The widow was dressed in a robe, and Kong Yingda's bent back for many years couldn't help but slowly straighten up.

Looking at Li Shimin and the hundred officials in the palace, Kong Yingda's expression was very indifferent, as if all this in the court had severed relations with him.

But Li Shimin gave him another title, as a nominal bachelor of the Qin Wangfu who did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate and did not go to the battlefield with Li Shimin, such a title is definitely an honor.

Forever, this title will always be with Kong Yingda, even if he makes a big mistake, the title will still be retained.

It's just a pity that it's not a heirloom.

And Kong Yingda doesn't want to pass on the title, if the descendants don't work hard, this title will become a guarantee for their survival!

A childish body, with empty sleeves, only books in hand, who in the world is with everyone?

Kong Yingda, who left the court, was indescribably heroic in his heart, and he had a feeling of being accustomed to seeing all kinds of life and the road ahead was stormy.

"Let's go and visit His Royal Highness King Qin first!"

As soon as he thought of Li Fangchen, who woke him up, Kong Yingda couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the times create heroes, and the Tang Dynasty should be headed by His Royal Highness King Qin.

There were many bystanders along the way, and Kong Yingda did not feel any discomfort, but often saluted the people on both sides.

The big officials are also known to the people in Chang'an, especially Kong Yingda of the Confucian family, but no one thought that he would wear a Confucian dress and walk on the street.

The car that followed slowly behind, I don't know why, is he crazy today? Don't sit in a car?

Completely on foot, he came out of the palace and walked for half an hour before he came to the gate of the Qin Palace.

couldn't help breathing a little heavier, he looked old, and he was a little overwhelmed by this way of walking.

"Labor driver report, Confucian Kong Yingda, ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty!"

"I can't help it, Your Highness said bluntly, the boss can enter the mansion directly!"

"So? Thank you, little brother! ”

What happened in the court, how could Li Fangchen not know, and Li Shimin specially sent someone to ask, when he first heard that Li Fangchen was frightened, is this old man crazy or not?

The other party obviously misunderstood the meaning of Li Fangchen's words, and instead entered a higher realm.

Li Fangchen, who wanted to figure out the truth of the matter, couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed, "That's fine, the foundation of my Tang Dynasty is stable!" ”

Then arrange for the people in the house, if the great Confucian Kong Ying arrives at the house, you can directly invite him in without reporting.

didn't think about it, the other party's first stop out of the court was his Qin Wangfu.

"People, Kong Yingda, thank His Royal Highness King Qin for the grace of the order!"

"Polite, please get up, I think Master Kong has already figured it out?"

Since the other party misunderstood, Li Fangchen didn't explain much, and now this result is better.

Kong Yingda got up with a smile, and then sighed, "Live an empty life, if it weren't for His Highness's on-demand, Kong Yingda would only be addicted to the court and unable to extricate himself, he is really unfilial to his descendants, and he is ashamed of his ancestors." ”

Li Fangchen sent someone to prepare a tea for him, invited him to sit down and chat, and personally added tea for him.

In the past, Kong Yingda was only afraid to drink, but now, what is he afraid of?

The Confucian family's attitude towards Li Fangchen has changed from the original admiration to the current Confucian courtesy.

Just the two amazing works in the newspaper are enough to be worthy of Li Fangchen's identity as a great Confucian.

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Kong Yingda said with a smile, "No, I thought that like the ancestors, I would travel around the Tang Dynasty and accept thirty-six disciples, but when I saw His Highness, Kong forgot about this plan." ”

Li Fangchen couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Kong Yingda tasted the tea lightly and sighed, "Good tea." ”

Li Fangchen rolled his eyes and asked you, why are you still going around in circles with me, this old man?

Fortunately, Kong Yingda did not disappoint Li Fangchen, and then gave an answer, "His Royal Highness King Qin, Kong wants to know, what do you think of Confucianism?" ”

"Those who are not in the six arts of Confucius, are all out of their way, do not make progress. Can Kong Lao know this? ”

Kong Yingda nodded, "This is Dong Zhongshu's words, use Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" That is, to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. ”

Li Fangchen squinted slightly, "Then dare to ask Kong Lao, is there something wrong with this?" ”

Kong Yingda fell silent, as the biggest beneficiary of Confucianism, there is no mistake! For that era, there was nothing wrong with it! So he didn't open his mouth or answer, he believed that His Royal Highness King Qin would give him an explanation.

Li Fangchen stood up, turned his back to his hand and asked, "Shinong Industry and Commerce, where does it come from?" What is a taxi? ”

Kong Yingda replied: "The fifth chapter of "Guanzi" written by the sage Guan Zhong! In the pre-Qin records, scholars generally refer to people who are literate and knowledgeable, and the son of a scholar is always a scholar; In the Han Dynasty, those who were genuine were all scholars; Now I am Datang, and all the officials and families can be scholars! He represents a status, an identity! ”

"So, this king wants to ask, is this identity good or bad?"

Kong Yingda was silent again, this was the second question he couldn't answer.

"Mozi said that the people, scholars, doctors, princes, three dukes, and the Son of Heaven form a country of dignity and humility; Xun Ziyan, farmers, scholars, industrialists, merchants; In the book of Mencius, if you kill a soldier without sin, then the doctor can go; If you kill people without sin, you can move. This king wants to ask, before the farmer or after the farmer? What does a taxi mean? ”

Two questions, Kong Yingda's pupils were full of shock, because he couldn't answer.

Gently picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, Li Fangchen was not in a hurry at all, but looked forward to it, he wanted to know what Kong Yingda thought.

These last few questions, to put it bluntly, are all discussing one thing, what does the taxi represent?

And the first question is a heartfelt inquiry, is it really good if Confucianism is dominant?

As a member of the scholars, as a member of Confucianism, Kong Yingda could not answer these two questions at all.

It goes against his heart and goes against the essence of Confucianism, but if he tells the truth, he can't and doesn't dare.

Li Fangchen finally asked, "What the sages said, is it really true?" ”

Kong Yingda understood, and thought about what King Qin and Baiguan said before, the times are changing, and nothing is immutable, and he can't answer not because of his shallow knowledge, but because this is a contradiction.

Dong Zhongshu is not wrong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not wrong, the Han Dynasty at that time needed this!

Shi and Nong, it doesn't matter which one comes first, the important thing is that they are all part of the Tang Dynasty and are inseparable.

They all play their roles as needed to accomplish what they are supposed to do at a certain stage.

More importantly, what do we do now?

Do you continue to judge the actions of your predecessors as a latecomer?

The merits and demerits are left to future generations to comment, and what is more important now is to throw away the shackles of the knowledge taught by the ancestors, so as to go further!

Kong Yingda couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness's great wisdom, Kong is not as good, not as good!" ”

Li Fangchen laughed out loud and said to Kong Yingda, "This king wants to change the Tang Dynasty and lay an indestructible foundation for future generations!" Kong Yingda! Would you like to help the king? ”

Kong Yingda bowed and said, "I am willing to go with His Highness!" ”
