Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

"To make a living for the common people?" Ji Ren couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "The common people are so pitiful, they have to be tricked by you every day."

"It's not that the old man lied and deceived, it's the fact." Zheng Changsong said, "Qingyong Bo is extremely talented. When the old man and the prime minister were discussing Taoism, the prime minister once praised him a lot. At such a young age, he wanted to serve as the Duke of the country. He is very famous. In the world, given time, it is not impossible to surpass the champion. God has given Daqi a unicorn and a divine general to control the country. However, this memorial is completely absurd and regards Confucian etiquette as nothing, which arouses the anger of Daqi students and leads to turmoil. If Uncle Qing doesn't look back, then the students of Daqi will definitely come forward in droves. How will Uncle Qingyong face the entire group of students of Daqi with his own strength? At that time, Uncle Qingyong will be damaged, our Daqi will lose a pillar, and the national strength will suffer. The people are suffering, so I beg Uncle Qing Yong to take back the memorial for the sake of the people's livelihood and for his own benefit."

"In that case, Mr. Gao Mi is still doing it for my own good." Ji Ren said with a smile.

"You can't bear Uncle Qing Yong to go astray, and you can't bear the suffering of the common people?" Zheng Changsong said seriously.

"Then why don't you help me, Mr. Gao Mi? I think it will be easier to do this with the help of Mr. Gao Mi. In this way, everything will be fine." Ji Ren said.

"Uncle Qing Yong, don't be ridiculous. I am discussing with you this time because I can't bear your suffering. How can you alone defeat the entire Confucian scholar of Daqi? Instead of letting you insist on going your own way, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, it will not only bring disaster to you, but I'm afraid that it will harm the Prime Minister's reputation, how can you bear it?" Zheng Changsong said sharply, his voice fell, mixed with a strong will to make Ji Ren turn around.

"So the Confucian scholars in Daqi are strong, and I want to retreat? If the young sage has a spirit, he will be ashamed and unbearable if he knows what Duke Gao Mi said. Don't forget where the Dao is. Even though there are thousands of people, I will go. My heart is towards the Dao, and I will wield the sword. With the ax attached to my body, why should I be afraid? Are the so-called Confucian scholars of Daqi just these wine bags and rice bags in front of me?" Ji Ren shook his head after hearing this.

"Uncle Qingyong, don't use your clever words and tricks. Being a saint is the way of benevolence and righteousness. But what is it for, Uncle Qingyong? It's unprecedented for a woman to be a prince based on military merit. Now, Uncle Qingyong uses his achievements to blackmail His Majesty for his own selfish interests." , You have lost the way of being a minister. If the people of the world follow this behavior, the country will be ruined? Do you dare to compare with the Yasheng?" Zheng Changsong's face changed slightly when he heard Ji Ren mentioned Mencius, and he said harshly.

"Everything in the world has its own order, which has been determined by the sages. Our descendants are less talented and less knowledgeable than our forefathers. We should follow it instead of being arrogant and wantonly tampering with it, causing unrest for our family and country."

"Uncle Qing Yong, I'm trying to persuade you because I hope you can take care of yourself. Although you have become famous at a young age and have made great achievements in battle, don't forget that wisdom is easy to die, and the champion died at an early age. As you climb high, you will fall again. If Uncle Qing Yong doesn't go astray again, Zhihui, when the time comes to face the entire Daqi Confucian family, how will you protect yourself?"

Zheng Changsong's voice was stern, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in his eyes. Do not look directly at him.

He had no intention of becoming an enemy of Ji Ren. When Guan Yan inherited the title of Marquis, although he did not support it, he did not express any objection, which was regarded as acquiescence. However, Ji Ren's move was beyond his understanding.

"Gong Gao Mi has been talking for a long time. They are all precedents and order. They have not existed in the past and will not exist in the future. In this case, I would like to ask Duke Gao Mi, how can this old beast below be the Duke of Yan? Is he worthy of a duke? Before the Song Dynasty, there was no Duke Yan, why didn't you refuse?" Ji Ren said with a smile.

"Because he was the descendant of Confucius, he was favored by all dynasties, but he was promoted in the Song Dynasty." Zheng Changsong explained that he did not want to think about the dispute, and hoped that Ji Ren would bow his head. After all, if Ji Ren bowed his head, he would join his Confucianism and Confucianism. The status can also be improved.

"After Confucius and Saint, there should be a favor. It is really a big joke in the world. Sure enough, the Confucian scholars in the world do not read Mencius. Zheng Changsong, I originally thought of you as an old man, and I didn't say much when I was the successor of Yan Yan. I didn't want to argue with you. But now that you don't know how to advance or retreat, don't blame me for not giving you the favor of a gentleman. You who claim to be descendants of Confucianism but do not respect Mencius are really just thieves who deceive the world and steal your reputation." Ji Ren's face turned cold when he heard this. Lie came down and said.

"Ji Ren, you haven't read the scriptures, and you've taken them out of context and made things far-fetched. How can you talk about my Confucian affairs?" Zheng Changsong's face also darkened, his whole body's spiritual power surged, and in an instant, the situation changed.

"I don't care about your Confucian slander. But as we all know, our country in Qi inherited the system of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, some people were granted the title of marquis because of fortune telling, and some were granted the title of marquis because they were the sisters of the Queen Mother. Now, in our country, there are women who are granted the title of marquis because of their military merits. What's the problem?" Ji Ren said disdainfully.

"How can this be confused? This is nothing more than the work of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and his wife. They also broke the etiquette." Zheng Changsong said.

"Etiquette? If the Han Dynasty did not respect Confucianism, how could Confucianism be respected? This time it is really the grandson who has taken care of the grandfather." Ji Ren sneered, "There is no precedent in this time that was not created by people themselves. To give an example, Qin Shihuang burned books I think it will be of great benefit to you. I will give your Majesty some advice tomorrow!"

"Nonsense. The Ying government was cruel and burned books to enslave Confucianism, so the second generation of the Qin Dynasty died. The Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, so it lasted for four hundred years. Uncle Yong of the Qing Dynasty, are you trying to harm the country and the people?" Zheng Changsong looked coldly and looked at Zhu Jiren couldn't help but show murderous intent in his eyes.

This man is possessed.

"First of all, the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty can avenge themselves for centuries! Instead of these useless Confucian scholars who talk about righteousness, if they are angry at themselves, they will be repaid, but when it comes to others, they persuade others to be generous and repay evil with kindness. It is said that Gao Mi Gong's book It doesn't sound like Kang Chenggong. Secondly, if we talk about the Han Dynasty, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, Huang Lao was followed. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty even peed on the hats of Confucian scholars. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who only respected Confucianism. But I would like to ask Gao Mi about it. Sir, do you expect your majesty to become a king like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?" Ji Ren said with a smile.

Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were examples of heroes in Ji Ren's previous life, but in history, Emperor Qin II died, and Emperor Wu of Han went on a military rampage. One was only slandered, the other was mixed.

After all, these two are true monarchs with no control. Neither is liked by Confucianists, nor is they controlled by courtiers at all.

For example, if heaven and man sense it, there are visions in heaven and earth to warn the monarch. However, in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, would I be unethical? Certainly not. So why are there visions? There is a traitor in the court, kill the prime minister!

"Ji Ren, don't talk nonsense. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on a military rampage, which resulted in a waste of money at home and a loss of household registration by half. If future generations had not used my Confucian methods to support him, how could the Han Dynasty have survived for four hundred years?" Zheng Changsong retorted coldly.

"Stop." Ji Ren couldn't help but interrupt, "I thought you just didn't read Mencius, but looking at it today, you can't even do the most basic Confucian principles of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust. Please don't change the history books at will. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was indeed militaristic. The person who cleaned up the mess for him was Huo Guang, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the son of Emperor Han Yuan, once asked Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to use more virtuous Confucian scholars. But what was the reply? If not, does Gao Mi Gong remember it? I said."

At this point, Ji Ren's face became serious and he said: "The Han family has its own system, which is originally based on the overlord's way. However, it is purely moral education and uses Zhou government! Therefore, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty lamented that the one who will bring chaos to the Han family in the future will be the prince! Facts have proven that what Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said was correct. The Western Han Dynasty began to decline after Emperor Han Yuan. In just fifty years, the power of the Han family was usurped by Wang Mang, the nephew of Emperor Han Yuan's empress Wang Zhengjun. "

"I would like to ask Mr. Gao Mi, what does the glory of the Western Han Dynasty have to do with your Confucianism? On the contrary, you cannot escape the blame for the country's fall in the fifty years. We have also talked about usurping the throne, let's talk about Wang Mang. To be honest, you Confucians don't mention him , isn’t it so correct? He perfectly fits your Confucian model.”
