Chapter 81: Fooling Li Shimin
After listening to Du Chengfeng's words, Li Shimin's mind suddenly brightened, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Du Chengfeng's earnest remarks to the scholars undoubtedly pointed out a correct direction for many dazed readers.
"So that's what you really wanted to do when you created the Free Academy?" Li Shimin asked as if he had an understanding.
"Yes, the emperor, open up the wisdom of the people and finally let everyone in the world can read. That's what I'm really trying to do, and that's my dream. ”
Du Chengfeng looked into the distance and said impassionedly, his tone full of firmness.
Whether it is for the people of Datang or for his future goals, or maybe for his endless prestige in the future, Du Chengfeng will stick to this matter.
I don't know which great man once said: The only way out for the poor (country) is through education.
Du Chengfeng's soul comes from modern times, but now he has truly integrated himself into this era.
As a person with the soul of modern advanced thoughts, Du Chengfeng feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility and obligation.
Coupled with the existence of the system, Du Chengfeng felt that he was even more responsible.
Universal education is to improve the people's awareness and quality, and the people are the cornerstone of social development. It is the grassroots force that improves productivity and economic development.
The Tang Dynasty now seems to be very powerful and wealthy on the surface, but these are limited to the imperial court and the nobility of the family.
The vast majority of the people are still hovering on the food and clothing line because of years of war, and there are even many people who can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, let alone any surplus.
Li Shimin felt that he had to re-examine the young man in front of him.
"Du Chengfeng, your mind and ambition make me admire it very much. I want to be like you, but it's obviously not something that can be done overnight. Li Shimin said with emotion.
Du Chengfeng nodded in agreement, pouted and said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And isn't there still an emperor? Doesn't the emperor want the Tang Dynasty to be prosperous and powerful? ”
Du Chengfeng suddenly smiled meaningfully, with a strange expression.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and his expression was a little strange.
Suddenly, as if he understood something, he said loudly and angrily: "Okay, you Du Chengfeng, I rumored that you entered the palace to ask you for questioning, but you aroused me!" ”
Although Li Shimin pretended to be angry, he was actually quite happy in his heart.
If Du Chengfeng's goal can be achieved, it will be a good thing for him to live for generations, and it can also disintegrate the influence of the family in the court step by step.
"Ahh Wouldn't the emperor be willing? Well, as long as I didn't say, the emperor, I'll go first. Du Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, bowed his body, and turned around to leave the Manna Palace.
Du Chengfeng has keen eyes and careful thoughts, but he has been quietly paying attention to Li Shimin's eyes when he speaks.
Li Shimin's little caution had already been seen through by him, how could he be easily bluffed by Li Shimin. 62
If you change to an ordinary courtier, you may still be shocked by Li Shimin's words, and you will be in a trance.
But who is Du Chengfeng? Du Chengfeng is destined to be a person who does great things, a person who has received modern advanced ideological education, there is no dignity and humility in his heart, and everyone is equal.
Even Li Shimin and Du Chengfeng respected him as one of the few enlightened emperors in history, so he always maintained a respectful attitude.
However, he also knows very well that as long as he is an emperor, he will have some careful thoughts and means, which is the imperial power technique.
"Stop!" Just when Du Chengfeng turned around and was about to leave the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin suddenly shouted, "What is the place where you are in the palace, can you come and leave as you want?" ”
"Is there anything else the emperor has to do?" Du Chengfeng continued to pretend to be stupid.
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, took two steps towards Du Chengfeng, his face sank and said with a slight anger: "You talked a lot about your so-called new education, but I didn't see anything substantial, how did you let me cooperate with you?" ”
Oh! Co-author Li Shimin regarded his remarks as empty words.
Sure enough, it is not the emperor, and the speed of changing his face is comparable to that of a woman in love.
Du Chengfeng took out some materials from his arms that he had sorted out overnight, including: enlightenment textbooks such as the Three Character Classic, Disciple Rules, classic fables, and Chinese pinyin and simplified Chinese annotations that had been read by several of the four great talents before.
Considering that it is now the Tang Dynasty, Du Chengfeng deleted some of the history since the Tang Dynasty in the Three Character Classic.
Some controversial and anachronistic sentences in the disciple rules have also been eliminated and modified, so as to make them more in line with Du Chengfeng's educational philosophy and the social situation in the Tang Dynasty, so as to remove the dross and take its essence.
Of course, many of the core ideas in the disciple rules were born from the Confucian principle of filial piety and benevolence, so Du Chengfeng did not kill many of the Confucian theories and ideas with a stick.
On the contrary, Confucianism has undeniably its own uniqueness in the aspect of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, otherwise it would not be possible to be regarded as a classic by many people of insight in modern society.
Du Chengfeng handed over all the textbooks and materials to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, this is some enlightenment textbooks and a new type of writing and annotations that I sorted out overnight, and the emperor may wish to make a decision after reading it." ”
"As for mathematics, I believe that the king of Hejian County should have been submitted to the emperor, and there are some education plans that I am still sorting out because of time constraints."
With expectation and curiosity, Li Shimin took Du Chengfeng's textbook and read it.
In just a moment, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a strange luster, and his face showed a look of joy and excitement from time to time.
Although many of the core ideas of the disciple rules modified by Du Chengfeng are still Confucian, they are more concise and easy to understand.
In just over 1,000 words, it clearly describes the rules and norms that people should abide by at home, when they go out, when they treat others, when they receive things and when they study. The writing is natural and smooth, unpretentious yet thought-provoking.
The three-character classic is a model of materials, three words and one sentence are catchy and easy to remember, including the literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography of traditional Chinese culture, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, etc., and the core idea includes "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, filial piety." ”
While reciting the Three Character Classic, you will understand common sense, traditional Chinese culture and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and work in the connotation of the story.
And the various folk classic fables sorted out by Du Chengfeng are not many words but concise, and each one contains profound truths. It has a good educational significance as an enlightenment textbook.
"Good! It's just great! The three enlightenment textbooks are all incisive, concise and appalling, what a strange book for the ages! Li Shimin's eyes lit up, excited and excited.
