Chapter 1819: Fighting with weapons

Bian Guan continued: "Of course, it is not only Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Legalism that are concerned about social issues, they are also important branches."

"But the pursuit of Taoism is to restore social people to individual people. Today, when society has developed to the point where the relationship between people is very complicated, it has become an individual pursuit, which itself is alienated from society."

"But Mohism is too idealistic and has too high requirements for people's moral quality."

"Unless everyone in society is a Mohist, the society that the Mohists want to achieve cannot be produced. Therefore, it itself cannot be applied to widespread practice - a 'paradox'."

"As for my father's understanding of Confucianism and law, he regards Confucianism more as an idea and law as a means."

"Use the concept of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness to formulate specific laws and regulations that can be implemented. The two complement each other and cannot be neglected. Then use them to praise the king, supervise officials, manage the government, educate the people, and guide the atmosphere, and then you can achieve superior governance.

.”

"As for the pursuit of life and life, it is because you are small and you lose the big thing; to pursue the three generations in vain is to aim too high. Neo-Confucianism is a study of managing the world and applying it, and it emphasizes practicality, so it is not used."

"These are the outlines of Neo-Confucianism. As for the detailed knowledge, it is not something that a foreign minister can explain clearly in a short while."

Concubine Wen couldn't help but marvel, and she also solved many questions in her mind: "If it weren't for the guidance of the Queen of Shangguo, the Ai family would have almost missed the great sage! Sir, he is both civil and military, how can he be a talented person of thousands of miles!"

Bian Guan bowed and said, "These are the instructions from my father. They are not what foreign ministers think. When it comes to great talents, my father is the one who can look up to the mountains."

"However, the foreign minister wanted to congratulate the empress. In order to provide King Jin with better study conditions, our Majesty generously presented King Jin with 580,000 guan of silk banknotes. The Queen also asked the charity fund to allocate 120,000 guan to make up the money.

We spent 700,000 yuan to build schools specifically for Liaodong. From now on, these contents can be learned in schools."

Concubine Wen couldn't help but stood up excitedly: "This... Liaodong Hedao, I am grateful for your great kindness."

Bian Guan said: "After several major depreciations, the silk banknotes are now only half of the treasure banknotes. In fact, they are 350,000 yuan of imported money."

"Nowadays, the foreign trade books of the Song Dynasty have always been one volume. To develop literature and education in Liaodong, there must be at least a few printing houses and a library. Each county must have a primary school and a state school. The state school also needs a library."

"Liaoyang also needs the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy. The remaining expenses for raising scholars are actually not that much."

Concubine Wen said: "Unfortunately, my husband died in death. The sky is not clear and the Liao Dynasty is not clear. All the way south, the tragic scenes I saw are unbearable to witness."

"I recently read Situ's "Ethics" and saw the section "Rights and Obligations" in it, and I realized that the emperor also has his own responsibilities."

"This is what Situ said, 'When a crown is placed on one's body, it must bear its weight.' Ji'er and I cannot shoulder such a responsibility now, so... we want the King of Jin to attach himself to the Song Dynasty and follow the Goryeo system. From now on, Liaodong will be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

I look up to Qin to protect you, and I haven’t lost a single king."

Bian Guan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. No one can say how things will develop now. But King Jin is the eldest son, and he has some responsibilities. He doesn't have to bear them if your Majesty wants him to.

.”

"If this were not the case, why would the empress be oppressed by Queen Yuanfei, and why would she be willing to risk her life and death to take refuge in Liaodong?"

"But there are two things that the foreign minister can guarantee to the empress."

"One is that the Song Dynasty and Liaodong have common interests. The peace of the Liaodong Road is the interest of the Song Dynasty."

"The second is that all measures taken by the Song Dynasty in Liaodong will be based on protecting the interests of the people of Liaodong and respecting the choices of the people of Liaodong."

"If the empress becomes a person like Queen Fu of Goryeo and can win the support of the people in Liaodong, then the status of the empress and the King of Jin will still be as stable as Mount Tai even if they put aside the current constraints of blood."

This is actually the same thing as Concubine Wen said - to gain the support of the people of Liaodong, you must have the help of the Song Dynasty, you must be close to the Song Dynasty, and you must implement the Song Dynasty system.

Liaodong is the homeland of the Bohai Sea. It is not loyal enough to the Khitan and will only be grateful to the Song Dynasty for bringing them peace and tranquility.

And if Concubine Wen was an enlightened politician and respected the will of the people of Liaodong, she would still reach the same goal in the end.

The hint of the flat pot is that before that, Concubine Wen and Prince Jin should play their roles well and at the same time obtain greater benefits.

The King of Goryeo, the King of Jiaozhi, and the King of Black Khan may lead a country independently; they may integrate into the nobility class of the Song Dynasty, and may even be admitted to the imperial examination and become a complete Song Dynasty family; or they may be under house arrest.

This king and king's treatment,

It's also different.

Bian Guan knew that what Concubine Wen said today was because she was worried about the southwest and northeast: "As for how King Wei and Beiting will act, I don't need to pay attention to it. I only need to remember that it is the best to comply with the wishes of Liaodong."

The key to solving the Liaodong problem is the foundation of the empress and the King of Jin, and this is enough."

…

In November of the second year of Shaosheng, three Liao envoys gathered at Dutingyi, Chongmingmen Nei Street, and staged a full martial arts show in the embassy.

The envoy of the King of Wei was Li Shi, the son of Li Chuwen. Because the Taichang Shaoqing Yelu Chuzhen, the envoy of the Northern Court, scolded his father and uncle as traitors and traitors for seeking glory, he became angry and scolded Yelu Chuzhen for his unknown origin, his father was a slave and his mother was a prostitute.

, Yelu Chuzhen was the son of a prostitute.

The two people's scoldings were actually well-founded. Li Chuwen and Yelu Yan were originally flattering Xiao Feng before he could advance, and the brothers committed wanton corruption, attracting the attention of both the government and the public.

There was a big change in Beijing. Li Chuwen turned over to the King of Wei and became King Wei's royal secretary. The King of Wei entrusted Li Chuwen with two government affairs. The brothers Li Chuneng were as powerful as Xiao Fengxian for a while.

It is really not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor.

Yelu Yan, whose real name is Li Yan, was born as a Jinshi, and his knowledge and political ability were quite good. However, his official career was promoted because his wife was beautiful and favored by Yelu Hongji. For this reason, he was given the national surname, and later

The slanderous Xiao Fengxian became the Privy Councilor.

To say that he is a cuckold high-ranking official and that he is a slave to his fate is really just telling the truth.

But if two sons expose each other's elders' shortcomings, they must start a fight.

The envoy sent by the Liaonan Southeast Academy was Gong Yi, the former general and supervisor of the Liao Kingdom. When he saw the two second-generation ancestors starting to lead their subordinates to fight in a group, he quickly came out to stop them.

Although Gong Yi's official position was not high, he was good friends with Dagong Ding, Yu Zhongwen, and Cao Yongyi, and he was well known as a capable person in the Liao Kingdom.

Now that Dagong Ding is dead, Yu Zhongwen and Cao Yongyi are both important ministers of the King of Wei. Yelu Chuzhen thought that Gong Yi was trying to distract him, so he even fought with Gong Yi.

By the time the Song Dynasty's official summoned the imperial troops to control the situation, the entire Dutingyi was beaten to a pulp. Hundreds of people were fighting with each other, using wooden sticks and short knives. There were many injured people lying on the ground, writhing and wailing.

Seeing this, the leader of the Song Dynasty guards pulled out the small thirteen gun from his waist and fired three muskets in the air: "Stop it! Throw away your things and hold your head with your hands! Squat down! If anyone else is holding a weapon, we will kill him without mercy!"

The sergeants immediately flicked out their bayonets and pulled the bolts of their guns: "Abandon your weapons, hold your head, and squat down! Otherwise, we will kill you all!"

The murderous sergeants immediately shocked the three Liao people, and they all dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

Li Shi wanted to come up to negotiate, but the leader hit the hollow of his neck with a gun butt: "I told you to hold your head and squat down! Don't you understand?!"

Li Xi groaned and squatted down, not daring to say a word again.

The leader of the guards was holding a gun: "The emperor's feet have been violently rebellious! I am Chongban Diwen of the Inner Palace. From now on, no one is allowed to move! Wait for the people from Kaifeng Mansion, Honglu Temple, and the Imperial City Department to deal with it!"

The sound of gunshots rang out in Duting Post, which soon alerted the Kaifeng Mansion. Su Mai, the new Kaifeng Mansion judge, led the officials to arrive first. He did not blame the Liao people first, but became angry with Di Wen: "Zi Yuan, are you crazy?!

If you dare to attack the Kaifeng Mansion, you will be impeached!"

Di Wen is the son of Di Yong and has always had a good relationship with the Su family. When he saw Su Mai coming over, he just pocketed the gun and said with a wry smile: "The situation is urgent. There are hundreds of people fighting with weapons. What will happen if we don't stop it in time? When I was writing down the transcript later,

Weikang needs a noble hand."

"Business matters, it's too late to beg for mercy now!" Su Mai spoke righteously, but quietly reached out and patted Di Wen's arm, and then shouted to the officials: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the injured person

Pull it out and call the doctor!"

Not long after, Colander also hurried over. He now has authority over Honglu Temple, and diplomatic work is under his direct control. If anything happens to Dutingyi, he will definitely come over to take care of it.

Seeing the mess on the ground, Colander couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Don't the three envoys know that they represent the country and the king? Even if there are huge personal grievances, the embassy is the place where things should be discussed?"

"Sorry, we can only send sergeants on duty to supervise this Dutingyi. From now on, you and your subordinates will be separated and not allowed to contact each other. I will report the matter to Your Majesty, and you will just wait and see what happens to the court and Your Majesty.

Deal with it."

Gong Yi quickly tried to clear himself up: "Sister Xiao Su, I was the one who tried to break up the fight, but I couldn't stop the fight. It's really unfair..."

Lao Lao smiled bitterly and said: "Envoy Gong doesn't need to defend himself. If something like this happened in the Liao Dynasty's post house, even I would have to suffer from you. How can you escape the blame while you are in the post house? How else can you compare?

Am I more unjust?"
