Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 196 I Read the Book Into the Dog's Stomach
The noisy court hall suddenly fell silent.

This made Yan Xiangshi a little unprepared.

At this time, seeing Li Zhi staring at him with hidden anger, Yan Xiangshi panicked immediately.

But under the eyes of everyone, he couldn't back down, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back: "Could it be that the official is wrong? If it wasn't for those bad ideas from you, King Jin, where would there be so many disputes in the court?"

"Oh……"

Li Zhi nodded if he realized something, which made Yan Xiangshi secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Laughing secretly, Li Zhi still didn't dare to face him head-on, and couldn't help but start to mock in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Zhi's words suddenly became fierce in the next second: "So you ignore the hidden dangers that cause turmoil in the world, and plan to continue to hide your ears and steal the bell?"

As soon as these words came out, the proud expression on his face suddenly froze.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What hidden dangers are there? It's just that there is not enough land. Isn't it solved by letting the people plant less land?"

"Well, yes! Let the people plant less land. Slowly, slowly, they will not have enough to eat and have to be displaced. Then the national power of the entire Tang Dynasty will decline, just like in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, attracting the coveted eyes of foreigners. , let the Five Husbands be staged again."

Li Zhi spoke lightly, and finally looked directly into Yan Xiang's eyes and said calmly: "This is what you said there are no hidden dangers, right? All the history books have been read in vain, and the books have been read into the dog's belly, right?"

"you!!!"

Yan Xiangshi's eyes widened with anger, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He just mentioned the past practice, never thought that it would attract such sharp criticism.

This is no longer questioning his talent, but denying his entire being!

What does it mean to read all the books to the dog's belly?
Is there such a thing as cursing?
Yan Xiangshi was so angry that his face turned red, but for a while he couldn't find an angle to refute, so he could only suppress his blush and pointed his finger at Li Zhi and kept shaking.

Seeing his appearance, Li Zhi snorted and sneered: "How long has it been since the end of the troubled times? Have you forgotten the shame of the past and only thought about the power and wealth in your hands? In the future, read more history books and feel a little ashamed when you see the words about my Chinese descendants being humiliated, okay? Don’t just think about how to make money for yourself and how to protect your status. When the aliens invade, you guys will be the first A ransacked object, you idiot!”

It may be a relationship that has been suppressed for too long, Li Zhi couldn't stop talking once he opened his mouth.

He has long wanted to scold these idiots, but he has never been able to find a chance.

This wave of cursing was so refreshing.

It's so cool to the bone!

On the other hand, when looking at his appearance, he didn't know whether he had no face to continue to stay, or was really pissed off.

He fainted on the spot and couldn't wake up no matter how much others shouted.

Seeing this, Li Zhi curled his lips in disdain: "From now on, use your brains before speaking, and don't always say things that are so outrageous that you will be speechless, so as not to make you laugh."

Population expansion and land annexation are the most severe situations that all dynasties have to face.

As a result, when it came to this guy's mouth, solving the problem turned into making trouble over nothing?
It's outrageous!
Make good use of the vast land and extend the periodic law as much as possible. This is already the solution with the lowest cost.

In the end, even this has to be attacked. I really don't know how the brain grows.

Are you really ignoring the overall situation just for the little profit gained from internal fighting?

Really vomited!
Li Zhi was speechless, not knowing how to describe these people who put self-interest more important than the continuation of the dynasty.

There must be a limit to selfishness, right? There is no reason to hasten the demise of a dynasty just for a little power.

It's just too much!
Just when Li Zhi thought that the dispute had come to an abrupt end and there would be no further follow-up, he continued to fish on the pillar.

Fang Xuanling had finished observing Yan Xiangshi's state, stood up and looked towards Li Zhi.

"The problem of the land equalization system really needs to be resolved, there is no doubt about it."

First he admitted Li Zhi's point of view, then Fang Xuanling changed the subject and said in a stern tone: "But you shouldn't slander an elder with such vulgar words in public, please remember, Your Highness, sir The order of the children and the order of the superiors and inferiors are the foundation of our Tang Dynasty! Don't forget what is called etiquette!"

Gee!
Damn it, it’s online!
It doesn't make sense, but fuck me from the commanding heights of morality, right?
What a disgusting person.

Although Li Zhi felt upset, since the old man was talking about etiquette, he had no way to refute it, so he could only honestly bow his hands: "Thank you for your teaching, sir, I will remember it in my heart."

As Fang Xuanling said, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty lies in the four words "orderly respect and inferiority".

There are filial piety and etiquette on his head, so he cannot say many things randomly.

It's cool to faint from the facial expressions, but it's also taboo.

There is no way, this is the surface rule of the current world operation, Li Zhi can only give in in the face of "order".

Seeing that Li Zhi was willing to admit his mistakes, Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. A child can be taught."

To be honest, Li Zhi was really disgusted this time.

But in a patriarchal society, this is the only way to deal with elders.

This fucked-up society where etiquette trumps everything else is so damn disgusting.

The patriarchal system is also one of the cancers that prevent society from progressing.

Sooner or later, he has to flush this dregs down the sewer!

With a few words in his heart, Li Zhi decided to calm down and not to continue arguing with the old man.

But unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling took this opportunity to raise the issue he was most concerned about.

"The words of the Minister of Rites are indeed inappropriate, but if you think about it carefully, the second half is not completely unreasonable."

second half?

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at Fang Xuanling.

The old man smiled and continued: "The appearance of the paper machine did cause some confusion to the market. This should not have happened, but due to the negligence of King Jin, the price of paper fluctuated."

"This time, since the chaos has already been caused, that's all."

"But I hope King Jin will stop touching these tricks and tricks in the future, and don't spend his limited energy on these useless things."

……

useless...

Hearing this comment, Li Zhi suddenly didn't know what to say.

If even technology can be called useless, then what is useful?

Can the development of society be promoted by relying on the Analects of Confucius and the words of Confucian sages?
Sigh... I thought this matter would be over like this, but I didn't expect to stand up and talk to Fang Xuanling after all.
