Li Tai was as usual, getting up under Bai He's care in the morning, but the first thing he did every morning was to come to Sima Lu Anshou, the palace's Sima, toil.
The commander of the King of Yue Sima, the generals of the royal palace can be regarded as the commander of the royal palace guards and is an eighth-rank master. Unfortunately, Li Tai doesn’t have much idea about this.
I have only vaguely heard that the seventh grade is a threshold, and it is a sect that can be blocked by tens of millions of men. If you cross the eighth grade threshold, you can start a sect and establish a sect. The ninth grade one person is rampant in the world. The tenth grade is knocked on the sky bridge and killed evil. The tenth grade is full of land gods and gods.
When the Buddha sees it, he must lower his eyebrows.
However, because I am only eight years old, I mainly exercise. In Lu Anshou's words, at this age, I can lay the foundation, but if I really want to practice martial arts, I have to wait until my body grows up before talking about it.
After completing the exercise, you will naturally be energetic after washing up, but the focus during the day should still be on studying.
After all, no matter how awesome it is, Li Tai should go to school at the age of eight, but he still has to go to school.
The teacher is Yan Qinli, a Confucian scholar who Li Shimin consulted from the Literature Museum.
Although I am hated by Confucianism, as a prince, I must be illiterate.
Yan Qinli was good at exegesis, so he arranged for him to be his own exclusive teacher.
Yan Qinli originally thought that Li Tai was a naughty person because of Kong Yingda's reasons, but when she became Li Tai, she found that Li Tai was diligent and studious, and was extremely smart.
Unfortunately, I made a living in the Literature Museum. In terms of official positions, I was just a master of the eighth-rank work. It is probably impossible to overturn Kong Yingda's evaluation.
Yan Qinli said, "The king is concise, thousands of characters, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites and other books have been taught. What do the king want to learn next?"
"Learn history!" Li Taisi said, "Using history as a lesson, you can know the rise and fall of things, and then you will focus on history!"
Maybe this is because of the benefits of being an exclusive teacher, and you can choose courses by yourself.
Compared to the fact that I studied with a group of people in the government primary school, I casually said that the Han Dynasty was destroyed by Confucianism, and I was inexplicably rejected by Confucianism. Thinking about it, I was also a tragedy.
"Okay! This is a wonderful thing!" Before Li Shimin arrived, his loud voice arrived first.
He strode forward and praised Yan Qinli first, "You have put a lot of effort into Qingque's progress in this way."
"I have seen a saint, but King Yue is talented and intelligent, but Qinli just does his duty." Yan Qinli quickly bent down and bowed.
Li Shimin helped Yan Qinli up, but did not let Yan Qinli deliver the whole ceremony, and then said in a slightly unquestionable tone,
"I have something to do when I look for Qingque, and I wonder if I will disturb my teacher's teaching."
"Qinli understands." Yan Qinli turned his head to Li Tai and said, "Today, the King of Yue will copy the Book of Rites and check it in class next time."
"No, sir." Li Tai replied respectfully and watched Yan Qinli pay homage.
When Yan Qinli left, Li Tai's eyes returned to Li Shimin and asked, "Aye, why do you have time to see Qingque today?"
"You asked him to hand over Yu Zhining's memorial?" Li Shimin said straight to the point.
As Li Shimin spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Tai's head hard, making Li Tai feel like he was being rubbed with a dog's head angrily.
Well, I am that dog.
"Let go!" Li Tai looked depressed and patted Li Shimin's hand off.
I really don’t know why, but Li Shimin developed the bad habit of rubbing his head.
However, Li Tai replied sincerely, "I am a literary man, so I let Yu Changshi write it and send it to him!"
"Who asked you to do this? You are the prince and are qualified to report independently!" Li Shimin's face turned right and he said with a look back.
"But this matter is official?" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and asked with a blink of an eye.
"If it is a private matter, it will naturally be submitted in the name of a prince, but this is a public matter, so it will naturally be submitted to the Secretariat of the Shangshu."
"The public and private matters are clearly done well..." Li Shimin was silent for a moment and asked, "Who taught you how to control locusts?"
"I studied it myself." Li Tai patted his chest and said to Li Shimin confidently: "Aye, I believe me right!"
"Touch!" Li Tai's forehead was buckled, and Li Shimin said seriously: "To be honest, who taught you!"
Li Tai held his head, his forehead was slightly red, and he said unyieldingly: "No one taught me! Aye, wait, I'll get something!"
Before Li Shimin could react when he heard Li Tai's words, Li Tai had already asked Bai He to get a booklet.
Li Tai said this and handed the booklet to Li Shimin, saying, "I studied locusts before I left the palace, but I was caught by my mother. But I was very happy and I had a lesson. It was my habit of locusts.
Observation.”
Li Shimin took the booklet from Li Tai with skepticism, which mostly included observation diaries on locust habits, from weather, vitality, food, and even mating later.
Li Shimin read this diary and carefully recorded the days. The crooked pages were written with locust habits, but he felt strange horizontally and vertically. After looking carefully for a while, he realized that the whole book was written.
Thinking about "impaired work"!
The more Li Shimin looked at him, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but say angrily, "Qingque, you have started writing this diary since you were studying Thousand Characters in elementary school!
Such incompetence in doing his job makes Kong Yingda faint. No wonder he actually spoke nonsense that the Han Dynasty was destroyed by Confucianism in those days!"
When Li Tai heard this, he complained in his heart, Li Shimin's focus was wrong!
Li Tai quickly raised his hands, blocked Li Shimin's snapping fingers, and said, "Aye, I have really studied locusts.
The Confucian scholars said that the appearance of locusts is because of Aye’s virtue and behavior, and they all listen to Dong Zhongshu’s nonsense.
As long as you have studied locusts, you will naturally know where they grow. If you want to eradicate them, it will naturally not be difficult!"
Li Tai closed his eyes for a while, but he didn't feel his fingers falling on his head. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's hand did not fall, but said with a little confusion, "Can you really solve the locust plague?"
"The locust can't be solved!" Li Tai shook his head and said. After hearing this, Li Shimin just wanted to beat Li Tai, but Li Tai said quickly,
"The locusts are poisonous, I really can't solve them.
However, the lifespan of locusts is limited, usually only one season. If controlled well this season, it can basically curb the expansion trend of locusts, at least the locust plague will not expand."
"From tomorrow, I will go to the Sinongfu to report to Dou Jing. I should give my opinions, but Dou Jing is the main focus!"
Li Shimin picked up the diary, patted Li Tai on the head, and said, "I took this locust notes!"
"Wait Aye!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin's generous attitude and hurriedly said, "Aye, can you give me some money!"
"You lack food and clothing?" Li Shimin frowned.
Li Tai said calmly: "This is not short, but I need money to raise ducks and geese, which are useful for controlling locusts!"
"Didn't you say that the locusts are poisonous? Do you still want to use these ducks to eat locusts?" Li Shimin immediately reacted.
"The locusts are poisonous, but as long as they have not yet flown, they are good food for poultry. Give me some money to raise chickens and ducks. When the time comes, we will get the chickens and ducks. "Li Tailiuo encouraged him with some instigation.
"I'm seven and you three?" Li Shimin smiled jokingly when he heard Li Tai's attitude.
"Okay! Aye, this is what you said yourself, you are seven and I am three, this is our royal family, don't refuse to admit it!"
Li Tai agreed decisively.
Just kidding, the emperor only needs seven layers of profits to do business with you. How big is this?
Li Shimin saw Li Tai's words decisively, but he was a little amused and cried, and understood that he had been involved in Li Tai's trap.
"Tomorrow I will report to Dou Jing. If I know you are doing something wrong from Dou Jing, I will take away all my money and people!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, but he didn't think Li Tai could make anything.
"Okay!" Li Tai agreed decisively and smiled at Li Shimin.
"In addition, Yan Qinli is following you. If he feels that you are free, he will continue to teach you how to read and read. Your homework cannot be stopped!" Li Shimin seemed to think of something and instructed Li Tai.
"I understand." Li Tai pulled his face a little, and it seemed that the more than 5,000 words in the Book of Rites could not be escaped.
Li Shimin held the locust diary in his hand, but did not go to the Secretariat, but returned to the East Palace to find Empress Changsun.
When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming, she wondered, "Why did the saint come today at this time?"
"It's not about Qing Bi!" Li Shimin took out the locust notes and said, "Guanyin Maid, come and take a look!"
Empress Changsun took the diary from Li Shimin, her face changed, and she also flipped it over and asked the people on both sides to retreat first. Empress Changsun said:
"Qingque has been a child who likes to observe farming and is good at calculating things. Although observing locusts is a bit unreasonable, it is not hindered by national affairs. Why should the saints blame him? After all, Qingque is only eight years old now."
"..." Li Shimin came to his senses slightly when he heard this, raised his head to look at Empress Changsun and said, "You know this."
Empress Changsun put the diary in her hand on the table, looked directly at Li Shimin with clear eyes and said calmly:
"Since Qingque was literate, he had the habit of writing, so I also knew something about his thoughts.
In the first year of Zhenguan, you kept saying that farming is the basis, so he listened to it. From the beginning of literacy, he was determined to farm.
He felt that as a royal family, he should eat what the people in the world eat and what the people in the world wear, and truly become a farm-based royal family."
"Why didn't you say these things earlier?" Li Shimin was excited and happy when he heard Empress Changsun's words.
Li Shimin walked around a few times. I can't believe that Qingque is so promising?
"How can a child's words be believed? Of course, it is necessary to see what he sees and does in order to see his character!"
Queen Changsun paused and suddenly whispered: "If Qingque knew about my peeking at his diary, how could she be a human being!"
"No wonder you don't forbid him from doing his job!" Li Shimin murmured thoughtfully, "Do you think Qingque still writes a diary?"
"He has had this habit since he learned calligraphy. How could he have disappeared after leaving the mansion?"
Empress Changsun shook her head and said,
"However, now he has opened a house. Even if he has written the diary, it doesn't look like he was in the study when he was in the East Palace, and now he can't see it."
"Well..." Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, looked at Empress Changsun and said, "Qingque originally said that he was good at removing locusts. I still don't believe it, but if Qingque is really aspiring to farm, I plan to let him follow him.
Dou Jing studied.”
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Shimin's words and said, "Dou Sinong was the one who was the one who had been dealing with military farming since Jinyang started his army. She was my royal family. She had influenced Qingque,
I think Qingque will definitely be able to take the right path!"
To be honest, both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are optimistic about Li Tai's choice to be determined to farm.
Because Li Shimin was relied on the Xuanwu Sect Incident, this made Li Shimin very worried that his descendants would follow suit and have such a tragedy.
Now, Li Chengqian is made the crown prince, with a strong character and a deep filial piety. Li Tai is determined to farm, has lofty ambitions and is down-to-earth.
It can be said that both sons are quite satisfied with each other.
Especially Li Tai, after all, since ancient times, he has only heard of those who lead troops to rebel, but he has never heard of those who rebel from the agricultural officials.
If the two of them can continue to fall in love with each other, they will have nothing to ask for.
In this regard, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have the same thoughts.
They don't want their sons to fight for Li Shimin's seat in the future.
Now that Li Tai's second son is not making trouble, what reason does Li Shimin's other sons have to make trouble?
When they thought of this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they should take care of Li Tai more.
Li Shimin came to find Empress Changsun to know whether Li Tai really studied locusts or fooled himself.
But with Empress Changsun as a witness, it at least proves that Li Tai is really committed to agriculture.
For Li Shimin, this is enough. As long as Li Tai is determined to farm, what does it matter as a father?
After all, this country is based on agriculture, and I don’t ask Li Taizhen to make any contributions. As long as Li Tai can work hard to farm for the rest of his life, it is enough to be the Prince of Xiaoyao.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin kept warm with Empress Changsun for a while, and then issued an order to Dou Jing, asking him to take Li Tai with him.
Neither the Secretariat nor the Menxia Provincial Department had any objection to Li Shimin's appointment.
Especially when this decree fell into the eyes of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they knew Li Shimin's determination to let Li Tai take the path of a minister and let Li Chengqian be the crown prince crown prince.
This is naturally a great thing for the three of them.
Maintaining the orderly inheritance of the feudal system is in itself orthodox for most normal officials.
Not to mention, if the Xuanwu Sect incident really happened, as experienced people, it would be like a large-scale reshuffle again. As long as a normal person does not want to experience it again.
After all, no matter how strong a gambler is, he cannot guarantee that he will win every time. What's more, as long as he loses once, he will lose his entire clan, so it would be better to let Li Tai farm.
Then, under the efficient operation of bureaucracy, this government order was delivered to Dou Jing, who was confused on the same day.
"King of Yue..." Dou Jing felt sunny and sunny, and suddenly a hot potato hit his hand.
