Chapter 103: Unfilial Son

In fact, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "respected Confucianism alone and overthrew a hundred schools", Confucianism became the only prominent school in the Han Dynasty. However, by the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism rose, and Confucianism suddenly fell into decline, and the situation did not improve until the three religions were united.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, although the status of Confucianism was higher than that of the other two and re-established as a prominent scholar, it did not reach the lofty status of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

For example, Confucius's current nickname in the Tang Dynasty is "Ancestor", which is not a noble title, and the elevation of his status is still in Song Zhenzong's title of "Holy Teacher"!

Therefore, at this moment, Li Chengqian raised the issue of "Confucius did not respect his ancestors", and Confucianism scolded him verbally at most, and the matter was exposed. But if it was proposed by the prince of Song Ming, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Dare to ask who your Excellency is?" Ma Zhou put down the scroll in his hand and asked lightly.

Oh, yes!

There are three princes who are about seven or eight years old in His Majesty the Emperor today, but which one is it?

Li Chengqian didn't answer directly, his cunning eyes rolled, and he said: "Gu Nai is the eldest of the princes, and I heard that Mr. Tingtao Gema is very knowledgeable, even more powerful than Gu's teacher Kong James....... Mr. Kong is the crown prince James, and he is the descendant of the Quwo Kong family......

Lone is naturally unconvinced, so come over to see if Mr. Ma, your poor family in Hedong, is powerful, or Kong James, the grandson of Confucius, is better! ”

The people in Tingtao Pavilion were first confused, how did they know who the biggest prince was, fortunately, a nearby local student mentioned a few words, and then they realized that it was the prince of the Tang Dynasty who was standing in front of them at this moment!

Merely....... This prince is too hateful, how can Mr. Ma offend Quwo Kong's family if he is from a poor family?

His heart is damned!

But when they thought about it, they were suddenly secretly frightened, it was a dispute between the poor family and the family?

"Ma Zhou's life is small, a cloth coat, and his knowledge is naturally not as good as Kong Yingda's Kong James." The corners of Ma Zhou's mouth hooked a trace of arc, and he got up and bowed.

But before he could finish speaking, he spoke again: "Yes....... A certain is a little better than Kong James, and he is also proficient in the nursery, and there will definitely be no Tao Yuanming's planting beans in the south of the mountain, and the grass is full of beans and seedlings. Such a ridiculous thing. ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment.

After all, he is only a nine-year-old child, and it is already very good to be able to organize a sentence of "sowing discord" in his mind, how can he compare to an adult like Ma Zhou who has been in the mix for decades?

However, just when Li Chengqian was a little confused when he touched his head, his task had been achieved. Although it was just a simple sentence, it undoubtedly dropped a bomb in Tingtao Pavilion and even the entire Chang'an City.

The news that Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, appeared at the Royal Academy of Medicine, spread in an instant.

......

The Imperial Palace Forbidden Garden, similar to the Imperial Garden of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is located in the northwest of Longshou Plain.

There are willow orchards, peach orchards, vineyards, and pear orchards in the forbidden garden, which are full of life. Dozens of idle and elegant pavilions stand in the stretching mountains, like the brocade beads on the bright belt, for the palace concubines to set up banquets and watch the scenery and rest, on the site of the former Jiaofang Palace, rebuilt the palace with the style of the Han Dynasty.

The golden willow next to Ziyang Lake hung down slender willow branches, like a beauty with self-pity in Gu Ying, secretly sad. In the tea pavilion near the lake, several concubines accompanied His Majesty the Emperor to play Go.

"Your Majesty, the concubines recently went to the West Market to purchase rouge, I heard that there seems to be a lively scene?" The eldest grandson Wujian pinched up a white seed and played it on the chessboard at will.

"Sister, have you heard about it too? I heard that this incident has made a lot of trouble among the people recently, what is it called? Concubine Yan Hui frowned, shaking Concubine Xiang's fan and trying to remember.

Sitting on the other side, Concubine Yang, who was sitting quietly, lightly opened her lips and said, "This matter ...... The concubine knew something from Ke'er, it seemed that the students of Qujiangfang Medical College were doing something...... Evaluation? ”

"According to me, the scenery of the Hibiscus Garden can be called a must in Chang'an, but it is a pity that it has become an academy, and now it has come out again, those students really have thoughts, they should take care of their studies, and contribute to Datang and His Majesty as soon as possible." Concubine Yan Hui pursed her lips, her tone a little resentful.

The Hibiscus Garden was established in Qujiang Pond and has always been a royal garden.

Li Shimin frowned unconsciously, in recent days, Chang'an has been talking a lot, but he heard that several gambling houses have also begun to bet on who wins and who loses, according to Du Ruhui's meaning, this is cultural prosperity, open the wisdom of the people, and should be promoted.

However, he believes that it is better for the imperial court not to get involved in this matter. Even though the one named Zhou Han has a little skill and can be rewarded by his father, he is just a child of a poor family, not as good as the big family.

Datang, after all, is the family and the royal family who rule the world together. The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is not the people of Limin, but the ...... Family!

Although Wei Zheng said that the monarch is like a boat floating on the water, and the water is the people, and the people can hold up the boat and let it perish.

Li Shimin summed up a sentence for this: "Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat!" ”

However...... Having experienced the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, does he really think that it was the people of Li who overthrew the Great Sui?

"Queen, you can pay attention to this matter, but you must not be involved in it. September is the imperial court's talent ceremony, and the imperial examination is about to arrive......." Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

Compared with the family, the Hanmen is really weak, although he as the emperor also thought about weakening the family, but the Tang Dynasty is not stable, and this time is far from coming.

Looking at the court, how many people are not from a family?

He changed the topic and laughed again: "This matter was originally just an internal struggle within the medical school, but my father transferred this battle to the entire Chang'an...... He is getting old, and he doesn't like it, so he wants to add some blockage to a certain before he dies, how can he be fooled so easily? ”

Obviously, in Li Shimin's view, this is a trivial matter, but the Emperor Taishang insisted on sublimating to the West Market, thus causing a storm in Chang'an, what is the plan?

"My father wants to make me anxious, but I just don't follow his wishes, and I don't participate in this battle, and the other country is there...... A certain and a few poor scholars who have already made a name for themselves to practice their articles, and when the time comes, they will be shown to the princes of the imperial court, and they will definitely be gagged! ”

If Zhou Han loses and loses to those family members, then the family will have a reason to change the imperial court from the conquest system and the imperial examination system to the conquest system, supplemented by the imperial examination system!

But Li Shimin is still Li Shimin, there is a squib here, so he will put a flower in another place, anyway, Guozijian is the official school.

But who expected that at this moment, a eunuch came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the prince went to Qujiangfang Medical College at noon today to listen to the lecture, and ...... The teacher there quarreled and scolded the gentleman there for daring to fight Kong as soon as he introduced cloth...... James's comparison......."

"What? This unfilial son! Li Shimin's face suddenly turned pale, he slapped the stone table angrily, and the chess pieces on it suddenly fell to the ground.
