The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 216 I, disciples of hundreds of schools
When Chen Jingke came to the Lizheng Hall, it happened that the eldest grandson Wugou was eating.

The little Si was pinned down on the chair, eating the rice in the bowl bit by bit, with an expression of death-defying expression, as if the rice was poisonous.

When she saw Chen Jingke, it was as if she had seen a savior. She slid down from the chair in a flash, jumped over, and said, "Brother, come to see me."

Chen Jingke picked her up, wiped off the rice grains from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Yes, let me see if Xiao Si is good or not."

"I'm so good." Xiao Si raised his chin and said.After speaking, she secretly looked at others, for fear that others would expose her.

This guilty look made everyone smile.

Chen Jingke said dotingly: "Well, the little si did not disappoint me, we must be a good boy."

"Yeah." Xiao Si nodded his head violently.

After they had finished talking about the past, the eldest grandson Wugou asked: "Are you finished talking?"

Chen Jingke said: "The talk is over, I just came from His Majesty."

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't ask what they were talking about, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "That's good, let's eat. Oh yes, it's the little one's meal, you feed her as well."

"Hey, okay." Chen Jingke responded briskly, came to the table and sat down, put the little son back in her own chair, and coaxed:

"Little Si, why don't you eat with your brother, let's see who eats faster."

"Okay." Xiao Sizi said crisply.

Then, while he was serving the rice, he secretly picked up his own small bowl and started eating.The same bowl of rice didn't look like it was hard to eat just now.

Chen Jingke yelled: "Oh, how dare you cheat, little sis, no, no, stop quickly."

The more he said this, the faster the little si ate, and within a short while half a bowl of rice was down.

After eating, he pushed the small bowl in front of Chen Jingke, his chin raised high, with the look of "I'm good".

"Oh, it's amazing how little si eats so fast." Chen Jingke said exaggeratedly: "You guys think so."

The waiters around boasted wittily: "That's right, the lady is so powerful, she can eat faster than a real person."

Little Si is quite proud, if there is a tail, it is already up to the sky.

Children are active by nature, and they start to be dishonest when they are full, even if Chen Jingke is by his side.

However, she was very sensible and didn't disturb him from eating, but ran outside the door to play by herself, and several court ladies hurriedly followed behind to protect him.

After the meal, the maids cleared the table, and the eldest grandson Wugou said: "Speak carefully in the future, don't say anything outside."

Chen Jingke immediately admitted his mistake: "Okay, don't worry, there will be no next time."

Changsun Wugou hated iron for being weak and said: "Don't just say you know it, but keep it in your heart."

Chen Jingke said with a naive smile: "Hey, isn't it sometimes too exciting, and it just comes out bald?"

However, this time it's really not about being bald, but premeditated.

Let Li Shimin agree with him to promote the military and civilian fish and water situation, that is purely overthinking.If this is the case, it will directly create an established fact and let Li Shimin know his determination.

When there is no other way, he will consider a compromise.At that time, as long as I emphasize loyalty to the emperor, he will most likely agree.

After all, it is only saying that soldiers come out of the common people, and they should love and give back to the common people, instead of aiming the butcher knife at the common people.

After careful calculation, Li Shimin's Ni Lin was not touched.

Compared with Mencius's "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least", the idea that the army should love the people is not out of the ordinary.

What happened today also proved that his idea was correct, and Li Shimin finally agreed to his approach.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was, how did the other party connect his thoughts with Guan Zhong?

What kind of brain circuit produces such an idea?
Seeing the attitude of eldest grandson Wugou, she must know something, so Chen Jingke said tentatively: "Auntie, how did the sage guess that my idea came from Guanzi?"

Changsun Wugou put down his teacup, and said: "Don't underestimate people in the world, no matter how secret you hide, as long as you reveal some clues, you may be caught."

"Everything has traces to follow, especially in terms of academic thinking. The thoughts of your Chen family cannot be produced out of thin air, and they must be inseparable from the influence of sages."

"I went through all the thoughts of various schools of thought, compared them with your words and deeds, and found that they are the closest to Guan Zi's thoughts."

"So you guessed it." Chen Jingke was surprised at first, and then understood.

Women's way of thinking sometimes cannot be guessed by common sense, especially for smart women, their thinking is even more out of the ordinary.

She can connect her actions with Guan Zi's thoughts, which is completely understandable.

The eldest grandson Wugou said proudly: "How about it, but I guessed it right?"

"My aunt's eyesight is perfect, I admire it." What else can Chen Jingke say, he can only give a thumbs up and praise for a good guess.

And her guess also gave him inspiration, and I will be Guan Zi's disciple in the future.

When I turned back, I dug up Guan Zhong's works and deeds and studied them carefully to see which ones could be used.

Then connect it with the ideas and concepts I want to promote, pretending to promote Guanzi's ideas.

Anyone who objects to it should go to Guan Zhong's theory.

Chen Jingke can be considered to have touched a little of the ideas of the ancients, and most of them are not opposed to academic innovations, and even welcome them.

Especially for an ambitious monarch like Li Shimin, he hopes that great ideas will be born under his rule.

There is only one premise, your thoughts cannot be created out of thin air, there must be traces to follow.

To put it more bluntly, you can innovate based on the ideas of predecessors, but you cannot create out of thin air.

Buddhism also took the initiative to choose Sinicization, and then it was gradually accepted by the Central Plains.But even now, there are still people who oppose it with foreign paganism.

If he came up with new ideas out of thin air, his treatment would not be much better than that of Buddhism, so the best way is to use his predecessors as a cover.

Guanzi's thoughts are not enough, and there are still a large group of sages such as Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Mencius.

China may lack a lot of things, but there is absolutely no shortage of big names in the field of thought. If you apply the ideas of various schools of thought casually, there is always a suitable one.

What?You ask which family I am a disciple of?I am a disciple of Hundred Schools, do you have any comments?
Such a happy decision.

The hazy thoughts I had while chatting with Li Shimin finally became clear at this moment.

Feeling enlightened, Chen Jingke was very happy, and said: "In fact, our family not only studies Guan Zi's thoughts, but also dabbles in all schools of thought."

The eldest grandson Wugou was not surprised, and said: "I know, you should not only have dabbled in various schools of thought, but you should also have studied knowledge from outside the region."

Chen Jingke gave her a compliment in his heart, and said, "Auntie is wise, that's true. However, the four schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Art of War have the most influence on us."

"The people who have influenced us the most, besides Laozi and Confucius, are Guanzi and Xunzi."

Changsun Wugou suddenly said: "No wonder, Xunzi's thoughts are indeed more pragmatic."

In the words of the unexplainable person: Confucius and Mencius are idealists, Xunzi is materialism, and they are the left wing of Confucianism.

The core of Xunzi's thinking is propriety, but propriety and law are inseparable, and his thoughts are full of traces of law.

That's why he can teach legalists like Han Feizi and Li Si, and he can also teach scientists like Zhang Cang.

His ideas were highly regarded in the Western Han Dynasty and remained mainstream for hundreds of years afterward.It wasn't until the Neo Confucianism in the Song Dynasty began to demote Xun Yangmeng that he was thrown into the cold palace.

But this time is the Tang Dynasty, he has not been treated coldly, it is normal for the eldest grandson Wugou to be more familiar with his thoughts.

The two chatted for a while, and were interrupted by the little girl who was tired of playing alone, and the little girl insisted on finding her brother to play with her.

Naturally, Chen Jingke would not refuse her request, so he played games with her.

The eldest grandson Wugou also stopped at the right time and did not continue the in-depth discussion.

I have obtained enough information today, and I can ask questions later, anyway, the days are still long.

People's fear often comes from the unknown. At the beginning, the fear, suspicion, etc. of Chen Jingke are because he is too mysterious and the things he has mastered are too amazing.

As he got to know more and more about him, Changsun Wugou first let go of his guard, and now Li Shimin gradually stopped being suspicious.

From another perspective, he is also integrating more and more into this world and becoming a part of this world.

Everything is mutual.

After playing with the little son for a full afternoon, he didn't talk about the business until he was about to leave: "Auntie, how is the glass?"

Lifting the glass, Changsun Wugou showed an unconcealable smile on his face, and said, "It's only been a few days, how can I master the skills so quickly, I'm still figuring it out."

"However, qualified ordinary utensils have been made, and now we are studying how to make more patterns and types."

"No accidents, it will be sold outside next month. Why, do you regret giving up the dividend?"

Chen Jingke grabbed the little boy who was circling around him, and said: "No, I want to partner with Cheng, Qin, and Yuchi to sell the glass upside down outside the Tang Dynasty."

"But there must be many people who want to do this business in the future. The goods you released are not enough. I came to you to open up the relationship and ask for more shares."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile: "You don't want the dividends, but you have to work hard to sell glass, why bother?"

"Forget it, forget it, I won't say anything. You don't have to worry about the glass, your share is indispensable."

"Thank you, auntie." Chen Jingke let go of his little scorpion, watching her continue to circle around him, pretending to be arrested, which made her yell.

Looking at this scene, Changsun Wugou felt very warm, sat down beside him, and said, "It's been two months since the appointment of Baiqisi, when are you planning to go there?"

Chen Jingke raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Let's train the five instructors first."

　Thanks to Shuxunshule, 520231419w, Lala, Mango, Baiyizhanjian for their rewards.

　　Thank you.
