Chapter 210 Alarmism?

Li Yuan, Kong Ming and others nodded their heads when they heard the words. Seeing this, Li Chengdao continued: "The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust of the saints to educate all peoples are universal, and they can be said to be unchangeable through the ages. His viewpoints and views are only for a moment, and they are time-sensitive. If today’s people cite indiscriminately, rigidly and without flexibility, and pretend to be saints, their actions will inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people, and even ruin the integrity of the saints. reputation!"

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Naturally, these generals did not understand what the young prince said, but those civil servants were indeed deeply moved.

Because all those who become officials, when they are not as good as the imperial court and get rid of the books, they have already realized that it is difficult to rule the world by relying on the learning of sages alone. That's all, although officials from generation to generation all claim to be disciples of Confucius and Mencius, there is also loyalty and treachery among them, and everyone knows that today's politics and politics have already incorporated Huang Lao's learning, and only relying on the way of Confucius and Mencius, But far from enough!

As for the so-called sage's way, it's just what they say. They are like a mirror in their hearts, and naturally they don't believe that the world can be ruled by just a few words left by the sage.

So after hearing Li Chengdao's remarks, all the civil servants were silent for a while.Seeing this, Li Chengdao turned to Li Xiyang and asked: "Master Li, you said that the world can be ruled by only learning moral articles, but do you know that my country in the Tang Dynasty did not rely on moral articles. You said This kind of military training is a trivial skill, but now that there is a lot of chaos, the Turks are stalking, and the internal and external troubles, can it be quelled only by education? Emphasis on education and neglect of the army and the people, so that the country can maintain long-term peace and stability?"

Li Xiyang smiled disdainfully when he heard the words, and said: "The rebellion in Miaojiang is just a small group of desperadoes. The disease of scabies can become a disaster for the whole country? What's the point? His Royal Highness King Wu is a little alarmist!"

Li Chengdao smiled instead of anger when he heard the words, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful, what an alarmist, but I don't know if Master Li still remembers that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others were just scabies, and Meng Yuanman was not enough. For fear, Mr. Li is indeed a master, presumably there must be a lot of ministers like you in the Qin Dynasty!"

How could Li Xiyang bear Li Chengdao's scorn of himself, blushing his old face and said: "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are against the Tyrant Qin, and it is precisely because the Tyrant Qin did not pay attention to education and treated the people harshly that it attracted a lot of heroes and righteous men Respond to all calls and rise up!"

At this time, old Mr. Wang Jin'ao also stood up and said: "Master Li's words are very true. As for the Turks, they are now torn apart and living in the wilderness. What is there to fear?"

At this time, Yang Shouzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came out of the class immediately and said: "The veterans also think that what Mr. Li and Mr. Wang said is right. Now that the world is at peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, so it is enough to govern the people with virtue and benevolence. Turkic barbarians were born in a bitter cold place , living as a nomad, good at riding and shooting, not my specialty in farming, it is unwise to compete with them. Therefore, it is only necessary to use an army to stop the barbarians from outside the country, so that internal strife does not arise. How can they have gaps? take advantage of?"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao pointed to the foreign envoys who were working and said: "My lords, your eyesight is too short-sighted, like a frog in a well. Do you think our worries are only these? You don't know that on the other side of the sea, there are already people with yellow hair. Blue-eyed foreigners, sailed across the ocean in a boat, and arrived in our Tang Dynasty, you have no idea how powerful the West will become after undergoing a transformation called the Industrial Revolution in the near future!"

"Holding the name of the kingdom of heaven, if you don't think about making progress, sooner or later you will be replaced by these barbarians in your eyes!"

"Bold!" Hearing this, Li Xiyang couldn't help but feel secretly happy. After waiting for so long, he finally caught you with a stupid sentence. Li Xiyang hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Li Yuan, saying: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu's remarks are clearly with evil intentions. I The Tang Dynasty has been a country for thousands of years, how could it be replaced by others? Your Majesty, I will punish King Wu for his crimes!"

Li Yuan frowned when he heard the words, it wasn't that he also felt that there was something wrong with Li Chengdao's words, it was just that Li Xiyang's so-called malicious words pierced his heart.

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Li Xiyang, it's just a debate at a banquet, the speaker is innocent, everyone can speak freely, why bother to be so indifferent, if you, Mr. Li, feel that the honest words are harsh, just don't listen! If you please resign Go home, I will approve it immediately!"

Everyone can hear the dissatisfaction in Li Yuan's words. Kong Ming smiled secretly in his heart, these old pedants really don't understand the holy meaning. Just now Li Shimin committed trouble and had evil intentions. Isn't it looking for draws?Besides, who is Li Chengdao?That is the old emperor who is the most proud of the current princes and grandchildren. You chew other people's tongues in front of the emperor and slander the emperor's grandson. You are really a human being inside and out!

When Li Xiyang heard this, he naturally stopped talking.

On this side, Li Chengdao looked at Yang Shouzheng, pointed out a finger and said: "First, the so-called peace of the world, peace of the country and peace of the people, which dynasty or generation didn't say that? It's easy to say, just talk about it, but as a minister People should always have a sense of crisis. The so-called life of sorrow and death of peace, although my Tang Dynasty has indeed made some achievements in the development of economy and military, but in the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and people who have nowhere to go gather and die from time to time. If the emperor does not know about the matter, and keeps saying that the world is peaceful and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I really don't know what the elders are thinking!"

Yang Shouzheng heard the words, and the white beard flew into a rage. To put it bluntly, this sentence is a cliché. Your boss is so angry.

At this time, Li Chengdao raised his second finger and said: "Secondly, you sirs often say that this is the time and that is the other. This proves that you also agree that governing a country should keep pace with the times. Chengdao believes that those who govern a country should be as good as To control water, blocking is worse than sparing. Education is indeed important, but change is also very important. You must understand the principles of changing with time, place, and situation. But you stick to the rules and don't know how to adapt. Is this what Sage Confucius meant? "

"Third!" Seeing that Li Xiyang was about to speak, Li Chengdao yelled and stopped the old man's long talk. Li Chengdao knew that he was not the opponent of any old man here, so he could only take advantage of them. They are all old men, their brains are not as fast as their own, and every sentence is either passed on to the emperor, or to the kings who founded and subjugated the country in the past. Organize your language, then you will make a decisive move and cut off the bullshit directly.
