Zhao Xu left Chongzheng Palace and went straight to Kunning Palace.
Queen Mother Xiang had been waiting for him for a long time. When she saw him coming back, she immediately asked with a smile: "Sixth brother, how do you feel about summoning ministers for the first time?"
At the same time, he also ordered someone to bring tea soup.
Zhao Xu arrived in front of the Queen Mother, said hello, then sat down and said to the Queen Mother: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I met the minister today and I feel pretty good..."
"That is indeed a man who knows how to do things!"
With that said, Zhao Xu picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip of the tea soup.
When you enter the pure white tea soup, after the spiciness of the ginger, the sweetness of the fine tea foam begins to linger.
This is the most accustomed way of drinking tea among scholar-bureaucrats today.
Even tea fighting has been developed as an entertainment with a gambling nature.
Also because of the rise of tea fighting, kilns specifically built for people to fight tea came into being.
He smiled at the Queen Mother and asked, "Really?"
"What did Shen Tiju say to Sixth Brother?"
Zhao Xu replied: "Shen Ti has said that he should respect his father's will and do his best to be loyal to his son..."
He nodded to the Queen Mother: "This is a wise minister!"
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
Minister, I have seen a lot of the Queen Mother these days.
Each one of them speaks more loyally than anyone else, but he really wants them to do something they don't want to do.
That's another story.
"Did Brother Six ask him anything?" Queen Mother Xiang asked tentatively.
Zhao Xu said directly without thinking: "Er and Shen Tiju explained what the father asked him to do..."
"Um?"
Zhao Xu clapped his hands, and Feng Jing immediately sent the clay movable type to you.
"Mother, this is movable type!" Zhao Xu placed the clay movable type in front of the Queen Mother: "Father, the emperor said that this thing can promote our Song Dynasty cultural lineage and carry forward the teachings of the saints!"
"I asked Shen Tiju to work hard to perfect this thing and contribute to the prosperity of our Song Dynasty culture!"
Since Qingli established schools, building schools and promoting education have been the political correctness of the Song Dynasty.
This right is above all else!
The old party is reorganizing and the new party is reestablishing itself!
The most important supporting policy of Wang Anshi's reform was the establishment of schools in Xining!
On the basis of Qingli's establishment of schools, we will strengthen support and support for local education.
Increase the number of school fields for county schools and state schools in various places, and increase funding for poor scholars.
Reform Taixue, use the three-part method to select Taixue students, take an exam every year, and survive the fittest.
In the Imperial College, specialized disciplines of law and arithmetic were specially established.
At the same time, the imperial examination specifically opened up the mathematics and law subjects to recruit talents in criminal law and mathematics.
Of course, the political status and future of Mingfa and Mingsuan Jinshi are far inferior to those of formal Jinshi.
Of course, the most important one is to abolish the selection of scholars through poetry and prose, and instead select scholars based on Wang Anshi's "New Meanings of the Three Classics" as a classic.
This is also the point where the old party is most dissatisfied with Xining's establishment of a school.
Even Sima Guang agreed with everything else, especially the part about increasing support for local education.
The Song Dynasty was an era of scholar-bureaucrats.
An era that pays attention to culture and inheritance.
The inheritance and promotion of cultural heritage has always been the focus of scholar-bureaucrats.
Empress Dowager Xiang looked at the clay type movable type handed over by Zhao Xu. Although she did not understand these things, she thought of woodblock printing and said with fondness: "If this thing can really flourish my Song Dynasty cultural heritage, my son will definitely become Yao and Shun!"
Although she is the Queen Mother, she is also the daughter of a scholar-official family.
I naturally support this kind of thing.
As a result, Zhao Xu ordered Shen Kuo to "create movable type" to promote cultural context and spread like wildfire.
The Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace even smiled from ear to ear after knowing this.
…
Shen Kuo walked out of the palace and took a deep breath.
He touched the bronze talisman he had just received from Neidong Monji, which was engraved with his name and mission.
He couldn't believe it.
On the first day he entered the palace, he was summoned by the young master alone. After the first summons, he was given the bronze talisman to enter the palace.
With this bronze talisman, he will be qualified to enter the palace in the future.
It's just that you can't enter the inner east gate.
This made him feel a little dazed, and at the same time he felt deeply stressed.
Royal grace is always accompanied by poison.
If things are not done well, how high the grace is now will be how heavy the punishment will be in the future!
Therefore, Shen Kuo knew that he must go to the capital as soon as possible, obtain the official official seal, and then take office immediately.
Strive to achieve results as soon as possible!
Yes!
Shen Kuo knew very well that he had to get results quickly!
Although the young master did not set any time limit for him, nor did he ask him to do anything.
But Shen Kuo knew very well how patient the Zhao officials were.
Why was Xining’s reform so fast? Why were there so many problems?
The emperor above was eager for success, and even if the pressure continued, Wang Anshi could not bear it.
If you want to take your time, the emperor won't be able to wait.
Therefore, many laws and regulations were promulgated in a hurry without careful argumentation and discussion.
After Wang Anshi resigned and retired, such things became more prominent.
The defeat of Yongle City is the best evidence!
Recalling the past, Shen Kuo also sighed. He knew that he had to pick one of the three things the young master told him to focus on and achieve results as soon as possible.
"Save!"
Shen Kuo was thinking under the palace gate when a familiar voice sounded in front of him.
Shen Kuo raised his head and saw Zhang Dun's face that made people hate and be happy at the same time.
"Zihou!" Shen Kuo showed a formulaic smile and stepped forward to salute: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Zihou is already in power. The emperor is already in trouble!"
Zhang Dun smiled. In the sixth year of Xining, the Ordnance Supervision was first discussed, and Zhang Dun was appointed to preside over the establishment of the Ordnance Supervision.
Not long after, Shen Kuo became the Ordnance Supervisor and was in charge of all arms manufacturing matters.
The two of them had many interactions during this process and became old acquaintances.
Zhang Dun returned the gift, and then quietly said to Shen Kuo: "Does Cunzhong know?"
"Su Zizhan also recovered like Cunzhong..."
Shen Kuo's expression froze for a moment, and then he faked a smile: "Zizhan has also recovered... What a blessing... What a joy..."
But in my heart, it is inevitable that there will always be some ups and downs.
The Wutai Poetry Case, strictly speaking, was probably initiated by Shen Cunzhong first.
Now, Su Zizhan has resurrected with him.
If we met in court, it would be a little embarrassing, right?
"Senior Li has been imprisoned, does Cunzhong know?" Zhang Dun hit him hard again.
"Senior Li is in jail?"
"Because of Cunzhong!" Zhang Dun smiled.
Shen Kuo suddenly became panicked.
That is the representative figure of Yushitai in Wutai Poetry Case!
But what does it have to do with me?
Zhang Dun said softly: "Emperor Daxing asked the young master to focus on manufacturing the weapons bureau, which has been passed down from generation to generation... Li Fusen was so smart that he dared to interfere with it... The two palaces were furious, claiming that Li Fusen had arbitrarily discussed the affairs of the Tian family's father and son.
Without the courtesy of a minister, I am afraid of having ulterior motives, so I ordered to go to the Yushitai..."
"To this day, it is still under trial!"
Shen Kuo shrank his neck subconsciously.
The Censor's Office will not impose any punishment when trying a case, but the Censors will confiscate and collect all the writings and letters of the person under trial.
Then find fault with it word by word.
In short, no scholar-official could bear to fall into the hands of Yushitai.
I heard that when Su Shi was on trial, he almost thought he was going to die and even wrote a suicide note.
From this we can see what kind of mental pressure the censors at the Yushitai will exert on those under trial.
Now Senior Li is probably facing the same treatment as Su Shi back then.
Zhang Dun observed Shen Kuo's expression and said meaningfully: "This shows how high Emperor Daxing and the young master have high expectations for Cunzhong!"
In order to get Shen Kuo to come back, the young master imprisoned an important minister who was waiting to be restrained.
In order to leave Shen Kuo to his young master, Emperor Daxing forcefully left Shen Kuo in Suizhou and ignored him for three full years to polish off Shen Kuo's edges.
This kind of arrangement and this kind of opportunity are standard equipment for important ministers in history books.
"I wonder if you would like to be rewarded by Cunzhong?" Zhang Dun sent out his invitation: "Come and have a drink in the command hall, one to reminisce about the past, and the other to talk about the future!"
Shen Kuo looked at Zhang Dun warily.
Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't even dare to ask what the young master told me..."
Zhang Dun is self-aware of this.
If the royal family's affairs could be spread, he would definitely know about it.
If it hadn't been spread, then Zhang Dun had ulterior motives by inquiring without permission. Once he was confirmed, it would not be impossible to blame the remote military state or even strip him.
