Chapter 9: Born in Worry, Died in Comfort

"Try it. This is the best tea from the Bashu generation. The old man was rewarded by the Holy One. The stock is running out. Ordinary people come here and the old man will not take it out."

Gently pecking at the tea in the cup, Kong Yingda closed his eyes and said with some enjoyment.

Warriors love wine, while literati love tea.

Kong Yingda's affection for tea is no less than Wu Fu's affection for wine. Tea is the first thing he loves in his life.

Qin Feng has his own unique views on tea culture. In his previous life, he has always used tea to cultivate his mind, pursuing tranquility and indifference. Although the tea in the Tang Dynasty is still somewhat primitive, the fragrance is natural, but it cannot be concealed and emanates from the inside.

"Tea has ten virtues: use tea to dispel stagnation, use tea to dispel drowsiness, use tea to nourish qi, use tea to remove disease qi, use tea to benefit etiquette and benevolence, use tea to show respect, use tea to taste the taste, use tea to nourish the body, and use tea to nourish the body Tea can be said, and tea can be used for elegance. Mr. Kong only loves tea, and I am afraid that he has the true taste of ten virtues." Qin Feng also took a sip of tea, and said with some emotion.

In the back hall of the Hongwen Museum, Li Daozong, Kong Yingda, Qin Feng, Changle, and Li Xueyan sat and talked.

The aroma was lingering, and the effort of cupping tea, everyone didn't say much, but quietly enjoyed the physical and mental cleansing brought by the tea.

"Boy, I think what you said yesterday was good, so I came to look for Mr. Kong and asked him if it was feasible. Since you are here, it would be even better."

"What's the matter?" Kong Yingda asked with some doubts.

"This kid has big ambitions! He wants to change his way of learning, and I want to hear Mr.'s opinion. Boy, you came up with the idea, so it's up to you to say it." Li Daozong squinted his eyes, flashing a little inexplicable of brilliance.

Qin Feng was a little funny, but he said it again seriously.

After listening to Qin Feng's words, Kong Yingda was also thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter, but he knew it was a great thing, and what he was thinking about was how to implement it.

"Yun Xiao, what do you think?" After thinking for a long time, Kong Yingda asked the perpetrator.

Qin Feng said: "It's about the future of the empire. The boy has no right to speak. Don't waste such a big event on a reckless man like the boy."

"If all the reckless men in the world are like you, who can write such classic poems, I hope that there will be more of them." Kong Yingda's words surprised Qin Feng. The poor and corrupt image given to Kong Yingda was completely subverted.

This old man who devoted himself to Confucian classics did not seem to be as stubborn as he imagined.

"Sir, you are joking. A disciple is just a grass, but he can't withstand the storm of the family." Qin Feng knows the truth of shooting the top bird, and Qin Feng will not be so stupid as to offend the world's family.

"Aristocratic family, aristocratic family! Not enough success, more failure!" Kong Yingda inherited the behest of his ancestors and had the ambition to educate all people, so he didn't like the family that controlled the world's elite.

"Boy, tell me! I know you have a lot of tricks." Li Daozong said at the right time.

"That's right! Those who educate others must first educate themselves, and those who build themselves can build others. Yun Xiao, your temperament proves that you have fully understood yourself, and you were able to let Luo Tong find a suitable one for him in a short period of time." Directions, prove that you have extraordinary ideas, just talk about your opinions, and I will take care of the family affairs for you as a teacher." After speaking, Kong Yingda's eyes were also tainted with a trace of fanaticism.

Qin Feng smiled wryly, now it seems that Kong Yingda is indeed not a poor and corrupt scholar, but a somewhat paranoid madman.

"Well, since the teacher and Uncle Li have said so, I won't hide from you all the time. You have to be hardworking yourself. The boy thinks that the current system of Hongwen Museum must be reformed."

"Reform? Why reform?"

Kong Yingda was puzzled, and Li Daofa was also puzzled. He never thought that there was anything wrong with Hongwenguan's teaching methods.

"The five classics taught by the Hongwen Museum, such as "Zhouyi", "Shangshu", "Maoshi", "Zuoshi Chunqiu", and "Book of Rites", are also mentioned in "The Analects", "Filial Piety", and "Erya". They seem to have learned the knowledge of the sages, but they have never really realized the true meaning of learning." Qin Feng said seriously.

"Isn't this always the case? Boldly speak your mind."

"I think the knowledge imparted by the Hongwen Museum does not necessarily have to be all the classic words of the sages, but should be learned from all the people around, because labor is learning, eating is learning, doing business is learning, and even having fun is also learning. If They only know how to quote classics every day, and students only memorize some reasonable sentences. If knowledge does not come from life, how can it resonate with people?"

Qin Fengzhi's voice was resonant and powerful. He knew that Kong Yingda was not an overly pedantic person. If he could be persuaded, the education system of the Tang Dynasty would be able to make an unprecedented leap forward.

"Agriculture, business, etc. are all low-grade people. It doesn't seem to be of much use for the students of Guozixue to learn these subjects?" Although he is not a rotten Confucian, the idea of ​​only learning the classics of sages is still deeply rooted in Kong Yingda's thinking. It is not easy for him to admit what Qin Feng said.

Kong Yingda's words reminded Qin Feng of an old saying that everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

This sentence is not simply applicable to the Tang Dynasty. Even after a thousand years, in the era of Qin Feng, scholars are still superior to others in the eyes of many people.

In the eyes of the world, only reading, reading dead books, and reading more books is a glorious thing, but the essence of learning is forgotten, and the uniqueness that people should have is stifled.

"Mr. Kong has said that, if there is no agriculture, how can we have a full meal every day; if there is no work, who will manufacture the armor and weapons that are invincible in the Tang Dynasty; if there is no business, how can the country talk about prosperity? , How can the people talk about food and clothing.”

The art of language is that when others have nothing to say, they cannot refute what you say.

"How to reform, this is not a small matter. Even if I have the support of the old man, I still need to ask the Holy Spirit to make the final decision." Kong Yingda said hesitantly. From the bottom of his heart, he began to waver. The Confucian students of the sages were biased into Qin Feng's camp of diversified learning and reform.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of you, Your Majesty." Li Daozong said confidently with his eyes shining brightly.

"Uncle Li, don't pretend, I know you are the Holy One. You really think I'm a fool." Qin Feng looked at "Li Daozong" contemptuously.

"Ah? How did you guess that?"

"You said it yourself!" Qin Feng glanced at him triumphantly.

"You guys can do it!" As Qin Feng expected, the middle-aged man was not Li Daozong, but the current supreme Li Shimin.

Stealing half a day of leisure, Li Shimin is self-sufficient and self-disciplined as a wise king. He lives in the palace on weekdays and concentrates on handling government affairs. It was rare to have free time yesterday, so he called the guards out for a visit.

I don't want to encounter the matter of Qin Feng writing a poem.

Li Shimin has always loved calligraphy and poetry. Qin Feng's calligraphy and poetry caught his attention, so there was a visit to meet him.

I planned to ask him for his calligraphy views.

Unexpectedly, the chat got out of hand. If it wasn't already getting late, I'm afraid we would have to continue.

But today, I just wanted to ask Kong Yingda, a leading figure in the academic world, for his opinion, but unexpectedly met Qin Feng.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng actually cheated and leaked his real identity.

"Hmph, since I ascended the throne, you are still the first person who dares to call out 'Li Shimin' in person. You have the guts, see how I can punish you for disrespect." Seeing Qin Feng's triumphant appearance, Li Shimin felt very dissatisfied. readily.

Qin Feng didn't care about their threats, and said casually: "The name is meant to be called, otherwise, what's the use of it?"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Feng with a half-smile, and said: "Okay, as you said, names are already called by people. The king of Qin and the emperor who have been called for so long, I almost forgot that I still have a name. And thank you for reminding me."

Qin Feng stood up and pretended to smile: "Thank you for your anger, your majesty, your majesty is wise and martial, generous and benevolent, loved by the three armies, praised by all people, comparable to Yao, Shun, Yu Tang, civil and military Zhou Kong, Qin Feng's admiration for you is like a torrent of mountains and rivers, Continuously, the Yellow River flooded out of control, just like Mount Song and Mount Tai..." Shaking his head, as if wanting to endorse, he praised the Emperor of Tang in front of him.

"Ha ha……"

"Cuckoo..."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Qin Feng's endless praise, Changle, Li Lingyan, and Kong Yingda couldn't help bursting out laughing.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop..." Three black lines appeared on Li Shimin's forehead, and he called stop five times in one breath, "I might be very happy to hear these words from others, but from your mouth When I came out, I felt uncomfortable. Forget it, don’t talk to me about that, I’m really not used to it. Brother Shubao and I are of the same generation, so you should call me Uncle Li.”

He pointed to the seat beside him and asked Qin Feng to sit down.

Qin Feng's nature is free and easy, and he is really not used to yelling at the emperor one by one, so he sat down beside Li Shimin and thanked him.

Li Shimin had no airs of an emperor, waved his hands and said, "You can do it, kid! You said so many words in one breath."

"Hey..." Qin Feng laughed.

"Lingyan!" Li Shimin glanced at Qin Feng and blinked strangely.

"The big thing is not good!" Qin Feng knew that Li Shimin was going to find his place here.

As expected, Li Shimin said: "Lingyan, this kid is not a good person, you have to be careful, he was thinking about you all the time yesterday."

Li Lingyan blushed, and said falteringly, "He's just a bad person." Even so, he was thinking of Qin Feng's fearless look when he took the blame for himself.

Qin Feng smiled evilly, leaned in front of Li Shimin, and said, "Uncle Li, Princess Changle is also very good!"

"You, you..." Facing Qin Feng's words, Li Shimin's face was stiff, his brows were erected with anger, and the beard at the corner of his mouth was shaking up and down.

What can be endured and what can't be endured!
The well-mannered Li Shimin actually made him so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed at him and didn't know what to scold. , I don't care about you... It's not worth it to make you sick with anger."

Qin Feng's expression was baffled, and his eyes widened innocently, I... Fuck, I'm messing with someone!
Isn't that just a compliment to your daughter?

Seeing Qin Fengyou's innocent face, Li Shimin was even more angry. He wanted to throw him out, but then he thought, wouldn't it be too cheap for him?Gathering his mind, he said with a sly smile: "You brat, you must still have an opinion about the reform. I order you to speak out now, or I will reward you with thirty big boards."

He originally wanted to embarrass Qin Feng and kill his arrogance.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was only stunned, and then he winked at the red-faced Chang Le ambiguously and said: "It's so simple? Uncle Li, you underestimate your future talents."

"You..." Well, you actually molested my daughter in front of me.Li Shimin almost swears.

Kong Yingda has nothing to do with herself, and hangs herself high.There, he looked like a master of Taoism who was not surprised, but he was very proud of himself. In the morning, he was so angry with Qin Feng, and now he was so angry when he saw No. 1 in the world. It was quite enjoyable to watch as a bystander .

Everyone has finally seen Qin Feng's courage.

"Hey, sister Changle..." The shameless Qin Feng called out.

"Who is your younger sister?" Princess Changle stomped her lotus feet, her crystal clear and beautiful face was covered with beautiful clouds.

"Sister Changle, your father is my uncle, aren't you my sister or what?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was going to get angry again, Qin Feng put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "Reporting to Uncle Li, teacher, and two younger sisters, I like the academic atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States the most."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda's old face immediately turned red, and he opened his mouth to spit out the half-drinked tea. After coughing for a long time, he wiped off his beard covered in water droplets, and said with a wry smile, "Yun Xiao, can you speak?" Don't be so shocking, or the old man will suffer!"

Qin Feng waved his hand indifferently. He has always been a free and easy person, and the rules are pure nonsense to him. He only heard him laughing: "Let's get down to business, let me ask you a question, how is the current academic atmosphere?"

"Not bad!" Kong Yingda couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's unrestrained rhythm
Qin Feng sneered and said: "I think the academics in front of me are in a mess. Teacher, you are a leader in the academic world. In your life, have you seen the birth of a new academic?"

Kong Yingda didn't have time to think: "No!"

"That's right! That's why the disciple said that he likes the academic atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States the most."

"You mean?" Li Shimin was thoughtful, as if he had caught on to something, but he couldn't say it.

"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the glorious period of the Chinese nation. During this period, Confucianism, military strategists, legalists, peasants, Mohists, Taoists, miscellaneous schools, strategists, and yin and yang schools emerged... It can be said that a hundred schools of thought contended. After nearly a thousand years, China The academic world of the nation is learning from the achievements of the predecessors. Since the Han Dynasty, the academic world has not made much progress. Uncle Li, teacher, do you know the reason for this?"

After drinking half a cup of tea in one gulp, Qin Feng continued: "The reason why the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period became the heyday of civilization is not only the extraordinary appearance of the sages, but also the credit of the monarchs of various countries, because they have adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards academic development. In order to dominate the thinking of the world, each school of thought has made every effort to perfect its own thinking. The debates over and over again have made each theory grow. After countless debates and improvements, a complete system theory has finally been formed, which has influenced it to this day. It's just that since the Qin Dynasty, academics have not only failed to advance, but have even regressed. Up to now, many people mistakenly believe that as long as they memorize the words left by the sages, they are sages. The thoughts contained in each word will only get their shape and lose their spirit throughout their lives, which is the sorrow of an era and the sorrow of Chinese civilization."

"It's really sad to gain form but lose spirit!" Kong Yingda is a leading figure in the academic world, and he has the most right to speak.

Li Shimin also had a deep expression on his face.

"Dong Zhongshu, who put forward the idea of ​​'abolishing all schools of thought, respecting only Confucianism', and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who implemented this national policy, were sinners of Chinese civilization. They branded the popular Mohism as a demon religion. On the surface, Confucianism had already gained the upper hand, but in fact, lost Confucianism, a powerful competitor, has no motivation to move forward. Without competition, there will be no pressure, and without pressure, there will be no motivation to move forward. Over time, this situation has formed. My point is obviously that academics should not be controlled by the government, but It is appropriate to give freedom and let various academic schools advance in competition. Only in this way can ideology and civilization not regress. The army, the physicians rule the people, the Mohists sharp weapons, the peasants cure hunger, the merchants make the country rich, the political strategists lobby the hundreds of countries, the yin and yang schools subjectively change the sky and the wind and clouds, let each of the hundreds of schools have their own strengths and perform their duties, and let the ideas of the hundred schools of thought advance in the competition , for the country and the people in the competition. Reproduce the contention of a hundred schools of thought and create a prosperous civilization. Once the academic atmosphere is revived, the two will be the heroes of the advancement of the Chinese nation."

"Sir, you are a representative of the Confucian school, what do you think of what Yun Xiao said?"

Li Er is not pedantic, and even with a trace of Xianbei blood in his bones, he also has an absolutely crazy factor. If he can leave more words in the history books according to Qin Feng's reforms, he will definitely not persist. Opposition opinions, and even strongly support Qin Feng's reform.

Kong Yingda sighed and said: "Your Majesty, what Yun Xiao said is right. Now Confucianism has reached the period of strong medicine. Alas! Why hasn't Confucianism borrowed from other theories? Confucianism has become the dominant ideology. Without worries, naturally it will not Will move forward. Other theories are perfecting and exploring all the time because of their dissatisfaction. Compared with other theories, Confucianism is like a pool of stagnant water. Such a situation must not be the wish of the most holy teachers. Confucianism has ruled thought for hundreds of years. It is unfair to other theories, and it is also an insult to Confucianism itself, because Confucianism does not rely on itself to defeat hundreds of schools, but to rely on imperial power to profit. Your Majesty, veterans, please issue an imperial edict to change the style of learning in the academic world,'Sheng In sorrow, die in ease' Yasheng is right!"
