Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

Jiang Shiwu was about to sit down when he heard his grandfather ask: "Which one of you will speak first?".

Quickly stood up straight again, and said loudly: "Let me say it first...! Well, that..., people are going to die in wars, and you can't chill the hearts of meritorious ministers, so you shouldn't be dismissed!"

Shang Zhongyan saw that he didn't sit down for a long time after he finished speaking, and after waiting for a few breaths, he asked: "Are you finished?...Sit down when you finish speaking!"

Jiang Shiwu was originally waiting for his grandfather's comment, but he was reprimanded when he didn't get a comment, and he sat behind the desk with a grievance.

On the opposite side, Shang Tan stood up, cupped his hands and said: "During the chaos of the Ten Kingdoms, all heroes rose together, and the flames of war raged. It is hard to say whether there is right or wrong in the war between countries. It is true as Xiao Wu said, there is no reason to fight without death." , but how can soldiers who died in battle be equal to innocent people?"

Jiang Shiwu nodded suddenly after hearing what he said, and whispered: "Yes, it really can't be the same..."

Jiang Shiyun: "Shut up!"

other people:"……"

Shang Tan went on to say: "Generals are ordered by the king to siege cities and plunder land, and they have to do so. But we must not forget that the sages taught that people must be loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy. Is there a bit of benevolence? Mencius advised the king to rule the world with benevolence, and such an unkind person should not stand in the court."

Jiang Shiwu listened to his cousin's unhurried words. Although he didn't understand some of them, but seeing his grandfather smiling, he knew that he must have spoken very well. He said to Jiang Shiyun who was sitting next to him with a bitter face: What about Yun, I don’t want to write big characters.”

Jiang Shiyun ignored him, stood up straight, and asked Shang Tan: "My cousin means that it is inhumane to kill the common people, so it doesn't matter if you kill the soldiers? Is the benevolence of you scholars divided into different people? Is it still important to treat different people? How many sets of standards should we divide?"

Jiang Shiwu clapped his hands and cheered: "That's right, the soldiers deserve to die!" After he was kicked by Jiang Shiyun on the calf, he said awkwardly: "Hey..., you say, you say...."

Jiang Shiyun withdrew his feet, and continued: "Wen can govern the country, and martial arts are good. The two are different. Hong Qi has made great contributions in seizing the city, fulfilling the king's order, and being loyal to Zhao; driving away the people of Hu, but reducing Zhao The casualties of the soldiers of the country have righteousness with the robes. Why can't such people gain a foothold in the court, and the court lords may not all be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous."

After Lin Fangxu finished listening, he couldn't help applauding in his heart, Jiang Shiyun's words were really unexpected.

Firstly, it points out that people should be treated equally, and then there is a difference between civil and military. For generals, loyalty is the most important thing.

Perhaps Shang Tan also underestimated the enemy. At this time, he frowned slightly and his face was a little dignified. Shang Lun sitting next to him was a little surprised and worried, feeling that he was about to be swayed by his cousin.

Jiang Shiwu will always spare no effort to support the younger brother, and immediately echoed: "Cut...! Those civil servants, all of whom advertise loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, secretly occupy people's land, and there are many people who accept bribes. Feel free to tell someone else."

Shang Zhongyan heard Jiang Shiyun finished speaking, before he had time to be relieved, Jiang Shiwu was so angry that he scolded: "Where are you talking so much nonsense! You didn't expect it when you should say it, but now it's an afterthought, shut your mouth..., It's up to you, Zijian."

Xu Zhongkang stood up, not in a hurry, smiled and said: "Civil and military are indeed different, let's not talk about whether the emperors of the court are perfect or not, but whether Hong Qi is loyal or not is still to be discussed?"

Jiang Shiyun frowned and said: "It's up for discussion, his combat achievements are real..."

Xu Zhongkang raised his right hand, pressed it down, and comforted him: "Young man, don't worry, please listen to me. First of all, Hong Qi was ordered by the king to capture the city, but King Zhao did not order him to harm the people, so he cannot be taken away." Driving out the people is also an excuse, and you are loyal to the country, right? Besides, he ordered the soldiers to kill and drive away innocent people, and he was inhumane. It is really reluctant to say that he is righteous."

Jiang Shiwu's heart fell back to his stomach before, but at this time Xu Zhongkang's words made him feel uneasy again, and asked in a low voice: "What about Xiaoyun? He seems to be right?"

However, Jiang Shiyun felt that what he said seemed to make sense, but it was actually unreasonable. It was still the way literati used to ask others with the Confucian principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, but he himself may not be doing very well.

Xu Zhongkang continued: "Although the State of Zhao has included the land of the State of Hu, the people of the State of Hu are in constant panic. With people like Hong Qi who use innocent people as a human wall, the people's grievances will not be eliminated, and it is even more difficult to control them. In the name of not surrendering to the butcher, the people of the Hu State rebelled, making the country unstable and the people unable to live in peace, and Hong Qi, as the source of all this, should be dismissed no matter what."

After Jiang Shiyun heard it, he slapped his left hand on the table and said angrily, "To put it bluntly, it's not like all the birds are hiding!"

This is what Jiang Shiyun hates most about civil servants. They do ungrateful things for high-sounding reasons. What's annoying is that you know this, but you can't tell them.

Lin Fangxu was sitting on his right hand side. Seeing that his face was flushed, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his vermilion lips parted and his chest heaved and heaved, he was obviously angry.

Jiang Shiyun suddenly realized that there were also literati on their side, and he turned his head to ask Lin Fangxu to refute him, but he stared at Lin Fangxu's eyes watching the play, and said angrily, "Don't look..., tell me quickly. They!"

Jiang Shiwu approached Jiang Shiyun's ear and asked, "Is Brother Lin okay?" Jiang Shiyun thought to himself, 'How do I know if it's okay? '

Lin Fangxu stood up, cupped his hands towards Xu Zhongkang, chuckled lightly, and jokingly said, "Brother Xu just said that whether Hong Qi is loyal or not is subject to discussion, but my younger brother thinks that Hong Qi is not only loyal and righteous, but also that he will go to hell if I don't go to hell." Courage and responsibility."

Xu Zhongkang, Shang Tan, and even Shang Zhongyan all looked like, "I see how nonsense you are talking about?" ', Jiang Shiwu and others looked confused.

Jiang Shiyun thought to himself, 'Sure enough, literati should be against literati. If you put a big hat on me, I will give you an even bigger hat! '

Lin Fangxu saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, he was happy, and continued to talk nonsense, oh, no!He continued to reason: "Brother Xiansi said that Hong Qi did something unkind, but how do you know that he has no kindness in his heart? He was ordered by the king to lead an army to attack the city, but he couldn't attack for a long time. The infamy of the butcher has fulfilled the grand plan of the king, do you dare to say that he is not a loyal person?"

Lin Fangxu was usually a quiet person. It was the first time that Xu Zhongkang and Shang Tan knew that he had such eloquence, and they almost wanted to applaud him with high fives.

Jiang Shiyun's eyes lit up, and he smiled and praised: "Well said!"

Lin Fangxu smiled at Jiang Shiyun, and continued: "Let's talk again, Senior Brother Xu's remarks about being sloppy and inhumane are even more absurd. Military orders are like mountains, soldiers dare to disobey orders, we are here to blame Hong Qi for being inhumane, but who will go? Blame the soldiers for being unkind? What's more, Hong Qi's order saved the lives of the soldiers, and he also led Zhao Guoerlang to earn military merits, and sacrificed the benevolence in his heart for Pao Ze, fulfilling Pao Ze's loyalty to serve the king, and returning home safely to serve his parents Xiao, how can you say he is unrighteous?"

Seeing that Xu Zhongkang was said to be speechless, Jiang Shiyun felt refreshed to get his revenge. He stood up with bright eyes, and said confidently: "That's right, Hong Qi not only has benevolence in his heart, but also a true husband of great loyalty and righteousness!"

After speaking, seeing Lin Fangxu looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he smiled embarrassedly and sat down embarrassingly.

Lin Fangxu saw the little brother who was still in high spirits just now, sitting there shyly with a thin red face, caressing his beating heart inadvertently, averted his eyes and continued: "My little brother thought that he should not be dismissed from office at the beginning. Neither brother Xian Si nor Senior Brother Xu can understand."

Both Shang and Tan nodded. A literati has the position of a literati, and a military general has the stance of a military general. As a literati, Lin Fangxu is on the side of the military general, which really makes them unable to understand.

Shang Zhongyan sat at the top, calmly waiting for what Lin Fangxu would say next. As for Jiang Shiwu and Chen Kai, they were completely reduced to background boards.

It's really confusing to hear, how can one moment be unkind, and another moment be loyal and righteous. After Xu Shixiong finished speaking, several people already thought it was unfaithful and unjust. Now that Lin Jieyuan said it, he felt that it was true before He wronged someone, obviously he is a benevolent and loyal person.

Lin Fangxu no matter how many people were entangled in their hearts, his face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Hong Qi is because of improper strategy, excessive killing, or even killing all the birds, but it can't be used to drive away the people of the enemy country. Dismissed due to grievances. The two countries are at war, and the grievances have long been deep. Zhao Guo’s army is divided into three groups: left, middle and right. Not to mention the commander and supervisor, there are more than a dozen generals, and Hong Qi is not the only vanguard general. Which one is not Stain your hands in the blood of a barbarian, and dismiss you from office to clear up old grievances, are you done with it?"

Shang Zhongyan tapped his knee with the index finger of his right hand, stroked his beard with his left hand, and looked at Lin Fangxu who was talking eloquently with a smile in his eyes. If Shang Daoyu was here, he knew that his father was extremely satisfied with him.

Lin Fangxu looked around and saw a few people with contemplative faces. He paused for a while, and then said slowly after regaining his composure: "Master only mentioned that Hong Qi was dismissed from office, but he didn't say that ten years have passed since Hong Qi was dismissed. The country soon fell to the Wu country, and the power gap between the two countries is not big. Why is it so...? Because many generals of the Zhao country defected to the enemy!...Why did they defect to the enemy? Condemnation, if you win, you may be liquidated for the sake of dispelling public grievances!... Things hurt other people, so Hong Qi should not be dismissed for dispelling public grievances."

After Lin Fangxu finished speaking, the room was full of silence, and a needle could be heard.

Some people understand and are meditating, such as Shang Tan, Xu Zhongkang, Jiang Shiyun.

Some people half-understand and are full of admiration, such as Shang Lun and Jiang Shiwu.

Some people were out of shape from beginning to end, such as Chen Kai, Shang Wanjun and eight-year-old Shang Yu, who were sitting on pins and needles in this atmosphere.

"Clap clap clap..."

Shang Zhongyan's high-fives woke everyone up from their thoughts, and he stood up and said with a smile: "No one will be punished for the first time, but you must know who wins and who loses."

Jiang Shiwu whispered dissatisfiedly: "Obviously we won, why didn't we punish them?"

Shang Zhongyan glared at him bitterly, and said to Shang Tan and the two of them: "Don't just look at the immediate problem, but look at it in the long run. What the predecessors did is often the way of the future, so you need to think carefully."

This time, Shang Zhongyan only asked them to go back to sort out their experience, and did not leave any homework. He taught Lin Fangxu and the three of them alone, and then left school.
