Chapter 3056 Under the three provinces, there have always been only six
Cheng Sanlang stared blankly at Mr. Ma Zhou and Ma Xiang, who had a strange expression and his eyelids were twitching, but he still continued to chatter.
Turning out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Prime Minister of Fang who had just stepped aside with his own son. The old man's expression was obviously a bit strange, after he saw the look he was giving him.
He was actually stroking his beard and nodding towards him, and the narrow smile on his face clearly seemed to be saying that I had known this before and wouldn't have told you.
As for His Royal Highness Prince Li Chengqian, when he saw the look from Brother Chu Bi, he could only put on an innocent expression and spread his hands.
That means it’s not that I’m unreliable, but that I don’t even know that such a thing exists.
Cheng Sanlang smacked his mouth in pain. His Majesty must know that the East Palace is a barrier. If he told the prince, the prince would most likely stab him.
Forget it, this is a good thing anyway. The three sons and three daughters all received awards and began to eat official meals.
However, the eldest daughter who has been born is the county prince, and the two unborn daughters are the township prince.
That is to say, my father-in-law has advanced the positions of his two sons and two daughters to me in advance. This is a wish for me to continue to work hard and strive for the huge increase in the demographic dividend of Datang...
When General Cheng heard this news, he just laughed happily.
Not only did he not feel like he was being teased like his own son, but he still looked like an old man, as if the fun was yet to come.
Ma Zhou pursed his dry lips, glanced at Cheng Sanlang again, handed the imperial edict to the waiting eunuch, and then copied another imperial edict.
Seeing that Cheng Sanlang had already prostrated himself, he quickly said, "Don't be anxious, little Cheng Taibao, there's more."
"..."
Cheng Sanlang had no choice but to stand up again, continuing to remain in a submissive manner, lowering his head and listening quietly.
This imperial edict caught Cheng Sanlang and praised him again. However, Cheng Sanlang's cultural level was not high.
Well... I can't say that. I can only say that Cheng Sanlang's classical Chinese skills were not high, and he simply couldn't understand the parallel style format that the Imperial Edicts of the Tang Dynasty liked to use.
Almost all of them are four words, what is Zizhengshu, Sihongdejiao, Guangzhenhagui...
Or perhaps it was to set up a large number of prefectures to recruit apprentices, to look for talents and talents, and to reward and promote them.
Cheng Sanlang was speechless, with a confused look on his face, and Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty raised his hands to cover his face, not daring to look at the cute expression of his beloved son-in-law.
The main reason is that I am afraid that if I laugh out loud at an inappropriate time, the following serious and serious national strategy will be regarded as a joke.
At this moment, Cheng Sanlang's heroic biological father, Cheng Yaojin, also looked confused, but unlike Cheng Sanlang, he just stood there stupidly.
With a roll of his eyes, he pulled Li Daozong, who had a strange expression on his face and was muttering quietly to Master Li, towards him.
"Come on, come on, brother Daozong, what are these things that boy Ma Zhou is muttering about?
Lao Cheng, I listened for a long time but still couldn’t figure out what that kid was talking about?"
Li Daozong almost curled up his lips and mocked the old Cheng family head, the heirloom of poetry and calligraphy, for his lack of learning and skill.
But seeing the old man's big copper-bell eyes that could detect every detail, and feeling the strong approach from Cheng's big hand, he had no choice but to explain.
"...For example, the idea of "Guang Xiu Tie" means to develop local official schools, and "Nan Qiu Jun Yi" probably means to solicit talents from all aspects..."
Although General Cheng's classical Chinese skills are inferior to those of his own son, he is still smart and reacted instantly. Hehehe.
"I see. It seems that Your Majesty still understands the reason why my third son founded Cheng University."
"Hey, that's not right...there's something wrong."
Li Daozong glanced at Cheng Yaojin with a strange expression. What could be wrong with this?
It is a pity that although Li Daozong was also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, he was very strategic and had a high level of classical Chinese.
But when it comes to emotional intelligence and brains, to be honest, compared to the most shameless and experienced bully in the Tang Dynasty, they are definitely not on the same level.
Cheng Yaojin, who was obsessed with everything, narrowed his eyes and continued to listen with his ears closed.
Finally, after Ma Zhou finished reciting all the stilted classical Chinese passages, he finally got to the point.
"I was awarded the title of Minister of Education, and wrote to Cheng Chubi to prepare for the establishment of the Ministry of Education. I highly recommend this."
"What?!"
"What the hell?!"
"Ministry of Education, why does Datang have such an extra department? There have always been only six departments among the three provinces..."
"Yes, yes, there is such an additional department, this, this is simply unprecedented."
All the officials of the Tang Dynasty were in an uproar, especially the shocked faces that fell into Li Shimin's eyes, causing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to show an expression just as I expected.
Cheng Sanlang, who was still dull at first, suddenly lit up and became filled with joy. Oh my God! He is truly a considerate father-in-law.
Even when he plays with tricks, he is also very arrogant and does not take the usual path.
Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, and several giants from the three provinces all exchanged helpless looks in a tacit understanding.
Yes, they are all insiders and forced conspirators.
#####
Accompanied by the eunuch's high-pitched and shrill voice, the chaotic noise in the court finally calmed down.
At this time, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, who had been silent all this time, slowly glanced at the civil and military officials in the palace.
"My dear friends, do you have any objections to the newly established Ministry of Education?"
"Your Majesty, I object!"
The first person to pop up was Su Liangsi, the sacrificial wine minister of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty. This big boss of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty had a very good command of classical Chinese.
The meaning of the imperial edict just now is very obvious. It is clearly that His Majesty is planning to set up a Ministry of Education to take charge of the official schools established in the three provinces that the Tang Dynasty has established.
Although in the past, there were not many official schools in the Tang Dynasty, it could even be said that they were all concentrated in the imperial capital, which was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College.
Now His Majesty has set up a Ministry of Education to manage those provincial official schools. Isn't this bitch trying to compete with himself for classes and power?
It was surprising that Su Liangsi was so willing, so he naturally had to stand up and express his opposition immediately.
Facing Su Liangsi's righteous speech, many of the officials in the palace nodded frequently, deeply appreciating it.
In particular, those civil servants who had a strong literary foundation naturally looked down upon the Cheng family, who were notorious among civil servants.
However, he, Su Liangsi, is not stupid either, so he cannot directly use his words to attack the notorious Cheng family.
After all, if you mess with the Cheng family, you won't be able to survive the year. This is something that the broad masses of the people know firsthand.
