Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 484
"Ganer, this matter is of great importance, and no one should know about it. If only a few words are leaked, our reputation will be discredited. At that time, who is willing to form an alliance with Datang?" Li Shimin looked solemn, and he solemnly urged Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded, and after a while he said, "Elder uncle can't tell?"

"No!" Li Shimin said without hesitation: "The more people who know, the more risk of leakage."

"Here!" Li Chengqian shuddered slightly, through Li Shimin's words, he found that his father seemed to be no longer as obedient to eldest grandson Wuji as before.At the same time, Li Chengqian also found that Changsun Wuji seemed to have changed, and he didn't fully support himself as before.This seems to have started when I approached Qin Feng.

"Don't think about it." Li Shi patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and smiled: "You go down too. Tomorrow, you will host a banquet for envoys from various countries on my behalf! This world will be handed over to you in the end, and you should exercise your abilities more."

"Here!" Li Chengqian should have been ecstatic at Li Shimin's words, but at this moment he only felt a heavy sense of mission and responsibility, and said in a low voice: "Father, son, son..."

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, and said: "My son is afraid that I will not do well, and I will disappoint my father's high expectations."

Li Shimin said: "Your crown prince has done a lot better than I expected. Father believes that Gan'er is better than father. Don't feel pressure or worry. The emperor is also a human being, and human beings make mistakes. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, the most fearful thing is to make mistakes again and again. In order to prevent repeated mistakes, you have to listen to the advice of ministers and analyze who is right and who is wrong. As a king, you must distinguish between public and private, and you must never abolish public affairs for private reasons To tell you the truth, I don’t like Wei Zheng very much in terms of personal feelings, but in terms of national affairs, I really need someone like Wei Zheng. This kind of person speaks hard, but his starting point is right, so A person can be without talent or virtue, but he can't be without capacity for others, and he can't be without understanding of others, you have to keep this in mind."

"Ganer, in the future, you must not hate those people who sweep your face. No matter how ugly what he said, he is doing it for your own good and for you to correct your mistakes. Therefore, you should not hate him, but be grateful for it." Yes! Only such upright and fearless people are the ones who are truly worth relying on, and the ones who really think about the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, therefore, the father only admires Wei Zheng without any resentment. One who dares to point out It is a hundred times harder for you to be wrong than a person who flatters you. If you can't do this, you are not a qualified king."

The earnest words made Li Chengqian excited, with tears in his eyes, he was speechless for a while, and just nodded heavily.After a while, he said: "I have remembered my father's words! I will retire."

"Ganer, how is Yu Zhining, an old guy?" Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Shimin suddenly asked.

old man?
"This old..." Li Chengqian, who was at a loss, wanted to call him "old guy" too, but when he looked back, Li Shimin's eyebrows were raised, and he quickly changed his words: "Mr. , there is little competition in Confucianism."

"Women's view!"

Li Shimin dismissed Li Chengqian's words, and instead said to him: "Ganer, that old guy is knowledgeable, and there are few people who can compare with him in terms of scriptures and Taoism. But he is too pedantic and rigid, and he doesn't know how to adapt. , as the supreme truth. This old guy regards the words of the sage as an imperial decree. Once others have doubts, he jumps out to argue. Or your brother-in-law said it well, the words of the sage are correct, but the times are Progress, the people and things faced by future generations are very different from the era when the saint lived. The questions are different, and the answers are naturally different. Otherwise, it will be the fate of Zhao Kuo, who talks about war on paper, and will eventually die in a disastrous defeat. You can learn his cultural knowledge, but you must not learn his way of dealing with people.

Li Shimin's words reached Li Chengqian's heart.

Yesterday Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda taught him the way of being a gentleman, saying that "a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit".A gentleman should put righteousness first, only a villain should value profit everywhere.Li Chengqian's ears were callused after he told a lot of allusions.

Li Chengqian has his own views on things, and he knows that if Zhining and Kong Yingda's principles are used to govern the country, everyone will be a gentleman, and they will not fight back if they are beaten or scolded.It is conceivable that the Tang Dynasty will inevitably decline within ten years.It's just that the other party is a well-known Confucianist and the teacher arranged by Li Shimin for him, so even though he is impatient, he has to learn.caused him great pain.What Li Shimin said now made him suddenly enlightened, and he felt that the dark sky had suddenly become a bright universe.

"Father's words are good, and my son also thinks that Confucianism is not bad, but nothing can be blind, once it is blind, it will be counterproductive. My son has always believed that learning is learning at the sidelines, learning selectively, with doubts Going to school is the best way. If you fully accept their theories, I'm afraid I will become the son of Bole and mistake the toad for a thousand-mile horse."

"Gan'er has such insights?" Li Chengqian was so excited that his beard twitched.

What Li Chengqian said, even Li Shimin nodded in approval and said: "You don't have to worry about my thoughts in the future. If you have any doubts in the future, you can tell them with real examples. Don't be bored. They are sincere. Learned people, don't look at them as rigid, but once you make sense, once you make them speechless, not only will they not blame you, but they will think you are talented. Qin Feng repeatedly contradicted Kong Yingda, but why did Kong Yingda I have always been full of praise for Qin Feng? The reason is that Qin Feng used all kinds of real things to make him speechless. You can also do the same. Only in this way can you learn real knowledge. Of course, the premise is that you have real talent Real learning, you have to make sense. Otherwise, I won't protect you."

"Here!" Li Chengqian was ecstatic. Many times, the words he wanted to argue came to his lips, but he was afraid that Li Shimin would be unhappy, so he could only hold back. Now that Li Shimin is backing him, he is no longer afraid. Li Chengqian became very energetic.

………………

Not long after Li Chengqian left, Empress Changsun arrived leisurely.

"It's just in time, I have a good thing to share with you." Li Shimin, who was humming a ditty, his eyes lit up, he jumped up, took the hand of Empress Changsun, and proudly told her what he had just taught Li Chengqian.

Empress Zhangsun couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine knows that you are thinking about Qian'er, but what will gentlemen think when they find out? What will outsiders think? What will they think? They will say that it is His Majesty's connivance, which is why Gan'er is like this." It's unreasonable, it's not good for the emperor, it's not good for Qian'er!"

Li Shimin also knew what Empress Changsun said was reasonable, but in his heart he felt that his majesty as a king had been despised, and he said angrily: "Qian'er is my son, how can I teach you what to do, who dares to talk nonsense?" , I chopped off his head."

Having been with Qin Feng for a long time, Li Shimin can easily pick up some post-modern and non-mainstream vocabulary.

Empress Changsun was a little displeased when she saw Li Shimin, she muttered, the husband and wife who have been married for many years don't know what her husband is thinking in his heart, in private, especially in front of her, this emperor who rules the world often does some childish things .For example, when he was wronged by Wei Zheng in court, the anger was suffocated in his heart and he couldn't vent it, so he would come to her and complain, "I'm going to kill Wei Zheng, a country bumpkin."In fact, if Li Shimin really wanted to kill Wei Zheng, with his methods, Wei Zheng's character, and Wei Zheng's hundreds of times of offending Longyan, even ten heads would not be enough.

Li Shimin didn't kill him, but ran to Empress Changsun to sulk, yelling that he wanted to kill Wei Zheng, a country bumpkin.This is no different from a child being wronged and going to the closest person to confide in. Will Li Shimin really kill Wei Zheng?

Empress Changsun also knew that Li Shimin was just talking and didn't care, she just said seriously: "Your Majesty, let's be serious, will it affect him if you teach him like this?"

Li Shimin shook his head, and said in one breath: "Not at all, even if it has influence, it is a good side. Datang needs a real and down-to-earth prince, not a master of learning. Isn't Chen Shubao's knowledge not good?" Good, very good. Calligraphy and painting are even better. If he is not the emperor, he must be a good poet, but he is the emperor, and the emperor is the great management of a country, so he should deal with some trivial and messy things that happen in the world , but he treated his country with the feeling of being a poet. He lived a luxurious life, ignored the government affairs, had feasts with his concubines and civil servants day and night, and made erotic poems. , the Sui army invaded Jiankang, Chen Shubao was captured, and the Chen Dynasty was destroyed. Then there was Cao Zhi in the Three Kingdoms period, who was brilliant in watercolor, full of economics, and full of splendid articles, but Cao Cao, who was so talented and strategic, chose an heir. Why did you choose Cao Pi instead of Cao Zhi?"

"What the world needs is an emperor who cares about the suffering of the people and loves the people like a son, not a poet." Empress Changsun said without thinking.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "The lessons learned from the past are especially in front of us. I have no choice but to let it go." Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "I am very optimistic about this pair of uncles, Feng'er, this kid is really amazing. Bad idea, also foretells that Datang's enemies will suffer. I have to admire him, I don't know what he has in his head. I really wish I could empty out his various ghost ideas. Others say that he is close to Zhu Zhechi , close to Mo Zhehei, Gan'er has been with him for a while, and has been deeply influenced by him. This is a good sign, a prince should have his own ideas. In the past, although Gan'er did well, I was not satisfied. Because he used to be too reserved and lacked his own opinions. Now, he is becoming more and more like a prince."

Empress Changsun knew how Qin Feng treated Princess Changle kindly, and she liked her son-in-law more and more. She pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Feng'er is indeed remarkable, and it is a good thing for Gan'er to be friends with him. In the future, they will be together for sure. Made a great talk."

"Feng'er, everything is good, but I'm too lazy." Li Shimin smiled and said, "He is a donkey. If you whip him, he will only take a step. If you don't ask him, he will stand still." This bastard has outstanding talent, he can think what others can't think, and do what others dare not do, and he is surprisingly courageous. However, what I admire most is his laziness."

"Oh?" Empress Changsun was a little puzzled.

"You must know that talented people have never won many victories since ancient times. However, some people think too highly of themselves and end up harming others and themselves." Li Shimin smiled and said: "Influenced by that worthless boy, I suddenly discovered that the emperor is still It's really a hard job. Waiting for the world to stabilize, and Gan'er to be able to take care of himself, I will leave the world to Gan'er to manage. It seems that I haven't lived a good life for myself in most of my life."

When I was a teenager, I studied for the prosperity of the family; when I grew up in the Sui Dynasty, I studied for the world, and now, it is for the people of the world.He thought about it carefully, as if he still had many dreams that had not been fulfilled.
