Chapter 10 Find something to do for Old Man Kong
Li Chengqian took the jade pendant rewarded by the old man, and after walking out of the Lizheng Hall, he let out a long breath, looked at the bookcase carried by the two eunuchs on the side, and felt a little crying without tears.
I originally planned to go to the eldest grandson to curry favor here, cheat some money and spend money, but I didn't expect to be blocked by my father, the money was not deceived but was preached by a good meal, and at the end I was rewarded with a box of books, saying that it must be read through, and the prince must learn to worry about the country, don't learn those sour and rotten Confucians.
Thinking about Comrade Li sitting on a chair designed by himself, looking at the poems he copied, with a look of what to ask for, and then constantly preaching, Li Chengqian's heart began to hurt, when will the hard injury of age be healed.
Li Chengqian was depressed, but he didn't know that he was in the Lizheng Palace, and Lao Li watched his eldest son leave dejectedly, and he also shook his head and sighed: "Chengqian, this kid is good, but he is a little cowardly, not very like me." ”
"The second brother has fought and killed all his life, and many ministers in the DPRK and China can't raise their heads in front of the second brother, Gao Ming's performance is already extraordinary, after all, he is still an 8-year-old child." Empress Eldest Sun was not dissatisfied, and she felt that Li Chengqian could comprehend her spirit without words, and she felt that this eldest son was very good.
"Hmph, of course it's extraordinary, don't think I don't know about the little tricks you two are doing, but it's really a mother-son connection, Chengqian, this kid can understand your intentions just by looking at you lighting the inkstone." Li Shimin and the eldest grandson have lived together since they were children, and there are no outsiders at this time, so they don't call me at all, just you and me.
"It's the concubine who is not good, and it makes His Majesty angry." Empress Changsun admitted her mistake in her mouth, but there was no expression on her face, but she covered her mouth and snickered like a little fox who stole a chicken.
Seeing the eldest grandson's attitude, Li Shimin was also helpless, the two grew up since childhood, how could they not know the character of their wife, so they had to shake their heads at the moment, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, I know that you feel sorry for Qingque, I didn't say anything." ”
Then he didn't wait for the eldest grandson to speak again, he turned his head to look at the sky outside the main hall, and said: "It's not too early, I made an appointment with Li Jing and them to talk about things in the afternoon, and come back in the evening, you can rest first." ”
The same position, the same expression, the same long breath, the same helpless face, but the character was changed from Li Chengqian to his Lao Tzu.
The eldest grandson is so powerful Li Chengqian They are too young to know, but how can Li Shimin, who grew up with her, not be clear, as long as he doesn't show the majesty of the emperor, in private, Comrade Li has suffered a lot, so as long as she shows an expression of a fox eating chicken, the best way is to escape.
As the days passed, Li Chengqian's demonic poetic talent gradually spread outside, and the two poems were also spread all over Chang'an City, and from time to time someone could be heard chanting in a low voice.
But Li Chengqian was taught a lot by Kong Yingda, the old man really thought that poetry was just a game, and the real avenue was still poetry, scriptures, and subsets.
So for a long time, Li Chengqian's schoolwork was inexplicably much heavier, if it weren't for the super strong memory after the crossing, I was afraid that even the soles of his feet would be swollen.
However, Li Chengqian is not without gains, at least the necessary sophistry skills have been practiced by him unintentionally, and he has the power to give up on me, and even the old master Kong Yingda has to bow down.
"Master Confucius, how do you break sentences when you read those classics?" After the first snow fell in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda stood in the corridor of the East Palace after class and chatted.
"How do you break a sentence?" Kong Yingda turned his head a little puzzled, looking at himself, a smart student who was a little overdone.
"That's right, break the sentence, our current classics are all connected, how do you know where to break it?" Li Chengqian has been troubled by this matter during this time, the emperor Lao Tzu gave him a lot of books, but it is too troublesome to read, as a modern person, this kind of ancient text is like a book from heaven to him.
"What's so hard about that? If you read too much, it will naturally break. The old gentleman looked proud, clearly indicating that he had read enough, and another implication was, of course, that Li Chengqian had not read enough books and was uneducated.
Dissatisfied, seriously dissatisfied, these old men who follow their own Lao Tzu to fight the world are all like this, relying on their seniority, they are always bullish.
And Li Chengqian, who regarded himself as the No. 1 gentleman in the Tang Dynasty everywhere, how could he endure being said to be illiterate by an ancient, and said at the moment: "Since Master Confucius said so, why don't you help students break sentences?" ”
Li Chengqian, who was 8 years old and had the soul of a 20-year-old in his body and had experienced the baptism of the information explosion in later generations, remembered many sentences with two meanings almost instantly.
"Oh? What is the topic of His Royal Highness the Prince, and how about saying it for the old man to hear? "People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take, and if you say this kind of thing, you will break a fart.
Li Chengqian threw a disdainful look at the cautious old man Kong, entered the classroom, found a pen and paper, and wrote a line of words in just a moment: No chickens, ducks, no fish, only green vegetables and radishes, no less wages.
After putting down the pen, Li Chengqian smiled and said to Kong Yingda, who was standing aside and watching: "Master Confucius, look, this is the sentence." ”
Old man Kong, who had already seen the handwriting in his eyes, smiled freely, and said confidently with his beard: "This sentence is so simple, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not break it?" ”
"I don't know how Master Confucius broke it?" Li Chengqian had a meaningful smile on his face and asked.
"Prince, look." Old man Kong said, stretched out his hand to pick up the pen, and wrote on the paper with a smile: No chickens and ducks can also / no fish can also / only green vegetables and radishes are indispensable / wages are not allowed.
After Li Chengqian saw it, he understood in his heart, smiled indifferently and said: "Confucius is slow, but the students have different opinions. ”
Then, under the puzzled gaze of Old Man Kong, he randomly crossed a few strokes on the paper, and the whole sentence became: no chicken/duck can be/no fish/meat is also acceptable/only green vegetables and radishes are not allowed/less wages are not allowed.
The old man Kong Yingda looked at the sentences with exactly the same words in the upper and lower rows, but the meanings were diametrically opposed, and only after a while did he speak: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to say?" Please also make it clear"
"Master Confucius, what would happen if this text was sent to the county as the main body of a piece of paper?" Li Chengqian did not answer Kong Yingda's question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"It's ......." Old man Kong was asked by Li Chengqian's words, if this kind of sentence with two meanings is explained, it is completely based on people's subjective consciousness, so it is likely to make the innocent person be wronged.
"And I don't know how Confucius understands that the people can make it; Do not know. and the people may make it, and from it; No, let it be known. Is there a people to do it? No. It can be known. Li Chengqian didn't seem to intend to let go of Old Man Kong, and directly used the Analects in his words, but he didn't know that as soon as this remark came out, Kong Yingda was struck by lightning and stood on the spot.
