Hearing Chu Suiliang's doubts, Kong Yingda smiled faintly, and then said: "Dengshan, do you think that the old man's actions are to support those generals in the army to start a war?" ”

Chu Suiliang was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Sui Liang doesn't know, so he specially came here to ask Confucius for advice, Confucius Master, you do this, do not debate with him, but silently, invisibly, the court is full of fighting spirit, and the situation is critical!" ”

Kong Yingda shook his head and smiled: "Dengshan, you still haven't seen through, you are still younger after all, the old man's move is not to support the generals in the army to start a war, indeed, the ancestor of the military family said that the soldier is the important weapon of the country, and he should be treated with caution, but the soldier is the one who has to exist, if there is no soldier, how to resist humiliation?"

The old man's move is not to support the war, the old man and you have come together since the troubled times of the former Sui Dynasty, in the past few years, I have seen the suffering of the world, seen the fire of war, opposed to the war, that is, against the war raging on the people, every war, always accompanied by a large number of sons and daughters killed in battle, broken families, white-haired people send black-haired people, how miserable! But this time, the old man really didn't think that this move was a fallacy. ”

Chu Suiliang was shocked: "Why did Master Confucius say this? ”

Kong Yingda put down the pen and said with a serious face: "Dengshan, old man, ask you, why did I oppose the war in the court before?" ”

Chu Suiliang replied: "The war is together, the people are suffering, their wives are separated, their families are ruined, and there is a tragedy in the world!" The war will also have an impact on the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, after the rebellion of the former Sui, the people urgently need to recuperate, not the war! Datang can't bear so many wars, the people can't bear so many wars, money, food, what is Datang not lacking? The treasury is empty, how can Datang afford it? ”

Kong Yingda nodded: "The old man also thinks the same way, the generals in the army all say that we are corrupt, do not understand military affairs, despise military generals, and are weak and incompetent; In fact, if a foreign enemy comes to attack, the old man will definitely support the imperial court to start a war to prevent humiliation, and the dignity of the Celestial Empire cannot be violated! But if you take the initiative to provoke a war, it is an unkind move, and if the war ends together, how can you withstand the gold ten thousand taels? Just a Turkic war, the money and food accumulated by the court for more than ten years have been exhausted, and the wives and families are broken and the dead are unknown, how can the old man see it? How can you watch those generals lead Tang Erlang to death?

However, Dengshan, if the war can bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, how should we treat it? Just like the labor reform, the old man saw with his own eyes that after the implementation of the labor reform, all the people were inspired, and they all said that the court was benevolent and righteous, bixia benevolent and righteous, and treated the people well, and the people all over the world supported it, how can we oppose it?

This is one, two, what has the labor reform brought to the Tang Dynasty, have you ever understood? Do you understand why the five Shangshu are fighting for Turkic labor? The rebellion of the former Sui, the population decreased sharply, the Tang Dynasty lacked labor, and many things could not be done.

At this time, the labor reform policy was promulgated, and more than 50,000 Turkic laborers replaced the people of Datang to do things for Datang, and more than 50,000 people made Datang exempt 100,000 Zhuang men from forced labor this year, which is benevolent and benevolent! What we are worried about is whether this move is unkind to foreigners, however, the old man thinks that we are Han people, and the Tang Dynasty is also a Han dynasty, and those we should think about are the people of the Tang Dynasty, not foreigners!

In the book of the sages, the old man only saw that the heart of the non-my race must be different, which is to repay grievances with virtue, and it is also a move to take righteousness out of context, and these Turkic laborers also bring good news to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty support, how can we go against the current? On the surface, the controversy in the court is a struggle between war and non-war, but in fact, it is a dispute between the promotion and abolition of the labor reform policy!

Dengshan, this controversy will inevitably end with the victory of the promoters, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and this move has won the hearts of the people of the world. Against the people, that is the way to death, the lessons of the former Sui are vivid, Dengshan, you are still suspicious? ! ”

Kong Yingda sprinkled hundreds of words, zuihou a stern rhetorical question, Chu Suiliang said in a cold sweat, all the previous doubts were swept away, replaced by a complete understanding, just like Daigo empowerment, Chu Suiliang wiped a handful of sweat beads oozing from his forehead, quickly got up, and came to Kong Yingda is bow to the ground: "The words of Master Confucius, such as Daigo empowerment, Suiliang is not knowledgeable, I don't know why, that's why I have this question, and I hope Master Confucius understands!" ”

Kong Yingda stood up with a gentle smile, came to Chu Suiliang, who fell to the ground, and bent down to help Chu Suiliang up: "This matter is not your fault, if it was in the past, the old man would have made this mistake, and now he can see through all this, how fortunate it is!" Between the words, Kong Yingda faintly remembered the young face who was sometimes serious and sometimes cynical......

Chu Suiliang stood up, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, Master Confucius solved Suiliang's doubts, otherwise wouldn't Suiliang make a big mistake?" Thank you Confucius for your doubts! ”

Kong Yingda shook his head and smiled: "Dengshan, you have excellent qualifications, you have been reading poetry and books since childhood, and you are knowledgeable, but as that kid said, if you just die reading, you can only read as a nerd, it is not beneficial to the country, the people or the family, it is just a waste of money and food, move more in the future, see more, think more, learning is not only about reading, but also about thinking." ”

Chu Suiliang frowned, then let go, and bowed again: "Thank you for the teachings of Master Confucius!" Just, that kid? Who is it? ”

Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh! Haha! Well, this is not in a hurry, Dengshan, you love calligraphy, you are under the guidance of Yu Shinan Ouyang Xun, and he was also a great calligrapher at that time. ”

Chu Suiliang is a famous calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, and Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, and Xue Ji are known as the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty". Its characteristics are good at Yu, European penmanship into one, both square and round, stretch freely, "Tang Dynasty Book Review" Chu Suiliang's word praised as "the word in the gold, between the lines of the jade run, the law is gentle, beautiful and multi-faceted", the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu also praised him as "nine ten thousand dances, cranes and herons fill the court, Qiang Yu Ming, slender fit".

And the reason why Chu Suiliang can have a very good relationship with Li Erbixia monarchs and ministers, and become a minister in the future, calligraphy also has a great advantage, Li Erbixia loves calligraphy, and Chu Suiliang is a very haode pen pal, Xiaoniao Yiren, which was later described as a woman's gentle and tender words, the original source is actually Li Erbixia to describe his love for Chu Suiliang......

So as soon as Chu Suiliang heard that Kong Yingda had a word to taste for himself, he knew that Kong Yingda must have gotten some good words, Kong Yingda's achievements in calligraphy are not as good as Chu Suiliang, but he is also the world, and he can enter Kong Yingda's eyes, Chu Suiliang is still quite interested, so he took a piece of rice paper handed by Kong Yingda and looked at it.

"Elements of Pinyin Pronunciation...... Well? After reading a few words, Chu Suiliang suddenly couldn't read it, he didn't care what this character was talking about, he cared about the penmanship of this character, this is regular script? Yes, it's regular script, it's definitely regular script, but why haven't I heard of this law? Seen before? What kind of brushwork is this? Why is it so righteous and awe-inspiring?

After thinking for a long time, Chu Suiliang could only come up with such a word to describe this kind of brushwork, in a trance, Chu Suiliang saw a person, that person had a strong face, his hands were tied, facing the raging fire, the enemy soldiers behind him were heavy, and he was decisively dead in front of him, his eyes flashed a trace of firmness and determination, and after looking up to the sky and howling, he resolutely threw himself into the raging fire without a trace of hesitation......

Suddenly there was a cold war, the illusion in front of Chu Suiliang disappeared, only this word remained, the more he looked, the more Chu Suiliang felt that it was difficult to extricate himself, this word, this kind of penmanship, this font, it was too attractive, righteous and awe-inspiring, just and upright, the literati festival at a glance, this is real calligraphy, this is real calligraphy!

After looking at it again, Chu Suiliang felt that this character was a little familiar, and frowned and thought about it carefully, yes! bixia！ Bixia's instructions on the fold in recent days, the font is very different from that used by Bixia in the past, and it looks quite immature, although there is a bit of artistic conception, but it looks a little naïve, and there is a feeling of four dislikes, which makes Chu Suiliang very puzzled, but these days he has been worried about the war, and he has no time to pay attention to these, but once this heart disease disappears, Chu Suiliang began to pay attention to this problem......

The more he looked at this calligraphy, the more Chu Suiliang felt unable to extricate himself, involuntarily, Chu Suiliang stretched out his fingers and scratched on the paper, if there was no one around, Kong Yingda disagreed, smiled lightly, when he first saw the kid's calligraphy, he was no better than Chu Suiliang, Chu Suiliang loved books and became obsessed, calligraphy is much more proficient than himself, so he can be among the calligraphy masters at the age of only thirty, if this kid's calligraphy is praised by Chu Suiliang, it is much better than a halfway monk like himself, boy, I can only help you get here, I can't control those people......

I don't know how long it took, Chu Suiliang withdrew his consciousness from this word, love books and become obsessed with books is not a joke, if you get a wonderful word, it is not difficult to know the taste of meat in March, especially the font of this word, it is unheard of, unseen, his calligraphy compared to this calligraphy, a little less firm belief, a little less righteousness, but a little more Chu Suiliang has not been very fond of the golden and jade gas, in the final analysis, Chu Suiliang is still affected too much by the gold powder of the Southern Dynasty.

"Master Confucius, who is this painting from?" Chu Suiliang asked eagerly, this character must be from the hands of a peerless master, this master must be a very temperamental, not for the five buckets of rice to bend the waist, only such a temperament, in order to add a soul to calligraphy, the soul of calligraphy, is the soul of the calligrapher, only more soul, calligraphy is calligraphy, this soul will be passed on forever with calligraphy!

Kong Yingda smiled slightly: "You have seen that person." ”

Chu Suiliang was stunned, have you seen it? Is it Yu Shinan, Yu Shi or Ouyang Xun Ouyang Shi? Or Xue Ji? In today's Tang Dynasty literary circle, there are only three people who can compare with themselves and surpass themselves, in addition, Chu Suiliang really can't think of others, is it that one of the three of them has made a new breakthrough in calligraphy? "Isn't it Master Yu? Ouyang Shi? Or Xue Ji? Chu Suiliang asked eagerly.

Kong Yingda shook his head and said with a smile: "Neither." ”

Chu Suiliang frowned and bowed: "Master Confucius, Sui Liang loves books and becomes an idiot, and he can't be impatient!" I hope that Confucius will tell him clearly! Sui Liang is grateful! ”

Kong Yingda nodded with satisfaction and said: "This person, surnamed Su, named Ning, and the word Sanming, is now the county uncle of Sanyuan. ”

It's him?!

Chu Suiliang's face was full of shock......
