    It was beyond everyone's expectation that things had developed to this point.  //Welcome to Reading//Of course, in this situation, the morning court could not continue. Li Shimin quickly asked the imperial doctor to be called, and then sent Kong Yingda to be treated.  The ministers also left one after another as Li Shimin announced the end of the morning court.

    But Li Feng did not leave, because he knew that the matter was far from over yet.  On the contrary, as this happened, the matter became more serious.  If he had followed Li Shimin's prompts and made up a reason at will, maybe the matter would have been resolved smoothly.

    Of course, he didn¡¯t regret making things happen like this.  In life, there are things to do and things not to do.  Li Feng believed that it was not his fault, so it would be absolutely impossible for him to bow his head.

    Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, what he did was a violation of ancestral etiquette and disregard of ancestral rules.  However, what should I say about rules? They are made by people.  Similarly, Li Feng also has his own rules in his heart.  As long as you don't hinder anyone, then whatever you do and how you do it are your own business and no one else can control it.

    And it was obvious that when he shaved his own head, his wife did not find it ugly and did not object.  People like Kong Yingda, however, use chicken feathers as arrows. Not only do they make irresponsible remarks, but they also criticize others and go on the line.  This is something Li Feng cannot tolerate. Therefore, even if Li Shimin has given him a reminder, he will never bow his head.

    As the saying goes, there is truth in enduring the calm for a while and taking a step back to open up the world.  but.  At least here in Li Feng, that doesn't apply.  Life in this world requires some persistence and some self-principles. These things are not something that can be tolerated.

    And often, just this sentence makes countless unreasonable rules slowly form.  In the end, it can make people numb.

    but.  Li Feng knows.  This matter is indeed a bit tricky, especially for Li Shimin.  Some of this embarrassed the emperor Li Shimin.  However, Li Feng doesn't know yet.  It¡¯s just a matter of what choice he will make.  he knows.  Li Shimin will definitely have something to say.

    as expected.  Not long after, someone came to invite Li Feng, saying that the emperor invited him to the Manlu Palace.  Li Feng didn't say anything.  Then he followed directly to the Manna Hall.  As soon as he entered the door of Ganlu Hall, he found that, as always, tables and chairs had been set up inside, and wine and food had been prepared.

    But Li Shimin did not sit on the dragon table. Instead, he sat directly at the table below and started pouring wine into two wine glasses.

    Li Feng was not polite and went directly to sit opposite Li Shimin. Then he picked up the wine Li Shimin had just poured and drank it in one go.  However, when he put the cup down, Li Shimin filled it up for him again.  However, this time, Li Feng did not drink, but looked at Li Shimin intently.

    "Is this a Hongmen banquet or execution wine?"

    After a while, Li Feng picked up the wine glass again and drank it all in one gulp. Then he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. At the same time, he asked Li Shimin very casually.

    "No, I just want us two brothers to have a good drink and have a good chat."

    In response to Li Feng's words, Li Shimin just smiled casually, and then filled Li Feng's cup again while talking, as if what happened in the court just now had never happened.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk, what should we talk about?¡±

    Li Feng was very surprised when he saw Li Shimin's expression. However, he quickly stopped thinking about it and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and said casually.

    "Well, speaking of your fourth brother's call today, although it was a bit reckless, it was very pleasing to the people. To be honest, in fact, I don't like them either. But there is no way. Since the Han Dynasty, the country's  Governance is basically based on Confucianism, which can be said to be a dominant one. The concepts formed over hundreds of years are deeply ingrained and deeply rooted in people's bones."

    "It is true that this Confucian method of governing the country has made the people more docile and easier to govern. However, at the same time, it has also formed a deep-rooted force. Although this force is extremely powerless, they  But the Taoist power that is more powerful than any force makes me afraid of doing many things. Not only me, but also Emperor Qiancao Yang, who is also such a taboo, has a deep taboo against these people.  Dare to make the slightest move¡±

    "In the past, although I felt very uncomfortable about this, I didn't know the root cause. However, after talking to you, fourth brother, several times, I slowly came to understand. I know, I  If you want to achieve something big, your biggest enemies are them, or"The sacred orthodoxy they have always supported"

    "It's a pity that even if I understand, I am still helpless. Putting aside everything else, the governance of this country cannot be separated from this group of people. Although a few days ago, I relied on what my fourth brother provided me.  Chinese Pinyin, as well as the teaching method, vigorously promote education. However, although this method is good, it is not able to achieve immediate results. Moreover, I found that in the end, it is still difficult for these poor people to be used by me.  extremely difficult."

    "Because, the basic literacy teaching in the early stage does not cost much. Ordinary people can handle it, but once it reaches the later stage, the tuition fees required are not something ordinary people can support. What's more, I am very impressed.  What is sad is that often after these people learn, they will always become one of them, which is really chilling."

    "Therefore, the main reason why I keep Fourth Brother here today is to discuss it with you, Fourth Brother, and see if you, Fourth Brother, have any suggestions that can solve this problem once and for all."

    Looking at Li Shimin¡¯s crackling pile, Li Feng finally believed that this guy didn¡¯t leave him here to investigate.  If it were in the past, Li Feng would definitely not care about Li Shimin's bad things.  After all, as long as he intervenes in this matter, he will definitely be trapped in it in the end.

    but.  Today was different. To be honest, he was really aroused by Kong Yingda's gang.  You also know that as soon as this thing starts, it won't end that easily.  Now that we are all on opposite sides, there is nothing left to talk about.

    "I understand what you mean. You mean, you need to have your own talents, right. You have to be loyal to your own talents. Actually, it's simple. You can't just cultivate it yourself. As the saying goes, you can take advantage of others' shortcomings and eat their mouths.  Short. If you want to gain something, you must first give. Therefore, if you want to change the current situation, you must cultivate talents yourself.¡±

    Regarding the situation of the Tang Dynasty.  Li Feng still understood something.  Hearing what Li Shimin said, he understood Li Shimin's thoughts better.  The country has always been committed to cultivating talents.  It was basically a blank slate.  These so-called scholars are basically trained by those aristocratic families themselves.  Then they were selected through recommendation, imperial examination, etc.  Immediately, he became an official of all parties in the imperial court.

    Although many of these people are not children of those aristocratic families, they are always inextricably related to these aristocratic families.  After all, it is really difficult for a poor family to cultivate a scholar.  Without the support of these aristocratic families, no matter how talented he is, he will be buried.

    Let me ask, under this situation, how loyal are these so-called pillars of the country to the imperial court?  Especially when it comes to the interests of the huge family group, it is difficult to say whether they are on the side of the court or on the other side.

    This is an era when talent education is completely monopolized by those aristocratic families.  As for talents, in that era, they were all indispensable to Sin.  Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Shimin and his Tang Dynasty were timid at certain times.

    "I don't want to cultivate it myself. However, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This requires an astronomical amount of money, and, in my estimation, it will be an endless supply. It's not like you don't know that the imperial court  The treasury is so poor. As for money, it is okay for now. If we can really achieve our goal, I will have to find a way to get through it even if I live in a pinch. "

    "But, I discovered that these scholars. I don't know what's going on. Are they all stupid from reading? Or is there some magical power in this saint's book? Often, these people, well how should I put it?  , is to make these people's thoughts become virtuous. I am really afraid that when the time comes, the people who have been cultivated by selling iron and tightening their belts will end up making wedding dresses for others. Then I might as well be like that.  It¡¯s like this now¡±

    It¡¯s not that Li Shimin has never thought about cultivating talents himself, nor has he ever done it.  However, this effect made him feel a little sad.

    "Bullshit, train talents by yourself, or let them learn the Four Books and Five Classics. Isn't it obvious that it is the same as being taught by the same teacher? In the end, it would be weird if their thoughts don't become the same. Moreover, saying  It's a bad word. The talents trained in this way are nothing but nonsense. Let them serve as officials, especially at the grassroots level, not to mention bringing benefits to the people.  Ordinary people, that would be considered as burning incense.¡±

    As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, Li Feng was speechless.  What a joke.  If we continue to let these people learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, it would be strange if they are not brainwashed by Confucius and the others in the end.  Besides, in Li Feng's opinion, people trained in this wayPeople are simply useless.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t study the Four Books and Five Classics, and don¡¯t study the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, then what are you going to teach?¡±

    Li Feng¡¯s words immediately made Li Shimin feel happy.  Knowing that this time, Li Feng was annoyed by these old scholars.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to talk so easily.  However, after listening to Li Feng's implicit meaning, and how he downgraded the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, I knew that the leader must have some ideas.

    However, this made Li Shimin depressed. If he didn¡¯t learn these things, then what would he learn?  After all, I have been learning these things for hundreds of years.

    "I won't mention what to teach for now, but in short, talents must speak the right language. To do something, you need professional talents. For example, let's take Cheng Yaojin. When it comes to running an army and fighting a war, he must be the one.  A good hand. But if you let him be a county magistrate, do you believe that he can turn a small county into a mess? In the same way, those who study the Four Books and Five Classics will only know it in the end.  It¡¯s just the Four Books and Five Classics, and it can¡¯t do anything except read and write articles, let alone being brainwashed by Confucius and others.¡±

    "Therefore, if we want to do something, we can't do it according to the old routine. We must think of new methods. As for how to do it specifically, we still need to do a good job."

    Since Li Feng has already planned to take over this matter, he is certainly not afraid of trouble.  If you don¡¯t want to do it, don¡¯t do it. If you want to do it, then do it well.

    Since the other party always uses ancestral rules and sages to trouble him from time to time.  Then Li Feng doesn't mind, he just digs up your ancestral graves to see if you still behave according to the ancestral rules.  (To be continued¡­
