At this time, Changsun Wuji also stood up and spoke slowly and calmly.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that the author of the "Three Character Classic" acted secretly and had an unclear purpose. He should be investigated strictly."
"Do you really want to know who the author of the Three Character Classic is?" Li Shimin slowly sat back behind the imperial case.
"Exactly." The ministers and workers who stood out in line all nodded in unison.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised slightly in a playful tone.
"Actually, I have already found out who the author of the Three Character Classic is. I'm just thinking about whether I should say it or not."
"???" All civil and military officials in the dynasty looked at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with doubts and bewilderment, whose smile seemed a bit naughty.
"Your Majesty has known this for a long time?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but come out of the queue and saluted Li Shimin and asked.
"That's not true, I just found out." Li Shimin nodded slightly towards Fang Xuanling and replied.
Oh, I'm not that stupid. If I said I knew it a long time ago, wouldn't it make you ministers think that I'm teasing you?
Fang Xuanling raised her eyebrows and saluted Li Shimin.
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty, that I can't wait to know the name of this great talent?"
"How can such a person who is secretive and sneaky be considered a great talent?" Kong Yingda said again in a very unhappy mood.
At this time, Wei Zheng, another loyal minister, was unhappy and stood up and said in a deep voice to Kong Yingda.
"Please be careful, Mr. Kong. Since the author of the "Three Character Classic" was able to produce such an enlightening masterpiece, he is so talented that Wei has great admiration for him."
"Perhaps he has some reasons for not serving as an official. Now that Your Majesty knows who he is, why does Kong Changshi need to comment too much on you?"
"You!" Kong Yingda's face darkened instantly and he glared at Wei Zheng fiercely. Wei Zheng stared back without showing any weakness.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda and asked the most important question.

"Everyone must know "The Thousand-Character Essay", right?" Li Shimin did not directly answer Changsun Wuji, but referred to the enlightenment article of the Tang Dynasty: "The Thousand-Character Essay".
All the civil servants were speechless. Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't know "The Thousand-Character Classic"? This can be regarded as the enlightenment reading for many courtiers when they were studying in the past.
But since His Majesty asked this, and knowing that His Majesty has the opportunity to talk about sex, Changsun Wuji, who likes to ramble the most, nodded with a smile and answered.
"Of course I know this "Thousand Character Essay". This article was written by Sanqi Shilang of the Liang Dynasty and was written by Zhou Xingsi who was involved in the matter.
Four words and one sentence, not only neatly contrasted and clearly organized, but also of great literary talent, using the style of poetry and poetry to write an enlightening article..."
Seeing that his brother-in-law was so righteous, Li Shimin nodded and smiled slightly. "Yes, but this article was created for enlightenment."
"But for enlightened children, it seems a bit too profound, but it is quite popular among literati..."
"A few months ago, the prince accompanied the emperor to the Lishan Tangquan Palace for summer vacation. He talked to the officials of the East Palace about our great Tang Dynasty's inspirational innovation and the launch of the imperial examination."
"However, the only thing that can be used to enlighten people is the Thousand-Character Classic. However, in our dynasty, there are many capable and wise men, and there are countless people who have written books and established lectures.
But there is no imitation of the "Thousand-Character Essay", an enlightening article to enlighten children around the world who are aspiring to study..."
Suddenly, I heard His Majesty's words change and he mentioned Prince Li Chengqian. In an instant, there was a commotion among the courtiers.
You must know that the prince's foot ailment has not been cured for a long time, and rumors about his bad moral character have previously made His Majesty angry in the hustle and bustle inside and outside Chang'an.
After that, His Majesty simply allowed the prince to accompany the emperor to Lishan Tangquan Palace, which was seen in the eyes of all the courtiers.
It was obviously to avoid the center of the whirlpool of rumors and to allow the prince to relax.
After that, news began to emerge one after another that His Highness the King of Wei was likely to become the new candidate for the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, no one expected that King Li Tai of Wei suffered from a hidden illness, and after the rumors about his personal ethics broke out, the rumors criticizing His Highness the Crown Prince finally ceased gradually.
There is also much less news about Wei King Li Tai becoming the crown prince.
But no matter what, the prince's status far away from the center has already left an impression on many courtiers.
That is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have gradually lost His Majesty's favor. Otherwise, why would he go to Lishan Tangquan Palace for several months?
Previously, ministers even requested a report, hoping that Your Majesty would allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the East Palace to manage politics. However, His Majesty ignored the news.
This further confirmed the rumors that the prince had fallen out of favor with His Majesty.
But at this moment, I saw His Majesty talking about the Crown Prince with a smile on his face, his tone was gentle, and there was even a hint of doting that had never been seen in the past.
It really made the civil and military officials of the whole court feel a little helpless for a while, and they didn't understand what was going on with His Majesty.
Li Shimin, however, continued to talk with a smile.
"Therefore, the prince has instructed the ministers of the Eastern Palace who are accompanying him to write an article that is more suitable for enlightening young children than the "Thousand-Character Essay"."
"And the courtiers of the East Palace who were serving on the left and right began to... immerse themselves in, um, immersed themselves in reading poetry and books, intending to compile an enlightening article..."
Fang Xuanling looked at His Majesty with a confused look on his face. He knew how to detect facial expressions and saw His Majesty's face with a weird smile.
I also saw that when His Majesty mentioned the adjectives of immersed in reading poetry and books, it was not in a tone of praise, but as if he was gritting his teeth. What the hell does this mean?
"Do you know who of the courtiers from the East Palace who were serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are gone?"
"Many officials from the East Palace have stayed in Chang'an, and it seems that not many of them followed."
"Could it be Zhang Xuansu? This man is indeed a well-educated scholar with outstanding literary talent."
"No, no, no, I think it should be Yu Zhining. Yu Zhanshi's talents are also very outstanding."
"It should be Yu Zhining. It seems that Zhang Shaozhan did not accompany the prince. He stayed in the East Palace to take charge."
"Is Yu Zhining the only minister who follows the Crown Prince?"
The civil servants began to whisper and discuss, and the generals here were also chattering.
Even Yu Chigong, whose son had gone to Lishan Mountain last month to take a shift, twirled his thick beard and couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice.
"Is it possible that my second son is also involved?"
"Yes, yes, my uncle must also be involved."
"My son also went, maybe he is one of them."
"Hey, Lao Cheng, what are you doing in a daze? Could it be related to your third child?"
Cheng Yaojin had a thick beard as strong as a needle, and his expression looked a little confused.
"A few days ago, my Sanlang seemed to have mentioned it when he was drinking with me when he returned home."
