Chapter 248: What is missing is resistance

Wei Zheng hesitated for a long time and sighed: "What do you think right and wrong are?" ”

When the wind blows, there will be a drizzle drifting into the Chongwen Palace, Zhang Yang stood under the eaves and looked at the rain with a helpless expression, "First of all, I am a good person, how do I know if others are bad people." ”

"It seems that the rain will not stop for a while, so the old man will take his leave first."

Bidding farewell to Wei Zheng, Zhang Yang walked towards the East Palace.

Chongwen Hall and the East Palace are quite close, only a few steps away, I thought it was best not to get along with each other.

Li Gang's instructions can be regarded as not seeing, when it never happened, and I am not familiar with him anyway.

But now that everyone has passed away, an old man's entrustment, if he doesn't agree, he feels a little guilty.

As if it was for a peace of mind, Zhang Yang took a deep breath and walked into the East Palace, and the guards of the East Palace did not ask, nor did they stop him, it seemed that Li Chengqian had specially explained.

Just a few steps into the East Palace, a figure was walking towards here.

looked at the person carefully, isn't this the teacher's youngest son, Zhang Da'an?

"Brother Daan, it's been a long time." Zhang Yang arched his hand.

"Brother Zhang is older than me, let's call me brother for the time being."

"My teacher, you are the father, and the younger brother of Brother Elephant is my younger brother, so there is no need to be too restrained between you and me."

Zhang Da'an scratched his head, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw off Mr. Li Gang and came back early this morning, and now he will give him the old man Dai Xiao." ”

At the beginning, he hoped that Li Shimin would bring the three brothers of the teacher's family to the Ministry of Rites, but Zhang Da'an was left in the East Palace.

Zhang Yang whispered, "How long have you been working in the East Palace?" ”

Zhang Da'an raised his head and thought, "It's been three years, since I was twelve years old, my father asked me to follow the prince to run errands, and on weekdays, he led the prince's horses, took care of the East Palace, and helped the prince sort out the books. ”

Halfway through the words, Zhang Da'an smiled innocently again, "When Li Baiyao was here, he would often say a few words, and he would accuse me of everything, saying that I was short-sighted or something. ”

Zhang Da'an, who has been studying with the prince, has also suffered a lot of grievances before.

And those who followed the prince were the second generation of powerful people of the Tang Dynasty, such as Gao Cheng, Changsun Chong, and Li Chongyi.

On the contrary, it was just a housekeeper who accompanied the prince to study, and there was no place, and Zhang Da'an was still so young.

At present, he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, wearing a kudzu cloth on his head, and he is dressed as a subordinate, and he does not have the aura of the guards in front of the East Palace.

"Zhang Yang, why are you here?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I have already read Mr. Li Gang's letter, so I came to see the prince." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, pulled Zhang Yang into the hall, "Hurry up and enter the hall to speak." ”

The drizzle was still falling, falling silently on the land.

Zhang Da'an saluted awkwardly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't notice him at all, shook his head in discouragement, walked to the front of the hall and stood quietly.

The hall was much warmer, and the stove on the side was still burning.

Li Chengqian was wearing a coarse cloth mourning dress, "What is written in the teacher's letters?" ”

Zhang Yang took out the letter in his arms and handed it to him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a look." ”

Li Chengqian took the letter, looked at the content on it, and smiled a little unexpectedly, "The teacher asked you to be a member of the East Palace?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "That's right." ”

Li Chengqian then looked down and frowned unconsciously, "The teacher's prejudice against the old nobles and the family is still so heavy. ”

Zhang Yang smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's a little prejudiced." ”

"I'll go to my father tomorrow and let you be the head of the East Palace."

"In the future, I will serve in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness Prince Lao will take care of it."

Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, "Lone often talks about you with the teacher, especially when I saw your words of self-encouragement that day, it was like a young man who was idle and sad." ”

Zhang Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, listening to Li Chengqian's narration while observing the furnishings of the East Palace.

There are not many palaces in the palace, such as the Lizheng Palace, which is still a very good palace from the outside, but when you walk into it, you can feel that the queen's Lizheng Hall is full of children's clothes, which is not much different from ordinary women with children.

Most of the princes and princesses in the palace were also brought up by the queen.

On the contrary, the interior of the Manna Hall looks more luxurious.

This East Palace also looks very simple, with only the necessary furniture, but the ceiling is quite high.

"The teacher also said that you are a studious person, good at diligence, ridiculous at play, what good words."

I think it is because Li Chengqian often talks to Li Gang about being able to come to the East Palace, and this is why Li Gang's letter will be born.

Everyone has passed away, and it is difficult to find out which point this old gentleman has taken a fancy to him.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the crown prince and chose Li Gang in this godson.

Li Gang is a very upright person.

This old gentleman is very good except for the bizarre eight characters.

Zhang Yang asked in a low voice, "It seems that this East Palace is quite deserted." ”

Li Chengqian sighed with emotion: "On weekdays, I help Zhongshu Province to deal with some government affairs, listen to the teacher's lectures, and only occasionally go out and walk around, it is true that few people come to the East Palace to walk around, you don't have to be too restrained in the East Palace, just like we used to eat together in the Chongwen Palace." ”

"That's what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."

"Teachers often say that loneliness doesn't know how to behave in the world, and they don't know how to recognize people."

Listening to him, Zhang Yang leaned closer to the stove and put his hand on the side of the stove to warm his hands.

Li Chengqian took out another book, "The words that the teacher said at the beginning are all recorded in this scroll. ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's speech, you can forget it in your ears, but the other party still has to look at the scroll when he hands it over.

Opening the scroll handed by Li Chengqian, Zhang Yang looked at the records on it, all of which were words of admonition, "His Royal Highness the Prince, can I take this book home?" I'll get it back tomorrow. ”

Maybe you can let your daughter-in-law see it, huh! Give your daughter-in-law some positive influences, and don't think about killing small animals all day long.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

chatted with Li Chengqian for a while, talking about the days he got along with Li Gang, and Li Chengqian really respected his teacher.

When leaving the East Palace, Zhang Yang glanced at Zhang Da'an, who was standing outside the hall, "Da'an, go to the village to see the teacher." ”

Zhang Daan looked at Li Chengqian's face.

Seeing Li Chengqian nodding, Zhang Daan bowed and said goodbye.

Of the three sons of the teacher's family, Zhang Da'an was the youngest, and he looked so honest when he first met him. For now, it's still like that.

Walking out of the East Palace, Zhang Yang said to him: "The teacher has been living in the village to recuperate these days, Brother Elephant and Dasu are busy dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, you usually go to see the teacher." ”

Zhang Daan said again: "I'm going to visit my father." ”

With that, he quickened his pace and left.

After talking to Wei Zheng and seeing Li Chengqian again, Zhang Yang felt unusually tired, walked into the house and sat on the eaves under the rain, listening to the sound of rain constantly falling on the eaves.

Li Yue poured a bowl of hot tea, she didn't make a sound, and quietly rubbed her husband's temples.

Putting the scroll in his hand aside, Zhang Yang closed his eyes and said, "This was brought out from the East Palace, and it was Li Gang's admonition to the prince at the beginning. ”

Li Yue said softly: "Mr. Li Gang asked him on his deathbed, and I knew that my husband would agree." ”

Thinking about the strength of his daughter-in-law's rubbing of her temples, Zhang Yang smiled: "You said that our family's life is very good like this, what do those things that are bigger than the sky have to do with us?" ”

Li Yue whispered: "The husband is not a person who does big things, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are the big people who have the world in mind." ”

"It's still my daughter-in-law who understands me."

Li Yue smiled happily.

Despite the ups and downs outside, the home was just as cozy.

Life also has troubles, and I haven't wanted to settle the problem of shower pipes.

Li Yue opened the scroll and watched quietly on the side obediently.

Now Li Yue is also sixteen years old, her eyebrows and eyes have stretched a lot more than before, she has eliminated the previous baby fat, and her eyebrows and eyes have also grown, which is also a good age to study hard.

People at this age also have the strongest learning ability and comprehension ability, and they will learn everything quickly.

It is also the best age in life, the most worthy age to acquire knowledge for yourself, Zhang Yang smiled when he thought of his age, it was also the age when his studies were the heaviest, the time when he worked hardest, the peak of intelligence, and it was so easy to miss this age and then pick it up again.

There are hundreds of words of admonition written in the scroll, just looking at them makes people feel a pain in their brains, and I don't know how Mr. Li Gang came up with these obscure words.

Li Yue finished reading this book, "Mr. Li Gang's earnest teachings are well-intentioned. ”

"In fact, from this book, you can also understand the old gentleman's intentions, he has high hopes for the prince, and he also said that there are many bad things in this world, not to mention the control of the family gate lord over the scholars, and the state capitals also have the heart to cling to the powerful."

"Are the old people concerned about the affairs of the family and the country, in the eyes of these old people, they will feel that the world is going to be in chaos at any time."

Li Yue said in a low voice: "If you miss the time, you will have regrets, maybe the old gentleman feels that he has too many regrets, and he doesn't want the younger generations to have regrets." ”

Zhang Yang looked at her in surprise, sometimes her daughter-in-law's words always felt like a waking dreamer.

Li Gang has lived for most of his life, does he really have no regrets?

There are regrets, which are also related to his circumstances.

From the former Sui to the present, Li Gang's situation is not very good, he has been targeted by villains, he has also been framed by his colleagues, he has also suffered the losses of those traitors who have offered slander, Yang Su, Yang Jian, Liu Fang, Yu Wenyun and others are not good people.

Li Gang started his career in the darkest and turbulent period of the world.

It was also the darkest era, until later it led to the end of the great cause, when various anti-kings rose up.

Li Gang has experienced the entire turbulent era, and he is so harsh on Li Chengqian.

If he had lived in a peaceful and prosperous world, his situation would not have been like this.

Put yourself in Li Gang's shoes and think about it, he is an upright person, he has been fighting against those traitors for half his life, and he has never given in.

Li Chengqian is humble and studious, and he also respects teachers and teaching, and is knowledgeable and reasonable.

"I still can't figure out what Mr. Li Gang likes about me, I also thought that it was because the prince read some self-encouragement words in our family and attracted the attention of the old man, and these alone can make Mr. Li Gang write these dying words?"

Listening to her husband's words, Li Yue got up and tidied up her husband's bun, "My husband's hair is always very dense and thick, and if you don't tidy it up well, it will be a mess for a day." ”

Putting the weight of his body on the chair, Zhang Yang looked up at Li Yue.

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "Two days ago, I saw off Mr. Li Gang, and I heard the relatives who saw him off say that the old man likes the Red Mansion very much. ”

Zhang Yang nodded slowly.

The courtyard was quiet, only Li Yue's words, and the little bear lay on a pile of wood and yawned lazily.

Li Yue continued: "When I heard my husband tell the story of the Red Mansion, I wrote down one of the stories every day, and then read it again, until my husband finished telling this story and I wrote down this story, I felt that this story was full of sadness, and I had to sigh. ”

"Husband, have you ever thought that if they rebel against Ma Daopo, Xia Jingui, and Aunt Zhao, is the story different, when I read the Red Mansion, I think they can resist and fight against power."

Zhang Yang sat up abruptly and turned to look at his daughter-in-law.

Li Yue looked at her husband's reaction with a puzzled expression.

"I see!" Zhang Yang stood up and pinched her face, her skin was very smooth.

Li Yue stretched out his hand to resist, "Husband, why are you pinching your face again!" ”

Zhang Yang laughed loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is humble and studious, respects teachers and understands etiquette, the only thing missing is to know right from wrong, and fight, the prince is too obedient, he is obedient to His Majesty, obedient to the teacher, and even obedient to himself, he has always been obedient to others, but he has never fought for himself." ”

Li Yue also stroked his face and pursed his lips aggrievedly.

This year's rainy season is very long, the rain is dripping non-stop, the rain is not big or small, and the whole Chang'an City is misty.

Zheng Gong said that he couldn't stop for a while, and it seemed that he wouldn't be able to stop for half a month.

Even this little rain can't stop Li Yue from getting up early to practice knives.

This time she spared with Aunt Yang.

The two of them took a wooden knife and made a move, sitting at the door of their house, Zhang Yang held a bowl of noodles, ate noodles with relish and watched his daughter-in-law practice.

Li Yue slashed the air, Aunt Yang followed the force of the chopping and borrowed the force, and the handle of the knife was held back and pressed the knife edge, making Li Yue lose balance and turn around and snatch the knife in Li Yue's hand.

Li Yue was a little stunned, she hadn't even figured out how she lost the knife in her hand.

Without waiting for questions, Aunt Yang explained: "This is inspired by the Tai Chi of the horse, and this way of borrowing strength can also be used in knife techniques. ”

Li Yue picked up his knife again and returned disappointed.

It's about to be the time to open the Suzaku Gate and go to the middle of the court.

Li Yue also picked up his bowl of noodles and ate it, "This sauce is very good for mixing noodles." ”

After eating the noodles in the bowl in a few bites, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "This noodle has a name called fried sauce noodles. ”

Li Yue peeled the garlic on the table, "It's still delicious." ”

The daughter-in-law's taste is really getting heavier and heavier, a pretty girl, a mouthful of garlic and a mouthful of noodles are delicious, this picture inexplicably makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth after eating." Zhang Yang admonished.

"I know, the taste in my mouth is too strong after eating." Li Yue was carrying slender chopsticks, chewing in his mouth and speaking slurredly.
