Chapter 17 Wei Zheng fainted
"What's there to think about? Scholars are naturally at the forefront in governing the world; agriculture is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken; craftsmen are second, dispensable; merchants are despicable, so they are naturally at the bottom."

Wei Zheng said matter-of-factly.

"Ah."

Qin Huaiyu looked at Wei Zheng as if he were a fool.

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Wei Zheng said dissatisfied.

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the pillars of the country."

Qin Huaiyu said: "At the beginning, this scholar referred to sergeants, not you scholars, and these four people are equal and equally important."

"When Dong Zhongshu dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, this scholar became what you call a scholar, and the so-called superior and inferior classes began to appear."

"Everything is inferior, but reading is superior."

"Tell me, why did he do this?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda with a playful expression, wanting to know their explanation for this.

Kong Yingda was silent.

It's not that there's no way to answer, but it's not necessary.

Because Qin Huaiyu's thoughts are very firm and clear, it is useless to say it.

"Hmph, businessmen are pursuing profits and have no courtesy at all." Wei Zheng was still stubborn: "How can such a lowly person understand the words of a saint?"

"Confucius had 72 disciples and [-] sages under his sect. He was the first to put forward the academic philosophy of teaching without discrimination, breaking the intellectual monopoly of the nobles on the slave class."

"Slaves, in terms of status, are much more humble than merchants."

"Confucius treated slaves equally, so why did his descendants put forward the theory of superiority and inferiority?"

Qin Huaiyu likes to fight with others the most.

He's just a bad guy, but he's good at it and loves to fight!
"I!"

Wei Zheng could only stare.

Do we still want to say that what the saint said and did is wrong?
“Confucius advocated learning and knowing, not being ashamed to ask, but also applying what you have learned.”

"Which of these have you done?"

"Of the six arts of a gentleman, I'm afraid the only one left is studying, right?"

"Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, teaching without distinction, and running the country for the benefit of the world, I'm afraid you can't do it. After all, everything is inferior, only studying is high."

Qin Huaiyu became more and more energetic as he spoke, speaking faster and faster, and his eyes were jumping with irritating happiness.

The young lady and the little lolita looked at the mighty Qin Huaiyu with dumbfounded eyes, their eyes bursting with unprecedented enthusiasm!
To be able to criticize the master who taught them like this without daring to talk back, isn't this amazing?
And Li Lizhi looked at Qin Huaiyu, her eyes flashing with unconcealable admiration.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other in shock.

Is this guy so vocal about his fighting ability?
Wei Zheng was so angry that Qin Huaiyu turned blue and white, but he didn't know how to refute.

Directly using the words of the saints you respect to refute yourself is the most fatal thing.

"You are using strong words to make excuses! You are making nonsense! You are..."

"I don't think you know any other words."

Qin Huaiyu pinched his nostrils and flicked it in the direction of Wei Zheng, and a small black particle stuck to his beard.

"you!!"

Wei Zheng was furious.

He rolled his eyes and fainted.

Qin Huaiyu: “o((⊙﹏⊙))o”

"No way, I didn't say anything..."

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly hid behind Queen Changsun and said with an aggrieved face: "This old man provoked me, why did he fall down?"

"Just say a few words less."

Queen Changsun said helplessly.

"Imperial doctor, where is the imperial doctor!" As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, two imperial doctors with gray beards had already followed him.

One person was diagnosing Wei Zheng's pulse, and the other was looking at Qin Huaiyu warily.

"Look what I'm doing." Qin Huaiyu lowered his head and said to himself with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I didn't make him faint."

Everyone's face was black.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei fainted due to anger. He only needs to rest for a few days. It's not a big problem."

The imperial doctor made a diagnosis and then reported it.

"Well, here are a few people to take Wei Qing back to his house." Li Shimin did not let Wei Zheng stay to rest.

Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, Wei Zheng was basically not suspected.

After Wei Zheng was sent away, Kong Yingda asked Qin Huaiyu: "Then I dare to ask Qin Xiaoyou, what kind of book is it?"

"Uh... it's a story about a gang leader who led more than 3000 horsemen throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, using swords to find people to reason with..."

Qin Huaiyu smiled.

Kong Yingda was silent again.

"My little friend has a clear goal and perseverance. I have already felt it."

Kong Yingda's serious look made Qin Huaiyu stunned.

What did I say? You just said that I have perseverance?
Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaiyu with a different look, and seemed to have thought of something under Kong Yingda's prompting.

"All right."

Li Shimin broke the awkwardness between the two and said, "I ordered someone to clean up a side hall for you, so you can rest there first."

After saying that, Qin Huaiyu was not allowed to say anything more and he directly asked the chamberlain to take Qin Huaiyu to rest.

Looking at Qin Huaiyu's leaving figure, Li Shimin's eyes seemed to have some inexplicable intentions.

"Let's go."

Queen Changsun saw something and left with Princess Changle and others, while Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke were left behind.

"Do you understand?"

Li Shimin asked leisurely.

"Uh... Mr. Qin is a humorous person?"

As the eldest brother, Li Chengqian could only bite the bullet and stand up.

"He's still a liar." Fatty Li Tai was very vindictive.

"He must be a powerful person."

Li Ke said: "This guy... doesn't seem to be afraid of anything..."

After hearing their answers, Li Shimin said directly: "Didn't you feel something from his words?"

"My son is stupid."

The three brothers looked at each other and lowered their heads.

It's not just that they are "stupid", they have already become proficient in this business.

"Do you think he is joking with you?"

Li Shimin said with a serious face.

Seeing that the three brothers still looked confused, Li Shimin felt a headache.

Why are you so stupid!
"He is expressing his governing philosophy and ideas!"

Li Shimin pointed at the three of them and said, "Although Qin Huaiyu looks out of tune, his radical attitude is revealed in his words."

"In other words, Qin Huaiyu will definitely be a sharp knife in the future, capable of cutting everything without stopping!"

"Between laughing and scolding, everything Qin Huaiyu wanted to say has been revealed."

Listening to Li Shimin's interpretation, the three brothers suddenly looked enlightened.

Looking at these three elm knots, Li Shimin said: "When I go back, think carefully and write an article about Qin Huaiyu's feelings. I want to read it!"

After that, he asked people to drive the three of them out.

"Boss, do you understand?"

At the door, Li Tai asked suspiciously.

"No." Li Chengqian shook his head and looked at Li Ke: "Lao San, what about you?"

"You two don't understand, can I understand?"

Li Ke looked like "You two are fools."

"Then what should I do?"

Li Tai said sadly.

"Cold salad!"

The three brothers left dejectedly but with different thoughts.
