"None of them will last long......," Kublai Khan frowned. How long is this "not long-lasting"? Decade? Twenty years? Or thirty years? Chen Dexing's rise has only been a few years, he has already torn the soil and become the king, tired of defeating the Mongolian heavenly soldiers, and even he, a big khan, has hid in Jingzhao Mansion to avoid the edge. If it is "not long" for another twenty or thirty years, it is difficult to say whether there is a Great Mongolian State or not!

Yao Shu saw Kublai Khan frowning, thinking that the other party didn't believe what Liu Bingzhong said, so he smiled and said: "Great Khan, in fact, the Central Plains Han Land has its own avenue, which is the Confucian scriptures and righteousness, which can educate people's hearts and assist the king. Even Buddhism and Taoism should also move closer to Confucianism.

However, Chen Dexing's so-called Heavenly Taoism is incompatible with Confucianism. Blindly pretending to be a ghost, there is no avenue, walking in the wild land of Liaodong may be effective, if you go to the Central Plains, you will be spurned by people who read and reason, you can only bewitch the puppet, so it will not become a climate. ”

"Do you use Confucianism to fight heaven and Taoism?" Kublai Khan stroked the beard on his chin and furrowed his brows even tighter. Even the heavenly soldiers of Great Mongolia can't deal with Chen Dexing and Tiandaoism, can Confucianism do it? This Chen Dexing has gone to heaven and earth, how should Confucianism deal with it? Is there a big Confucian who can fly? Is there a big Confucian who can play big guns?

Yao Shu said confidently: "With Confucian righteousness, you can break the heresy of heaven!" Chen Dexing used cults to confuse people's minds, and once his theory of ghosts and gods was broken by Confucianism, those who followed blind followers would surely leave him. When the time comes, the thief's heart will be lost. The stars are scattered, and the Great Khan only needs to send a partial division to crusade. You can take its head and hate it for the Great Khan and the Prince of Real Gold. ”

"Can Confucianism break the way of heaven?" Kublai Khan suddenly became interested. He knows it now. Heavenly Taoism has become a tool for Chen Dexing to bewitch Liaodong to give birth to a girl. And Liaodong Shengjurchen is the source of Chen Dexing's light cavalry. If there were no so-called Eight Banners, all Chen Dexing could rely on was the big guns and infantry. Sooner or later, there will be the former in Great Mongolia - Kublai Khan has already made a plan to gather craftsmen throughout Great Mongolia to find a way to cast a great fire gun.

And the latter is not in the eyes of the Mongols, no matter how strong the infantry is, if there is no light cavalry to cooperate, it will only be passively beaten. Even if it was a fluke victory, it would not be possible to catch up with the four legs of the Mongol cavalry with two legs. The reason why Ta Cha'er suffered such a heavy loss in the Battle of Zhuangshui was because he was chased and ambushed by the Eight Banners when he retreated!

"If Confucianism can really break the Heavenly Taoism, Great Mongolia will share China with Confucianism!" Kublai Khan paused word by word. Slowly said what Yao Shu and Liu Bingzhong wanted to hear the most. "Co-China" means sharing interests. And sharing China with Confucianism means that the future Great Yuan will attach the same importance to Confucianism as the Great Song Dynasty and give preferential treatment to Confucianism. Confucianism in the north will be able to replace the Han marquis and become the right-hand man of the Great Mongols in governing the Central Plains. And Yao Shu and Liu Bingzhong are naturally the future ministers of Dayuan!

However, if he wanted to eat the painting cake that Kublai Khan took out, Yao Shu and Liu Bingzhong, the two great Confucians, had to find a way to break Chen Daxian's heavenly way first.

Liu Bingzhong bowed and saluted: "There is Your Majesty's words, the minister should go to Liaodong to argue with the thief Chen in person to break his way!" ”

Yao Shu reminded from the side: "Liu Zicong went to Liaodong, which should break Chen Dexing's fallacy and heresy. But it is also necessary to guard against Chen Dexing's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and if he can't say it, he will use the knife. ”

Kublai Khan nodded. No matter how correct the reason is, it can't withstand the big blade of beheading!

Liu Bingzhong sneered: "If I go alone, of course Chen Dexing will use it." However, Chen Dexing established the Taoist religion of heaven and spread the doctrine of false reasoning. To bewitch the world is to destroy the way of Confucius and Mencius and to break the teachings of the Buddha and the Taoist. I should unite the north and the south. The three religions are powerful, and they go to Liaodong to argue with them! ”

"Dialectics" is a common means of religious struggle in the Central Plains in history. The three religions of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism have debated the Dharma many times in history. And Kublai Khan himself organized a Buddhist and Taoist debate a few years ago. Finally, it was the Uszang Tantric Venerable King Phags-pa who quoted the Taoist scriptures to refute the Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect, thus allowing Buddhism to replace Taoism. He became the head of the Han religions in the north.

Chen Dexing's Tiandaoism is a new religion, and Chen Dexing himself is not a philosopher or religious scholar, so of course he can't make a lot of complex, complete, and rigorous religious theories. Because of the long-term suppression of the imperial court, Mingjiao has become a religion at the bottom of the people, so it naturally abandoned the complex doctrine of scripture and righteousness, and adopted simplistic and superstitious methods, with demagogy of the low-level common people as the main means of preaching. Although there are many believers, they are not the opponents of Confucian scholars when it comes to dialectics and lectures.

Of course, Chen Dexing could also adopt the method of smashing dishes and playing tricks, killing all the Confucian scholars who went to argue with him, and using knives and swords to spread his heavenly Taoism. But in this way, how will Confucian scholars in the world view Chen Dexing? How will the hundreds of millions of believers of the three schools of Confucianism and Taoism view the Heavenly Taoism? If Confucianism, monks, and Taoist priests all over the world speak ill of Chen Dexing together, he will be a thief who everyone can condemn!

Moreover, this debate against the Heavenly Dao cult was initiated by Kublai Khan, the Great Yuan Emperor! For Da Yuan to defend Confucianism and oppose the way of heaven is to put Da Yuan above the orthodox position in the world! At that time, who can say that Dayuan, who obeys Confucianism and maintains Confucianism, is a foreign Hulu?

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan nodded heavily: "This is a great good!" Breaking the cult and propagating the righteous law is the unshirkable responsibility of my great yuan! This time, not only Confucianism will send people, but also the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. The Shi family let the king of the Eight Si Pa come forward, and the Taoist invited the Qing and real people to come out. ”

The future Emperor Dayuan paused, and added, "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, Liu Qing should not take it lightly, or let Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing sneak to Liaodong and Goryeo to explore the reality of Taoism tomorrow." ”

……

"Cuixian, why are you still frowning during the New Year? Could it be that he was worried that Tang Ming would be bad in the future? ”

The person who was talking to Li Cuixian was an old man who was a little older, in his sixties, dressed in a Confucian scarf, with a long white face and long hair, and holding a feather fan. It's a bit like a reincarnation. This old man is Li Cuixian's grandfather, and at the same time he is the mastermind of Yidu Li Pu. His name is Wang Wentong.

Li Cuixian arrived at Penglai Port under the military control of Yidu on December 25 by boat, and then returned to Yidu City in the central part of the Shandong Peninsula by horse-drawn carriage. It was December 28 when I arrived. At this time, Li Pu had just returned to Yidu from Jinan for the New Year. After the New Year, I will prepare to go from Yidu to Jinan. There are also rumors that Li Pu will soon accept the persuasion of his subordinates, that is, the emperor's throne, and openly play the banner of restoring the Tang Dynasty!

Speaking of this history that Chen Dexing has tampered with, it is really quite confusing. Li Pu, who was besieged by Kublai Khan in Jinan and waiting for death after a short time of rebellion, now looks like a good situation, steadily expanding his territory. And he didn't hug the unreliable thin leg of the Southern Song Dynasty anymore, but united with Chen Dexing to play the banner of restoring the Tang Dynasty - his surname is Li, so he naturally wants to cling to Li Yuan and Li Shimin. So the banner of "Datang". It looks like it won't be long before the Central Plains will be restored!

And Chen Dexing was packaged by Mo Yingniang as the king of the world, pretending to be a god and a ghost, and he also fooled the wild Jurchens outside the gate. His kingdom is naturally "Daming...... However, the name of the "Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty" always sounds a little twisted.

As for Kublai Khan, he has now arrived in Jingzhao Mansion and is planning to be the emperor of China, and the name of the country is said to be "Da Yuan", which is taken from the "Book of Changes".

And the Great Song in the south. Although it has undergone a change in Lin'an, it has now become a situation of separating feudal towns. But the country is still there after all, and if you look at the map, it seems that the shape is better than in history. Maybe there will be a day when ZTE will come back.

All of China. There was a strange situation of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties!

And among these four countries, judging from the current shape, the one with the greatest chance to win the world is the one established by Li Pu. It was a country that was named "Eastern Tang" by later generations.

Because the area where the Eastern Tang Dynasty is located is the Central Plains where the world can be owned. With Qilu as the foundation, the left embraces Xu Pi. Take Jizhou on the right and arrive in Yanyu before. Moreover, Li Pu has been in business for many years, has a deep foundation in Shandong, and has close contacts with the northerners. At that time, the Central Plains will not be able to pass on the rules.

In addition, Li Pu also has a big advantage, that is, he has won the heart of the Han Confucianism in the north. Because Li Pu had already renovated the examination institute and the Temple of Literature that had been abandoned for many years in the jurisdiction of the district, and recruited Confucian students through the guò examination—that is, Li Pu partially restored the imperial examination in the jurisdiction of Yidu. Moreover, he himself and several sons are proficient in Confucianism, and the mastermind Wang Wentong is a Jinshi of the former Jin, and he is a great Confucian in the north.

If the Eastern Tang Dynasty could defeat Kublai Khan and have the Central Plains, it would immediately be supported by the Confucian scholars in the north, and even the Southern Confucianism would not oppose this "Confucian dynasty". As long as the Confucian scholars in the north and south recognized Li Pu as Li Tang, they had the merit of expelling the Tartars. Then with the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, there is nothing that can't be done.

If Li Pu really came to this point, then Chen Dexing's Ming Kingdom might only be blocked in Liaodong and Goryeo, and it would be difficult to have a chance to get involved in the Central Plains. Therefore, Wang Wentong saw Li Cuixian's eyebrows furrowed, so he asked.

When Li Cuixian heard this, he just smiled bitterly: "Tang Ming's friendship is not something to worry about right now, because Kublai Khan is not dead yet!" And it has already caught fire and dropped Ali Buge...... Such characters, with hundreds of thousands of Mongolian elites, are what grandfather and father need to worry about. She turned her head and looked at Wang Wentong seriously, "Grandpa has any clever plan to break Kublai Khan's Central Plains?" ”

Wang Wentong nodded confidently and said: "Naturally, the name is determined first, then the hearts of the people, then the Central Plains, and finally Yanjing in the north." ”

Li Cuixian frowned, savoring Wang Wentong's words: "Determine the name first...... That's Daddy going to be the emperor! After receiving people's hearts...... Is Daddy going to open a bachelor's degree? ”

The matter of admitting officials through the guò examination has always been on the territory of Yidu Xianggong. Unlike other Han marquis, the Yidu Li family was born out of the Red Jacket Army at the end of the Jin Dynasty, which was a peasant uprising armed force with the purpose of restoring the Han family in the Central Plains. Later, although they had to take refuge in Mongolia for various reasons, the Red Jacket Army did not forget their purpose. And Li Pu himself is the Li family in Longxi everywhere, and he claims to be after the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the imperial examination system that began in the Sui and Tang dynasties and was introduced into Yidu in the Song Dynasty.

However, the scale of the Yidu Imperial Examination in the past was not too large, and it was only a local examination to admit civil officials, and there was no name for showmanship, promotion, and jinshi. The shape of the exam is also relatively simple, that is, I made a paper in Yidu Gongyuan, and then I took it to Li Pu to meet him, and then sent it to a sesame official. But it was such a small upward channel that integrated the gentry in Yidu into the Li group, so that Li Pu's rule in Yidu could be stabilized, and he could gradually expand his power.

The main purpose of this imperial examination system was never to win talents for the country, but only to provide a channel for the local gentry to rise and share the political power. With this channel, the local forces and the central government have common interests, and the central government is easily supported by the local forces.

Therefore, Kublai Khan, who felt that the Mongol armed forces had been unable to maintain his rule over the Han land, wanted to open the imperial examination, and Li Pu, who was bent on restoring the Tang Dynasty, also wanted to officially open the imperial examination after he ascended the throne as emperor. And Chen Dexing and his son also worked on the imperial examination system in the Southern Song Dynasty, and wanted to use Wu Daiwen to support a group of warrior gentry who supported the Chen regime to replace the literati doctors who supported the Southern Song Dynasty.

Tang Yuanming and the three parties, at this time, all set their sights on the imperial examination!

"Grandpa, does my father want to open a civil or martial arts?" Li Cuixian asked this question, in fact, under the influence of Chen Dexing. She now also believes that the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty was due to the fact that the scholars were noble and martial.

"Naturally, it is both civil and military." Wang Wentong smiled and stroked his beard, "The northern land is not as good as the southern dynasty, and the scribes who have no power to tie the chicken are not much stronger than calling Huazi, what are you doing to win them over?" ”

Since the fall of the Jurchen Iron Hoof in the Northland, there has been no noble and light martial arts, and it has always been noble and light. Moreover, the social order has always been inferior to that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the local wealthy families practiced martial arts to protect themselves. This was especially true after Mongolia entered the Central Plains. For example, Yan Zhongji (literati, artist, Dongping Road marching 10,000 households), Zhang Hongfan and others are both civil and military. Even Wang Wentong also has some martial arts and is proficient in military strategy.

Those Confucian students in the north who only have a belly of literature and no martial arts have a hard time. Of course, Li Pu would not go to them for no reason...... In history, when the Great Song Dynasty began to tweet about the noble and martial arts, the world had already been decided, and only the Khitan was based on the sixteen states of Yanyun, and if it could not be recovered, it would not have much impact on the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

And now is the time to fight for the world, it is necessary to open a science and take scholars, but also to favor martial artists, on the one hand, you can win over the wealthy families in the troubled times, and on the other hand, you can also select all-round talents in civil and military affairs - in this troubled times, you still have to use talents!

Therefore, the rules of the imperial examination game proposed by the Chen family father and son of "taking warriors by force" were naturally adopted by Li Pu and Wang Wentong.

Li Cuixian's brows still hadn't unfolded, and his father Li Pu's steps to rebel and become the emperor didn't seem to be a problem, steady and steady, unfolding step by step. But the slowness of action is still worrying. could have taken advantage of the internal strife in Mongolia to attack Yanjing to determine the overall situation. As a result, Kublai Khan killed Ali Buge, and Li Pu still did not dispatch in Shandong. The opportunity was lost in vain, Kublai Khan had already "moved" the capital to Jingzhaofu, and now he has taken Yanjing, and it is impossible to decide a big deal in one fell swoop.

The general trend of the Tang and Yuan countries fighting each other in the Central Plains has become a result! The Song and Ming dynasties can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. (To be continued......)
