Next, Shi Bufan told these princes and princesses the story of the Emperor of the Pressure Mountain, and then they heard the process of Alexander the Great going all the way to the east, and then defeating many countries along the way, and then building a huge empire. This simply makes their blood boil, because what man doesn't have a hero dream, and what woman doesn't worship heroes? Even a young girl, especially one from an aristocratic background, worships heroes. Although many women may not be able to really marry a hero for various reasons, it does not prevent them from having a heroic dream. Especially in this Tang Dynasty, it was not like the Song Dynasty that admired literature and suppressed martial arts, but was truly martial. A man who can fight, can command thousands of troops, and can truly dominate the world is called a hero.

Moreover, they heard that Alexander the Great had inherited the throne since he was twenty years old, and had conquered the East for more than ten years, laying down an incomparably huge territory. Although they didn't know how big the territory was, it was definitely huge. Of course, Shi Bufan will not say anything about the current territory of the Tang Dynasty has actually surpassed Alexander's so-called great empire, and Alexander's Eastern Crusade has actually laid down a territory that is not as large as the traditional Chinese rule, but anyway, Shi Bufan is telling a story, so it is natural to ignore some realistic things intentionally or unintentionally, and it is okay to exaggerate.

As a result, in the eyes of these people, Alexander's territory was even larger than that of the Tang Dynasty. It makes many people feel enthusiastic, especially those male sons, who are even more admired.

"When Alexander the Great came to Asia, of course this Asia was what the people there called our eastern and western regions. They call us the Central Plains, Jiangnan to Lingnan, and even the body poison, and the area around the Western Regions is called Asia, or Asia for short. When Alexander encountered a King Solomon knot in our Western Regions, the King Solomon Feast was actually a knot made of several threads. There is a story that can be said to be the king of Solomon who can open this king knot in the simplest way, and he is also the king of Asia. For hundreds of years, people have come to see King Solomon's knot, but no one has been able to open it. When Alexander passed, Alexander found that he couldn't even find the head. Later, he also thought, why can't he be opened by his own rules of action? Alexander split it with his sword, and as a result, a puzzle that had plagued the area for hundreds of years was solved. ”

Li Shimin, who was listening outside, also felt a burst of emotion, it turned out that Shi Bufan used this allusion to smash the nine rings made of jade with a paperweight. Ordinary people will cherish the nine rings made of this jade very much, and dare not damage it easily. And this was given to Li Lizhen by the eldest grandson princess, and was regarded as a treasure by Li Lizhen, so no one dared to destroy it easily. However, no one realizes that when you don't dare to damage this valuable and careless identity of Li Lizhen and Li Shimin, you have also fallen into clichés and other people's rules. Only by breaking his own rules is that he is a real hero.

However, Li Shimin originally thought that Shi Bufan was a person who dared to break the rules, was dissatisfied with the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and had potential rebellion. But now that Li Shimin heard the story of Shi Bufan, he was finally relieved, it was not that Shi Bufan had the idea of rebellion, but just picking up people's teeth. The real hero is the same Alexander almost a thousand years ago. Even Li Shimin suddenly had a lot of admiration for this Alexander in his heart. was able to lead 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and conquered almost the entire world. Although he has not yet reached the Central Plains and China's traditional sphere of influence, he cannot be blamed for this.

"If it were me, would I have this ambition to conquer the world? Although this Alexander was not able to truly conquer the whole world, it was a crime of non-war. I really didn't expect that we in the Central Plains always thought that the West was a barbarian, but I didn't expect that as early as a thousand years ago, there would be such a hero. Li Shimin said.

However, Li Lizhi immediately asked: "What happened to this Alexander the Great, his huge empire?" ”

"Hehe, it's a pity that this Alexander the Great is determined to conquer the whole world. However, he died young, and after conquering the poison, he was blocked by the vast mountains and was unable to make it to Middle-earth. And he mistakenly thought that it was the end of the world, and his soldiers had been on the expedition for more than ten years, and they were tired and planned to go home. However, on the way home, Alexander fell ill and died. In the end, Alexander's half-brother succeeded to the throne, while Alexander had only one posthumous son. However, in the case of those days, Alexander forcibly twisted together peoples of different cultures and ideologies by force. That was built on Alexander's mighty prestige, not on the stability of the empire as a whole. So after Alexander's death, his generals split, and finally Alexander's empire was divided, and the powerful Alexander empire was just a flash in the pan. ”

And immediately the royal family scolded: "Those generals are really rebellious, this kind of person will not end well!" ”

Everyone began to shout that Alexander's generals were rebellious and should not have carved up this huge empire in this way. However, Shi Bufan just smiled and did not speak, because in the case of those days, Alexander relied on his own personal military prestige to rule, and the entire empire was maintained on him alone, and if he died, this huge empire would be divided. And as long as you are a truly mature politician, you will know that this is not reliable.

"Shimin, this Alexander is just a Xiang Yu, even if he is a hero, what can he do? Isn't it falling apart in the end? The eldest grandson and princess hurriedly persuaded Li Shimin, hoping that Li Shimin would not learn from this Alexander, after all, Alexander's empire would not have good consequences later.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I won't learn from him, but this Alexander, it is undeniable that he will always be a hero." Since Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself, there are far more people who have heard of Xiang Yu than those who know Liu Bang. Ordinary people admire Xiang Yu and despise Liu Bang. And if a person can have Alexander's great cause, it will not be in vain. If my goal wasn't to rule the world, I'd rather be an Alexander. ”

"Alexander also said a few famous words, would you like to hear them?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Yes!" Everyone said together.

"Before Alexander's crusade, he gave his land, slaves, and all kinds of wealth to others, leaving almost nothing for himself. And when he was on the Eastern Crusade, most of his wealth was distributed to his soldiers, but he left little wealth. And when he is asked why he is doing this, he replies that he will give his wealth to others and keep his hope to himself, because it will bring you countless riches. ”

Hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation, even Li Shimin outside began to ponder. Give your wealth to others and keep your hope to yourself, and this hope can bring countless riches. And this makes even Li Shimin feel emotional, because as a hegemon, it is really not easy to be able to look down on wealth so much! Such a modest wealth is definitely the essence of a British lord. If a person is too greedy for wealth, then this person will definitely not be successful. Just like the monarchs of many dynasties, they are very worried about those courtiers who are not greedy for money and lustful. So when Wang Jian led 600,000 Qin troops to the expedition, he desperately asked for land before the expedition, and this was just hoping to reassure Qin Shi Huang. If a subordinate courtier is not greedy for money and lustful, then he will definitely be suspicious of the emperor in the end. And this Alexander understands this truth, and it is also extraordinary.

"Alexander also said, "If the mountain does not come to me, then I will go to him!" The meaning of this sentence tells us that there is no such thing as success without a reason in this world. Don't expect success to fall from the sky, and take the initiative to make you successful. And in the end, it is necessary to rely on your own efforts, rather than hoping to be able to let success come by itself. ”

"The deadliest enemy on the battlefield often has a face that people can't remember. The flock led by a lion is far more powerful than a lion led by a sheep. ……”

Next, Shi Bufan also introduced a lot of stories about that Alexander to these princes and princesses, especially the philosophies in many of those stories, which made those students feel fascinated and seemed to be very interested. This makes them all feel very good and very interested. When Shi Bufan saw that they were interested, he also took the initiative to continue to tell stories, and even dug deep into those various stories, hoping that these princes and princesses could gain some philosophical knowledge through these stories, so that they could truly understand the truth.

And every time Shi Bufan said these famous words and some stories, this made the students of those royal families feel very good to listen to. Even Shi Bufan also derived from it, and then derived a lot of things, so that those students also accepted a lot of new knowledge and truth, and then they also understood a lot.

"Alright, let's go!" Li Shimin, who was outside the door, said to the eldest grandson, the princess.

But the eldest grandson and princess immediately said: "Shimin, what about the nine links? It was made of fine jade, the most important gift I ever gave to Lizin, but he smashed it? ”

Princess Eldest Sun was obviously unwilling, such a valuable nine-link was smashed by Shi Bufan like this, and it was also a gift from herself to Li Lizhen, of course she was not happy. Any mother who gives a gift to her daughter is actually smashed by someone, of course, she does not have much affection for the person who smashed the gift she gave to her daughter.

But Li Shimin said: "No, no, no, although Lizhi doesn't have a jade nine-link ring, she has something more valuable than this nine-link, something immeasurable." ”

Li Shimin left after speaking, obviously he was very satisfied with the story told by Shi Bufan today, and he did not plan to continue to pursue Shi Bufan's breaking of this nine-link incident. On the contrary, Li Shimin thinks that the story told by Shi Bufan is more valuable than the nine rings. And the philosophy of life that Li Lizhen learned from it, and even the philosophy of life that those students of the royal family can learn, is something more valuable, not something that can be compared to the nine links made of jade. Li Shimin is also very deeply aware that the wealth in this world is fleeting, and only the knowledge he has mastered can bring him infinite wealth.

"Keep your hope to yourself, because it can bring you infinite wealth. And this hope, that is, knowledge, don't look at the nine links of beauty being shattered, but she has gained more and more precious things, that is, knowledge and insight. As long as there is knowledge and insight, what wealth cannot be obtained? Being able to hear the story of this Western Alexander, not to mention a jade nine-ring, even if it is ten hundred, I will not hesitate to do it. Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson, the princess.

When the eldest princess heard Li Shimin's words, she also followed. Because she also knows that Li Shimin has no idea of holding Shi Bufan responsible, because Li Shimin has seen more, and he has seen more than just this nine rings. To be precise, Li Shimin and that Alexander are the same, they are both one who does not value wealth, but attaches importance to talents. With talent, with knowledge, then he will bring you infinite wealth. The wealth of reality will always be spent one day, and the wealth of knowledge will never go out of style. Knowledge is the most important treasure in this world, and knowledge can bring hope, compared to those gold, silver, jewelry, jade and beautiful objects, it is just a passing cloud.

"Shi Xiaoshu, you can tell us another story!" "Yes! Let's tell another story! "Well, let's talk about one more, and we'll have to listen to it!" ……

One by one, these students also want to continue listening to stories, because listening to stories is very interesting, especially the stories of heroes, which are very popular with both boys and girls. Boys want to be heroes, so learn heroes. Girls want to know heroes because they admire them, so they must love this kind of story very much. Now they are clamoring to hear the story, to hear the story of this hero.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story, I'll give you another story, you listen to it......"

Then, another story began to be told, and the children all pricked up their ears and listened, and none of them deserted.
