The people in the East Palace were so trained by Li Chengqian's new thought that they had nothing to say, you must know that the Tang people were not good at debating in the first place, and they only read the scriptures, and did not interpret the scriptures. The ministers often debated that the Ming Dynasty, which did not begin until the Song Dynasty, flourished at its peak.

Such a person can only disarm and surrender when he encounters *** Xiongwen.

Li Chengqian talked for a long time, and everyone was still slowly digesting, Xiao Yu thought for a long time and still said with some doubts: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Confucius, once said: 'A gentleman is not worried about the Tao and does not eat. "Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a lot about the food and clothing of the small people, isn't this ......?"

It is obvious that Li Chengqian's approach is different from Confucius's speech, but Xiao Yu can't open his eyes and say nonsense that Li Chengqian is doing something wrong.

Li Chengqian will not tell him, what Confucius said can be interpreted as: The king does not worry about himself, but worries about the people!

Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Yu, who was a little dull, with a smile and asked, "What does Mrs. Xiao think the Lone King has done these days?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son, and he can personally lead the people down the river to fish without fear of hardships and dangers, and now he is considering a long-term strategy for them, which can be described as protecting the people like a son and a parent of the people, which is all done by sages."

"But these practices of the lonely king are obviously different from the Tao of Confucius!" Li Chengqian continued to mention.

"How could it be ......" Xiao Yu couldn't speak.

When Li Chengqian saw that Xiao Yu was confused, he hurriedly mentioned it.

"Mrs. Xiao is very knowledgeable, and he should write an article to refute some mistakes in the Analects, so as not to leave endless troubles."

"Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approve it in the "Notes on the Four Books"?" Hao Chujun remembered Li Chengqian's "Notes on the Collection of Four Books", and his heart was filled with regret, at that time everyone only said that this was work on paper, but listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's discussion just now, it was clearly in line with "Mencius" that "a book of faith is better than no book"

Hao Chujun thought of this and before he could speak, he saw Yan Shigu shaking his head and saying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's grand treatise today is in line with what Mencius said: 'It is better to believe in a book than to have no book', as long as this article is polished, it will be a brilliant treatise." ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect their brain replenishment ability to be so strong, but when he heard that they wanted to polish it, he moved in his heart that this article is to teach people how to do things, why not let them polish and engrave it and send it to all officials, and also teach them to do things, even if it is useless for the current officials, when the East Palace recruits a large number of scholars to repair books next year, they can also educate them.

"Mr. Yan is right, Master Xu, you will polish one or two for the Lone King, and then engrave it and send it to internal and external officials for them to read it well."

Li Chengqian still does not know that his move has changed a tradition in China that has lasted for thousands of years. It turned out that the ministers gave the emperor and the crown prince a feast, and Li Chengqian is now the minister of education in turn, but because this article is really good, even Xiao Yu did not raise any objections.

After the things were arranged here, Li Chengqian took the carriage back to the East Palace.

As soon as Li Chengqian arrived at the Lizheng Palace, he came to report Qiu's achievements and asked to see him.

Qiu Shenji has been in charge of the intelligence of the East Palace these days, so no matter how busy Li Chengqian is, he stays in the capital and pays attention to the movements of all parties at any time.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian saw the thin and tall Qiu Shenji saluting meticulously with a wooden face, nodded and said, "What's the news?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, and accept 1,000 taels of gold from Zheng Hui, the son of Cui Renshi, in the matter." Qiu Shenji said calmly.

"Is there any evidence?" Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Nope." Qiu Shenji shook his head calmly.

"Why did you take it?"

Zheng Hui, the assassin of Bian Zhou, was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, and helped his in-law Zhang Mufeng rob Xu Shouchang, a large family in Bianzhou, of 10,000 acres of fertile land on the edge of the Yellow River. Xu Shouchang's son Xu Hongshen killed Li Shi'er at the door of Li Shi'er's house with a sharp weapon, and then went to the yamen to surrender.

This incident caused a sensation in Bian Zhou, Zheng Hui did not dare to openly put Xu Hong in prison, so he wrote to the court to ask for a decision, and then gave Cui Ru a thousand taels of gold, and asked Cui Renshi to give him a punishment.

Cui Renshi said in the book: Xu Hong should be beheaded for murder, but he is avenging his father, so after beheading Xu Hong, he should set up a memorial arch in front of Xu Hong's house for commendation. ”

"Is such a confused case accurate?" Li Chengqian couldn't believe his own ears, is Cui Renshi a fool when he is someone else?

"It's already." The order was sent to Bian Zhou yesterday.

"What? It's nonsense! Li Chengqian was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Immediately send someone to the Criminal Department to pass on King Gu's order: This case will be retried by King Lone.

Then he sent someone to Bian Zhou to bring Xu Hong to Chang'an, and King Gu wanted to try the case in person.

I also have to go to the Ministry of Officials to check, how can the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang be officials in Bian Zhou, which is so close at hand?"

"Your Honor!"

Li Chengqian was in a hurry to make so many orders, but Qiu Shenji was still as calm as ever, and secretly said in his heart: It seems that he is really a material for intelligence work.

Qiu Shenji saluted and turned to go out, Li Chengqian was still angry, and turned back to the old ghost and said: "Old ghost, you go to see the doctor and tell him about it, and ask him to write a song and ask Cui Renshi: Is Li Shi'er killing Xu Shouchang because Xu Shouchang violated the law and should have been killed, if so, then Xu Hong's killing of Li Shi'er to avenge his father is to kill the court's tolerance with the personal vendetta of criminals, and there is no forgiveness and no commendation."

If Li Shi'er relied on the power of the government to disregard people's lives, then Li Shi'er was a murderer, and Xu Hong's killing of him was a great righteousness, and he should only be commended and not sentenced.

Sentencing, law also; commendation, courtesy; I have the unity of law and etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, and those who have not been sentenced should still be commended, and those who should not be commended should still be punished, otherwise the law and etiquette will clash with each other, and the law should be revised. ”

-------------------

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was half-lying on the recliner and held two copies of the recital, one was written by Cui Renshi and the other was written by Zhu Suiliang. ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji said lightly: "Naturally, it is very good, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to Bian Zhou to ask Xu Hong to come to Beijing for interrogation." ”

"The prince can be so good, I am very relieved!" Li Shimin felt that Li Chengqian was good at everything he did in the past two days.

"Your Majesty, don't you think the crown prince has changed a little bit recently?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but say, he really couldn't figure out in his heart, how could Li Chengqian suddenly become so powerful.

Li Shimin was displeased when he heard this: "What has changed, Chengqian has been smart since he was a child. After a pause, he continued: "The Taoist sect told me, and Cheng Qian told him and Mao Gong that day that it was Guanyin who told him to keep up in the East Palace, just because he was afraid that he would clash with me when he was older...... Li Shimin said and sighed again.

Changgu Wuji thought that his sister, who had been dependent on him since he was a child, was also sad, and he even had a little bit of a good impression of Li Chengqian.

After a while, Li Shimin took out another manuscript and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji, who took it and saw that it was written:

The eldest grandson Wuji is the crown prince, Xiao Yu is the prince and the prince, Li Shichang is Zhan Shi, Li Daliang, the general of the left guard, leads the right guard, the left guard Zhonglang will Su Dingfang as the left guard, the former Zhan Shi Yu Zhining, the Zhongshu waiter Ma Zhou is the left concubine, the servant of the Ministry Su Miao, and the Zhongshu Sheren Gao Jifu are the right concubines, and the criminal department waiter Zhang Xing becomes the Shao Zhan Shi, and the doctor Chu Suiliang is the guest.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew in his heart that Li Shimin had finally made a move to stabilize the East Palace, and the battle for the crown prince in the past few years was over.
