It was another morning of class, Fang Chen took Li Tai and his companion Yan Wuwu to the Taiji Palace, at this time Li Yuan was directing everywhere and arranging people to place seats.

"What are you doing, sir?"

Li Yuanle said: "I teach you today, the six arts of a gentleman, and a book!" ”

Book? Calligraphy? As soon as he heard these two words, Fang Chen was a little big, he had never touched it at all, and if he gave him a brush, it would be good to be able to write a word that others knew.

"You kid, don't take it to heart, do you know why this book can be ranked among the six arts of a gentleman?"

Fang Chen was surprised: "Could it be that there is any metaphor in this?" ”

"Hmph, rebel, listen up! Books have the purpose of writing, learning words, literacy, the ancients entered school at the age of eight, so Zhou Guanbao was in charge of the country, teaching six books, pictograms, elephants, images, images, sounds, transfers, pretenses, and the book of words! ”

Fang Chen still thought that he was just practicing calligraphy? Unexpectedly, this also included the ability to make words, but it made him a little curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask sir, how to interpret pictograms?" ”

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, what he likes most about this kid is that he is studious, but unfortunately, he has his own insistence on calligraphy, and he is reluctant to touch it.

Li Yuan didn't know that there was another meaning to this matter, every stroke of Fang Chen's hard pen when he was a child came from his mother's teachings.

No one knows how a woman who is accustomed to calligraphy can re-learn hard pen characters, and how much suffering she has suffered.

He wants to keep the few memory points in his heart, and he must not easily erase them.

"Yu'er, calligraphy can distinguish the nature of others, a good calligraphy, this person must be a person who cultivates his mind, if he is a sinister person, his temperament is difficult to determine, and he can't practice a good calligraphy."

"What if there were exceptions, sir?"

"Kill! The exceptions are definitely traitors and evildoers, and those who stay will have endless troubles. ”

The Li family's habit of killing people is innate, from Li Shimin to Li Yuan, they all kill without saying a word.

Fang Chen didn't think about it, he seemed to be like this, his heart was extremely domineering, only in front of his family, he seemed peaceful.

After talking about the six books, Li Yuan taught calligraphy again, and this time, Fang Chen didn't want to continue learning.

"Sir, students want to learn the books of the six arts, not calligraphy!"

Li Yuan had no choice but to follow Fang Chen's wishes, and if there was a chance in the future, he would always make this kid willing to learn.

"Well, let's get here first, and after lunch, I will teach you the last of the six arts of the gentleman, which is also called arithmetic."

Fang Chen then shook his head, "I will, sir, why don't you teach something else?" ”

"Will you? Binh Duong has never learned, who taught you? Could it be that you have read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and studied "I Ching"? ”

I Ching? Isn't it just counting? I have memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table, what does the I Ching have to do with arithmetic? Fang Chen really didn't know that the number in the six arts is not only the meaning of mathematics, but also humanistic changes and the promise of nature.

The moment Fang Chen first knew, he was very suspicious that those fortune tellers in Datang ran to tell fortunes because they failed the imperial examination. That's right! It seems that the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty has not yet been perfected, and it is still only a framework for learning the Sui Dynasty.

But the current situation is a bit embarrassing, you can't really say that you will, right? In case Li Yuan has a question, he can't answer it, how embarrassing will he be?

"Sir, I'm hungry!"

Okay, Li Yuan's other questions were all in his stomach, "Damn minion, why don't you go and prepare a meal for my beloved disciple?" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly ran to make arrangements, and Li Tai next to him squeezed to Fang Chen's side and asked, "Second brother, have you really learned the Book of Changes and the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic?" ”

Fang Chen hurriedly shook his head, "No." ”

Li Tai's suspicious gaze stopped at him, and a full six seconds passed, "What are you going to eat at noon today?" ”

Fang Chen was embarrassed, this little pig, he almost thought he had found something.

"I don't know, let's look at the arrangement of the imperial dining room."

"Second brother, can you let them do something special tonight?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Last time.... Burst.. Popcorn? ”

It's the kind of rice that bursts out, because Datang doesn't smoke, and he can't drink at this age, so he often makes some snacks with his mouth, but he didn't expect to be remembered by Li Taike.

"Would you just send someone to say no?"

Li Tai snorted: "You two cooks, who can assign them except you?" The other cooks wouldn't dare to do it without their instructions! ”

Fang Chen smiled bitterly: "I'll let someone arrange it, okay?" ”

Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, the world is big, eat the biggest, only food and food, you can't live up to it!

As the days passed, Fang Chen was also constantly making progress and growing.

The etiquette of the Tang Dynasty has been kept in mind by him, and he has a clearer understanding and cognition of how to deal with people in this era.

About seven months later, winter goes to spring, spring hides summer solstice, and on this day when it turns from summer to autumn, a news shocked the entire Datang, this year's drought has halved the harvest!

Not only that, but the states in Guanzhong even said that locusts are raging.

At the same time, the eldest grandson queen was about to give birth, and Fang Chen and Li Tai had been with each other almost every day for the past few days, not leaving an inch, for fear that the queen would miss half a point.

Above the court, there were several more lines on the corners of Li Shimin's eyebrows, and the official documents of the past few days made people sleepless at night, and they were really a little flustered.

The locust plague covered thirteen state capitals and nearly 400,000 people were killed.

"Your Majesty, the Liang division refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and even took advantage of the disaster of the drought to lead the troops to invade Lingzhou again, and the guard general Lin Xingcang led the troops to resist to the death and forced them back!"

"What are the casualties?"

"Your Majesty, Lingzhou Guard General Lin Xingcang said in his letter that there is not one out of ten out of five thousand defenders!"

"How can this be true, Chai Shao! Xue Wanche! ”

The two of them came out of the queue and knelt on one knee, "The minister is here!" ”

"Bring 30,000 troops, and get the head of Liang Shidu for me!"

"Wait, obey!"

Chai Shao and Xue Wanche received the order, and Li Jing on the side hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Master Liang is a Turkic lackey, so you have to guard against it!" ”

A sinister smile flashed on Li Shimin's face, "This matter is simple, if they dare to send troops, I will cut off the business road!" ”

Fang Chen's "pig raising" plan was carried out in an orderly manner, and now the Turks did not say that they were friendly to Datang, but they were much calmer.

Last year, the snow-capped mountains were difficult, and this year there are no troops to attack.

In addition to Li Shimin, who participated in this matter, there were also major families, one by one, they ate a mouthful of oil, and there were too many Turkic horses, cattle and sheep! In just half a year, Li Shimin got nearly 8,000 horses, and there were countless cattle and sheep.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt unstable, and said again: "Qin Qiong! ”

"The minister is here!" Qin Qiong hurriedly came out of the ranks.

"Lead 10,000 troops to garrison Lingzhou to prevent Turkic reinforcements!"

"Minister, obey!"

Originally, it shouldn't have been Qin Qiong's turn to do this, after all, Qin Qiong was already unsealable, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that Li Shimin had other plans.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen mother is about to give birth!"

Liu Sancheng ran into the hall in a panic, and Li Shimin was immediately startled and shouted: "Scatter the dynasty!" ”

The hundred officials have not retreated, and they have to wait, waiting for a news.

For example, more than ten people such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others have already followed Li Shimin and rushed to the harem.

When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Fang Chen was shouting outside the door.

"Wash it with boiling water and then give it to the mother, if something goes wrong, I can't get around you!"

A little adult, in fact, in Kunning Palace, he is equivalent to half of the master.
