Indoctrination must be top-down, and leniency and severity should be just right.

It is said that during the reign of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, there was a large family, nine generations in the same house, and the number of people in the clan was as many as 900. And such a big family, but rarely have disputes, but get along with each other in an extremely harmonious atmosphere, which also makes the reputation of this family more and more spread. This matter later spread to the ears of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, and once he came to this big family under the guise of a Taoist priest, wanting to meet the patriarch who governed the family well.

"I'm sure you heard this story when you were in school." The corners of Zhang Wang's mouth opened and he smiled slightly: "Outside the circle, it is said that Tang Gaozong saw Zhang Gongyi, and the big family of nine hundred people is also the Zhang family, but there has always been another version in our circle, that is, Li Zhiweifu visited Zhuge Bagua Village privately, and the person who received him back then was the patriarch of the Zhuge family." ”

Tang Muzhi and Tu Junfang looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was almost clear, there were two sets of historical views inside and outside the circle, and the history outside the circle was not necessarily unwashed, and the history in the circle was also full of prejudiced fabrications. So Zhang Wang said, the story, just listen to it.

It is said that Li Zhi pretended to be a Taoist and entered Zhuge Bagua Village, and the person who came to receive him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, handsome and graceful, and after having a conversation with him, he found that this person was Zhuge Yan, the head of Zhuge Village.

In this regard, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was very puzzled, one of them was that he came to visit this time in disguise and did not notify anyone, why did he attract the Zhuge patriarch to greet him as soon as he came? The second is that the people in charge of the family are generally older and respectable people, how can they let a half-old child like Zhuge Yan run the family?

Seeing that the dignified Zhuge family master was just a young man, Li Zhi deliberately had a little more sharpness in his words, and asked some difficult questions, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Yan, who was fourteen years old, had no timidity, and answered Li Zhi's questions fluently, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and respectfully invited him into the main room.

Li Zhi wanted to test Zhuge Yan, Zhuge Yan wanted to knock the gong, and the more than 100 dogs in the entire family all ran over by themselves, but none of the dogs were eating at will, and only after all the dogs arrived, they started together. This incident surprised the emperor, and he didn't expect Zhuge Yan to even manage the dogs in the family so well.

After Li Zhi went back, he felt a little more unhappy in his heart, after all, as the emperor, he went to a courtier's house for a private visit, but he showed himself the scene of a dog eating.

Two years later, Li Zhi recalled this incident and decided to go to Zhuge Village again, this time he arrived as the emperor, wanting to see how the young and wise Zhuge Yan would deal with him this time.

"Minister Zhuge Feng, knock to see Your Majesty."

The young man's clear and bright voice came from the ground, and Li Zhi looked down and saw a thin young man kneeling at his feet.

"You look up!"

Zhuge Feng raised his head, Li Zhi was surprised to see that this young man was not Zhuge Yan who received him back then, but he had long forgotten Zhuge Yan's name, and just made it clear that Weifu had visited Zhuge Village privately, and Zhuge Feng respectfully explained to him after hearing this:

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, Zhuge Yan is the previous family, and he married his wife and stepped down as early as last year."

Li Zhi was puzzled, if Zhuge Yan was smart and clever and had outstanding management ability, so it would be enough to let him manage the whole village, why was this patriarch still a young man?

Zhuge Feng explained to Li Zhi: "Before getting married, young people who have just grown up under the strict ancestral teachings do not have too many human bonds, have the most energy, and do things the most fairly, so the Zhuge family has always been a young man's family, and over the years, they have never violated this precept." ”

After listening to this, Li Zhi remembered that the relationship between the monarchs, ministers, and subjects of the court and the central government had long been complicated, and human feelings were like an inescapable snare that was constantly weakening and balancing his own power and interests, and these things had already made him tired of coping, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion at the moment.

It's just that Li Zhi still has doubts about this way of governance, and he also tried it with Zhuge Feng with a little difficulty.

Li Zhi ordered someone to find a sour pear, a good sweet pear, and asked Zhuge Feng to distribute the pear to 900 people in the family.

Zhuge Feng didn't say a word, he ate the sour pear alone, and instructed the clansmen to mash the short branches and kernels attached to the sweet pears and put them into the water tank, so that the whole clan could come up and down to drink the pear soup.

Li Zhi was very appreciative of Zhuge Feng's method, but he still asked Zhuge Feng why he did it.

Zhuge Feng respectfully explained to Li Zhi: "The sweet and sour pears given by His Majesty, the sour pears are for the ministers to understand that as the head of a clan, they should not be lax and slack in their family affairs all day long; Sweet pear is a gift from His Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, do not forget the people of Li, and the ministers are grateful. ”

……

"The truth of the story is not clear, but the matter of the young people in Zhuge Village, this system has indeed been retained in history for a while, but now it is not so exaggerated, there is a meeting of clan elders in the village, and it is rare to see a deacon at the age of Zhuge Yu." After Zhang Wang finished speaking, he smashed his mouth and looked at Tang Muzhi.

"Today's young people don't want to see this set anymore, and in recent years, they can feel more and more that there are fewer and fewer people who are really refining Qi, and they are busy with their own career ideals like ordinary people."

There was a little interesting look in Tu Junfang's eyes, Zhang Wang didn't seem to want to discuss more on the issue of why Tang Muzhi was not led out of the three corpses, perhaps because he was an outsider present, so he deliberately pulled the topic to Zhuge Village.

However, Tu Junfang is not an uninteresting person, since people don't want to discuss it with him, he won't interject, and for Tang Muzhi's situation, although he has no conditions to verify it, he can also guess several possibilities in his heart - that topic is a bit amazing, and it is not easy to judge himself.

……

Now the lives of the Gu boys are on the right track, but the range of activities is still within the scope of the Tang Sect, and they can't go out, but after this period of running-in and adaptation, most of them are not afraid of coming into contact with the living, and the Tang Sect has been injected with such a fresh blood, plus Yang Lie, who is the pillar of the Tang Sect, not only did not die in the process of competing for the source of the Qi body like the original, but also sat in the old position.

It is foreseeable that as long as the Tang Sect does not encounter any subversive catastrophes, it will inevitably be the first banner for the rise of the old school in China in the future, and it may not even be the same as Zheng, the Central Plains Buddhism, and even all four schools of power to contend with.

However, Mu Xiu was destroyed by Lin Feng, and Tang Muzhi got the news that there was a traitor in the company and that Zhang Huaiyi's death information was all leaked, but Yang Lie made an unexpected decision here.
