The clatter of horses' hooves echoed through the streets, and pedestrians retreated to both sides of the avenue.

Sitting in the car, Li Kong looked at the bustling Chang'an without squinting, and it was the first time he had observed this first city in the ages so carefully.

It's just a pity that prosperity is prosperity, but the war tossed here too badly, there are less than a million people in the huge Chang'an City, everywhere is empty, and many closed portals are even more sad to see.

Suddenly, a white horse galloped in front of him, and then a man in black bright light armor jumped off the horse and said, "In front is Li Kong, the son of the British prince?" ”

Li Fu, who was driving the carriage, pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and Li Kong opened the curtain and said, "I am Li Kong." ”

"Your Majesty has an order, Li Kong quickly went to the Ganlu Hall to face the saint." After the man finished speaking, he flew on the horse again and disappeared without a trace.

Li Kong looked at the dust remaining on the ground in a daze, and frowned: "So unscrupulous, or a Tang sergeant?" It's just hateful! ”

Li Fu was taken aback by Li Kong's words, and hurriedly turned around and said: "Shh~ Young Master said carefully, just now it was the Praetorian Xuanjia Iron Guard, which is to protect Your Majesty, they have this privilege, if your words reach Your Majesty's ears......"

"Okay, I know, Fauber, you send me to the palace now, go back first, and I'll go home myself later." Li Kong's heart was a little irritable, the actions of the Xuanjia Iron Guard just now made Li Kong's worship of the Tang Dynasty crack for the first time, but fortunately, it was not big, and there was still room for repair.

But before fixing it, it doesn't prevent him from complaining for a while.

Li Fu sent Li Kong to the vicinity of the Taiji Palace, then turned around and returned to the Guogong Mansion, while Li Kong went straight to the Ganlu Hall under the leadership of the chamberlain waiting there.

……

Inside the Temple of Manna.

Li Shimin and Kong Yingda sat opposite each other, the two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and on a low couch next to them, Li Lizhi dragged her cheeks with both hands, looked at Li Shimin, and then looked at Kong Yingda, feeling a little bored.

Just because he was worried that Li Shimin would be 'bullied' by Kong Yingda, as the intimate little padded jacket of his father, Li Lizhi said that he would stick to the end here, and he would not let her suffer no matter what.

"Your Majesty, the meal is ready, do you want to start eating?" A chamberlain suddenly walked in, interrupting the confrontation between the two.

"It's hot!" Li Shimin said without replying, then looked at Kong Yingda, and said: "Kong Qing, you have also heard, it is better to believe in a book than to have no book, and according to what you reported to me, the way in which the sages marked out sentences is not necessarily correct, in this case, why do you insist so much?" ”

"The Code of Ethics must not be abolished!" Kong Yingda didn't give an inch, and said in a deep voice: "Even if what Li Kong said is right, he definitely doesn't have a second explanation for the ethics section. ”

"You...... Don't you dare to do anything to you? Li Shimin was furious.

"If Your Majesty can't listen to the words of loyalty, then the old minister naturally has nothing to say, so he will resign and return to his hometown, and never enter the court!" Kong Yingda is-for-tat.

And his words were quite lethal, and directly made Li Shimin speechless.

Let Kong Yingda return to his hometown? Unless Li Shimin doesn't want to get mixed up, you must know that the Kong family is definitely a god-like existence in the heart of the entire Shilin, if Kong Yingda goes back to talk about some of Li Shimin's badness, then Li Shimin will not want to add another talent to the court in his life, let alone let Li Tang be immortal, it is estimated that they will also die like the former Sui.

At this moment, an attendant suddenly shouted: "Li Kongjian drives!" ”

"Let that kid get out of here!" Li Shimin stood up angrily, and then glared at Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda felt a little hairy in his heart, and he was really a little afraid that he would be irrefutable by Li Kong's refutation after a while, in that case, he, the heir of the Kong family, would be completely finished.

Li Lizhi's eyes lit up, and then she looked at the door, she didn't know what she was thinking, she just felt that her heart was beating a little hard.

Li Kong walked in with steady steps, and was the first to see the little person sitting on the low couch, smiled faintly at her, and then looked at Li Shimin who was sitting in the top position and Kong Yingda, who had a calm face.

"Your Majesty, Master, you two are ......" Li Kong was a little surprised, and immediately began to ask.

But then he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Caomin Li Kong, I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe." ”

At this time, Li Kong was a little glad that he was passing through the Tang Dynasty, not the Ming and Qing dynasties where Zhu Cheng's science was popular, because in the Tang Dynasty, even if it was a commoner, he didn't need to kneel when he saw the emperor, he only needed to bow ninety degrees.

Well, that's right, the etiquette of the small country of Dongying was transmitted back by the Tang envoy at this time, and it lasted for more than a thousand years, but it was in China itself, because of the Qing Dynasty, these etiquettes were destroyed cleanly, and the etiquette of kneeling to see the king was half smashed the backbone of Huaxia.

Kong Yingda just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Li Kong making up for it, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared by more than half, and he was suffocated, and for a while, his face was a little red and swollen.

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Stinky boy, I came to ask you, is it because I sit in this position, I have to abandon my family affection, and I can't enjoy a peaceful family with my own children?" ”

"Which bastard said that?" Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Kong jumped up directly.

Later generations say that Li Shimin is a successful emperor, but he is not a qualified Lao Tzu, it turns out that Li Kong thinks that this is the emperor's nature, but now looking at Li Shimin's expression and unwillingness, it is obvious that this is not his original intention?

Think about Li Shimin's sons, depreciating and killing, even the daughters are very jumpy one by one, except for a few celebrities who died early, I have to say that this is Li Shimin's sorrow, and it is also the sorrow of the entire Li Tang.

Since he wants to change these imperfections, Li Kong decided that from now on, no matter what, he must let Li Shimin's heart continue, so his current combat effectiveness is directly off the charts.

"The old man said it!" Kong Yingda was angry and shouted in the Ganlu Palace, what kind of system did he become?

Li Kong turned his head to look at Kong Yingda and said, "It turned out that the master said it, may I ask the master, why do you say this?" ”

Kong Yingda stroked his beard lightly and said, "Without him, the sage Gangchanger!" ”

"That kid is going to talk about it!" Li Kong sneered, at this moment his only good impression of Kong Yingda also completely collapsed, this is a sour Confucian, an old stubborn.

"Listen up!"

"Excuse me, Master, what is the Compendium?"

"The king is the minister, the husband is the wife, the father is the son, these are the three guidelines; Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, these are the five constants. ”

"Okay, then I may ask, the master said that the sage is constant, but I would like to ask, among the three outlines and five constants, where is the emperor who can't be close to his family?"

"You ......" Kong Yingda was stunned, and then began to roll his head, but to his surprise, even if Confucius was excluded, even Mencius's doctrine did not have this provision.

Later, there were some sages who said that 'there is no trivial matter in the heavenly family, and there is no selfish matter in the heavenly family', but it was said to welcome some people, and it was not a Confucian doctrine at all, but this sentence was used by the family gatekeeper, because only in this way can they reach into the heavenly family in a righteous and bright way and obtain the greatest benefits for themselves.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was speechless, Li Shimin was very happy in his heart, and his eyes looking at Li Kong were also full of appreciation.

But at this moment, Li Kong suddenly said: "It seems that the master has nothing to say, or is the master going to take out the rhetoric prepared by the family gate?" Oh, the kid forgot, the Kong family is now the biggest family in the world......"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Ying Daden was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Li Kong's words are vain, and the old minister ...... The old minister definitely does not have any selfish intentions of favoritism, please check it out to Your Majesty. ”

Li Kong sneered and said, "Master, is this a mistake? Then the Master is about the intimacy of His Majesty and his own children......

"It's the minister's fault, the minister...... The old minister is guilty! "Kong Yingda is about to cry, Nima and I are like this, can't you let go of a horse?

Li Shimin actually didn't really hate Kong Yingda, but this old sour Confucian was indeed a little excessive, and now that he knew that he was wrong, he was not the kind of unreasonable emperor.

So he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if you have words and dare to learn, you are the real minister, Kong Qing doesn't have to be like this, the meal is ready, let's stay and eat together." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kong Yingda wiped the sweat from his head and crawled from the ground
