Chapter 421: Gong Bao
"Gong Bao, why are there so many enemies in Datang?"
The warm afternoon sun shone on the young prince's face, reflecting that innocent face.
"Because between nations is like the jungle of the world. It is the law of the jungle that is followed, do you know what the law of the jungle is? Li Xiao lay in the rattan chair under the corridor of the East Palace in the afternoon, enjoying the warm winter sun.
"What is it?"
"The law of the jungle is natural selection. I have taken you to hunt with the emperor before, and you should have seen that in the royal hunting grounds, there are many wild beasts and animals, tigers and deer, wolves chasing rabbits, eagles catching mice, and the strong eating the weak, this is the law of nature. The same is true from country to country, if you are backward, you will be beaten. ”
"Then there is no benevolence and morality?"
"Don't be lazy, squat with your buttocks, don't push your knees above your toes, and keep your back straight!" Li Xiao picked up the bamboo whip on the coffee table and slapped the prince's ass very unceremoniously, and the prince bared his teeth, but he didn't dare to dodge. The attendants and palace people waiting in the distance all showed distressed expressions, but no one dared to come up.
Before, when the crown prince Shaobao, the prince Zhan Shi, and Li Xiao, the prince of Zhou Guogong of Shangzhu State, drew the prince for the first time, these attendants in the East Palace were like the sky had collapsed, and they angrily accused Li Xiao, but Li Xiao kicked these people to the ground very unceremoniously, and then asked the emperor for instructions, and sent all these people down to see the imperial tomb.
Li Xiao persuaded the emperor and empress with only one sentence, do you want a frail prince or a healthy prince?
The emperor and empress have always had a headache about the prince's weakness, and the prince is benevolent and smart, but his body is too weak and he often gets sick, but the imperial doctors can't do much.
But now Li Xiao said that as long as the prince is handed over to him to teach and train, and does not interfere too much with his methods, then the prince's body will be greatly improved in one year, the prince will be as healthy as an ordinary person in three years, and he will be strong and heroic in five years.
Li Xiao's promise still moved the emperor, so after that, the emperor issued a decree to the East Palace, and Li Xiao was mainly responsible for the affairs of the East Palace, and Li Xiao had the final say on the prince's physical training.
Therefore, Li Xiao now makes the prince get up every day, runs and swims, and even squats every day, does frog jumps, and exercises bows, etc., no one dares to speak out against it.
It's useless to object, and the result may be to be sent down to see the imperial tomb.
At first, everyone thought that maybe the prince would not be able to stand it, and maybe it wouldn't be long before Li Xiao, who was messing around, would be punished by the emperor.
But as a result, it has been three months since autumn went to winter, and the prince was not only not crossed by Li Xiaoxun, but on the contrary, his body bones were obviously much stronger.
For example, it is rare to have a headache and brain fever as often as before, and I can run three laps around the East Palace in the early morning, and only one lap has been added in January, but I have not collapsed after running down.
Even Li Xiao likes to lie there to teach the prince, he lies down himself, but he has to let the prince squat on the horse, or stand motionless, Li Xiao called it a standing military posture.
The prince was wearing a very thin training uniform, but his body was not cold at all, but his face was red.
"Kung Pao, why? Isn't there no benevolence, righteousness and morality between nations? ”
"Of course, there will be benevolence and righteousness between countries, there will be morality, and there will be rules. But you have to always remember that all rules are made by the strong, and the weak are not qualified to make rules, and the weak can only follow the rules made by the strong. ”
"We can be benevolent and righteous, but we must be strong, and only when we are strong can we ensure our own safety, the integrity of our territory, the safety of the people, and the peace of the world. A citizen of the Tang Dynasty, if he encounters injustice and bullying, then he can find the official government yamen of the Tang Dynasty and find them to be the master of justice, and the court yamen will make the decision for them, because the Tang Dynasty has the Tang Dynasty law, and there is a complete set of laws and rules, which everyone must abide by. Those who refuse to obey will be dealt with by the government officials, and even the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, in order to maintain the majesty of the law and protect the rights and interests of the people. ”
Li Xiao's whip patted it in his hand, "Do you hear the core?" The justice of the people of the Tang Dynasty is backed by the strength of the imperial court, and is guaranteed by the government, government officials, and government soldiers. And where does the fairness between countries come from? It is also my Datang government soldiers. ”
"Gong Bao, then we are now fighting with the Tuyuhun people and the Tubo people, is it because they bullied us?"
The prince asked a question very wisely.
"No, at least not yet, and they don't have the ability to bully our Datang." Li Xiao replied directly.
"If there isn't, then why are we sending troops against them? Aren't Tuyuhun and Tubo both our vassals? Datang also married the princess to their king, why fight? ”
Li Xiao thought about it for a long time before answering the prince.
"Because on the side of the couch there is no room for others to sleep soundly! There can be no two tigers in one mountain, there can only be one empire in the world, and there can only be one overlord in a region. We need to be the strongest, and we need to have the right to speak in the rules, otherwise, there will be no rules in the world, and there will be no peace. Although the Tubo people are the country of nephews and uncles with us, their ambitions are not small, if they swallow Tuguhun, it will threaten our Tang Dynasty! ”
"But what about Tuyuhun, are they innocent?"
"Maybe, but being sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is their original sin."
"Can't we live together peacefully?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "When you are strong, you can't be weak, otherwise, when you are no longer strong, others will not be equally weak to you." Constantly strengthen yourself, this is the real battle to stop fighting! ”
"We can't be good to everyone, but we can be good to the people of Datang! His Royal Highness the Prince, one day you will succeed to the throne as the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and you should firmly remember that you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the people of the Tang Dynasty, not the Son of Heaven of the Fanbang Yidi. ”
These words were a bit too cruel and direct for the prince, who was less than seven years old, but Li Xiao hoped that he could understand earlier that he was not an ordinary child, he was the future emperor. As the future emperor of the empire, he should understand the cruelty of this world earlier than other children.
"Okay, that's all for today, I'll take you to the hot spring swimming party, take a good dip, soaking in the warm soup in winter is good for your health, and swimming can also better exercise your whole body muscles, which can make you grow stronger."
Li Xiao stepped forward and patted the prince on the shoulder, reaching out to lift him up. The prince squatted for a long time, his feet were numb, and his body was covered with sweat, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering. At this time, he was almost at his limit, and he couldn't even get up by himself.
"Okay, okay, what kind of posture do you learn today?"
"You haven't learned how to plan, what posture do you still learn, first learn dog planing, and then I will teach you breaststroke, then butterfly, diving, backstroke, and treading water, it depends on whether your comprehension ability has grown. I have to say, you're pretty good in other things, but you're not good at swimming. ”
"Then you can't blame me, my father can't swim, I'm better than my father, I've learned how to plan!" The prince retorted excitedly, although he was slow to learn swimming, he was the one who liked to swim the most.
