Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 556
"Master, someone invites you outside!"

In the Confucian mansion, 70-year-old Kong Yingda is playing with his "Five Classics of Justice". This "Five Classics of Justice" was compiled by Kong Yingda under the order of Li Shimin. It was originally named "Five Classics of Yishu", which is a representative and authoritative Confucian classic. Annotated book.

The reason is that when this ancient scripture was handed down to the Tang Dynasty, there were many different characters and other scripts due to differences in editions, errors in copying and other reasons.And those commentaries and interpretations have their own opinions, and there are many disagreements.

In order to clarify their own ideas, interpreters often spare no effort to explain in detail, resulting in many words and complicated words, which are complicated and difficult to read.

Later, Li Shimin ordered Yan Shigu, the servant of Zhongshu, to correct the text of the Five Classics, and Kong Yingda, the Guozijian sacrificed wine, to write Yishu, which was later changed to justice.The so-called justice is to re-comment the original annotations of the scriptures to unify different theories and make them easier to read.

"Five Classics of Justice" took many years to complete and publish.The book consists of 180 volumes.

It can be said that it was a masterpiece at that time. After the publication of "Five Classics of Justice", it was accepted by all walks of life as the official final version, and it has always been in a unique position.All imperial examinations are based on this book.

However, there is a regret here, that is, "Five Classics of Justice" has always been a handwritten copy, and the printing has not yet taken shape in the Tang Dynasty. Now the biggest reliance of the Tang Dynasty is the handwritten copy.

However, hand-copying has many fatal flaws, such as slow speed, inability to make mistakes, etc. Therefore, although this "Five Classics of Justice" has been completed and has been recognized, it has not been circulated. Kong Yingda, who is already 70 years old, is most worried What, then there is no doubt that he is worried that he may not see the spread of "Five Classics of Justice" until he dies.

This should be Kong Yingda's biggest regret.

"I don't see you!" Kong Yingda rejected the notification from his housekeeper without even thinking about it. At this time, he was most focused on continuing to improve the "Five Classics of Justice". You must know that "Five Classics of Justice" was his painstaking effort. He doesn't want others to bother him.

"Ah!" But the housekeeper paused and said, "Master, the person here is from Dunhuafang. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qi has invited you.!"

"King Qi?" Finally, Kong Yingda slowly put down the pen in his hand. Although he was a little puzzled, he showed a hint of wanting to go and said: "I have long wanted to go to Dunhuafang. This time, King Qi is here to invite you." It just so happens that I will take a trip to Dunhuafang to see if the people's livelihood in Dunhuafang is as good as it is rumored."

After finishing speaking, Kong Yingda stood up and said, "Since King Qi invited me to go, I'll go and you go prepare the car."

"It's master." The housekeeper smiled slightly.

And when Kong Yingda was about to go to Dunhuafang, there were still some people in Chang'an who were also leaving for Dunhuafang. They were Yu Zhining, Yan Xiangshi, Zhang Xuansu, and Du Zhenglun, a total of five great scholars.

So why did Li You invite five great Confucian scholars to his Dunhuafang at once?

Hey, there are two things in total, one thing is to make Li Zhi famous, and the second thing is to punish Chai Lingwu. At this time, Chai Lingwu has already relied on the power to occupy at least [-] mu of Yongyetian from the government soldiers. Time to start netting.

But in order to avoid head-to-head confrontation with Chai Lingwu and Li Tai, Li You wanted someone who could pull Chai Lingwu down with a curve. You must know that the great Confucianism Li You invited this time also had a common characteristic, that is, they hated evil like hatred.

Not to mention Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining, they are just two stones in the latrine, which are smelly and hard. They once scolded Li Chengqian as a dog, the kind of wise nose scolding, no matter what kind of prince you are.

When the other three looked at each other, Zhang Xuansu and Du Zhenglun were similar. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong issued an order to repair Luoyang Palace for patrolling.Zhang Xuansu wrote a letter of remonstrance after hearing the news, thinking that "A Fangcheng, Qin people dispersed; Zhang Huajiu, Chu people left; and Qianyang completed his work, the Sui people disintegrated." The disadvantage of building Luoyang Palace and destroying the Sui Dynasty is that it is not as good as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Your sister, this is so rampant, Li Shimin just wanted to repair it for Luoyang Palace, this old Zhang scolded him, if you want to repair it, you are not as good as Sui Yang Emperor, it is really too much, that is, Li Shimin, who changed anything For an emperor, it would be easy to cut directly.

Why don't you compare yourself to the emperor of a subjugated country, or worse than the emperor of a subjugated country? If you don't kill you, tell me who to kill?

Du Zhenglun was even more interesting. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Du Zhenglun once again served as the Minister of Zhongshu, and he was still the Prince Zuo Shuzi, and he was given the title of Marquis of Nanyang County.Tang Taizong once told Du Zhenglun: "My son suffers from foot disease. It's just a trivial matter, but he is so fond of villains that he doesn't have a good reputation. You should always persuade him. If he doesn't listen to the teaching, you can come and tell me."

Later, Du Zhenglun tried to persuade Prince Li Chengqian several times, but was not accepted, so he told Li Chengqian what Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian immediately filed a defense.

It means father, how can you say that about me, what kind of petty person you are, this is what your father should say about a son?
Li Shimin was also very angry. This is a conversation between you and my ministers. How could you tell Li Chengqian? Afterwards, Li Shimin asked Du Zhenglun, "Why did you tell the prince what I said?"

On the contrary, Du Zhenglun replied innocently: "I persuaded him, but he didn't accept it, so I used His Majesty's words to frighten him, hoping that he would be afraid, and maybe he can change from evil to good."

I almost pissed Li Shimin to death. What kind of thing is this? There is nothing I can do about it. These people are all stubborn people. If you are bitten by these five people at the same time, then basically, you will die Grilled skin.

The five Confucian scholars had already arrived at Dunhuafang. Li Zhi greeted them personally at the entrance of the workshop. At this time, Li You was sitting in a newly built primary school. It is a bit like an elementary school, with a big playground in front, and a two-story school teaching building behind the playground, with a total of 80 classrooms that can accommodate [-] to [-] students.

Each classroom has independent desks and chairs, and the teacher’s podium also has a blackboard. Of course, chalk is also available. This chalk is very simple to make. During the production process, the raw gypsum is heated to a certain temperature to partially dehydrate it to form plaster of Paris. The gypsum is mixed with water to form a paste, poured into the model and solidified.

Standing at the gate of the elementary school, Tie Yu walked to Li You's side.

"Are you ready?" Seeing Tie Yu, Li You asked slightly.

"Back to Your Highness, I'm ready. Just three days ago, I returned to the previous village. There was no accident with you, Your Highness. The five old government soldiers in the village were cheated of their fields, a total of 350 acres.

I told them His Highness's words of help, and hoped that they could go find those cheated soldiers and come to Dunhuafang to beg you. Unexpectedly, I found about 200 soldiers in one fell swoop, most of them were old people. And the physically disabled, now they have no way to live, so I hope that Your Highness will give them justice. "

"Okay!" Li You smiled and nodded: "I'll give you a wink later, as long as you see my wink, bring those people in, cry to me, and show all the evidence. Tell them that as long as they do well, not only will they get my support, but they will definitely be able to get back their Yongye Tian.”

"No!" Tie Yu bowed and retreated silently.

At the same time, at the gate of Dunhuafang, Li Zhi had already received Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Zhang Xuansu, and Yan Xiangshi. After seeing the five people, Li Zhi quickly saluted and shouted: "Master Kong, Yu Master, Master Du, Master Zhang, Master Yan."

After shouting, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Zhang Xuansu, and Yan Xiangshi also returned the salute together: "His Royal Highness King Jin."

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Five masters, my brother Wang is already waiting for five masters inside!"

"Oh, can King Jin tell me what is the reason His Royal Highness King Qi asked us to come this time?" Kong Yingda asked.

"Hee hee..." Li Zhi laughed: "Five masters, this time my brother Wang invited you to my Dunhua workshop to prepare a great event for you, but this matter is still up to my brother Wang Tell the five masters."

"It's quite mysterious. Then let's go. If today's matter is not good, then His Royal Highness King Jin will compensate us." Zhang Xuansu smirked.

"Ah!" Li Zhi was a little panicked: "Master Zhang, what happened today has nothing to do with me, how can I compensate you?"

"It's very simple. If we think this incident is not a good one, then you can help copy a copy of "Five Classics of Justice". How does this master feel?" Zhang Xuansu laughed.

"Agreed." Yu Zhining was the first to raise his hand: "I heard that His Royal Highness Jin Wang is very free now, and he is still looking for maids in the palace. Copying a copy of "Five Classics of Justice" can help His Highness Jin Wang take some boring time away."

"The old man also agrees." Yan Xiangshi smiled slightly.

"Everyone agrees, and the old man certainly agrees, so it's settled and the old man has to inform His Royal Highness King Jin in advance, but there is nothing good to make the old man happy." Kong Yingda laughed badly, and followed into the carriage.

The other four also got into their carriage, leaving Li Zhi standing outside the door alone, wanting to cry without getting tired.

Copy an entire "Five Classics of Justice". There are no good people among these old men. Li Zhi followed up angrily. However, today's "Five Classics of Justice" is destined to be impossible for Li Zhi to copy, because Li You will get What came out would shock the five old men collectively.

So Li Zhi will be safe.

After a while, the carriage of the five old men arrived at the side of the newly built primary school in Dunhuafang. As soon as Li You saw the primary school, before Li You had time to salute, the five old men got off the carriage together.

Among them, Kong Yingda looked at the elementary school in front of him with a hint of surprise and said, "Is this the elementary school that His Royal Highness King Qi will promote throughout the Tang Dynasty?"

Li You looked at Kong Yingda's surprised look, and nodded with a smile: "Yes. I don't know, are you satisfied, masters?"
