Chapter 1200: It's Not a Small Thing

Su Tiancheng thinks about big things such as internal construction and conquest, but he will not forget some small things that do not seem to be very big, and he also has his own unique views on dealing with these things.

The captured Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun were not abused, and they did not enter the prison, but they were placed under house arrest in the official post, and their daily lives were also taken care of.

Some officials believe that Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun must be severely punished, which is a warning to the Ming court, warning those officials that going against the Great Jin Dynasty is such an end, and some officials believe that the two should not be punished severely, after all, the identities of the two are not ordinary, and Qian Qianyi is still regarded as a leader by scholars.

As for Huang Tingping and the three of them, not many people pay attention to them, the identities of these people are just the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the officials of the Seven Grades, and no one will care about them.

How to deal with Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun, on the surface, it seems that it is a matter of the Great Jin Dynasty, and no one else will have any big opinions if any measures are taken, but Su Tiancheng does not see it this way, he knows very well the influence of Donglin Academy, at least among the scholars, there is a lot of influence, if history does not change, the strength of the Donglin Party, and even directly affects the government and politics, can decide the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet, but for so many years, Su Tiancheng, who has crossed through, has not much interest in Donglin Academy, even had a lot of negative views, and tried every means to divide and suppress the Donglin Party. It was only then that the Donglin Party collapsed and could not play a lot of roles.

Widely open schools, this is what Su Tiancheng must do after unifying the world, it is necessary to let more elites enter the ranks of officials, and let more fresh blood be injected into the body of the Great Jin. Only in this way can the Great Jin Dynasty be full of vitality and continue to be strong, and these officials who have entered the imperial court one after another must have some civilian ideas and must clarify the basic concept of service.

Nanjing, as the base camp of Donglin Academy, has always been a place where literati and students are concentrated, Beijing is the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing can be described as a cultural center. To manage a special and complex place like Nanjing, it is not enough to rely on iron and blood, but also to rely on some other means.

Before preparing to start the expedition, Su Tiancheng considered that he needed to deal with the affairs of Qian Qianyi, Cao Huachun and others.

After discussing with many prime ministers, Su Tiancheng made up his mind.

Qian Qianyi was first taken to the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing the palace in Nanjing, Qian Qianyi's expression was very strange, with an expression that he wanted to cry but couldn't cry. Seeing Qian Qianyi's expression, Su Tiancheng didn't feel strange. This is the manifestation of Qian Qianyi's true mentality, and Su Tiancheng can almost conclude that in the course of this conversation, Qian Qianyi will definitely take refuge in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng is already the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and after Qian Qianyi saw Su Tiancheng, he had to kneel and kowtow according to the rules. Su Tian didn't care much about this kind of kneeling and kowtowing etiquette, but Zhu Xianxuan and others insisted on it, after all, the times are different.

The moment he entered the Qianqing Palace, Qian Qianyi hesitated slightly, lowered his head and slowly knelt down. He just didn't speak.

Su Tiancheng has a smile on his face, his inner feelings are not easy to say, since ancient times, the evaluation of readers is varied, some people say that readers have the hardest bones, and some people say that readers are the most knowledgeable about current affairs.

"Lord Qian, let's be even."

Qian Qianyi slowly stood up, lowered his head, and still didn't speak.

"I see that Lord Qian's complexion is not bad, during this time, because there are a lot of things, I don't care about Lord Qian, I still feel a little guilty, Lord Qian is a great Confucian, and he is supported by many scholars as the leader of the scholars, and he is also a cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar of the Ministry of War, and he is in a high position, and I hope to be able to understand my negligence."

Qian Qianyi raised his head, and a panicked expression appeared on his face.

"The grass people don't dare, the king is defeated, the grass people have the trust of the court, and as for the matter of learning, the grass people dare not be arrogant."

With a smile on his face, Su Tiancheng stood up and walked in front of Qian Qianyi.

"Lord Qian doesn't have to be too humble, my views on many things have always been one thing to say, Lord Qian's knowledge is real, and the influence of Donglin Academy in the Ming Dynasty is not small, I once founded the Zhongxing Society, and I deeply understand the difficulties, but I have some feelings."

Qian Qianyi never imagined that when he came to the Qianqing Palace and saw Su Tiancheng, he was actually discussing these things, not the punishment he imagined, and he was a little confused at this time, and he didn't know what the purpose of today's meeting was.

"The school is a place to teach and educate people, but unfortunately the schools everywhere are almost all run by the government, all the readers, who have been instilled with the idea since childhood, is to study hard in the cold window, that is, to serve the imperial court, once after high school, famous all over the world, I also came from this road, as a scholar, if you can't achieve fame, it is considered the biggest failure, and I have no shame to say that I am a real scholar, I thought of this, this kind of reading concept is not good, after all, reading is not necessarily completely for fame."

After Su Tiancheng said this, Qian Qianyi almost forgot that he was a prisoner, and he couldn't help but speak.

"The minister thinks that this is not appropriate, the ambition of the reader, is the heart of the family and the country, the first world worries, the world is happy, the temple is high and the people are worried, and the rivers and lakes are far away, if the scholars have given up their ambitions, the minister does not know what role the reading can have."

After saying these words, Qian Qianyi suddenly felt that something was wrong, he was originally a sinner, and he dared to argue with Su Tiancheng in the Qianqing Palace, wouldn't this be asking for trouble.

However, Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face and did not lose his temper.

"What Lord Qian said is also reasonable, the scholars in history are all aimed at revitalizing the country and showing their own ambitions, and this understanding cannot be said to be wrong, but I feel that the role of reading is multifaceted, and entering the court as an official is just one aspect, I recently carefully studied "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and wrote very well, to say that Shi Naixi and Luo Guanzhong were not able to enter the officialdom, but the written works left behind were enough to influence the world, as well as Xu Hongzu, who died a few years ago, left "Xu Xiake's Travels", I also read it carefully, only to know that there are so many delicate rivers and mountains. ”

"The people I talked about, aren't they scholars, they are also scholars, but they are not officials, and they are also famous through the ages, but unfortunately the world's opinion of them is regretful, thinking why they have not been able to enter the officialdom, I don't see it this way, if these people enter the officialdom, they may not be able to leave such achievements."

"What I mean is that there are still some scholars who devote themselves to learning, they don't have to enter the imperial court, they don't have to be officials, and in addition, the world should not measure the achievements of every scholar by whether they are officials or not, I have thought about it, even in daily life, scholars can always understand things, isn't it good."

When Su Tiancheng said this, Qian Qianyi finally understood the meaning, and he didn't gain a reputation like this.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi didn't speak, Su Tiancheng continued to speak.

"What I mean is that there are a lot of scholars, and the imperial court can still provide them with money, these scholars, who concentrate on academic research, or teach and educate people, they have also made contributions to the imperial court, and the imperial court cannot forget them."

Although he doesn't particularly agree with Su Tiancheng's point of view, Qian Qianyi knows that Su Tiancheng means that he should concentrate on his studies and not think about things in the officialdom.

Although I am a little disappointed, it is not a bad thing to be academic, and I can still be respected by the world.

Just when Qian Qianyi was still pondering, Su Tiancheng said that he had reached the key place.

"I have always had a very good impression of Donglin Academy, not that Donglin Academy has any big problems, I just think that Donglin Academy, as a place to teach and educate people, try to participate in the affairs of the imperial court as little as possible, and cultivate excellent readers. You can put forward your own views on the gains and losses of the government, but don't think that everything is right, whether it is the common people, or the court officials, or even the court, you must do things according to his ideas, that is the right thing, and if you fall into this strange circle, you can't study well. ”

After saying this, Su Tiancheng looked at Qian Qianyi.

"I don't know what Lu Dao meant, if Lord Qian understands."

"I see."

"Okay, I don't expect Lord Qian to be able to figure everything out in such a short period of time, there are some truths, Lord Qian will think about it slowly, as for the next arrangement, Lord Zhu and Lord Yang will talk to Lord Qian, what specific ideas are there, or what suggestions are there, Lord Qian just said."

Cao Huachun was not taken to the Qianqing Palace, Huang Tingping was the same person, and Su Tiancheng would not see him, how to arrange Cao Huachun, it was a headache for Su Tiancheng, and in the end he accepted Zhu Xianxuan's suggestion and let Cao Huachun enter the palace to help manage the internal affairs of the palace.

Reform is difficult, land reform has made Su Tiancheng have a profound experience, many things can only be done slowly, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, even the emperor can't do it, and he can't do it. (To be continued......)
