Chapter 1271 Strong wind! Strong wind! (Two updates combined into one)

After listening to Wang Gui's words, Zhang Yue hurriedly said: "Teacher, how dare you do this? The student said at the beginning that the teacher is the order of Zhongshu, how can the student dare to steal the responsibility of Zhongshu?"

Wang Gui said with a smile: "You haven't called me teacher for some time."

"I still remember that on the first day you became a Prime Minister, I told you that officialdom is a place that values ​​human relations, and people who are unkind will not get far."

Zhang Yue said: "The teacher's words will be remembered by students throughout their lives."

Indeed, as Wang Gui said, a person who is indifferent to human feelings will not be able to sit in a high position for long even if he is in a high position for a while.

The word "human touch" is scorned by many young people today, but it is what officials of Wang Gui's generation value most.

"The students still remember that on the first day the students became prime ministers, the teacher took out the class book and discussed it together."

Wang Gui said happily: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager also uses the word 'human feelings' to govern the world."

Zhang Yue said: "But if you want to change the system, you can't be too humane. If you want to be too humane, you can't change the system."

"Ouyang Wenzhong, another teacher of the student, once said that truth comes from human feelings, and it depends on how to choose between them."

Wang Gui said: "It's the best, it's the best."

"The last time the government and the public opposed the peace with the Liao Kingdom, it was the public opinion caused by the Imperial College students. There are so many voices discussing policies in the Imperial College, which really worries me!"

Zhang Yue said: “Public opinion is the opinion of public opinion, the opinion of people who are not meat eaters.

"Since ancient times, sages have been happy to hear slanderous words and listen to the opinions of public opinion. There are things that can be recorded in the cudows, and there are words about the temples that have to be paid."

"In this dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly rule the world. Imperial students are scholars, and there is no harm in listening to the scholar-bureaucrats in the future."

Wang Gui said: "I heard that Cai Bian Shangshu wanted to reform martial arts and no longer treat warriors as martial arts students, but warriors as warriors?"

Zhang Yue said: "During the Warring States Period, warriors were said to be warriors, and warriors were also scholars."

Wang Gui asked: "So what Cai Jing proposed is that in the future, each state and county will establish government-run prefecture schools and county schools, and the county schools will recommend students to the state schools, and the state schools will recommend students to the Taixue?"

Zhang Yue pretended not to know: "I didn't know about this while I was ill these days. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Wang Gui said: "I'm worried that it will be difficult for scholars to manage in the future!"

Zhang Yue said: "This is what students think. Half of the students in the prefecture and county schools are from poor families, that is, those who have no official status for more than three generations. As long as they are from poor families, there is no problem!"

After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "Nowadays, the scholarly atmosphere is very encouraging. Mr. Hengqu's four-line teaching is recited by scholars all over the world. As long as every scholar imitates this, why worry about us having no successors in the world?"

Wang Gui said: "The conduct of scholars is like this, which is certainly good. But with such excitement, how can the imperial court negotiate peace with Liao?"

In fact, since Qingli established schools, the imperial court encouraged and even forced local governments to establish prefectural and county schools. Fan Zhongyan realized that he needed to use students as a class to break the stuffy and conservative atmosphere in the political hall.

Wang Anshi established the school in Xining, reformed the academic system of Taixue and expanded the number of Taixue students to 2,400, and then Cai Jing's Chongning school in another time and space in history had this plan.

Zhang Yue is also like this.

The establishment of a three-level system of Taixue, Prefecture, and County schools was also part of the founding of Chongning schools. Cai Jing, through Zhang Yue, came up with this plan in advance to incorporate all the original prefecture and county students into the Taixue system.

The outstanding students from the county will be admitted to the state school, and the outstanding students from the state will be admitted to the Taipei University.

Half of the places must be from poor families with no official status for more than three generations.

In addition, Zhang Yue also opened up a way for military generals to become scholars.

In the future, martial arts will no longer be about soldiers becoming generals, but generals becoming scholars, and it will exist as a general military academy in later generations.

Therefore, there is an implicit line, that is, martial arts students among Tai students become military generals, then enter martial arts through the status of military generals, and finally become high officials.

Both of these methods can strengthen the "shi" class.

In addition to the medical students taught by Qian Yi, Zhang Yue also planned to select "scholars" from businessmen, craftsmen, and farmers.

Wang Gui saw worries in it, while Zhang Yue saw hope in it. This was due to their different perspectives.

The class of ‘scholars’ is and will always be the most ideal, ambitious and dedicated class in society.

The six thieves in history were those who were defeated by the imperial student Chen Dong Shangshu. In the end, Chen Dong also died and became a benevolent person.

An organization needs a constant infusion of fresh blood in order to continue to innovate and progress.

In the past, the imperial students vigorously opposed the negotiation of peace with the Liao State and did not hesitate to remonstrate with blood. Even the emperor and the empress dowager were moved and changed their original intentions. This time, Wang Gui was worried about negotiating peace with the Liao State, and the imperial students came out to cause trouble again.

Wang Gui believed that Zhang Yue himself was the driving force behind the incident, so he took out the bargaining chip of Zhongshu Shilang and asked him to cooperate.

However, in this matter of public opinion, Zhang Yue could only take advantage of the situation and could not reverse it at all.

Wang Guidao said: "To make it clear, I have read Fan Wenzhenggong's "Nanjing Academy Title Notes" and Wang Jinggong's "Cixi County Academic Notes". They both say that the law of politics and religion in the world should be to guide people back to the mainstream. "

"These students are able to understand the truth, but they do not understand the truth. Nowadays, there are few officials and many scholars. Although it is said that if you are good at learning, you will become an official. However, the number of scholars is increasing day by day, and the court is no longer enough to support scholars. And these redundant scholars are not willing to accept it.

If you behave in an inferior manner, the court will be in chaos in the future."

Zhang Yue said: "Teacher, chaos means governance, and governance means chaos."

"Small chaos will lead to great rule, and small rule will lead to great chaos. We must distinguish between them."

"The teacher said that students both understand the truth and don't understand the truth. This is true. But it turns out that many things are done by them."

"Actually, what is said and planned in the temple are wise things and wise words, but they are inevitably too far away from the people."

"The scholars can go up and down, and although they are unavoidable in doing things radically, the people are not very smart either. It is up to them to say stupid things to the people, but they lead to the path of wisdom."

After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "Students also heard that officials want to ban teahouse storytellers and folk tabloids."

"They even made the imperial examination text clumsy and pretentious, which is not conducive to the recruitment of scholars from poor families."

Wang Gui said: "Now that we have reached this point, we can only hope that Shen Cunzhong will win this battle in Pingxia City."

"Otherwise, even if the peace negotiation with Liao succeeds, it will not escape the criticism of thousands of people. Is this the situation that Duzhi expected?"

Zhang Yue said: "Teacher, the only thing in my mind is the reform of the system. Other than that, I have no other selfish motives."

Wang Gui nodded, and the two ended the conversation.

Zhang Yue sent Wang Gui to the bedroom door and said: "The teacher's kindness in nurturing the students will never be forgotten. If the teacher can take care of things, what's the harm in the students immediately giving up everything in power and position and returning to their hometown to work hard?"

"

Wang Gui said: "It makes me feel very happy that I care about my old relationship so much."

"But the national situation is in crisis and the external affairs are urgent, and the world must rely on him to help him."

After saying this, Wang Gui said goodbye.

Zhang Yue watched Wang Gui's back, and Chen Guan walked to Zhang Yue's side and said to Zhang Yue: "Teacher, the affairs of the world do not depend on position, but on power."

"It's a pity that Mr. Zhaowen doesn't understand this truth."

Zhang Yue said: "But only those with power have power, and this is true in ancient and modern times."

Chen Guan asked: "When will the teacher come back?"

Zhang Yue said: "Let's wait until Shen Cunzhong wins this battle!"

Chen Guan was surprised. Wang Gui's visit was the best opportunity for Zhang Yue to come back. Why did he have to wait until Shen Kuo won this battle?

But he knew that Zhang Yue had his own considerations in doing so, so he didn't make any assumptions.

Wang Gui went out from Zhang Yue's mansion. He rode a carriage on the streets of Bianjing and saw a social opera beside the street that attracted countless people to watch.

Wang Gui asked: "What social opera is this?"

The follower said: "The good Prime Minister knows that this is about the robes and belts of the generals of the Yang family in this dynasty?"

Wang Gui asked: "Aren't we talking about the three points and the five dynasties? When did we talk about this dynasty?"

The attendant said: "Returning to the Prime Minister, it is said that the three generations of Yang Jiye, Yang Yanlang and Yang Wenguang of this dynasty. Now they all talk about the Liulang of the Yang family who destroyed the Liao Kingdom's Tianmen Formation when he was in Renzong."

"The Liao people have a superstitious belief that among the Big Dipper, the sixth star is dedicated to defeating the Liao Kingdom, hence the saying of Liulang of the Yang family."

Wang Gui sighed after hearing this.

Yang Wenguang knew about it. During the Zhiping Year, he built Juozhen City on Qinfeng Road, which is now Gangu City.

However, Yang Wenguang died of illness during the negotiations on the demarcation of the Song and Liao Dynasties in Xining. There were no outstanding descendants of the Yang family, let alone the Tianmen Formation of the Liao Kingdom when he was in Renzong.

However, since it is a social drama, it is a fabrication, and it is based on arranging things that do not exist for existing people.

But this kind of social drama is very popular among the common people.

The common people were all looking forward to a general from the Yang family who would lead the Song Dynasty to destroy the arrogance of the Liao Kingdom.

When Wang Gui heard this, he sighed. Thinking of Zhang Yue's words just now, he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's grasp of public opinion and understanding of the situation, and his foresight in planning and discussing matters.

Seeing the excitement among the people, they cheered and cheered endlessly.

Wang Gui told his entourage: "Tonight, the servants of those who are invited to perform the social opera will watch the opera with the guests."

——

The attack on Pingxia City lasted until the fourteenth day.

Party soldiers and horses attacked day and night, and Pingxia City was in danger.

Party soldiers and horses built countless siege equipment and pushed them to the left and right sides of Pingxia City.

The trenches were filled with the corpses of unarmored tribal soldiers. These tribal soldiers were cannon fodder during the siege. They held a spear and attacked the Song army's fortified city. In the end, most of them filled the trenches.
