Under the prince's day and night anticipation, Li Linfu finally took the initiative to visit the East Palace.

When the eunuch who passed the message came in and informed the Zuo Xiang that he wanted to see him.

The crown prince Zhao Xiao, who was copying the book, immediately threw away the pen in his hand and greeted Li Linfu at the door in person.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, I am really thirsty for you, and the past few days when I have been waiting for you to come over have really made me wait for the autumn water!"

The crown prince Zhao Xiao took Li Linfu's hand, led him into the East Palace, and then pulled him to sit beside him.

Li Linfu said with a smile.

"If you are not prepared, Li will not dare to come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince easily."

Prince Zhao Xiao asked.

"So, Lord Zuo already knows that I'm worried?"

"Then Lord Zuo Xiang may give me some guidance?"

Li Linfu was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"I know a little bit about it, but saying those words as my identity is probably suspected of sowing discord."

The prince immediately expressed his position.

"Zuo Xiang, just say!"

"Today's words, only you know and I know, and they will never reach the ears of a third person!"

Li Linfu thought about it and did not answer the prince's question, but first made a question.

"Does the prince know, why did Your Majesty get angry with you and let you be grounded?"

Zhao Xiao replied as a matter of course.

"Naturally, it's because I dug up Xiang Yan's sweet potatoes."

Li Linfu shook his head.

"No, no!"

"After digging Xiang Yan's sweet potato, as His Royal Highness the Prince, you only need to make corresponding compensation, why do you need to copy books and be grounded?"

Li Linfu looked at the eyes of the crown prince Zhao Xiao and said.

"Your Majesty's intentions, copying books and grounding are actually two intentions!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled, "Please give me advice." ”

Li Linfu said.

"Grounding, on the surface, it seems that the emperor hopes that you will be grounded to cultivate your mind and take off the impetuousness on your body."

"But in fact, in the mainland, what the emperor hopes is to keep some people away from you, and let you stop mixing with those people anymore!"

This is a statement that the crown prince Zhao Xiao has never thought of and never heard.

Suddenly he was even more puzzled.

"Who does my father not want me to come into contact with?"

Li Linfu did not answer immediately, but threw out another question.

"After Xiang Yan put forward the theory of firewood salary in Jiangnan before, His Majesty complied with Xiang Yan's request and set up a national policy of establishing public land and prohibiting the sale of fields in the world."

"What does the prince think this means?"

Zhao Xiao said.

"Isn't it so that all the people of the world can have land to plant and not be displaced?"

Li Linfu shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"While protecting some people, it is also weakening, or even harming, some people."

The prince suddenly realized.

"What Lord Zuo Xiang said is that Cui ......"

Li Linfu stopped him from continuing, but said that he just understood, and there was no need to say it.

"Which people is the emperor weakening, is who he wants His Highness to stay away from!"

Hearing this, the prince suddenly looked uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

For a long time, but he laughed at himself.

"So that's the case, they're all using me as a weapon!"

"Then the grounding and copying that Lord Zuo said are two intentions, and the intention of the grounding is said, what about copying books?"

Li Linfu said.

"It's for His Highness to learn strategy."

"It's really stupid to do something like Your Highness this time."

"Your Majesty's anger is not necessarily all about you ruining Xiang Yan's sweet potatoes."

"Maybe it's more angry at your immature ways."

"That's why Your Majesty asked you to come back and copy the book, so that you can learn the wisdom of the sages."

"I hope you will understand the method of struggle as soon as possible."

"It's all the heart of the son."

Prince Zhao Xiao suddenly swept away the haze and muttered to himself.

"I see...... The intention of the father turned out to be like this...... Is it? ”

Zhao Xiao hurriedly grabbed Li Linfu's hand again.

"The queen mother also asked me to find Lord Zuo Xiang to learn the method of struggle, please teach me!"

Li Linfu signaled to the prince to feel at ease.

"I went out of the Li family with the queen's mother, so naturally I should watch and help each other. Besides, I also received a big gift from His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally I should do things when I take the money. ”

"I came here today to give advice to His Highness."

Li Linfu seems to be particularly good at reasoning with others in a guiding way.

At this time, he threw another question to the prince.

"Your Highness thinks that there is a way to win in the world?"

This question stumped Zhao Xiao.

"The way to win? ...... Have it? ”

Li Linfu nodded.

"The art of war is to be invincible first, and then to be invincible."

"It means that we must first make ourselves invincible, and then we can wait for the enemy to show the opportunity to lead to defeat."

"In this way, it is the way to win."

Zhao Xiao still didn't understand it.

"How do you make yourself invincible?"

Li Linfu said.

"If you don't play, you won't lose."

This seems to be nonsense, how can you fight the enemy if you don't end up?

It seems to have seen the prince's doubts.

Li Linfu gave him a hint.

"Think about how the Cui family did it."

"Jiangnan is deflated, there are not so many people, after Xiang Yan returned to Beijing, did they take countermeasures? How did they deal with Xiang Yan? ”

This question, Prince Zhao Xiao had already figured it out just now.

"Use me as a gunman!"

The prince immediately understood.

"What do you mean, let me go find someone else to make a gun!?"

Li Linfu said with a smile.

"Look, haven't you already realized it?"

"In fact, a lot of truth has always been in front of us, but we haven't noticed it."

"Most of the truths in this world are not so complicated."

It felt like he had learned a lot, and the prince was very excited, but for a while there was something in his mind that he couldn't grasp.

So he asked again.

"Then the best candidate, who does Lord Zuo think is better now?"

"Please advise!"

Li Linfu came to the East Palace in a hurry, after all, the prince is now grounded, if the emperor knows that he is still running to the East Palace at this time.

It is inevitable to speculate that he has ill intentions.

So Li Linfu didn't dare to stay longer.

And this time he visited the East Palace, and when he left, he only left three words.

It was written on the book copied by the prince:

The eldest princess.

After Li Linfu left, His Royal Highness the Prince's personal old eunuch entered the study.

saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at an open book in a daze.

So he came over and asked.

"Your Highness? How's it going, are things going well? ”

Prince Zhao Xiao was still silent.

For a long time.

He seemed to be tired.

Even the voice of the speaker became tired.

"Uncle Li, I'm starting to regret it."

"I used to think that everyone was fighting against a head on the neck, I was still the prince, and no one in this world would be my opponent."

"But after meeting Li Linfu today, I understood."

"I'm too tender......"

"I'm so tender......"
