Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 19 The Teacher of the Sage Confucius and Mencius

At this time.

Wang Shian also came.

At the end of the Civil and Military Hall, King Tang ordered Wang Shi'an to come to the Imperial Study Room after the assessment.

The people who came to the imperial study were not only Wang Shi'an, but also Changsun Wuji and Yange Lao, a total of three people.

Because these three people are the three most valued people in today's world, the top ten military generals can guard Tang, but the three civil servants can govern Anbang!
If you want to choose a new king in the future, your own successor, even the king of Tang must listen to the opinions of these three people.

In the imperial study.

All three of them waited quietly.

"Three lovers, give it a try in the Civil and Military Hall, how about my seven sons?"

This is a straightforward question from the King of Tang, making the three most important ministers in front of him comment on the seven princes.

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't speak for a while.

Because this is not an ordinary question, about the crown prince, about seizing the heir, about the supreme position.

The three of them did not dare to comment lightly. A careless mistake might cause the dissatisfaction of the emperor in front of him, and even spread it to the ears of other princes, causing the princes to hold grudges.

"What, three lovers, what? The older you get, the more afraid you are?" Tang Wang sneered.

"Hehe..." Changsun Wuji chuckled lightly, the most calm, because the lineage of Changsun has a pivotal position in Tang.

The current empress is from the lineage of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wuji is even more powerful, and the eldest grandson even has a general.

It's a pity that Empress Changsun has no children under her knees, otherwise, the position of crown prince can be said to be a certainty.

It is precisely because of this that Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun are the most fair and convincing.

"Your Majesty, among the seven princes, only the eldest prince Li Jiancheng, the second prince Li Jiantai, the third prince Li Jianzhi, and the fourth prince Li Jianjun are the most outstanding. The remaining three are either too young, or if Li Jiangong has no intention of fighting for power, there is the sixth prince." Li Jianbai is not suitable for the position of emperor at all."

The eldest grandson Wuji had no scruples, and directly analyzed: "If you follow the order of seniority, the first prince is the most suitable and the most stable. However, the second prince Li Jiantai has reformed many times in recent years, and his governance is very proper. It is a pity that he is too aggressive. Three The prince is the most suitable, but unfortunately his body is too weak, let alone able to cultivate. And the fourth prince, Li Jianjun, has military merits and manages the army well. If there are troubled times, he must be a horse emperor!"

Elder Yan Ge and Wang Shi'an, when they heard Changsun Wuji's words, sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Because, Changsun Wuji, this is outspoken, directly expressing his views on the princes.

"Old Yan Ge, Wang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing today's question, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Wang immediately looked at each other, and Wang Shi'an took a step forward.

After all, Yan Ge's seniority is there, and Wang Shi'an knows his identity.

"I think the Sixth Prince is not bad. Trying it in the Wenwu Palace is refreshing. He is only less than fifteen years old now. If you teach him well, he must be a pillar of talent."

Wang Shi'an obviously avoided answering this.

Say directly, "The sixth prince is not bad", but everyone knows that the sixth prince is no longer within the scope of consideration.

But Wang Shi'an deliberately did this. Of course, Li Jianbai left a deep impression in Wang Shi'an's heart after Wenwu Hall.

"Hehe, Wang Aiqing reminded you well, this rebellious son must be disciplined well, otherwise, he will definitely grow crooked!" Tang Wang sneered angrily.

"That's not the case, but Your Majesty should do something. After all, I can see that the Sixth Prince's disposition is free and easy. Although he is in the palace, he does whatever he wants. However, there are many rules in the palace and there are constraints. I am afraid that the Sixth Prince's disposition has changed. .”

"Wang Shi'an, since you have such views on the sixth son, why don't I hand over the useless sixth son to you to discipline." The emperor of Tang Dynasty intends to throw the sixth prince Li Jianbai to Wang Shi'an at this moment.

"Huh?" Wang Shi'an pondered a few thoughts in his heart for a moment, analyzing the meaning of the Tang king in front of him?
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter that the sixth prince is talented, thoughtful, and far surpasses his peers. He doesn't need to be disciplined at all, and the study of Confucius and Mencius doesn't work for the sixth prince at all." After a few thoughts flashed in Wang Shi'an's mind .

In the next second, he immediately refused.

"Hehe, Wang Aiqing, why refuse it so directly, I'll let someone find that traitor right now, three adults, teach me a good lesson!"

Tang Wang suddenly had an idea in his heart, that is to let these three old antiques talk and talk about the six sons.

Not for a while.

Li Jianbai was carried by Wang Meng and thrown into the imperial study.

Li Jianbai, who was sitting on the ground, was a little dazed. This is the Imperial Study Room, and ordinary people cannot enter it.

It is the place where the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK and China discuss national affairs and urgent military situations.

"Join Father, I have met all the adults." Li Jianbai rubbed his butt, cursed Wang Meng inwardly, stood up and saluted.

"Hmph." King Tang snorted coldly, and glared at Li Jianbai. He was angry and angry with this rebellious son now!
"I don't know why my father called me here?" Li Jianbai looked helpless.

Just now I was tied to the Civil and Military Hall, and now I was thrown into the Imperial Study, my life is miserable.

"Above the Great Hall of Civil and Military Affairs, you insulted Confucius and Mencius with your bullshit, did you do it on purpose?" Tang Wang was not stupid, he saw this.

And Li Jianbai curled his lips, taking it for granted: "Father, my son's ambition is not to be an emperor, so don't embarrass me? What's more, the study of Confucius and Mencius is pedantic and old-fashioned, so don't worry about it!"

"Embarrassed?" Tang Wang was really angry this time.

The position of the Great Tang Monarch was actually said to be "difficult". How many people squeezed their heads, and the position they all dreamed of was so unbearable in Li Jianbai's mouth? !

This statement came out.

Not only is the current king of Tang completely dumbfounded.

Even the three ministers were dumbfounded.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said, "I've heard from the queen that the Sixth Prince's mind is free and easy, which is really surprising... But as a prince, with royal blood, His Highness the Sixth Prince really can't bear to say that Confucius and Mencius Learning, pedantic and old-fashioned, that is the learning of the sages!"

Tang Wang originally wanted to personally discipline and discipline this disobedient son.

Now Changsun Wuji jumped out.

This is a good thing!

You must know that these three ministers are all old antiques, old fritters, old monsters, and the method of debate. Even if you are a king, it is difficult to change the inner thoughts of these three people.

But no one expected that the sixth prince shook his head, looked at Changsun Wuji with a face full of indifference, and suddenly smiled strangely: "My lord Changsun's words, I forgive you, His Highness, I don't agree with you. Although Confucius and Mencius are taught to the world, but Times are changing, and people are always changing.”

"Huh?" Changsun Wuji chuckled and asked, "Heh, is Your Highness the Sixth Prince going to debate with this official? I will listen attentively."

Who is Changsun Wuji?

Even the current king of Tang, Changsun Wuji would dare to refute, let alone the sixth prince in front of him.

Tang Wang saw that Liu Zi and Changsun Wuji began to confront each other.

Tang Wang suddenly felt a little interesting, and wanted to hear what this rebellious son could say, and whether it would embarrass his eldest grandson Wuji.

No matter what the result is, the emperor of Tang Dynasty is looking forward to it.

Because the eldest grandson Wuji often doesn't take himself seriously, and his sixth son also disobeys him.

No matter who loses between the two, King Tang is the winner and a spectator!

"My lord grandson, you are an elder and a senior, so you don't dare to debate. But this prince just wants to ask your lord a few questions."

Speaking of which, Li Jianbai took a few steps forward, and asked casually and playfully: "Since Master Changsun admires the study of Confucius and Mencius so much, may I ask, who wrote the study of Confucius and Mencius?"

"Of course it was written by Confucius and Mencius!" Master Changsun replied without hesitation.

And Li Jianbai immediately asked with a smile: "In ancient times, Yao and Shun, did they have apprentices? In the ancient dynasty, Jie and Zhou, did they have teachers?"

Changsun Wuji frowned, but didn't speak yet.

Wang Shi'an, the chief academician on the side, chuckled, because Wang Shi'an secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid this is the eldest grandson, and the gutter will overturn the boat.

as predicted.

Changsun Wuji seemed to have thought of something too, but he still frowned and said, "Jie and Zhou are kings and emperors, so they naturally have teachers to teach them. Yao and Shun are also ancient sages, but I haven't heard of anyone teaching them."

"Since this is the case, why do those who have a teacher become a foolish king, and those who do not have a teacher become a sage king?... Can it be understood that it is better not to teach than to teach?"

[Jie and Zhou are the two stupid kings, but they have teachers and professors! 】

[However, Yao and Shun, without the guidance of a teacher, can become the emperor of the human race! 】

Those who do not have a teacher become sages, but those who have a teacher become fools.

The first point, Li Jianbai strongly stated that having a master or not having a master is of little significance, it mainly depends on the person!

As soon as the words came out.

Wang Shi'an, I understand. In the argument between Changsun Wuji and the sixth prince, the eldest grandson has already lost!

"This... this..." Changsun Wuji was speechless.

Li Jianbai, who laughed lightly, suddenly asked again: "The ancient sage Confucius and Mencius, do they have a teacher?"
