Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 264 Opportunity
Back in the East Palace, all kinds of porcelain in the East Palace were smashed to the ground by Li Chengqian. The servants and maids at the side looked at the scene in front of them and squatted down tremblingly, not even daring to lift their heads.

At this time, Li Chengqian's eyes were a bit bloodthirsty, if someone disturbed him at this time, Li Chengqian was not a person who could easily let others go.

At this time, Li Baiyao, the right concubine of the prince, came to the room, glanced at the sundries broken by Li Chengqian, waved to the trembling maids and servants to let them retreat, and then said to the prince, "Prince, you have lost your composure!"

"Master Li!" Li Chengqian originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw Li Baiyao, he still saluted respectfully.

Li Baiyao looked at Li Chengqian, and said calmly,

"The king of Yan fought with his life, and finally won the chance to compete with you on the same stage. The king of Yan is afraid that his morale will be high, and he is preparing to show his ambitions.

If you continue to do nothing in the East Palace, I am afraid that soon after King Yan returns from victory, his might will really compete with you! "

Li Chengqian looked at Li Baiyao in surprise when he heard Li Baiyao's words, and said, "Master Li?!"

Li Baiyao watched Li Chengqian regain his composure from his anger, but showed a gratified smile, saying,
"Since the prince is awake, now we need you to know that we have no way out in this battle, and we cannot afford to lose!"

Hearing Li Baiyao's words, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, looked at Li Baiyao and said, "Master Li, why are you willing to tell me something?"

Although Li Baiyao was the right concubine of the crown prince, these official positions were arranged by Li Shimin, and most of them were used to educate and supervise Li Chengqian.

Although Li Chengqian is the main one in name, whether they can be dispatched is another matter.

But this time Li Baiyao was willing to take the initiative to participate, which Li Chengqian did not expect.

After all, the battle between himself and Li Tai, no matter whether he wins or loses, has little impact on these veteran officials.

But Li Baiyao calmly said, "It's not a personal grievance between me and King Yan, but a dispute between morals, so I don't want King Yan to gain power!"

When Li Chengqian heard Li Baiyao's words, he was somewhat at a loss,
"Although Qing Que is cunning and clever, what he has done can be regarded as doing his best for the country. How can he argue with Master Li!"

Well, although Li Chengqian was very unhappy looking at Li Tai, he still admitted Li Tai's ability.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't feel so much pressure. If I belittled Li Tai too much, it wouldn't make me look very imposing.

"Because what King Yan wants is to enfeoff, but what the ministers want is to unify the prefectures and counties, and the ministers will never be in the same position as them!"

Li Baiyao said decisively at this time, but without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately understood why Li Baiyao was willing to help him, and quickly said,

"Qingque is perverse and self-righteous, thinking that he can shake the system of great unity with his own power, it is indeed superficial and ignorant.

Now that Master Li is willing to help, please tell me how I can do it! "

Seeing that Li Chengqian believed in him, Li Baiyao couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

To be honest, this time it is not just a simple dispute between Li Baiyao and Li Tai. In fact, there is another point, that is, the Confucianism represented by Li Baiyao has begun to intervene in this dispute over the heir apparent.

Because as Li Tai and Li Chengqian became adults, especially Li Chengqian began to really feel the pressure from Li Tai, this finally gave Confucianism a chance to intervene.

To be honest, Confucianism can turn a blind eye to Li Tai's other matters.

Because Confucianism itself is a very inclusive culture, no matter what Li Tai researches, Confucianism can eat and wipe out what Li Tai researches in tolerance.

So Confucianism turned a blind eye to Li Tai's establishment of an agricultural school, or the study of any laws.

Because in the view of Confucianism, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, it is almost time to blame Li Tai.

So the enmity between Li Tai and Confucianism is not that deep, but there is only one thing that Confucianism cannot accept, and that is enfeoffment!

Confucianism is a theory suitable for great unification, but as long as it falls into a situation of enfeoffment, or there are strong enemies outside, the country dominated by Confucianism will decay at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then be swallowed by the surrounding enemies.

For Confucianism, its enemy is not the doctrine of any school at all, but the system of enfeoffment.

Because in the case of enfeoffment, there is competition among all countries, but Confucianism teaches people how to maintain internal stability.

In the cruel national game competition, whoever learns will die anyway. Whether it is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, even the Song Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty, their history has proved that Confucianism is not suitable for the core of competition between countries. program.

Of course, it can be said in another way that it is easier to understand, that is, zombies are rampant, and the Virgin is killed first. Unless the Virgin has crushing power, she will inevitably be eliminated.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Confucianism, because when the country is powerful and unified, Confucianism is the bright pearl of Chinese civilization and the beacon of civilization to educate foreigners, but as long as it is involved in disputes between countries, the weakness of Confucianism will be reflected come out.

If there is only one nation in China, it is not impossible for Confucianism to last forever.

But who made the whole world not only exist in isolation in China, so even though Confucianism was still advanced in the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai was already trying to limit the development of this theory.

And the path Li Tai found is the so-called Enlightenment?Of course not.

Instead, like Li Shimin, he insisted on enfeoffment. He didn't need to deliberately suppress Confucianism, and it was enough to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot.

As long as enfeoffment can be carried out smoothly, countries dominated by Confucianism will naturally be eliminated under constant competition.

Of course, because it is all the competition of the Chinese nation, when a reasonable fig leaf is needed in the end, Confucianism will be brought back again, and the brand of Confucius will be erected.

But still the same sentence, Confucianism is a beacon in prosperous times, and it will be dim in troubled times.

But enfeoffment is the biggest promotion for Li Tai's preaching theory now.

Because of the chaotic environment, people will pursue efficiency, and this will naturally increase support for these productivity-enhancing theories.

Why did the Legalists in the Warring States Period become the theory of unifying the world, because this theory pursues efficiency and pragmatism the most.

But after the great unification, the entire civilization no longer directly pursues efficiency, but needs Confucianism to unify thought and stabilize society.

After experiencing the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and inheriting the Qin, Han, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Confucianism does not say what it will develop in the future, but at least they know what kind of living environment is most unsuitable for them.

So they don't like Li Tai's idea of ​​enfeoffment, even if it is enfeoffment abroad, Confucianism is not willing.

Because as long as there is enfeoffment, there will be competition, and the weakness of Confucianism will be revealed sooner or later.

Confucianism only wants to continue to live in peace and stability in the unified civilization of China until it is destroyed together with China.

Li Baiyao looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Whether the prince is willing or not, the prince will compete with King Yan on the same stage, the prince is sure!?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Baiyao, but smiled wryly, "If I'm sure, why am I sulking here?"

Li Baiyao said, "King Yan is good at management. Since he chose to develop Tuyuhun, there is a great possibility that Tuyuhun will be developed. The only way for us not to fall behind is to withdraw as soon as possible!"

"Master Li, you want me to give up the grass planting plan?" Li Chengqian couldn't help being stunned when he heard Li Baiyao's words.

But Li Baiyao shook his head at this time and said, "I mean, we must complete Longyou's grass seeding plan as quickly as possible!"

"Complete this plan as quickly as possible?" Li Chengqian was a little dazed.

Li Baiyao said, "We shouldn't give King Yan the chance to compete on the same stage, no matter how bad it is, at least before King Yan achieves results, we must first achieve results and escape from the "Grass Seed Project".

Compared with King Yan in terms of management, you are already weak, Prince, and it is unwise to use your own weakness to fight against the strength of King Yan! "

After hearing Li Baiyao's analysis, Li Chengqian immediately became clear about the situation.

No matter how you say it, the current King Yan is still fighting on the front line of Tuyuhun, so he has no chance to farm at all, but he has already started to do this.

Under such circumstances, all I have to do is to stop as soon as possible and finish this matter.

Just like what Li Baiyao said, don't give Li Tai the chance to compete on the same stage, and don't give up where Li Tai is strong.

"I understand!" Li Chengqian regained his composure and calmly said to Li Baiyao, "I will tell Xu Jingchong to speed up and complete this grass seed plan at any cost."

Seeing that Li Chengqian understood what she meant, Li Baiyao didn't say much, just saluted Li Chengqian slightly.

And Li Chengqian smiled back at Li Baiyao.

Li Chengqian felt that Li Tai's victory in battle may not all be a bad thing. Because of Li Tai's rise, the forces that originally wanted Li Tai to be suppressed felt a bit of urgency, so he resolutely bet on himself. .

For a time, misfortune and good fortune depended on each other, and the fate of life was indeed wonderful.

Li Chengqian's order was immediately issued to Xu Jingzong, asking Xu Jingzong to fully arrange the grass planting plan in the shortest time, at least before Li Tai's Hehuang Valley had a harvest.

Li Chengqian doesn't want to care about the process, only the result.

When Xu Jingzong received Li Chengqian's order, his eyes were darkened, and he almost lost his breath.

After all, Li Chengqian doesn't care about the grassroots, although Xu Jingzong came up with the idea of ​​replacing the economy with administration, but as things progress these days, he still understands that his policy of replacing the economy with administration can be carried out, but the premise is that he slows himself down. Advance slowly.

If you get up soon, not to mention the people working at the bottom will run away, even if you are yourself, you may fall into the pit!
Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, thinking that no matter what he said, he had come to power with great difficulty, and he couldn't be kicked out.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, first ask for a sum of money from the aristocratic family.

When they invested more money, I really didn't believe that those aristocratic families would let the money go to waste.

Anyway, even if he was going to die, he would drag a group of people to die together.

The only pity is that Wang Xuance escaped quite quickly, leaving him no one to blame, but now he has to find a way to quickly find one, and he has to get out as soon as possible.

This "Seed Project" is nothing more than a tool to fight against the King of Yan, but if it becomes a competition where both sides clearly show chariots and horses, Xu Jingzong does not think that his administrative ability is better than that of the King of Yan.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong couldn't help sizing up his subordinates, Chang Sun Chong, Du He, Fang Yizhi...

There are big bosses behind each of them, and if I want to attack them, the big boss behind them might eat me up.

Compared with it, it seems that Hu Sizheng is the best bully. His teacher is Zhang Wansui from Taipu Temple, but Hu Sizheng has more or less conflicts with the people in Taipu Temple in order to mix with the prince.

After all, Zhang Wansui is advocating friendship with King Yan. To be more precise, there is a cooperative relationship between Li Tai and Taipusi. Now the racecourse in Gaoling is still making money every day!

And Hu Si is understanding that he will continue to stay in Taipusi, and it is impossible to become the minister of Taipusi in the future, because Zhang Wansui's direct successor is Wei Panti, and he is just Wei Panti's substitute.

So seeing the opportunity of the prince, Hu Sizheng jumped over decisively. After all, there is no greater contribution in this world than Conglong Zhigong, and his own achievements may not be just the prince of the prince.

Hu Sizheng has worked very seriously since he came here. He really wants to make achievements. That is to get up earlier than chickens every day and work more than cows.

Every time when Xu Jingzong was in a state of luxury, it was Husi who was carrying a heavy burden, in order to get the crown prince's appreciation.

Xu Jingzong waited until the princes of the aristocratic families left one by one, and seeing that it was getting late, he lit the candles and then said to Husi with a smile:

"Dhu Ling, I have already reported to the crown prince, your contribution in the "Seed Project".

When the "Seed Project" is completed, at least Tai Pu Shaoqing will not be able to escape! "

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Hu Sizheng didn't believe it, Xu Jingzong might even be fooled by the Minister of the Imperial Palace.

When Husi heard Xu Jingzong's words, he quickly saluted Xu Jingzong, "Thank you Xu Sheren for the recommendation!"

"Huh!" Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard Hu Sizheng's words, and corrected him, "Thanks to the wise prince!"

"Thank you, Prince, for being wise!" Husi heard Xu Jingzong's words, and quickly reacted and shouted loudly.

"En!" Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "Of course, the crown prince is willing to grant you this official position, so are you willing to relieve the crown prince's worries?"

"I will go through fire and water for the prince, and I am happy!" Hu Sizheng naturally expressed his opinion quickly.

"En!" Xu Jingzong said, and then he handed the new one in his hand to Hu Sizheng, and then said calmly, "Let's have a look!"

Husi was looking at the contents of the letter, his expression changed after reading it, he suddenly raised his head, and looked towards Xu Jingzong.

And Xu Jingzong leisurely took the letter from Husi's forehand, put it on the candlestick, lit it, and said slowly:

"Hu Shaoqing, people like me who have no background, don't have many opportunities to climb up, so you should think about it!"

Xu Jingzong burned the prince's letter cleanly, and blew it lightly, turning it into ashes, and walked out of the room leisurely!
Hu Si was looking at the flying ashes, and gradually clenched his fists.
