Chapter 926
Since the Qingli Dynasty, the trend of lectures has risen, and colleges are blooming everywhere, and it is extremely lively... Inferring the reason, two people have made great contributions. One is Fan Zhongyan, who has implemented the order to promote academic development, but in fact he wanted to develop official schools and cultivate useful talents. However, since the Qingli New Policy was only implemented for more than a year and the investment was insufficient, although schools were established in various places, the quality was not uniform. Some original academies were directly turned into official schools. In this way, some strong academies were used to attract students and recruit talents under the name of official schools, which made the academies prosper, which was completely contrary to Fan Xianggong's original intention.
Another person, I have to say, is Wang Ning'an!
He was able to start a business quickly, and Liuyi made an indelible contribution. With the lessons of the past, how could others not learn it? Although scholars looked down on Wang Ning'an, they had to admit that this kid was too profound and extraordinary.
Many people unconsciously learn from Wang Ning'an and want to replicate his success.
Of course, the Six Arts have all the advantages of time, place and people. Not to mention unprecedented success, it is almost the same. It is so difficult to learn.
In addition, the group of people who followed the school did not understand what to teach or what kind of talents to cultivate. In the end, they could only invite some so-called famous scholars and scholars to take charge of the affairs of the academy. These people were only responsible for paying the money.
The traditional famous scholars and scholars all had a grudge against Wang Ning'an, so they turned the academy into their own temple and opposed the reform in the name of lectures.
Especially many colleges, they have founded newspapers privately, and their influence in the local area is not weak. In this way, the entire teaching atmosphere has completely ruined.
What is even more heartbreaking is that every academy school requires at least tens of thousands of yuan in a year, attracting hundreds of young talents, who are fascinated by listening to the so-called master's lectures, indulging in it, and wasting countless social resources. Wang Ning'an had long wanted to solve these people. Now that the opportunity has come, how could he miss it?
First seize Donglin Academy.
I have to say that Zheng Xia’s group of people are still very well-informed. When the people came, they had already run away without a trace, leaving behind a bunch of confused teachers and students, and they had no idea what was going on.
After Zhang Dun took over Donglin, he immediately checked the accounts and did not let go of anything with handwriting.
He found many donation records, often tens of thousands of coins, and hundreds of thousands of coins! What a big deal! Zhang Dun was shocked when he looked at it. He followed the map and followed the clues. All the people involved with Donglin were within the scope of the search.
For a time, the southeast, even Jiangxi, Jinghu and other places were affected, and the academy was banned, and none of them were spared!
And more than 10,000 people were arrested.
The entire Song Dynasty was in a strong shock!
First of all, it was the capital city. Sun Gu went to Xuzhou. As a result, because Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo did not cooperate, they could not speak up and could not do anything. The only thing that the capital city chief was Lu Gongzhu.
He was unwilling to confront Wang Ning'an head-on, but at this time, he had to stand out.
After the morning court, Lu Gongzhu asked to stay alone, which was a power that only the prime minister had at the top of the throne. Obviously, he wanted to sue Wang Ning'an, and Sima Guang was not a vegetarian, so he stayed there too!
Mr. Lu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he had no idea, so he could only cry and bow to the ground.
"I will report to Your Majesty, destroy all the academy, prohibit lectures, harm Confucian scholars, and restrain the way of speech. This is atrocity that only Qin Shihuang has! My Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and its sage virtues are so great. How can I allow such violent acts? I beg Your Majesty to issue an order immediately to stop the actions of King Xiliang, otherwise, our Song Dynasty will inevitably embark on the road of tyrannical Qin!"
Zhao Shu couldn't listen, but he couldn't find any excuse to refute it. Fortunately, there was Sima Guang!
"Mr. Lv, Official Lu Tian! After burning books and burying scholars of Confucianism, the world's Confucians raised an army to rebel? Or did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang lead the army to rebel? These two, including Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who was a Confucian scholar, became a violent Qin Dynasty, but I don't understand!"
"Sima Junshi!"
Mr. Lu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't show you the benefits of verbalizing and tyrannical Qin, and I have made public opinions in the past dynasties. Today, the prohibition of lectures and blocking the way of speech is to follow the old path of tyrannical Qin. Your Majesty, you must not repeat the same mistake!"
Sima Guang shook his head again, "Mr. Lu, what you said today is so strange. I can't understand a single word! The King of Xiliang prohibits lectures, but there is no ban on education. Hebei, Jingdong, Jingzuo, and various prefectures, military and counties, and there are more than one, with a loud sound of books without any impact! What the prince forbids was just some private colleges that were randomly established and unruly. The prince said very clearly that education is a public instrument, how can public instruments be used for private use? Are the people trained by these academies loyal to Your Majesty or the mountain leader who is loyal to the academies? Lord Lu, what does these people have to do with their language? Do they say that the censors in the court have to obey the control of the academies? Who are they for?"
The repeated questioning almost forced Lu Gong to the corner.
"Sima Guang, you are a crow falling on a pig. Who doesn't know that Wang Ning'an has run the Six Arts School. You people are willing to be a minion for him. If you do it, others can't do it?"
This time Zhao Shu couldn't help it.
"Lu Qing, please be careful... Liuyi Academy was renamed the Royal Academy many years ago. It is true that King Xiliang was one of the founders, but the students of the academy are not the private property of King Xiliang... Moreover, the Royal Academy includes mathematics, business, military, astronomy, agriculture, water conservancy, etc., and Confucianism is just one of the academys. Do these studies have to be divided into different schools?"
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Sima Guang sincerely praised: "For real academies, we should use the Royal Academy as a benchmark to teach various knowledge and cultivate practical talents... rather than a secret room for some people to criticize the government and form cliques for personal gain! This time, the ban on academies is to promote official schools in the southeast, so that more people can go to school and promote education, which is an unprecedented moral policy. Like Lord Lu, just protecting them without asking any questions. It is too biased and not worth refuting!"
...
If it is based on the truth, it can make people convinced. What else do we need to do in this world?
Mr. Lu failed the quarrel and mobilized the censors to write to the letter with all their might. Some officials from the southeast also gave advice, but even so, they were not as good as Wang Ning'an's men. Sima Guang calmly commanded and firmly gained the upper hand.
Lu Gongzhu also tried to invite Ouyang Xiu or Jia Changchao to come forward. After all, they are respectful and say a fair word, they still have weight.
But these two people couldn't speak, they were both closed-door and couldn't leave.
Lu Gong looked around and found only an old guy who was willing to help. The man was named Zhang Sheng. He was old and passed the Jinshi during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong. He served as the chief censor, the chief political affairs and the envoy of the Privy Council. By the time he retired, Wang Ning'an had not yet begun to make a fortune and the two had no record of fighting.
Zhang Sheng came forward and there was indeed a little noise, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation. It just alarmed Empress Dowager Cao again. She wanted to call Zhao Shu over and have a good talk.
Queen Wang Qing had been in the palace for some time and had gained some foothold. She saw the signs and immediately rushed to Empress Dowager Cao to publish 500 female training copies to all the ladies in the two capitals.
In addition, Wang Qing also issued an oral order to let everyone take care of their husbands and children with peace of mind, and to make their husbands feel at ease. They should not disturb their thoughts and involve energy because of family affairs.
I have to say that Wang Qing’s move is ruthless!
She clearly reiterated that women's morality is righteous and open. As the queen, she should set an example for the world. Empress Dowager Cao couldn't say anything, but how could she interfere in the government affairs!
This made Empress Dowager Cao sulk and had no idea!
As the daughter of the prime minister, Wang Qing completely stood firm, and even Zhao Shu looked higher. Finally, he had a good wife, which was much easier.
The capital city cannot attack, and the local area cannot stop it. Seeing that Wang Ning'an is killing all directions and looking down on him.
The southeastern side retreated step by step and was defeated.
"It's really cruel!" Zheng Xia's facial features were distorted and his expression was ferocious. This time, there were only five of them gathering together, and the scope was narrower, which also showed the tension in the situation.
"Mr. Wang will never return. Obviously, Wang Ning'an is not going to make peace. Moreover, he banned the academy and cut off the Taoist throne. If he really lets him continue to do this, it will only destroy Jiangnan's gentle energy and will never agree!"
Next to him was a little old man, whose surname was Qian, and he echoed: "Wang Ning'an's ambitions are afraid that he will not only destroy the academy. The next step is to implement the distribution of land, move to the powerful, and take the trick he did in the north to Jiangnan!"
"We can't let him succeed!" Zheng Xia gritted his teeth, "Now it is time for life and death, we must think of a way."
Liu Han shook his head, "I think about everything I can. The imperial court cannot move at all, and the Cao Gang people are not working hard, and they are also watching... As for the academy students in various places, although they are in a rebellion, the scholars will rebel for three years, and they will not be able to become a climatic person! Now Wang Ning'an is holding a butcher knife in his hand, and we are all meat on the chopping board. It is so difficult to turn the tables!"
After he finished speaking, everyone else sighed, but the old man Qian had his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Liu is actually not unable to fight back, but I just don't know if you dare to do it?"
From his expression, everyone read something strange. Zheng Xia frowned and pondered. Liu Han was stunned and shook his head quickly, "No, absolutely not... We have no ability to tear the face with the court, let alone we are still ministers of the Song Dynasty. No, no, no!"
Old Man Qian smiled, "Mr. Liu, what I am talking about is not treason!"
"What is that?" everyone asked in unison.
Old Man Qian smiled, "In the past few years, Japan fought fiercely, but now Japan is in peace. Many warriors have lost their place to use their weapons and run around. Some people have arrived in Jiangnan and entered the mulberry garden to work... They are cheap, and they can work all day long as they give them some food, without resting!"
What is the relationship between the Japanese and the situation in the southeast?
Everyone didn't understand at first, but Liu Heng reacted first.
