Pei Ju laughed disdainfully: "Orthodox? Hehe, what is orthodox? What is evil? I think that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many scholars emerged and hundreds of schools of thought contend. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, was just a poor scholar who was unsuccessful in his life. If his doctrine was really that good, why would all the monarchs of all countries not use it? And the rest of the countries adopted various doctrines such as military corpses, Mohists, straitors, and merchants to govern the country, and there were many people who became kings and dominated the country for a while. It can be seen that all the scholars and hundreds of scholars were able to achieve great success.

There are both advantages to families. Only later, in order to cater to Emperor Wu of Han, Dong Zhongshu suggested respecting Confucianism alone. Over time, Confucianism became the orthodox in the eyes of ordinary people, and other schools became heresy. It can be seen that after all, the difference between good and evil in this Lao Shizi was entirely due to the emperor's preferences. Whoever the emperor likes is orthodox; what the emperor hates is then the evil one."

Yang Zhao was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Pei was born in a famous family in Hedong. Wenxi, the Pei family has been a Confucian family since the Han Dynasty, and has passed on the family through poetry and books. Why does Master Pei seem to hate Confucianism this way?"

Pei Ju shook his head and said, "The lower officials do not hate Confucianism deeply. In fact, the lower officials just think that if they are generalized and respect their family, there will inevitably be various disadvantages. Over time, this move will inevitably cause China to sink and depress, and finally end up in the most uncontrollable situation."

Yang Zhao was shocked and laughed, saying, "Mr. Pei said it too much... In fact, since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, I have not only respected Confucianism, but also respected Buddhism and Taoism, and used the study of Buddhism and Taoism to make up for the shortcomings of Confucianism. It may not be as bad as Master Pei said, right?"

Pei Ju asked coldly: "Does Your Highness think this is a good thing? You are very wrong. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism have gradually combined with Confucianism. Because they have their own connections and borrowing, they can gain new footholds and vitality and become prosperous. But in this way, they have occupied the so-called orthodox status, and have even more derogatory to the "demons" and suppressed them. These so-called heretics have no room for reversal. However, Confucianism focuses on morality, Buddhism fully talks about liberation of the original mind and ignores external affairs. Taoism only thinks about ascending in the daytime and delusions to immortality. The combination of the three is not only meaningless to reality, but in the end they will only make it mysterious and become exaggerated and empty talk, but they do not pay attention to reality. Just imagine if everyone in the court officials are like this, how can the world be well governed?"

Yang Zhao fell silent, as if he was thinking quietly. After a long time, he finally shook his head slowly and said, "Mr. Pei, if you follow your words, then Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are not worthy of it. But... I really don't understand. Doesn't Master Pei know that I am a Buddhist disciple? Are you afraid that I will feel unhappy in my heart when you slander Buddhism like this?"

Pei Ju laughed and said, "Music disciple? Haha, with your highness's wisdom, can you still see clearly what the Buddhist is like in the Pure Land Buddhism? In fact, except for the Pure Land Buddhism, the Three Treatises, Huayan, Tiantai, Zen and other major sects, can anyone recognize the Pure Land Buddhism? This is just like Zhu Faqing's "Maitreya" that year, establishing the Maitreya Sect, is just heretics in Buddhism. The only difference is that the Maitreya Sect that was killed by the hero Yan Fei. But today, there is no other master in the Buddhist sect who can defeat Master Mahaye, so the evil saying actually suppressed the orthodox."

Yang Zhao asked lightly: "So, how do Lord Pei view the family teacher? If the orthodox evil way of the family teacher is the country in the future, will Lord Pei think that it can break the monopoly between Confucianism and orthodox Buddhism and Taoism?"

Pei Ju shook his head and said, "The orthodox position of Confucianism has been around for nearly a thousand years since Emperor Wu of Han, and its power is deeply rooted and difficult to shake. Even if the leader of Maha has the ability to understand the sky and the earth, it will be difficult to break his monopoly position in just one or two generations. This is like Cao Wei in the past. Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao himself knew and knew the importance of destroying the great Confucian family. Therefore, he only wanted to seek talent, and believed that those with virtue may not be talented, breaking the Confucian standard of the recruitment system of the Han Dynasty. However, after Cao Cao's death, Sima Yi, a descendant of the Cao family, took advantage of the weak descendants of the Cao family.

The weak and incompetent, the imperial power of the Cao family was taken away, and the prosperity of the Confucian high clan was restored. The more Cao Cao spared no effort to attack the high clan, the more Sima Yi's usurpation of Wei could be supported by the high clan. The situation today is the same. Moreover, the longer the Jile Lord is in power, it may not become another Confucianism, and it will still suppress other theories. So, what changes will happen to the world? So in the final analysis, if you govern the country, you cannot use only one academic. Multiple theories must compete with each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, so that the country can truly achieve prosperity."

Yang Zhao sighed a long sigh and said sincerely: "Mr. Pei's words are truly insightful, and I have benefited a lot. But... after all, you and I are just the first meeting today, so Lord Pei is so heart-to-heart. Don't you think it's too abrupt?"

Pei Ju smiled casually and said, "If you look at those who stick to the rules and hold on to the incomplete rules, it is indeed abrupt. However, our extraordinary people should do whatever they want, how can they be restricted by secular etiquette?" After a pause, he sighed, "I have reached the top for twenty years and are now old. To put it bluntly, I am afraid there will be no more time. Although the prince is wise, he has major flaws in his personality. He is a entrepreneurship master, but he is not suitable to be a master of success, and he cannot connect the past and open up a new situation with the past and the future.

As the eldest son of the prince, His Highness, after the two major events of New Year's Eve and the New Year's banquet and the two major events of leading troops to quell the rebellion in Sichuan, His reputation grew, and his authority gradually became established, and his reserve was basically no one to shake. Although he was an authentic disciple of the Pure Land, his daily actions were very different from the Pure Land's arrogance and indulgence. Although the officials did not have the ability to know in advance, they could also assert that the hope of the Sui Dynasty in the future should be placed on His Highness. Therefore, for the sake of our Sui Dynasty for thousands of years, the officials did not take the liberty and told His Highness bluntly."

Yang Zhao nodded slowly and said, "So that's it." He paused and said, "Just Pei just said that since Dong Zhongshu presented the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" to Emperor Wu of Han, advocating the eradication of hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, Confucianism has become the mainstream orthodox idea, while other schools of thought have become strangers. I have also heard about this in the past. It is said that in the world, some people call these heretic factions a unified call to the Demon Sect. It is parallel with Buddha and Taoism, and the two sides have formed a confrontational situation of irreconcilability. Since the Han Dynasty, this confrontation has lasted for hundreds of years and has not yet stopped. In the past, I was still skeptical about this matter, but today I have had a long talk with Lord Pei, but I have really experienced it. Demon Sect..."
