Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 72

As soon as Li Buqi said that the law of the ancestors could be changed, the three lords almost burst into anger: "Nonsense! If you don't follow the ancestral system, wouldn't the world be in chaos? How dare you say such rebellious words!"

Li Buqi still looked cute: "This is not the minister's opinion. Nowadays, scholars are talking about it like this. It has been several months. Haven't Xianggong and Shenzheng heard of it?"

Yan Shu then asked, "Who said you can stop following the ancestral system? Why didn't I know?"

Li Buqi said: "In recent months, scholars in the capital have made heated discussions. Some say that the "Zhou Li" is no longer feasible, and some say that the teachings of Confucius are outdated. They have also written many articles to explain this matter. It is a good article. Because I am studying composition, I have collected a lot. After reading it, I think it makes sense. The master is the originator of Confucianism, and "Zhou Li" is also the ancestral system that must be obeyed. Since this can be changed, what else can't be changed? of?"

"That's right. Several Imperial Supervisors have also written articles. It can be seen that the ancestral system is not based on it. This is what the people want!"

Although Li Buqi's reason is a bit far-fetched, it can still be connected.Therefore, Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang became angry: "Who is so bold? He even slandered "Zhou Li" and Confucius? When you look back, you should ask Xuezheng in Tokyo and ask him how he taught his students."

Denying "Zhou Li" and Confucius is digging the roots of Confucianism. Is it tolerable or unbearable?No wonder the two old gentlemen were annoyed.

But Li Buqi said: "Don't get angry, my two gentlemen. These articles are really reasonable. For this reason, the officials have collected a lot, and some of them are placed in the guard's room. Why don't you draw conclusions after reading it? Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Zhen was also curious: "Then let someone fetch it, and I'll take a look too."

So he called a little eunuch, and Li Buqi told him to go to his two officials to ask for the manuscript, and the little eunuch ran away.

Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang are getting older, and they have been more worried about power and tactics recently, they pay less attention to some market news, and they still don't know the situation clearly, but Yan Shu often drinks and composes poems with the literati in the capital. He Zhang Dexiang remembered what was going on when he was angry.

I heard that a group of honorable sons and scholars gambled in front of the four schools for arguing over who is a gentleman. As a result, the honorable sons proposed to use the "six arts of gentlemen" as the standard for judging gentlemen. This is clearly bullying humble scholars Well, of course the scholars did not agree, so they quarreled.Of course, there was no result in the end, but this result is unacceptable to scholars.In their view, their number is the advantage of the crushing level, and they have always held the right to speak. In this case, if they have not won the result, they will lose, so they write articles and vent their feelings.

In particular, the appearance of "I am afraid of whom the ancestral system is in hand" of the noble children angered the scholars even more. More and more people joined the ranks of spraying, and some of them inevitably sprayed more violently.They are all people with high self-esteem, and they must not tolerate being looked down upon by a group of warriors, and it is inevitable to say some outrageous things.

It's okay if this matter is not brought up in front of the emperor. Da Song has never used speech to convict him, and this matter is just a bunch of children's vindictiveness.But today, it will not be that simple once you get entangled with the issues that are being discussed in front of you.On the one hand, Confucius and "Zhou Li" are being questioned, on the other hand, the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty cannot be questioned. This contradiction is not easy to reconcile.

So Yan Shu wanted to quickly change the subject, but Li Buqi had already successfully caught the emperor's attention.Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Yan Shu could only continue to remain silent.

When the little eunuch went to pick up the manuscript, Zhao Zhen asked: "There is a fifth reason, let me tell you."

Li Buqi said: "In the end, it is the teaching and management that cannot be done properly. Whether a soldier can fight depends not only on the strength of his muscles and bones, but also needs to be taught discipline, then cultivate courage and temper his mind, and then train his body to teach skills and strategies. Only discipline Only warriors with courage, calmness of mind, good physique, and skilled skills can conquer the northern part of the Great Wall and make the barbarians change."

Zhang Dexiang laughed at the right time: "It's not easy! You are just talking on paper."

Li Buqi said: "Naturally, I'm talking about soldiers on paper, but at least I have stayed in the barracks, seen how the battle was going on, and heard a lot of stories about the Tang army from people. It's better than never seeing the actual military. more reliable people."

Zhang De seemed to be choking and rolled his eyes.But Li Buqi said that he has practical experience, he really can't refute it.

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Buqi and the prime minister were in a hurry to change the conversation, and said a joke that he thought was funny: "Where to choose people with good courage, character, physique, and skills, I'm afraid it's no less than choosing people." Scholars."

Li Buqi said: "Physical fitness can be cultivated, skills can be taught, courage and temperament are actually the nature of most people, but they have not been discovered by proper methods. Just like He's Bi, without pondering, it is just a stone. The minister thinks that the Master understands this and attaches great importance to enlightenment."

Zhang Dexiang's nephew has always disliked Li Buqi, but he put a lot of eye drops on Li Buqi in front of Zhang Dexiang, so Zhang Xianggong has always been very worried that Li Buqi's wandering in front of the emperor will make the emperor learn badly.Therefore, as soon as Li Buqi finished speaking, he said: "Since everyone has courage and character, why don't you teach the imperial army and see what kind of soldiers you can train."

Zhang Xianggong had been a county magistrate at any rate, and he knew that it was not easy to do practical things.And he also knew that those imperial guards were all at the uncle level, and they would make trouble if things went wrong.That's why Zhang Xianggong asked Li Buqi to use his set of theories to train the forbidden army, so that the forbidden army would make trouble if they were a little careless. At that time, it was necessary to appease the army. If Buqi is thrown out as a scapegoat, Li Buqi will be done.

Li Buqi is not a novice in the workplace. He has been pushed into the pit more times and has rich experience. Of course, he can see the pattern clearly.But he said calmly: "The things to discover the courage and character of the heart should be done when people are young. It is best for people who have not been contaminated by bad habits before. Once people are old, these Courage and xinxing are worn away, and they can no longer be discovered."

Zhang Dexiang's tone was filled with disdain: "Since it's nature, how can it be worn away?"

Li Buqi said: "It's rare and strange for Mr. Xiang. Natural instinct can be worn away. For example, cats have the instinct to catch mice, but some cats raised by rich and noble families have lost this instinct because they don't need to catch mice. Call this phenomenon use it or lose it.”

As soon as Zhao Zhen heard it, he became interested: "Is there a cat that can't catch mice?"

Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang, and Yan Shu shook their heads again and again: "There's no such thing. How can a cat not catch mice?"

Li Buqi said: "Naturally. If you don't believe me, you can do an experiment and find a few cats to try."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, with an expression that he was about to see the result immediately.
