Sure enough, more than a month later, Li Xiao received the news of Napoleon's defeat against Russia. The officers and men of the station were rendered ineffective by the bitter cold of Moscow, and were finally defeated by Kutuzov.

The defeat of 600,000 men wiped out the once invincible First Cavalry Corps of Mula.

After this war, France could no longer afford to be the hegemon. From the first power in the European continent, it has become a passerby who has been stepped on. Even a small place like Belgium dares to pull a tiger's whiskers.

It is conceivable that the Sixth Anti-French Coalition would quickly take shape at the instigation of the British. The army would then quickly defeat the devastated French army.

The aristocrats of Europe have never been nobles for the Napoleonic family. To this day, in England, Napoleon is still called a Corsican dwarf, or a Corsican monster.

For distant Europe, Li Xiao didn't have time to care. Now he has a headache to deal with!

Li Hao beat people, and the old man Sun Chengzong personally came to trouble Li Xiao and wanted to find Li Hao and apologize in person.

Beating Sun Zhijie didn't have such serious consequences, but this one is really qualified to let Lao Sun out.

"Although King Song is indecent, he is really the biological flesh and blood of Emperor Sizong. Your fourth brother broke the two legs of King Song, don't you say that you won't give an explanation to the courtiers of the world? ”

Lao Sun twisted his beard in his hand and asked Li Xiao angrily.

Isn't it just a broken prince? Although Zhu Youzhen's son is more noble, he can be regarded as a broken household. There is not much else in the Ming Dynasty, it is the prince Qiduo.

The king of single words and the king of two words, together there are as many as twenty-seven. Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are born everywhere, and there are millions of them.

During the Chongzhen period, these guys only received food and did not work, and they had become complete moths. Zhu Youzhen's treasury was so empty, he finally expropriated some silver, and he had to raise a large amount of silver taels for his relatives.

It can be said that these princes of the Zhu family are a major tumor of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao understands Sun Chengzong, as the loyal little brother of the Zhu family. Mr. Sun has served the Zhu family for decades, and he still has feelings for the Zhu family.

Now the son of the former boss has broken his legs, and out of morality, he naturally wants to come out to trouble the Li family. But the problem is ......, Li Xiao thinks that Zhu Cihong, a bastard, should be beaten. If you were there, it would only hurt more.

"Mr. Sun, as you know, Li Hao has been limping since his leg was broken. Don't talk short in front of the lame, this thing is in Quanjude in front of so many people to call the fourth cripple.

Mr. Sun, if I were there, his bones would be cold now. Can you still cry and run to your house to complain? "Others may care about the vassal king, but Li Xiao doesn't care.

There are twenty-seven vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, and there can't be more. One or two less is still a happy thing, and the people are most concerned about whether the salary has risen or not, and how much the bonus will be. Who cares if the prince will have one or two less!

"But after all, he is the son of Emperor Aizong, and according to the etiquette system, he is qualified to inherit the throne. In the eyes of the scholars, his status was very high. ”

"Inheriting the Great Unification? Mr. Sun, you can't say this too much. Let him inherit the unification, you ask those soldiers who have fought a hundred battles if they agree, you ask the workers in the factory if they agree, and then you ask the peasants in Zhili, Shanxi, Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan whether they agree?

He dared to say that he would inherit the throne and become the emperor, and countless people would go to demolish his Song palace tonight. A teenage doll doesn't understand anything, so she says to be an emperor. Do you think it's really their old Zhu family who has the final say? ”

Li Xiao mentioned the extreme contempt of the Zhu family!

This stems from the fact that Li Xiao recently looked through some secret files in the Ouchi, which are completely different from those sycophant historians who sang praises in the outer courts.

Take out the official history and compare it with the secret file, and you will understand what it means to be naïve on the outside and violent on the inside. What are those emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao knows too well.

Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun was superstitious about alchemy all day long. actually collected virgin essence blood for the Taoist priest to refine, so that a group of palace maids actually wanted to strangle the emperor at night.

There is also Jiajing, who is more superstitious and metaphysical, Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor who built a leopard room in the top private club in the capital, Zhu Jianshen, who married his nanny who has nothing to do, and Zhu Zhanji, who is keen on fighting crickets, can be regarded as a Taoist monarch compared with the previous ones.

is such a group of bastards, who have plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. The Ming Dynasty, which was supposed to be thriving, directly turned it into a place where starvation was everywhere, the people were not well fed and clothed, and they were constantly exploited by officials.

When it came to the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties, it was even more unbearable.

Zhu Yijun also carried out a major campaign and defeated the vicious Japanese people. defeated the sinister Yang Yinglong and defeated the unruly Bibai.

The external prestige of the country defeated the murderous enemy, and the internal security and social security ensured the territorial integrity of the country.

These last two, one appointed a eunuch to engage in a power struggle, and as a result, even tens of thousands of people in Nurhachi could not be defeated in the northeast. The other is even worse, the power struggle is in full swing, but the lives of the people are even more miserable.

Martial arts cannot be peaceful, and literature cannot govern the country. These bastards of the Zhu family should all be sent to fill the grave.

When Sun Chengzong heard Li Xiao say this, he was immediately shocked: "What are you going to do, do you want to be Zhu Wen?" ”

"What am I doing as Zhu Wen? Daming is very good now, and there is no need for major changes. A country's model has a strong inertia, and when it changes drastically, it can produce complex changes.

Some changes we can predict, but some we can't. This is a country with a population of more than 200 million, and the difficulty of managing is definitely beyond your imagination.

The Zhu family is respected in public in the eyes of scholars, and it is okay for you to say this ten years ago. But ten years have passed, and the children who have come out of schools around the country have entered the workplace.

Those who read the ways of Confucius and Mencius are gradually fading out of officialdom. Because the country no longer needs them, many times they are the force that blocks the country's progress.

Ten years ago, those Shilin figures in your mouth still had some local influence. But if you go to the countryside to see, the knowledge they have gained from reading the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives and studying the Eight Strands of Literature is far from enough to manage the place.

Now many grassroots officials have graduated from junior high school. The worst part is that you have to graduate from elementary school.

Are you really the imperial court in the past ten years, spending a mountain of silver coins for nothing? The birth of the school is fundamentally cutting off the road to promotion monopolized by scholars. ”

"Our ancestors used Confucianism to govern the country for thousands of years, and just now you also said that the country's policy will have inertia. Let me ask you, how much inertia has there been for thousands of years, and if you change rashly, you are not afraid that the country will fall into turmoil? ”

Sun Chengzong stared at Li Xiao directly, interrogating word by word.

"I'm not saying that I want to change Confucianism, but that I want Confucianism to change with the times. Confucianism is like a giant ship, I just want him to change course, not to let him continue sailing and hit the rocks.

It is true that Confucianism has governed our entire country for a thousand years, but like all ideas, Confucianism has its drawbacks. We must gradually make up for these shortcomings and make our nation greater.

Millennial Confucianism has armed our brains, and we have to arm our hands with other things. The soldiers had sharper weapons in their hands, the workers had more powerful machinery in their hands, and the peasants had more useful tools in their hands.

Only by constantly strengthening ourselves can we always stand proudly among the nations of the world. Li Xiao's words were sonorous and powerful.

From Sun Chengzong's questioning, Li Xiao understood that Zhu Cihong, that idiot, how could he work for Sun Chengzong's master. The real purpose of the old guy is that he is afraid that he will completely depose Confucianism and make the most fundamental subversion of the civilization of the Chinese nation.

Aixin Jueluo people settled in the world, and they still know how to respect Confucius and Mencius. A standard Han and Miao descendant, of course, will not completely overturn thousands of years of cultural accumulation.

I am just trying to make some changes in Confucianism to adapt to this era.

Sun Chengzong was obviously relieved, and the local grassroots officials in recent years have gradually been replaced by students who graduated from modern schools. Although their political skills are inferior to those of those old officials, their level of knowledge is incomparable to those officials who have been familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics since childhood and have relied on the Bagu Literature Examination.

Since last year, there has been a massive disarmament of the military. Many officers were transferred to local positions and served as officials at various levels. These people are all from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

These guys who smell of blood all over their bodies are naturally those who are old and dare not confront them head-on. Plus those school graduates, naturally close to these people.

Naturally, they became allies!

As a result, those grassroots officials were unlucky, and many had to resign and retire. Even if you can persevere, you will only be waiting to die in a marginal position.

If it is said that in the past, Li Xiao only controlled the power at the central level. By now, Li Xiao has begun to seize local leadership. And all the way is unstoppable!

The Liao army and the school are like two clumps of yeast. Every moment will send new talents to Li Xiao to replace those Donglin scholars who used to govern the place.

The current Shilin has actually completely sunk. They no longer have a say in politics, and they can only howl in those few colleges with few students, brushing off their presence.

"Alright! I'm relieved when you say that. ”

got a positive answer from Li Xiao's mouth, Sun Chengzong nodded, and Zhu Cihong's matter was not even mentioned. A fool who can't see the situation clearly, and only knows that he sits on the family tree and waits for death. You can't stand up for him!
