"Dr. Cai, in your opinion, what should I do?" The little fat man suddenly looked at Cai Yong in the distance. Cai Yong had been appointed as a doctor and a doctor of classics. Cai Yong did not expect that the emperor would suddenly ask him a question. He thought deeply. After a moment, he said: "Your Majesty may build a large Jiantai College and recruit more students." He just said an innocuous remark and said nothing more.
The little fat man frowned and asked: "I intend to set up a sect school outside the Taiyuan Academy to recruit poor people from poor families. I will use the imperial money to fund their education and provide them with more food and clothing. What do you think?"
When the students heard this, they also nodded secretly. If so, wouldn't there be more talented people like me who are dedicated to the country?
Cai Yong looked at the emperor with some doubts. Since the establishment of Taiyuan University, the emperor has been constantly suppressing Taiyuan students. At the beginning, Taiyuan University had four colleges in the East, North, South and South. Then its wise men were admitted to Taiyuan University. After several generations of emperors’ disdainful efforts, only the Imperial College, with less than a thousand people, was left alone. Why did this emperor want to revitalize the Imperial College?
Doesn't he know the nature of these imperial students?
These are the guys who like to confront the superiors and gather in front of Weiyang Palace to ask for advice whenever they disagree.
Emperor Xiaoheng was almost angered to death by these people. If you suppressed them severely, it would cause criticism in the world. If you ignored them, they would cause trouble everywhere.
However, after all, he was offering wine to the Imperial College. He could not warn the emperor when he asked him this. He nodded and said, "The emperor's words are very kind."
"Good, since Dr. Cai has this suggestion, I will inform Sangong to open up the world to learn, and we must gather the talented people from all over the world to rule the world!"
These imperial students were very enthusiastic about such empty words. After hearing the emperor's words, they were so excited that they couldn't speak, and shouted that the sage is wise!
Only Cai Yong frowned slightly, why did he feel something was wrong?
The little fat man stayed in the Imperial College all day. At Haishi, he just said goodbye to them. The Tai students followed Huang Gai all the way and sent him outside the Weiyang Palace. The soldiers of the Southern Army stayed there for a day and let the little fat man They were extremely happy and talked one by one. The soldiers of the Southern Army stood proudly and looked happy, but in their hearts they were thinking about how they would brag to their colleagues about the emperor's personal praise of them when they went back later.
Back in the palace, the little fat man was a little tired. Although he had studied classics with He Xiu for a period of time, he was still very different from those imperial students. Today, when talking about classics with those imperial students, he nodded in agreement throughout the process. Although He Xiu Xiu once said that a king does not need to treat menstruation, but a person who treats menstruation can do it, but the little fat man still decided to spend some time to take a look.
The next day, the little fat man held a court meeting, and all the ministers arrived.
Empress Dowager Dou was unable to attend the court due to illness, and although the little fat man was young, he was already qualified to hold court meetings alone. Even the court officials never thought that the little fat man would take power so quickly, so they could only Bowing his head and obeying his orders, the little fat man looked at them with a smile, then suddenly looked at Cai Yong and said, "Do the ministers have any report?"
Generally speaking, no matter what the emperor wants to do, he doesn't say it himself. He either consults with the ministers in advance, or instructs his confidants to propose it during the court meeting. Cai Yong was stunned. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he also knew According to this rule, if he stood up and spoke, it would mean that he was already a confidant of the emperor and would definitely be hostile to Yang Ci and others.
But if he didn't get up, the head of the King of Goguryeo would still be hanging on the gate of Luoyang City.
Cai Yong stood up helplessly, and walked quickly to the center of the hall under the surprised eyes of everyone, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to say!"
"Cai Jun, please speak."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness..." Cai Yong thought for a while and continued: "The Taiyuan College originally had four courtyards, east, west, north and south, but the four courtyards have been abandoned for a long time. The number of students is less than a thousand. In addition,
, There are many talented people in the wild, and there are scholars who are unable to study because of their family background and financial resources, which makes people sigh. However, since the emperor came to the throne, he has attached great importance to the study of classics and loved the scholars. How can the scholars be immoral? "
"I hope Your Majesty will be kind to you and set up another school outside the Taiyuan Academy to recruit scholars from all over the world who are in need of help. The government will help you with food and clothing..."
The little fat man nodded, looking thoughtful, and said, "What Mr. Cai said is absolutely true. Do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Ping came out, bowed his hands to the little fat man and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. He has pardoned many taxes and exempted from hard labor, which has left the national treasury empty. I am afraid it will not be enough to support these scholars.
!", the little fat man nodded and said: "This money can be allocated from my imperial treasury." Hearing this, Yuan Ping felt a little confused. Why does he always feel that your private money is more than the national treasury?
many?
After hearing what the emperor said, he did not object anymore and returned to his seat with a frown.
At this time, Xun Jian stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, there are enough officials at this time. If we recruit students widely, wouldn't it make the court bloated, increase the burden on the people, and I don't know how many scholars are unable to serve. Therefore, I hope your Majesty will be cautious about this matter."
!" Party members were a little surprised. Why were Yuan Ping and Xun Jian, who were usually the most taciturn, so anxious to object?
Before the little fat man could speak, Dahonglu Cao Song said with a smile: "What Mr. Xun said is wrong. How can you cultivate literature and govern classics just for the sake of being an official? And among the eight dragons of the Xun family, there are still countless dragons that are dormant.
How can others not have the Xun family's ethics?"
When Cao Song said this, Xun Jian almost jumped up in anger. You are the most unethical person here. How dare you mention your ethics to me?
But he was unable to refute. If he argued a few more words, he would probably block the door.
The matter was settled in this way. After the courtiers negotiated, Cai Yong would take charge of the matter. After all, it was him who proposed it. Cai Yong was helpless and had no choice but to accept the order. The little fat man happily ordered to withdraw from the court. Cai Yong just wanted to
As soon as he left, he was surrounded by the "Eleven Thieves", who were very enthusiastic towards him. They already felt that Cai Yong was already the little fat man's confidant, that is, he was in the same party with them.
The party members looked at them with disgust and left with disdain.
Cai Yong smiled bitterly, now it's better, he is now twelve thieves.
This incident spread, and all the poor scholars in the world cried with gratitude and clapped their hands and cheered. Cai Yong suddenly became busy. Fortunately, many people from the imperial party came to help, and things went smoothly. But another thing happened.
It was Xun Jian who was stopped by the imperial students. Yuan Ping and Yang Ci were also encountered with him. Xun Jian and Yuan Ping were besieged by the imperial students because they opposed the emperor on this matter.
Naturally, they did not use force against him, but only cursed and spread rumors. Everyone suddenly discovered that the Yuan family and the Xun family, which were famous all over the world, suddenly had a lot of scandals. As for Yang Ci, he was implicated by them.
The reason given by the student is very simple. As the third prince, you have not set an example and have not come out to oppose it immediately. You are not even as good as the eunuch and lackey Cao Song. Why don't you criticize you?
That month, Empress Dowager Dou's condition worsened day by day, and she occasionally fainted. Everyone in the Weiyang Palace was shocked. Many maids, Huangmen, had begun to show their favor to the Dong family, and Dong Chong, who held the Jin Dynasty, also transformed into a hot hand among the party members.
He was a popular figure, and party members made friends with him one after another. Dong Chong was somewhat flattered by this, and his relationship with the party members gradually became closer.
But towards the imperial party headed by the old lieutenant, he showed obvious malice.
According to legend at the time, Dong Chong once said in private: If I were a general, I would kill ten thieves to serve as a warning to others.
