Chapter 255 The Song people lost too much, and my hometown became a frontier fortress!
The main hall of Hanlin Academy.
Xia Zhibai strolled in.
Liu Sanwu, Huang Zhang and other bachelors looked at Xia Zhibai with complicated expressions.
They were opposed to Xia Zhibai from the bottom of their hearts. After hearing that the imperial court had agreed to the salt policy, they were extremely reluctant to be selected by Xia Zhibai. However, when they saw that they really were not there, they felt inexplicable. Somewhat unhappy, even a touch of strange anger and dissatisfaction emerged.
They were in the same Hanlin Academy as Xia Zhibai.
When Xia Zhibai chooses people, normally he should give priority to Hanlin bachelors.
As a result, Xia Zhibai chose no one.
Although each of them was secretly relieved after hearing this result, they also felt that Xia Zhibai was very disrespectful. As Hanlin bachelors, they had both ability and political integrity, and they had great reputations even in the world. Xia Zhibai still looked down upon him.
It’s really ridiculous.
Xia Zhibai ignored him at all.
These bachelors from Hanlin Academy are indeed talented and knowledgeable.
But too old.
Many ideas are deeply ingrained.
Putting these people around is completely causing trouble for yourself.
In particular, these people also like to quote scriptures and criticize Huaihuai in various ways. Xia Zhibai will never bring trouble to himself. He has never considered Liu Sanwu and others from the beginning. The only candidate he has considered is Fang Xiaoru. Finally, after thinking about it, he gave up. .
Fang Xiaoru is also not suitable.
The head is too strong.
Furthermore, once you accept a truth, even nine cows can't pull it back. If such a person is used well, he can indeed be a great help, but if he is not used in the right position, he will only get himself into trouble. , things in the south are complicated, and he will not think about causing trouble again.
Xia Zhibai summoned all the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy together.
He stood on the third step and said loudly: "The imperial court has issued an edict, asking me to follow Duke Xin and the envoy Jiang Wei to go south in the near future. Therefore, I will trouble you all about compiling the tutorial."< br>
Xia Zhibai bowed to the scholars below.
Liu Sanwu and others stroked their beards and nodded coldly.
Xia Zhibai glanced at the bottom indifferently, and then said: "As for the history, I would like to remind you that when writing about the Song Dynasty, you should not overly praise the so-called literati politics, but also belittle it. "
"You also know the reason."
"In the past, many literati praised frontier poems. I don't recommend including too many of them."
"After all."
"As a northerner, I don't want to lose too much because of the Song people. My hometown has become a frontier fortress.”
“I don’t even hope that the students after the Ming Dynasty will really think that the south is always the most important, and really naively think that Chang’an is outside the pass. I firmly do not approve of it, and I also firmly resist it. "
"I do not hope that one day, when mentioning emperors such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, they will become people outside the Guanzhong."< br>
"Isn't this Mr. Xiu? There are also the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan in the north. They are the co-leaders of China's civilization. We must not abandon the co-leaders of China's civilization because of some people's selfishness."< br>
“The Ming Dynasty inherited the Great Yuan Dynasty.”
“Then it should inherit the legal system of the Great Yuan Dynasty.”
“That is, the Song Dynasty was parallel to the Xixia and Liao Dynasties, and was in a period of division. ."
"The Song Dynasty must not be the dominant one in the book."
Xia Zhibai's attitude is very tough.
Because these scholar-officials have too many problems writing books.
Various admiration for the Song Dynasty.
I almost praised the Song Dynasty in words.
But those who really know history know that the Song Dynasty is not worthy of praise at all. Even the homeland of China was completely lost, and even the resting place of the ancestors was occupied. The entire frontier fortress poem, at a glance It’s still Guazhou Ferry and Dashan Pass.
When did Guazhoudu and Dashanguan become frontier fortresses in history?
Isn’t this the opposite effect?
He didn’t want to go south and come back to see these things in the books compiled by these people. It would be too torture. The Song Dynasty was a period of division. This was a certainty. He must explain it clearly to these scholar-officials.
Hearing Xia Zhibai’s words, the bachelor below was a little commotion.
I just didn’t dare to refute it.
Because what Xia Zhibai said was true, no matter how much they disagreed, they could not deny that the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan were the co-owners of China, and they could not deny that the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties were located in Guanzhong in history.
Any comparison can reveal the problems of the Song Dynasty.
It’s just that they did admire the Song Dynasty, especially the popular style of the Song Dynasty, sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.
This is the common vision of literati all over the world.
Wouldn’t it be a joke to list the Song Dynasty as a period of division, because it was not even a unified dynasty, and it was already a huge failure. How can people believe this? Is it right?
Xia Zhibai said coldly: "It's normal for you to have your own preferences."
"But don't cross the line!"
"The teaching materials you compiled are for the world."
“I’m not letting you brag here and mix your own preferences here.”
“If you are still so self-righteous and disapproving, I will request the imperial court to change the editor. Qualified scholars are recruited from all over the world. I believe there will be many scholars willing to come to compile such important books, even books that will leave a name in history.”
Hear the words.
The faces of Huang Zhang and others changed slightly. Huang Zhang was dissatisfied and said: "Master Xia, what you said is serious."
"Teaching is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Your insistence on unification is rebellious, and now you are trying to restrict me. Wait, isn’t this a dictatorship in the past? Then why do you want us to compile the book? Why don’t you do it yourself?”
“The Song Dynasty was inherently bad.”
"But it was indeed a prosperous age for world governance."
"Furthermore, the Song Dynasty was very close to the Ming Dynasty, and there are more relevant historical materials and books left behind. Why not put a certain emphasis on the Song Dynasty?"
"Then add more Xixia and Liao as well." Xia Zhibai said lightly.
Xia Zhibai looked at Huang Zhang sarcastically and said indifferently: "Xixia and Liao are not far from the Ming Dynasty, and there are historical materials compiled by the Yuan Dynasty. The information is also very sufficient, not to mention that the Liao Kingdom has Yelu The story of Dashi's Western Expedition can be written in a special way. The Song Dynasty emphasized literature, and other aspects of military affairs are also important.
"And"
"I am the chief planner of the book compilation."
"Everything is based on the outline of the book compilation provided by me."
Xia Zhibai doesn't want to at all Don't waste too much time talking about these things with Huang Zhang.
A complete waste of time.
He continued: "Now the textbook compilation is on the right track, but there are still many aspects that can be improved. Therefore, I will propose to the court to further extend the compilation time. The textbook compiled by the Ming Dynasty is to bring order to chaos and to bring order to the world. People have re-recognized the glory of the Han people."
"The cultural and martial arts of the Han people are shocking in the past."
"This is to make the people living in this land regard this as a symbol. "Rong."
"It is not to create resentment and dissatisfaction."
"What's more, even the people of the Song Dynasty admit that they are the same as the Northern and Southern Dynasties."
"Where did you get the confidence to dominate the Song Dynasty?"
"Besides."
"This time when I go south, I will also look for some rich and famous scholars, and I will join them when the time comes. Recommended to the Hanlin Academy, maybe they will also compile books with you. In addition to scholars from the south, I will also look for scholars from the north. These teaching materials are for the Ming Dynasty."
"Not for the Ming Dynasty. Catering to one place.”
“Teaching materials are strictly prohibited from being submitted without my consent”
Finished.
Xia Zhibai waved his sleeves and said no more to these people.
Huang Zhang and others were filled with anger.
How could Xia Zhibai discuss this with them?
Clearly a notification.
Moreover, they directly denied their results without any reason or basis, and even tried to force them to submit and let them follow Xia Zhibai's ideas. Wouldn't this kill their enthusiasm?
Huang Zhang said angrily: "This yellow-mouthed boy is so arrogant."
"Isn't it just that he was appointed as a bachelor by His Majesty? He can be so arrogant. Before, he thought he was just relying on his talent. , I never thought that it was not the case at all, just simple arrogance, not very knowledgeable, only knowing about some heresy, and unable to listen to dissuasion. I am ashamed to be in the company of this person."
Huang Zhang was shocked with anger. Xiu, he left the Hanlin Academy directly.
Others also looked unhappy.
Xia Zhibai had openly denied them.
How can they have a good face?
After giving instructions, Xia Zhibai turned around and walked towards the side hall.
Why does he want to get angry?
It’s just that people like Huang Zhang are going too far.
It's just a matter of touting the Song Dynasty as a "prosperous age of kingship" without even mentioning the humiliation the Song Dynasty suffered.
This is still the case for him in the Hanlin Academy now. After he goes south, with the magnanimity of people like Huang Zhang, I don’t know how many changes he will make in private. It is even very possible that he will submit these teaching materials behind his back and prepare them in advance. Just promote it.
How could he let them succeed?
Think of these.
Xia Zhibai also shook his head secretly.
Although the literati politics of scholar-bureaucrats since the Song and Ming Dynasties have been highly praised by later generations, if we look at it in detail, it is actually backwards compared to the clan politics of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Xia Zhibai is actually aware of this situation.
In the final analysis, the upward channels of the Tang and Song Dynasties changed.
In the Tang Dynasty, military service could still be used to gain wealth, but in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination became the most cost-effective way.
But among this group of literati who only focus on reading books from sages and sages, how many of them really know how to govern a country? How many people have really cared about people's livelihood? They are all busy consolidating their own power and making money for their own family. They are always thinking about it at the local level, and their thoughts are on political struggle and party struggle. Intense and unprecedented.
The world is governed by a chaotic atmosphere.
Throughout the history of the Song and Ming dynasties, the so-called literati politics have always been a mess.
The peak period of the Ming Dynasty was purely a personal show of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di and his son, but even so, the four counties of Hexi still did not occupy all, and the Silk Road to communicate with the outside world was also disconnected. The entire northwest was more It was so bad that they even took the initiative to lure Qing troops into the pass in the future.
If this was only the case in the Song Dynasty, it would still be the case in the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to prove that this is a systemic problem.
It also fundamentally proves that literati politics is fundamentally rotten.
Because it deviates from reality.
If the Ming Dynasty does not correct its direction, the magical scene in history when the Qing troops entered the country will one day happen again.
He must correct this mess.
Solve it from the root!
Textbooks are the first step to clearing things up.
