"Fifty boards!"
Fiji and Pang Yukun exclaimed at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pang Yukun rubbed his nose, which was still hurting, and said, "Your Majesty, Song Guogong is old, wouldn't it cost him his life to go down these fifty boards." ”
Song Guogong suddenly understood the seriousness of the matter at this time, his body couldn't stop shaking slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Your Majesty, the minister just drank wine, he was confused at that time, the emperor spared his life, the emperor spared his life." Song Guogong kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even if he was young and strong, he couldn't get out of bed for three months.
If he were to him, it would be no different from taking his life.
Xiao Ming's eyes were cold, if it was five years ago, he might have been merciful, but now he gradually understood a truth, the kindness of a king's woman is unkindness to the world.
And his unkindness is sometimes the great benevolence to the world, such as the current matter, if he spares Song Guogong, this royal family will become more and more unscrupulous, punishing Song Guogong is not only beneficial to the court, but also beneficial to the people, these privileged classes in Qingzhou City rampant domineering is a serious constraint to development.
Therefore, he didn't look at Song Guogong, and said to the surrounding officials and onlookers: "Since I ascended the throne, I have issued an edict to govern the country according to law, down to the people of Li, up to the Son of Heaven, and the offenders are treated equally. ”
The guards received the order and immediately carried Song Guogong to the East City, and the voice of Song Guogong begging for mercy was constantly heard along the way.
Fiji and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, at this moment Xiao Ming's image in their hearts became more and more different, in their opinion, compared with the previous emperor, this new monarch has a more resolute and murderous aura.
Disposed of Song Guogong, Xiao Ming said to Fiji and Pang Yukun: "You are still cabinet ministers, have you forgotten what I said?" In the future, if there are royal relatives who rely on the royal family to make trouble, they will all come according to the law. “
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fiji and Pang Yukun bowed down and said, in the past, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but now Xiao Ming gave them a Shang Fang sword.
After a pause, Xiao Ming said to the two: "I trust you by handing over the affairs of the country to the two of you, and you only need to be responsible for me, and anyone else dares to obstruct you, and it will be dealt with according to law." ”
"The emperor has the world in his heart, Ze is born by the common people, and everyone is treated equally, and the emperor is the virtuous lord in Dayu, and he will definitely be able to prosper in the future." Fiji was moved and praised loudly.
Xiao Ming smiled, and he said: "It's better to shoot less, this time the two of you in the court will spare no effort to implement it, and I am afraid that I will personally go to the students to teach during this time." ”
"The emperor is going to go in person again?" Pang Yukun hesitated for a moment, Xiao Ming was the vassal king in the past, and now Xiao Ming is the emperor, and there has never been an emperor in person to teach the industry.
However, Xiao Ming used to go to Bowen College often, and he was not too surprised.
Compared with Pang Yukun, Fiji can't stay calm, he advised: "The emperor's government affairs are already busy, and with these cumbersome things, the ministers are afraid that the emperor will be tired, and I hope that the emperor will focus on the dragon body." “
Xiao Ming had already made up his mind, he would not compromise with the two of them in this matter, and now that the north has finally entered a period of peaceful development, this is the time for him to make full use of the science and technology spar.
Although it is believed that the firearms are now on par with the West, or even slightly victorious, the social level of the Great Chongqing is still much behind that of the West.
So he is ready to go into battle in person this time, and through study and practice in the past five years, he has cultivated a group of talents with a solid foundation.
Now this group of people needs his guidance to go further.
"The two elders don't have to worry, I have my own plans in my heart, these things are just talking about it, and I am not tired of it, but the implementation of this change requires the two of you to inspect the people in time."
"The emperor works tirelessly, what is it for the ministers to endure this hardship." Pang Yukun said sincerely.
Xiao Ming nodded, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there are traitors under the faint king, Xiao Ming is not as good as practicing it himself if he says it ten thousand times.
When the officials saw it, they naturally took it to heart.
After talking to the two again, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu walked towards the Bowen College, the last time the Ministry of Culture and Education had been officially established, and the head of the Ministry of Culture and Education had also been elected.
This person's name is Chao Zhengwen, a native of Qingzhou, Chinese New Year's Eve, and was once a private teacher.
After the establishment of the Bowen College five years ago, he entered the academy to study, and he has always been unknown, because he did not study government affairs or technology, but literature and education.
Later, "Qingzhou Daily" was founded, and this Chao Zhengwen submitted his own manuscripts to the newspaper from time to time, which gradually attracted Xiao Ming's attention.
Because what he contributed was nothing else, it was the current imperial examination problem in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
After reading the books written by Xiao Ming, coupled with his understanding of the current world situation, he asserted that the imperial examination needed to be reformed, and proposed many specific reform measures.
At this time, Xiao Ming also had the idea of establishing the Ministry of Culture and Education, so he selected Chao Zhengwen as soon as possible and appointed him as the academic administrator of the Ministry of Culture and Education.
When the two arrived at Bowen Academy, Chao Zhengwen, who had been notified, was already waiting in front of the students.
At this time, the plaque of Bowen College was being taken down, a plaque of Qingzhou University.
"The Ministry of Culture and Education, Xue Zhengchao, see the emperor."
"Excuse me!" Xiao Ming said to Chao Zhengwen, and he continued; "Do you know why I changed the name of Bowen College to Qingzhou University?"
Chao Zhengwen said; "The word university is from Zengzi's book "University", in this article Zengzi put forward the way of the university, in the Ming Mingde, in the people, in the end of the good, and put forward the eight items of Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, if the minister did not guess wrong, the emperor changed the college to a university, so that the students of the university remembered that what they learned was for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the people."
Xiao Ming nodded, "What you said is right, this is exactly what I mean, the way of the imperial examination is only to be able to enter the hall one day, the position is extremely popular, the pattern is too small, and this Qingzhou University will be a place where a hundred flowers bloom, and the imperial examination must also conform to the times." ”
Chao Zhengwen said: "It is precisely because of this that the minister proposed the method of cultural and educational reform, abolishing the bad habit of only examining the four books and five classics in the imperial examination, and instead listed the four books and five classics as one subject, similar to physics, chemistry, mathematics, water conservancy, astronomy, etc., and completely changed the shortcomings of the officials of the Great Yu State who could only read four books and five classics." ”
Xiao Ming smiled, Chao Zhengwen said that it is the shortcomings of the selection of officials for thousands of years, in the country of Chongqing, a county order often has limited skills, but it has assumed the responsibilities equivalent to the modern mayor, police chief, procurator general, finance director, and construction director.
This cultural and educational reform will completely eliminate this method of selecting officials.
