eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 80 The Clerical Plan of Civil Officials (please subscribe!)

Wu Junchuan's identity is exactly in line with Zhu Houzhao's idea of ​​becoming a military academy.

According to the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, military registration must be hereditary.This is actually unreasonable. The father's ability to fight has nothing to do with the son.

This is so obvious that it doesn't take another 500 years of vision to see it.

But the emperors of the feudal dynasty care most about stability, so giving everyone an identity and using various ideologies to restrain you and let you accept your fate is actually a way to maintain rule as much as possible.

Because the king who founded the country was a sensible person, how could he not know that the kings of later generations are not so capable?It's just that it is impossible to realize the eternal life under the premise of family and family, so it seems that the various institutional efforts of the past dynasties are a bit absurd.

Not to mention these.

In the current system of hereditary military status, Zhu Houzhao did have the idea to put some military officers' children in the military academy for unified training.Although this is unfair to those who want to be generals among the peasant children, he can't do it absolutely. It's already a steal.

The significance of the Academy is that these people Zhu Houzhao can find a way to turn them into vested interest groups on the chariot of the Eastern Palace, to counteract the old interest groups.

If the power of the new interest groups is not strong enough, it will be easy for people to die.As long as the core figures are hung up, basically they will not be able to make the top seven, and some people will jump out and carry the flag to oppose.

Cheng Minzheng, who had just entered Beijing, was a man of great prestige, so when he was with Wu Kuan, he dared to say that, so what?Everyone is listed as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

He even asked directly: "Since we know that the East Palace has such a secret plan, why haven't the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty responded?"

Wu Kuan's face was gloomy, the bags under his eyes were already heavy, and it felt like a blister had bulged, and his worried face was always without a smile at all.

"Master Cheng," said the speaker was Wu Kuan's student, Qian Gui, the censor of Zuoqin, he didn't dare to refute too harshly, but Cheng Minzheng's accusation was really unreasonable, so he said full of grievances, "At the beginning, the prince was just talking. Talking about it, but not really doing it, those of us who are courtiers will not hold back because of a few words from the East Palace. How can there be a courtesy of a courtier? Moreover, the prince’s name is still for the poor people, How do you react to that?"

The most profound objection is always when the things on the mouth start to fall, and one's own interests are seriously damaged, otherwise no one can escape from boiling frogs in warm water.

It's not that time yet.

"It's just true... No one thought it would be so fast at the beginning."

Cheng Minzheng snorted, "Of course it will be soon if you don't pass the cabinet and ministries. When there is such a sign, you should know that this matter is not easy."

Now let’s not talk about real money and silver flowers going out to create big fanfare in the capital,
The prince still has the heart to let the Jinshi who has won the first place also go to train.Doesn't this imply the idea that "sacred learning is useless"?

"The East Palace...has always been a lot of planning," Wu Kuan is now completely convinced of this point, "Looking back now, it was planned beforehand not to hand over to the cabinet department, and it was used in the name of the poor people. Of course it wasn't unintentional."

It seems that Donggong understands them very well to have such a move.

Another point, Wu Kuan did not dare to say, is that Li Guang's matter should also be part of the plan, because if it is not submitted to the cabinet for discussion, there will be no money.

What about the silver?
A few months later, I realized that this is a big game.

The only gap is that Wang Jia wants to be a peacemaker between Wu Kuan and the prince, and even intends to persuade him and Wu Kuan to jointly manage the school.

This let him know that in addition to the Medical Palace, the Eastern Palace also had plans to set up soldiers, farmers, and government schools.

Really step by step.

Now that they have people and money, what should they do?
"What is Keqin going to do?"

Although Cheng Minzheng is an arrogant person, he has never been without brains. He pondered for a while and said, "Since His Highness wants to build it, let him build it. Medicine needs a place, and Confucianism also needs a place. We can advise His Majesty, Adding a subject of Confucianism in this academy, teaching the way of sages, disseminating the learning of sages, promoting education, and gathering people's hearts, there is no reason to object to it, right?"

Both Wu Kuan and Qian Gui's eyes lit up,
"This method of taking advantage of the wind and drawing salary from the bottom of the pot is very wonderful!"

In the past, they just wanted to persuade the prince, but they couldn't do it several times. Now it's different if they go downhill.

Qian Gui couldn't help but praised: "This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. At that time, it will not only be for the government to study, but also for a Guozijian second."

"How does Master Wu feel?" Cheng Minzheng looked at him as if he was a little moved, but he seemed to have some worries.

It's not actually a worry,
Wu Kuan was wondering what the crown prince could do to deal with it...

Because, he always has.

"Keqin's strategy is indeed very clever. But... what if the crown prince handles it properly?" old man Wu reminded.

"Responsible? The teacher means objection?" Qian Gui thought for a while, "We propose to set up an academy and educate the people. How can there be room for disapproval?"

Educating the common people is a universally applicable principle. Now, as the heir, how can you resolutely oppose it?

But Wu Kuan has a psychological shadow, so before he succeeds, he thinks about failure first.

Even if he thought about it carefully, Qian Gui's words made some sense, but he still didn't think that this so-called killing two birds with one stone would be so easy to achieve.

"Everything, let's talk about it after Keqin has seen Donggong."

Speaking of which, the courtiers fought with Emperor Hongzhi for many rounds just to give lectures on when the East Palace would leave the pavilion.
Unexpectedly, after the beginning of spring this time, everything went smoothly. Emperor Hongzhi at least accepted all the preparations made by the Ministry of Rites and all the details of the presentation, and he never mentioned that he would postpone this request for some reason.

The three cabinet ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian slowly relaxed their hearts.

All the preparations for the Wenhua Palace are ready, just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up early.The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty had a lecture note when he was studying, and it was a special ceremony for the first time. The scale was relatively large, especially since the emperor loved the crown prince.

In terms of personnel, in addition to the teachers who actually give lectures to the prince, officials in charge of ceremonies and etiquette such as Jinyiwei and Honglu Temple will also be present, not to mention the eunuchs of the yamen such as the Lijian, even if it is such an action of unfolding the book, Somebody has to be there.

When Zhu Hou looked at the white sky and took a sedan chair to Wenhua Hall, all the officials had already arrived before him, lined up in two rows, and stood facing each other.

When Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao to the seat in the middle of the Wenhua Palace, the eunuch in the palace shouted, "All officials enter the palace to give lectures!"
