Datang: Wrong start into the bridal chamber, the bride is Jinyang

The whole scene fell silent again in an instant.

Almost everyone held their breath and stared at Fang Jun as if they had seen a ghost.

Straight girl thief!

Really a drop of water!

And it's true!

How can he do this?

Chapter 157

I have heard that he would do this a long time ago, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Most of Fang Jun's paintings for Jin Yang, Li Zhi and others before were some bird trees or a table. I have never seen him do this.

But at this moment, when he drew a picture, he felt extremely shocked in his heart.

He also drew three full drops of water, of different sizes, arranged in the shape of a character.

Everyone looked at it as if it was in front of them.

"So it is!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "My boy! Fang Yiai, you are so true! Here is the legendary bone painting? With just a few strokes, it can be made lifelike! Is that how you did it?"

Fang Jun smiled and said: "This is not a big skill! Even if you can really draw it, so what?"

"Haha, isn't that a big deal? If it gets out, I'm afraid your painting will be worth a thousand dollars!" Li Shimin laughed and said, reaching out to take his painting over and looking at it a few times: "Not bad! Really good! But, where is your famous Japanese seal! Quickly press it!"

"Famous Heyin?" Fang Jun was surprised.

"Naturally! You are not unprepared, are you? You still have to write a few words on it, just write Dashan Rushui next to it! This one, if you take it out, it will cost a few thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels! Hurry up! I am still waiting Look!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Fang Jun smiled and said, "How can I have these things! It's just a random drawing!"

"No need! Make one quickly!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you press it up, these are all taels of silver!"

"All right!"

Fang Jun didn't bother to say much, and asked someone to make a seal and press it.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help sighing a few times.

"Not bad! This painting is really good! Although there are only three drops of water, it is lifelike and ready to emerge! This painting can even be said to shock the world!" Li Shimin exclaimed.

"It's really rare in the world to be able to paint like this! Among other things, Fang Concubine's hand can be said to be able to shock Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty. It's really amazing!" Gao Shilian also said with a smile.

"Fang Aiqing, how about you take a look at this painting? Can it be handed down through the ages?" Li Shimin handed it to Fang Xuanling and said.

Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Lu hurriedly took a look at it, raised their heads and said: "Your Majesty, although this is good, it is indeed like a giant pen, penetrating three points! But if it can be passed down through the ages, it still has a lot of fire!"

"Haha! I think you are just being modest! Among other things, there is no one else in the world who can make Fang Yiai's painting!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "Nowadays, there is no master of painting in the Tang Dynasty. If it spreads, your Fang Yiai Love is the sage of painting, just one painting is enough to impoverish the beauty of painting! It’s a pity that if you don’t continue to paint, if you can paint more gods and ghosts, figures, landscapes, birds and beasts, vegetation, maybe your reputation will be even greater!”

"Now there is a second person who can draw it!" Fang Jun said with a smile.

"Oh? Who else would?" Li Shimin looked at him in surprise.

"Jinyang Club!" Fang Jun said: "She has been studying for a few days, and she has already mastered how to paint! If Your Majesty wants it in the future, just talk to the princess a few words! The princess is very interested in this, maybe she will paint more I will become a generation of painting saints!"

"This...haha, Fang Yiai, don't you want the reputation of being a sage painter? But this is not an ordinary name, but it can be passed down through the ages!" Li Shimin laughed.

Fang Jun shook his head: "What do you want to do with such fame? I don't lack this!"

"..."

Several people were instantly choked by him, and they all couldn't laugh or cry.

It has to be said that Fang Yiai doesn't seem to be uttering wild words, but...he really shouldn't lack this.

If he wanted such a good name, he might have it at his fingertips.

For example, a sentence of "Shaking the Five Sacred Mountains" shocked Chang'an, exhausting the beauty of poetry, and another poem "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Youxian Temple", which is amazingly talented and shocking to the world. It is still passed on in Chang'an by word of mouth, which is deeply taboo.Needless to say, what was said to bring peace to the world after that, the majesty and high ambition are unimaginable.

If he really wanted these good names, he might just open his mouth!

"What a boy!" Li Shimin laughed: "You really are a boy! You actually uttered wild words! However, I really like what you did! That day, when I heard you talk about the imperial examinations with Jinyang, what did you say? Is there anything wrong with the imperial examination? Can you tell me in detail?"

"What's wrong with the imperial examination?" Fang Jun shook his head and said, too lazy to say more.

Li Shimin was amused by the test, and immediately smiled and said: "I know you find it troublesome, and I didn't want to ask you at first, but now, I want to see what you think of my Tang Dynasty! At this time, all the ministers are here, I allow you to talk nonsense, and I also allow you to talk nonsense! Even if you say something wrong, I will not blame you! How?"

Fang Jun still shook his head and said, "It's really hard to say!"

"It's hard to say, why don't you dare to say it?" Li Shimin stared at him and said with a smile: "I know that the imperial examination is related to the foundation of the country, and this matter is the most important thing. I have been thinking about it day and night. Fang Yiai, who has extraordinary knowledge, The angle is tricky, so why not talk about it?"

Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others also stared at Fang Jun when they heard the words.

Fang Xuanling also said: "Jun'er, it's impossible to talk about this matter, but don't talk nonsense!"

"exactly!"

Fang Yizhi also said.

Fang Jun thought for a while, then shrugged and said, "Okay! I can't say much about this, and there are only two words! I can't say anything else!"

"Oh? What two words?" Li Shimin was surprised.

"Gewu!"

Everyone was taken aback, and looked up instantly.

Fang Jun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's a cliche, but it's just investigating things! Investigating things can solve all problems! Nowadays, all problems in the Tang Dynasty are based on investigating things! Is there clothes to wear, food to eat, and horses to do? Storms and thunderstorms, diseases are rampant, There are also plagues of locusts, snowstorms and plagues, and all problems are based on the investigation of things! Man will conquer the sky, and if he solves the problem of investigation of things, he will be able to overcome the sky! Just as His Majesty said: Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!"

Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words: "Gewu is the third class..."

"So, become the third class!"

Fang Jun said: "As long as the imperial examination is changed, it will become the upper third class! As long as it becomes the upper third class, then scholars all over the world will learn how to study things!"

"Of course, there are still a lot of rules and principles in this. It needs to be completed as hard as possible. It is not a one-time achievement! Moreover, the investigation of things is not about deceit, not using the theory of ghosts and gods, but seeking truth from facts, and seeking truth from reality!"

"Focus on things, in fact, emphasize on the world! If the people in the world have clothes and food to eat, then naturally there will be no complaints! And if there is no clothes to wear and no food to eat, then even if there are sages to teach, They will still rise up!"

"That's why I have always believed that the study of things is the foundation of governing the world, not policy theory and poetry!"

Fang Xuanling was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Jun'er, don't talk nonsense! Policy theory is a policy for governing the country, how could it be useless? You talk like this, what will the scholars of the world do?"

Fang Jun glanced at him, smiled and said, "Okay! If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the point?"

Li Shimin, Gao Shilian and others frowned and looked at each other.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's okay! Today I want to listen to you talk about it! Since you want to talk about Gewu, then today I will listen to you about Gewu! It doesn't matter what you say! Fang Aiqing, don't you You have to be alarmed, so what if you really are studying things? There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius, and you can know everything by studying things. I also want to hear what he has to say! Fang Yiai, keep talking!"

Fang Jun looked at him and said with a smile: "Let's not say this! If I say it, the scholars in the world will scold me!"

"Haha! With me here, what are you afraid of?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "As the emperor, I naturally have to open up and accept good words! You say it now, and if you say something wrong, I forgive you!"

Changsun Wuji also laughed and said: "Geeping things is really good! However, there are very few people in the world who can master things!"

"Isn't there one in front of us?" Li Shimin said with a smile, "Come on, sit down, sit down, let's see what he says!"

Fang Xuanling, Fang Yizhi and the others looked at each other, feeling helpless, they could only sit and watch Fang Jun speak.

Fang Jun glanced at them, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Actually, such things are extremely difficult to explain clearly! As the saying goes, prosperity must decline, things must reverse, and the moon is full of profit and loss, whether it is prosperity or not! In my opinion, the reason why the Tang Dynasty has had a prosperous age This sign, apart from the merits of His Majesty and the ministers, is what the people want!"

"After going through the war and getting tired of the war, the people's hearts are more peaceful. At this time, if the whole Tang Dynasty encourages farming and mulberry, lightly pays less taxes, and recuperates, it will surely usher in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! However, this is only for a while. , if it continues like this, it will only be a flash in the pan! The longest, the third life will decline!"

Chapter 158 Change the soup or not the medicine?

"Jun'er, don't talk nonsense! How dare you speak such wild words?" Fang Xuanling was surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly shouted.

Fang Yizhi and the others were also taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Fang Jun.

"Your Majesty! My son is short-sighted and speaks indiscriminately. Please forgive me!" Fang Xuanling hastily said to Li Shimin, clasping her hands in fear.

Li Shimin frowned, glanced at him and said, "Fang Aiqing, why are you panicking? What's the problem even if it's really nonsense? Didn't I just say it? Forgive him for his innocence!"

As he said that, he looked at Fang Jun and said, "Fang Yiai, why are you so assertive? Could it be that my Tang Dynasty will not last forever? Or, do you look down on me?"

The others also looked at Fang Jun with serious faces.

Seeing Fang Xuanling winking at him, Fang Jun seemed a little flustered, couldn't help being amused, and said, "The first emperor also thought so when he unified the six kingdoms! However, only the second emperor died! Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also I once wanted to continue the Great Han Dynasty for thousands of years, but what happened in the end? Needless to say, the previous dynasty still died in the third generation! They have no good ministers? They don’t have a wise king? It’s an excellent thing, but even if it is done with great efforts, to this world, it’s nothing more than..."

"But what is it?" Li Shimin trembled all over his body, staring at him firmly.

Fang Jun shrugged: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry if I have said this. This is Fang Jun's personal opinion at best."

"Say! I forgive you for your innocence!" Li Shimin said excitedly, his eyes sharpened.

"In the end, for the people of the world, it's just a change of soup but not medicine!" Fang Jun said.

Fang Xuanling was stunned, and cursed inside: "Bold! Hugh, my son, is talking nonsense!"

"Second brother, how can you talk like this? What do you mean by changing the soup but not the medicine? What are you talking nonsense? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to His Majesty?" Fang Yizhi was also taken aback.

Such rebellious words really made Fang Yizhi and Fang Xuanling terrified.

What's more, I still said it in front of Li Shimin.

Even if Li Shimin just said that Fang Jun was not guilty, how can the ministers take this kind of words seriously?

At this time, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu and others were all there, how could these people not have two hearts?If they caught the handle and attacked the Fang family for being rebellious, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fang Xuanling immediately became anxious, blaming herself for not warning Fang Jun just now.

This kid is really daring, he dares to say anything.

Li Shimin glanced at them, with a serious face: "Change the soup without changing the medicine?" Then he stared at Fang Jun: "You say that my Tang is changing the soup but not the medicine? You take my Tang Chaobi?"

"nature!"

Fang Jun nodded and said: "Your Majesty once said that if you take copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you take ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs! Since your majesty wants me to talk about it, then I naturally have to use history as a background to watch the Great Tang Dynasty. Since Dong Zhongshu, he dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. After 400 years in the Han Dynasty, there were turmoil and conflicts, which continued to this day! Now, although it is the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism is still in power, and all schools of thought are still dismissed How is it different from previous dynasties and hundreds of years? Even if there is a sign of a prosperous age, it is that prosperity must decline, and decline must prosper! Although the hard work of His Majesty and ministers is indispensable, this is also the law of the world!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling only felt his scalp go numb.

I think this kid must be crazy.

If Li Shimin wasn't here, he almost wanted to swear.

This kid is not afraid of death at all!

Li Shimin glanced at him, saw his face full of panic, thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Why should Fang Aiqing panic? What's the point of talking about this matter? Although I want to continue the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, but, Is there someone in my heart who doesn't understand? It's Fang Yi who loves you..."

He immediately looked at Fang Jun and said with a narrow smile: "You are brave enough to say this in front of me! Do you know how much crime it is if this word is spread? My Tang, how can I Is that what I told you?"

"I hope it won't be like what I said!" Fang Jun shrugged and said with a smile: "What Fang Jun saw at this time is probably just the opinion of a villain! It should be regarded as shallow knowledge!"

"You are more than shallow! You are ignorant!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "Although what you say is so, but now the Tang Dynasty has not only me, but also the ministers, how can it not last forever? And you say Confucianism... Confucianism..."

After speaking, Li Shimin laughed again, and said: "I know what you want to say? You said that my Tang Dynasty changed the soup but not the medicine, and you mean Confucianism, right? Haha, Dong Zhongshu is the first to promote Confucianism. Where it works, how can it be as useless as you said? It’s just that people in the world think that Confucianism is useless if they don’t learn Confucianism!”

"That's right! My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and benevolence is the way, how can I not learn Confucianism?" Fang Xuanling said hastily: "Juner, don't you want to talk nonsense here! Confucianism is the way, it is the general trend, Your Majesty and I are just pushing the boat along the way!"

Fang Jun looked at them, wondering whether to continue talking, but after thinking about it, he still smiled and said: "What your majesty and father said is very reasonable. However, the prosperity of the world is the prosperity of Confucianism, not the prosperity of Confucianism. The world is thriving! Fang Jun has already seen who comes first! Since His Majesty and Father have said so, Fang Jun has nothing to say! I will go back to Blessing House!"

As he said, he continued to think about retreating.

Li Shimin was taken aback, amused, and said, "Wait a minute! How can you just leave like this? You haven't finished talking yet! Didn't I just say it? Let you talk nonsense! Even if you talk about Confucianism and What about Baijia?"

"Actually, I can't see the way of the world clearly!" Fang Jun said: "For me, since I can respect Confucianism alone, why do I have to dismiss the hundred schools of thought? Wouldn't it be better to let all the flowers bloom in this world and the hundred schools of thought contend? If so It really needs to be divided into grades, Confucianism is the first grade, and others are the second grade, so it won't be so unbearable!"

"Let's go back to the imperial examination. Why can't you test Confucianism and policy theory?"

"Nowadays the Great Tang uses poetry and articles to select scholars. If the articles are well written, they are said to be smart. However, there are countless people in the world who are obsessed with reading. Reading is just one of the thousands of roads. Just because the articles are well written, they are considered smart. What is it if it’s not generalization?”

"Fang Jun also used to study Confucianism, and he knows the essence of Confucianism. So far, Fang Jun also feels that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, trustworthiness and wisdom are important. But the study of gewu cannot be discarded! If it is discarded, it will be me, Tang Dynasty, who will cut off my arm! "

"What is Gewu? Iron?! Copper! Forge gold and jade! Swords, guns, bows and arrows, which one is not related to Gewu? If there is no sharp sword, how can the Tang Dynasty strive for hegemony in the world and make all nations submit? Without the surrender of all nations, how could it be possible?" What are you talking about Confucianism flourishing?"

"So, all things are based on investigating things first! The same is true for the great prosperity of Confucianism! It is already clear at a glance who comes first."

"However! What's ridiculous is that the world has prospered, and Confucianism has begun to dominate again! In the end, the study of Gewu has been reduced to the next level. Daji! Why is this so? Abandon all schools of thought, and only respect Confucianism!"

Chapter 159

Hearing what Fang Jun said, the scene suddenly became dead silent.

Everyone looked at each other.

No one dared to say such a thing before, and no one would say it.

After all, Confucianism is the only thing in the Tang Dynasty now. If nothing else, Kong Yingda is still in charge of the sacrificial wine in the Guozijian.

Now Kong Yingda is still being ordered to compile "Five Classics of Justice"!
