Chapter Seventy-Two: The Royal Arena Of course, the above is purely the author's own complaints, to be honest, the Confucian family is a traitor family is indeed a bit too much, but this family is really powerful, no matter how much the nation suffers, no man stands up to resist, from Jing Kang shame to Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the middle is full of ugliness, not in line with Confucius's thoughts, resulting in many people have opinions on the Confucian family, and later generations will scold it as a dog - it is said that every rabbit and dog generation is righteous, and the negative heart is always a scholar, which is confirmed on the door of the Confucian family, But there is no problem at all.
There is nothing wrong with Confucius's own thoughts, there is no problem with his original intentions, the problem is that the wrong interpretation and interpretation of later generations have led to all this - since the birth of Confucianism for so many years, countless schools have been born, and each school has its own opinion, and it is even possible that the views between the two schools are completely contradictory.
For example, Mencius's theory of human nature and goodness and Xunzi's willful theory of evil, good and evil are opposed to each other, but both sides have their own truths, but no one can say anyone, and the final result is that the two sides turn against each other, with you and me.
After thousands of years of interpretation, the current Confucius thought is no longer Confucius's original thought, let alone the original intention of Confucius, it can only be said that in order to cater to the ruler's thoughts, the original subtle words and righteousness have long been changed beyond recognition by later generations.
But in any case, the actions of the Confucian family are indeed despicable, and Li Shimin, who is familiar with the actions of the Confucian family in the past dynasties, will not look down on the Confucian family, if it weren't for Kong Yingda's still a bit of discipline, the Confucian family is indeed good for stabilizing the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin will bird them?
And after thousands of years of development, the current Qufu has been run by the Confucian family, although Qufu is nominally the land of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it has long been controlled by the Confucian family, and even the appointment of the county order is the final say of the Confucian family, and the imperial court has no prestige at all, even if it is not much worse than the seven sects and five surnames.
"I'm so angry."
Li Shimin is very angry and depressed now, the status of the Kong family is too special, if they insist on opposing it, Li Shimin will really not be able to find a solution for a while.
"Your Majesty, depending on the concubine's body, this matter will fall into the hands of the Yan family."
Concubine Yan understood Li Shimin's depression, and her heart moved, as if she had thought of something, and gently reminded.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Huh?
What do you mean by that?
” Concubine Yan asked, "Your Majesty, you said before, the attitude of the Yan family is neither to oppose nor to support?"
” "That's right."
Obviously, Li Shimin is still very satisfied with the attitude of the Yan family: "Although the Yan family has a neutral attitude, I can see that they want to support "Please Move Zongshu", but they may have any concerns and have not expressed their position openly. ” "That's it."
Concubine Yan became more and more sure of her guess: "If the concubine is not wrong, the Yan family doesn't want to express their position, but for such a big matter, they can't make up their minds and want to go back to ask some people." ” "Someone?"
Li Shimin was stunned, and then shocked: "You mean......
Is he still alive?
Didn't he say that he had already driven to the west?
If this is still alive - I'm afraid it's more than a hundred years old, right?
If I want to live, that is the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, but how is this possible?
” "Originally, the concubine didn't believe it, but this is what my brother said."
Concubine Yan chuckled: "Just a few days ago, my brother came into the palace to see the concubine, saying that he was friendly with Yan Jing, a grandson of the Yan family (the word Qinli, Yan Zhitui's grandson, Yan Shigu's brother-in-law), and some time ago Yan Jing also told him that an elder in the family had a birthday, and he wanted some special gifts to celebrate his birthday.
He knew that his brother was Zhen'er's maternal uncle, so he wanted to ask his brother to be a middleman and wanted to buy some Nanyang treasures from Zhen'er. ” "That's interesting."
Li Shimin also understood what Concubine Yan meant, and said with a smile: "In the Yan family's long house, Yan Silu, Yan Chuchu and Yan Youqin's birthdays are not during this time (these three are Yan Zhitui's sons), and the rest of the side branches are not qualified to let Yan Jing spend so much effort, so the one who has a birthday is either Yan Jing's maternal uncle's family, but the people of Yan Jing's maternal uncle's family are far away in Yangzhou, if it was the recent birthday, they would have set off a long time ago, and even if it is his maternal uncle's family, I am afraid that Yan Jing is not qualified to let Yan Jing buy such a valuable thing, So when you think about it, there's only one explanation..."
"The concubine thinks the same way."
"It does make sense."
Li Shimin nodded at first, but then shook his head and said, "But just extrapolating from such a little clue is not enough to prove anything, I need more conclusive evidence." ” "This is easy to do, just let my brother inquire more."
Yan Fei said.
"Then it's hard to love the concubine."
"Your Majesty, where are you talking about this, it is the honor of the concubine to share your worries for Your Majesty."
Nowadays, all Chang'an, or Datang people, know that there is a good place outside Chang'an City, which is full of friends and guests almost every day, making money every day, and doing prosperous business - this good place is the Royal Arena.
This is one of the places that all the warriors in the entire Datang world want to go to the most, as long as you are famous here, then you will immediately be famous all over the world, no matter what you do, it will be much smoother.
This is also the most desirable place for all the Hanmen warriors, because this is the fastest way for all civilian warriors to enter, as long as you are famous here, then you will be easily recruited by those nobles, and you can also be an ace bodyguard at the worst.
If you are lucky and are favored by the military, a captain may be in hand - it is said that the warriors of ten years ago have now been mixed up, and the best one has become the general of the Sixteenth Guard, and has properly embarked on the peak of life.
Even if you don't want to be an official, you don't want to be a bodyguard for others, go back and open a martial arts gym to live a dart game, and the business will definitely be very prosperous.
It's just that this place is not without harm, the Royal Arena is certainly a shortcut to get into, but at the same time, it is also a place of life and death, and the success here is obtained by stepping on other people's corpses.
Every inch of land here is stained with the smell of blood, at least five corpses are carried out of the arena every day, and the most one is even thirty corpses in a day, which shocked the entire Chang'an City, and even Li Shimin has heard of it, so he had to order Yan Jingsi to revise the rules of the competition, which reduced the number of deaths per day, but there are still more than three deaths a day on average, but it is much better than before.
