Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1180 Training the Prince
Kong Yingda and the others kept talking.

They didn't like Qin Tian's proposal very much.

Li Shimin nodded when they were talking about the same thing: "Everyone, Aiqing, I think Qin Aiqing's method is good, why don't you try it first, if it doesn't work, we will change it back."

Kong Yingda and the others were also rich and well-educated people from the Tang Dynasty. It would be a bit unsightly for Li Shimin to reject them directly, so he made the matter a little more general.

This, he still learned from Qin Tian.

Whether things are successful or not, let’s try it first, and then talk about it if it doesn’t work.

After Li Shimin made such a decision, the popular beards of Kong Yingda and others were about to turn up, but now they are just trying. If they dare not even try, it will appear that they are too unconfident.

They had no choice but to endure it, but they didn't give up in their hearts, because they didn't think Qin Tian's arrangement could really have any good effect.

After saying this, Qin Tian smiled: "Your Majesty, since you agree now, let's make arrangements for who will teach the prince what."

According to Qin Tian's method, different teachers have to teach different knowledge, so whoever teaches what must have a division of labor.

Qin Tian was worried that if they divided themselves after returning to the East Palace, it would inevitably lead to unnecessary conflicts due to some differences, so it would be relatively better to divide in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't think too much, and nodded: "Okay, Kong Aiqing's knowledge is unmatched by others, so you are responsible for teaching the prince to read, it's just purely academic stuff."

Kong Yingda pouted, but still complied.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin talked about it one after another, and divided them according to some abilities and specialties of other people, such as those who teach mathematics, those who teach painting, those who teach music, and so on.

Finally, Li Shimin said Qin Tian.

"Qin Aiqing is good at martial arts, and is also very proficient in all aspects, then you will be responsible for the physical training of the prince. As the heir of the Tang Dynasty, it is not acceptable if you are not good at martial arts. Also, some education on the prince's morals will also be entrusted to you. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin scanned the crowd again, and said: "After a while, I will conduct an assessment on the prince. At that time, I will look at the results and make other decisions."

After speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand and let them leave.

Qin Tian and Kong Yingda retreated under the orders and left the palace. Kong Yingda snorted: "Qin Tian, ​​your method will definitely not work, and you will definitely lose in the end."

Qin Tian shrugged and said: "Mr. Kong said that, winning or losing is not important to me, I just need to strengthen His Royal Highness's physical fitness, and his moral character is recognized. This is my duty, but you, if you The prince hasn't made much progress, so I don't know if it's because you guys did it on purpose, or if I can't do it this way."

"you……"

They soon discovered that they had been fooled by Qin Tian. If Li Shimin conducted an assessment on Li Chengqian after a period of time and found that Li Chengqian was not good enough, then Li Shimin might think that Qin Tian's method was not good, or that they did not teach well. good.

But now that the division of labor is clear, if the prince is not good enough, he can find the corresponding person, and they can't even find an excuse.

In this case, even if they wanted to play tricks, they couldn't do anything, so they could only try their best to teach Li Chengqian.

They felt that Qin Tian was too treacherous.

But at this time Qin Tian smiled lightly, turned around and left, he had already achieved his goal, to let these people understand that being lazy and playing tricks may be their own who suffer in the end.

After all, if what he taught changed Li Chengqian, but what others taught didn't, then it's not a question of the method, but a question of the teacher.
-
Before the Shangyuan Festival came, Kong Yingda and Qin Tian began to teach Prince Li Chengqian according to Qin Tian's arrangement.

A class lasts about half an hour, and there are three or four classes a day.

Relatively speaking, compared to before, Li Chengqian's time is much more relaxed.

Although Kong Yingda and the others hated this method, they could only do their best to teach Li Chengqian.

Here, Qin Tian was not in a hurry to improve Li Chengqian's moral character, he just improved Li Chengqian's physical fitness first.

Today, it was Qin Tian's turn to teach Li Chengqian's physical fitness class.

The martial arts field in the East Palace is not very big, but it is similar to the playground of later generations.

The weather was still a bit chilly, Li Chengqian was wearing thick clothes and shrunk his neck.

"Mr. Qin, what are we going to learn in this physical class, why don't you teach me kung fu?"

The men of the Tang Dynasty are passionate, even Li Chengqian, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, is full of demands on kung fu.

However, after he finished saying this, Qin Tian smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness wants to learn Kung Fu, naturally there is no problem, but to learn Kung Fu, one must have a solid foundation. Is the Crown Prince's foundation stable?"

"Stable, of course, the prince has been trained since he was a child, and he has also learned a lot of kung fu, so don't worry."

As a prince, Li Shimin must have thought about this since he was very young, so it is normal for Li Chengqian to have martial arts, but it is not a particularly powerful one.

But there must be something to his roots.

Qin Tian smiled slightly: "Then I have to test the crown prince's foundation first. This martial arts arena is not particularly big. His Highness the crown prince should run around the outer circle ten times."

Hearing that Qin Tian asked him to run around the martial arts field for ten laps, Li Chengqian's eyebrows immediately condensed. The martial arts field is not big, but ten laps is too long. He can still handle two laps, and ten laps is probably enough. .

"Mr. Qin, you are embarrassing the prince. The prince said that I have a foundation in martial arts, why do you let me run?"

"His Royal Highness wants to practice martial arts, he must have such a foundation. In fact, even if the prince does not practice martial arts, we still have to let His Royal Highness run in physical fitness class. Only after ten laps, we will do other things such as riding and shooting. For things like that, His Royal Highness, let’s run five laps first, and we will increase slowly in the future, and when the prince still has the strength to run ten laps, we will proceed to the next projects.”

Hearing that today's physical class was just running, Li Chengqian was speechless. Running was too boring for him.

"Mr. Qin, are you playing tricks on the prince?"

Qin Tian shrugged: "How dare I fool His Highness the Crown Prince, you just need to train according to what I said, if it doesn't work, I will take the blame and resign, and I will never bother His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian was upset, but he knew that Qin Tian was ordered by the emperor, and he still had a ruler in his hand, so he could only follow Qin Tian's instructions and start running training.
