As soon as Li Buqi said that the law of the ancestors could also be changed, the three ministers almost looked angry together: "Nonsense! If you don't follow the ancestral system, won't the world be in chaos? You dare to say such a rebellious word! ”

Li Buqi still looked cute: "This is not the opinion of the minister, and now Shilin is talking about it like this." It's been a few months, haven't you heard of Xianggong and participating in politics? ”

Yan Shu asked: "Who said that you can not follow the ancestral system?" Why didn't I know? ”

Li Buqi said: "In recent months, the scholars in the capital have been talking violently, some saying that the 'Zhou Li' is no longer feasible, and some saying that Confucius's teachings are outdated. They also wrote a lot of articles on this matter, and they are all good articles. Because he is learning composition, he has collected a lot, and after reading it, he feels reasonable. The master is the originator of Confucianism, and the "Zhou Li" is also an ancestral system that must be observed. ”

"That's right. Several of the country's superintendents have also written articles. It can be seen that the ancestral system is not relied upon, this is what the people want! ”

Although Li's reasons for not giving up are a bit far-fetched, they can still be connected. Therefore, Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang were angry: "Who is so bold? actually slandered "Zhou Li" and Confucius? When I look back, I should ask Gakumasa in Tokyo how he taught his students. ”

Denying "Zhou Li" and Confucius is digging the roots of Confucianism, is it tolerable or unbearable? No wonder the two old gentlemen were annoyed.

Li Buqi said: "Don't be angry, these articles are really reasonable." For this reason, the lower officials also collected a lot, and some of them were placed in the minister's duty room. Why don't you just look at it and draw conclusions? ”

Zhao Zhen was also curious: "Then let people take it, and I will take a look." ”

So he called a little eunuch to come, and Li Buqi told him to go to his two officials to ask for the manuscript, and the little eunuch trotted all the way there.

Lü Yijian and Zhang Dexiang are older, and they have been worrying more about power and art recently, paying little attention to some market news, and they can't figure out the situation, but Yan Shu often drinks and writes poems with the literati in the capital, and he remembers what is going on when Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang are angry.

I heard that a group of noble children gambled in front of the four schools because of the argument with the literati about who was the gentleman, and as a result, the children of the noble family proposed to use the "six arts of the gentleman" as the standard for judging the gentleman, which was to bully the scholars of the poor family, and of course the scholars did not agree, so they quarreled. Of course, in the end, there was no result, but this result was unacceptable to the literati. In their opinion, their numbers are the advantage of crushing the level, and they have always held the right to speak, and in this case, they have not won the result or lost, so they wrote articles to spray when they were unbalanced.

In particular, the faces of the sons and daughters of the nobles of "who am I afraid of with the ancestral system in hand" angered the scholars, and more and more people joined the ranks of spraying, and it was inevitable that some of them would spray more intensely. They are all people who think very highly of themselves, and they must not tolerate being looked down upon by a group of martial artists, and it is inevitable to say something out of line.

If this matter is not brought to the emperor, it is nothing, the Great Song Dynasty has never condemned the crime with speech, and this matter is a group of children fighting each other. Today, however, it is not so simple to get entangled with the issues that are being discussed. On the one hand, Confucius and "Zhou Li" are questioned, and on the other hand, the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be questioned, and this contradiction is not easy to reconcile.

Therefore, Yan Shu wanted to quickly divert the topic, but Li Buqi had successfully attracted the emperor's attention. Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Yan Shu had no choice but to continue to be silent.

When the little eunuch went to pick up the manuscript, Zhao Zhen asked: "There is a fifth reason, you can tell me." ”

Li Buqi said: "In the end, it is illegal to teach and manage. Whether a soldier can fight or not depends not only on the strength of his muscles and bones, but also on discipline, then cultivating courage to temper his mind, and then training his physique and teaching skills and strategies. Only soldiers with discipline, courage, calm heart, good physique, and excellent skills can crisscross the north like the Han and Tang dynasties, and make it easy for barbarians. ”

Zhang Dexiang praised again in a timely manner: "It's not easy to talk about!" You're just talking on paper. ”

Li Buqi said: "Xiaguan is naturally also talking on paper, but Xiaguan has been in the barracks, has seen what the battle array is like, and has heard a lot of stories about the Tang Army from people, which is more reliable than people who have never seen actual military affairs." ”

Zhang Dexiang rolled his eyes as if choked. However, Li Buqi said that he had practical experience, which he really couldn't refute.

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Buqi and the prime minister were choking, and hurriedly diverted the conversation, and said a joke that he thought was funny: "Where are people with good courage, heart, physique, and skills to choose, I am afraid that it is no less than choosing a jinshi." ”

Li Buqi said: "The body can be trained, the technique can be taught, and courage and heart are actually the nature of most people, but they have not been discovered by appropriate methods." Just like He's Bi, it's just a stone without thinking. The minister thought that it was precisely because the master understood this that he attached importance to education. ”

Zhang Dexiang's nephew has always been unpleasant to Li Buqi, but in front of Zhang Dexiang, Li Buqi has been given a lot of eye medicine, so Zhang Xianggong has always been very worried that Li Buqi will cause the emperor to learn badly by dangling in front of the emperor. Therefore, as soon as Li Buqi's voice fell, he said: "Since everyone does not lack courage and temperament, it is better for you to teach the forbidden army and see what kind of soldiers can be trained." ”

Zhang Xianggong has been a county magistrate and knows that it is not easy to do practical things. And he also knows that those forbidden troops are all at the level of the uncle, and they will make trouble if something goes wrong. That's why Zhang Xianggong asked Li Buqi to train the forbidden army with his set of theories, so that the forbidden army would make trouble if he was not careful, and it was necessary to appease the army at that time.

Li Buqi is not a novice in the workplace, he has pushed people into the pit many times, and he has a lot of experience, of course, he can see the form clearly. But he said unhurriedly: "What brings out the courage and character of the human heart, it is better to do it at a young age, preferably one who has not been tainted by vices before the age of eighteen." Once a person is old, these courages and dispositions are worn out and can no longer be discovered. ”

Zhang Dexiang's tone was disdainful: "Since it's nature, how can it be consumed?" ”

Li Buqi said: "Xianggong is rare and strange, and his nature can naturally be consumed." For example, cats have the nature of catching mice, but some cats raised by wealthy families have lost this nature because they do not need to catch mice. The minister called this phenomenon the use of the waste and the retreat. ”

Zhao Zhen was interested when he heard it: "There are cats that can't catch mice?" ”

Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang and Yan Shu shook their heads again and again: "How can there be such a thing." How can a cat not catch mice? ”

Li Buqi said: "Naturally, there is. If you don't believe me, you can do an experiment and find a few cats to try. ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and he had an expression that he was about to see the result.
