Chapter 11 Choosing a Teacher
Now that Li Ke has stood up, he naturally wants to say something. Li Ke is familiar with the history of the country, and naturally he has a lot of years in his head. Zhenguan is not his only answer, but Li Ke hesitates for a moment, and finally agrees. Said these two words.

There is no other reason. If Taizong's rule is not known as Zhenguan, Li Ke always feels that there seems to be a sense of pretentiousness, and it is a pity.

When Li Ke uttered these two words, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, with a look of joy on his face, obviously very satisfied with the word "Zhenguan".

"The way of overturning the sky and the earth is to use chastity to obtain its righteousness and to show its merits. Emperor Yangdi was self-willed and blocked his way of speaking. It was the end of the Sui Dynasty. Our dynasty should take its old teachings. With Zhengchao Gang, the name of Zhenguan is very good. Alright, my minister seconded."

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, hadn't spoken yet, but Kong Yingda, a great scholar at the side, had already clapped his hands and praised him. Obviously, the name "Zhenguan" was very suitable for him.

The word Zhenguan does not involve civil and military disputes, and Li Shimin also said: "The former Sui Dynasty died because of the blockage of speech, and the emperor was stunned. The word Zhenguan is appropriate."

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the eldest grandson Wuji's expression on the side was a little ugly. He wanted to take this opportunity to beat Li Ke and make him lose Li Shimin's sacred heart, but he never expected that Li Ke would really be so early. With preparation, playing to the ground is very beautiful.

But when Changsun Wuji thought about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong. The words "Zhenguan" came from the corollary of "Book of Changes". Why can an eight-year-old boy understand?

The more Changsun Wuji thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He even felt that Li Ke did not come up with the word "Zhenguan" by himself, but someone told Li Ke a long time ago, and Li Ke said it at the right time.

Changsun Wuji once had this kind of thought in his mind, and his heart became more and more sure. Changsun Wuji stood up, glanced at Li Ke, and praised Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness, King Shu, is a handsome young man. He is so talented at such an age." With such attainments in writing and ink, it is comparable to the ancient Ganluo, I congratulate Your Majesty."

If Changsun Wuji's previous words were intended to dig a hole for him, then now, Changsun Wuji is ready to kill him.

Changsun Wuji compared the child prodigy Gan Luo with Li Ke in front of all the officials, and he did not hesitate to praise him. Li Shimin is Li Ke's father, so his face is naturally bright.

But if Li Ke showed his flaws in the later questioning, and it seemed that his name was not worthy of his name, Li Shimin might be the one who would be most angry.

Sure enough, Li Shimin didn't notice Changsun Wuji's intentions. He listened to Changsun Wuji's words, but showed unconcealable joy, and asked Li Ke: "Did my son get the word Zhenguan from the Book of Changes?"

Li Ke was naturally prepared for Li Shimin's question.

Standing in front of the imperial court, Li Ke did not appear in the slightest panic as Changsun Wuji had expected, but replied calmly: "The word Zhenguan comes from the phrase "The way of heaven and earth, and those who watch Zhenguan" in the "Book of Changes". The day before yesterday I followed my mother and concubine to go to Xuandu Temple to fulfill my wish, and I heard this saying by chance in Xuandu Temple, and thought it was quite reasonable, so I dedicated it to my father."

The Book of Changes is originally a Taoist classic and is regarded as a treasure. Li Shimin also knew about Li Ke's leaving the palace to fulfill his vow. It is also reasonable for Li Ke to hear this remark in Xuanduguan.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "My son has a heart, and I am very satisfied with the word Zhenguan."

When Li Shimin said this, the reign of Zhenguan was settled.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly turned ugly. He never thought that Li Ke would actually tell the source, and there was a reason for it.

At this moment, even Changsun Wuji himself was a little messy. He wanted to use this to suppress Li Ke, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

Just now he and Li Ke sang together and helped Li Ke become famous.If Changsun Wuji hadn't cleared his mind, he would have suspected that he belonged to Li Ke.

After today, Li Ke's records in the history of the Tang Dynasty must be inseparable from the comment of "Ke Ke of Shu, Shao Yingmin, proficient in classics and history".

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Ke's performance today. He couldn't help but think of what Li Ke said a few days ago when he mentioned his studies. What I said is very agreeable to me, if my son has a favorite master, I will point it to you as well."

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the strings in the hearts of all the officials in the hall suddenly tightened.

The post of Prince Tutor has been around for a long time since the beginning of the Han Dynasty. All the Prince Tutors are the Prince's confidants and confidantes.In this hall today, no matter who is designated as Li Ke's master, he will be bound together with Li Ke and is closely related.

But after all, Li Chengqian is the prince, and Li Shimin allowed Li Ke to choose a teacher, so naturally he didn't mean to cultivate his confidants for Li Ke, but this kind of interest relationship between master and apprentice is innate, and Li Shimin simply wants to teach Li Ke to The purpose of learning is irrelevant.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ke felt a sudden throbbing in his heart, but this feeling was immediately suppressed by him.

Li Shimin allowed himself to choose a teacher from among the officials, which was naturally a favor for Li Ke, but Li Ke heard it, but he dared not relax in the slightest.

Xiao Yu is the prime minister of the dynasty, with a high position and authority; Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are Li Shimin's humerus, ministers of the prime minister; even Liu Hongji and Yu Shinan are important ministers, which are of great help to him. If he can worship them as teachers, It can be cited as the aid of North Korea and China.

But Li Ke thought about it again, is this really the result Li Shimin wants to see?
Now that the position of the crown prince has been determined, Li Shimin is both a king and a father, how could he be willing to see several princes conspiring and plotting against each other for the throne.

Regardless of whether Li Ke chooses them as teachers, Li Shimin agrees or not, even if Li Ke worships them as teachers, it may cause Li Shimin's worries, expose his ambitions prematurely, and arouse the suspicion of others.

Although the crown prince is determined now, but Li Shimin is in his prime, Li Ke is very clear that there will be many turmoil in the future crown prince, and he must not be in a hurry and become passive instead.

Li Ke pondered for a moment in his heart, and finally said a very unexpected name called Man Chao Shang Xia.

"My son would like to worship secretary Lang Cenwen as his teacher." Li Ke looked up at Li Shimin and said slowly.

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard Li Ke's words. Obviously, he didn't even know who Cen Wenwen was.

It's true, Cen Wen was originally Jingzhou Biejia, but recently he came to Beijing with Li Xiaogong and was recommended as Secretary Lang.Secretary Lang Wei was a sixth-rank official, and he was still considered a person in the local area, but it was very unusual in Chang'an, where the dignitaries were everywhere, and it was reasonable for Li Shimin not to know this person.

However, although Li Shimin didn't know who Cen Wenwen was, he still knew the rank of Secretary Lang.

Secretary Lang is only for the sixth grade, but the master of the king of Shu is for the third grade, and he is only one level away from the six ministers. If he is rashly appointed, it may not be appropriate.

Li Shimin asked Li Ke: "How did you know Cen Wenwen, and why do you want to worship him as a teacher?"

Naturally, Li Ke chose Cen Wenwen as his teacher not on a whim, but after some deliberation.

Cen Wenwen is a famous official who governs the world, needless to say his talent, he can serve as a surrendered official to the prime minister in a court with no roots and connections, his strategy and speculation of the emperor's mind are enough to call Li Ke Heartbroken.

Li Ke replied: "I met Mr. Cen by chance outside the palace today. After talking with him, I just felt that Mr. Cen has studied classics and history, and his literary talents are brilliant. I am deeply impressed by him, so I want to worship Mr. Cen as a teacher. Every day Listen to the instruction."

Li Shimin was very relieved after hearing Li Ke's answer.

Li Ke chooses a teacher without looking at his official position or his family background. He only looks at his knowledge. In Li Shimin's heart, Li Ke has already attached a hook to being simple and studious.

However, Li Shimin would not be hasty in choosing a teacher for Li Ke. Li Shimin asked all the ministers in the hall: "Is there anyone who knows Cen's text?"

Cen Wenwen was originally Li Xiaogong's subordinate, but Li Xiaogong admired Cen Wenwen's talent and learning very much.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Cen Wenwen was originally Jingzhou Biejia. Because of his meritorious service in governing the region, he came to Beijing to worship as secretary. I think Cen Wenwen is pure and filial, with quick writing and wit. , erudite, well-informed, respectful and respectful, can be the teacher of the king of Shu."

Li Xiaogong's words had dispelled most of Li Shimin's worries, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling beside him: "What does Xuanling think?"

Fang Xuanling acted skillfully and knew the importance, Fang Xuanling considered for a moment and said: "I have seen Cen Wenwen's memorial, this person's literary talents are really extraordinary, but Cen Wenwen is now an official worshiping sixth grade, I am afraid it would be inappropriate to promote him too high. , I think that Cen's text can be used as the history of the fourth grade Shu king's mansion to teach the Shu king's lessons on behalf of him."

After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin responded immediately: "What Xuanling said is the words of an old man seeking to seek the country, be sure!"
