Qin Huaidao raised his eyebrows and looked solemn.
Most of the students from Jiangnan come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and these two places have been important places for the imperial court since ancient times and are major producers of grain and tax. If there is unrest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it can easily shake the foundation of the country.
The shaking of the country's foundation here does not refer to the change of dynasty, but the turbulence of the current situation. Ambitious people from all over the country will be ready to move, resulting in turmoil like the Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty in normal history.
After the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty no longer had the atmosphere of a great dynasty until it completely declined.
"Jiangnan Road, Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Brother Xue, please continue to investigate. I will transfer Luo Zhang back to assist you. At this time of change in the Han Dynasty, nothing can happen to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Xue Rengui handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, put it down, I understand."
After the two talked, Xue Rengui was about to resign when Qin Huaidao suddenly stopped him and asked a question: "Brother Xue, what do you think about the equality of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants?"
Xue Rengui, who had already turned around, was stunned and froze on the spot.
This is a big deal.
To His Majesty, he has a master-slave relationship. His Majesty regards him as his elder brother. He should say everything and obey everything in order to imitate His Majesty's knowledge and kindness.
But this issue is about equality for everyone.
Although His Majesty has always called him Big Brother, he has never placed his position on an equal footing with Your Majesty. Even if there is no dispute between the powerful and the common people, he has no reason to elevate his position to the same status as Your Majesty.
Come up.
But His Majesty's various actions represent his will.
Xue Rengui was only distracted for a moment, then turned around and bowed to Qin Huaidao: "Your Majesty, your ambition is greater than the sky. Any ideal that your Majesty wants to realize, I will fully support and work hard to complete it. Only in this world, everyone is equal, I have an idea
.”
"Oh?" Qin Huaidao stared at Xue Rengui, not knowing what he was thinking: "Tell me what you think."
Xue Rengui then stood up slowly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, your ideal is very great. Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, many people in the world have mentioned the word equality, but no one has ever been as determined to implement it as your Majesty. I feel relieved for the people in my heart.
The future of the Han Dynasty is relieved. Although this change will definitely encounter many obstacles, I am willing to do my best to support your Majesty."
Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Rengui and became confused.
Listening to his words, he does not oppose his own ideas, so what exactly does he think?
"Brother Xue, I regard you as my dear brother. If you have anything to say, please just say it." Qin Huaidao said seriously.
Xue Rengui then said: "I have no objections to all these things. Only your Majesty and I have friendship. I think that I have your Majesty's wise eyes and know people, and I can get more guidance. I don't want to be on an equal footing with Your Majesty, and I would rather respect Your Majesty."
"
Qin Huaidao said nothing.
Xue Rengui's words may not only represent himself, but also represent the thoughts of the younger generation who have followed him along the way. They have seen Qin Huaidao's uncanny skills and extraordinary strategic military strategies. How can they think that they can really be on an equal footing with Qin Huaidao?
?
After receiving Xue Rengui's attitude, Qin Huaidao fell into deep thought.
Equality for all is naturally a great ideal, but even in many countries more than a thousand years later, complete and absolute equality is still difficult to achieve, and wars over money and power are still being staged in different places.
The powerful people in various places are temporarily suppressed by him with the power of founding the country. The implementation of such a policy is expected to arouse a lot of anti-Israel comments in local areas. A purely one-size-fits-all policy will only bring about greater backlash.
The questions he asked in the imperial examination questions were precisely because he wanted to use the hands of literati from all over the world to discuss this issue together.
If you want to completely achieve your goals, conventional means will no longer work.
After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and found that Xue Rengui was still waiting in the Ganlu Hall. He said: "Brother Xue, you have worked hard recently. Go back and rest early."
"promise."
After sending Xue Rengui away, Qin Huaidao decided to launch an ideological offensive.
If you want to change the thinking and structure of the entire Han Dynasty, as well as the understanding of equality and freedom, you can only do it by changing your thinking. If everyone pursues freedom and equality, how can the goal of equality in the world not be achieved?
I saw Qin Huaidao writing twelve big characters on the scroll.
Emphasis on education, enlightening the people's intelligence, running books and newspapers, and spreading the word widely.
It’s time to cleanse the minds of the Han people.
Let’s start with Chang’an.
A few days later, when the imperial examination was over, Chu Suiliang came to look for Qin Huaidao with the examination papers of various subjects. According to the imperial examination system, the top three will be awarded in the examination, and the first will be awarded "Jinshi". Only three will be taken, the first is the champion, and the second is
The second one is ranked second, the third one is "Tianhua", the second one is "born as a Jinshi", and he is given a number of names, the first one is generally called Chuanlu, and the third one is "born as a Jinshi", and he is given a number of names.
To be awarded the title of Jinshi, your Majesty must personally grant it.
Chu Suiliang reported the first-class nominations to Qin Huaidao, who personally selected them. As expected, the list was concentrated among a few famous students.
Guo Zhengyi, Lai Ji, Xue Yuanchao, Linghu Defen, Su Baozhen, and Li Yi were all met by Qin Huaidao in the inn debate. The remaining few came from different places, such as Chen Yuanqing, He Jinfang, He Zhi, etc.
, his talent level is not lower than that of the previous few people, and he should be called a model of Han scholars.
Qin Huaidao did not take a closer look at the essays and scriptures. The level of all the essays in one subject was relatively close, so there was no way to compare. As for the scriptures, in his opinion, they were all memorized by rote. There was nothing special about the difference of a few points.
The most critical question is how to achieve equality for everyone.
"If you want to achieve equality for everyone, you must eliminate inequality. This Su Baozhen is worthy of being from Longyou Dao. He is ready to sweep everything away. He is indeed a reckless man. Although he is cruel, there is a certain reason." Qin Huaidao put down Su Baozhen.
After scrolling, he shook his head, and suddenly the figure of a young man in white flashed in his mind.
The young man in white is high-spirited.
He picked out Xue Yuanchao's test paper and saw that his sentence was: "All men are created equal."
Qin Huaidao put his hands on his hands and laughed. Although the young man in white did not give any method, the argument that all people are born equal and the reason why inequality occurs is because of human desires deeply touched his heart.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an enlightened young man in this era. If there were such remarks in the old history, it would be much more interesting." He knew that he came to the Tang Dynasty and created something for the Tang Dynasty.
There have been many changes, and new ideas will surely sprout among the students.
New ideas?
That's right, if the newspaper is founded by then, let's name it New Thought.
The great wheel of the times is driving progress. Human beings cannot always stand still. All of Qin Huaidao's actions have invisibly accelerated this process and change.
Since there are sprouts of new ideas, maybe the concept of equality for all can really be realized in this era.
