Chapter 144: Right in the middle
After coming out of the palace, Wei Renshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Wei Renshi didn't know what it was like to see the emperor alone when he first entered the palace.
However, judging from the current results, it seems to be OK.
As for Chongwenguan...
In addition to the six academic halls of the Imperial College, the Imperial College, the Four Schools, the Law School, the Calligraphy and the Mathematical Sciences of the Tang Dynasty, there were also Hongwenguan, which belonged to Menxia Province and Chongwenguan, which belonged to the East Palace.
Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan both have the function of "teaching students and other professions", and only noble and high-ranking officials are eligible to enter.
The two museums, Hongwen and Chongwen, were important components of the central government's school in the Tang Dynasty and were the highest-level Guiwei school in the Tang Dynasty. The two museums have a high status and are located in the forbidden area. They are not close to the bachelor's degree and have the dual nature of education and political senatorship, and the future political identities and status of the students in them will also be different.
The two halls were the products of the political environment of the Tang Dynasty. Hongwenguan belonged to Menxia Province, and Chongwenguan was the Donggong Academy. This directly determined the different roles of the bachelor's and students in the Tang Dynasty politics.
Due to its high status, the two museums, Hongwen and Chongwen have very few enrollment quotas and their enrollment qualifications are quite strict. Although the two museums have their own subjects, the "investment and full height" of their enrollment standards is consistent. The integration of enrollment conditions is the "sampling for Hongwen and Chongwen students".
The students of the two halls were mainly selected from the descendants of the third-rank honorary officials in Beijing. In the early Tang Dynasty, the students of the two halls enjoyed some important political and economic benefits, such as students who were exempt from classes and work, and the school provided food and accommodation, and could pay homage to the emperor, as well as preferential treatment for officials and imperial examinations.
The two museums recruit and cultivate noble children to take care of the high-ranking officials of the dynasty and show the emperor's grace and honors to consolidate the stability of the ruling group.
There is even a special provision for the imperial examination "Hongwen and Chongwen Shengsheng" to provide convenience to students from the two museums.
In the early Tang Dynasty, students from the two halls initially relied on Menyin to enter the government office. After entering the two halls, the requirements for students from the two halls were relatively low when they graduated from the school. Students from the two halls took the imperial examination, and there were separate questions and "simple test" preferential treatment. Although there were many changes afterwards, this preferential treatment has always been there.
However, the status of Chongwenguan has already plummeted.
In the early Tang Dynasty, in view of the unstable inheritance of the throne in the Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, the emperor believed that the main reason was the result of not cultivating a good successor.
Therefore, traditional inheritance of eldest sons is given more importance, giving the crown prince power, and strengthening the power of the Eastern Palace. However, the crown prince disappointed the emperor and the preferences of the ruler were difficult to understand, so the matter of establishing a crown prince and abolishing the crown prince often happens.
The battle for imperial power was extremely fierce, but the result was that the bloody palace coup could not be avoided.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he changed his previous practices and performed the opposite way, and weakened his power.
The prince generally does not live in the Eastern Palace, but lives in a separate courtyard with the emperor.
Since then, Chongwenguan, which served the crown prince, also plummeted.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the officials of the Eastern Palace in the Tang Dynasty began to develop in the trend of following the imperial power. When Emperor Xuanzong was a king, he won the position of emperor with the assistance of his subordinates such as Yao and Song, so he paid special attention to limiting the relationship between the prince and the scholars of Chongwenguan.
In the late Tang Dynasty, many emperors did not buy any crown princes, and the autocratic eunuchs often supported the new emperor before the emperor died.
Therefore, the power of the Eastern Palace has become even more declining, and it is conceivable that the status of Chongwenguan changes.
Although it is not as good as the late Tang Dynasty, the actual status of Chongwenguan cannot be compared with Hongwenguan.
So it is not a good reward to let Wei Renshi enter the Chongwen Pavilion.
Entering Hongwen Pavilion is the symbol of the emperor showing favor and high hopes.
However, to others, you may feel disappointed when you go to Chongwenguan instead of Hongwenguan. This means that the emperor just gave him a reward and did not have any special care.
But for Wei Renshi, he was just right.
Because no matter when, no matter how much Chongwenguan declines, it cannot change the fact that it is for the service of the crown prince.
Since it is serving the crown prince, even if the Chongwenguan is no longer in status, no matter how much the East Palace loses its previous power, it is still the East Palace’s school.
Since it is the school of the East Palace, it naturally belongs to the East Palace lineage and belongs to the prince.
And no matter who becomes the prince, this reality will not change.
This means that Wei Renshi can not only have the opportunity to contact the current crown prince Li Song in the Chongwen Hall, but also may also have the opportunity to contact the future crown prince Li Chun, and even Li Chun's princes.
Originally, in history, it was not far from the time when Li Shi passed away.
And if it follows the original trajectory of history, Li Song is a more unlucky person.
The crown prince had been in his life and had no stroke before he ascended the throne and lost the ability to move and speak. After being the emperor for eight months, he was honored as the Supreme Emperor. After several months of Li Chun ascended the throne, he died.
It's only been a few years!
So let's report Li Chun's thighs as soon as possible.
In this way, going to Chongwenguan is much more convenient.
That's fine.
Wei Renshi was in a good mood, and hummed a little while and left the Zhuque Gate and went home.
When they returned home, the four of them were still there. Waiting for Wei Renshi to go back, they hurriedly gathered around to ask.
"Your Majesty asked me some things, and I don't know if I can tell you now." Wei Renshi said to the four of them.
When everyone heard this, Han Yu said, "Then Mr. Wei, don't say more."
The rest of them nodded and said yes.
Wei Renshi nodded, and said nothing more, but said, "There is one thing that can be said. Today, Your Majesty spoke and was preparing to let me enter Chongwenguan and study."
The four of them were all surprised when they heard Wei Renshi's words, but Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were surprised and immediately showed joy. Han Yu and Zhang Ji did not show any performance.
Liu Zongyuan was shocked again: "Chongwenguan! Chongwenguan is the Eastern Palace Academy, and His Highness the Crown Prince is also listening to the lecture. This time, Mr. Wei... His Majesty would actually let Mr. Wei enter the Chongwenguan directly! But he didn't know what this meant?!"
"Who can understand the thoughts of the saint?" Liu Yuxi shook his head and said, "But in this way, Langjun Wei can directly see His Highness the Crown Prince and the King's Secretariat."
Haha, is there still a need to speculate?
Li Shi is preparing manpower for Li Song.
He should have realized that his body is getting worse day by day.
Li Shi was quite satisfied with Li Song, the crown prince. In history, even if Li Song had a stroke, he was paralyzed and could not speak or move, and he never thought of establishing another crown prince, so he still let Li Song inherit the throne.
Li Shi was very worried about his son Li Song's condition and was worried. He visited him several times. He sent people to visit him. He was sent to visit famous doctors to treat him.
Li Song was bedridden and failed to attend the New Year's Day meeting that year. Li Shi sighed sadly, causing his health to worsen. When he was seriously ill, all the kings, ministers and relatives all came to his bed to serve decoctions. However, Li Song was unable to accompany him because he was ill in bed. Therefore, Li Shi kept crying and unable to calm down for a long time, and his physical condition worsened and he was unable to do so after a few days.
Wei Renshi felt that Li Shi arranged for him to enter the Chongwen Hall, so that he could keep an eye on him more closely, and secondly, he was to prepare personnel for Prince Li Song.
