Hearing the old gentleman's words, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but widen: "You mean, you want the kid to use you as an excuse to do things?" No, no, how can this work! ”

It's too bad to use the old gentleman as a shield!

The old gentleman said indifferently: "If you want to do this, you will do it, and in the future, if you encounter something that is not good for the prince's name, you will use the old man's name." Don't talk about you, didn't the emperor do the same thing? Not to mention that the civil and military officials are all the choice to carry the black cauldron for the emperor, even the queen, doesn't she also have to carry the black cauldron for the emperor?

Do you remember the purpose of building Chongwen Hall? It stands to reason that such a big matter must be announced at the imperial court, and then the Ministry of Industry will be appointed to do so. The result? It was the queen's decree that was transmitted to the East Palace, and it was also the queen's decree that was transmitted to the Ministry of Industry. It's nice to say, what is the prince's young age, and the queen can also interfere in the construction of the palace in the East Palace. But judging from the fact that the Ministry of Industry didn't even resist the decree, from top to bottom, they want you to pay for the East Palace.

Hehe, I all know that the prince of scheming has a bad reputation as a child. Otherwise, why is it not the Holy Decree that is decreed? Figured it out? Brat! ”

Li Chengqian smiled embarrassedly, Yizhi's matter is not practical for the old gentleman to say, he also guessed a rough idea. The fact is that the superior will not make mistakes, and it is always the subordinates who make mistakes. This principle is applicable to ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

It is rare that the old gentleman will have the kindness of helping himself "carry the black pot", Li Chengqian smiled, walked to the old gentleman and whispered: "Since you have talked to this extent, why don't you help me put a name on my farm?" Did you open it to the public? ”

"Farms?"

Li Gang's hand shook, and the ink stained the freshly written "Lu" black.

Throwing away the note and putting the pen away, Li Gang said confusedly: "What are you doing with the farm if you have nothing to do?" How fast does this thing come in? Not necessarily, but the Yongsheng Wine Shop was closed by you and changed to a grain merchant who hoarded grain, so that the old man couldn't even drink good wine, and he had to ask the palace for it. ”

The locust plague cannot be said, Li Chengqian can only say: "The opening of the breeding farm is naturally for the prince's pro-rate, and you also know that before the construction of the Chongwen Pavilion, the biggest expense of the East Palace was the prince's pro-rate. Training soldiers, meat can't keep up, so I came up with the idea of opening a farm. Isn't it the best of both worlds to be able to supply the consumption of the prince's pro-rate now, and when the scale expands in the future, it can also supply the military supplies of the sixteen guards? ”

Li Ganghu glanced at Li Chengqian suspiciously, lowered his head and wrote the note "Collected by the Duke of Lu's Mansion" before he made up his mind: "Since you think that the farm is not good in the name of the East Palace, it is not a problem for the old man to bear it." I just don't know, the old man can help you get your name for a few years. ”

After sighing with emotion, the old gentleman put down his pen.

Obviously he had only been writing for a while, but his wrist was already hurting.

The years are not forgiving!

Most afraid of hearing the old gentleman talk about death, Li Chengqian couldn't help but reach out to help the old gentleman massage his wrist, and said while massaging: "Your old man is eighty-one years old this year, except for walking, which meal is missing?" To live to your age, the most important thing you need is to be meticulous and self-cultivation. The more I talk about death all day long, the worse my body becomes. I want to open up and live! Now you teach the boy, and the boy is still waiting for you to be my officiant, and even teach my child! ”

Li Gang squinted his eyes and enjoyed Li Chengqian's massage with peace of mind.

has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom all his life, and has seen too many deceits. He thinks that his grasp of people's hearts is not dim, and at this moment, he only feels sincerity in the prince's words.

Yang Yong, who taught first, was killed by his younger brother, and Li Jiancheng, who taught later, was also killed by his younger brother, and he also knew that his reputation was not very good, so he especially hoped that Li Chengqian would not follow in the footsteps of the two senior brothers.

Eight-year-old old, now eight-year-old prince, has shown wisdom beyond adults. There are no major shortcomings in terms of personality, although he is a little benevolent, but the emperor does not necessarily have to be ruthless to do it.

One old and one young have a massage, and the other enjoys the massage, completely forgetting the time.

Of course, they didn't know that every box of moon cakes, when they left the palace, there would be an inner house steward who stamped the seal of the inner government behind the prince's seal.

The imperial dining room has not mastered the method of making mooncakes, and now it can only bring the shadow of the palace through this method.

The Hu cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to reward hundreds of officials have been made, and in order not to waste them, they can only be sent. However, whether it is the color, fragrance, or packaging, Hu cakes cannot be compared with the moon cakes in the East Palace. Li Shimin, who had no choice but to steal his son's achievements, could only bite the bullet and plagiarize his son's achievements.

The mooncakes are finished, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held as usual in the Lizheng Palace. Combining the council hall and the banquet hall is really Li Shimin's helpless move. The palace is such a big place, and the Taiji Hall where the normal court meeting is located has been occupied by the Emperor Taishang, and there is no extra money in the inner palace to build a new palace, so it can only be done.

The feast began at the end of the day, and when all the people arrived, it was already the time of the Shen.

Li Gang rarely agreed to participate in the banquet, and the emperor also arranged his place next to Li Chengqian very intimately, so that he could be taken care of.

Putting this aside, with Li Gang's identity, no one will be unconvinced if he stays here.

Since Feng Deyu's death, Gao Shilian is the only one left in the court who can talk to the old gentleman's peers. And Gao Shilian also consciously lowered his status and respected the old gentleman as his elder.

The wine and food came up, and when he saw the four moon cakes on the plate and were sent to the table, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the method of making moon cakes has also been taken away by the imperial dining room.

There is no way to be reasonable, the emperor is Li Shimin, and the crown prince is Li Chengqian, although it is a father-son relationship, but the son has to accept the rule of his father. Although the kitchen of the East Palace is independent of the Imperial Dining Room, it is still a vassal of the Imperial Dining Room. Whatever the superior asks for from the subordinate, the subordinate must offer it unconditionally. What's more, this superior is the emperor.

In the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, the emperor issued an edict to solicit the strategy of governing the country, and Dong Zhongshu combined Confucianism with the needs of the society at that time in the famous "Countermeasures for Promoting Virtue and Virtue", and absorbed the theories of other schools of thought to create a new ideological system with Confucianism as the core, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This guy systematically put forward the theories of "heaven and man induction", "great unification" and "all those who are not in the science of the six arts and the sorcerers of Confucius are all in their own way, and do not make them go together". The idea of "overthrowing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" was adopted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, making Confucianism the orthodox ideology of Chinese society and influencing it for more than 2,000 years.

With Confucian patriarchal thought as the center, mixed with the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, the divine power, monarchical power, patriarchal power, and husband power are intertwined to form an imperial theological system. Such a center of thought is too suitable for domination.

In terms of the relationship between the imperial court, the emperor was ordered by heaven and ruled the world on behalf of the will of heaven. and the courtiers are appointed to the king, and the subordinates are appointed to the superiors; In terms of social relations, the commoners were ordered by the nobility, and the lowly were ordered by all the commoners and the nobility. In terms of family relations, wives and sons are appointed by the head of the family.

It seems that this is a good way to achieve the hierarchy and have a good impact on the internal unity, but it also invisibly restricts people's minds, so that the subordinates must do things according to the king's thoughts, and the sons must obey the teachings of their fathers. The negative impact is that the monarch is debaucherous and the country is in turmoil, and the father is stubborn, and the children do not know how to be flexible.

This goes on ....

Half a moon cake was placed in front of Li Chengqian, and Li Gang's voice rang out, waking Li Chengqian up from his thoughts.

"Boy, the old man can't eat such a big piece, so let's share it with you. Seeing that you looked at the moon cakes and fell into deep thought, tell the old man, what do you think? ”

Li Chengqian held the moon cake in his mouth and shook his head again and again.

What did you think? I can't say that I was killed!

To question Confucianism, which has been passed down for seven or eight hundred years? Don't die!

Questioning it here is like slandering God in front of Christians, well, it's cheaper to be burned at the stake.

Today's banquet Chang Sun Chong didn't come over, and when the Chongwen Pavilion is completed, this guy is going to come back to study, so he is now desperately exercising himself in the barracks. I met Li Dejian a few days ago, and the person hasn't changed much, but the fluttering summer clothes stick to the belly due to sweat, and you can clearly see eight pieces of lean meat.

They are all crazy, and after working hard in the military camp one by one, they will inevitably become bodybuilding champions.

The eldest grandson Chong was not there, so the eldest grandson Wuji gave up his position to Gao Shilian so that the two old gentlemen could talk.

Glancing at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, Gao Shilian smiled and said to Li Gang: "Shi Wuhao let the thief become a teacher, how about it, old guy, are you still satisfied with me, the prince's grandson?" ”

I couldn't see Gao Shilian's blind appearance, Li Gang glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Gao Jian, see clearly, it is the prince of the Tang Dynasty who is sitting next to the old man, you are a courtier who does not call His Royal Highness the prince, but climbs distant relatives, what kind of system!" ”

Gao Shilian didn't care at all, and laughed: "What's wrong with calling my grandson, isn't his mother called uncle in front of the old man?" My own grandson is angry, and the old man is happy, what's the matter! ”

Li Gang pouted: "Then he is also a member of the Li family, not surnamed your family!" ”

Gao Shilian: "...."

....

The two respected old men seemed to have a tendency to quarrel, but whether it was Li Chengqian on the left or the eldest grandson Wuji on the right, they all tilted their heads to the side and had nothing to do with themselves. They are not qualified to participate in such a high-level quarrel, if they are forcibly dragged into it, they will only be scolded and bloody, and they will not be able to fight back.

But fortunately, the golden bell rang, and the two emperors entered, and the hundred officials and princes had to be solemn.

Raising the wine glass, Li Shimin said in a high spirit: "Ladies and gentlemen, you love Qing, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no disaster around my Datang, and most of the people from the Son of Heaven to the common people can be reunited." Let's drink and celebrate the festive season together! ”

The emperor raised his glass, and everyone below raised his glass as well.

Unlike the New Year's Banquet, the right side should have been the seat of the imperial family, but at this time, only a few people occupied it. At this time, there were many courtiers in the main hall, and even the old cow, who rarely participated in the palace banquet, got a position.

Seeing that few children appeared here, Li Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't drink anymore, and sat behind the emperor's wide table, quietly acting as a wooden man.

From the position of the table, you can also see the change in his status now.

At the time of the New Year's banquet, his table was still on the left of Li Shimin, slightly forward. But now, he was on the right side of the emperor, and the table was slanted, like a wine accompaniment more than like an emperor.

Knowing that the relationship between father and son is not very good, so those who see this are silent.

Just like at the New Year's Banquet, there are beautiful dancers wearing long-sleeved clothes and dancing soft hypnotic dances.

The so-called Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is actually a meal for the official family. If they were all generals, it would be better, and they would be tired of drinking, and the two of them would have a fight. But this is a banquet where civil and military forces gather, and they will be scolded for playing with knives, so several generals drink and eat meat as they should. Even the most noisy Cheng Biting Jin just fought with the left and right, and he didn't bother with one of them.

Such a banquet is inevitably a bit monotonous, so at the end of the table, a Wenchen walked out and saluted the emperor through the dancing girl.

Finally waiting to come out to liven up the atmosphere, Li Shimin smiled slightly, asked the dancers to step aside, and asked, "He Aiqing, you stand up and want to write a poem for the festival?" ”

He Changzong, although he is just an inconspicuous petty official, but in Li Shimin's eyes, the court officials have nothing to do with the size of the officials, and the names and information of each one are in his mind.

He Changzong saluted again: "Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Weichen is willing to write a poem to cheer up His Majesty and colleagues: "Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival cool night, reunion and good festival." The world celebrates the day, and the monarchs and ministers take a short break. ”

After reading, He Changzong knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor's reward.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and reviewed the poem, although the artistic conception was a bit child's play, and the wording and sentence arrangement were not very good, but the last sentence "The monarch and the minister took a short break" compared with the previous sentence describing the festival, highlighting the diligence of the court monarchs and ministers on weekdays. Although the poem is not very dripping, he is quite comfortable to shoot this sycophant.

Nodding with satisfaction, Li Shimin smiled: "Aiqing's poem, um.... It's not bad, you've been in the Imperial History Terrace for three years, so I'll transfer you to the Ministry of Officials to exercise, if so..."

Before the emperor's words were finished, two opposing voices appeared below:

"Your Majesty, wait!"

"Father, slow down!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but choke back his stomach when he was about to say what he was about to say. Looking down, I saw that Wei Zheng and the crown prince both stood up.

Wei Zheng just wanted to speak, but when he saw that the prince had also come out, he could only retreat first.

Li Chengqian glanced at the old gentleman behind him helplessly, and said stubbornly: "Father, He Yushi has a poem to offer, and his sons are also willing to give a poem, please taste it!" ”

Hearing that the prince was going to write a poem, the officials suddenly became interested. It is said that the prince is a hundred times smarter than ordinary people, and today he wants to see and learn.

If his son wants to perform, Li Shimin does not object.

interrupted earlier, I'm afraid this kid wants to compare with He Changzong.

With such thoughts, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you can read it." Most of the court's scholars are famous people who are rich in five cars, and they can also comment on one or two for you. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and only after searching his stomach did he find a suitable ancient poem that could be used for plagiarism: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Erchen suddenly remembered the feeling of seeing the full moon in the sky during the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, so he pretended to write a poem "Moon", and offered it ugly: the hour does not know the moon, and it is called a white jade plate. and suspicious Yaotai mirror, flying in the blue clouds. ”

After reading it, Li Chengqian straightened his waist and made a square stroke.
