Chapter 2353 The first wife of the Han Dynasty is strictly controlled
The woman who spoke was naturally Yang Jian's first wife, and the only designated wife and concubine was the Dugu family.
Yang Jian was speechless for a moment.
He wanted to say, although I know Lihua must be happier than when she was in the palace facing the threat of death all the time, and the last time Miaoer came, she also wrote a lot about herself and her sister in the letter.
The things he was doing showed a sense of motivation, which made Yang Jian very happy. After all, his daughter was not a flower vase, but...
As a father, I still feel a little heartbroken.
Two good cabbages from my house!
"Lihua still lost her status after all."
"Your Majesty wants to give it to her, but she is unwilling to compete with Miao'er. It's not that your Majesty feels sorry for her." Mrs. Dugu said lightly.
Until now, Yang Lihua was just a female official in the harem, and she was just the head female official.
But it is still different from concubines.
However, she was not willing to accept the title of concubine. Obviously, in her view, once she accepted the title, she would be equal to her sister. When the time comes, the tasks of the inner government, the distribution of rewards, etc., they are two sisters, so naturally
I feel embarrassed to compete with others.
So it is better to let my sister enjoy good treatment and get less for myself.
After all, they sisters cannot be compared with Lechang and Chen Xuanhua. Everyone knows how important the Queen and Chen Xuanhua are in His Majesty's heart.
"But······"
"It's better than that trash Yu Wenyun." Mrs. Dugu said coldly and glared at him.
Mrs. Dugu has never been satisfied with this marriage that was clearly made by Yang Jian in order to climb up the ladder. After all, Mrs. Dugu was also a person who once faced the death threat given by Yu Wenyun and broke into the forbidden palace angrily.
As the saying goes, "It all depends on the support of peers." Even if Li Xingchen has all kinds of faults and flaws, in the end he is still much better than Chen Shubao, Yu Wenyun and the like.
Mrs. Dugu is obviously satisfied with her two daughters following such a figure.
Yang Jian was speechless.
Okay, my wife is right.
As a well-known "wife-controller", I dare not speak out.
Li Xingchen has just inspected Jinling Academy, and he is naturally relieved about Jinling Academy. The academy he established back then was loyal to himself from the inside out, and the education model, management system, etc. have also been passed through.
It was arrived at after repeated deliberation by Li Xingchen, Xu Ling and others.
Among the three major academies during the founding of the Han Dynasty, Chengdu Academy's educational methods and ideas were sometimes a bit advanced. After all, this is where Li Xinchen started, and it was also where Li Xinchen led many people to make continuous breakthroughs in thinking and technology. In addition,
After all, the connection between the culture here and the Central Plains is not that close, so some of the Confucian golden mean and conservative ideas popular in the Central Plains and Jiangnan are not popular here.
As for the Yuelu Academy, it was leaning toward the conservative side. At that time, Li Xingchen asked a descendant of the Yan family to serve as the director of the Yuelu Academy. Naturally, he did not expect the academy to provide many talents with new ideas for the Han Dynasty.
Li Xinchen used this academy more to convey to those influential contemporary Confucian scholars that he was not completely "apostate".
Confucianism, in Li Xingchen's opinion, is also an important part of social thought. Naturally, it is necessary to have an academy to spread such ideas, but how it can be spread in the end depends on how it is compared with students from other academies during the imperial examination.
Whether it is competitive or not, Li Xingchen has nothing to do with it.
The imperial examination is to select practical talents who are truly useful to the court, rather than empty talkers. This is Li Xinchen's principle. As for the direction of governance ideas of these talents themselves, Li Xinchen is not really concerned about them.
What is a good official? He who can make the place peaceful and the people prosperous is a good official.
No matter what their political views are, as long as they can achieve these, Li Xingchen will not mind entrusting them with important responsibilities.
It is precisely because of the kind of mind shown by His Majesty that many people can only talk about His Majesty's various "deviants" in words, but they are still very active in studying hard, participating in imperial examinations and other actions.
As a Confucian, you need to save face.
As for Jinling Academy, it is located in the "middle" of the three major academies. If one word could be used to describe its positioning, then "moderate" might be the most appropriate.
Whether it is tolerating hundreds of schools of thought, paying attention to the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic qualities, or teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, Jinling Academy is not radical or conservative, and treats each person according to his or her age, talent, performance, etc.
This should be said to be another conceptual "moderate".
Therefore, although the development of Jinling Academy will not be very fast, it will be very steady.
However, as the true founder of Jinling Academy, Li Xingchen of course still had to go to the academy to take a walk, hang out, and meet the excited teachers and students.
This is Li Xingchen's expression of his firm determination to promote the academy's education model for all, and at the same time, he naturally expresses his support for the teachers and students of the academy.
After all, they are and have been developing on this land, evolving for hundreds or even thousands of years, and fighting with some deep-rooted ideas.
Li Xingchen's support is naturally their biggest backer.
So after having a good conversation with the teachers and students of Jinling Academy, Li Xingchen took Yang Lihua to the back mountain.
Climbing up the stairs, he immediately saw the two figures waiting outside.
That tall and straight figure is Mrs. Dugu.
The other one standing next to him, bowing slightly and looking obsequious, was the great hero of the generation, Li Xinchen's most valued opponent, Yang Jian.
Well, when I came here, I saw my mother-in-law scolding my father-in-law.
Li Xingchen glanced at his father-in-law distressedly.
Your old man's bronchitis is probably incurable. Looking at the big man, it is probably the first or second in severity.
In history, even after Yang Jian became emperor, he was scared to death of his wife. He waited until her wife was gone before he started to have sex with her.
Now that Yang Jian has lost his power, he naturally has no chance to live in a good life. Moreover, he has given away all his daughters to others, and also lost all his older sons. His family status, which was originally low, has also declined sharply.
.
If it weren't for the important event of his daughter returning home to visit relatives, and His Majesty the Emperor coming in person, Li Xingchen would have doubted that his father-in-law should be kneeling on the washboard at this time.
A generation of emperors in history, in this era, can be regarded as the regents of the dynasty. They have great power and look like emperors. Kneeling on the washboard, this is a beautiful scene.
"See your majesty!" Yang Jian saluted with his hands raised in a serious manner, neither humble nor overbearing.
Dugu also followed suit and bowed.
Li Xingchen smiled and winked at Yang Lihua. Yang Lihua could no longer hold back and threw herself into Dugu's arms: "Mother!"
The sound of "Mother" was so real that there was already a cry in the voice.
