Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8 and Teaching Sons (revised two in one)

Gao Ming hates women crying the most, especially his own. Seeing Su Wan'er crying into tears again, Gao Ming begged her for mercy.

"Wan'er, don't cry, count me as my fault, can you? It's not like you don't know, I'm still not clear about it."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er stopped crying, and then looked at him suspiciously.

"Is what His Highness said true?"

Gao Ming nodded quickly.

"Of course it's true. It's better than real gold. Also, don't keep calling me Your Highness, it's not too unfamiliar."

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Su Wan'er burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm being stingy, I hope you don't blame me."

Hearing the change of her address, Gao Ming also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well, I don't dare to blame you. I can't stand if you cry again. My mind is really messed up now. Why don't you just tell me how many sons I have?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er immediately sighed.

"Lang Jun only has two children, Xiang'er and Jue'er."

Listening to Su Wan'er's tone, Gao Ming guessed that there might be something inside, but since she didn't say anything, Gao Ming didn't intend to ask more.

Looking at the little Zhengtai who was looking at him timidly, Gao Ming immediately waved to him.

"Son, come here!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Jue immediately shrank back his body. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming's heart was filled with emotion.

"Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, even your son doesn't want to get close to you. You are really a failure, but you are lucky. Since I accept your daughter-in-law, brother, I will accept your son too. Don't worry, I It must be more competent than you!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately showed Li Jue a smile that he thought was very bright.

"My dear son, come quickly and let daddy touch your dog's head, hehehehe..."

Gao Ming felt that his smile was very sunny, but Li Jue obviously didn't think so. Seeing his "terrifying" smile, Xiao Zhengtai burst into tears with a "wow".

"Woooooooooooo..."

He seemed to be really frightened, so he cried so sadly that even Su Wan'er couldn't coax him.

"Don't be afraid, Jue'er, your father is playing tricks on you, don't cry, don't cry..."

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"Who made a funny face, I was clearly pretending to be kind, okay?"

Seeing Gao Ming's stiff face, Su Wan'er was worried that he would be angry, so she hurriedly carried Li Jue out.

After the two of them went out, Gao Ming turned his head to look at Liu Fu who was putting medicine on his waist, and then smacked his lips.

"Old Liu, you said that Su Wan'er is only twenty, and her son is four or five years old. Does that mean she gave birth at the age of 16?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Fu immediately laughed.

"What Your Highness said is very true. In fact, Weichen's first wife gave birth at the age of 15, and now my Liu family has five generations under the same roof, hahahaha!"

Looking at the smiling Liu Fu, Gao Ming immediately spit on the ground unceremoniously.

"To actually mutilate underage girls, you shameless scumbags, I'm sorry!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly realized that his expression seemed incomplete, so he continued to add a sentence.

"Well, in fact, among you stinky and shameless scum, I, a stinky and shameless scum, are also included. Pooh!"

"..."

Liu Fu left after applying the medicine for Gao Ming, with a strange expression on his face when he left.

After he left, Su Wan'er led Li Jue in again. After entering, Li Jue walked up to Gao Ming, and called him timidly.

"Father!"

At this time Gao Ming was lying on the bed, when he heard Li Jue calling him, he smiled slightly, then reached out and touched his little head.

"What a good boy, don't call me King Father anymore, just call me Daddy, okay?"

When the little guy heard it, he nodded quickly, and then let out a childish cry.

"father!"

Seeing that he was so obedient, Gao Ming grinned again, and then gently patted his little head.

"Je'er is so good, all right, let's go out and play!"

Seeing Gao Ming's amicable expression, the little guy nodded happily, and then bounced out, leaving only Gao Ming and Su Wan'er in the room.

Su Wan'er sat beside Gao Ming's bed, her face was full of worry.

"Lang Jun, how is your waist?"

Hearing her words, Gao Ming frowned suddenly.

"It's not very good. I'm afraid it won't work tonight. Wan'er, please bear with it for a while, and treat you well after a while as a husband."

After speaking, she winked at Su Wan'er.

Originally, when Su Wan'er heard the first half of Gao Ming's sentence, she still looked worried, but when she finished listening to Gao Ming's whole sentence, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment.

"Lang Jun knows how to play tricks on my concubine, I hate it!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and twisted Gao Ming's waist, pinching Gao Ming until he took a breath.

"hiss……"

Seeing Gao Ming's exaggerated expression, Su Wan'er's face immediately turned pale.

"Lang Jun... I'm sorry Lang Jun, I forgot that your waist was injured, I didn't mean it..."

As she said that, Su Wan'er's eye circles turned red again, and there were tears in her eye sockets, which were about to fall.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming quickly raised his palm.

"stop!"

Looking at Su Wan'er who looked terrified, Gao Ming sighed suddenly, pulled her hand over, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, then smiled softly at her.

"Wan'er, I am your husband, no matter what happens, I will protect you, so no matter what happens, you don't have to be afraid."

After listening to Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's face turned red again, and her eyes looked at Gao Ming with affection.

"Lang Jun, I..."

She seemed to be thinking about something, while biting her lip, while rubbing the corner of her clothes, after a while, she looked at Gao Ming with a flushed face.

"The dance that Mr. Lang said... that dance, I can also dance for Mr. Lang..."

She seemed to be extremely shy, her voice became softer as she spoke, and finally became as thin as a mosquito, barely audible, but after hearing her words, Gao Ming was happy.

Su Wan'er belongs to that kind of classical lady, and it's really not easy to get him to agree to dance that kind of open dance, which can already be regarded as a surprise.

So, as soon as her words fell, Gao Ming slapped her hands with a "slap".

"Okay, Wan'er, you said this, don't go back on your word!"

"En!" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan's body trembled, but she still nodded with both hands.

Seeing her nodding, Gao Ming immediately cheered, and he didn't care about the pain in his back, he got up from the bed in a blink of an eye, and then ran to close the door.

After closing the door, Gao Ming ran back to the bed and got down on the bed again, then smiled at Su Wan'er.

"Wan'er, it's just the two of us now, let's get started!"

After Gao Ming's voice fell, it took Su Wan'er a long time to stand up, and then she waved her long sleeves, and began to dance lightly, her skirts fluttering, which was too beautiful to behold.

"Beautiful! So beautiful!"

Where had Gao Ming seen such a scene before?He was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but stood up and walked towards Su Wan'er.

Just when he was about to do something, before he could do anything, the eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Report to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, please see me!"

Hearing this sound, Su Wan'er was like a frightened rabbit, and got into the bed with a "whoosh", wrapping her whole body in it, not even showing her head.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help shouting.

"Fuck!"

Su Wan'er was too shy. After being frightened, she hid in the quilt and refused to come out. Gao Ming tried several times but failed to coax her out of the quilt, let alone let her continue dancing.

In desperation, he had no choice but to stretch his hands into the bed and knead for a while, making Su Wan'er coquettish and angry before giving up.

It was still dark at this time, and Gao Ming couldn't fall asleep so early, so he just got up from the bed, and went out while rubbing his waist.

Seeing Gao Ming coming out, the eunuch standing at the door hurriedly bowed to him.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor asks to see you."

Hearing his words, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"Okay, let him go to the study to find me."

"Yes!"

After leaving the bedroom, Gao Ming went to the study. Although it was not dark yet, the lamp was already lit in the study. A young eunuch was standing by the desk with hands down, as if waiting for Gao Ming's command.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming frowned immediately, and then waved his hand directly at him.

"You go out first, I'll call you later."

"Yes!"

The eunuch agreed and went out, while Gao Ming sat down in front of the desk, then picked up a book and read it, but he only glanced at it and threw the book away.

Because he can't understand.

The characters in the Tang Dynasty are regular script, and they are all traditional characters. Most of these characters can still be understood by Gao Ming, but Gao Ming has no way to connect them.

In addition to the lack of punctuation marks, Gao Ming felt dizzy after only two glances.

"Oh, classical Chinese is too difficult to understand, it's better to speak vernacular!"

While Gao Ming was feeling emotional, the door of the study was pushed open, and a boy who looked eight or nine years old walked in, and bowed deeply to Gao Ming.

"The child has seen the father!"

Looking at the boy below, Gao Ming immediately smiled, because he already knew the boy's identity.

Li Xiang was born in the eighth year of Zhenguan. He should be the eldest son of Li Chengqian, but unfortunately he is only a concubine, because if he was Li Chengqian's son, then the eunuch should not have called him "Emperor's eldest grandson" just now, but It should be "Emperor Grandson"!
Although there is only one word difference between the two, the difference in treatment is more than a star and a half, because the emperor's grandson is a candidate for the throne, and the emperor's eldest grandson can only be a prince at best in the future.

Of course, whether the two get along well in the future depends on their father's status. To put it bluntly, it depends on whether Gao Ming can get along well.

So at this time, Li Xiang looked at Gao Ming with trembling eyes.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Gao Ming found that whether it was the former Li Jue or the current Li Xiang, when they looked at him, apart from fear, there was distrust in their eyes. Is this still the way a son looks at his father?

Gao Ming suddenly felt that Li Chengqian was a sad person. His father alienated him, his wife and children feared him, and his subordinates betrayed him. What fun is there in such a life?
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly sighed, and then smiled slightly at Li Xiang who was standing below.

"Xiang'er, what's the purpose of coming to find my father this time?"

Perhaps this was the first time Li Xiang saw his father's amiable appearance. After Gao Ming's voice fell, he was stunned immediately, and after he realized it, he quickly bowed to Gao Ming.

"Return...to report to the father, the child heard that the father is unwell, so I came here to pay my respects to the father."

His voice was a little trembling, obviously he was still a little uneasy, seeing this scene, Gao Ming was also very helpless.

"Frozen three feet does not happen in a day. It seems that if you want to reverse the original image, you still can't act too hastily, you have to take it slowly."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming smiled at Li Xiang again.

"Well, you've made up your mind. It's fine to be a father, so you don't have to worry. By the way, have you been neglecting your studies recently?"

The clever trick of asking questions was learned from Li Shimin, so he used it against Li Xiang at this time, but fortunately, the effect seemed to be pretty good.

"Reporting to my father, my child's studies have not been wasted, and today the master of the Imperial College still praises me for studying well!"

At this time, Li Xiang seemed to feel Gao Ming's concern, and the smile on his face became more. Seeing his happy appearance, Gao Ming secretly smiled in his heart.

"No matter how much he pretends to be mature, he is still just a child of eight or nine years old."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming nodded slightly again.

"Well, that's good, then tell me what the masters of the Imperial College have said today?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Xiang immediately laughed.

"Father, today the master is talking about "Encouraging Learning". The gentleman said: Learning can't be done. The green is taken from the blue, and the green is from the blue... Therefore, if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; if you don't approach the deep Creek, I don't know how thick the land is..."

Seeing the eloquent Li Xiang, Gao Ming immediately opened his mouth and widened his eyes, with an expression of disbelief.

"How is this child's brain so long? He can memorize thousands of words of classical Chinese without pause. Is this the legendary memorization fluently?"

Under Gao Ming's surprised gaze, Li Xiang quickly finished reciting an exhortation to study, and then he bowed his hands to Gao Ming.

"Father, this is what the child learned a lot today, please correct me, Father."

Upon hearing his words, Gao Ming was a little dumbfounded.

"Damn it, I didn't understand it, so I'm still correcting me!"

However, it is impossible for Gao Ming to say such words, so he could only cough twice.

"Ahem... Well, the book is good, but you can't be proud. As the saying goes, 'humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind'. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. Remember that there are roads in the mountains of books and diligence. , Learning is boundless and hard work, remember to review it several times when you go back, the correct way to learn is to review the old and learn the new, remember not to read dead books, dead books."

After listening to Gao Ming's words, Li Xiang immediately showed reverence on his face, and then bowed deeply to Gao Ming again

"What the father said is very true, the child should keep it in his heart!"

Seeing Li Xiang looking at him adoringly, Gao Ming was relieved.

"Finally passed the test. It was really dangerous just now. I almost revealed my secrets. I didn't expect Li Chengqian, an idiot, to have such a son who is a top student. It seems that I have to use my strengths and avoid weaknesses in the future, otherwise the majesty of this father will not be maintained in the long run."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately put on a serious face towards Li Xiang.

"Xiang'er, you have to remember that 'the people are the ruler of the water and the boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn it'. As members of the royal family, we have to deal with the common people in the future, so we pay attention to easy-to-understand articles. Only when the people understand it can the officials below distort the government order."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Xiang nodded immediately.

"Father, what should the child do?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"How about this, when you go back to write an article, use "My Father King" as the title, and write about all aspects from appearance characteristics to behavior and dealing with things. It is me and not others, and the number of words must not be less than [-], understand?"

"Uh……"

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, but he still nodded.

"Father, my son understands, my son will leave!"

Gao Ming nodded with a smile again, and after Li Xiang walked out of the study, he couldn't help exhaling a long breath.

"Huh... finally got this kid done, but I can't relax now, I have to write a model essay."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming was ready to write with a pen, but when he saw the inkstone of the brush in front of the desk, he was dumbfounded again.

He can neither use a brush nor write traditional Chinese characters, what should he do?
