Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Chess became popular among the upper class as early as the Warring States Period.

Wu Meiniang has a very high level of chess.

And Yan Wan played a lot on weekdays, so her level is naturally not bad.

Li Tai played less, so he naturally became a stinky chess basket. In order to save his husband, he could only play foolishly.

Li Tai met Kong Yingda in the main hall.

He has white hair and long beard, and he is dressed in white Confucian clothes. His shoes are soaked, leaving a line of footprints.

Seeing Li Tai, Kong Yingda quickly bowed his head and saluted, "I've seen Your Highness."

"Master Kong, please, please don't be too polite." Li Tai said hurriedly.

Kong Yingda stood up but said in a teaching tone: "The ruler and his ministers are normal, so you must respect them."

"Hmm~" Li Tai didn't refute, but frowned slightly, and said straight to the point.

"I don't know, Master Confucius came today, what is the so-called matter?"

Kong Yingda hesitated for a while, and then said a little nervously.

"I came here this time to ask Your Highness, may I be involved in the Pinyin dictionary?"

"Hmm~" Li Tai pondered for a long time, and began to think about Kong Yingda's proposal.

If you disagree, the Confucianists would not dare to say more when Li Shimin is in power.

It's just that this is a hidden danger, except for the military generals, the rest are all civil servants, and they will give Kong Yingda face more or less.

If you agree, you will get some support from Confucianism, and the most important thing is the support of talents.

Now, the only one doing science is himself, and Ji Yanwan, who is printing, at most adding Wu Meiniang.

I have a heavy responsibility. On the one hand, I have to supervise the blast furnace, and I have to draw the blueprint of the steam engine. From time to time, I have to watch the production of penicillin...

Too tired, sooner or later I will become a bald prince...

Li Tai just wanted to say yes, but Kong Yingda spoke first.

"Old man, I have passed the age of 66 this year, and there are not many days left in this world.

Her words are not condescending on weekdays, and she often offends His Highness, which makes His Highness displeased.

The old man then apologized to His Highness.

For the sake of my advanced age, Your Highness, please don't have any prejudice against Confucianism because of my stubbornness and lack of progress. "

After finishing speaking, Kong Yingda knelt down and spoke in a very low posture.

"In my life, I have read sage books all my life.

In the end, I still couldn't let go of that name and profit. I really feel ashamed of Confucius.

Also please Your Highness, for the sake of my dedication to the Great Tang for many years, let me compile the "Datang Guodian" together! "

As he spoke, Kong Yingda wanted to kowtow.

Li Tai quickly supported him and said, "This king just agrees."

Seeing Li Tai agreeing, Kong Yingda said with some joy: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Kong Yingda was a little overjoyed: "In the future, if science is established, Confucianism will definitely help."

After all, in his opinion, the gap between sects is quite a big gap.

Coupled with his usual actions, Li Tai may not agree very much.

"That's thanks to Master Kong's help!" Li Tai said with a smile and nodded.

Kong Yingda is probably an old man who is stubborn, conservative, and afraid to try new things.

But his knowledge and life experience are not bad.

He said, "If the clouds are thin and the sun leaks out, when the sun shines on the raindrops, the rainbow will be born." 'Revealed the principle of the rainbow, and successfully carried out the experiment of artificial rainbow.

At the same time, he also compiled the imperial examination textbooks.

It’s like many old people nowadays are very smart but they have been using smartphones for the elderly all the time. Even the old people don’t know how to use them. Typical people can’t accept new things.

This time, with the support of Confucianism, the vision of my Academy of Sciences can be realized [-]%.

With the Academy of Sciences, what I have to do is to work hard to catch talents.

With more talents, the development of the technology tree can be faster, more powerful, and more rapid.

Best of all, you don't have to do everything yourself.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Kong Yingda left a gift and left.

He walked briskly as he walked, obviously enjoying himself.

This scene was seen by Wei Zheng who came to ask questions.

"Meet the king of Wei."

"The students have met the teacher." Li Tai saluted.

Wei Zheng was very puzzled looking at Kong Yingda who was full of joy.

"Then Kong Yingda came here to add his own name?"

"Yes." Li Tai nodded and said.

Wei Zheng frowned and asked in puzzlement: "Did King Wei claim to be a scientific school.

Why do you agree to such requirements of Confucianism? "

Li Tai thought about it and explained. "Science is different from other sciences."

"What's the difference?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Thousands of years ago, from the contention of a hundred schools of thought to the nine schools of thought and ten schools of thought, to today's three schools of thought and nine schools of thought.

No one can guarantee that their sect will disappear with the rise and fall of a certain dynasty. "

"Is science possible?" Wei Zheng asked back.

"Science, unlike other denominations, is tested.

Science does not need to burn incense and worship like Buddhism, it only needs to be respected in the heart.

There is no need to memorize Confucian classics by rote, but repeated questioning and experimentation.

It's not like Taoism's general pursuit of misty, but it can actually get results.

There are not too many views of family status, some only views of national boundaries! "

"It's really weird!" Wei Zheng shook his head after hearing this, thinking it was quite weird.

Chapter 54

"When you understand the power of science, you can do anything."

omnipotent?

The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched into a 'hehe' smile, thinking why don't you go to heaven?

However, if there is such a great inclusiveness, can Taoism also surrender to avoid the end of extermination.

Buddhism wants to compile "Mahayana Buddhism" which can be used for enlightenment, but no one said anything.

Now Confucianism has also surrendered and even joined the compilation of "Da Tang Guodian".

Only Taoism has become a rat that everyone shouts and beats, and it is almost extinct.

Many acquaintances of Taoists hid in the mountains, and Li Chunfeng also took in many Taoists.

Since he became king of Wei, Li Chunfeng has visited several times, wanting to find out Li Tai's tone.

Wei Zheng still has some feelings for Taoism.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng said cautiously, "Your Highness, what do you think of Taoism?"

"Naturally, look with your heart." Hearing this, Li Tai knew what Wei Zheng wanted to ask.

Wei Zheng frowned, a little puzzled, how should he look at it carefully?

"Please explain, Your Highness?"

"Confucianism can govern the court, and Buddhism can educate the barbarians, but what about Taoism?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

Taoism is good at pursuing longevity and refining elixir...but these things are useless to people.

Isn't this directly abolished?

Wei Zheng didn't understand this truth.

A sect is useless and even harmful to the dynasty and the people, and it will definitely not last long.

But there was nothing he could do!

He also couldn't find Taoism's positioning for itself...

"Oh~." Wei Zheng sighed.

But since there is a chance to surrender, even if it is to learn Buddhism and change the teachings, it is acceptable.

It is much better than exterminating the religion directly.

"Your Highness, Taoist Li Chunfeng wants to see His Highness, but I wonder if His Highness can see him for the sake of being a teacher?"

Li Tai thought for a while and said, "Yes."

With Li Tai's consent, Wei Zheng rushed to Li Chunfeng's house in a hurry.

Li Tai frowned a little. What can Taoism be used for?

Good at traveling around the world, can draw maps, explore and find mines?

It takes too long to draw contour maps and prospect for mines, and it is difficult to be effective in a short time.

Maybe it's gone before it's finished.

For alchemy, can it be used to engage in chemistry?medicine?

This is possible, and the other party should be willing to come to think of it.

At the same time, Wei Zheng and Li Chunfeng were drinking dull wine.

Li Chunfeng's face was full of helplessness: "Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, but today I can't find a skill that can be used."

Wei Zheng persuaded: "Instead of drinking too much, it's better to think about how to get through this difficult time.

The Taoist inheritance cannot be broken in your hands. "

"Hey~ Wuwei~ Wuwei, it really is nothing... What should I do!"

Li Chunfeng shook his head and drank another cup and said with emotion.

"There are very few people in science, and I don't see a few people. In my opinion."

Wei Zheng said casually with a sad face: "You should believe in science~"

Li Chunfeng couldn't hold the wine glass firmly after hearing it, and said excitedly: "Brother Dao is such a good idea!!"

"..." Wei Zheng's face was black.

But Li Chunfeng stood up and walked towards the door, obviously taking it seriously.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng became impatient: "Brother Dao must be serious!?"

"Of course it's true!" Li Chunfeng paused and said without turning his head.

Wei Zheng hurriedly advised: "I'm just talking casually, I have to think deeply!!"

Li Chunfeng stopped, took a deep look at Wei Zheng and said.

"Think deeply? Dao brother, can you go to the prison to see how the Taoist disciple is doing now?"

Wei Zheng fell silent, and went to prison, which would definitely not be any better.

Coupled with the reputation of being beaten by everyone, even if they died in prison, no one would avenge them.

"Brother Daoist, I don't think I've seen it." Li Chunfeng shook his head, sighed, and said firmly.
