Chapter 719 Yeah, give him a catch
Somehow, Li Hong always felt that his uncle's smile was cold today.
"Prince."
Jia Ping'an knocked on the table and said seriously: "Don't be distracted."
"yes."
Li Hong sat up straight.
Jia Ping'an felt very relieved, and immediately began to give lectures.
"The earth is not flat. I said this in the last class. What I want to teach today is some phenomena of nature, such as where does lightning and thunder come from, why do you see lightning first, and then thunder comes out later?" ?”
Li Hong froze for a moment, "Really? If it's true, Uncle, then the thunder was held back."
Smart baby, smarter than his father.
Jia Ping'an unkindly slandered Li Zhi, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can wait for the thunderstorm to observe it, and see if it's the case."
"As for why... Lightning is light, while thunder is sound. The speed of sound is not slow, but it is far from being comparable to the speed of light, so we will see lightning first, followed by thunder."
After school, Li Hong sat on the steps, resting his chin on his hands and staring blankly at the sky.
It's cloudy!
Uncle said that this kind of weather is most likely to produce thunder and lightning.
But he kept observing, and there was no thunder and lightning until noon.
At night, the clouds are so low that you can reach out and grab them and drag them down.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest."
"later."
Li Hong refused.
Wang Xia came out and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you don't rest tomorrow, you will lose energy."
"Do not talk!"
Li Hong stood up suddenly and stared at the night sky.
Is what uncle said true?
He felt lightning hovering in the clouds.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
This lightning bolt was so brilliant that Li Hong almost ignored the thunder.
Until the lightning almost disappeared, thunder came with a bang.
"It's true! What uncle said is true!"
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky again.
The boy stood in front of the bedroom and cheered happily.
"It is going to rain."
Jia Pingan stood outside the house and asked, "How long has Xiaoyu been gone?"
"It's been more than an hour."
Wang Laoer is also very worried, but let alone worried at this time, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he has to rush forward without hesitation.
…
Xu Xiaoyu dawdled slowly in the front yard of Lu's house.
The defense of the Lu family has obviously upgraded.
The guards were patrolling non-stop. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyu had something to confuse the dog's sense of smell, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape once he entered.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Xiaoyu walked into the backyard.
The backyard is the purpose of this trip.
"Those people were so useless, Jia Pingan killed them with ease, and even tracked them down to Jingyang..."
Lu Pingzhang patted the table with a gloomy face, "Those idiots... yeah, didn't they pay you? They even brought Jingyang's dry biscuits."
Sitting opposite is an old man.
He has white hair and a childlike face, smiling very comfortably, "So what if he can find out? Today Yang Deli impeached you in the court, but where is the evidence? The old man tells you, even if the eldest grandson Wuji comes down, as long as we hold each other together, others will remain the same. There is nothing we can do about it!"
The candlelight flickered, and the wind was getting stronger.
Lu Pingzhang got up and walked to the door, glanced at the sky, "It's windy!"
The old man whispered: "You just need to be careful recently, but the old man doesn't agree with your attitude of facing an enemy. The emperor said that Yang Deli has no evidence, but just slander, so what are you worried about?"
Lu Pingzhang stood with his hands behind his back, and it was raining heavily.
He sneered and said: "The emperor has always hated what the old man said back then, and has been hating it until now. Is it okay if the old man doesn't enter the palace? It doesn't seem to work now, but it's just a rumor that moved the emperor's heart, what? Slander is my tempting hand, so what can he do?"
Lu Pingzhang turned around, "If it is possible, the emperor would like to kill the entire Lu family. But he dare not do it. In the past, who dared to do it to the family members?"
The old man shook his head. There was wine on the table. He raised his glass and drank freely.
"The water of the Canglang is clear and can wash my tassels; the water of the Canglang is turbid and can wash my feet..."
Lu Pingzhang made peace with his palms.
Later, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The old man raised his glass, "Drink!"
Lu Pingzhang said with a smile: "Jia Ping'an was praised by the emperor, and he taught the prince new knowledge to provoke anger. He didn't know that this was a dead end, and he just waited for decades, and it would naturally be infamous for thousands of years. But if we set things right, we will surely go down in history, hahahaha!"
Lightning flashed across the sky suddenly.
Just outside the door, a man in black huddled up, only showing a pair of eyes, unless he looked closely, he couldn't find it.
Boom!
Thunder is long overdue!
Xu Xiaoyu left Lu's house without any risk and returned to Daodefang.
He was drenched all over, and sneezed when he entered the house.
"Go take a shower and change clothes first!"
Di Renjie has been waiting.
"Ahh!"
Xu Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Then Lu Pingzhang's home is heavily guarded. He talked to an old man in the study and mentioned this matter. It is definitely him who did it."
Di Renjie forgot to tell him to take a shower and change clothes first, and asked, "Why did you do it?"
Xu Xiaoyu's face was dripping with rain, "It is said that Mr. Lang taught the new learning to the prince, and if there is any trouble in the future, he will simply deal with it...Ah!"
"Hurry up!"
Di Renjie drove him away, and then sent someone to inform Jia Pingan.
"Lu Pingzhang's house is heavily guarded. He attacked you because you taught the prince a new lesson."
Jia Pingan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"They are afraid of this?"
Jia Pingan laughed and said: "This shows that Lu Pingzhang has foresight and knows that once the new students get into the prince's side, sooner or later they will have nothing."
He smiled slightly, and Di Renjie felt proud.
"Your Majesty doesn't like Confucianism, so I let you teach new learning, peace, this is an opportunity!"
Di Renjie felt excited just thinking about it.
"Huaiying, why isn't Xinxue outstanding?"
Jia Pingan said reservedly: "You only see one side, but never the other side. The first emperors didn't like Confucianism, and it's the same today. In their view, Confucianism is useless, but some people want them to like Confucianism. For example, the eldest grandson Wuji waits for others."
Di Renjie frowned.
"You mean...the knowledge of Confucianism is problematic?"
"Of course there are problems."
Jia Ping'an smiled like an old fox, "Huaiying, think about what knowledge is in Confucianism? The Tang Dynasty was determined to forge ahead, from the first emperor to the present Majesty. Confucianism has entered the court and entered the palace at this time. , do you think His Majesty will be happy?"
Di Renjie smiled wryly, "I am an official of the Mingjing Department, do you think this question is suitable for me?"
"No need to worry about this."
Jia Pingan never felt that Confucianism was lagging behind, but that Confucianism was in the wrong place.
"I thought that Confucianism didn't need to be learned too much. But those people always swear that Confucianism is omnipotent and conquers the world. Confucianism...can cure hemorrhoids?"
"Peace, gentleness!" Di Renjie is a student of Confucianism, and he always feels like a pest when he hears such words.
He said seriously: "I also studied hard back then. Not to mention, Confucianism has advantages and disadvantages. I think it is not advisable to belittle Confucianism or exaggerate the benefits of Confucianism. Only let Confucianism stand where it should be. This is the attitude of learning.”
Di Renjie traveled around with his father in the past, so he was well-informed and knowledgeable, which laid a solid foundation for him to become an official.
But his temperament is stubborn, he will take action when he sees injustice, so that he hits a wall everywhere.
"Huaiying, I have always thought that there is no distinction between learning and knowledge, and that it is good for Datang. But I have summed up one point..."
Jia Pingan said: "Whoever says that his theory can win the world is a liar! The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. Whose knowledge can win the world? Let him stand up and I will refute him!"
He said with piercing eyes: "Huaiying, believe it or not, some people will say that Confucianism can conquer the world in retrospect? But I am also prepared, he said, I will spray it! He will feel ashamed if it is not enough. If it is not enough, I will talk to you When they go to the ring, they will live and die!"
Now is the best time for Confucianism to rise from the bottom of the ditch and not rule everything.
But this is also the worst era. The arrogance and fearlessness at the beginning of the founding of the country gradually dissipated.
Two hundred cavalry dared to raid the enemy's tooth tent, one cavalry was worth a thousand, and defeated the Turks.
Will there be more in the future?
have!
But less and less.
Are the enemies getting stronger?
No!
Datang is getting weaker and weaker!
Decades later, Datang has been beaten to shame by Tubo.
Why?
Lack of aggressiveness, and the most important thing is the spirit of the soldiers and civilians.
If you are full of energy, no foreign enemy is enough to be your enemy.
Datang is not afraid of any opponent!
But my heart gradually dissipated in those principles.
"You must learn Confucianism, but don't be addicted to it. Confucianism is a principle. It would be ridiculous to regard Confucianism as the norm of all behaviors in the world."
Di Renjie chuckled, "Ping An, your words are biased. When did Confucianism say that Confucianism is the rule of conduct?"
"Think about respecting Confucianism alone." Jia Pingan said lightly: "Huaiying, it's important to be a person and do things, but you don't need to think about it all your life. Abandon other knowledge and just seek an inexplicable truth. Do you think it's appropriate?"
hehe!
Jia Pingan asked with a smile: "What if there is such a day in the future?"
"Ping An, you are extreme."
Di Renjie shook his head and smiled.
"Confucianism has become prominent again now, if it weren't for those aristocratic families, do you know what the consequences would be?"
The consequence is that Confucianism sweeps everything.
Come on, let's talk about xinxing?
Di Renjie pondered.
Jia Ping'an said indifferently: "If it weren't for the presence of aristocratic families, Confucianism would have been able to enter the house. Then who can stop it? Without those systems, which school of knowledge can stop Confucianism?"
That's why those people are uneasy.
"If the new learning becomes the prominent learning in the future, Huaiying, tell me, what will happen in the future?"
Jia Pingan left the study and took a deep breath.
I don’t know when, the heavy rain has stopped, and there is a vibrant earthy smell in the air, mixed with the smell of those plants.
"If the new learning becomes the prominent learning in the future, those aristocratic families will become vassals, and even become laggards."
Di Renjie's voice was a little uneasy, "Ping An, you... If so, what do you think will happen to this Great Tang? Will Your Majesty rest in peace?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jia Pingan laughed.
"Huaiying, do you think His Majesty hasn't calculated these things? Your Majesty doesn't like Confucianism, but what knowledge can replace it? New learning!"
Jia Ping'an said firmly: "Only by new learning can the Tang Dynasty continue to prosper. Those assassinations, those stalking dogs, are nothing but manipulative arms in my eyes!"
But he knows very well that no knowledge can conquer the world, and the extreme technological development will also bring about huge problems, and these problems need to be answered in other theories.
The West is looking for answers in the Bible.
And in the East, there are many answers.
Confucianism, Taoism…
The ancestors of China left behind an incomparably splendid ideology and culture, which is enough for future generations to learn.
On the second day, Jia Pingan got up as usual.
"Aye!"
Jia Yu was mostly playful last night, so he yawned profusely.
DouDou's big eyes rolled around, and he quietly stretched out his hand...
The boss picked up the salt shaker on the table in a daze and took a bite with chopsticks.
Well!
"Wow!"
"Jia Doudou!"
Jia Ping'an was also angry, "Is there anyone who teases my brother like this?"
DouDou rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, i didn't mean to."
Wei Wushuang was very melancholy, so he hurried to get some water for the boss to rinse his mouth.
Su Ho sullenly asked, "How did you talk to brother?"
Pouting his mouth, he said unconvinced: "Last night, brother asked me to call him in the morning, and he won't be given money if he is not in good spirits. Aniang, do you think the eldest brother is in good spirits now?"
These two brats still bet on it?
Jia Ping'an said with a dark face, "Boss."
Jia Yu, who had just rinsed his mouth, raised his head and asked blankly, "Aye, what are you doing?"
"Why did you stay up late last night?"
Jia Yu said naturally: "I bet with DouDou to see who sleeps later."
"Who's winning?"
Jia Pingan felt that this son was a bit stupid.
Jia Yu proudly said: "I won." He yawned as he spoke.
DouDou snorted, put his hands on his hips, "Brother, I went to bed early last night."
Two kids are arguing and the end result is…
"I thought Doudou could wait..."
Jia Yu was very aggrieved, "I even went to her window to send out secret signals, and she complied!"
The serving swan geese covered their mouths and snickered.
"What do you mean?"
Jia Pingan felt that she was smiling wrongly.
Hongyan took a look at the boss, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "After going to bed last night, the little lady kept talking about the bet with Mr. Xiaolang. When she heard cooing, she had to echo, and the slave echoed."
Jia Yu was filled with grief and indignation, "Jia Doudou, you are lying!"
Doudou said confidently: "I said I lost, what else do you want?"
Jia Pingan also watched the battle from the sidelines, rubbed the tops of the two children's heads, and warned: "Brothers and sisters are not allowed to hold grudges."
Jia Yu snorted coldly, folded his arms around his chest.
Jia Pingan got up, and the two wives sent him to the door. Unfortunately, the good morning kiss was too shocking at this time, so Jia Pingan could only hug quietly.
But hugging is also very shy!
Wei Wushuang's face was wooden, but his face was red.
Su Ho was hugged for a moment, as if hit by a train, he hid behind Wei Wushuang with a swish, showing a surprised face.
"Husband is crazy!"
Jia Pingan didn't expect the effect of the morning hug to be so good, and he couldn't help but feel very happy.
When I arrived at the Ministry of War, I went to give lectures immediately.
Later, Jia Ping'an left the imperial city.
Xu Xiaoyu followed.
Bao Dong and Lei Hong started to guard.
"Mr. Lu, Lu Pingzhang said that the assassination has nothing to do with the Lu family."
Xu Xiaoyu's eyes were full of ridicule.
"He can be shameless, but we want face."
Jia Pingan said like an upright gentleman: "Did the Lu family find out?"
"I found out." Xu Xiaoyu whispered about the Lu family's family business outside, and there are many shops.
While Datang despised businessmen, the rich and powerful were desperately doing business.
"Lang Jun, those people are shameless." Xu Xiaoyu said indignantly: "Our family's business is aboveboard, but they are secretive."
"The one who dislikes the goods is the one who buys the goods." Jia Pingan said something that made the three of them feel brilliant.
"The time has come."
He was blowing the autumn wind, full of vigor.
"Lang Jun, but Lu Pingzhang doesn't go out, so we can't do anything." Xu Xiaoyu went to Lu's house yesterday and knew that his house was tightly guarded.
"Why do you want to go in?"
Jia Pingan stared at a man on the side of the road and nodded slightly.
Later, news came from Dongshi.
"Lang Jun, our shop was smashed up."
Lu Pingzhang sneered: "This is trying to force me to go out, he thinks too much."
The old man sat in the shade, drinking tea from a teapot, sipping tea.
"This tea is really delicious. When I drank the boiled tea, I dared to add any condiments, but in the end I couldn't drink the taste. How about you?"
The old man's eyes were more searching.
Lu Pingzhang said indifferently: "If you smash it, let it go. Our family's business... let him smash it publicly, and secretly... he can't find it."
…
Jia Ping'an is in Dongshi.
"Lang Jun."
Today he got most of the guards out, and went straight to search in Dongshi.
"Get the ledger."
A group of students stood beside Jia Ping'an.
Poof!
The ledger was dropped on the floor, and the students started looking for clues.
"People like Lu Pingzhang's favorite is the Three Caves of the Rabbit. No, he played a trick."
Di Renjie also came. He flipped through the ledger and said casually, "East City's city order sent someone to send a message, at most half a day, and he can only take action if it exceeds half a day."
Jia Pingan, who was standing by the window, said indifferently: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, but I have blocked all the openings, and now I am lighting wolf smoke, if his tricks escape my eyes, then I will die! "
Di Renjie shook his head, put down the ledger, and walked over.
"Peace, you must know His Majesty's temperament..."
Will the emperor fly into a rage?
Then Jia Ping'an was taken down.
Jia Pingan shook his head, "I'm not worried about that."
Mathematics students are scratching the books and making records from time to time.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
"explain."
A student finished flipping through his account book, and said confidently: "The three shops in West Market are all owned by the Lu family."
Another student also finished flipping through the ledger, "Sijia, West City."
"West City Five."
Jia Ping'an turned around slowly.
"Three caves for the cunning rabbit? Yeah, give him a clean sweep!"
…
Good night!
