"Father, you must never drink this wine again!"
Seeing Li Yuan holding the goblet, he wanted to drink more.
Li Er hurriedly gave an admonition.
"That's all right! Just finish the wine in the cup and stop!"
Li Yuan waved his hand, and his wrinkled face showed joy again:
"I'm so happy tonight. It's been a long time since I've felt this happy!"
Then he looked at Zhuang Zhou and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhuang is truly a man from the Immortal Palace. He has extraordinary knowledge and insight. I like him very much."
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, feeling secretly proud.
He knew that this time he entered the palace, he had successfully entered the core circle of the Tang Dynasty royal family.
The road ahead will inevitably become wider and wider.
After a few rounds of drinking, Li Er also started to feel drunk.
Then he told him about Li Chengqian becoming Zhuang Zhou's disciple.
After all, as the emperor emeritus, it is necessary to consult Li Yuan about this matter.
You should know that as early as the Wude period, Li Yuan canonized Li Chengqian as the emperor's grandson.
He was also granted the title of Prince of Zhongshan.
and.
Even the two words Chengqian were bestowed by Li Yuan himself.
You have to know that Li Jiancheng was still the crown prince at that time.
This is enough to show that Li Yuan likes Li Chengqian.
"What kind of books does Mr. Zhuang usually read?
What classics should be used to treat it?"
Zhuang Zhou, who was holding a glass of wine and about to drink, was suddenly asked.
All right!
Of course he could hear that Li Yuan wanted to test him.
After all, being the prince's teacher is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Replying to the Emperor, I'm actually not a big fan of reading."
This is the truth.
Very few modern people still have a love for reading after leaving school.
Mainly because the pace of life is too fast.
Every day I am exhausted from running around for life.
There is no time to take care of other things.
So those who can still squeeze out time to read in their busy lives.
They are all most respectable people.
Those who can make reading a habit are even more respectable.
Readers are lovely!
But now Li Yuan listened to Zhuang Zhou.
Of course I didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Hmm? It seems Mr. Zhuang is self-taught?"
"Not really."
Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought of what Zhuge Liang said when he was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Just use it:
"It's because I don't like those studies that involve picking out sentences and quoting classics!
Those are the things that pedantic nerds do and have nothing to do with building a nation."
Wow~~~
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan was stunned!
This kid is so crazy!
"What a pedantic nerd!"
Li Yuan laughed heartily, picked up the wine in the glass and drank the last bit.
Then he asked, "Mr. Zhuang, what do you think is the foundation of building a nation?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said slowly:
“In my opinion, the foundation of a nation’s prosperity and success lies in the support of the people (a neutral term, not a derogatory one).
He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world, and he who loses the hearts of the people will lose the world.
This is the eternal truth.”
After hearing what Zhuang Zhou said, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam.
He looked at Zhuang Zhou deeply and nodded.
Although this person is young, he has extraordinary knowledge.
and.
What he said makes a lot of sense.
Since ancient times, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he who loses the hearts of the people loses the world.
This is an unchanging truth.
Li Yuan valued Zhuang Zhou even more.
"Mr. Zhuang is so young, but he's really knowledgeable!"
As Li Yuan spoke, he picked up the wine glass again and wanted to pour some wine.
"Father, you must not drink anymore!"
Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly stopped him.
"Erlang, if I'm happy, I'll have another drink, just this one!"
"Father, have you forgotten what Imperial Physician Sun told you?"
After all, he is almost seventy years old!
How can I drink freely?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou also hurriedly persuaded:
"Your Majesty, this wine is meant to liven up the mood, a little tipsiness is best.
It’s better to drink tea. As the saying goes, tea doesn’t make people drunk, people make themselves drunk; wine doesn’t make people confused, people make themselves confused.
That’s the truth!”
Li Yuan looked at Zhuang Zhou and thought for a moment.
"A little tipsy is the best! Then I won't drink!"
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing this, Li Er felt relieved.
He knew that he had made the right decision by bringing Zhuang Zhou into the palace this time.
Zhuang Zhou is not only knowledgeable, but also has extraordinary insights.
Most importantly, he is a good person.
Able to please the emperor.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for him.
Then, Li Er personally made tea for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had drunk Jin Jun Mei tea before, and drinking it after drinking the wine had a different taste.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Yuan asked again:
"I just heard Mr. Zhuang speak so eloquently. I'm sure he must be quite talented, right?"
Talent?
I have a lot of talent.
I can't dance or sing.
The poetry recitations were unbearable to the ears.
But since I am going to be the prince's teacher.
It definitely needs to be packaged.
In this era, classic Tang poetry and Song lyrics had not yet appeared.
Just the ancient poetry that Zhuang Zhou learned during his nine years of compulsory education is enough to shock the current Tang Dynasty!
So, Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly and said:
"I can't say I'm talented, but I can still talk about poetry, songs, astronomy and geography."
"oh!"
Li Yuan immediately became interested:
"How about writing a poem about this wine?"
Oh!
This old Li is really rude!
