Chapter 101 Debating relatives and estrangements, rectifying names

On the second day of the court, Xu Youxuan ordered the Tingwei to exempt Yu Li from his death sentence for "Eight Discussions", deprived him of all his official titles and rewards, and demoted him to a commoner, and he had no hope of entering the official career in this life.

Although he is in the Yu family, he has no worries about food and clothing, in terms of social significance, Yu Li is already dead!

Afterwards, Taichang ordered the imperial court to open a five-campus school.

The so-called Five Pavilions are divided into Confucianism, mathematics, history, literature and law. Five Pavilions are only open to poor families and common people's disciples. Anyone who is admitted to the Five Pavilions will be responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. "Songyou Money" will be established every year to commend students with excellent grades.

Because in ancient times, poor families needed to consume cheap pine oil lamps, the money for pine oil was used to remind students not to forget the hardships of education, establish ambitions and serve the country and nation.

Among them, Confucianism includes the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts, and also dabbles in various schools of thought; mathematics includes the natural classics, jade calculations, geographical maps, ephemerals, hydrological engineering, economics of the economy, etc.; history mainly talks about the rise and fall of all dynasties, and also how to remember words, events, how to compile scriptures, books, etc.; literature is elegant art such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea; law is a discipline that existed in the pre-Qin period, and gradually developed and grew since the Han and Wei dynasties, and the national laws derived from the research and improvement of the law are one

One of the most important criteria for the prosperity of a country. Because the law is the value of the country, but private discussions are very despicable. The prisoners are the people's lives, and most of them are humble. This is an important reason for the shortcomings of the royal government. Therefore, the law must be established and widely taught, so that law enforcers abide by the law, and the people understand the law. (The law sprouted in the pre-Qin period, originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties, independent of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, matured in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, declined in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and ended in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was once one of the obvious scholars, and it was the most regrettable for decline.)

These five studies completely abandon metaphysics, Buddhism and Taoism, use Confucianism to govern the world, use mathematics to learn classics, use history to know the rise and fall, use literature to cultivate sentiments, and use laws to learn to understand punishment and teaching.

Although the five state-owned schools cannot surpass future generations, they are enough to be ahead of the times!

Xu You himself served as the highest position in the Five Halls - the Shanzhu. He has five people priests and is divided into five halls. He is below the Five Halls. There are ten doctors in five studies, below the PhDs, below the PhDs, 20 direct lectures, 20 assistants, and other majors.

There is no restriction on admission to students in the Five Library Schools. As long as they meet the requirements, they can go through the preliminary examination and choose one as the main and one as the supplement. The rest of the school can be elective, but only those who can pass through two scholars can graduate.

After graduation, you can take the policy exam and select talents and record them. Whether it is a Niu Jian and Sheep Store or a poor back door, you can get a job.

Of course, in order to reduce resistance, the selection of officials is mostly a rude position that aristocratic families look down upon.

But don’t underestimate the turbid position. What is turbid? Direct contact with the people is cumbersome and intricate, but these people are the cornerstones for maintaining the operation of the country and measuring the hearts of the people.

Xu You is still unable to change the situation at the top, so he can only hope to dig out the shortcomings of the aristocratic system from the grassroots level, and to train a large number of officials who are proficient in common affairs in the shortest time. When the right opportunity is right, even if he turns against the aristocratic family, he can draw personnel to supplement them at any time to avoid stagnation and chaos in the country.

All the faculty members of the Wuguanxue School came from people who had no relationship with the families of various surnames. For example, the Confucian scholars did not use the children of the Yuan clan of Confucian scholars, but used the famous Confucian scholar Yangfu, a very famous Confucian scholar in Yizhou.

Yang Fu was born in poverty and was a humble child. When he was young, he was standing in the corner and eavesdropping to learn literacy and study scriptures. Later, he became a great scholar. However, he refused to recruit aristocratic families and started studying in his hometown. He taught children who were also from poverty and humble child to study. He lived a hard life and had a high prestige.

The Principal Sacrifice is a ancestral master. His family has been a master of generations and is also considered a famous family. However, the family is not prosperous, and there are very few officials. They have no contact with the court. They are also the direct descendants of Xu You's direct descendants. After a long time of trial, they can be trusted. The most important thing is that the Tianjing Yu Suan Academy on Xuanji's side can be handed over to Zhang Xuanji, and he can leave to Jinling to help Xu You.

Literary priest is Zhou Yong, an old friend of Xu You in the Bazi Society of West Lake. Historical priest is Chen Zixian, a book recommended by Xie Xiwen. He has a humanistic and cultural debate, has been relocated and has a strong talent. Literary priest is Tengziling.

Although other senior officials of the clan wanted to object, Liu, Yuan, Gu and others expressed their support, and the Yu family, who loved to rebel the most, remained silent. The two thorn-headed censors are now grateful to Xu You and will not interfere. The Five Pavilion School successfully passed the court discussion and selected the site in the original Jiming Temple. The Ministry of Works is responsible for starting construction. It can rely on the main building of the original temple and can be completed in one month at most.

The government and the country were temporarily calmed down, and Xu You breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Xuanwu Lake Incident, he has always responded to challenges and attacks from all sides at a high intensity. With the shock of absolute troops, the secret office's powerful intelligence collection and all-round public opinion control, he has made plans and counterattacks by chance, and gradually stabilized the situation.

However, the gap between Xu You and the clan is getting bigger and bigger, and it will break out at some point. The calmness at the moment seems to be before the storm comes.

Unlike Xu You's struggle in Jiangdong, He Ru became more and more prosperous in Pingcheng. He ignored the prince at all. Except for the time when he killed Li Xiu, the Eastern Palace had never been there. He wandered in front of Yuanyu all day long. After receiving the support of Cui Boyu and Kang Jing, he formally proposed to Yuanyu that if he wanted to move the capital, he would mainly concentrate power, and to defend closeness and alienation, and to correct his reputation.

Why defend closeness and alienation and correct reputation?

According to "Book of Rites? King System": the Emperor's Seven Temples, Three Zhaos and Three Mus, and Taizu Temple. Since the Han Dynasty, the debate on the temple system has never subsided. Behind the debate is the operation and weighing of the power of justice and rule. As a symbol of the destiny of the dynasty, the change in the name of the Taizu Temple has a profound political significance.

Tuoba Qi, the founding king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was originally a deserter boy. Only by receiving the full support of the Tuoba tribe could he create the Great Wei Empire. He was grateful and righteous, so after establishing the country, he posthumously named twenty-eight generations of ancestors as emperors, all of which were posthumously named "three ancestors" to the three emperors of the original Xianbei Dynasty: the ancestors of Tuoba Wei, the Taizu of Tuoba Lu, and the Gaozu of Tuoba Jian.

The consequence is that the large number of Tuoba tribe members are all members of the royal family!

The real founding emperor Tuoba Qi only got the temple name of Liezu. In the priest's temple system, Liezu was lower than Taizu and Gaozu.

Until Yuanyu succeeded to the throne for many years, the tribes of the Tuoba clan insisted on "the emperor's career of Wei, led by the ancestor Tuoba Wei, Taizu Tuoba Rushi, and Gaozu Tuoba Jian followed."

In other words, in this way, Tuoba Qi was placed behind Tuoba Su and Tuoba Jian. Those who were not Tuoba Qi's direct descendants, but just Tuoba Su, the descendants of Tuoba Jian, could be supported by the law and be on par with the true royal children like Yuan Yu.

The debate on the relatives and distant families proposed by He Ru is the difference between the remote clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan

This is a poisonous arrow shot at the conservative tribe nobles, but this is an open and upright plot. Even though they knew it was a pit, they could only jump in with their eyes closed.

After seven days of Luheng in Taicheng, He Ru fought against all the heroes, from the Zhou Li to the Qin and Han dynasties, and from the Qin and Han dynasties to Cao Wei, he refuted the local buns of the Xianbei tribe and won a great victory.

Then, Yuan Yu issued an order:

Liezu had the merit of creating foundations, and Shizu had the virtue of pioneering, so he should be his ancestor, and he would not move for a lifetime. However, Emperor Pingwen's merits were far inferior to that of Liezu, but the temple name was better than that of him. He thought it was not acceptable. I now regard Emperor Daowu as Taizu as Taizu, and removed the temple name of Emperor Pingwen and moved it out of the Taimiao.

This will completely change the balance of the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is equivalent to abolishing the royal status of all the Tuoba nobles in the remote branch.

Immediately after Yuan Yu and He Ru conspired, they issued another order to demote all the titles of the Tuoba clan, which were not Taizu Tuoba Qi's lineage, and the kings of the other surnames, to dukes, the original dukes of the other nobles were demoted to marquis, the marquis was demoted to earls, and the viscount barons remained the same. All the titles of generals were removed and they could not lead troops.

Moreover, in the future, no one outside the Taizu's direct line will be granted as king.

In order to reduce the opposition from the major surnames, He Ru also offered suggestions and approved the Duke as the first-rank, the second-rank, the third-rank, the fourth-rank, and the fifth-rank of the Baron. In fact, it only changed its name, but the grade and vested interests did not change, so the resistance encountered was not very large, with minor twists and turns, but the reform was progressing smoothly.

This series of sensual operations pushed Yuan Yu's lineage to supreme position in one fell swoop, getting rid of the long-standing internal struggles of the royal family and the entanglement between the royal family and the tribal family. Yuan Yu gained the absolute power he had always dreamed of and expanded the centralization.

He Ru was named the crown prince’s young tutor, the Eastern Palace Secretary, and was appointed as the Marquis of the Founding County for his great contributions.

It has to be said that Yuan Yu is worthy of being a hero of his generation. He will never be stingy with rewards for pillars even those who rebel from the south.

Taoist temple.

"...He Ru is unfathomable and is really amazing!" Kang Jing sighed.

Yuan Mulan said: "Yes, we chose to win him over. Now it seems to be a wise move. If we did not agree to his conditions, we still insisted on opposing the move of the capital. If he defended his closeness and quarrels in this way, the lord could completely ignore any opposition and force the capital to move. By then, not only would Cui Ling be alienated by the lord, but He Ru also pushed He Ru to the prince's side..."

Cui Boyu was arrogant and talented, but he had to exclaim a few times of praise to He Ru's wisdom and said, "It's really stupid that the Chu people cannot use such a talent."
