Fan Zhongyang did not expect that for the sake of a new engineering school, the government and the public would almost lose all the goodwill and understanding they had accumulated towards Liang Feng. Not only did they fiercely criticize his engineering plan, but they even rejected the laws, arithmetic, and martial arts that were basically recognized in the past few days.
"Jinghua News" carried out lengthy criticisms of Liang Feng's Imperial College.
Since Xia Song was deported back to his hometown, the current "Jinghua News" has been edited by Chen Zhizhong, who has always been depressed. The last time he competed for the title of Censor Zhongcheng, he failed, but was heavily suppressed. Later, it was Xue Kui who recommended him to serve as the mouthpiece of the imperial court.
When Chen Zhizhong came to the "Jinghua Newspaper", he did not show the ability he should have or what others expected. He was mediocre, not to mention not as good as the previous "Bianshui Wenjian". Even Xia Song's situation when he was there It's also much worse. It turns out that when Xia Song was there, one issue reached a peak of 20,000 copies. Now in Chen Zhizhong's hands, the circulation is only 5,000 copies per issue. And if it weren't for the fact that others didn't have the movable type printing technology invented by Liang Feng and a large number of underlying resources such as Kaifeng Prefecture and Imperial City Division, so they couldn't set up a newspaper to compete with him, this newspaper would have disappeared long ago.
Because he always publishes nonsense, which is always the words of a saint. The deeds of former sages and endorsements of important events in the imperial court. Even the anecdotes and novel serials that the common people love to hear have almost disappeared. The layout has also been reduced by nearly half. Such a broken newspaper. It¡¯s strange that people like to watch it!
But recently, his business has suddenly improved, just because the whole society has found a target to complain about, the Imperial College! "Jinghua News" criticized Liang Feng head-on for his misdeeds, going against the grain, violating the teachings of sages, tolerating the three religions, tarnishing the important weapons of the imperial court, misleading his disciples, and so on. It is simply too long to write down!
How did the common people know this in the first place? But as soon as I read the newspaper and asked about it, we started talking about it. It is said that the late emperor had something to say: The emperor values ??heroes. The article is called Ercao. Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade! Ordinary people tighten their pants, but as long as their son is not as stupid as a pig, who will not support him for a few years so that he can study hard, get a good name in the future, get rich and prosperous, and honor his ancestors? The Imperial College is an elusive holy place. Of course, this is the Imperial College in the eyes of outsiders.
But it is the Imperial College after all, it represents the direction and the highest level of imperial education!
Liang Feng did this. Many people are dissatisfied with the shortcut to becoming an official through the imperial examination. It's actually going to be a hodgepodge. Wouldn¡¯t this seriously lead to the collapse of the educational values ??of parents who hope their children will succeed? People are confused, what are they going to do? Could it be that in the future, as an official in the imperial court, you can even be a plasterer or a road builder? Then the imperial court gave an imperial edict!
The imperial edict was not issued, which shows that the court did not think this was a good thing. Since it's not a good thing, it should be scolded. As parents, we have invested so much financial and material resources to cultivate a bright future and correct values ????in the hearts of our children. If you do this, can your children still read the books of sages with peace of mind? Can you still take the imperial examination with peace of mind?
I don¡¯t know what Liang Feng is thinking. He looks like a pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He goes to work and get off work happily every day. No matter how many children are in the class or a dozen, he always obeys the instructions. Interest continues. On the one hand, he kept urging Fan Zhongyan to ask if he could speed up the pace and invite all the great masters. Nowadays, the officials of the imperial court are ashamed to come to the Imperial Academy to attend classes, and the imperial edict is not working. People are pushing and pushing, and they are refusing to accept it. There is nothing the Zhao family can do!
Fan Zhongyan sighed and nodded. Apart from going to class every day, he would just stay in the room and not know what to do day and night.
Finally, in early March, Liang Feng found out what Lao Fan had done.
He also likes to read the "Jinghua News" recently. There are articles criticizing himself or the Imperial College almost every day, and he reads them with gusto. He talks about the same old tune every day, and even Zhang Ting and other people who care about him the most are tired of it and don't like watching it anymore, but he never tires of it.
Today's newspaper made his eyes light up. The opening chapter was "Book of Correcting the Name of the Imperial College": The reason for a prosperous age must be the gathering of the four elements. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, no one can be left behind, and all five elements and eight works will be successful. If the way of the husband along the way congests the people of the world, so that all the surnames take the imperial examination as a step, and are expected to ascend to the dragon gate, but his career is withered, how can this prosperous age be? It doesn¡¯t exist yet!
The following content will summarize the fact that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song Dynasty has implemented a policy of liberalizing the people with light corvee and low taxes, which has created a scene of peace and prosperity. However, surrounded by powerful enemies, the Northern Liao Dynasty always wanted to ping-pong, and Dang Xiang never stopped coveting him. Although the civil affairs of our dynasty were prosperous, their martial arts were far inferior. In addition, there are constant natural disasters in the territory, whether they are severe droughts, floods, earthquakes, or cold snaps, which simply do not stop for a moment. Although farmers farm all year round,? It doesn't stop, but there is no idle land in the world, and farmers are still starving to death. What¡¯s more, it¡¯s unfair to say that there is no earth in front of the door, no tiles on the house, no mud on your fingers, and you live in the building with scales! These are all due to the fact that the imperial court paid too much attention to academic examinations and did not like or despised practical skills. If we could have more experts in astronomy, geography, water conservancy, and agriculture, if we could have more generals who could fight and fight hard, would our court be more than what it is now?
There is a new member of the Imperial Academy, Mr. Liang Fengliang. His ideal is to cultivate more talents from all walks of life for the court and the monarch, which can greatly improve the creativity of the people, so that when disasters come, we can lose money. Reduce it to the minimum; when the weather is good, the harvest can be maximized; when the foreign enemies bully you, the border officers can fight bravely and bravely; when there is surplus labor, you can create more wealth! Are these all wrong? Can these be solved by just relying on basic sage books and a few exam-oriented articles?
"I hope to take the exam to become an official and benefit the people. Of course, it is a very glorious and enviable path. However, if you can do other things that bring happiness to the people and relieve the worries of the court, isn¡¯t it worthy of respect and recognition? There are so many people in the world, and everyone has different qualifications and hobbies. Why must everyone regard studying and becoming an official as the highest goal and despise other activities?
We, the people of the Song Dynasty, wake up! Not everyone can gain fame by rote memorization. With such useless efforts, it is better to promote other jobs and other industries so that everyone can have a sense of honor and value. Wouldn't the world be harmonious?
This is Fan Zhongyan¡¯s article. This article was written with more than 2,000 words and was published on the second page of the "Jinghua News". The front page was a scolding of himself, and the second page only contained this article.
Liang Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly filled with tears!
He is very grateful to Brother Fan Xiwen. This article is a declaration of his ideals and a culmination of what he usually hesitates to say but dare not say.
Fan Zhongyan was not the originator of these ideas, but he did something bolder than the originator, which was to publicly support him and explain for him in his own name!
¡°Who else in the world would dare to take such a political risk except Fan Zhongyan?
¡°Although in this way, Fan Zhongyan has pushed himself, who wanted to hide in the background and slowly realize his desire for improvement, to the front. But Liang Feng's heart was finally hit to the deepest point by Fan Wenzhenggong! Only at this moment did he understand what it means to worry about the world first and be happy afterward! I am not as good as his old man!
Liang Feng no longer looked as confident and confident as before, but walked quickly to Fan Zhongyan's official office, opened the door with a bang, and stared at his brother with a tired face who was revising the plan of the Imperial College: "Brother Xiwen, I can¡¯t thank you enough!¡± He bowed and saluted, choked with sobs and unable to speak.
"Yutian, why are you doing this? I am very proud to do these things for you!" Fan Zhongyan almost vomited blood when he wrote this article! It is soaked with all my enthusiasm and energy. It is only two thousand words and has been revised no less than a dozen times. At this moment, my exhausted face has a strange brilliance!
The two hands were clasped together tightly.
Liang Feng didn¡¯t ask him what connections he had through which he published this article that defied the world¡¯s disapproval in the "Jinghua News". There was no need to ask. This favor is equivalent to writing two identical articles!
But one thing is very clear. Now that these words have been publicly announced to the world, Liang Feng no longer has to waver and look around. Just do what you need to do openly and honestly, so that you can be worthy of Fan Zhongyan's hard work.
On the fifth day of March, the Imperial College posted an unprecedented notice: Recruiting all students who are interested in all kinds of learning! Including teachers and students!
There is no one in the court to advise, so we have to recruit ourselves. Students are not allowed to come to study, they must recruit themselves. In short, the Imperial College welcomes anyone who is willing to come to teach or learn!
Kaifeng is boiling, and in the blink of an eye, almost the whole country is boiling! Even neighboring Beiliao is excited! They all opened their disbelieving eyes to see how far such a broken school could go!
"Liang Feng, you are too presumptuous! You are a monster!" Cai Qi slammed the table, and it was Xue Kui's table.
Xue Kui looked sad and allowed Cai Qi to curse Liang Feng. He had no reason to protect his shortcomings. He saw this old subordinate suddenly running away like a wild horse. Moreover, it has greatly exceeded my imagination and acceptance limit. Can I still protect him?
"Zhongcheng, if you don't impeach Liang Feng at this time, where is the justice?" Cai Qi stared at Xue Kui, asking him for a clear attitude. Moreover, Cai Qi was not the only one around, but there were also many aggrieved officials.
After a long silence, Xue Kui highlighted a few words with difficulty: "You guys can submit a letter, I'm all famous!"
As soon as this sentence comes out, waitHe just announced his opposition to Liang Feng!
The Yushitai was united as never before, and the memorial to impeach Liang Feng and Fan Zhongyan was carried out in one fell swoop. The three major crimes were: first, deviating from the path of sages; second, acting without orders and making one's own decisions; third, disrupting the imperial court!
As long as any one of them is true, it can push Liang Feng into a place of eternal destruction! (To be continued)
