Dongchang needs talents like you

[Can I not like any of them? 】After Chi Ning finished speaking, he inexplicably felt a strong desire to survive attacking him, dominating him and added to Yuan Jun, 【Why do I like two outsiders?I like you enough. 】

Yuan Jun didn't speak, but he was very happy, unparalleled happiness.Even though it was clear that Chi Ning was just complimenting him habitually, he still felt the joy of his heart beating violently for no reason, even though he didn't actually have a heart.Not because of these words, but because the person who said these words was Chi Ning.Sooner or later, he will make every compliment that Chi Ning said turn into words from the heart!

Then, within a few days, Yuan Jun disappeared again "something".

Chi Ning: "..." It can be said that I am very tired.

Taking advantage of Yuan Jun's absence, Chi Ning tentatively went to meet Li Chaolu from Zuo Wang Xin Zhai and Dong Xing from Donghai Wang's Mansion respectively, and then it was basically confirmed. Although they looked the same as usual, in fact That's not the case, at least as far as Chi Ning observed, the words and deeds of the two of them are very mechanical, as if they were set in advance by someone, and they are not as agile as when they met Chi Ning for the first time.

Chi Ning is more than [-]% sure that their strange appearances are inseparable from Mr. Yuan.It's a bit similar to the feeling that they are not human beings, but Yuan Jun's two pieces of clothes.

Only when Yuan Jun puts on this dress, will he look like a real person.

Yuan Jun is gone, the clothes are still gorgeous, but lost their authenticity.

Chi Ning unilaterally relabeled the two of them with two new names that are easy to remember: the boss and the second child.

The people around the boss and the second child don't seem to realize that something is wrong with them, or if their cognition in a certain aspect is deliberately blurred, they will automatically rationalize the various behaviors of the boss and the second child.For this, Chi Ning really couldn't think of any other more reasonable reason than Yuan Jun's power to do whatever he wanted.

But Yuan Jun is not here, Chi Ning has no choice but to confront the Lord, he can only hope that Yuan Jun will disappear this time, and don't make another third child.

In the days when Yuan Jun was away, the eldest and second child basically lived in reclusive mode, and except for Chi Ning, they rarely met other people.It is understandable that Li Chaolu is an expert in the world in the eyes of some people. He retreats all day long.Dongxing is the king of the East China Sea, and he is also a person with a strange and flamboyant personality. He also does this, which makes people feel that there must be a conspiracy.

Many vassal kings who entered the capital earlier have tried it for one reason or another, and wanted to ask the King of Donghai if he had heard any rumors or news in advance.

Only Emperor Nianping had a different way of thinking, and felt that the king of the East China Sea was the real wise man's way-to thank guests behind closed doors and not touch power.He asked him to come to Beijing, and he came honestly, and left without taking a cloud after the party was over.

Emperor Nian Ping had already forgotten why he wanted to call a king with a different surname like Dong Xing into the capital for a moment, but, forget it, Dong Xing was so low-key, it didn't look like he would cause trouble.He should follow his own plan and focus on dealing with other feudal lords first.

Just like Chi Ning's guess, there is nothing wrong, Emperor Nian Ping is indeed secretly preparing to make a big deal this time.

For this reason, Emperor Nianping started the first step——

At the clean-up banquet prepared for the vassal kings and princes, Emperor Nianping ordered the prince Wen Chen to come on a whim, expressing that he would take a school exam in front of civil and military officials and the vassal king. .

The purpose of Emperor Nianping's move, as long as he is not stupid, can be understood. He wants to let everyone see the "dull and uneducable" side of the prince, and then use gossip to fight public opinion wars, and give the world a "Prince Wenchen". Not worthy of being a prince at all."How should I put it, three years has allowed Emperor Nian Ping to grow to this point.

He even lost his most basic insistence on keeping the etiquette, and he completely turned into a villain.

Although Chi Ning knew it would be like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.To be honest, if Emperor Nianping could always insist on his observance of etiquette, Chi Ning might still respect him as a man in his heart.But this world is generally like this. What is rare is never the principle at a certain moment, but the ability to stick to this principle for a long time, and will not change the original intention due to the polishing of reality.

Emperor Nianping did not resist.

Also... Thank you again for the change of Emperor Nian Ping, who lost his only advantage in the power struggle, and it is even more regrettable for Chi Ning to get him to step down.

Nian Pingdi's calculation of public opinion war is already very powerful compared with the various operations he has done in the past, but from the perspective of his competitors, it is still a bit unrealistic.Because there is no need for Wang Yang, the Empress Dowager and other well-known gangsters to take action, the prince himself, who is not yet ten years old, has already solved it with a lot of effort.

The situation at that time was like this. Emperor Nianping asked the prince to come out, and opened his mouth to ask him what book he was reading recently.

Everyone knows that the crown prince has not yet left the cabinet, so there is no official team of three masters and three teachers for the crown prince. A child under ten years old may not be able to read all the words, so what kind of books can you expect him to read? How many things are there?

Emperor Nian Ping is obviously making things difficult for others.

But the Empress Dowager and others could not use this point to stand up and argue for the prince, or to yell at Nian Pingdi, because in this way they admitted the prince's self-improvement and ignorance.

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Nian Ping gradually with unfriendly eyes.

Chi Ning translated it for the Queen Mother: It's only been three years, you're here again, right?Very good, your number is gone!

No matter how much the Jagged Empress Dowager planned to think about Emperor Ping in the future, the predicament the prince was facing right now was real, and this time, no one could solve his difficulties for him, and the only one he could rely on was himself.The little prince was wearing a heavy court dress, and the crown on his head was so heavy that he seemed unable to look up, just like the gazes of all parties watching him at the banquet and giving him great pressure.

This was not only a unilateral suppression by Emperor Nianping, but also scrutiny from various forces. They stood by and watched to see how the prince would respond.

A prince who is capable on his own is always more pleasing than a prince who needs to rely on the queen mother and eunuchs for everything.

And all those who sincerely supported Wen Chen couldn't help but sweat for the young him. For any ordinary child, such pressure is too great.But the prince is destined to not and cannot become an ordinary child. He was born extraordinary. While enjoying the rights that others do not have, he has to pay an equal price.

The prince seemed to have thought hard for a while, and then he bowed a little reluctantly, and said to Emperor Nian Ping who was sitting on the dragon chair at the banquet: "Returning to Uncle Huang, my nephew is reading "Cheng Zu's Daily Life Notes" recently."

Chengzu was the son of Taizu, and together with Taizu he conquered the world and conquered the world, so there was an "ancestor" in his posthumous title.

When Taizu was the founding emperor, Chengzu was naturally the prince. He was the first prince of Daqi, an old prince who was actually not young.The old prince is old-hearted and has nothing to do in his free time. He lives in the East Palace and has done many unprecedented things, such as... adding illustrations to his daily life notes.

Daily life notes are a special style of writing that records the words and deeds of emperors. Generally, only after the prince becomes emperor will the official historian begin to record them.

Chengzu was the next emperor, and because Daqi had just founded the country at that time, he was not so particular about many things, so he had already had his own daily life since the time of the prince.

Cheng Zu felt that the cold words were not enough to express his literary and military strategy, so he insisted on rolling up his sleeves and drew illustrations for the words himself.

And, yes, apart from being good at fighting and painting, Chengzu is also very narcissistic.He became emperor and moved the capital, but he never forgot the masterpiece of his life as a prince. Before he died, he never forgot to tell his son to keep his life in the East Palace for generations to learn from later generations. pay homage.

Don't ask what you can look up to. Asking is the loneliness of being too cold at a high place.

The original words that Chengzu said to his son before his death were: "After I die, you can relax a little, and you don't have to be compared with the unique me, but you also lose my wisdom anytime, anywhere. No matter what It doesn’t matter, I’m so smart, I’ve already prepared a living note, if you, no, my descendants, can get a glimpse of my demeanor from the daily note, it’s enough for a lifetime.”

In short, Chengzu's daily life note with a lot of illustrations and his own life "wisdom" was placed in the most prominent position in the East Palace, not only the prince can see it, but the princes also need to see it.

The little prince said that after reading this book, there is still a great possibility. Pictures are always more attractive than words.

Emperor Nian Ping was also prepared for this. Although it was not the answer he was most looking forward to, he still prepared the topic to deal with: "Oh? I didn't expect Chen'er to learn to read daily notes at such a young age. Very good, then Zhen Let me test you, to see if you have really learned the wisdom of our ancestors of the Wen family, or if you just swallowed the jujube, don't be ashamed."

If it wasn't in the main hall, Chi Ning would have wanted to slap the table and start a fight with Emperor Nian Ping. Emperor Nian Ping's words were too shameless. It was said to be a test, but it was actually implying that the prince wanted to pretend in front of civil and military officials and vassal princes everywhere Face is deceiving.

If the crown prince really believed in Emperor Nianping's evil and was let go by him like before, then he would really have to do what Emperor Nianping wished, but unfortunately...

The Empress Dowager Youqin, who was sitting obliquely behind the emperor, glanced at Chi Ning unobtrusively.

Chi Ning returned the Queen Mother with a look of "I will handle the matter, you can rest assured". Although he did not prepare Li Shimei for the prince to teach for the purpose of dealing with Emperor Nianping, but he had a countermeasure for the accidental collision.

Although Chi Ning was a little surprised why the prince chose to say that he had read the Notes on Daily Life instead of the Four Books and Five Classics, the Notes on Daily Life were indeed within the scope of Li Shimei's teaching.It is still the same sentence, teaching is entertaining. Seeing that the prince is studying hard, Li Shimei often expands other interesting knowledge for him, such as the history of Daqi.

From the history, we can not only summarize the practices of many predecessors, so that the little prince can learn from experience and avoid repeating the same mistakes, but also can be a joke to tell the little prince what his strange ancestors have done. thing.

"Cheng Zu's Living Notes" is already the foundation of the foundation, and the prince will not be stumped.

Emperor Nianping asked: "Cheng Zu once said that I am inferior to Su Chuo in the way of employing people. What's the explanation?"

The prince replied: "Su Chuo, a famous official of the Western Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was good at arithmetic, thoughtful and eager to learn. He once helped the Northern Zhou Taizu Yuwentai to reform and create the method of household registration and accounting."

Wen Chen's answer was clear and well-organized. He first introduced who Su Chuo was, and then introduced Su Chuo's most famous deeds. This is a very standard answering pattern.

"Su Chuo once played against Yu Wentai on the method of employing people.

"Su Chuo said: Use corrupt officials and abandon corrupt officials.

"The former means that if a corrupt official is given benefits, in order to keep his own benefits, he must sacrifice his life to maintain the king's rule.

"Yu Wentai asked, since we use corrupt officials, why should we abandon them?

"Su Chuo said that the purpose of killing corrupt officials is to please the people, and only by using corrupt officials can we continue to please and cover up such critical moments."

This may sound rascal, but it is true.Countless history has told us that no matter how many policy mistakes the emperor has made, as long as he starts to kill corrupt officials, he will always be more or less praised by the people.In fact, not only the emperor, but even officials are the same for officials. They can use the killing of corrupt officials to cover up many things.

Corrupt officials are like leeks, once you cut off a crop, you can grow another crop, and your children and grandchildren will have infinite scarcity. Only by cutting down from generation to generation can you maintain your rule.

The biggest problem with Emperor Nianping in the past three years is that he has implemented too strict policies. Even though he himself has become greasy and is no longer that polite young man, his requirements for the following have not changed.All are still strict and strict, which not only makes the common people exhausted, but also makes the civil and military officials of the court no longer support them.

Hearing such a conversation, Emperor Nian Ping was not touched or understood much, he just felt that Cheng Zu was really messing around, that he would write such absurd words in the daily notes, which would affect future generations.

When his son becomes the prince, he is determined not to be allowed to read Lao Shizi's "Notes on the Daily Life of Chengzu".

But there is nothing wrong with letting Wen Chen take a look.

Emperor Nian Ping nodded: "Very well, I will ask you again..."

Next, Emperor Nianping tirelessly asked the little prince a lot of questions related to "Notes on Chengzu's Daily Life", and the little prince answered them fluently.Not only that, but Wen Chen can talk eloquently under the eyes of everyone, standing in the center of the hall, not only does not panic, but can occasionally intersperse one or two whimsical ideas belonging to children's childish language, attracting Everyone nodded frequently.

Chi Ning saw the same meaning in the eyes of many ministers: He really deserves to be the son of Emperor Tianhe. Such precocious wisdom is the luck of the country and the blessing of our generation.

The better the prince's performance, the uglier Emperor Nian Ping's face would be, and he didn't even mind showing it directly.

This made Chi Ning suddenly feel a thump.

Emperor Nianping is not a young boy who has just ascended the throne, so it is unreasonable to behave so bluntly. Although the whole world knows that he must not see the prince's outstanding performance, but Emperor Nianping dares to express his emotions so directly. trick.Maybe it was within his expectation that the prince performed so well.

There is no answer to this kind of double-ended trap question. No matter whether the prince answers that he did not study or that he has read, Emperor Nianping should be able to find out where he went wrong.

It wasn't just Chi Ning who realized this, the Queen Mother also thought of it, and said in the identity of the Queen Mother: "Okay, today's protagonist is your brothers, the Ai family knows that you value Chen'er, but you don't know what to do." You can't blindly pamper your children like this, and you can't tell the priority. You don't want to ask the old master's Huaigu how he is after marriage? Will the grandson of the second family run away?"

The queen mother is changing the subject, trying to calm things down, so stop here.

But Emperor Nian Ping would not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of it. He patted the armrest of the dragon chair, knowing that he was angry with the prince, but not knowing that he had dared to challenge the queen mother directly.

In other words, Emperor Nianping was using this to vent his dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager's unkindness became more serious.

"My mother's words are wrong. The prince's business is a family matter. I really don't know today if I don't ask. I was shocked when I asked. I didn't expect the prince to read so deeply. Who dares to defy my order openly? Did you teach the prince these things? Let the prince lose the joy of childhood? When the emperor was here, he often told us that there is no limit to learning, and childhood cannot be repeated. I am still in the prime of life, why should I be so cruel to the prince?"

Emperor Su did say this to his sons, but not to the prince, but to the bastards born of his other concubines. He didn't want them to surpass the prince.Now being used here by Emperor Nianping, you can't say he is wrong, but it is enough to understand his sinister intentions.

Emperor Nianping wanted to see him poorly, and he said everything for the prince on the surface, but in fact...

It is killing chickens to scare monkeys, so that people will not dare to intervene in the prince's teaching.Every minute, a big hat will be buckled down. You teach the prince because you deliberately don’t make the prince happy, and you want the prince to be too motivated. Where can the prince get better?It's nothing more than the emperor, so you are trying to provoke the Tian family's affection!

Dare to ask, if things go on like this, who would dare to teach the prince anything?If the prince is really ignorant, how can he be emperor?

This is a thoughtful and dangerous move.

It is also commonly known by the folks as killing.

Just at this time, Wen Chen tilted his head, widened his black and white eyes, and broke the situation with a sincere and innocent tone: "No one teaches my nephew."

"No one taught you, can you understand daily life notes?" Emperor Nian Ping sneered, taking the prince's words as a child's stubbornness, he did not hesitate to throw away his good uncle's face and put pressure on the prince, "Chen'er, I know you I am eager to protect you, but you have to know that a gentleman can do something and not do something, lying and deceiving people is not what a prince should do, this is the crime of deceiving the king, do you understand?!"

At this time, the children with a slightly bad mentality were either scared to cry or knelt down on the spot.

Only Wen Chen was unmoved, and continued to maintain the innocence and ignorance of a child. It was like talking to a parent at home: "But my nephew is not lying."

""Cheng Zu's Living Notes" are full of paintings, are the paintings difficult to understand?

"Those characters were taught to my nephew when my father was here, no one needs to teach them, my nephew can understand them by himself, isn't it difficult?

"Why must Uncle Huang feel that his nephew can't understand?"

Cheng Zu was a rough man. He fought on the battlefield during his youth, when he should learn knowledge the most in his life.He paints on the daily note, not because he is so tall and artistic, but because he can't read much.

God knows where such a Chengzu got so much self-confidence. He feels that no one in the world is as powerful as him.

But in short, as far as Chengzu's education level is concerned, his daily life is really a reading material for children in the enlightenment stage.As for whether Emperor Tianhe taught the prince to read or not when he was alive, who knows?The prince and queen mother said yes, so there is.You can't think that Emperor Ping once leaned on the wall of Da Nei to spy on how his elder brother Tianhe raised his son, right?

Emperor Nian Ping: "!!!" He was very angry, but he was still speechless, no matter what, his brother Tianhedi was always bigger than him.

Chi Ning almost didn't laugh out loud, he finally understood why the prince didn't talk about so many books, but chose the daily notes to talk about things, it turned out that he was here waiting for Emperor Nian Ping.

Very far-sighted.

The ministers, including Wang Yang, all took a high look at the prince.

The focus of this question and answer is not what books the prince has read, but the foresight he has shown.Taking one step at a time and watching ten steps like this, even if Tianhedi is at this age, he probably won't have it.Be prepared for danger in times of peace, the ancients were sincere and did not deceive themselves.

Wen Chen will be prepared. Of course, it cannot be because he is so smart that he can predict the thoughts of Emperor Nian Ping, but because he has experienced it in his previous life.What he answered back then was the well-balanced "The Analects of Confucius", and he thought he had overcome the trap of Emperor Nianping's questions, but he didn't want to not only stumble when answering questions in front of the hall, but also hurt sister Li behind...

Emperor Nianping was not reconciled, and tried to struggle again: "You, can you remember what happened so long ago?"

The little prince smiled shyly: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid of the emperor's uncle's jokes. My nephew usually has nothing to do except play in the East Palace. I always feel that the time is too long and boring, so I can only rely on memories of the past to find something to do. "

"My nephew has actually wanted to talk to the emperor's uncle for a long time. Since my uncle took the initiative to mention it today, my uncle must also feel that my nephew has reached the age when he should study, and he can't continue to waste his studies like this. After all, the emperor's brother and the others had already entered the university at the age of five." That's right. My nephew knows that the emperor's uncle pitied his nephew for losing his father when he was young, and he prefers me, so he wants to let me enjoy a few more years of childlike fun."

"But reading can also make my nephew happy. My nephew is probably the same as Chengzu. If he doesn't do something, he will feel uncomfortable. I also hope that the emperor's uncle can make it happen."

Chi Ning wanted to applaud Wen Chen, yes, yes, well done.

How can the generous uncle of the emperor have the heart to reject the innocence of his little nephew to learn from the elders in the family?If you speak with Sudi, he will retort with Chengzu.Do you dare to say that what Cheng Zu said was wrong?It is true that most people in this world experience happiness from games, but there are also workaholics like Taizu and Chengzu.Only by letting them study hard can they feel happy.

Are you really going to stop your little nephew from having fun?Who just said that he hoped that the little prince would have a happy childhood?

Wang Yang didn't wait for Emperor Nianping to answer, so he was the first to go out, and followed the little prince to ask Emperor Nianping, hoping that Emperor Nianping would consider the prince's entry into the cabinet, and don't disappoint the child's desire to learn.

As long as Emperor Nian Ping was unhappy, the vassal kings would join in the excitement happily, and acted provocatively as if they thought the matter was not big enough.Anyway, no matter how much Emperor Nianping fought with the crown prince, it was not his turn to sit on the throne.That being the case, why not just add to the chaos, at least you can reap happiness.Therefore, when King Jing took the lead to kneel down and beg, the other vassal kings also echoed: "Yes, yes, Brother Huang, just give Chen'er a chance."

The general situation is over, and the officials are forcing the palace.

Emperor Nian Ping never expected that the crown prince would dare to openly resist him at such an early age, and he resisted so much that he could not find fault, and was cornered.

The little prince Wen Chen thought in his heart, I didn't resist you in my previous life, but you still tortured me.Since resistance or non-resistance is a result, why should I follow your will?

Wen Chen will never forget that in his previous life, at this banquet, Li Shimei was beaten to the point where she almost lost her life.Although she was saved by her companion in the end, Li Shimei was crippled forever.It is also because of this that Li Shimei embarked on the road of learning Wu with Zhu Liang.He needs to add some means of self-protection, otherwise he is just a cripple that everyone can despise.

The humiliation of that day was also the reason why Wen Chen pampered Li Shimei so much when he ascended the throne later, he owed him a leg.

But back then they couldn't do anything, Chi Ning suppressed Wen Chen, not to let him be impulsive, he said: "Remember this day, my lord, remember this day. Sooner or later we will come back with revenge."

Later they did come back with revenge, and Emperor Nian Ping's fate was unprecedentedly miserable.

But no matter how happy they are in the future, they will never be able to change the fact that Li Shimei has lost the ability to walk normally.There are some things, just like this, even if you have great power, there is no way to recover.

Fortunately, God has treated him well.

Let's do it all over again.

No one knows, how long Wen Chen has been looking forward to this day, he will not let anyone bully the people around him, no one!

This time, not only Li Shimei will not be lame, but the prince will also get his chance to study earlier in the public.

Emperor Nianping...

He had no choice but to succumb, and he subtly lowered his not so noble head.

Chi Ning likes to watch Emperor Nian Ping stealing chickens and losing money, feeling aggrieved to the point of death.
