"You've always been lazy, but this time you were tricked by those old tricksters. Do you think this limelight is easy?"
Facing Fang Jun, who was not upright, His Majesty Li Er's words were somewhat casual. If word got out that Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng and others were called old slickers, it would definitely cause an uproar...
Unexpectedly, this time, Fang Jun said seriously: "This move will determine the foundation of the next hundred generations. The Tang Dynasty will live in obsolescence, or it will be reborn in the fire. With this move! Even if you know that you will be the target of the conservatives, I will never hesitate to take my own life. Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
He had never seen Fang Jun's serious and upright attitude before, and he thought to himself that this boy had taken the wrong medicine? The imperial examination was just a method he introduced to train poor people to fight against the rich and powerful. Who hosts it, how it is hosted, and what does it matter?
Even if arithmetic may become a wedge that can stir up the stagnant waters of Confucianism, it cannot reach the level of "living in obsolescence, or being reborn in the fire", right?
"What do you mean by this?" His Majesty Li Er also had to become serious.
Fang Jun said: "Your Majesty must know how powerful Confucianism is in the world. Your Majesty had good intentions from the beginning, cultivating students from poor families to replace those from aristocratic families, so as to achieve the goal of balance. But have you ever thought about it, in the end, Is it possible that the imperial examination will be controlled by the Confucian family? Once that day comes, there will no longer be a distinction between poor families, only Confucian scholars and non-Confucian scholars, and the situation where hundreds of schools of thought only respect Confucianism will still be abolished. So what your Majesty did today, What’s the point?”
No one knows better than him how terrifying Confucianism is after being castrated and used to rule the people. As long as the imperial examination is still controlled by Confucianism, all subjects will be heresy. Even if they are not tied up and burned, they will be severely punished. Bound into the dust, never to be able to stand up again!
However, Confucianism, which occupies the moral high ground, will still erode the passionate, bold and enterprising soul of this nation, just like in its previous life, until it becomes insensitive, has its spine collapsed, loses its blood, and is eventually abandoned by the entire world...
Fang Jun admired Confucianism and Confucius, but he did not think that what he used to rule the people after being castrated was the real Confucianism!
The core of Confucianism should be fraternity, welfare, fairness, justice, honesty, trustworthiness, reform, innovation, civilization, harmony, and the rule of law. It should be enterprising and courageous, and it should be inclusive and inclusive, rather than being a king who calls his ministers dead. I have to die, it’s not about being inferior in everything but being good at reading, let alone an eight-legged essay!
Only when a hundred flowers contend can this nation be awakened from its gradual addiction to decay, and can it stand on top of the world forever!
Therefore, rather than saying that what Fang Jun planned was the imperial examination system, it was better to say that it was the reform of the education system...
Just like the question Fang Jun asked in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, what kind of talents does Datang need?
He is an all-round talent!
Jinshi, Mingjing, arithmetic... are integrated into one. Only those who are outstanding in each subject can become the future of the Tang Dynasty!
Can you govern the world by just reading the Four Books and Five Classics?
Nonsense!
It is better to be partial to science...
His Majesty Li Er looked at the young angry young man in front of him and said helplessly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Confucianism is the foundation of the country, but you want me to suppress Confucianism, do you want to promote those military strategists, Mohist family, Yin Yang family? Regardless of your ideas Right or wrong, if I really do what you said, then when I get up tomorrow morning, I will see the world in chaos! You have to understand that I am indeed afraid of the dominance of the Confucian family, but I will never depose him Confucianism!”
What is going on in this kid's mind?
So radical!
There was no scolding, and Fang Jun was not too disappointed...
He is not a fool. Does he hope that with his words, His Majesty Li Er will give up the founding ideas of the past dynasties and attack the invincible Confucianism?
He was just testing to test His Majesty Li Er's true intentions and the possibility of accepting his own thoughts.
If there was no possibility at all, then Fang Jun would immediately resign his official position without hesitation, use his wealth to build a fleet, go overseas to occupy a piece of land, and start a new country from scratch.
If there is even a slight possibility, even if it is just a tiny bit, Fang Jun is willing to devote his whole life to this country and this nation!
It's a pity that His Majesty Li Er's words did not make a clear decision...
In this case, Fang Jun plans to add another fire!
Fang Jun had no expression on his face. He took out another book policy from his sleeve and handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands. Then he knelt down on one knee and said in a sonorous tone: "We sincerely ask Your Majesty to establish the Datang Academy of Sciences to promote natural science."
, establish a military academy to cultivate specialized military talents..."
Having said this, Fang Jun took a deep breath and said as if he were dead: "I beg your Majesty to establish a cabinet system and limit the power of the monarch!"
There was silence in the Zhengzheng Hall, only the cold wind outside the window whistled.
His Majesty Li Er maintained the posture of taking the book policy with one hand, his eyes widened, his mouth agape, as if he had seen a ghost!
Fang Jun lowered his head like an ostrich and prayed silently in his heart...
It’s okay to test His Majesty Li Er’s tendencies, but it would be tragic if he was killed by this Tyrannosaurus Rex!
I couldn't help but secretly regret it, I still couldn't calm down...
But His Majesty Li Er, who was opposite, was completely stunned.
The Datang Academy of Sciences was established to promote natural science...
Establish a military academy to cultivate specialized military talents...
Not to mention whether he agrees or not, nor whether he understands or not, at least His Majesty Li Er can still feel Fang Jun's daring loyalty to the country.
But……
Establish a cabinet system to limit monarch power?
What is the cabinet system?
The most important thing is to limit the power of the monarch?!
In an instant, His Majesty Li Er suddenly jumped up like a tiger that had lost its fur, and pounced on Fang Jun like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. With one pounce, he rushed in front of Fang Jun; with one flip, he grabbed Fang Jun by the collar and flipped him to the ground;
Scissors, Big Foot kicked Fang Jun regardless of his head or face...
The guards outside the Li Zheng Palace couldn't help but look at each other as they heard the ping-ping-pong-pong sounds in the palace. They gave Fang Erlang a thumbs up in their hearts. This guy's courage is beyond words! He has to be kicked a few times by His Majesty every time he comes here.
It's so comfortable! And this person's ability is beyond mention! Looking at the world, His Majesty Long Yan is so angry almost every time he comes to see him. This is indeed rare and rare in the world...
It took a long while before the sound in the hall stopped.
His Majesty Li Er gasped and put his hands on his hips and cursed: "You little bastard, are you going to rebel? How dare you say such rebellious words to me? Do you really think that I am reluctant to kill you? Let me tell you, I will not only kill you today.
, and I want to kill your whole family! How could Fang Xuanling, a fool, teach you, a traitor without a king or a father? Come on!"
Following His Majesty Li Er's roar, a large group of imperial guards from outside the palace came in and knelt down to listen to the order.
"If you let this bastard out, I'll beat him to death and feed him to the dogs!" His Majesty Li Er was furious.
The guards looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether His Majesty was speaking out of anger or really intending to do this...
"Are you all deaf? Do you even want to rebel against me?" His Majesty Li Er roared angrily.
"No!" The guards were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay anymore and all rushed towards Fang Jun, who was bruised and swollen.
When Fang Jun saw something bad, he rolled on the ground, avoiding the rushing guards, and rolled to the feet of His Majesty Li Er. He hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh tightly and shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life! I am
Loyal minister, you cannot feed dogs..."
His Majesty Li Er shook his thigh hard, but he couldn't shake it off. He was hugged tightly by this kid and said angrily: "Okay, don't feed the dog, I will chop this guy into pieces and throw it into the pond to feed the fish!"
"
When the imperial guards saw Fang Jun hugging His Majesty Li Er's thigh tightly, with his nose and tears rubbing on the emperor's thigh, they couldn't help but swallowed and didn't know what to do. At the same time, they secretly wondered in their hearts.
How did Erlang make His Majesty lose such a temper? In the past, it was just a few kicks, or at most a few whips and a few slaps. Today, he is feeding both dogs and fishes. It seems that he is really angry.
Not light...
In a word, Fang Erlang, you are awesome!
Just listen to Fang Jun shouting: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the sun and the moon. If you kill me to feed the fish, it will definitely cause pity from heaven. It is snowing heavily outside. I am more unjust than Dou E!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious: "Go to hell! It's snowing outside now..."
Fang Jun softened his tone and said quickly: "Your Majesty, let's take a look at the memorial. If you still think that Wei Chen is a traitor after reading it, he will be killed at any time!"
His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily and shouted: "Well, I will see how you talk nonsense and treason, and I will convince you to death! Someone, give me this animal and put it in the sky prison, and wait until I think of something."
The way to die can relieve the hatred in the heart, and then hold him to account!"
"promise!"
This time, the guards did not dare to delay at all. They pounced on him like tigers and pried open Fang Jun's fingers one by one as he hugged His Majesty's thigh like a fish. Then, regardless of his heartbreaking cries, he dragged Fang Jun away.
