Chapter 341 Entering an Official

Chapter 341 Entering an Official

It is undeniable that many of Wang Anshi's political ideas are beyond the times, but what is interesting is that his ultimate goal is to strengthen the centralization of power and the centralization of the monarchy.

He never jumped out of this idea.

Wang Anshi's educational philosophy is to be pragmatic and despise fiction. He believes that the content of the imperial examination is too exaggerated and useless. Therefore, he wants to set up a specialist to train professional talents for the imperial court.

This is such an advanced concept, but his purpose is to obtain talents for the court. He did not consider that society also needs talents. If these talents can use their talents in the market, society can also progress.

On the contrary, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, this group of Qingli ex-officials all hope to limit the centralization of power by the monarch.

For example, Fan Zhongyan tried to apply the ancestor's law directly to the emperor.

To prevent things, and to control them, if your emperor has the final say, this is also a violation of the law of the ancestors.

And the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor ruled the world together, which was actually carried forward by their group of ministers.

Both Fan Zhongyan and Wen Yanbo had a showdown with the emperor, and they directly stated that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together.

Sima Guang actually followed this route.

What is the struggle between innovation and conservatism?

Is it just a political idea?

As for Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, are they only against Wang Anshi?

Not really.

Because it was definitely not Wang Anshi who made them fear the most.

Since ancient times, all party struggles have actually revolved around imperial power.

And Zhang Fei's graduation certificate system is not limited to the imperial court, but to open education to the whole society.

In fact, there is also a hidden idea of ​​​​restricting imperial power.

The imperial examination system is to recruit all the smart people in the world to the emperor's side and become the emperor's people, so that the dragon chair can sit securely.

If education becomes a delivery of talents to the society, it will definitely weaken the imperial power.

It's just that this talent goes to high places, and the water flows to low waters. Being an official is always the most admired by the Chinese nation, and the influence is very limited. It must take a long time to be subtle before it can show some effects.

But this idea is obviously in line with Sima Guang's ruling philosophy.

He also very much advocates the idea of ​​being able to help the world while being poor. In history, after Wang Anshi came to power, he went to repair the general mirror of capital and governance. In fact, Zhao Xu wanted to keep him. As an emperor, he must still To talk about a balance, but Sima Guang resolutely refused.

He came back after Empress Dowager Gao came to power, and he came back again to start liquidating the New Deal.

The same is true for Wang Anshi. During the reigns of Renzong and Yingzong, he also chose to stay away from the central government.

"wonderful!"

Sima Guang excitedly said: "This graduation certificate is really wonderful. Hehe. Zhang San, do you know that you don't know how to teach? Even those of us who are already teachers don't understand education as deeply as you do. ! How does Zhongtu feel?"

Xu Zun nodded with a simple smile.

He is of course very happy when people praise his son-in-law, but it is not easy to boast.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima is too much for the award. The construction of the school and the teaching are two different things, and they should not be confused."

Sima Guang said: "But if we talk about the law, I still believe that your ability is enough to deal with it. This matter is settled like this, don't talk about it any more."

Zhang Fei smiled.

If it hadn't been planned a long time ago, Sima Guang would not have agreed to become an official. In the Song Dynasty, he would either be a science teacher, where one plus one equals two, or he wouldn't be.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

This is indisputable!

Zhang Fei didn't want to talk to those literati every day.

Now that Sima Guang has laid out this path for him, he also knows that he will not stay in the Imperial College for too long, so he can only agree.

After Sima Guang left, Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "Zhang San, Bachelor Sima obviously used teaching to drag you to his side."

Her tone was mixed with joy and sorrow. She had always hoped that Zhang Fei could become an official and show off her talents, but in fact, both Xu Zun and her, Xu Zhiqian, supported Wang Anshi, not Sima Guang.

In Xu Zhiqian's heart, she hoped that Zhang Fei could assist Wang Anshi in his reform.

"I know."

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked Xu Zun, "What do you think, father-in-law?"

Xu Zun stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "In fact, everyone knows that it will only be a matter of time before you become an official. And with your city, I can't teach you much. I only hope that you can Do something."

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Father-in-law, please tell me."

Xu Zundao: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government."

Although he supported Wang Anshi in his heart, he never let his power leave Dali Temple or the current procuratorate. Fan Chunren and Su Shi actually failed to do this well.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this will be very difficult."

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "Why is it so difficult?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her and snorted, "If I want to be an official, how can I start from the ninth rank."

Xu Zunfu nodded with a smile, "As a subject, no matter what position you hold, you are serving the monarch."

Only then did Xu Zhiqian realize it.

Zhang Fei is on Zhao Xu's side. At the beginning, Zhao Xu worked so hard to recruit him, but he definitely didn't want him to be a teaching assistant.

Not to mention Zhao Xu, Wang Anshi also has expectations for him.

Zhang Fei originally wanted to rest at home for a few days, but he was really busy these days, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if Fan Zheng and the others could handle these affairs well without him.

However, at this critical moment, how could he be given a chance to breathe.

On the second day, Lu Huiqing came to the door.

"I don't know why Lu Xiaokan came to visit?" Zhang Fei asked.

Lu Huiqing laughed and said, "You might as well guess."

Facing this person, Zhang Fei didn't dare to be careless, he asked very cautiously: "Could it be because of my going to the Law Academy to give lectures."

Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "This is just one of them, but I'm not here mainly for this."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "I don't know why?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Did you know that since your movable type workshop was built, many people have applied for permission to run newspapers in the court?"

Did something happen over there, I don't know why.Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat, he nodded and said, "I know that."

Lu Huiqing said: "I heard that some people in the DPRK want to run a special newspaper to expound their political ideas, and even attack the political ideas of their teacher, so I also run a newspaper for the New Deal. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, "Lv Xiaokan is really thoughtful, I think this is necessary, even more so than the other party."

Lu Huiqing asked, "Then what's your suggestion?"

The use of newspaper propaganda and the traditional control of public opinion are really not the same thing. Wang Anshi proved this with several failures.

Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said, "Lv Xiaokan still has an impression of the license plate and street invasion."

Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "This happened recently, of course I have an impression."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Has Lu Xiaokan read the news papers that were published at that time?"

Lu Huiqing nodded, "What do you mean, take those rumors and publish them in newspapers, in order to insinuate the bad government of the imperial court, and then lead the people to pay attention to the new policy?"

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "Exactly, but it must be authentic, representative, and the article must be interesting. Especially for a new newspaper, it must attract the people. This is the key. If no one is interested in two or three articles in a row, after that, people won’t even read it.”

Lu Huiqing nodded, and said: "I may need you to help me check this. Neither I nor my mentor can understand the psychology of the people."

Zhang Fei's previous articles, he also thought that it was impossible to become popular, but it turned out...

He really takes this.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "No problem."

Lu Huiqing asked again: "But can you publish some articles by your mentor?"

After the previous few lessons, he is a little apprehensive about publishing Wang Anshi's article now.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Of course it is possible. The public opinion is of course to strive for it, but if it succeeds, it should win over scholars. In fact, what I did before was to use public opinion to win over scholars."

"I understand." Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.

Just at this moment, several people in uniforms suddenly came.

"How many are?"

Zhang Fei looked at them curiously.

The leader said: "We are under the order of Bachelor Sima to send this official document and official uniform to your mansion."

Everyone in Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

I just talked about this yesterday, and he still hasn't given an accurate answer, so the official uniform was delivered today.

This Nima...Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Is this official uniform made so quickly?"

The man immediately said: "The official uniform may not fit well, you should change it yourself immediately."

".!"

Zhang Fei was speechless, is this the treatment from the ninth rank?

Official uniforms have to be changed by themselves.

At this time, Lu Huiqing came over, cupped her hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. This is really gratifying!"

Zhang Fei glanced at Lu Huiqing, you are congratulating me for successfully breaking into the enemy's interior.She smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Then he ordered Li Si to accept these and give some money to the visitor.

After they left, Zhang Fei said to Lu Huiqing: "To be honest with Lu Xiaokan, Bachelor Sima just mentioned this matter to me yesterday. I was still thinking about it, but I never thought that this official document will be delivered today, and officials appointed by the imperial court will have to pay attention to it." Is it that rough?"

There is really no sense of ceremony when this is an official.

An official document, an official uniform.

Gone.

It just feels unreal.

Lu Huiqing said with a chuckle: "Of course this is a special case, but it's no wonder. Bachelor Sima is very worried about your joining the Department of Regulations of the Second Mansion. As long as you let go, he will definitely step up the whip and make this matter real first."

Could it be that Old Sima did this to confuse his opponent?Zhang Fei muttered to himself, because Sima Guang knew that he was definitely on his side, so he pretended to be worried: "But I don't know much about lectures. I really don't know if this arrangement is reasonable."

Lu Huiqing frowned slightly and said: "It is indeed unexpected for me to ask you to go to the Imperial College for training, but with your eloquence, I believe it will not be difficult for you, and it will not be long before Bachelor Sima will transfer you to the Imperial College. place."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Don't worry Lu Xiaokan, I will never let them destroy the Easy New Law."

Lu Huiqing nodded with a smile and said, "My mentor and I trust you very much. As long as you go to a local government, your mentor will find a way to promote you."

Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."

 Today I started to resume the two shifts. To tell you the truth, it has become more and more difficult for me to socialize after staying at home for so many years. I often sit at the wine table in a daze. After ten days, I really feel exhausted, as if Where did you travel.

If I had to choose, I'd rather code at home.

Yesterday I also thought about it, and it seems that there are only two choices, either to go further into the deep house and gradually reduce the social interaction with others, or to go out and walk more to exercise my social skills.
