Xiao Tong clasped his fists and said, "The king's decision is extremely wise! It's just that since Emperor Wu of Han respects Confucianism, all dynasties have valued Confucianism, which makes sense!..."

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "What's the reason?"

"The Confucian theory focuses on teaching people to regulate morality with the principle of rules and regulations, which is beneficial for regulating social order and making the officials, people and the people all over the world loyal to orthodoxy. If the status of Confucian theory is weakened, officials will only worry that the officials, people and even the army will not be able to do so.

Yes, will you keep causing trouble without obeying the rules?”

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "The status of Confucianism in the Sui Dynasty was unmatched, but what was the result? It wasn't the second generation that the world turned against each other? Whether it was against the contrary had nothing to do with how you educated them. If you let the people live

If you can't go on, no one will listen to Confucianism's preaching. What should be rebelled must be rebelled! The loyalty of the people does not depend on whether they adopted Confucianism! The powerful Qin Dynasty, after hundreds of years of unremitting struggle, can be said that almost all officials, people and the people are united in the King of Qin.

Around him, he fought for the Qin King, and finally wiped out the world and established an unprecedented empire! This is a miracle created by the Legalists and military strategists! With such a high degree of loyalty and unity, why can't Confucianism be seen again after its prevalence?" Xiao Tong was stunned.

Can't speak.

Zhang Lang looked thoughtful and said, "I see that the reason why the kings of all dynasties adopted Confucianism is to put it bluntly because they were extremely selfish and wanted their family to occupy the world forever, so they thought that Confucian education was the one who was Confucian.

An unconditional loyalty to the emperor can become the most advantageous tool for them to achieve this goal! However, ironically, under the influence of Confucian education, almost all the successors of the dynasty were waste, and each generation was worse than the other. The result was not only

Failed to let his family dominate the world forever, they were all their own waste descendants who destroyed the country that their predecessors had worked hard to build!" Xiao Tong thought for a moment, and couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "What the king said is so true!"

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Is there no problem?" Xiao Tong said ashamedly: "No problem." At this time, Xiao Tong suddenly saw Qin Qing, who was not as beautiful as a human, coming in, and couldn't help but be stunned and return

He came to his senses, quickly lowered his head, clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "If the king had no other orders, the emperor would take his leave!" Zhang Lang nodded, and Xiao Tong bowed and retreated. When he passed by Qin Qing, he was walking around.

, smelling the fragrance of her body, I couldn't help but feel panic in my heart, and I didn't dare to raise my head to avoid being rude and going down in a hurry.

Qin Qing was still wearing black clothes, her hair was combed with a ponytail. Although she did not apply any makeup, she was as bright as a fairy and a demon. She came to Zhang Lang, clasped her fists and said, "My brother, Chang'an

Fei Ge sent a letter from there!" As he said that, he took out a note from under his belt and handed it to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang took the note and opened it and read it, and said in surprise: "Li Yuan has proclaimed emperor!?..." Qin Qing next to him sneered: "I finally pulled off that veil of hypocrisy!" Zhang Lang smiled and looked at him.

Showing thoughtful look.

A few days later, Zhang Lang received a report and learned that Li Yuan had officially announced the world and announced that the destiny had been transferred from the Sui Dynasty to Li Tang. Li Yuan succeeded to the throne in the Nineteenth period and became the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and announced a grand amnesty.

All former Sui civil officials and generals in the world can maintain their current status as long as they are willing to obey the destiny of heaven and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Destiny of heaven is a very important aspect of Confucianism's self-justification. Confucianism emphasizes loyalty without bottom line and principle.

, The so-called king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die, and the father wants his son to die, and the son has to die. But this has a problem, that is, the replacement of dynasties. New dynasties often rebel in cities and replace the old dynasties, isn’t this related to Confucianism

Is that kind of loyalty contrary to that? Moreover, the new dynasty is often the sponsor of Confucianism, so Confucianism has to come up with a statement to endorse the dynasty and make a reasonable explanation on the so-called morality. And this reasonable explanation

It is destiny. It means that the power of the monarch is granted divinely, but if the monarch's actions violate the so-called way of heaven, God will take back the destiny given to him and turn it to another benevolent monarch chosen by God. This is called the destiny of heaven.

However, the emergence of this set of destiny theory opened a convenient door for the emergence of traitors. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, once foreign races invaded, so many Han people served for foreign races and were willing to be lackeys, almost all

Therefore, this theory of destiny is exonerated. They said that the Central Plains dynasty has lost the destiny, and the alien races have obtained the destiny. Therefore, their service to the alien race can be said to be a just act that conforms to the destiny. This kind of thing is really a bit ridiculous.

Then, then

It's a long way to go, and it's up to the point. Li Yuan told the world that he would succeed to the throne and become the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He immediately announced a general amnesty and sent a large number of envoys to envoy the princes in all parts of the world to declare Li Yuan's edict

.All the envoys came to Hejian.

Zhang Lang received the envoy in the hall, and saw the envoy standing tall in the hall in Han robe, holding Han Jie, and said loudly to Zhang Lang: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issuing edicts to the King of Liao, and the King of Liao kneels to receive it!"

When they came out, the crowd was sensational, and everyone couldn't help but scream.

Zhang Lang raised his right hand and the hall became quiet. Zhang Lang looked at the envoy and smiled and said, "The envoy is wrong. I am the King of Liao of the Great Sui Dynasty, not the King of Liao of the Great Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan's decree and orders were made.

I have nothing to do with it. If you want to say it, you will leave without it."

The envoy frowned, hesitated for a moment, then took out an imperial edict and spread it out, chanting loudly: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, which was the result of the decree of heaven! The Great Sui Dynasty

The fortune has ended, and the Tang Dynasty will continue its past and come. I hope that the Liao King will submit to the Tang Dynasty according to the will of heaven. If the Liao King surrenders, the title of Liao King will remain the same. The Tang Dynasty will never treat the Liao King unfairly! If the Liao King is willing to submit, please come in one month.

On the next fifteenth day, we went to Chang'an to attend the throne ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I admire this!" The envoy raised the imperial edict and looked at Zhang Lang and asked, "Does the King of Liao receive the imperial edict?" Zhang Lang winked at the slaughterhouse, and the latter understood,

Immediately went down and received the imperial edict.

Seeing this, the messenger didn't know what Zhang Lang meant, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, and clasped his fists and said, "This imperial envoy's mission has been completed, I'll say goodbye!" Then he turned around and left.

Dou Xianniang couldn't help but curse: "What a shameless person, he has become the emperor openly!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "He probably thought that most of the world was in his palm and could ascend the throne and become emperor!" At this time, a master from Baihua Tower rushed in and reported to Zhang Lang: "King, there is a Fei Ge passing on a letter."
