Chapter 252: Flattered
"Shangyi, please get up!"
Although Yang Qiren is young, he is magnificent, polite, and gentle in his words, which makes people feel like a spring breeze: "Today I came with my aunt to attend the class, so there are only masters and apprentices here, and there are no monarchs and ministers." If Li Yi and you are too formal, Auntie, she will blame me. ”
Yang Ying pouted: "I didn't let you come with me." ”
Yang Qi just pretended not to hear it, and continued to say to Li Shimin: "Since Shangyi and Lord Shangyi helped the crisis and chaos, restrained the rebels, and turned my imperial grandmother into a safe place, Xiao Wang has admired Li Yitong for a long time and has always wanted to thank him in person. And not long ago, at the night banquet of the Thousand Autumn Festival, Li Yitong swept the demeanor of three foreign princes such as Ashinash Bobi, which made Xiao Wang's heart break even more. The feat of Lord Yitong can be described as a great magnificence of our country. So today, after hearing that my aunt was going to come over to listen to Li Yitong's lecture, I temporarily decided to go with my aunt and come over to see the demeanor of Yitong, and asked Yitong not to blame me for being abrupt. ”
"How dare the minister blame His Highness. It was His Royal Highness's praise that made the ministers ashamed. ”
Li Shimin's face couldn't help but smile slightly.
He is now deep in the city, and he can already be happy and angry on some occasions, but he can be praised by others, which is a joyful thing after all, especially the person who said these words, or the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the person who is most likely to rule the world of the Great Sui after a hundred years of the future Son of Heaven.
"You can afford it!"
Yang Qi also laughed: "Even my father and emperor said that the Qing family should be the pillar of my Great Sui in the next fifty years." Every day, I want to be close to Yitong. ”
Li Shimin only felt a breath of blood, rushing straight to the cerebral marrow from the back of his spine.
He thought to himself that if it was before Li Xuanba's death, he would be grateful and drain his liver and gall, right?
But after experiencing the incident of Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, although he was also moved in his heart, he still did not reach the point of being unswerving for this after all.
However, there was still an excited look on his face: "How can the last general be so virtuous? How dare the Son of Heaven praise him so much? This really makes the last general sincerely afraid." ”
Yang Ying next to her is also bright. The better the person she likes, the happier she feels. It's just that she then remembered what Ashina Minghui said to him before.
So her expression, at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly cooled down: "As long as you are too talkative and crooked, do I still want to go to class?" and Li Erlang, don't thank you for coming and going, it's very annoying." ”
Li Shimin was secretly relieved in his heart, and he was impatient with this kind of occasion similar to that of a monarch and a minister, but there was a helpless look on his face.
Yang Qi shook his head slightly: "I said that Li Yitong doesn't need to be polite, today I just need to treat Yang Qi as an ordinary student." ”
But although this said that he wanted Li Shimin, he regarded him as an ordinary student. But where does Li Shimin dare to treat this as an ordinary person?
He was just secretly sighing in his heart, a year ago, in front of Yang Ying, he was able to be neither arrogant nor humble, and even not inferior in his mouth. But in the face of Yang Qi, he was flattered and bent his waist.
This is because Yang Qi's identity is different, after all, this is the most likely person to inherit the Great Treasure among the many dragon sons and grandsons of the Great Sui; And a year later, he has already given birth to ambitions that he did not have before, and it is difficult to take power and status seriously.
Li Shimin is also unwilling to offend this Yan King, and the honor and disgrace of the martial arts Li family in the next few decades may depend on this thought.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a faint sense of resentment and helplessness in the depths of his heart, indignant at his own humility and helplessness at his own weakness.
If the person who can kill and take away is himself, how nice it would be—
But soon Li Shimin suppressed this undeserved thought and concentrated on teaching Yang Ying.
Due to the presence of this Yan King, Li Shimin did not dare to teach the little princess martial arts and armor making and other things, but only taught calligraphy.
Fortunately, his attainments in calligraphy are quite passable. Although he can't compare with those great Confucians in the world, in front of this King Yan, Li Shimin is also confident that he will not be ashamed, and he can be the teacher of the little princess.
Yang Qi listened quietly throughout the whole process, and occasionally showed appreciation.
Until the end, Li Shimin silently wrote the full text of "The Analects of Yang Goods" on rice paper and calligraphy with Mrs. Wei, and explained the strokes and key points to Yang Ying. Yang Qi's brows suddenly frowned.
Li Shimin has been paying attention to the movements around him, and after seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "His Royal Highness King Yan, but the last general's pen, is there anything wrong?"
"No~"
Yang Qi immediately shook his head: "Yitong's calligraphy is excellent, and it is not much worse than my teachers." What I was thinking about was a passage from this yang article, but it had nothing to do with Li Yitong. ”
When Yang Ying heard this, she snorted dissatisfiedly: "Where did you come from so many famous halls?"
Li Shimin bowed slightly: "I see!"
He thought to himself that more things are better than less things, and since it has nothing to do with him, he doesn't need to ask more.
But at this time, Yang Qi's expression moved slightly: "Li Yitong, since you can write this yang article silently, you must have learned the essence of this article, right?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly: "I have learned it, but I don't know what is the difficulty of the palace?"
Zi said: Only, women and villains, embarrassed, raised, close to the grandchildren, far away resentment - what annoys Xiao Wang is this sentence. ”
Yang Qi looked at Li Shimin with an inquiring look: "A teacher told me the day before yesterday that the meaning of this sentence is that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and if you are close to them, they will not respect you, and if you alienate them, they will resent you." What Xiao Wang wants to ask is, does Li Yitong treat women the same way?"
After Yang Ying heard this, she was very unhappy and said: "What's wrong with women? Are they all villains? It can be seen that this Confucius is not kind, and he is worthy of being a saint." ”
"Auntie, stop talking, don't be inferior to the Holy Master. ”
Yang Qi reprimanded Yang Ying, and then continued to say in a consultative tone: "What makes Xiao Wang puzzled is exactly what Aunt Fang Cai said. For example, the emperor's grandmother, and the mother of Xiao Wang, they are not villains in any case, right? ”
"But I think Your Highness's teacher will definitely have a reasonable explanation?"
Li Shimin didn't rush to answer, he knew that several of Yang Qi's teachers were all great Confucians carefully selected by the Son of Heaven.
Yang Qi himself also has a reputation for being a good reader and valuing Confucianism.
"There was an explanation!"
Yang Qi bowed slightly: "The teacher said that the 'women' mentioned by the sage here refers to the vast majority of women in the world. If it is virtuous and virtuous, such as Queen Mother Wen and my imperial grandmother, etc., it is not included. But I think this explanation is a bit far-fetched. ”
After Yang Ying heard this, she still had an angry expression, and wanted to refute it, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only look at Li Shimin expectantly.
She believed that the latter would not be like those rotten views.
Li Shimin did have a different opinion, but at this time, he had concerns, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"If Li Yitong has any different opinions, please tell me bluntly!"
Yang Qi observed the words and looks, and immediately waved his hand, signaling all the people around him to retreat: "There is no one else here, the words of the same adult, out of your mouth, into the ears of me and my aunt, and no fourth person will know." ”
Li Shimin still hesitated, he was an idiot to offend Yang Qi's teachers. If you are charged with misinterpreting the classics and bewitching the prince for this, it is not a trivial matter.
"Please speak up with your lord!"
Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "Xiao Wang can guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, Li Yitong will not be convicted of today's words." You don't need to worry too much, if Lord Yitong's words are ridiculous, Xiao Wang will naturally laugh at it, but if it really makes sense, then whether you listen to me or not, what do you have to do with Lord Yitong?"
After all, Li Shimin didn't survive Yang Qi's earnest expectation, and hesitated to speak: "First of all, although I have studied the Analects, I have not been guided by a famous teacher, I am all self-taught, and I don't know if the truth I understand is right." I just thought that the sentence 'only, women and villains, are difficult and raised, and if they are near, they will not be grandchildren, and if they are far away, they will complain', which needs to be linked to the full text and consistent. I wonder if Your Highness has ever discovered that there are nineteen characters for "female" in the Analects, and the character "female" is falsely used as the character "ru". In addition to this yang article, seventeen of the remaining eighteen 'female' characters in the Analects are undoubtedly false 'you'. ”
Yang Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Lord Yitong means that the word 'woman' is actually 'Ruzi'?"
He knew that the meaning of Ruzi meant that in ancient times, it meant that you students and disciples meant it, corresponding to the second and third sons and the younger sons.
Li Shimin did not assert it for the first time, and continued: "There is also 'with', and 'with' in this chapter, it may also mean 'close, befriend'. 'With the villain' is to get close to and make friends with the villain. The so-called villain, in the Analects, the gentleman refers to the person who has already attained, and the villain refers to the person who has not yet attained. There are still difficulties, and this "difficulty" should not be the difficulty of "difficulty", but the difficulty of "戁", respect. This has a contrast in "Zuo Chuan • Twenty-six Years of Xianggong" - the villain's affairs are also gentlemen, the evil dare not go far, the good dare not approach, and stand by. There is also "The Book of Rites: King Wen's Son": "Establish a Taifu and a Young Master to raise it", Zheng Xuan's note: "Those who raise it, teach also." So I think there is also a problem with the sentence break. ”
"Is that so?"
Yang Qi frowned and groaned: "In other words, in Li Yitong's opinion, the meaning of this sentence is, in fact, you students and boys, you must practice the two principles of treating the villain with respect and cultivating the villain's body and mind." But beware, if you are too close, the villain will not know humility, and if you are too distant, the villain will be prone to resentment, right?"
