Chapter 583: Morality

"On Morality" discusses the moral conduct that scholars should have.

The article focuses on pointing out that as the leaders of the four peoples, scholars not only enjoy preferential treatment and reputation, but also bear corresponding obligations and responsibilities, both in terms of social life and moral standards.

It can even be said that rights and honors themselves come from obligations and responsibilities. If the skin is gone, how can Mao generals be attached?

If you have not made any contribution to the country, why do you deserve to be honored?

Li Fugui's problem was not his defeat.

First one thousand people, then three thousand people, and use the tactic of adding fuel to attack 30,000 people. Undefeated is a genius, losing is the norm.

Because the enemy was unknown, it failed. According to the laws and practices of the Song Dynasty, it was located in one state and managed.

But in order to cover up the fact of defeat, he framed his colleagues and falsely accused the generals of death. Isn't this crime worse than that of capitalizing on the enemy? Can this also be used to clear his name?

The difference between Su You and him was not in provoking a war and winning or losing, but in the huge difference in moral character.

Therefore, Li Fugui has no moral character and can only be called a hypocrite. He killed more than one general. This is a heinous crime and should be compensated with his life.

This grand treatise first deprived Li Fugui of his status as a scholar-official, and then nailed him to the pillar of moral shame.

At the end of the article, it is said that the ancient scholars, below the rank of ministers and officials, are the lowest cornerstone of the emperor's management of the people and the reserve talents of the superstructure.

Among the ancient scholars, those who charioted could become princes, and those who slaughtered could become ministers.

Fu Yueju started in Banzhu and Jiang Shang started in Weibin. It cannot be said that they are not talented people.

Xian Gao rewarded the Qin army, and Nie Yi sought out Ma Yi. It cannot be said that they did not love the country.

So can they be called scholars? As long as they are talented and virtuous, of course they can.

This is the first time that Su You has stirred up public opinion and remonstrated, and it is also an attempt to see the reactions from various parties.

He first wrote the article. After sending it to Su Shi, Su Shi despised it and then rewrote it based on the meaning of the title.

After Forgetting Rain Pavilion was distributed, the effect was very good, but neither of them was embarrassed to admit that they were the main creators, and instead added a layer of mystery to the article.

Leave it to the experts a thousand years from now to have a headache.

On the surface, Su You honestly reported to the court his experiences before and after the war.

First of all, let me explain that this plan is the crystallization of the joint wisdom of His Majesty, Zhongshu, Privy Council, and local parties. He is only the executor and suggester, not the decision-maker.

Fortunately, his decision was very wise, so he successfully completed the mission.

After that, the results of the battle were reported, and half of the Xixia people were plundered. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the results of the battle.

Then he pointed out that war is an unknown thing, so the harm it brings is inevitable.

The Xixia people are also human beings, and it is a sin to take them back for relief on their own initiative. I request the Zhongshu and the Privy Council to punish them.

Finally, it was said that the current situation had turned in favor of the Song Dynasty, but Huanqing was in urgent need of restoration and repairs, so it was decided to allocate part of the loot from Weizhou to the Transportation Department for Han Jiang's relief.

In terms of military affairs, there is an urgent need to supplement the military strength of Yongxing Military Road. Please consider this.

At the same time, in order to maintain pressure on Xixia, Shaanxi will also overhaul Shimen Fort. It will become the most critical node in the Song Dynasty's Xixia strategy. Its importance is just like Tiandu Mountain to Xixia!

Su You is a lazy man. In the past, whenever he went out, Zhongshu would issue an edict to severely reprimand him for not reporting promptly, but this time I really can't blame him.

Because it's really too fast.

In half a month, he quickly cut off the chaos of Xixia's invasion and quickly reversed the situation against Xia. The label of "knowing the soldiers" on his head was really strong this time.

After the battle ended like this, Su You breathed a sigh of relief and had time to reminisce with his old comrades.

Wang Wenyu is now the defense envoy of the Deshun Army. He has entered the Dharma Eyes of Zhao Xu, who is "too sharp to enter people", and has been promoted very quickly. He has been promoted to the same level as Su Lie.

But Su You didn't come to see him today, but came specifically to see his bride.

Shi Wei is pregnant!

This news made Su You even more excited than the big victory.

No, it’s not that I’m excited, it’s that I finally don’t need to take medicine anymore!

If he were still in Bianjing City, Su You would dare to walk in the Shifu and deny his relatives: "Who else said that I can't do it?! Who else?!"

For more than a year, I have not dared to visit the Shifu because every time I went there, the old lady would nag him that Su You was not sown frequently enough and the farming methods were not scientific enough, and everyone would look at him like they were capons.

The eyes clashed fiercely in the air.

What are you looking at? I am the one who promotes capons!

Humph! Anyway, it’s a problem of cattle, not a problem of land!

Shi Wei's physical fitness is probably ranked first among the women of the Song Dynasty, so the problem must be with Su Langjun!

Many people talk about gold, but people use it to destroy bones. Nowadays, in Bianjing City, there are some whispers that "Su Tanhua can't do it".

Now that Yu Niang has received her imperial decree, her clothes and makeup are very different from those when she was selling gourd chickens in a shop. Because Su You is a great benefactor of the Wang family, she doesn't show any signs of outsiders. She has a big belly and smiles while looking at the same without showing signs of outsiders.

Su You bit into the gourd chicken and said, "My dear friend, eat slowly and pack a few back later. Why do you bother to ask about these women's household affairs?"

Su You raised his head and stared: "What kind of housework is this? That's my baby!"

Jade Lady chuckled: "Yes, yes..."

Su You said again: "You have also been taught bad things by Wang Zimao. If he wants to call his benefactor blindly, that is his business. Just call me Mingrun."

Wang Wenyu didn't even have a Chinese character, and Su You gave him this character.

Yu Niang seemed to have thought of what happened back then, and was a little moved. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and stabilized her mind: "The county gentleman's physique is excellent. The pills from Yuju Guantian Master's Mansion are very effective. I

I don’t even understand what you are worried about.”

Su You immediately nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes, this reminder is very timely, wait until I write it down..."

After finishing speaking, he wiped his hands, took out a notebook from his schoolbag and started writing, still mumbling: "You can't go near the chemistry laboratory... you can't conduct chemical experiments, drug trials... you can't go to treat people..."

He stopped writing and looked at the roof and thought for a while: "I'm afraid the last one won't work..."

Then he lowered his head again, crossed out this article, and continued to write wildly: "In the city and in the camps, health regulations are enforced everywhere. The wounded barracks, the charity house, and the Juzicang must be severely punished. This matter is transferred to Cai Ting, the magistrate of Weizhou.

Take responsibility! Urgent order!"

After he finished writing, he took the seal and sealed it. He opened the pencil case, took out the copper ruler and pressed it to tear it off. He shouted to the door: "Brother Qi! Take this to Zhizhou Yamen immediately! The young master wants to make Weizhou like Meishan."

Civilized and hygienic city!”

After saying that, he stood up and said, "There are still many things to do. Next, it's time to sow wheat. Years ago, I had to go to Xijing with Zhang Shanchang to visit Bachelor Sima. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't get up... If you are healthy, don't get up.

.”

Sima Guang took the people from Zizhi Tongjian Bookstore to write a book in Luoyang. After he retired from the position of admonition, he never talked about the government affairs. He really said that he "is not in his position and does not seek government affairs."

Of course, the resentment accumulated in my heart is understandable.

The Du Paradise has not yet been renovated, so Su You decided to come over and win the order.

In his letter to Sima Guang, Su Shi also advised him that a small residence with five acres of land did not match his status and influence. He heard that there was a place with twenty acres of land in the west of Luoyang, and suggested that Sima Guang buy it.

When Su You arrived, Sima Guang and Shao Yong, assistant manager of the bookstore, greeted him at the door.

After a trip together to patrol the river, Sima Guang also began to value Su You. In the whole court, there was only one person of Su You's age who could fall in Sima Guang's favor.

Seeing Su You coming from afar with his servants, Sima Guang said to Shao Yong: "Look, this is the future prime minister of the Song Dynasty."

Shao Yong shook his head: "I approved this son's fate, Junshi, you are looking down on him."

Sima Guang was horrified: "Yaofu must not talk nonsense."

Shao Yong smiled and said: "Where are you thinking? This boy is born with benevolence and is a top-notch person. What I am saying is..."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the north.

Sima Guang immediately understood: "Youyun?"
