Chapter 58: Education on the Street

After making a decision, Li Kong took Li Chengqian to change direction and walked towards Dongshi, which was not far away.

"Since you asked me today, then I will talk to you well, but in the end, how much you can comprehend depends on yourself, because I can't teach you this."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Kong suspiciously, he had never heard anyone say that he couldn't teach this sentence.

Li Kong ignored Li Chengqian's doubts, but looked at the surrounding merchants and said, "Do you know what the emperor is?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the son of God, and the most powerful person in the world. ”

"Who taught you?" Li Kong was a little confused, he originally wanted to pretend to be a comparison, but now it seems that this product is completely stupid and sweet? Moreover, who said this sentence in the end? Want to beat someone, you're woody?

"What Mr. Yu Shinan said, what's wrong? Isn't it? Li Chengqian was confused, looking back, the emperor is indeed the most powerful person, otherwise how could he kill other people's lives?

Li Kong took a deep breath and suppressed the indignation in his heart, but he remembered Yu Shinan, this is the behavior of cultivating a faint monarch, what does he want to do?

But then he remembered that this Yu Shinan was a member of the Jiangnan family, and Xiao Yu could be regarded as allies, and it seemed that the minds of this group of Jiangnan families were still not extinct.

"You remember, the emperor is the most powerful person, but he is not the son of God, he is just the head of the entire Tang Dynasty, all the people in the world are his people, he must be responsible for these people, once Mencius said: 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light', which means that the people of the world are the most important, and the emperor is the last in front of these two.

In addition, it is true that the emperor has power, but you have to remember that these rights are given to him by his people, and only if the people obey him, he is the emperor, but if he forces his people to the point that they cannot live, then he is not an emperor, such as the former Emperor Yang of Sui.

Now your father is the emperor, but have you ever seen him extravagant? Have you ever seen him relaxed? Have you ever seen him for a moment when he wasn't thinking about the country and the people of the world?

The emperor is very tired, because he must be responsible for the whole world, otherwise there is a Confucian saying, 'Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers', and the wealth of the whole world is royal, why is your father so poor?

What's more, do you really think that Putian is really all the king's land? Are the shores of the land really all princes? Of course, we won't talk about this question first, but have you ever seen your father really be able to dictate in the court? ”

Li Kong's series of questions made Li Chengqian completely stunned, but if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case, but if the emperor is not the most powerful person, then why do so many people want to sit on it?

And listening to the meaning of Li Kong's words, the emperor is not only not a beautiful errand, but even the most bitter errand in the world?

Li Chengqian felt that his three views were a little collapsed.

But Li Kong didn't give him much time to digest these, but pointed to the surrounding crowd and said: "Some of these people are merchants, some are scholars, some are farmers and craftsmen, they only need to do their own things every day and everything will be fine, but the emperor can't, as a qualified emperor, he must know all these things, even if he is not proficient, he can't know anything, otherwise he can't reasonably arrange the people below to do things, and he will even be blinded by his subordinates and make stupid decisions."

Of course, the faint monarch will not think about it so much, but Cheng Qian, you are now the crown prince and the prince, you have to learn these things, unless you tell me now, you will be a faint monarch in the future, and hand over the country that your grandfather and father worked so hard to defeat to others, so that all the people in the world will experience war again. ”

"I ...... I don't want to be a faint king! Li Chengqian was angry and cried by what Li Kong said, gritted his teeth and glared at Li Kong, in the end he was just a teenager, no matter how mature he usually became, he would cry when he encountered this situation.

Li Kong sighed, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, and said, "I don't want you to be a faint gentleman, so you have to learn, but how to learn?" Do you know how a farmer farms? Do you know how craftsmen make it? Do you know how a businessman does business? Do you know what the scholars do every day? You don't know anything, and there's no such thing in books.

Once, I said to Lizhen, 'It is better to believe in books than to have no books', so now I will teach you another sentence: 'It is better to read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles', the so-called only practice can produce true knowledge, and only by practicing can you know where your shortcomings and shortcomings are, so, now you come to tell me, about Yu Zhengning and Yu Shinan Their words, which person do you choose to listen to? ”

"Yu Zhengning, I will go out more in the future and see the lives of the people in the world!" Li Chengqian's small fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of determination.

Li Kong nodded, and then said: "It's not enough to just look at it, the so-called 'everything in the world is knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article', so you not only have to watch, but also listen, but also do, listen quietly when listening, and do it seriously, Datang is still very weak now, your father is trying to make her strong, and your task is to make the entire Datang country achieve the peak of the past dynasties." ”

Speaking of this, Li Kong suddenly stopped, because he thought that now is not the previous life, if his remarks reached Li Shimin's ears, would it be regarded as a rebellion against Li Chengqian?

Thinking about those people who were executed in history, Li Kong couldn't help but shudder.

But Li Chengqian didn't think about it so much, but muttered: "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article?" The younger brother has been taught, but the younger brother is still young, and he will need more teaching from his brother in the future. ”

Li Chengqian realized, but Li Kong was blind, he had to find a way to round the words in front of him, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a lame young man in front of him who was hobbling forward with an old woman on his back and said, "What do you think when you see those two people?" ”

"Filial piety!"

Li Kong nodded and said: "Everyone says that the royal family has no family affection, because the emperor's position is too attractive, so the palaces of all dynasties are not peaceful, you are cheating, you fight for me, but your father is a good father and a good son, maybe he is not a good brother, but sometimes people are forced to do so."

But I hope you can remember that filial piety is just a kind of family affection, brother and brother Gong is not just a general sentence, I hope you can be a humble and courteous, respect for the old and love the young good prince, you are doing very well now, filial piety to His Majesty and Niangniang, love his younger brother and sister, remember your heart at this time, and continue to extend him. ”

"I will!" Li Chengqian nodded heavily.

Li Kong breathed a sigh of relief, Li Kong knew that for Li Shimin, the change of Xuanwumen was his forbidden body, and no one could touch it, otherwise it would be a disaster of death.

But because of this, he attaches great importance to his sons and hopes to completely put an end to that kind of thing, so now that Li Kong uses this to teach Li Chengqian, Li Shimin shouldn't be angry, right?

But the words have already been spoken, as for what Li Shimin did, he can only gamble, hoping that he will not be the most unlucky traverser.

It's just that no matter what, Li Kong decided that in the future, he could say less of this kind of thing, and try not to say it, so as not to say his head one day.
