CHAPTER XXXIV

(I was moved to finally have a VIP ticketΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's the weekend, and the achievements of the week are in these two days, please! )

"What is left for Datang in this position?"

Li Chun muttered to himself as if he had realized something.

Li Chundao:

"It has always been difficult to be a prince, that is, I have been a prince for more than 20 years, I have always been cautious, and I was almost expelled from the East Palace twice, but I have been obedient and never resentful, do you know why?"

"I don't know."

"It's actually very simple, and you'll understand it in the future. The so-called deep love is responsible. The emperor has always hoped that the crown prince he chooses will be perfect, and this perfect standard is completely in his heart. However, the metropolis as a crown prince has its own independent thoughts and will not always be consistent with the emperor, so there are often conflicts between the emperor and the prince. ”

Li Chun said in horror:

"Filial piety comes first, and the sons must follow their father's teachings and think twice before acting."

Li Chanted:

"You'd be mistaken, I don't need a prince who can only follow the crowd and make promises. You should have your own opinion. If there is any difference between me and previous emperors, it is that I hope that my prince will not only surpass me after he ascends the throne in the future, but also dare to think, dare to say and do, showing something unusual. You have to remember that your father is an enlightened monarch who will not be ruined by his words, and the reason why I have made you the crown prince is also because of your extraordinary insight and courage, and I hope you will be my right and left hand. ”

"Thank you for your father's appreciation, my son is ashamed. The sons must do everything in their power to assist their fathers. ”

"Good. Do you know that Jingzhao Wannian Ling Han Yu? ”

"Erchen knows that this person is upright and daring to speak, dare to do things, has outstanding talents, and is good at poetry and writing."

"Not bad. This person has an article "The Teacher Says", have you read it? ”

"The son is ashamed."

"You should read it. There is a sentence in it that says, 'The teacher does not have to be as good as the disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher', and it also says, 'There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry', which is really insightful. It can be inferred from this that the son does not have to be inferior to the father in everything, and the prince does not have to be inferior to the emperor in everything. ”

"The father is eloquent, majestic as Mount Tai, as bright as the Beidou, and his sons dare not look at him."

Hearing Li Chan say this, Li Chun couldn't help but be surprised. Since ancient times, it has been said that the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, the monarch is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the woman. Because the achievements of the agricultural era mainly rely on personal experience, and it is necessary to follow the rules rather than bring forth the new, although Li Chun has his own thoughts, but only relatively speaking, he has not risen from the individual to the height of the group, and Li Chun has seen his father and emperor dedicate himself to the layout of the Tang Dynasty in the past half a year, many insights and measures are beyond the scope of his cognition, and he has already admired his father's five bodies in his heart. I couldn't help but be stunned. Even Pei Du, the resident on duty, stayed there.

Seeing Li Chun's stunned appearance, Li Yu said with a smile:

"This truth is realized by reading so many imperial living notes, as well as combining my own experience as a prince for more than 20 years, you can slowly understand it. Han Yu is very knowledgeable, you can interact with him more. In addition, Du Sikong's masterpiece "General Dictionary" is a work of thick and modern and thin ancients, and you can often go to ask for advice. ”

"The retainers obey."

"I hope that in the next hundred years, when I meet the first emperor underground, I can tell the first emperor that my prince is stronger than your prince. Do it well, and don't let me down. ”

"Father's ......"

Looking at the figure of Li Chun leaving, Li Yu moved his muscles slightly, and thought secretly: "The prince's induction education has finally been completed, but I don't know how much impact this education will have on him and the later prince." "If you want to change an era, you must first change the concept of people who can affect the development of this era, this is Li Yu's idea, what he is doing now is to make arrangements for himself in the future in case of misfortune or luck to travel back. In the past six months, he has developed a deep affection for this era, and now that he has the ability to influence this era, why not try to do it?

Seeing that Pei Du was still meticulously recording his words and deeds, although he knew that the emperor couldn't look at his own living notes, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little curious about how Pei Du recorded himself, and saw that Pei Du was serious, so he smiled:

"Pei Aiqing has worked hard, can you let me see what I remember?"

As soon as Pei Du heard Li Chan say this, he hurriedly got up from his seat, was dressed properly, came to Li Chan and knelt down, and said:

"Your Majesty ordered, do you dare to disobey? It's just that the system is located, and the ministers dare not go beyond it, so please forgive your majesty. ”

Li Yu originally just wanted to joke with Pei Du, but when he saw that Pei Du was so serious, he almost accused himself of not knowing the rules, and the sense of accomplishment he had just gained from educating the prince immediately disappeared, and he felt a little unhappy, and said:

"What if I have to see it?"

Pei Du Lang said:

"Then please ask Your Majesty to remove the minister from his position as the housekeeper and demote the minister to a distant place, otherwise, the minister will still write to the monarch and father."

"Where have I been?"

"Your Majesty is a promising king. When it is understood that the purpose of the Emperor's Living Note is to provide a reference for later emperors to govern the country, and to leave a true record for history. In order to be true, historians must not be disturbed and record independently, and the reason why Dong Hu and Taishi Gong are called good history is that they can record history independently and truthfully. If the history books can be tampered with at will, then the deterrent significance of history to the emperor will disappear, and many emperors will act recklessly, and the ministers will advise with their reputations, and the emperor will say that the history books are decided by me. In the past, Taizong forcibly demanded a living note, but also impeached his subordinates, and vowed not to interfere again. The minister hopes that such a thing will not happen to His Majesty. β€οΌŒ

In history, the emperor's ministers have always attached importance to the evaluation behind themselves, just as a common man attaches importance to his reputation, and Tang Taizong does have a good time to look at the living notes, but Taizong does not buy the accounts of the historians, and when he saw the change in Xuanwumen, he directly criticized and said: You have written me too well. But after being impeached, Taizong did promise not to look at the living note again.

Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly woke up to the fact that the reason why most of the histories of Chinese dynasties are considered to be true and credible is not because there is such a system of respecting history, and there are these upright historians with professional ethics? Thinking that as a student of the history department, he almost played the role of a sinner in history and became a figure like Zhang Tingyu and Ji Xiaolan, and I felt ashamed. Road:

"If it weren't for Aiqing's reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake. I should be like Taizong to set the rules, and future generations of emperors should also be like me. ”

Pedullon said:

"Your Majesty knows that you can change your mistakes, and the country is fortunate."

Li Yu asked Pei Du to get up, and then asked:

"Pei Aiqing, what do I think of what I just said?"

Seeing the emperor's inquiry, Pei Du hurriedly lowered his hand and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty has seen Gao Zhuo, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves. However, the minister thought that there was something slightly wrong with His Majesty. ”
