Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 335: Talking about people when you see people, talking about people when you see ghosts
Chapter 335 Talking to people when you see them, talking to ghosts
Sima Guang is a very principled person. He will never let Zhang Fei do anything wrong just because he values Zhang Fei more. When he first heard about this, he was also very annoyed and felt that this kid was lawless. .
You, a businessman in your twenties, want to change the country's education through donations. This is simply the most serious act of bribery.
It is not too much to kill.
Confucianism really attaches great importance to education.
But I heard that Zhang Fei's purpose was to donate to litigation studies, so he felt that this is understandable, it is indeed a charity.
Because in terms of judicial reform, the current imperial court really needs to train more judicial talents. , causing the status of forensics to become pivotal.
Use rigid laws flexibly.
As far as this point is concerned, Zhang Fei is absolutely capable of participating in the compilation of litigation textbooks.
The key point is that Sima Guang originally planned to ask him to help.
As Zhang Fei himself said, he contributed both money and effort to serve the country wholeheartedly.
But Sima Guang, who was cautious, did not immediately open his eyes to Zhang Fei. He still had to discuss it with the ministers.
Can this precedent be set?
It is possible to ask Zhang Fei to provide assistance in litigation education, or even directly let Zhang Fei work in the Imperial College, but this is not possible.
After all, this method has never been used before.
Sima Guang was very cautious, and he would never make a judgment.
"Oh Grand Master Wang?"
Zhang Fei, who had just been kicked out by the court, met Wang Anshi on the way.
"You can really make a fuss."
When Wang Anshi saw Zhang Fei, he laughed.
The limelight of the New Deal was once taken away by Zhang Fei. Recently, things have finally returned to the right track. The court and China have been debating the New Deal. Wang Anshi also thought that there must be nothing wrong with Zhang Fei during this period, but he never thought about it. , Zhang Fei came up with this kind of thing again.
Suddenly attracted the attention to the past.
Zhang Fei immediately said with an aggrieved face: "I go through fire and water for the University of Wang, and the University of Wang still laughs at me, what a cruel world!"
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You have to give evidence for what you say, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
He was very surprised when he heard this before.
I was also shocked by this kid's behavior.
Good guy!
This face-to-face meeting directly turned the pot over. You must know that Zhang Fei treated Sima Guang like this last time.
He will not be easily fooled.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Zhang Fei explained: "Scholar Wang doesn't know why so many ministers in the DPRK oppose the new policy. Are they all for their own self-interest?"
Wang Anshi frowned slightly and asked, "Then why did you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because since ancient times, benevolence and righteousness have been advocated first, but the new policy of Master Wang puts great profit first, and they will naturally oppose it. This is more of a dispute of ideas."
Wang Anshi let out a long sigh, and said with emotion: "The bad governance of the country all stems from profit. If profit is not important, how can we prescribe the right medicine to the case."
He is deeply educated in Confucianism, doesn't he value benevolence and righteousness?
He has been an official for many years, and he is alone. When he was an official in a local area, he also benefited one party. His personal morality is impeccable, and his talent is rare in the world. Isn't this kind of courtier what Confucians want to see? of it?
It can be seen that it is not that he does not value benevolence and righteousness, but that he hopes to prescribe the right medicine. The problem of the country is that there is no money.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "But there is no textbook that agrees with Wang Xueshi's philosophy. The talents cultivated by such textbooks will only provide a steady stream of enemies for the New Deal. If it does not change, in my opinion, it will still be It is impossible to avoid the situation of death and government.”
Wang Anshi couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei in surprise.
How could he not be aware of this problem? In fact, in history, he has reformed education. If he can succeed in this education reform, it is estimated that he can really change the direction of history.
Because he is advocating the idea of being practical in the world, having both civil and military skills, having expertise in learning, and consistent learning and application.
At the same time, he is looking for talents who can finance and organize the army, enrich the country and strengthen the army, not those corrupt scholars who usually talk about their hearts and minds, and die to repay the king when they are in danger.
He believes that the imperial court attaches too much importance to articles nowadays, which makes the thoughts of scholars bound. However, many Confucian knowledge is useless, but other useful knowledge is squeezed so that there is no room for survival, such as medicine, arithmetic, Martial arts, even science.
During his administration, he strengthened the education of medicine, mathematics, martial arts and other majors.
It can be seen that he is very clear about one truth, that is, education comes first in political reform.
The problem with him is that if he said this bluntly, and he still did it like this, then the consequences are naturally predictable.
But at this moment, Zhang Fei's words have touched his heart, it really coincides with what he thinks!
"Why is Master Wang looking at me like this?" Zhang Fei asked pretending to be anxious.
He knew that Wang Anshi had such a plan, so he dared to say that. He and Sima Guang didn't dare to say that.
Wang Anshi closed his eyes, and asked excitedly: "I don't know what you plan to do?"
Zhang Fei explained: "My original intention is not to change the current teaching materials, but to pursue education in other fields, such as mathematics, law, medicine, martial arts, etc.
Because I think that the talent in the current imperial court is too single. For example, in terms of finance, the talents of many officials are not as good as those of businessmen. However, the country is a very complicated structure, and it is impossible to use a single knowledge to deal with all question. "
"Wonderful! Wonderful! That's really good!"
Wang Anshi was elated when he heard that, he clapped his palms and praised, if he can find a confidant in life, it would be a great joy, he didn't even care about making a fool of himself, and asked anxiously: "What did you and Sima Jun really say? "
Zhang Fei said: "I just said that I intend to donate to the education of litigation. After all, this is my strong point. If I say this, it will not arouse suspicion."
After Wang Anshi heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Fei vigilantly, thinking, this kid is talking nonsense to others, he is talking nonsense.
You tell Sima Guang to donate to litigation, and I tell you to donate to mathematics.
Which one is true?
Wang Anshi caressed his beard for a while, then suddenly sighed, "The matter of education is related to the foundation of the country. It is easy to say, but hard to do! No wonder you, you'd better protect yourself before talking about it."
The implication is that since you are talking about donating to litigation studies, then you should donate to litigation studies first. As for arithmetic and medicine, forget it.
Zhang Fei's heart is like a mirror. The old man was actually testing himself, so he said: "If I can't achieve my goal, I might as well not donate. After all, my money didn't come from the wind."
Wang Anshi asked calmly: "I don't know what you plan to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "I believe that Bachelor Sima will definitely support me. Our Dasong Charity Foundation will donate to Guozijian to increase litigation subjects, and this will be of great help to Sima's judicial reform. Bachelor Wang Wouldn't you be envious and jealous?"
Wang Anshi snorted, "Am I that kind of person?"
You got it! Zhang Fei disagreed: "Scholar Wang must be, if not, then my plan will not be successful."
Wang Anshi was stunned, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "My plan is, after the Grand Master Sima persuades the Imperial College to accept our donation, you, the Grand Master Wang, will start to express your dissatisfaction with all kinds of envy and envy, and demand that our Da Song Charity Foundation, Also donate to the subjects you need for reform, such as mathematics, medicine, martial arts, etc.
For the Da Song Charity Foundation, if the bowl of water is not level, it will only be worth the loss. After all, Master Wang is now deeply trusted by the officials, and he cannot afford to offend it!
In this way, Bachelor Wang can imperceptibly promote education reform. "
Wang Anshi's eyes flashed sharply.
He was actually trying to test Zhang Fei just now, if you play for a long time, you will only donate to litigation studies, which proves that you are fooling me.
I have to say that Zhang Fei's move is really wonderful. Once Sima Guang asks Guozijian to accept donations from the Song Dynasty Charity Foundation to strengthen the education of legal talents, then he has a reason to play it, not only for charity The foundation needs a bowl of water, but the imperial court also needs a bowl of water. Could it be that my new policy is an illegitimate child, and I also need talents!
"Hehe. Your kid's idea is really hard to guard against!" Wang Anshi pointed at Zhang Fei and scolded with a smile, and then asked: "But what are you planning?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "First of all, of course I also hope that our Song Dynasty will have a prosperous country and a strong army. Secondly, I also want to be safe."
"Safe?"
"Good."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I have told Master Wang before that most businessmen donate to the Da Song Charity Foundation for the purpose of avoiding taxes, not for the country and the people. At the same time, I also assure Master Wang However, the money donated by the Dasong Charity Foundation is only a lot more than the tax paid.
Therefore, I have to rack my brains to spend the money wisely, to satisfy both Bachelor Wang and Sima University, so that my Dasong Charity Foundation can continue to develop. "
This rhetoric cannot be said to be straightforward, it is simply blatant.
It's that simple to spend money to buy peace.
Wang Anshi couldn't believe it, and he didn't care about Zhang Fei's small thoughts. Spending money to buy safety is a matter of course, but those who use the safety given to him by the court to evade taxes are abominable.
Of course he chose to support Zhang Fei's plan.
For him, this is simply pie in the sky. It is not that without Zhang Fei, he would not be able to complete the educational reform, but borrowing the Dasong Charity Foundation to promote the reform, relatively speaking, the resistance will be much reduced, allowing him to devote more energy to other reforms.
If it succeeds, it will definitely be at the smallest cost in exchange for the greatest return.
However, it is not Wang Anshi or Sima Guang who pay the most attention to education, but Shenzong Zhao Xu, because education is directly related to imperial power, and every monarch in the past dynasties has attached great importance to this matter.
Although Zhao Xu knew about this, he didn't know what Zhang Fei's real intention was.
This has to be asked clearly.
Just said goodbye to Wang Anshi, before leaving the imperial city, Zhang Fei was quietly called into the palace by someone sent by Zhao Xu.
It really didn't even give Zhang Fei a chance to breathe.
Facing Zhao Xu, Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to hide anything, but truthfully told the cause and effect of the matter, including the real purpose of Xiangguo Temple.
"It turned out to be Xiangguo Temple."
Zhao Xu was a little surprised.
He used to think that all of this was Zhang Fei's idea, but he never thought that there was someone else behind the scene.
Of course, Zhang Fei also told Zhao Xu that the real purpose of Xiangguo Temple was not to reform education, but to worry that he would be popular, so he wanted to use this to gain the support of some rising stars.
Zhang Fei said: "To tell you the truth, I also came up with this plan from the intention of Xiangguo Temple, but I don't know if it will be possible, so I didn't inform Your Majesty in advance."
This is really a big truth. He really didn't want to infiltrate the Guozijian before, at least not for the time being, because he also knows that this is very sensitive, and he needs to wait for an excellent opportunity. Donating to Guozijian, Zhang Fei decided to give it a try.
Zhao Xu asked again: "Then what are your plans now?"
Zhang Fei pondered a little, "If your majesty wants to surpass Han Wudi and Tang Taizong, in my opinion, this education is the only chance."
Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, then leaned forward, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"
These words are really tempting for any emperor. Who would want to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty? The same is true for the abacus, but no one has ever said that this education is the only opportunity.
It's the first time I've heard this statement.
Zhang Fei explained: "Between the two, especially Tang Taizong, he was almost impeccable, whether it was martial arts or martial arts. In a prosperous world, nothing is better than not closing doors at night and not picking up lost things on the road; the territory he laid down is basically That is, the territory that an emperor can conquer in his entire life.
In other words, even if His Majesty does all this, at most he will be on a tie with Tang Taizong, but since Tang Taizong is the first, if His Majesty does not complete the transcendence, it will still be worse.
Looking back and thinking about it, what else can be surpassed, that is undoubtedly knowledge, and this is also my strength. For example, in Jurisprudence, the "Song Xingtong" in our dynasty is completely inherited from the "Tang Law Shuyi". Even if some laws and regulations are improved on this basis, it cannot be regarded as surpassing. In fact, it can better reflect the "Tang Law" The value of "Sparse Discussion". However, if the judicial reform is successful and the entire judicial system changes, then the shadow of "Tang Law Discussions" can be cast off.
Because the public security law is a system that did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, it was completely created in our dynasty, and it will be famous in history, and future generations will not use "Tang Law Discussion" to summarize our dynasty's legal thinking. "
Zhao Xu said thoughtfully: "Although what you said is reasonable, people in the world still value civil and martial arts more. Even if a public security law is famous in history, its influence is extremely limited."
Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. The key to your influence depends on whether you have achieved great success because of this, because people often yearn for success. Worshiped by later generations.
Of course, the public security law is just an example. Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, all the success of the prosperous age has been attributed to Confucianism, but if your majesty can find another way, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and create a prosperous age, then your majesty is a pioneer, a founder, and will be able to surpass Han Wudi and Tang Taizong .
