Xu Su and the others made a simple division of labor and each did their own thing.
Li Xingchen immediately summoned Yang Su and Xiao Shilian.
Li Xingchen needs someone to discuss this matter. Although there are many officials from the six ministries below, it is best not to spread the matter too widely. Yang Su and Xiao Shilian are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates. One of them represents the south and the other represents
The North can just convey the different views of the North and the South on this matter.
Of course, because Pei Zilie is not here, the two of them are also the people Li Xingchen trusts the most.
In addition, if the Jiangnan family wants to rise again, who is their biggest enemy? It is nothing more than the northern faction and the southeast generals. It was these two factions that combined to push the Jiangnan family into the abyss. If they want to rise again, these two factions
The gatekeeper must agree first.
Now Xiao Mohe has retreated to the second line to avoid suspicion. He holds the title of Taiwei, but is doing the work of teaching and educating people every day. Yang Su is already the leader of the Taiwei Mansion, and Xiao Shilian is the leader of the military.
The conversation between two people is naturally very meaningful.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not that we can't give them this opportunity." Yang Su said after careful consideration.
Since Your Majesty has already spoken out about this matter, it means that His Majesty has obviously had his own idea, and this idea must be in favor of agreement. Otherwise, there is no need for His Majesty to speak out about this matter. This will only increase everyone's understanding of the matter.
Speculations about His Majesty's attitude have caused a lot of trouble.
So Yang Su was also testing Li Xingchen's attitude. He tried to continue: "The Jiangnan aristocratic family is no longer the arrogant southeastern noble family it used to be. The Battle of Kuaiji has broken their backbone, and
The imperial court has also taken away the properties and houses that they originally relied on, and the current Jiangnan family can hardly even be called a family, it is just a group of people."
When Xiao Shilian saw Yang Su relenting, he felt relieved. The reason why the Southeast General Sect has always stood firmly on the opposite side of the family is ultimately because the Southeast General Sect originated from the veterans who followed Chen Baxian to conquer the world, and the veterans basically
They all come from humble or even poor families, and one or two generations back they are common people who work on the land. If the political system of aristocratic families based on the nine-level Zhongzheng system is not overthrown, then of course the southeastern generals will not be able to hold their heads high in front of the Jiangnan aristocratic family.
They can only hang out among the military and huddle together to keep warm.
Therefore, the Southeast General's opposition to the aristocratic family is more for his own survival, otherwise the future of his children will not be seen at all.
Now that the Jiangnan family has been driven into the valley, and with the implementation of the imperial examination system and other systems, they actually have no room to stand up and become bigger. They just want to take advantage of this time when the Han Dynasty goes north to recover and regain their strength, even if it is
Li Xingchen wants to show his presence here, at least he can't let the children of the Jiangnan family become ordinary people, otherwise the family's inheritance for generations will really be wiped out.
Of course, in addition to the future of the children of the family, there is also the culture passed down by the family, which cannot be lost like this. Otherwise, wouldn’t the hard work of generations of ancestors be wasted?
The reason why aristocratic families can become aristocratic families is of course not only relying on the money and land passed down from their ancestors, but also mainly the knowledge passed down from their ancestors. There is really no knowledge at all, and they can't say anything if they are just asked to talk.
What, let alone governing the country.
In the early days of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wars raged, and although many ancient books had been destroyed, there was still a lot of knowledge that was preserved through word-of-mouth transmission by aristocratic families. These were things that aristocratic families considered themselves superior to others and wanted to protect.
In addition to the imperial examination system, if aristocratic families want to protect and continue these things, they naturally need to actively participate in the court's actions to spread culture. The academy is obviously the best carrier of cultural spread.
"It is a good thing that various schools in the south of the Yangtze River want to send people to support the construction of academies in the north," Li Xingchen concluded, "but it is not up to them to decide how the academies teach and educate people. The imperial court has already unified the three major academies.
The teaching materials, now it is also time to unify the teaching materials of various local academies. What I need are Yunwen and Yunwu, people who can take charge of their own affairs after graduation, not a group of wastes who only know how to shake their heads every day."
Yang Su and Xiao Shilian looked at each other. His Majesty clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with those Confucian scholars and Qingliu. In fact, as practical people, they had no good impression of these scholars who only knew general talk. Even the Southern Dynasty
Being stagnant for so many years has something to do with these people.
It can be said that the title of the Southeastern Gentlemen has made many people intoxicated, but they have forgotten that the power of a country and dynasty is far more than just words and thoughts.
People are available, but how to use them is still a problem.
Li Xingchen said directly: "In addition to the talents from the southeast, we must also seize the talents from the north. I don't believe that all the people in the north have escaped, and I don't believe that Yu Wenxian's attraction to them is that great."
After a pause, Li Xingchen looked at Yang Su, and Yang Su suddenly understood: "I obey your order!"
Li Xingchen was hinting to him that many talented people in Guanzhong are now in a state of semi-seclusion to observe the general trend of the world. Now that the Han Dynasty has clearly taken the advantage, it is obvious that these talents should not be able to sit still. Yang Su, as an out-and-out
The people of Guanzhong must find ways to help the court persuade these people to come out.
If we wait any longer, the court may not need them as much as it does today.
Xiao Shilian also had a serious look on his face. His Majesty obviously does not intend to let the Jiangnan family enjoy the northern talent education exclusively. Talents from Guanzhong enter the Central Plains, as well as talents from various academies. The Central Plains will naturally be a gathering of talents, and academy education is nothing.
, it shouldn’t be very difficult for the entire Central Plains to recover.
Your Majesty is playing a big game of chess.
Li Xingchen then asked: "Is there any movement in the north now?"
Yang Su hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, not yet. It is said that Xue Yantuo's tribe came south from the grassland and is harassing Youzhou area. Yu Wenxian does not dare to move lightly at this time."
"These Xue Yantuo people have finally enlightened themselves." Li Xingchen laughed.
Historically, the Xue Yantuo tribe bullied the weak and feared the strong. First they followed the Turks to fight against the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, when they found out that the Turks were about to lose, they immediately bowed to the Tang Dynasty. They even cried bitterly, saying that it was all because of the damn Turks' oppression.
Now they planned to rise up to resist, but when the Tang Dynasty transferred its energy to the Western Regions, the Xueyantuo people quickly rebelled and tried to become another Turk. Unfortunately, they were directly crushed by the prosperous Tang Dynasty and disappeared in the long river of history.
Previously, the Xueyantuo people had been helping the Northern Zhou Dynasty resist the Han Dynasty. Although they were pretending in most cases, their attitude was still relatively clear.
