Chapter 243: The Prince's Apprenticeship
In fact, the farther south he goes, the worse his combat effectiveness will be, because the weather in the north is very cold, the wind and snow are all over the sky, and it will be difficult for people to survive if they are not strong, but once a person is strong, his strength will become greater, and when the little thing in the ground is not enough for him to feed himself, he will think of robbing, and the object of robbery is of course those docile lambs in the south, but the south is different, if the people there are thirsty, there are countless clear springs on the ground to quench their thirst, if they are hungry, they only need to raise their arms to pick countless delicious fruits, in Datang, The expensive plantain is just food for monkeys there, and the difference in living environment has led to the gap between the combat power of the north and the south. These are Li Jun's words to persuade Li Moyue.
In addition to Li Moyue, there is also an observer, this person is Fu Nian who has just entered Beijing, Fu Nian can not give face to the servant, but he can't help but give Xiao Ting's face, and Xiao Ting is the national abbot, instead of his nephew to invite the teacher, Yu Gong and private Fu Nian have no reason to refuse, so Fu Nian followed Xiao Ting back to Beijing.
After Li Moyue left with peace of mind, Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Haha, Master Fu has been in Lingnan for a long time, I don't know what I think of what I just said?" ”
Fu Nian arched his hand to Li Jun and said: "Your Majesty's words are penetrating, the old minister admires, but Your Majesty only knows one and doesn't know the other, the environment in Lingnan is not so good, there are many dragons (crocodiles) swaying by the pond in Lingnan, and there are huge pythons lying in the jungle, as well as tigers, leopards and other pests, so many Lingnan people that the minister has seen are born hunters, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. ”
"What Master Fu said is very reasonable, of course I will not divide the north and the south, as long as it is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, whether he is in the south or the north, I will treat them equally, in fact, what I said just now was also said to me by the merchants." Li Jun snorted and said.
"Your Majesty, you are the most noble person in the world, and you are also the arbiter of this country, please Your Majesty must not listen to the words of the family, especially the merchants, the merchants have valued profits and separated from each other since ancient times, and in their eyes it is easier for the south to get rich, but they do not know that they have made the wealth of the people and the people, so the ministers dare to ask Your Majesty, do not let the merchants defile this holy place of the court." Fu Nian bluntly admonished.
Li Jun replied embarrassedly: "I have written down this Fu Shi's advice. ”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Jun didn't expect that his nonsense caused Fu Nian to make such a statement, and now seeing that Fu Nian didn't mean to be unforgiving, Li Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jun coughed and continued: "Master Fu, I heard that you put forward the concept of "unity of knowledge and action" in Lingnan, you might as well talk about it with me if you have time today. ”
"Since His Majesty wants to hear, the minister will be ugly, when the minister first arrived in Lingnan, only full of knowledge, when a disciple is going to die, the minister has no way at all, the minister at that time only found that the knowledge he learned is useless, after the painful experience, the minister put forward this concept, the minister felt that the truth of understanding things and the application of this truth in reality, is inseparable. Knowledge refers to conscience, action refers to human practice, the unity of knowledge and action, neither to know to swallow and act, to think that knowledge is to do, nor to do to annex knowledge, think that action is knowledge......" Fu Nian gushed endlessly.
Li Jun was also fascinated by what he heard, and Fu Nian's theory was very close to the "unity of knowledge and action" proposed by Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty, which advocated that readers should not read to death, but to be good at using the principles in the book.
Fu Nian said for half an hour before he finished explaining, Li Jun waited for Fu Nian to finish drinking a cup of tea before he asked with a smile: "This concept of Fu Shi is very much in line with my intentions, I have a trouble now, and I still need Fu Shi to get an idea for me?" ”
"Your Majesty, please say that this is the duty of the minister." Fu Nian replied with confidence.
Although Fu Nian is now a great grandmaster, even a great grandmaster can't avoid this kind of thing.
Li Jun sighed and said: "This matter is very important, it is about the scientific examination of talents, the current imperial examination of the words of the sage, arithmetic, law, current affairs and policy, recently, some officials in the Jiangnan and Huguang regions have jointly written to let me take more of the words of the sage, and reduce the proportion of the other three subjects in the imperial examination, if there are two people, I will laugh at it, but recently I have received dozens of the same letter, the country and the dynasty for the country, take the herdsman official, is a person who can do things for the country in a down-to-earth manner, Those who talk about it don't take it, but now that the public opinion is like this, what should I do? ”
"Hmph, the ministers have also heard about this matter, the scholars in the Huguang and Jiangnan regions are the best at empty talk, so they can't pass the northern scholars in the imperial examination, that's the right reason, this doesn't blame others, it's their skills that are not as good as others, so please Your Majesty hand over these twists and turns to the ministers, and the ministers will definitely refute them one by one, so that they can be convinced." Fu Nian snorted coldly.
Li Jun nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his hands, and He Shen immediately walked over with a bunch of folds and handed them to Fu Nian.
Fu Nian looked at the names on these folds, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, these people are all Confucian people, in fact, from the beginning, Fu Nian had this premonition in his heart, because the best at empty talk are Confucian people.
Fu Nian secretly looked at Li Jun, and found that Li Jun's face was unharmed, so he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, just listen to the good news of the minister, and the minister will retire." ”
Li Jun smiled and said, "Wait, Mr. Fu, you finally entered the palace and drank your disciple's Jingshi tea before leaving." ”
Fu Nian sat down again, touched his beard and said, "It should be so." ”
Li Jun gave He Shen an order, He Shen left with a smile, and soon Li Chengtang, who was dressed in a gown, was brought over by He Shen, Li Chengtang was more than three years old, with red lips and white teeth, tiger head and tiger brain, very cute.
Li Chengtang first gave Li Jun a salute, Li Jun waved his hand, Li Chengtang obediently sat next to Li Jun, Li Jun looked at his son dotingly and said: "Master Fu, my original plan was to let the prince go to the Royal Academy and the Eagle Camp after the age of three, but Master Yang said that His Royal Highness the Prince is still young, and now it is harmful to go to the Royal Academy, it is not too late to wait until he is ten years old, and then I also agreed, after all, the prince is different." ”
"What Master Yang said is extremely true, what the prince needs now is to form a character, what he needs is to be taught by a famous teacher, and he is old at the age of three, and the minister thinks that this is true." Fu Nian arched his hand.
Li Jun nodded and said, "Then please ask Master Fu." ”
Then he said to Li Chengtang and Yan Yue: "Tang'er, take this cup of tea and pay tribute to Mr. ”
Li Chengtang obediently came to Fu Nian's side and said, "Sir, please drink tea." ”
Fu Nian smiled like a spring breeze, helped Li Chengtang up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, how about the ministers come to study with you tomorrow?" ”
"Haha, okay, I want to ride a big horse." Li Chengtang said in a milky voice.
Fu Nian smiled bitterly: "You can't ride a horse, tomorrow I will teach you how to write the word "horse"?" Okay? ”
Li Chengtang thought about it for a while and nodded, "Okay then." ”
Li Jun watched the interaction between the master and apprentice, and he was also relieved, it seems that Fu Nian is still very experienced in how to get along with children.
