Chu Xiujie also figured it out completely at this time. As a superior, once the rules are set, they just need to be followed. Don't think about breaking the rules for what you think is fairness.
Because once the rules are broken, there is actually no so-called fairness. If the people who make the rules do not abide by the rules, then others will become suspicious of the rule makers, and the impact will be even more serious.
Chu Xiujie also put forward his own point of view at this time: "Your Majesty, how can ordinary students get more opportunities under the existing rules?"
Chu Fan had long known that Chu Xiujie would ask this question, so he said, "I, haven't I already made a plan? The academy system I established a few months ago is designed to allow ordinary people to gain promotion opportunities through hard work and talent, and gradually improve their social status.
The imperial court established primary schools in all towns, middle schools in prefectures and counties, and universities in Kaifeng. Isn't this a gradual process? Furthermore, tuition is very low, and there are scholarships and grants available. As long as ordinary students are truly talented or willing to work hard, they can obtain a better education through these channels. In time, they will naturally stand out with their own strengths and gradually change their destiny.
Instead of blindly breaking the rules like you do, giving opportunities as if it were alms. When these ordinary students achieve success through their own efforts, the students from the aristocratic families will also respect them. Only then will they truly recognize each other and form a harmonious social atmosphere. Only through fair competition can everyone be convinced and can the graduates of Shengwu University truly win the hearts and minds of the people of the world.
Another point is that when these ordinary students graduate and enter law firms, they will cherish the rewards of their hard work even more, and thus will not be easily tempted by money and will stick to their mission as lawyers."
After hearing these words, Chu Xiujie suddenly realized something and his mind suddenly became clear. He felt that it was a good thing that he came to the palace to ask His Majesty. If he had insisted on making a decision in Yaocheng, he might have made an irreparable mistake.
Chu Xiujie deeply admired His Majesty's far-sighted perspective and replied respectfully, "I know what should be done, but there's one thing I'm still confused about. I hope Your Majesty can clarify this for me: why can't we admit children from families with criminal records? Isn't that unfair to them?"
Chu Fan only then thought of this problem and immediately asked his servant Qiuya to ask Eunuch Li to come into the Imperial Garden. Because Chu Fan had been so disloyal to his wife, Eunuch Li was no longer able to serve him. Instead, Qiuya and four other maids served him personally. Whenever there was anything, Qiuya would call Eunuch Li in from outside the courtyard and Chu Fan would give him instructions.
Of course, Eunuch Li was not angry about this situation but very happy. Of course, Eunuch Li was happy not because he no longer had to serve His Majesty, but because His Majesty and women like Qiuya could have more time to practice, and then they would be able to give His Majesty more children and continue the royal bloodline.
After Eunuch Li entered the Imperial Garden, Chu Fan immediately ordered, "Little Li, go notify the Imperial Government Affairs Office, the six ministers, and the other two citadel lords. Have them gather in the Imperial Study in the palace tomorrow afternoon for a meeting. Tell them that I have something to discuss tomorrow."
After receiving the order, Eunuch Li withdrew and quickly arranged for people to convey the decree to ensure that the message could be delivered to these ministers today.
Chu Fan continued to speak to Chu Xiujie, "Regarding this matter, I will explain it in detail tomorrow after everyone has gathered. Prince Zhong, please go back today and prepare for the enrollment of Shengwu University. Everything will be carried out according to the established regulations."
After paying his respects, Chu Xiujie left the Imperial Garden, thinking to himself: After returning to Yaocheng and arranging the enrollment of Shengwu University, I will think about why His Majesty does not allow the admission of children with criminal records in their families.
At the same time, Chu Xiujie also felt that His Majesty was truly far-sighted, and his way of governing the country and maintaining peace was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After leaving the palace, Chu Xiujie looked back at the towering walls and said softly, "Your Majesty is truly worthy of being the sage king predicted in the prophecy. Every decision he makes is profoundly meaningful. There is truly no other member of the royal family more worthy of being the emperor of Wei than Your Majesty."
Of course, Chu Fan in the palace didn't know Chu Xiujie's thoughts. Watching Chu Xiujie leave, Chu could only smile bitterly. Want complete fairness? How could that be possible?
Not to mention the Wei Kingdom, which was an empire ruled by feudal rulers, even...
Chu Fan thought about some things and didn't want to comment anymore. Now all Chu Fan could do was to try his best to ensure relative fairness and give every talented person the opportunity to realize their ambitions.
Chu Xiujie only saw that this time, Shengwu University recruited more students from aristocratic families than ordinary people, but had he ever thought about what would happen if he violated the established rules in order to recruit ordinary people this time?
So, will Shengwu University change its rules for students from aristocratic families in the future for the sake of money or power? After all, it was you, Chu Xiujie, who set the precedent. Once the rules are broken, when others follow suit, the credibility of the entire system will be destroyed. Therefore, Chu Fan would not agree with Chu Xiujie's proposal.
Furthermore, Chu Xiujie's question wouldn't be a problem in the future. As long as the living standards of the people of Wei gradually improved and more children of ordinary people could receive education, the gap between students from aristocratic families and those from ordinary families would naturally narrow. In the future, Shengwu University might even enroll more children from ordinary families than from aristocratic families.
How many aristocratic families are there in the Wei Kingdom? But there are tens of thousands of ordinary people. As long as the court gives them opportunities, countless talents will gradually emerge from the common people. Will they still be afraid that Shengwu University will only recruit children from aristocratic families?
As long as Chu Xiujie recruits students according to the rules this time, then in the future when Shengwu University recruits more ordinary people than students from aristocratic families, those aristocratic families will have no excuse to ask Chu Xiujie to change the rules for them.
