Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

"Tell Tianze that everything is going according to plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, the next issue was the issue of southern Xinjiang.

The fundamental purpose is to eradicate the Moon Worship Cult and support Zhao Linger's rule, or to make Zhao Linger the empire's puppet goddess in southern Xinjiang.

After all, Zhao Linger is the patron saint of southern Xinjiang and it is impossible for her to leave Nanzhao easily.

Just as the people who came to Nanzhao this time were only the Nanzhao delegation and not the high priest of the Baimiao lineage, it can be seen that the struggle within Nanzhao has already reached a white-hot stage.

The key point is that the already weak health of the King of Nanzhao is already in danger.

His power had been undermined by Baiyue for many years, and there was no male bloodline to inherit the throne. If Zhao Linger had not kept him alive over the years, the King of Nanzhao would have died of depression long ago.

This is also the reason why the Bai Miao tribe did not come.

Although Zhao Linger controls the power in the court, in the final analysis, the Moon Worship Sect still holds the initiative. Zhao Linger can only barely resist the Moon Worship Sect's counterattack.

To this end, Li Shouxi had planned for a long time.

After unifying the thirteen states of the Tang Dynasty, it was time to deal with Nanzhao and fulfill the promise made back then.

At the same time, the empire began to carry out the imperial examinations in an orderly manner.

This was the most solemn and grand imperial examination in the empire.

In the past, the aristocratic families controlled the path to promotion. After Huang Chao failed the exam, he left behind an ambition: "Wait until September 8th in autumn, when my flower blooms, all other flowers will die."

Now that the wealthy families have been eradicated and the emperor is considered wise, everyone suddenly sees hope for the imperial examination.

Especially the severity of the criminal law in the court newspaper:

Anyone who cheats in an exam will be punished three times more severely as an official, and nine generations of the candidate's family will be implicated.

This is an absolute deterrent.

Once you are caught cheating, there is basically no chance of survival, and no one will sympathize with you.

After all, you are triggering the interests of everyone.

Therefore, this examination was so rigorous that those children from poor families seemed to see hope of making the leap from a carp to a dragon. They, who were somewhat conceited about their talents but not being recognized, seemed to have met their mentor.

In just a few months, from the selection of scholars, the admission of juren to the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination, everything was in full swing and extremely lively.

"The results of the provincial examination are out. The top three hundred students from each of the thirteen continents of the Tang Dynasty, a total of four thousand people, went to the imperial capital to compete.

Those who pass the exam will be nominated for the Golden List and enter the Dragon Gate, while others who fail can also serve as minor officials in various prefectures and counties, at least their lives will be guaranteed. "

“Yes, Your Majesty is truly merciful.

I heard that the unsuccessful candidates will also be well-paid and will have priority in entering the newly-built institutions of higher learning in the empire. The rank of the dean of a higher education institution is equivalent to that of a fourth-rank academic official."

"So what? The empire is in ruins right now. If you make the list, you'll be truly making the leap to success."

Amid the discussions, a reading boom swept across the empire.

Previously, the aristocratic and wealthy families maintained a promotion channel. Now that the channel was opened, they naturally saw hope and hoped to be promoted through this path.

Especially the students of the Jixia Academy, which never interfered in state affairs, also went down the mountain one after another.

Compared with the previous recommendation of wealthy families, it is operated by aristocratic families.

At this time, even the old dean did not have much face with Li Shouxi, not to mention that the old dean did not have time to deal with them.

The purpose of establishing the Jixia Academy was to cultivate talents.

Li Shouxi now established Jixia Academy as the highest institution of learning. If it didn't have something special, Jixia Academy would soon be pulled down from the altar. Therefore, the old dean, in accordance with Li Shouxi's expectations, had already gone to Shenzhou and invited various philosophers.

What Li Shouxi wanted was a top institution for academic research.

When it comes to academic studies, Confucianism is just one school, and Legalism, Taoism, and Mohism are all included.

That is why the old dean went to Shenzhou and invited these academic masters to join the Jixia Academy and provide them with the best academic environment.

Moreover, the name of Jixia Academy alone is the same as the highest institution of learning in Qi State at that time.

What's more, there is the support of the empire.

Under Li Shouxi's promise, once a project or plan is approved by the empire, the empire can provide funding or various support.

And they will also reward the other party even if the project or plan is not successful.

In addition to the generous treatment and high status, the old dean went to Shenzhou to recruit talents the next day.

Chapter 393: Little Sage Manor

Little Sage Manor!

Located on the seaside with beautiful and unique mountain scenery, the villa is famous for its elegance and beauty.

The winding corridors, rockery and flowing water, and sea view villa can be described as a paradise on earth, so studying and learning here is a great enjoyment.

Now, an uninvited guest came to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

As human immortals in the third realm, the old dean was famous throughout the world for intimidating villains and was ranked among the top ten masters in Kyushu.

Only after Li Shouxi cancelled his account did he finally have peace.

But he was deceived by Li Shouxi and traveled thousands of miles to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

“Food should be fine and meat should be tender.

I didn't expect that there were not many Confucian scholars, but they were all so particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation? This reminded me of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, when bones were exposed in the wild and no roosters crowed for thousands of miles.

At that time, the Prince of Yan's Palace used bran as disaster relief food and compared the people to livestock.

To be honest, I was furious at the time!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xun, Fu Nian and others also knew about the return of the severe winter a few years ago, when the north was full of famine.

The situation at the seaside is not so bad. Not to mention the warm wind and temperate climate brought by the seaside, the seafood caught at sea alone can feed a lot of people.

What's more, Qi was a plain area, so although the grain harvest was affected, there was no scene of starving people for thousands of miles.

“I have heard of the story of using bran as disaster relief food.

A person who is about to die of starvation is not a person at all.

Although this statement is crude and unreasonable, if we look closely, what is the difference between those who exchange their own children for food and animals?

When the granary is full, one learns etiquette. Etiquette is only learned after one has eaten one's fill."

Master Xun sighed, then looked at the old dean and said with a narrow smile:

"My old friend, did you come to Xiaoshengxian Manor to scold me for this?"

"Hahaha, Xun Qing is still Xun Qing, but I have another purpose for coming here.

The situation in the Tang Dynasty has changed recently. I believe that although Xiao Shengxianzhuang does not go out, he knows what is going on in the world. He is bold and ambitious.

One of them is to establish the level of schools:

The Jixia Academy was the highest institution of learning, followed by the establishment of higher institutions in the thirteen states, secondary institutions in the counties, primary institutions in the towns, and basic institutions for elementary education, to achieve universal education. '

Xun Qing nodded when he heard this. This was also what he valued most.

Li Shouxi eliminated the threat from the aristocratic families and then made rules as a dictator, which had both advantages and disadvantages.

Even Xunzi couldn't understand what Li Shouxi's purpose was.

"Since Jixia Academy is the highest institution of learning, it is a good thing for old friends."

"What's good? Under normal circumstances, it would be a good thing.

But the establishment of thirteen advanced institutions in the thirteen continents means that the Jixia Academy will be a castle in the air. Especially those poor children can directly take the imperial examination after graduating from the advanced institutions. Who would come to the Jixia Academy for further study?

Once the Jixia Academy participated in the competition, it would have lost the original purpose of establishing the Jixia Academy.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Nian and the other two paused for a moment, and immediately understood the old dean's concerns.

But Xun Qing sat firmly in the center of the army, smiling calmly.

He couldn't help but sneer:

"So my old friend wants to join Little Sage Manor?"

"roll!"

Even though the old dean had practiced for many years, he couldn't help but swear. Then he looked at Fu Nian and the other two and said:

“Since the Jixia Academy is defined as the highest institution of learning, it is naturally not a simple institution of learning.

According to your majesty's definition, the Jixia Academy is a place to cultivate top talents, which is not comparable to ordinary institutions of higher learning. Therefore, it requires absolutely pure scholars who pursue the ultimate quality in a certain kind of knowledge.

If one is fascinated by the mechanical techniques of Mohism and Gongshujia, and has the ability to understand and is eager to study, he can enter the Jixia Academy.

Even if you suddenly have an idea one day and have the ideas to study it, the empire will provide a lot of financial support based on its role and value.

In addition, if there are capable people from the Legalists, Mohists, and Taoists, they can all join the Jixia Academy.

His Highness even set a new grade for this!"

"Oh? What grade?"

The four of them looked at Xunzi curiously. They didn't expect that this was the purpose of the Jixia Academy.

Supporting students to conduct research is obviously intended to cultivate truly professional talents.

“In addition to the high-level graduates, there are also the seventh-rank doctorate, which is equivalent to the starting point of the Jinshi degree, the sixth-rank Taichang doctorate, the fifth-rank bachelor, the fourth-rank Hanlin Academy bachelor, the third-rank university scholar, the second-rank Wenyuan Pavilion university scholar, and the first-rank sub-sage!

The criteria for judging the promotion of bachelor's students are not fixed, but the requirements are extremely strict.

For example, according to the standards for the five classics doctoral students, one must at least be ranked first in the subject each year to be promoted to a doctoral degree;

In order for a doctor to be promoted to a bachelor's degree, he must have achieved extremely high attainments in a certain aspect; a grand scholar is a great scholar in Confucianism, so there is no need for me to explain the judging criteria; the second-rate sage has made an unparalleled achievement in a certain aspect that has benefited the entire Kyushu, and there are only a handful of them.

According to your majesty's request, the Jixia Academy must allow a hundred schools of thought to contend in order to reach the standards of the highest institution of learning!"

fizz

Even Fu Nian was shocked. He didn't expect Li Shouxi to have such great ambition.

"Old man, you want to poach people?"

At this point, the old dean's purpose was already clear.

For a moment, Fu Nian and the other two could not help but look at each other. Fu Nian was the head of Xiao Shengxian Manor, so it was impossible for him to pass through; Zhang Liang was a Korean nobleman before, so it was basically impossible for him to pass through the tricks between the nobles of the six countries.

Therefore, the only candidate is Yan Lu, of course, that is also the case if Yan Lu is willing to go.

"Yan Lu, are you willing?"

"What do you think, uncle?"

Xunzi looked at Yan Lu who was leaning over to ask for advice, and Yan Lu didn't know what to do at this moment.

Because the Jixia Academy was similar to the previous Jixia Academy in Qi State, it was a cradle for cultivating top talents. Mencius, the second sage of Confucianism, Zou Zi, the founder of Yin-Yang School, and even Xunzi, a young man, had studied in the Jixia Academy.

But later the State of Qi declined and the Jixia Academy disappeared!

"A tree that is moved dies, but a person who moves lives!

One has to try his luck, and the Jixia Academy in the Tang Dynasty is not bad."

"Yes, uncle!"

Yan Lu followed Xunzi's advice. Xiao Shengxian Manor had seen many accidents recently, so Xunzi might be looking for a way out for the Manor.

Another thing is that the idea of ​​the Jixia Academy is a good one. The subjects of the Jixia Academy have been completely restored, and it is hoped that the glory of the Jixia Academy will be reproduced.

"Hahaha, don't worry, my friend Yan Lu, you will be treated as a Grand Secretary in the future. I can still make the decision on this point.

In addition to an annual salary of one hundred gold, there are also various imperial benefits, including tea, fine wine, silk and academic application funds.

By the way, there is also the collection of books in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Don't be stingy. If it had been burned down again that day, it would have been gone forever.

It is better to prepare a copy for the Jixia Academy so that everyone can admire and learn together. That is the real purpose of collecting books.

Pass it on to the world, rather than keeping it to yourself!"
