Cai Mao, Xu Han, and He Li all agreed.

He Li had made a mistake before and was promoted again as a servant. He went to Dongfu to be responsible for sealing.

To put it mildly, he is a tool man; to put it nicely, he is used by Zhao Ning to balance the old and new factions.

Xu Han is a person with a straighter temper and limited abilities, but he has always been known for his public spirit and will never engage in party disputes.

This logic is just like Su Shi's inability to play party politics.

There is no need to mention Cai Mao, the leader of the conservatives.

The three governors with different positions all agreed.

The problem behind this is interesting.

For a ruler known for his public spirit to agree to appoint Minister of Rites, it shows that, at least in public, Wang Shoude is approved by many people and recommended by most people.

This was also the reason why Zhao Ding did not agree.

Zhao Ding disagreed. He obviously believed that the recent momentum of the conservatives was too great and hindered the implementation of the New Learning. If Wang Shoude was transferred to the capital and placed in the most important Ministry of Rites of the New Learning as a minister, this would undoubtedly be a disservice to the New Learning. A huge obstacle to the implementation of learning.

And new learning is related to the talent supply of the New Deal, and is related to the life and death of the New Deal.

The biggest shortcoming of Wang Anshi's reform at that time was the extreme shortage of new legal talents, which allowed a large number of speculators to occupy the main positions of the reform, making it almost difficult to implement the later reforms.

Therefore, from the perspective of a ruler like Zhao Ding, Xinxue is a place for talent reserve.

When new learning is successful, new politics will be successful.

This is the deep-seated logic behind the respective stances of the political leaders.

In Zhao Ning's view, the forces behind this have indeed quietly formed a huge network of public opinion, which is quietly affecting the center of the court.

Here, the impact of the prince's participation in politics cannot be underestimated.

Zhao Ning thought to himself that it seemed that the influence of the prince's participation in politics was beyond his imagination.

Civil servants in the Song Dynasty still generally adhered to Confucian benevolence and righteousness.

This is the first and biggest resistance that the new school encounters when it is launched. The previous fights between the Imperial College and Tokyo University students were just minor frictions.

As the scope of the New Deal expanded, the conflicts within the Song Dynasty would become more intense.

There are several recommended criteria for measuring officials in the Song Dynasty. The first is personal morality, the second is political performance, and the third is own ability.

Morality can be faked and political achievements can be demonstrated. As for ability, it takes a long time to test it out.

Zhao Ning asked calmly: "Where's Mo Chou? What did he say?"

"Mo Shangshu has been feeling unwell recently and is recuperating at home."

recuperate?

He doesn't want to offend the Luo Jing scholars, right?

Seeing the slight silence from Zhao Guan's family, Li Chunyou said: "Wang Shoude has a good reputation in Luojing and has achieved political achievements. Many people recommended him to return to Beijing."

"I remember correctly, it was he who recommended the prince to participate in politics?"

"It's him."

"Since the three prime ministers have agreed, then let's agree."

Li Chunyou suddenly felt happy, but he said calmly: "Yes, I will tell you. I will leave."

Looking at Li Chunyou's back, Gao Qiu felt cold. He had just sued Wang Shoude, and Wang Shoude should have been detained immediately. However, the Zhao family agreed to Li Chunyou's proposal and promoted him to Minister of Rites.

What is the Zhao Guan family doing?

Want to fish?

Gao Qiu secretly glanced at Zhao Guan's house, who was sitting there with a calm expression, and felt that the emperor's heart was unfathomable.

"Is Wang Shoude still arrested, officials?" Gao Qiu asked tentatively.

It was obvious that he was not going to be arrested. He would be promoted to the Ministry of Rites and become a minister. However, Gao Qiu's question was not about arresting him or not, but he wanted to insinuate the deeper intentions of Zhao Guan's family.

"First bring the witnesses to Tokyo for interrogation, and then verify the relationship between Hu Weizhi and Wang Shoude's daughter. If you want to investigate one of my ministers in the Ministry of Rites, you have to ask multiple sources for verification, right?"

Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty is right, I will send someone to verify it right now."

"return."

"What other orders does your Majesty have?"

"Let me ask you, are the students at Songyang Academy very keen on listening to Yan Shenggong's lectures?"

"No, I have inquired about it. Some students actually want to study at Luo Jing University."

"Why?"

Gao Qiu said: "Because as long as you pass the exam, you will have the opportunity to become an official after passing the exam. This is much easier than the imperial examination. The imperial court has now changed the Enyin system to a new academic examination, and many original Enyin places have become vacant."

"Are there many Confucian scholars who want to study at Luo Jing University?"

"There should be quite a few."

"Go down."

"I excuse myself."

New learning is the general trend. As Gao Qiu said, many Confucian students are actually willing to go to Luo Jing University or Tokyo University.

Confucianism is not a monolith, and human brains are not lumps of wood.

Opponents are either stubborn or unyielding, or those whose interests have been harmed.

Then there was the move to convert the enyin system into a new school. The imperial court issued a decree. From now on, the children of officials' families would not be admitted to the official position. They had to go to university to study and take exams. After passing the exam, they would be organized according to the new school system.

Just this move has offended the interests of countless people. There are many officials and families in Luojing, and they all have their quota of favors.

They naturally regarded the new learning as a scourge.

Universities in the 21st century are the product of industrialization and train standard talents for industrialization.

Zhao Ning's new study was to cultivate talents for the Song Dynasty's New Deal, agriculture, handicrafts, manufacturing, military industry, commerce, finance, navigation, etc.

These industries now require a large number of talents, and the imperial examination is far from enough. There are many cases of people getting jobs after graduating from the University of Tokyo.

This is the general trend.

Those Confucian scholars are just the resistance of the conservative group.

Whether something can be accomplished or not, the most important thing is to follow the trend.

Those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish.

Wang Shoude's new appointment will soon arrive in Luoyang.

At the end of August, Wang Shoude was transferred to the capital and directly appointed Minister of Rites.

The day after Wang Shoude arrived in Tokyo, there was an early morning court meeting.

In the morning meeting, Zhao Ning also praised Wang Shoude in public, praising him as a virtuous and loyal minister.

When Zhao Guan's family praised Wang Shoude, Gao Qiuchu's soles felt cold: It's not a good thing to be praised by an official in public!

On the evening of August 29, Wang Shoude paid a visit to Cai Mao. Li Chunyou, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Shao Pu, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, were both there.

"Xiangong Cai, this is the pearl I asked someone to get from the Western Regions. It is said to be a priceless treasure of the Great Food Country. It is rare in the world and is disrespectful."

There is a pearl lying in this box, which is full of brilliance.

Cai Mao smiled and said, "Bo Lai is so polite."

The people below came over and put the pearls away properly.

Wang Shoude said: "This time I would like to thank Mr. Cai, Mr. Li for his help, and Mr. Shao for his introduction."

"It's all because of the virtuous nature of the prince. He also wrote a letter to recommend the prince to participate in politics and win the respect of the world." Li Chunyou said, "By the way, His Royal Highness the prince asked me to express my gratitude to you. It is not convenient for him to leave the palace."

"Your Highness is serious. Evil is rampant in the court today. We, reading the books of sages, should correct the way!"
