Hearing what Confucius said, Li Er was completely angry this time.
If what he said before was true, he was only targeting the victims of disasters in the world.
Li Er is a benevolent monarch and will not get angry because someone talks about the people.
But this time, this man should never think that he knows everything.
He even used his own ideas to discuss the use of troops in the court.
"Master, please be careful. The Tang Dynasty's use of troops against the Turks is a major national event."
Several people standing around heard what Confucius said and directly tried to dissuade him.
Although the Tang Dynasty used troops to fight against these matters, His Majesty did not discuss it with his ministers and directly arranged the matter.
But His Majesty also explained it afterwards and understood the purpose of His Majesty's doing so.
What your Majesty has done is all for the people of the world, but in different ways.
Why did this come to his mouth? His Majesty did this just for his own ambition and hegemony, not for the sake of the people of the world?
Apart from anything else, even officials like Wei Zheng and others raised their hands in approval after hearing about the battle.
No one thinks that what His Majesty has done is wrong, and the people of Tang Dynasty are also very vocal about this campaign.
With such a favorable time, place and people, when he came to his place, His Majesty turned out to be a foolish king?
How could His Majesty not be angry after saying these words?
"Your Majesty, Confucius did not mean what he said. Yes, Your Majesty, please calm down."
Some ministers stood up and wanted to dissuade him, but Li Er slapped the table hard and scolded him angrily.
"You common man, just now you said that I am a foolish king, saying that this is not good and that is not good, I have tolerated it and don't care about it with you.
But you should never discuss government affairs.
He actually asked me to make peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and to donate food."
However, as soon as Li Er said these words, Confucius looked disdainful.
"What? Is it possible that the truth I told made His Majesty angry?
If so, I would like to take a look, what is the reason for this?"
"What's the point? Is it true that your Kong family's idea is to take the things belonging to the people of Tang Dynasty and donate them to the surrounding foreign races to seek so-called peace?
How much food does the Tang Dynasty have every year? I want to give it to the Turks for free.
I am a common people on the border of the Tang Dynasty, but the Turks would go south to plunder them every autumn.
In your eyes, other people are all people. Are the people at my border not just people?
Do we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have to work hard to grow food and pay half of the taxes for a year to the Turks?
Now that the time, place and people are favorable, we, the Tang Dynasty, send troops to conquer the Turks and completely wipe out the Turks, leaving us in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty without any rivals.
From then on, I, the Tang Dynasty, no longer needed to look at the faces of the Turks.
The people at the northern border of the Tang Dynasty were also at peace.
As expected, he is just a common man and cannot achieve anything great."
"Then why do we go to fight against the Turks this year?
If we wait until next year and the weather is good, we, the Tang Dynasty, can go and fight against the Turks."
When Li Er heard this, he was originally very angry, but this time he wanted to laugh.
"Do you know that war requires knowing the right time, place, and people?"
"I only know that all the people in my world are starving to death."
At this moment, I really deal with that sentence, you reason with him, he will play hooligan with you.
If you act like a gangster with him, he will start to take legal action against you again.
The gangster is not scary, but I am afraid that this gangster still has some culture. He was stunned and made Li Er's veins bulge. There is really nothing that can be done against him.
"Okay, let's retreat."
After telling him to withdraw from the court, Li Er didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
He simply left the main hall and returned to Tai Chi Hall.
Some of the other people in the court were secretly happy.
This is the right thing to do, let the emperor handle some things.
It's just a pity that the emperor was so humiliated, and Confucius was safe and sound?
Some ministers looked at him very displeased, snorted coldly, and left one after another.
Some ministers left the court and a few people whispered.
"What this master said is really unreasonable, and it is also very difficult for Your Majesty.
Your Majesty also has your own difficulties. Besides, your Majesty also has your reasons for doing what you did.
Who knew that people were so disrespectful? If His Majesty was a foolish king, he would have been beheaded in public just because of his insults.
Can you still walk out of the hall alive?"
Everyone just whispered a few words in a low voice and did not say it out loud.
Who knows if this Confucius will again target their violent output?
That's all, these things have nothing to do with them. Everyone just turns a blind eye and pretends they can't see it.
On the other hand, Li Er returned to Tai Chi Hall, his whole person full of anger.
The entire Kong family simply didn't take themselves seriously, and I really wanted to give an order to behead them all.
Or throw them directly into prison and punish their crimes severely.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. The Kong family is just a common man.
How can we know what His Majesty’s war against the Turks and others means?
Even I didn't understand it at first, but it was thanks to His Majesty who explained it to us.
We only know what's going on. What does Your Majesty care about a simple man like that?
If it weren't for the fact that they were born in the Kong family, if it weren't for the fact that they were members of the Kong family.
We don’t even want to talk to people like them."
Changsun Wuji comforted His Majesty, and Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, yes, auxiliary machine, you can still understand my thoughts."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this drought has been going on for such a long time.
It will be autumn in a while, I don’t believe it will still be the same in autumn?”
Yes, Li Er thought for a moment, the time passed really fast.
It's just that after a while, it won't take long for the world to get better.
But my good brother said that after this drought, there will be a locust plague. So what?
For a moment, Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say, so he had to continue to persuade His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, it is true that Mr. Zhao said something about the locust plague.
But he did not say how serious this locust plague would be?
What if it is limited to the area around Chang'an City?
So Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that we don’t need to worry too much.”
Li Er muttered softly.
Did Brother Xian really not say anything about the size of the locust plague?
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao seems to have never said that."
On the other hand, after Confucius approved Li Er in the court, he left the palace, returned to the inn, and rested.
Not long after, the masters from the Imperial College came here and wanted to make inquiries.
Something happened in the court, and they already knew about it.
Who knew that his eldest brother would say so much when he got so angry?
"What? Is it possible that you also think I made a mistake?"
No one, high or low, is afraid of the eldest brother's violent temper. Instead of doing this, it's better to follow him and say a few words, and let's handle the matter like this.
"Humph, this old emperor was speechless when he was spoken to by me in the court hall.
In the end, I had no choice but to leave, otherwise I would still have to talk to him properly."
"Brother, actually, we have heard about those things.
We feel that what His Majesty said is not unreasonable.
As early as the Sui Dynasty, that Turkic child harmed countless people in our Central Plains.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic children came to the Tang Dynasty several times to invade.
Your Majesty's campaign this time is in line with the people's wishes, as long as the Turks in the north are suppressed.
There are no more wars at the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
The Turks no longer dare to invade the Tang Dynasty, and the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty do not need to be afraid.
In the next year, my country, the Tang Dynasty, will begin to recuperate and recuperate, and there will never be a war."
"you?"
"Brother, it's just that you and His Majesty have different ideas."
"Yes, brother, things are just like what we said.
In fact, we came to Chang'an to get to know His Majesty. It can be said that His Majesty is conscientious and hard-working.
Along the way, did you encounter any city where there were corrupt officials who did not do anything for the people?"
Along the way, I passed many cities and met many officials. To be fair, I have never encountered a corrupt official.
Because this time regarding disaster relief, the Holy One has issued a death order.
They also dispatched a large number of manpower to patrol the country. If they encounter corrupt officials, they will only die.
Hearing what they said, Confucius sighed secretly.
After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty were indeed affected by the disaster, and the food did not arrive.
"Brother, it stands to reason that no matter how much food is supplied to the people of the Tang Dynasty, they can still afford it.
But it’s not like you don’t know that in this world, clan clans are deeply rooted.
Didn’t eldest brother say that before?
You passed by those cities, those clans and wealthy merchants, each of them had food everywhere in their homes.
If they can open warehouses to store grain, the disaster will be solved directly.
Even if they don't open a warehouse to store grain, if they sell it, the court can still afford it.
It's just that what they did was too much.
This drought will not lead to such a mess. In the final analysis, the clan clan is the disaster."
After being talked to so much by his own brothers, Kong Xian's mood gradually calmed down.
"And His Majesty is a sage. My eldest brother should already know about this imperial examination, right?"
Hearing this, Kong Xian nodded.
Regarding the imperial examination system, I still admire it very much.
Regarding the imperial examination system, I still admire it very much.
Although he angrily criticized the current emperor in the court, for him, he could distinguish between public and private matters.
Because the emperor's campaign against the Turks in the north led to a shortage of food in the world, the relief arrangements for the victims were not in place, so he was angry in the court, all for the sake of the people of the world.
But this imperial examination system is quite good.
