"Father, uncle."

Looking at the two men with gloomy faces and brows, Li Chengqian got up and saluted.

"Hmph." Li Er sat aside with his sleeves flicked, and said in a deep voice, "Li Chengqian, you really are getting better and better as you grow older. Before your foot disease was cured, you still knew how to respect your teacher and respect your teacher."

"Now that the foot disease has been healed, and the prince has become a prince, why is he becoming more and more rebellious and disrespectful to the teacher?"

Li Er's words were very serious, and every word was like a knife, piercing Li Chengqian's young heart.

But this is also what Li Er deliberately did. Although Li Chengqian is only eight years old, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all, the heir of the empire, and he must grow up as soon as possible.

So Li Er didn't spare his sharp words.

Hearing Li Er's reprimand, Li Chengqian did not show the slightest grievance on his face. Instead, he walked up to Li Er, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "What the father taught me is that I know my mistake."

Then he turned to Changsun Wuji again, bowed to him and said: "Uncle, just accepted Qian's rudeness, please don't take offense."

"This..."

Changsun Wuji and Li Er looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.

This plot is different from what the two of them expected. Originally, the two wanted to stand on the moral high ground and criticize Li Chengqian to make him realize it.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian realized his mistake so quickly, and put on a look of repenting.

"Hehe..." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "The crown prince is still young and has a temper sometimes. Come to the East Palace."

Li Er: ...

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er's expression was so bewildered that he was speechless for a moment.

I Nima!

Didn't you run to Ganlu Hall with a blushing neck and mutter to me?

If it's not you, I came to the East Palace to find the prince to dry chicken feathers.

Li Chengqian looked at the two of them, pondered and said: "I know why my father came here, and I also know why my uncle is angry. It's not that the teacher you are looking for is not good at academics and has bad morals. under others."

Li Er glared at Changsun Wuji, and immediately turned his attention to Li Chengqian, "You already have a famous teacher in your heart? Apart from Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, and Wei Zheng, what great Confucians in the Tang Dynasty can teach you. "

Changsun Wuji followed and said, "That's right, Prince, I have worked hard to find a teacher for you. What famous teacher do you want to find?"

Li Chengqian's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law Qin Mu, I want him to be the prince and teacher."

Li Er: .....

Grandson Wuji:  …

The two of them thought about it, but they didn't realize that Li Chengqian actually wanted Qin Mu to be his teacher.

"It's impossible!" Li Er refused without any hesitation.

It is enough for him to have Qin Mu's anger at him. If it brings Li Chengqian down, then he should not be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Why not?" Li Chengqian stared at Li Er with big watery eyes.

The voice is immature and the words are firm.

With a cold face, Li Er said in a deep voice, "If I say it's impossible, then it's impossible. Why are there so many?"

Chapter 1 Thirty: The Prince's Persistence

Looking at the father and son facing each other.

The eldest grandson Wuji hastily stepped forward to persuade him: "His Royal Highness, although Qin Mu is well-versed in both civil and military affairs, suave and suave, with a jade tree facing the wind, with a pure disposition, a heart of righteousness, and a heart for the world...but he is really not suitable to be the princess of the Eastern Palace. division."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er looked at him in a daze.

Are you speaking for me?

You really want Qin Mu to be the prince and grand teacher!

Li Chengqian stared at the eldest grandson Wuji, and pondered: "Uncle said that brother-in-law Qin Mu is so good, so why do you still say that he is not suitable to be the Grand Master of the Eastern Palace?"

"Wen can write a pen to secure the world, and martial arts can mount a horse to determine the world. Whether it is poetry or calligraphy, commanding troops to fight, hanging pots to help the world, or personal combat power, how is brother-in-law Qin Mu inferior?"

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to Li Er, "I really don't know why my father objected?"

Hearing this, Li Er was taken aback for a moment, and then thought about it, Qin Mu is indeed good enough and a talent.

Seeing that Li Er was silent, Li Chengqian continued: "I know what my father is worried about, but the eclecticism shown by brother-in-law Qin Mu is by no means ignorant of etiquette, but that he lives a more real life and understands it more clearly. reality."

"Father and emperor always don't want his sons and ministers to live in dreams all day after they succeed to the throne. They can't see what the world looks like, can't feel the suffering of the people, and can't be a wise king."

Hearing this, both Changsun Wuji and Li Er looked at Li Chengqian in a daze.

When did this kid become so eloquent?

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er and murmured: "Your Majesty, if not, you will submit to the prince and let Mu'er be the prince and teacher."

"His Royal Highness's words are somewhat reasonable, and Mu'er's ability is indeed worthy of it."

Li Er looked up at Li Chengqian, and said in a deep voice, "Give me a reason why you insist on Qin Mu being your teacher."

"Although I recognize his ability, he is not a great Confucian after all, and there are many things that he can't teach you."

Li Chengqian responded with a salute: "I dare not lie to my father, I feel that Qin Mu's eldest brother-in-law has a unique temperament, confident, free and easy, calm..."

"Following Mr. Kong, Mr. Lu can naturally learn a lot, but he can't learn the truth, that kind of indomitable and indomitable spirit of brother-in-law Qin Mu."

"Father always doesn't want his son to be an emperor who can only talk about wars on paper. Some things, after all, can't be learned from the Four Books and Five Classics, classics."

After the words fell, Li Er stood up and walked around the hall.

It seems that this is the reason for Li Chengqian's temper. He is very smart, he knows that only in this way can Li Er be introduced into the East Palace, and Li Er will be patient and listen to his explanation.

"Auxiliary machine, do you also think it's feasible?" Li Er frowned and looked at Changsun Wuji.

This old guy who has no idea and sells his teammates, picked himself quite cleanly.

"It's feasible, but there are flaws in it. The old minister suggested that Qin Mu be the crown prince's tutor, Kong Yingda be the crown prince's tutor, and Lu Deming be the crown prince's caretaker." Changsun Wuji pondered and said, "This will not delay His Royal Highness's study of Confucian classics. , and let Mu'er teach His Royal Highness some other things."

In fact, Changsun Wuji had thought about this kind of arrangement, but he knew Qin Mu's temper, and he knew the tempers of Kong Yingda and Lu Deming even more.

They are all great contemporary Confucians, especially Kong Yingda, who is the No. 30 first grandson of Kong Shengren.

How could he be willing to be inferior to Qin Mu?

But now besides Changsun Wuji's method, Li Er really can't think of any other way to get the best of both worlds.

After a pause, Li Er sat aside, looked at Li Chengqian, lowered his eyes and said, "Chengqian, are you really so persistent?"

Li Chengqian was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and his gaze was firm, "As long as the father is willing to let Qin Mu's elder brother-in-law be a teacher, the rest is all up to the father."

In fact, Li Chengqian's character has always been very pleasing to Li Er.

Gentle and honest, ambitious, open-minded...

As long as it is well cultivated, it will be an emperor's talent in the future.

Moreover, Li Chengqian's request today was not too much. Apart from Qin Mu's free and unrestrained personality, whether it was his appearance, talent or his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, he was not uncommon.

Except that he has no ambitions and does not want to become an official in the court, except that he likes to say something to Li, he seems to have no other shortcomings.

Li Er understood that Qin Mu didn't mean to embarrass him on purpose, Qin Mu never regarded him as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but rather as a friend.

"Okay." Li Er nodded, and pondered: "Since the auxiliary machine agrees, and Cheng Qian insists on it, then we might as well give it a try."

"Auxiliary machine, you have someone call Qin Mu, Kong Yingda, and Lu Deming to the East Palace. I will settle this matter myself."

Thinking of these three, Li Er felt dizzy.

Two [-]th scholars from Qin Wangfu, great Confucian scholars at that time.

One is his son-in-law, Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, who is unrestrained.

He didn't need to think about what kind of sparks these three people would have in a while.

Changsun Wuji responded with a salute, "The old minister takes orders."

Then he turned and walked out of the hall.

"Chengqian, come and sit down." Li Er greeted the prince who was standing beside him.

Now the anger in his heart has almost disappeared, and he behaves like a kind old father.

"It's Emperor Father." Li Chengqian saluted slightly and sat beside Li Er.

Li Er could tell that since Li Chengqian's foot disease was cured, he became more confident and dignified.

He looks a bit like himself back then.

"Father, my son heard that Elder Sister is going to convert the Splendid Manor into a college?" Li Chengqian asked with wide eyes.

"Oh?" Li Er stroked his beard and pondered, "Even you know about this?"

Li Chengqian nodded, "I think that this book of sages and sages needs to be read, and the national conditions and people's livelihood must also be understood in a timely manner. Even if you can't offer advice to the emperor and solve problems, you can still increase your knowledge and accumulate experience. If you encounter the same problem in the future, Not to be helpless."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Er nodded hurriedly, secretly happy in his heart, he did not expect the prince who was only eight years old to be so enlightened.

Li Er then asked: "Then do you think this matter is right or wrong, should I strongly support this matter?"

"Of course." Li Chengqian said without hesitation: "This move can not only solve the problem of settling down for the children who died for the country, but also solve the worries of the soldiers of the three armed forces. Why not do it."

"Furthermore, didn't the father always want to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family on the officialdom and restore the imperial examinations? If you can't vigorously develop schools, when will this vision be realized?"

"If this college can be established, the official career of the children from the poor family will no longer be suppressed by the aristocratic family, and there will be more and more parents and officials in Datang."

"I really can't think of any reason to object."

Chapter 131: Insights

Li Er was delighted to hear what Li Chengqian said clearly and logically.

He didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so enlightened and so devoted to the establishment of the academy. Although he was only eight years old, he already had the appearance of an imperial heir.

"Hehehe..." Li Erchang laughed, "I am so relieved that my son can have such an idea. What books have you read recently, and your thoughts are so enlightened."

Li Chengqian murmured: "It has nothing to do with the sage books my minister read, it's just that my elder brother-in-law Qin Mu said some interesting things when he healed my minister's foot disease, and my minister understood something."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Li Er became interested, "What did Qin Mu tell you? It made you understand so many truths."

Li Chengqian raised his eyes and recalled, "Brother-in-law Qin Mu told his ministers about King Zhou You who played the feudal lords, Emperor Yang of Sui who levied violent taxes, King Zhou Zhou who was cruel and heartless..."

"A king must come from the people, go among the people, understand the people's feelings, and understand the people's livelihood. Only in this way can he know the difficulty and hardship of the people's life, and he can be an emperor for the country and the people."

"Brother Qin Mu also said that the world belongs to the people in the world. Although the price is ninety-five years, the people should not be regarded as scumbags and ants. Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. Just like water can carry a boat and capsize it. Stay away from traitors, have your own thoughts and judgments, and never look at the world and the people through the eyes of others."

"Hiss..." Li Er exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mu, who is usually idle, has such awareness and awareness.

At such an age, one understands the fundamentals of the world.

And let Li Chengqian understand these truths.

Now, Li Er also gradually understands why Qin Mu is talented but unwilling to join the temple.

Maybe he has long regarded fame and wealth as a passing thing.

Just as Li Er became an emperor, he realized how difficult it is to be a good emperor.

How many are involuntary, how many are powerless.

......

Chang'an City.

Qin Mansion.

Today, just as Qin Mu rushed back to Chang'an from Mangya Village, Changsun Wuji came to the door before his butt was hot.

"Uncle, if you have any orders, just let someone know, why bother to go there yourself."

Knowing that the eldest grandson Wuji was coming, Qin Mu went out to greet him in person.

His courtesy to Changsun Wuji was even higher than that of Li Er, and he knew in his heart that Changsun Wuji treated him sincerely.

"Hehehe..." Changsun Wuji saw Qin Mu, and closed his mouth happily from ear to ear, "It's okay, it's okay...I came here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"Discussion?" Qin Mu raised his brows slightly, and said bluntly, "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to ask, just ask directly, there is no need to discuss."

Seeing Qin Mu speak like this, Changsun Wuji was even more delighted.
