In the next few days, the court of the Song Dynasty could only be described as turbulent.
First, Wu Zhizhong went to the memorial to state the current shortcomings. He believed that the annual imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty demonstrated the prosperity of the Song Dynasty's literary fortune.
However, since the system of selecting scholars by imperial examination was inherited from the former Tang Dynasty, it was imperfect in many aspects, including the teaching system.
As a result, the achievements of scholars in various regions of the Song Dynasty were very different and very uneven.
In addition, there are many talented people who are originally very smart and talented, but they cannot get the guidance of good teachers, which makes it difficult for their test scores to improve and even lags behind.
To this end, we requested the imperial court's permission to establish official schools in all prefectures, prefectures, and counties of the Song Dynasty.
In addition, the imperial court is requested to appoint officials to serve as academic officials to ensure academic style and discipline, and at the same time bear the responsibility of teaching and educating people.
Look, this is the art of speaking. It doesn't involve the issue of redundant officials at all. It just does it for the sake of selecting scholars for the imperial examination and selecting materials for the Song Dynasty.
Fu Xue, Prefecture Xue, and County Xue all have Xuezheng. The County Xue Zheng is the ninth rank, and the teaching instructions are from the Ninth Rank. The state Xue and Fu Xue Xue Zheng are the eighth rank, and there will also be teaching instructions below.
In addition, there will be some discipline officers appointed by the Imperial College to inspect various local official schools and strictly inspect the teaching and other aspects.
Although it is not a high-power official position, it can teach and educate people, and it can also solve the problem of many officials who have nothing to do all day long and wander around in the streets.
In this regard, the courtiers did not have much objection, even after this court meeting.
Many street gangsters hurriedly asked for connections and relatives and friends, hoping to see if they had a chance to do something serious.
Being able to do something meaningful for the court and the country is much better than waiting to die as a worm.
It can be said that the establishment of various official schools in the world did not encounter much resistance and was quickly passed.
Even the official Zhao Ji, who had ruthlessly harvested the goodwill of those poor scholars, felt that this foolish king had finally done something good.
Although he is still a fool, at least there is no need to scold him too harshly.

But the next step is to set up three envoys. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, the three envoys are also called Jixiang.
This responsibility is entrusted to a deputy prime minister to shoulder this important task.
But now there is a problem: the traitor Cai Jing is not happy.
After all, he is the figure who covers the sky with one hand in the Great Song Dynasty, and his desire for power and control is very strong.
But now, the officials want to reset the three envoys and hand them over to a deputy prime minister. This is simply a clear-cut attempt to divide the power of the Song Dynasty Prime Minister.
It's strange that Cai Jing would be so happy, but he, Cai Jing, is such a sophisticated and cunning person.
Faced with this suggestion put forward by the officials, it was naturally impossible for him to stand up and oppose it himself, but he also worriedly told the officials that he was afraid that there would be a lot of resistance from the DPRK.
Looking at Cai Jing who said goodbye and turned around to leave, official Zhao Ji's expression became obviously gloomy.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, wondering why he couldn't hear Cai Jing's words.
It was obviously just an excuse, because he felt that his rights as the leader of the Song Dynasty would be diluted.
"It's in vain that I value him so much and regard him as a mere butt, yet I actually try to push back on everything I do..."
Hearing the increasingly angry and high-pitched voice of the official Zhao Ji, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice.
"Please ask the officials to calm down the thunderous anger. It is indeed inappropriate for Prime Minister Cai to do this. However, Prime Minister Cai is your confidant after all. Everything in the court is complicated, and Prime Minister Cai still needs to be in charge..."
Official Zhao Ji naturally knew that what Yang Jian said was true, but he was very angry in his heart. After muttering a few words, he let out a long sigh, leaned on the couch, and stared at the ceiling blankly. .
Replace Cai Jing? Since he is not happy, let him move his position and let someone else do the work.
This thought suddenly came into the mind of the official Zhao Ji, and for the first time, Xiao Gao's youthful little face flashed across his mind.
In the end, the official Zhao Ji gave up this very tempting idea. After all, Xiao Gao was still too young. He still had to exercise hard. Xiao Gao had no shortage of martial arts and civil arts.
Even though he is now famous all over the world, after all, he still lacks some weight in the court.
Unless he can make some more achievements that will make it difficult for everyone to find fault.
For example, go to the northwest, fight a few battles, achieve some great achievements, and then return the favor with credit. When that time comes, it is not impossible for him to be in power and serve as deputy prime minister.
After that, I will exercise again, thinking that in the not-too-distant future, master, apprentice, monarch, and ministers will be able to be together and create an unprecedented prosperity in the Song Dynasty.
The official couldn't help but reveal a happy and satisfied smile on his face.
"???" Yang Jian on the side felt numb all over.
Looking at the official lying on the couch with a dark face, he was obviously in such a bad mood at first.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, he actually became happy with his eyes wide open. What the hell does this mean?
"Sigh... that's all. Since Cai Jing is the one who is trying to push back, I'll first take a look at the opinions of all the officials in the court."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat, knowing in his heart that the official family had made a decision. Since it was in private, Cai Jing was clearly not happy with the pushback.
Then, just put it on the table and see the opinions of the officials in the court.
But if this is done, can the official family withstand the pressure?
Yang Jian couldn't help but twist the corner of his mouth, but quickly calmed it down again.
#####
Cai Jing, with a gloomy face and a very unhappy mood, returned to the house. After walking a few steps, he raised his head as if aware.
He saw the chubby Liulang Cai Yao, walking in a step that was more arrogant and domineering than him, the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, looking at the road with his nose, and walking towards the gate of the mansion.
Behind him, a group of henchmen, one or two of them quite useless, surrounded him and walked towards him with their heads bowed.
But when someone sensed murderous intent and saw Prime Minister Cai Jing standing in the distance with a dark face, they quickly reminded everyone.
Naturally, Cai Laoliu also saw his own father blocking the way with a dark face, and couldn't help frowning, feeling very unhappy in his heart.
But considering that after all, he was a dignified elder with both loyalty and filial piety, he moved to the front and bowed to his biological father.
"Dad, why are you so unhappy? Could it be that you have encountered something difficult?"
"...Where are you going?"
Hearing his father's question, Cai Laoliu subconsciously put his hands behind his back with a very serious expression.
"Ben, um... I was invited by Gao Hanlin and Mr. Tong Ge. The two of them asked my son to come over and explain. I think there must be some important matters that require my guidance."
"..."
There will be a big push tomorrow, hey hey, I will give another big push to congratulate you. The five updates will start after midnight. During this period, I will try my best to make five updates.
