back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 602 So bold!
"Presumptuous! Kong Lin, you are so bold!"

Lu Chengqi slapped the dragon chair angrily, and stood up abruptly.These four reasons are simply aimed at Lu Chengqi's New Deal.He thought Qin Yikang was brought down, oh no, it should be Wang Ting, the green forest thief, and there would be no conservatives in the court.Unexpectedly, the Chinese are like this, they like to maintain their status, and they are not happy to see new things.The power of the conservatives far exceeded his imagination.No, another Kong Lin popped up, and he was still the stunned-headed green type, cursing at Lu Chengqi straight up, almost pointing his nose.

Kong Lin was neither humble nor overbearing, and said loudly: "I came from the Confucian family in Qufu. Although I am a commoner, I must swear to defend the orthodoxy of Confucianism! Your Majesty, it's not that you are presumptuous, but that your Majesty has gone too far!"

Lu Chengqi was angry and angry, stood up straight, and angrily said: "You are a scholar, what do you know! Have you ever been to the people to really see, do you know what the people need! You are self-righteous, I admit, Confucianism is Confucius The theory of Confucius, but Confucius has not been passed down from the sages? Do you dare to say that Confucius was born with knowledge, and everything was created by him? Absurd! Confucius said it himself, he said it without making it, and believed it "Good old" is just repeating the words of the ancient sages and sages. Since Confucianism was not created by Confucius, why can't people discover the truth that the ancients can discover?"

Kong Lin was still waiting to refute, but Lu Chengqi didn't give him any chance. "Taking Guan Xue again as an example, 'establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for the world'. In general, isn't it just a word for 'benevolence'! Isn't it Confucius who loves others? Was it advertised?"

Kong Lin concluded for a while, and Lu Chengqi took advantage of the victory to pursue: "I opened the Royal University in response to Confucius' Confucianism. There are so many laws of heaven and earth, and Taoism has a saying, 'Three Thousand Ways'. There are so many laws of heaven and earth, how could the ancient sages and sages discover them completely? The Royal University is constantly improving Confucianism! As the saying goes, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. If Confucianism stands still, it should be replaced by other theories! The world is changing, and if Confucianism does not make progress, how can it keep up? Besides, I created the New Deal to promote Confucianism. The ten-rank official system gave officials an equal status, and since then there has been no distinction between officials and officials. Confucius said, 'There is no distinction between education'. Only when all people in the world learn Confucianism can Confucianism be true. Officials are different, do officials have a better understanding of Confucianism than junior officials? I don’t think so, the real Confucianism is not just talking about it, but doing it!”

Kong Lin was rendered speechless by the refutation. In order to save the defeat, he said in a panic, "Then why did Your Majesty increase the army?"

Lu Chengqi said coldly: "Everyone is familiar with history books, do you know Ran Min?"

Who is Ran Min?Emperor Ran Wei, the most outstanding deed in his life was "killing Hu Ling".During the Western Jin Dynasty, many nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall took advantage of the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and when the national strength was weakened, they successively established non-Han regimes, forming a period of confrontation with the Han regime.Among them, the Huns, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di are the five major tribes of Hu people. In fact, these five Hu tribes are representatives of the Huahu people who were in chaos at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the number is far from five.For more than a hundred years, the northern ethnic groups and the Han people established dozens of countries of varying strengths and sizes in North China. Among them, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms existed for a long time and had great influence.During this period, the Han nationality almost perished.If it wasn't for Ran Min's "Killing the Hu Order", which allowed the Hu people to see the bloody courage of the Han people, I am afraid that the Central Plains would have been occupied by the Hu people long ago.

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart. It is not fabricated by "Zuo Zhuan". Today, we Han people can have today's prosperity, how can we lose blood and brave people? If you want you, Kong Lin, to fight in battle, what can you do? What? Can you protect the family and the country, and defend the people of the Han family to the death? Huh, if there were no warriors, the Khitans would have entered the Central Plains long ago! As far as I know, Confucianists in the Han Dynasty were not unable to carry their hands or shoulders On the contrary, they are full of pride and eager to make contributions. Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, how heroic is he? Why are Confucians today proud of not practicing martial arts, but ashamed instead?"

Lu Chengqi's words were tantamount to directly negating the civil servants present.It is determined that they have studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, but they can't get the point.These civil servants were very disdainful in their hearts, but due to the power of the little emperor, they dared not say anything.

Only Kong Lin, the "guardian of the Tao", still persevered and continued to chase and beat him fiercely: "Your Majesty's words, I dare not agree!"

"It's normal for gentlemen to be harmonious but different. I don't want you to understand. If you understand, the chief minister of the cabinet will be replaced." Lu Chengqi was not afraid of big things, and directly expressed his expectations for the chief minister of the cabinet— —The best thing is to have both cultural relics.

After Xu Chongguang heard this, he didn't have much reaction.He had a disagreement with the little emperor's political views, which had long been known throughout the court.It's just that in many cases, the little emperor would accept most of his suggestions, provided they did not involve the New Deal.In fact, Xu Chongguang has nothing to pursue. He already knew that he and the little emperor were just dreams in the same bed, and when he woke up from the dream, he should retire.

On the contrary, some officials from Xu Chongguang's faction in Shangshu Lin Township of the Ministry of Household Affairs were a little bit annoyed.Not to mention that Xu Chongguang is also the chief assistant of the cabinet, he is a warrior, what qualifications does he have to be the chief assistant of the cabinet?
Kong Lin argued: "Your Majesty, there are precedents in the previous dynasty..."

"The literati chaotic dynasty is even more of a scourge!" Lu Chengqi added in his heart, but he said: "Could it be that the literati can revitalize the country? I don't see it. If I didn't try my best to change the business tax, Can Dashun be where it is today? You civil servants are high above you and understand the sufferings of the people? Not to mention what you can do, just make a decision, which is completely different from the needs of the people! Forget it, I don’t want to hit you. Stop and discuss later. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to do?"

Kong Lin held back his words, and was about to quote the scriptures, but the little emperor didn't give him a chance, and blocked his words directly.Silently, he returned to the ranks with his wat in his hand, and Liu Geng, a member of Zhongshushe next to him, said in a low voice: "Kong Jizhong, you are too impulsive..."

Kong Lin sighed softly and said, "It's all about human effort..."

Liu Geng twitched his mouth and said nothing more.

At this time, an official wearing a fourth-rank official uniform came out with a court wat and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zou, I have a book to play."

Lu Chengqi saw that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember anything.No wonder, it is said that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but in fact, there are far more than one hundred officials in court.In the Daqing Palace, there were at least two hundred people standing there.Coupled with the rain today, the total number of those small Beijing officials in the side halls on both sides is about four to five hundred.If all the officials below the eighth rank were recruited, there might be thousands of officials in Chang'an city.There is a folk joke that knocking down a person at random in Chang'an City may be a petty official. This is really not bragging.Coupled with the establishment of the ten-rank official system, the number of officials in Chang'an City will only increase and will not decrease.

"The minister is Tao Juqing, the Minister of the Household Department, and he is in charge of the expenditure of the treasury..."

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi thought to himself: "The meat show is coming!" He glanced at Xu Chongguang and Lin Zhenzhong where the old god was, and then scanned all the officials who were known to be Xu Chongguang's faction. He paid attention to their expressions. fundus. "It really looks like that!"

"...Forgive me bluntly, if you continue to spend without restraint, the treasury will only have 700 million yuan left, and within a month, there will be no money left in the treasury!"

When Tao Juqing said this, everyone in the court was shocked: "What, the treasury is out of money?!"
