Chapter 19 There are benefits to marrying a princess
Li Chuan jumped up violently, and wanted to fight with Cheng Yanjin.
It's a pity that he knelt and sat for too long, and his legs didn't obey the call, so he jumped up, and then he went limp back, and a feeling of soreness and numbness raged on his legs, and Li Chuan's face twitched uncomfortably.
Li Chengqian quietly rubbed his legs with deep feelings.
"Sit down, look at your appearance, what are you like, it seems that your etiquette should also be strengthened." Kong Yingda can't see such a student the most, there are no rules, he pats the short table with a ring ruler, his beard is curled, and his eyes are full of hatred that iron is not steel.
"Teacher Kong, can we be humane? Change your sitting position, and if you continue like this, your legs will be useless. Li Chuan protested with a bitter face.
"Nonsense, the old man has been kneeling for a lifetime, and his legs are fine." Kong Yingda glared at him dissatisfied, leaned forward, and patted Li Chuan's arm with a ring ruler, "Sit down." ”
Okay, sit down, he doesn't bother with the old man.
Li Chuan reluctantly knelt down and sat back, but it was M-shaped, anyway, Old Man Kong couldn't see clearly from a short distance.
Li Chengqian almost exclaimed, he had never dared to do this, at this moment, he admired Li Chuan's boldness incomparably, and waited to see him punished.
As a result, to the little prince's surprise, Kong Yingda continued the topic and did not correct Li Chuan's sitting posture.
"Three Character Sutra?" Li Chuan scratched his head, he couldn't recite it, he could only remember a few sentences, now let him write, cough, he was a little blind.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll write it and hand it in." Li Chuan laughed dryly.
Kong Yingda frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, just so you can write another copy of the Analects and hand it in together, and I want to see what changes have happened in the Analects after a thousand years." ”
"The Analects? That shouldn't have changed much, the only change is probably the punctuation. ”
Feudal society has always been governed by Confucianism, and the inheritance has basically not been broken, so what can change? !
"What is punctuation?" Old man Kong is old, but his curiosity has not diminished at all.
“emmm… I'll sort it out and hand it in with the Three Character Sutra. Li Chuan tried to shorten the teaching time as much as possible, he is now tired and sleepy, his legs are numb, and he really wants to go back to rest.
Old Man Kong nodded in agreement, and then rambled for another half an hour before letting the two rest.
However, this is only half a lesson, and there will be a second half of the lesson in a while.
Li Chuan ran to his room with a smoke, fell on the bed he had only slept on once, stretched his limbs, sighed, and sighed by the way.
Taking classes like this every day, he seems to understand a little bit why Li Chengqian rebelled and went crazy after more than ten years, if he wanted him, he would go crazy in less than half a year.
Li Chuan had to admit that compared with these ancients, he was indeed raised squeamish.
What if you don't want to suffer? To improve the living standard of Datang, we must improve it as soon as possible!
"Li Chuan? How do you run so fast? Lonely looking for you has something. Li Chengqian walked in slowly.
He is different from Li Chuan, although Li Chuan's kneeling and sitting method is not comfortable, it will not affect his movements, but Li Chengqian must slow down for a while before he can act.
No, it's too late.
"I have something to do with you, you quickly ask the carpenter who is the master of the craftsman to bring the finished tables and chairs, it doesn't matter if they are not carved or painted, they will be used first, and then let them move the finished ones in a few days." Li Chuan eagerly pushed Li Chengqian out, "No matter what, it's better than sitting on our knees and listening to the lecture." ”
Li Chengqian thought about it, it made sense, and quickly arranged for Jin Rushan to do it.
Looking back and grabbing Li Chuan's arm, Li Chengqian asked, "When did the Tubo and relatives you said yesterday happen?" ”
When?
"Let me think about it." Li Chuan squinted and recalled, "Princess Wencheng is the daughter of the clan, and some people in later generations speculate that she is the daughter of Li Daozong, so it should be more than ten years later." ”
Li Chengqian was taken aback, Li Daozong really had a daughter, who was born not long ago, and she was less than a year old, so it seems that it is indeed more than ten years later.
But why is it Li Daozong's daughter? With his relationship with his father, it shouldn't be!
"Actually, I think that harmony also depends on how to make peace, don't you want to tie the two countries? It's easy, just let them marry their daughters or sisters, why do we always marry princesses, in such a poor place, marry our pampered princess, it's not a loss! I have to give a large amount of money to marry, and I give people and money, and I will lose it to my grandmother's family! ”
He really doesn't understand the practice of these feudal countries to save face, it's also strange, these feudal dynasties that have changed in the Central Plains have all inherited this problem, Tang, Song and Ming, plus a Qing, are obviously empty in their own treasury and are about to be able to run horses, but also want to slap a swollen face and fill the fat, and reward that is called generous, especially for small countries that come to worship, people say a few good words, send some special products, you can bring a large amount of property back, more than the GDP of the entire country in a year.
The money was given, and he comforted himself, saying that he wanted to reflect the demeanor of a great country, and in his opinion, this was called illness!
Gotta be cured!
"Uh...... Like, it makes sense. Li Chengqian pondered Li Chuan's words and felt that it was very reasonable, anyway, the two countries are on good terms, and whoever marries a daughter is not okay, so it is okay for us to marry a princess in the Tang Dynasty.
"Listen to me, yes." Li Chuan patted his chest, "In this way, you can have princesses from all over the world to appreciate in the future." ”
Li Chengqian's black line, he is against it, he is against marrying a princess from another country, he doesn't want to sacrifice himself.
Li Chuan smiled and grabbed the little prince's neck, trying to brainwash him: "Actually, if you think about it, it is still good to marry a princess, these women have lived and grown up in their country, and they must have a deep understanding of their country, they usually chat or something, what are those countries like, which aspects are strong, which aspects are weak, which ministers do not deal with each other, what kind of character are the lords of the country, can we also know in our hearts?" In this way, if there is a dispute in the future, will it not be possible to know the other side? ”
Li Chengqian stared at Li Chuan with a complicated expression, and just wanted to say: Despicable!
But isn't he right? That's right, it's just that the method is really ...... Anyway, he's a little hard to accept!
In the second half of the class, the three teachers and students finally freed their legs, and Master Kong circled around the table and chair several times, and then pulled the carpenter and told him to make a few more sets and send them home tonight.
There are also 200 sets to be ordered by the Guozijian, no carving, just fast.
Li Chuan clutched his chest, why doesn't Datang have intellectual property rights? Otherwise, with only this set of tables and chairs, he would not continue to be a poor ghost without a penny.
In the second half of the class, Li Chuan didn't have a chance to speak, so he only listened to Old Man Kong's lecture, but unfortunately, he didn't understand it at all.
What's even more tragic is that at the end of class, Old Man Kong also reminded him that he had completed the hundred times that Qin Qiuhuan had been punished for copying today, and he would check it tomorrow!
Li Chuan: "......" OTZ
