bicker
Li Zhi's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both speechless for a while after hearing it.
Teachers have to deal with all kinds of children in their teaching, how can you easily change your habits just because you are usually obedient at home?
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun glanced at each other, and then said to Li Zhi: "If the pheasant slave really can't stand the attitude of the masters, why don't you study with other brothers in two years?" ”
As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he quickly twisted it in Li Shimin's arms, and resolutely said that he was going to study now.
There is absolutely no compromise on this, not to mention that he needs to perform now, so the sooner he learns, the better.
It's just that he thinks of letting him go to school with those little kids in the future, and he has a bit of a big head, mainly because age itself is not on the same level.
Li Zhi's persistence made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun worried, and they really didn't know where to find a teacher who made Li Zhi look less afraid.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when Li Shimin and the two felt embarrassed, Zhang Ananda, the personal eunuch who had been following Li Shimin's side, reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Xue Jieyu in Da'an Palace is from a famous family, maybe..."
Li Shimin didn't react for a while when he heard Zhang Ananda's words, but the eldest grandson queen who was standing aside immediately said happily: "That's right! If Mr. Zhang didn't talk about this, I almost forgot about it. ”
After listening to Empress Eldest Sun's words, Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Guanyin, tell me what is going on?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly explained to Li Shimin.
This Xue Jieyu is in the palace of Taizu Li Yuan, strictly speaking, she is Li Zhi's grandmother, born in a famous family at the end of the Sui Dynasty, her father is Xue Daoheng, a famous genius in the Sui Dynasty, and she is also a well-informed talented woman.
Xue Jieyu is not only Li Zhi's elder but also a woman, so she must be able to teach Li Zhi.
Li Shimin listened to Empress Eldest Sun's analysis and felt that he could give it a try, so he asked Li Zhi: "Pheasant slave, are you willing to let Grandmother Xue teach you to read?" ”
At this time, how did Li Zhi know that this Xue Jieyu was his teacher in history, but when he heard that it was his grandmother, he would not be too bad to himself, so he immediately nodded and said, "Erchen is willing." ”
It may really be that there is such a fate between Li Zhi and Xue Jieyu, and Li Zhi has had a strong sense of closeness to Xue Jieyu since the first meeting between the two.
So from this day on, Li Zhi would go to Da'an Palace to study every morning, and would not return to Taiji Palace until lunch.
What made Li Zhi most happy was that after a few days of studying, he found that he had perfectly inherited the physique of the previous life.
The most important thing is that in this life, his super ability is reflected in the liberal arts, and he used to learn even simplified Chinese characters so-so, but now he can learn traditional Chinese characters with ease.
This discovery made him more active in learning, and at the same time, he actively put a lot of effort into practicing calligraphy.
Li Shimin naturally felt extremely pleased to see all this, and at the same time, he took the rare initiative to guide Li Zhi's calligraphy.
Li Shimin's operation can be regarded as an unexpected joy for Li Zhi.
First, Li Shimin's calligraphy itself is very good, and with his guidance on the side, Li Zhi's calligraphy can improve rapidly.
Second, this makes Li Zhi have the opportunity to contact Li Shimin almost every day, so that he can perform more in front of Li Shimin.
However, Li Zhi, who only wanted to perform well, never thought about how fierce and cruel the competition between the children of the royal family would be at this time.
And the first thing that his recent favor has affected is the fourth brother who is the same mother as him - Li Tai, the king of Yue.
Although Li Tai is only eleven years old now, he has already received the positions of Governor of Yangzhou and Yuezhou, and he also holds the military of the other sixteen states.
His power is the greatest of all the princes except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, and from this you can see how favored he is in front of Li Shimin.
Li Zhi's outstanding performance soon made Li Tai, who had always been favored before, feel Li Shimin's snub to him.
After all, as the head of a country in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin did not give his children a lot of time in addition to dealing with heavy state affairs every day.
In the afternoon of this day, Li Zhi was practicing calligraphy in the company of Empress Changsun, and a round figure came to the Lizheng Hall in a hurry.
Without waiting for the little eunuch at the door to report, a little fat man had already appeared in front of Empress Changsun and Li Zhi.
This little fat man is none other than Li Tai.
Although Li Zhi had seen him several times before, at the first sight of Li Tai, Li Zhi still couldn't help but complain in his heart: This kid is really too fat.
To use a classic sentence to describe it: there is a thick cylinder, but there is no cylinder high, except for the buttocks, all the waist.
After entering the door, Li Tai first saluted the eldest grandson queen in a proper manner, and then came to Li Zhi in a fake manner.
As soon as Li Zhi saw this posture, he knew that this kid was now waiting for him to stand up and salute him first.
At this moment, although Li Zhi felt tired from his heart, he couldn't help it, in order not to lose the etiquette, he could only stand up and salute Li Tai: "I've seen the fourth brother." ”
Li Tai's fat face barely squeezed out a smile, and he replied perfunctorily, and then said: "I heard that the ninth brother has begun to read and write recently, so I came here to take a look for my brother." ”
Li Zhi thought to himself: My literacy has nothing to do with you? With you have nothing to do to run over to care?
replied: "Thank you for your concern, the younger brother is not very stupid and literate." ”
Although Li Zhi's words are a little modest, they are reasonable for his age.
However, after listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Tai immediately said in an educational tone: "Since you don't know much, you must work hard, and you can't live up to the expectations of your father and queen mother." ”
Li Tai's words made Li Zhi disgusted, and he said: What do you mean? Isn't it hard for me to be able to take the initiative to study at such a young age?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak: "The younger brother must remember the teachings of the fourth brother, strive to surpass the fourth brother as soon as possible, and not disappoint the father and queen mother." ”
Li Tai was stunned by Li Zhi's reply, and then he couldn't help but sneer: "The ambition of the ninth brother is not small, but if you want to surpass the fourth brother in learning, I am afraid you have no chance." ”
Although Li Tai's words are arrogant, they are indeed in line with his current strength.
Because the reason why Li Tai won Li Shimin's favor was because his writing was the best of all the brothers.
At this point, Li Zhi really has no confidence to surpass him.
But even so, it is impossible to make Li Zhi admit it in person.
So he said to Li Tai very firmly: "Then please wait and see from the fourth brother, and if the younger brother really succeeds, please don't blame the fourth brother." ”
