It's time for the Confucian lecture once a year again! Every winter, after the first snowfall, Li Yuan will call his children and sit with him, while admiring the snow, while listening to the contemporary Confucianists talk about the principles of governing the country! This year, the snow fell very early and it fell very much! Li Yuan looked at the snow outside the main hall, and couldn't help but think about it, and ordered the center of the door to prepare for this year's lecture and snow appreciation! When choosing the great Confucian to teach, Li Yuan thought of the most advanced matter of the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Tianzun, so he ordered the national teacher Li Huo to teach tomorrow! Li Huo actually had no interest in lecturing, but this time it was different, Li Huo felt that he should give the emperor a good lesson! A lesson that he would never forget!

Early the next morning, Li Yuan had eaten early, dressed in very casual clothes, and came to the imperial garden early. When I looked at my sons who had been waiting for a long time, and looked at the respectful look they had when they waited for me, I didn't want to mention how unhappy I was! I really wanted to beat them up, but seeing that the children were all older, I had to give them some face! So I just thought about it! Looking at Li Huo, the national teacher, who came from afar, watching him slowly emerge from the forest, looking at his white body, holding a feather fan in his hand, and wearing a blue crown scarf. Li Yuan couldn't help but admire in his heart: "What a faction of immortal wind bones, master demeanor!"

Li Huo himself walked very slowly, very slowly, and very coquettishly! As he walked, he also sang in a low voice: "I am originally a loose person in Wollongong, and I am like a backhand in Yin and Yang. The first emperor went down to Nanyang to drive three times, and Liandong Wu destroyed Cao Wei for three points. The official seal went to Wuxiang Hou to take charge of the handsome seal, and the east and west conquered the north and the south to suppress the ancient and the present. King Wen of Zhou visited Jiang Shang Zhou's room, how can Han Zhuge compare to the predecessor of the gentleman. ”

Li Huo imitated Zhuge Kongming in the play, while carefully observing the expression of Li Yuan sitting above, and looked at the look of appreciation in Li Yuan's eyes, and his heart quieted down. I thought to myself, "If you pretend too much, you'll be finished!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Huo with a smile and asked, "Why is the national teacher so happy, and the little song he hums is so beautiful, I don't know how to explain it?"

I saw Li Huo come closer, bow deeply to the emperor, and said respectfully: "I was very happy to hear that my emperor recruited old ministers into the palace to give lectures yesterday. Thinking that the old minister was just a man in the red dust of the world, the emperor who could trust him, and he was a minister in the market, and the minister could not repay the kindness of my emperor when he died. Just now, the old minister compared himself to Zhuge Kongming and sang some country tunes, just to make the emperor happy!"

Listening to Li Huogong's words, Li Yuan said with a smile: "I think today's heavy snow is good, why don't the national teachers start with a poem, and then talk about some ways to govern the country, how about it?"

Li Huo hurriedly replied: "Just according to Your Majesty!"

After that, Li Huo, who only listened, said slowly: "Chang'an has nothing to do, and the wind and snow are in harmony. On the tree, because of the cold birds, he sat in the middle and cleaned up the idle officials. Shengge should be frequent, and laughter is more enjoyable. Thinking about today's meeting in the rabbit garden, Qionglin is full of flags. ”

Looking at the appreciation of everyone below, Li Huo said: "Poetry and poetry are all small paths, today I will tell you about the way I am best at calligraphy!"

After finishing speaking, Li Huo wrote a big character on the desk in front of him, and then motioned to the eunuch waiting next to him to hang the word high.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was the word "Yong". I saw that the word seemed to be written with a thick brush dipped in ink, and the font lines were thick and round, all in one go!

Li Huo pointed to this character and said: "This is the first 'Yong' I wrote when I was a child, that is when I was practicing writing this character, I wrote for a long time, suddenly saw the white goose in the water, and suddenly thought of Wang Youjun's 'Yong' character." In that word, I saw the courage of young people, and I saw the indomitable fighting spirit of young people. Therefore, the word 'yong' is done with one stroke, and there is no mud and water. The sleek and thick strokes of the pen represent the state of mind of my youth, which is to move forward in everything and never give up! This is the situation of my youth, young and frivolous, I don't know how to advance or retreat, I have not been tempered by the world, so I only see a blind advance, without any resistance!

Looking at the imitation of Mi Fu in front of him from the year of Mi Fu's 'Yong' word, Li Huo looked at the people below, and continued: "You can see that when people are young, the font of the words generally written will be large and bold, which represents the state of mind of the teenager at that time. And my font amplifies this mood and mood, making the font more bold and bold, and I don't know how to advance or retreat. The way I lived at that time was the same, so I would have been mingling with ordinary people, depressed, for many years. The state of mind of a teenager is simple and transparent. When I deal with the complicated things of the world with a transparent state of mind, I can only break the blood of my head when I touch my head. ”

Looking at the laughing crowd below, Li Huo continued: "If you see a person who writes like this 'Yong' character, then this person can be a friend, a friend who can be treated sincerely, because he will treat you transparently, and will not do anything to fool you! Of course, if such a person is used to govern the country, it will be good and bad!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Huo, smiled meaningfully, and asked, "I don't know sir, how can such a transparent and upright gentleman be inappropriate in governing the country!"

Li Huo replied: "There are all kinds of affairs in the country, and some things must be put on the bright side and handled by the ministers in a righteous and bright manner. For example, if the punishment and military talismans of the state are caused by storms before the laws and regulations are put into effect, they will bring very complicated variables to the handling of the matter! If we deal with the impermanence of hostile changes with a tangible and transparent mind, it is estimated that we will not gain any benefits! If the enemy is bad, we must be even worse, otherwise we will not be able to speculate on the enemy's deeds, and we will not be able to anticipate the enemy's actions and take the lead! Therefore, such people can only do things on the surface and can see good and bad things at a glance. And those that are too complicated will not work! Their minds are like a child, and they are not very reliable in doing things! Just like the so-called hairless mouth, they are not firm in doing things!"

After that, Li Huo wrote another word 'Yong', and then ordered someone to hang it up again. I saw this word, skinny, towering and straight. Looking at the word 'Yong' imitated from Ouyang Xun in the Tang Dynasty at that time, Li Huo said: "Later, the old man experienced more and more hardships in the world, and his mind became more and more calm and ruthless! The old man's arrogant bones have been sharpened to this shape, and there is basically no trace of smoothness. The word is straight with oblique, oblique with straight, soft with rigid, straight and curved, Huairou with killing! The word looks very thin, but it feels very sharp, it seems that the word has a knife in it, but if you look at it carefully, you find that it is full of silkiness! Such a person is just straight, knows the gains and losses, knows the advance and retreat, can live in the court, and can float in the market! People in the world, most of the fonts are like this! The more resolute and thin people in the font, the more rigid and self-righteous their personalities are, and the more suitable they are to be the ministers of Zheng Zheng. People with sleek and beautiful fonts have a weak and slippery personality, and they are suitable for doing things that need to be twisted and turned! There are no unsuitable ministers, only ministers who are not suitable for their position! Different people should be placed in the positions that are suitable for them, otherwise, they will suffer from them and do all kinds of harm without benefit!"

Li Yuan thought about the font form of his ministers, thinking about the truth of looking at people by words and selecting ministers by things, he couldn't help but nodded, and praised loudly: "Sure enough, Mr. Gao, I have a lot of benefits today!"

Li Huo looked at the emperor, and then lay on the table and wrote the word 'Yong', and then let people hang up! This word is the word 'Yong' that Li Huo casually pointed to when Li Yuan asked Li Huo, the word 'Yong' that was imitated from Zhao Ji of Song Huizong of that era!

When Li Yuan saw the word 'Yong', his eyes couldn't help but light up, he smiled with interest, the expression on his face became nervous, and he looked at the word 'Yong' seriously again!

Li Huo pointed to the word 'Yong' and said more seriously: "This is a 'Yong' character that often appears in my dreams, and this word represents a dream of mine, a dream of a strong country of mine!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he asked curiously: "The dream of the national teacher, how can a word represent a dream, tell me about it quickly! ”

Li Huo bowed deeply to Li Yuan, and then said with a straight face: "This word is a spirit I hope for our country, a spirit of the outside world! I want to be in the Tang Dynasty, although I live in the four seas, there are Qiang and Turkic in the north, Goryeo in the east, Tibet in the west, and Dali in the south. This is a country of tigers and wolves, and there will be a war with us one day. Now they seem to be weak, just to avoid the edge of our Tang Dynasty today, and to cultivate light. I hope that our Datang's foreign policy will be like a knife. In the face of the enemy outside, we are all fleeing with the wind. Look at this word, the golden hook is iron-cut, the pen is like a knife, the knife is sharp, and it is invincible!"

Li Huo paused, pointed to this word, and said affectionately again: "We Datang, my lord Shengming, the life of the four seas, the people live and work in peace and contentment." But we should always remember those enemies around us, and the territory they occupy is not even smaller than our Tang Dynasty. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we should be prepared and prepared at all times. The blade of our Datang will be the day when they will destroy the country and the nation! We keep this word in our hearts, and we must have a knife in our hearts! Whether they dare to come or not, our swords will wait there, let them cry, and let them shed tears! With the knife in our hearts, we will establish the Datang with an incomparably vast territory and establish the invincible Datang, this is the dream in my heart! But I deeply believe that this dream will soon come true! Ode to the Tang Dynasty and to my lord!

After that, Li Huo bowed to the ground, his face was full of tears, and he cried loudly!

Li Yuan listened to Li Huo's words, and also stood up excitedly, and said loudly: "Okay, good, good! What the national teacher said is exactly what I think in my heart, this is my policy towards foreign countries, whoever commits a crime, will be sharpened by the sword! Whoever does not commit, my heart will be sharpened!"

After that, Li Yuan sat down slowly and asked again: "I don't know what the national teacher thinks of my Datang internal affairs!"

Li Huo slowly got up from the ground, wiped the tears on his face, and pointed to the word 'Yong' again: "This word also contains Weichen's internal views!"

Li Yuan said strangely: "Is there still a mystery in this word?"

Li Huo replied: "This word looks like a silver hook and iron scratch from the outside, and the blade is exposed. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the internal skeleton structure of this character is so round and smooth, just like the word that Weichen wrote at the beginning, the transparent word 'Yong'!", after finishing speaking, he looked at the princes of Taizihe sitting below, and continued: "Your Majesty should care for your own children as much as you treat your own children. Regard the people as their children, and the people will regard your majesty as their parents! Externally, they should be as cold and ruthless as winter, and internally, they should be as warm and amiable as spring! The meaning of the word 'eternal' is completely different from that internally and externally!"

Li Yuan listened to Li Huo's words, thinking about dealing with his second son Li Shimin at that time, and couldn't help but have a headache again, that was his favorite son and the son who cared for him the most!

Looking at Li Yuan's increasingly red face and the slightly swollen half of his head, Li Huo stepped forward and said, "Is my lord suffering from a headache again because he has listened to Weichen's lecture for too long today?"

Li Yuan didn't speak, just nodded painfully!

Li Huo hurriedly said: "Yuan Tiangang, a disciple of Weichen, has recently returned to his position and comprehended the supreme divine law of his sect. He is the reincarnation of Zhenwu Tianzun, why don't Your Majesty pass him over. Take a good look at it for Your Majesty? If you think of his magic skills, it will definitely have miraculous results!"

Li Yuan hurriedly said weakly: "I don't know where your apprentice is now? I have an unbearable headache now, my whole body is sore, I can't go and invite him personally, I don't know if he can enter the palace on his own to show me!

Li Huo said with a smile: "When I came, he expected that His Majesty would have a headache! He came with Weichen, and he is currently waiting outside the palace gate, Your Majesty only needs a will, and he will be there immediately!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately happily passed on the decree and invited the immortal heir Yuan Tiangang to enter the hall. Looking at all this, Li Huo showed an intriguing smile on his face, and his excited mood gradually calmed down!
