I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 The Battle of Benevolence and Righteousness
In fact, every year, this link is the climax of the Scholars Conference. It is often a wonderful occasion for each to quote scriptures, spit out lotus flowers, and show their personal demeanor and insight.Therefore, many talents are eager to try and express their opinions on stage.

Most of the time, everyone is more restrained. Even if they don’t agree with other people’s opinions, or they are a little too radical, everyone laughs it off and doesn’t care too much. , have to fight for right or wrong.

…………

"Everyone, since the beginning of this year, the Hu people have frequently violated the frontier, which has brought great disasters to the big Han, and countless people have been displaced. Therefore, this time we are mainly discussing the battle between the Hu and the Han, so I will start by throwing bricks to attract jade."

Yang Tingjie said unceremoniously: "In my humble opinion, Hu Hanzhi is a family. Why are swords and soldiers facing each other? What do Hu people lack? It's just money and food. Why don't we give him some money to send them away? The majesty and benevolence of the country, and the sacrifices of the great Han soldiers, in exchange for the stability of the border, and a sense of peace, why not do it?"

After Yang Tingjie finished speaking, the audience immediately felt like a frying pan. Some scholars felt that this was an old-fashioned way to seek the country, while some scholars said that this was a way to betray the country and capitalize on the enemy, which is absolutely not allowed.Two scholars in the field frowned and said nothing.

On the contrary, Yang Tingjie looked at everyone very proudly, knowing that his "high theory" had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he seemed to be secretly applauding his conspiracy.

Yang Tingjie is the eldest son of the Hongnong Yang family, and Yang Biao, the current Situ, is his uncle with a deep background.His eyes have always been above the top, he is used to unrestrained behavior, and he likes to speak out loud, naturally to show his extraordinary insight.

Because of his prominent family background, many people are unwilling to offend him.

Soon, some scholars began to praise Yang Tingjie's stinky feet in the field, and some students said brazenly: "Senior brother is right, since the barbarians are here to ask for money, let the court reward them with some. , there is no shortage of this little property, so what's wrong with getting the world peace like this?"

"That's right, it's a huge profit. It can solve the border disaster once and for all. Brother really has a great idea, I admire it!" Another group of scholars also echoed.

A large part of the people at the scene felt that it was very reasonable. After all, the lives of the soldiers and common people of the Han Dynasty are always higher than these gold and silver, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.

In other words, it's just a waste of money to eliminate disasters, it's no big deal.

It was just nonsense, and Li Shimin was also shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect that these scholars didn't want to join the army and serve the country.

The world is going downhill, if the country is full of these servile scholars, then the court is doomed to have no hope.

In the Warring States Period, when the seven heroes were fighting for hegemony, the Qin State was ambitious and intended to annex other vassal states.In order to use the power of Qin to attack others and defend themselves, the six countries competed for land, making their own national power weaker and weaker. In the end, "the king of Qin swept Liuhe, and the tiger looked at He Xiongzai!" and achieved other people's hegemony.

The lessons of the predecessors have been laid out there bloody, and it is sad that these people still do not know how to reflect on themselves.Now, these white-faced scholars still want to bribe the barbarians with money, continue to sing and dance to promote peace, and enjoy the false peace and prosperity, which is extremely ridiculous.

Just as he was about to go up to refute, he heard someone say: "On paper, scholars are misleading the country. The barbarian is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it. He even thinks about rewarding them with money. .”

Li Shimin looked over, and it turned out to be the down-and-out scholar who just uttered nonsense. At this time, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he seemed to be full of anger.

The man walked up to the ring with righteous indignation, cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask Li Dacai, according to what you said, every time a barbarian comes, he will give it once. When is the head? What is the use of the taxes paid by the people to the country? Give it directly to the barbarians, and spend money to buy peace!"

Yang Tingjie said boldly: "The common people should pay taxes and pay food. This is the obligation of the Han people. The imperial court will give a part of it and reward the Hu people to eliminate this matter. What's wrong with turning hostility into wealth? And we can also send people with high morals. Go forward to influence them, why use swords recklessly, resulting in casualties of soldiers on both sides, and displacement of the people."

As soon as this remark came out, all the scholars present nodded their heads. The idea of ​​the great man's celestial kingdom has been around for many years, and he always thinks that the Hu people are barbarians who are not educated and despise them very much.

In fact, this is also the view of most scholars. They always feel that moral education can resolve all disputes, and it would be great if they could enjoy peace without using weapons.

The down-and-out scholar smiled instead of anger: "According to the words of the talented man Yang, the barbarians will be paid once every time they come, so what use is my Han army? Alien races are wolf ambitions. If they can easily get what they want, That appetite will only get bigger and bigger. When our national strength is exhausted, the foreign race will grow stronger by sucking our blood without any effort. At that time, we, who are strong and weak, are in the opposite direction in terms of national strength and force, and we will How to resist? By that time, what the barbarians want is not simple property, but my great Han country, will they compare benevolence, righteousness and morality with you?"

At this time, there was no sound on the field, and most of the scholars were shocked by his words. In their minds, they seldom considered such deep-seated issues.

At that time, most of the scholars fantasized about talented scholars and beautiful women, and romantic affairs. As for national affairs, they really didn't care much.

At this time, Yang Tingjie was a little bit annoyed, he thought that his high opinion would win applause from all the halls, but he didn't expect to be rendered speechless by this little-known kid.

Immediately he said very angrily: "Hu people grew up on horseback since they were young, and they have been trained to ride horses and shoot arrows since they were young. One million, when the time comes to trigger a war between the two clans, what can we do to resist? Ordinary people will be injured in the end, don’t you have the heart to watch them die miserably under the knife of barbarians.”

At this time, Yang Tingjie was concerned about the country and the people, and everyone was also infected by his words, showing admiration.

Seeing that everyone was acting like a little girl, the down-and-out scholar was a little disappointed and didn't want to say any more.

Li Shimin, who has been watching the theater here, really can't listen to it anymore. The scholarly style of this big man is so decadent, without any iron bones, which makes him very disappointed.
