Chapter 293; Shattered

In the next half month, Huo Junyao did not teach him the knowledge in books like Prince Wenruo's previous teachers.

Instead, he took him around every day, not only in the hot spring villa, but also took him to several nearby villages and towns.

He didn't say anything specifically, just let him stand on a high place and watch the pedestrians coming and going.

At first, Prince Wenruo was still a little incomprehensible, but as he continued to observe every day, there were still some vague things in his heart, which seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.

"Cousin Zhaode, Wen Ruo still doesn't understand a little."

In today's hot spring villa, the half-month period of Prince Wenruo has arrived, and he will leave and return to the capital in the afternoon.

So he didn't go out today, and at this time he still didn't figure out too much, Huo Junyao took him around to see the intention of pedestrians.

"Before I answer you, I want to ask you a question."

"Cousin Zhaode, excuse me, Wen Ruo listens."

Seeing this little Zhengtai's serious and old-fashioned appearance, Huo Junyao felt a little helpless, this guy is only ten years old, look at this little expression, and the way he looks all day long.

How do you feel that in the future this will be an old pedant?

Shaking her head and throwing these messes out of her head, she looked at Prince Wenruo and asked; "What is the Emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Wen Ruo's pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly arched his hand; "Cousin Zhaode, you can't say this, how can your father evaluate it at will?"

In a society where imperial power is supreme, this emperor is not something that can be said at will.

"The emperor is also a human being, other people can say it, why can't the emperor say it?"

"Don't talk to me about this, answer my question quickly, don't you want to know the real effect of the half month that you seem to be a passerby?"

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke; "The emperor is the lord of a country."

He really didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to evaluate it indiscriminately, and the education he received since he was a child did not allow him to say anything about the emperor.

What's more, he is different from others, the current emperor is still his father, how dare he evaluate him as a son?

Hearing him give such a sentence after being silent for a long time, Huo Junyao was speechless, but he also knew that this little guy was poisoned by a lot of decadent Confucianism.

He no longer continued to ask him, but spoke for himself; "The emperor is the lord of a country, and this country, to put it bluntly, is a super-sized home."

"To put it simply, a country is compared to a family, and the emperor is the head of the family."

"So what is the main one of these families going to do?"

"The first thing to do is to protect the family, and then to seek a stable and prosperous life for the family, which is the responsibility of the head of the family."

Prince Wenruo nodded, which he could understand if he accepted it.

For Huo Junyao's analogy, he also thinks it is very appropriate, isn't the emperor the biggest parent in this country?

And isn't it also to make the family better and make the family rich?

"Our Yu Dynasty has always said that the emperor and the scholars rule the world together."

"Do you think that's right?"

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo nodded and replied almost without contemplation; "There's nothing wrong with that, it's been true throughout the ages."

However, what was waiting for him was Huo Junyao's sneer.

"What has been the case throughout the ages? Who told you that? ”

Seeing her mocking tone, Prince Wenruo frowned slightly, isn't it written like this in the books of the Heart Dao?

Isn't that right?

As if seeing what he was thinking, Huo Junyao pursed his lips disdainfully; "Who wrote the book?"

At this question, Prince Wenruo was silent.

Books were naturally written by those who read, and those who read were among the members of the noble clan.

"I don't deny the importance of readers, they also play a vital role in the governance of a country."

"But isn't that too much to exalt themselves?"

"They only say that the emperor rules the world with the scholars, so I ask you, what about the others? Where did you go? ”

"Isn't anyone else important?"

"If there are no farmers to grow the land, then there will be no food, and if a country has no food, what will it become?"

"Aren't they important? If you don't have food, do you expect those who read books to fill their stomachs with books all day long? ”

"In addition to the peasants, there are also merchants, and if there are no merchants, how can the goods flow between the north and the south?"

"There are also craftsmen, if there are no craftsmen, how can the books in the hands of the readers, pen, ink, paper and inkstone come from?"

"Just because they know a few words and can say a few words, their status is second only to the Son of Heaven and above everyone, do you think it is reasonable?"

On the other side, Huo Junyao's series of inquiries, Prince Wenruo was stunned.

The mind was shocked like never before.

However, thinking about her words, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The peasants farmed and fed the people of the world with the grain they obtained, the merchants made business convenient for the people everywhere, and the things made by the craftsmen made for the convenience of all the people in the world.

What did the reader do?

It is true that some scholars are very useful in the operation of the imperial court, but why is the status of scholars so high?

They are all contributing to the people of the world, why is the status of only scholars so transcendent?

"Shinong industry and commerce, this is a rule that has been established in ancient times a long time ago."

"You have also read a lot of ancient books, so let me ask you, when did the scholar of the Shinong industry and commerce become a scholar of the scholar family?"

"I remember that in the past, the officials in the agriculture and industry should refer to those officials of the imperial court, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Wenruo's ears were like thunder.

Yes, he has read a lot of ancient books, and it is very common for scholars to become scholars, but since when has this scholar become a scholar, which originally referred to officials, and when has it all been referred to as a scholar?

It was as if he had discovered a big deception.

That's right, the big scam, a shocking scam in which a scholar distorts the facts in order to improve his status.

"How so? How so? ”

At this moment, Prince Wenruo felt that something seemed to be shattered.

"It's okay to do some planning for the sake of status, as long as the result is good, that's fine, but what has become of it now?"

"Scholars take advantage of this scam to look down on anyone."

"They can always say some ancient texts for their own benefit, but they don't know that the writers of these ancient texts are themselves, and the right to interpret them is also their own."

"Do you think that's appropriate?"

Prince Wenruo is completely stupid.

The impact was just too great.

However, Huo Junyao didn't care about him and continued; "Some scholars, relying on these means of deceiving the world, occupy most of the resources from above, and suppress those who are more useful."

"Eating the grain grown by the peasants, scolding the peasants for their roughness, enjoying the convenience brought by the merchants, but saying that the merchants are lowly, and at the same time using the things made by the craftsmen, what are the strange skills and tricks."
