Chapter 1394 Discussion
The atmosphere of the banquet in the inner house was not very lively. Except for the generals who gathered at several tables and drank till their glasses were dry, almost all the civil servants tried to restrain their emotions because several ministers would discuss matters with His Majesty the Emperor after the banquet. An unprecedented college was about to be established, so he didn't dare to drink, and even the civil servants who always had a wink didn't dare to be rude in front of the chief officer.
Vaguely, everyone knows that this college has some skills, and it may even have a profound impact on the stability of the government in the future...
Before the banquet was over, His Majesty Li Er stood up and went to the backyard study accompanied by Fang Xuanling.
Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Gao Shilian, the right servant of Shen Guogong, Ling Cenwen of Zhongshu, Xiao Yu, Xin Xin, who were deposed from the position of prime minister and assistant in the eighth year of Zhenguan and were "specially promoted" by the emperor to participate in central government affairs. Ren Jingzhao, Yin Mazhou, Hubu Shangshu Tang Jian, Xingbu Shangshu Liu Dewei, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Liu Jie...all the bigwigs from the government and the public left the table one after another and followed the emperor's footsteps.
The noise at the banquet gradually subsided. Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Niu Jinda and other generals who were neither qualified to discuss political affairs nor wanted to get involved in this muddy water gave up their breathing and waited for this matter. Preliminary conclusions.
After all, the impact is too far-reaching...
*****
The atmosphere in the study room is relaxed and comfortable.
His Majesty Li Er has always flaunted his own charm, obsessed with impressing his ministers with his wise and martial talents, and influencing people's hearts with the friendship of fighting side by side. He simply does not bother to use those rigid rules to enhance his majesty and exaggerate himself as "the son of heaven". sacred status.
He rose up in the flames of war and gained this supreme position in the world with his perseverance, wise mind and brave body. He has endless self-confidence and is able to lead these extremely talented people under his command to create an unprecedented world. A powerful empire and create a prosperous dynasty that will last forever!
The maids dressed in flowers and butterflies served the tea, then all bowed and bowed before exiting the study.
A group of undisputed bosses were sitting relaxedly in the study. Due to the limited space, they were very close to each other. They were talking and laughing with each other. Even His Majesty Li Er made a joke: "Look at the various figures of these maids. With a soft and delicate face, is it possible that Fang Xianlin has finally become a man in his old age and has convinced your lady to agree that you should enjoy the blessings of everyone?”
Fang Xuanling suddenly became embarrassed and speechless...
Everyone started laughing, almost all of them with a teasing look on their faces.
This is not to pretend to smile in order to flatter His Majesty Li Er. He has been working with Fang Xuanling for many years. Who doesn't know that Fang Xuanling, who is in charge of the Tang Dynasty, is actually an extremely henpecked "hypocrite"? Thinking about the colorful inner courtyard of their house and the happy life of "being a bridegroom every night", everyone felt comfortable in their hearts.
What can you do if Fang Xuanling is the head of the dynasty?
The value of a man in this life is nothing more than "power and sex". When it comes to "power", Fang Xuanling, although he is the chief minister, has not been famous for a few years, but when it comes to "sex", Fang Xuanling is a complete loser.
What kind of man is he if he doesn't sleep with all kinds of beauties in his life?
Even if I gave you the whole world, there would still be some shortcomings...
His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily a few times, then suddenly thought of something, his face stiffened slightly, he carefully turned his head and glanced at the door, then coughed dryly and said seriously: "Okay, there must be a limit to joking. Although Mrs. Fang has a temperament He is a bit tough, but he is still considered a hero among women. I have always admired him, so... let’s talk about business.”
Fang Xuanling complained in her heart: As an emperor, you openly laugh at ministers, and then in turn discourage others from joking... How can it be justified when you are the emperor and you are the biggest?
Everyone looked straight and sat upright.
After all, the expansion of the "Martial Arts Hall" is quite special and needs to be dealt with with caution.
Although this matter is just a discussion of Confucian views on this at this moment, and it does not even comply with the procedures for bringing it to the political hall, if it is not handled properly, the impact will be extremely far-reaching. His Majesty Li Er was worried that because the academy gathered knowledge from legalists, medical experts, yin-yangists, military strategists and other schools, Confucianists would think that this was oppression of them, thus creating a sense of crisis and all-round opposition and resistance.
Confucianism, which has been the big brother for hundreds of years and has suppressed hundreds of schools of thought, will definitely be too powerful. The court, the market, the nobles, the common people... almost every corner is occupied by Confucianism. Once Confucianism launches Counterattack can easily destabilize the empire. Even someone as confident as His Majesty Li Er would not dare to take such a risk.
His Majesty Li Er scanned the faces of the ministers in front of him with his bright eyes, and said calmly: "A few days ago, Mr. Yu Ming advised me in front of me, believing that the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is urgent to be proficient in all walks of life. Officials from all walks of life flooded everywhere In terms of positions, professional talents should be allowed to manage professional affairs, so that there will be no situation where laymen manage experts, thereby hindering rapid development. I think there is some truth, but I don’t know if you think so.”
At the beginning, His Majesty Li Er did not make any subtle test, but expressed his position straight to the point. This is a kind of boldness and courage that comes from His Majesty Li Er's strong self-confidence.
Fang Jun secretly admired it and gave a like...
The ministers were silent, no one expressed their opinion easily, and they were all waiting for the big bosses to show their attitude.
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian exchanged glances. The former was a little reluctant, but after thinking about it for a while, he still asked: "I am stupid, I dare to ask your majesty, what does it mean for a layman to manage an expert? Since ancient times, Confucian disciples have governed the country according to the teachings of the saints. , But I have never heard of laymen managing insiders. All things in the world follow the highest principles. As long as you integrate Confucian classics, you can handle affairs with ease. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking small vegetables. "< br>
He didn't want to be a prominent figure and offend His Majesty, but he had to stand up and oppose it. They are all a bunch of old foxes. If no one objects, wouldn't it mean that Fang Jun would benefit in vain?
Fang Jun has been preparing to establish the "Martial Arts Hall". Once the "Martial Arts Hall" expands in scale, Fang Jun will naturally benefit the most. This is something Changsun Wuji cannot accept.
The current Fang Jun has already made him feel like he is stuck in his throat, and he is eager to get rid of him. Thanks to the power of the academy, he will inevitably become more and more full-fledged, and he will not be able to climb up to his eldest grandson Wuji in ten or eight years...
He spoke, and Gao Shilian nodded in agreement: "What Fu Ji said makes sense. Confucianism is the study of managing the world. It is necessary to ensure that the orthodox status of Confucianism is stable, so that the world can be as stable as Mount Tai. The Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, thus sweeping across Liuhe and establishing To dominate Yu Nei’s foundation, our country, the Tang Dynasty, should follow suit.”
Everyone nodded.
There is no doubt that Confucianism is orthodox. Whoever dares to shake the status of Confucianism will cause chaos in the world in the blink of an eye.
His Majesty Li Er lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was thinking about it, but in fact he did not intend to speak.
I raised my head, you can’t let me go into battle shirtless with a sword and a gun, right?
Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda both looked at their eyes, nose and heart, and had no intention of speaking.
Fang Jun was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, they are all old foxes, cunning and cunning...
With no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Shen Guogong's words are wrong. Since Confucianism became orthodox, it has not made the country sustainable for thousands of years. The Han Dynasty lasted four hundred years, but it also almost collapsed. foundation Although the people were cut off and their lives were forcibly renewed in the end, it was just the end of the three-part world. The people were in ruins and the empire was annihilated. Although the famous figures in the two Jin Dynasties were admired for centuries, the invaders from the Northern Hu invaded and wreaked havoc, and the sons of the Han family were wreaking havoc. It was like falling into hell and almost becoming extinct. The melee between several kingdoms in the Southern and Northern Dynasties depleted the strength of the Han Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty was extremely powerful for only half a century, but it flourished and declined. For hundreds of years, Confucianism has been the orthodoxy of the world, but dynasties have come and gone. , over and over again, what role does Confucianism play? It’s just that no matter which family or surname dominates the world, Confucianism still occupies the orthodox position and cannot be shaken..."
Since the Han Dynasty, hundreds of years of changes have occurred. Fang Jun's eloquent description is indeed to the point.
This era is not the time for the explosion of information in later generations. Although there are still many historical books that have not been lost, the tastes are complicated and different, and the number of books is very small. Even if there are great scholars in the world, how many history books have been read? Compared with the history that is very close to the truth and summarized through archeology and documents in later generations, it seems much lacking.
In just a few words, Fang Jun almost presented hundreds of years of history in front of him, clearly and profoundly, making the ministers here nod their heads in praise. He was indeed a "stunningly talented" talent, and he indeed had a way of doing it.
However, praise is praise. Fang Jun's assertion that the real culprit of the dynasty change was placed on Confucianism was completely unacceptable to those present.
Especially the last sentence aroused outrage among the people!
Zhang Xuansu raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "That's nonsense! The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite and unite for a long time. This is the way of heaven. How can we blame it on Confucianism? The Qin Dynasty burned books and harassed Confucianism, but the result was the death of the second generation. The Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. , enjoyed four hundred years of imperial rule. Doesn’t this mean that Confucianism is the reason for stabilizing the world? ”
Fang Jun sneered: "Isn't Zuo Shuzi laughing at fifty steps at a hundred steps? The Han Dynasty has only respected Confucianism for four hundred years, so Zuo Shuzi is satisfied and proud? Can I think that in Zuo Shuzi In his eyes, if the Tang Dynasty can have a four-hundred-year-old reign, will it have to inherit Confucianism? And if there is no Confucian orthodoxy, will the Tang Dynasty also perish? "
"..."
Zhang Xuansu opened his mouth, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out, and his face turned red with anger!
All the ministers' mouths twitched, secretly cursing Fang Jun for being shameless!
This is simply heartbreaking!
The emperor is still sitting in front of him. No matter how generous His Majesty Li Er is, he is still the supreme king in the world. Which emperor doesn't want his throne to be passed down for thousands of years? Let alone four hundred years, even if you tell His Majesty Li Er that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed in eight hundred years, he will still be unhappy!
Zhang Xuansu was so angry that he quickly stood up and saluted His Majesty Li Er, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I never meant this!"
His Majesty Li Er is, after all, His Majesty Li Er. The Eternal Mingjun is not someone who is flattered. Although he felt resentful in his heart, he waved his hands calmly: "You don't have to be like this if you love me. Am I a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong?"
Zhang Xuansu was relieved. After sitting down, he glared at Fang Xuanling, who was still there, and said angrily: "You taught me a good son!"
Fang Xuanling had an expressionless face and said nothing.
Not only are you angry, I also want to beat this bastard to death. What a stupid thing to say...
I went to Beijing to be a petitioner (*/ω＼*)...and was detained for a night and then deported. I just went home at night and watched the CBA Finals. I coded a chapter and had to sleep. The updates have been unstable these days, and I have no face to face it. In the next few days, I will definitely work hard with all my heart and soul... I will do what I say.
