Fang Jun hid in the farm for many days, and no one who came to visit him was seen.
Little did they know, an undercurrent was surging in Chang'an City...
For some unknown reason, the story that Li Chengqian was scolded by His Majesty Li Er in the Li Zheng Palace spread like wildfire. In a short period of time, everyone in Chang'an City knew about it. Gradually, it turned into a rumor that His Majesty wanted to depose the crown prince and replace him with the throne of Wei.
In the East Palace, Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda finished giving lectures to the prince and drank tea with the prince. They both had heavy faces and remained silent.
The reason why rumors are rumors is that they are fabricated and baseless.
But then again, as the saying goes, there is no wind without waves. How can it be that there is no reason for the wind to come out of nowhere?
It is precisely because Your Majesty has become increasingly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince in recent years and has become closer to the King of Wei, Li Tai, that there have been repeated rumors among the people in the DPRK that Your Majesty wants to depose the Crown Prince...
Zhang Xuansu put down the tea cup, glanced at Kong Yingda who was motionless, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what did you mean when you were scolded by His Majesty that day in the Li Zheng Palace?"
As early as the late Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xuan was known for his integrity.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande of Hebei Province captured Jingcheng. Zhang Xuansu was serving as the household cao of Jingcheng County at that time. He was imprisoned and was about to be killed. More than a thousand people in Jingcheng petitioned for his life, so Dou Jiande appointed him as the censor of the book and the minister of Huangmen. After Dou Jiande was pacified in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuansu became an official of the Tang Dynasty. Upon hearing his name, His Majesty Li Er specially summoned him to inquire about political affairs. He suggested that His Majesty Li Er learn from the experience of historical successes and failures, and was reused by Taizong.
Compared with Wei Zheng, who was forthright in admonishing, this man is no less heroic than Wei Zheng.
The most awesome time was when His Majesty Li Er issued an edict to repair the Luoyang Palace in preparation for the inspection tour. After hearing the news, Zhang Xuansu wrote a letter of admonishment. He said: "A Fangcheng, the Qin people dispersed; Zhang Huajiu, Chu people left; and Qianyang is over. Gong, the Sui people disintegrated."
After the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people were devastated and devastated. If the Luoyang Palace was built at this time and the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, it would be inferior to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty...
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he flew into a rage, but he had nothing to do with this man.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and recounted what happened that day in detail.
Before, Li Chengqian didn't have a good impression of the teachers assigned to him by his father. It is true that these are all great scholars in the world, and they are all very knowledgeable, but when it comes to dealing with people, they are really too much. …
Li Chengqian could only build a house, so Yu Zhining criticized him for being too extravagant; when he was having fun with eunuchs, Yu Zhining criticized him for being too luxurious, and even compared him to the Second Emperor of Qin...
How could Li Chengqian not be angry?
Mother, it is simply unreasonable to compare His Highness to a king who has subjugated his country!
In comparison, Kong Yingda is even more intense!
As soon as he felt that something was wrong with Li Chengqian, he would immediately rebuke him without caring about Li Chengqian's face!
Some people close to Li Chengqian once advised Kong Yingda, thinking that since the prince was old, he should not criticize and accuse him in front of his face all the time. At least he should save some face, otherwise he would be a king in the future. How could he convince the public? However, Kong Yingda remained the same, saying This is the duty of a certain person, and by doing this, a certain person "does not regret anything"...
And Li Gang before...
One can imagine how disgusted Li Chengqian was towards him.
As for Zhang Xuansu, he was admonishing him all the time. His words were so eager that he wanted Li Chengqian to listen to him in everything. If he didn't listen to him, he would be making mistakes and being stupid and incompetent. You can even imagine the consequences.
Speaking of which, Fang Xuanling, a gentle gentleman, treated Li Chengqian more kindly. Although he could criticize a few words, he was not as strong as the others, which was unacceptable...
But after being awakened by Fang Jun, Li Chengqian thought about it carefully and realized that although these teachers were a little stubborn and a little tough, they always had good words and every suggestion contained incomparable wisdom.
It's just that I always act rebelliously, never thinking about the reason behind it, I just blindly act against you. If you don't let me do it, I will do it. If you want me to do it, I won't do it...
What a childish idea!
Now that I think about it, Li Chengqian is always embarrassed.
In the end, who suffered the most from the confrontation? Not Zhang Xuansu, not Fang Xuanling, not Yu Zhining, and not even Kong Yingda!
It’s Li Chengqian himself!
These teachers have long been successful, and they are all great Confucian scholars who are famous all over the world. Even if Li Chengqian was deposed or even had his head chopped off, these teachers would still be safe! Perhaps, they would become the new princes immediately with a pat on the butt.
teacher...
Realizing how stupid he was in the past, Li Chengqian has naturally tried his best to make up for his mistakes recently. He is respectful to several teachers, studies at ease every day, and humbly asks for advice when encountering problems. This attitude is very different from the past, which surprised several great scholars.
, but also overjoyed.
These few are all true moral gentlemen. Seeing Li Chengqian go further and further on the road of seeking death, how can we not feel heartbroken and sigh with regret? Now that the prodigal son has turned around, he will naturally give his best and give his best.
Make plans for Li Chengqian!
Listening to Li Chengqian's eloquent account of what happened at the Zhengdian Palace that day, Zhang Xuansu furrowed his eyebrows, glanced at Kong Yingda who was motionless, and sighed helplessly: "Logically speaking, His Highness's handling method is not inappropriate.
But from a rational point of view, it is extremely inappropriate!"
Li Chengqian was a little confused and humbly asked for advice: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Xuansu was extremely satisfied with Li Chengqian's attitude.
"Your Majesty took the Shenji Camp away from Fang Jun and handed it over to Changsun Chong. When your Majesty handles affairs, ministers cannot judge the pros and cons. However, His Highness's proposal is to remove Chang Sun Chong from the post of Admiral of the Shenji Camp. This is not true.
Does this mean that His Majesty made a mistake in appointing the eldest son, Sun Chong? Considering His Majesty's face-conscious character, it is reasonable to be unhappy."
Li Chengqian suddenly understood and said angrily: "I didn't think so much at that time. I just thought that since Changsun Chong was humiliated by Fang Jun in front of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp, how would he be able to take charge of the Shenji Camp and convince the people in the future? Mo
It would be better to take the opportunity to remove him from the post of admiral than to remove him later. It would save Changsun Chong's face, but he didn't expect that he would actually hurt his father's face because of it. It's really stupid..."
Immediately he said dejectedly: "Father is becoming more and more disappointed with Gu Shi. He can't handle such a small matter well. No wonder Yi Chu has thoughts..."
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!" Kong Yingda, who had been keeping his eyelids drooped and silent as if he was staying out of the situation, warned him at this time.
Li Chengqian was also startled, knowing that he had made a mistake, he quickly kept silent.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling walked in with a commotion outside the palace and said urgently: "Your Highness, how stupid you are!"
Fang Xuanling has always given people the impression of being gentle and easy-going. He is neither impatient nor impatient at all times. When have you ever seen him lose his composure like this?
Li Chengqian was scolded and asked blankly: "Prime Minister, why are you scolding me?"
Fang Xuanling walked up to Li Chengqian in a few strides, pointed his finger at Li Chengqian in a very rude manner, and said angrily: "Scold you? Now the old minister wants to beat His Highness, does Your Highness know? Although His Majesty is dissatisfied with His Highness, but when the time comes,
So far, there has never been the slightest hint of Yi Chu, which shows that the prince in your heart is still His Highness! But now that His Highness has done such a stupid thing, isn't he digging his own grave?!"
This is a serious statement!
After all, Li Chengqian is also a dignified prince and the future king. Such unfavorable words are extremely inappropriate!
Li Chengqian was not annoyed, but confused.
What had he done to make Fang Xuanling so angry?
Zhang Xuansu was also surprised at how Fang Xuanling, who had always been calm and collected, could be so out of character? But he knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Fang Xuanling would never be like this!
"Xuanling, what's the matter? Let's sit down and discuss it. Why are you so upset?" Zhang Xuansu persuaded.
"Discuss?" Fang Xuanling stamped her foot fiercely: "Disaster is about to happen, what else is there to discuss!"
The three of them looked at each other, a little confused, wondering what happened to Fang Xuanling to be so irritable?
Kong Yingda frowned and said displeasedly: "Speak clearly, you are so confused that you don't even know what you are talking about!"
In other words, given Kong Yingda's age and status in the scholarly community, he could rely on his elders in front of Fang Xuanling and have a reputation as great as Zhang Xuansu's. He also had to be polite to Fang Xuanling and speak with discretion.
Li Chengqian also said: "Yes, what is going on?"
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "What's the matter? What's the matter that Your Highness doesn't know? Your Majesty has found out about your frame-up of His Majesty the King of Wei!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunder exploded in the hall, making the three people present dizzy and frightened.
Despite being shocked, Li Chengqian still looked puzzled...
