Immature Thoughts 2/5 ()
"Eunuch, wait!"
"Oh, is there anything else?"
"It's like this. When I first heard about the Hongdu School, Qingshan was terrified and didn't know what to do. We have some tea and cakes that were specially sent over from Yangzhou. I want to invite you to taste them together. I'm sure you'll reward me handsomely ~"
Liu Xuan said sincerely as he looked at the Head Eunuch Zhang Rang.
The first part was just a cover. The most important part was the word " generous compensation." Liu Xuan emphasized it very much, which made the head eunuch Zhang Rang's heart skip a beat. His years of experience in accepting bribes allowed him to naturally understand what Liu Xuan meant.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Rang smiled and said with a hesitant expression,"I still have to go back and report to His Majesty.”
These words seemed to reject him, but how could Liu Xuan not read the meaning behind them? He quickly said,
"Eunuch, you came in a hurry in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. If Green Mountain doesn't entertain you, I'm afraid people will criticize you.”As Liu Xuan spoke, he gestured to the attendant beside him to get ready.
Seeing that Liu Xuan was on the right track, the Grand Eunuch Zhang Rang did not beat around the bush. He immediately turned around and returned to his seat under Liu Xuan's respectful gaze. He began to slowly taste the Liu Manor's tea.
"Speak, what is it?" Eunuch Zhang Rang was very arrogant, but Liu Xuan did not care.
Face and whatnot were earned by status and strength!
The Great Eunuch Zhang Rang was the Emperor's favorite, so he had the confidence to do so.
However, this strength was only built on the basis of others. Their foundation was bound to be unstable. The death of the Spirit Monarch was also the time when they lost their power.
However, Liu Xuan was different. He had everything in his hands.
"Eunuch, I actually heard teacher talk about Hongdu School earlier.”
"In this regard, I feel that although the Hongdu Sect is good, some people may not be able to make Your Majesty realize his ambitions.”
Liu Xuan spoke. The head eunuch, Zhang Rang, who was originally sipping his tea, suddenly stopped.
It was obvious that Liu Xuan's words had caught Zhang Rang's attention. Or rather, what Liu Xuan said was also a headache for the Spirit Monarch.
"Oh, since you've mentioned it, do you have a plan?”Zhang Rang asked casually, but Liu Xuan smiled.
A confident smile.
Liu Xuan bowed to Zhang Rang again and said sincerely,"Eunuch, only someone like you who understands the Holy Decree can come up with such a plan. I only have a few immature ideas, but I want to show them off in front of you. I hope you can taste them in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, so as to relieve your boredom.”
When Zhang Rang heard this, his eyes moved. He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Liu Xuan."Tell me quickly. If you can tell me a tenth of my plan, I will enjoy endless glory in the future.”
"Thank you, Eunuch. I only have three thoughts regarding the Hongdu Sect.”
Liu Xuan slowly spoke about the problems facing the Hongdu Sect.
Firstly, there was the obstruction of the nobles and the aristocrats. In a way, Hongdu School was actually a political force that Emperor Ling of Han was preparing to nurture.
The ones recruited were all from poor families, the sons of the landowners, or those who had no power.
As these people did not have much power, they could only rely on the emperor. Therefore, Emperor Ling of Han wanted to use the Hongdu Sect to quickly cultivate a group of trustworthy political forces that were loyal to him.
They could even use this political power to create another fishing vessel to fight against the deep-rooted nobles.
From the emperor's point of view, or even from the point of view of the country, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not wrong. It could even be said that this method was very pioneering and even laid a lot of literary foundations for the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
However, Emperor Han Ling was too anxious, and his vision and methods were too brilliant.
Moreover, they had taken too big a step forward, directly placing the Hongdu School's goal on the opposite side of the current aristocratic family system, completely opposing the aristocratic families of the world.
In such a situation, anyone would resist.
If Liu Xuan were to enter such a place, he would undoubtedly become the target of criticism from all the scholars in the world. Even his teacher, Cai Yong, might sever ties with him.
Therefore, he had to correct this opposition so that he could fight for a space between the Emperor and the aristocrats.
However, he did not have the ability to make the Emperor correct anything.
Therefore, he could only guide and paint a bigger picture for the emperor, painting a bigger and better future, and then pass it on through Zhang Rang.
This way, the Emperor would be satisfied, and the resistance of the gentry would not be so intense. There would also be an opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation. This was the Hongdu School that Liu Xuan truly wanted.
In order to achieve such a situation, His Majesty must first change his mind.
What Emperor Ling of Han wanted was his subordinates.
His own subordinates, against the subordinates of the aristocrats, or even a wave of political power that could resist fishing boats.
This was also the reason why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty chose the poor or the son of a landlord.
However, Liu Xuan's plan for Emperor Han Ling was to reduce this conflict.
It didn't have to be a mediocre person from a poor family, it could also be a noble family, but there had to be a limit.
They wanted to test which of the two factions was better at sharing the country's burden. They wanted to recruit disciples under the age of 18 to study in Hongdu School and compare them.
In this way, although the nobles understood the Emperor's thoughts, they could not refuse. Because if they refused, they would be afraid and feel that they were inferior to those children of the poor.
In this way, even if the nobles were unhappy, they would definitely not be able to bite him to death.
As long as the dignitaries let go, there would be a lot of room for manipulation.
Nobles and nobles were naturally better than those poor families who did not even know the big characters. Therefore, the timing of the comparison was decided by His Majesty.
Liu Xuan took out the imperial examinations of the later generations and implemented them in Hongdu School. There was a small test every seven days, a big test every month, and an assessment every year.
In this way, even if the nobles could win every time, the Humble Class, who had the heart to compare and constantly lost, would work even harder with a little encouragement. With the classics of the Hongdu School by their side, they would definitely catch up.
In this way, no matter what the outcome was, there would always be a group of Humble Class disciples.
Liu Xuan explained his thoughts to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang's eyes were shining with excitement after hearing Liu Xuan's concise and comprehensive words. He was amazed by Liu Xuan's actions.
Although it wasn't a very long time to describe it, the time it took to brew a cup of tea was still very short.
However, if one had the intention, then this cup of tea could be drunk for a long time. Similarly, it could also be refilled.
