Chapter 239 Empire (2)
The next day, Cao Chong dressed neatly and summoned everyone in the prince's womb.
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Buyi, Xu Shu and others are here.
Cao Chong was dressed in prince's clothes and a crown hat on his head. He looked extremely majestic. Even Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu did not dare to look at Cao Chong in front of him, so Zhou Buyi dared to look at Cao Chong occasionally.
"You guys think you know what happened at Tongquetai yesterday."
In the prince's uterus, Cao Chong was the first to speak out.
When Cao Chong said this, Xu Shu nodded immediately and said, "Your Highness has now sat firmly on Diaoyutai. Chang'an Hou Ming was stubborn and did such a stupid thing. Your Highness's position as the prince is completely stable."
Of course Cao Chong knew this, but today Cao Chong summoned everyone, and this was not what he did.
"It is a fact that Chang'an Hou rebelled, but you are in today's court and want to plead for Chang'an Hou."
When Cao Chong said this, whether it was Xu Shu or Zhuge Liang, he immediately understood what Cao Chong meant.
"What Your Highness means is to show it to the king?"
Cao Chong nodded and shook his head gently.
"It's not entirely for the father to show it, and I don't want the life of Chang'an Marquis. After today, the power of Wei State should slowly come to my hands. And who in Xudu wants to be my envoy to meet His Majesty?"
I went to meet Emperor Xian of Han for the purpose of, of course, the inheritance of a prominent position and the rationality of the rank of the country.
This is a lobbyist task.
Cao Chong looked around the people present and finally said to Zhou Buyi: "Wen Zhi..."
Before Cao Chong could speak, Zhou Buyi shook his head quickly.
"Your Highness, I have a lot of things in the prince's uterus, but I really can't get rid of myself."
In the prince's uterus, this guy dared to bargain with him.
Cao Chong chuckled and said, "I didn't want you to be this lobbyist. I have someone to choose this lobbyist." [ABC Novel Network & ~ The novel is better, updated and faster]
"It's not me?" Cao Chong's words made Zhou Buyi feel relieved. Liu Niang was about to give birth these days, which is also the reason why Zhou Buyi didn't want to leave.
"Who is this candidate for Your Highness?"
"Hua Xin."
"Hua Xin?"
Censor Hua Xin?
This Hua Xin was originally from Cao Pi, the Marquis of Chang'an. Now, such an important task is given to such a person?
Of course, if you do this, you will definitely leave your name in history, and the name you leave will not be very good, but the one who can do this must be Cao Chong's right-hand man.
Many of His Highness are eager to be this evil person for Cao Chong, but Cao Chong gave this candidate to Hua Xin.
"The censor may not be able to be competent."
Cao Chong shook his head.
"Although Hua Xin originally likes Chang'an Marquis, this can only be said that his vision is a bit problematic. Besides, even I don't know if I can reach the end. Hua Xin's choice is understandable. The Censor Yuan Qingyu and Jingjing are polite and lawful, and are the best candidates for this. Besides, letting Hua Xin do it will also reassure those who originally bet on Chang'an Marquis."
Hua Xin did this in his previous life, and it was done quite perfectly. This is also the reason why Cao Chong handed over this task to Hua Xin.
In addition to this purpose, Cao Chong was preparing to accept Cao Pi's original foundation and strength.
When Cao Pi still had theoretical hopes, Cao Chong went to conquer the power behind Cao Pi. Although it was OK, the efficiency was not high, and the effort was not proportional to what he got. Now, Cao Pi had completely become a salted fish that could not be turned over. Cao Chong could naturally conquer these people, and it was easy to conquer them.
And Hua Xin is a signal Cao Chong gave to these people.
Cao Chong obviously did not come to discuss this decision with them.
"This is the case. In addition to this, I have another thing to do."
Since Cao Chong had decided on something, these people in the Prince's Palace naturally dare not refute it.
"Please also let Your Highness say it clearly."
"Didn't I ask you to train a lot of teachers in the past five months?"
Xu Shu was responsible for this matter. He immediately stood up and said, "There are twelve masters who can teach profound scriptures, and the remaining masters have 221."
There are more than 200 people, and there are many, but not many people who have been scattered.
"The twelve masters stayed and continued to recruit scholars from all over the world to come and let these masters teach the scriptures and them. As for the more than 200 people, they were scattered around Yecheng and among the fiefs of our ten counties, they were asked to teach the scriptures and teach the scriptures for free to the people. The Prince's Palace will bear the cost. Wherever they are studying, if there are excellent grades in elementary school, this palace will personally summon them to protect their career."
If you don’t give these people some sweetness, how can they do things for themselves?
And these are the beginning of Cao Chong's compulsory education.
In theory, both men and women can come to primary school for free, but in the end, there must be more men and fewer women, and even girls do not.
The reason is very simple. In this era, there are still many people who prefer boys over girls. Even if they don’t need money to study, staying at home can create wealth for their family members.
Cao Chong was helpless about this. Free elementary schooling is not a small amount for Cao Chong, especially in Yecheng and ten counties. Even if Cao Chong's prince's uterus is rich enough to compete with the country, if he keeps making ends meet, he will not be able to bear it.
Now Cao Chong is using his own money to do things, not using the money of a country to do things.
Compulsory education is Cao Chong's first step, and in this step, Cao Chong will also brainwash these people in a subtle way.
As the successor of socialism, Cao Chong is really good at this kind of thing.
Of course, when he was the crown prince, it was not the time when Cao Chong truly displayed his ambitions. When Cao Chong truly displayed his ambitions, he became the King of Wei and the master of the world.
There is still a big difference between the top leader and the second leader.
"Also, the first imperial examination is about to begin, so I will be determined the day after tomorrow. Kong Ming is responsible for the first exam, Master is responsible for the master, and I will take a look at the last person who is left."
In the imperial examination system, Cao Chong finally took root in this land.
There is no more appropriate time for the imperial examination system to take root and sprout than now.
"promise!"
Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang nodded in response.
After giving these instructions, Cao Chong looked at the time and knew that the morning court was about to begin, so he said to His Highness: "It's getting late. Everyone, let's go to the court with me. There will be a good show today."
Originally, the Luoyang Marquis Mansion naturally did not have much power in the court, but after Cao Chong became the crown prince, there were already many more people qualified to attend court.
In addition, Cao Chong has specially promoted many people from the Prince's Palace in the past five months, so Cao Chong's power in the court has become more powerful.
Of course, Cao Chong also got the answer from Boss Cao first to do these things.
Cao Chong will do only what Cao Cao promised, and Cao Chong has never done anything that Cao Cao did not agree to.
This is the awareness of being the second-in-command.
