The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 263 Li Tai questioned Kong Yingda

Li Tai's words made Kong Yingda blush instantly, Kong Yingda did not expect that Li Tai would take advantage of the loophole for a while.So he said, "Please ask the king of Wei."

"I don't know what position the First Emperor Yingzheng has in your Confucian heart." Li Tai asked Kong Yingda.

"Qin Shihuang Yingzheng was a generation of tyrants who didn't know how to be considerate of the common people, so Qin died after passing on to the second generation." Kong Yingda said bluntly to Li Tai.

"It's not just who unified the world that has been in dispute for hundreds of years, who unified the writing, who unified the weights and measures, and who unified the currency." Li Tai said, looking directly at Kong Yingda.

"These are all products of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng's tyranny, so what's there to show off?" Kong Yingda said disdainfully.

"You Confucians slander the First Emperor so much, it should be because of burning books and defrauding Confucianism." Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda and said.

Li Tai's words definitely hit Kong Yingda's sore spot.Burning books and burying Confucianism is the darkest period of time for Confucianism.It is precisely because Qin Shihuang burned books and robbed Confucianism that Confucianism was hit hard.It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he promoted the removal of hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism, and then slowly recovered his vitality.

"It's nonsense. He burned books and buried Confucianism to destroy the country. The Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, and the country lasted for more than [-] years. However, the Great Qin created by Qin Shihuang was only handed down for two generations. The reason is that he did not respect the sages and Confucianism." Kong Yingda Said to Li Tai angrily.

"It's not that the first emperor didn't know what Confucian teachings are, but that you misunderstood the teachings of the sages. Just imagine, even the Mohist school, which you regard as strange and skillful, will be reused by the first emperor. Not to mention the great Confucianism in your mouth. "Li Tai shook his head and said with a sigh.

"King Wei said that I don't understand Confucian etiquette, so I don't know how much you understand Confucian etiquette, King Wei." At this time, Kong Yingda was already furious.

"Confucius said: When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. It means that the master is the teacher, and he should gather knowledge from all over the world to enrich Confucianism."

"Even the sage Confucius once worshiped the seven-year-old Xiang Lu as his teacher. He also asked the Taoist Lao Tzu, which one of you has inherited it?"

"In your eyes, only Confucianism is orthodox, and any other schools are not considered elegant. You are destroying Confucianism, not promoting Confucianism." Li Tai accused Kong Yingda angrily.

Li Tai's speech was very well controlled, and he did not blindly belittle Confucianism.Instead, they first elevate Confucius, and then reprimand today's Confucian disciples.

Li Tai's words made Kong Yingda speechless for a moment, although he didn't think his idea was wrong.But he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute Li Tai.

But Li Tai never thought about letting Kong Yingda go.I saw Li Tai continue to say: "If you continue to develop Confucianism with your old ideas, it will not be long before Confucianism will completely disappear in the long river of history. It will only become the talk of the people on the streets."

"What the king of Wei said is very true, which is why some people say that Confucianism is sour and corrupt." At this time, Wei Zheng stood up to support Li Tai and said.

"The Confucianism of the pre-Qin is the real way of Confucius and Mencius. The Confucianism we are flattering now should be called Dong Xue. Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Fa, Ming, miscellaneous, and even Shushu and alchemy." Du Yan said.

Although Du Yan and Wei Zheng are both Confucianists, they flatter New Confucianism.In their eyes, old Confucian scholars like Kong Yingda are sour Confucians.

At this time, Kong Lingda was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke. He didn't expect that people from Confucianism would stand up and criticize him.So trembling, he pointed at Wei Zheng and Du Yan and said, "It's an insult to a sage to be in power, I'm not ashamed to be with you."

After Kong Yingda finished speaking, she bid farewell to Li Shimin.After all, he really couldn't stay here anymore.If you stay any longer, you will only be humiliating yourself.

"Father, now Master Kong has realized that he is unreasonable, so he still asks Father to marry them both." After Kong Yingda left, Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, although King Wei's words are a little extreme, but what he said is unreasonable. I also ask the emperor to issue a decree to grant marriage." Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin when he left the class.

Although Wei Zheng is a Neo-Confucianist, he has another identity.That is Jia Liulou's sworn elder brother, that is to say, he belongs to the Wagang faction.

(Dragon Soul is writing romances, not history. So please don't tell Dragon Soul that Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's former department. Dragon Soul also knows this.)
Wei Zheng stepped forward, and the Wagang family members naturally couldn't remain indifferent.So Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin and other representatives of the Wagang family also spoke out to support the proposal.

Even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also expressed their support for Li Tai.Don't look at this simple gift of marriage, it is related to the Mohist family being not recognized.

In other words, from the moment Li Shimin decreed to bestow the marriage, he would admit that the Mohist family was a legitimate existence.Although it does not represent Mohism, it can become the orthodox way respected by the Tang Dynasty.But it said that Datang did not reject the Mohists.

"Since all my lovers think this is feasible, I will decree to grant a marriage." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he personally ordered someone to fetch the four treasures of the study.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial decree issued by the emperor was not written by the emperor himself.Instead, someone who is responsible for writing the imperial decree wrote it, and then handed it over to the emperor for imperial inspection and stamped it with a jade seal.

Today, however, Li Shimin ordered someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, and he took a brush and wrote a marriage decree bit by bit.This also explained Li Shimin's attitude in a disguised form.

Some ministers who didn't stand up to support Li Tai just now couldn't help feeling a little bit of regret at this time.Because they have seen Li Shimin's attitude, that is, Li Shimin supports Li Tai.

"Under the door: I heard that Luo Huan, the grandson of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, and Wei Xinyao of the Mohist family are a match made in heaven. Today, I have specially decreed to bestow marriage and a phoenix crown and Xiapei. I respect this." After Li Shimin personally read the imperial decree, he ordered his personal eunuch to hand over the imperial decree to Luo Huan.

After Luo Huan and Wei Xinyao received the imperial decree, they knelt down again and performed three prostrations and nine kowtows, thanking the Lord for his kindness.

"Luo Tong, Wei Xinyao is dead, let's go to the harem with Li Tai and receive the Queen's blessing." Li Shimin said to Luo Tong and Wei Xinyao.

This time, the people present were even more surprised. Originally, Li Shimin personally wrote the imperial decree and read it out, which already shocked everyone.

Unexpectedly, they were now sent to the harem to receive the blessing of the empress.It is estimated that even if Li Tai and Wu Meiniang were engaged at that time, they would not have this kind of treatment.

The two naturally knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor again, then got up and stood aside in a dignified manner.They didn't follow Li Tai to the harem until after the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.
