It was indeed because of Xie Chong's appearance that Zhou Yu suddenly came up with the idea of ​​setting up a university hall.

But it was not for nothing that Zhou Yu suddenly came up with this idea. In fact, he had always wanted to expand his influence on courtiers and cultivate a team that truly belonged to him, but the time was not right at the moment.

After all, he is only a few years old. There are many things that even an emperor would find difficult to do. Even important government affairs today require his nod and approval before they can be implemented starting from Liu Wei and Guang Guang. But after all, he is not in charge of many government affairs and situations now.

They don’t understand them well enough, and they are out of reach.

Even if he can safely leave everything to Yang Guang and Liu Wei, how much can the two of them accomplish?

And if he wants to completely control this country, if he wants to really do what he wants to do, and stabilize his current throne, he must cultivate a group of people who truly belong to him. There cannot be only one person in the court.

Sounds, old and new, also need to be alternated.

But the appearance of Xie Chong made Zhou Yu see this opportunity, which was to set up a university hall and let the direct descendants of all clans, kings and high-ranking officials to study with him as the emperor. Studying with him was not the purpose, but to get in touch with the second generation of these powerful people.

, conquer them, change their minds and make them become your followers, and knowing everything you want to know from their mouths is the purpose.

The additional function can even give these disciples a secret proton label, select those suitable for training from these disciples who are good enough in this era, and use these people to influence their families, teach them to be loyal, and more

From the attitude of each disciple, we can discern the true attitude of the clan, kings, aristocratic families, and officials towards the court and him.

As long as the university hall is established, Zhou Yu can definitely see a lot of things from it, and the appearance of Xie Chong just made Zhou Yu directly connect several points in his mind, and then the idea of ​​setting up a university hall came up.

When Zhou Yu thought of the university hall, he also thought of the Imperial College in many dynasties in his world, and then thought of the imperial examination, and a series of thoughts popped out uncontrollably.

Of course, under the current form, the imperial examination cannot be promoted at all, but its implementation is not impossible. As long as the scope of the imperial examination is limited to the university hall, Zhou Yu can still seize many operational opportunities.

But Zhou Yu couldn't express these thoughts in his heart to anyone. He could only slowly complete each thing step by step, treating it as play, and just playing.

When Zhao Sheng asked people to invite Guang Guang, Liu Yuan and Liu Wei, Xie Chong was also thinking about the issue of a university hall. There was no reason for the emperor to want to build a university hall, but the emperor definitely should not go there.

Doing anything meaningless, Xie Chong was thinking about Zhou Yu's purpose of setting up a university.

From Zhou Shengchen's words, Xie Chong knew that the current young His Majesty was by no means as simple as his appearance showed. He was definitely not controlled by Piao Guang, the Prime Minister and the General as rumored by the outside world.

Xie Chong knew that although Zhou Yu did not personally govern, he firmly determined the direction of the imperial court by influencing the three officials, the general and the prime minister.

Liu Yuan was the first to arrive. As soon as he came in, he saw Xie Chong kneeling under Zhou Yu's hand. He was a little surprised to see this person. He quickly raised his hand and asked: "It's Master Xie. When did he come back?"

?”

Xie Chong also quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "I have met the general. He just arrived not long ago."

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Yuan: "Uncle, sit down and wait for a while. When the Taiwei and the Prime Minister arrive, I have something to discuss with you. As for Taifu Xie, I personally called him back to assist me. From now on, you will serve as ministers in the same palace."

We have to support each other.”

Liu Yuangong bowed respectfully to Zhou Yu: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Liu Yuan's respectful look and Zhou Yu's casual attitude, Xie Chong, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, also believed that what Zhou Shengchen said was true, and it seemed that it was more true than what Zhou Shengchen had understood.

Even more unusual.

When everyone came together, Zhou Yu looked at the four people sitting on both sides and said directly: "I asked you to come here because I have something to discuss with you. I believe you are all familiar with it, Mr. Xie. Before you come, I

Xie Chong has been appointed as Taifu again, mainly to answer my questions and stay by my side."

"I suddenly came up with this idea after seeing Tai Fu Xie. What I mean is to choose a place in the palace to build a university. The location can be placed in the outer court to recruit the children of the clan, princes, and officials of third grade or above.

Even those children from aristocratic families who can receive the emperor's favor will go to school together to show the emperor's great favor."

"In this way, I will have more peers around me to accompany me. I can also get in touch with these powerful disciples to see if there are any useful people. I can also train a group of useful people for me."

"Great University Hall?" Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, isn't this the Guozi School? We have the Guozi School. All the clan members study there. Isn't it necessary to open another Great University Hall?

Is it necessary?”

Guang Guang thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I think your Majesty's idea is feasible. Gathering the powerful disciples together to study together will also allow us to keep abreast of every move of these powerful disciples. It can also avoid the situation that we did not understand when making recommendations.

, let some useless people step into the court and stain His Majesty's eyes."

"What's more important is to summon the sons of the world's aristocratic families and kings to come to Beijing to study with His Majesty. This can also help His Majesty get to know them better, and it can also reflect His Majesty's majestic favor, and it can also help to build relationships with all parties.

Contribute to the stability of the world."

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Wei: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Liu Wei looked around and nodded: "According to your Majesty's instructions, we can establish a university hall in the outer court. I think the Wende Hall is good. With so many ministers watching, the students will definitely study hard and not dare to slack off. This

It is also to help cultivate talents from all families and tribes in the world. I believe they will not refuse. It is also an honor to become His Majesty's companion."

"If no one objects, then the matter has been decided." Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Thank you, Taifu, you will be responsible for the establishment of the university hall. The Taifu, the general, and the prime minister will cooperate with you.

Well, I don’t look at the process, only the results, but not one of the students who come to study should be missing. You go down and discuss what to do specifically."

"As for the university hall, it is named Imperial College, and the students are called Imperial Students. The first batch of students can be assigned corresponding positions after completing their studies and passing the examination. After the Imperial Students complete their studies, they do not need to be recommended but only need to take exams. Anyone who passes the exam can become an official.

How about this."

Several people raised their hands and said, "I understand."

"The second thing is that I have been living in the palace for a long time and I am confused about the situation in the outside world. Although most of the government affairs are done by a few people, I still feel that I need to know more about it, so I am going to build a new one.

The name of the yamen is the Secretariat and Staff Office. Those who join the new yamen do not have real power and do not hold important positions."

"The main task is to explain various problems to me, analyze various government affairs, and do things for me. Taifu Xie will serve in the Secretariat and Staff Office from now on. Taiwei, generals and prime ministers, you will each recommend a talented person to come over.

, and then select three knowledgeable people from officials of seventh rank and below, for a total of seven people."

Several people didn't understand Zhou Yu's intention, but they even claimed it was.

Zhou Yu patted his butt and stood up: "Let's go, follow me to the Wende Hall."

After this move, many people immediately came to accompany him, sat on the imperial banquet and headed towards the outer court.

It has been a long time since he came to this world. Zhou Yu's scope of activities is only a few palaces. Apart from the main hall, he mostly stays in his own dormitory and rarely sets foot in other places.

This was the first time he left the harem, and he saw something new. When he arrived at the Wende Hall, the officials and minor officials inside learned of His Majesty's arrival and quickly ran out to wait early.

After Yu's emperor fell, he also knelt on the ground.

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and started to circle around Wende Hall with Yang Guang, Xie Chong and others. It looked like the environment was good and the place was quite spacious. It was also a good choice as a university hall.

After walking around in a circle, Zhou Yu nodded: "That's it, but what was the role of Wende Hall before?"

Liu Wei stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the Wende Hall does not have much use. Now it is only a place for officials to rest and work. Some distant officials will also wait for your Majesty's summons here."

"Okay, the Imperial College will be placed in the Wende Hall, and another place will be chosen to place officials on duty and rest."

Liu Wei said: "I understand."

Zhou Yu looked around again and saw the palace wall standing not far away. It was this wall that separated the palace from the outside into two worlds.

Zhou Yu also knew nothing about the outside world. Although he was a little curious about what the outside city was like and wanted to go out and have a look, he knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

After taking a look at the vermilion palace wall, Zhou Yu waved his hand and got on the throne.

"Get off and go back to the palace!"

Zhao Sheng greeted him back with a wink, and Zhou Yu waved to him. After waiting for the people to come over, he gave a few instructions and then leaned on the chair with his eyes closed.

Zhao Sheng, on the other hand, returned to Piao Guang and others and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has ordered that matters regarding the Imperial College must be dealt with as soon as possible. The ministers must also provide a charter as soon as possible, and the candidates must be recommended as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Taifu. Your Majesty is thinking that you have just returned to Zhongzhou, and is worried that you will not have a place to live, so I have given you a mansion and a number of servants. There will be other servants here waiting to take you there later. Thank you, Taifu, remember to come to the palace tomorrow morning."

Give lessons to His Majesty."

"Ministers, take your leave."

Several people said loudly together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Of course, the emperor's duties were assigned to the people below him. Although Zhou Yu had only been emperor for a short time, he was extremely skilled at doing this.

As soon as these four people discussed it, they had already listed the regulations of the Imperial College in one day and sent them to Zhou Yu. Because Zhou Yu had already told Xie Chong what he meant before, it was easier to list these regulations.

It is in line with Zhou Yu’s thoughts.

After reading it in detail, Zhou Yu also made some changes in his writing, but they were all minor details and insignificant.

On the next day, the slightly fat Xie Chong was led by Zhao Sheng to the imperial study room early in the morning.

However, when he saw that there was no one in the imperial study room, he couldn't help but asked Zhao Sheng strangely: "Where is your Majesty?"

Zhao Sheng also looked at Xie Chong with a strange expression: "Taifu Xie, it's still early and Your Majesty is still resting. You came too early. Please rest here for the time being. I'll have someone prepare breakfast for Taifu."

meal."

Xie Chong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the sun that had just risen outside the door, and was speechless for a moment: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Zhao Sheng seemed to have seen something and quickly showed a smile: "General Feng is here just in time. General Feng will accompany the Taifu here. I have to take care of His Majesty."

A man in armor walked in from the door and nodded to Zhao Sheng: "Your Majesty has just woken up. You should go back and take care of him. I'll just stay with you, Taifu."

When Zhao Sheng left, Xie Chong looked at Feng Qiao and smiled: "Xiao Feng Qiao is already a general."

"Oops." Feng Qiao turned her head a little embarrassed, and then said: "I knew you were coming yesterday, military advisor, but I was on duty yesterday and couldn't come to see the military advisor. Is it going well all the way here? Is my master okay?

?”

"Okay, everything is fine." Xie Chong nodded with a smile, looked around and lowered his voice: "Xiao Fengqiao, is there nothing wrong with Your Majesty?"
