Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 747
"Kong Ming? Are you from this name?"

"Exactly. I don't know what advice the prince has?"

"The old man is the official school order. With His Majesty's order, you are in charge of the official school. Your Excellency is just a state shepherd who has been let go. With your own relatives, you have to forcibly intervene in disputes that you don't understand the meaning of. What do you want to do? This old man is unwilling to talk to you. This matter is a matter between the old man and Hua Xin, and it is also an official matter. Here, only the Son of Heaven, me, and Hua Xin can discuss it. You How dare you participate?"

Wang Lang stroked his beard and spoke softly.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "It is indeed inappropriate for me to participate in the private affairs of officials and schools, but this matter has already been brought up in front of His Majesty. As a minister, how can I not solve the emperor's confusion? As a minister, it must be like this. Veteran, my whole life is for the affairs of the state, and I am loved by His Majesty, how can Your Excellency not know such a superficial truth? Could it be that the prince thinks that it is wrong for me to explain to the Son of Heaven?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is a wise king who will never appear in a thousand years. He is intelligent, benevolent and righteous. How can we need a junior like you to give advice?"

"Your Majesty is naturally like this, but His Majesty's ministers are not capable ministers who have not been born in a thousand years. Their mediocrity and inaction make His Majesty worry. What can we do?"

"You!!!" Wang Lang gritted his teeth and was speechless for a while.

"Okay, since the prince doesn't say anything, then I can participate in the affairs of officials and schools. Why should I agree with Hua Gong's words? It is only used for the treasury. People with high morals like princes don't care about the so-called copper stink. However, princes need to know that if there are no such copper-smelling things in the treasury, the soldiers have no food and clothing, the officials have no salary, and cannot help the people, the big man will not be a country! Could it be that in the prince’s view, this matter of promoting school education? , is it more important than a big man?"

"Don't show off your tongue!" Wang Lang looked at the three people in front of him angrily. Xun Yu didn't say anything. Beside him, Hua Xin even looked at him with a smile, waiting to see his own joke, this damned traitor, and the junior in front of him, Wang Lang didn't expect that he could speak so well!

No, I can no longer be led by him. The topic is on his side, which is extremely unfavorable to me. If you want to steal the topic, everything must be done under your control. If Hua Xin doesn't make a move, he will deal with such a young I am not afraid of the young boy, young people are proud and arrogant, and in their own rhythm, they will definitely make mistakes, and their chances of winning are still very high, right?
"Kong Ming, you are still young, and you may not know that in the past, the income of the common people was far less than what it is today, not even one-tenth of it. Now, it is getting better and better. Why? Because there are more talents, whether it is officials in temples or local scholars, farmers, businessmen, and more educated people, the country will naturally be strong and the people will be rich. The people are rich, and the treasury is rich!"

"Over the years, the state treasury has indeed invested a lot in government schools, but is there no return for these efforts? Isn't it because of these investments that we have today's prosperity in all industries and the prosperity of the people? The more government schools are promoted, The people will live better, and in this way, the national treasury will become more and more sufficient, instead of running out of money as you said!"

Wang Lang said seriously, looked at the Son of Heaven, held his beard and said, "However, I won't blame him, after all, he is still young, and I don't know that these things are normal."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, this old man was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

However, if even an old man of official school can't convince him today, how can he persuade all the officials in the temple in the future?

"What the prince said is true. Although I am young, I have read a lot of books and know a lot. I can see the changes in these years. However, as you said, the official school can It is helpful to the national treasury. However, in these years, the big man has still done a lot of things. Apart from the official school, there are more and more things. According to you, the income of the national treasury is constantly increasing, all of which are from the official school. Is it effective? On the contrary, if the fees of government schools are reduced or the fees are increased, I think the national treasury will be more enriched, and the temple can do more other things!"

"And I, a big man, will be stronger and richer, and the treasury will be sufficient, so that I can continue to develop official schools. What do you think, prince?"

"Hehe, have you read a lot of books?? How many books can you read?"

"Your Majesty, I am not talented. I have read with His Majesty since I was a child. I have read almost all the books Your Majesty read. Do you think I have read many books?"

Wang Lang only felt a sharp pain on his forehead. This insidious boy uses the emperor as a shield everywhere, so what can I say? ?Wang Lang gritted his teeth, coughed, and said, "Leaving aside these things, in terms of the meaning of the official school, why should we establish the official school??!"

"During the time of Emperor Weizong Xiaohuan of the Great Han Dynasty, the people were poor and the country was in decline. Why? It was all because the people had not been educated. This is also the case. When Emperor Renzong Xiaokang of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he learned about this and discussed with the great virtuous prince to implement the policy of official learning. , promote Taixue, establish a family, so that the poor families in the world can study, and they can also be officials, and can serve the great man. The disciples of the poor family have paid countless for the great man in these years, all because of it!"

"I, Emperor Renzong Xiaokang, set up official schools with various places, and why? It is only because of educating the people and promoting the way of sages, so that the people know right from wrong, right from wrong, and only then can we govern. At this time, the world is peaceful, foreign enemies are defeated, and all industries are prosperous. The people are of one heart, the beginning of the prosperity of the world! My great Han Emperor Yizong Xiaoxian ascended the throne, and he should govern the country with culture, and make every effort to build official schools with the country, set up unified teaching materials, and enlighten children!"

"It was the year of Xiping, so it was strong! The people have benevolence and righteousness in their hearts, respect the emperor, brothers are harmonious, father and son are filial, and there has been no rebellion in the Han Dynasty for decades. This shows the prestige of official learning. I, Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Xiaoxian, All they want is to promote school enrollment, educate the common people, and make the Han Dynasty peaceful inside and outside, but now, isn’t your idea going against their original intention?”

"Are you acting like this to let your majesty go against your grandfather's will and innovate without authorization, so that the martyrs will be disappointed?? How can you face Xiaokang and Xiaoxian??? How do you let your majesty face them?? En?? Er Wait for these thieves who don't know their loyalty! Dare to bark in front of this old man, don't be ashamed!!" Wang Lang yelled loudly, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and Liu Xi's face became even more serious.

Liu Xi had to pay attention to things involving Xiaokang and Xiaoxian.

Both Hua Xin and Xun Yu looked at Zhuge Liang at the side. They didn't expect that Wang Lang was so old, but his thoughts were exceptionally clear. Even Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it. This old man is amazing!He really deserves to be a great Confucian who has studied Confucian classics all his life! !
Now, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will have difficulty coping with it. Xiaokang and Xiaoxian have moved out. How should Zhuge Liang deal with it?

Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Lang in front of him, his expression became solemn, and he said: "I thought, as a veteran of the Han Dynasty, you are a benevolent old man who masters official studies, but I didn't expect that you would be such an unbearable person." Old thief, you old thief, how dare you talk about Xiaokang Xiaoxian?? What Xiaokang Xiaoxian thinks is not only your Confucianism, but also the people of the world! ! "

"You old thief, do you know the snowstorm in the north this year, or the flood in Yangzhou?? There are countless people who died. They all depend on the relief of the temple to make everything safe. I discuss with you the burden on the treasury of the government and schools, but you want to talk to me Talk about the meaning of nothingness?!?"

"Let me tell you!! What's the point of official studies!"

"My two dynasties, dedicated to the people, set up official schools, not for Confucianism, not for the sages of Confucius, but for these common people!! You think you are noble, and call us thieves! I was thinking, you old thief, I only remember to promote your Dao in my heart, only your own honor and meritorious deeds, but you don’t care about the people, you don’t charge fees, it’s not to help the people and make them rich, it’s just because of your selfishness!!”

"Could it be that you can only see those ordinary people who can't afford to go to government schools?? Can't you see those even more pitiful ordinary people who need temple funding?!"

"You said that the fees charged by the government schools will make the common people afraid to send their children there? You fool, who doesn't know the people of the world, how can you enter this Hall of Virtue? The more you force the common people to go, the more afraid the common people will let their children go. , and after the fee is charged, they will pay attention to it and cherish it. Even if someone refuses to send it because of the fee, when they see other people's children going to government schools and see the difference between their own children and theirs, don't they feel excited in their hearts to let their children Thinking about going to school?"

"In my opinion, you are not worthy of the name of Xiaokang Xiaoxian. A traitor like you is selfish. How can you talk about loyalty? How can you talk about shame?"

Zhuge Liang erupted completely, and his aura overwhelmed Xun Yu, Hua Xin, and even Wang Lang beside him.

Wang Lang stretched out his hand, pointing at him tremblingly, "You are a barbarian."

"I was taught by a barbarian, and I know what is right and what is wrong, and know that the people of the world are important, but you, a self-proclaimed celebrity, are full of utilitarianism. You are not even as good as a barbarian, and you dare to talk about a barbarian. The so-called ignorance of etiquette is a barbarian, and ignorance of loyalty is barbarian, you are not even a barbarian, etiquette, loyalty and righteousness are nothing to you!"

"me!!"

"Shut up!! Shameless old thief! Don't you know that you are so ugly that you dare to talk again!! I think you are older, so I always treat you politely, but you, a flattering minister, how dare you insult my teacher in front of me How dare you be the teacher of children in the world if you humiliate others?"

"I!!"

"Shameless thief, you have lived such a long life in vain, you have not made an inch of merit in your life, let alone a little bit of virtue, unwise, unfaithful, dishonest, unrighteous thief, dare to speak wild words in this hall of virtue!! I have never I have never seen such a shameless person!!"

Wang Lang's face turned red, and his veins bulged. Looking at Zhuge Liang in front of him, he let out a groan, and fell straight down.

For a while, the hall of Houde was quiet. Xun Yu, Hua Xin, and even Liu Xi all looked at Zhuge Liang in horror.

Liu Xi was the first to react.

"Hurry up and call the doctor!!!"
