Don't be a prince

The head of a family rarely tells his family members what to do personally, but as long as he tells them, it must be something that the family members will firmly remember.

At the end of the Shangyuan Festival, after enjoying the glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival distributed by the East Palace, the eldest sons of each family began to prepare for school, with hopes, worries, or other goals...

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Chengqian got up early.

After the morning exercise, before the meal was finished, the soldiers on duty came to report, saying that a lot of students from each prefecture had gathered, and they were all waiting in front of the gate.

Randomly stuffing a steamed stuffed bun, Li Chengqian hurried out to welcome him.

If it's just the honorable ones who have entered the school, it's nothing. The most important thing is that the person who will come here today is also the leader of the Chongwen Museum-Mr. Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan, successively held the positions of Zhuo Lang, secretary and junior supervisor, and secretary supervisor. He was one of the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace at the beginning, and was named Yong'an County Duke after Zhenguan.

Not to mention the title, even if later generations called him, together with Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji, the "Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", we can also know that this one is not simple.

Although the 60-year-old is not as good as Li Gang's 81, there are not many people who can compare his seniority and prestige with him.If you are rude in front of this person, tsk, even the emperor's father will not let him go.

It was still a step too late, when Li Chengqian trotted all the way to the front of the palace gate, a little old man with a long beard was already commanding the team and scolding a few people who were setting up the arena to fight in front of the East Palace gate.

Those who come to school are all eldest sons and grandchildren, which one is not a well-known figure in the dandy world.But in front of this person, even Li Jinghuan could only bow down to salute and be scolded honestly.If you talk back, that's at least the punishment of starting a family law.Fastest update../ ../

After training all the eldest sons to be honest, Yu Shinan turned around and waited for Li Chengqian to arrange his clothes before saluting: "Old minister Yu Shinan, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but bent down to salute: "When I was in Qiandi, I have been longing for your teachings, and now I have fulfilled my wish. It is your first time to come to the East Palace today. I am late to greet you, and I hope you will be able to teach me, sir." No wonder!"

Yu Shinan graciously forgave the prince for being late. Although he had a high status in the academic world, he was able to clarify his position.Numerous facts have proved that all scholars are scumbags in front of the imperial power.When people are in a good mood and need to act, they can do enough to respect knowledge.But once that period of time has passed, a well-educated Confucian is no different from an ordinary passerby.

Inviting the old gentleman to enter, the two eunuchs were just about to perform their duties and came to search, but Li Chengqian stared back.

With a light cough, Yu Shinan didn't go in directly, but took the initiative to accept the eunuch's inspection.

The gentleman has checked everything, how can the dandies behind be an exception, they all know that the rules of the palace are strict, and they can only face bitterly and be slapped by the eunuch.

However, the torture was worth it. When they saw the magnificent building in front of them, the trace of complaint in their hearts disappeared immediately.

Chongwen Museum has invested a lot, and it will be supervised to start construction, so there is no cutting corners.

Although the architectural specifications in the palace are very strict, as long as the height does not exceed the sleeping palace of the emperor and empress, or the Tai Chi Hall, everything else is nothing.

The two-story wooden building, with carved beams and painted columns, costs a lot at first glance.

Compared with the dilapidated Hongwen Museum, this Chongwen Museum is far superior!

The structure of the Chongwen Hall is actually quite complicated, but at the suggestion of Li Chengqian, there are signs after entering the door, marking the use of the left and right rooms.

Going to the left after entering the door is the school room. Even though all the students who entered the school today are the eldest sons, there are only a dozen or so of them.

Those whose family titles are less than the duke's are not eligible to come in, and those who belong to the marquis don't even dare to think about it.

The only exception is that the bull sees the tiger.Although Niu Jinda is only the Duke of the county, as the owner of the East Palace, Li Chengqian wants to include whoever he wants, it's just a matter of one sentence.

Entering the classroom, after these dandies sat down, Li Chengqian first asked Yu Shinan to speak.

Clearing his throat, Yu Shinan said solemnly: "Old man Yu Shinan, I think you all know that. Since this old man is ordered by the emperor, he will naturally teach you all. As you have agreed in advance, this old man doesn't care which country's eldest son you are, as long as you have If you behave badly, this old man will clear you out and show no mercy, can you listen to me?"

Chang Sun Chong and others naturally responded quickly.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sweat for these eldest sons. The old man said that Yu Shinan was cowardly and weak, but he had a strong temperament and dared to speak out, which seemed to be true.

He is just a county prince, but in front of these future princes, he doesn't show any mercy.

After finishing speaking, Yu Shinan stepped aside and gave up his seat to Li Chengqian.

Standing on the stool behind the podium, Li Chengqian said: "The establishment of the Chongwen Museum, although the father said that he would find some schoolmates for the lonely, so that he would not be lonely, but in fact, this is preferential treatment for you. Just a great Confucian can teach you, there is no need to invite Mr. Yu over here. The reason why you can stand here is because your fathers are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty. Apart from this, I don’t think you are anything special.

According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, the son inherits the title of the father, and your father is the founding father of the country. Fortunately, you can not only obtain the title for no reason, but also avoid a reduction of the title.What a stroke of luck!Even if there is a fool among you, you will be able to be a master in the future and have no worries about food and clothing. "

Speaking of this, the eldest sons who were originally suppressed by Yu Shinan, although there was no commotion, some people already showed contempt for him.

We all won the throne in vain, what is this, you are the throne in vain!

Noticing the gazes of several cousins, Li Chengqian coughed dryly: "Ahem, in fact, this is also talking about myself. I have always felt that getting something for nothing is not a virtue, but a shame. So, In addition to learning Diao from Taishi Li, Gu also learned Diao's martial arts from General Niu and Wei Guogong, and he did not stop every day.

Gu, as a prince, has worked so hard, why do you have any reason to dawdle?So, study hard in the lonely Chongwen Museum, try to learn something famous, and after you go out, you can use your own efforts in exchange for the results you get.What do you think? "

Under the stage, Zhang Sun Chong and others all bowed their hands and said "yes".

Yu Shinan turned his head to look at the prince, and nodded in satisfaction.

Those present are all the eldest sons of the princes and county princes, and they are one of the most lucky ones in Datang.Moreover, they are at a young age, and it is best to fight bravely.

The crown prince's rhetoric can be said to have hit the bull's-eye. As long as they arouse their desire for performance, then he, the owner of the pavilion, will be much better off.

After retiring from the stage, Li Chengqian took the first seat and raised his head to listen to the lecture like Li Tai and others.

Although he has Li Gang as a teacher, this is the opportunity for him to get along with the descendants of the famous family.According to the old man, this is a way for the emperor to show his favor, and it is also a convenience for him to use.

In the future, as long as there is no rebellion, it can be said that the mainstay of the next court will be after these famous officials.Even if they are not in a high position and have the shadow of their parents, they will not be in a bad position.In any case, as the next emperor, he must get to know them from now on.

Because these people were all literate, Yu Shinan's task was much easier.

Because there are not one or two kinds of enlightenment reading materials in this era, so today I will talk about "The Analects of Confucius".

While lecturing, Yu Shinan watched the students' reactions.

Although the prince was listening to the class, but seeing that he was not interested at all, it was obvious that he already knew the class like the back of his hand.

Wei Wang Li Tai, on the other hand, simply deserted. On the desk was a huge piece of paper with "This king has already learned it", and he turned it upside down, showing extreme arrogance.

Shu Wang Li Ke, like the prince, seems to have learned it.

Of the remaining students, none of them deserted, even Cheng Chusi tried his best to resist the drowsiness and listened carefully.

In the land of China, even now, knowledge is still in the hands of a few people.Therefore, the patriarchs of these big families are well aware of the value of knowledge.With the advice of their parents, these students will not be passive and drop out of school.

After almost three quarters passed, the sound of a small bell suddenly sounded in the depths of the Chongwen Hall, which not only startled a few dozing students, but also Yu Shinan.

Only then did Li Chengqian realize that he hadn't explained the class schedule of Chongwen Hall to him.

Standing up, Li Chengqian took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yu Shinan, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, I was negligent and forgot to hand over the timetable to you. Every class is at three quarters. After class, give students A moment of time is used to deal with personal problems and refresh yourself. At your age, you also need some tea and a rest, don't you?"

After receiving the timetable, Yu Shinan looked it over. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the long lunch break and the big recess time, but thinking about his old legs, he could only nod in agreement.

An eunuch entered outside the door and led Yu Shinan to the office, where there was prepared fragrant tea.

As soon as the teacher left, the students would fry the pot directly as usual.

Relying on their identities as cousins, Chang Sun Chong and Chai Zhewei rushed over and praised Li Chengqian's "After class time".

You know, when they are studying at home, there is no rest time.It starts in the morning after breakfast and ends in the evening when it gets dark.

"Chengqian! Good job! My brother thought that entering the Chongwen Museum would have to suffer, but I didn't expect you to make up a rest time."

After class, Cheng Chusi and Liu Renshi (the eldest son of Kui Guogong Liu Hongji) came back to life.The two left the classroom with high jumps, and were about to go out to get some air.

Unlike a palace, the Chongwen Hall cannot be opened easily, so Li Chengqian also installed a coal stove here, and the room is unusually warm.

Chang Sun Chong stretched his arms and asked, "Chengqian, do you have any weapons in the East Palace? My brother has been sitting for such a long time, and his whole body is weak."

Not only did Chang Sun Chong feel this way, but even the bull on one side also saw the tiger; nodding repeatedly.

"Okay, ask the guards of the East Palace to bring you some weapons."

Go out with a group of young masters who are eager to try, and go to the empty space north of Chongwen Hall.

Under Li Chengqian's order, the guards brought up a large pile of various unarmed weapons in a short while.

At the same time, more than a dozen personal guards came over, and they naturally isolated the venue from the prince.Obviously, it is not a problem to use a weapon twice in the East Palace, but in front of the prince, you must control the distance.

Chang Sun Chong was already familiar with this, he took out a horizontal knife from his weapon, drew it out and started chopping.

Just a few times, Li Chengqian couldn't help clapping along with the crowd.

Each of Changsun Chong's cuts was very powerful, and he could vaguely see the way of the army's sword skills.

Just look at his solid lower body and nimble waist.With strong arms, you can tell that he has worked hard on weekdays.

"Hey, I'm coming too!"

Cheng Chusi stood up and found a horse spear from the weapon.Even if his father is a famous Ma Chan family, how can his son be so careless.

After Ma Chan's rehearsal, it attracted a lot of applause.

Even if it was comparable, the people who came out, including Niu Jianhu, each found a weapon and started to move.

Although Li Chengqian wanted to go forward, seeing the guards blocking him, he could only shrug his shoulders and act as a spectator at ease.

Although the arena was messy, upon closer inspection, one could find that none of these people were putting on airs.They are all the legitimate sons of various families, who can lack exercise?Even Niu Jianhu, who used to hide in the house and couldn't come out, used a horizontal knife very seriously.

Take a closer look, there is no simple character!

He took out a horizontal knife from the weapon pile on one side, pulled it out and held it with one hand, and tried to chop it a few times.

I have to say that Tang Hengdao, as one of the most famous styles of cold weapons, is really outstanding.

The horizontal knife of the Tang Dynasty was actually modified from the Huanshou knife of the Han Dynasty. It is generally about [-] to [-] centimeters long, with a blade length of [-] to [-] centimeters, a thickness of about [-] to [-] millimeters, and a width wider than that of an actual Han Dynasty. The knife is smaller, generally between three centimeters and four centimeters.

In terms of style, unless it is deliberately decorated, the horizontal knife looks like a wooden stick.

Trying to bend one end of the knife on the ground, stretched out his foot and stepped on it.

The toughness of the horizontal knife is very good, and it can bounce back even if it is bent so badly.Unlike the imitation of the scum that the dean of the later generations tossed around, the handle fell off with a light chop of the stake.

The guards watched the prince smirk while holding a horizontal knife, but they didn't know what happened, but no one dared to stop it.

Not long after, the class bell rang again.

The students threw away the weapons in their hands, and returned to the classroom screaming strangely.

Although they showed disgust towards Xue Diao, but no one really didn't care.

Li Chengqian also threw the horizontal knife to the guard, and followed into the room.

If there is no accident, there will be a short lesson from Li Gang next.

When a person is old, he is like a teacher.After hearing that Yu Shinan was the only teacher in the Chongwen Museum, the old man knocked on the wheelchair and strongly urged himself to come in and teach.Otherwise, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke would not have left the study, and would have attended classes with Chang Sun Chong and others here.

Chapter 144

In the morning class, only Li Gang attended half an hour, and Yu Shinan attended the rest.

The reason why great Confucians are great Confucians lies in their knowledge.Often just talking about the Analects of Confucius, they can lead to many stories.

Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Pre-Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin, whether it is official history or unofficial history, they can always pick up one or two jokes.At this time, people with knowledge can basically be qualified for the title of "historian".

After the morning class, it is lunch break.

The dandies who didn't eat after waking up in the morning, after a whole morning, all of them seemed to be vented and stuck to the table.However, when Li Chengqian said that it was time to eat, those who turned into slimes immediately jumped up.

When the Chongwen Museum was founded, Li Chengqian also participated in the planning of the design drawings.The sunny side in the front is classrooms, and the shaded side in the back is the canteen and offices.

It is really difficult for him to let the chef of the East Palace make the food for so many people by himself.So, yesterday Li Chengqian asked the imperial dining room for a few cooks to be responsible for the meals of these young masters.

As soon as the cafeteria door was opened, a strong aroma could be smelled.

At this time, no one cared about superiority and inferiority anymore, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin passed the crown prince, and rushed straight to the counter on the left like crazy.Because they saw that there were grilled lamb chops on it.

The eldest Sun Chong was considered to be a man of grace, and he went to choose a meal after asking the prince to take a seat.Seeing several steaming trays smoking, I immediately decided to eat steamed cakes.

Not everyone is qualified to eat at the same table with the crown prince. Except for Li Jinghuan, Niu Jianhu, Chang Sun Chong and Chai Zhewei, the rest of the people sat at other tables, and deliberately kept a little distance.

Li Chengqian found some buns, brought a bowl of egg drop soup, and sat on the table.

Before he could move his chopsticks, an eunuch came over, firmly took out a knife, and wanted to try the prince's steamed stuffed bun.

Li Chengqian casually handed one to him, and said irritably, "It's all a big pot of food. If there is a problem with one bowl, everyone will be unlucky. It will be good to try one, bastard!"

The eunuch naturally knew the prince's temper, so after eating a steamed bun, he retreated after feeling that nothing happened.

Picking up a bun and biting it, Chang Sun Chong let out a light snort, and when he opened it, it turned out that it was full of mutton.

Mutton stuffed, even in his family, they don't often eat it!

"Chengqian, this steamed cake stuffed with mutton has a thin skin and lots of stuffing, which really suits the taste. Sure enough, your food in the East Palace is special than other people's."

On the other side, Chai Zhewei, who had stuffed the whole steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, nodded repeatedly. Whether it was the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival or the glutinous rice balls for Shangyuan, as long as they were delivered by the East Palace, they were all delicious.They are all used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but they still can't find any flaws in the food handed down from the Eastern Palace.

The same is true for steamed cakes, not to mention the thin skin and big filling, even this layer is softer than other people's.Fastest update../ ../

Sighing, Li Chengqian said seriously to Changsun Chong: "Steamed cakes, what steamed cakes, these things are called steamed stuffed buns, look at the shape, it looks like a cake!"

The nouns of many things in ancient and modern times have discrepancies. In order to change Baozi back to its original name, Li Chengqian kicked all the eunuchs and cooks in the East Palace.I don't know what these people think, as long as it is steamed in a pan and made of noodles, they all call it - what and what cake.
