Chapter 423: The Dispute over Taoism

After Li You returned to the Li Mansion, he went to Li Si for the first time, bowed and saluted: "Father, the child is back." ”

Li Si looked at Li You and said in surprise: "The talk is over so soon?"

Li You replied with a wry smile: "After talking, the child thinks that he can't compare to that Lin Ze, and he has made a condition that the child can hardly refuse." ”

Li Si frowned slightly when he heard this, "What conditions can make you so out of shape?

Li You shook his head and said: "The child didn't dare to agree easily, and he shirked it to his father, I'm afraid that his father needs to talk to him again." As for what conditions......"

Li You paused, took a deep breath and said: "The Li family is the marquis, hereditary replacement, and passed down from generation to generation. ”

Hearing this, Li Si sneered and said, "What guarantee does he have for the generations of princes of the Li family? Even if Hu Hai succeeds to the throne, can he really do anything wrong?"

Li Youzheng replied: "Reform and restructuring, add one level to the eighteenth-level title, but it can be hereditary." Father thinks that the people of the world will support or oppose it?"

Li Si's face became serious at this time, Hu Hai really wants to throw out this proposal, I am afraid that no one in the world's powerful families will oppose it, who doesn't want to be a prince of Wandai?

I thought that the other party was just empty words and white teeth, and made promises indiscriminately, but now that I see that the words of restructuring have been spoken, and the feasibility is extremely great, Li Si can't help but be a little moved.

"Didn't you blame your father for the matter, go and call him over, and let him have a good talk with him," Li Si made a decision immediately.

Li You hurriedly took someone to the Lin Mansion and informed Lin Ze of the matter.

Lin Ze felt a little surprised, Li You's previous performance clearly revealed the meaning of wanting to welcome and refuse, and sitting on the ground to raise the price.

Lin Ze's price is very large, and he doesn't mind that the other party asks for a more ruthless price, as long as Hu Hai can take the position and pay a price, it is nothing at all, what he is afraid of is that the Li family does not want a price.

He originally thought that Li Si would have to dry him for a few days, and then open his mouth with a lion on the general trend, but he didn't expect that not long after Li Yougang left, he came back with Li Si's invitation.

Lin Ze immediately followed Li You to the Li Mansion and met Li Si in the Li Mansion living room.

"Meet the Prime Minister," Lin Ze bowed.

Li Si nodded slightly, waved his hand to disperse the servants, and then said slowly: "Do you want to support Hu Hai to succeed to the throne?"

Lin Ze nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I hope that the Prime Minister will help, and he will definitely be rewarded one day." ”

Li Si raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "But why does Benxiang want to help an enemy, don't forget, my two clansmen died at the hands of you and that Huang Jing respectively." Both of you are Hu Hai's confidants, and you still want to support Hu Hai?"

Lin Ze sighed and said, "Those are all misunderstandings, and I am willing to make amends to the Li family." ”

Li Si just looked at him calmly and didn't say a word.

Lin Ze had no choice but to speak: "The Li family supports Gongzi Huhai, everyone has no big enmity, and they can turn their rivalry into jade silk, but they can be safe." ”

"If the Li family supports Fusu to succeed to the throne, it will really be a catastrophe. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Si's mouth: "Alarmist." ”

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "It's not alarmist in the next place, doesn't the Prime Minister know that the prince of Fusu attaches great importance to Confucianism? If Fusu succeeds to the throne, Confucianism will definitely be highly used, and the Li family will not be in a catastrophe?"

Li Si's expression was indifferent, Lin Ze was talking nonsense, and he didn't even have the heart to refute.

However, Lin Ze didn't seem to see Li Si's face, and said to himself: "Didn't the prime minister forget that he was taught by Xun Xian, and Xun Xian came from the past under the Confucian Saint?"

Li Si's face changed slightly: "How much do you know?"

Lin Ze smiled slightly: "In the past, the Confucian saints were powerful in the world, and there were seventy-two sages under the sect, all of whom were top figures and martial arts masters. The seventy-two sages had their own understanding of the scriptures and meanings of Confucianism, and created schools within Confucianism according to their own understanding, so there were as many as seventy-two schools of Confucianism. ”

"Among the various schools, the most Confucian saint is the half-saint Meng Ke. What is puzzling is that there is a first-class school, but it was boycotted by other sages and denounced as deviant, and that school is the law school founded by Xun Xian. ”

"Fortunately, the Confucian saint has an extraordinary bearing, although he doesn't like Xun Xian's concept, he has never been harsh on his disciple Xun Xian. Although the other sages were disgusted with Xun Xian, they were helpless because of the Confucian sage. ”

"It wasn't until after the Confucian saint disappeared bizarrely, that the Confucian community collectively attacked Xun Xian and drove him out. Subsequently, the Confucian collective announced that Xun Xian had deviated from the scriptures and was expelled from Confucianism, and had nothing to do with Confucianism from then on. ”

"The Prime Minister should know better than me about this past. ”

Li Si's face was extremely ugly, Xun Xian that Lin Ze said was his mentor Xun Qian, when he was apprenticed, he heard his mentor talk about it more than once.

Even because Confucianism did not recognize their identity as master and apprentice, when Xun Guo took Li Si to travel around the world, he reported the name of Legalism that he later took.

"Dare to ask the Prime Minister, if Confucianism takes root and expands in the Great Qin Mansion through Fusu, do you think they will remember that the Li family is the continuation of the Legalist family back then?"

"How the sages treated Xun Xian back then, I am afraid that today's Confucianism will double down on the Li family, this is not a simple grudge, this is a battle between Taoism and Taoism, the kind that never dies. Lin Ze said categorically.

"Besides, the strength of Confucianism, the prime minister should know better than me. ”

Li Si finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded, "Shut up." ”

Lin Ze was very aware of the current affairs and kept silent, quietly watching Li Si's face be cloudy and changeable.

After a long time, Li Si spoke: "Prince Hu Hai is willing to suppress Confucianism for the Li family?"

Lin Ze replied decisively: "As we all know, under the birth of Fang Xiandao, belongs to the Taoist lineage, if the prime minister needs it, Hu Hai Gongzi should not hesitate to take action and slowly weaken Confucianism." ”

Li Si snorted undeniably: "Two conditions, this minister needs a personal reply from the son of Hu Hai, and before Fusu arrives in Chang'an, the Li family will not open his mouth to help Hu Hai succeed to the throne." ”

Lin Ze immediately understood what Li Si meant, two conditions, naturally including the previous promise of the Li family's hereditary replacement, Hu Hai's personal reply, but he was afraid that Lin Ze would deceive the upper and lower levels and open his mouth indiscriminately.

As for Fusu not returning to Chang'an, the Li family will not speak, but they clearly told Lin Ze that before the Li family makes a decision, they have to see how sincere Fusu is?

Lin Ze couldn't help but curse the "old fox" in his heart, he refused to scatter eagles when he saw rabbits, and he had to see if there was anything fatter.

However, Lin Ze was not very worried about this matter, according to his understanding of Fusu, I am afraid that he would not have such courage to gain Li Si's support by abandoning Confucianism.

Therefore, Lin Ze bowed to Li Si and said, "The prince will naturally come to visit the prime minister and say goodbye." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.
