Eggs were simmering on the charcoal basin. Liu Bowen rocked slightly on the rocking chair and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
This Monk Daoyan is really amazing, he can clearly see the thoughts of Lao Liu and his son...
His dim old eyes narrowed slightly, and the fat monk stuffing eggs in front of him changed into the huge old monk who was here munching on spicy chicken half a month ago.
"A big troll who I respect very much once said, 'Chinese people always like to be harmonious and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and a window must be opened here, no one will allow it. But
If you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and open the windows."
"This is a bit interesting..." Liu Bowen couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"There are not many such insightful public officials. This person often has a mouth but not a brain. Is that what Wei Zheng said?"
"Absolutely." Lao Liu said vaguely: "After I told my father this, he also thought it made sense and decided to declare that he wanted to demolish the entire house... And the key is that he is really capable of doing this.
come out."
"That's right." Liu Bowen smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's been thirteen years since Hongwu. Who still doesn't know your father's temper?"
As he said this, he asked Lao Liu: "So, you guys are going to announce the reform of the official system, education reform and imperial examination reform?"
"Yes." Lao Liu nodded and said, "But I have to open these three windows, otherwise the room will not be bright enough."
"Yeah." Liu Bowen also nodded and said: "Education reform must be coordinated with the reform of the imperial examination, and the reform of the imperial examination needs to be coordinated with the reform of the official system..."
"Yes. Only if graduates of the Six Studies and One Hall can pass the Jinshi examination and are recruited by various ministries and yamen in different subjects, will there be people willing to study majors other than Confucian classics.
"Only when all majors have bright prospects can Guozi University truly become bigger and stronger and put an end to the situation of 'exclusively respecting Confucianism'!" Lao Liu waved the drumstick in his hand, his voice was steady and his eyes were firm.
"It's really..." Liu Bowen nodded, and he didn't need Lao Liu to explain the true meaning to him.
Because these three major reforms were soaked with his hard work. It can be said that "the spring silkworms will not be exhausted until they die, and the wax torches will become ashes and tears will dry up." For example, the official reform of "the merger of officials and local staff" was his strong advocate.
As for the reason, it is a big article to expand on, and I will leave it to the details in the future. I really can’t add another explanation in the middle of the narrative...
"But if you open these three windows, it's no different from demolishing the house, right?" Liu Bowen said helplessly. According to his idea, this is a thousand-year plan, and he should plan it slowly and cover thousands of miles, but it is obviously not Lao Zhu and his son.
style of.
"It's okay, I have prepared more exciting gifts for them -" Lao Liu said proudly: "Go to Kong Sheng!"
"Going to Kong Sheng?"
"Yes." Lao Liu pulled another chicken leg and nodded heavily: "There is no trace of Saint Kong on the entire campus of Guozi University, and there is no Confucian Temple built nearby."
"You..." Liu Bowen almost sprayed a mouthful of tea in his face and said, "Your hands are too damaged. You are trying to dig up their ancestral graves!"
"Don't they keep saying, 'The principles are often taught by famous names, and the teachings are taught by names'?" Lao Liu said with a smile, "Are they also saying, 'A gentleman is known for his righteousness, and a villain is known for his benefit'? Let's see this time, what are they doing?
Do you want fame or profit?"

Pang Pang Laoliu turned back into a fat monk.
Daoyan continued to peel the eggs and said with a smile:
"Ordinarily, stopping those three reforms is the top priority. As long as we stop them, we can stop the challenge to the status of Confucianism. At that time, the royal family will also respectfully invite the Confucian Temple back.
"But the core of Confucianism is 'correcting the name', so it is also called Mingjiao. Now that the King of Chu has moved their leader's tablet out of Taixue, they have no choice but to protect Confucius' name first. Otherwise, the name will be incorrect.
If you don't obey what you say, nothing will happen. You can't even convince yourself, let alone convince others."
"Hmm." Liu Bowen nodded, and his words were exactly the same as what Lao Liu said. "Then, how many of the three reforms do you think will be rejected?"
"In fact, I can't refute any of them." Dao Yan smiled decisively:
"The emperor and the king of Chu have a very good plan. First of all, they ask for a high price and then pay back the money. Of the four things, Confucianism has to give in to at least one thing, right? It must be the education reform that has already begun."
"As for the decree officially announced by the imperial court, it is impossible to turn around and issue an order to abolish it. At most, it will be postponed and postponed, and finally nothing will be done. The reform of the official system will be a matter of three years, and the reform of the imperial examination will also have to wait for three years. The first batch of college students will
It will only be implemented after graduation. So whether it is suspended or not, it has no impact at all. As long as the emperor wants to do it, he can do it in three years..."
"So the poor monk predicts that in the end, 80% will be for each of them to take a step back. Guozi University will welcome the Confucius Temple again, and Shilin will accept the educational reform of six studies and one hall. As for the reform of the imperial examination and official positions, we will put it on hold for now and discuss it later."
After a while, he said in a deep voice:
"Of course, this is a situation where Confucian scholars from both the government and the public work together and devote themselves to protecting the religion. If they show off, I'm afraid they won't be able to win back any of them."
"Yeah." Liu Bowen nodded and said, "I have to admit that the monk has two brushes."
"Hehe..." Dao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of that? It's just nonsense if you don't appreciate the talent. It's better to eat eggs..."
Then he started eating the fourteenth egg again...
"..." Old Liu was aroused by his appearance as an evil spirit reincarnated. As long as the eggs are not boiled in urine, today is an exception. Liu Bowen swallowed and said: "Don't do this, in the future
How smart is the monk, but you don’t know what I asked you to do?”
"What are you doing?" Dao Yan said vaguely, "I really don't know."
"Forget it then." Seeing him taking Qiao, Old Liu said lightly: "Please come back."
"Hey, hey, don't, don't," Dao Yan quickly swallowed the egg yolk, beat his chest, and said with a smile on his face: "You're kidding, I know there must be good things, why don't you come here?"
"How do you know there's something good going on?" Liu Ji glanced at him.
"I didn't do anything bad." Dao Yan said calmly.
"Isn't it a bad thing to teach a wise king?" Liu Bowen sneered.
"It's been so many years, and Mr. Xen doesn't look like someone who wants to settle old scores." Dao Yan said with a smile, "Besides, even if the incident comes to light, it will be the government that takes the person, not Mr. Xen who is looking for me."
"Haha..." Liu Bowen smiled and said, "I'm not looking for you."
"Is it...King of Chu?" Dao Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Over the years, he has always wanted to get close to the person he thought was the best person to disrupt the world - "Gone with the Wind" for short, but unfortunately Liu Bowen always stopped him.
no chance.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came inadvertently.
"Yes." Liu Bowen nodded and said calmly: "His Royal Highness asked me to talk to you first and ask if you are willing to develop abroad. If you are not willing, there is no need to see him..."
"Uh, go abroad for development?" Dao Yan was stunned, this was something he really didn't expect.
