Chapter 439 Education Reform (Part 2)
"You've always been lazy, but this time you were tricked by those old tricksters. Do you think this limelight is easy?"
Facing Fang Jun, who is not upright, His Majesty Li Er's words are also somewhat casual. If word spreads that Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng and others are called old slickers, it will definitely cause an uproar...
Unexpectedly, this time, Fang Jun said seriously: "This move will determine the foundation for the next hundred generations. The Tang Dynasty will live in obsolescence, or it will be reborn in the fire. With this move! Even if you know that you will become the target of the conservatives, No matter how many people there are, I will go.”
His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
He had never seen Fang Jun with such a serious and upright attitude, and he thought to himself, could this kid have taken the wrong medicine? The imperial examination was just a means introduced by himself to train the poor scholars to fight against the wealthy families. As for who would preside over it and how it would be presided over, what does it matter?
Even if arithmetic may become a wedge that can stir up the stagnant waters of Confucianism, it cannot reach the level of "living in obsolescence, or being reborn in the fire", right?
"What do you mean by this?" His Majesty Li Er also had to become serious.
Fang Jun said: "Your Majesty must know how powerful Confucianism is in the world. Your Majesty had good intentions from the beginning, cultivating students from poor families to replace those from aristocratic families, so as to achieve the purpose of balance. But have you ever thought about it, in the end, It is possible to take the imperial examination Being controlled by a Confucian family? Once that day comes, there will no longer be a distinction between poor families, only Confucian scholars and non-Confucian scholars, and the situation where hundreds of schools of thought only respect Confucianism will still be abolished. Then what is the meaning of what your Majesty is doing today? ?”
No one knows better than him how terrifying Confucianism is after being castrated and used to rule the people. As long as the imperial examinations are still controlled by Confucianism, all subjects will be heresy. Even if they are not tied up and burned, they will still be severely punished. Bound into dust, never to be able to stand up again!
However, Confucianism, which occupies the moral high ground, will still erode the passionate, bold and enterprising soul of this nation, just like in its previous life, until it becomes numb, its spine is broken, its blood is gone, and it is eventually abandoned by the entire world...
Fang Jun admired Confucianism and Confucius, but he did not think that what he used to rule the people after being castrated was the real Confucianism!
The core of Confucianism should be fraternity, welfare, fairness, justice, honesty, trustworthiness, reform and innovation, civilization, harmony, and the rule of law. It should be enterprising and courageous to explore, and it should be inclusive and inclusive, rather than being a king who calls his ministers dead. I have to die, it’s not about being inferior in everything but being good at reading, and it’s not about eight-legged essays!
Only when a hundred flowers contend can this nation be awakened from its gradual addiction to decadence, and can it stand on top of the world forever!
Therefore, rather than saying that what Fang Jun planned was the imperial examination system, it was better to say that it was the reform of the education system...
Just like the question Fang Jun asked in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, what kind of talents does Datang need?
He is an all-round talent!
Jinshi, Mingjing, and arithmetic... are integrated into one. Only those who are outstanding in each subject can become the future of the Tang Dynasty!
Can you govern the world by just reading the Four Books and Five Classics?
Nonsense!
It’s better to be partial to other subjects...
His Majesty Li Er looked at the young angry young man in front of him and said helplessly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Confucianism is the foundation of the country, but you want me to suppress Confucianism, do you want to promote those military strategists, the Mohist family, the Yin and Yang family? Regardless of your ideas Right and No, if I really do what you said, then when I get up tomorrow morning, I will see the world in chaos! You have to understand that I am indeed afraid of the dominance of the Confucian family, but I will never depose the Confucian family! ”
What's going on in this kid's mind?
So radical!
Without scolding, Fang Jun was not too disappointed...
He is not a fool. Does he hope that with his words, His Majesty Li Er will give up the founding ideas of the past dynasties and attack the invincible Confucianism?
He was just testing to test His Majesty Li Er's true intentions and the possibility of accepting his own thoughts.
If there was no possibility at all, then Fang Jun would immediately resign his official position without hesitation, use his wealth to build a fleet, go overseas to occupy a piece of land, and start a new country from scratch.
If there is even a slight possibility, even if it is just a tiny bit, Fang Jun is willing to do his best to stick to this country and this nation!
Unfortunately, His Majesty Li Er’s words did not make the decision too clear...
In this case, Fang Jun plans to add another fire!
Fang Jun had no expression on his face. He took out another book policy from his sleeve and handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands. Then he knelt down on one knee and said in a sonorous tone: "Wei Chen implores Your Majesty to establish the Datang Academy of Sciences to promote natural science." , establish a military academy to cultivate specialized military talents..."
Having said this, Fang Jun took a deep breath and said as if he were dead: "I implore your majesty to establish a cabinet system and limit the monarch's power!"
There was silence in the Zhengzheng Hall, only the cold wind outside the window whistled.
His Majesty Li Er maintained the posture of taking the book policy with one hand, his eyes widened, his mouth agape, as if he had seen a ghost!
Fang Jun lowered his head like an ostrich and prayed silently in his heart...
It’s okay to test His Majesty Li Er’s tendencies, but it would be tragic if he was killed by this Tyrannosaurus Rex!
I couldn't help but secretly regret it, I still couldn't calm down...
But His Majesty Li Er, who was opposite, was completely stunned.
The Datang Academy of Sciences was established to promote natural science...
Establish a military academy to cultivate specialized military talents...
Not to mention whether he agrees or not, nor whether he understands or not, at least His Majesty Li Er can still feel Fang Jun's daring loyalty to the country.
But...
Establish a cabinet system to limit monarch power?
What is the cabinet system?
The most important thing is to limit the power of the king? !
In an instant, His Majesty Li Er suddenly jumped up like a tiger with its hair exploded. He pounced on Fang Jun like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. With one pounce, he rushed in front of Fang Jun. With one lift, he grabbed Fang Jun by the collar and knocked him to the ground. Scissors, Big Foot kicked Fang Jun regardless of his head or face...
The guards outside the Li Zheng Hall couldn't help but look at each other as they listened to the ping-pong-pong-pong sounds in the hall. They all gave Fang Erlang a thumbs up in their hearts. This guy's courage is beyond words! Every time I come, I have to be kicked a few times by His Majesty to feel comfortable! As for this person’s ability, there’s no telling! Looking around the world, His Majesty Long Yan is furious almost every time he comes to see him. This is indeed rare and rare in the world...
It took a long time before the sound in the hall stopped.
His Majesty Li Er gasped and put his hands on his hips and cursed: "You little bastard, are you going to rebel? How dare you say such rebellious words to me? Do you really think that I am reluctant to kill you? Tell you, I will not only kill you today. , I want to kill your whole family! How could Fang Xuanling teach you such a traitor who has no king and no father? "
As His Majesty Li Er roared, a large group of imperial guards came in and knelt down to listen to the order.
"If you let this bastard out, I'll beat him to death and feed him to the dogs!" His Majesty Li Er was furious.
The guards looked at each other, not knowing whether His Majesty was speaking out of anger or was really planning to do this...
"Are you all deaf? Do you even want to rebel against me?" His Majesty Li Er roared angrily.
"No!" The guards were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed towards Fang Jun, who was bruised and bruised.
Fang Jun saw something bad and rolled on the ground, avoiding the rushing guards, and rolled to the feet of His Majesty Li Er. He hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh tightly and shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life! I am Loyal minister, you cannot feed dogs..."
His Majesty Li Er shook his thigh hard, but he didn't shake it off. He was hugged tightly by this kid, and said angrily: "Okay, don't feed the dog, chop this guy into pieces and throw it into the pond to feed the fish! ”
When the imperial guards saw Fang Jun hugging His Majesty Li Er's thigh tightly, with his nose and tears rubbing on the emperor's thigh, they couldn't help but swallowed, not knowing what to do. At the same time, I secretly wondered how Fang Erlang made His Majesty lose his temper this time. In the past, it was just a few kicks, or at best a few whips and a few slaps. Today, it is both feeding dogs and fishes. It seems that he is really angry...
In a word, Fang Erlang, you are awesome!
Just listen to Fang Jun shouting: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the sun and the moon. If you kill me to feed the fish, it will definitely cause pity from heaven. There is heavy snow outside. I am more unjust than Dou E!" < br>
His Majesty Li Er was furious: "Go to hell! It's snowing outside now..."
Fang Jun softened his tone and said quickly: "Your Majesty, let's take a look at the memorial. If you still think that Wei Chen is a traitor after reading it, he will be killed at any time!"
His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily and shouted: "Well, I will see how you talk nonsense and treason, and I will convince you to death! Someone, give me this animal and put it in the sky prison, and wait until I think of something." The way to die can relieve the hatred in the heart, and then punish him! ”
"No!"
This time, the guards did not dare to delay at all. They pounced on him like a tiger and pried open Fang Jun's fingers one by one as he hugged His Majesty's thigh like a fish. Then, regardless of his heartbreaking cries, he dragged Fang Jun away. Drag away like a dead dog...(End of Chapter)
