Li Chengqian is not a cold and unfeeling person. Previously, he was just under too much pressure and had a sense of urgency every day, so his actions were chaotic and absurd. Now that he sees clearly how he wants to go, how can he not know who is going on?
If you are really good to yourself, who will lead you astray?
Kong Yingda laughed, feeling relieved.
I don’t know when, the Crown Prince suddenly changed his past impetuous and low-key style, and became more and more calm and low-key in dealing with things. It seems that he doesn’t care about anything, but in fact it is the best way to deal with it. He is already the Crown Prince, and he does not know how to deal with it at all.
There is no need to fight for anything, as long as he can calm down and ignore the provocations and temptations of those with ulterior motives, no one can do anything to him.
It is a taboo for the royal family to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. If it were not for unforgivable misdeeds, how could His Majesty be so wise and powerful as to shake the foundation of the empire and destroy the Great Wall with his own hands?
When His Majesty entrusts Li Chengqian with an important task, he only needs to complete the task, and does not need to care whether it is completed shockingly or flawlessly. As long as it can be completed safely, that's all.
Therefore, Kong Yingda was very satisfied with Li Chengqian in his current state.
As a prince, if he shines everywhere, he will be slandered...
Where do you want to put His Majesty?
"When the storm is coming, Your Highness should be as steady as a rock, not impatient or impatient. Do whatever His Majesty asks you to do. You must not do anything Your Majesty does not ask you to do, even if it is of great benefit.
It should be noted that if you do too much, you will make many mistakes, but if you don’t do it, you will be good..."
Even though he was very satisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince's recent performance, Kong Yingda still couldn't help but give him some advice. After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's the old minister who is nagging. Your Highness has already understood how to deal with it, but the old minister is always nagging and noisy.
, annoying..."
"Teacher!" Li Chengqian knelt down on the couch, leaned forward, stretched out his hand, gently pressed Kong Yingda's hand, and said emotionally: "In the past, I failed to live up to the kindness of all the teachers, and regarded their good words as my own.
Turning a deaf ear and dismissing it almost led to disaster! But I never thought that all the teachers were already successful and famous. They only had to follow the trend to maintain their high positions and have a prosperous family. Why bother to work so hard and thankless here?
?In the final analysis, is it not for Gu to sit firmly in the position of the kings and maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty? Now, Gu has awakened and knows the love and care of all the teachers, but please rest assured that from now on, Gu will be the leader of all the teachers.
Keep the teacher's words in mind and never abandon them in this life!"
Kong Yingda was so moved that she shed tears. She grabbed Li Chengqian's hand tremblingly, feeling greatly relieved.
For a long time, whether it was Kong Yingda, or Yu Zhining, Fang Xuanling and other imperial masters, why would they rather take the risk of offending the crown prince and constantly comfort and admonish them, even if His Highness the crown prince would kill them?
Considered a enemy?
For one thing, they couldn't bear the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince to drift away on his way to becoming the crown prince.
Ever since he fell off a horse and injured his foot, the temperament of this gentle and kind-hearted Crown Prince has changed drastically. Everyone can understand that as a crown prince, he will inherit the great treasure and become emperor in the future, but he will definitely be disliked by His Majesty if he has a disability.
At the same time, the King of Wei took advantage of the situation and became aggressive. His Highness the Crown Prince, whose temperament was uncertain, was anxious and anxious. He felt a severe inferiority complex and worried about the future, so that he gave up on himself and even more disappointed His Majesty.
Secondly, these loyal ministers could not bear to see the tragedy of "abolition of elders and creation of young ones" repeated in the Tang Dynasty.
When His Majesty the Xuanwu Sect killed brothers and killed brothers, he had planted a sinful seed for the future of the Tang Dynasty. If he now "abolishes the elders and establishes the younger ones", wouldn't he tell the future descendants of the Li and Tang royal family that the position of crown prince is not certain?
It is a gift from heaven, but can it be obtained through various means?
Once this happens, every change of imperial power in the future will inevitably be accompanied by intrigues and bloodshed!
No matter how powerful the empire is, it can't help but struggle like this...
It's just a pity that in the past, the prince lost all his confidence and gave up on himself. No matter how hard they tried to persuade him, the old ministers were finally disheartened.
The already despairing heart suddenly took a turn for the worse. Wouldn’t His Highness the Crown Prince’s transformation make Kong Yingda and others ecstatic?
One is the prodigal son who has regained his confidence, and the other is that his hard work has finally paid off. The old man and the young man looked at each other and smiled, they really liked each other, and they talked softly about the current stormy situation in the DPRK.
Although Kong Yingda was old, he was not dazzled. When he was chatting with His Highness the Crown Prince, he noticed that his followers were walking around outside the house from time to time, so he found a gap in the conversation, called him in, frowned and scolded:
"I was talking to His Highness. Why are you so restless? How do you behave?"
The guard smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't know the rules. It's just that the head of the family has previously ordered that if the Marquis of Xinxiang sends people to come, he must be informed. Now, the Marquis of Xinxiang has sent people here three times, saying that there are three shortages.
One, the head of the family is invited to attend the meeting immediately..."
"Oops!" Kong Yingda slapped his forehead, feeling very annoyed. He had a heart-to-heart talk with His Highness the Crown Prince, detailing his views on the court situation. His Highness the Crown Prince also humbly asked for advice without showing the slightest hint of impatience. This was unprecedented.
I was happy for a moment, but I forgot about the agreement...
Looking out the window, it was already close to the hour. He stood up hurriedly, cupped his hands to Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have an appointment with you, so I don't dare to disturb Your Highness's rest. I will explain to Your Highness the understanding of the government's governance when the lecture is held."
Farewell."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Chengqian was greatly surprised. As a great scholar of the time, Kong Yingda was very particular about being calm and gentle as jade. How had he ever seen him in such a hurry?
"The teacher has an appointment with Fang Erlang?"
"Ah, that's right. Once people get older, they become confused and have a bad memory. The agreement was made at the beginning of the hour, and now it's almost noon. I'm afraid those few people won't let go of someone. It's bitter.
It’s bitter…”
Kong Yingda hurriedly put on his shoes, mumbling in annoyance, not knowing what to say.
When Li Chengqian saw this, he became more and more curious and asked, "I wonder what the teacher agreed with that roommate?"
"This..." Kong Yingda muttered, but refused to explain clearly.
Li Chengqian was amazed!
Kong Yingda, who has always been steady and dignified and a good teacher, would he be so hesitant? If Li Chengqian hadn't known that this teacher was rigorous by nature, and that although Fang Jun was fooling around, he was not a womanizer, he would have almost thought that these two people
We agreed to go to Pingkangfang to drink flower wine...
It was rare to see Kong Yingda with such an expression, and Li Chengqian became curious: "It's okay to be alone. How about going to visit the second room with the teacher?"
"This..." Kong Yingda hesitated for a while, not knowing how to refuse.
Li Chengqian was surprised and said: "Teacher, you are not really going to look for flowers and willows with the second roommate, are you?"
Although I don’t believe that Kong Yingda would do such a thing, the expression on this Confucian scholar, who has always been dignified and steady, is really suspicious...
Kong Yingda's face turned red and he said angrily: "Why does Your Highness have such dirty thoughts? Is this the kind of person who doesn't know how to be ashamed?"
Li Chengqian quickly apologized, but the look he looked at Kong Yingda was still full of suspicion.
That's right, although this old man is strong and healthy, he is over seventy after all. Even if he is given a beautiful girl, I am afraid he will be greedy and impatient, but he will not be able to pick up the gun or put it into battle...
Kong Yingda couldn't help it. He knew that if he didn't explain clearly today, he was afraid that he would be criticized by His Highness, so he had to stamp his feet and grunted: "Your Highness, just follow me!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Chengqian quickly put on his shoes and followed closely...
*****
There was only one snowfall this winter, and the weather was not as cold as in previous years.
Sitting in the carriage, Kong Yingda raised the curtain, looked at the pedestrians walking on the street, and sighed: "There is a lot of snow in winter, which can easily cause disasters. How many people froze to death in the heavy snow last year, and how many homes were destroyed? Fortunately,
Fang Jun took in thousands of victims and greatly relieved the pressure on the court's disaster relief subsidies. Otherwise, countless people would die from freezing and starvation. However, there was less snow, and he was afraid of a spring drought and farming would be difficult. This was really a worry.
It’s a time when things don’t go as planned…”
"That's not necessarily the case. Last year's snowstorm brought heavy snowfalls one after another, but wasn't there still a severe drought in spring, with no rain falling for several months? If it weren't for the overturning of the water tanker that Fang Jun had built at the Ministry of Works, etc.
I am afraid that the water conservancy equipment will delay spring plowing, not to mention the rain praying ceremony on Lishan Mountain, which saved many people in Guanzhong."
When Li Chengqian said this, he couldn't help but look at Kong Yingda, and both could see the shock in the other's eyes.
In the past year, the most famous dandy in Chang'an City has done many great things one after another. Each of them has inadvertently benefited many people in the Tang Dynasty?
There was silence in the car for a moment.
The carriage swayed and went straight to the Rites Yamen. As soon as they entered the gate, they heard a shout from the door of the duty room: "Lao Kong is here, hurry up and start the battle!"
