Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 271 The frightened Guo Yu

Chen Qingsi could see He Lan Minzhi's admiration for her, the arrogance in his heart despite his young age, and the knowledge revealed in his conversation...

He Lan Minzhi was by no means a good-for-nothing playboy. Historically, He Lan Minzhi was morally corrupt, but more of it was revenge for Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. An older brother was toyed with and tortured by his own sister.

Is this evildoer his uncle, his ulterior stepfather, or the emperor of the dynasty? The murderer is his aunt, the queen of the dynasty...

How does Helan Minzhi fight against it?

Apart from choosing disgusting Li Zhi and disgusting Wu Zetian, there seems to be no other choice.

So he seduced the princess, slept with Wu Zetian's 80-year-old mother, and became Wu Zetian's stepfather. He was even suspected of raping Princess Taiping...

He Lan Minzhi's life is a tragedy...

Chen Qingsi was not so compassionate as to rewrite Helan Minzhi's fate. He just wanted to change the future trajectory of the Tang Dynasty, prevent the collapse of order, and completely eliminate the detours that should not have been taken.

Chen Qingsi still doesn't know where to start. After all, at this time, it is said that there will be a female emperor in the future, who is the current empress Wu. Let alone no one believes it, even Empress Wu herself does not believe it.

Ambition is not something you are born with, it is the result of slowly expanding after you gain power.

Even Li Shimin had no intention of competing with his brother for the crown prince at first. It wasn't until his military exploits reached that point that his ambition inevitably began to grow.

As for Wu Zetian now, she doesn't even have the right to participate in politics, so how can she dare to think that she will hold the power of the world as a woman?

The best result that Chen Qingsi can think of is that Queen Wu will be Queen Wu, and then the prince will succeed to the throne smoothly. It would be best if Wu Zhou doesn't appear.

Of course Chen Qingsi knows that the ones who can really influence everything are Li Zhi and Empress Wu, but he doesn't have the ability to influence these two top bosses yet. Start with the people around them, step by step from easy to difficult.

Now that we have entered the East Palace, let’s start with Li Hong and He Lan Minzhi.

Chen Qingsi did not start with Li Hong alone because he found that Li Hong was particularly dependent on He Lan Minzhi.

The relationship between the two is extraordinary, and it should be easier for the two of them to get started together than either one of them alone.

Li Hong wiped away his tears and looked at Helan Minzhi pitifully.

Just as Chen Qingsi thought, Li Hong's emotional attitude towards He Lan Minzhi was different.

Li Hong was only four years old when he was canonized as crown prince. He was raised as a crown prince at the age of four. People around him taught him how to be a crown prince.

Since Li Hong became the governor, he has been treated as a crown prince. Everything he says and does must be consistent with his status. Everyone around him respects and favors him. No one dares to speak loudly in front of him, and no one wants to play with him. , until Helan Minzhi appeared.

He Lanmin is versatile, unrestrained and unrestrained. He brought a different world to Li Hong, and Li Hong also got his first playmate.

Therefore, no matter how much the people in the East Palace dislike He Lan Minzhi, Li Hong will protect him and speak for him.

It was the same this time, but obviously Chen Qingsi was not easy to talk to and was not afraid of offending Queen Wu.

Li Hongzi hoped that He Lan Minzhi could understand current affairs.

He Lanmin went his own way and didn't care about the attitudes of people like Guo Yu and Zhang Wenguan, but Chen Qingsi, an idol, was different after all. Seeing that he didn't understand her at all, it was like a knife stabbing her heart, and tears of grievance fell from her eyes. Until I heard the last sentence, I felt like my head was buzzing and I was sluggish.

After a long while, he pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "Can I really become Mr.'s student?"

Chen Qingsi said: "It depends on your performance. At least you are not qualified now."

He Lanminzhi bowed and said, "The student will definitely satisfy you." He walked up the pole and directly called himself a student. He grabbed Li Hong and said, "Let's go, Your Highness, let's go to the school."

Li Hong also burst into laughter and said, "Okay!"

The two of them walked towards the school together.

Chen Qingsi looked at the two people's backs, smiled, thought for a moment, and followed them.

In fact, Chen Qingsi still doesn't understand what his role as Prince Yu De is. It literally means to be a servant of praise, and his position is higher than that of a regular servant, but how to restrain the prince's virtue? Are you always accompanying the prince to detect irregularities in him, or something else?

After all, it is a newly established official position and has not yet been determined.

Chen Qingsi's heart is as clear as a mirror, let alone him, even Li Zhi may not be able to figure it out.

This time I am in the north, and I have made military achievements, and also played local administrative roles. In addition, I have planned and constructed the city of Sanshou, and I have made several achievements...

The merits of the imperial examination have not yet been truly settled.

If these contributions are added together, no one will be confused.

Li Zhi is not Li Shimin, who has enough prestige to suppress anyone, and he is not like Li Longji, a mindless trustworthy person. It is reasonable to want to suppress him.

In all likelihood, this Prince Yu De made a temporary decision and wanted to take a look at the situation before deciding on the future.

Since he didn't know what to do, he simply followed Li Hong to see how the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was doing.

Guo Yu just glanced at Chen Qingsi's arrival and stopped talking.

He was angry, but he didn't dare to vent it.

Chen Qingsi didn't even know what Prince Yu De was going to do, and Guo Yu even more so. He only knew that Prince Yude did not belong to any department of Zhanshifu, Menxiafang, Dianshufang or the Three Temples, and no one could control him. He also had direct power to Tianting, which was equivalent to being directly under the jurisdiction of Li Zhi.

Guo Yu thought that Chen Qingsi was within the scope of his power when he came to attend the lecture. He was even worried that Chen Qingsi would be so stupid that he would arrange his faults in front of Li Zhi and give lectures carefully.

Chen Qingsi listened carefully.

I have to admit that Guo Yu’s understanding of the Five Classics.

The Four Books were not popular in this era. It was roughly in the Southern Song Dynasty that the Four Books became official scholarship after the promotion of Zhu Xi, and the theory of the Four Books and the Five Classics came into being.

In the Tang Dynasty, only the "Five Classics" were valued, namely the Book of Songs, the Book of Shang, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals...

Since the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, aristocratic families had the right to interpret the classics, but Li Shimin refused to accept this and ordered Kong Yingda, a great scholar in the world, to annotate the Five Classics and named it Wujing Zhengyi.

It is to tell those people who have the power to interpret culture that what Lao Tzu annotated is justice, and those interpretation rights you have are bullshit, and you have forcibly taken back the right to interpret Confucianism.

So far, the "Five Classics of Justice" has become the authority of Confucianism and the unified standard for scholars to study Confucian classics and imperial examinations. From the Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations were used to select scholars.

As a student of Kong Yingda, Guo Yu has a deep understanding of the "Five Classics of Justice".

Chen Qingsi listened with great interest. He had always been weak in this area, so he listened very carefully.

Guo Yu glanced at Chen Qingsi with his peripheral vision, and was even more frightened when he saw how focused he was: This guy is so careful, isn't he trying to find fault with himself?

One lesson was about heart-stopping...
