Yang Peng chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, frowned slightly and said, "I don't like it. What's the use of being a scholar? There's no need to talk about it in the war. These losers won't be scared to death on the battlefield.
The pants are considered good." Zhao Lihua couldn't help but chuckle. This laugh was so charming that the drinkers around them stopped talking and turned their heads. They all saw that she was a very seductive woman disguised as a man, and they couldn't help but express their feelings.
With a surprised look on his face, he immediately cast an envious look at Yang Peng, then turned around and continued eating, drinking, and chatting about himself, and the hustle and bustle in the tavern resumed.
Yang Peng joked: "No matter what clothes Lihua wears, she can still charm people to death!" Zhao Lihua smiled sweetly, and then urged: "Husband, you haven't finished speaking yet!"
Yang Peng collected his thoughts, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and continued: "Students can't fight, and they can't do business and can't create wealth. They look down on farmers, so they can't talk about producing food. They sneer at technicians and workers. It's a joke.
Their technology is amazing, so there is no need to expect these scholars to make any exquisite or useful utensils! Then there is only one thing left, and that is to govern the country and ensure peace."
Zhao Lihua nodded, "This is what scholars should do!" Yang Peng laughed mockingly, "That's what they think. They are inferior in everything except studying. Don't they just think that after studying, they can become officials and be superior to others? But these people do
How are officials? It cannot be said that they are completely useless. At least famous officials like Du Ruhui and Di Renjie who are famous in history were born as scholars! But there are too few such people. In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one Di Renjie and one Du Ruhui. In the Song Dynasty, there was only one Di Renjie and one Du Ruhui.
There has only been one Kou Zhun in more than a hundred years! The vast majority of scholars, ninety-nine percent of them, are damn bastards who have failed to achieve anything but have failed to reveal their achievements, and who have corrupted the law and tortured the people!" Zhao Lihua frowned and nodded, "
It seems to be true! As far as the experience of the slave family is concerned, it seems that they have never met any officials like this! But my husband, Yang Yanzhao, Gao Huaide, Cao Bin and other generals have very good character!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "Thank you Lihua for the compliment!" Zhao Lihua smiled sweetly, "Husband, you don't have to be polite, what I said is the truth!"
Yang Peng smiled and continued: "Relatively speaking, officials who are not born as scholars are much better! When a businessman is an official, he will often find ways to accumulate wealth for the local area, while when a farmer is an official, he will be very concerned about agricultural production. It cannot be said that
They are all good people, but at least they want to do something while taking bribes and bending the law. Only scholars become officials, they just want to make money for themselves, they are greedy and have no shame! Therefore, ten years of hard work is just for
Money! Scholars think they are superior to others, but I think these grandsons are the worst group of people!" Yang Peng said, his voice unknowingly increased, and the surrounding drinkers all heard Yang Peng's words and felt extremely
Shocking, this is something I have never heard before, but after thinking about it, I feel that although these remarks are a bit intense, they seem to make sense.
A drinker whispered: "I'm afraid that person is not a commoner, but a general in Yanyun's army!" The companion next to him glanced at Chen Xiao and nodded with deep sympathy, "I heard
There are many brave generals in our Yanyun Army, such as Ma Kuang, Zhan Jin Guo, Yang Dezheng, etc., that one may be one of them!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded.
Yang Peng saw Zhao Lihua sitting there in a daze and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Zhao Lihua came back to her senses, glanced at Yang Peng and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think what the elder brother just said was so good!" Yang Peng
Peng smiled and said, "Studying is nothing more than being able to recognize a few words and write a few poems! But what's the use of this? Only those who can truly solve things and deal with problems are useful talents! There are thousands of things in the world.
Tens of millions of them can't be solved by just knowing a few words and writing a few poems!" Zhao Lihua nodded with deep sympathy.
"Brother, what you said is ridiculous!" an angry voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked around and saw a young man in a white Confucian shirt standing at the table by the stairs, glaring at Yang Peng. Next to him, a man
The young man in the gray scholar's shirt had a panic look on his face and was secretly tugging at his sleeves. Seeing this, the drinkers couldn't help but gloated and thought to themselves: Scholars are really stupid, they didn't realize that the young man was very talented.
The person who came from behind, aren't you uncomfortable coming out like this?
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Are you saying what I said is absurd?" "That's right! Your remarks are clearly for ulterior motives!" The Confucian scholar in white said angrily. "Oh? I would like to hear what you have to say!" The Confucian scholar in white snorted.
He said, "We scholars naturally don't know how to do business, we don't know how to farm, and we can't go to the battlefield without the strength to tie a chicken! But these are not the purposes of studying. Reading is to understand the truth, and then help ordinary people understand the truth. Only the common people understand the truth.
Only then will the country develop on the right path and no major problems will arise!"
Yang Peng laughed and said: "The so-called 'reasons' you read are just made up by people. Why do you say that one is reasonable and others are not?"
I thought that the classics I read were natural, but I never thought that those natural principles were just made up by people. When I heard Yang Peng's question, I couldn't help but be stunned. I didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
After a long while, he said angrily: "Confucius and Mencius are both saints, are their words still wrong?"
Yang Peng sneered and said: "We are all mortal, raised by our parents, eat whole grains, and suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. Why do we call them saints?" The Confucian scholar in white was speechless and very angry, but
It's a wordless rebuttal.
Yang Peng said: "When Kong Laoer was alive, he traveled around the country, and what achievements did he achieve? Did he stabilize the country or quell the disputes? He did nothing when he was alive, but when he died, you praised him as a god! In the final analysis, it is nothing more than Confucianism.
Which one is most conducive for the king to fool the people and control the people! Taking the world as one's own selfishness is the essence of Confucianism!" The drinkers applauded one after another, Zhao Lihua looked at Yang Peng with admiration, and the white-clothed Confucian looked angry.
Ashen, he kept breathing heavily, but there was a hint of confusion in his angry eyes.
Yang Peng softened his tone and said: "Confucianism is not entirely without merit, some things are also worthy of praise! For example, the word 'loyalty', but this 'loyalty' is not loyalty to the king, but loyalty to the king.
The loyalty of the country to the nation! If the king is a bastard, anyone can overthrow him!"
At this time, although Yang Peng had vigorously abandoned Confucianism, the concept of loyalty to the emperor was still a moral concept deeply rooted in the bones of most people. Whether they could abide by it was one thing, but no one dared to deny it openly.
A little. So when Yang Peng said these words, everyone showed a look of horror.
Yang Peng said: "The reason why the king is a king is to protect the people of this place and benefit the people of this place. He is not allowed to be arrogant and unlucky! The purpose of all actions is to serve the people, not the king. Therefore, 'loyalty to the king'
'This is simply wrong. It is a set of lies made up by the king in order to turn the world into his family's private property! If the king cannot meet the needs of the people, then he must give up his throne! The deer has a deer king, and the deer herd
When encountering danger, the Deer King must first resist the danger and protect his people, and it will not flinch even if it fights to the last breath. That is its responsibility. If the Deer King cannot do this, then the Deer will soon
The king will be replaced because it failed to fulfill its responsibilities; the wolf has a wolf king, and it is his bounden duty to protect the territory and the people. No wolf king will retreat when other wolves invade. It will take the lead.
Face the enemy until death, until all blood is shed!" There was silence in the tavern. Everyone stopped drinking and listened to Yang Peng's words. Everyone couldn't help but look thoughtful, and the two Confucian scholars also showed their thoughts.
look.
Yang Peng said: "Animals are like this, but humans are not as good as animals. Isn't it funny! Look at the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Before the invasion of foreign enemies, he lived a life of leisure and debauchery than anyone else. However, when the Khitan army invaded with iron hooves, he ran faster than anyone else.
Come on, the people of the country, don’t care about it! To put it bluntly, when a person like this is the emperor, it is worse than a decent beast being the emperor!"
The drinkers burst into laughter, but after they laughed, they began to think again, and the two Confucian scholars remained silent.
Yang Peng glanced at the two Confucian scholars, "Actually, many things in your Confucianism are self-contradictory! It says that 'The Master does not talk about strange powers and confuses the gods', but he also emphasizes that 'the power of kings is divinely authorized and inspired by heaven and man'. So, I would like to ask you two
, do you Confucians believe that there are gods or there are no gods?" The two Confucian scholars looked stupid and couldn't answer at all.
Yang Peng said with a smile: "You say that Confucius and Mencius are saints, and saints are gods, but you also say that 'The Master is silent, strange, powerful, and chaotic.' I tell you what is going on with you. You think you are great, but many things are inconsistent. Preface
What a nonsense!" Some of the drinkers laughed and said, "I guess they Confucians like to talk nonsense when they are drunk, so isn't Li Bai called the Master of Drinking? Naturally, he talks nonsense when he is drunk!" The drinkers burst into laughter. Two of them burst into laughter.
The Confucian scholar was angry and ashamed, and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Yang Peng restrained his smile and said to the two Confucian scholars: "There are no saints in this world. The so-called 'principle' is only the truth that conforms to the wishes of most people. It is not decided by anyone!" He smiled and said, "I
Of course, what you said may not be correct, but if you don't understand the truth and don't allow others to debate with you or question it, it's really hard for people to believe how much truth it has!" Zhao Lihua couldn't bear it.
He said: "Husband is right!"
The Confucian scholar in white threw a broken piece of silver on the table and hurried downstairs. When his companion saw this, he quickly followed.
One of the drinkers laughed and said, "This is called running away with your tail between your legs!" Everyone laughed, and then started drinking and chatting, and the scene became a noisy and noisy scene again.
Zhao Lihua looked at Yang Peng, her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance, "My husband is so amazing! In terms of fighting, there are few people in the world who can match my husband, and in terms of talking, even those nerds who study all day long can't beat my big brother!"
Yang Peng chuckled, turned to Wang Kai, who was sitting at the next table, and said, "Send someone to follow the Confucian scholar in white just now and see where he settles." Wang Kai nodded, and then gave instructions to a secret guard sitting at the same table.
After talking for a while, the secret guard immediately got up and went down. Someone saw this scene and thought to himself: Those two Confucian scholars are probably going to be unlucky.
Yang Peng and Zhao Lihua continued to drink and chat. After they were full, they paid the bill and left the tavern. Back at the palace, Zhao Lihua went back to her yard, while Yang Peng came to the study to handle official business. He had been waiting in the study for a long time.
Zhang Xiang, Han Bing and Chai Yonghui immediately came forward and saluted: "King Yan."
Yang Peng walked behind the desk and sat down, glanced at the three of them, and then his eyes fell on Han Bing's face and asked: "Han Bing, how is the recruitment and training of new recruits going?" Han Bing said: "The recruitment work is going very smoothly.
The soldiers have been recruited and are now training in the camp outside Tianjing New City. They can be replenished into the directly affiliated legions within three months!" What these soldiers need to supplement are the directly affiliated legions that fought against the Liao Kingdom and Xixia in the past. This
In the First World War, those who invested in Yanmen Pass and northern Shaanxi were all officers and soldiers of Yanyun's direct army, and other legions did not participate. Now that the war is over, Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu's troops are still guarding the same place, and the two hundred thousand soldiers of the direct army who had gone north from Henan to participate in the war were still there.
The officers and soldiers of the legion stayed in Datongfu, Baishan Mountain and Yanmen Pass.
Yang Peng nodded and looked at Huang Guang, "How is the pension work going?" Huang Guang clasped his fists and said, "The pension work is in progress and it is expected that all the work will be completed within a month!" Yang Peng thought of what he saw in the tavern today.
At that scene, he couldn't help but feel happy and praised: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied!" Huang Guang only felt flattered and said quickly: "My subordinates only acted according to King Yan's intentions and did not dare to take credit!" Yang Peng
He smiled and said: "If you do well, you do well. There is no need to be modest!" "Yes!"
Yang Peng's eyes turned to Chai Yonghui's face. Chai Yonghui didn't wait for Yang Peng to ask questions and said with a smile: "Officials from our supervision department have supervised the pension work throughout the process, and no problems have been found so far. In addition, a group of supervisors who went to Datong Mansion have prepared
Ready, just waiting for brother's order!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "When they are ready, let them set off." "Yes." Yang Peng glanced at the three of them and asked, "Is there anything else?" Huang Guang cupped his fists and said, "Han Derang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom,
When we arrive, we have submitted our credentials and hope to see King Yan."
Yang Peng thought for a while and asked: "What do you think is the purpose of Han Derang's trip?" The three of them looked at each other, and Han Bing said: "In this case, he must have come to ask us for peace!" The other two
Nodding, Chai Yonghui said: "Sister Han Bing is right, it must be like this!"
Yang Peng thought for a moment and said to Huang Guang: "I'm not in a hurry to see him. You can entertain him first!" Huang Guang clasped his fists and agreed. Yang Peng said: "If there is nothing else, you can go and do your own business!"
Huang Guang and Chai Yonghui bowed and agreed and exited the study. Only Yang Peng and Han Bing were left in the study.
Yang Peng thought: "After this battle, there should be a period of calm, and we can take this opportunity to develop the economy." He raised his head and asked: "Han Bing, what do you think is the most profitable thing?"
Han Bing was absent-minded, and suddenly heard Yang Peng asking, and couldn't help being surprised: "What?" Yang Peng saw that her mind was not distracted, and asked curiously, "Han Bing, what are you thinking about?" Unexpectedly, these words came out.
, two blushes suddenly appeared on Han Bing's pretty face, and a look of panic and shyness appeared in his beautiful eyes! Yang Peng was stunned, then his heart moved, he stood up, walked to Han Bing, and held his hand.
Han Bing's delicate hands. Han Bingfang's heart was filled with emotion. She raised her head and looked at Yang Peng stupidly, with infinite charm in her beautiful eyes. Yang Peng said very apologetically: "We haven't had a good talk for a long time!"
Han Bing couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. He glared at Yang Peng and said with jealousy: "You have so many concubines, so naturally you won't take them to heart!"
Yang Peng's heart trembled, "Nonsense! Big brother is thinking of you all the time!" Han Bing knew that what Yang Peng said couldn't be true, but he couldn't help being very happy and couldn't help but lean his delicate body into Yang Peng's arms.
In the middle, he asked softly: "Is what you said true?" Yang Peng immediately cursed and swore. Han Bing couldn't help but feel angry, and his beautiful eyes looked at Yang Peng hotly. Yang Peng felt infinite emotions in his heart.
Tenderly, she took Han Bing's slender hand and left the study and walked towards her yard. Han Bing blushed and asked, "What are you holding me for?" Yang Peng turned his head and smiled evilly as he walked: "
Of course you are doing something good!" Han Bing lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yang Peng, his heart pounding non-stop...
There was a cloud and rain, and I don’t know how much time passed. When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped and they whispered occasionally, the moon had already climbed up the treetops. Han Bing finally realized that it was evening, and said in surprise: "Why is it dark?" Yang Peng stroked her
He touched her smooth skin and joked with a smile: "You were so happy that you didn't notice!" Han Bing punched Yang Peng in shame. Then he got up from Yang Peng and moved to the edge of the bed.
Go, he said urgently, "Let's get out quickly. If our sisters find out, it will be embarrassing!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "You are such a powerful general, how can you be so timid!"
Han Bing glared at Yang Peng angrily and got off the bed. Unexpectedly, her legs and lower abdomen felt sore and weak, and she couldn't help but fell back on the bed with a groan. Yang Peng quickly hugged her, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile:
"What's wrong?" Han Bing's face turned red and she was extremely embarrassed. She turned around and punched Yang Peng hard on the chest, "It's all your fault!" Yang Peng said with a bitter smile: "Hey, it's so hard to be a man.
If you don’t work hard, it’s because you’re useless, if you work hard, it’s because you work too hard!” Han Bing blushed and stared at Yang Peng in annoyance.
Yang Peng looked at the charming face and shy expression so close at hand, and smelled the fragrant fragrance. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but kiss the red lips. Gradually, both of them couldn't help but become excited, and their movements became more and more intense.
It became more and more intense, and eventually, no one could control themselves anymore, so it started to rain again...
After this round ended, it was already midnight. Han Bing lay on Yang Peng's chest, and the strength of a general had finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only watery tenderness.
Han Bing said with embarrassment: "Sisters must be laughing at me now! It's all your fault!" Yang Peng touched his nose and chuckled: "In fact, I can't be completely blamed for this matter. Who are you calling Han Bing to show it in front of me?
Such a seductive pose! But I couldn't hold it anymore!" Han Bing was ashamed and angry, and raised her head, "You mean I'm seducing you!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "That's more or less what I meant." Han Bing glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng glanced downwards, swallowed, and said with a bad smile: "Han Bing, don't you think so now?
Are you trying to seduce me? Brother's concentration is very weak!"
Han Bing followed his gaze and realized that she couldn't help but hold up her upper body. She was startled and quickly lay down. Yang Peng snorted happily, "With a beautiful woman in my arms, I can't control myself even more!"
Han Bing rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, rested her head on Ai Lang's chest, closed her eyes, feeling exhausted, and murmured: "I'm going to sleep, don't mess with me!" After a while, a long and gentle voice came.
The sound of breathing came and she had already fallen asleep.
Yang Peng chuckled, put his hands around Han Bing's waist, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep... In the study, Huang Guang reported to Yang Peng: "King Yan, Han Derang is anxious to see King Yan.
Request to come and meet with King Yan as soon as possible!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "He is afraid that we have other thoughts. Don't worry, let him go for another two days, we have to discuss this matter carefully first."
"Yes. This morning, the envoy from Dali came to see King Yan. He looked extremely anxious. I heard from him that the Tibetans are attacking the Snowy Mountains. The Snowy Mountains are in danger. He is here to ask for our help!"
Yang Peng touched his chin and said: "If Dali hadn't sent troops without hesitation before, the Tubo people wouldn't have been able to withdraw from Qinfeng Road so easily! Since Dali is so loyal to us, we naturally can't let them down." Huang Guang nodded.
Yang Peng thought for a moment, "You will bring this matter up at the meeting later and I want to hear everyone's opinions!" "Yes!"
Half an hour later, all the important civil servants and generals in Tianjing New City gathered in the hall to participate in the daily official business and meetings. This is a discussion system similar to other countries' court meetings, and Yang Peng General Conference on major matters
At the meeting, he discussed with the civil and military officials and then worked out the most appropriate plan. Sometimes, when the opinions of all parties reached a stalemate, Yang Peng would make a decisive decision.
Yang Peng glanced at Huang Guang, who understood and raised his voice to his colleagues: "This morning the Dali envoy arrived. The Tibetans are attacking the Daxue Mountain. Dali is in a critical situation. They came to ask for help from us!" When everyone heard this,
They began to discuss in a low voice. Zhang Xiang cupped his fists towards Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, Dali did not dare to neglect our requirements before, so Qin Feng Road saved the day. Now that Dali is in trouble, we should rescue it! But there is a difficulty..."
Yang Peng nodded, "I know what you mean. You are talking about the problem of food and grass. We have insufficient food and grass. After a series of fierce battles, the remaining food and grass have been exhausted. Now I am afraid that it will be a waste of time to send out troops again."
It can’t be done!”
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
