On the morning of the second day, Muchuan still got up early and entered the palace!
Li Shimin has a habit of going to court on time no matter how tired he is the night before!
This habit impressed all the civil and military officials, and they did not dare to be late!
Today's court meeting mainly discusses the northwest battlefield.
Li Shimin asked: "How is the northwest battlefield?
Is there any news from Tuyuhun?"
Li Zhi immediately stepped forward and said: "To inform my father, last night, one of the forward troops of Tuyuhun Palace was destroyed by our army. They have completely failed.
But the Tuyuhun people have already fled to the Mobei grassland!"
"okay!"
Li Shimin said happily, "Those barbarians have finally been eliminated.
Over the years, they have repeatedly harassed our borders with the Tang Dynasty, burning, killing, looting, and being cruel and cruel.
This battle has been won, and our Tang Dynasty is so powerful that we are unmatched!"
Li Shimin is obviously very satisfied with this battle!
"Your Majesty, although the Tuyuhun people have retreated, the three thousand cavalry led by Prince Xiping are still chasing them.
They ran to Baitan City, which was hundreds of miles away from the nearest county seat in Datang.
I guess they won’t last long, they will definitely die.”
Queen Changsun said.
Li Shimin said: "With the death of Tuyuhun, our frontier fortress of the Tang Dynasty has lost one threat."
The Tang Empire of this era did not lack cavalry.
However, the situation in the northwest is special and the Tang Dynasty does not have enough war horses.
But now, these problems have been solved.
The ministers discussed it for a long time before this topic came to an end.
The next step is to prepare for the establishment of a super school.
Muchuan was not the only one planning this matter.
A large number of officials were involved, including Li Shimin, who also sent many staff to help with the inspection.
This thing is not easy, but it is not difficult either.
The first is the selection of personnel.
The population of the Tang Dynasty is not small, and it is full of talents. There is no need to worry about insufficient manpower when selecting talents.
Next is the preparation of school buildings and classroom facilities.
"My dear friends, please give me your advice and suggestions. Where would it be better to build this university in Chang'an City?
"Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have diminished.
Li Gang immediately said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this academy should be established near Tai Chi Palace."
Li Shimin said: "Why?"
Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, you see, this school is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people studying.
These people are knowledgeable and have quite advanced knowledge.
And if it is built in Chang'an, it will be conducive to the spread of our Tang Dynasty culture and reach an unprecedented prosperous age!"
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I think it should be established in Weinan, where the rivers converge.
And there are many mountains there, so the environment is excellent and suitable for studying.”
Muchuan remained silent.
Geographical location is not important to him, he has one more thing to bring up.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that this new school established by Datang does not need to separate all students.
The students admitted by each college are not limited to men and women.
Both men and women can enroll."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said: "That's wrong. The separation of men and women is a common social code of ethics. How can we confuse it?"
"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has outstanding people, high-spirited men, and courage that no man can match.
The girls of my Tang Dynasty are also very outstanding and can be called heroines.
If that's the case, why can't they be allowed to become senior sisters in the graduate school?"
Muchuan continued, "Moreover, now is the golden age, and the quality of female students is even more excellent. If there is no distinction between men and women, wouldn't it mean that they are buried?"
This is a proposal.
But Li Shimin thought about it carefully and felt that this proposal was a good one.
However, Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and expressed his strong opposition.
"Your Majesty, men and women cannot be intimate with each other! This is a Confucian principle.
If women are allowed to enter school, I'm afraid it will be criticized by scholars all over the world."
Muchuan snorted coldly and said: "Master Xu, what you said is wrong. The Tang Dynasty is a big country, how can we be restricted by this? We must show the courage and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise how can we inspire the people of the world?"
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Muchuan continued: "As for the disadvantages of girls enrolling in school, it's just a group of women and children.
What kind of waves can they make?
Your Majesty, if you are worried about damaging the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to take responsibility.
I just want to allow women to enter school so that women all over the world can engage in learning knowledge and no longer work like the farmers of the Tang Dynasty."
"Mu Chuan, I know you are here for the educational development of Datang!"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "Let's build a university first.
How you set it up is entirely your responsibility.
As for the enrollment of girls, I agree that the school in Muchuan will conduct pilot teaching."
Li Shimin had great trust in Muchuan.
After all, this kid once led the Northeastern Frontier Army to victory over Goguryeo, and even saved his life.
Moreover, Li Shimin also wanted to take this opportunity to show the world that women can still be officials and can still govern the country.
…
"Your Majesty agrees?"
Wei Zheng said with some surprise.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Since ancient times, women have not been able to take the imperial examination.
I want to see if my Tang Dynasty woman can be an official!"
Wei Zheng said with some worry: "Your Majesty, if this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid..."
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Don't worry, I believe in Muchuan! This kid is a weirdo, others can't, but he will definitely be fine."
Wei Zheng nodded and stopped admonishing.
In the imperial court, Wei Zheng was not the only one who felt something was wrong.
For example, Yang Zhao, the young minister of Dali Temple, jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, if the learning facilities of the university are built near Chang'an City, I am afraid that it will arouse the covetousness of foreigners.
If an enemy infiltrates the university, our Tang Dynasty will be in danger."
Li Shimin said: "Yang Qing, you don't have to worry.
In the future, the area around the university will be heavily guarded. Who dares to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
I will not let the enemy take advantage of me!"
Yang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, take preventive measures before they happen."
Cheng Yaojin stood up and scolded: "Yang Shaoqing, do you also want to question His Majesty's decision?"
"I don't dare!"
Yang Zhao bowed and said.
Cheng Yaojin said: "Since you don't dare, just shut up."
Yang Zhao could only lower his eyebrows and look down.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the key is to find where this new school will be built in the future."
Li Shimin said: "Mu Chuan, tell me where you plan to build this university in the future?"
Muchuan stood in the queue of civil servants, waiting for Li Shimin to ask this question.
Because he had no intention of building his graduate school in Chang'an!
Muchuan plans to build a graduate school in Youzhou!
Because Youzhou is the closest to the Western Turks, and according to the system tasks, Youzhou is its future base and one of the cores of the Tang Empire!
