Chapter 274: Li Chengqian's Confusion
"I said brother, this thing is not authentic! Knowing that our uncle and nephew are coming, you eat the meat first. After all, it was done under your command, and we admit it. But there is not even soup, which is excessive. Our uncle and nephew came all the way from Guanzhong, so we have to get some back! Looking at the list of seizures reported by Yun Hao, Li Daoyan's nose was crooked.
Li Chengqian also nodded his little head next to him, he has now moved to the Prince's East Palace. The cost of eating and chewing is not small, and the role of money is already known at a young age. But his salary is only 20,000 per year, and there are more than 2,000 people in the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Tang Crown Prince was surprised to find that he was actually a poor ghost.
This time I came to Jiangnan, in addition to seeing the battlefield. What Li Chengqian wanted most was to make a fortune with the Duke of Chu Guo, the current Tao Zhu Gong, and try to save the poor financial situation of the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Prince, who always lets his subordinates eat Kang Yu's dishes, makes people laugh.
"There are some seizures, but they are all soldiers who fought with their lives. These thirty percent are for His Majesty, and the remaining thirty percent are distributed to the soldiers. If you come out with me, you have to bring some money back to support your family. You are also the Tang Dynasty nobles, do you still have to compete with the soldiers for these fighting money? Yun Hao's expression was vicious, and his tone was stiff. Li Daoyan can't wait to rush up and punch this guy! This thing eats alone, and I never know how to change it.
"Fight for money? You also have to say, you look at the list of the dead that you have reported. Three people, and two others died of illness. The other one fell into the water and drowned! Tell me how you fought this battle. There were 100,000 traitors, and he only lost three people. If I really believe you, I will be at fault every year. Li Daoyan was so angry that his head was smoking, he had seen it shamelessly, but he had never seen such a shameless person.
Who has seen a battle of 100,000 beheaded, and only three people have died. Could it be that your subordinates are all legendary Dharma Protector King Kong, how can you not be killed?
"The money has already been distributed, or you can discuss it with the officers and soldiers and see if you can spit it out." Yun Hao spread his hands, and his scoundrel appearance made Li Daoyan and Li Chengqian's uncles and nephews itch with hatred.
It's easy to send money, but it's hard to get them to spit it out again. If this is really done, the reputation of the prince and the king of Jiaodong will be ruined. At this time, there must be a strong incitement, maybe he can start a mutiny. It's not something they can handle. Now it seems that Yun Hao is that extremely inflammatory figure. He had prestige, he had the ability, and most importantly he paid those who were soldiers.
"Good! The remaining water bandits will be exterminated by the prince's sixth rate. The proceeds naturally belong to the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "Li Daoyan has long known Yun Hao's Pixiu temperament, and it is strange that the meat can be pulled out when it reaches the wolf's mouth.
"No problem! I'll give you the rest of the bandits, and I'll give you an elite army. Rest assured, they don't participate in splitting the money. All they need is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give them ......! I said, after becoming a prince, you are much more treacherous. From the beginning, you were the right person to fight these bandits. Talking to me about the seizure is just thinking that I have already rejected you once, and I am embarrassed to refuse you a second time. Yun Hao suddenly reacted, Li Daoyan has learned badly.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! It is said that the Duke of Chu is like a ghost, and now it seems that he is really right. Why, you won't break your word! We have come from afar, you can't let us go back empty-handed, can you? Li Daoyan said with a smile, his cheap appearance was very similar to Yun Hao.
Li Chengqian was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop, and the two super nobles of the Tang Dynasty were no different from the pawns of the market peddlers when they bargained together.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was an emperor in the West who once said. The reason for starting a war is only money, money, money! A war that is not for the sake of profit is doomed to failure. Ideals and beliefs are only high-sounding reasons, and there is no morality or anything good between the two opposing sides.
This is especially true between countries, where nothing will be a problem except for naked interests. The so-called conflicts between countries are no different from the quarrels of old farmers in the countryside. This is a winner-takes-all era, you are the crown prince, and you will take the Tang people to fight for more benefits in the future. Don't learn any benevolence, righteousness and morality from those rotten Confucians, that's just asking others. The saber in the hand at any time is more effective than the preaching on the lips.
If you look at those lake bandits, it's useless to talk to them, and they'll know that it hurts when the knife hits them. will surrender and reveal all that is to himself. Looking at the stunned Li Chengqian, Yun Hao decided to preach. Li Er wrote to say that this kid was deeply corrupted by Kong Yingda's people.
How can a person who talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long lead a wolf-like nation to gain a place in the forest of nations in the world? For the future of Datang, Li Chengqian must become a wolf, the most vicious wolf who can tear everything.
"But the master said that the words of a saint can punish the heart, and are better than all swords." Li Chengqian's face was flushed, arguing, Yun Hao's words were too subversive. The young Li Chengqian couldn't accept such shocking language for a while.
"Alright! There are some bandits in this lake who do not listen to the teachings, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can use the words of the saints to influence them. Let them take the initiative to give their wealth, and then consciously become a prisoner of the ranks, this father will be admired. Half of those seizures will also be given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how? Yun Hao smiled and stretched out his palm.
Although swearing doesn't hurt, the high-five covenant is still valid in this era. Because one represents Chu Guogong, the head of the Yun family, and the other represents Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Identity doesn't allow them to miss their appointments! If you do that, you will be poked in the backbone by the entire Chang'an people, and you really can't afford to lose that person!
Li Chengqian looked at Li Daoyan and saw Li Daoyan's encouraging eyes. Immediately stretched out his little hand and slapped it on Yun Hao's palm. In addition to his trust in Kong Yingda, half of the wealth also played a role in fueling the fire.
"That's it! Your Royal Highness the Prince, I wish you success. Yun Hao smiled and encouraged.
"Lone will definitely succeed!" Li Chengqian looked determined to win, and arranged for his subordinates to go.
"Are you sure this will work? What if someone does convince the bandits? In the past two years, His Majesty has stuffed people into the East Palace for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince. The top student who graduated from your academy, Du Heke is in it. Li Daoyan said with some concern.
"The academy now teaches more skills, whether it is physics, arithmetic, or chemistry. In fact, they are all in the category of skills, and it can also be said that the academy has cultivated a group of super-first-class craftsmen for Datang. But these people have a fatal weakness, that is, their grasp of people's hearts is far from sufficient. This may be the lost mulberry! Fish, I want too; Bear's paws, as well as I want. You can't have it both ways! Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, perfect things don't actually appear in this world.
"What if there are one or two freaks? There are a lot of freaks in your academy, and I heard that there is a young Li Yifu who is very outstanding. Li Daoyan asked curiously.
"There will be one or two amazing talents, but they are rare species. It is impossible for all freaks in this world to be ordinary people. Even those who are good people have to go through years of training before they can become talents that can be of great use. Sometimes the young man is too amazing and brilliant, which may ruin him. When you hit your head with a bag, you will know what it feels like to hit the south wall.
You go and talk to Du He, otherwise it will be bad for the young man to go to the lake to persuade the lake bandits on the spur of the moment. was sent back by a large number of pieces, how to explain to Du Xiangke. Yun Hao woke up the dreamer with a word, and Li Daoyan immediately rushed out like a rabbit with an arrow. Du He is Du Ruhui's son, if the water bandits are cut down, the feud between the two families will be great.
Du Ruhui is now in charge of the Ministry of War and the Zhongshu Province, although a word cannot change the color of heaven and earth. But it's not a problem to rectify a prince openly and secretly, and such an enemy can't afford to offend.
Yun Hao smiled and walked back to the back hall, and Xin'er and the Li family came together. If you don't touch a woman for many days, your lower abdomen is already on fire, and you need to discharge the flood.
Li Chengqian was very excited to organize a group of famous lobbyists, all of whom were Kong Yingda's disciples and grandchildren. Their common trait is that they are young, have an extremely developed saliva system, and are good at arguing and debating. It is said that several of them are famous debaters in Chang'an City. Thankfully, Duhe didn't show up in the team.
Yun Hao was very supportive of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions and ordered Wang Zhe to fully support him not to hide his secrets. Although he is not very optimistic about the fate of these people, it is still necessary to befriend His Royal Highness the Tang Prince. After Wang Zhe did his best, he finally sent a group of ten of them into the vast Dongting Lake.
Facts have proved that the lake bandits in Dongting Lake did not make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait for a long time. Just two days later, ten shattered corpses appeared in front of Li Chengqian's eyes. With the exception of ten heads, the bodies of these debaters were horrible. I couldn't tell who was who, so I could only pile them together and burn them, and then put them in the ashes jar, ready to take them back to Chang'an for their families. I don't know if Kong Yingda will faint when he sees these ashes. This is the most outstanding young man in his Hongwen Pavilion!
The young Li Chengqian was greatly hit, these are all noble people who have read poetry and books, and now the end is like this. Is it really like Yun Hao said, people are born evil? But in his three-character scripture, it is said that the original heart of a person is good! It's so contradictory!
Li Chengqian sat alone at the water's edge, looking at the water in a daze without eating or drinking. From time to time, I also threw stones into the water, and the lonely appearance made people feel a little distressed.
Yun Hao sat down beside Li Chengqian and handed Li Chengqian a stone. Li Chengqian immediately threw it out, and a splash rippled on the water.
"I don't understand why you're losing?"
"They are all first-class debaters, why did they end up like this. The Master said that all human beings are human and moral, but they were chopped up like that. Li Chengqian's little eyes were red, and he didn't seem to be lightly entangled.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Friendship only exists between acquaintances. And it is very unreliable, and many affectionate and righteous people are unreliable in the face of interests. ”
"But Master told me about so many ancient sages, Yang Jiaoai and Zuo Botao, Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya, Zheng Shaogu and Wang Ziheng, Lu Su and Zhou Yu. Not to mention, the Zhao orphans! These are ancient ......! ”
Yun Hao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, this is also called the ancient sages? Several of them are well-known suspected homosexuals, and Kong Yingda told underage children about this. Li Er didn't dismantle him in eight pieces, which was already the performance of a generation of saints.
"These stories are famous because there are so few of them. Everyone has a beautiful yearning in their hearts, but in real life, few people can withstand the temptation of monetary benefits. Yao Shun has been going on for thousands of years now, and this kind of thing is too numerous to mention. It happens almost all the time around us, so this kind of thing is the norm. The stories you are talking about are exceptional!
If you use special cases to speculate on common sense, you will naturally fail. You take those people as an example, you expect them to be able to convince those water bandits who kill people without blinking an eye with their incorruptible tongues? Their money is obtained by killing people and extorting goods. Do you expect them to surrender if they are not intimidated?
Of course, I'm not saying that all nations don't need to be edified. The law is the basic standard of the mouth of this world, so we have to obey it and let others obey it. For those who do not comply, only a knife can be taken and their heads chopped off. As long as some are killed, others know that this kind of thing is going to lose their heads, and naturally there will not be so many people who will commit it again. This is the reason why your father and emperor have to execute so many criminals every autumn.
But morality doesn't solve all problems, so we made laws. What your father did was to uphold the dignity of the law, so that those who wanted to commit crimes would see the end of their crimes and not dare to commit crimes in the future.
The same is true of the water bandits, who kill people and destroy the people. You're going to bring them to justice and cut off their heads. In this way, there will not be more people to become water bandits. This Jiangnan will be peaceful!
You are the prince of the Tang Empire, and you will also be the defender of this law in the future. Only by abiding by this rule will there be order in the world and a peaceful world. The world of your Li family will continue from generation to generation. "Tell Li Er that if you put your rights in the cage of the system, you will be beheaded by the vicious Li Er.
The young man in front of him was still an object that could be saved, and Yun Hao decided to subtly promote the concept of the legal system to him. When the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, there will be more rules in the world.
"You mean, only kill them. Only then will Jiangnan be peaceful, and the people will live a good life. Killing people is actually saving people? Li Chengqian said with a glare.
