The debate between the four people seemed to have become an important topic in the court, and it was raised to the level of the country, the country, and even the common people and officials were involved in it.

Apparently they were too full to do anything, so only people among the four peoples would talk loudly and even exclude each other. This was something Zhao Zhen did not expect. Song people actually cared so much about their social status.

There is no way to ignore it. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have divided the people of the world into four classes. Each class will have their own class interests, and of course they must compete with each other.

Today's merchants in the Song Dynasty are no longer the last of the four people. The children of merchants can take part in the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court, which greatly improves the political status of merchants. As long as craftsmen have a pair of dexterous hands, they can create or

If you improve the tools in the factory, you will become a guest of businessmen and even officials.

So the question is, how should the four people be sorted today?

The sun shone into the majestic Daqing Hall, leaving a large shadow between the pillars. Cai Boyi knelt on the ground without saying a word, surrounded by the pointing fingers of officials.

"Cai Boqi is too presumptuous. He actually dares to appear in "Four Mins Are Subordinates". This is to elevate the status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants to the same level! In this way, what is the difference between the poor and the noble? The Tiangang Wuchang still needs it.

What is it for?"

"No! But it still depends on the official's intention. The official has always been very kind to Cai Boqi, maybe he can really deceive him!"

"This requires people of my generation to stand up and eliminate the traitors in the Song Dynasty to rectify the court!"

"Dong Yushi said it well! As expected of Kedai Akiken, he is extremely loyal!"

The officials of the fourth and fifth grades were talking to themselves, while the princes of the two mansions were silent. How could they not see that Cai Boyi's drama today was instigated by the officials? What happened in the back garden yesterday did not matter to them.

I also know that the Queen concubine convened the female relatives of each family to have a banquet. During the banquet, they talked a lot about Buddhism and Taoism, and some of them were mixed.

But this mixed blessing shows the thoughts of the official family. It seems that the official family is going to start rectifying Buddhism and Taoism. Who doesn't know that the official family is not very welcoming to both Buddhism and Taoism. The Taoist sect is better, and the official

I just hate them for pretending to be gods and ghosts, but I hate Buddhism extremely.

Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even Wang Zeng, who originally believed in Buddhism, began to reject monks, let alone the upright Lu Zongdao.

But they have also seen Cai Boyi's Four Minshu, in which he raised scholars, farmers, industry and merchants to a high level. This is a bit too much, and the officials will never agree. This guy still doesn't know the gist of Shangshu. Only by being targeted can he hit the target.

, such an effect of firing thousands of arrows at once is only half the result with half the effort!

"Your Majesty is coming to court!"

Following the shouts of the three talents, the officials bowed and saluted, and after the ceremony was completed, they behaved themselves. There were no more verbal criticisms of Cai Boyi in the standing team.

Zhao Zhen sat on the throne and looked at Cai Boqi on the ground. This boy must have suffered a lot of grievances. His fat face was red from suppressing it, and it was full of innocence and dissatisfaction.

Smiling slightly: "Something strange happened today. Do you know what it is?"

Lu Zongdao frowned slightly and left the office and said: "Guan family, although Cai Boqi does not have to go to court when he is appointed as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, there is nothing wrong with him coming. He must have something important to report. It is inappropriate for Your Majesty to play with it!"

This is digging a hole for himself. Unexpectedly, Lu Zongdao has become more and more upright as he gets older, and he doesn't even give his own face. This is simply a replica of Wei Zheng!

But Zhao Zhen really couldn't bear to move him away. It was better to leave one of these admonishers behind. If there were too many, he would feel uncomfortable, and if there were too few, there would be no warning.

Zhao Zhen smiled awkwardly, looked at Cai Boqi's teasing eyes and said helplessly: "What Lu Shenzheng said is true, it's me Meng Lang. Cai Boqi, I have already read your "Four People Are Subordinates of the People", you can tell me about the main hall.

Let the civil and military officials above tell you. Get up, don't pretend to be pitiful, I will accept your trick, but your ministers will not accept it!"

Cai Boqi breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to kneel anymore. Even with the lining sewn on his knees, he couldn't stand kneeling like this in the main hall. His knees were a little sore and numb.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I took a nap yesterday and suddenly remembered His Majesty's words: The Dharma cannot be long-lasting. It is as if I am tossing and turning in an instant. It is indeed as Your Majesty said. The Dharma of ten years ago can no longer be used today, let alone the old Dharma hundreds of years ago.

?

Chen traced back to its origins and found that the theory of the four peoples first appeared in the Guliang Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a Confucian classic and is one of the three commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals along with Zuo Zhuan and Gongyang Zhuan.

It’s also quite inappropriate as times have changed…”

The words of the little fat man obviously touched the taboos of the scholar-bureaucrats. Even Song Shou came out to object: "That's unreasonable! Cai Bo, you can't lie. How come the Confucian classics are no longer used today? The Confucian classics that I taught you have become useless.

Can’t do it?!”

Song Shou dealt a fatal blow to Cai Boyi as soon as he came up. As a teacher who opposed the students with good reason, this was almost a sure defeat.

But Zhao Zhen believed that Cai Boqi would definitely think of a way to deal with it. Sure enough, the little fat man bowed to Song Shou as a disciple: "What the Song scholar said is true, but the student feels that the great principles in the Confucian classics must be passed on, and the knowledge that has changed with time must be removed.

This is the foundation of inheriting Confucianism, His Majesty once said, take the essence and discard the dross!"

Zhao Zhen stiffened. This bastard Cai Boqi actually dared to say such words in his own name. Isn't this causing hatred for himself?

Sure enough, all the courtiers looked at Zhao Zhen on the throne, and the hall was silent for a while.

Zhao Zhen glared at the pretentious Cai Boqi hatefully, coughed slightly and said: "I did say that we should take the essence and discard the dross, but this is based on the complete inheritance of the sages' ways. Only the sages' teachings can be completely inherited.

Only when classics adapt to the times can we select the essence, and only by understanding the principles of the sages can we eliminate the dross according to the needs of the times."

Zhao Zhen's words made the ministers frown and think hard. After thinking about it for a moment, this truth is correct.

"Your Majesty, you are wise! There are many examples of ancient methods being used today, just like the Song Dynasty inherited the methods of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although it was inherited, there were many modifications. Why the modifications? It is because the situation of the time was different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Only

That’s all!

Are the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants of the Song Dynasty the same as the scholars, peasants, industry and merchants of the Spring and Autumn Period?

If it is different, the corresponding status of the four peoples must be formulated, but in Cai Boyi's view, the people of the Song Dynasty are all His Majesty's subjects, they all create value for our Song Dynasty, and they are all an indispensable part of our Song Dynasty. In this way

What's the difference? Government officials should treat their sons the same way a father treats his sons, and everyone should be treated equally!"

Cai Boyi's deceptive theory indeed deceived some courtiers. The princes of the two palaces made a tacit agreement not to interrupt. Ding Wei pretended to be deep in thought. Wang Zeng hesitated and hesitated. Xia Song nodded slightly... Even Lu Zongdao and Song Shou...

He just glared at Cai Boyi without saying a word.

They all know that this is what the officials mean and it is also the way to strengthen the country, because they received a memorial from the officials before the court meeting, Cai Boyi's "All the People Are Subordinates" and there was an imperial approval...

"When a country is strengthened, the people are united as one, and the obstacles faced by the four peoples are particularly terrible... I hope you will help me!"

The officials had already talked to such an extent, who had the nerve to refute, even Lu Zongdao sighed slightly and stopped talking, not to mention Ding Wei and others who already supported the officials.

The two ministers did not object, and the remaining courtiers had almost no objection. Du Yang, the censor, was about to step forward to refute, but was stopped by Lu Yijian, the right-hand admonishment official on the side: "Don't ask for trouble, you can't see that this is an official

Do you mean home?”

Du Yan wanted to say something more, but Lu Yijian shook his head slightly, sighed and stopped talking. He knew that it was inappropriate to refute the official in the palace at this time, but it was necessary to go to court after the court was over, otherwise Du Yan would feel sorry for himself
