Li Gang smiled and said, "Oh? This is the first time the old man has heard of it, you can tell me, why only the sentence 'born in sorrow and died in peace' makes sense? ”

Li Chengqian smiled helplessly: "It's very simple, born in adversity and dying in peace, in simple terms, it is a truth - 'be prepared for danger in times of peace', this truth seems to me to be very incisive." When we are accustomed to peaceful and prosperous times, we should guard against arrogance and rashness, and be alert to possible dangers. However, the previous period of heaven will descend on the Si people, which is not very appropriate in my opinion.

If a person wants to take on a great responsibility, what he needs is knowledge and cultivation, but knowledge and cultivation are not something that can be tempered by hard work and hard work. Therefore, tossing a person does not make a person outstanding, and it may cause bad results. ”

Li Gang pointed to the cushion with patches under Li Chengqian's knees, and said with a smile: "Hehe, just like what you are experiencing now?" ”

“....”

Looking at Mr. Li's sly smile, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

It is said that old age becomes fine, and now it seems to be true. He said it casually, but he didn't expect the old gentleman to directly break his idea.

After being embarrassed for a long time, Li Chengqian admitted: "You are right, the kid is still quite helpless about his situation. ”

Seeing Li Chengqian admit it so happily, Li Gang couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, the old gentleman patted his thigh and said, "The old man thought that you were going to say something incisive, but it turned out that you were just using the topic to play and complain!" However, what you said is indeed a bit crooked, a person who wants to take on a big responsibility really does not need to be tortured. Moreover, knowledge and cultivation are all spontaneous, and they cannot be possessed by others.

To be honest, the old man also thinks that what the prince has done is not appropriate, but, Cheng Qian, as a quasi-prince, you also have to understand the painstaking efforts of your father and a minister! ”

Painstaking?

Li Chengqian showed a vivid puzzled expression, it's just that Dad has hard work, why is he still involved with a minister?

Li Gang patted the brocade beside him and motioned for Li Chengqian to come and sit.

Li Chengqian smiled, did not shirk, and sat next to the old gentleman. To be honest, sitting on the brocade is much more comfortable than kneeling on a broken cushion.

patting Li Chengqian's head, Li Gang asked: "If you want to talk about hard work, you must first talk about the troubled times since the Han Dynasty." Do you know anything about things after the Han Dynasty? ”

Li Chengqian scratched his head.

Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, three points of the world?

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?

Come on, what can be said about this?

Although he knew, Li Chengqian still pretended to be confused and replied: "The boy of the Han Dynasty has heard of it, but he won't know about it in the future." ”

Li Gang slapped his face, he forgot that the child in front of him was only seven years old.

But it's also good that it can just make up for his historical knowledge.

After organizing the language, Li Gang began to say: "Since the Han Dynasty, whether it is the Wei, Shu and Wu Three Kingdoms campaign, or the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, our land of China has never stopped wars. After the Sui Dynasty dominated the world, it didn't have time to recuperate for many years, and Emperor Yang's crusade to the east once again ignited internal contradictions. Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, etc., various warlords were divided into all directions, and the war did not end for a moment. It was not until Tang Liguo that these warlords were gradually eliminated.

Do you know how many years have been since the Han Dynasty? It's been close to 400 years, and in 400 years, there have been few times of peace. During the Han Dynasty, the land of China dominated the world, who would dare to offend the Xiongnu and other countries? But now you see what has become of the weakening of the country? During the Wude period, the statistics of the people's strength, the figure of three million households, made many people speechless.

It can be said that what Datang is going to do next is a mess. With the surrounding countries eyeing each other, it is so difficult to restore the Tang Dynasty to the kind of prosperity it was in the heyday of the Han Dynasty! Whether it is your father or a courtier, in fact, there is an idea, that is, to let our Chinese nation stand on the top of the world again. Such a difficult task, they are afraid that a generation will not be able to complete it, so they can't help but hit the idea on you.

As a line in line to the throne, you are destined to accept the fruits of this generation and carry them forward. Do you think they'll allow you to be just a dumb emperor? ”

Li Chengqian scratched his head again, not in doubt, but in his scalp.

He didn't expect that there was such a deep reason for his treatment. When Li Gang said this, he was a little embarrassed.

It turned out that this group of people was not tossing around, but really had a great goal, and then couldn't help but be strict with themselves.

After seeing Li Chengqian's reaction, Li Gang stroked his mustache again, and said proudly: "Otherwise, do you think your father can invite an old man?" Although he is now in control of the imperial court and will soon be enthroned as emperor, the old man does not want to bird him, so he can refuse to be your teacher with any excuse. ”

Of course, there are still some things that Li Gang is unwilling to say to Li Chengqian, a child.

If the son doesn't listen to his father, it is impossible for him to tell everything in front of Li Chengqian.

Seriously, he was indeed disgusted by Li Shimin.

If you have a coup d'état, you will have a coup d'état, even if you kill your brother and imprison your father, why do you kill all your nephews and nieces? What are you doing with your sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the harem? obviously wanted to be the emperor of the Central Plains, but he just brought the traditions of the Xianbei people to Chang'an. If it weren't for the fact that the content of Kong Yingda's letter was really affectionate, he would have rejected the holy decree.

Li Chengqian didn't notice the old man's changing expression, but stretched out his thumb in confusion.

The old gentleman at this moment is indeed domineering.

"But..."

The old gentleman changed his words again.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at the old gentleman again, looking forward to the old gentleman's next step.

The old gentleman smiled and said, "If you make your East Palace so deserted, the old man really can't stand it, and there are no beautiful palace maids to see it." ”

"Uh...."

Li Chengqian only felt that three words were stuck in his throat, saying it would make the old gentleman angry, but it would be uncomfortable if he didn't say it.

coughed twice, and Li Chengqian simply coughed out the three words "old and unrepaired".

Seeing Li Chengqian's entangled look, Li Gang laughed even more.

After laughing, the old gentleman became serious again, and said with a straight face: "Cheng Qian, the old man wants you to do the three precepts, can you do it?" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up and said, "Please ask Master Li for advice." ”

No matter what the old gentleman had to say, he had to keep it in mind. Li Chengqian has always paid attention to the old man's words of warning.

"You are only seven years old now, but these three precepts should be remembered. In this life, when you are young, you will be in the ring, middle-aged people will fight in it, and you will be in the ring when you are old. This principle of Confucius applies to everyone, whether poor or rich, commoner or emperor. ”
