Chapter 440: Breaking the old and establishing the new

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were disappointed because Li Feng did not give them good news, so they returned with bad news.

After Li Er learned the news, he said: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. At present, the focus is on the imperial examination, and there are also many things such as disaster relief and food waiting for everyone to do."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui decided to let the matter go.

In Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Yuan was very distressed when he learned that his sixth son Li Yuanjing wanted to kill his grandson Li Chengqian.

So the Supreme Emperor wanted to leave the palace. After Li Er learned about this, he immediately rushed to Tai Chi Palace.

"Father, why do you want to leave the palace?" Li Er asked.

Li Yuan gave Li Er an old look and sighed: "Second brother, I've been in the palace for a while and want to go out for some fresh air. You won't disagree, right?"

Li Er smiled and said: "If it were normal times, I would definitely agree. But not now. Before the leader of the rebellion is found, I hope it would be safer for the Supreme Emperor to stay in the palace."

"Do you think Lao Liu is the leader of the rebellion?"

"I have never thought about it this way, but my father has to admit that he has harmful intentions to inherit Qian, right?" Li Er asked rhetorically.

Li Yuan sneered: "Even if Lao Liu wanted to harm Cheng Qian, didn't he succeed? You can just punish him with a big warning. Cheng Qian will be fine anyway.

If you think he is an eyesore, you can transfer him to another place, even if he is transferred to Lingnan, I will be happy."

Li Er said helplessly: "Okay, I promise my father, one month later, if no evidence is found, then I will let him return to the fiefdom."

"Okay, this is what you said. I want to see Li Feng. You can make arrangements for this." Li Yuan said.

"Come here, call Li Feng to accompany the Supreme Emperor to relieve his boredom." Li Er said immediately.

Immediately, eunuchs came out of the palace to find Li Feng.

At this time, Li Feng was in the backyard of Zhuangyuan Building. There were more than two hundred people standing in the backyard.

There were three people kneeling in front of Li Feng. They were Zhang Li, Bai Yan and Wu Guang.

Zhao Long handed a stack of evidence to Li Feng: "Master Hou, these are their evidence. They haven't done anything good since they opened the gambling house.

If it weren't for the worry that the Marquis would be of great use to them, the general would have wanted to kill them long ago."

Li Feng looked at the evidence of the crime and said: "You three are really hopeless. Although you have not killed a single person, you have forced them into desperation, and many of them have sought death in the end.

Therefore, I can only send you to the government to see how the government sentences you. If you can't die, I am willing to accept you as my younger brother."

Zhang Li said: "If you can lose to Lan Tianhou, I'll be convinced."

Li Feng smiled slightly: "He is a man."

Bai Yan said: "You know I ran away yesterday."

Li Feng smiled and said: "There is no regret medicine in this world."

"Humph, since I have been in this business, I have never regretted it. I just don't accept it. We lost without taking a gamble at the gambling table. I am very unwilling to do so." Wu Guang said very unwillingly.

Li Feng chuckled and said: "Humph, if you don't give in, what does it have to do with me? As long as you know that you have lost to me now."

"You...I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced." After Wu Guang said "you", he didn't know what to say next, so he could only keep saying that I was not convinced.

Li Feng waved his hand and said: "Take them to the county government. Remember that the county government is not allowed to bend the law for personal gain, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Zhang Long and Xu Hu responded at the same time.

The backyard suddenly became empty. It was as if Zhao Long and the others had never been there at all.

Li Feng also returned to his room.

Shangguan Yi suddenly ran over at this time: "Teacher, are you here?"

Li Feng opened the door and said, "What's going on? Come in and talk."

Shangguan Yi said as he entered the room: "This disciple has figured out the meaning of his teacher's destruction of old things and establishment of new ones."

"Oh, tell me." Li Feng said with interest.

Shangguan Yi came to Li Feng and said: "Teacher, destroy the old and establish the new. As the name suggests, it means breaking the old traditional concepts and creating new ones. To put it bluntly, it means letting us accept new things."

Li Feng nodded and said: "It's almost the same. But the real way of destroying old habits and establishing new ones is to abandon bad habits and break old bad habits, such as being dipped in a pig cage. Why should a woman be dipped in a pig cage if she cheats?"

Why does marriage have to go through the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s advice?”

"Teacher, if a woman cheats on her husband, she is unfaithful to her husband. If it is not stopped, women in the world will follow suit and start stealing men and being unfaithful to their husbands. Once it becomes a trend, who will trust women?"

Shangguan Yi said.

Li Feng sighed and said: "You only see women stealing people, but you don't know why they steal people? Maybe their husbands are wrong, or maybe they were a loving couple and were snatched away by their current husband.

It’s also possible that a woman has been keeping an empty house alone. It’s dilapidated. Why should we dilapidate it? Because it’s unreasonable and because human life is insignificant. If you are an official in the future, will you just ignore someone who is soaked in a pig cage?”

"Of course the disciple will take care of it and will stop it. If it is determined to be the woman's fault, the disciple may convict the woman." Shangguan Yi said.

Li Feng nodded and said: "It's normal to be punished for crimes. I don't blame you. So this bad habit is an old habit. What you have to do is to break the old habit. However, this is not enough, you have to establish a new one."

"Teacher, how should a disciple establish a new position?" Shangguan Yi asked again.

Li Feng smiled and said: "You have already said, use the law."

Shangguan Yi suddenly became enlightened and saluted, "Thank you very much, my mentor, for your guidance."

Li Feng waved his hands and said: "This is among the people, and it is one of the bad habits. After you become an official, you may encounter many bad habits. What you have to do is to break these bad habits.

Now I ask you again, can a woman be the emperor? Can you accept a woman as the emperor?"

"A woman becomes the emperor? Master, you must not say that. This is a big taboo." Shangguan Yi said.

Li Feng shook his head and said, "Does that mean you can't accept a woman as emperor?"

"Disciple cannot accept this," Shangguan Yi said with certainty.

Li Feng sighed and said: "Shangguanyi, let me ask you, when you become an official in the future, will you do it for the people? Or for the Li Tang royal family?"

"Is there any difference?" Shangguan Yi asked puzzledly.

Li Feng said: "Of course there is a difference. For the sake of the people, anyone can be the emperor, as long as the emperor is good for the people.

If it's for the Li Tang royal family, then you can't take the quality of the people too seriously.

If you were in the former Sui Dynasty, would you be an official for Yang Guang, or would you be an official for the common people?"

Shangguan Yi said without hesitation: "Of course I am an official for the people of the world."

"Aren't you afraid of death? There is only one consequence for offending Yang Guang." Li Feng said.

"Disciple is not afraid of death. For the sake of the people, I will definitely advise the emperor and risk my own life to do so." Shangguan Yi looked like he was sacrificing himself generously.
