Liang Jianfang left. This general gave people a very steady and steady feeling. Zhang Yang had a pretty good impression of him.
Liang Jianfang was also a brave general in history, but his military exploits are neither high nor high now, but he is still outstanding among many generals.
In terms of outstanding military exploits, there are so many generals in the court, including Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Daliang...
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were so many powerful generals, not to mention that there was also General Li Jing who made other barbarians dare not offend and pacified the Central Plains.
There were so many heroes in the world back then. The Tang Dynasty had many shining generals and legends.
People like Liang Jianfang could only be buried. Fortunately, Li Shimin began to train the next generation of military generals. With Yu Chigong's recommendation, Liang Jianfang finally found an opportunity.
Zhang Yang put his hands on his hands and looked at the direction he was leaving, silently.
The Crown Princess took her five-year-old son Li Xiang to Lishan first. Li Chengqian stood aside and said, "I heard that Lishan invited everyone in the clan to have a banquet yesterday?"
"Yes, an uncle from the clan came to visit the Supreme Emperor, so Lishan hosted a banquet."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I heard that those members of the clan spoke highly of Lishan."
"Really? I thought they would have a problem with Lishan."
"That's not true. It's just that people in the clan mostly praised Lishan's generosity. They said that they spent a whole day and night eating and drinking in Lishan. The owner of Lishan was not stingy at all. He even drank so much wine without a single complaint. If he comes back in the future,
Lishan, I plan to bring more family members."
The wind is very cold in winter, especially when standing at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
What? Are the people in the clan interested in Lishan and planning to come to Lishan to eat at the rich restaurants in the future?
That day and night they did not eat less, they ate more and drank more...
Zhang Yang took the prince to Lishan Mountain. He was a little puzzled and asked: "Actually, Liang Jianfang didn't come to Lishan Mountain either. He was ordered by His Majesty to send General Yin to the Western Regions and leave alone. Why bother to come here?"
?”
The stone steps going up the mountain were not wide, so Li Chengqian had to stay half a step behind and explained with a smile: "You, the county lord of Lishan, are often discussed among the army, especially the restructuring of Qianniu Guard by General Cheng and General Niu Jinda.
The effect is pretty good, so naturally many people want to see you."
"Moreover." Li Chengqian paused for a moment. He was a little tired from climbing the mountain. He took a breath and continued: "It was you, the Minister of Rites, who single-handedly arranged the war in Persia. How could he not see you when he wanted to help Persia?"
This statement is a bit like the meaning of not forgetting the man who dug the well. Zhang Yang thought that he had never been close to the generals, and he had to keep his distance from Su Dingfang in time.
Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Zhang Yang became more and more melancholy, as if he could see the emperor's knife already on his head.
Walking to the door of the house, Li Yue was talking quietly to the princess, both of them smiling.
Li Chengqian got married early, and his son with the Crown Princess is two years older than Xiao Qingqing.
Zhang Yang looked at the two children in front of him, this scene was very interesting.
Xiao Qingqing patted Xiong Da's neck, and then he twisted his fat body away and sat down in front of Li Xiang. She asked: "Why do you want me to call you cousin?"
Li Xiang shook his head numbly.
Then he looked Li Xiang up and down and asked: "Your father is a prince, so you must be very powerful."
Li Xiang shook his head again.
She asked again: "Then can you write?"
Li Xiang lowered his head slightly and felt something was wrong, so he shook his head vigorously.
In this way, pride appeared on Xiao Qingqing's face, and she asked loudly: "Let me ask you, when a family eats, each person has a rice bowl, two people use a vegetable bowl, and three people use a soup bowl. There are eleven bowls in total.
,How many people are eating in total?”
Li Xiang scratched his head and looked at his father, the current prince, for help.
Li Chengqian was also thinking about what he was asking.
In order to resolve the current embarrassment, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Your Highness, how are things going at Chongde Square recently? I was just about to ask."
Li Chengqian suddenly realized, and then he thought of his mother's explanation, and said again: "I have something to say to you."
After the two of them sat down, Li Chengqian talked about his original advice on the construction of the Daming Palace. He looked a little more ashamed and said with his tongue: "Fortunately, it was you and Yue'er who wrote to the East Palace and woke up the orphans."
.”
Zhang Yang explained with a smile: "I have lived in Lishan for a long time and am busy with the affairs of Taifu Temple. I rarely interfere with the affairs of the court. The construction of Daming Palace did not happen overnight. It is good and should be discouraged by His Highness the Prince.
.”
Thinking of the scene in the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian held his forehead and felt a little scared, "When Gu led the civil servants to advise him, I am scared to think about the look on my father's face at that time."
Anyone can give advice, but not the prince.
This does not mean that the prince cannot have wings in the court and have supportive people. The prince's ability is due to his ability.
But you can't be influenced by others, become a shield for others, and have a knife in your hand.
What's more, the father and son of the Tian family must be even more careful.
This prince is still too sincere, so many officials are admonishing him, but it means nothing to them.
But if the prince can stand up, these officials will use the prince to build momentum and coerce His Majesty into the court. That is the situation Li Shimin least wants to see.
Therefore, people should not be too naive. There are no good people in this court.
Zhang Yang even suspected that he was the only good person left in the Tang Dynasty.
The sky is clear today, and people's mood has improved a lot. It is not like the heavy snowfall and heavy dark clouds all over the sky a few days ago.
Li Chengqian said again: "The Queen Mother said that you were also the head of the East Palace at the beginning, and you were Gu's right-hand man. Although you have not been in the East Palace for a long time, I will rely on you a lot in the future."
Seeing that the prince was about to salute, Zhang Yang quickly supported him and said, "His Royal Highness, you must never say that."
"Gu Ye thought that if one or two people could remind him at the critical moment, Gu Ye would be willing to repent and listen to the teachings."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You were Gu's critical friend in the East Palace, and you will still be in the future."
Having said this, Zhang Yang glanced sideways at his daughter. It would have been better if he didn't look at her. However, the scene made him feel his scalp tightening.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xiang actually started to bring tea and water to Xiao Qingqing, and even brought her a chair and wiped the chair for her to sit down.
Looking away, Zhang Yang held his forehead in distress. This was the son of the prince and the grandson of Li Shimin.
Zhang Yang continued to pretend not to see this scene.
Li Chengqian added: "Actually, the Queen Mother also gave another instruction, saying that she hopes that your family can come to the palace on New Year's Eve this year."
"I'll consider it."
Seeing that Zhang Yang did not agree directly, Li Chengqian could not say any more.
After the princess finished talking to Li Yue, Li Chengqian was ready to leave.
The couple bid farewell to the prince's family and stood there for a long time until they came down the mountain. Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The queen asked us to spend New Year's Eve in the palace."
"There are still many things to do at home."
"Taifu Temple also needs to prepare for farming in the coming year."
The couple quickly reached a tacit understanding, and after Li Chengqian's family left, Xiao Qingqing sensiblely helped clear away the tea bowls and chairs at home.
She was still very young and could only drag the chair with difficulty.
"Pack up and go listen to Master's lecture." Li Yue ordered.
"My daughter doesn't want to listen to Master's lectures." Xiao Qingqing said stubbornly.
"You don't have to listen to Master's lectures. You can go to Mr. Ouyang Xun for an extra hour every day to practice calligraphy."
As soon as the words passed through his mind, Xiao Qingqing immediately said: "Then I'd better go and listen to Master's lecture."
Today the couple plans to visit the teacher and his wife together.
Zhang Yang changed his clothes and prepared some salted duck eggs and fine salt from home, and then Brown Tang led his daughter out.
Today, the couple went to visit the teacher together and did not let their daughter ride a bear. It seemed that they valued some etiquette.
The big bear just followed the little master.
When the villagers saw the couple, they all saluted. Although Li Yue rarely appeared in front of the villagers now, when they saw the bear, the villagers here understood it.
After the couple entered Zhang Gongjin's house, the villagers continued busy with what they were doing.
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "Little girl, are you here to listen to my lecture again?"
Xiao Qingqing said coyly: "Instead of writing with Mr. Ouyang, why not come and listen to Master's lectures."
The teacher's wife was really happy to see this lively and smart little girl.
Li Yue looked at the furnishings in the teacher's home to see what was missing.
The teacher's wife held her hand and said warmly: "There is no shortage of anything here, everything is very good. The village has made good arrangements for us, the old couple."
Even though his wife said this, Li Yue still looked around carefully.
Zhang Yang sat at the door of the teacher's house, comforting Xiong Da who was lying beside him. After his daughter sat down, today's class began.
Zhang Gongjin whispered: "Do you know what power is?"
Xiao Qingqing shook his head and said: "I don't understand."
The child's reaction was the same as before. She just didn't understand. She didn't hesitate when speaking like other children. Her personality was much more outgoing.
"Power is the court, and the court is the people's hearts."
After hearing this, Xiao Qingqing shook her head again.
Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and nodded, "Listen to me slowly. A rich man, an emperor, and a prime minister. The three of them gathered together and were sizing up a general in front of them. All three of them secretly ordered the general to
Killed the other two."
Xiao Qingqing frowned and said nothing.
"Listen carefully to the following words. The rich man, the emperor, and the prime minister all have no swords in their hands. Only the general has a sword in his hand. The one who kills the rich man and the prime minister is the emperor, and the one who kills the emperor and the rich man is the one who survives.
People, the one who survives is the prime minister."
Xiao Qingqing still frowned, as if a general facing three people had already appeared in his mind, and whispered: "Who should be killed?"
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "If you kill the emperor, you can get the throne, if you kill the prime minister, you can get thousands of disciples, if you kill the rich, you can get inexhaustible wealth, so think carefully about who to kill."
"Emperor!" She answered immediately.
Hearing this, seeing the master shaking his head again, Xiao Qingqing asked in confusion: "Can't you kill the emperor?"
Zhang Gongjin sighed: "You see, you have obeyed from this moment on. This is the wonderful use of power. Whether it is the emperor, the rich, or the prime minister, what the three of them represent is wealth, status, and power. Having this
The three things are just getting what you want. These three things are the benefits of power, not the essence of power."
Listening to the teacher's narration, Zhang Yang sat on the threshold, leaning his back against the soft and warm bear's back, stroking the bear's big head with one hand.
"Your father told me these words at the beginning."
Xiao Qingqing turned to look at her father and said, "That father never taught me this."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "The villagers of Lishan were able to unite because they believed that the Marquis of Lishan County could give them a good life, so they obeyed."
Xiao Qingqing whispered: "So is this power?"
"You can only have power by asking others to obey you, and the highest power can give them status, wealth, thousands of followers and influence..."
"Master, I still don't understand."
Xiao Qingqing said aggrievedly.
Of course she couldn't understand what he said to a three-year-old child. Now Zhang Yang could only hope that Li Xiang's childhood memories would not be so clear when he grew up and let Li Shimin's grandson serve tea and water to his daughter. This scene was hard to watch.
Too harmonious.
How will he manage this daughter in the future? Zhang Yang sighed melancholy again.
Zhang Gongjin asked again: "When you have wealth, is it a good thing if you share your food with others in disaster years?"
Xiao Qingqing nodded innocently, "Of course it's a good thing."
"No, you are a rich man. You are buying people's hearts by sharing your food with the victims. Those in power have the power to arrest you."
Xiao Qingqing twisted her face and scratched her head vigorously, becoming more and more confused.
Zhang Gongjin's voice was a little more hoarse when he spoke, "You have to know that you gave these victims food. In time, they will have armor and weapons, and then these people can become a military force to fight for you. In the eyes of those in power,
Your behavior of sharing food is dangerous."
"Do you think it is the right of the rich to distribute their food to the victims?"
Xiao Qingqing nodded heavily.
"Then you think it is the power of the person in power to arrest this rich man who has shared the food, right?"
Xiao Qingqing still shook her head, but she shook her head again.
This problem is very complex and contradictory.
Zhang Gongjin smiled, "Yes, we are back to the original question. What is power? Power is what people want. It can be lies. Lies can give you fame and status. It can also be wealth, and it can even be you.
Full of economics, but these are not power itself."
As if he had finished what he wanted to say, Zhang Gongjin let out a long breath, squinted his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun shining on his body, "Sometimes you have to think more, consider more, and it is right to think twice before you act."
Xiao Qingqing is digesting this very contradictory question.
Zhang Gongjin talked to her about some knowledge in Shangshu again, but she had already started to doze off in the next class.
How focused can a three-year-old child be?
"I won't live long, and I don't know how many times I can give you lectures in the future. There are some truths that you can't understand now, but you will understand later."
After the class, she was always confused when listening to her master's lectures. The knowledge and principles were very difficult to understand, not as simple as the farmer and the snake.
In her opinion, snakes can bite people.
Li Yue led her out of the yard and asked in a low voice: "You must remember what the master told you."
