"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what is a soldier?"

Tear solo first, and test the other party before saying it.

Li Chengqian was not asked, and immediately spoke. "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked."

Sure enough, this was the case, and Lu Zhe was overjoyed. What Li Chengqian said is almost a standard answer, but it comes from "Sun Tzu", no matter what era it is put in, it can be regarded as the correct answer.

"Since soldiers are a major matter of the country, why does Sun Tzu still say that soldiers are treacherous, so they can show that they can't, they can't use it, they don't use it, they are near and they are far away, and vice versa. Profit and temptation, chaos and take? Could it be that the great affairs of the country depend on sophistry? Lu Zhe smiled and asked a rhetorical question.

This - Li Chengqian made a difficulty, he received the Confucian education system since he was a child, and he had the impression that the most taboo treachery in national affairs was to deal with it in a dignified and righteous manner, and in the education he received, the exercise of sophistry was not done by a king, and was despised by a gentleman.

Hey, hey, looking at Li Chengqian's difficult appearance, Lu Zhe, who successfully got set, was also quite happy.

The requirement of war is to change, and to achieve victory by all means, it is necessary to use inducement and deception to achieve victory, which is the core of the way of war.

The problem is that at the moment when you are advocating benevolent government and advocating being a gentleman, you can do this, but you can't say that.

The sophistry of soldiers is the essence of soldiers, but under the discourse system dominated by Confucianism, the act of winning through deception and inducement is not considered a gentleman's behavior, and is despised by a gentleman.

This is the contradiction between the two discourse systems, it is clear that the rule of ancient China is the backbone of Confucianism, but the ruler must not say that he supports Legalism, not only can not show support, but also criticize it fiercely.

Therefore, when the seventeen-year-old Li Chengqian encountered this problem that all emperors of all dynasties had encountered, he still looked too young. Neither Confucius's theory nor Sun Tzu's theory can be placed in his beak. He has received a Confucian education since he was a child, but he still can't accept the fact that national affairs rely on sophistry.

Although that's exactly what happened.

"Huh?" When Li Shimin heard this, his eyelids raised, and he looked at Lu Zhe's words, but did not speak. As the emperor, he naturally understands the twists and turns, for this problem, Li Shimin's attitude is almost the same as that of the emperors of previous dynasties, for this kind of conceptual problem that is a bit vain, Li Shimin is still a little disdainful, from his ability to show that he is the same as Cao Cao, is a practical person.

So when Lu Zhe raised this question, his evaluation of Lu Zhe in his heart couldn't help but drop a little.

Could it be that this person is a first-class eater? Is it a man of tongue? Lu Zhe asked Li Chengqian's method rhetorically, and Li Shimin understood at a glance that it was nothing more than a common method used by literati to talk about war.

However, in his opinion, even if Lu Zhe follows Zhao Kuo's example and talks on paper, he can find out this problem at a young age, and he is better than children like Datang.

So he didn't interrupt, but quietly waited for Lu Zhe to finish speaking, and then see how his son responded. As the future emperor, Li Chengqian will meet more people who talk wildly in the future, and how to distinguish and deal with it is one of the basic skills for judging whether the emperor is competent or not.

Obviously, Li Chengqian, who had been educated in Confucianism since he was a child, and although he was taught by famous generals, he was also limited to how to fight, and he was somewhat helpless when faced with the conceptual problem of this kind of Taoist controversy.

"Cheng Qiancai is shallow in learning, and I hope to tell Chao Sanlang." Li Chengqian thought that he was learning from his father, Corporal Lixian, but in Li Shimin's eyes, he was still a little disappointed.

There is no other reason, because Li Chengqian has lost the dominance of the topic, and as an emperor, he is not a qualified emperor who is led by the nose by his courtiers.

"Zhe asks the prince, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, let alone the art of war, is it to lead 8,000 soldiers, win a hundred battles, and dominate the world, or is it the pavilion chief, who is rarely the Han Gaozu who leads the army?"

"Cheng Qian thinks about it, since he is the overlord of Western Chu, he is higher, but the overlord of Western Chu is brave and brave, and he does not exercise benevolent government, so he will lose the world." As soon as the example of the overlord of Western Chu and Gaozu of the Han Dynasty came out, Li Chengqian faintly felt that he might have the upper hand in this debate, so he quickly answered a standard answer, that is, the overlord of Western Chu did not exercise benevolent government, so he lost the world. Add points for your son in front of the father and the queen mother.

Damn, this little thief is so difficult. Li Chengqian even thought of what this Chaosanlang was going to say, which was nothing more than to lead the world immediately, not to rule the world immediately, and then persuade him not to learn sophistry, and to implement benevolent government well in order to be invincible.

It's the same as his teachers.

These are the scholars, the big turbans. Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, was a little unhappy for no reason, watching Lu Zhe ask Li Chengqian so much, Li Shimin remembered that he was also said to him by Confucian bigwigs such as Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda, and he was also very unhappy.

Although this son is young, he is quite sophisticated, but unfortunately he is only a rotten Ruer. Seeing that Lu Zhe was so old-fashioned at such a young age, the idea of auspiciousness from the sky just now suddenly became a little uneasy.

Anyway, for the prosperity of my Li dynasty, I will let you be the auspicious rui of this country. Li Shimin secretly had a preliminary idea about Lu Zhe's treatment, that is, to make this immortal disciple who was so young and old a golden signboard to cooperate with the legitimacy of promoting Li Tang.

Just like the honorary titles of later generations, fame is greater than substance.

Datang is so biggest, it's still okay to raise a young rotten Confucian. Li Shimin thought secretly. It's a pity that this body thaumaturgy.

Unexpectedly, immediately after, Lu Zhe's words surprised everyone in the hall.

"The prince is wrong, and he thinks that Han Gaozu's military attainments are better than those of the overlord."

"What?" Li Chengqian's eyes widened in disbelief.

Pretend to be amazing and make a name for it? Li Shimin shook his head slowly, and his evaluation of Lu Zhe completely dropped to a new level.

"This is the first time Cheng Qian has heard of such a high theory, and he asked Chao Sanlang to solve Cheng Qian's doubts." Li Chengqian felt a little confused and unconvinced, you just forget it, and even said that Xiang Yu's art of war is not as good as Liu Bang, isn't this an insult to my IQ?

After all, Xiang Yu, who has won a hundred battles and has the color of a tragic hero, is a figure worthy of worship for every boy.

"Indeed, in the eyes of everyone, the invincible overlord Xiang Yu, compared to the Han Gaozu, who has rarely won and has been defeated by the overlord many times, is indeed inferior to the art of war, but it is a mediocre argument, this Han Gaozu's art of war is indeed much higher than Xiang Yu."

"Cheng Qian would like to hear the details." Li Chengqian asked a little unhappily.

Hey, hey, you ancients, I'm afraid you still have to learn one, there is a theory about war. Seeing Li Shimin looking at this, Lu Zhe was ready to share a little knowledge of war theory in later generations with these ancients.
