After Fang Xuanling left the palace, he did not go home directly, but went to the Wang family. He also had to meet the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and tell Li Shimin his thoughts. At least Li Yuan had a preparation here, and things could be completed more easily.
After Fang Xuanling arrived at Wang's house, he met Li Yuan in the back mountain. He first greeted Li Yuan, and then directly told Li Shimin that he hoped that Li Chengqian and Li Tai could learn from Wang Can, but because Wang Can was unwilling to accept disciples, so
The only option now is to choose a compromise plan, let Li Chengqian and Li Tai come to Li Yuan's knees to fulfill their filial piety, and then take the opportunity to ask Wang Can for advice, hoping to get Wang Can's guidance.
After hearing this, Li Yuan also nodded.
What Li Shimin did is good.
It's for the sake of my son.
Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "I know this matter. Just go back and tell the emperor and let Cheng Qian and Qingque come."
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling immediately agreed.
For Li Yuan, although he and Li Shimin had resolved their conflicts and conflicts, he really didn't have much to say to Li Shimin. However, Li Yuan loved his grandson very much.
You must know that Li Chengqian's name was given by Li Yuan. Li Yuan liked Li Chengqian very much when he was a child. But in recent years, as Li Chengqian got older and he was busy with affairs, he saw less of him.
But the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren is very good.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I will go back and report right now."
"Go for it!"
Li Yuan nodded.
He looked at Fang Xuanling's leaving figure with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The emperor's starting point was good, but with the two children here, it was unclear whether they could learn Wang Can's methods and wisdom.
Look at the two children themselves.
Fang Xuanling left Wang's house and went straight to the East Palace.
It's not far from Yongxingfang to East Palace.
Moreover, the East Palace is located to the east of the Imperial City and is easily accessible.
When Fang Xuanling arrived, Li Chengqian was studying. Today, Li Chengqian is only eleven or twelve years old. But his mind has matured, and Li Chengqian is quite filial, which won Li Shimin's praise.
In history, Li Chengqian was indeed extremely smart at the beginning, and he handled government affairs in an orderly manner. He was also quite respectful to his courtiers and teachers, and he was regarded as the best in the world.
They all praised Li Chengqian as the prince's courteous and virtuous corporal.
It's extremely good.
However, as Li Chengqian grew older, Li Shimin doted on Li Tai extremely much. Even when Li Tai was supposed to go to the fiefdom, Li Shimin allowed Li Tai not to go to the fiefdom, and left Li Tai in Chang'an, forming a hatred for Li Chengqian.
Threat. Perhaps at the beginning, Li Tai was not sensible and did not pose a threat to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was also a brother-in-law and was extremely concerned about his younger brother.
However, as Li Tai grew older, especially Li Shimin's high regard, and Li Tai was very able to please Li Shimin, a team naturally formed around Li Tai, and there was a force pushing Li Tai to seize power.
Li Tai's tit-for-tat confrontation put great pressure on Li Chengqian.
After the death of Empress Che Changsun, she lacked a mother who could harmonize Li Chengqian's heart. Li Chengqian also injured his foot due to a fall from a horse. In the end, he developed leg disease and was completely unable to walk normally, which made Li Chengqian gradually change.
He is no longer the kind and intelligent prince.
Instead, he was a prince whose heart was filled with endless beasts, and finally embarked on the path of rebellion.
Of course, Li Shimin actually also thought highly of Li Chengqian.
He even thinks about Li Chengqian everywhere.
Li Shimin's team for Li Chengqian was extremely strong. They were all well-educated people and influential people in the court. But Li Chengqian had already fallen. Even if Li Shimin wanted to train Li Chengqian into a qualified prince
, but it was already too late.
Today, Li Chengqian has not changed.
Li Chengqian saw Fang Xuanling, with a humble and respectful expression on his face, stood up and said: "Prime Minister!"
Fang Xuanling said: "The prince has betrayed his subordinates."
Li Chengqian asked: "The Prime Minister is here today, but what's the matter?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty has a decree to invite the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue to go to the Wang family in Yongxingfang and perform filial piety at the knees of the Supreme Emperor."
As soon as Li Chengqian heard this, his mind changed and he immediately asked: "Prime Minister, is there something wrong with the emperor's grandfather's health? Suddenly, without any news, he asked my second brother and me to go."
Fang Xuanling did not hide anything, and said straight to the point: "Reporting to the prince, the reason why I let you go. The reason is very simple. I want to take advantage of the opportunity of fulfilling my filial piety under the Supreme Emperor to get as much guidance from Wang Can as possible. If I can worship Wang Can as my teacher,
That’s the best.”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately understood.
Li Chengqian also knew about Wang Can's situation. Wang Can was a great benefactor to the Tang Dynasty, to his father and grandfather, and even to his mother and queen.
In addition, Wang Can also rescued Changsun Wuji's wife and Li Chengqian's aunt.
Under these relationships, Li Chengqian had a good impression of Wang Can.
Especially Wang Can's age, not much older than him.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will go to Wang's house later. Please tell Mr. Wang that I will definitely become my teacher and receive Mr. Wang's guidance."
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, if this is the case, then it is best."
"Farewell to my humble post!"
Fang Xuanling stopped staying and turned around to leave.
Li Chengqian sat cross-legged. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Come here!"
Immediately, a servant entered.
Li Chengqian ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I am going to pay a visit to the teacher's house."
Li Chengqian's teacher is now Li Gang, who serves as the prince's young master and is responsible for teaching Li Chengqian.
Today, Li Gang is nearly eighty years old. In this era, he is simply a human being. Especially when Li Gang was young, he was famous and his talents were widely known to the world.
During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Gang became an official early and served as an army officer for King Yu Wenxian of Qi.
At that time, the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wen Yun, hated Yu Wen Xian deeply and intended to kill Yu Wen Xian. It was originally very easy for an emperor to kill someone, but Yu Wen Xian was smart, smart, courageous, and very powerful, so he could not be executed at will.
Therefore, the emperor summoned Yu Wenxian's staff to frame Yu Wenxian's staff for false accusations.
Of course, Li Gang would never obey.
It is a pity that Yu Wenxian was killed in the end, and after Yu Wenxian's body was thrown away, no one dared to collect the body, and even one person ran away.
However, Li Gang was not afraid. He personally arranged and buried Yu Wenxian.
After this incident, Li Gang became famous all over the world.
Be known to everyone in the world.
After Yang Jian founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, he served as Prince Xi Ma and was responsible for teaching Yang Yong. Unfortunately, Yang Yong was eventually deposed, and after Li Gang was in the court for a period of time, he found it difficult to achieve his ambitions, so he finally resigned and lived in seclusion.
When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Yuan recruited Li Gang to become an official and served as the Minister of Rites and the Prince Zhan Shi, responsible for teaching the Prince Li Jiancheng. Unfortunately, Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin.
In fact, Li Gang's temperament is extremely upright.
He advised Li Jiancheng several times, but Li Jiancheng refused to listen to Li Gang's advice. As a result, Li Gang wanted to resign, but was persuaded by Li Yuan to stay. However, Li Gang did not go to see Li Jiancheng at all, and only served in the court.
.
When Li Shimin ascended the throne, he asked Li Gang to teach Li Chengqian again.
In Li Chengqian's place, Li Gang was extremely respected. Li Chengqian also respected his teacher and respected Li Gang in everything. Moreover, when he went to court, Li Chengqian would arrive in advance and help Li Gang enter the court.
In the current dynasty, Li Gang may not have the greatest merit for Li Shimin, but Li Gang's qualifications are beyond the reach of most people. There is no way that Li Gang lives a long life.
Moreover, Li Gang was knowledgeable and had a strong memory, which was the basis for Li Gang's foundation.
After Li Chengqian left the palace, he went straight to Li Gang's house.
As soon as he arrived, he went straight to the study.
Li Chengqian had been to Li Gang's house many times. He was familiar with the place, so he went directly to the study and saw Li Gang who was reading. Li Chengqian stepped forward and said: "Teacher!"
Li Gang stood up and returned the greeting, waved his hand for Li Chengqian to take a seat, and said, "The prince is out of the palace today, but what's the matter?"
"yes!"
Li Chengqian nodded and answered.
Li Gang said: "Prince, please tell me."
Although Li Gang has reached a certain age, he is still in good health and in good spirits.
Li Chengqian said: "Just before, the Prime Minister told me to go to the Wang's house in Yongxingfang with the King of Yue to perform filial piety at the knees of the emperor's grandfather. I asked the Prime Minister what the purpose was, and the Prime Minister said directly that it was for borrowing money.
In the name of fulfilling my filial piety under the emperor's grandfather, I intend to get Wang Can's guidance. This is my father's arrangement. In fact, I want to be able to worship Wang Can as my teacher. This matter is of great importance, so I came out of the palace specially.
, ask the teacher for advice, what should I do about this matter?"
Hearing this, Li Gang stroked his beard and thought carefully.
Li Gang didn't go so far as to say that Li Chengqian had any idea about becoming Wang Can's teacher. In fact, as the prince of the East Palace, Li Chengqian could not have only one teacher, but must be taught by many people.
Furthermore, Li Chengqian's ability to worship Wang Can as his teacher would also help consolidate Li Chengqian's status.
Li Chengqian sat below and did not bother him.
He believed in Li Gang.
After all, Li Gang has lived for nearly eighty years and has rich experience, so Li Gang must think more comprehensively. Under this premise, Li Chengqian believed in Li Gang's judgment.
After a while, Li Gang said: "Prince, according to my opinion, there are two aspects that the prince has to do when going to the Wang family this time. There is no need to do anything else."
Li Chengqian leaned forward slightly and said, "Teacher, please give me some instructions."
Li Gang said: "The first point is to perform filial piety under the knees of the Supreme Emperor. Although this is just an excuse, just a reason for His Majesty, since you go under this banner, you should perform your filial piety under the knees of the Supreme Emperor, so that the Supreme Emperor can enjoy
Family happiness. So the first thing the prince has to do is to make the emperor happy."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Disciple, please remember the teacher's teachings!" (To be continued)
