Chapter 422 For the Sake of the Country! Wang Ji: I Was Deceived!

Latest website:

Wang Ji fell into deep thought.

After all, what Prince Han said was reasonable and well-founded.

Moreover, he once witnessed with his own eyes the poverty of the people in Shanxi.

Various personal experiences clearly told Wang Ji that what His Highness the King of Han said was true.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Gaoxu did not rush to speak, but gave Wang Ji enough time to accept it all.

In fact, since he learned that Chen Gongfu was unfortunately killed, he has been secretly looking for the new Minister of Academic Affairs.

This candidate must be brave and resourceful, and have outstanding talents. The most important thing is that he cannot be too old.

An older, veteran minister, at best, is mature, prudent, and protective of himself, at worst, he is hesitant and timid.

Promoting new learning is more full of difficulties and obstacles than implementing new policies.

Jie Gongbao and Chen Gongfu were both crippled and dead, which is the best example!

If a timid person is chosen to preside over the implementation of the new learning, it would be better to choose a corpse-position vegetarian meal sign and put it there, and he, Zhu Gaoxu, will personally end it.

Therefore, this candidate is not easy to find.

It wasn't until Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, submitted a list of vacancies that Zhu Gaoxu suddenly noticed Wang Ji, a famous general in the mid-Ming Dynasty.

Yes, famous general.

Although Wang Ji was born as a Jinshi and entered the official career through the imperial examination, he was an out-and-out famous general.

This guy's life can be called a legend. He, along with Prince Yue of Weining and Prince Shouren of Xinjian, became the three civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who were knighted for their military merits.

Wang Ji was promoted to Jinshi in the fourth year of Yongle's reign, and was awarded the Military Science in Shizhong. Later, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, he was moved to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

At this time, Wang Ji was still a purely civil servant, but during the Zhengtong years, this guy began to take an unusual path.

In the third year of Zhengtong's reign, Wang Ji and Jiang Gui attacked in separate lanes and fought for more than 2,000 miles. They defeated the Atai army harassing the border and forced Atai Khan and Duo'er Zhibo to flee far away.

From the sixth year of Zhengtong to the thirteenth year of Zhengtong, Wang Ji was the governor of military affairs. He conquered Luchuan three times and was granted the title of Jingyuan Bo for his merits.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong, Wang Ji led his army to quell the Miao rebellion in Huguang and other places, and was granted a world certificate.

In the entire Zhengtong Dynasty, it seems that there is no one who can fight, and they need to rely on this civilian general.

However, this also proves Wang Ji's own literary, Taoist and military strategies in some aspects.

Promoting the new learning is tantamount to an arduous war, which requires talents with both civil and military skills like Wang Ji to take charge.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate and directly brought him over and appointed him as the Minister of Academic Affairs.

The key is that Wang Ji was dismissed from his post in the third year of Jingtai to retire, but he was keen on his official career and was unwilling to do so. In the eighth year of Jingtai, he participated in the "Revolution to Seize the Gate" launched by Wu Qing Hou Shi Heng and others, welcomed Zhu Qizhen's restoration, and forcibly gave his family power Future generations will achieve glory and wealth.

Facts have proved that Wang Ji is not a pure scholar, or that he has a lot of ambitions in his heart!

Those who are capable and ambitious are the best candidates to carry forward the new learning.

After all, once the new learning is successfully promoted, Wang Ji will be famous and famous forever!

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu believes that Wang Ji will make the right choice.

After a long silence, Wang Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

"May I ask His Highness the King of Han, what exactly is this new learning?"

"Ah, good stuff." Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, "The new learning includes hundreds of schools of thought, the six arts of the gentleman, astronomy and geography..."

"Once the implementation is successful, the students who will enter the officialdom through the imperial examination in the future will no longer just be scholars who have read the books of sages, but also young students with various talents."

"At that time, the imperial court will implement the national policy of gentry receiving food, abolish the academic privileges of scholars, and return the fields to the people. All these problems will be solved!"

Wang Ji was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He really didn't expect that His Highness the King of Han was so ambitious!

Not only did he want to promote new learning to replace Cheng and Zhu, he also wanted to tax the Jin gentry and abolish the academic privileges of scholars!

This is simply an enemy of the world’s literati!

Moreover, the students taught by that new school are not just disciples of famous teachers, there may be disciples of Legalism, Mohist students...

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was planning to let them pass the imperial examination to become officials. Wasn't this a complete mess?

"I know what you are thinking, but you have to admit that this is the right thing for me to do!"

"The gentry are annexing fields on a large scale. If the court does not take measures to restrict it, it will not be long before the real farmers will have no land to plant and no food to eat. They will lose trust and awe in the Ming Dynasty, and eventually rise up to crush this dynasty. !”

"So, the gentry must pay taxes and grain, and their fame and privileges must be abolished. Even if they refuse to become officials because of this and want to blackmail the court, so what?"

"As long as the new learning is promoted throughout the country, within three years, the imperial court will have a group of truly talented officials available. They are more capable and hard-working than these literati, and are more suitable for serving as officials!"

After hearing this, Wang Ji finally understood the plan of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

No wonder he wanted to promote the new learning so firmly and was fully prepared for it.

Once the new learning became popular, the imperial court would no longer be restricted by the disciples of the famous religion, and the disciples of the famous religion would also lose their greatest confidence!

After all, the reason why officials and gentry dared to be so arrogant, corrupt, bribery-taking, and annexed fields... was precisely because they had the confidence in their hearts. The emperor wanted to rule the world, and he could not do without them, the literati, doctors, and herdsmen.

Therefore, the situation in the former Song Dynasty was formed where the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats shared the world.

What the King of Han wants to do now is to cut off all the confidence in the hearts of the literati and officials and smash their irreplaceable status to pieces!

To put it bluntly, the imperial court already has a new candidate. It’s not that it can’t do without you, so why are you still so crazy?

Three years later, the new students will pass the imperial examination and officially enter the court!

Five years later, the new school became popular all over the world, and more and more students chose to change their schools and join the new school!

At that time, the imperial court ordered the abolition of the academic privileges of scholars, and UU reading www. uukanshu． net The gentry and the gentry receive food as one body, but I am afraid that the only people who oppose it are the disciples of famous religions.

After all, this new school encompasses hundreds of schools of thought, not just your Confucian school!

This plan is too grand and terrifying!

Wang Ji was a little excited and a little scared.

Of course he could see the dangers and opportunities in the grand layout of King Han!

If you really succeed in your new learning, then you are destined to be famous and famous throughout the ages!

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhu Gaoxu once again threw out a heavy chip.

"Shangde, if the new school is established, your Wang family in Baoding will become the first family of the new school, and will become the coexistence of our country in the Ming Dynasty. By then, your Wang family genealogy will have to write a special book for you. Even if After you hang up the memorial tablet, it will also be placed at position C of the ancestral hall..."

Wang Ji: "!!!"

The first new school!

Rest with the country!

Genealogy records!

C position of the ancestral hall!

Damn it!

Who can withstand this!

Wang Ji's face turned red with excitement, and then he knelt down and shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, my subordinate Wang Ji is willing to take on this important responsibility for the sake of the country and the country!"

"Okay, with your words, I will feel relieved. Let's go to the academic department to find Jie Gongbao to report!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and watched Wang Ji leave in high spirits.

After he left, Prince Han sat on the small bench and pondered in silence.

Seeing this, Nie Xing asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you have a question?"

"No!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, with a look of distress on his face.

"Why do the words I just said to Wang Ji always feel familiar to me, as if I have said them to someone before?"

Nie Xing: "!!!"

Your uncle!

You are noble!

You are amazing!

You can kill or bury them!

You deceived others and forgot about them!
