Li Xingchen could ensure that the political system of the inner court and the outer court operating in parallel would move forward steadily in his hands, but he could not guarantee that his descendants would be able to complete the checks and balances in between. Therefore, King Gu Ye knew what Li Xingchen would do.
choose.
People who grow old but do not die become monsters. King Gu Ye has lived for such a long time, so he can still figure this out clearly.
"In this case, how should this new organization be called?" Li Xingchen said in a deep voice. As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation. In the eyes of the ancients, naturally everyone must have a distinguished name.
Immediately, the officials in the court looked at each other, and then looked at Li Xinchen. I have to say that this is indeed a problem. After all, this newly formed organization will span both civil and military aspects, and will determine the entire Han Dynasty for at least one to two years.
decisions within.
To be honest, Li Xingchen is not opposed to directly adding the name "Military Aircraft Department", which makes him feel very involved. But the sense of substitution is a sense of substitution. After all, this is not only an organization set up to coordinate the military, but also
The political and people's livelihood of the entire Han Dynasty were all under consideration, so naturally it was impossible to call it "military".
At this time, Shen Jungao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the war in the north is a secret of our Han Dynasty, and your Majesty has this new department to take charge of and coordinate, and the management is called the Pivot. This matter can be called a secret, so I think the word 'Privy' is the most important
It's appropriate, and at the same time, it's subtle and profound, and it's not easy for outsiders to notice."
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he had skipped the Military Aircraft Department or the Privy Council.
Historically, the Privy Council appeared in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It can almost be called the "Taiwei's Mansion" of the Song Dynasty. It was in charge of military affairs and military-related affairs. But in fact, when it was first established, the Privy Council was just for peace and harmony.
Their names were generally the same, and they mainly dealt with private matters around the emperor. However, after hundreds of years of evolution, by the Song Dynasty, there was only one name left, and its essence had long since been completely changed.
So from this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with calling it the Privy Council, but Li Xingchen remembers that when the Privy Council was first established in the Tang Dynasty, the people in charge of the Privy Council were all eunuchs, right?
But now I just use this name.
"I think it's okay," Li Xingchen said after considering it, "That's it!"
The first imperial meeting of the first year of the New Year of the Han Dynasty ended very quickly, but I am afraid that I would not have thought that in these short few hours, the Han Dynasty had determined the basic national policy for the next few years.
I am afraid that even Li Xingchen, who is currently in the court and has great ambitions, does not know what impact the decisions he is making now will have on the entire history.
In fact, Li Xingchen now has no way to think about these problems. History has completely changed. Therefore, Li Xingchen is also facing too many challenges step by step, so that when he solves one problem, he has to face new problems.
Li Xingchen now feels more and more that he has no way to look forward.
How long has it been since I felt like I was at the top of the mountain and could see all the small mountains? So much so that even I would have stuck to the "turf grabbing" policy that I had formulated before. If Yang Su hadn't woken up with a word today,
The man in the dream, Li Xingchen, didn’t know where he would eventually lead the big man step by step.
If a person does not have the ultimate goal of struggle, he will only sink more and more in the end and become content with the status quo. When the real challenge comes, he realizes that he has wasted too much time before, and the opponent is already so powerful that he cannot defeat it.
.
The same principle is actually the same for a dynasty. The reason why the Han Dynasty was able to be strong at the beginning was because of its forbearance during the Wenjing Dynasty, and finally defeated the Xiongnu, the biggest enemy, in one fell swoop during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so that in the end it became "independent"
"The Han Dynasty was destroyed by force", but because it had no enemies and was unaware of the threat from the north, it split from within, leading to the tragedy of the Five Husbands disrupting China.
The same was true for the Song Dynasty. The long-term tug-of-war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty resulted in the Song Dynasty not realizing the rise of the Jurchen, a powerful enemy, so that the shame of Jingkang became a shame that the Han people would not be able to wash away for thousands of years.
Therefore, Li Xingchen was afraid that he would not be able to see the future clearly, and he was also afraid that his steps would be too fast and the entire dynasty would fall apart due to rapid changes.
"Let's go, let me go to Jinling Academy for a walk." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Jinling Academy has now begun to recruit students, and Li Xingchen also wants to see who can take the exam and pass it. After all, the real pillars of the Han Dynasty will be cultivated from Jinling Academy.
Although Xiao Cong and his son vowed to adopt a fairer method of selecting talents last time, Li Xingchen still felt uneasy after all. This was not because he was worried that the loyal people of Xiao Cong and his son had already reached this point.
They must have known in their hearts what choice they should make, but because they were worried that people's thinking and ideas would be limited by the times after all.
Li Xinchen did not directly adopt the imperial examination system, but first set up academies to conduct experiments and cultivate some talents. Firstly, it was because he was worried about the reform moving too fast. Secondly, it was also because Li Xinchen wanted to test some original ideas through pilot methods.
Are educational methods and methods that do not belong to this era also applicable?
Before, Li Xingchen was in a hurry when he was in Chengdu and Xiangzhou, so whether it was Chengdu Academy or Yuelu Academy, they could only proceed in the ancient way. But this Jinling Academy is under Li Xingchen's nose, so it is impossible for Li Xingchen to do it.
Still letting it go.
Compared with the last time Li Xingchen came to Jinling Academy, the academy was undoubtedly much more lively. There was an endless stream of young people wearing turbans on their heads on the mountain road, and some of them were still discussing something. Li Xingchen was also dressed in ordinary clothes.
Even with the two plainclothes guards behind him, he looked like a rich kid with some spare money, and he was not conspicuous on this mountain road.
"Sir, the young master of the Xu family passed by just now, and I also saw the young master of the Gu family." Li Ping said in a low voice.
As the chief bodyguard of Li Xingchen, Li Ping was of course well aware of the various people in the Jiankang Mansion. If Yulinqi and Baipao were Li Xingchen's open and hidden arrows, then the bodyguards and soldiers were undoubtedly the strongest shields.
"It seems to be quite lively." Li Xingchen said with a smile. King Gu Ye and Xu Ling both asked their direct descendants from the family to come, which gave them enough face.
Of course, in other words, they also want to know what Li Xingchen plans to do with Jinling Academy.
Not far away is the mountain gate of the academy that has been renovated.
Among the few academy gentlemen standing outside the mountain gate to welcome guests, they caught sight of Li Xingchen.
