quiet!

Deadly silence!

Whether it is the rulers of countries like Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, or the soldiers who cannot even recognize words, they are all lowering their eyebrows and contemplating.≤,

Is this not just the meaning of this sentence?

It is a collision between a brand new idea and an old idea.

In China, since Shang Yang's reforms in the Qin Dynasty, the idea of ​​fooling the people has become the inertial thinking of the rulers. Shang Yang's reforms were the most typical policy of fooling the people. This was not concealed by the Qin Dynasty, but it was very direct to the people that fooling the people is the good people of the country. However, the Qin Dynasty did not persist for a few years, and there were many reasons, and this policy of fooling the people was also a very important reason.

Are human beings always progressing? The demise of the Qin Dynasty forced Emperor Wu of Han to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone. This was just a decoration for the policy of fooling the people, but it still did not change at all.

For a long time, it has always been the same as the root of everything.

They all believe that only fools can withstand the violent rule of ****.

The Qing Dynasty even played the idea of ​​fooling the people to the extreme. Not only fooling the people, but also fooling the king. Everyone is stupid, from top to bottom, the ruler is just the best among stupid people. Such a country is indeed very stable and there will be no big turmoil. This is certain. If there were no Western powers, the Qing Dynasty would probably be able to rule for a long time, but the demise of the Qing Dynasty proves that the policy of fooling the people would not work.

They have already played to the extreme, and they have been destroyed.

Although the Qin and Han Dynasties and Southern and Northern Dynasties were all renovating the aristocratic groups, the aristocrats rely on those foolish people, and those who truly overthrow the rulers were still those foolish people.

Taking ancient times as a mirror, we can tell the rise and fall of the enemy.

Yang Menghao's words brought a new idea, and it was completely opposite to the rules.

It makes sense too.

The idea of ​​fooling the people does cater to the interests of the monarch on a certain level, but to put it more carefully, the idea of ​​fooling the people cater to the interests of the rulers. The ruler is just a general term, which can be you, or it can be him.

If there is only the emperor in the world, there is nothing to say. But the problem is not like this. There are still many smart people in the world. The foolish people can be ruled by anyone, and whoever gives them food will depend on. Moreover, the more foolish people, the more likely the country is to be incited, which is very dangerous.

So has the policy of fooling the people harmed the interests of the monarch?

In fact, when Li Yuan raised an army, of course, the more fools the people, the better. This will make it easier to strengthen his own power. If everyone is Wen Tianxiang, who will Li Yuan fool? But in this peaceful and prosperous times, the imperial power is very stable. So does the emperor still need fools the people at this time?

I am already the emperor, and smart people will also agree that I am the emperor, but what about the foolish people? The foolish people will only agree with the person who gives him food.

Unless this emperor believes that he is a foolish monarch and cannot rule the people with slightly higher IQ, which emperor will think that he is a foolish monarch and an incompetent person.

Because it is a brand new idea, everyone is thinking.

In fact, both ideas have pros and cons. The problem is that the policy of ignoring the people has failed countless times, so can the latter work?

Liu Hanyu frowned and was about to get up.

But Cui Youyu held him down and shook his head slightly.

This sentence has touched the high-voltage line, because it has already involved the interests of emperors, nobles and people. You cannot speak indiscriminately. In this case, too much words will lead to mistakes.

Han Yi also showed a thoughtful expression, but there was an elusive look in his eyes. He thought, these words are the highlight of today, so you can think about it slowly, this is just the beginning.

Yang Menghao was excited and saw that everyone stopped talking, he began to be scared. With his knowledge, he could only understand the superficial truths and deeper things, which he could not understand.

"good!"

Li Zhi suddenly stood up and smiled and said, "Yang Menghao said it very well! I agree very much. In fact, what the Saint Kong wants to express is not the most important thing, but which meaning can benefit the country and the people. This is the most important thing. Therefore, you must remember this point. It is not the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Yonghui period. Whether you study or practice martial arts, you are all for yourself, for the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for the Saint Kong, and not for the people of the Spring and Autumn Period. I hope you can remember this point."

"Your Majesty's earnest teachings, students must keep them in mind."

The students responded in unison.

Yang Menghao was so happy to see the emperor agreeing with his words.

Li Zhi suddenly said, "I just felt a little bit like this. You guys continue, let's continue."

As he said that, he sat back.

Many ministers showed confusion, not knowing whether Li Zhi agreed or disagreed, and they didn't understand it for a while, so they didn't say anything.

Only Han Yi had no joy on his face, and he still looked selfless and knocked on Mu Chu, saying, "After this round, there should be a representative from the official side to speak."

Who dares to say this? I really want to die.

Cui Youyu was helpless and bowed: "Second Inspector, our debate has been completed."

Han Yi said oh, and then said to the opposing side: "Where is anyone else going to speak on the opposing side?"

A silence.

Han Yi's wooden pounding fell and said, "Okay, since both sides have finished the debate, then the debate ends here. Please ask the judges to vote." Speaking of this, he pointed to a clay pot on the side and said, "There are many bamboo slices in the clay pot, with positive and negative words on it. You can choose the votes of the party you think are right and put them into the wooden box on the side. For fairness, your votes will be completely confidential. No one knows what votes you vote, so you only need to vote those you think are right. Let's start now."

The judges in the middle followed Han Yi's order and came to the front and started queuing up to vote. They first took out the votes from the clay pot and then threw them into the wooden box. Han Yi's arrangement made them very relieved, at least they were not afraid of voting wrongly. Anyway, they didn't know what votes they voted for.

Soon, one hundred and twenty-seven people voted.

Next is to read out the voting results.

Han Yi was also very fair, and he took it out one by one vote and slowly revealed the results under the eyes of everyone.

The atmosphere gradually became tense again.

I forgot what Yang Menghao said just now, after all, competition is always so charming.

Soon! The opposition reached sixty-four votes.

Suddenly, there was a celebration on the opposite side. Yang Menghao and the others even jumped up, and everyone hugged each other.

The side of the official side was dejected.

In fact, Cui Youyu and Pei Shaofeng had guessed the result in advance. Lu Kaiming fully catered to the interests of the common people, and Yang Menghao even proposed the view that popularized education and benefited the country and the people. Their views only catered to the interests of the nobles and did not bring anything to the people. Besides, Li Zhi also praised Yang Menghao personally, because the votes were all poor. Of course, they voted on the opposing side.

Bang bang bang bang!

Han Yi suddenly knocked on the wooden pounding a few times and said, "Okay, the outcome of this debate competition has been decided. As the initiator of this debate competition, I naturally have to make a summary."

Swish swish swish swish!

All eyes looked at Han Yi.

Many people were already sweating and felt a little uneasy. During the day, Han Yi was the well-deserved protagonist. Most of the ministers stayed here to watch the debate competition. However, he disappeared in this debate competition. Almost everyone forgot about him. Now that he saw that he was about to speak, if he made any shocking remarks, he would feel cautious just thinking about it.

I know I'm afraid, but I'm not stupid. Whoever speaks at this time will become a pig. Han Yi smiled and said, "Students must remember that this victory or loss only represents the winner and loser of this debate. It cannot represent what this sentence means, nor does it mean any meaning. Do you still remember the spirit of the Royal Police I mentioned earlier? Be bold assumptions. Be careful to verify. This debate can only prove that the direction of our bold verification may not be wrong, but whether it is correct or not, you have to use evidence to illustrate. Otherwise, everything will be boastful and useless. Therefore, the winner should not be too proud, and the loser should not be discouraged."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. The first time they thought Han Yi was actually quite good, but they didn't know that Han Yi had already said everything he should have said.

Han Yi went down the steps, came to Li Zhi, and bowed, "Your Majesty, do you want to say a few words?"

This time, Li Zhi did not refuse, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, the feeling that this debate competition gives me is to listen to your words, which is better than reading for ten years. Each of you has a very exciting debate. From a trivial word, talking about the benefit of the country and the people, and the country, this has given me a lot of inspiration. If the biggest winner of this debate competition is, I can tell you, it is me, my beloved ministers. Today, I talk about the words of a saint, so I will borrow the words of a saint. If three people walk together, I will be my teacher. After this debate competition, I look forward to you to end the training camp as soon as possible, come out to play for the country and the people as soon as possible. I have reserved a seat for you in my court."

Oh my god! This is the biggest reward!

These students were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Xu Jingzong and others were ashamed. It would be great if their grandson was here too! How many opportunities would there be for life to show up in front of the monarch.

Li Zhi nodded with a smile, and then said to Changsun Wuji: "Taiwei, please say a few words too."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand in a hurry and said, "The old minister will be spared, and the old minister will be spared."

Li Zhi whispered: "Uncle has always been known as the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. If my uncle gave these students some encouragement, I believe they will work harder."

All of them called my uncle, could Changsun Wuji refuse? I could only nod and accept it, and then went up to the front two steps: "I have been listening for a long time. My biggest feeling is that I am old! But I am not sad at all, and I feel very relieved. This person is always unable to escape death. Therefore, everyone often says that there are successors. When I see you, I suddenly feel that the burden on this shoulder has become much lighter. I hope you can continue to work hard and take over this burden on my shoulders in the future, assist Your Majesty, and lead my Tang Dynasty to become stronger, so I will be satisfied."

As soon as the words finished, applause was everywhere.

This is definitely the perfect motivation.

Many students looked at each other with respect.

Han Yi thought to himself that he was worthy of being an old fox, and it was really airtight.

In addition to inspiration, Changsun Wuji's words also expressed one meaning, that is, it is time for me to retire. It seems that the power is a burden. I am old and I can't afford it anymore. Come and share some of it.

Xian is quite like this!

But is this the truth? Of course not. The Changsun lineage has just reached its peak now. It is difficult for anyone to choose to retreat at their peak. This is almost difficult to achieve. Moreover, his burden is not so easy to handle. If he doesn't get it well, he will not receive the burden, but he will be crushed to death.

After the debate competition, Li Zhi and a group of ministers left. They all expressed their recognition of this debate competition and their affirmation of these students, but none of them expressed their recognition of the content.

First of all, these words are not so easy to agree with, and they have not fully understood them.

Secondly, this is just the words of Wuji, a few children with yellow mouths. Although they all make some sense, they are not very thorough in their considerations. Just talking about popularization of education, the four simple words, how much manpower and material resources the court has put into doing? Moreover, if the emperor or the Grand Marshal expressed their approval, the meaning of this statement may have completely changed.

Whether it is a evangelical person like Chu Suiliang or Liu Fu, who specializes in causing trouble, they all choose to remain silent because they know that if they fight, it will only make things more complicated.

Especially the aristocratic class, they are unwilling to do too much discussion on this, so just forget it after listening.

But Han Yi believes that these words will remain in the hearts of many people.
Chapter completed!
