Chapter 432: The Power of the Common People
Li Shimin must have taken down his big hat above the court, which suddenly made everyone have nothing to say, and the matter was so decided. And everyone's focus suddenly shifted from Li Feng to this debate conference. And the contradiction suddenly shifted from Li Feng's great rebellion and disobedience to the ancestral law, to whether the ancestral law should be obeyed.
In short, Li Shimin's song of transferring flowers and trees, and leading the water to the east, can be described as exquisite, which makes this matter more confusing and makes people think differently.
Due to yesterday's incident, Kong Yingda did not come today's early dynasty. This is not because he is unwell and needs to recuperate, but because he feels that he can't get over his face, after all, yesterday's scene was really a bit embarrassing. However, although he did not come to the court, it did not mean that he knew nothing about the affairs of the court.
As soon as the court meeting ended, many officials began to rush to the Confucian Mansion one after another. After all, as the main force in this incident, there are many things that they need to follow his opinion. Besides, things have developed to this point now, and everyone's minds are also a little cloudy, and they are a little overwhelmed.
"Hmph, what a trick to lead the water to the east, stealing beams and changing pillars. However, if you want things to be so simple, there are no doors. If you want to be reasonable, then let's have a good theory and theory, and when the theory comes out, then the old man will see how this play ends."
After sending everyone away, Kong Yingda muttered to herself with a face full of anger. For Li Shimin to shield Li Feng like this, Kong Yingda was still very angry in his heart. In his opinion, this matter was Li Feng's violation of the rules, but he was just upholding the sage's etiquette and maintaining the morality of the world, in the final analysis, it was also for the good of the imperial power. Unexpectedly, in exchange for such a result, how not to chill him.
In addition, Li Feng was so unashamed to speak so loudly and insulted him so much, which made him even more angry in his heart. If Li Feng can't be brought to justice, then where is the sage etiquette, and what kind of face do these saint disciples have in this world, the most important thing is that. If this matter is left to rest like this, does it mean that the Confucian way of governing the country will be overthrown in the long run?
"No, absolutely not, even if the old man gives up this life. and to uphold the unity of the saints."
Thinking of this, Kong Yingda was first shocked, and then said in a deep voice through gritted teeth.
However, all this can only be done now after the end of this debate. As for the debate, he was not worried. Reasoning, the reason of the world. Can it be as big as this saint's ritual? Debating is even more of their mastery, and it's hard to make it happen, they're still debating just the average mountain villager, what kind of joke.
But. He is still clear about the fact that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, so he immediately began to arrange it in full swing, in short. They must win this debate.
And just when Kong Yingda's gang was in full swing around this debate conference. Li Tai and Li Ke sat together again, but this time it was in Li Ke's Wu Wangfu. After all, the last time we got together was in Li Tai's Wei Palace, and we didn't come and go.
However, compared with Kong Yingda's determined look, Li Ke and Li Tai's faces were sad. They are not pure readers like Kong Yingda, and they will not see the problem so simply. They were not so optimistic about the outcome of the debate.
"Third brother, something is wrong."
This time, it was indeed a little too sudden, and the form became too fast, so Li Tai suddenly became a little overwhelmed in his heart. Therefore, after knowing the news, he immediately rushed to Wu Wangfu, and after seeing Li Ke, he was not half-concealed like last time, but said directly to Li Ke.
"Well, it's true, my father's hand transfer technique is really amazing. Debate Conference ...... Hehe, what a brilliant and novel trick. In my opinion, this is not like my father's style of acting, and this idea must have been proposed by our Fourth Emperor Uncle. In this way, this matter is indeed a bit unfavorable. In fact, there is no need to debate anything about this matter, and the burden of long hair can be understood by just thinking about it. The so-called sage ritual law is not important to the common people, what they care about is the real benefits, therefore, the outcome of the debate is predictable, and it is certainly not optimistic."
Li Ke was not anxious at this time, so he frowned as he spoke.
"Uncle Four Emperors? Hehe, how could it be that he would come up with this kind of trick, it seems that I underestimated our Fourth Emperor Uncle too much before. There is no need to think about the outcome of the debate now. When the time comes, the father will definitely use this as an excuse to ruthlessly fall on the face of those old masters. You know, my father has long been very tired of them, and even, the next may be ...... Well, what I'm most worried about now is that after this incident, the prestige of our Fourth Emperor Uncle's status will really be unshakable, and it will ...... in the future."
If you want to cooperate, of course, you need sincerity, so there are not so many scruples for two people to talk at this time. Therefore, Li Tai said what he was most worried about. They don't care about anything else, they only care about the consequences if this thing is left unchecked.
Needless to say, the name of this brave king will definitely be famous all over the world, and the status of this brave king will become unbreakable. Needless to say, the relationship between King Yong and the crown prince can be described as sharing honor and disgrace, so for them, that matter is a very unfavorable thing.
"Fourth brother, don't worry, everything, just act according to the plan. However, in this case, we need to be extra careful not to show the slightest clue. Otherwise, you and I won't be able to eat and walk away."
The matter is a foregone conclusion at this point, so there is nothing to discuss. But fortunately, in this way, their plan will be more natural at that time. However, in this case, it becomes more difficult to implement the previous plans, and at the same time, the risks become greater.
"Well, what the third brother said is extremely true. That's what the little brother is thinking about......"
Li Tai didn't come with such a thought. They are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and everyone can share the benefits, and no one can run away if there are disasters. He also realized that the situation had become serious, so he came to Li Ke on purpose. Clearly, though, his worries were unfounded.
The emperor personally issued a holy decree, so the matter of debating the conference can be said to be progressing rapidly. Whether it's the layout of the site. The publicity work on this matter is still in full swing. Overnight, the people of Chang'an City already knew about it, so the streets and alleys. The teahouse and restaurant began to be lively again. It can be said that the debate meeting has not even begun, and the non-governmental debate meeting is already going on fiercely.
After a few days, all the preliminary preparations were over. And the debate that everyone is arguing about is finally about to begin.
In order to accommodate more people and allow more people to participate in this matter, the scene of this debate conference was specially selected in the large campus outside the south gate of Chang'an City. The day the debate began. Countless people flocked to the south gate. Soon, there was a dense crowd around the school field, and the scene was much more spectacular than the original long-distance run around the city.
And obviously, for such a lively scene. Li Feng was not interested, besides, this matter was caused by him, and he didn't want to be on the scene. Become the target of public criticism. What's more, he's really busy these days. I can't pull away at all.
However, for this kind of lively scene, Gao Yang and the others liked it the most, and they ran to see the excitement early in the morning like those people. Li Feng couldn't help this girl's temperament, so in the end he could only arrange for two soldiers from the Black Tiger Army to go with them, so as not to have any accidents.
It is worth mentioning that since the detailed information of this debate conference was published. Far from becoming bleak, business has become more prosperous. And Li Feng also found that there were many people who had already clicked off their long hair and entered the door with short hair to buy clothes.
Of course, they didn't make a bald head like Li Feng, they just cut their hair very short. Seeing this, Li Feng knew more about this debate conference. It also confirms that sentence, the eyes of the people are bright.
This debate conference can be described as a novelty, and at the beginning, most people watched it with the mentality of watching the excitement. But, listen, some people have become participants in this debate. As more and more people participated, the debate became more intense.
Anyway, the emperor's decree had already been promulgated at the conference, and the decree was all said, and you can speak freely at the conference, and you will not be condemned by your speech.
Of course, there are pros and cons to the debate, and needless to say, one of them is of course those who defend the saints' humanity. At the beginning of the conference, they were bursting with aggressive tirades, which can be said to be out of the limelight. However, as more and more opponents got involved and raised more and more opposition questions, these readers began to be overwhelmed.
After all, their only reliance is nothing more than the fact that the rites of the saints cannot be changed. However, the people are really real, in the past, this issue was not mentioned, but now, once it is mentioned, the people have ideas in their hearts. It can be said that the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and it will soon overwhelm these scholars, and they will not even have the strength to parry.
For this reason, there were a lot of jokes at the conference. For example, in order to refute the other party's sentence, a person who can't just throw away what his parents give him suddenly asks weakly. That is, when the child is born, the gas in the stomach is not considered to be given by the parents, if the child is careless, the child farts, what should I do? As soon as this question came out, the audience was silent for a while, and then of course it burst into laughter.
Of course, some people will definitely not be able to laugh, but will be so angry that their faces are red and their eyes are wide, but they don't know how to refute it.
The matter did not end here, but it inspired many problems among the common people. And these problems are all aimed at those unreasonable ancestral laws and regulations. These questions one by one made such a reader even more unbearable, and he just said it in one sentence, and the ancestors changed the rules of the ancestors.
However, there are also some people who are smarter and obediently shut up, and have even begun to switch camps and join the common people.
"Haha, the power of the people is really the most powerful force in the world. No wonder the fourth brother always says that we ordinary people have power, it seems that this matter is true"
In the palace, after hearing these news, Li Shimin was very happy.
