Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 83
Zhang Zhen tapped Li Buqi with a fan: "Don't force your words, what does Han Wudi's beating of the Xiongnu have to do with filial piety?"

Li Buqi chuckled: "It seems that your Excellency is also an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass. I will not talk about the siege of Bai Dengshan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xiaohui, Maodun Shanyu sent an envoy to leave a letter to Empress Lu saying, 'Your Majesty is independent. Living alone. The two masters are not happy, and they have nothing to worry about. They are willing to give all they have and exchange what they have.' Empress Lu thought it was a great shame and humiliation, and wanted to send troops to attack the Xiongnu. But the ministers thought that the big Han could not defeat the Huns at that time, so they tried their best to dissuade them, so Empress Lu had to compromise , make peace with the princess."

"It's like someone insulting your grandmother with frivolous words. What will happen to you? Shouldn't you make the person who insulted your grandmother pay the price? Or should you be happy?"

"Come and tell me, in order to avenge the humiliated hatred of the ancestors, should Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kill the Huns as soon as possible? Should this be blamed?"

A group of scholars stared wide-eyed.They are still young, and they have been busy studying since they were enlightened at the age of seven or eight, and they have experienced few things. It's not that they haven't read "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", but the husband never connected Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's campaign against the Huns with the shame of the ancestors. They really never thought of the connection between the two.

When they didn't know how to answer, Li Buqi turned to the people who were watching the excitement and asked loudly: "If Emperor Wudi of Han didn't completely defeat the Xiongnu, I would say that he is not a filial son! He is not qualified to be emperor at all! You are right wrong?"

There were quite a few literati drinking in Qinghelou. These people were caught in a tangle for a while, but the rest of them were encouraged: "Yes! Li Daizhao is right!" "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a kind!" "This is what a Son of Man looks like!"

Seeing this situation, Cui Xianliang knew that he could no longer argue with Li Buqi on whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should fight the Huns. He has taken the moral high ground, but it is too embarrassing to admit defeat like this. He rolled his eyes and said loudly : "But this is the hatred of the Han and Wu family. It is inhumane to mobilize millions of soldiers and tens of millions of people in the world just to avenge one family!"

Li Buqi exaggeratedly tilted his head and looked at him angrily: "Haven't you heard of the phrase 'the master humiliates his ministers to death'? The king has been insulted, does the minister still have the face to live? This It's shameless. It seems that you don't even know loyalty to the emperor and shame, and you have read all the books of sages into the dog's stomach!"

Cui Xianliang and Zhang Zhen didn't expect that Li Buqi would directly call them dogs, and they were furious: "Li Buqi, don't bully others too much!"

Li Buqi laughed and said, "It's too much to deceive people? You keep saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a foolish emperor, but I still want to ask you if you know that it was Emperor Wu of the Han who 'dismissed all schools of thought to respect Confucianism'?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a faint emperor, I don't know what you want to tell others?"

This sentence made all the scholars break out in cold sweat.Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu’s suggestion of “abolishing Confucianism from a hundred schools of thought”. You said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a foolish emperor. Do you mean that only foolish rulers respect Confucianism?Or is it that Dong Zhongshu assisted a foolish king?Or is Confucianism just used as a fig leaf for the faint king?

Follow this line to extend down and generalize, it's terrifying to think about it carefully!The existence of such a pure and innocent Confucianism actually came to power by cooperating with a foolish king. This f*ck is to deny the legal status of Confucianism!
Now a group of people are caught in a dilemma. If you admit that you were wrong, you will lose face. If you don’t admit that you are wrong, then Li Buqi can make yourself speechless with just a few words, and you will lose face.

Alas, they are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old middle-school kids, who just stamped their feet and left a sentence "Li Buqi, you wait" and then left amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Li Buqi just shook his head: The pattern is broken, you are too young to fight with me.

Now no one disturbed him, he had a good drink, and Wang Zhaoming's tongue became dizzy, so Li Buqi had to ask several people to take him to Wang's house with Wang Zhaoming's companion.

The Wang family has always had strict family education. Wang Xianying, the fourth son of Wang Deyong, heard that his son was drunk and hurried over to see him.At this moment, the servant girl reported that the old man had come, and Wang Xianying rushed out to greet him.Wang De entered the room with a wave of his hand, and asked the waiter to step back first, "Sheng Wen, why did you drink so much? Aren't you able to deal with those soldiers with ease?"

Wang Shengwen struggled to get out of bed to greet him, but was stopped by Wang Deyong, so he lay on the bed and said, "Grandpa, grandson is happy today."

"Oh? What's the fun?"

"Grandpa knew that the champion his grandson envied most since he was a child, but he never let his grandson say it in front of others. The grandson knew that the grandpa was worried about his grandson's future. But today someone said that he would do it Champion. Those big headscarves wanted to find fault, but they were scolded speechless. What a joy!"

"Who is this?"

"It's Li Buqi..."

After listening to his grandson's intermittent narration, Wang Deyong's expression was very exciting, and he kept his mouth open for a long time, and even his hand stroking his beard stopped there for a long time.After a while he shook his head and said, "How did this Li Buqi have such a long head? He was able to come up with such a set of excuses. From this, it can be seen that this son is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the officials value him."

"Actually, as long as he can really make those big headscarves dare not casually act like warriors in the future, our army in the Song Dynasty will have some confidence in reproducing the elite soldiers of Taizu. So you should learn from him, but his method of training soldiers will not work. As long as you can learn a little bit of his speaking ability, it will be enough for you to benefit from it for the rest of your life."

When he was about to walk out of the room, Wang Deyong stopped again: "Sheng Wen, you didn't say in public that you envy the champion, did you?"

Wang Shengwen hurriedly said: "Although my grandson drank a lot, but I understand in my heart that I dare not say this in public."

Wang De used this to go out with confidence.

There were so many people watching a debate in Qinghe Tower, and naturally it spread like a wind in Bianliang City.Among other things, some of the guests who had been drinking in Qinghelou hurriedly settled their bills and went looking for friends to show off after the debate was over because they had the capital to show off.What a great conversation piece, it won't be fresh after a night.

So Yan Xianggong heard the report that night, and on the way to court, Yan Xianggong had been calculating the possible consequences of this incident.In the eyes of others, this is nothing more than an angry debate among a few young scholars, but the prime minister who has been in the ups and downs of his career for 40 years has seen a deep crisis.

Yan Xianggong has been an official for nearly 40 years as a child prodigy, and he has often quarreled with his political opponents and fought with his pen. Therefore, he is very clear that there are many contradictions in the history of Confucianism. Consciously hiding these contradictions, let the emperor think that the teachings of Confucianism are the only ones, which are what they said.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the mouth of the Confucian scholars, is a stupid king who used military force and brought disaster to the country and the people.At this time, Confucian scholars will automatically ignore that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set the policy of "exclusively respecting Confucianism", and he is the great benefactor of Confucian scholars.Therefore, the emperor, who was surrounded by Confucian scholars in the deep palace all year round, never had any doubts about the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.But now Li Buqi opened a gap in the curtain surrounding the emperor, which might induce the emperor to see a different world through this gap.

Let's not talk about anything else.Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could conquer the Xiongnu for the sake of filial piety, then the ancestral home of Zhao Guan's family is Zhuozhou. Wouldn't it be more important to retake the burial place of the ancestors of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun?Shouldn't the land of Yinxia, ​​which was lost by the ancestors, be taken back?Zhao Guan's family ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Since filial piety was involved, this matter could not be ambiguous. It was necessary to prepare for war and promote warriors to lead the army.This is to create a literati's rebellion.

There are ten thousand alpacas in Yan Xianggong's heart, and thousands of words are turned into a single sentence. This is really not afraid of heaven and earth, but afraid of Wufu being educated.

But now Xianggong Yan has no time to punish Li Buqi, because Lu Yijian's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and those who wait and see in the court will soon launch a wave of impeachment of Lu Yijian, which is what needs the most attention now.Now he was even more worried that those pretentious scholars would write something again, and he didn't know what they would write under the excitement of the crowd.After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the emperor, and the Zhao family was also the emperor. The emperors all had common needs. It is about to be destroyed.Alas, I'm really worried.
