It is undeniable that many of Wang Anshi's political ideas are ahead of the times, but what is interesting is that his ultimate goal is to strengthen the centralization of power and the centralization of monarchy.
He never jumped out of this concept.
Wang Anshi's educational philosophy was to be pragmatic rather than practical. He believed that the content of the imperial examination was too exaggerated and of little use, so he wanted to set up junior colleges to cultivate professional talents for the court to recruit talents.
This is such an advanced concept, but his purpose is to recruit talents for the court. He did not consider that society also needs talents. If these talents can use their talents in the field, society can also progress.
On the contrary, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, this group of old Qingli ministers all hoped to limit the centralization of power by the monarch.
For example, Fan Zhongyan tried to apply the methods of his ancestors directly to the emperor.
Things are for prevention and music is for control. If you, the emperor, have the final say alone, this is also a violation of the laws of your ancestors.
The scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor ruled the world together, which was actually carried forward by these ministers.
Fan Zhongyan and Wen Yanbo both had a showdown with the emperor and directly stated that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats would rule the world together.
Sima Guang actually followed this route.
What exactly is the struggle between innovation and conservatism?
Is it just a political idea?
And Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others, are they just against Wang Anshi?
Not really.
Because the person they fear most is definitely not Wang Anshi.
Since ancient times, all party struggles have actually revolved around imperial power.
Zhang Fei's graduation certificate system was not limited to the imperial court, but extended education to the whole society.
In fact, there is also the idea of restricting imperial power hidden in it.
The purpose of the imperial examination system is to recruit all the smart people in the world to the emperor's side and become the emperor's people, so that the throne can be secure.
If education becomes the transport of talents to society, it will definitely weaken the imperial power.
It's just that this talent goes to high places and water flows to low places. Being an official is always the most respected thing among the Chinese nation. The influence is very limited. It must be subtle and subtle for a long time before some effects can be seen.
But this concept is obviously very consistent with Sima Guang's governing philosophy.
He also very much advocated the idea that if you are well-educated, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone. In history, after Wang Anshi came to power, he went to study Zizhi Tongjian. In fact, Zhao Xu wanted to keep him. As an emperor, he must still
There was a need to talk about a balance, but Sima Guang firmly refused.
It was only after Empress Dowager Gao came to power that he came back, and he came back again and began to liquidate the New Deal.
The same was true for Wang Anshi. During the reigns of Renzong and Yingzong, he also chose to stay away from the central government.
"wonderful!"
Sima Guang said excitedly: "This diploma is really wonderful. Haha. Zhang San, do you know how to teach? Even those of us who are already teachers don't understand education as deeply as you do."
!What do you think, Zhongtu?"
Xu Zun smiled innocently and nodded.
Of course he was very happy when people praised his son-in-law, but it was not appropriate for him to boast about himself.
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Sima, Bachelor, has received the award. School construction and teaching are two different things and cannot be confused."
Sima Guang said: "But if we talk about the law, I still believe that your talent is enough to handle it. This matter is settled, don't discuss it anymore."
Zhang Fei smiled.
If he hadn't already planned to become an official from Sima Guang's side, he really wouldn't have agreed. In the Song Dynasty, he would have either become a science teacher, one plus one equals two, or he wouldn't have been a science teacher.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
This is incontrovertible!
Zhang Fei doesn't want to bicker with those literati every day.
Now that Sima Guang had planned this path for him, he knew that he would not stay in the Imperial Academy for too long, so he had no choice but to agree.
After Sima Guang left, Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "Zhang San, Bachelor Sima obviously used teaching to draw you to his side."
There was a mixture of joy and sorrow in her tone. She had always hoped that Zhang Fei could become an official and show his talents, but in fact, both Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian supported Wang Anshi, not Sima Guang.
In her heart, Xu Zhiqian hoped that Zhang Fei could assist Wang Anshi in his reform.
"I know."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked Xu Zun: "What do you think, father-in-law?"
Xu Zun stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Actually, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time for you to become an official. And with your city, I can't teach you much. I only hope that you can
Xu Zundao: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government."
Although he supported Wang Anshi in his heart, he never let his power leave Dali Temple or the current Procuratorate. Fan Chunren and Su Shi actually did not do this well at the time.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I'm afraid this will be difficult."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Why is it so difficult?"
Zhang Fei glanced at her and hummed: "If I want to be an official, how can I start from the ninth rank?"
Xu Zunfuxu smiled and nodded, "As a minister, no matter what position you hold, you serve the monarch."
Only then did Xu Zhiqian react.
Zhang Fei was on Zhao Xu's side. Zhao Xu had gone to great lengths to recruit him, and he definitely wasn't asking him to be an assistant coach. How could he not be in his position and not be involved in politics?
Not to mention Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi also had expectations for him.
Zhang Fei originally wanted to rest at home for some days. He was really busy these days. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Fan Zheng and the others could handle these affairs without him.
However, at this critical moment, how could it be possible to give him a chance to breathe?
The next day, Lu Huiqing came to the door.
"I wonder why Colonel Lu came to visit?" Zhang Fei asked.
Lu Huiqing laughed and said, "You might as well take a guess."
Facing this man, Zhang Fei did not dare to be careless. He asked very cautiously: "Is it because of my going to the Law School to give lectures?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "This is just one of them, but it is not mainly why I came here."
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "I wonder what's going on?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Did you know that since the establishment of your movable type workshop, many people have applied for newspaper permission from the DPRK?"
Could it be that something happened over there? Why don’t I know at all? Zhang Fei’s heart skipped a beat, and he nodded and said, “I know that.”
Lu Huiqing said: "I heard that some people in the DPRK want to run a special newspaper to explain their political ideas, and even attack the political ideas of my mentor, so I also run a newspaper for the New Deal. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei felt a little relieved and said, "Lv Xiaokan has really thought it through. I think this is necessary, even more important than the other party."
Lu Huiqing asked: "What do you suggest?"
The use of newspaper propaganda and the previous traditional control of public opinion are really not the same thing. Wang Anshi proved this with several failures.
Zhang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Lyu Xiaokan still has an impression of the license plate and the intrusion into the street."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "This is what happened recently, of course I have an impression."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Has Collator Lu ever read how many newspapers were published at that time?"
Lu Huiqing nodded, "What do you mean, you want to publish those things that are commonplace in the newspapers, so as to hint at the bad policies of the imperial court, and then guide the people to pay attention to the new policies?"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "That's right, but it must be true, representative, and the article must be interesting. Especially for a new newspaper, it must attract the people. This is the key.
If no one is interested in two or three articles in a row, then no one will read them anymore."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "You may need to help me check this. Neither my mentor nor I have a clear understanding of the people's psychology."
He also thought that Zhang Fei’s previous articles were unlikely to become popular, but as a result...
He really liked this.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "No problem."
Lu Huiqing asked again: "But can you publish some articles about your mentor?"
After several previous lessons, he was a little wary of publishing Wang Anshi's article now.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Of course, we must strive to win public opinion, but if we succeed, we should win over scholars. In fact, what I did before was to use public opinion to win over scholars."
"I understand." Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.
Just then, several people in uniforms suddenly arrived.
"How many are there?"
Zhang Fei looked at them curiously.
The leader said: "We are ordered by Academician Sima to send this official document and official uniform to your mansion."
Everyone in Zhang Fei was stunned.
We just talked about this matter yesterday, and he hasn't given an accurate answer yet. Today, he just sent this official uniform.
Damn... Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Is this official uniform made so fast?"
The man immediately said: "The official uniform may not fit well. You should change it yourself immediately."
".!"
Zhang Fei was speechless. Is this the treatment you get from a ninth-grade disciple?
I have to change my official uniform myself.
At this time, Lu Huiqing came over and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. This is really gratifying!"
Zhang Fei glanced at Lu Huiqing, "You must congratulate me on successfully breaking into the enemy's interior." He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Then he ordered Li Si to accept these and give some money to the visitor.
After they left, Zhang Fei said to Lu Huiqing: "To be honest with Lu Xiaokan, Academician Sima just mentioned this to me yesterday. I was still thinking about it, but I never thought that this official document was delivered today, and the imperial court appointed officials.
Is it so rough?"
There is really no sense of ceremony in this official position.
An official document and an official uniform.
Gone.
It just feels so unreal.
Lu Huiqing chuckled: "Of course this is a special case, but it's no wonder. Academician Sima is very worried about you joining the Ordinance Department of the Second Government. As long as you let go, he will definitely speed up and solidify the matter first."
Could it be that Mr. Sima did this to confuse his opponent? Zhang Fei murmured to himself, because Sima Guang knew that he was definitely on his side, and pretended to be worried: "But I don't know much about lecturing.
I really don’t know if this arrangement is reasonable.”
Lu Huiqing frowned slightly and said: "Letting you go to the Imperial Academy for training is indeed unexpected to us. However, with your eloquence, I believe it will not be difficult for you, and it won't take long for Bachelor Sima to transfer you there.
place."
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Don't worry, Xiaokan Lu, I will never let them destroy the new law."
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded: "My mentor and I believe in you very much. As long as you go to the local government as an official, my mentor will find a way to promote you."
Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
Today I will resume the second update. To be honest with you all, after staying at home for so many years, socializing has become increasingly difficult for me. I often sit at the wine table in a daze. After these ten days, I feel really exhausted.
Where did you travel?
If I had to choose, I would rather code at home.
Yesterday I also reflected on it, and it seems that I have two options, either to stay at home further and gradually reduce external social activities, or to go out more and exercise my social skills.
