Chapter 1585

"Your Highness, how about I tell you the opening chapter of this class?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "why, don't you talk about the princes' chapter of the emperor?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "when you talk about the 'opening chapter', you will naturally come to the emperor's chapter of the princes."

The prince leaned on the pillow behind him, slightly raised his chin, looked at Mr. Zhuang and motioned him to speak.

Mr. Zhuang didn't care about his attitude and said respectfully as before: "Your Highness, you should have read the book of filial piety, and even memorized it. Confucius said that filial piety is the root of all virtues and the root of enlightenment. If the people of the world obey, their emperors must have their supreme character and the most important morality, so as to stabilize the world, The world returns. "

The prince was tired of hearing these words. Kong Jijiu read them to him in the past few years. The prince listened absently and nodded perfunctorily.

Mr. Zhuang asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of today?"

The Prince did not take his heart and said, "my father is naturally wise and divine."

Mr. Zhuang looked at his expression and said with a smile, "you're right. Your majesty is indeed wise and powerful. My age is older than your majesty. Your highness may not know it, but my minister has gone through two dynasties. In troubled times, my minister studied in his hometown. The neighbors did not say that he was forced to take military service, but other rich people in the same county had to change their property because of heavy taxes."

"Not to mention the troubled times that lasted nearly 200 years ago, it is said that the people also suffered at the end of the former dynasty." Mr. Zhuang said, "after your majesty ascended the throne, he has successively calmed Turks, Xue yantuo, Huihe and Gaochang in martial arts. In terms of culture, he has successively sent Lord Tang, Lord Li Shangshu and Lord Wei to inspect the whole country and investigate the wind evaluation. He has worked hard and never dared to slack off in the past 16 years."

He said: "Your Highness was on duty in the Ministry of household. You should know that at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there were only two million households, but now there are three million households. You can imagine your Majesty's cultural, political and martial arts skills. Your majesty is really worthy of a wise and divine force. "

The prince didn't deny what Mr. Zhuang said, but he couldn't help saying, "what Mr. Zhuang said should be said to his majesty."

Mr. Zhuang knows that the prince listens more to these words than the emperor. Whether they are good words or admonitions, if he listens to the same words more, he will feel bored even if he knows it is reasonable from the bottom of his heart.

He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and poured himself another cup. Then he continued: "Your Highness, the great elegance says that you have no idea of your ancestors, and Yu xiujue de. you are a prince. You should cultivate your virtue with the will of your ancestors. Look at your Majesty's cultural, political and martial arts. Shouldn't you learn from him?"

The prince took a sip of the tea cup and smiled. He glanced at the quiet teahouse and saw that he had brought him to a small class. He knew that Zhuang Xun must have said more than that.

He put down his tea cup and asked, "my father is so good at politics and martial arts, but he didn't learn his ambition and recuperate his virtue from my emperor's grandfather. Is it wrong for Zhuang Shi to teach me with his father as an example?"

He said, "even when Confucius offered wine, he mostly took the literary scenery of Han and Wu as an example to teach the solitary king in the book of filial piety."

Knowing that the most important thing was coming, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but sit up slightly and said, "Your Highness, what the book said is right. Children are the continuation of blood, but we also need to know that every child is an independent person, your highness and your majesty. Your words and deeds also prove that you are not completely dependent on your father. You will not fully listen to your majesty, nor will your majesty listen to the emperor's instructions. Go west and go east. Everyone has his own balance of interests, gains and losses, and more thinking about the world. "

The prince was slightly stunned. This was a little windy, and seemed to run counter to the original intention of the book of filial piety.

However, Mr. Zhuang continued, "filial piety is not due to the complete obedience of our ancestors. When saints still make mistakes, let alone ordinary people?"

He said, "Lord Wei often admonishes you. Your highness should distinguish between his father's good and bad to learn."

The prince was more serious. He couldn't help but sit up slightly, put the teacup on the table, looked up at Mr. Zhuang and asked, "what do you think you should learn from your father and shouldn't learn from your father?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a lot to learn from. Let's talk about filial piety that is most worth learning from your highness today."

The prince couldn't help laughing and asked, "what is the most valuable thing for the orphan king to learn from his father?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "yes!"

"Your Highness, what do you think is the highest wish of the clan? What is the most unified wish of Li's ancestors? "

As soon as the prince heard Mr. Zhuang say that what he should learn most is his father's filial piety, he didn't want to listen to it. However, because Zhuang Xun said well in front, he continued to sit and asked, "what do you think it is, waiter Zhuang?"

"Your Highness may not agree with what I said, so your highness might as well think for yourself," said Mr. Zhuang. "Your Highness, imagine that you are a father and the crown princess has given birth to a legitimate son. What do you want him to do in the future, what aspirations do you inherit, and what will your children and grandchildren do in the future?"

The prince frowned.

Mr. Zhuang said, "will the Crown Princess give birth in three months? The prince is a new father. Maybe he doesn't know that raising children is not only enough to choose a name, dress and feed them, but also to teach them how to behave in the world, teach them to be literate, and watch them become famous... "

Mr. Zhuang said sadly, "I missed a lot when I was young. Your Majesty was the most dangerous and busy when I was young. I'm afraid I didn't have time to teach you, but I think the hearts of fathers in the world are basically the same. What kind of person does the prince want his children to be?"

Of course, he inherited his throne and passed on their Li's world from generation to generation.

The prince thought so and told Mr. Zhuang so.

He will be the emperor in the future. The prince never shy away from this. When he quarreled with King Gong, he shouted bluntly. If he wants to be the prince, he must first step on his body

So he never avoided this. The emperor and courtiers have long been used to it. Even if someone hears it, no one will sue him unless he trains troops.

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty must think so, and the former Emperor must think so. Li's ancestors must have this hope. They hope that Li's world will be passed on for a long time. To do this, all the people in the world must return to their hearts, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor manages the people, and the people are convinced to support the royal family..."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and almost cried in his heart. He finally brought the topic to the right path. This student is really difficult to teach, more difficult than all the disciples he has taught before.
