Naturally, there was another loud voice of promise below, and Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to reason with them. This group of people would not be afraid until the previous group died. In this case, let's meet again in a few months.
After announcing his resignation, Zhu Biao followed his father back to the imperial study. Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and took a sip of tea. His mouth was dry from what he had just said. After asking his son to sit down next to him, he asked: "Do you feel that it is a little bit to punish his whole family?" pass?"
Zhu Biao nodded slightly. After all, there must be children in their family who are not familiar with the world, but the criminal law can do nothing about it: "Although I am a little intolerant, I also know that a king should not be angry when a traitor is a tiger, and a traitor should not be killed. The truth is that a thief is found."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily and said: "The current unhealthy atmosphere in the officialdom is a legacy of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. They are too indulgent to the officials and gentry. If you want to change it now, you can only be ruthless. If they are greedy again in the future, they will I will give you advice for the sake of your own life."
Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "The external strife has been settled, but the internal strife has not stopped. Now it is time to use heavy codes in troubled times, but the law should be perfected as soon as possible, so that there will be specific regulations in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood this truth. He had long said that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first step was to establish principles and disciplines. Therefore, in October of the first year of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Li Shanchang as the chief officer of the law, and consulted on political affairs Yang Xian and Fu Zhen, as well as the imperial censor Zhongcheng Liu Ji. Tao An, a Hanlin scholar, and 20 other people formed the legislative body of the Law Officers and formulated the laws and regulations to be used in the founding of the People's Republic of China and New Year's Eve.
But now, that law is somewhat imperfect, and even somewhat unbalanced. After all, the situation of the country has changed a lot. The first year of Wu and the current four years of Hongwu are naturally very different.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Then I will go to the Imperial College."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved him away, and he could think carefully about who to use to perfect the law and formulate Ming law that suits the current situation. Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Song Lian are all gone, so it is really hard to find someone now.
After Zhu Biao left the palace, he got into his car and drove straight to Jining Mountain. After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtian, he changed Yingtianfu School to Guozijian. After establishing the capital in Nanjing, he rebuilt the school building at the foot of Jiming Mountain and changed the school into a prison, so it was called Guozijian. .
Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes here. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the problem of insufficient civil servants in the court was exposed. Hundreds of thousands of officials were needed from the central government to local governments, from provinces to prefectures and counties. How could Zhu Yuanzhang have the foundation to spend so much loyalty? A capable and honest official.
Therefore, the academy was established early. The results cannot be said to be zero, but they are not ideal. It has been four years since then. Many local officials have been appointed and many vacancies have been filled. Unfortunately, nothing is outstanding.
As for the reason, it is simple. Zhu Biao put down the rules and regulations of the Imperial College. This school was run by his father like a place to train tool men, and used extremely harsh discipline to restrain students and even teachers.
The regulations of the Imperial College are that students who are not good at their studies will be punished if they have harsh rules. The Shengxing Hall has two red execution benches, and two direct officials are assigned to torture the students.
The Superintendent of the Supervisory Committee has a book of complaints, and any student in each hall who dares to disobey the school rules will be punished. First-time offenders will be recorded, second-time offenders will be slapped with five strokes, third-time offenders will be slapped with ten strokes, and fourth-time offenders will be sent to resettlement.
The eunuch has the power of life and death over the eunuchs, and the eunuchs have no reason to complain or resist. The servants and cooks in the Imperial Academy are appointed by the imperial court as prisoners on death row. If they disobey orders three times, they will be punished by beheading.
If students have questions about their studies, they must kneel down and listen. Criticism of personnel management and life is absolutely prohibited. Association activities are absolutely prohibited. Students are not allowed to wear prison uniforms. If anything happens, they must be notified in advance, and their writing must not be disorderly.
The most serious one is that anyone who dares to insult the teacher and then accuses the traitor will commit a crime in the name of the official and is offensive to moral standards. The prisoner will be punished with a hundred canes and sent to the south to be exiled to the army.
There is no clear definition of the so-called insulting and humiliating the teacher, and the meaning can be expanded arbitrarily. In the final analysis, it is the teachers of the Imperial College who have the final say. If you say you insult the teacher, you are insulting the teacher. If you dare to refute, then even more Proved this.
Zhu Biao looked at the students who had served as officials in the Imperial College in the past two years. They were either bookworms who followed the rules, or extremely corrupt people who had bottomed out.
My father is indeed not a talented person in this field. Fortunately, there is no electricity in this era. Otherwise, according to Lao Zhu's character, rules must be set. Anyone who does not learn well will be punished with electric shock, and the title of King of Thunder and Lightning will belong to Lao Zhu. .
The majestic chariot stopped in front of the Imperial College gate. The sacrificial wine led a group of people who had been waiting for a long time. Liu Jin opened the curtain and Zhu Biao got out of the carriage. The Imperial chariot took a step forward to welcome him, and then led the people to kneel down and said, "I welcome you." Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Qianqiu.”
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Wang Jijiu is free of charge. I have been ordered by the emperor to select some outstanding students. I hope Jijiu will not hesitate to recommend them."
The Imperial Master's surname is Wang. He is an old master who is well-known in the literary world. He is especially good at landscape and ink painting. He met Zhu Biao several times when he followed Song Lian. The old Master stood up and stroked his beard and said: "The Imperial College is originally a place to cultivate talented people for the country. Since His Highness is here personally, I will naturally recommend the best students so that they can serve the country."
Zhu Biao was surrounded by stars like a moon and entered the highest-level university in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang still attached great importance to it. The imperial court was as poor as the Imperial Academy. Zhu Biao took a brief tour of the grand scale and the buildings inside were quite complete. In addition to the shooting garden, warehouse, sanatorium, and storage room, there are also classrooms, libraries, student dormitories, and canteens, all of which add up to more than 2,000 rooms.
Zhu Biao also saw many students hurriedly walking toward the school while reciting books. Regardless of whether they showed it to Zhu Biao on purpose, Zhu Biao was quite satisfied. Inexplicably, he remembered that he suddenly came to school. During the inspection by the inspection team.
As Zhu Biao walked through the courtyard, he saw the subtle words and righteousness of the sages of the past dynasties everywhere, and the famous sayings and aphorisms were also carved on the stone walls and wooden pillars. Zhu Biao asked casually: "What do the students study on weekdays?"
Wang Jijiu smiled and said: "The Imperial College is based on filial piety, etiquette, loyalty, and integrity. The courses use classics such as "Yi", "Poems", "Books", "Spring and Autumn", and "Li" as teaching materials. "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are common basic courses. In addition, you also need to study current affairs documents such as court laws.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything after hearing this. He walked to a house to sign up for the Shengchun Hall. Wang Jijiu stopped Zhu Biao and said, "The Shengchun Hall is a place to correct mistakes. If a student is unlearned and has no skills, he will be forced to go in and use bamboo." There is nothing inside except two red stools. Given your high status, it is best not to enter."
Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. Even if he beat a student, he wouldn't pick one now. He just asked: "How many students are punished on weekdays?"
