"The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; The way of man is not to fight. On the surface, the meaning of this sentence is to teach us that the truth of God nurtures all things without harm, and the truth of being a man is to know how to practice without conflict with the world, but it can also be regarded as Lao Tzu's admonition to the king, for the people, the king is the sky, that is, the saint, and as a king, we must not compete with the people, and not fighting is also one of Lao Tzu's core ideas......"

In the East Palace, Yu Zhining is explaining Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" to Li Chengqian in front of him, he is proficient in Zhou Yi and is good at learning from Lao Zhuang, while Kong Yingda next to him is after Confucius, and he is also the most famous Confucian master in the Tang Dynasty.

Yu Zhining explained the Tao Te Ching, and Kong Yingda next to him also explained the Tao Te Ching from the perspective of Confucianism from time to time, although Confucianism and Taoism are different, but Confucius also once asked Lao Tzu for advice, so Confucianism and Taoism have something in common, plus Confucianism and Taoism have influenced and blended with each other over the years, so most readers are no strangers to the doctrines of Confucianism.

Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda spoke seriously, and Li Chengqian, who was sitting opposite the two, also knelt there very respectfully, on the surface it seemed that he was listening very seriously, but from his half-open and half-closed eyes, there was a little impatience, although he tried his best to hide it, but as long as a careful person could still see it.

After a long while, Yu Zhining finished today's lesson, and then gently closed the book and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, today's lesson is over, although the things in the books are a bit boring, but they contain countless truths, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can apply what he has learned, although we can't reach the realm of the ancient sages, but don't go against their teachings!" ”

"Thank you Zuo Shuzi for explaining to me, and also allowing me to answer many doubts in my heart!" Li Chengqian stood up and saluted Yu Zhining and the others, and the impatience in his eyes was also restrained by him, and he really looked like a good student.

Although Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda have old-fashioned personalities, their eyes are not blind, and they can see just now that Li Chengqian didn't listen to them at all, just acting on the surface, but they can't blame them, so they can't directly debunk Li Chengqian's fake appearance, that will only show that they are teachers who have no bearing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed really a lot during this time, so that the ministers and others are also a little at a loss." Yu Zhining had a fiery temper, and although he couldn't accuse Li Chengqian of perfunctory to their faces, he couldn't help but sneer.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Yu Zhining and others was very stiff before, and they were not willing to listen to their lectures at all, so Yu Zhining and others also confronted and admonished them many times, and even quarreled with Li Chengqian, but it had no effect.

But just some time ago, Li Shimin suddenly severely punished Li Yuanchang and others beside Li Chengqian, and also transferred Zhang Xuansu out of the East Palace, Zhang Xuansu can be said to be the person with the most fierce words against Li Chengqian, as long as Li Chengqian makes a slight mistake, he will be severely criticized by him, for which Li Chengqian also wanted to let Zhang Xuansu leave the East Palace many times, but Zhang Xuansu was personally arranged by Li Shimin to the East Palace, so Li Chengqian had no choice but to take him.

It was also Li Shimin's purge of the East Palace before, and as a result, Li Chengqian suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he was no longer resistant to Zhining and others, even if he was just pretending on the surface, it was much better than the previous bad attitude, you must know that Li Chengqian even sent someone to assassinate Yu Zhining before.

"People are all going to change, before the prince was too young, so he did some ridiculous things, and I hope the two concubines don't blame it!" In the face of Zhining's ridicule, Li Chengqian was not angry at all, but said with a smile, which made Yu Zhining also angry, and finally could only snort coldly and stop talking.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is good, people will change, I hope that the prince can be consistent with his words and deeds, and His Majesty will definitely be very happy when the time comes!" Kong Yingda also said at this time, compared to Zhining, his personality is milder, but when he saw Li Chengqian's fake appearance, he was also angry in his heart, they worked hard to give Li Chengqian a lecture, but the other party couldn't listen to half of it, which really made people feel speechless.

"I also understand my father's hard work better than anyone else, so I hope that the two of you will teach more in the future, and don't live up to your father's trust in you!" Li Chengqian replied with a smile again, although his tone was cordial, but it implied a sharp edge.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Yu Zhining, who was silent next to him, was also angry in his heart, and he just wanted to say something, but he saw Kong Yingda preemptively say: "Your Majesty's entrustment, I will definitely not forget, today's class has been finished, and I will be responsible for explaining "Mencius" to the prince tomorrow, and I hope that the prince will preview his homework!" ”

After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he saluted Li Chengqian again, and then pulled Yu Zhining, who was unwilling, to leave, and Li Chengqian also sent the two out of the hall with a smile on his face, and did not turn around and go back until Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda walked far away.

"Chongyuan, what are you pulling me for?" As soon as he left the palace gate, Yu Zhining shook off Kong Yingda's hand, and said with an angry expression on his face, Li Chengqian's words just now were thorny, and he naturally couldn't bear it with his temper, so he had to admonish him again no matter what.

"Zhong Mi, why are you confused, before His Majesty transferred Brother Xuan Su out of the East Palace, it was because his words were too intense, not only could not have any effect, but only let the prince deliberately go against us, now although the prince is just for show, but it is much stronger than before, so we also have to make some changes, don't clash with the prince head-on at every turn!" Kong Yingda also said bitterly at this time, his attitude is that it is okay to advise, but he can't be angry like Yu Zhining just now, otherwise it will only make the relationship that has finally eased up stiff.

"This ......" Although Yu Zhining has a hot temper, he is not stupid at all, and he feels reasonable when he hears Kong Yingda's words, but he quickly said helplessly, "Even if the prince has changed, I always feel that he is acting, and he is only acting for His Majesty, if His Majesty asks about the prince's situation in the future, how should we answer?" ”

"You can answer how you want, as long as we do our best, Your Majesty is the father of the prince, and he knows more about the prince's situation than we do!" Kong Yingda spoke again at this time, after Zhang Xuansu was transferred out of the East Palace, he also understood Li Shimin's intentions, so he tried to avoid conflicts with Li Chengqian during this time.

"In fact, the crown prince has become what he is now, and the roots are still with the king of Wei, and I heard that the king of Wei has been wooing the ministers of the court all over the world during this time, and if it goes on like this, the prince will only become more and more extreme!" Yu Zhining spoke again at the moment, and when he mentioned Li Tai, the king of Wei, his face also showed dissatisfaction.
