This kind of cheating daddy thing is going to ask my opinion? Your Majesty the Emperor, where is your usual dictatorship?

Du Shiyi couldn't help but scold in her heart, but she realized more and more that it was rumored that Li Longji had favored Concubine Wu Hui for more than ten years, and even those newly, young and beautiful concubines in the harem could not enter the eyes of the law

In the flash of light, his mind spun rapidly, and then he asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty asked, do you want the ministers to give a lecture to King Shou, or is it the same as the rest of the Jixian Hall scholars, not only King Shou, but also the other princes and kings to listen to the lecture together?" ”

"How about listening to the lecture alone? What about the kings listening together? ”

Du Shiyi straightened up and replied calmly: "The ministers heard that all the princes and teachers have regulations, and they are not taught by specialized teachers, in order to prevent people from instilling all kinds of private thoughts into the prince because of their own selfishness. Therefore, if the minister is the commander of King Shou, even if the minister will not think so at the moment, he cannot guarantee that he will not instill some private goods of the minister in King Shou in the future. You must know that the ministers have done a lot of wonderful ideas over the years, but there are also a lot of deviant ideas, if the time comes, if the prince is bad, wouldn't the minister be sorry for His Majesty's love? And if he lectures not for one person, but for kings, the ministers must not restrain themselves from bringing out certain things that should not be spoken. ”

Li Longji was stunned by Du Shiyi's straightforward answer, and then asked with interest: "The so-called deviant idea, Du Qing also said to me?" ”

"When he was young, he once found a map of the world drawn in the Han Dynasty in the ancient scrolls in his home. Because I see that beyond the Central Plains, there are more continents across the ocean, so I have always longed for it. However, later the fire in the house burned down this map, but the minister could not suppress his curiosity about those foreign countries, and bought a lot of real or fake maps from merchants from all sides at a high price. Just a few months ago, the minister also sponsored Wang Changling, whose term of office as a school secretary had expired, and his friend Gao Shi, and asked them to go to the Western Regions to explore the affairs of the Great Food Country. ”

Du Shiyi didn't hesitate to talk nonsense, and when he saw that the son on the throne didn't think he was angry, but didn't interrupt, and continued to listen to himself, he naturally continued to open the river: "Therefore, when the minister went to Jiangnan, he once went to the coast of the East China Sea to look into the distance, and imagined that there was some place on the other side of the sea. Once, the minister suddenly saw a big ship sailing in the distance, not like seeing people on the flat ground, from small to large, but first saw the mast, and then saw the sail, and the most rearly hull only entered the field of vision as if surfacing the surface, at this time, the minister couldn't help but think, the ancients were round in the sky, why didn't the ship behave first small and then big, but appeared like this? Could it be that the world of this world is originally round? ”

Taking out such one of the most common phenomena in modern science, he followed it up and threw out a series of arguments that did not match the existing truth, as if he was a hundred thousand things, until he found that Li Longji gradually showed a somewhat headache expression, and Concubine Wu Hui was even more misty, although there was still lingering disappointment on his face because of his refusal, but more dazed. Seeing that the time was coming, he whispered: "Therefore, the minister has only had Chen Jizhen as a real disciple for so many years, just because the minister has so much to do, except for a blank piece of paper like Ji Zhen, it is difficult for others to bear it." It's hard to say how long Yuwen Dalang can last. ”

Li Longji pondered the words that Du Shiyi had just said, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that his three views were ruined, thinking that some of his sons were uneasy, he finally waved his hand with some interest, and said conclusively: "Okay, okay, I understand your difficulties, you are already busy enough, if you have more responsibilities as a professor, the burden will be too heavy." Concubine Hui, Eighteen Lang is also my favorite son, and I will definitely choose the best bachelor to be his teacher. ”

"Then the concubine thanked His Majesty on behalf of Eighteen Lang." Concubine Wu Hui obediently changed her nickname to a formal title, thinking that Li Longji would return to the palace, but after standing up, the Emperor of Lu Dao suddenly said again, "I plan to go to the pear garden to see the new dance rehearsed by the musicians, Du Qing used to be good at pipa, and the rhythm is also a must, so go with me." ”

"The minister respectfully obeys the edict."

Li Longji unexpectedly took Du Shiyi to the pear orchard, and when the others saluted and sent off the monarch and the minister, they all looked at each other. Concubine Wu Hui didn't achieve her goal today, so she was very unhappy, and after calling Li Qing and her young son to accompany her, she left directly. As for the other kings, they greeted Jiang Du Dou Yi with a smile, and some people curiously asked questions about Zhang Xing, who was in the limelight today. When everyone gradually dispersed, Zhang Xing, who had dealt with so many golden branches and jade leaves for the first time, had just raised his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, when he heard a faint voice in his ears.

"Tell your family Du Zhongshu that someone has taken a fancy to his female disciple, tell him to be careful."

Zhang Xing had never seen a jade slave, only heard someone mention that there was such a person, and at the same time he was taken aback at the same time, he immediately turned his head to look at the place where he came, but found that the person who spoke was actually a person he had never thought of - it was no one else, it was the current prince, Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, saw that the other party was walking away with King Guangwang of E, and he only felt that his heart was a mess.

As a foreigner who had only stayed in Hedong and Hebei in the past, and had never been to Liangjing, he at most only knew that there were often brothers in the emperor's house when he was reading history books in the past, but he didn't know anything about the grievances between the prince and other princes and kings at the moment, and the crown prince actually said such things to him, wouldn't he be worried that he would leak it?

On the other side, Li Longji was in great interest, and when he got out of the polo field, he didn't sit on foot, but took Du Shiyi and his entourage to the pear orchard. Especially as soon as he entered the place where the sound of bamboo orchestras was bursting, he gestured and withdrew most of his entourage, leaving only Gao Lishi and a few eunuchs by his side.

As she walked, Du Shiyi sensed that something was wrong. Although the road under his feet is paved with bluestones, the surroundings are becoming more and more secluded, and the music that seemed to be in his ears just now seems to be getting farther and farther away, vague and not very clear. He quietly glanced back slightly, and found that Gao Lishi and the others had been left behind twenty or thirty paces away, and he immediately realized that he was afraid that Li Longji had something to say to himself.

"Du Qing just resigned to give a lecture to King Shou, and he also came up with such a strange reason, I just want to ask you, what if it is the prince who asks you to be your teacher today?"

"The ministers are as sincere and fearful, and they dare not obey the edict." Du Shiyi saw that Li Longji suddenly turned around and asked such a question, so he said calmly, "Whether it is the prince or the king of Shou, they are all the flesh and blood of His Majesty, and the age difference between the ministers and them is not so big, if those Jixian Hall scholars are old and calm, if they are really familiar, I don't know when they will forget their feelings for a while, and treat them with the mentality of ordinary people, in case there is any negligence, it will be very bad." ”

"Then I ask you again, although the prince has been a prince for many years, but his mind and knowledge are not worthy of being a king, and King Shou is young and intelligent, and he can read it with his eyes, if I want to abolish it, what do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty is in charge of housework, and the minister doesn't dare to say much." Du Shiyi saw that Li Longji's color changed slightly, and after he said such a sentence that Li Mo said to Emperor Gaozong back then, thus making the final word and creating the famous words of the martial queen who reigned in the world in later generations, he said in an extremely flat tone, "Throughout the ancient and modern times, many Ming monarchs in history have been more than princes. Emperor Jing Yi was the crown prince, so there was a strong voice of the Han Dynasty chasing the Huns; Han Wu abolished the crown prince, so Emperor Zhao died in his prime; Emperor Wen of Sui was the crown prince, so there were two emperors of Yang and died in the world; As for other less famous kings who deposed the crown prince, they abounded. One abandonment and one standing, there are successes and failures, gains and losses, all in the next thought of His Majesty. As an outsider, the minister's words may not be to the heart of His Majesty, but I hope that His Majesty will be cautious. ”

Du Shiyi cited Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wen of Sui, three famous emperors in history, as examples, some of the successors did make a lot of achievements, some of the successors did nothing, and some of the successors directly defeated the country, so they made their thoughts clear. Although this sounded much more tactful than a direct direct admonition, but when Gao Lishi, who sent other eunuchs to guard from afar and got a little closer, he couldn't help but secretly praise Du Shiyi's clever words.

Today's jealousy and dislike for the prince are already very heavy, not so much because Concubine Zhao Li is dead, and the prince has long been without the holy family of the year, but because the adult prince is getting older, the easier it is to make people feel uneasy - think about it, the position above tens of thousands of people under one person seems to be beautiful, but as the son of heaven, who is not afraid of being seized by the prince who is in his prime? Now Du Shiyi doesn't say who is good and who is bad between the prince and King Shou, but just reminds the Son of Heaven that there are risks in the future for the prince, and he added the word prudent, which is enough for Li Longji to think about it.

In all fairness, although Concubine Wu Hui is now deeply favored by the saint for a long time, the things in the harem are really uncertain about the future

"What Du Qing said is much more pertinent than those who blindly say that the prince is wrong." Li Longji nodded with relief, and then happily invited, "That's it, I was aroused by you today, and I am going to play the drum in a while, how about Du Qing harmonize with the pipa?" ”

"Since Your Majesty has this Yaxing, dare not accompany him?"

In the pear garden, he accompanied Li Longji, who was full of interest, from playing the pipa to discussing music notation and music theory, and got the permission of the Son of Heaven to meet Gongsun Auntie, which took more than an hour, and when Du Shiyi left Luoyang Palace, it was already a matter after Shen Shi. After leaving the palace gate and crossing the Tianjin Third Bridge, he saw Zhang Xing walking up quickly. Realizing that the other party had been waiting here until now, he couldn't help but sigh: "Just go back first when you leave the palace, why waste time here all the time?" ”

"I was also going to go back, but after His Majesty and Zhongshu left, the prince ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring a sentence to Zhongshu. Seeing that Du Shiyi really lost the relaxed expression just now, Zhang Xingfang lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that someone is eyeing the little lady of the Yang family who taught pipa in the past, please be careful with Zhongshu." ”
