His father was the prince of the empire, so Li Xiang has attracted the attention of the world since he was born. Unfortunately, because Li Chengqian's position as prince was never stable, Li Xiang not only failed to get the love that should have belonged to him, but was also targeted...
Growing up, almost every time he played with his uncle's brothers, he would always encounter all kinds of sarcastic comments, sarcasm, or provocations. The brothers envied his status.
But they will never respect him, but try their best to embarrass him, as if trampling on him severely, in order to make them feel happy.
Li Xiang is young and thin, but he is not as cowardly as his father. He often resists bullying, but is beaten repeatedly...
What made him feel most aggrieved was that every time he lost a fight and was beaten, he had to face his father's scolding after returning to the palace. His father did not ask about the reason at all, but just spoke harshly and told him to be calm, humble and courteous.
…
Whenever this happens, Li Xiang becomes very unhappy.
He was young and could not understand the pressure his father faced. He walked on thin ice every day with fear, fearing that when he woke up, His Majesty Li Er would depose him as the crown prince with an edict. He just wondered why his brothers were being beaten when they were fighting outside.
If you are insulted, your uncles and elders will aggressively come to your door to demand justice?
It was only today that he finally realized the joy of having someone avenge him after being bullied!
Don't you dare to break my nose? Look, Fang Shaobao directly sent troops to break your legs!
Now in his mind, he is not only grateful to Fang Jun, but also full of admiration for him.
This is what a father should be like. Since his father refuses to come forward to seek justice for himself, isn't there still Fang Shaobao?
He was still young and did not understand the concept of "loyal ministers and righteous men", let alone the fierceness of government affairs. He simply thought that the reason why Fang Jun broke the legs of those Guanlong disciples was to vent his anger and seek justice for him. Rumu
My feelings were already overwhelming, so I blurted out that I was just waiting for the words to become a disciple...
…
Li Chengqian and his wife's faces were almost turning dark. What's going on here?
Just because you lost a fight and Fang Jun helped you vent your anger, you want to become your teacher?
Crown Princess Su gently pulled Li Xiang and scolded: "Xiang'er, don't be rude!"
Li Xiang was obviously in awe of his mother. After being scolded, his little face wrinkled up in grievance, he pursed his lips and reluctantly said "Oh", lowered his head and stood aside.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His son looked delicate, but in fact he had a very stubborn temper. He was not as gentle as himself, but more like his father who was tough and persistent. Once he was determined on something, it was difficult to change his mind.
He would even contradict his father from time to time, which gave him quite a headache.
He was really afraid that this child would have a stubborn temper and insist on becoming Fang Jun's teacher. He couldn't say no to him...
This is not to say that Fang Jun is not good. After all, he is a world-famous "master of poetry". His good calligraphy is enough to make him a master. Compared with those famous scholars who have been famous for many years, he is no less generous. Regardless of his status and knowledge, he can become Li Xiang's teacher.
.
But although this man's nickname of "Bangchui" was mostly "managed" by himself, and his nature is not so arrogant, domineering, and unscrupulous, after all, he is also the leading dandy in Chang'an City, and his arrogant and arrogant temperament is unstoppable.
What has changed is that if his son becomes his teacher, can he still learn well?
If he has ascended the throne as emperor, then it would not be a bad idea to ask Fang Jun to become the "Prince and Tutor". However, now is the time when he needs to be calm and steady the most. Once Li Xiang learns from Fang Jun to have a strong temper and be honest in everything, he will provoke trouble everywhere.
If you refuse to settle down, you will die...
Also afraid that Fang Jun would be alienated, Li Chengqian explained: "Xiang'er is stubborn and unpredictable. Now that you, Erlang, have the important responsibilities of the academy and are in charge of the Ministry of War's preparations for the logistics of the Eastern Expedition, I'm afraid you won't have that much time to teach him.
However, Erlang is known for his quick learning and literary reputation. From now on, Xiang'er will definitely be your disciple, and I ask you to teach him more and help him become a talented person."
Fang Jun didn't think much about it. How could he be Li Xiang's teacher?
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t.
He himself had read several collections of Confucian classics and history and knew clearly that he might not be able to compare with an ordinary student. Those famous poems were all "borrowed", so how could he possibly teach Li Xiang?
It would be okay if you were practicing martial arts...
He hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious, please don't mention this matter again. It's not that I don't want to teach the prince, it's because I have so little talent and knowledge that I can't handle the big task. There are countless scholars in the court, so I should choose a man with both good character and academics for the prince."
If you become an official, you will study hard under your tutelage, and it will be easy to achieve success in the future."
Li Xiang curled his lips and interjected: "What's so good about those old scholars? The emperor's grandfather often said that they were obscurant in their studies. They talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and stuck to the rules when things happened. They were just some rotten scholars. They were just trying to gain fame, but they were unlikely to become great people."
Li Chengqian's expression changed, and he shouted sternly: "Shut up! How dare you spread rumors and slander as a young child? Go back to your room immediately and face the wall for three days. You will not be allowed to go out! If you don't figure out where you went wrong, you will die."
Stay in the palace and don't go anywhere!"
Li Xiang's face turned pale with fright. He had never seen his father, who had always been kind and gentle, speak so harshly. The child didn't know what to say or not. He was so frightened that he took a step aside and leaned close to his mother, reaching out to grab his mother's skirt.
, the eyes were already filled with tears.
Fang Jun quickly tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty is young, and his childlike remarks are just a slip of the tongue. Why should you be so angry? Besides, your Majesty is talented, lively and cute, and has your Majesty's legacy. You should always be more encouraged."
"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "Being in an emperor's family, who cares whether you are a child or the result of the teachings of your fathers? These words are just for talking here, but once they are spread, what kind of consequences will it cause?
Don’t you know the wind and waves, Erlang?”
He was not born cautious and submissive. In fact, the experience of being a prince for so many years made him frightened and frightened all the time. He was walking on thin ice and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Before this, the nobles of Guanlong, as representatives of the military, had always been dissatisfied with him as the crown prince, and had repeatedly stirred up troubles in an attempt to depose him. The people who surrounded him with strong support were all the civil servants in the court who did not hold real power, and these
Everyone is a disciple of Confucianism.
Now that Li Xiang, as the crown prince, said "corrupt Confucianism", what did the civil servants who were attached to the East Palace think?
If these people become discouraged, could it be that Li Chengqian just relies on Fang Jun?
The most important thing is that when the situation was dangerous and could be catastrophic anytime and anywhere, those civil servants came one after another to surround him with full support. Although these people had no real power and their voices were not loud, in the end it was a friendship of sharing weal and woe and going through difficulties together. Now there is
Because Fang Jun, who held military power, firmly supported him, he abandoned the original civil servants and looked down upon them?
Then Li Chengqian's reputation has completely fallen into the dust. He has become a model of ungratefulness and will surely be reviled by the world...
How can he afford it?
Fang Jun remained silent and said nothing more.
But I don't think so in my heart. How can a child have any knowledge? The so-called words of "fishing for fame" and "corrupt Confucianism" must have been talked about by you and His Majesty Li Er in private. As a result, the child listened to it, but then he insisted on relying on it.
On the child’s head…
Crown Princess Su took Li Xiang out, who was extremely wronged but did not dare to cry and could only whimper. Li Chengqian drove away all the maids who had stayed to serve. The two sat at the table to eat and talk. Fang Jun
Being responsible for pouring wine is quite relaxing and comfortable.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Chengqian sighed: "Erlang, don't blame Gu for being cautious and making a fuss. It's true that he has walked through these years cautiously. Even though it seems bright now, he doesn't dare to slack off at all. Unlike several brothers, Gu Gu has
Whether they are green birds or even child slaves, even if they fail in the fight for the heirloom, they can turn into a peaceful prince. Wealth and glory are also indispensable. The orphan will never touch a hair of them. How can brotherhood be power?
Is wealth comparable to that? However, if Gu is deposed one day, he will no longer be a prince, even a commoner. Even if the brothers don't want to kill Gu, who can tolerate someone who has been infinitely close to that position and has the support of countless people?
The prince lives in this world? So he cannot retreat even if he takes a single step. If he retreats, he will be on the precipice of an eternal disaster. Not only will he die, but all his family members will also be slaughtered..."
