Emperor Qing sat on it, and glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing on the side and bowing slightly, and inexplicably felt that his son had not seen him for a few days, and there seemed to be an indescribable change.

Of course, the moment he learned that Li Chengqian was Li Gaoming, although he was shocked, he was also greatly relieved.

Because this means that in the East Palace, including Ye Liuyun and Zhao Yun, who has sprung up, there are only three great grandmasters.

Although this was still an extremely terrifying force, at this moment, he was at least a little more sure that he could compete with it.

Lowering his eyes slightly, he swept his gaze over His Highness, and said slowly, "Calm down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted, and after a series of routine speeches, the palace banquet officially began.

In the sound of music, everyone quietly ate delicious food and wine.

At this time, Emperor Qing spoke up, "Is the prince feeling better?"

Li Chengqian paused slightly, these days, he is not in the East Palace, Izumo is to shirk on the grounds of illness, Emperor Qing has this question, it is normal.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said calmly, "It's okay to worry about Your Majesty."

"Oh!" Emperor Qing replied lightly and said, "It's okay, as the prince of Qingguo, you are related to the continuation of a country, you need to remember to take care of your body."

As he spoke, he suddenly called out a sentence: "Cloud Lan!"

Yun Zhilan, the head of the Dongyi Mission, got up from his seat, bowed and saluted, waiting for Emperor Qing to speak.

Emperor Qing smiled and said, "Those two apprentices of yours were killed by the crown prince."

Yun Zhilan's face paused slightly, and he said calmly: "I know that they were used by others to participate in the assassination of Niulan Street, and they were corrected by the prince on the spot, and they died well."

Emperor Qing's smile gradually faded, and he said, "It is said that you Yun Zhilan is a disciple of the Four Gu Sword, and he is arrogant, but now it seems that it is a bit exaggerated."

Yun Zhilan calmed down the blood qi that was still boiling in his body, and said lightly, "In front of the Great Grandmaster, where did my arrogance come from a mere Nine Ranks? However, Qingguo has a prince in the realm of a great grandmaster, and I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, Qingguo's national fortune is prosperous, and it will definitely last in the future."

Hearing this, everyone present had already known about this matter and was quite calm, but in the ears of many people, it was no less than a thunderclap, which instantly blew them up on the outside and on the inside.

The crown prince is a great grandmaster?

This news is too shocking.

It was only soon that everyone woke up from the shock of this news, and their expressions couldn't help but become a little strange.

A prince of the realm of a great grandmaster, can Emperor Qing really sit on the dragon chair with peace of mind?

Emperor Qing's face was slightly cold, but then he turned calm again.

"Governing a country depends on prestige and talent, force can only be intimidating, not respectful, can a country last, maybe down-to-earth, forge ahead, prince, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian vaguely realized something, he smiled disappreciatively, and said, "Your Majesty said yes."

Emperor Qing took a deep look at Li Chengqian, and then said loudly: "Now the people in the palace are all talents from all countries, and Mr. Zhuang Mohan, the literary master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is also a rare appearance, why don't you take this opportunity to talk about talent and virtue?"

As soon as he spoke, naturally few people would refute it, and the voices of approval and praise were endless.

However, on such an occasion, there are not many people who are really qualified to speak up.

Especially with Zhuang Mohan, he is not only the literary champion of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but also the spiritual leader of almost all the world's scholars, and a real celebrity and master.

If it weren't for the recent emergence of a Luo Guanzhong in Nanqing, I would have counted the Qingguo literary circle, and I am afraid that I would not be able to find a figure of the same weight as it.

In front of such a character, opening your mouth casually is very likely to cause jokes and lose face.

For a while, the prayer hall fell silent suddenly.

Emperor Qing's face was calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, and after a while, he said, "It seems that everyone is a little restrained

When Bangyi is forever, why don't you let Mr. Zhuang set a theme for today's argument and say a few words?"

Zhuang Mohan, who had been sitting in silence in the center of the Northern Qi Mission, stood up and said softly: "Since Your Majesty has spoken, then the old man will throw bricks and lead the jade to talk about it."

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt that what Zhuang Mohan was going to say was very likely to be related to him.

He knew very well that the reason why a literary titan like Zhuang Mohan appeared in the ranks of the Northern Qi mission must be related to Sean.

Since Emperor Qing agreed to this matter, presumably Zhuang Mohan must also pay the price for this.

Emperor Qing deliberately said the word fame before, obviously, he wanted to use Zhuang Mohan's literary name to target him.

As Emperor Qing said, force can conquer, but it cannot govern the country.

The situation must be extremely complicated, and the most important thing is that in the city of Nanjing, millions of Qi people are the real headache.

He couldn't have killed them all.

And once his fame is trampled underfoot, if he wants to govern the city of Nanjing, the possibility of being able to convince the public will be greatly reduced.

Not only that, a prince who has lost his reputation, even if he has amazing force, will greatly decline his political influence, and even in the future, when many governance methods are needed, it will cause twice the result with half the effort.

Obviously, Emperor Qing chose what he was good at and began to suppress him when his force was temporarily inferior.

Just thinking about it, Zhuang Mohan had already slowly spoken: "All people are born with desires, there are sage words, people's original nature is evil, there are also sage words, people's original nature is good, regardless of good or evil, as a scholar, self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, self-cultivation must be listed in the first place.

To cultivate one's self, one must control one's own desires and destroy one's desires by following the principles of the operation of all things in heaven and earth.

Therefore, today, on the theme of preserving the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires, it is enough to share your own opinions."

He coughed lowly, looked at Li Chengqian, and said, "The old man who once saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qingguo said, the literary talent is amazing, it is admirable, it is rare to come to Qingguo once today, I am afraid that it is the only time in my lifetime, I wonder if I have the opportunity to listen to His Highness's high theory?"

What Zhuang Mohan said is the most popular set of theories among the current scholars, the atmosphere of Nanqing is quite open, but in Northern Qi, it is a strict rule, and people who are overwhelmed by rules and regulations are breathless, but this is also an extremely effective and practical method of governance.

It seems to be an ordinary issue, but in fact it is in line with a certain concept of governance.

Li Chengqian knows very well that the skills of scholars in debate, especially those like Zhuang Mohan, who have read books to the bones, can quote scriptures and classics with ease, no matter what he says, there must be traps waiting for him.

It is impossible to debate, and with his personality, it is best to directly beat Zhuang Mohan to death.

However, today's occasion is obviously not suitable for hands-on.

But he is not helpless, he may not be able to debate, but the person next to him is also the ancestor of a scholar, at least Zhuang Mohan is difficult to compare.

Therefore, he ignored Zhuang Mohan, but pointed to Wang Shouren beside him, and introduced to everyone: "This is my teacher, Wang Shouren, called Yangming, since Mr. Zhuang wants to hear Gao Zhi, then let my teacher talk to you."

Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace, including Emperor Qing and the eldest princess, instantly turned their eyes to Wang Shouren's body.

When did the prince have such a teacher?
