Tai Chi Temple.

After dealing with the chores that needed to be dealt with urgently, Li Er stood up, rubbed his numb arm, and sighed, but found that the soup on the table was already cold.

This is the soothing soup made by the eldest grandson queen in the evening by staring at the imperial kitchen, and personally sent it to the imperial study, but Li Er only took a sip, put it on the table, and when he was busy, he left it behind and forgot about it completely.

Li Er picked up the soothing soup and was about to drink it, when the eldest grandson next to him stepped forward and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, this soup is already cold and can't be drunk, the concubine has already arranged for someone to re-boil it, Your Majesty, let's go to the concubine's dormitory tonight to rest." ”

Li Er nodded: "It's okay." ”

Holding the hand of Empress Changsun, Li Ergang walked out of the imperial study.

Zhao Yang, who had been waiting for a long time next to him, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has something important to report!" ”

"Oh?" Li Er was taken aback, "It's so late, what can it do?" ”

Zhao Yang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, when the servants passed by the East Inner Garden, they saw Du He, Princess Runan and Princess Changle drinking by the lake, so I came to report to Your Majesty." ”

In fact, Zhao Yang had already returned to the outside of the imperial study, but he received Du He's silver, and he was still relatively trustworthy, and he didn't report to Li Eryu until this time.

When Li Er heard this, he was immediately shocked: "There is such a thing, Du He is really bold......

Before the words fell, Li Er took the eldest grandson queen and a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and hurried to the East Inner Garden.

Although the Tang Dynasty is civilized, private meetings between men and women are not allowed.

Especially the dignified princess, she actually had a private meeting with Du He by the lake at night, if this matter spreads, then Li Lizhen and Li Yuanshu's reputation will be completely ruined.

Li Er rushed to the lake worriedly, but Du He had already left.

All that was left was a table full of untouched food.

The candle is about to burn out.

When Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi saw Li Er, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stood aside, and they didn't dare to come out.

Li Er asked in a deep voice, "What about Du He?" ”

Li Lizhi lowered her head and said, "Father, Du He is gone!" ”

Li Ergang wanted to get angry, but was stopped by the eldest grandson queen next to him.

Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, since this matter has happened, it is better not to make a noise." ”

Li Er thought about it, nodded approvingly, turned to Zhao Yang and said, "Tell me to go down, tonight's matter, if someone dares to reveal half a word, there will be no mercy." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yang was almost scared to death.

Then, as soon as Li Eryi turned his head, he saw the piece of paper in Li Lizhen's hand, and he took it over to take a look.

I have to say that Du He's hard pen words are a few points better than brush words.

Moreover, Li Er can see this poem at a glance, this is clearly a love poem.

"Duhe, you are so bold......"

"This Du He, he has no talent, but he doesn't do the right thing, it's really infuriating!"

Li Er was speechless for a long time.

If nothing else, this poem can be crowned the entire Chang'an, and Du He's talent is well-known, and it is definitely not a waste.

But what makes Li Er a headache is that Du He's actions have always been unpredictable, just such a person, if he is allowed to enter the court as an official, he may not know how much chaos he will make.

"Humph!"

Li Er returned the poem to Li Yuanshu and turned away angrily.

……

Confucian.

It's late at night.

Kong Yingda was lying on the bed, her face even paler than before.

The first time he vomited blood, he was angry with Du He, of course it is understandable, after all, Du He's guy is too hateful.

vomited blood for the second time, but was angry by his grandson Kong Aniu's words.

This time, Kong Yingda couldn't figure it out anyway, and even his grandson, who was less than eight years old, didn't support him, but stood on Du He's side.

After yesterday's incident, Kong Aniu has been locked up in the study and thought about it.

In a short time, Kong Yingda's three sons all gathered in front of the bed.

The eldest son, Kong Zhiyuan.

The second son, Kong Zhiyue.

The youngest son, Kong Zhiliang.

Today, the three sons are all officials in the court.

The eldest son is even one from the fourth rank and is expected to go further.

Not to mention that the Confucian family is prosperous, it will not decline in a short period of time.

This point made Kong Yingda feel a little proud.

After a while, Kong Yingda asked, "How does Your Majesty deal with today's affairs?" ”

Kong Zhiyuan hurriedly briefly said what happened this morning.

Suddenly, the three brothers of the Kong family were furious.

Kong Zhiyue said: "This Du He, it's really not a good thing, he actually did such a shameless thing, to please Your Majesty in public, how can I and other scholars do such a thing." ”

Kong Zhiliang said hatefully: "Your Majesty is obviously favoring Du He, before His Majesty personally took the lead in using the revolving wooden chair, and now he is very satisfied with the sofa built by Du He, and gave a reward, isn't this obvious favoritism?" ”

When Kong Yingda heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.

The implication of the practice of the one above the temple is already very clear.

To put it bluntly, he is dissatisfied with his Confucian family and dissatisfied with today's Confucianism.

Kong Yingda secretly said in his heart: Your Majesty's ideal is to become an emperor through the ages, and to create an unprecedented era of Zhenguan, in order to achieve this goal, all stumbling blocks will be swept away by him.

However, Kong Yingda was unwilling.

He was not just one person, behind him was the whole of Confucianism.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed Dong Zhongshu's advice to depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism, in the past thousand years, there have only been a very few time periods when Confucianism has not landed, and the rest of the time period has been admired by the superiors.

However, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, it was suddenly proposed that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should stand side by side, which made Confucianism led by Kong Yingda a little unacceptable.

During the Wude period, Kong Yingda was the hardcore follower of the prince Li Jiancheng, because although Li Jiancheng can also fight well, he is a Confucian student in his bones and has the spirit of Confucianism.

Who knows, the sword light and sword shadow in front of the Xuanwu Gate have dashed this greatest hope.

Li Er's ascension to the throne is a completely different style from Li Jiancheng.

In other words, Li Er only believed in himself, what Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were just given a name, and he never thought about which family he wanted to rule the world with.

Even if it is a clan with great influence, Li Er has always taken a tough attitude and will never back down.

"Could it be...... Is my Confucianism really going to decline? Kong Yingda said in despair.

Seeing this, Kong Zhiyuan hurriedly comforted: "Dad, you don't have to worry, no matter how much Du He makes trouble, no matter how His Majesty favors him, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supports us after all, this afternoon, I have discussed with Lord Wang and Lord Chen, and early tomorrow morning, I will arrange a group of students from the Guozi Prison to go to the gate of the Lai Guo Mansion to sit quietly, even if Du He ignores it, but Lai Guo Gong can't sit idly by, and when the time comes, it will ruin Du Xiang's reputation." ”
