Chapter 89: Officials Make a Wish

In Xuanzheng Hall, everything turned over too quickly, and even Qin Shaoyou did not expect His Majesty to make such a "quick decision".

Of course, he had no idea that his "reckless" actions invisibly established Wu Zetian's prestige, and he didn't know what happened to the emperor and his ministers.

And these are not what he cares about, so he can be a righteous and righteous school official.

Because of his ignorance, he could not understand Wu Zetian's mood at this moment.

Then, Qin Shaoyou can feel that happiness comes so quickly.

Wu Zetian looked at the princes and ministers who fell to the ground. Her face was cold, but she still looked at the old man named Cui: "I remember something again." From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Qin Shaoyou and continued: "Qin Shaoyou has made contributions to the supervisor. The court should clearly determine the rewards and punishments. What should you think of?"

The old man was silent.

The Holy Emperor wanted to force him to submit.

Now, the Imperial College was punished and executed by the Imperial College, and the Qin Shaoyou was in a hurry to rise. The innovation of the four schools has already taken effect. At this time, the Holy Emperor was mostly planning to follow the flow of the reform.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the "Mr. Cui" sank, and he sighed faintly. In fact, he really didn't want to show off. After all, the emperor is the emperor. Who would be willing to turn against the emperor unless it was absolutely necessary?

only……

This Cui Duke came from the Cui family in Qinghe. His family lasted for hundreds of years. He is recognized as the highest sect in the world and the head of the northern wealthy family. What those present don’t know is that it was this Cui family that had twenty-nine prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty alone. Now the head of the Cui family in Qinghe is Cui Feng, who is now the prime minister of the official counselor and the Luantai Fengge Luantai. His reputation is not obvious, but he is the most famous among the centers of Fengge, Luantai, and Shangshu Province. The Cui family has produced three prime ministers so far. As for Shangshu, there are countless ministers, not to mention that the children of other branches are in different positions. I don’t know how many of them have served in the local area.

This family has been around for hundreds of years, and no matter who is in the dynasty, he has high officials and generous salaries. During the Sui Dynasty, the reason why Emperor Yang of Sui lost the world was also related to the interests of the Li family, Cui family, Wang family and other major families. Finally, the Li family launched an army and dominated the world. These people were also the greatest heroes.

At the same time, these people are very strong, how strong are they?

When Emperor Taizong was still alive, he ordered Gao Shilian and others to compile the "Clan Chronicle". Gao Shilian and others actively carried out their work in a pragmatic attitude, divided the families of the world into long-term grades, and finally sorted them. "Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wang" five clans ranked among the top. After reading the first draft, Emperor Taizong of Tang was quite confused and angry. As the royal family, Li family, was only ranked third, so he lost his temper at Gao Shilian and others: "Cui has long declined, why is it ranked first? I, the Li family, is not as good as the emperor, can't compare to the Cui family?" "I really don't understand why the four surnames in Shandong are proud of themselves, and why do they value it in the world!" In order to safeguard the glory of the royal family, Emperor Taizong of Tang used political power to intervene and ordered a reordering, "The royal family is the leader, and the relatives of the outside world are second, and Cui Mingan is the third."

But even so, although Emperor Taizong of Tang regained his face, it can be seen from this that the influence of the Cui family at that time was evident.

Their power, even Wu Zetian, could not help but be afraid of it.

Cui Feng can actually accept Wu Zetian, but he cannot tolerate Wu Zetian's innovation because he knows better than anyone else. Once Your Majesty follows the flow, will the emperor still rely on the clans to govern the world?

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "Sage, Qin Shaoyou's meritorious service, and I believe that he can be appointed as a county man to show his talent."

County Male...

The county man was a title of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Overall, he belonged to the lowest level of nobles. From the perspective of rank, he was from the fifth level. Cui Feng suddenly proposed that Qin Shaoyou be awarded the title, which was shocking.

But soon, everyone understood.

Qin Shaoyou can reward you for his contributions, but he can only be a prominent person, but he cannot be promoted, because once he is promoted, it means that the achievements of the four subjects are recognized, and Qin Shaoyou will have greater power. What should I do later...

So... Cui Xu chose a compromise method, giving Qin Shaoyou an iron rice bowl and raising him well. He was a dignified county man, of course, could not be a school official anymore. He had to hold a high position in the army or other places.

Wu Zetian just smiled, but looked at Qin Shaoyou sideways and said, "What's the point of Qin Qing?"

Bribery, this is a naked bribe! This man named Cui is really sinister and wants to give him a title. He doesn't know how much land he will be granted at that time. He can't say that on a whim, he will marry a child from a sideline to himself, and then let himself eat and wait for death, and use this corrupt and erosive life to destroy his will.

However... Qin Shaoyou found that he liked it very much, and it seemed to be quite good.

Qin Shaoyou suddenly became a little hesitant. After a long time, he said, "Assues the Holy Emperor."

A faint smile appeared on Wu Zetian's lips and said, "Qin Shaoyou is a meritorious and deserves to be promoted. Why should he be awarded a title? After all, he is an official in the school, so it is unreasonable to be awarded a title. According to me, I should be promoted to a doctor."

This is a very relaxed sentence, even Wu Zetian said it in a joke.

But Cui Yue's expression changed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sage, there is one Qin Shaoyou in the four schools, so he achieved some results. But this score is just a mathematical learning. I am not saying that arithmetic is not important, but that the classics and history are the right way to manage the family and govern the country. These four schools of learning must not be rashly extended. I think, the academic rules set by Emperor Taizong are very good, and there is no need to change, so why should I take a risk? The old minister knows that Your Majesty wants Qin Shaoyou to be a doctor in order to promote the new school, but Old Minister asks Your Majesty to think twice."

His words were full of earnestness, but he had a clear understanding of Wu Zetian's thoughts and directly opposed it.

Finally there was a showdown.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "No matter what I look at, there is nothing wrong with it. At least the arithmetic of the four subjects is the best. Why do the Qing family think that the classics and history of the four subjects will be bad? Isn't the country's talent cultivation first to cultivate students' talents?"

Cui Xu shook his head and said, "Sage, no matter how good the talent is, if there is no match for virtue, it may become the root of chaos. Most of the lecturers hired by the four schools are of varying quality. Even if they can cultivate talents, how can they cultivate virtue?"

Wu Zetian was silent for a moment. When talking about words, she was not Cui Feng's opponent.

However, Qin Shaoyou looked bitter and said, "Hello, is it okay to tell me some reason?" I was still studying my promotion and title issue just now. Why did I move to another place at once?

After a long time, Wu Zetian was a little angry and embarrassed and angry: "There is nothing wrong with the innovation. Since it is effective, it should be promoted."

Cui Xu sighed and said, "Sage, the current academic rules were first from the Qin and Han dynasties. Although they have been deleted many times since then, there has been no major innovations. Can the saints know why? This is because governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, and education is the top priority. How can we change our courses rashly? The most important thing in academic affairs is to seek stability. There is nothing wrong with following the old age."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but say, "What about Shang Yang's reforms?"

Cui Yue looked directly at Wu Zetian: "Where did Qin State go after the reform?"

Wu Zetian frowned. The reason why she wanted to change was that the current factors also accounted for a very important reason. The court was filled with the most popular disciples of the aristocratic families. These people monopolized all educational resources. At the same time, because of their cultural level, they indirectly monopolized the interpretation of all classics and history.

This kind of debate between the monarch and the ministers alone is not necessary to even the ministers rush to the top. Just Cui Feng can directly crush Wu Zetian to death.

Wu Zetian always thinks this is wrong, but he just loses his words.

Cui Feng smiled faintly and continued with a pleasant look: "The sage, if it were not for Shang Yang's reform, perhaps the Qin State could last for a thousand years. Confucius said: Three hundred poems, in a word, said: Thinking of nothing evil. How can this be explained? This is to tell everyone that the purpose of the speech in the Book of Songs is to make people's thoughts pure, upright, and not produce evil or biased elements. In this world, there is never a quick way to seek the great way. In the eyes of the saints, the previous learning rules were indeed conservative, but at least they were central, and once they were reformed and biased, they would be too late to regret at that time."

"..." Wu Zetian was completely defeated.

Compared with Cui Yue, she couldn't even call her opponent. She felt a little angry and couldn't get into an attack. Then she looked around and saw Qin Shaoyou, and couldn't help but say, "Qin Shaoyou, what do you think?"

The ministers in the hall knew that His Majesty was going to bring reinforcements.

However, everyone couldn't help but smile. Cui Feng was not only the prime minister, but also a famous eloquent in Hebei. When he was young, he was good at talking, but the saint pulled Qin Shaoyou out to be a rescuer. This young boy was afraid that he would not be worthy of carrying shoes to Cui Gong.
