Chapter 31: Meet Li Shimin
Rewrote a new pair of words to Chu Suiliang, and Du Chengfeng hurried to the Ganlu Hall under the leadership of Chu Suiliang.
"Your Majesty, Du Chengfeng is already waiting outside the palace." The eunuch next to him reminded.
"Let him in." Li Shimin said. I don't know why, there is still a trace of surprise and expectation in his heart.
Du Chengfeng generously raised his feet and stepped into the Ganlu Palace, glancing at the place where Li Shimin worked and slept. suppressed the curiosity in his heart and the desire to visit, waved his hand at Li Shimin, and said calmly: "Du Chengfeng, a villager in the mountains and fields, sees the emperor. ”
"Bold, the villagers in the mountains and fields still don't kneel down when they see the emperor, and they have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard!" Before Li Shimin could speak, the eunuch next to him actually reprimanded Du Chengfeng on his own.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry, and Li Shimin summoned him. Li Shimin, as the main master, had not even spoken, and the eunuch on the side actually put up a shelf. Is this a disgrace for yourself or ......? A little eunuch who gave him the courage to dare to brush his superiority in front of the emperor.
Du Chengfeng frowned when he heard this, he was very displeased, his heart was inexplicably angry, his eyes were squinting and murderous, and he stared coldly at the eunuch who was speaking, with an indifferent expression.
The eunuch who spoke was horrified by Du Chengfeng's murderous eyes, shuddered, and shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak again.
He seemed to have a feeling that if he said one more word, Du Chengfeng might kill him, this was a terrible teenager.
Li Shimin and Chu Suiliang next to them were also shocked by Du Chengfeng's eyes.
Li Shimin fought in thousands of troops, and he asked himself that he had never seen such a terrifying look as Du Chengfeng in so many years.
What kind of demon is this Du Chengfeng, and the eyes containing the essence of murder make Li Shimin, the emperor in a high position, uneasy.
Needless to say, Chu Suiliang was already shocked into a cold sweat. He was just a civilian official who had never been on the battlefield, and he had never seen such a terrible scene. I felt that the air was cold and whizzing, and it was very oppressive.
When the three of them went to Du Chengfeng's house to ask for calligraphy before, Du Chengfeng's manners were easy-going and witty, and he taught the three of them calligraphy even more.
But in this instant, Du Chengfeng seemed to have completely changed his appearance, like a killing god who had just come down from the battlefield.
Li Shimin was a little drumming in his heart, this Du Chengfeng seemed far from being so simple, and the information of the Baiqi Division now seemed to be useless at all.
As if the air was frozen, Du Chengfeng stared at the mouthy eunuch for a long time, and did not speak. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
"Retreat and get the twenty boards yourself!" Li Shimin shouted coldly at the mouthy eunuch.
Oh, it's not a loss that the person sitting on the dragon chair turned his mind very quickly, this is borrowing the donkey from the slope for the eunuch in disguise. Du Chengfeng slandered.
The eunuch who spoke had to lower his head and slowly retreated, and went to receive the punishment himself.
"Come, give me a seat!" Li Shimin said without changing his face, as if the episode just now had not happened.
Hearing this, two more eunuchs carried a chair that was not like a chair and a couch and moved behind Du Chengfeng, Du Chengfeng sat down casually and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor Xie." ”
As for Chu Suiliang, he was still standing beside Du Chengfeng, looking uneasy. He wanted to leave, but without the emperor's will, how could he, a small civil official, dare to retire privately.
After Du Chengfeng sat down, Li Shimin's face changed, and he said straight to the point: "Du Chengfeng, I have seen your Man Jianghong and know that you are a person with great ambitions, but I gave up the opportunity for the head of the Chang'an Poetry Club to enter the official career, why is this?" ”
"Your Majesty, participating in the poetry meeting is just an occasional occurrence, not an opportunity for the so-called rewards and recommendations, and the kid still disdains to use this method to gain fame." Du Chengfeng explained lightly.
This explanation is still acceptable to Li Shimin, and Du Chengfeng's arrogance was known to Li Shimin when Li Xiaogong came with rice seeds.
Even so, Li Shimin still felt sorry, aside from the unfriendly behavior of the eunuch just now, Li Shimin was still very interested in Du Chengfeng.
"Du Chengfeng, I appreciate your talent, your calligraphy, and your ambition. If you have such profound talents and learning, and you don't use them to serve the court and the people, isn't it against the original intention of the teacher who taught you knowledge? Looking at Du Chengfeng, whose expression was flat, Li Shimin could only induce him earnestly.
He hoped that standing in the general righteousness could make Du Chengfeng's mind change, in his opinion, Du Chengfeng was only a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and his heart could not be very firm.
It's just that Li Shimin could never have imagined that Du Chengfeng's head lives in a modern soul that has gone through countless bullets and bullets. The degree of firmness of mind and mind is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Du Chengfeng showed an intriguing smile and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there are many ways to serve the court and the people, and you don't have to be an official to serve the people. How does the emperor know that he can't serve the court and the people in the people? In fact, many people are officials, why don't they eat vegetarian meals all day long? ”
"This ......" Li Shimin wanted to refute it, but he was speechless when he thought about it.
Du Chengfeng then said: "Your Majesty, the so-called speed is not enough. The emperor only saw the kid for the first time today, and he was not very familiar with the boy's behavior and character. is in a hurry to let the kid enter the career, don't you think it's a bit too hasty and arbitrary? ”
"Well, I'm a little anxious." Li Shimin's face softened for a moment, and then he changed the topic and asked: "Du Chengfeng, I am very curious about the remarks you said to Lord Yu in the house: everyone is equal and fraternal, there is no male superiority and female inferiority, and there is no distinction between master and servant, I don't know if you can explain it to me." ”
"Your Majesty, everyone is born the same, it doesn't matter who is superior to whom. It's just that everyone has different circumstances in different circumstances, so they should not be discriminated against. ”
"Equality of all people is the foundation of social harmony, and without this foundation, there will be conflict, and the conflict will become bigger and bigger, and the society will be in turmoil. Everything should be people-oriented, and only by adhering to the people-oriented purpose can society develop more smoothly. ”
As for the inferiority of men and the inferiority of women, this concept comes from the concept of Confucius. But in fact, everyone misunderstood the original intention of Confucius, so that it turned into an antagonistic relationship with false rumors. Greatness is like a breeder, where does it come from inferiority? Du Chengfeng replied calmly.
It was the first time for Li Shimin to hear such a novel, bold but philosophical statement. Du Chengfeng's words are like an alarm bell, and they are thought-provoking.
