Zhang Xingcheng is sweating!

How did he not know that he had acted against the will of the emperor, how did he not know that the emperor was already furious, and that he was about to face a storm?

However, as a Confucian student, you must stick to your own Taoism!

As a child of a Shandong family, you must stick to your own position!

"Your Majesty Mingjian, Zi said: If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand. What is 'rite'? Those who are courteous respect people are also respected, and those who respect people are always respected. Now that Silla is in civil strife, its queen is helpless, and she turns to the Tang Dynasty for help, intending to offer the national honor to her heart, although this move is sincere, but if my Tang Dynasty gladly accepts it, how different is it from taking advantage of the danger of others? It is not in harmony with the etiquette. Moral benevolence and righteousness, incivility is not accomplished; Teach the right and vulgar, and be indecent. The Tang Dynasty is mighty, the four seas are salty, and they should use etiquette and morality to suppress the Quartet, rather than relying on the soldiers to deter the group. ”

With that, he got up and left the table, touching the ground.

His Majesty Li Er's nose is almost crooked!

If you are rude, you will be able to do it?

If you do too many rude things, it will inevitably affect yourself?

What a bastard!

A puppeteer, who only knows how to hold the views of his ancestors and hold on to the defects, open his mouth and close his mouth "Zi Yue" and "Shiyun", do not know how to keep pace with the times, do not want to reform and reform, rotten Ruer!

His Majesty Li Er had a dark face and scolded: "Are you cursing Li Tanghu? ”

Zhang Xingcheng was taken aback, hurriedly bowed to the ground, and loudly defended: "How dare Weichen? It's just a momentary gaffe, which angers Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will condemn you! Weichen is loyal and can learn from the sun and the moon, and is willing to cut through obstacles for His Majesty's great cause, and is willing to die for the empire to be strong and prosperous forever! ”

Lying on the ground, Zhang Xingcheng regretted that he almost wanted to give himself a mouthful!

Why do you say nonsense such as "If you are rude, you will be self-defeating"?

It seems that he is really not the material of the officialdom, full of poetry and scriptures, but when it comes to conspiracy and sophistry in the court, he has nowhere to show his ability......

At the same time, he also had questions in his heart that could not be answered: why was Confucianism, which had been invincible in the minds of successive emperors, abandoned and disdained in front of kings such as Emperor Yang of Sui and His Majesty today?

Confucianism mainly advocates etiquette, the so-called etiquette is to have the elders, the distinction between the inferior and the noble and the lowly, if these hierarchical orders can be very clear, and everyone can do things within their own rank, so that they can promote the development of a country, will not cause chaos. Therefore, the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, has become the most ideal social state in the Confucian mind, if this social phenomenon is violated, then you need to pay the corresponding price, this is the best way to manage.

Such a doctrine is like a lifeline for those who want to maintain orthodoxy! As for the common people, it is just "Confucianism is a hundred million degrees, the father and teacher inherit and nurture it, and the boy is deaf and hears it", "the word ten thousand mouths", "the same thousand years", and only then "follow the crowd and the saint, but also follow the crowd and do things", the natural river Qinghai Yan is the same in the world, and the emperor is ruled by the arch, which can be compared to the three emperors to rule the world, and shine for thousands of years......

But why don't these majestic emperors listen?

On the side, how could the eldest grandson Wuji miss such a good opportunity?

Immediately got up and left the table, and paid homage to Qi and said: "Your Majesty, the barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue, which is vulgar and uncivilized. The right servant shoots the intention of kinging the barbarians, which is equivalent to playing the harp to the ox, and the wise man does not do it. The Tang Dynasty dominates the world, relying on the benefits of the military revolution, so the four Yi surrendered and flocked to it. The two Jin Dynasty celebrities talked about it, and the poems, books and articles were popular for centuries, but in the end, it was the barbarians who went south to wreak havoc on the Central Plains, and the Red County of Shenzhou was stained! Therefore, if I want to dominate the four seas and prosper for a hundred generations, I must be light on literature and heavy on military force, standing with soldiers, and strong soldiers, and there must be no momentary negligence! Those who advise His Majesty to put Nanshan swords and guns into the warehouse, and who can calm the world with only benevolence and virtue, are really harboring evil intentions, and are suspected of trying to subvert the Tang Dynasty. ”

Most of the ministers in the palace agreed.

The Tang Dynasty established the country with force and suppressed the four people, so it is natural to maintain the style of martial arts, if it turns to civil rule, it restricts the barbarians with benevolence and morality...... Not to mention that the barbarians don't listen at all, how can the vast majority of ministers and generals in the hall who started with martial arts ensure their own interests?

If Fang Jun is here, I'm afraid he will immediately give the eldest grandson Wuji a thumbs up!

The Confucian set is no longer the ideology of the "great revenge" led by Dong Zhongshu in the early Han Dynasty, and the radical doctrines of the "Ram School" headed by Dong Zhongshu have all declined, and what has risen in its place is the "Guliang School" of "unlimited monarchical power, different from the noble and the low", and playing the "Guliang School" of "the monarch and the minister, the father and the son", and "the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die......

History has proved that without the radical idea of "great revenge", Confucianism, which emphasizes "clan friendship" and "intimacy and concealment", in addition to cultivating generations of powerful clans, is an infinite compromise with the outside world!

What is a barbarian?

It's just a two-legged beast, you can't bite you, you have to go back, right?

If so, what is the difference between man and beast?

We have the beauty of the chapter uniform, the etiquette is called Xia, the door is closed, "kiss and hide", social harmony, the Holy Son of Heaven hangs the arch and governs, and the reappearance of the three kings is just around the corner, why bother with the barbarians who drink blood?

Those barbarians don't know etiquette and shame, why should they be like them?

They called, just send a woman and kiss, and if it doesn't work, give a little gold and silver treasure, it's better than that human life to fight with the barbarians, right?

There's no need at all......

This is the orthodoxy of Confucianism after the Han Dynasty.

Generation after generation has gradually corroded the martial style of the Han family, and castrated the ambition and pride of the descendants of Yan and Huang!

Therefore, even though the Central Plains Dynasty has been at its peak several times, it will no longer see Wei Qing who "smashed Longcheng, recovered Heshuo, attacked Gaoque, and swept Mobei", and Huo Quai, who "straightened Qusai, Guanghenan, broke Qilian, Tongxiguo, Mibei Hu, chased the north, and sealed the wolf Juxu"!

Although the eldest grandson Wuji represents the interests of the Guanlong aristocracy, it is an incomparably bright road in the general direction of national development.

Of course, the selfish nature of the family gate valve makes them only take care of the present and their own body, so that they will not care about the family and the country and the national inheritance......

Zhang Xingcheng trembled, took off the crown on his head, bowed to the ground, and said in a dumb voice: "Weichen is guilty of capital crimes, and he doesn't dare to defend himself, but His Majesty is arbitrary, and there is no complaint!" ”

Who is the eldest grandson Wuji?

That's the emperor's brother-in-law, a man who once fought side by side with the emperor, was close and obedient!

Even though he is now estranged from him, the influence of the Guanlong nobles behind him is enough to make the emperor have to make a decision against his will!

What's more, the accusation of the eldest grandson Wuji is too serious!

Harboring evil intentions and subverting the society?!

The entire feudal society, this is a bottom line that no one can touch, and whoever touches it will die!

If it is another crime, the emperor may order Yousi to investigate strictly, but when it comes to Jiangshan Sheji, don't care if there is evidence or not, as long as the emperor thinks you have it, there will be no forgiveness for killing!

It is a matter of the throne of the country and the temple society, even if it is a benevolent emperor, it must not be tolerated!

At this point, the original struggle of interests has been transformed into a dispute of ceremonial forms.

It's a life-and-death struggle!

Zhang Xingcheng can only express his fortitude and firmness in this way, and will never back down!

Either the emperor chose the eldest grandson Wuji, or the Guanlong nobles behind him.

Or, support him Zhang Xingcheng, and the Shandong family behind him.

However, it doesn't seem to be a difficult choice......

His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, and after only a few hesitations, he said in a deep voice: "The right servant shot Zhang Xingcheng, who was difficult to return, his energy was sluggish, and he was difficult to be competent for tedious government affairs...... All the Zaifu of the political affairs hall, wait for the proposal of the right servant to shoot, and then discuss it in the court. ”

Zhang Xingcheng's heart was desolate.

Really......

Shandong family, how can it compare with the influence of the Guanlong aristocracy?

No matter how strong His Majesty's determination to suppress the gate valve is, it is impossible to refute the eldest grandson Wuji in such a situation.

It's just a pity that I, the right servant of Shangshu who was lifted up by the entire Shandong family, didn't sit down for even a year, and was "returned to my hometown" and was raised for a long time......

Of course, he also understands that if the emperor really wants to knock the Shandong family into the dust, then at this moment it is not to "return to his hometown", but to order the three law divisions to launch a thorough review of himself.

Even though it fell into the dust for a while, the Shandong family still had a chance......

Maybe the emperor in front of him, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, but the prince is elegant, after taking the throne, maybe he will pay attention to internal affairs and relax martial arts, at that time, maybe it will be the time for the rise of the Shandong family!
