The official stood up and said bluntly, "The affairs of the country are related to the lives of thousands of people, how can they lose the big because of the small?" When the war between the two countries starts, how many Baixin will fall into the war, how many soldiers will die in the war, and how many human tragedies will be caused, I don't know if General Du has thought about this? As the old saying goes: the lesser of the two disadvantages is balanced, and the heavier of the two benefits is the other. Raising up soldiers in vain will ruin lives and hurt countless lives; And by acting with benevolence and righteousness, great harm can be avoided. Ignoring benevolence, it is a sword that can pierce the heart and save all peoples? Instead of mobilizing troops, it is better to be benevolent and righteous and lead people upward! ”

What the admonitor said was righteous and awe-inspiring, and his body actually revealed this Ling Ran's "righteousness".

Du He was really angry and convinced when he heard it, he was able to say this kind of disgusting words so calmly, it really made people "fart" and throw their bodies to the ground.

"It's a good one, 'the lesser of two evils, and the heavier of the two benefits.'" Du He laughed and sneered: "I don't know if you are stuffing straw or waste in your head, saying such idiotic things!" ”

"You, you curse!" The official was still so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, and he trembled.

"What about scolding you!" Du He looked disdainful and said: "The Silk Road is one of the economic lifelines of my Tang Dynasty, and the flocks of business travelers are all fat sheep, and one vote is enough to eat for a few years." Gaochang's move set a precedent, and more than 30 countries in the Western Regions are watching my Datang's reaction. If I Datang were to settle on this, what would they think? They will not think that my Datang is noble, but they will think that my Datang is weak, my Datang is incompetent, and as soon as I have no money in the future, I will send troops to disturb the Silk Road, and I don't find out that I have earned it, and it doesn't matter if I am discovered. Because I have you pseudo-Confucians who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, they can't be punished in any way. From now on, the economic lifeline of my Datang is not in Taiping, which is more important? Fools can see it. ”

"I don't know who you Lao Tzu is, he actually gave birth to such a living treasure as you, and he can't even tell the most basic pros and cons. If it were me, I would immediately find a rope and hang myself, so as not to see you embarrassed! Du He pursed his lips, tilted his head, and muttered in a disdainful whisper.

No, his unintentional muttering caused a burst of laughter.

"You...... You ......" The counselor was even more angry that his hair straightened up, his breathing became more and more rapid, he screamed, his head tilted, and the whole person fell to the ground, which made him faint directly.

Du He looked innocent, where did he think that the other party could not help but say.

But I don't know how vicious his words were!

Of course, this is only for the official himself, that is, Cui Lie, and others will be very angry when they hear it, but they will not faint, but Cui Lie is different. In the final analysis, it is because of Du He's sentence "If it were me, I would immediately find a rope and hang myself, so as not to see you embarrassed." ”

This is a very ordinary sentence, but for Cui Lie, it is almost a deadly charm. Just because Cui Lie's father hanged himself, Cui Lie is the first Cui family in the gate lord clan, and his father Cui Pingwen hanged himself three years ago, and the cause of death is unknown. Because Cui Pingwen has a prominent position in the Cui family and is a well-known Confucian, his death also caused a certain sensation at the time, and almost everyone knows it.

Cui Lie had just returned to the dynasty for ten days, and when Du He said it so matter-of-factly, the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty who knew the details looked at him with different eyes, looking like this.

Du He's words were undoubtedly an incomparably sharp blade, directly poking him in the heart.

In the face of this kind of accident and coincidence, Cui Lie only felt that there was a thunderbolt in his head, and he fainted directly to the ground.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Du He strangely one by one, and they all felt that he was too bad.

Du Ruhui couldn't stand it, and was scolding, and another official jumped out: "General Du, the gentleman doesn't probe people, and he doesn't expose people's shortcomings." What is your intention in exposing the shortcomings of others in public? ”

Du He said inexplicably: "What is the short, I don't know who this guy is, but he muttered casually, what is the shortness of me?" "I don't know what the official is pointing at Duhe.

After listening to Du He's words, everyone looked at each other, all of them looked at Cui Lie who fell to the ground tragically, and they all understood that this was just a "beautiful" misunderstanding.

Li Shimin asked Cui Lie to stay for treatment, coughed and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty." Du He, I will not punish you for your unintentional words. But take it as a warning, this is a court meeting, a place to discuss national affairs, not a club for you to quarrel and quarrel, so give me a little more serious! ”

Li Shimin's words clearly showed his favoritism in Duhe, and he did not intend to pursue his wild words. I have to say that there is a Li Gang who seems to be in the background is easy to do, what can His Royal Highness's ministers do?

Seeing that Du He still had the upper hand, another advisor jumped out: "Full of fallacies, full of nonsense!" Your Majesty, General Du is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand Confucianism at all, and he doesn't know that I have a broad Confucianism. His casual assumptions simply do not exist. When the countries of the Western Regions heard this, they must deeply feel the benevolence and righteousness of our Heavenly Empire, and know that my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Didn't General Du hear that the sage had a cloud: repay grievances with virtue? ”

"Report your sister!" Du He scolded something they didn't understand, and then sneered: "It's really not wrong to say that you are pseudo-Confucians. This benevolent brother, forget it, I don't bother to know your name, just tell me where to repay grievances with virtue? I don't read much, I don't remember much! ”

The official looked disdainful and said disdainfully: "The sentence of the Analects of the Confucian Constitution is: Or say, 'Repay grievances with virtue, what is it?' Zi said: How can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. ’”

Du He smiled and said, "Okay, please use your understanding to explain the meaning of this sentence?" ”

The official was stunned, and his face changed.

All the learned people in the hall began to buzz with each other.

"Why, can't you explain it? Alas......" Du He sighed and said, "Seeing your stupidity, my superiority in wisdom arises spontaneously. ”

"Let me explain to you, what Sage Kong said was 'repaying grievances with straightforwardness', and what he said was 'A person, if others fail you, I am sorry for you, you can use your integrity and Gengjie to treat this matter fairly.'" It's not some bullshit to repay grievances with virtue, it's a lie that you hypocrites don't know how to pretend to understand, and they fabricate casually. ”

Du He strode to the front of the hall and said: "Now Gao Changguo has bullied my Tang Dynasty too much, not only destroying my Tang Dynasty's economic lifeline, but also killing my Tang Dynasty business travel, causing a bloody case. How can such a crime be forgiven? The kid is not talented, and he has recently read basic sage books, and he also knows some truth. I also know that Confucianism originated from the sage Confucius and the sub-sage Mencius, and I also know that Confucianism is based on benevolence, emphasizing etiquette and morality. But this benevolence has always been aimed at the people, and the country is governed with benevolence. This etiquette is even more aimed at gentlemen, people who keep etiquette. Dare to ask all the great Confucians present, the sages have thousands of words, but there is a sentence that says that you should tolerate the alien race, and you should let the alien race bully and not fight back? ”

Being beaten passively has never been Du He's style, and today he made this group of pseudo-Confucians and defenders confused. Recently, under the encouragement of Changle, he happened to read a few Confucian classics, knew some historical allusions, famous sentences, and some experiences. So he took the initiative to attack, intending to kill one of them and defeat the army.

And they were speechless.

It is true that Confucianism is based on benevolence and righteousness, but there are almost no theories about foreign races, and there are very few of them. Because in the Spring and Autumn Period, civil strife was the mainstay, and the surrounding alien races did not become a climate at all.

Chu Suiliang said: "Although the sage did not say, 'We should be tolerant of foreign races', but benevolence is not divided between high and low, why is my Heavenly Empire not allowed to practice benevolent government to foreign races?" ”

Chu Suiliang said just one sentence, but he said the key point. And all the lords and factions of the temple secretly applauded him.

Du He said unhurriedly: "Benevolence naturally does not distinguish between high and low, but don't you look at people?" Forget it, let's not talk about it yet. I don't know if Master Chu has ever heard such a passage: 'Sleep on the pillow is dry, no, and the world is also together.' What does it mean to fight without fighting against the city'? ’”

Chu Suiliang had a lesson from the past and did not dare to answer rashly.

Du He asked himself and said proudly: "This is a conversation between the sage Confucius and the disciple Xia. Zixia asked Confucius, 'What is the enmity of the parents?' Confucius replied: 'Sleep on the pillow is dry, not the Buddha, and the world is also the same.' When encountering the city, do not fight against the army. ’”

"The whole meaning is that Zi Xia asked Confucius, 'How to avenge the murder of his father!' Confucius replied, "Even if you sleep on the grass, you should also rest your head on the soldiers, do not become officials, disregard your career, look for enemies, and do not share the sky with your enemies." If you encounter an enemy in the market or at the court, you do not have to go back to get your weapon, and you will be killed immediately regardless of the occasion or place. ’”

Du He's face was straight, and he shouted: "The father's hatred is still not shared, let alone the national hatred?" Master Chu, is it a bit stupid to say benevolence to an enemy who does not share the sky? ”

"Your Majesty!" He bowed to Li Shimin and said loudly: "My father taught me since I was a child that only when there is a country can there be a home, and if the country does not exist, why is the family there." My parents cast my flesh and bones, but Datang conceived my soul. In Du He's heart, Datang's honor and disgrace are more important than everything and more important than life. "The evil voice is coming, it will be the opposite" Mencius said that Du He did not dare to forget, and now Gaochang went to Liwentai to kill my Datang business trip and cut off my Datang economic lifeline. I really deceived my Datang too much. Bullying my Datang is like folding my parents, and Weichen swears not to share the sky with me. ”

Du He's words were loud and moving.

Most of the ministers in the court made his blood boil, and most of them stood up in unison and bowed: "The ministers also swear not to share the sky with them!" ”

These people include Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin and a group of heavyweights.

Their shouts shook the entire Tai Chi Hall.

A group of big Confucians looked at this momentum blankly, unable to let out a fart for a long time, and focused on Wei Zheng, who was in the forefront.
