The war was launched, and Yang Reform was a little quieter than before, and those thoughts of gains and losses were gone, and people were more relaxed, and some boring ideas were abandoned, and people were more happy.

However, this day is still boring, the appointment of Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng was passed almost without any hindrance, and there is no day of fighting, Yang Reform feels that the days are really not interesting, but he longs for a few things that make him worth fighting.

Hong Chengchou was appointed governor of Liaodong, and Lu Xiang was promoted to governor of Datong. Yuan Chonghuan's promotion from the governor of Liaodong to the secretary of the military department can be regarded as a reward for his great victory, which was originally scheduled for a long time, but it has finally been fulfilled until now. This is one of the reasons why there is no opposition to the appointment of Hong and Lu.

Sun Chengzong relieved himself of the errand of the secretary of the military department and still became a scholar, in fact, Sun Chengzong was the same as whether he was a secretary of the military department or not, in terms of military affairs, everyone knew that this was the first person in the military field.

Sun Chengzong resigned from the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yang Reform was also a lot easier, Yang Reform has always been afraid that Sun Chengzong will be squeezed down again, and many times, Sun Chengzong is not involved in anything other than the military, which can be regarded as the protection of Sun Chengzong. In history, Sun Chengzong was ousted several times.

Yang's reform days were a little ordinary and boring, but there was one person's life, so to speak, "dark".

This person is Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father of Yan, who is now "practicing" the emperor's words and practicing the "human needs" of Confucianism.

Kong Yinzhi likes to lock himself in the study these days, and he doesn't know what he's messing with.

On this day, Kong Yinzhi still locked himself in the study, and he was working hard to practice what people need. People definitely need a lot of things to live, if they don't eat, they can last for several days, if they want to starve to death, it may take longer, Kong Yinzhi also starved himself for a few meals, and he was so hungry that he couldn't hold on. insisted on practicing not drinking water, which is more difficult than not eating, and without drinking water for a day, Kong Yinzhi felt that his throat was about to catch fire.

But today, Kong Yinzhi's practice is that people need to be the first, breathing, Kong Yinzhi kept holding his breath again and again, trying not to breathe, but obviously, he couldn't do it, Kong Yinzhi Yijing was so red that his face was flushed, after countless experiments, Kong Yinzhi came to the conclusion that this breath is indeed the first need of people, without breathing, people can zhende die in a moment, faster than drinking poison.

This truth is shallow, but it is real.

After holding his breath countless times, his face was flushed, and even Kong Yinzhi, who was a little purple, was constantly in a daze, and he had a deep understanding of the experience of human needs, but he was even more confused, and then he felt that it was time for him to go to the emperor.

On this day, Yang Reform is still as good as in the past, and he is still dressed like in the past, and the days can be lived day after day, without any new ideas.

The weather became cold again, and Yang Gengai remembered that the clothes on his body today seemed to be thicker.

"It's cold again today!" Yang Gai dressed up and said with emotion. The weather is getting colder, and the war is getting closer and closer, and when spring begins next year, it will be a decisive battle.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, these days are colder than the previous days, but I'm afraid it won't be long before it snows." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.

"Yes! It's snowing almost. Yang Gengai sighed.

“… What's important today? Yang Gengai still asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong asks to see you." Wang Chengen hurriedly reported.

Kong Yinzhi said.

"Slave and maid obey ......the order," Wang Chengen agreed.

It's still a warm pavilion, so far, this warm pavilion can be said to be a warm pavilion, Yang Reform went out to breathe, felt a little cold, and then warmed up the pavilion, it was really much warmer.

"Minister Kong Yinzhi see Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi is still a neat salute.

"No courtesy, the Qing family came to see me, but is there something?" Yang asked briefly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here to listen to Your Majesty's teachings." Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said.

"Oh, hehehe, what do you want to hear from me?" Yang Gai said with a smile, you don't have to think about it, probably Kong Yinzhi has reached the time for his head to short circuit again, the clockwork that was put on him last time is probably empty, and it's time to wind him again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister listened to the teachings here last time in His Majesty, and felt that there was an understanding, and that the needs of people are indeed the essence of Confucianism, and the needs of people are Confucianism, and Confucianism should take solving people's needs as its own responsibility, just like the first need of people is to breathe, and it is impossible for people not to breathe, just as Confucianism talks about loyalty and filial piety, loyalty, forgiveness, and benevolence, for the stability of the world, for the peace of the people in the world, for the sake of life, living people, and living roads, the minister feels that this is very in line with the essence of Confucianism..." How to combine human needs with Confucianism, Kong Yinzhi also put a lot of effort into it. ,

"Hehehe, the Qing family is very enlightened, it is really good, I appreciate it very much" Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations. These four sentences, these four sentences can best express the Confucian's bosom, but also the most able to show the Confucian's knowledge and ambition, Confucianism should have this spirit, with this spirit, not in vain to call Confucianism, not in vain to write Confucianism. ”

Yang Gai said with a smile, it seems that the effect of the winding last time was still good, and this Kong Yinzhi is very good at following the way.

"Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to teach." Kong Yinzhi still earnestly asks for advice, just like a student asks for advice.

Only ,........., I said that if the Qing family wants to do something, it must innovate on the basis of its predecessors, and its thoughts and words must surpass its predecessors and sages. The reason why a saint is a saint and not something else is the difference"...... Yang Reform began to wind Kong Yinzhi again.

"The minister is stupid, please make it clear to your majesty." Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi continued to admit Zhende for advice.

It's just ,........., Qing's family might as well experience these four sentences, and they will definitely gain something......"

Yang Gai said.

“…… Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, and please ask Your Majesty to explain ......" Kong Yinzhi said again. It's not that he hasn't pondered these words, his feelings are really limited, although he shouted loudly, but he really can't say why. He also knew that the emperor did not lie to him, and the emperor took him seriously, in addition to warning him not to lose the traditional project of education, if he wants to become holy, he must be innovative, he must be different and different from his predecessors, and he must surpass the achievements of his predecessors. And to do this, just by virtue of his Yan Shenggong, it is impossible to do it, his only chance is to rely on the emperor, Kong Yinzhi also saw it, now the emperor has a strong will to change this society, to put it more bluntly, that is, the emperor wants to "change the law" Since the emperor wants to change, there must be a set of reasonable theories to support in words and deeds, and if the emperor wants to have a set of theories in this regard, there must be corresponding people who come out to advocate for the emperor and act as the emperor's "tongue" Originally, He Kong Yinzhi stood from the perspective of Confucianism and Confucius, and should not support the emperor to do this. However, Kong Yinzhi took a closer look at the emperor, and found that he didn't seem to have any ability to influence the emperor, and it seemed that he couldn't stop the emperor, so far, almost everything the emperor wanted to do, Kong Yinzhi didn't believe that he was a Yan Shenggong in the eyes of the emperor, and if he didn't come forward, there would be other people who would come out to do this, such as the great Confucian Liu Zongzhou in the world, who was also under the command of the imperial party, the old one had Liu Zongzhou, and the younger one was Huang Zongxi, the emperor was not unprepared, he didn't stick to the emperor, The emperor will also use other people to do this, rather than this, Kong Yinzhi feels that he might as well come out and act as a role in this role, and participate in it himself, so that he can also know the ins and outs of the whole incident, and he can continue the Hui Luo of the Kong family, maybe zhende as the emperor said, it is impossible to say if he creates another saint, between the emperor's reputation has always been, Kong Yinzhi is more willing to believe in the emperor. Kong Yinzhi knows that it doesn't matter what he thinks, the important thing is to understand the emperor's words and understand what the emperor wants to achieve, this is where his value lies, without this, his value to the emperor is almost equal to zero. Therefore, Kong Yinzhi is extremely recognizant of this matter.

"Well......, let's put it this way, these four sentences are really good, and they are also in line with the essence of Confucianism, and they are also in line with the understanding of people's needs, but I am willing to express the needs of people in a few simpler words, to express the essence of Confucianism........." Yang Reform thought about it and decided to give Kong Yinzhi a little more and a little tighter this time, otherwise, it would be a few days before the clockwork, and Yang Reform would be tired!

"Please also ask Your Majesty for advice." Kong Yinzhi said with extreme recognition.

As the Qing family just said, the first need of people is breathing, and by extension, it is life, and then by extension, it can be combined with benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness...... but to sum up, it is just two words, people's livelihood. The people, the people of the people: life, the life of life, the life of production, the life of life............... "The Qing family may wish to take this as the topic, refer to it in more detail, and you will definitely have an understanding...... "Yang Reform said, or threw out this important keyword, xiwang's clockwork this time can make Kong Yinzhi think longer, xiwang's brainstorming this time, can be scraped a little harder. ,

"People's livelihood?" Kong Yinzhi smacked for a while, this word?

"Yes, it's people's livelihood, this word is a high summary of a lot ......of things, the Qing family might as well think about it carefully, since this word is people's livelihood, then the Qing family had better personally observe and understand what is called people's livelihood, presumably there will be something to gain," Yang Reform said, at this time, Yang Reform took a slight step forward in the field of thought, maybe this step is a bit big, maybe there are many unknowable dangers, but since Yang Reform has decided to change this shijie, we must take this step, Just seek safety, just get by, follow the rules This is not good, delusional to rely on oneself Liliang "against the sky" will eventually be exhausted, to completely change this society, some things, must let him be born, some roads, must be passed.

"Obey! His Majesty Xie taught" Although Kong Yinzhi seemed to have some understanding, but for a while, he couldn't say why, he only felt that the emperor did say something important, which may be what he had to do in the next stage.

chatted with Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi for a while, and Yang Reform asked Kong Yinzhi to go back.

Kong Yinzhi left, and Yang Reform became melancholy again, or rather, more emotional. The words behind the people's livelihood can be the people's rights, and then in the future, they will be the "people" lord, these words are undoubtedly things that want the lives of some people, such as himself, the emperor Lao'er. These words directed by Yang Reform Xiangdao himself may kill him in the future, and Yang Reform can only smile bitterly. Heartfelt wry smile.

The one who became the emperor didn't do it like himself, he dug his own grave, this is a feudal imperial system that has been buried for thousands of years! However, since we talk about changing society and promoting social change, these words will definitely pop up, otherwise, society will never change, and there is no need to talk about progress. Something is destined to be contradictory.

Of course, Yang Reform is even more affectionate, burying the emperor's rights and systems with his own hands, and ending the emperor's profession with his own hands, who dares to say that there is no jī affection? Ordinary people can't do it.

This matter is one of the few things that can make Yang Reform fight, Yang Reform's thinking, Yijing has not been running at such a high speed for a long time as it is today, and the jī love of battle has befallen Yang Reform again.

Blood, in the residence of the chong Although Kong Yinzhi Yijing has been gone for a long time, Yang Reform's face is still red.

It took a long time for Yang Reform to retreat from this endless thinking.

"Your Majesty" Wang Chengen has been waiting, seeing that the emperor was blushing and a little scared, he wanted to remind the emperor, but he saw that the emperor was pondering, he didn't dare to disturb, and he could only wait a little anxiously, seeing that the emperor finally woke up, his heart was finally relieved, and he hurriedly handed over the tea.

"Hmm" Yang Reform drank a cup of tea full, although the tea is a little bitter, but after a little bitterness, it is fragrant and sweet, Yang Reform feels that what he does will definitely be like this tea, although the bitterness is bitter, but after the bitterness, it must be bitter and sweet.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor drank a cup of tea in one go, and hurriedly added water.

"Companion, go and ask Master Sun to come over." Yang Reform said that after being busy with ideological matters, Yang Reform still has to return his brain to practical matters.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed, and hurriedly went to deliver the decree.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong arrived soon, and the platform was very close to the Qianqing Palace.

"Master Sun, sit down......" Yang said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong thanksgiving.

“…… Master Sun, I'm afraid that this Ryukyu matter will come to an end soon......" Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the matter of the Ryukyus, Your Majesty crushed it with a thousand forces, and the Japanese can support it, and sooner or later there will be results." Sun Chengbi said.

"Well, this is also a fact, the matter of the Ryukyus is over, and you have to beware of the courtiers talking nonsense" Yang Reform said, the news from the south, the fact of the Ryukyu Kingdom is not a difficult matter, clean up the Ryukyu Kingdom occupied by the Japanese State, and rescue the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, it is really not a difficult matter, Yang Reform is a little worried that those courtiers will take the opportunity to make trouble, in fact, he is not afraid of them, but he must also defend himself in advance. Now Yang Reform doesn't have the strength and mood to fight with those courtiers, but fortunately, those courtiers seem to be afraid of themselves, and they don't dare to provoke easily. ,

"Back to Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, this matter is simple, just use the reason that the Japanese people may disturb and repeat, you can continue to blockade the sea, you only need to explain the sailors, and it is not difficult to ...............think about this matter," Sun Chengzong said.

"Yes! This matter is indeed not difficult, but Yuan Chonghuan is going to enter Beijing for a long time! Master Sun thinks that this Yuan Chonghuan Zhende can be qualified for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War? Yang Reform asked, Yuan Chonghuan is about to enter Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, this idea was born by Yang Reform, and now, Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yuan Ziru has experienced this year's war, has experience in actual combat, and also has experience in leading troops, and is much stronger than ordinary people in military affairs. Sun Chengzong thought about it and said, Sun Chengzong also felt strange, Yuan Ziru was the secretary of the military department, wasn't it decided by the emperor himself? Why did the emperor still come to ask him?

"Alas, hehehe, indeed, Yuan Chonghuan has actual combat experience, which is what I value, but, as Master Sun said, he has his own system of fighting, and his set of methods of fighting is the main reason why I value him, otherwise, I would not let him be the secretary of the military department......" Yang Gai said with a smile.

"This, Your Majesty" Sun Chengzong was confused, what did the emperor want to say? What is Yuan Ziru's self-contained means of warfare? Could it be that the "scout war" that you are talking about? Thousands of deaths, tens of thousands are still called scout "scout warfare"? The emperor values this very much?

Although Sun Chengzong has some contempt for this method of covering people's eyes and ears, and even some of the methods of covering up their ears and stealing bells, he has to admit that this method is indeed very effective, driven by not counting casualties and only counting achievements, in that place in Liaodong, everyone has worked hard to make achievements, and now, it is regarded as relying on this set to press the Donglu to death, and the blockade is very tight, the so-called battlefield shelter can be regarded as the most sufficient, the Dongyu people are few, and the elite is even less, how to fight with the Ming Dynasty to afford consumption? In the face of the dead thousands of elites and still called "scouts", there is no way, and I can't afford to hurt it!

“… How to put it, I actually think that maybe Yuan Chonghuan will be more effective in commanding the naval division than commanding the army...... "Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"Ahh His Majesty meant that Yuan Ziru was appointed as the secretary of the military department in order to fight a naval battle, "Sun Chengzong gave the emperor's words to the thunder.
