Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Changle Li Zhi and a few little children went around in the palace and returned to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Chengqian said to his mother, "Queen Mother, there are a lot of weapons in the courtyard of the third uncle, as well as the stone lock, the child can't hold it even if he tries it, I don't know if my father can pick it up, my father was also a general of Tiance,"

The eldest grandson lovingly said to the eldest son, "Cheng Qian, your father is the commander of thousands of armies, naturally he is arranging troops and is skilled in martial arts, but it is more than a little worse than your third uncle, and your father is definitely not an opponent." ”

Changle turned out to say, "Queen Mother, the third uncle is there, I'm still waiting for him to make something delicious,"

Li Tai and Li Zhi said together, "Yes, the children are hungry." ”

The eldest grandson picked up Li Zhi and said, "The young slave is also hungry, don't worry, your third uncle has already gone to the kitchen to cook, and there will be food soon." ”

Li Tai asked suspiciously, "Queen Mother, can't you just call someone to prepare it, the third uncle will go by himself,"

"Of course, it's not me who does it myself, you have delicious food, let's see what the third uncle has for you." Li De's voice floated in the distance.

Li Chengqian, Changle hurriedly took the food from Li De's hand and put it on the big round table, Li Zhi saw that there was food and struggled down from the arms of the eldest grandson and ran to the position to sit up, looking like he was about to feed me.

The eldest grandson quipped, "Third brother, you see that you show your hands, but you can be greedy for the young slave, usually you count him in the palace to make trouble, and you don't eat well at all, or you have a way." ”

Li De also smiled and said, "This kid is also a good mouth, look at his small appearance, haha, come and everyone sit down, hurry up and eat it hot, this is my specialty dish." ”

The dishes on the table, without the beautiful appearance in the palace, three or five dishes are home-cooked, there are meat and vegetarian smells and feels delicious, waiting for the eldest grandson to pick up the chopsticks, several babies have started to work, while eating and praising Li De, even Changle said that the third uncle's skills are better than the imperial kitchen, and he can't eat it every day.

The eldest grandson pretended to say, "Changle, your third uncle is a busy man, and besides, this King Wei has become a man, and this will be a joke when it gets out." ”

Changle hurriedly covered his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he had made a mistake.

Li De smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there is so much exquisiteness, this family has a meal but it is the warmest time every day, what is it to be able to cook a meal for you, Changle likes to come every day, the third uncle will let you eat it all over, okay,"

Changle smiled happily and turned his head to look at the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson pointed his finger and said, "Don't thank you third uncle, I see that you are used to it,"

Li Tai's little face was tangled, and he didn't know whether to speak, Li De saw that he thought he was not making it delicious, so he asked, "Xiaotai, don't you like the dishes of the third uncle's family." Why doesn't it suit your appetite, look at your face is squeezed into buns. I don't like the third uncle to change it for you,"

Li Tai said suspiciously, "No, third uncle, Xiao Tai likes it too, but I have a question I want to ask,"

Li De: "Oh, I'll listen to it."

Li Tai: "Third uncle, the sage Yan Junzi is far away from cooking, third uncle, you are the prince, how can you do this kind of thing with your own hands, you should let the next man do it." ”

Li De laughed, "You kid, you're almost stunned by Confucianism, let me ask you, where did this gentleman come from?"

Li Tai said, "From "Mencius", "Liang Hui Wang Zhangju" is not injured, it is a benevolent art, seeing cattle but not sheep, and a gentleman is to a beast, seeing its life, and can't bear to see its death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. ”

Li De said, "You see, you have been misled, you think about it, this sentence is understood by you must be connected to the next and look at it, and can not be taken out of context, yes, Mencius said so, but under what circumstances did he say this, which was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mencius was discussing the way of governing the country with King Qi Xuan, because King Qi Xuan was asking Mencius in a very tactful way, so Mencius would have an example of killing a cow to take blood and sacrifice it was unbearable to exchange sheep for a cow instead of a cow to illustrate, and its role was to awaken the heart of King Qi Xuan's heart "unbearable." "The heart of kindness. As long as this kind of benevolence is awakened, the following things, such as the royal way and benevolent government, will all have a psychological basis for acceptance, and it is not difficult to show that Mencius's idea of governing the country is to unify the world with benevolent government. Therefore, we can't just see the kitchen in the distance, it is just an example to show that people have benevolence.

Xiaotai, think about it again, if there is no butcher and no cook to cook for you, won't you eat? Even if it's not the livestock you killed, isn't it in your stomach in the end, what difference does it make if you do it or not, so we learn knowledge, everything has to be seen dialectically, can't be taken out of context, what gentleman cooks far away, this is those delicious and lazy guys put on themselves a shield of righteousness and laziness, and don't want to contribute and sit back and enjoy it, which is really hateful. ”

Li Tai thought for a while, felt that this was the case, and said to Li De, "Third uncle, you are right, you are really knowledgeable, Xiaotai is served." That's not what those masters taught me,"

Li De nodded, "Third Uncle doesn't like those classics, I only know that life is the source of knowledge, as long as it is integrated into life, you will slowly understand a lot of things that are not taught in books. Learning is like that, and so is governing the country, you know. ”

The eldest grandson clapped his hands and applauded, "The practice of human feelings is the article, the world is insightful and knowledgeable, the third brother said it is really good, if it weren't for the sister-in-law who is sure that you are a yuanba, but you will be regarded as an impostor, hehe, the third brother's words, if your second brother listens to it, he will also benefit a lot." ”

"Wuji, you still know me best, the third brother really has a hand" At this time, Li Shimin's voice came, which startled everyone.

Li Shimin walked up to the table with his head held high, sat down next to his eldest grandson, and said to Li De, "Third brother, second brother really underestimates you, you have changed a lot these days,"

Li De thought, nonsense, do you think I'm still the one who scolded the sky and was struck by lightning, "Second brother, when did you come, why didn't anyone report it." ”

Li Shimin said, "I didn't allow them to report in advance, didn't I just come to see you, otherwise how could I hear your insightful insight, your two sentences have everyone's demeanor." ”

"Qingque, do you understand what your third uncle meant?"

"And you, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince, the princess, what your third uncle said is also what the father thinks, in the future, I will let go of your restraints, let you go to the people, to the barracks, and even the battlefield to see, experience more of what the real Tang Dynasty is, and experience the suffering of the people. I can't let you grow up in this deep palace all the time, just based on hearsay, it is inevitable that you will not make jokes about pointing to deer as horses, why not eat minced meat, as a royal family, you can enjoy both glory and responsibility, understand. ”

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Changle all stood up and saluted, "The child must obey the teachings of his father,"

Li Chengqian immediately asked again, "Father, can the child go to the third uncle's barracks?" The child had heard that the third uncle's back army was being practiced, and the child wanted to experience it. ”

Li Shimin has long known that he, the prince, has always wanted to go to the military camp, but when he goes up on the battlefield, he thinks that he is the prince, how can he risk his life, the son of the daughter does not sit in the hall, not to mention that he Li Shimin is still young and strong, and he does not need the prince to go to the military camp at all, since listening to Li De's words, he has been thinking for a long time that he really can't let the descendants be peaceful and prosperous, so that he will only raise a loser, and sooner or later he will be defeated in their hands like the previous dynasty, it is better to let them go out to experience more wind and rain, experience, and will not be bewitched by traitors in the future, It is also good to manage the Tang Dynasty created by him.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson glanced at each other, and the two husbands and wives had already reached a tacit understanding with one look. , turned his head and said, "Yes, my father is approved, and other princes can also go together, but let's say it first, once you get out of the palace, you will have to listen to your third uncle, and you will be a soldier when you enter the barracks, so you can experience and learn, you know." ”

Li Chengqian finally got what he wanted, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice. immediately said to Li De, "Third uncle, when can you see when your nephew can go to the barracks to report,"

Li De thought about what he said, it seems that Li Shimin finally agreed, obviously preparing to let him be the commander of the army of the gentlemen, anyway, this sheep is herded, and a group of sheep is also driven, it is best for them to go to the barracks to practice well.

"Cheng, you go and ask your brothers what else they want to try, call them all, I'll take you there, and I just happen to see the results of this time."
