Chapter 114: Punishment

The atmosphere in Minglun Hall was a little tense.

In fact, many people thought that Chen Zhengtai was just messing around in this two skin ditches.

No one cares what this guy is playing.

Can ...... now , but people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Of course, there are many people who boast that the books they read are all excellent scriptures, and they will not take people like Deng Jian in their eyes.

But Chen Zhengtai has taught no class here, but he has gone a little too far.

Although it was in the way of His Majesty's face, coupled with the Chen family's nonsense and unscrupulous family style, they did not come out.

But at this time, they were sympathetic to Kong Yingda.

Chen Zhengtai knows that some things can be done, but some things can't, and this matter must not be backed.

His mentor was silent because he did not want to stir up strife among the clans.

But if people like Kong Yingda have to make inch-in-progress and ruthlessly criticize the preaching of Erpigou, then I am afraid that his education career will come to an abrupt end.

So...... Kong Yingda must be made to taste the bitterness.

Chen Zhengtai looked straight at him and said, "I just restated the facts, how can I deceive people?" Isn't it true that when the saints were there, there was no teaching? If this is the case, then how many of the seventy-two sages under the Ancestral Sect are commoners, so in the eyes of Kong Gong, should these sages not be able to study? If they should not have read, how would the knowledge of the saints spread out? ”

What Chen Zhengtai said is not in a hurry, but it is reasonable!

Kong Yingda's face twitched, he decided not to speak, there was nothing to argue with this kind of person.

Chen Zhengtai didn't intend to stop there, and then said: "Take another 10,000 steps back, even if it is a ...... first saint."

"You ......" Kong Yingda couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Chen Zhengtai, angry, this guy mentioned his ancestors again.

Chen Zhengtai showed a look of admiration: "The ancestor is an old man, although his ancestors are nobles of merchants, but since then, has he also fallen into the middle of the family?" Didn't the father of the first saint also because the marriage was not compatible with the rites and was not accepted by the clan, so the husband and wife lived in Nishan and became pregnant, so it was called "wild marriage"? Don't stare at me, this is what the scriptures say. ”

That's the bad thing about having celebrity ancestors.

Because all celebrities will always have stains, in this era, people attach great importance to their background, Kong Yingda attaches great importance to his background and is proud of it.

But those who claim to be famous, their ancestors and ancestors, which one didn't start from a slight cold and finally made great achievements?

To put it bluntly, without the poor ancestors struggling to start a business, is it your turn to boast of being noble here?

"Dare to ask Kong Gong, is the heir of Yehe also considered a family family?"

As soon as Chen Zhengtai's words came out, in fact, all of a sudden, he had already hurt many people.

You must know that most of the people standing here are Confucian children.

Even Fang Xuanling felt that Chen Zhengtai was a little excessive.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, as if they were both thinking, this Chen Zhengtai was really open-mouthed.

Of course, if it is said that he is a saint, this is not enough, because everyone knows this allusion.

Chen Zhengtai glanced at everyone's expressions with a smile on his face, in fact, he knew that he was hovering on the line of death, of course, he was not stupid, and he couldn't continue to scold deeply, because what he just stated was still a well-known history, and if he continued to talk about it, it would be pure death to the end.

Fortunately, at this time, Confucius was only a saint, and he did not reach the point of being the most holy teacher in later generations.

But he stopped at the point, in fact, the purpose was very simple...... That is to anger Kong Yingda.

In the eyes of others, do you see that this is what people say? But in Kong Yingda's opinion, it's different, this is tantamount to digging people's ancestral graves!

Sure enough, Kong Yingda was furious, and said angrily: "What are you Chen, dare to talk about my family!" ”

Really...... Enraged!

He Chen Zhengtai, this is what he wants!

If you want to anger a proud person, it is too simple, Chen Zhengtai does not have the ideological baggage of the ancestors and ancestors!

Chen Zhengtai spread his hands: "When the Chen family was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was already ranked as a minister, and he can be regarded as a famous family. ”

Kong Yingda listened to it, and sneered again and again, you are Chen Zhengtai, you insulted my ancestors, I fought with you!

This is almost Kong Yingda's reverse scales, and it must not be touched, Chen Zhengtai just said a word, just like saying in front of Li Shimin that your whole family is Hu people.

Kong Yingda said angrily: "Erzhuzi...... You...... Chan is just out of the flow. ”

He jumped to his feet in a hurry, as if he wanted to find any words that could stab Chen Zhengtai to stimulate Chen Zhengtai.

But Chen Zhengtai's face is very calm, according to his years of experience as a keyboard warrior, when the other party jumps, it is the time for the other party to be full of loopholes!

Chen Zhengtai said calmly: "Don't be like this, Kong Gong, we're just talking about history." ”

Kong Yingda glared at Chen Zhengtai coldly and said: "Jing Shi, what Jing Shi, you are also worthy of talking about Jing Shi, you despicable villain." ”

If gaze can kill, then Chen Zhengtai must have been stared at by Kong Yingda's gaze by now!

Chen Zhengtai still looked leisurely, sighed and said: "Okay, that's my fault, Kong Gong is angry, I know that Kong Gong is from a famous family, and he has a very high background, in my mind, in addition to my teacher, only people like Xiansheng can be my role model." ”

Kong Yingda sneered: "Can Master Er also be compared to Kong Sheng?" ”

He was in a hurry.

At this moment, he didn't feel speechless at all, at this time, he just wanted to belittle anyone close to Chen Zhengtai to elevate himself.

In fact, it's not that Kong Yingda is stupid, but that since such a person was born, everyone around him respects him like a god!

Because everybody will tell him that he has an amazing ancestor, and that it is something to be proud of!

Over the past decades, Kong Yingda has been convinced of this, such a person ...... is very arrogant, don't look at the fact that he may show a humble attitude when interacting with people, but in fact, deep in his heart, such a person is looked down upon by anyone, and no one can be taken by him.

And Chen Zhengtai directly offended Kong Yingda's greatest pride, which made Kong Yingda tear off the last bit of mask, and he was completely angry, so the arrogance in his bones began to be revealed.

And...... His words, in fact, are not wrong, your teacher is a fart, compared with the sage, what great achievements can he have.

Kong Yingda's temperament is actually the same as his other ancestor Kong Rong, is Kong Rong stupid? No, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and because he is a descendant of Confucius, he claims to be noble, but it is precisely because he has borne this layer of nobility that he has caused him to be killed, Cao Cao doesn't care what sages you are!

In fact, this is not Kong Yingda's opinion, but the opinion of many high-ranking families, whether it is Cui's, Yang's, or Zheng's, in fact, they all have the same thoughts.

It's just that......

“……”

The Minglun Hall was suddenly terrifyingly quiet.

Li Shimin originally had a smile on his face and wanted to be a peacemaker!

He is the Son of Heaven, and it is also a common thing for the courtiers to have disputes between them, so he should also look at the excitement, thinking that when the heat is about the same, he will adjust it in the middle, so ...... Only then did he show the supreme dignity of the Son of Heaven.

But at this time...... His face had been pulled down.

A pair of eyes did not look at Kong Yingda, but looked at everyone's joy and anger, because ...... He didn't care what Kong Yingda said, what he cared about was what other people in this Minglun Hall thought.

Everyone's face is different, some people have the same hatred as Kong Yingda, looking at Chen Zhengtai angrily, some people are thoughtful, and some people don't think so, of course...... There are also some frowning at Kong Yingda.

Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows slightly, his lips pursed, his eyes were unwavering, and he seemed extremely silent.

At this time, he saw Chen Zhengtai and said: "Gong Kong, don't talk like this......"

In fact, Kong Yingda doesn't think much about anything, he only has one goal......

He said angrily: "The common people are the common people, you Chen Zhengtai did this, but it was a wolf ambition, what do you want to plot?" For thousands of years, the world has continued according to this outline, and when it comes to you, what are your intentions? ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a pure face: "I don't have any intentions, I just see them as talents that can be created." ”

Kong Yingda said contemptuously: "What kind of talent can they make? If you let the farmer go to school, let the craftsman go to study, are they still willing to produce? If they do not work, the world will be in chaos. ”

"But in this world, no one can say for sure, who should work hard, who should work hard, Kong Gong is not the Son of Heaven, is Deng Jian's hard work or hard work, does Kong Gong still need to judge?"

These words almost offended many people's rebellion, Kong Yingda laughed and said: "Haha, there is no need for Lao Tianzi to judge such things. ”

This is a convention, hundreds of years have been like this, it used to be a nine-product Zhongzheng system, but now it is ...... It is still these families who have the final say, and this is the fundamental problem.

Chen Zhengtai sighed: "If the Son of Heaven has said it, then what Gong Kong keeps saying about Gangchang, isn't there no longer a monarch and minister?" In this way, this is also a regular disorder. ”

"You don't talk nonsense here." Kong Yingda said with a straight face: "People like Deng Jian are not qualified to study, what you do in Erpigou must be stopped, if you disturb people's hearts like this and corrupt the discipline, sooner or later you will have to mistake yourself, don't mistake yourself!" ”

"Who said Deng Jian can't read?"

Finally...... Someone spoke.

It's just that...... This time it was not Chen Zhengtai who spoke.

Kong Yingda couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

Who is not Li Shimin?

Li Shimin's face was gloomy at this time, as if he was restraining his anger, and his resolute face looked extremely cold at this time!

Tiger eyes, this eye flashed with essence, Li Shimin's eyes looked at Kong Yingda: "I'm asking you, who said that Deng Jian can't read?" ”

"Your Majesty......"

Seeing Li Shimin's stiff face, Kong Yingda suddenly seemed to be woken up by a plate of cold water, and suddenly calmed down!

His face was pale, and when he saw Li Shimin looking at him deadly, his heart trembled, and he suddenly woke up to something: "Your Majesty...... Minister......"

"I ask you again, who said that Deng Jian can't read?" Li Shimin was crisp and neat, and he asked again and again.

"Your Majesty......" Just when Kong Yingda was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it for a while, someone stood up!

The person who stood up was Zheng Xuansheng!

Zheng Xuansheng is a subordinate of the family, from the Zheng family in Xingyang, but he is only a side branch of the Zheng family, and he was recommended as an official a few years ago.

Li Shimin's eyes turned and he glanced at Zheng Xuansheng coldly: "I didn't ask you." ”

Zheng Xuansheng was speechless for a while, and wanted to say something, but he looked left and right, and finally retreated.

Li Shimin continued: "I'm asking you, Kong Qing's family, who said that Deng Jian can't study? ”

Kong Yingda stood in place, he knew that he was a little speechless, but ......

At this time, he still stubbornly believed that he was right, and even said in front of His Majesty that His Majesty could not be compared with the ancestors, which was not wrong, in private, many children of the clan thought so.

But now His Majesty has a calm face, and he has questioned himself over and over again, so that he cannot answer.

He is a noble person, of course he can't admit it, if he does, isn't he sorry for his ancestors and ancestors, and insulting the lintel?

Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister said it." ”

Li Shimin's face was even colder: "In this way, you have the final say on everything in the world?" ”

Kong Yingda said: "The affairs of the world have their own agenda, and this is the way of heaven." ”

Li Shimin said: "Who formulated the way of heaven? ”

"In the scriptures!" Kong Yingda said loudly: "In the Analects, in the Zhou Li, in the Book of Changes, in Huainanzi, in the ......"

Li Shimin's face twitched, and every book he held up seemed to be slapping Li Shimin in the face.

In fact, Li Shimin is used to being slapped in the face, and when he often says something, someone immediately advises him, and then ...... He had to back down!

In this way, it made Li Shimin have a reputation for speaking widely, but the deep reason is that sometimes he has to be convinced even if he is not convinced.

Another example is that he once had a whim, thinking that our Li family is also awesome, so he ordered someone to revise the "Clan Chronicles"!

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be a little forced, our Li family is so good, how can we be ranked first in the world's clans, but the result is ...... was slapped repeatedly, and as a result, the clan ranked first, and the family of Cui Mingan, who only had a mere four grades, was ranked first, and the Li family, as a royal family, didn't even enter the top three.

What's even more slapping in the face is that the person in charge of repairing this clan chronicle is Li Shimin's confidant minister, that is, the maternal uncle of Empress Changsun, and Gao Shilian, a relative who tried his best to carry out the Xuanwumen Revolution by himself, this is his own person!

But people like Gao Shilian actually think that the Li family seems to be a little worse than the Cui, Lu, Zheng and other clans.

This kind of thing has stabbed Li Shimin's self-esteem, and this moment ...... In front of this proud Kong Yingda, Li Shimin was completely angry.

He said lightly: "Then if I say that Deng Jian can read, if I say, people like Deng Jian in the world, as long as they want to study, they should study?" ”

Reading is not the preserve of you people, who do you think you are?

Kong Yingda was calm at the moment: "If that's the case, the minister thinks it's ......"

"You are just a courtier, you can only give advice, and you are not qualified to do what today and why tomorrow." Li Shimin looked at Kong Yingda unceremoniously: "Chen Zhengtai is my disciple, he can think that this is my favor, he is here to teach people to read, have you forgotten that this Erpigou University Hall is the royal word of my own book?" Your ancestors, who taught without class, could have 3,000 disciples and spread knowledge. Then I and my disciple Chen Zhengtai can also be here, in this Royal University Hall, to teach 3,000 disciples. ”

Kong Yingda almost vomited blood.

Many people's faces also became difficult to look at, can the knowledge taught by Sage Kong be the same as the knowledge taught by Chen Zhengtai? Your Majesty...... This is......

Li Shimin looked extremely unpolite, and then stared at Kong Yingda fiercely with an extraordinarily sharp look, and said word by word: "Don't forget, the name of the first saint was given by me." ”

Kong Yingda's body trembled slightly, and he felt that he had been humiliated, because His Majesty also meant that if His Majesty didn't want to give it, then the first saint would not be the first saint.

But for Kong Yingda, it's completely different!

His ancestors were able to become saints because their ancestors created sacred learning, and the emperors of all dynasties had to be respected, so they ...... The name of this ancestor was earned by the Confucian family.

This is actually the biggest disagreement between Li Shimin and everyone, but at this time, Li Shimin, who was quite angry, didn't want to argue with Kong Yingda about this, although he was usually kind and pleasant, showing Corporal Lixian, but all this ...... It's all about consolidating the foundation of the imperial power and the Tang Dynasty, rather than letting Kong Yingda and others take this opportunity to raise their own worth.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Everyone in the world can read, and I encourage anyone who is interested in reading to study, Chen Zhengtai is here to teach people to learn, this is not his idea alone, if anyone dares to talk nonsense here, then ...... You're welcome, Chen Zhengtai ......"

"The minister is here." Chen Zhengtai said busily.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Tomorrow, a stele will be erected outside this school, and if I write to me, I want to see who dares to go against my wishes." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "No." ”

Li Shimin immediately looked around, looked at the military generals who were accompanying him, and the domineering spirit belonging to the emperor was undoubted, and said, "Do you all understand what I mean?" Who else has objections. ”

"Your Majesty......" Zheng Xuansheng, who wanted to say something before, he had something to say, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.

Li Shimin glanced at Zheng Xuansheng coldly: "Whoever has any objections will be punished!" ”

It seems that this sentence has finally had an effect, so Minglun Hall is exceptionally quiet.

Except for a certain part of the people, who gritted their teeth at Chen Zhengtai in their hearts, it seems that they ...... At this moment, no one dares to say a word more!

Li Shimin stood up: "Say everything that needs to be said, Kong Qing, you are so self-conscious." ”

Kong Yingda's face was pale, and he really wanted to raise his courage and argue a little more, but the murderous aura on His Majesty's face today finally made him have to keep his mouth shut obediently.

So he raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Zhengtai, but this time, there was ...... in his eyes It's no longer just about contempt.

But at this time......

Li Shimin suddenly said again: "Yes, I still want to think about one thing, and I have to make it clear today." ”
