Filial piety is important
Li Zhi complained to Li Lizhi that these were not untargeted.
This kid is very bad, he knows that Li Lizhi is also deeply liked by Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun, so he took the initiative to mention these things to her.
Li Zhi also knew that Li Lizhi couldn't hide her thoughts, and sooner or later she would go to tell Empress Changsun and even Li Shimin these words, which would definitely make Li Shimin and the two unhappy when the time came.
The simple Li Lizhi didn't know at this time that she had unknowingly become a tool used by Li Zhi to deal with his two elder brothers.
At this time, she was cautiously holding the freshly boiled decoction, and under the guidance of Li Zhi, she walked towards the Lizheng Palace.
The pharmacist nervously followed behind the two of them, for fear that the two of them would knock over the medicine and bring a killing disaster to themselves.
When the figures of the two appeared at the door of the Lizheng Palace, in addition to attracting the exclamations of a crowd, it also made Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were still showing off their achievements, shut up directly.
Li Zhi escorted Li Lizhi directly to the bed of the eldest grandson queen and said, "The queen mother, come and drink the medicine, my sister and I personally boiled it for you." ”
Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi with some difficulty, came to the bed with some difficulty, and hurriedly reached out to take it.
At the same time, he said to Li Lizhi with some distress: "The tea tray is so heavy, why don't you let the pharmacist do it for you?" ”
Li Lizhi gently wiped the thin sweat on her forehead with her cuffs, and replied: "Erchen can hold it himself, so he wants to serve it to the queen mother himself." ”
The eldest grandson queen who was leaning on the head of the bed stretched out her hand and took Li Lizhen into her arms, and said affectionately: "It's not in vain that the queen mother hurts you, and now you can share the worries of the queen mother." ”
Li Lizhi leaned on the arms of the eldest grandson queen and said, "The pheasant slave also decocted medicine for the queen mother." ”
After listening to Li Lizhen's words, Empress Changsun turned her head to look at Li Zhi and found that there was a touch of charcoal black hanging on the tip of his nose.
So she hurriedly took out her handkerchief and said to Li Zhi: "Pheasant slave hurry up, your little nose is dirty." ”
The carbon black on Li Zhi's nose was completely deliberately put on by himself, otherwise how could he show that he had just worked?
At this time, after listening to Empress Changsun's words, he immediately obediently came to the bed and asked Empress Changsun to help her clean up.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were originally sitting on the chairs, had also stood up at this time, but their expressions were somewhat unnatural.
Thinking about it, they are both older than Li Zhi and the others.
Now that their mother is sick, they only care about showing off in front of their own son, but they don't think of doing something for their mother at all.
At present, the younger siblings are decocting medicine and serving medicine, how can they feel comfortable?
Li Shimin was also stirring the medicine in the bowl at the moment while looking at Li Lizhi and Li Zhi dotingly, and the performance of the two today made him extremely satisfied.
His own mother died young, and when he grew up, he wanted to be filial to his father, but he caught up with years of war and power struggles.
Now being able to see this scene of mother's kindness and filial piety with his own eyes can be regarded as a great comfort for him.
He didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Li Chengqian and Li Tai's approach, but when he compared it with Li Zhi at this time, he naturally felt a trace of dislike.
But at the moment, he didn't say anything, after all, even he had some neglect.
Empress Changsun felt better after drinking the medicine, and Li Shimin also left the children to eat together.
Since Li Chengqian and Li Tai had just taken the initiative to report to themselves on their recent studies, Li Shimin took the test at the dinner table to teach Li Lizhen and Li Zhi.
The biggest difference between Li Shimin and those emperors before him was that he attached great importance to the equality of education, and he always believed that women should not be inferior to men in learning knowledge.
Therefore, he always treated his children's education equally, and even indirectly caused many women to become officials in the Tang Dynasty later.
Li Lizhen has studied for many years and has a deep understanding of all kinds of classics and historical classics, so she can answer the questions raised by her father fluently.
This made Li Shimin feel very happy, and he couldn't help but say to Empress Changsun: "Changle's knowledge is not inferior to that of boys of the same age, it seems that my idea is right." ”
The eldest grandson emperor smiled and quipped: "Yes, yes, yes... Erlang is wise, thanks to my Erlang, the women of the world have the opportunity to study. ”
After listening to the words of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin laughed a few times, and then turned to Li Zhi and asked: "Today you mentioned the Book of Filial Piety, so the Emperor will test you with the Book of Filial Piety?" ”
Li Zhi replied: "Please ask my father to ask the question." ”
Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked: "Those who love their relatives dare not be evil to others, and those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to others." What is the meaning of this sentence? ”
Li Zhi replied without pause: "Those who love their own parents will not dislike other people's parents, and those who can respect their own parents will not neglect other people's parents." ”
The Book of Filial Piety is less than 2,000 words and is very easy to understand, so Li Zhi memorized it very well.
Li Shimin asked two more questions in a row, and Li Zhi answered them very happily.
Li Zhi's performance made Li Shimin very happy, and he took the opportunity to say to Li Chengqian and Li Tai: "The pheasant slave already has a deep understanding of filial piety at such a young age, and your two brothers should also learn more from him." ”
Li Shimin's words seem to be said casually, but in fact, he is reminding the two of them that their performance today is not very satisfactory.
You must know that in this era, filial piety is very important, and the enlightenment reading of every reader is the Book of Filial Piety, if a person's filial piety is lacking, then he will not be respected no matter how much he has achieved in other aspects.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai heard the intention, so they hurriedly replied in a proper manner: "Erchen remember the teachings of his father. ”
Li Chengqian knew that his performance today was not good, so after being woken up by Li Shimin, he felt more guilty in his heart.
Li Tai is different, although he also knows that today's performance is not satisfactory, but he thinks that all this is caused by his eldest brother Li Chengqian.
If he hadn't shown off his achievements in front of his father first, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to perform.
At the same time, Li Tai also quietly glanced at Li Zhi.
In his opinion, this kid Li Zhi is simply his nemesis.
Whenever the two appeared in front of their parents at the same time, he either easily stole the limelight or beat himself.
The corners of Li Tai's mouth couldn't help but twitch at the thought of being beaten, mainly because the beating a few days ago was really unjust.
What frustrated him the most was that the furniture designed by Li Zhi has now become very popular in the palace, and even some ministers' homes have begun to ask people to imitate them.
According to his new butler, "The furniture is very popular now, and if you set up a workshop to make it, you will definitely be able to make a good income." ”
Li Tai was already tempted, and in his mind that the furniture styles that the ministers could see must be limited, and it was estimated that they would not be able to make too many novel things.
If you do it yourself, you will be able to attract a large number of customers quickly with your knowledge in the palace.
