"Take this dog meat down to me!" Li Shimin said.

Soon a group of court servants came to remove the dog meat, and everyone was obviously not in the mood to continue eating the dog meat. However, everyone present still felt quite dissatisfied with that Du Yan, because this guy came with such a sentence "Dog eats. ", so that everyone is in no mood to eat dog meat. So this time the dog meat said that you can't continue to eat anything, and maybe even everyone will feel disgusted when they eat dog meat in the future.

Of course, everyone is still biased towards Shi Bufan and Du Yan in their hearts. Because Du Yan's personnel are so poor, even his nephew hates him, and the popularity of this kind of person can be imagined. In addition, he lacks discipline, so he has no popularity. Sometimes it's so strange, it's obvious that Shi Bufan deliberately provoked the contradiction with Du Yan, but everyone's prejudice against Du Yan is far more than the prejudice against Shi Bufan, so they obviously hate Du Yan even more.

However, then, Li Shimin suddenly spoke, and said unhappily: "Shi Bufan, don't think that today's things are over well." You deliberately asked Du Yan to say that the upper vertical is a dog, but what do you mean by saying that the upper vertical is a wolf? Du Yan has fallen into your trap, but if you are a 'Shangshu is a wolf', you can also explain to me clearly, what is going on? Otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of contempt for your superiors. ”

Only then did everyone remember that just now Shi Bufan deliberately let this Du Yan say "Shangzhu is a dog", but he deliberately said "Shangzhu is a wolf", which is actually saying that your Shangshu is a wolf. This wolf dog wolf dog is actually not a good word. And the wolf is not a word with a good reputation in ancient times, this word of wolf heart and dog lungs, embarrassment or something, is to describe the viciousness of wolves. What a white-eyed wolf, what a variety of derogatory terms to describe a wolf, there are countless words. Therefore, although Du Yan fell into the trap of Shi Bufan, he made a "dog on the top", but Shi Bufan's "on the top is a wolf" is not a good word.

However, Shi Bufan had already prepared and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister is a wolf, and he is praising Du Ruxuan's book!" ”

"Poof-" Du Ruhui spit out the wine on the spot, this scolding himself for being a wolf has become a compliment?

Before everyone spoke, Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, Du Ruhui Shangshu has two departments, namely the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the military department. The Ministry of Officials manages civilian personnel, and the Ministry of War manages the army and military attachés. However, these two positions have one thing in common, that is, they are mostly in charge of people. How to manage people, the minister has some opinions. The minister thinks that as an official of the imperial court and as the army of my Tang Dynasty, he should be like a wolf! ”

"What? Like a wolf? "Everyone doesn't understand, why do you want everyone to learn "wolf"?

Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Actually, everyone thinks that the wolf is a wolf's heart and lungs, or something vicious, not a good thing. But everyone just saw his side, like everything has to be seen in two. The wolf has his shortcomings, but he also has his strengths. There is a popular saying among the people, called the tiger is hard to defeat the wolf. The meaning of this sentence is that even the king of the forest, the tiger, can hardly resist the siege of the wolves. ”

"People may worship tigers, but tigers are loners and generally don't cooperate. But wolves are different, wolves are not good at fighting alone, and it is difficult to survive in the forest. He can't beat a tiger, he can't beat a lion, or even some strong boar. However, he learned to unite, and together they besieged their prey with hungry wolves, and finally bit it to death. The wolves are very united, they will not leave the team easily, and they will not easily betray their own group. And under the order of the wolf king, you can rush up and besiege the enemy. Even, they still have tactics, and wolves are the most tactical of all animals. Even, in the grassland, the earliest art of war was actually learned from wolves. Why are the ancestral legends of many steppe peoples related to wolves? I think it's mostly wolf unity, there are tactics, they learn the way to survive from wolves, they learn to unite together to face disasters together, so they can survive in the grassland. ”

"Although the nomads are like this, why are we Han people not like this? Our human beings are not the most powerful in this world, maybe most of us can't defeat tigers, nor can we defeat all kinds of fierce beasts, and even many fierce beasts can easily destroy us. But why we human beings can become the most important beings in this world, in addition to our wisdom, the most important thing is our unity. We have learned the division of labor, we have learned all kinds of tactics, so that we can maintain the security of our collective, which is what we are today. ”

"The wolf is actually the most similar and united of us. As long as we learn the same style as wolves, let me unite Datang, and all the officials of Datang can unite and serve my Datang. And I love that the army of Datang can unite and cooperate well on the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of ten of us is brought into play by twenty people. This way we can defeat stronger enemies and not be defeated by going it alone. ”

Shi Bufan then introduced a lot of characteristics about wolves, these things are actually understood by many people in later generations, and many armies will also explain the spirit of wolves. Even some instructors will say this during military training, so that Shi Bufan also understands. Many people don't know that even in ancient times, wolves were regarded as the embodiment of evil, but their advantages were deliberately ignored. This is also the result of ancient Chinese people who were often prone to extremes and were prone to waste things because of others.

Because of a certain shortcoming, his advantages are negated, which is a situation that many people have. In ancient times, people regarded wolves as a derogatory term, so they naturally could not see the advantages of wolves. Now Shi Bufan has finally explained to everyone the advantages of these wolves, which is worth learning for everyone.

At that time, Bufan said the advantages of these wolves, and even Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Because of the advantages of this wolf, Li Shimin didn't know it, and even few people in ancient times knew about it. But after Shi Bufan's explanation, it seems that there are really some doorways.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Du Shangshu, as the Shangshu in charge of the civil and military departments, is responsible for the selection of officials, which should be to select those who are united, loyal to the court, and loyal to the emperor, the 'wolf king'. Only in this way can we be united and loyal, have strategies and tactics, and know how to divide labor and cooperate, so that our Datang can operate perfectly, instead of having their own thoughts. Only in this way can we make my Datang more rich and powerful, and then dominate the world! Shi Bufan said.

"Well, I never imagined that the wolf we had always hated would have such merits. It's good, it's good, it's really good. This wolf, unity, bravery, wisdom and bravery, loyalty and fearlessness, this is the quality that my Datang civil and military officials should have. This wolf, it seems, is not useless, but also by his merits! Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin said so, and everyone quickly agreed, anyway, it's okay to talk about this kind of. Anyway, what Shi Bufan said, everyone didn't have the heart to verify it, and as for them, they all believed what Shi Bufan said, there was no need for Shi Bufan to deceive everyone in this regard. However, although everyone knows that this wolf is united and loyal, humans can't do it. The biggest advantage of humans over wolves is that they are smart, but the biggest disadvantage is also intelligence.

The unity of wolves is actually based on the fact that they do not need much, and the unity of wolves is based on the fact that wolves are just to survive, so they do not have many desires, they are all for survival, and naturally there will be nothing.

But human beings are different, human beings are too smart, human beings are so smart that the world has to obey him to a certain extent. Human beings have transformed the living environment so that food and materials can be better produced, and finally there is surplus value, and then classes naturally arise. In the end, the contradictions between the classes were aggravated by the changes in the productive forces, and so on, and even the state apparatus was created as a result.

Humans are too smart, so they need much more than just survival. Some people say that cheesy is power, money, and beauty for all kinds of desires. However, what is good and noble is also the opportunity to practice ideals, so no matter what, human beings will have infighting. Because humans are so smart, they need far more than wolves.

So it is impossible for humans to be completely united like wolves, and everyone knows this. However, Li Shimin only admires it, but in fact, human beings can never achieve unity like wolves.

"Your Majesty, so the minister praised Du Shangshu as a wolf, which was praising Du Shangshu. I hope that Du Shangshu can elect more wolves to serve my Datang, and work hard for my Datang to unite and dominate the world together! Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin finally said helplessly: "As far as you say, it seems that no one in this world can say anything about you!" ”

Li Shimin knows very well that this is Shi Bufan quibbling and justifying his behavior just now. But what else can Li Shimin say, this is just an excuse, as long as Shi Bufan can give a relatively reasonable and relatively capable excuse for the past, can Li Shimin still punish him in this way?

But now Shi Bufan not only gave a suitable excuse, but was also so good, so there was no reason for Li Shimin to want to punish him. And Du Ruhui can only suffer such a dumb loss, and when Shi Bufan said that he was a wolf, he had to thank and praise him with a smile. This one feels like a punch has hit the cotton, and there is no point of strength.

However, if you don't have this argument, you can also write an article. When the time comes, let people know that the wolf is not the kind of fierce and cunning, in fact, it is also due to his good side. In this way, a wolf can be written, so that they can see how united and loyal this wolf is, and can move forward bravely under the command of the wolf king, and will not easily betray the group! And how about this essay be named "Wolf Says"? Li Shimin said.

Shi Bufan complained in his heart: "Hey, Han Yu's "Ma Said" has not come out, but my "Wolf Said" is about to come out?" ”

Shi Bufan knows what Li Shimin wants to do, in fact, it is nothing more than promoting loyalty! This loyalty is actually to make everyone loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty and the emperor. This wolf is loyal, and that loyal is the "wolf king". And who is the "wolf king" of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? If this is the case, wouldn't it be easy to contact the Tang Emperor, which is to tell the people to be loyal to the Tang Emperor and not betray the Tang Dynasty.

Ancient emperors demanded loyalty, and this loyalty was not loyalty to the state, but loyalty to the royal family. In ancient times, the family and the country in the world were the first family and then the country, but the last was the world, and the future generations were just in the same idea. Hereafter comes first the world, then the country, and finally the family.

Therefore, the ancient emperors pursued the absolute loyalty of the courtiers and the people to the emperor, not to the country. Therefore, Shi Bufan thinks that for some people to propagate those ideas that the country is greater than the family in ancient times, it is simply looking for death.

"Your Majesty, in that case, how about the minister write in the vernacular?" Shi Bufan asked.

Of course, Shi Bufan doesn't write too many ancient texts, so it's okay for him to write a little, but if he creates too many ancient texts by himself, then I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it. A person in the era of vernacular literature is more familiar with vernacular Chinese, so he is naturally reluctant to write those laborious ancient texts. It was okay to let him translate ancient texts, but he had a hard time asking him to write ancient texts. It's better to write it in the vernacular, which can save a lot of trouble. If it is a vernacular article, Shi Bufan can write a lot of it, almost effortlessly.

"Vernacular? What do you mean? Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan explained: "Vernacular, that is, what we say is what we say. Unlike books, the language is often condensed to save paper or bamboo slips. Vernacular means that you can write whatever you want, and you don't have to condense it. This is conducive to the learning of culture by the people. ”

When those scholars heard this, they almost wanted to oppose it, once the difficulty of the people learning culture was reduced, then where would there be an opportunity for their scholars to monopolize culture. Originally, Shi Bufan's library system and Hanyu Pinyin had already put them under great pressure. If they are making such a vernacular text, then they still need to mix it up?

"Your Majesty, no!" Immediately someone came out against it.

The first person to oppose this was none other than Shi Bufan's top boss Chu Suiliang. This guy has always looked at Shi Bufan and is not happy, plus after being knocked by Shi Bufan last time, he didn't give Shi Bufan a good look this time. At present, Shi Bufan once again proposed to use the vernacular, isn't this digging the foundation of the scholar clan again, so how can they tolerate him? So this Chu Suiliang hurriedly came out to oppose it, don't let this vernacular text be popularized, this is the biggest trouble. (To be continued.) )
