Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 66 Li Shimin's Temptation!

Changan.

in the palace.

Li Shimin held a very long letter in his hand, which recorded in detail everything that Li Chengqian experienced after he arrived in the north.

This is a letter written by Li Chengqian himself. It is conceivable how detailed the above words are, including a lot of Li Chengqian's own thoughts and opinions.

Especially his feeling made Li Shimin feel like he was actually there.

At this moment, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling stood silently in front of Li Shimin.

They have been here for a long time, but Li Shimin has not spoken, and they don't know what the emperor wants to summon him in such a hurry.

"It's incredible..." After a long time, Li Shimin put down the letter in his hand.

It wasn't until this time that he seemed to realize that there were still two people standing in front of him.

"So you're still here!"

Wei Zheng:? ? ? ? ? ?

Fang Xuanling:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What kind of talk is this?

What does it mean that we are still here, as if we dare to go straight.

"Your Majesty is so serious, you should be looking at things about the north?" Wei Zheng said with a slight smile.

At the same time, he also tested Li Shimin's mind.

"good."

"After the prince arrived in the north, he did a good job!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded seriously.

Subsequently.

He carefully took out the book that Li Chengqian sent back with this letter, and asked the eunuch beside him to pass it to Wei Zheng and Li Jing.

"Look at the contents here first..." Li Shimin pointed to the two books and said.

Without any hesitation, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling flipped through the two books in their hands as quickly as possible.

Of course they understood what Li Shimin meant. It was impossible for the other party to let them read the contents of the book completely, but they only had a general understanding of what it wanted to express.

soon.

The expressions of the two of them changed!

The things in these two books are completely different from the knowledge they have accepted since childhood, including the knowledge they know now, and they even hold completely opposite concepts.

For example, the so-called Chinese is completely different from the current classical Chinese, and it is directly taught in Mandarin.

Even teaching enlightenment, actually using the so-called alphabet.

What are letters?They haven't even heard of it.

However, they also saw the benefits of this book.

It’s so easy to get started.

But the content inside does not conform to Confucianism.

For example: The content in it is actually advocating equality between men and women. What kind of fallacy is this?
And the so-called arithmetic, they can't understand it at all.

The child is still so young, and he has to learn such a difficult course?
"Your Majesty, these two books are..." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin suspiciously and asked.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

The emperor suddenly showed the two of them this kind of book, which most likely represented their next actions.

really.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Li Shimin said softly: "This is the education book that the son-in-law and the prince practiced in the north!"

"Now almost all children are receiving this kind of knowledge. I think these things are very useful, so I want to hear your opinions!"

Li Shimin didn't say anything later, he knew that with the intelligence of the two of them, he could understand what he wanted to do.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Wei Zheng's expression changed again.

Things really went as they expected, and the emperor wanted to implement the same method in Chang'an.

This is no small matter!
As far as the things in these books are clearly opposed to the orthodox Confucianism, if they are promoted, they will definitely cause an uproar.

Even if ministers like them agree, those Confucian scholars and supporters of traditional Confucianism will definitely resist desperately.

It will be troublesome if there is trouble at that time!
"Your Majesty, doing this is very risky, and...do we really need to do this?" Wei Zheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say the most.

After all, there are many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty now, and the aristocratic families are mainly based on the old learning. If the old learning is suddenly abolished and the new learning is implemented, it will be tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot and causing the Tang Dynasty to fall into civil strife.

Although Wei Zheng is also very optimistic about the new learning, it does not mean that he wants the old learning to decline.

He knew that this might offend Li Shimin again, but compared to the turmoil this incident might bring, he preferred to be punished at this time.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this matter. Let's try it out in Chang'an for a while, and we'll talk about it later if there are any problems!" Li Shimin said firmly.

in fact.

For Li Shimin, this incident has a different meaning.

That is asking for directions!
In the final analysis, the ultimate goal of education reform is to target the aristocratic family.

Confucianism is the representative of the aristocratic family, and many ideas are contradicted by reality.

Moreover, Confucianism has monopolized the entire officialdom, so that ordinary people are not even qualified to be officials in the court.

Deep in Li Shimin's heart, he hated the aristocratic family extremely.

Whenever there is a little chance, he will try it at all costs.

And Wei Zheng also knew this, and also knew the possible consequences of doing so, so he immediately refused.

The confrontation between smart people is like this, there is no need to say a lot of things directly, everyone knows in their hearts what it is actually for.

"His Majesty……"

"Needless to say anything, I asked you to come here today just to discuss this matter, it can be considered that I have made arrangements in advance, and the next thing is to wait for my will!" Li Shimin did not give Wei Zheng a chance to speak again, Just waved him away.

Wei Zheng, who wanted to warn him at first, turned his head and glanced at Fang Xuanling beside him, under the gaze of the other party, he sighed and turned away.

Looking at the back of Wei Zheng leaving in a hurry, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised slightly uncontrollably.

He knew very well in his heart that once Wei Zheng left, the news would spread as quickly as possible, which was also his goal...

……

After leaving the palace, Wei Zheng grabbed Fang Xuanling.

"Why didn't you let the old man talk just now? It's clear that there will be big problems in this matter. If we can't persuade His Majesty, do you know what will happen later?" Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with some annoyance and asked .

If Fang Xuanling hadn't secretly winked at him just now, Wei Zheng would never have left easily.

Even if the emperor wanted to give him the most severe punishment, Wei Zheng would desperately try to dissuade him from it.

"Do you think what we said is useful?" Fang Xuanling chuckled.

"The old man knows what you are thinking, the big deal is to bear His Majesty's anger, as long as this matter can be resolved!"

"But haven't you noticed that His Majesty is very firm this time, and once His Majesty decides something, it will not be changed by anyone!"

"So the best way is to let the facts speak for themselves. When the facts are in front of us, we don't need to say anything. Your Majesty will understand everything!"
