Chapter 63: Vegetable Terrier Tan

The text of "Caigen Tan" is concise and clear, and it is infinitely chewing, it is also scattered and scattered, blending history and adopting elegance and vulgarity. The pen is interesting and the pavilion is www.biquge.info like quotations, but there is an interest that quotations do not have; It is like an essay, but there is a rectification that is not easy to reach in an essay; It is like a precept, but there is a cordial sobriety that the admonition lacks; And there are mountains after the rain, the night is quiet and the bell is dyed, and what it says is clear and flavorful, and the wind and moon are boundless.

This is the evaluation of the vegetable terrier Tan by later generations, and it is also a strange book after the Song Dynasty. Yan Yan was studying ink on the side, Li Chengyan stood in front of the desk and thought carefully, Yang Tinger was angry with a stove of sandalwood, green smoke curling, very still complacent, Li Chengyan was about to put down the pen, the door of the study was slammed open by Peng, the ink fell on the fine rice paper, leading to a large piece of ink, just about to shout angrily, was held back.

"The boy is also selfish, if it weren't for the visit to Your Majesty today, the old man wouldn't know that you, this kid, wanted to be a generation of Wenzong?" Old Man Yan never cares about the royal rules, especially Li Chengyan here, which is no different from his own family.

"How can such a grand event be without an old man?" Sima Xiang, Kong Yingda, Li Gang, Xiao Yu, Liu Zhenghui and Old Man Yan, a total of five people came to Lianyang, Yang Ting'er and Yan Yan pushed Sima Xiang and Yan Zhi to the seats respectively, Li Chengyan said to a few people with a wry smile.

"The kid originally wanted to finish writing and discussing it with you, but I didn't expect the elders to come, the kid was rude" After speaking, he bowed to a few people.

"You kid is a gluttonous person, you want to take any good things, it's not a good thing to make a big move, today the master taught you to be a good man, if you really dare to write that book, hum, do you want to have peace in the future?" Sima Xiang is like this, Li Chengyan suddenly understood, Mu Xiu is in the forest, the tree is big, and the vegetable stalk Tan is good, but it will never reach the point of canonization that his father said, he is just a teenage naughty boy, even if he is rich and famous, those people can't agree, guessing that a few old guys were sent by Li Er, this matter is still in a hurry.

"Thank you Master for your teachings, keep it in mind," Li Chengyan saluted to Sima Xiang.

"You are a permeable person, everything can be understood at one point, and a few old men today are also touched by your light" Sima Xiang squinted his eyes and stopped talking after speaking, and the next person served tea to a few elders, Li Chengyan walked to the desk alone, and wrote with a pen:

"Yu often heard: Master Sima Xiang, Master Yan Zhitui's words and deeds, I have a feeling, and now with Mr. Sima Xiang, Mr. Yan Zhitui, Mr. Li Gang, Mr. Xiao Yu, Mr. Liu Zhenghui talk about the ancients, I have feelings, and then I heard Mr. Xiao say: People in the middle of the matter work a lot, or with gold and profit, or with fame and fortune, Mr. Sima said, why not write a book to future generations? Then there is a book title: Vegetable stalk Tan, vegetable stalk does not know its taste, idle to chew it, Tan, talk about it~~"

A few people walked to the desk, looking at Li Chengyan writing freely, sometimes nodding in approval, sometimes puzzled but inconvenient to ask, a book sprinkled with 17,000 words, everyone who read it was like drinking elixir, and in the following days, several people could be said to have stayed up all night, forgetting to sleep and eating, and it took more than ten days to get it.

Although this book is not as broad as Confucius and Mencius, it can be said to be a collection of thousands of wisdom like quotations, and there is an interest that quotations do not have; It is like an essay, but there is a rectification that is not easy to reach in an essay; It is like a precept, but there is a cordial sobriety that the admonition lacks; And there are mountains after the rain, the night is quiet and the bell is dyed, and what it says is clear and flavorful, and the wind and moon are boundless. Kong Yingda is a generation of Confucianism and a descendant of the Kong family, and this evaluation is also pertinent.

"Haha, come, the old man will make a preface" Sima Xiang also wrote down with a sway, a cursive writing of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and several people who watched it were amazed again and again.

After everyone finished eating in the East Palace, they went home, everyone was happy, and before leaving, they all said that the first batch of books would be left, and Li Chengyan also agreed.

"How, it's already written?" Li Er said with the carved vegetable stalk.

"It's already been printed, and this is the first one, and it's sent to you on purpose," Li Chengyan said, sitting next to Li Er.

"That's good, you can also read it over there in Guozijian, and by the way, it will be distributed to the schools in various places, you can go out first!" Li Er instructed Xiao Yu to speak.

Xiao Yu stepped back. When Xiao Yu went out, Li Er asked Li Chengyan again

"What happened to the two books of enlightenment you were talking about?"

"It's almost done," Li replied.

"I'll start to rest tomorrow, I'm tired for a year, you should take a good rest, yesterday your mother told me, and you've been with these two girls for more than a year, why haven't you seen any movement?" Li Er is a high-ranking emperor in political affairs, and in private he is a distressed father of his children, not only Li Chengyan, but also his younger brothers very much.

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, it's still young, it's okay to wait for two years" Speaking of this, Li Chengyan is also helpless, there is nothing wrong with him, Yan Yan and Yang Ting'er are too, why can't they get pregnant?

"Are you not in a hurry, I and your queen mother are in a hurry, your queen mother is already looking for a side concubine for you, and it is estimated that there will be a result soon," Li Er said to Li Chengyan while reviewing the chapter.

Li Chengyan doesn't know how to refuse, in this era, what is important is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, if it is the children of ordinary people, pick one or two like it and go on like it, if it is the emperor's family, especially the king or the prince, the number of heirs is also a big deal.

"I know that you are a long-term lover, Yan Yan and Ting'er are also the same girl, but what about after you ascend the throne? Who will be the next choice? Although Yang Ting'er has some means, but with the bloodline of the previous dynasty, can you agree, I can agree, can those veterans agree? Yan Yan is a soft person again, and although she is kind and likable, she can't do that position"! Li Er put down his pen and said to Li Chengyan seriously.

"Can we not mention this, my father is only in his thirties, and he can be in office for more than forty years, why do you keep talking about this." Li Chengyan knew that Li Er felt sorry for himself, Chengyan's son could speak, Li Ke's bastard was already three, and he was the boss, but he didn't have one.

"Do you really want to be a prince for more than forty years? You want to be a prince for the rest of your life, but I don't want to be an emperor for the rest of your life? In the future, the world will be yours, I heard Cheng Qian and Qingque say that the place in the Americas is indeed a blessed land, and when I have free time, I will go all over the Tang Dynasty, go to the North Sea to hunt bears, go to the South China Sea to fish for whales, go to the Americas to run horses, and want to leave me in this palace for you to do a lifetime of work, so beautiful that you "Li Er's words are his heart's words, he has a lot of things to do, and he can't leave this position for the time being.

"I'll talk about it later, Erchen has to be idle now, and he is idle, and Erchen can't wait to be the prince for decades." Li Chengyan's eyes were filled with tears, the emperor didn't wish he could sit in that position forever.

"Do you think I really wanted to rebel against your imperial grandfather? It was forced out, you look at those who followed their father through the Xuanwu Gate, they pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, in order to be a wife and a son, who wants to be killed? If they don't force me, they will die, what about you? Are those of your subordinates willing to be subordinate officials with you for the rest of their lives? This court is like living water, the old water does not recede, how can the new water come? Li Er touched the top of Li Chengyan's head with a smile and wiped the tears from the corners of Li Chengyan's eyes.

"Father" Li Chengyan choked up,

"What my father told you is my father's sincere words, this position is not easy to do, I am a dragon for nine days, but I am killed by these things, I can't get rid of it if I want to, this palace hates the emperor's family, why don't you stop me from being depressed? There is always more to lose than to gain, do you know why those emperors of the previous dynasty would rather force the prince to rebel, and would rather kill their own parents and sit in that position?"

"Erchen really doesn't know" Li Chengyan was also thinking about this question.

"It comes down to one reason, they're afraid of death! Zen makes it so easy? Li Er lay on the chair and waved at Li Chengyan, Li Chengyan bowed and withdrew, Li Chengyan went out with his front foot, and Empress Changsun walked in, gently softened Li Er's forehead, and said softly

"The promise you are worried about will not be done, he has a sense of proportion, if you let the promise know your thoughts, he will be sad."

"I know, that's why I said this, I just said it from the bottom of my heart, admitting that what I have done recently is too big, and it is a good thing that the prestige is high, but it is not a good thing that the prestige of the prince of a country is too high, I am for his good, he understands" Li Er grabbed the eldest grandson's hand, pulled the eldest grandson into his arms, grabbed the plump of the eldest grandson and kneading it and said: "Chengyan understands everything, I understand Chengyan's thoughts from the time I handed over the prince's guard, he is afraid that I will be suspicious, afraid that my desire for power is too strong, and it will hurt him, But what he is doing is still doing, he is testing me, testing how much I love him, today I answered him, this is also a good thing for our father and son, with the rules, he knows what he can do, what he can't do, Chengyan is a good example, he walked very steadily this way, he used to need me to help, now he doesn't need to walk, he learned to walk by himself, so that he can go out and see the distant mountains, see the big river, so as not to fall to the ground, can't get up, Chengyan can't understand this court, That's why I taught him how to see,"

Li Er told his expectations for Li Chengyan, and the eldest grandson leaned his face against Li Er's chest, feeling Li Er's strong heartbeat. Listening to Li Er, he stopped, looked up at Li Er, and asked, "And then?"

"And then? This promise will stay away from the court, he always doesn't want to think of himself as a politician, how can this work" Li Er said with a smile.

Li Chengyan looked at the sun in the sky and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself: "Always want me to provoke something, why should I be so tired?" Zhenguan grand event, without me, is it also a Zhenguan grand event? ”
