Since the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism has declined, interpretation and Taoism are rampant, the world is chaotic, and if you want to unify the country, you must first stabilize people's hearts. And to calm people's hearts, it is better to pay tribute to Confucius!

Wang Pu, as the second minister, holds the title of scholar of the National History Museum, and among the princes of the dynasty, except for Feng Dao, Wang Pu has the best knowledge.

Our Taishi Feng is old first, and secondly, he is such an embarrassing identity, he picks his head to sacrifice Kong, but he is afraid that Old Master Kong will crawl out of the grave, so he can only let Wang Pu come.

After saying to Guo Weichen, Boss Guo immediately nodded.

Before returning to the capital, the army must first go to Qufu to pay tribute to Confucius.

Guo Wei is still a man of action, and after he put it forward, he asked to leave immediately within three days.

"I object, the old man will never agree!"

Wei Renpu's resolute attitude made Ye Hua startled.

"That Wei Xianggong, you are also a scholar, a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, isn't it a good thing to pay tribute to your ancestors? You should be honored! ”

Wei Renpu was silent with his head stuffy, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The old man used to be obsessed with Confucianism in his early years, and he studied hard for ten years. ”

Ye Hua was taken aback, he didn't expect that Lao Wei was quite miserable when he was a child, and his mother was actually tired and blind in order to let him study.

"And then you failed the imperial examination? Love turns into hate? Right? ”

Wei Renpu said angrily: "How do you know that I failed the imperial examination? ”

"Isn't it? You're not from a Jinshi, I'm not right! ”

"Humph!" Wei Renpu snorted, "You just like to be smart!" The old man has never participated in the imperial examination! ”

"Huh? So why? ”

Wei Renpu said viciously: "No money!" It takes 10 yuan to catch the exam, my father sold the land and let me go to the exam, and I took the money to ask for a doctor and treat my mother's eyes, for this matter, my father beat me hard and made me kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. ”

"Later, I went to Luoyang and became a small official, and then I went to the sage's mansion until where I am today...... The early years of Confucius and Mencius have long been thrown away, and that thing is useless at all! I've only read two books over the years. ”

Ye Hua scratched his head, "I guess, is it a copy of the Tao Te Ching and a copy of the Art of War?" ”

This kid was stunned, Wei Renpu was shocked, and asked, "Ye Hua, have you gone to the old man's bedroom?" How do you know what I'm looking at? ”

Ye Hua looked at the ceiling with disdain, he clasped his knees with his hands, and said coldly: "What books are useful, I still don't know!" ”

Wei Renpu was curious: "Then tell me, why these two books?" ”

"Lao Tzu's 5,000 words are supreme wisdom, and if you read through the Tao Te Ching, you will understand how to look at all kinds of things in the world. As a person, you must first have wisdom, and then you must have the ability to protect yourself, so the second book is to look at the art of war, right? ”

Wei Renpu smacked it, although he had read it for many years and felt that these two books were the most useful, but they were not as sharp as Ye Hua, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Well said, these two books are Taoist and soldier, and they have nothing to do with Confucianism! The old man would rather go to worship the saint Lao Tzu than to worship Confucius! Confucius did nothing in his life, ran into walls everywhere, and if he learned from him, he couldn't even cure his family. What kind of governance do you talk about? ”

Wei Renpu's dislike of Confucianism, which is a new hatred and old hatred, is intertwined.

And he easily won the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was preparing to carry the prestige of a big victory, exert his strength and feet, and strive to reach a higher level, Wang Pu and Fan Zhen made such a move.

All of a sudden, Lao Wei's credit was offset.

And that's just it, Wang Pu and they still have a backhand!

Wei Renpu had already received the news, Fan Zhen sent a letter to Guo Wei, suggesting that the number of students admitted to the imperial examination be expanded, and that the world's talents should be recruited, and he also suggested that the king of Jin should be arranged with a master to teach scriptures, and Qihong heard about it......

Three moves in a row, all of which are directed at the core.

After Ye Hua heard Wei Renpu complain, he only had admiration left.

These guys in the DPRK really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp!

"Wei Xianggong, that, Your Majesty trusts you and relies on you, if you think it's not appropriate, you just go and suggest, why complain to me, I really can't help!"

"Don't play tricks!"

Wei Renpu said angrily: "You kid won't be unclear, can the old man stop these three things?" ”

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been chaotic, divided and disputed, the warriors have been in power, and the people have been in hardship. From a Confucian point of view, this is the collapse of etiquette and music, and the way of sages is needed to educate people's hearts and make the world from chaos to order.

What emperor doesn't want peace in the world and peace in society?

No wonder Guo Wei nodded quickly.

As for expanding the imperial examination and recruiting talents, it is also something that Guo Wei has on his mind, at present, there is a lack of civilian officials in the DPRK and China, and there are so many government affairs, handing them over to the military head will only cause chaos, and civilian officials must be reused.

Besides, finding a master for Chai Rong and cultivating a prince is also a proper meaning, Guo Wei not only will not refuse, but also take the initiative to choose the most suitable person...... It's just Wei Xianggong, it doesn't seem to be suitable!

Since ancient times, Chinese people have attached great importance to teachers and respected teachers. Although there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, once some important ministers become the teachers of the Son of Heaven, they can use the way of teachers to restrain and advise the Son of Heaven.

The weight of the words and ordinary ministers are not on the same level at all! Lao Wei was able to become a three-phase minister, relying on the power of the dragon and the power of decision-making.

If Chai Rong ascends the throne, his status will be discounted, and if those few people are allowed to take the lead and become the master of the prince, where will he still have his place in the court in the future!

Although the civil officials are amiable and gentle on the surface, they are really involved in the battle of interests, which is definitely much more fierce and sinister than the martial artists!

The two are like academic debates and street fights, and they are not on the same level at all.

"Ye Hua, if you can help the old man and mess up this matter, I, I owe you a favor!"

As Wei Renpu, saying that I owe you a favor is basically equivalent to the old man will help you in the future, let's join forces! Wei Xianggong had already pleaded.

What a godsend!

Ye Hua stared at the bricks on the ground, as if he wanted to penetrate with his gaze.

"Wei Xianggong, you have read two books, in fact, I think you should read another one!"

"What do you mean?" Wei Renpu said angrily: "Don't play dumb riddles, the old man is too lazy to bother!" ”

Ye Hua said very seriously: "In addition to Taoism and soldiers, Confucianism also has value, Confucianism tells us how to maintain a family, a country, at home, to be kind to the father and filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, in the court, to be loyal to the monarch and the minister, and to have the common people." The land of Shenzhou, such a huge territory, a large number of people. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, all dynasties have respected Confucianism, as a prominent study, and Wei Xianggong will not understand the truth, right? ”

"Hmm!"

Wei Renpu exhaled the turbidity in his chest heavily, his face was gloomy, and he looked very dissatisfied.

The reason is good, Wei Renpu really doesn't look down on Confucianism.

Especially when the dragon and snake rise to land and the world is unified, letting Confucianism prevail will only affect the speed of clearing Liuhe. Wei Renpu is not just for himself, but also for the overall situation.

"Champion Hou, the identity of the old man is really inconvenient, if you can contact the generals and stop this matter together, it will be a great merit."

"Hehe, when Your Majesty made a decision, he didn't ask me at all, and His Majesty wouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, it's better not to say it!"

"Alas! Could it be that the court is going to become a sour Confucian! Wei Renpu was angry, slammed the table, his beard pouted, and he moved back and forth like an older goat.

Ye Hua suddenly laughed, "That Wei Xianggong, in fact, it's not impossible. ”

Wei Renpu's eyes lit up, "Will the plan be released?" ”

"Confucianism governs Confucianism!"

……

Tomorrow is the day when Guo Wei leaves, Ye Hua, the hussar guards, and the minister of cultural relics must accompany him, and the second minister Wang Pu is the main priest, and he must be responsible for the whole process.

Fortunately, Wang Pu is confident, and he has already had a belly case, which is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no intention of being busy at all.

"Wang Xianggong, I used to read a sentence called 'Confucius is called Ji's, and the eight dances in the court, which is tolerable, but not tolerable.'" What is the explanation for this? ”

Wang Pu smiled, "It's rare that the champion Hou is studious, the music and dance of the eight hundred dances and sacrifices, according to the Zhou ceremony, the eight hundred princes, the six princes, the four hundred doctors, and the two scholars, each eight people." Ji is a doctor of Lu State, and he has to have four hundreds, and he actually uses eight hundred in the family temple, which is really a courtesy. The master lamented that the Spring and Autumn Rites were bad and happy, this is an example! ”

"Oh!"

Ye Hua suddenly realized, "The master has been loyal to the Great Zhou all his life, and it just so happens that the name of my dynasty is also the Great Zhou, and it is really in the dark, there are already days!" ”

Wang Pu seemed to have gained, pondered for a long time, happily stroked his palms, and praised: "Champion Hou Jie's wonder, Your Majesty lifted the three-foot sword, restored the Han people's country, the north is Khitan, the south is Tang Yue, the merit is great, it should be sacrificed to Confucius, in order to show the holy virtue of the Son of Heaven, isn't it beautiful!" ”

Wang Pu is measured, he speaks well, and the truth he speaks is unconvincing, even Wei Renpu is dumbfounded, just see what Ye Hua, this kid, can say!

"Wang Xianggong, the Eight Hundred Dance is the dance of the Son of Heaven, and the master disdains it...... Since Confucius didn't even use the Eight Dances, did it go against the Master's heart to let the Son of Heaven personally pay tribute to Confucius? Besides, I heard that since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has great merits, when he goes to Mount Tai to seal Zen and tell the sky with his heart, this is the right thing to do! What is it to tell Confucius? Is he bigger than God? I'm afraid this doesn't make sense, right? ”

After listening to Ye Hua's words, Wang Pu suddenly fell silent. But Wei Renpu cheered in his heart and almost shouted!

Okay, Ye Hua, you kid is good enough!

Wei Renpu deliberately pretended to be concerned, "Xianggong Wang, since the master satirizes the traitors and abuses the gift of the Son of Heaven, how can it be better to let the Son of Heaven pay tribute in person, it is inappropriate, it is really inappropriate!" I'll just forget it! ”

What are you kidding, Wang Pu immediately retorted: "Xianggong Wei, when Han Gaozu personally paid tribute to his master, there were 400 years of the Han Dynasty, and now His Majesty has returned with a great victory, just following the example of Han Gaozu, how can it be counted?" ”

The quarrel between the two mentioned Liu Bang's sacrifice to Confucius, and Ye Hua suddenly said: "Wang Xianggong, did the ancestor Liu Bang really go to worship Confucius?" ”
