Chapter 255 Zhang Yuan's Case

The reason why Zhao Huan wanted to suppress Confucian scholars was definitely not because he looked down on scholars in the Song Dynasty, nor because he thought that Confucianism was a study that chaotic world.

After experiencing the ancient Chinese movement of Ouyang Xiu and others, the Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was quite healthy, pragmatic, and applied what he learned.

In fact, many people do not know that the prosperity of Confucian scholars to the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was also related to the Buddhism at that time.

As an alien theory, Buddhism established its foothold during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chinese intellectuals believed that Buddhism was a deceptive theory.

Therefore, whether it is Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Jie of the Song Dynasty, and Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, they are all vanguards of Buddhism. They use the systematic development of Confucianism to fight Buddhism.

If Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was not prosperous, it would have been likely to give Buddhist loopholes, making China half a Buddhist country at that time.

This is something that the Chinese elites don’t want to see.

Zhao Huan wanted to suppress Confucianism simply because Confucianism was too powerful and was almost kidnapped by Chinese culture.

Is there just Confucianism in Chinese culture?

Shi Xun took the lead and reported on the Hanlin incident this year.

1. The Imperial Military Academy was built in Tokyo City, and the previous martial arts was incorporated into the Imperial Academy. The University of Tokyo was built in Tokyo City, and the encyclopedia was established, which could be completed in June of the third year of Jingkang.

2. One university is built in Hangzhou, Jiangling Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture, Youzhou Prefecture, and Jingzhao Prefecture, each with ten primary schools and ten middle schools.

3. The Compulsory Education Law has been drafted and was officially promulgated by the court on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Jingkang.

4. Three library buildings were built in Tokyo, Hangzhou Prefecture, Jiangling Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture, Youzhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture, and the people's religion.

5. Reorganize all private schools in the country.

Sixth, the construction tasks of the Great Song Dynasty Mansion have been issued across the country, including the newly recovered Jinghai Road.

After reporting this, everyone felt that the Song Dynasty's new learning has made good progress.

But the ministers in the hall knew in their hearts that the new study seemed good, but they were struggling.

Although governments in various places are building schools, they are just to deal with the imperial decrees.

When a historian compiled what happened between the second and third years of Jingkang, he said: All politics are subject to this.

What he wanted to express was that at the end of the second year of Jingkang, when my husbands reported on the matter for a year, it seemed that the new policies were being implemented, but in fact they were all greatly hindered.

After listening to Shi Xun's report, the next one was Li Gang's Privy Council, but the emperor stopped it first.

The Imperial City Department is not like a decoration. Zhao Huan knows in his heart what the actual situation of the implementation of the new school is.

At present, the fortifications of the Song Dynasty, led by the Political Affairs Hall, have been launched. The Song Dynasty needs more fortifications, and commercial talents come from education, but education is still dominated by the Confucian family.

If the emperor had been fighting against foreign enemies and quelling civil strife, and had no time to take care of education and culture, then now, the emperor could make time to play with the old men of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor stopped Li Gang and he left the list.

"Your Majesty, I have the right to report!"

When the ministers saw that He Yehe Censor came out, and after Shi Xun, they felt a little nervous, afraid something was going to happen.

Whatever the bitch is there, it will definitely be a disaster!

Zhao Huan said: "What should I report to He Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the Chief of the Palace, Zhang Hong, criticized the new school and openly opposed the new court policy. Please remove Zhang Hong from his official position and be exiled to the frontier!"

Sure enough!

A minister glanced secretly around and found that Zhang Hong didn't even attend the morning court today. People with a keen political sense could smell the storm.

Zhang Hong is just a palace chief. He is usually responsible for the emperor's clothes and is taciturn. He will never criticize Xinxue. But now the emperor's bad-legged son, Yushi He, has come out to say that this matter has been confirmed.

Zhao Huan said: "Why did you say this?"

He Ye said: "Last night, Zhang Hong's son Zhang Yuan insulted Bai Ding, a commoner who came to the library to listen to his studies, saying that he was not worthy of reading the books of sages!"

Zhao Huan said in surprise: "This is actually happening!"

According to normal flow, it is time for Liu Yusi of the Inspectorate to come out at this time.

Sure enough, Liu Yanzong left the list.

As soon as Liu Yanzong came out of the list, the ministers were even more sure that this matter had become an ironclad case. I am afraid that the Inspectorate had filed the case overnight and Zhang Yuan was already in prison at this moment.
Chapter completed!
