Chapter 255: Starting a School (2)
The morning light is slightly dew, and the misty fog still envelopes the earth.
Just after the fifth watch, the sound of rolling carts gradually sounded outside Qianyang Hall.
Sui officials in green robes jumped down from the carriages and sedans one by one. Their calm and dignified faces turned into smiles the moment they came down, and then they kept greeting and greeting the colleagues around them. He was reading anecdotes about the capital in the past two days, interesting stories about Kyushu, and the breathtaking piano skills of the newly opened Huancai Pavilion in Luoyang City.
After a while, the officials from the previous court entered the Qianyang Hall one after another. The Qianyang Hall, which was originally empty, suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
Before the prince went to court, these officials gathered in groups here and there in the Jinluan Palace and talked in low voices. From time to time they also made one or two loud noises, showing how harmonious the ministers in the same palace were.
The most eye-catching among these groups of people are the old ministers headed by Xu Xiaode, and then the staff of the Crown Prince's Mansion headed by Cui Yixuan, the new Minister of War.
When Yuan Yuan (the former Minister of the Ministry of War) was not dismissed from his post, all civil and military officials, whether inside or outside the court, looked up to him and Xu Xiaode, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
However, Cui Yixuan represents the gatekeeper of the Cui family in Anping. He was young and intelligent and had been guarding the grain road for General Jinwu and Longhu in Hebei for many years. He worked hard to make the Huainan army worry-free. His cousin is the current Yi Fei. That is His Highness Li's uncle
With this kind of relationship, Cui Yixuan, in just a few days, placed many people in important positions in the "Yuanxu Party". Of course, it was inevitable that Prince Yang would become a means to restrain the "Yuanxu Party".
Although Yuan Yuan was deposed, he represented the great lord of the Yuan clan in Guanzhong. He had been the Minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years. Yuan Biao was also the commander of the right army of the Imperial Guard at that time. After more than ten years of deployment, his disciples had already spread all over the world. Moreover, Guanzhong now Although it is not as good as Luoyang in Gyeonggi Province, it was once the ancient capital of several dynasties. Its geographical location is no worse than that of Luoyang. I am afraid that there is still a long way to go before the "Cui Party" can replace or surpass the "Yuanxu Party" in a short period of time.
"Master Cui," an official on Cui Dang's side said to Cui Yixuan with a smile, "Do you know what important matters the prince has in his morning meeting today?"
"Hey" Cui Yixuan was quite surprised, "As a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Lord Ge, could it be that he doesn't know what His Highness the Crown Prince is going to discuss this morning?"
Mr. Ge was slightly embarrassed: "Hahaha - I am ashamed that I really don't know."
Cui Yixuan nodded as if he understood, and said with a smile: "I am confused. Master Ge's concentration on his studies makes me admire him. I know half of what was discussed in the morning."
When he said this, not only the members of the Cui Party were enlightened, but also the people of the "Yuanxu Party" standing on the other side were moved.
Someone whispered to Xu Xiaode: "Mr. Xu, do you know what is going on?"
Xu Xiaode's face was as calm as water, and he said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. Your Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince have recognized His Highness Changsun. His Highness Changsun wandered around when he was young and tasted all kinds of things in the world. He devoted all his energy to retreating from the Huainan Army. What he pretended to be was The millions of people of the Great Sui Dynasty are people who have never been seen in a century. It is enough for us to follow the example of His Highness Changsun, to think of the Great Sui Dynasty in our hearts, and to think of the people of the Great Sui Dynasty."
The "Yuan Xu Party" surrounding Xu Xiaode were all stunned for a long time. In their memories, Yuan Yuan and Xu Xiaode were the ones they hated to see the most ignorant of etiquette, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson - Yang Xiao, they haven't seen each other in the past few days. Could it be that he has changed? ?
Xu Xiaode was still unmoved by the surprised looks of these colleagues. Now that the element is gone, the two pillars of the Yuan-Xu Party have been tilted in the court. Xu Xiaode has to work hard to see everything and everyone better than others. Far, more transparent than others.
On that day, Prince Long and the Crown Prince competed for the throne in the court hall. Prince Long was in great power, Xu Xiaode, and the civil and military officials headed by Yuan Yuan were naturally not interested in the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, who ran out from nowhere and did not understand etiquette. But things are different now. Others may not know how Xu Xiaode could not understand the changes in official positions in recent days.
In order to restrain the "Yuanxu Party", the prince went all the way to recall Concubine Yi's cousin Cui Yixuan, and his second grandson Yang Li was born to Concubine Yi. In the end, Cui Dang supported Yang Li anyway, Concubine Yi and Cui Dang Suppressing His Royal Highness Changsun Yang Xiao is inevitable. Xu Xiaode is not a stupid young man. If he is not on the same line as Yang Xiao at this time, it will be in vain for him to serve as an official for more than ten years.
Not to mention the countless thoughts swirling in Xu Xiaode's mind, it was just a conversation between a few people on Cui Dang's side.
When several upstarts around Cui Yixuan heard that he knew about today's morning court meeting, they sincerely admired him and raised their chins high, looking at the "Yuanxu Party" with stern eyes. The meaning in their eyesSi Mingming said, "Look, our Lord Cui is the popular person around the prince. Who among you can compare to our Lord Cui?"
"Sir, can you tell us a little bit about what was discussed today?" Although an official was speaking, he looked sideways at the other party.
Cui Yixuan seemed not to have seen this, and still smiled and said to Mr. Ge on the side: "Sir Ge, although your Imperial College professors and Sixth School have worked hard and made great achievements, they have made very little contribution to the Sui Dynasty. The prince is very dissatisfied."
These words clearly showed dissatisfaction with Guozixue, but at this time Cui Yixuan spoke as if it was irrelevant, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with his Cui party.
Mr. Ge was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he first heard this, but after looking at Cui Yixuan's face, he understood that Mr. Cui was demonstrating to himself and his colleagues. What he meant was that although the prince was dissatisfied, everything was calm when it came to him. .
Even though he thought so, Mr. Ge was still confused and asked in a low voice without knowing why: "But - but the six arts taught and received by Guozixue are all Confucian classics and have been passed down for hundreds of years. The next official ¡ª¡ªI don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on.¡±
The spectators all nodded secretly as they listened. Guozi¡¯s professors were taught the Six Studies (Six Arts or Six Classics) - Poems, Books, Etiquette, Yiyue, Spring and Autumn Annals, which are Confucian classics. With fixed routines, I really don¡¯t know how to improve even though my achievements are small.
A person next to him thought for a moment and asked: "Is it that Master Cui wants to withdraw from Guozixue?"
Cui Yixuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Guozixue will not be withdrawn. If it is withdrawn, how can it withstand the secrets of you scholars? But one thing is probably true, that is, in addition to teaching and accepting the six studies, Guozixue I¡¯m afraid we need to add a few more new ones.¡±
"What's new?" Several people nearby also came together and asked curiously.
Just when Cui Yixuan was thinking about talking, the door of Qianyang Palace suddenly became dark. Everyone looked towards the door of the palace, and saw a young man with short hair leading two beautiful girls and a scared person who walked. The timid old man walked in.
The two girls look like gods. The one on the left is slightly fairer, with a face as elegant as plum blossoms. She holds a three-foot green sword in her hand, and she has a dashing and heroic appearance. The person on the right also has delicate skin, with a faintly healthy look on his dark face, and his pair of black, water-cut autumn eyes are rolling. He showed a little panic when he just stepped across the threshold, but he was surrounded by others next to him. The sword-carrying girl whispered a few words and gradually became calm.
Looking at the trembling old man in civilian clothes behind him, the girl holding the sword smiled like a lily and said: "Dad Song, don't worry, there is a flower monk here."
Father Song lowered his head and glanced at the senior officials on both sides with the corner of his eyes, and whispered: "Qing-Qing-er-gu-girl-I-I-how-how- Well¡ªoh¡ªdoesn¡¯t this cost my old man¡¯s life?¡±
The people who came in were Yang Xiao, Qing'er, Li Shiyin and Song Lao.
Yesterday, Yang Xiao drove to the Prince's Mansion and discussed with the Prince the ideas he had come across in Songjiazhuang.
Coming from later generations, he certainly knew that the development of human beings is inseparable from talents with scientific and technological contributions. In Yang Xiao's eyes, these talents are not officials who read the Four Books and Five Classics and wield power in the court. But blacksmiths like Father Song are hidden deep among the common people.
The prince has been in charge of the Sui Dynasty for a few days, and he has truly understood the current predicament of the Sui Dynasty.
Although the Sui Dynasty was not divided, it was actually in danger
The original high concentration of imperial power in ancient times is now facing the most severe challenges. The Sui Dynasty must be reformed, and it must be replaced by new policies in exchange for the return of local vassalage. And what the prince relies on is this omnipotent eldest son-Yang Xiao.
??From the use of troops in the canyon that day to the emergence of gunpowder and soil bombs and the final retreat of the Huainan Army, there was no time when the world was not shaken and the ghosts and gods were weeping.
So now that the prince is in power and wants to revive the Sui Dynasty, he knows that he must rely on his eldest son.

Maybe after hearing what Father Song said, Yang Xiao stopped and turned around and said with a smile: "Dad Song, don't be afraid that they are human beings. You are also a human being and are also born between heaven and earth. I will make them all treat you in a while." I look at you with adoring eyes.¡±
Mr. Song¡¯s eyes were wide open and he looked at Yang Xiao in panic. He waved his old calloused hands and said tremblingly: "Chang-Chang-His Royal Highness Sun-don't do it-don't do it."
Yang Xiao calmly led a few people through the middle of the crowd and walked straight to the front.
As I passed by, I heard whispers: "This is His Highness Changsun. I don't know what he wants to do this time. He actually brought a farmer with him and went to court with a sword."
"Be careful of the trouble that comes from your mouth," a person next to him said carefully, "That woman is very good. The last time I came back to the Western Regions, I was beaten by her."
After hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but turn around and smile at Qing'er and said: "Sister Qing'er, it seems that you are well-known."
Qing'er naturally heard these gossips and ignored them. She gave Yang Xiao an angry look and said: "It's not you who asked for the beating. If I had known that, you would be beaten into a pig's head by the Imperial Master - "
"If Monk Hua is beaten into a pig's head, will you bear it?"
Qing'er blushed at being said, "Whoever wants to be patient can bear to go. You have Sister Xiao Xiao, Sister Dong, and the stinky bitch Hui Yatou. How can it be my turn to be patient?"
Li Shiyin, who was walking next to her, burst out laughing when she heard this and said with a smile: "Sister Qing'er is jealous."
