Lin Yanchao said in his heart at this moment, the person who dug the pit for himself should not have expected that not only did he not separate himself from the relationship with the Son of Heaven. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info himself justifiably pulled the tiger skin of the Son of Heaven and participated in this court meeting.

He thought that if he put forward a proposal for the revitalization of culture and education in the journal of deeds, he would eagerly burrow into the trap of taking advantage of the situation, and could not wait to turn his ideas into the country's policy guidelines at the court meeting, and talked a lot about the policy of governance, and then touched the taboo of the Son of Heaven.

In this way, the other party can take advantage of the situation to oust himself from the position of Japanese speaker, of course, even if the proposal proposed by himself can be passed, there is no half of the credit for his own.

Now this person can really be said to have lost his wife and broken his army.

After Lin Yanchao took his seat, Pan Sheng nodded to Lin Yanchao with a smile and said: "Lin Zhongyun, at a young age, he was trusted by the Son of Heaven to participate in the court meeting. ”

This top hat is not to be worn.

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Don't say that, Uncle Zong, it is a great opportunity for the lower officials to attend the hearing, and to hear the insights of your predecessors." The great uncle is the elder of the three dynasties, His Majesty has repeatedly praised the reputation of the great uncle in front of the lower officials, and after the court discussion, the lower officials have no clarity, and please ask the great uncle to give advice. ”

Although Lin Yanchao has a humble official position, he is attending the hearing on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so he is now qualified to sit on an equal footing with Pan Sheng. Now that they listen to Lin Yanchao's words, they also praise everyone present, whether they mean it or not, but everyone is happy to hear it.

Pan Sheng also accepted Lin Yanchao's top hat, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

After a pause, Pan Sheng said: "The court discussion begins, and the idle people are waiting to leave." ”

After Pan Sheng finished speaking, the three heavy copper nail doors of the left door behind him were already closed left and right. The guards were forbidden, and the officials who did not reveal the post immediately left automatically.

The court is not allowed to discuss such national affairs, and no one who has nothing to do with it is not allowed to hear about it.

Pan Sheng's eyes swept over the people under the steps, and then said slowly: "Today's court meeting, including the official, a total of thirty-seven people, you can speak bluntly in person, don't take into account, after the meeting, you vote by name, and I will lead you to play together, if there is a disagreement, it will be listed above the chapter, to the holy ruling, if someone disagrees, you can let it be played." ”

Lin Yanchao listened to Pan Sheng's lecture on the rules of the court meeting, which was still quite democratic (harmonious), and the court adopted a show of hands voting system that was one person, one vote. Each courtier who attends the court meeting has one vote, whether you are a dignified scholar or a low-level official, the validity of the vote in everyone's hand is the same, there is no distinction between high and low.

This can prevent a minister from being arbitrary, and even if an official is not satisfied with the final result of the court meeting, he can also play another report to the Son of Heaven.

For example, the most important decision of the Ming Dynasty in history was the court meeting of 'I answer the tribute'.

At this court meeting, a total of 45 courtiers attended the meeting, 22 courtiers led by Zhang Siwei, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, supported the feudal tribute and mutual market in the court meeting, 17 courtiers led by Zhang Shouzhi, the secretary of the household department, opposed it, and the remaining six ministers held or did not express their position.

After the result of this vote was played to the Son of Heaven, it finally prompted the Son of Heaven to make up his mind to allow the tribute, and since then it has been peaceful for decades for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is just a system, and there are often powerful ministers in court meetings who manipulate court meetings to make them their own words. Especially after allowing the cabinet to participate in the court meeting, such as Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng and other powerful ministers are in the court, which official dares to speak against their will in the court meeting.

Pan Sheng continued: "As for what was discussed in this court meeting, it was clearly stated in the unveiling post, the Ministry of Rites had already discussed it once before, but I foolishly felt that it was a big matter, so I asked the court to discuss it to gather everyone's thoughts. ”

As we all know, there are three situations in which the court meeting is convened, the first is that the Son of Heaven directly orders, the first is that the ministers ask the Son of Heaven to give an order, and the other is that the ministry cannot be decided, so the court is invited.

This is the third case.

The Ministry of Rites had already discussed it before, but Pan Sheng felt that the matter was too big (if something happened, he couldn't take the blame alone), so he asked the Son of Heaven to discuss it (expand the number of people to discuss).

Regarding Pan Sheng's words, Lin Yanchao's first participation in the court meeting was fresh, and he heard a lot of truths. But among the courtiers present, none of them participated in several court meetings.

After all, cultural and educational matters are not a major matter, and they are no more important than the court discussions that have involved many interests in various fields, such as the imperial system, official positions, and military affairs. Except for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they all had the mentality of eating melons, hoping that you would finish your speech early and everyone would call it a day and go home.

Of course, this is very good for Lin Yanchao, a newcomer, since there are few interests involved, then he can strive to promote the passage of a court meeting that is close to his own ideas.

The difficulty of this copy is not too high.

Here's what you have to say.

However, Lin Yanchao thought to himself, although Pan Sheng said that he asked the court to discuss it, most of the other officials did not understand the matter of culture and education, except for the Ministry of Rites, and the specific affairs were not mentioned by your Ministry of Rites in the end?

Sure enough, a ceremonial man came out of the class and said: "I think that the matter of culture and education involves the cultural movement of a country, so it must be solemn." The foundation of culture and education lies in the school, and the foundation of the school lies in the students. Therefore, I think that the imperial court can order the southern and southern kingdoms to increase the number of prisoners by 50, and the two prefectures of Yingtian and Shuntian will have 20 additional students, and each prefecture will have 10 additional students, and the county schools will have 5 additional students. ”

After the words of this ceremonial langzhong, everyone applauded, and the people who ate melons said that they said it well.

Lin Yanchao knew that this move would be beneficial to the officials, and if he advocated it, both the officials and the scholars were applauded and unanimously supported, which was really greatly beneficial to his official reputation, and once this proposal was passed, it became his political achievement, but it only hurt the people.

Pan Sheng asked: "Rank, do you have a different opinion?" ”

A royal historian came out of the class and said: "I think it is impossible, the morale of the world's students is declining, we don't think about how to get rid of the accumulated shortcomings, but expand the number of recruits, this is okay?" For example, if there are 100,000 hectares in a county, and 30,000 people are born, and the land of the people is exempt from military service, so the people are 70,000 as 100,000. If there is a surge in the number of birthers, and the land of birthers is 50,000, then the difference between 50,000 and 100,000 will be poured into 100,000. If there are 90,000 people in the land, then the people will be 10,000 as 100,000 differences, so the land of the people will be more, and the people will be in need. ”

After saying this, the imperial history thought of the hardships of the common people, and suddenly burst into tears, and the tears rolled directly down the court clothes.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the expansion of enrollment staff is different from the expansion of universities in later generations.

In order to support the expansion of university enrollment, the country even canceled the allocation of graduate packages. But could the Ming Dynasty cancel the exemption from taxation and military service in order to expand the number of recruits?

Whoever makes this change will definitely end up worse than Zhang Juzheng!

Many officials had unhappy looks on their faces. Which official has no children and nephews, the same clan, who does not want to be famous.

Naturally, the expansion of the student base will benefit everyone. This should be a person who is very unpopular, so he opposes this view. There were really not many officials present who expressed their understanding and support for this imperial history like Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, who is this imperial historian? Such people deserve to be friends on their own.

"Ma Yushi, this is a mistake!" Where was the opinion of the Ministry of Rite Langzhong who was willing to be denied, and immediately refuted it.

And when Lin Yanchao heard the three words of Ma Yushi, he immediately held his forehead with his hand, and Ma Yushi ...... Isn't this the last time he impeached himself for his 'deviant' words at a scripture feast? This...... This is really bad character.

Lin Yanchao immediately gave up his plan to befriend Ma Yushi afterwards.

But seeing this rite Lang Zhong said: "Scholars are declining, don't you recruit students?" In this way, the imperial court simply didn't even want the scientific examination, which was a waste of food because of choking. The exemption of the land of the students is the support of the heavenly family, so that the scholars can get the grace of heaven, this time the world is clear, and the counties have more than 10,000 acres of land, and some profits are given to the new students, which is being used. ”

Then the two officials argued.

At this time, Pan Sheng first discussed a few words with Zhang Siwei, and then asked Lin Yanchao: "What does Lin Zhongyun think?" ”

Lin Yanchao still said the same sentence: "The qualifications of the lower officials are still shallow, and it has benefited a lot to be able to come to the meeting by the emperor to hear that the adults have high opinions, and I dare not say a word as for the review." ”

Pan Sheng and Zhang Siwei said together: "Eh, Lin Zhongyun should not be modest, you are a close minister of His Majesty, and you will be able to figure out the holy will." Say it, so let's take a closer look. ”

With such a simple routine, Lin Yanchao would not be fooled, so he immediately replied: "Although the lower officials have served the emperor for a while, but Your Majesty's sacred heart is unique, how can I be an ordinary man who can guess the slightest?" Your Majesty's casual thoughts, even if the minister is exhausted, he can't do it in case! It's not that the lower officials refuse to say it, but there is really no way to talk about it. ”

Pan Sheng, Zhang Siwei looked at each other and thought, no wonder this son can be trusted by His Majesty, just say that this shameless sycophant kung fu can at least be among the top ten among the ministers of the court!

Seeing that Lin Yanchao didn't say anything, Pan Sheng and Zhang Siwei could only sigh His Majesty Shengming to end the conversation.

Pan Sheng said: "Both of you are reasonable, this proposal can be included in the reserve, you can step back for the time being." ”

Ma Yushi and Libu Langzhong put aside the argument and retreated.

A member of the Ministry of Rites below, Wai Lang, said: "I think that cultural and educational matters should be given priority to benefit all people. Everyone is accustomed to praise the sages, and the rule of the world is near. I thought that the imperial court could order all the state capitals in the world to choose two or three wealthy counties under its rule, and each county would add two schools of righteousness, and each of them would grant fifty children every year. ”

"In this way, each government can teach two or three hundred more students, and based on the more than 150 prefectures in the world, 350,000 Confucian children can benefit every year, and in the long run, culture and education can flourish."

As soon as the words of this member of the Ministry of Rites came out, many officials nodded one after another, this policy is still quite right, and even Ma Yushi showed a look of approval.

Lin Yanchao frowned, this suggestion is too taken for granted, although it is a bit similar to the original intention of his national education, but the steps are not so crossed.
