"The king's area is not wide now, there are not enough sergeants, and there is only one way to die if he uses swords and soldiers in vain."

Tao Yuanzong said in a deep voice, as if he had seen the day when the White Night Soldiers were defeated and died, and the country was ruined.

"Why?"

Bai Ye asked in an eager tone, pretending to be curious and wanting to know.

Tao Yuanzong was very serious, his tone was serious, his movements were meticulous, and he did not return to the arrogance when he entered the door, it was completely like thinking from the perspective of Bai Ye, he said: "Don't you know that the king is very dangerous now!" ”

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Bai Ye, and when he saw Bai Ye's thoughtful face, he felt a little more proud in his heart, twisted his beard, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and continued to ask: "How is the king's land now compared to my lord?" ”

Bai Ye shook his head and replied with a slight sigh: "It's not as good! ”

"What about the population in the king's territory?"

"It's not as good as that!"

"Under the banner of the king, can there be a master and righteous person to vote?"

Bai Ye shook his head again, as if he was very regretful and puzzled: "No! ”

"That's exactly the case, the king's land is not wide, the people are not many, the talent is sparse, how can it not be dangerous to use swords and soldiers in vain?"

Tao Yuanzong looked sure, Bai Ye didn't speak, pretended to frown and ponder, and let this person continue to play tricks.

I saw that he looked respectful again, bowed to the north with his hand, and said: "When the situation is today, Mongolia is tyrannical, and a family is independent of the north, my lord Yang Gong cares about the safety of the world, and Xingyi Shi rejects Mongolia and turns to the four fields. Feeling alone and tired, the Lord made an alliance and called on the world to attack Mongolia. Now, if the king does not join the alliance and does not attack Mongolia, but takes the land of the Lord, is it not against the great righteousness? ”

"The Lord has ambition in his heart and strategy in his belly. But in five years, the land is so big, more than several times that of the king, the population is so large, the city is shoulder to shoulder, and the crowd is like the sea. There are also high-ranking people and righteous people who come to vote for each other, and the main court guests are like clouds, and the guests are full. In such a prosperous matter, the Lord is still subtle, walking on thin ice, making peace with his neighbors, making appointments and taking Meng, and not daring to act rashly. ”

"I have heard that the king does not admire the royal way, nor does he govern benevolently. In the territory, educate the recalcitrant people to learn the left way, cultivate strange skills and skillful work, and abandon the Confucianism and the words of the sages and saints. This is one of them! ”

"When the king is in the territory, he abuses the people's power and wantonly builds civil engineering and water conservancy, doesn't he know that the people's power is limited and needs to be recuperated? The second is also! ”

"The law in the territory of the king is strict, and if he makes a slight mistake, he will be punished, don't you know that the law exists between people, and the law is harsh, causing the disaster of Qin II's destruction of the country and the extinction of the species? This is also the third! ”

"What is the reason why the king treats the peddlers and pawns under his rule as the same as the scholars and squires? Since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce, Shi An will rule the world, and unrest will be chaotic in the world. Fourth, too! ”

"I heard people say in the house, the school run by the king, women can also study, and those who are successful can become ministers and become officials in the court. Don't you know that in the Tang Dynasty, a court woman ****, cholera in the world, became a matter of Si Chen. The king wants to follow the example of the previous dynasty? This is also the fifth! ”

"There are these five points, but the king does not listen to them, does not change them, but mishears slander, and takes advantage of my lord's northern expedition to Mongolia, and raises troops to invade the land of my lord, undoubtedly treacherous, hitting stones with eggs, and bringing about his own destruction, when my lord leads his troops back to fight, with the help of all his allies, is not the king in danger?"

Tao Yuanzong's words were the first to say, his tone was impassioned, quite pointing, and he talked about the demeanor of the world while talking and laughing.

Bai Ye and the person serving the tea were stunned, Bai Ye opened his mouth, although he knew that this guy was talking nonsense, but listening, it seemed that there was some truth.

Bai Ye stood up from his position, with a look of shock and disbelief, walked in front of Tao Yuanzong in a few steps, and took Tao Yuanzong's hand, his face was eager, and his voice was sincere and revealed a little panic, "Please save me, sir!" ”

His eyes were earnest, staring straight at Tao Yuanzong, that action, that demeanor, that tone, as if he was really in danger, and asked Tao Yuanzong for advice.

The man outside the house with water narrowed his eyes and bent them into crescent moons, and she smiled, knowing that her son was teasing the lobbyist.

Simply, she didn't send tea in, just stood outside and eavesdropped to see what tricks her son was playing.

"This ......"

Tao Yuanzong stroked his beard with his hand, pretending to groan, his face was entangled, he wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. In fact, he was already happy in his heart, thinking that Bai Ye was fooled by his words.

"Please teach me, sir!"

Bai Ye did a full set of plays, and he didn't care about any dignity, he bent down and bowed to the end.

This greatly satisfied Tao Yuanzong's vanity, and he reached out to help Bai Ye.

Standing in the white night, he didn't go back to the main seat to sit down, but took Tao Yuanzong's hand to sit down on two chairs, and the two sat on an equal footing, which made Tao Yuanzong even more satisfied.

Sitting on the chair, Tao Yuanzong began to think about how to further fool Bai Ye, but the contempt for Bai Ye in his heart became stronger and stronger. thought in his heart, this guy really didn't know how to learn, and he was a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, so he couldn't find the north with a few arguments, and he begged someone for advice.

Although he secretly despised it, he couldn't show the slightest bit on the surface, he pretended to be contemplative for a while, and under the expectant gaze of Bai Ye, he said: "Although the situation of the king is critical, he has not reached a desperate situation. Tao is not talented, and came up with three strategies for the king. ”

"Oh, the three strategies? Sir, please come quickly. ”

Tao Yuanzong no longer pretended to be a gesture, stood up from the chair, paced back and forth, carrying one hand on his back and twisting his beard with the other, and said with a smile: "First, the king should immediately recall the troops that invaded the territory of my lord, return the occupied city, and issue a clear text to spread to the world and apologize to my lord." My lord is generous and merciful, and has the air of an elder, and he will not worry about the king. ”

Tao Yuanzong is still a little self-aware, he understands that the main purpose of his coming here is to fool Bai Ye to withdraw from the army, if he wants to pay any more compensation for the land, it will be self-defeating.

"The second is to respect the virtuous and the virtuous, and it is a good thing for the king to open a school and educate the people, but the school library should give priority to the doctrine of the sage. The words and writings of the sage are all the truths of the ages, immortal for centuries, and the scriptures for governing the world and the foundation of the herdsmen. The king is also a person with high hopes, such as respecting the virtuous and valuable, showing Confucianism, and treating the squires well, there will inevitably be high-ranking people and talents to vote, and the power will be prosperous, and the foundation will be vast. ”

Bai Ye frowned, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

"The third is that the king wants to admire the king's way, benevolent government, there are saints and sages in ancient times, all of them are lenient to others, and rule the world with loyalty and filial piety etiquette. Now that the king has strict laws and abuses the people's power, the people have long been complaining, and sooner or later the people will not be able to make a living. When the time comes, it will be too late for the king to regret it. ”

Tao Yuanzong talked eloquently, and to sum up, there are actually only a few. First, he wanted to retire from the army in the white night and apologize to Yang Yuanhong's department; the second is to respect the scholars, give the Confucian scholars a corresponding superior status, advocate Confucianism, and abolish those strange skills and ingenious learning, which in the eyes of Confucianism, have no effect; Third, it is necessary to implement benevolent governance, change the law, rule by man, rather than the rule of law, advocate Confucian loyalty and filial piety etiquette, and govern the country with three outlines and five constants.

Bai Ye smiled, Tao Yuanzong turned around, he didn't see Bai Ye's voice of approval, he was a little strange, and when he was about to speak, he heard Bai Ye say: "Mr. Tao, Tao Messenger, I have to correct you a few problems first." ”

"First, I'm not a king, I'm the most powerful administrator and the highest military governor. It's a bit complicated to explain, and I don't think you can understand it. ”

Bai Ye smiled, his tone was flat, but Tao Yuanzong heard a kind of mockery, and said in his heart, "What do you mean I don't understand?" Are you trying to say I'm stupid? ”

No matter what Tao Yuanzong thought, Bai Ye stretched out a finger and said, "Second, my territory seems to be about the same size as your territory, and my population seems to be much larger than yours. So, please don't treat me as a fool, just because you were born a few years earlier doesn't mean you're smarter than me. ”

Bai Ye shook his outstretched fingers, Tao Yuanzong's face was embarrassed, and his face was full of shame.

"Third, your so-called benevolent sages and virtuous people are all old-fashioned rhetoric, without the slightest hint of novelty. The ancients, that is, the sages you are talking about, lived in a different era and environment than ours, and their words were not all right, and we should take the essence of them and discard the dross, rather than receiving them all. In the world, no one is a sage, no one is perfect, and the perfect and noble ancestors are all sealed by later generations. ”

Tao Yuanzong's body trembled, his fingers pointed at the white night, and he kept shivering. He was angry, he read Confucian books and listened to Confucian words since he was a child, and his teachers also taught them how great the sages were and how the holy teachers were right.

But now, someone told him that the Confucian sages were also mortals, and what they said was not all right. How could he not be angry?

"You, you..., you ......"

Tao Yuanzong's face suddenly turned pale, and he was just in the clouds, talking about the world casually, and completely flipping the state of one side of the forces in his hands.

"Mr. Tao, do you want to know why I haven't done anything outside for five years?"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, as soon as these words came out, not only Tao Yuanzong was attracted, but even outside the door, Huang Rong, who was originally serving tea and water, pricked up her ears, and she was also curious.

Two years ago, Huang Rong went to Bai Ye with Guo Jing and Ye Luqi for Zhou Botong's affairs, and since then, she has stayed by Bai Ye's side to help Bai Ye deal with some political affairs.

In the past, she felt that her son's strength was insufficient, so she did not send troops to attack the surroundings, but when she entered the White Night Force to understand, she found that this was not the case. On the contrary, the power of the White Night is extremely strong, although the statement is not obvious, but those weapons and equipment, the army after strict training, is enough to sweep the surroundings.

Therefore, she was very suspicious, but because of the vision of the times, she couldn't think of what this was for?
