Chapter 157: Tongue War

Zhang Di's response was reasonable, and people couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard it.

Ye Yu sneered: "What a suitable one for the moment!" Then let me ask you, since the founding of the country, whether it is the official system or the military system, it has been changed and simplified several times, may I ask Zhang Yushi, is the national policy set by Taizu wrong? ”

Hiss!

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, thinking that Ye Yu's hand was ruthless enough.

Zhang Di only used Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Taizu period, as an example, but you stabbed it to the end and directly used Taizu's national policy as a counterattack.

No matter how capable Zhang Di is, he can question everyone, but he doesn't dare to question the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so he said in a panic with sweat on his forehead: "The national policy established by Taizu is naturally right!" ”

"If that's right, why have they been changed and simplified? Xia Guan remembered that during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the official system changed; During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the imperial examination system was also reformed; During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the official system was also simplified......"

When Ye Yu said this, he paused for a moment to face Zhao Yan, bowed and said: "Today's Majesty has also recently changed the military system, may I ask Lord Zhang, what Zhenzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, and even His Majesty Xià have done is wrong?" ”

"In this ......, the first emperor and His Majesty are both the lords of the Holy Ming, and what they do will not be wrong......"

"Okay, Master Zhang said it well, Taizu was not wrong to set up the national policy back then, and there was nothing wrong with the restructuring of several previous emperors and His Majesty. Then may I ask Lord Zhang, since everything is correct, but the official system, the military system, and even the imperial examination system have really changed, isn't this a contradiction? ”

"Uh......"

At this moment, Zhang Di realized that he was rounded into a dead end by Ye Yu, and now he can't explain anything he says.

The ministers who were opposed to the main hall all looked at each other at this time, not knowing what to say. However, there was a thought in everyone's hearts, that is, this Ye Yu was not easy to mess with.

Having said this, Ye Yu didn't continue to ask, forcing Zhang Di to this point, just waiting for Zhang Di to speak in person.

So Ye Yu was silent and looked at Zhang Di quietly.

Kong Dexian saw that Zhang Di had not responded, so he stood up and explained: "Lord Ye, this seems to have nothing to do with discussing the establishment of a college......

"Master Kong's words are wrong, just Zhang Yushi is based on Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Taizu period, 'half of the treatise rules the world', why can't I respond with Taizu's policy of establishing the country?"

"The national policy is determined by people, even if Emperor Taizu is wise and wise, after all, his energy is limited, and it is only natural that he has been passed down by several holy monarchs and tends to be perfected due to the needs of current affairs!"

"It's a good thing, since the emperors of all dynasties are wise and wise, and they all have limited energy, then ask the Sage Kong in the Spring and Autumn Period, have you ever thought about the changes in the world in the future?"

"But ......"

"But what? Could it be that Confucius has become a transcendent saint and can know thousands of years in advance and thousands of years later? If this is the case, then Ye Mou asks, he is so able to pinch and calculate, why was he turned away from traveling to various countries, and it took more than ten years of exile to explore the world? ”

"You ......"

"Ye Yu, you are so bold, you actually insulted Kong Sheng!"

"It's too arrogant!"

Ye Yu's ridiculous remarks immediately attracted the anger of all Confucian ministers.

By this time, Ye Yu had forgotten about the establishment of the academy, and had completely fallen into contact with the Confucian ministers in the court.

Even if the establishment of the academy did not come to fruition today, he would have to separate himself from these pretentious ministers!

At this moment, the establishment of the academy is no longer the focus, but the debate on the questioning and defense of Confucius.

As the presiding officer of the court meeting, Zhao Yan did not say anything to stop him, let these ministers argue, and looked lively on the dragon chair.

Because Zhao Yan knew that this debate would happen sooner or later, even when he listened to the physical chemistry that Ye Yu said, he was confused and inexplicable, not to mention these Confucians who only knew how to chew words.

Looking at the ministers in front of him pointing and pointing, spitting stars flying sideways, Ye Yu was extremely calm, and said in his heart that this is not a lot of people, but it is a truth!

After these ministers calmed down a little, Ye Yu calmed down and said: "Master Kong, it doesn't matter if there are many people, the truth is here!" ”

"You! ……”

Kong Dexian only remembered one thing at this moment, that is, when the Song and Jin countries faced off that day, Nalan Rongshu was speechless in a few words, and finally retreated in a gloomy manner.

Today, he can be regarded as trying Ye Yu's eloquence, this series of questions and analyses is like weaving a big net, slowly waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Dexian naturally wanted to defend it, so he responded in a deep voice: "The ancestors were of noble character, teaching and educating people, and they were called saints by the world, so they were naturally mortals!" ”

"Mortal? Since he is a mortal, how can he know that for thousands of years in the future, non-Confucianism cannot rule the world? If you are mortal, you are not a perfect person, and how can you be as flawless as you praise with your mouth? ”

Kong Dexian's eyes were red, and he retorted: "But the ancestor is a saint!" ”

"Saints? Can a saint be wise and wise to the Son of Heaven? ”

"Uh, this ......"

“……”

Ye Yu raised the emperor's shield again, making all these people's counterattacks come to naught.

Yes, no matter how much you admire Confucius, you are just an educator and a down-and-out courtier, can you compare with an emperor of honorable status?

Although these courtiers were deeply influenced by Confucianism, they had been officials in the court for so many years, and Yu Lu was given by the emperor, not a Confucian saint who had died for a thousand years.

In the face of the emperor who has food and clothing, and controls the honor and disgrace of his life, do you dare to say that the emperor is not as good as Confucius?

Obviously, in the face of life and death, honor and disgrace, the so-called obsession is just a glass lamp, which will shatter when it lands!

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Ye Yu immediately snorted coldly: "As you just said, there were many omissions in Taizu's national policy back then, since Confucius's wisdom and wisdom are not as good as the Son of Heaven, why can't Confucius's thoughts and remarks be wrong?" ”

"It has been said that knowledge is in the object, and the object is then known to the ...... This is a discipline that specializes in the study of the "Principle of Things" as noted in the Confucian classics, which is not only a philosophical theory, but also a recognition of Confucian scholarship for the study of things! ”

"The physical chemistry mentioned by this official, and even the current arithmetic technique, can also be classified as Gewu! You keep saying that you are talking about kitsch and lewd skills, could it be that the seventy-two disciples of Confucius are all studying literature for their careers? ”

"Among them, there is Duanmu Ci, who is proficient in economics and good at business, isn't he a Confucian disciple? This official is also a person who reads poetry and books, but because he is a businessman, he was demoted to Anfeng Zhi County, this is the Confucian idea of excluding dissidents? ”

Ye Yu was extremely indignant when he said this, glanced at Yu Yunwen and Zhang Shuo, who were silent, and then continued: "It has been said that all ordinary people who have to adapt to the conditions of the time, and even those who can't understand the text and ink, know when to plant what grains, and give full play to the conditions of the time.

Why are you waiting for these Confucianists in the DPRK to be so complacent? Are you unwilling to give advice for governing the country, or are you stupid to read the sages all these years? ”

Ye Yu was gushing endlessly in the main hall, and every counterattack was a quote from the scriptures, leaving these self-righteous Confucians with nothing to say.

After some ridicule and humiliation, everyone present said that their faces were red-faced, and although there were flames in their eyes, they didn't know how to refute Ye Yu's argument after all.

The eloquence was followed by a brief period of silence.

At this time, Zeng Di took the opportunity to walk out and admonished Zhao Yan, who was watching a good show on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, what Ye Shilang said is not unreasonable, the so-called sea is tolerant, this is the truth......"

Yo ho!

Zeng Di's appearance, as well as his words to help Ye Yu, surprised everyone present. And the most unexpected is Ye Yu.

He really couldn't figure out why Zeng Di, who couldn't be beaten by eight poles, came forward to help him.

Is Zeng Di still unaware of his marriage, or is there another conspiracy?

No matter what Ye Yu thought in his heart, Zeng Di's move undoubtedly helped him at the same time, but also brought him a lot of hatred!

Although Ye Yu has always remained neutral, Zeng Di's appearance, in the eyes of Yu Yunwen and others, is a signal, a signal that he Ye Yu is returning to the Zhang faction.

Although Ye Yu understood this, he was helpless in this situation, so he took over the topic.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that the prosperity of the country, if it is only based on a few volumes of sage speeches, or even holding on to the golden rules, is it not a long-term plan? Just as the imperial court should have an army, could it be that the enemy outside the territory did not use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but dictated the way of Confucianism to the enemy? ”

"Just like the official system of my imperial court, hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China perform their duties, the military has a Privy Council, and the rest is divided into three divisions and six parts of the three provinces. The same is true of academics, each should have its own strengths, regardless of dignity and inferiority.

If you only learn Confucianism, then what else does the Ministry of Industry do? Directly let a group of literati and Confucians, holding sage scrolls, repair canals, pave roads, build embankments and build houses! ”

"Yellow-mouthed erector, you! …… You! ……”

"陛xià! ……”

Looking at the group of Confucian ministers with sauce-faced faces behind Ye Yu, Zhao Yan knew that it was time for him to clean up the mess.

However, Ye Yu's last sentence amused Zhao Yan, and asked a group of powerless Confucians to go to the Ministry of Industry, isn't this nonsense. Without these technicians from the Ministry of Engineering, no project can be completed.

Then he nodded and said: "What Ye Shilang said is not unreasonable, the so-called art industry has a specialization, and the six departments have different positions, that is, the so-called people make the best use of their talents and have different division of labor!" ”

"However, Ye Shilang's words are also too paranoid, Sage Kong is the master of all ages, you are also a member of the imperial examination, you are a disciple of Sage Confucius, how can you be so rude? You really shouldn't be at that! ”

Zhao Yan's Tai Chi played exquisitely, which not only affirmed that Ye Yu's remarks were justified and well-founded, but also gave these Confucian ministers a step down.

It can be said that both sides play fifty boards, but everyone can see that Xiaozong Zhao Yan's attitude is biased in favor of Ye Yu.
