Lu Zongye over.
At the same time, he ordered Zheng Sheng, the regular servant of Sanqi, to keep an eye on the matter and put some pressure on Sun Fujia and others to prevent them from messing around.
When they were about to leave the office in the evening, Lu Zongye and Zheng Sheng hurriedly came to Changsun Shunde, making Changsun Shunde breath a sigh of relief.
But Lu Zongye's words made Changsun Shunde's heart rise to his throat...
