Chapter 1046 The Promise of the King
"Your Highness, Hou Jun gathered and left. In the afternoon, the Saint-Emperor of Shangyang Palace passed away. After leaving the palace, the family went out of Luoyang and went to Xizhou to take office without returning."
Eastern Palace.
Qin Lang took the initiative to mention it after seeing Cheng Qian, but Cheng Qian just nodded and was unmoved.
"Duke Wei, Luoyang Imperial College has insufficient local area, so I asked my Henan Prefecture to start solving this matter. What suggestions does Wei have?" Cheng Qian changed the topic.
The Imperial College was originally only established in Chang'an. Later, because the number of students was recruited continuously, exceeding 8,000 students, it was later diverted and the Imperial College was also established in Luoyang. Before moving the capital to Luoyang, the two Imperial Colleges were actually very mature.
The Imperial College in Chang'an mainly recruits children from nobles and nobles. It has Imperial College, Imperial College, Four Schools, Law, Calligraphy, and Mathematics. It is known as six schools, which is equivalent to six colleges. Among them, the number of students in Imperial College was the smallest. When Wude was first established, the quota was only 300, and they were all children of nobles.
Later, the number gradually increased. By the beginning of Zhenguan, the number of six scholars in the Imperial College in Chang'an was as high as 8,000. After the newly opened Imperial College in Luoyang, there were also many enrollments.
Especially since Zhenguan, the Celestial Empire system was determined. The court implemented a tribute and ban system to the barbarians of the four border vassal states and incorporated all countries into the Celestial system of the court. The characteristics of this system were to divide the monarchs and order the monarchs and counties to govern them, to include protons and guards, and to entrust the children of vassal states and to accept international students in the vassal states.
These four systems are important conditions for establishing the Celestial system.
All-round influence on the four barbarians.
The four barbarian kings were crowned with great titles, including King Silla, King Lelang, King Baekje, King Dianfang, King Goguryeo, King Liaodong, and before the Tuyuhun Khan, King Xihai, etc., and the smaller ones were the titles of Khan, Governor, Duke, etc., such as the Khitan leader, the Khitan Khan, the governor, the governor, the left general.
The leaders were enthroned, and then the prefectures and counties were established. Then the children of these leaders were summoned to Chang'an, or to the palace as imperial guards, or to study at the Imperial College. The children of these leaders were actually hostages. On the other hand, they also strengthened the contact between the two sides and influenced the future monarchs and nobles of the Four Barbarians through culture.
In recent years, the court has become stronger and stronger, and Weizhen is invincible. This system of the Celestial Dynasty has naturally become more and more established. Even Lingnan and Nanzhong were originally considered to be a slack area. Now that the land has begun to be changed, the local tyrants and barbarian kings have greatly increased the scale of their children entering the dynasty.
There are three major categories of students in Luoyang Imperial College. The first category is the children of the four barbarians and nobles and the children of the frontier tyrants. The other is foreign students, Silla, Japan, Baekje, Goguryeo, Linyi, and even the students of the Indian Jieri, Persian Sassanthes, Eastern Rome, and Frank. The third category is the children of landlords, powerful people, and even civilians from the Tang Dynasty. These are mainly those who are studying, law, and calculation. This is to cultivate specialist talents for the court, that is, officials in various yamen in the court.
Originally, there were not many noble children studying in the Luoyang Imperial College, and most of them were in the Imperial College of Chang'an Imperial College. Now that the capital is moved to Luoyang, a large number of high-ranking and noble children from Chang'an Imperial College have also transferred to school. The existing Luoyang Imperial College school building is not enough.
Although the court intends to divert some of the barbarians to Chang'an Imperial College, it is impossible to transfer them all, and the number of people in Luoyang Imperial College will exceed 10,000.
"Previously, Mr. Wei suggested adding some disciplines, and even expanding the enrollment of some schools under the Taishi Bureau, the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Taichang Temple, etc., and gathering them together. I thought it was very good."
The official schools in the Tang Dynasty were still well run. In addition to the Central National University of Imperial College, there are many junior colleges and prefectures and county schools. For example, the Imperial Medical Office, there are many medical students, and there are also many astronomical junior college students in the Taishi Bureau. In addition, there are special music students under the Taichang Temple, and there are special stable and pastoral students under the Taipu Temple.
These were originally affiliated with various government agencies, and there were not many.
Qin Lang proposed to expand the scale. After all, the Tang Dynasty is so large now and there are many central and local government offices. It not only requires a large number of officials, but also more clerks, especially some special officials. The traditional model cannot keep up with the demand.
Especially in criminal litigation, money and grain arithmetic, there is a very shortage of professional talents.
Qin Lang suggested that he set up a school town and plan these various schools together, and train specialist talents in the same direction as before, like the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Taishi Bureau, etc., but it is no longer a few dozen or two hundred, but a dozen or two hundred times, but a ten or a hundred times larger.
"I just plan the school city outside Luoyang City. I have considered the location. I will build a brand new school city on the former site of Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty. By then, all schools such as the Imperial College will be moved in, so that the school buildings will be larger and more abundant. In addition, it can build better and more comfortable dormitories, residences, etc. for teachers and students. In addition, the school city markets, shopping malls, street shops, etc. can be built for easy management...
Cheng Qian nodded repeatedly, "This idea is good. Move the capital to Luoyang, and countless soldiers and civilians have been moved to Chang'an. Luoyang City suddenly became crowded. The Imperial College is really too crowded now, and it is necessary to expand the enrollment again, so it cannot tolerate it..."
Qin Lang was a little surprised to see Cheng Qian paying great attention to these important things.
The prince, who had just experienced a major change, has now become less impetuous, frivolous, and more calm. In the past, the prince put his thoughts on his face, but now he is hiding his heart, and even Qin Lang can't understand it at a glance.
"Mr. Wei, I have learned about the Bailu Technical School you built in Bashang, Chang'an. I think it's very good. It is said that over the years, many technical craftsmen and managers have been trained for the Qin family. There are also many handicraft workshops in the court. In the past, they were all masters and apprentices. I think your technical school has a good idea. This time we can also add a new technical school in the school town, open various craftsman disciplines, recruit technical apprenticeship training, build cities, build roads, build ships, livestock, textiles, smelting, etc., which is very possible!"
Qin Lang nodded with a smile.
Talked for a long time.
After the main talks, Cheng Qian invited Qin Lang to have tea.
"Duke Wei really won't go back to southern Xinjiang?"
"Actually, I really want to go back. I haven't sorted out yet. I want to get things done with the beginning and the end."
Cheng Qian poured tea for Qin Lang, "To be honest, I have always envied Mr. Wei. If I have the chance, I would also like to be able to leave Beijing to manage a place, even if I give me three or five years."
“Kyoto is pretty good too.”
"Although Kyoto is good, I can't be a family after all. What I want is a real opportunity to experience, even if I only give me one state."
"Your Highness was in Chang'an before, and now in Luoyang, and he has done a good job. He is in charge of more than 20 counties, especially at the foot of the emperor. Isn't it also managed in an orderly manner?"
"That's all the credit of Mr. Wei and others. How much did I really do?" Cheng Qian sighed, feeling depressed and depressed.
"As these days, I often think about something. In the future, the saints really give the throne to me. Can I take it? Can I manage this ten thousand miles of land and billions of subjects? Can I make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and powerful people healthy? In the past, I thought it would be a simple thing to be emperor. Supreme, but now I feel it is very difficult. It is not easy for Emperor Gaozu and the saint to conquer this land, but I have not experienced any real polishing. How can I take it at that time?"
"Your Highness is too worried. The saint is now in full bloom in spring and autumn, and your highness is still young, and there is still time to train. Besides, the dynasty is full of people, and the king is wise and the ministers are virtuous. In the future, your highness will inherit the throne and have capable ministers to assist in the government, and it will be very smooth."
"Duke Wei, I have recently read the historical records of the previous dynasty and amazed the ambition of Emperor Yang of Sui, but also lamented his defeat. To be honest, I feel that I am far inferior to Yang Guang. Emperor Wen of Sui's Kaihuang reign and Yang Guang's great cause were all very impressive, but why did Yang Guang still defeat so quickly and die in the second lifetime of the Great Sui Dynasty?"
"I have also told Your Highness some of this before. There are many specific factors. The situation in our dynasty is better than that in the previous dynasty."
"Yesterday, the saint ordered me to meet him and talked about the matter of praising my sister for me. I expressed my attitude to the saint. I followed the saint's arrangements and had no objection."
"Duke Wei, I was young, arrogant, ignorant, and I was rude to Duke Wei. I was often rude to Duke Wei. Now I hope Duke Wei can ignore his past grudges, okay?"
As he said that, Chengqian stood up and bowed to Qin Lang.
"I dare not."
Qin Lang gave in and looked at Cheng Qian who was increasingly unfamiliar with his heart. He felt mixed feelings for the moment. Cheng Qian was relieved and happy when he was sensible, and worried when he was disobedient when he was not obedient. But now he has become this mature appearance, which makes him feel uneasy.
·······
"Changle has to be mourned for three years before getting married. Mr. Wei is not going back to Lingnan now. Should he take his family from Guangzhou back to Luoyang?"
"Well, I've sent someone to pick it up."
·······
The two of them suddenly had nothing to say, the hall was quiet and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Once upon a time, Qin Lang and Chengqian were both teachers and friends, with close relationships and even talked about everything. But now, they are so destined that they don’t know what to say.
"I'm going to leave!"
Cheng Qian raised his hand and wanted to greet Qin Lang for another time, but he couldn't find any topic to talk about. So he could only smile at the end, "I know that Mr. Wei is now in multiple positions and has a lot of money, so I won't waste your time."
He stood up and saw Qin Lang.
"The saint rewarded me with the royal garden in Shanglinfang. When I go there in the future, I can visit Mr. Wei's Cherry Island."
"Your Highness is welcome at any time."
The two walked out of the hall with a smile.
Qin Lang said goodbye again and walked a long way. Chengqian called him, limped up, and grabbed Qin Lang's hand.
"The sage once called Duke Wei the King of Tang Dynasty Huo, and Gu now wants to tell you that Gu also hopes to become a great emperor as great as Emperor Wu of Han in the future, and hopes that you will be the general Wei Qing. In the future, Gu inherits the world, and you will be the prime minister of the Secretariat......"
Faced with these words, Qin Lang didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Chengqian reached out and hugged Qin Lang, "When I rule the world, I will be allowed to be a king in another surname!"
Qin Lang was shocked and Cheng Qian smiled, "Remember, this is our agreement and also my promise to you!"
Standing there, Qin Lang watched Cheng Qian limp up the steps and return to the palace. The prince was struggling to walk, but he tried to hold his head up and his chest as high as possible.
Inexplicably, Qin Lang remembered the abandoned Hou Junji, Hou Liangdi and his daughter, and Emperor Li Shimin were nostalgic, but Cheng Qian is now very cold and heartless. Not only did Qin Lang not move his promise, he was even secretly frightened.
Looking at the back, Qin Lang felt that he might have to think about the way out in advance.
The prime minister in the court and the title of king of another surname made him very uneasy.
What he thought of was not Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing, but Yang Guang and Yang Su.
