Chapter 204: Fighting Again?
"I know, but what does this have to do with you insulting the sages," Kong Yingda asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's a big deal, Master Kong, you don't know how many generations of ancestors, Dacheng's holy master Master Kong has been silent, and it can be seen that he only disapproves of the gods and ghosts. So what does it matter if I teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tear up Buddhist scriptures and play with them, and what does it matter to the sages? Could it be that Master Confucius, you think that the Buddhist scriptures were written by sages, and the Buddhist scriptures are full of golden and jade good words? Besides, even if this is really written by a sage, what kind of great words are there, what does it matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only tore the book cover, and did not damage the content inside" Wu Yuanqing's expression was calm, and his eyes looked directly at Kong Yingda and asked.
Kong Yingda, who has always been known for his sharp teeth and erudition and eloquence, was speechless for a while.
He was directly killed by Wu Yuanqing, who did not play cards according to common sense, and directly moved out of the old ancestor to talk about things.
"Sophistry, you are pure quibble, do you say that you are tearing Buddhist scriptures are Buddhist scriptures, even if you tear up Buddhist scriptures this time, do you dare to guarantee that you have not torn classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics before" What popped out this time was Zhang Liang, the general of the right guard of Changping County, and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, but now, compared to Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and the like are still far behind, first of all, the title is a grade worse.
Wu Yuanqing was not stunned by him, rolled his eyes and said: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince torn up books other than Buddhism, I think the palace maids in his palace, the inner servants should know best, if Lord Zhang doesn't believe it, you can ask Your Majesty to send someone to check it, anyway, it's just a matter of a while, I'll wait."
Wu Yuanqing's fearless expression shocked Zhang Liang, and when he looked up, he saw that the emperor was looking at him with a calm expression, as if he would give himself a good look as long as he dared to ask, so he could only shrink his neck, and lowered his voice an octave and said: "Even if it is just a torn Buddhist scripture, it is not right, isn't the Buddhist scripture a book, and it doesn't need to be loved." Even Buddhist scriptures are recorded by others one by one, so tearing them up at will, don't you need to respect the hard records of others, do you know how much time and how hard it takes for a book to become a book with content to read? ”
Seeing Zhang Liang holding back these words word by word, Wu Yuanqing's face was calm, but he was already laughing wildly in his heart.
Zhang Liang is a military general, in the early years was farming for a living, did not know a few big characters, and later took refuge in Wagang, and then later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, all the way relied on brave martial arts to promote officials, and later recruited private parties in Luoyang, the defendant was sent to prison, refused to confess that the main envoy was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, so he had merit, so he was named the county prince, and later became one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Just such an illiterate person, he blushed here to educate and then tell the importance of books, as well as the hardships and hardships of making books, how hard-won it is, this style of painting is completely wrong, too discordant.
Not only did Wu Yuanqing not stand it, but the other ministers couldn't help laughing, the emperor didn't want to see this heartfelt courtier embarrassed, so he quickly interrupted Zhang Liang's words with a smile before Wu Yuanqing refuted, and let him be listed, and then said to Wu Yuanqing with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Zhang Aiqing is reasonable, books are not easy to come by, and they should be loved and respected, even Buddhist scriptures." I am tolerant of all rivers in the Tang Dynasty, and my subjects should also be broad-minded, and should not have such shallowness. Wu Yuanqing, since you admit that tearing the book is the prince you taught, then you can't escape this responsibility, come on, drag me down and play 20 boards so that he can have a good memory, and at the same time, it can be regarded as an example, and others must not learn from him. Speaking of this, Li Shimin glared fiercely at the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was standing aside.
To be honest, Li Shimin is already taking it lightly, and he doesn't actually think it's a big deal in his heart, but he has to give face to the dozen ministers who complained about it, and he also thinks that he can't delay the normal progress of the wedding in the near future.
It stands to reason that the emperor is so gracious, Wu Yuanqing is not grateful to Dai De and cries bitterly, and he should have secretly laughed, but Wu Yuanqing did not.
I saw Wu Yuanqing kneeling down with a puff and shouted: "Don't Your Majesty, the minister is going to get married, how can he enter the cave room after receiving twenty boards." ”
The ministers almost fainted, Nima, at this time I was still thinking about entering the cave room, how big is your experience.
Li Shimin was also so angry that he slapped the case in front of him, and said sharply: "Presumptuous, I have already been extrajudicial and gracious, what are you going to do, will I really not treat you for a serious crime?" ”
"No, don't be angry, Your Majesty. Isn't it because you want to beat me up because you tear up the book? Isn't the reason why you have to make a board to tear up a book is because it is too time-consuming and hard to come by, so if I have a way to make it easy to make books, wouldn't all this be a problem? Wu Yuanqing waved his hand to stop the guards who were going to come up and drag him, and said quickly.
"Making it easy to make books? Do you have a way" Li Shimin's face changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly.
Now in addition to the surrounding situation, what bothers Li Shimin the most in the country is the family valves, these families who cultivate and read heirlooms have great power both locally and in the imperial court, and the largest five surnames and Qiwang even Li Shimin feel that it is very tricky, and they don't dare to provoke indiscriminately, and even the Li Tang royal family itself is from the Li family in Longxi.
And the reason why these five surnamed Qiwang and other wealthy families made the emperor so jealous was that these people controlled most of the cultural resources, that is, books.
It is precisely because of the difficulty in transcribing books that the storage of these family gate valves has become extremely precious, so that those who want to read have to turn to them for help, and many poor elites will even take refuge in these family gate valves for a book.
And after these gate valves themselves or the people who came to work for themselves became officials, they became the embodiment of the strength of the gate valves in the court and the central government, and became part of the power of the gate valves.
And this is the reason why the emperor is jealous of them.
The source of everything points to one thing, books.
If there is a way to make it easy to make books, so that the number of books increases, to the point that ordinary people can buy them, then the basis for the survival of the gate valve and the basis for inviting and buying talents no longer exists.
At that time, the family gate valve is a fart, without the invisible net woven by books and knowledge and culture, they are just scum.
