Chapter 570: Three Days
In the general people's mind, fighting is not good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Chen thinks so too. It's just that he once heard that children should learn to fight, because they have never been beaten with fists and have no experience in beating, and if they are beaten suddenly, they will be beaten all of a sudden. Besides, a man can't always be a little wild, a little bloody, and fighting is not the best choice, but it's better than no choice.
Of course, before that, Li Chen would warn them that fighting depends on the situation, and sometimes a fight can solve things, so they will fight. Sometimes, fighting only makes things worse, fighting, just fighting, that's a brainless act.
"Use your brains." When it came to fighting, Li Chen rubbed their brains one by one, "Fighting is also shared, with brains to fight, and with no brains. Before fighting, think about the consequences, and think about whether you will win, how to deal with the endgame, and even, if there is any way to surrender without a fight, you can do it without a brain, and you can do it with a reckless man on the side of the road." "Are you reckless?" "It's not." The children shook their heads in unison.
If you ask, isn't fighting a destruction of brotherly feelings? Not so at the time. It's not that the fighting relationship is bad. The occasional fight between the brothers will also promote their relationship, mainly because Li Chen watched the two fight and always reconcile afterwards, so he let them go. And most importantly, if there are outsiders, they will be unanimous to the outside world.
Li Chen told them that in two aspects, if the object is an outsider, no matter who the other party is, the brothers must go together, the brothers are of the same heart, their profits are broken, and their own people can have fun, and outsiders are not allowed to bully their brothers.
That is, Li Chen indulged and made the two habitually fight, but they were not on land, but on the boat. They weren't even on big yachts, they were just small boats, long cano-type boats. It's a bit like a dragon boat, like a long and narrow boat.
How can this place withstand such a toss, the two of them had a fight, and the tragedy was that the boat capsized, and all five people on board fell into the water.
This is a big problem, there are five people in the boat, one emperor, four princes, no matter which one falls into the water, it is a big deal. In Chinese history, there is no shortage of people who fell into the water and drowned. Although it is very, it is not for nothing that those palace maids and eunuchs will drown in the small lake under the watchful eyes of those palace maids and eunuchs.
What's more, the water in the Taiye Pool is not shallow, and the people on the other boats were panicked and hurried over to rescue.
"It's okay, you all have life jackets, just hold the dinghy." , Li Chen was the first to float, grabbed the overturned boat, looked around, and the four children all floated. Grabbed the dinghy and waited for someone to come to the rescue. Compared with the people around him, he was not nervous at all, the standard emperor was not in a hurry, and he was in a hurry to die of eunuchs.
A few children are not nervous, now the water is a little cold, but they have strong firepower, they don't care at all, they just capsized the boat and got two culprits, and now they still have the heart to fight, Li Kai is angry, and splashed the water on the two with his hands.
Li Zi and Li Yi glanced at each other, and joined forces to attack the eldest brother, two against one, and Li Yi fell into an unfavorable situation. Li Run couldn't stand it anymore, so he joined forces with the eldest brother to fight against the third and fourth brothers.
It makes sense not to be nervous, because Li Chen mandates that everyone must learn to swim. Although there is an old saying that good swimmers drown, those who will drown are good swimmers. But Li Chen didn't let them swim more, but it was not a problem to deal with the current situation. In addition, they all have life jackets on them, so there is nothing to worry about.
There were life jackets in the Tang Dynasty? It's not simple, use kapok for clothes. Because of its rapid growth, kapok is light and soft, the fibers are short and fine, and the hollowness is as high as 86%, far better than the 25%-40% of artificial fibers and any other natural materials, and it is not easy to be soaked in water, so it is very suitable for making life jackets.
In addition, a lot of cork is stuffed inside. The buoyancy is large and can support people. Before everyone went into the water, they all put on life jackets, and the situation of drowning in a small ditch for no reason was impossible at all.
Actually, life jackets are nothing new. Even if there was no Li Chen, swimming circles appeared in the Song Dynasty. Use reeds and cork, and it's a lifebuoy. This has even been recorded in ancient times. There is a "Feng River with a famine" in the Book of Changes, and there is "an ancient leaf with a deep wade" in the Book of Songs, and the gourd is collected and dried and used as a lifebuoy. So, it's not surprising at all that there are life jackets.
Li Chen: Now that they have surfaced, there is no need to be nervous. Soon there were five people rowing in a relatively large boat. Li Chen got on the boat, and he was still in the mood to teach them a lesson.
"With the separation of powers, why should we supervise and balance each other? It is to avoid someone messing around, which will lead to the capsizing of the boat. Now you know what?'
"Suspicious people should be used, and people should be suspicious. Who doesn't have a little calculation in his heart, a little shortcoming, if he doesn't use any suspicions, he will miss a lot of talents. If there is no suspicion in employing people and there is a lack of supervision, people will become, even if they are credible, they will change over time. The ancients also had a saying that they knew the face but did not know the heart, so supervision was indispensable.
Li Chen took the opportunity to teach people and kept talking, the four sons secretly rolled their eyes, Li Chen was not very strict in disciplining them, they were not traditional strict fathers and mothers, they were quite close to Li Chen, but they couldn't stand Li Chen's dedication. I really want to say, master, you are Tang Seng, you are the reincarnation of Tang Seng.
They all compared Li Chen to Tang Seng in private, and they could understand the situation of Sun Wukong back then, it was probably not a tight mantra back then, but Tang Seng had to recite gong, and Sun Wukong was very painful.
It is also said that Master Xuanzang did not become a Buddha back then, but was reincarnated as their Lao Tzu, otherwise how could they be so able to read, they would rather be punished well than continue to be tortured by their ears.
The four sons are in pain, Li Yan and Li Run, and they feel that they have been affected by the pond fish, and we obviously didn't argue about it, but how could it have been moved. Li Zi and Li Yi deeply understood what it means to use their brains in a fight, and they obviously didn't use their brains just now.
"Now you also understand by the way that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." , Li Chen continued to teach people, until Yang Er threw a thick cloak on his head, he didn't shut up, he also felt a little cold.
The four sons were pardoned and quickly slipped away.
Li Chen was addicted to it, and took the opportunity to preach, he wouldn't say, in fact, he overturned the boat just now, and when the two were fighting, the boat shook relatively largely, and he added a little force to overturn the boat, in order to take the opportunity to teach them a lesson. Anyway, with life jackets, children can swim and are not afraid of any danger.
He didn't know that today's words, together with his previous lectures to his children, his conversations with the prime minister, and his talks about the four principles of the legal system, economy, taxation, and so on, would be compiled into the "Ten Lectures on Dazhong" and become the supreme guiding principles of the empire in all aspects in later generations.
I don't know that he took the opportunity to let the child fall into the water and teach the child how to move, and the more he recalled it afterwards, the more wrong a few children became, and he saw through it. After that, this act was handed down, and the children of the Li family in later generations have been taught this lesson in this way for each generation, and they will never forget.
He wouldn't know that because he was sick. He didn't take into account his age, and now he was fifty years old, and he couldn't compare to the children, and the weather was a little cold, and he patronized his tongue so fast that he fell ill that night.
"How long have I been sleeping?" , Li Chen woke up slowly, feeling very sad all over his body, his mind was so groggy that he didn't say anything, his body was very uncomfortable, one was lying down for too long, and the other was sore, as if he had been trampled by someone. My throat was very sore, my whole body was sweaty, and my nose was very uncomfortable.
"Thank goodness you're finally awake." , Hearing Li Chen's voice, a pretty face came over, and Li Chen said, "It's Bingbing, why did you just sleep, you have grown so big." "You're dizzy." , the beautiful woman was disgusted, "I'm Xiaohong. Fengyu, quickly spread Fengyu, and say that the saint has woken up."
Xiaohong hurriedly called someone to pass on Fengyu to diagnose Li Chen, "You are not Bingbing, you have to joke with your master, it's really Xiaohong, I just slept for a while, and you became almost like Bingbing, how long have I been sleeping?"
"You're a man, you're just sober." , Xiaohong now knew that Li Chen was not dizzy, she was joking with her, and patted him with a smile. Bingbing is Li Bing, Li Chen's children are all named after the word water, and Li Bing is his second daughter, much like Xiaohong.
"You've been asleep for three days." "Three days? It's been so long?' , Li Chen was surprised, no wonder I was unwell, "It's okay now, I've finally been sober these days, but it's a big deal." "It's been three days, no wonder I'm so sad."
Soon, a group of people came, and the first one had to be Fengyu, who was the emperor's attending physician. There are two people in total, specifically to see the emperor, and now that the emperor is seriously ill, it is naturally twelve o'clock, waiting in shifts, which can exhaust them.
The first is that they are old, and the second is that Li Chen has never been sick like this before, and he is so sick, they haven't worked like this for many years, and they are really not used to it.
I saw an old man, heard that Li Chen woke up, and hurried over, how did he know that he was in a hurry, and took a cup of steaming coffee from his hand, knowing that he was so in a hurry that he forgot to put down the coffee cup.
Smelling the strange and familiar taste, Li Chen suddenly came to his senses, coffee, a mysterious drink, was introduced to Datang by him, and now it is also an important product exported by Datang.
He got in good spirits and joked, "This cup is for me." , Feng Yu found out that he was still holding a cup in his hand, handed it to the imperial doctor who was following him, and glared at a few people behind him, and didn't remind me.
The few people in the back, with an innocent face, we didn't find it ourselves, Feng Yu stared at the Zhichang, stared at the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor stared at the forbidden master, and Li Chen was amused for a while.
"How does the saint feel?" , Finally, Li Chen woke up, and the joke just now worked, the atmosphere was not too stiff, Feng Yu asked. "This ceiling seems to be turning." , Li Chen was not lightly ill this time, he didn't remember the last time he was so sick, when was it.
Feng Yu asked about the condition, checked the pulse, and began to say the prescription, and the imperial doctor hurriedly began to copy. The curse forbidden master began to dance the great god, asking Li Chen to hurry up. Xiaohong sat on the sidelines, smiling. Although she was smiling, her face was very bad, her face was tired, Li Chen looked at her haggard, and felt a little distressed, "You have to rest more, you haven't slept all night." In the future, this kind of thing will be left to the imperial doctor.'"
"And later, and later, who cares about you." After hearing Li Chen's words, Xiaohong raised her hand again and patted him on the head.
Basically, he alone has more than a dozen full-time care for him. Two Fengyu are the attending doctors, and the four straight chiefs are deputies. The Imperial Physician is similar to the Emperor's personal health doctor, and whether he is sick or not, he will follow him on a rotational basis. If he is sick, he will also be responsible for feeding medicine.
In addition, there are also "main medicines" and "medicine boys" who are responsible for medicine, "palm solids" who are responsible for managing medicinal materials, masseurs who are responsible for massage, and people who are responsible for praying and mantras.
This time, the main reason is that he is too sick, otherwise he will not be guarded like this by the emperor for a minor illness, and the imperial doctor is responsible.
After a while, the concubines who got the news of his wake-up came over, and several of the children also came to visit, and the Zheng family all came, and everyone didn't look good, Xiaohong said, "These days, the sisters are taking turns to take care of you, and the children are also coming to visit sooner or later."
"Fengyu, wait and show them too." , Li Chen asked Feng Yu and others to show them together. In fact, he just said that Feng Yu has always been doing it.
Basically, Bongyu should have taken care of him exclusively. The concubines, princes, and daughters were taken care of by four doctors and doctors. However, a few years ago, Li Chen reduced the expenditure on the palace, and those doctors and medical assistants were all sent by him to assist in the medical school.
Not only to save money, but also because he is in good health and does not need so many people. The population in the palace is small, and the more than ten people around him alone are enough to take care of their family of more than ten people, so they will be eliminated by him like this, and they have not recovered so far.
"Master, this is for you to drink." , Li Bing walked over and held a bottle in his hand, "This is yak milk, you will get better soon after drinking it."
"Bingbing is so good, after drinking this, he will definitely get better soon." ,, Li Chen smiled and asked people to take the bottle, at present, he has no strength, he is afraid of pouring the bottle.
Yak, known as the boat of the plateau, is the most important livestock on the plateau, hard-working, can load heavy objects in a very difficult environment, and even a treasure is a whole, Li Chen raised a few in the palace. He is not fed and fed, and he is having fun, but for a purpose.
At present, Tibet is still fighting. Li Chen asked people to raise yaks, what the purpose is, it is naturally self-evident. The geographical location of Tubo is very important, it can intrude on Shuzhong, and it also poses a threat to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, so of course he does not plan to let it go. Therefore, the purpose of vigorously raising these highland boats can be imagined.
"Where's the child?" , Suddenly, Li Chen found one thing, he didn't see his eldest son, Li Yan, so he asked, but it was a few embarrassed expressions, Chao looked at Yang Er for a rare time, Yang Er stroked his jaw lightly, and didn't speak, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes drifted left and right, Xiaohong opened his mouth to speak, but didn't say anything, which made Li Chen have a little bad premonition.
