Chapter 6 Duhe, the Concert and the Teacher's Sayings
Li Chengqian's first day in Datang was a day of lying in bed and thinking to himself.
The next day, when Li Chengqian had breakfast, someone brought a set of rosewood tables and chairs, because there were no carvings on the urgent tables and chairs that Li Chengqian wanted, which looked particularly simple and heavy.
As soon as Li Chengqian asked people to be placed in the Lizheng Palace, someone rumored that Du He, the commander of the horses, had come.
Li Chengqian has been tiptoeing about this person since yesterday, Du He is Du Ruhui's second son, Princess Chengyang's concubine, and Princess Chengyang is also the daughter of Empress Changsun.
Du He was Li Chengqian's sworn friend, and Li Chengqian's rebellion was also instigated by him, and Li Chengqian was defeated and Du He was executed by Li Shimin.
Du He may have ambitions, but at this time he was one of the few people that Li Chengqian could trust.
I heard that Du He was coming, so I hurriedly asked people to invite him in. Li Chengqian was waiting for Du He while looking at the tables and chairs in the hall, and suddenly heard someone say, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
As soon as Li Chengqian turned around, he saw a young man in Chinese clothes saluting him deeply, and knew that it was Du He. Li Chengqian stepped forward and helped him up to take a closer look, only to see that he was sword-eyed and heroic, and nodded slightly.
When Du He saw Li Chengqian's behavior like this, he was shocked, the chrysanthemum tightened, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am your brother-in-law, you can't ......"
Li Chengqian didn't understand what he meant for a while, but seeing that his face was red and his ears were red, he was a little displeased, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't take me as your favor!" After Du He finished speaking, he made a deep bow to Li Chengqian.
As soon as Li Chengqian understood, he said angrily: "Drinking and drinking are confused, what are you thinking?" ”
Du He was not afraid when he saw that Li Chengqian was angry, straightened up, and said with a smile: "As long as the prince doesn't mean that, he can say whatever he wants." ”
"Okay, you take a look at my new tables and chairs first, Li Chengqian pointed to the two official hats and chairs on both sides of the hall.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why do you still have the heart to get these things, do you know that something big has happened?" Du He said anxiously.
"What's wrong? King Qi is reversed?" Li Chengqian was stunned and asked, what Li Chengqian is most concerned about now is the rebellion of his fifth brother, because in history, he rebelled because the rebellion of King Qi implicated him.
"You don't know anything?" Du He said with a look of disbelief.
Li Chengqian turned his head to look at the old ghost, and the old ghost shook his head and said he didn't know.
"What's the matter, can you just say it?" Li Chengqian said to Du He with some irritation.
"All the scholars and Confucians in Chang'an City have come up to impeach you?"
Li Chengqian felt that it was nothing when he heard this, turned around and sat on the chair next to him, and stretched out his hand to signal Du He to sit down as well.
"What are they impeaching the Lone King?"
"Impeach His Highness for disrespecting the master and changing the scriptures, and it is difficult to inherit the temple. And today Li Tai has gone to Kong Yingda's old puppet and borrowed the old puppet's note "Five Classics of Justice", saying that he would copy the book for him. Du He sighed unconsciously.
"That's all?" Li Chengqian didn't think there was anything.
"That's not light, those clans have shown their attitude against you as a prince this time." Du He looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.
Li Chengqian thought to himself that they still didn't support Li Shimin as the emperor, Li Shimin still served as the emperor for more than ten years, and I never thought of relying on the family to rule the Tang Dynasty in later generations.
Li Chengqian's eyes were calm and said: "Okay, I know this, you help me continue to stare at them, the fourth is not only this means." ”
"Old ghost, go and send someone to see the excerpt of the impeachment of me, and then tell Zhao Jie that the emperor is now in Lishan Tangquan Palace, and these things will be sent over in a few days." Bai Zhou answered.
Zhao Jie is another sworn friend of Li Chengqian, and also Li Chengqian's cousin, his mother is Li Yuanli's five daughters, Princess Changguang, Li Chengqian's rebellion failed, and Zhao Jie was also executed by Li Shimin.
Zhao Jie's stepfather Yang Shidao is now the top boss of Zhongshu Ling is Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen, and Yang Shidao is now staying in Chang'an City, and there is no problem with sending the watch a few days late.
After Li Chengqian finished arranging to go to the first book, he wrote a note to Li Shimin, sealed it and handed it to Du He.
"You personally sent this recital to Tangquan Palace and handed it over to your father." Tell my father that I asked a few masters last night to write it, and Master Kong praised it, saying that I was far-sighted and had the style of a hero. ”
Du He looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his face, hesitated and asked, "What is written here?"
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said, "This is to invite my father and emperor to set up the Pingdong General Staff." ”
Seeing that Du He was confused, Li Chengqian continued: "The destruction of Goguryeo is the long-cherished wish of my father, and it is also an extremely important battle of the Tang Dynasty. Now that there is civil strife in Goguryeo, my father must take the opportunity to send troops to Goguryeo, but most of the ministers of the DPRK and China do not support sending troops, so they have not prepared in advance.
This letter asked the emperor to set up the Pyongdong General Staff in the name of the Eastern Palace, comprehensively prepare for the affairs of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, dispatch spies, prepare grain, grass, and utensils, and plan the march route.
You told my father that only me and a few masters of the East Palace knew the details of this recital. ”
Du He was stunned and took the watch, and it took him a long time to figure it out, then nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will hand it over to the emperor myself." "Du He is a son of a family in the Tang Dynasty, because his father's relationship has always been taken care of by Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.
Watching Du He go out, Li Chengqian asked people to invite Zhang Shiheng, Hao Chujun and others, who were directly from Chongxian Hall.
After everyone came to the Lizheng Hall to salute, Li Chengqian asked them to sit on the chairs on both sides. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting behind the bookcase, in amazement, and didn't know what he had done with the Lizheng Palace.
Li Chengqian didn't explain, and said directly: "Several of them are university scholars. ”
Everyone was busy, they didn't dare, they didn't dare.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and continued: "I am going to interpret a few scriptures today, please help me." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and wise, why bother with those villains?" Hao Chujun thought that Li Chengqian and his impeachers had to reinterpret the scriptures because they were angry, but it was too difficult to reinterpret the scriptures. It is absolutely difficult to do it with only these few people, and all the scholars of Chongxian Hall are considered to be Confucians, but Zhang Shiheng himself may not approve of such a thing as reinterpreting the scriptures, how to help the prince reinterpret the scriptures.
Li Chengqian ignored Hao Chujun and just beckoned the eunuch to bring up a few more long tables and put them in front of them.
Hao Chujun sat there left and right, and the eunuchs who were just watching unhurriedly put down the paper, pen and book on their tables, and looked up at Zhang Shiheng, who was sitting opposite.
Zhang Shiheng is over 60 years old and is currently the most educated person under Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian gave a lecture to Li Xiang yesterday, Zhang Shiheng was also present to watch their father, son, father, and filial piety, and Zhang Shiheng was quite moved.
Zhang Shiheng also recognized Li Chengqian's knowledge, at least he didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Chengqian's explanation.
is a little dissatisfied with Kong Yingda, although Kong Yingda is famous all over the world, but he Zhang Shiheng is not a penniless white ding, why do you run over and shout when we talk about the classics here, and devalue us as worthless?
Therefore, when he heard today that all the civil servants had written to impeach Li Chengqian, he thought that he would take his students to write a book to refute these villains.
Now that I heard that Li Chengqian was going to personally annotate the scriptures, he was naturally very cooperative.
Hao Chujun saw that he wanted Zhang Shiheng to persuade Li Chengqian, but he didn't want the old man to get up and arch his hand: "I don't know which scripture His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to explain?"
Hao Chujun and the other Chongxian Pavilion scholars all widened their eyes, thinking to themselves, why did this old master follow His Highness to mess around?
Li Chengqian looked at everyone's expressions and knew that it was difficult to convince them without showing a hand, so he said: "This book King Gu wants to give to several masters in the East Palace, so let's write an article first."
"Ancient scholars must have teachers, and teachers preach and teach and solve doubts,...... Confucius said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it.
Confucius Yingda, seventy years old, taught in the lonely for many years, did not understand the teacher's way, so he wrote "The Teacher Said" to leave it behind, hoping that it would be like his ancestral cloud: he heard the Tao, died at night, and was determined to learn all his life. ”
Li Chengqian suppressed his frustration and memorized Han Yu's famous article "Shi Shuo", but the last few sentences were slightly modified and turned into a satirical article by Kong Yingda.
Hao Chujun had been recording since Li Chengqian was finished writing, and he raised his head and exclaimed, "This is an ancient text?"
"This is an article that can be understood by more people, and it is also an article that can be passed down through the ages." Li Chengqian said lightly.
All the straight scholars in the temple
……

"Okay, let's start annotating the scriptures, and the lonely king will come and record ......"
