Not to mention, with Sun Xiangfu's current high position, openly driving back to Chang'an in Li Tai's car did cause a lot of reactions, and Qin Qiong, a hardcore relation, personally asked the house that afternoon.

"Zhengming now has the identity of the prince and young master, so he should keep his distance from King Pu to avoid being criticized."

"Criticized?" Sun Xiangfu looked at Qin Qiong in some surprise and asked.

Qin Qiong explained, "In the past two years, the prince has not been in Chang'an, but King Pu has been very active, he admires Confucianism, and has made friends with major Confucian families, and has won the support of many people. and behaved very pleasing in front of the queen and your majesty, and in comparison, the prince was ······"

Qin Qiong didn't continue, however, Sun Xiangfu already understood, Li Tai, who was good at reading and writing since childhood, was only afraid of being targeted by those Confucian sons, so the people who supported him behind him should be the Confucian children headed by Kong Yingda, they were unwilling to sit back and watch the status of Confucianism being shaken by other schools, and at the same time, Confucianism also represented the interests of most scholars, which was really a big force.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian, who was in Shanyang, did not have a strong sense of presence in Chang'an in the past two years, and the closeness he had shown to the Hou family before made many ministers think that he was going to follow Li Shimin's path, get close to the generals, and control the military power, which led to the fact that in the case of most of the military generals going out, Li Tai, who was in the group of Confucian scholars, was very powerful in Chang'an.

And as an old minister who has experienced the battle for the throne, Qin Qiong knows that if he continues like this, it is not the blessing of the country, and the cannibalism of the Xuanwu brothers is still close at hand!

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he was silent for a long time, and the battle of interests between the family and the gate valve is not over! The power struggle with the Confucian scholars is about to start again, and it really doesn't make people idle for a moment!

"Yigong, since the Battle of Yanpingmen last year, what has happened in Chang'an, can you tell me about it?"

Sun Xiangfu actually has some actions for Confucianism, he has some expectations, he has been scolded many times in the court Kong Yingda is speechless, political ideas, and what Confucianism advocates, far from what Confucianism advocates, so that the scholar group represented by Confucianism, the right to speak in the court, is getting smaller and smaller, but it is the military generals and various affairs of industry, agriculture, and commerce, occupying the entire court, which is forcing them into the corner!

The rabbit was forced to be anxious and bitten people, not to mention these people who read books with a lot of ghosts.

Elect a prince who advocates Confucianism to compete for the throne, once successful, all their interests can be realized, and it just so happens that Li Tai is a very suitable candidate.

He is the same as Li Chengqian, the same as the emperor's son-in-law, and extremely favored by the emperor, the key is that he himself, love Confucianism, less than twelve years old, read through the four books and five classics, the understanding of Confucian scriptures, reached a certain level, at a young age, there is a city government, the ambition is not small, in history, but because he and Li Chengqian fought for the head of the bloodshed, in the end, stimulated Li Chengqian rebelled.

However, what Sun Xiangfu doesn't understand is that since Li Tai admires Confucianism and is also favored by Confucianism, why should he openly woo himself? My relationship with those Confucians is not very good.

Qin Qiong's next words gave Sun Xiangfu some explanations.

"The defeat of Tubo, my Tang Quartet good news is frequent, everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty will become a powerful dynasty on a par with the Qin and Han dynasties, especially those scholars, holding banquets every day, touting each other, all kinds of cultural meetings with the theme of praise, every three or five times, it will be held in the mansions of some ministers, since last year's lunar month, King Pu began to participate in this kind of literary meeting, after the Spring Festival, almost every must arrive, and the literary meeting from the beginning of the praise and touting, gradually turned to the discussion of the court."

When Qin Qiong said this, he stopped abruptly, and it seemed that it was not easy to continue.

"You just say it, don't take my feelings into account."

"They said, my Tang Dynasty is now invincible, it should be a great rejuvenation of culture and education, into an immortal foundation, the development of agriculture and industry, of course, but this is only temporary, only the in-depth implementation of Confucianism, so that the people of all walks of life know etiquette and observance, this world can be the same, and only the world of Datong, can be immortal, fight the world's things, we have done a good job, done, the things that govern the world, but it depends on their literati, and ······"

"And what?"

"Moreover, most of them think that these nobles like us, who hold military power and own many industries in their names, will eventually become a disaster for the country, because everyone's money has been earned by us, and in the long run, we will have more money than the imperial court, and at that time, the imperial court will be controlled by us generals who have both military power and financial power, resulting in the fall of imperial power······"

Qin Qiong is a military general after all, and he is an honest general, he doesn't think much about the political issues of long-term peace and stability, and he is even fooled by their remarks, because, as one of the shareholders who hold Sun Xiangfu's industry in addition to Shanyang's industry, he roughly knows how much this group can make every year.

If it is calculated according to the way those Confucian scholars calculate, it will be really terrifying, because, even if this group only makes a profit of one or two hundred million yuan a year, ten years, it is also one or two hundred million yuan, Datang now, the money in the entire market is estimated to be so much, which makes Qin Qiong, who doesn't understand it very well, start to be afraid that his people make too much money and make all the money on the market.

No way, the ancients were limited by narrow cognition, and they couldn't understand the true meaning of money at all, as soon as these arguments came out, they almost won the approval of most people, but they didn't think about it, with Sun Xiangfu and the earning power of his entire interest group, the half year of Wude was not counted, just from the first year of Zhenguan to the fifth year of Zhenguan, how much money they made.

But is there too much money in the market because they make too much money and less money?

No, not only is there no less, but there are more and more, because more of the money that was originally hoarded by the family gate valve was dug up by Sun Xiangfu by various means and began to circulate in the market.

"It's just that in this case, they should unite against us, why would they think that pushing Li Tai to win me over?"

"Well, that's probably a way for them to deal with you! Guozijian's Confucian sacrificial wine seems to want to merge all families into Confucianism, and it seems that even Yu Shangshu agrees with this matter, and Wei Shangshu does not object. ”

"Mergers?"

Hearing this word, Sun Xiangfu was a little stunned, he knew early on that Confucianism was a panacea-like thing, which could change its own attributes according to the needs of the monarch.

Now, Kong Yingda knows that the emperor is a more pragmatic person, and if he wants to cater to the emperor, he will follow the emperor's temperament.

Moreover, during this period of time, in constant reflection, he had already figured out the emperor's thoughts.

The monarch of any dynasty hopes that his country can be passed on forever, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is like this, so he felt that Dong Zhongshu's set of 'heaven and man induction' version of Confucianism might be useful, so he used it. Li Shimin, even if Li Shimin can be exempt from vulgarity, what about his son?

Facing Sun Xiangfu's question, Qin Qiong nodded and answered, "Yes, these days, they often say what 'the way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection', what 'Zhizhi is in Gewu, Gewu and then Zhizhi,' etc., I don't know much about ······."

Although Sun Xiangfu was also very annoyed by these Four Books and Five Classics, he had read some annotated versions of the Four Books and Five Classics that Yu Shinan forcibly sent to him to read, and he basically knew the meaning of these words.

'The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. This is the Book of Rites, the first sentence in the university chapter, which is equivalent to the first sentence in the "Nine Yin True Scripture": 'The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, so the void is better than the truth, and the lack is better than the surplus······ It's the same, it's a general sentence.

And it means that the purpose of the university is to show noble virtues, to enable people to get rid of old habits, and to attain the highest state of goodness.

In a sentence similar to the general outline, there is a sentence that means 'to get people rid of old habits,' and this is very meaningful.

Confucianism shouts it out as a slogan, and almost all the credit for the current reform of the Tang Dynasty can be attributed to itself, because the ancestors of Confucianism said early on that the way of the university is to make people get rid of old habits! Aren't the various reforms of the Tang Dynasty being done exactly according to what their Confucian ancestors said?

Again, 'Enlightenment is in Gewu, Gewu and then Knowing.' That meaning is even more extensive, it can include all the industrial and even agricultural technical research that Datang is doing now, and its most intuitive meaning is "to deduce the principle of things, so as to obtain knowledge." ”

Then, they shouted this sentence as a slogan, and all the things about engaging in technical research are actually doing what their Confucian ancestors said, and they also make perfect sense.

"These guys, for their own status and interests, are really painstaking, but please rest assured, I have my own way to deal with it."

"The old man is not afraid of fighting with them, let him have a lot of reason, we martial artists, we only need to punch over, they will all be dumb, it's just that I am a little worried that His Majesty's mind will change."

When Qin Qiong said this, he really frowned.

As the saying goes, 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds hide the good bow.' ’

How did Liu Bang during the Han Dynasty treat the subordinates who helped him fight the world, and anyone who has read history books knows that now, Li Shimin, who has conquered the Quartet, is about to change from a pioneering monarch to a well-formed monarch.

In any case, there is still a certain amount of truth in the theory that those corrupt Confucians say that they are a threat to the nobles, and the soldiers and money are in the hands of the nobles, which is indeed a major unstable factor in the future, and it is impossible for a monarch like Li Shimin not to consider it carefully.
