After a silence, Lu Deming said: "Can I understand that the Queen of Yin teaches the princes to cultivate the fields, so that Queen of Yin lets them know that it is not difficult to know, but that it is difficult to do it. Harmony is actually difficult to do it, right? Then, how does Queen of Yin view the learning of his ancestors?"

"The Master" was Li Yuan's title of Confucius.

Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty appointed Confucius as the posthumous title of "Wen Sheng Nifu", Emperor Jing of Northern Zhou Dynasty was named "Duke Zou Guo", Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty pursued him as "Nifu", Emperor Gaozu of Tang established "Nifu", Emperor Taizong of Tang established "Zhao Sheng" and changed it to "Xuanfu", Emperor Taizong of Tang established "Long Daogong", Emperor Gaozong of Tang pursued Laozi as Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, and established the Taihe Palace for sacrifice.

During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he was almost obsessed with "three consecutive titles" to Laozi: Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Xuanyuan, who was the "contemporary" of Confucius, who were in power, were far from reach. During this period, the ruling people were more like a "face project" for Confucius, either a teacher, a father, a man, or a saint, and had never made any breakthroughs.

In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Confucius was given the title of "King of Xuansheng Wenxuan". Four years later, Zhenzong posthumously respected the ancestor of the Zhao Xuanlang, the god of Taoism, and was named "Shangling Gaodao Jiutian Siming Baosheng Tianzun Emperor" and the temple name was Shengzu. Confucius' posthumous title was changed to "King of Supreme Saint Wenxuan" because he avoided the title of "Xuan" of the Holy Ancestor.

Zhu Xi wrote the collection of four books and ushered in the peak of the development of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, gradually regaining its vitality, and establishing the development of Confucianism for hundreds of years later.

In the 11th year of the Great De of Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Wuzong, who had just ascended the throne, had enthroned Confucius as the "King of Great Secret of Wenxuan". Later generations praised him, "Since Confucius, many emperors have respected him, but there are no ones like Yuan Wuzong." Mencius's ten thousand chapters said, "Confucius is called "Gathering of Great Sepulchre". The sound of gold and jade is used to boost his power." At this point, the superposition of Dacheng, the supreme saint, and Wenxuan King gave Confucius a title of "top level".

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, "willing to talk about the Tao of the Confucianism with all Confucian scholars" and set up various schools to carry out Confucian education. The imperial examinations were all based on the classics of Neo-Confucianism, and the Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty was further transformed into Neo-Confucianism. In people's eyes, there was only the study of Confucius and Mencius, and they regarded Confucianism as the only sacred scripture in the world, and sublimated the Confucianism class into a belief in Confucianism.

But in the ninth year of Jiajing, the madman Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong, instructed the Grand Secretary Zhang Cong to change the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous.

After the Qing army entered the pass, Confucianism became a powerful means for the Qing government to gain recognition from the people. The Qing emperor invited Confucian scholars to give lectures, and also appointed them to compile the classics. Confucius was named "The Greatest Saint Wenxuan Master" in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi personally wrote a plaque of "The Memorial of the Master of All Ages" for the Confucius Temple, and Emperor Yongzheng issued an edict to "give Confucius' ancestors and five generations of ancestors and five generations to be crowned kings."

Four hundred years ago, from the year when the Tang Dynasty was established, the horn of the Yellow Turban Rebellion marked the prelude to the great unrest. Four hundred years of turmoil are enough to change anything, including China's mainstream ideas.

No matter how profound the world has an impression of Tang poetry, or whether the source of the ancient literature movement fell on Han Yu, the Tang Dynasty was an era when Confucianism, metaphysics and Buddhism coexisted. Emperor Wude even stipulated the order of Tao, Confucianism and Buddhism in his teaching ceremony last year.

Therefore, Yin Qingfeng's denial would not make Lu Deming feel so embarrassed. He would not try to find famous saints from the volumes of classics to subdue Yin Qingfeng and prove how sacred and inviolable Confucianism is. He only wanted to know how Yin Qingfeng, who is famous for his talent, viewed Confucianism and could speak the remarks that made him feel moved.

Yin Qingfeng said: "The younger generation is trying to understand what the "Tao" the ancestors are looking for."

His words immediately made people nervous: How old are you to explore the way of heaven?

"Everyone knows that before the emergence of Taoism, those who explored the way of heaven were all called "Taoist", including Guanzi, Guiguzi, Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, Han Feizi, etc.."

In the eyes of Lu Deming and the other two, this sentence was not very outstanding. They followed the Confucian Confucians of the pre-Qin period rather than the Han Confucians. Confucians of the pre-Qin period did not deny the theory of other schools.

"I wonder if the three elders have heard of the allusion of blind people touching elephants?"

Lu Deming nodded. He and the Buddhas had debated a lot about the meaning of Buddhist and Confucian scriptures. This allusion comes from the Chang Agama Sutra, which is one of the four Agamas in Northern Buddhism.

"The sun and the moon are lit by themselves without anyone burning, the stars are sequel by themselves, the beasts are born by themselves without anyone making, the wind is automatically without anyone fanning, the water is flowing by itself without anyone pushing, the grass and trees are planted by themselves, etc. All of them are Tao. If Tao is regarded as this elephant, the various schools of thought and Buddhism are just one of them blind.

Learning the Legalists can make people abide by the imperial law and learn Yin and Yang schools can know Yin and Yang five elements. Learning the Mohist schools can know both love, not attack, saving, and use, and learning ghosts. Tianzhi learns farming, but farming, and having enough food and clothing. Learning the military schools can know how to prosper the country and strengthen the country and use soldiers to destroy the country and the kings. Learning the Confucian schools can know how to be kind, forgive, sincerity, and filial piety.

Confucianism focuses on the moral cultivation of gentlemen, emphasizes the complementary between benevolence and etiquette, attaches importance to the five relationships and family ethics, advocates education and benevolent government, reduces taxes and taxes, criticizes tyranny, strives to rebuild the order of etiquette and music, protects the country and the people, etc. But, is it enough for a king of a country and a minister of a dynasty to practice these? Of course no, Confucianism only touches an elephant ear and an elephant foot

So, is it necessary to teach the King of Zhongshan or to educate the people of the world based on Confucianism or supplement?

The younger generation believes in the "simple of the way" and knows that a person's time is limited. The younger generation will not investigate what every book explains in every family and every classic. It is enough to understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, know not to bully the weak, know that the supreme and filial piety, know that only by giving can you get rewards, know that you are strict with yourself and lenient with others, etc.!

What is left is to turn yourself into an ordinary commoner and experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of commoners.

What are the common people most afraid of and what are the most worried about? How to protect themselves when drought and floods come, how to collect three or five buckets of extra money, seek medical treatment and ask whether the land needs to be sold, and whether marriage and funerals require debts

If you only know the words of the saints in the classics and do not personally experience them, how can you verify that the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. How can you be a good official and a praised emperor?"

After a long silence, Lu Deming asked: "What is the simplicity of the great way?"

Yin Qingfeng replied: "See through the appearance of its essence."

In addition to Li Shimin, they were all excited.

"If the king regards the people as grass, then one day the people regard the king as enemies as the enemy, and the country is second to the king, and the king is inferior. It can be explained as: "The king" makes the people unable to survive, and the people will overthrow the king in the prosperous era is the king, and the king in the troubled times is the dog of the family!

The essence of governing the country is: kings and officials should please the people, let the people know etiquette when their granaries are full, and they should know honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing. If they do not care about the lives and death of the people and exploit them at will, then wait for the country to destroy their kingdom and king!"

Lu Deming asked again: "The Marquis of Yin started his career as a craftsman and was famous for his business. How did the Marquis of Yin view the four theories of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce?"

Yin Qingfeng said: "The Four People's Discussions were first proposed by Guan Zhong.

He said: When you are young, you will be at ease and you will not see foreign objects and move. Therefore, the teachings of his father and brother are not solemn, and the children are able to learn without hard work. In this way, the sons of scholars will always be scholars, the sons of farmers will always be farmers, the sons of workers will always be gongs, and the sons of merchants will always be Shangs.

First, to this day, the Four Civil Theory should be changed to the Six Civil Theory of Scholars, Peasants, Industry, Business, Business, and Scholars, and the remarks such as "The son of a scholar is always a scholar" have long been unworkable.

In the eyes of younger generations, farming is for both feet, and can stand between heaven and earth without falling down as hands, so that people can have silk covering their bodies, houses covering the wind and rain, and live in the world and trades as blood, and transport east, east, south and north to allow people to enjoy a better life in addition to having enough food and clothing, and protect themselves from invasion of foreign races. Only a sumptuous meal of three meals a day can ensure health of their bodies.

What about the scholar? The scholar is the heart of the body. Without a heartbeat or pulse, the body will die. But can the scholar be humble to the other five people?

Scholars are not only called scholars by those who study Confucianism. Cangjie did not create characters for the Confucianism. As long as those who know the text and make characters are all "scholars".

In the eyes of younger generations, Dong Zhongshu, who proposed to abolish all schools of thought, was a shame for the descendants of Yanhuang!

A scholar is the heart, which is important to the body, but how can the body survive without the legs, hands, blood, weapons, and delicacies?

If a scholar has a sense of superiority, he will try his best to suppress the other five people. If a scholar has a sense of superiority, his legs and hands will be disabled, his weapons will be dull, his blood will be poor, and his food will become poisonous."

"Okay!" Li Shimin slapped the table, "It's so good! The Tang Dynasty was established, not only could this weapon not be dull, but it also had to sharpen it!"

Yin Qingfeng didn't expect Li Shimin to suddenly make a fuss.

The old Li Gang was startled, "Your Highness, even if the world is prosperous, you will die if you are wary."

"Warring will perish?" Li Shimin pointed at Yin Qingfeng, "This kid is saying that not only can he not perish, but he will also prosper the country!"

Li Gang and Lu Deming have been famous for half their lives, and it was a good idea to become the emperor's grandson. It would be better if another famous scholar and scholar replaced them, but they were still a young man. Although today's competition is not a dispute over interests or reputation, their desire for Yin Qingfeng's school examination has a long history.

They were able to accept Yin Qingfeng to teach the King of Zhongshan before, and the three-character scriptures given to them by the prince. Judging from their experience for more than 70 years, it is not an exaggeration to call these two small books the Holy Book of Enlightenment. However, it is not impossible to write these two books that are familiar with the classics of the ancestors. Who is Yin Qingfeng studying and what kind of talents is there?

They were curious, but the prince said that they would not contact him. They could understand the meaning. A few days ago, when the king of Zhongshan wanted to return to the Eastern Palace, they tentatively asked if they could meet Yin Qingfeng. Unexpectedly, the prince said that they would bring their children and grandchildren to the competition.

The competition is better, but I don’t know who is more talented and knowledgeable. They don’t believe that they have educated people for many years, and they are not as good as a young man.

Today, the class was a young lady who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. If the Three Character Classic she explained was not considered to be a perfect match, they would have to give a direct advice on the spot.

Incredibly, the two items called blackboard and chalk were clearly aware of how powerful their functions would be.

On the school, the teacher wrote on the blackboard, and every student below could clearly see that this was much simpler and clearer than teaching each other alone, and the professor's effect would inevitably improve several times.

No matter what Yin Qingfeng's talent is, just the rules of disciples, the three-character classics, the blackboard and the chalk can make him famous for all ages. Therefore, they are more looking forward to meeting Yin Qingfeng.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yin Qingfeng gave them a good feeling. His facial features were not outstanding, but the gentlemanly wind that was as gentle as jade came to their faces. When people saw it, they felt trustworthy.

His remarks only occasionally quote ancient books, but more of them are his own vernacular. Although these vernaculars make them somewhat uncomfortable, the truths are profound and easy to understand.

From the explanation of desire, to the unity of knowledge and action, to the simplicity of the great way, the Six People's Theory, through their free talk, they have a kind of enlightenment. Especially the saying "Looking at its essence through appearance" can be said to be a famous saying for exploring the way of heaven.

But how can a person who can make such profound remarks dare to say things about warlike Xingbang?

"The major affairs of the country are sacrifices and wars." Also, "Those who have won the temple before the battle will have to be counted as more or less than the battle will have to be counted as less." "Managing troops in the temple is etiquette." If you want to attack, you must overcome them, defend them, and win the battle will have to be held in the ancestral temple. You must obtain the "help" of ancestors or ancestor gods so that you can have political legitimacy and religious sacredness.

As a major event in the country, the war must be "sentenced" with five things: Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law. The first is to "Tao" of "get the Tao and help the people" as much as possible, and only by uniting the top and the bottom can we achieve victory.

Even if "the truth is more helpful", the wise men said: "Good governance and not attack, good at attacking, good at attacking, good at attacking, good at attacking, good at attacking, good at attacking, good at fighting, good at fighting, good at fighting, good at fighting and not fighting.

In the past two years, the prince's reputation for "good governance" has spread all over the world. Why did he listen to the words of the young man, "attack", "invade" and "attack"? Are you not afraid of war and destruction? Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there are still few wars in the world? The Li Tang Dynasty has begun to show its glory of prosperity, so why not stay with the people and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous era?

"I don't agree with the words of the King of Yin who is wary of rejuvenating the country."

Yin Qingfeng said: "In the Shang Dynasty, Gui Fang, Hunyi, Yu, Yu, Yu in the Zhou Dynasty, Rong, Di in the Spring and Autumn Period, Hu in the Warring States Period, Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, Xiongnu in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, how many Yan and Huang descendants have been massacred in the past three thousand years?

If the Tang Dynasty did not attack them, would they not go south? How many Turkish invasions have been suffered in the eight years since its founding?

Therefore, for the sake of the great Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks must be eliminated!

It is not a long-term solution to just eliminate it.

Guifang, Hunyi, Yu disappeared, there were also the Qi, Rong, Di, Xiongnu disappeared, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and Turks. The reason why the Hu tribes on the northern grasslands were endless was that the Han people did not completely eliminate them and did not turn the land there into the shore of Rutu!

Defending the Tang Dynasty and the people is just a reason to go to war, and then the meaning of the war is to talk about it.

The essence of governing the country is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. The prerequisite for living and working in peace is to have enough land. The younger generation once told the prince that at the end of the Han Dynasty, because the 60 million people did not have enough land to cultivate, they overthrew the Han Dynasty.

The current population of the Tang Dynasty is about 30 million, and it will reach 50 million in less than a hundred years. How much does it take to divide the land and Yongye fields for 50 million? How much land can be cultivated in the Tang Dynasty?

The northern grasslands can give birth to at least 10 million people. With a population of 10 million, the Tang Dynasty will bear less than 3 million acres of farmland. Then, the land that can be cultivated in the Tang Dynasty is only about 9 million hectares. In other words, the equal-field system cannot guarantee that it will continue to be implemented in fifty years!

Therefore, within these fifty years, the Tang Dynasty royal family must find enough land for the people to reproduce and survive! Otherwise, the war will not be far away!”

Li Shimin was better, but the other three changed their expressions.

It's only been a few days since then, why is there another war fifty years later?

Of course Yin Qingfeng didn't tell any lies.

Although the equal-field system was abolished after the implementation of the two-tax law in the first year of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, the root cause was that it showed signs when he was the empress. Otherwise, there would be no later system of Jiedu.

"The northern grasslands can live in a population of 10 million, and the Qin and Han dynasties in Gaoju can also be resettled in a population of 50 million. Going westward, it will reach the Western Regions Protectorate of the Former Han Dynasty, it will also be able to accommodate 20 million people. There are also Nanyi and Linyi, it will also be able to accommodate 20 million people.

This million population, coupled with the current territory of the Tang Dynasty, can roughly accommodate 200 million people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Based on the population of the late Han Dynasty and the pre-Sui Dynasty, the current arable land in the Tang Dynasty can accommodate up to 80 million people. Once it reaches this limit, no matter how wise the emperor is, the country's destiny of the Tang Dynasty will not last long.

Therefore, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and for our descendants to enjoy peace in the prosperous era, the Tang Dynasty must have a broader territory!”

Li Shimin secretly felt happy. The account that Yin Qingfeng had settled for him was not like this. But Lu Deming and the other two were really scared.

They spent their whole lives in poems and articles, and they didn't know the contradiction between land and population. When they thought that if the Tang Dynasty did not expand its territory, the country's destiny would last for at most two hundred years, they felt chilling.

"But during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the money left behind by Wen and Jing's rule was only barely expelled the Huns for 44 years. How dare the Duke of Yin say that he wanted to destroy the alien races in all directions?"

Li Gang asked tremblingly.

Yin Qingfeng said: "The younger generations have never practiced martial arts, but there are so many martial arts awards in the Royal Military Academy, and they will fulfill the heavy responsibilities assigned to them by the royal family."

Yin Qingfeng didn't talk to them. After talking for a long time, he didn't even drink saliva. Why are you wasting your spit

Although the three people were not satisfied with this answer, Yin Qingfeng’s conclusion just now really scared them. If it were based on Yin Qingfeng’s algorithm, wouldn’t the Tang Dynasty’s reign be like the Han Dynasty?
To be continued...
