People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 558 Reasoning is basically useless

Li Lizhi said in a low voice, "It's nothing but the weather is too hot."

The little boy nodded ignorantly.

When the two of them left, Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

Li Zhi watched Li Lizhi and Xiao Sizi leave the study room, walked up in small steps and said, "I heard that the teacher had a quarrel with the emperor today?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Well, that's right."

Li Zhi looked at Li Zheng curiously, "I also heard that when the maids and eunuchs talked about it. It is said that the father was very angry and asked you to leave."

Li Zheng nodded while holding the teacup.

Seeing Li Zheng's expression, Li Zhi said again: "The eunuchs in the palace say that it's really evil for the teacher to live up to now, and if the teacher contradicts the father, the father will take the initiative to come. Looking for you."

Li Zhengchang sighed, "Yeah, after I contradict you, your father still comes to see me, doesn't it seem that your father is a corporal?"

Li Zhi nodded, "Teacher, what you said seems to be true."

Li Zheng said to Li Zhi: "Many things your father does have a purpose. Do you think he came to me to be a corporal? In fact, he came to me because he asked me to do things for him."

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "But those who don't know why will think that the emperor invited you to go to court, and that's why he treats you like this."

"So everything your father does has a purpose."

Li Zhi asked curiously again: "So what did my father say to you?"

Li Zheng took a sip of tea and said melancholy: "I want to reason with your father, but your father talks about ideals with me."

Li Zhi looked at Li Zheng suspiciously.

Li Zheng went on to say: "It is a very laborious thing to reason with people, especially to reason with people like your father, it is even more thankless."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Zheng said to Li Zhi again: "Sometimes it's easy to lose face if you talk too much about the truth. It's better to just be unreasonable than to do this."

Li Zhi said: "Isn't it even more unreasonable to be unreasonable?"

"His Royal Highness, in fact, in many cases, it is more useful for us to talk about reason than to talk about interests. You see, what was it like when the Turks, Tubo, and Xue Yantuo came to worship in the past?"

Sitting on a small bench, Li Zhi ate tomatoes and asked, "I remember Ashina from Xue Yantuo in Mobei also asked you to buy food."

Li Zheng put all his weight on the chair, "Xue Yantuo and Turkic are really going to try their best to convince people with reasoning? They are so anxious, and the way of convincing people with reasoning is often It doesn't work."

"Then what works best?"

"Of course it's interests. Are you trying to reason with them and ask them to cease fighting? This is obviously unrealistic. Most people are unreasonable. Reasoning is based on interests and strength. Do you really think that a group of people are fighting against each other? Talking about great truths in the court? Can the world be prosperous forever, and the peace of singing and dancing? That is all bullshit."

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Outside the house, Li Lizhi was going to send some dried fruit to Li Zheng, when he heard Zhinu and Li were talking.

Sometimes Li Zheng's words sound very out of tune, but they make sense when you think about it carefully.

Seeing Li Lizhi standing outside the door, Xu Hui came over and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't I send these dried fruits to my son-in-law."

Li Lizhi shook her head, not wanting to disturb Li Zheng and Li Zhi now.

After listening to Li Zheng's speech, Li Zhi said: "So what those old masters said about treating people with courtesy and acting according to reason are all false?"

"It's not necessarily fake." Li Zheng continued to say to Li Zhi: "Of course we treat people with courtesy and act according to reason. It depends on what kind of person they are. If they are polite, they should be reasonable. When you are polite, be a little more polite, and when you should not be polite, don’t reason with them.”

Li Zhi nodded.

"As long as you stand on the right side, don't give in too much, but don't talk too much when the other side is pressing you every step of the way. Nonsense is often useless when you can do it."

Li Zhi nodded, "The student understands."

After being instructed, Li Zhi's expression became much brighter.

As if enlightened, there was a little more pride in his eyes.

Chatting with this kid Li Zhi until midnight, this kid simply slept here.

In fact, the family had already prepared a room for Li Zhiyou.

Looking at Li Zhi who fell asleep holding a book.

Li Zheng looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

Walking into the yard, feeling the cold wind on a summer night, my eyelids started to fight.

Unknowingly fell asleep.

When he woke up early the next morning, Li Zheng just opened his eyes when he saw a big familiar face in front of him.

Blinking hard, the face in front of him became much clearer after adjusting the focus.

Li Shimin was looking at himself suspiciously.

Standing up lazily, Li Zheng took the water glass and toothbrush handed over by Xu Hui, "Your Majesty, why are you here so early?"

Seeing Li Zheng washing up sleepily, Li Shimin said, "Why are you sleeping on the chair?"

While sprinkling some coarse salt on the toothbrush, Li Zheng yawned and said, "I slept well, but I was stung by mosquitoes a few times."

After speaking, Li Zheng began to brush his teeth.

Li Shimin was admiring this place with dismay. After Li Lizhi got married, it was the first time that Li Lizhi took a good look at this new house.

After walking around the yard, Li Shimin said, "Li Zheng, the things you have here are quite novel."

Li Zheng nodded while brushing his teeth.

Seeing Li Zheng brushing his teeth, Li Shimin asked curiously, "What did you put in your mouth?"

Li Zheng spit out mouthwash and said, "I didn't stuff anything into my mouth. This thing is called a toothbrush, and it's for brushing your teeth."

"toothbrush?"

"I made it myself out of boar bristle, which is perfect for brushing my teeth."

Li Zheng washed the toothbrush again and put it back into the cup.

Li Shimin picked up the toothbrush and stuffed it into his mouth, rubbing his yellowish teeth.

"..."

After trying it twice, Li Shimin said, "It feels weird, and it doesn't work very well."

Seeing Li Shimin take the toothbrush out of his own mouth again, Li Zheng said numbly, "Give it to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin asked curiously, "Doesn't your mouth hurt when you use this thing?"

"No, it's very useful for cleaning teeth."

Li Shimin put down his toothbrush and said, "What are you particular about?"

Li Zheng emphasized: "This is called hygiene."

Looking at the attire of this house, he walked into the house and looked around.

He is the emperor and Li Lizhi's father, and his own daughter lives here. You are the father-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with knowing where your daughter lives.

Li Shimin pointed to the window and said, "Why did you hang such a piece of cloth on the window?"

Li Zheng explained with a smile: "This is called a curtain, and it is very useful."

Li Shimin tried and nodded and said: "When you don't want the sun, you can block the sun, and when you want the sun, you can pull it away?"
