Chapter 25 title: The gentleman went on a blind date Through the above data, we can know how much family property was left to him by Emperor Wu of Han's father and grandfather.
However, as the saying goes, there are no more than three generations of wealth, and the accumulation of decades of Emperor Wenjing was squandered by Emperor Wu early.
Even in the later period of Emperor Wu, after the Xiongnu were driven away, the treasury of the Han Dynasty was completely empty, the people were struggling to make a living, and peasant uprisings broke out many times throughout the country.
Even so, before the death of Emperor Wu, the domestic contradictions were not completely reversed, and it was in the hands of his son Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling that the country was completely stabilized.
Of course, it is not that the political level of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not good, but that he is bent on fighting, and ignores the construction of people's livelihood in the country, and does not know how to make money, which eventually led to all this - in other words, the Tang Dynasty is now not inferior to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in terms of the scale of the war, but the Tang Dynasty is getting richer and richer, not only occupying a large amount of territory, but also the money in his hand has been increasing, which is really higher than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Li Zhen continued: "The reason why I said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not brave enough in the country is not without reason, his admiration of Confucianism did avoid chaos in the imperial court, but you can't deny that because Confucianism is the dominant family, this led to a complete change in Confucianism later.
Because Confucianism is in charge of the court, other schools cannot develop, and Confucianism itself has become what it is today because of its overdevelopment—believe it or not, sir, if we ignore Confucianism and let them develop, they will definitely become a cancer in the end. ” "This ......"
Cen Wenwen was silent, no need for Li Zhen to ask, with Cen Wenwen's strategic vision, how could he not see that Confucianism is no longer pure Confucianism, but a collection of interests, and it is no longer one of the two great scholars who served the country and the people in the past.
"Today's Confucianism can dare to ask for the king's life for a little inheritance, sir, do you think that when the scale of Confucianism swells again, will they dare to change the monarch?"
Li Zhen asked coldly, he didn't have a good impression of the current Confucianism, the current Confucianism is said to be Confucianism, but in fact, it has nothing to do with the Confucianism founded by Confucius.
And Li Zhen knows that during the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism was not too much, and after another two hundred years, in the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Kuangyin Chongwen suppressed martial arts, Confucianism entered a period of rapid development, and the direct result was the emergence of the monster Cheng Zhu Lixue, and Confucianism completely became a freak.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Confucianism was even more excessive, and there were many parties, and they no longer regarded the imperial court as the object of allegiance, and their only allegiance was to their party, so the major parties fought with each other, completely exhausted the last breath of vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang the coal mountain.
This is the inevitable result of the development of Confucianism to the end - the same disadvantage of academic monopoly.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools and left only one, which was indeed much more convenient for the management of the court, but in the long run, it was unfavorable for the country.
Therefore, for the healthy development of Datang in the future, it is very necessary to restart the loser, but Cen Wenwen's concern is not unreasonable, the entry of a hundred schools into the court is equivalent to a different voice in the court, and the fight between the hundred schools is also unfavorable for Datang.
But it's not that there is no solution, isn't the China of later generations just paying attention to each performing its own duties?
Workers (scientists and workers) are responsible for the development and production of technology, soldiers (soldiers) are only responsible for fighting, legalists (the Ministry of Justice and the courts) are responsible for adjudication and revision of laws, farmers (peasants) are responsible for farming, scholars (diplomats) are responsible for external communication, and novelists (journalists and writers) are responsible for propaganda......
We have a clear division of labor, each performs its own duties and works together, and we have not seen various departments turn the world upside down and make the country a mess, but with the joint efforts of various departments, the country is getting better and better, and has successfully become one of the two poles of the world.
It can be seen that it is not a good thing to focus on a certain kind of academics, but it is a multifaceted flowering that can make the country progress.
Li Zhen, as a person from later generations, has the experience of later generations, and is confident that he has the ability to coordinate the disputes of various families, and there will be no chaos between hundreds of schools. "......"
Cen Wenwen continued to be silent, he had been a little shaken by what Li Zhen said.
"Then what is Your Highness going to do?"
After a long time, Cen Wenwen's eyes were red, and he asked in a dry voice, which shows how impactful Li Zhen's words were just now, but in just a few moments, Cen Wenwen's mental energy was completely consumed.
"There's no rush for this, let's talk about it later."
Li Zhen didn't explain too much, if you want to integrate a hundred schools, this kind of thing is not something that can be done now - although Confucianism has been hit hard, but after all, it has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and the heritage is profound, and this heavy blow may not be able to hurt their vitality, and they must continue to fight the power of Confucianism, lay a good foundation, and wait for themselves to succeed to the throne before implementing this policy is the best.
"It's the minister's mouth."
As soon as he saw that Li Zhen didn't say anything, Cen Wenwen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped asking.
He no longer had any questions, but Li Zhen took the initiative to ask: "But speaking of which, sir, who do you think is the winner of the battle for Silver Island this time, and who finally took away Yinyin?"
” "Huh?"
Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Zhen strangely and didn't speak, but the meaning revealed in his expression was obvious-isn't it you?
Why do you ask?
Li Zhen understood in seconds, touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I knew that Mr. would suspect that it would be done by this king." ” Cen Wenwen said: "Not only the ministers, but now the whole world knows that it was Your Highness who took away the Yang family's silver lead, and made the first move, destroyed the Hongnong Yang family, and shot cleanly and ruthlessly." ” Li Zhen shook his head: "But what this king wants to tell you is that the Hongnong Yang family was indeed done by this king, but the matter of salt introduction really has nothing to do with this king, do you believe it?"
” "How is this possible?"
Cen Wenwen exclaimed, incredulous: "If it weren't for Your Highness, who would it be?"
What's more, the Hongnong Yang clan was destroyed by His Royal Highness, how could it not be that you didn't do it?
Since you didn't do it, who did it?
” This is really amazing, Cen Wenwen is very shocked, if what Li Zhen said is true, it means that in the dark, there is still a small force hidden, secretly peeking at the Tang Dynasty.
"This king destroyed the Hongnong Yang clan because he hated them for not being able to investigate clearly, so he arbitrarily buckled the pot on this king, and also wanted to assassinate this king, but the silver introduction was really not done by this king."
Li Zhen's eyes were full of murderous energy, until today, thinking of the situation at that time, Li Zhen felt afraid, that assassination was really dangerous, Hongnong Yang not only dispatched the rhubarb rage, but also used a hot weapon, a grenade also fell not far from his side at that time, if it wasn't for the dead man to help him block it, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Therefore, Li Zhen was furious and ordered to destroy the Hongnong Yang clan with a thunderous force.
"It's not His Highness, who could it be?"
Cen Wenwen frowned and pondered, he didn't suspect that Li Zhen was lying, since Li Zhen didn't even deny the destruction of the Hongnong Yang clan, then if it was really him who snatched the silver lead, there was no reason why he wouldn't admit it.
He wasn't stupid, he immediately realized that this matter was not that simple, and it was very likely that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, or even secretly manipulated all this.
"Regarding this, don't dwell on it, sir, this king naturally knows who the murderer is, and it has been arranged, and when they appear again, he should be able to give them a 'surprise'."
Li Zhen sneered.

"The reason why this king brought up this matter is that I hope that Mr. can help and publicize this matter - if the thing is indeed done by this king, he will naturally not deny it when he picks up this king, but if it is not done by this king, then this king will not bear this pot."
This is also the main reason why Li Zhen took the initiative to raise this matter to Cen Wenwen, these days the people of the court and the opposition are very unfavorable to their own remarks, saying that they are too desperate to do things, not only use conspiracy to provoke the competition of major forces, but in the end they actually sit and watch the praying mantis catch cicadas, but he acts as a yellow finch to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and profits at the last moment, which is really detrimental to the image of Li Zhen's previous virtuous king.
Although this is just a private talk by others, it does not have any effect on oneself except for damaging one's own image.
But as an arrogant and proud traverser, Li Zhen very much dislikes the feeling of being swayed by public opinion.
This reminded him of the unscrupulous paparazzi in later generations, and this feeling was very unpleasant - it was just that he did it himself, and he would not deny it, but this matter was obviously not done by himself, and others preferred to put it on his head, which was really depressing.
"I understand."
Cen Wenwen nodded: "The minister will go out and arrange for the newspaper to publish an article, and strive to remove His Royal Highness from this matter." ” Cen Wenwen is not only Li Zhen's wife, but he also has the identity of the general person in charge of the Lingnan branch of the "Datang Daily", and he is in charge of a considerable part of the power of public opinion.
"Then there's Mr.
Law."
"Your Highness is gracious."
After sending Cen Wenwen away, Li Zhen corrected today's official document and came to the backyard.
"Your Highness."
Wu Meiniang was holding her chin, staring at a cradle in front of her in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking, until Li Zhen walked closer, and suddenly woke up.
"Hmm."
Li Zhen answered softly, and then quietly poked her head above the cradle, and two little people with the same eyebrows were sleeping head to head.
"Snort~" Seeing the sleeping position of the two, Li Zhen couldn't help but chuckle, because Li Huang and Li Zhao's sleeping posture were exactly the same, even the sound of sleeping breathing, as well as some inadvertent small movements, were the same.
Wu Meiniang also smiled and said softly: "The sleeping position of the two of them is exactly the same as that of His Royal Highness." ” "Huh?"
Li Zhen was embarrassed and waved her hand again and again: "How is it possible?"
How could I possibly have such a childish sleeping position?
” This kind of thing must not be admitted, it is too damaging to one's image.
"Giggles......"
Seeing Li Zhen's appearance, Wu Meiniang laughed.
"Wow~" "Wow~" Who knew that the voices of the two might be a little loud, waking up the two lovely people who were sleeping, and the two of them immediately cried, and the two immediately scrambled.
"Hurry, I'm going to pee."
"Your Highness, it's Xiao Shou'er who wants to pee."
"I'm going to pee on this too, ah~ pee on my body......"
"Giggle...... “……” Five days later, at the port of Yuezhou, Pier No. 8, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers were ringing, red flags were displayed, and there were crowds of people......
In short, today's Yuezhou port is very lively.
Not only was the No. 8 pier crowded with people, but even the neighboring No. 7 and No. 9 piers were crowded with people, and even people with boats simply drove their boats to the sea to watch.
Not only the people of the whole city came out, but also all the officials of Yuezhou, including Li Zhen, all of them stood at the front of the dock, looking at the water in the distance, as if waiting for something.
Pier 8 has been completely overwhelmed with silk streamers, and even the floor of the pier has been replaced by a red carpet, and there are dragons, lion dancers, trumpets, and drums next to it......
It's very lively.
Today is not a special day - at least before, it is not a day, neither a solar term, nor the birthday of a god, nor a festival......
But this is before, Li Zhen has reason to believe that if today is too much, the entire world's maritime history will definitely remember this day, because today is the day when Liu Renliang led the Tang fleet to return.
This is destined to be the most brilliant stroke in the history of world navigation, and the road of ocean conquest of Datang will begin completely after today, and the era of exploration is coming.
It was morning, the sun was already raging, and even though it was on the pier, the cool sea breeze still couldn't take away the heat from the air.
Li Zhen stood under the poisonous sun, looking forward to it, even if she was sweating, she didn't complain at all.
Xiao Fuzi stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Highness, the sun is poisonous outside, you better go and avoid it after buying the car first." ” Li Zhen shook his head and refused: "It's okay, everyone is standing outside, isn't this king as good as others?"
” "Then the slave maid go and fetch some juice for His Highness."
Xiaofuzi has been with Li Zhen for more than ten years, and he knows his temperament too well, since he has already refused, it is useless to persuade himself, and he can only retreat to the next best thing and use cold juice to cool Li Zhen to cool off.
"In that case, you can just get a little more and let everyone go to the heat."
"The slave and maid understand."
Xiaofuzi immediately understood Li Zhen's intentions, such a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, if you don't use it, it would be a pity.
Anyway, in this place in Lingnan, the most worthless thing is the fruit, but it is more laborious to squeeze the juice, but Li Zhen has a juice factory in Lingnan, and it is enough to go there directly to get a little.
