"A few days ago, I went to Mrs. Chengguo's house... You probably don't know yet. Mrs. Chengguo is Empress Xiao. It doesn't matter. It's just that I saw a library in her house. It was said that it was left by Li Shimin for his house.
It is used by bachelors of literature library to study.
It seems to be quite exquisitely built, and there are also some teahouses, prostitutes' residences, etc. Even if scholars don't study there, they should be somewhat relaxed, right?
You know that I come from close quarters and use swords and guns a lot, but I haven’t read a few serious books, so naturally you have a lot of admiration for these literati..."
The emperor spoke slowly, the order seemed vague, but there was a thread to follow. Feng Deyi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing something and asking questions that would be difficult to answer.
This is how you are when you are with the king. You have to be able to speak and listen at the same time. You must especially be able to understand the emperor's mood. Otherwise, it is better not to appear around the king more.
"There seems to be a Hongwen Pavilion in our Tai Chi Palace, right?"
Sure enough, the question came up. Feng Deyi nodded, "Bachelor of Hongwen Hall, I respect everyone. Wang Tong, Sun Fujia, Huang Fenglin, Cui Zuoshi, etc. were all bachelors of Hongwen Hall, but the world is gradually in chaos.
No one wants to spend time on Hongwen Hall anymore.
After all, only beautiful articles are needed to whitewash peace. The Supreme Being came from the bitter cold land of the frontier and fighting for the world with swords and guns is the right way now. There is no need to belittle oneself.
The most recent bachelor of Hongwen Hall should be Yan Zhen. I can’t remember clearly. It’s just that the new Secretary Lang was the former Secretary Supervisor. Dr. Xue should also be a bachelor of Hongwen Hall. I asked him about it. He and Wei Dan and others revised it.
He served as a historian of the Wei Dynasty and later became a scholar. He is quite famous in the East."
Feng Deyi's hero score was very familiar, and a series of names came out of his mouth. Li Po seemed to only know one Xue Deyin, Yan Zhen, it sounded familiar, couldn't it be Yan Shigu?
Everyone has two names. Some are often spoken by their famous names, while others are known by their personal names. The annoying thing is that there are no certain rules, and it is easy to remember them incorrectly.
The most disgusting thing is that some people don't care about the feelings of others at all, and insist on showing that they are different or knowledgeable, so the names they give their children contain many uncommon words, which are difficult to pronounce and even more difficult to write.
It's a headache.
"As for the literary museum established by Li Shimin in the mansion, there is no precedent. Admiral Tiance... is naturally a bit peculiar, but it is just a temporary thing and a flash in the pan, so you don't need to pay attention to it.
If Your Majesty sees someone who has outstanding literary talents and thoughtful etiquette, he can give it to you. You don't need to worry too much. After all, you only honor him and have no involvement in government affairs, and no one will stop him without reason."
Of course, Feng Deyi did not think that the emperor said so much because he wanted to award the honorary title of bachelor of Hongwenguan to someone.
Sure enough, Li Po smiled and said: "I'm not busy with this...but I see that many books collected in the palace are gathering dust, which is a pity.
I intend to build Chang'an Academy in Chang'an and recruit talented people to study there, so that the books in the palace will have a place to go. I will also find some well-educated people to be granted bachelor's degrees in Hongwenguan, so that they can teach in Chang'an Academy.
I heard that the Imperial College has been abandoned for a long time, right?"
Feng Deyi was a little suspicious after hearing this. Chang'an Academy? Teaching knowledge? What's the use? Is it to recruit talented people or to make a name for himself?
I was thinking in my heart, but I was not slow to answer, "The Imperial College is still open, but no one is willing to send their children to waste time in it. In the past few years, someone petitioned to reorganize the Imperial College, and even issued an edict. The number of students is
Three hundred or four hundred, let the courtiers and families send their children of school age to school.
But... Li Shentong was defeated by the Supreme, and the government and the public were shocked. In addition, Xue Ju came to attack from the northwest, so the matter was lost.
In fact, since the end of Daye, few people have paid attention to the Imperial College. The Supreme said that it is okay to be abandoned. After all, the world is full of wars. Who would want to waste time in a place like the Imperial College?
It would be easy for the Supreme One to regroup, but it is not known how many people would be willing to send outstanding members of the family to school. If he was forced by the emperor's orders to send some unworthy bastards to school, the situation would probably be a bit embarrassing, right?"
This is the question and answer, and a little extension. He didn't think about other things, such as what he heard about Chang'an Academy, Hongwen Hall bachelor's degree, etc., so he didn't comment.
The Imperial College is undoubtedly the highest institution of learning in this era, and it can also be said to be an exclusive place for young nobles to make friends. For example, Emperor Wen Yang Jian studied in the Imperial College when he was young and made many friends. When he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor
, it was a great effort.
During the Kaihuang period, Yang Jian also paid great attention to the Imperial Academy in order to promote Confucianism. As a result, the Imperial Academy ushered in a prosperous period. Whether it was the Imperial Academy's Ph.D. or officials, they were either famous Confucians or famous literary figures.
Talented officials.
The disciples they taught became officials one after another, which in turn boosted Guozi's momentum until the great cause reached its peak in the early years.
Yang Guang also liked to be large-scale and comprehensive in his literary affairs, and the Imperial Academy was naturally among them. Taking the fifth year of Daye as an example, the number of Imperial Doctors at that time was more than ten times that before he succeeded to the throne.
Running around as a consultant in the palace was a scene at that time, because no other emperor had ever done this, especially since he set up Imperial College in Luoyang and Chang'an, with more than a thousand students at one time. If he had been given a few more years, the number of Imperial College students would be
It may become widespread.
The most embarrassing thing is that when guys like Yang Xuangan raised the flag of righteousness and turned to the people one after another, some of the bosses were Guozi students. What on earth did they learn in Guozi?
What was Yang Guang's purpose in making it so prosperous? I'm afraid it cannot be escaped from the suspicion of inviting fame to the world... Of course, this is just one of Comrade Yang Guang's mysterious operations, so there is no need to be too surprised.
Feng Deyi didn't know much about the ins and outs and historical evolution of the Imperial College. He only watched some of its rise and fall.
On this issue, Li Po had obviously carefully consulted the classics and asked his officials, "A place like the Imperial College should still be opened. For example, the children sent by those from the northwest can first go to the Imperial High School to learn principles.
Furthermore, if Chang'an Academy is established, the best of them can be admitted to the Imperial College, which can inspire everyone to work hard. This person is not afraid of the bumps on the road, but is afraid that there will be no road ahead...
As Qingzhi said, the war in the world should be over in the next few years, so we should also prepare for a rainy day, don’t you think?"
After hearing this, Feng Deyi was really a little overwhelmed. We have been chatting all day, why don't you take a break? How can I think clearly about such a big proposition in a short time?
"What does the Supreme Being mean..." Asking such a question meant that Feng Deyi had surrendered because he could not grasp the key points.
In fact, there are only a few things that the emperor wants, which is to consolidate the imperial power, leave a great name for future generations, benefit future generations, enjoy the glory and convenience brought by the imperial power, and the process of exercising great power.
In the end, it's nothing more than these... But it should be noted that the pleasures of kings are completely different from those of ordinary people, so be careful not to judge them based on common sense.
Wise kings sometimes show a foolish and cruel side, and dull emperors can also be shrewd and powerful at times.
If Yuwen Chengdu is included, Feng Deyi has served five kings before Li Po. Now he is still alive and well chatting with the sixth king because he knows when to say what and what to say.
What to do when the time comes.
Just like now, since I can't control the emperor's intention, I just have to do the next best thing and help the emperor get things done.
Therefore, those who have served and assisted him like to use him, because as long as you persist, he will carry out your intentions regardless of the consequences.
Li Po gave him a "pleased" look, "There aren't many big things in winter, so just help me handle this matter. First choose a site for Chang'an Academy. Don't look for a place within the imperial city, go to the outer city...
…
There is also the collection of books in the Secretary's Supervisor. You will supervise and sort them out. All that can be taken out will be moved to Chang'an Academy. The Imperial College will be reorganized, and some safe people will be selected for official positions such as offering wine...
This matter is not urgent. I will wait until it is ready in February or March next year. If there is anything you need to add, feel free to tell me... But let’s talk about it first. The matter of recruiting talented people is between you and me.
We all know that if you do it well, it is a great achievement, and if you make a mistake, I will punish you."
Feng Deyi found himself in a lot of trouble in the cold weather, but after thinking about it, there is nothing difficult about this matter. It even makes people feel that using a servant to do it feels like killing a chicken with a knife.
.
But for Feng Deyi, since the emperor said it was a big deal, he had to deal with it as a big deal. No matter what the emperor's final intention was, he had to get these things done, and he had to do it smartly and not ignore the wrong intentions.
"I will naturally do my best to do the things entrusted by the Supreme Being, but... please forgive me for being stupid. There are sons of the country above, and there are masters in every family below. To teach and teach the children at home, how can this Chang'an Academy be established in the world?"
It can be seen from these words that Feng Deyi is not optimistic about the future of Chang'an Academy. Even if it is built under the emperor's order, it will be difficult to allow truly learned people to teach articles. What kind of people will be recruited in the academy?
How many people go in to study is another big problem.
People in the wealthy family probably have very few interests. They all have inherited their family education and do not need to waste time in any academies. However, the princes and others should be more interested, because as long as the emperor pays attention to them, they can make many friends there who will help them.
Friends for future career.
So going to school is a secondary purpose, the main purpose is to make friends.
So the Chang'an Academy built by the Supreme faced people from the common people? Feng Deyi's heart beat powerfully for a few times, and he immediately thought of the imperial examinations of the former Sui Dynasty...
