Feng Chengping's face was uncertain, afraid that Lu Chengqi would see it, so he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He used to be a tea alcohol pass, and after tasting it, he found that there was something wrong with the taste on the tip of his tongue: "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with this tea......"

After saying this, Feng Chengping regretted it a little. There are more than 40 kinds of tribute tea, and he has drunk most of them, even if he has not drunk them, he knows about what it tastes like. But this tea is obviously different, the entrance is sweet, the fragrance is refreshing, and the tribute tea can be so fragrant? I can't help but ask.

Lu Chengqi flipped through a bunch of folds and said without raising his head: "Isn't it? What's wrong? Oh, yes, I changed to a new tea a few days ago, not a tribute tea, but a new blood tea from Dongting, I don't think the name is good, it should be called 'Biluochun'......"

"Biluochun?" Feng Chengping had a bottom in his heart, and took another sip, which really quenched his thirst and returned sweet, which was very fragrant.

At this time, Lu Chengqi straightened up and said, "I finally found ......"

Being able to find this letter in a pile of folds can be regarded as Lu Chengqi's good memory. In fact, Feng Chengping had already prepared, if the little emperor couldn't find it, he still had a backup. Even if the little emperor didn't choose the topic, he would always be able to determine it by knocking on the side. It is only a month before the autumn day, and it is still a bit rushed to print tens of thousands of test questions. Now the printing workshops on the outskirts of Chang'an have long been full, and if you don't advance a little earlier, I'm afraid you won't be able to start the exam on time. Feng Chengping was afraid of messing up his job, so he was so concerned.

I saw Lu Chengqi spread out the excerpts that had already been instructed, glanced at them, and said: "I have already chosen the topic, but I am so busy with political affairs that I forgot to send it to the Ministry of Rites." That's it, Feng Qing, you can write it down. I am a scientific examination, only testing the scriptures, theories, and strategies. According to me, when the question of scripture and righteousness is selected, it is 'dangling, and the people are incompetent; Towering, it has success, and it has an article, 'This topic is good, I want to see how many flatterers. The second is that 'the sage respects it, fears and loves it, loves and knows its evil, hates it and knows its goodness, accumulates and can disperse, can move in peace, does not have to get wealth, does not avoid difficulties, does not need to win, does not ask for more, doubts do not have quality, and do not have', this sentence should not be difficult to find, right? ”

Feng Chengping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's question, which is known to everyone in the world, one is from the "Analects of Taber", and the other is from the "Book of Rites", presumably everyone should know it. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "It's good to know, but the more common the topic, the more you can see the thoughts of the lifters." ”

Feng Chengping said: "No, if it's so simple, if you want to stand out, you have to be different." However, he also knows that Jingyi is just a small Tao's ear, since the Yuan Shou period, Dashun's imperial examination is no longer based on poetry, but on the scriptures, strategies, and theories. Among them, Jingyi is the foundation, and the proportion is very low. Therefore, many people who die of reading often remember Jingyi very well, but they have no achievements in strategy and theory, and they are ruthlessly dethroned and become "not the first talent". However, some scriptures and meanings can only be said to be decent, but they shine in policies and theories, and they are often able to enter the jinshi. This is also a manifestation of the progress of the Dashun Imperial Examination, which no longer emphasizes illusory poetry and scriptures, but emphasizes more practical strategies and theories.

Lu Chengqi nodded and said: "Jingyi is only the foundation of the examiners, and the strategy and discussion are what I value." I watched Feng Qing's recitals all over the time, and the questions from the courtiers of the Ministry of Rites did not conform to my meaning. I didn't intend to use the above questions, but started a new question. ”

Little emperors often have amazing behaviors, which is not a strange thing. Feng Chengping was also a little mentally prepared, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what Your Majesty has in mind?" ”

"The Tao is based on the theory of political morality."

Lu Chengqi's words are not shocking and endless, this title was originally from the "Analects": "Zi said: 'The Tao is governed by government, and the people are exempt and shameless.'" The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. It means that the legal prohibition is used to guide the people, and the criminal law is used to restrain them, and the common people only seek to be free from punishment for crimes, but they lose their sense of shame; Using moral education to guide the people, and using etiquette to unify the words and deeds of the people, the people will not only have shame, but also abide by the rules.

Feng Chengping was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if this question comes out, I am afraid it will be difficult to judge the merits of the article!" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned: "Why do you say that?" ”

"The words of Confucius are well known to the world. The way of virtue is the principle of the scholar. If Your Majesty adheres to the Tao and governs, it will be difficult for the scholars of the world to return to their hearts, and this is also! Second, if the papers are all based on morality, how to judge the merits of the results? Feng Chengping was worried, he was afraid that the topic would not come out well and be criticized by the world's scholars. This is equivalent to a rat in the bellows, and both ends are angry. The emperor is not pleasing here, and the scholar is not easy to explain, how about Naizhi?

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Feng Qing is worried, and I have also thought about it. The way is to govern, the way is to be moral, all are general words. Human nature has good and evil, how can it be made 'Tao' by virtue of politics? This is not the time of antiquity, and the folk customs are not the wind of antiquity. Faith is good, and so is I. It's just for the monarch, not for virtue, not all for politics, only when politics and virtue complement each other, can we urge the people to be good and virtuous! ”

Feng Chengping had 10,000 reasons to refute the words, but the little emperor had already made up his mind and roasted him on the fire. He could foresee how many scholars would throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in front of his mansion on the day the list was released! In fact, this question has been pondered by some people since the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not original to Lu Chengqi. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a debate between morality and the rule of law. As a result, no one can convince anyone, and they can only give each other a step. If you know anything about Chinese history, you will know that a strong and prosperous dynasty has a complete legal system and complete morality. If the etiquette is broken, the morality is degraded, and the law is trampled on, then the dynasty is terminally ill and waiting to be overthrown. There is one word that fits well with the state of China since the Han Dynasty, and that is Outer Confucianism and Inner Law.

In fact, the legal system and morality are completely different things. The rule of law is forcibly restrained and enforced by the strong force of the state; Morality, on the other hand, depends on education. Why were the folk customs simple in ancient times? That's because the population is small, there are many sages, words and deeds, and the natural folk customs are simple. Now, the population is larger, but there are fewer sages, and the teachings are not so extensive, and natural social problems have emerged. The law must be preserved, in fact, the focus of Lu Chengqi's question lies in moral construction. He wanted to know how many of these people who came to the scientific expedition had real talent and could see this aspect. This is related to his educational plan to teach the people, and it can be said that the road is now being paved.

Feng Chengping couldn't understand, it was normal, after all, he didn't sit in this position. But forgive him and don't dare to refute, after all, Lu Chengqi is not the little emperor who didn't understand anything before, he has been enriching himself in the past two years, and after throwing the innocuous twists and turns to the cabinet, he has more time to read the classics and understand the current thinking of the world, so as to govern better. If he wants to lead Dashun to revival, he must first integrate into this era. (To be continued.) )
