    Liu Yi shook his head first, and then read out the original text of Zi Lu Wenqiang.

    Then he began to express his own opinions, saying: "Zilu asked Confucius what is strong. The sage's answer was incisive. The so-called strong can be divided into north and south. I educate people with a tolerant and gentle spirit. I won't be rude to others.  Revenge, this is the strength of the South, and people with high moral character have this strength.

    "And if you use weapons, armor, and shields as a pillow and die, this is the strength of the north, and the brave and aggressive people have this kind of strength.  Therefore, a person with high moral character is really strong if he is accommodating and does not follow the crowd.  Stay neutral and unbiased, this is really strong!  When the country is politically stable and does not change its aspirations, this is how strong it is!  When the country's politics is dark, you insist on integrity and would rather die than change. This is how strong you are!  "

    When Liu Yi said this, many people nodded secretly.

    Yes, it is already obvious which one is stronger, the South or the North.

    The strength of the North is just that of being brave and aggressive. Is such strength really strong?  No, this is wrong. A truly strong man should have noble moral character, be fair and just, and stick to his beliefs. Only such people are the strong men respected by saints.

    Liu Yi said: "Just like today's world, the Hu people have always been tyrannical and brave, and the land of kings in the pass is far inferior to the Hu people. But in our Ming Dynasty, the righteous people use loyalty as their armor, and etiquette and justice as their oars.  , act with benevolence, and act with righteousness. No matter how strong the barbarians are, the Han will not change their place."

    All the Hanlin officials nodded.

    Yes, the strength of the Hu people is only temporary, but I, the Ming Dynasty, am strong in loyalty, propriety, etiquette, and justice. This saint said that strength is strong even if the Hu people are rampant for a while, but loyalty, propriety, etiquette, and justice are still spread, right?  What does this mean?

    Emperor Hongzhi listened and nodded secretly.

    He agrees with this. After all, he has been taught by Confucianism since he was a child, and these four words of loyalty, trust, etiquette, and justice have long been engraved in his bones.

    Liu Yi said: "Now that the Tatars are attacking Datong, Datong is in danger. Your Majesty must be worried, but there is no need to worry too much. Even if the Hulu enter the pass, it will only be the end of their strong crossbows. When the time comes, your Majesty will issue an edict to King Qin, and the troops of the world will surely gather in Yan."  "Yun, these are all loyal and righteous people, and the Tatars are not a threat."

    Many Hanlin still nodded and thought it made sense.

    But Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

    Logically speaking, the strength between the north and the south just now makes sense.

    But Liu Yi applied this theory to the current practical problems. As the emperor, Emperor Hongzhi was not a fool. If the armor of loyalty and the oars of etiquette were so useful, why did the Yuan Dynasty destroy the Song Dynasty in the first place?  How could people defeat hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Tumubao and even capture the late Emperor Yingzong?

    The situation in Datong is not optimistic. It is really inappropriate to talk about this blindly at this time.

    Emperor Hongzhi was worried, but with a smile on his face: "There are things about Liu Qing's family that make sense"

    some places¡­¡­

    Liu Yi blushed and chewed these words carefully. On the other hand, isn't there something that doesn't make sense?

    "Your Majestythis is scolding, but even though it is scolding, it still saves Liu Yi some face.  Liu Yi's old face turned red with embarrassment: "I don't know where there are any mistakes or omissions in what I just said. Your Majesty is wise and sees everything clearly. Please correct me."

    He is serious.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Some places are reasonable, we just destroy the sign, so Liu Yi is a little unconvinced.

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "The words of the sage are very reasonable, but the actual situation cannot be generalized. The war in Datong is a big event. There are 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Datong Pass. Once the city is broken, life will be ruined. The Tatars  Once the Datong Pass is broken, the land of Yanyun in Hebei will no longer be safe, and countless people will fall into the tiger's mouth. I also hope that they can be useful for the armor of loyalty and the oars of etiquette, but I think that we need more soldiers.  Use your life."

    Liu Yi wanted to say something, but then he lost his temper: "Yes, your Majesty's words are reasonable, but Your Majesty, governing a country depends on cultivating virtues, not"

    Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands, as if he didn¡¯t want to argue with him anymore: ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Liu Qing¡¯s family.¡±

    Liu Yi had no choice but to prostrate himself, nodded, and returned to the class obediently.

    Emperor Hongzhi was not in the mood at all at this time and wanted to get up: "Do you have any other teachings?"

    Shen Wen then looked at all the Hanlin officials.

    He is actually the most difficult person to become a Hanlin bachelor, because the Hanlin Academy, like the Imperial Academy, has many thorns and is difficult to restrain and discipline.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­It seemed to make some sense, but now it sounds really ironic.

    Zhu Houzhao said: "No, to defend against the Tatars, we need flying balls."

    "Flying flying ball"

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    ??When people talk about cultivating virtue, what they are cultivating is the virtue of Confucius and Saints.

    "But His Highness the Prince actually said that it is not necessary to cultivate virtue, not to be a saint, but to fly This is this ridiculous?"

    Yang Ting was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: "Your Highness, where did you hear these rumors? Flying balls are nothing."

    Zhu Houzhao shouted: "The flying ball has saved you guys from sitting here and talking!" He took out the note from his sleeve: "An urgent report came from Datong. The flying ball team raided the Tatar camp outside the city. A great victory!"

    Great victory

    All of a sudden, the Chongwen Hall became quiet.

    Datong actually achieved a great victory.

    Yang Tinghe¡¯s face turned pale. He suddenly understood why His Highness the Crown Prince was so confident today.

    He didn¡¯t believe it. The Tatar cavalry was just outside Datong City. Even if it was a great victory, it couldn¡¯t be possible in just a few days This is incredible.

    Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened, and the word "great victory" seemed to resonate with his heart. Just now, he was still watching the quarrel between them silently, but now, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't sit still: "Where is the victory report?  Show me!"

    Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate and presented the note himself.

    But in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, these six words came clearly into view: "Fortunately, it is a great victory!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The fifth update will be delivered on the 85th day.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
