Wentang

Chapter 773
Although it had been more than ten years since Hou Junji was dismissed, the court had long forgotten about this little man.But after all, when he was demoted, the imperial court had a decree to let the local government take care of him.

Although the so-called supervision over the years was in vain, but after all, it was the imperial court's order, and Sanshui County hurriedly reported the matter to the imperial court level by level.

At the same time, evidence of Hou Junji's violation of law and discipline over the years was also reported.

Li Shimin also heard the report in the morning and saw these evidences, so he was very angry.

He was dealt with on the spot, and the previous Sanshui county magistrates sat back and watched him break the law and discipline without asking, all of them were held accountable and dismissed, and at the same time, he was strictly ordered to hunt down the murderer who killed him.

In view of the fact that these people are entertainers, they probably have already left Sanshui County, so the hunt was handed over to Six Gates.

Six Doors mobilized some people to investigate, but they still couldn't find the murderer.

Not long after, because there was not enough manpower to handle other cases, all the people who were investigating this case were transferred away.The case was suspended there, and soon there was no one to deal with it.

Yue Shan only heard about this incident when he was chatting with others, and he was silent for a while.

This incident was just a coincidence for everyone. Hou Junji bullied men and women and committed all kinds of crimes. In the end, he kicked the iron plate while robbing women and was killed.

Everyone will curse that death is more than a crime, and then applaud those performers to eliminate harm for the people.

However, he knew that things were not that simple, so he told Li Shimin part of the original history, and he also said that Hou Junji encouraged the prince to rebel, and then he died.

The murderer has disappeared, and the six doors cannot be found, which is too abnormal.

If it's okay, he won't believe it.

But it doesn't matter whether Li Shimin sent someone to do it or not. He doesn't have any good feelings for Hou Junji, and he deserves to die.

And he was very fortunate to have Hou Junji to protect him from the knife.

In any case, he had lied to Li Shimin for so many years. Li Shimin must be very angry and wanted to kill someone.

Although it was as if nothing had happened due to various reasons, the anger in my heart must still exist.

Hou Junji, who bewitched the prince to rebel in the 'story', became the best target to vent, so Yue Shan is very grateful to him for blocking the sword.

……

Li Shu's illness has been repeated several times, and she did not stabilize immediately after moving to Yueshan Mansion this time.But generally speaking, it has improved and is gradually easing.

This also completely confirmed his guess that his master left him behind.No matter how he explained it scientifically, no one believed it.

However, he still urged the medical school to speed up the research and come up with targeted drugs as soon as possible.Not to be able to cure her, but at least control her disease and let her lead a normal life.

The quarrel between the new school and the ancient school has intensified, and it has developed to the point that whenever there is literature, there will inevitably be a situation where the two sides spray each other.

It's just interesting that the new school, which has always advocated innovation, holds high the banner of revival and respect for the past.However, the ancient school insisting that the present is not as good as the past calls for people to have dialectical thinking and not blindly respect the past and the past.

Gives a black and white upside-down illusion.

This kind of dramatic effect was brought about by oracle bone inscriptions. The new school had the right to interpret and interpret the oracle bone inscriptions, and everything could be applied to Yin Shang, using the banner of Yin Shang to oppose the Zhou rituals that the ancient school insisted on.

The Ancient School naturally knew this, but there was nothing they could do about it, they could only mobilize their strength to study oracle bone inscriptions.

But every step is slow, and the interpretation standards of oracle bone inscriptions are all in the hands of the new school. It is too difficult for them to break this standard.

What's more, the imperial court also ordered that all Yin and Shang ancient relics belong to national treasures, and only the imperial court can excavate and study them, and others digging without authorization are considered tomb robbery.

In ancient times, tomb robbing required Shatou's family to be exiled.

It can be said that this cut off the chance of the ancient schools to resist from the root.

The new school seized this point and attacked the core classic "Yili" of the ancient school.

Don't think that "Yi Li" is just a book that records the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. In fact, it is the source of the core idea of ​​Confucianism "Li" in Confucianism or the ancient school.

The "Book of Rites" in the Four Books and Five Classics we often say is a collection of interpretations of "Rituals", and "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are independent chapters from "Book of Rites".

Three of the Four Books and Five Classics are related to it, which shows its important position in Confucianism.

After Yue Shan put forward New Confucianism, he injected new ideas, discarded some old-fashioned ideas, and had new interpretations of the Book of Rites, the Doctrine of the Mean, and the University.

The newly interpreted version has little to do with "Yi Li", which is where the biggest difference lies between the ancient school and the new school.

Attacking "Yili" is equivalent to directly attacking the lifeblood of the ancient school. As long as the status of "Yili" is shaken, the ancient school will be completely defeated.

In the past, the ancient school held high respect for the ancient and retro thinking, and believed that the Zhou ritual was the oldest etiquette and law, which originated from the rule of three generations, and the new school had no way to deal with them for a while.

But now there are oracle bone inscriptions, and there are things from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, which are also things from the Three Dynasties period.

Didn't you say you want to go back to the old days? That's good, let's go back to Yin Shang directly in one step.In this way, "Yili" naturally has no value of existence.

This is also the reason why the new school changed its words to talk about retro, while the ancient school talked about change.

They have been cornered and can only talk like this.

But when the ancient school started to talk about innovation, it also proved that they had completely failed.

Of course, the Ancient School knows that the so-called Yin-Shang thought of Xinxue is just a cover-up. In fact, it has nothing to do with Yin-Shang, but they have no evidence.

The oracle bone inscriptions are in the hands of the new school, and people can interpret them however they want, and they can be what they want to say.

……

Before you know it, another New Year is coming, and the officials from all over the world have returned to the court to participate in the court meeting.

And this year is more lively than in previous years. In previous years, many people who were far away did not want to come back, so they found an excuse not to return.

This year, as long as they can come back, they will come back.

The reason is simple, encapsulation.

Since the last decision to restart enfeoffment, there has been no movement until now. Everyone knows that the emperor is waiting for the right time, and the Dachaohui is undoubtedly the most suitable time.

Of course, there are also those who will not come back, such as Su Dingfang and others, who are galloping through the North Sea with their troops.For example, Yangdi Gong Guo Xiaoke and Ashina Sher are running the Ningyuan area (Fergana Basin) and they will definitely not come back.

But compared to previous years, this year is definitely the busiest year.

Routine tandem walking is indispensable, and Zaifu's important ministers are full of people.Yue Shan, the civilian prime minister in everyone's eyes, should not be quiet, he went straight to Sixingping.

He had no choice but to move to the Duke's Mansion in the city, at least to make the family quieter.

This day, Yueshan sent the visitor away with great difficulty, and was about to go to the study to write a book, when the guard came to report that Chen Zhong had returned.

He froze for a moment, and hurried to greet him at the entrance of the lobby.

After a while, Chen Zhong walked in, followed by a boy about ten years old.

"Master." When he saw Yue Shan, he came forward in three steps in two steps, and directly knelt down on the ground, and the young man following him also knelt down.

"Get up, what are you doing with such a grand ceremony? Our family doesn't like this." Yue Shan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and hurried forward to support him and said.

"Just let me kneel. I really feel ashamed for my disciple not being able to come back to fulfill his filial piety for several years." Chen Zhong kowtowed three times forcibly.

Yue Shan had no choice but to take his head, so he pulled him up and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you mean, get up quickly. Is this child Ang Zheng? He has grown so tall."

"Yes, this is my eldest son, Chen Angzheng, who is not up to date. Hurry up and kowtow to your master." After speaking, he kicked Chen Angzheng.

It could be seen that this kick was a real kick, and a pained expression appeared on Chen Angzheng's face.

"Grandson kowtowed to the master." Chen Angzheng hurriedly kowtowed three times as well.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Yue Shan stepped forward to help him up, and then said to Chen Zhong: "What are you beating the child for?"

"If you don't fight, you can't be a weapon." Chen Zhongdao.

"Fart, did I beat you back then, and didn't I see you crooked?" Yue Shan said angrily.

"My ability to teach children can't compare with yours, Master. I can only use this stupid method." Chen Zhong said in shame.

"You, if you don't know how to teach, you can ask me, or..." Yue Shan seemed to think of something at this point, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at him with a half-smile and said:

"Do you want to listen to me, if you can't teach well, just give me the child, and I will teach you for you."

"Ah? That...hehe..." Chen Zhong's expression froze, and he said with a sneer, "Master, you still know me. Since you guessed it, I won't hide it. I really want him to learn from you."

"You, you have learned to play tricks on me after going out for a few years, so there is something you can't tell me directly. If you want to send him to my side, can I still refuse?" Yue Shan said angrily:
"You two brothers are bastards one by one, and none of them make me worry. Feng Yi is the most bastard. He has been away for several years. He wrote a letter a while ago saying that he took his wife to go out to sea for fun, and he will come back next year."

"What a bastard to the extreme, don't laugh, you are not much better than him."

"Yes, yes, master, you taught me the right thing, it's all because of our faults as disciples." Chen Zhong said hastily.

"Forget it, I don't bother to talk about you guys, go for what you want. It just so happens that Feng Yi's son Hongnian is also studying at Longshou Academy, let Ang Zheng go too." Yue Shan said in a waned mood.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Zhong said happily.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Angzheng hurriedly saluted.

"Let's go, let's talk inside." Yue Shan said.

"Yes. Right now, you are waiting outside. I have something to say to Master." Chen Zhongdao.

"What are you waiting for, let's play around in the mansion." Yue Shan called another servant to lead him to play in the back garden.

When he sat down in the lobby, Chen Zhong talked about his work in Liaodong these years.First of all, he himself, already a fifth-rank prince Zhongsheren, was deeply loved by Li Chengqian.

Those who can reach this level under the age of 30, although they are not as good as those who are listed in the political affairs hall at the age of 30, are already outstanding.

If you are successful and capable, at least five or sixty years old, you can be a big boss at the department hall level. If you are lucky, you can enter the Zhengshitang.

Then came Liaodong Sidao. Li Chengqian used all his means and developed very well.

Over the years, two-way immigration has increased the number of Han Chinese, diluting the number of foreigners and accelerating the progress of ethnic integration.

Supplemented by the changing customs and schools all over the place, the rule of the Tang Dynasty has been completely stabilized.

With the help of geographical advantages, the market and the tribes of the grassland were traded, and they made a lot of money.

The local agricultural production has also been restored, and it has developed better with the help of the Central Plains' farming technology and high-quality seeds.

Especially the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes has increased the local food production dozens of times.

It can easily support the logistical supply work of the entire northern front. Su Dingfang cannot lead his troops to Beihai without the logistical support of Liaodong.

Needless to say, Li Chengqian's achievements, Liaodong Sidao are basically his people from top to bottom, it is equivalent to a small kingdom.

The 20+ army of more than 10,000 Zhechong prefectures in Liaodong area can be regarded as his people.

It can be said that he is the most powerful prince in all dynasties.

After listening to his introduction, Yue Shan nodded and said: "The crown prince has already proved his ability, it is estimated that the sage will keep him in Beijing this time."

"Ah? This..." Chen Zhong was very surprised when he heard the news.

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Yue Shan asked.

"No, no, I don't dare to have an opinion on this kind of thing... It's just that this thing is too sudden. When the prince came back from Liaodong, he didn't make any preparations. If he doesn't go back, it may cause chaos there." Chen Zhong Hastily explained.

"This is also a test to see the crown prince's ability to control the place in the capital. If he can't handle Liaodong well, I'm afraid there is still something to learn." Yue Shan said.

This is indeed what Li Shimin meant, otherwise this time, he would send a message to Liaodong in advance and ask him to hand over the work.

If you don't tell him, you'll catch him off guard. Let's see how he can deal with the aftermath of Liaodong in the capital.

"The sage has a far-sighted vision, which is admirable." Chen Zhong smiled wryly.

This is not only a test for the prince alone, but also a test for these princelings.If you fail the assessment, your future career will be difficult.

"I... can I tell the prince about this?"

"Yes, but don't tell anyone except the crown prince." Yue Shan warned.

"Disciple, save it." Chen Zhong said hastily.

"If there is no accident, the crown prince will also leave you in Beijing to help him this time, and even replace a group of officials from the original East Palace. You must be mentally prepared." Yue Shan said again.

"Impossible." Chen Zhong categorically denied it, and then felt that his words were too heavy, and quickly explained: "The officials in the Eastern Palace are talented people sent by the saints to teach and assist the crown prince. The crown prince would not do this."

Yue Shan asked back: "Why do you think the sage called the prince back to the capital? Did he put him in the East Palace as an idler?"

Chen Zhong was puzzled at first, and then thought of something, showing an expression of disbelief, and said: "You mean...the saint..."

Yue Shan said solemnly: "The sage will order the crown prince to lead the cabinet and assist in handling the government affairs."

Chen Zhongxuan stood up from his chair and said excitedly: "If that's the case, the saint is really a wise king through the ages... no, he is also the number one king through the ages."

Yue Shan said with a smile: "Don't kiss this flattery, the sage won't hear it either."

Chen Zhongdao: "It's not flattery, it's from the heart. The way the sage teaches the prince is indeed the only one in the ages."

Yue Shan said: "All right, let's treat what you said is true."

Chen Zhong asked, "Can I tell Your Highness about this?"

Yue Shan said with a smile: "Since I told you, I am not afraid of you telling the prince, and you don't need to tell it. The prince probably already knows by now."

Indeed, as Yue Shan said, Li Chengqian, who was holy in the palace, did know about it.
