Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 445 Remembrance of the Past

"Peaches and plums are all over the world", it is not very appropriate to describe the person who saw Li Gang off. Don't look at the old master lying in the coffin, but this does not prevent people from respecting and loving him.Li Liyan and Li Shaozhi these days, apart from taking turns to keep watch, they also arranged for relatives, friends and students who came from various states to attend the funeral.

Among these people, from Zizhu officials to state government officials, from current great Confucian scholars to supervisors from various places, even great Confucian scholars from various families also came together. This shows the influence of the old master in the Confucian school during his lifetime.

After the funeral, the two brothers of the Li family were responsible for sending off relatives and friends. This was not because they were unfilial, but because the crown prince had ordered him to have a good talk with the teacher, which was regarded as a final farewell.

After sending Henglian to a distance, Li Chengqian sat down with a cushion, pulled out a jar of wine, poured half of it for the old master, and then took another sip.

"Master Li, you, your prestige is too high, and there are too many people here. If it weren't for the six rate guarding the outside alone, there would be more people coming. You are always the most respectable scholar since the founding of the dynasty. , so that this student doesn’t have the time to talk to you!”

"Look, it's clean now. Now I can see the benefits of power." After speaking, Li Chengqian pointed to the open space around him, and then took another sip of wine.

"The student has read your last words, but the student cannot fully agree to you. Sun Chongna has already found the clue. As long as we find out who did it, no matter who it is, it will cost him blood."

"However, don't worry, Gu will not affect the country's community and the well-being of the common people because of private affairs. You should have confidence in your own educational achievements. The rope of responsibility has tied Gu to the country like a mastiff. On the pillar of Datang, isn't it?..."

As he spoke, the tears in the corners of Li Chengqian's eyes flowed into threads. In Li Chengqian's heart, Old Li Gang was not only his teacher, but more like an amiable grandfather.

Although he has his own grandfather, what Emperor Taiwu did and what Li Gang did had a completely different influence on him along the way.

"Don't make jokes, it's human nature!" After wiping away tears with his sleeve, the embarrassed Li Chengqian could only drink to cover up his embarrassment.

Hey, after a long sigh, Li Chengqian looked up at the blue sky and continued: "In this world, Gu will only talk to two people. My heart is full of bitterness, I am truly lonely!"

"Do you still remember what was the first lesson you taught in the East Palace in the first year of Zhenguan? It wasn't a collection of classics and history, it wasn't etiquette, righteousness and shame, and it wasn't the country and society.

At the beginning, Li Chengqian was also jealous of this "Prince Killer", not because he taught the two princes to be abolished, but because he felt a little frustrated.You must know that those two are not flashy idiots. At the beginning of the founding of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they also had their own achievements.

But after a long time of contact, looking back and thinking about it, I really don't blame the old man. After all, politics is only about success and failure, and there is right and wrong.

Li Gang's first lesson was a bit special. He explained what a prince is from a different perspective, and how he can gain power while reassuring the emperor, especially after he knew that Li Chengqian had plans to lead troops.

Taking Yang Yong and Jian Jian as examples, he deeply analyzed how to face various crises in the struggle for imperial power. It can be said that this lesson refreshed Li Chengqian's understanding of the position of the crown prince.

Li Gang believes that the prince is a person who is not a king or a minister. From the moment he is registered, he is the target of everyone including the emperor, because your every action may be misunderstood as rebellion and immorality. How to test the bottom line to achieve the goal of strengthening oneself is the first essential to be proficient in being a prince.

It was because Yang Yong and Jiancheng couldn't grasp the speed inside that they failed in the confrontation again and again, and finally died of ruin.

Secondly, if you want to be an emperor, you have to learn to control your desires. There are many stupid emperors in history. In fact, they were not bad at the beginning, but because of their high position and power for a long time, they gradually lost themselves in power. Examples There is no need to mention it, because there will be such a person after almost every dynasty.

It is often because of a small matter in life that they accumulate at a critical point after a long period of time, and then they go degenerate, and they do things that are so absurd, ridiculous, and incomprehensible to normal people.

Now that you have enjoyed this honor, you have to accept the burning pain without losing your ambition. You must always maintain a calm heart and compare gains and losses objectively and practically. It is absolutely impossible for a mighty monarch like the emperor to survive decades and then successfully inherit the throne.

In this way, Li Chengqian sat here and babbled all afternoon, until the sun went down, and then he stood up with the wine jar dangling: "Mr. How did Gu beat this rigid world." After finishing speaking, after finishing the remaining wine in the jar, he walked outside with steady steps.

The prince was in a bad mood and drank a lot of wine, so Heng Lian specially told the brothers on duty today, asking them not to make abnormal noises.Regarding Henglian's order, the guards expressed their understanding. Although everyone has not read many books, they still understand the principle of respecting teachers.

"Heng Lian!"

Li Chengqian, who was lying on the closing curtain, suddenly called out, which shocked Heng Lian. The prince drank a lot today. Could it be that the brothers did not lift it properly, which made His Highness want to vomit!
"The last general is here, Your Highness, is it uncomfortable, why don't you stop and rest for a while?"

"Chuan Gu's decree, the prince's young teacher - Zhang Xuansu will take over the position of Master Li, and the left concubine - Liu Shuyi will assist him, and he will be in charge immediately, so there must be no mistake!" After finishing speaking, he tucked the blanket on his body, Then fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after the frame of the East Palace entered the Shuntian Gate, in the Chengqing Hall, Gan Yun stood at the bottom of the steps and reported to the emperor who was reading a book.

His son is a man of affection, he stayed in Zhaoling for a day today, if he doesn't come back, Li Shimin won't worry about it.After putting down the book in his hand, Li Shimin said calmly: "Gan Yun, among the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, who is suitable to be the prince and grand teacher?"

"Your Majesty, what you said made the old slave question. There are too many people who have learned from the rich and the rich, and the slaves are blinded by it. How do you know who should be the grand master?
Besides, the inner palace of my Tang Dynasty has family laws, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, you, don't scare the slaves! "

Hehe, "What a slave, he's really shrewd. What's the use of learning to be rich? That kid has already been carved into shape by Li Gang. Ordinary people, he won't pay attention to him."
