"General Qin followed the Shengshang South to fight in the north, made great achievements, and led the troops alone, first broke more than 200,000 Turks in the northern part of the Saibei region, and now broke more than 200,000 enemies in southern Xinjiang. General Qin's merits far exceed those of Yang Su, which is a rare handsome talent in this dynasty. ”

It was not Du Ruhui who said this, nor Wei Zheng, nor Ling Jing, it turned out to be the Great Xiao Hou, I saw her say excitedly: "Shengshang, today is the first time that my royal family has worshiped my father for many years, and the good news is about to arrive after the worship, and it is mentioned in the good news that not long after the withdrawal of my Great Sui army, the mountain immediately landslided, drowning the rebels, this may be the blessing of my father's spirit in the sky, so General Qin is not only a great commander, but also a blessed general of my Great Sui, and he should be rewarded heavily." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Tong, everyone understood what Da Xiao said, but it was a little unfair to coach Zhang Zhenzhou to attribute all the credit to Qin Qiong?

However, the battle of Pingnan seems to be Qin Qiong's meritorious service alone, this guy is too fierce, and he has taken everyone's brilliance cleanly. If you don't reward it, you can't reward it, it seems that Qin Qiong has reached the top, how can you reward it? ?

"......" Yang Tong couldn't help but look at Emperor Wen's tombstone, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

Although he knew why the mountain landslided, as the Great Xiao Hou said, this mountain is not slippery in the morning or late, but it is slipped after the Sui army retreated, is it really providence? Could it really be that Emperor Wen is blessing?

After a long time, Yang Tong said with a smile: "Uncle Bao's battle is really exciting, it has swept away the biggest enemy in the south of my Great Sui, and it should be rewarded no matter what." After thinking about it for a while, he said: "From now on, the duke of the country will be honored by beauty, and the name of the place and the title of merit and prestige will be ranked second. From now on, Qin Qiong's title of Duke of Hu was changed to Duke of Ji. ”

There is no opinion, because the name itself is extremely rare, in a sense, it surpasses the other two, but there has been no rule.

"Qin Qiong is holding the 'Thirty Potentials of Sacred Martial Arts' Tianyong Sword, and I have crowned him as the 'Thirty-six Heavenly Warriors' Heavenly Warrior Protector General. The Ministry of Rites passed on his achievements to the world to show praise, and it was also to inspire the martial spirit of the Great Sui. ”

The 'Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs of the Holy Martial Arts' had already made a lot of noise, and among the Wenchens, the most popular was Yang Gongren, followed by Wei Yunqi and the 'Hundred Battles and Hundred Victories' Niu Ren Yang Shanhui; the military generals had the highest voice with Qin Qiong, and the second place was not Luo Shixin, but Yin Mingyue and Shui Tianji, who were a little red in the green bushes...... But regardless of civil and military, no one has been determined until today. Now Qin Qiong has become the first Tiangang on the list, which is a great honor, and it is even more enviable than General Zuo Wei and Duke Yiguo.

"Whoa." Du Ruhui hurriedly responded.

"By the way, the portrait of Tiangang was hand-painted by me myself." Yang Tong's sketching level is not bad, if he paints it himself, the portrait must be more like himself than the traditional artistic conception painting. At this moment, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Ling Jing, Pei Xingyan, and Niu Jinda were all jealous.

Yang Tong looked at the magnificent building at the bottom of the mountain, and said: "I ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a 'Zhenguo Temple' at the foot of the mountain, and specially hung the portrait of Tiangang, and so on... Re-plastic glass statues. ”

"Holy Wisdom." Everyone understood what Yang Dong meant, this so-called Zhenguo Temple is actually the Zhenguo Temple, which is much more real than what the nickname is, and enjoying the royal incense is equivalent to being a god.

And in fact, Yang Tong really means this. Future generations worship the heroes of the country, which is a million times stronger than worshipping the ethereal gods and Buddhas.

"In this battle of Pingnan, Zhang Zhenzhou, Fang Xuanling, Zuo Tiancheng, Feng Li, Xu Shiji and other generals are also outstanding meritorious workers, and when they return triumphantly, I will reward them one by one." It's not that Yang Tong is biased, it's really Qin Qiong who is too capable of fighting, not to mention this time, Lin Shihong's main force was also solved by him, and after the Great Xiao, he said that he was crisscrossing the north and south, which is really not false at all. Looking up and down the Great Sui, it seems that only Yang Su has reached the height of Qin Qiong.

In the meantime, Yang Tong took his family to worship Yang Zhao, and then worshiped Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, and Gu Yi with his wife and children......

Looking at Yang Zheng who followed him, Yang Tong asked, "Zheng'er, what did you learn in the end?" ”

"I've learned a lot."

"Really? Is there anything you don't understand? ”

"Yes, indeed." Yang Zheng nodded.

"Tell me about it." Yang Tong said with a smile: "Although my knowledge is not as good as many Confucians; But when it comes to knowledge, vision, and the world, there are few people who are stronger than me. ”

"Not long ago, Mr. Yu taught some Confucianism, but the child felt that Confucianism had many contradictions." As the son of Yang Tong, although Yang Zheng is young, he has obviously learned a lot of knowledge, and when he heard that his father had the intention of taking the test, he was immediately full of energy.

Yang Tong asked, "Which do you think are self-contradictory?" ”

"For example, 'relatives hide each other' and 'righteous annihilation of relatives' are self-contradictory existences, which are really incomprehensible."

Yang Tong was speechless, Yu Shinan, this guy actually taught a child with a big fart to 'kill relatives with righteousness'? What the hell is this old man going to do?

However, since his son asked, Yang Tong couldn't avoid answering, but 'relatives and relatives' and 'righteous annihilation of relatives' are not clear even in the 21st century, how can he explain this?

After thinking about it, he simply changed his concept and asked, "Then what kind of knowledge do you think Confucianism is?" ”

"The study of statecraft." Yang Zheng replied.

"The study of statecraft?" Yang Tong scoffed: "Have you read the Analects?" ”

Yang Zheng nodded and said: "The child has already read through it, and its meaning is very simple, just like the "Three Character Classic" written by his father, it is to teach children how to behave. ”

"Then let me ask you, which sentence in the Analects teaches you to govern the country?" Yang Tong asked rhetorically again.

Yang Zheng thought about it for a long time, and said uncertainly: "It doesn't seem to be." ”

As you said, the Analects records the perception of Confucius, who taught people how to behave and be good people. And people often behave first and then do things, which is indeed true, because the code of conduct is to let you know what you can do and what you can't do, so that a person can judge right and wrong. But a person who can be a man may not be able to do things and be able to do things...... Take the famous poet and great Confucian Xue Daoheng as an example, this person has high morality and impeccable character, but he handles a little thing in a mess, let alone governing the country! ”

"This ......" Yang Zheng asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that he offended the first emperor?" ”

"Nonsense." Yang Tong shook his head and said: "When the first emperor was still in Yangzhou as the king of Jin, Xue Daoheng offended the first emperor more than once, but the first emperor cherished his talent and always been kind, after the first emperor ascended the throne, according to Emperor Wen's punishment of Xue Daoheng, he ordered him to go to Lingnan to take office, which means to do it casually, and then transfer him back to Beijing as a secretary and supervisor, he was a year, and then resigned, and the first emperor did not embarrass him, and recalled him to Beijing for retirement. But this old guy is not at ease at all, he writes poems to satirize this and that, and almost offends everyone, and almost becomes a street rat that everyone shouts to kill, the first emperor is still reluctant, let him write an article to praise virtue, as long as he writes, then the first emperor can use this as a name and praise him fiercely, so that others will not want him to die. However, he played a "Ode to Emperor Gaozu Wen", praising Emperor Wen as if there was nothing in the sky and on the earth, but the words were similar to "Yuzao", which was nostalgic for King Wu to satirize King Zhou You! Then, everybody seized on this and wanted him to die. When ninety-nine out of a hundred people wanted him to die, the first emperor couldn't help it. ”

"Is this what my father said about being a man and not doing things?"

"Yes, in fact, if you really want to investigate it, he won't even do it, otherwise everyone won't shout and kill and fight." Speaking of this, Yang Tong said again: "Let's estimate that he will be a man, but he really can't do things, if this kind of person is a county commander, it is estimated that he will offend his colleagues miserably, everyone looks at each other unpleasantly, and even the affairs of the entire county cannot operate normally, let me ask, can such a person govern the country?" ”

"It's... The child doesn't know..."Yang Zheng is too young to answer this question.

In short, Confucianism such as the Four Books and the Five Classics is the principle of being a human being, but there is no way to do things. If you are a county magistrate, how are you going to govern a county? ”

"Ming Zhengzheng punishment, discerning every detail, punishing evil and promoting good, encouraging farming, and educating the people......" Yang Tong gushed a bunch of things.

Yang Tong smiled and asked, "Then which of these you are talking about is related to Confucianism?" ”

"Educate the people!" Yang Zheng has learned a lot, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that what has anything to do with Confucianism is to educate the people.

"If the people are dying of hunger, will they be able to accept your education?"

"This family must be looking for food, and they don't have time to listen to my teaching." Yang Zheng said.

"That's right."

"Isn't Confucianism useless?"

"Of course not, it teaches you to honor your parents, to love your country, to love your people... These are the principles of being a human being. How is it useless? ”

"......" Yang Zheng said with a full face.

"There's a lot of knowledge that you can't understand at your age. It's not that you're stupid, it's that you're too small. Yang Tong laughed: "Back to your first question, what you said about 'righteousness and annihilation' is not Confucianism, but the words of Legalism, and Confucianism, can be separated, one is the rule of virtue, the other is the rule of law, this is Confucianism can make the people know etiquette, understand the righteousness, is the foundation of life; If you want the people to live a prosperous life, you need farmers, ink workers, and merchants; If the world is to be peaceful, the law is needed to regulate people's behavior. If the people want to be in good health, they need to be treated by doctors; If the country is not invaded by foreign enemies, it is necessary to train strong soldiers; If you want to know if there will be rain tomorrow, you need Taoism, Yin and Yang family...... This should not be a single doctrine, otherwise the world will be in chaos! ”

"What about the Buddha's family?"

"Buddhism? Useless. ”

"Buddhism guides people to goodness."

"Plagiarism of Confucianism."

"Buddhism tells people not to be competitive."

"Plagiarism of the Taoists."

"Buddhist ......"

"Plagiarism ......"

Finally, Yang Zheng said: "Isn't that a robber?" ”

"You really didn't wronged the Buddhists." Yang Tong approvingly: "It plotted to rob the people's hard-earned money and land under the banner of filial piety to the Buddha, shielded murderers under the banner of 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot', deceived other people's children into being bald men under the banner of 'Buddha is destined to be people', and deceived the little bald heads and people who were not Buddhas under the banner of 'not practicing enough and being insincere' to become a ...... of the Buddha."

"It's disgusting." Yang Zheng said with a look of disgust: "Then what will it be?" ”

"Will cheat money."

"No wonder my father wants to ban bald guys......" Yang Zheng filled his chest with anger, his eyes spewing fire: "It's really hateful." ”

"Husband, are you okay like this?" Wei Fengwu looked at the father and son funny.

"That's just the way it is."

"A good family is also a hundred ......"

"Does it qualify?" Yang Tong shook his head and said: "There were hundreds of schools in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and at that time, I didn't know where this crooked and evil way was." After entering the Central Plains, he stole this house and that house, and pieced together what he is now. ”

"Prejudice." Wei Fengwu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

……

Perhaps, Yang Tong's prejudice attracted the anger of the Buddha, just when he was talking about the bad things about Buddhism, a letter eagle from Xihai County flew to Daxing City, and Tubo, who respected Buddhism as the state religion, stepped on the snowy plateau and was heading north.
