The aristocratic families all had bitter smiles on their faces. The aristocratic families could secretly plot against the others and work together to ostracize them, but when it came to the Kong family, they were helpless. The Kong family was the descendant of Kong Sheng, and if they dared to plot against them, they would be condemned by all the scholars in the world.
"But Your Majesty, I have a question, and I hope Your Majesty can answer it." Kong Yingda suddenly changed the topic.
Li Shimin solved a big problem, so he was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Minister Kong, please ask, I will answer all your questions."
Kong Yingda said with a troubled face, "Your Majesty asked me to transform all the private schools into primary schools in order to promote homophone education. However, there is another type of school in the world. I don't know if it is under the jurisdiction of the Minister.
"Oh! What kind of dormitory is it? "Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
Kong Yingda turned to Meton and bowed solemnly, "That is the compulsory education of the Village Mo. I am ashamed to say that the idea of this primary school was created by Merton. It is a model for primary schools, so it should be the first in the world. But in fact, this is the private school of the Village Mo. It is a private school."
The officials were all smart people. They couldn't help but be stunned. They stared at Kong Yingda and Modun, dumbfounded. No one had thought that Kong Yingda's goal was to control the School of Mo's education in order to suppress the School of Mo.
The scene of the sincere cooperation between the House of Mo and the House of Mo was still vivid in their minds. Li Shimin was proud of the plan of the hundred schools against the aristocratic families. However, in the blink of an eye, the boat of friendship between the House of Mo and the House of Mo was capsized.
"The Imperial College is in charge of all the schools in the world. Of course, the Village Mo is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College." Du Chuke added insult to injury.
"Yes! Merton just said that all the land in the world belongs to the king, and all the people in the land are the king's subjects. Is the Village Mo also a place outside the law? "Yu Zhining said ruthlessly.
…
Kong Huisuo was dumbfounded as he watched the situation in the imperial court change. Just a moment ago, the Mo family and the Confucian family had cooperated sincerely. In the blink of an eye, all the spears in the imperial court were pointed at the Mo family once again. As he was in the middle, he could not advance or retreat. He could only helplessly lower his head.
Upon seeing this, Meton did not panic at all and retorted sarcastically, "The Village of Mo Family is naturally not a place outside the law and naturally receives the supervision of the imperial court. However, the Mo Family also implements primary education and at the same time provides free compulsory education for all villagers. I wonder how Chancellor Kong thinks the Village of Mo Family should be improved?"
Many ministers were speechless. In terms of the scale and level of education, the Mo Family Village could be said to be the model of the world. Even if they were to pick a bone in an egg, they would not be able to find a place to start!
Kong Yingda suddenly smiled strangely and said, "The free compulsory education in the Village of Mo's Village is naturally a model for the world. However, as far as I know, the textbooks used in the Village of Mo's Village are completely different from those used in other schools. Thanks to His Majesty's great kindness, I am in charge of all the schools in the world. When the time comes, I will revise the national language so as to promote the homophone. At that time, I hope the Village of Mo's Village will not become a place outside the law."
Meton suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "You want to revise the national language?"
"Of course. The previous national language was compiled by Master Li alone. Although it had some merits, this time it is about the century-long plan of the Tang dynasty. Naturally, we need to gather the great scholars to recompile it." Kong Yingda said matter-of-factly. The other officials also echoed and supported Kong Yingda, leaning towards the Confucian School.
Meton could not help but ponder. Kong Yingda's purpose could not be said to be not good. His revision of the national language was naturally leaning towards the Confucian School. If the Village of Mo adopted the Confucian textbooks, wouldn't it be that even Brother Mo Jiazi would be influenced by the Confucian School? Would such a School of Mo still be the School of Mo?
Li Shimin's eyes also flashed. His gaze swept back and forth between Meton and Kong Yingda. However, he did not change his expression. He needed the hundred schools to balance the aristocratic families, so naturally, he also wanted to see the hundred schools balance each other.
Meton's heart skipped a beat. He laughed and said, "Master Li is the Chancellor of the Imperial College. This is his duty and the School of Mo will naturally abide by it. However, as far as I know, primary schools are not only opened for the Confucian School. The School of Medicine needs to recruit apprentices from there. The Military School needs to recruit soldiers who are loyal to the country and can read and write. The students need to understand the history of Huaxia and the geography of the Tang dynasty. These cannot be covered only by the Four Books and Five Classics. The Minister believes that to recompile the national language, we must hold a meeting of the hundred schools!"
"A meeting of the hundred schools!" Kong Yingda's eyes narrowed. Although only the Confucian School was respected, if a meeting of the hundred schools was held, the Confucian School would only be one of the hundred schools. In the previous two meetings of the hundred schools, the Confucian School had been a bystander.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to step forward and said in a clear voice, "I second the motion. The students taught by those sour scholars look down on soldiers. How will the new recruit plan be implemented? The newly revised 《Guowen》 must promote the military and let every student be like Ban Chao and have the dream of throwing away their pen and joining the army."
"That's right! Throw away the pen and join the army, and build a career! "Many of the generals agreed. They were full of praise for Cheng Yaojin's idea.
Kong Yingda was so angry that his nose almost became crooked. If all the students were going to throw away the pen and join the army, then he would just let the Minister of War be the Chancellor of the Imperial College.
However, this was not the end. An unexpected person stepped out. Kong Yingda immediately calmed down.
"Studying history can make one wise. As long as one is a citizen of Huaxia, even if one is a commoner, he or she can be proud of the thousands of years of history of Huaxia. I think the people of the world should also know about Huaxia's history." Yan Shigu stepped out.
The officials were stunned. Yan Shigu's ancestor was one of the disciples of the Kong Family. Although Yan Shigu studied history, he was a branch of the Confucian School. They did not expect that he would stand against the Confucian School today.
Kong Yingda's face turned ugly. However, the Confucian School and the Shi Family were of the same origin. In addition, the Kong Family and the Yan Family had a thousand years of friendship. Today, there would be hostility between them.
"Of course, as a citizen of the Tang dynasty, we should know about the vast territory of the Tang dynasty. I think it is very necessary to let every student know about the local customs and customs of each province." Li Tai's face flashed with excitement. If his book could be included in the national language, it would be a great honor for all the students in the world to know.
"It is a big taboo to not be diligent in physical work and not be able to distinguish between grains. It is beneficial to let the students know about the farmers!" The Minister of Agriculture, Su Ling Nong, also spoke up for the farmers.
"Although the Taoist School is detached from the world, Lao Zhuang's writing is also a treasure in the world. It should be known by all the students in the world." The Minister of History, Li Chunfeng, was not to be outdone.
"Spread the law to all the students in the world. If everyone obeys the law, the world will be peaceful." The Minister of Justice, Li Daozong, said proudly.
"The School of Medicine …" The Minister of History, Li Chunfeng, gritted his teeth and strode out. It was the first time in his life that he wrote a memorial to the Imperial Court.
…
All of a sudden, the Imperial Court was filled with hundreds of schools of thought contending. None of them were willing to be outdone. They wanted to gain a foothold in Confucianism. Everyone knew that this was the only way for the Hundred Schools of Thought to gain a foothold. Otherwise, they would fade into the masses. Just like the Hundred Schools of Thought, they would only be recorded by historians and disappear into the river of history.
Kong Yingda's face was as gloomy as water. He did not expect the schools of thought to be unwilling to be left out even before the universal primary school had begun. What made him even more regretful was that when he was about to plot against the House of Mo, the House of Mo led the other schools of thought to force him to abdicate.
In addition, Kong Yingda had offended all the aristocratic families for the sake of the Kong Family. Kong Yingda was suddenly isolated in the Imperial Court.
Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's convene the Hundred School Conference."
Even if the Hundred School Conference was convened, as the Chancellor of the Imperial College, the decision to rewrite the national language was still in his hands. Kong Yingda naturally had nothing to fear.
