Zhao Pu straddled his bookbag diagonally, holding a book in his hand, and read as he walked on the gravel path of the college. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sunlight fell from the locust tree next to the path, and it was a little dazzling on the pages of the book, and Zhao Pu tripped over the raised stones under his feet, and his steps staggered. Putting away the book, he crouched down in front of the stones, looked twice, and stretched out his hand to smooth out the bulging stones.

Students from near and far came and went, not many nor very few, and the footsteps were in a hurry, and no one cared about Zhao Pu's small action. Looking at these classmates, Zhao Pu stood up, slightly stunned.

Since the last fight between the Confucian students and the hundreds of students, the atmosphere in the academy has been a little dull. Although the students who took the lead were all locked up, the normal operation of the academy did not seem to be affected much, but in fact, it was a time of unrest at the moment.

Zhao Pu still doesn't know the deep-seated reasons for the brawl between the two sides, but Jingyi students have always been arrogant, looking down on students from other disciplines, and often have contempt, provocation and even insults, but Zhao Pu knows it. Although he didn't know why the other party was like this, he knew that it was very wrong, even though he was also a student of Jingyi.

Today is the day of the college's holiday, and when Zhao Pu came to the Lun Xuetang, it was already overcrowded, with thousands of people sitting or standing, crowding the Lun Xuetang. These people are not only gentlemen and students of the academy, but also many scholars who have recently rushed to Luoyang from the north and south of the Yangtze River, Cha Wenhui, Chen Tao, and Shi Xubai are all standing among them.

In front of the crowd, there were twenty or thirty desks placed in turn, and Wang Buqi, Yang Wei, Qi Tongwen and other colleges were all present, including some noble doctors. On the low platform, in front of the four small tables placed opposite each other, there was no one.

In a word, most of Luoyang's Shilin is gathered here today.

The reason why this is so is because the prince has an order, and today in the academy on the school, "on the way of scholars, on the way of learning, on the way of governing the country". And there is a hidden rumor that today's argument is likely to be related to the future of the Tang Dynasty in the ideology of governing the country.

There was excitement on Yang Yu's face, and he said to Qi Tongwen beside him: "When I entered Luoyang for a long time, I waited for this day after all. The way of governing the country and learning, who else is Confucianism? Since the Han and Tang dynasties, Confucianism is official science, Confucianism is the way to govern the country, and since the imperial court has made great tributes, it is almost the only way for scholars to become officials. Although it is said that with the strength of the Han Dynasty, it will inevitably fall, and with the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty, the world will inevitably be in chaos, but is this a problem with Confucianism? Of course not. I thought hard for a long time, and finally got something: the death of Qin is violent, and the death of Han is still violent, why not? Isn't the yellow scarf violent? Wouldn't Dong Zhuowu be violent? If you look at it as such, the decline of the Tang Dynasty is also because of violence. Aren't An Lushan and Shi Siming violent? Isn't the Yellow Nest violent? Isn't Zhu Wen violent? Thinking about it deeply, isn't it violent to have a festival in the world's feudal towns? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Wei's face was even more radiant, as if the truth was in his own hands, "Qin Yi died violently, but in the next thousand years, the people of the world still haven't learned a lesson, if they learn a lesson, where are Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Why is there still Anshi and Zhu Wen in this dynasty? If you want to make the future society not die due to violence, you have to control the martial arts. Martial artists are violent, do not understand etiquette, have no reverence, and do not know the words of saints, and do what they do, but with a momentary thought, how can they not guard against it? Soldiers, murder weapons, 100 soldiers, enough to kill 10,000 people, thousands of soldiers, enough to make the world have a disaster of blood and light! If the two are one, if they don't agree with each other, they will be chaotic and the country will be tilted, how can the lord of the people not guard against it? ”

Without waiting for Qi Tongwen to ask, Yang Wei immediately continued: "But how can you prevent it? There is no other way but one way: rely on the scholars! The scholar was taught by the sage, knew how to serve the country, knew the etiquette, was loyal to the king, and Gu Sheji was a good teacher and friend of the king. Since ancient times, I have only heard of the chaos of the warriors, but how can I ever hear of the chaos of the scholars? Ruling the world with scholars is the right way. But it's not enough, and you should be in charge of the soldiers. Collect the military power of the world, all belong to the hands of the scholars, and the scholars will hold the murder weapon for the king, so that the king will not have to worry about it, and the warriors will not be chaotic, so that the world can be governed! ”

Qi Tongwen was speechless, and sighed at the end: "Mr.'s words are of course high-minded. But I don't think so.

In his opinion, those who disturb the world are martial artists, but those who are peaceful in the world also need martial artists. It is true that An Shi and Zhu Wen caused chaos in this dynasty, but Guo Ziyi, who turned the tide, is not also a martial artist? Now that Jiangbei has been set, the majesty and the crown prince who have the image of Zhongxing in this dynasty are not also martial artists?

Qi Tongwen felt that what Yang Wei said was reasonable, but the same problem was also very big and one-sided. But how to put an end to the problem of the martial arts chaos mentioned by Yang Wei, Qi Tongwen couldn't think of a reason for a while.

However, in any case, it is always a fact that the world's etiquette is broken and people's hearts are not ancient. Since Tiancheng, this dynasty has used scholars to govern the country, and has always reaped many results.

Qi Tongwen has even heard that the Hundred Battles Army has a tradition of teaching the words of Confucius and Mencius in the generals, and it is also a fact that the Hundred Battles Army has strict military discipline and often wins a hundred battles.

After Li Congjing arrived, he walked straight to the low platform, ordered the removal of three small cases, leaving only one in the center, facing the entire auditorium, Shi Ran sat down, and then let the debate begin.

Since there is a conflict between the Confucian scholars of the academy and the hundred scholars, the root cause of the conflict is because the Confucian scholars look down on the hundred scholars, and this conflict naturally has to be resolved, and the solution is to debate and discuss the so-called "truth".

- Li Congjing believes that there are not so many truths in the world, and even if there are, there are not many immutable truths. The purpose of his coming here is to take the opportunity to show the world the Tang Dynasty's attitude towards governing the country and learning, to explain the way the imperial court chooses and trade-offs for scholars, and to designate the direction for scholars all over the world.

Nowadays, the military and political affairs of the imperial court have basically been decided, since the dynasty arrogant soldiers, feudal towns, chaotic officials, and the people's livelihood, all kinds of maladministration, and the king is fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the central government has gathered the authority of the state and county, the country is the great determination, and the Tang warship is just dominating the world, purging the frontier, and setting sail on the open sea, the way of governing the country and governing the school is the last major event at present.

- In a way, it is also the most important thing. It is related to the three views of every Tang person, and it is related to the thoughts and aspirations of every Tang person, and it is what guides their direction and goals, and Li Congjing is waiting to solve it.

Yang Wei was a representative of Confucian scholars, and after discussing what he had said to Qi Tongwen to the thousands of people in the auditorium, he further deepened: "The duty of the Son of Heaven is nothing greater than that of the etiquette. Nothing is greater than a point, and a score is greater than a name. Etiquette, discipline is also; The divider, the monarch and the minister are also; The name is also the public, the waiting, the secretary, and the doctor. Why is there chaos in the world? It's all because of the collapse of etiquette! The etiquette is broken, the discipline is broken, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the prince and the princess want to commit the following crimes, ask the weight of the nine tripods, so the warriors are in charge of heavy troops and hold authority, so the world will be full of feudal towns and endless conquests. ”

In a word, the root cause of the world's rule and chaos lies in the ceremony. The great rule of the world is because of the great prosperity of etiquette, and the great chaos in the world is because of the waste of etiquette. If the imperial court wants to reproduce the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty, it must reshape etiquette and promote Confucianism. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 'deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone', there is no doubt that Confucianism is the orthodoxy of governing the country. That's all the ministers say, and I also ask the prince to learn clearly. ”

After Yang Yu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing was noncommittal, and he didn't even make a statement.

But this did not prevent the full hall of Confucian scholars from applauding loudly. After listening to Yang Wei's remarks, they all felt like a saint mentioning his face, and at this time, they were all blushing with excitement, and the discussions of "sacrificing wine and high theory" and "sacrificing wine and seeing clearly" were endless.

"I don't dare to agree with the words of sacrificial wine."

At this time, an abrupt voice sounded. Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see an old body standing up.

Dr. Wang Buqi.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised. The two masters of the college, Yang Wei and Wang Buqi, are the most respected people. It's just that the two have a very close personal relationship on weekdays, but at this time they are actually opposed?

Wang Buqi stood upright, although he was old, but he was an old pine and cypress, with upright roots and bones, he looked at Yang Wei and asked: "If there is chaos today, the four seas are uneven, dare to ask about the sacrificial wine, how can the world be peaceful again?" ”

Yang Wei is a Confucian master, and the answer to this question is naturally handy, "The world is set by one person, and it is natural to be peaceful." ”

"Who is it?" Wang Buqi asked.

Yang Wei smiled, "Those who value courtesy, those who are benevolent and righteous, and those who are not good at killing." ”

When he said this, the Confucian scholars applauded in unison.

Wang Buqi did not move, "If you don't kill, there will be no war, the princes of Jiangnan, who wants to be killed by the neck and offer the people of the city with their hands?" ”

Yang Wei said: "In the land of long-term drought, we will hope for nectar, and the people who have been in chaos for a long time will hope for peace." If the four borders of Datang are stable, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people of Jiangnan are strong, who will not compete to join Datang? Thousands of cities, dare not to offer it with both hands? ”

This scene is indeed very fascinating, thinking about it makes people enthusiastic and can't be themselves, Confucian scholars listened, all of them were enthusiastic, and praised more than once.

And Li Congjing heard this, and finally understood why when Jianghuai was still in the war, there were officials in the imperial court who advised the imperial court to stop fighting - although that person was thrown to the front line of Jianghuai by Li Congjing - but not everyone can go to the front line, and for Confucian scholars, they are still immersed in their dreams.

Wang Buqi looked at Yang Wei, "In the past, Meng Zhixiang and Li Shaobin, as ministers of the Tang Dynasty, let alone according to Liangchuan and did not obey the orders of the imperial court, at that time, how were the people of Liangchuan?" How are state and county governors? Huainan Yang Pu proclaimed himself emperor, didn't he destroy etiquette? And the king's conquest of Jianghuai, how can he have a 100,000-strong army and repeatedly resist the king's division? ”

The old god Yang Yu is here, "It is no wonder that the people of Liangchuan and Huainan do not compete to the imperial court, because the imperial court etiquette is not prosperous, and it is not enough to make the world worship." If the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, wherever the king goes, the people will inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king. Because of this, Datang wants to reshape etiquette! ”

Wang Buqi asked again: "In the past, the Khitan Kou was cloudy, and the party was disturbing the northwest, how can the Tang Dynasty pacify this chaos now?" ”

Yang Wei said: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, such a barbarian person, not educated, just cast the Great Wall, and refuse it!" ”

Wang Buqi asked, "Who built the Great Wall?" A scholar who was taught by the sages? ”

Yang Wei said: "Shi farmers and industry and commerce, each has its own distinction, the scholar rules the world, and the matter of building the city is naturally done by the peddlers and pawns." ”

Wang Buqi asked again: "Sacrificial wine with silk and food grains, but where do the silk and grains come from?" ”

Yang Wei said: "The scholars educate the people with the royal way, so that they know the etiquette, and different from the beasts, how should the people not support the scholars?" ”

Wang Buqi was silent.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing. The laughter was loud and could be heard outside the auditorium. The laughter was desolate and mournful, but it was unbearable for anyone in the auditorium to hear it.

Yang Wei frowned, "Why is the doctor laughing?" ”

Wang Buqi looked at Yang Wei coldly, "Such nonsense can be said by sacrificial wine, how can you not laugh?" It's ridiculous, everyone in the world says that Confucianism is hypocritical, in the eyes of Confucian scholars, everyone is a villain, a gentleman, a lowly artist, a self-respecting man, a bad way to learn, and only I am authentic! Mozi also loves, punishes evil and promotes good, and Confucianism scolds and despicable; Yang Zhu Yanli made the people rich, and Confucianism disdained it; Lao Zhuang is detached, harmless to the people, and Confucianism is regarded as a timid escape; Soldiers, peasants, doctors and workers, the foundation of all industries, Confucianism is regarded as a trivial study! ”

"Wang Shi is fighting on the battlefield on the front line, you don't know the way of conquest, and openly point fingers, the other one bleeds more than once, and you are endless, arrogant and conceited to such a point, and dare to speak out to govern the country? The foreign thief Koubian, killing my comrades, you have no power to restrain the chicken, just a sigh; The thieves overthrew the capital and plundered the prefectures and counties, and they were helpless, so they could only persuade the king to avoid trouble, lest they would not be able to run too late; The princes have divided the world, the smoke of Kyushu has not stopped, the people have been displaced, and you have never saved a single person in a city, what etiquette is you talking about here, what kind of etiquette is there to talk about the world to belong to, how different is it from daydreaming? ! ”

"Now that the country has established colleges, hundreds of schools of learning, soldiers, farmers, industrialists, and traders, pawns, and there are no classes to teach, the ambition of the Tang Dynasty, and the painstaking work of the king, how can you ever understand half a point? On weekdays, I don't think about teaching knowledge to good students, but I actually despise hundreds of students! Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and levels the world, and the king is under An Lishu, what a heroic word, but with the short-sightedness and size of the mind, don't talk about the world, even the classmates and students next to you can't tolerate it, what kind of meritorious service and virtue can you talk about? ! Open your mouth and close your mouth to be polite, foreign thieves kill comrades, you say courtesy, thieves disturb the people, you say courtesy, when you fight for power and profit, you still say courtesy, when you exclude dissidents, you still say courtesy, brazen to such a point, it is really ridiculous! ”

After Wang Buqi finished speaking, there was silence in the auditorium, the needle drop could be heard, and the sound of heavy breathing was even more clear in his ears.

The Confucian scholars were furious, but they were dumbfounded.

The hundreds of scholars were very happy, but they were infected by Wang Buqi, and they all felt sad.

The scholars who ran north and south of the Yangtze River, such as Cha Wenhui, Chen Tao, Shi Xubai, etc., were shocked.

Wang Buqi finally saluted Li Congjing, "Hundreds of schools of learning, there is a way to choose between them, the world's scholars, the good and the bad are uneven, and please consider the prince!" ”

Yang Wei's face was as white as paper, sweat was like rain, he faced Li Congjing, bowed down with a puff, and shouted in grief: "Such groundless words are really incomprehensible, and the ministers dare not agree!" For thousands of years, famous ministers are like carp crossing the river, which one is not my Confucian scholar? The king governs the country with courtesy and benevolence, and the world can prosper! ”

He said that he couldn't help it, so he came to hug the thighs of Li Congjing, the big backer.

In Yang Wei's mind, Li Congjing will definitely be on his side.

The king's thoughts, Yang Wei and the countless Confucian scholars behind him, can see clearly.

How did Li Siyuan become an emperor? He was just a courtier before, a general who led the army, and once he "put on a dragon robe" for the soldiers, he counterattacked Luoyang and achieved a great cause.

In this case, isn't Li Siyuan worried about other generals following his example? Is he worried that his family's country will suddenly overturn? There's no reason why he shouldn't worry! He's definitely going to be worried!

What to do? There is only one way - to remove the generals! At the same time, support and reuse another force to resist and suppress the martial arts!

This force is ready-made.

So the Confucian scholars took the opportunity to rise.

Yang Wei: Don't they know that the soldiers are fighting the battlefield, shedding blood and sacrificing? They don't know that if they put forward a strategy to suppress the warriors at this time, they will be spurned by many people? They're not stupid, of course they do.

But they don't care.

Why don't you care?

Because the king will support them!

On the point of suppressing the warriors, the position of the king and the scholar was the same.

Even the starting point is the same. The king is to consolidate his throne and prevent the warriors from having the opportunity to rebel against the country, and the scholars are to consolidate their own status, so that the warriors will no longer be ridden by the warriors!

The era of feudal towns was a nightmare for scholars and a nightmare for kings.

And the Confucian etiquette and Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch put on a perfect disguise for this matter.

So the king and the Confucian scholars would hit it off.

With the development of Confucianism to this day, it has long since abandoned the idea that "the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light", and has become a slave of the king to rule the country, and it is natural that it will continue to develop and intensify.

Only the ideas that are suitable for the king to stabilize his own rule are the ideas that the king needs.

Confucianism did it in the early Han Dynasty, and it will be even more in the future.

Confucianism had to adapt to this need of the king, and that was an irreversible trend of history. As for what Confucianism will become in the future, they don't know, and as for whether Confucianism will end up unrecognizable and very different from Confucius's ideas, they don't care!

The idea of governing the country that is not needed by the king has no value and is doomed to perish! Confucianism is gone, where are the Confucian scholars?

Therefore, no matter what kind of development Confucianism develops, the king is the helmsman and the initiator, and the Confucian scholar is the executioner.

But so what, who cares?

How could the Confucian scholars know that outside the Celestial Empire, far away from Wanli, there would be a small country that would rise up strongly after a thousand years and invade our territory?

Even if you do, so what? Only those who can be used are qualified to consider the state of the country.

So Yang Wei was very sure that Li Congjing would be on his side.

Moreover, since the king has used Confucianism, he will naturally return the favor, and the hundred schools of thought will naturally not be taken seriously, and the soldiers, peasants, doctors, and merchants will certainly not be abandoned, but they will never be valued, and neither the king nor Confucianism will let them have the opportunity to threaten the dominance of Confucianism!

Therefore, Baigong will never have a status.

Therefore, no matter how developed the commodity economy is, the businessmen will never be able to take power and enter the ruling class, and they will never have the right to speak!

Confucianism's suppression of hundreds of schools of thought and hundreds of workers is not because of contempt, but because of the conflict of interests!

Monarch, Confucian.

The piano and the serene are compatible.

In cahoots.

Enjoy this country together.

100 years, 1,000 years, 2,000 years.

Until the splendid mountains and rivers wither.

Until the king found that Confucianism was really bad and could not help him rule the country.

As a result, the imperial examination system was abolished.

Li Congjing glanced at Yang Wei, who was bowing down in the hall, and stood up from behind the small case.

In the auditorium, countless Confucian scholars all bowed down, and those who couldn't bow down all bowed down and shouted in unison: "Please make the prince the master for us!" ”

The scholars of hundreds of schools and hundreds of workers also performed the salute, nervously waiting for the prince's sentence.

Li Congjing faced the Great Tang Shilin with a calm gaze, and when he spoke, he was not slow for half a minute, and his tone was resolute and unquestionable, "This palace decree: immediately remove Yang Yu Academy from the position of sacrificial wine!" ”

When the words fell, thunder thundered on the ground.

Shilin shook, the country shook!
