Chapter 428: Brothers Together

It was a surprise that things had come to this point. Of course, in this situation, this early dynasty could not continue, Li Shimin hurriedly asked people to call the imperial doctor, and then placed Kong Yingda for treatment. And the ministers also left one after another with Li Shimin announcing the end of the early dynasty.

But Li Feng didn't leave, because he knew that the matter was far from over. On the contrary, as this happened, it became more serious. If he had made up a random reason according to Li Shimin's prompt at that time, maybe the matter would have been resolved smoothly.

Of course, he didn't regret making things like this. In life, there are things to do and things not to do. He Li Feng thought to himself that he was not at fault in this matter, so it would be absolutely impossible to let him bow his head.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, he did this to destroy the ancestral etiquette and ignore the rules of the ancestors. However, the rules are a thing, how to say it, he is set by people. Similarly, Li Feng also has his own rules in his heart. As long as you don't get in the way, then what you do and how you do it are your own business, and others can't control it.

Obviously, he shaved his head, and his daughter-in-law didn't find it ugly, and she didn't say anything against it. People like Kong Yingda, but they are holding chicken feathers as arrows, not only talking nonsense, but also he is ***, and he is on the line. This is something that Li Feng can't tolerate, so even if Li Shimin has given him a hint, he will definitely not bow his head.

As the saying goes, it makes sense to endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. However, at least in Li Feng's case, that is not applicable. Life in the world requires some perseverance and some self-principles. These things, that's not something to bear.

And often, that is, this sentence, makes countless unreasonable rules slowly formed. In the end, it can make people numb.

However, Li Feng knew that this matter was indeed a bit tricky, especially for Li Shimin. It's tricky. Some embarrassed Li Shimin, the emperor. It's just that Li Feng doesn't know what kind of choice he will make. He knew that Li Shimin would definitely have something to say.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Someone came to invite Li Feng, saying that the emperor invited him to the Ganlu Palace. Li Feng didn't say anything, and followed directly to the Manna Palace. And as soon as he entered the door of the Manna Palace, he found that, as always, tables and chairs had been set up inside, and wine and food had been prepared.

But Li Shimin did not sit on the dragon case. Instead, he sat directly on the edge of the table below, and had already begun to pour wine into two wine glasses.

Li Feng was not polite, and directly came to sit down opposite Li Shimin, and then. picked up the wine that Li Shimin had just poured and drank it in one go. However, as soon as he put the cup down, Li Shimin filled it for him again. But. This time, Li Feng didn't drink it. Instead, he looked at Li Shimin fixedly.

"Is this a Hongmen banquet, or is it an execution wine?"

After a long while, Li Feng picked up the wine glass again, drank it all in one gulp, and then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and at the same time, asked Li Shimin very casually.

"It's not, I just want our two brothers to have a good drink and then have a good chat."

Regarding Li Feng's words, Li Shimin just smiled casually, and then poured Li Feng full again, while saying that it was as if what happened in the court just now had not happened.

"Let's talk, what are we talking about?"

Li Feng was very surprised when he saw Li Shimin's demeanor, but he didn't think much about it soon, and said casually while stuffing a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Well, speaking of which, today's fourth brother, your call, although it was a little reckless, but it was very happy, very happy. To be honest, actually, I don't like them either. However, there is no way. Since the Han Dynasty, the governance of the country has basically relied on Confucianism, which can be described as a monopoly. Over the centuries, the idea that has been formed, that is deep-rooted. These concepts are deeply rooted in people's bone marrow."

Indeed, this Confucian law of governing the country has made the people more docile and easier to govern. At the same time, however, a deep-rooted force has formed. This force, of course, is extremely powerless, but they occupy the Dao Rule, a force that is more powerful than any other force, making me afraid to do many things. Not only I, but also Emperor Gong, such a monarch, is also taboo against these people, and does not dare to make the slightest move."

"In the past, although I felt very uncomfortable about this, I didn't know the root cause. However, since I talked to you a few times with the fourth brother, I have slowly come to understand a little. I know that if I want to do something, the biggest enemy is them, and the sacred Dao system they have always supported."

"Unfortunately, even if I understand, I still can't do anything. Needless to say, the governance of this country alone is inseparable from their gang of people. Although some time ago, I relied on the Chinese pinyin provided by my fourth brother to me, as well as the teaching method, and vigorously promoted the cause of education. However, although this method is good, it is not immediate. Moreover, I found that in the end, it was still very difficult for these poor children to be used by me. ”

"Because, the basic literacy teaching in the early stage is better to say, and it doesn't cost geometry. Ordinary people can cope with it, but once it is in the later stage, the tuition required is not something that ordinary people can support. What makes me even more sad is that often after these people finish their studies, they will always become one of them, which is really chilling."

"Therefore, the main reason for leaving the fourth brother down today is to discuss it with the fourth brother, and see what the fourth brother has on your side, so that you can solve this problem once and for all."

Looking at Li Shimin, there was a lot of crackling all of a sudden, and Li Feng finally believed that this guy didn't want to ask for guilt when he left himself. If it were in the past, Li Feng would definitely not care about Li Shimin's. After all, as long as he intervenes in this matter, in the end, he will definitely have to trap himself in it.

However, today is different, to be honest, he was really aroused by Kong Yingda's gang. I also know that this thing is only from the beginning. Then it's not that simple. Now that they are on the opposite side, there is nothing to talk about.

"I see what you mean, you're saying you need to have your own talent, right? To be loyal to your own talents, in fact, it is also simple, you can't cultivate it yourself. The so-called, take people's hands short. Eaters have short mouths. If you want to get something, you have to pay first. Therefore, if we want to change this situation, we must develop our own human resources."

Li Feng still has some understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and heard Li Shimin say this. He understood Li Shimin's thoughts better. For a long time, the country's cultivation of talents has basically been a blank. These so-called scholars are basically cultivated by those families themselves. Then it is selected through the way of recommendation, imperial examination, etc. Immediately, he became an official of all parties in the imperial court.

Although among these people. There are many who are not the children of those families, but they are always inextricably linked to these families. After all, a poor family. It's really difficult to train a reader. If there is no support from these families, no matter how talented they are, they will have to be buried.

Just ask. In this situation, these so-called pillars of the state. How high is his loyalty to the imperial court? Especially when it comes to the interests of that huge family group, it is difficult to say whether they are on the side of the imperial court or on the other side.

This is an era when talent education is completely monopolized by those families. And talent, in that era, was an indispensable thing for sin. Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Shimin, as well as his Tang Dynasty, at some point, were timid.

"Cultivate it yourself, why don't I want to. However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. That's an astronomical amount of money, and, in my estimation, it's a constant stream of money. It's not that you don't know that the treasury of the imperial court is poor. The matter of money, for the time being, it is good to say, if I can really achieve the goal, even if I tighten my clothes and food, I have to find a way to get through. ”

"But, I found out, these scholars. I don't know what's going on, whether they can all read and read stupidly, or is there some magical power in this book of saints, often, it makes these people, grace...... How to put it, is to make these people's thoughts become a virtue. I'm really afraid that when the time comes, the people who have been cultivated by smashing pots and selling iron, tightening their belts and living a life will end up making wedding dresses for others. Then I might as well be like this."

Cultivating talents by himself, Li Shimin has not thought about it, nor has he never done it. However, this effect made him feel a little sad.

", cultivate talents by yourself, or let them learn those four books and five classics, isn't this obvious, just like the same gentleman taught it. At the end of the day, it's strange that their minds don't become the same. Moreover, to put it mildly, the talents cultivated in this way are not bullshit, except for those who are also talented and poetic. Let them be officials, especially those at the grassroots level, and it is better to save them. Don't say that if you do it for the benefit of the people, if you don't harm the people, then you can burn high incense."

As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, Li Feng was speechless for a while. What a joke. Continue to let these people learn the Four Books and Five Classics, the way of Confucius and Mencius, and in the end, it is strange not to be brainwashed by this Confucius. Besides, in Li Feng's opinion, the people cultivated in this way are simply useless.

"If you don't learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and if you don't learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, what will you teach?"

Li Feng's words immediately made Li Shimin's heart happy. knew that this time, Li Feng was annoyed by these old pedants. Otherwise, it would not be possible to speak so well. However, listening to the meaning of Li Feng's words, as well as the disparagement of the Four Books and Five Classics, the way of Confucius and Mencius, to the point of uselessness, I know that the leader must have an idea.

However, this made Li Shimin depressed, if you don't learn this, what do you learn. After all, haven't you been learning these things for hundreds of years?

"I won't mention what to teach for the time being, in short, in one sentence, the talent must be the right one. Whatever you do, you have to be a professional. For example, let's talk about Cheng Biting Jin, if you want to talk about governing the army and fighting a war, he must be a good hand. But if you let him be a county magistrate, he can make a mess of a small county for you, believe it or not. In the same way, those who learn the Four Books and the Five Classics will only know the Four Books and the Five Classics in the end, and they will not be able to do anything except read books and make articles. Not to mention, they were brainwashed by Confucius."

"Therefore, if we want to do it, we can't do it according to the old routine, we must think of new tricks. As for how to do it, we still need to sum it up."

Since he was already planning to take over this matter, Li Feng was of course not afraid of trouble. If you don't do it, you don't do it, if you want to do it, then you have to do it well.

Since the other party always uses some ancestral rules and sage words from time to time to make trouble for himself. Then Li Feng didn't mind, so he directly gave him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, dug up your ancestral grave, and saw if you still had ancestral rules.
