Chapter 150 I, the little expert at digging pits
There has never been any love without cause or hatred without cause in this world. The reason why Zhao Huan vigorously promoted sociology was naturally to dig holes for Confucianism while taking the opportunity to promote the doctrines of Mohism and Dharma.
That’s right, sociology is used to dig holes for Confucianism.
As we all know, the sand figure Zhao Jixiang can be regarded as the last among the emperors of the past dynasties. If it were not for the trash of the family named Jiannu Ai, Zhao Jixiang would probably be ranked first from the bottom and be a real floor tile.
However, who would have thought that such a scumbag among emperors like floor tiles, Zhao Jixiang had done something to abolish the imperial examination——
Everyone thinks that the abolition of the imperial examination was in the late Qing Dynasty. However, in fact, the abolition of the imperial examination and the replacement of Daxing schools with the selection of talents from schools had already been done when Zhao Jixiang became emperor.
During the Qingli period, that is, during the years when Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen were emperor, under the promotion of Fan Zhongyan, eight people including Song Qi, Wang Gongchen, Zhang Fangping, and Ouyang Xiu joined the court and proposed that "teaching is not based on schools, and scholars do not observe."
In the countryside, names and facts cannot be verified; the imperial examination is limited to vocalization, and scholars focus on memorization, which will not fully utilize the talents." Therefore, we called for the establishment of schools to cultivate talents.
In the fourth year of Qingli, the imperial court officially issued an edict to establish schools. Not only did it begin to establish state schools and county schools, it also stipulated that scholars must study in school for 300 days before being allowed to participate in the imperial examination. At the same time, the Suhu teaching method founded by Hu Yuan was introduced, allowing
Enrollment for children of eighth-grade to common people has expanded the opportunities for children of small and medium-sized common people landowners to enter school for further education.
However, it is a pity that in addition to the strong opposition from the old bureaucratic and aristocratic groups, the court of the Song Dynasty also had a tradition of opposition for the sake of opposition. The Qingli School was declared aborted in less than a year after its implementation.
Later, Yingzong Zhao Shu became emperor, but died after only six years. Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, who succeeded the throne, saw that the father had disappeared before he could make any noise, so he started to play and study!
However, Zhao Xu, the unlucky guy, is no better than his god-grandfather——
In order to gain the support of ministers and descendants, Zhao Suo compromised twice with the conservative faction, which led to Wang Anshi's resignation as prime minister twice. Naturally, Xining's establishment of a school was abandoned.
During the Chongning period, Zhao Jixiang, a sand figure, took up the banner of inheriting the rule of the late emperor (Shenzong). It was during this period that Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang gained Zhao Jixiang's trust by working hard.
After serving as the right servant of the minister and the minister of the sect, Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang of course had to show their loyalty to follow Zhao Jixiang, so he invited the Xingxue Gongshi.
However, Cai Jing and Cai Yuan Chang, who have been prime minister four times, are really not a good person——
Although this guy abolished the imperial examination and passed the Chongning Xingxue School, he also vigorously promoted residential homes, Anjifang and Luzeyuan to make social relief large-scale and institutionalized. However, what this guy did at that time was terrible.
There are also a lot of bad things, such as issuing banknotes but abolishing the deposit for banknotes, Daxing Huashigang, etc. It can be said that Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang were also one of the main culprits in the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition, the scumbag Zhao Jixiang is too much of a waste. Just like the Empress Dowager Meng said of Zhao Jixiang that he "is eager to see things happen and retreats despite difficulties, unable to shoulder responsibilities, but greedy for pleasure." Zhao Jixiang's so-called Chongning Xuexue is also
It didn't last long, and after only seventeen years of implementation, it was declared obsolete and the old imperial examination system began to be restored.
The reason why such a situation occurs is that except for Zhao Jixiang, who is too useless and incompetent, the rest can basically be attributed to incompetence——
A careful inventory of the so-called reform policies of Zhao Zhen, Zhao Shu, and Zhao Jixiang will reveal that these people rely on the ministers in the court to carry out reforms, and they themselves do not even have the slightest bit of military power in their hands.
He had to rely on compromises again and again to gain the support of the generals and descendants.
As a teacher said, political power comes from the barrel of a gun - if he fails to control the people's hearts and does not have an army that dares to fight and win to protect him, then when the emperor wants to strengthen his power by curbing the power of his ministers,
, everything he does is nothing short of a joke.
Again, Zhu Yuanzhang could ask Mencius to move out of the Confucian Temple, or he could let ministers work in chains, because Zhu Yuanzhang, who was chasing the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty from the north, held military power and people's hearts in his hands. He was not afraid of anyone's rebellion at all, and no one dared to risk it.
The risk of the whole family dying to the point where not even a dog was left angered Zhu Yuanzhang.
The biggest difference between Zhao Huan and Zhao Zhen and others is that Zhao Huan has military power, popular support, and a secret service agency like the Imperial City Division.
Now Zhao Huan said that he would vigorously promote sociology. Except for Li Gang and Li Ruobing, who were originally tied to Zhao Huan, the remaining ministers didn't know that Zhao Huan was holding back his bad intentions?
You know, these ministers who are smarter than monkeys when they have hair on them all know it.
But what if you know?
It’s okay to let these ministers use their mouths to express their attitudes. If we really want these ministers to risk implicating three generations of the nine tribes to offend Zhao Huan, then these ministers can only express their gratitude and insensitivity——
Yan Chengxuan has proved Zhao Huan's determination with his own fate of being Lingchi, executed by his clan, exiled by nine clans, and unable to take the imperial examination for three generations.
Therefore, what Zhao Zhen, Zhao Shu, and Zhao Jixiang can do, Zhao Huan can do, and what they dare not do, Zhao Huan also dares to do!
Isn’t it just digging a hole for Confucianism?
First vigorously promote social studies, and then gradually replace the imperial examination system with graduation distribution after social studies are fully spread. At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to support Mohism, Legalism, and the Gongyang School of Confucianism, etc.
When Confucianism competes in the arena, it will naturally no longer be the case that Confucianism cannot lose its tail.
Especially the ram pie.
Whether Confucianism should be based on Gongyang theory or Guliang theory is not only a problem between schools, but also involves the issue of the inheritance of Taoism——
For the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty who believed in the Guliang School, the heresies of the Gongyang School were simply more hateful than the Mohists and Legalists!
If possible, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty who fought internally and externally would not mind fighting to the death with the Gongyang faction first, and then concentrate on solving the Mohist, Legalist and other schools of thought.
Zhao Huan couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought that these Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty would soon stage a show where people's brains were beaten into dog brains.
If such a situation really arises, should I move a small mat and get a plate of melon seeds, or should I move a bench first and grill some mutton skewers?
