Mohist Tang

In the Imperial Court.

“men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, rituals too! “Classic of Rites” says: “Men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things.

A Quan Wanji with white hair and beard is quoting the scriptures and making generous statements. According to his point of view, it is against the etiquette of men and women to meet and talk.

“Master Quan is worthy of being a learned man, and he is really my Great Tang moral model.” Many ministers nodded in agreement.

Quan Wanji got the support of courtiers, and said more angrily: “Although Mohist Family Son has a talent, but he misbehaves like a disciple. It is against the ethics of deciding on the street and a woman for life. If it is not punished, I am afraid that Chang’an City youngsters will rush to imitate and destroy my Great Tang ethical foundation. It is a serious crime!”

“This is the rule of Confucianism, Mo Dun is the Mohist Family Brother Son, it would be inappropriate to use “Classic of Rites” to accuse Mo Dun!” Qin Qiong could only comment on this.

After hearing Qin Qiong’s comments, many generals have nodded. Quan Wanji’s quotations are Confucian classics, and Confucianism and the Mohist Family have always been at odds, and I am afraid that it is not suitable.

Li Shimin hearing this nodded and said: “Besides, young people are passionate and have love in their hearts. This is a common thing. There is no need to criticize too much!”

At this moment, Li Shimin naturally does not know this The woman is Princess Changle, if he knew it, I am afraid he would not think so.

Quan Wanji stubbornly said: “Although Mo Dun is the younger brother of Mohist Family Son, but the matchmaker’s words of the parents order, this is the ethics of heaven and earth. If you love in your heart, you can ask someone to ask for relatives. Dont give a token of love. Isnt it a violation of etiquette to make love between the two without the consent of the womans parents?”

In this era, men and women get married and follow the instructions of their parents. Everything is done by the parents. Arrangement, even before the marriage, there are many people who have not seen the husband and wife. Mo Dun’s move to make love to the woman without parental consent is simply unforgivable in the view of traditional ethics.

Hearing Quan Wanji arguing like this, even Li Shimin was silent. According to Great Tang’s current secularity, Mo Dun’s move is indeed improper.

Qin Qiong sneered said: “As the saying goes, the people dont sue the officials. If you want to punish Mo Duns crime, at least there must be a suffering lord! I dont know who Lord Quan is advocating justice for, But the woman’s parents?”

Quan Wanji suddenly stopped, Qin Qiong’s words hit his biggest weakness, and that is this matter. I still don’t know who the woman is!

Quan Wanji, no matter how many counts are listed, it can’t be implemented. See how With such a good opportunity, the other Confucian children were silent, but Quan Wanji, a stubborn and rigid person, rushed to the forefront regardless.

Li Shimin also said curiously: “putting it that way, now I dont know who the woman is?”

The ministers were helpless and nodded, but the scandal about Mohist Family Son Flying around Chang’an City, but the woman never shows up, like a mystery.

Qin Qiong showed an inexplicable smile and said: “I heard from my youngster that Mo Dun insisted that he was just a chance encounter, just like in the words, and didn’t know the identity of the woman.”

The ministers couldn’t help but show a weird smile. Some open officials couldn’t help but say with a smile: “You are just right!”

Maybe they are like Mo Dun at this age. Why don’t they have a similar impulse, it’s just that they are not at all Mo Dun so lucky and talented.

“How is it possible? The two of them have golden strands as tokens, and sooner or later they will be exposed.” Quan Wanji said ten thousand people in disbelief. That is the famous Mohist Family Son in Chang’an City. It is a must, so how can you make such a low-level mistake.

Li Shimin waved his big hand and said in a final word: “Then wait until the female Fang Family reports to you before discussing it.”

This is the Imperial Court major event, how can it be? It is a place to discuss the personal affair of Mo Dun’s children. Li Shimin is also suspected of favoring Mo Dun in this move. If the female Fang Family chief learns that Mohist Family Son loves her daughter, I am afraid it is too late to be happy, how can she appeal.

Quan Wanji was helpless and had no choice but to give up, but looking at his firm face, everyone knew that this matter was far from over.

After dealing with the affairs of the court, the ministers withdrew from the court, and Li Shimin was sighed in relief.

“By the way! Why haven’t I seen Mo Dun, the youngster Attending the Imperial court recently?” Li Shimin suddenly asked Pang De beside him.

Pang De bowed and said: “Replying to his Majesty, Marquis of Mo claimed to be a Seventh Rank official. If he did not meet the Imperial Court Attending the Imperial court standard, he did not come to Attending the Imperial court. “

The standard of Great Tang Attending the Imperial court is that only officials with Fifth Rank and above are eligible to participate in the Imperial Court Assembly. Of course, those with Nobility Rank are also allowed. According to the rules, Mo Dun uses his Seventh Rank officials. The reason for not coming to Attending the Imperial court is also reasonable.

Li Shimin coldly snorted and said: “At this time, he understands the rules.”

Pang De said with a smile: “Looking at the old slave, Lord Marquis Mo is When the teenager is in a restful mood, he can withstand the hardships of the morning, I am afraid I want to be lazy and sleep in that’s all!”

Li Shimin, this is nodded, although Mo Dun is Mohist Family Son My brother, but he definitely did not carry forward the idea of pre-Qin Mohist Family penance. On the contrary, even the ordinary Mohist Family Son brother has produced a lot of items that are greedy for pleasure.

“I asked him to restart Firearms Squad. He is fine, and he is still in the mood to go to the Lantern Market. Could it be that he dislikes him as a Seventh Rank official not worthy of his status as a Marquis!” Li Shimin angrily said.

Thinking of Mo Dun visiting a lantern market, the city was full of troubles, and even into the Imperial Court, Li Shimin became angry.

Pang De on the side bends deeper. Mohist Family Son has made such a big noise in Chang’an City. In addition, coupled with the rumors of Mohist Family Son and Princess Changle, the palace has recently suddenly There is no deep taboo.

Li Shimin calmed down a bit and asked: “How is the progress of Firearms Squad?”

“Replying to his Majesty, now Ministry of Works Yuwen Bo uses Mohist The construction of Firearms Squad for Family Equipment has accelerated greatly. According to the memorial of Marquis of Mo, the first phase of the Engineering Project will be completed in mid-February, and the manufacturing of Gunpowder can begin. Pang De handed over Mo Duns memorial and respectfully said.

Li Shimin took Mo Dun’s memorial and read it in detail, nodded, in mid-February. In this way, time is also ample.

“Send to Mo Dun, if the Western Expedition is delayed, I can’t spare him!” Li Shimin said bitterly, the Western Expedition is coming soon, Great Tang needs Li Shimin to worry about every aspect of Great Tang, of course not Spend all your thoughts on Mo Dun.

“Yes!” Pang De respectfully said.

Li Shimin’s heart suddenly moved and said: “Mo Dun controls the Gunpowder secret skills. In order to prevent people from approaching, he will try his best to investigate. It is necessary to find out who the Mohist Family Son is on the night of the Yuan?”

Why not curious in his heart, who is Mo Dun’s favorite person on the night of the Yuan Dynasty?

I just use the Imperial Court’s intelligence to investigate the private affairs of a courtier, and it can’t be justified. He had no choice but to find a reason for himself.

“No need to probe, This Palace Host already knows who it is?”

Just as Pang De was about to turn around and leave, he heard Empress Zhangsun’s voice coming from outside the palace.
