When Li Ke thought of the old men in the East Palace who were so old that they were shaking when they walked, he was trembling in the cold wind while humming and chirping.
Such a scene made Li Ke burst into laughter. "Brother Chu Bi, can you please stop making me laugh? This is a very serious matter."
"It is indeed inappropriate to use those Dong Palace officials to handle this matter."
"This is natural. I have not only considered the subordinate officials of the East Palace, but also the many eunuchs in the East Palace. But the voices of those eunuchs, huh..."
"I understand, understand, I understand this little brother." Li Ke thought of the hundreds of eunuchs holding their throats and holding their buttocks while reciting the "Three Character Classic" in a high-pitched voice.
That scene was really eye-catching, and my head quickly moved up and down wildly to show that I understood Brother Chu Bi's difficulties.
Besides, if those ministers and servants who were scholars knew that this was actually done here, they might be furious.
After all, eunuchs were originally incomplete men. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been endless incidents of eunuchs causing chaos in government.
The civil and military officials of any dynasty are very wary of such things. If these guys are really allowed to replace the officials of the East Palace to recite the "Three Character Classic", it will be detrimental to the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"But it is actually not appropriate to just let those warriors from the East Palace to read the Three Character Classic."
After hearing Li Ke's analysis, Cheng Chubi could only nod helplessly. "Of course I know this, but I can't think of any more tricks here."
Hearing this, Li Ke rolled his eyes a few times and couldn't help but laugh evilly.
Hearing that sinister and scary smile, Cheng Chubi suddenly became unhappy.
"My dear brother, when you speak, please speak politely. If you smile like that and act recklessly, this is your home, not a pavilion."
Li Ke heard Brother Chu Bi's malicious complaints, and his whole body was about to burst.
With a dark face, he quickly dismissed the servants waiting in the front hall and pointed angrily at the unscrupulous Cheng Sanlang.
"Brother Chu Bi, can you save some face for me?"
"Chengchengcheng, I'll pay attention next time, but what did you mean by smiling like that just now? Please explain it clearly."
"Of course I have a solution." As the biological son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was called Yingguo Leiji, Li Ke was definitely full of bad ideas.
"It's actually very simple. Brother Chu Bi, you may not know that there are dozens of private schools in and around Chang'an City."
"In each private school, there are as many as a hundred or as few as a dozen students studying there."
"If I were my little brother, I would find a way to hook up with dozens of private schools... Well, I mean to hook up with them. Brother, please don't misunderstand me."
"Okay, you don't need to explain. I know your character better than you do. Go on," Cheng Chubi waved his hand impatiently and urged.
"..." Li Ke's little heart suddenly froze. He always felt that Brother Chu Bi's words were very problematic, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"Well, little brother, I will ask people to contact those private schools and ask those private schools to gather their disciples to recite the "Three Character Sutra".
I am absolutely sure, little brother, that gathering one or two thousand schoolchildren and Confucian scholars will not be a big problem.
When the time comes, let those schoolchildren and Confucian scholars go along with the car and recite it loudly. Do you think that if they come to recite this thing, it will be more popular with the people of Chang'an."
Seeing Li Ke with a cunning look on his face, Cheng Chubi had to admit that this guy was not a good guy, but this trick was definitely very clever.
Cheng Chubi clapped his hands and echoed, "That's right, they are all scholars. Letting scholars recite the Three Character Classic is equivalent to blocking the mouths of some people with ulterior motives."
"But there is a question, how do you convince them, just with your mouth?"
"How can this be possible by just talking? The emperor still has hungry soldiers." Li Ke rolled his eyes and immediately took action.
"It's not impossible. Otherwise, we can use the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, and the Analects of Confucius as bait, and we don't have to worry about them not agreeing."
"In those private schools, if one or two out of ten Mengtong and students studying there own books, that would be considered a great thing."
"We only want a private school and give them a few sets, I can guarantee it, little brother.
Not to mention asking them to recite the Three Character Classic while walking, you can ask them to sing Goulan songs and they will be happy too."
Seeing Li Ke's proud look, Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth.
As expected of an unorthodox prince, his ideas were unorthodox, but this really opened up a new way of thinking.
Indeed, those Meng children and students were mixed in, and they recited it together with the leading soldiers of the East Palace.
Even those ministers with ulterior motives, even if they want to make a fuss, they can only stare.
The two squatted in the hall, drinking tremella soup and carefully discussing various details before finally finalizing it.
Li Ke obligingly patted his chest and said, "Brother Chu Bi, you don't have to worry about this. Just leave it to my younger brother."
Li Ke's words immediately made Cheng Chubi a little suspicious. He looked at this crooked prince who suddenly became diligent, and always felt that there must be something fishy here.
"I said, dear brother, how can you, a person who is busy day and night, suddenly be so courageous to do things? This is so unlike your style."
"Brother Chu Bi, I can't help it, but when dealing with those private schools, I think it's better for me to handle it."
"After all, hey hey...Brother Chu Bi, you are a disciple of Wu Xun after all. You are a steward in the mansion, and I'm afraid you haven't had many interactions with scholars."
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi could only be speechless. It was true that even his three naughty brothers were not self-taught at first.
I also invited a gentleman, but no gentleman could stand up to these three naughty and naughty children.
The important thing is that among the three naughty children, there is a father who is even more notorious. It was difficult to find a teacher, but he found an excuse to leave after working for only a few days.
After that, it took a long time to find a teacher to teach me. In the end, I had to have tutors, um, adults in the family take turns teaching me.
Cheng Chubi also felt that if the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, or Uncle Ping, Uncle Ji, and others were allowed to discuss things with those gentle scholars.
I'm afraid that the other party's gibbering may easily arouse the Cheng family's bad feelings toward the scholar, leading to conflicts.
"Then since you said so, I will leave this matter entirely to you, my dear brother."
"Brother Chu Bi, don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully." Li Ke said confidently.
After all, his identity lies there, he is both a prince and a scholar.
If the son of the notorious Cheng Da bully were allowed to take care of this matter, well... I'm afraid that within two days, the entire private school in Chang'an would be in a state of chaos.
In all likelihood, the memorial to impeach Cheng Sanlang for interfering with many private schools in Chang'an, which is an insult to elegance, will definitely fly into the Manna Palace like snowflakes.
This would be very disadvantageous for Cheng Chubi, who wanted to keep a low profile and avoid Uncle Li's debt collection period.
Not long after Cheng Chubi left Prince Wu's Mansion, a palace guard rushed over and asked the servants of Prince Wu's Mansion, only to find out that Cheng Sanlang had already left the mansion.
