Money can derive many, many kinds of new things, and war also has such a function, which can make great contributions to the development of mankind in the history of human progress and development, but also bring endless pain to mankind.

Nothing is absolute, just like war, while developing science and technology, it has brought great harm to mankind. While money makes human progress possible, it also brings great harm to human beings, even more cruel than war.

In the history of human progress, especially in the history of modern industry, the rapid development and progress of human beings, we only see the products that have more benefits to mankind than disadvantages, but we ignore more products developed by Europe and Western countries that have no benefit to mankind at all.

Nowadays, the so-called Western etiquette is very popular in China, but the etiquette left by our Chinese nation has been slowly forgotten and sealed in the river of history in the vast history.

This does not prove how noble the Western etiquette is, or how suitable it is for the Chinese nation, but because the etiquette of the Chinese nation coexists with the Western etiquette, and our etiquette always binds people's minds and souls, so that etiquette is not the embodiment of personal quality, but a shackle of other people's will, which is put on our body.

Taking the will of others as the carrier, and taking the explanations of others as our own quality and etiquette, obviously, in the long river of history, if we want to pass on forever, there is a huge gap in difficulty compared with the personal quality and etiquette of the West.

Similarly, when European civilization was developing rapidly, their quality of daring to explore, innovate, and not afraid of failure allowed them to create more technologies that were beneficial to mankind while possessing great wealth.

On the other hand, looking at the entire Chinese nation, after the so-called four major inventions that make the Chinese people proud, what else can we get our hands on? What's more, even the term "four great inventions" was put forward by the Englishman Joseph Eyjo, and was later commonly used by Chinese historians.

In the 5,000-year-old historical river, it takes an average of 1,000 years for an invention that can affect the world to appear, and this algorithm is obviously unreasonable and extremely absurd.

But what makes us feel even more sad is that when the four great inventions that we have been claiming were first proposed by the British, we can still think of the traditions of the Chinese nation: the four beauties, the four famous works, the four books and the five classics, and so on.

From this, we can also find that the wealth of wealth is the basis of human scientific and technological progress, but among many factors, etiquette and morality are important reasons that shackle us to create inventions.

The ancestors used all the brains and minds that could be created on etiquette and virtue, fame and fortune, as well as the control and enslavement of human nature. (Sorry, I didn't stop, I almost forgot what I was doing.) ）

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life. Are you sure this is his new poem? Wu Mei was in the main hall of Xingqing Palace, chanting the poem that had been introduced into the palace, and at the same time asked the eunuch Wang Lou next to her.

"It's a new work by Your Majesty, and it was done at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion when you were about to board the car, but Your Majesty said that this is a poem by a great sage that he admires, and Your Majesty is just quoting, not doing it by Your Majesty." Wang Lou further explained the details.

Emperor Li Zhi, who sat on the recliner for a long time without saying a word, recited this poem silently in his heart a few times before he spoke: "The method of punishment is unique and novel, and it is forbidden for people to use the items related to him, Taiyi City and Guozijian, so I am afraid that it will ...... Hehe, that Su Gui and Du Xianyan, as well as Cui Rong, I'm afraid that the family is already surrounded by four walls now, right? ”

"Even if there are substitutes for some things, but over the years, more objects have been integrated into daily life, and then want to discard them, I'm afraid this is the difficult thing. Li Hong wanted to use this incident to remind and beat those five surnamed Qiwang and some scholars and literati who were still not giving up, but in this way, he really couldn't weigh whether the benefits of this matter to Li Hong outweighed the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. Wu Mei sighed, Li Hong has been fighting with the traditional forces led by the five surnames and Qiwang for so many years, but he has always been unable to subdue all these people.

I have to say that compared with the resoluteness and decisiveness, ruthlessness and ruthlessness on the battlefield, in the officialdom and in the class struggle, Li Hong obviously has no better way to completely eliminate the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes in the past 20 years.

"And I haven't heard him write poems for many years, how can he suddenly make such a poem this time? What's more, I always feel that this poem is incomplete, is there still a first half of it that has not been said? Wu Mei turned her head and glanced at the old Li Zhi, although he has been in the Zen position for five years, the vertigo that tormented him has not left him, and these days always break out from time to time.

"When he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally focused on national policies and government affairs. It's good not to be a poet, to be his emperor well, and to govern the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi closed his eyes with a headache, and the palace maid behind him was massaging his temples.

"Back to Your Majesty, this poem has been spread in the court in the past few days, and the half of the poem that should be left to chase the poor is the most discussed by the courtiers."

"What's there to talk about? Li Hong has been fighting with them for so many years, in order to show the freedom of the Tang Dynasty, so he did not kill them, not to mention that now Fanbang is in a foreign land, and he is counting on them to help Li Hong further expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty, so ah, Li Hong compares them to poor men, I am afraid that it is more of a warning, as for Su Gui and others, it can only be said that they are unlucky. Wu Mei sat down in front of Li Zhi, held Li Zhi's hand and analyzed.

"It can't be abandoned and has to be suppressed, but the people in the world are the most difficult to manage, forget it, wait for him to come over in a while, you ask him for me, what do you think." Li Zhi said with his other hand, pressing on the back of Wu Mei's hand.

"Today, in the court, His Majesty once again recited this poem in front of the courtiers...... Wang Lou looked at the harmonious and quiet Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager who were in a good mood today, so he began to talk about some interesting things in the court.

"Boasting about yourself again?" Sure enough, after hearing Wang Lou's words, Wu Mei turned her head and asked.

And even the Emperor Taishang, who had been recuperating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and wanted to hear how Li Hong praised himself in front of the courtiers again.

"Your Majesty said to the ministers today after the early dynasty: I am the best at making poetry among the emperors, and the Mingjun ...... who is the best at being the emperor among the poets."

"Oops...... It's really unashamed, this kind of thick-skinned person really has no ...... at all. ”

"The sons and daughters visit their fathers and the queen mother."

Just when Wu Mei was chatting with Li Zhi and Wang Lou, someone's voice sounded from outside, and then there were bursts of palace maids and eunuchs saluting in unison.

Li Hong, who is thirty and two, has entered middle age according to the name of the people of this era, but the beard on his chin has never been long, unlike today's Tang people, who like to keep the beard of his chin long.

But the tall figure, and the body that has not forgotten to exercise since becoming the emperor, still looks so heroic and vigorous, although it is a casual clothes, but it still can't hide the increasing imperial spirit on the body now.

"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong and said lightly.

When the Emperor heard the voice, he immediately closed his eyes tightly, and once again began to pretend to sleep or close his eyes to recuperate.

"Is my father still taking a nap? I....... Li Hong pointed to the door behind him and continued: "Ask the palace maid that the father and the emperor have woken up, so the sons dare to come in to meet the father and the queen mother." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Li Zhi closed his eyes, but since the Zen throne, coupled with the various behavioral analyses that the Empress Dowager gave him about Li Hong on weekdays, he now knows more about his son than he did at the beginning.

Moreover, his son's words of "brought in, brought in" also made Li Zhi feel that this product must have something to ask for, otherwise, he would never have brought things over to visit him and the queen mother in person.

After so many years, this is the first time that the Tang Emperor personally came to Xingqing Palace with gifts, and on weekdays, it was either Pei Wanying, or Bai Chun, or when someone else came to visit, he would bring gifts, but Li Hong was the first time.

So at this moment, whether it is Li Zhi or Wu Mei, looking at someone has a feeling of a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken.

"It's nothing, Erchen just came to take a look, these objects happened to be sent by the envoys of the foreign Fanbang to visit Erchen in the court today, so Erchen didn't dare to delay for a moment, so they were sent to you and the queen mother." Li Hong pointed to several rows of large boxes, small boxes, and large utensils of gold, silver, pearls and jade.

After all, he came to borrow money, if he came empty-handed, Li Hong dared to guarantee that he would not be able to borrow a single line of money from Long Ma, and he would even be chased and beaten by a feather duster, and he would escape in embarrassment, so he thought about the purpose of his coming here, and finally had to take the plunge and bring a lot of things over to offer his courtesy.

Of course, Long Ma's disdainful eyes and mocking look, Li Hong didn't see it, in short, the purpose of coming here today is that the Emperor and the Queen Mother can do whatever they want to themselves, but as long as they are willing to lend money to themselves.

"Nothing? This box of things, you will give it away for nothing? Or did you say that these boxes and boxes were all searched by you from the homes of Su Gui, Du Xianyan, and Cui Rong, and there was no place to put them, so they were put here by my old woman? Wu Mei obviously wouldn't believe Li Hong's words, she knew better than anyone what kind of virtue her son was.

"So...... Both the father and the queen mother know? In the past few days, because of the affairs of Su Gui and others, now some people with the surname Qiwang or literati have begun to plan to refuse to use anything related to Erchen, Taiyi City, and Guozijian, do you know? When Erchen heard this, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. Li Hong pulled a chair and wanted to get closer to the dragon father to talk to the dragon mother, but he was pressed to his chest by a feather duster halfway through, and he couldn't move forward half a step.
