Du Chengfeng's approach is completely equivalent to directly declaring war on the family.

Although Li Shimin had wanted to do this for a long time, at the same time, he also knew that it was not the right time to attack the family now.

If you act recklessly, it will definitely cause turmoil in the country and instability in people's livelihood.

Du Chengfeng's approach was completely to give him Li Shimin the thunder first.

In this way, the anger of the family was attracted to Du Chengfeng himself, and Li Shimin himself could watch the fire from behind his back and wait for the opportunity to move.

Even Li Shimin himself has to admit that the strength of the family is indeed extraordinary.

To put it in the most basic way: the Maison controlled at least half of the officials of the imperial court. The rest, even if they are not the children of the family and the nobility, are the forces of the affiliated families.

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder, what did Du Chengfeng use to face the huge resistance of several major families in Chang'an?

Could it be that it is the power of his 150 master nurses? Or is it that you are secretly interfering?

It is undeniable that this force is so strong that Li Shimin himself is a little jealous, but it would be a bit naïve to fight against the family that has existed for thousands of years with these guardians alone.

But it's a pity that Du Chengfeng doesn't think so. Du Chengfeng's criterion is: in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are empty talk.

Therefore, Du Chengfeng did not take Li Shimin's worries to heart at all.

Now the number of clone soldiers is almost tens of thousands, and this force is not to say that it is possible to sweep away a small country, but just sweep away some families in Chang'an.

It's just that Du Chengfeng didn't want to expose his strength so quickly.

Du Chengfeng spread his hands, pursed his lips, and said with a sad and indifferent expression: "Your Majesty, I believe you must be very clear: since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred families, the family has been like a man-eating tiger that has controlled all dynasties and generations for thousands of years. ”

"It shows its grandeur to the imperial power all the time, so the long pain is better than the short pain. What's more, the roads are all walked by people, how do you know if it works without trying? ”

Du Chengfeng's words once again hit Li Shimin's sore spot.

"Alas, I don't know that what you said is the truth, and I also want to cut off this thousand-year-old depression in one fell swoop, but I know very well that this is not an easy matter, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run!"

Li Shimin said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, when you are decided, you will always suffer from it. If you are afraid of wolves and tigers just because you are afraid, then it will be difficult to achieve great things. Du Chengfeng replied disappreciatively.

"When the judgment is constantly reversed?" Li Shimin repeated this sentence, and his heart was shaken.

Then he laughed and said: "Very good, Du Chengfeng has to say that I have been greatly increased by what you said." ”

"It's good that the emperor understands!" Du Chengfeng's tone was flat.

Du Chengfeng's words seemed to arouse Li Shimin's ambition again, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, and soon this light quickly calmed down again. balance

Li Shimin was suddenly silent, he was digesting Du Chengfeng's words.

Between the lines, Li Shimin felt that Du Chengfeng's heart was sincerely towards the Tang Dynasty, and he also felt Du Chengfeng's contempt and hatred for the family.

It is precisely because of this contempt and hatred that Du Chengfeng is so anxious to declare war on the family through education.

This is Li Shimin's evaluation of Ben Chengfeng in his heart at this moment.

Li Shimin looked at Du Chengfeng, who was calm and relaxed, and asked, "Du Chengfeng, what is the new education you are talking about?" ”

"Your Majesty, before explaining my new education, I would like to ask your Majesty, in your opinion, what is the purpose of studying? What's the use of reading? Du Chengfeng asked rhetorically.

"Of course, the goal of studying is to serve the court and become famous for the officials!" Li Shimin blurted out without even thinking about it.

In his opinion, the reason why the family is so unscrupulous is because the brothers of the family occupy most of the official quotas, if these officials are Li Shimin's own people, then how can he be so passive.

"Sure enough, your Majesty, even you think that the purpose of studying is to serve the court, and become a superior official or nobleman, and most of the scholars in the world feel even more so." Du Chengfeng said with a smile.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Of course there is a problem!" Du Chengfeng stood up suddenly, raised his voice and retorted, "Your Majesty, this is the so-called Confucianism that has always advocated 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'. ”

It is this so-called Confucian fallacy that has made all the scholars in the world happy for thousands of years. This is the error of concepts, the misunderstanding of concepts. Du Chengfeng said confidently.

Du Chengfeng continued: "Of course, it is not said that it is not good to study to serve the court, and it may be a dream of a scholar to become an official. But did the emperor ever think that in today's Tang Dynasty, how many people can get fame by reading, and how many people in the world can read. ”

"The lucky ones can win the favor of fate and become famous, but more often than not, the imperial examination is hopeless or famous."

"And then the future emperor of these people has thought about it? Most of them have studied hard for most of their lives, but what is the result? What do they get? Huaicai is not depressed, and it can be said that most of the endings are very tragic. Du Chengfeng's tone became a little excited.

Du Chengfeng's repeated questions and emotions made Li Shimin speechless, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

wanted him to be the emperor, but he was blocked by Du Chengfeng, who was only 16 years old, and couldn't say anything.

Li Shimin asked himself if he was worthy of the people of the world, worthy of the civil and military officials, and often confidently felt that his destiny was extraordinary, wise and martial, but at this moment, he was broken by Du Chengfeng so little, and he reflected how sad the scholars in the world were.

Du Chengfeng sighed and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, there are many talented and ambitious people among the people, but they can't get ahead, they can't enter the official career, and they can't benefit the people, how depressed they are!" ”

"There is a saying: useless are scholars, all they lack is an opportunity and a platform. Then again, the imperial court doesn't need so much study to be an official. ”

"So the emperor thinks about it, what should they do in this situation? Your Majesty, correct publicity and guidance are very important, and studying is not only a way out for being an official and gaining fame, but also has many directions. ”

"Reading should be more about enriching and strengthening oneself; In order to better serve the people; In order to better promote the forward development of human society; It is also for the country to become more civilized. ”

"And the new education I am talking about is to completely break this fallacy that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', change the way of education, and correctly guide and publicize, so that everyone will feel that reading is useful and hopeful."
