Chapter 8
"What's wrong with not respecting teachers?"
Qin Yilan wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "The Emperor can summon the Prince's tutor to the palace and ask him and we'll know."
Soon the Grand Tutor was urgently summoned to the palace. Grand Tutor Tang Ruoxu was already fifty-five years old this year, with half white hair and flowing beard, and he had the demeanor of a great scholar.
After hearing the reason, Tang Taifu was immediately furious.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so straightforward and honest that it is difficult to educate him!"
Li Chenghuan didn't expect that even the Grand Tutor would evaluate the prince in this way.
If Qin Yilan is selfish, then Tang Ruoxu can be considered a true loyal minister.
"Every time I teach, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't listen to a word I say!"
“Never do the homework left over!”
"The books left behind are never opened!"
At the end of the day, Tang Ruoxu felt a little aggrieved.
"Every time I teach the prince, I feel like I am talking to a cow!"
He was considered a great scholar of the time, and he also wanted to teach the prince since he was young. Who hadn't thought about helping the prince become a wise ruler?
That is the dream of so many people!
The classics, history, and Confucian principles were explained to the future successor of the Great Qi Dynasty, so as to subtly teach the prince to love his country and his people.
But, but the prince wouldn't listen at all!
Tang Ruoxu was heartbroken: "In this case, I would rather teach in the academy outside the palace and educate more poor students!"
Li Chenghuan felt embarrassed for the first time after being accused by Tang Ruoxu.
"Taifu is right. I was negligent in my education. But Yu'er has a good nature and she has had a serious illness. Maybe it's because her schoolwork is too heavy."
"Your Majesty!" Tang Ruoxu voiced disapproval, "The Crown Prince is the future of the country, how can Your Majesty be so doting on him!"
Lin Nanjie: [Ah.]
【In fact, the little prince is quite smart. 】
[No, it should be said that he is particularly smart. ]
【He has a photographic memory and an auditory memory.】
Li Chengqian: ???
[It's a pity that the little prince is too lazy to speak, otherwise he would scare Master Tang to death. ]
Li Chenghuan looked at the little prince expectantly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Son, if you are willing to talk, your father will let the little eunuch you like so much to play with you."
Lin Nanjie: ???
【What does it have to do with me? 】
The little prince's eyes suddenly lit up.
The situation was at a stalemate when the little prince suddenly opened his mouth.
"Wealth and honor are what people desire, but if they are not obtained by the right means, they should not be kept. Poverty and meanness are what people hate, but if they are not obtained by the right means, they should not be abandoned."
"Look at the Qi River, where green bamboos grow luxuriantly. There is a gentleman there, sharp as a knife, polished as a jade. He is solemn and majestic, and loud and noisy. There is a gentleman there, who can never be guessed!"
"Only the benevolent can use the big to represent the small, so King Tang served Ge and King Wen served Kunyi. Only the wise can use the small to represent the big, so the great king served Xunyu and Gou Jian served Wu. Those who use the big to represent the small are those who are content with heaven; those who use the small to represent the big are those who fear heaven. Those who are content with heaven protect the world, and those who fear heaven protect their country. The poem says: 'Fear the majesty of heaven and protect it at the right time.'"
The little prince's tender voice echoed clearly in the Purple Palace, and everyone's eyes widened.
Li Chengqian took a long time to find his voice and said in a harsh voice: "Okay..."
Good guys!
After Li Chengqian said the word "good", the entire Zichen Hall, with Wang Dehai as the leader, began to voice praise.
Who would have thought that the little prince, who was always thought to be mute, would be so amazing when he spoke!
Wang Dehai's eyes were moist: "The little prince is so smart, it is really a blessing for Daqi!"
Tang Ruoxu felt as if he was nailed to the spot and looked at the little prince as if he had seen a ghost.
Even though the prince was mute, he always held the little prince to the standards of ordinary people, which was why he was so disappointed with him.
These paragraphs are all from the Four Books and Five Classics, especially the last one, which he mentioned by chance recently.
The little prince actually remembered them all.
But he never memorized anything or did his homework.
There is only one explanation!
A strange light flashed in Tang Ruoxu's eyes!
Could it be that the little prince is a child prodigy? !
After the little prince finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ruoxu somewhat embarrassedly. The expression on his little face was serious, but more of it was apologetic.
Gradually, Tang Ruoxu's eyes became moist.
Could it be that he is really going to help the country become a wise ruler in the future?
The little prince can speak eloquently now, so what if he is usually quiet?
Tang Ruoxu looked at the little prince as if he had seen a golden cake, and bowed deeply to Li Chenghuan excitedly.
"It turns out that I was blind and didn't realize that Your Highness is so gifted."
"It is normal for the little prince to behave differently from ordinary people since he is so precocious. People who are precocious usually behave differently from ordinary children. This is a sign of wisdom!"
"He is so smart, has a photographic memory, and is eloquent. He will surely become a great man in the future!"
"It is a blessing for our great Qi to have such a great man!!"
"I will do my best to teach you and live up to the trust of the emperor!"
Tang Ruoxu was extremely excited, his face flushed red, and he wished he could teach the prince all his knowledge, including the Four Books and Five Classics, Classics, History, and Miscellaneous Works!
ah!
There is also "The Great Strategy of Qi"!
The Daqi Law is the foundation of the country's rule of law and cannot be neglected! !
Foreign books brought back by the seagoing fleet should also be added. Broadening children’s horizons should start from childhood!!!
Lin Nanjie was stunned: [Teacher Tang...seems like one of those parents who loves chickens.]
Although Li Chenghuan didn't understand what "jiwa" meant, he was also frightened by Tang Ruoxu's enthusiasm.
Listening to Tang Ruoxu's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little elated. His son was indeed amazing.
Tang Ruoxu excitedly spoke about his teaching plan, wishing he could let the little prince swim in the ocean of knowledge right now. He was so immersed in the topic that he didn't notice that the corners of the little prince's mouth turned down.
Lin Nanjie expressed his disapproval:
[His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only four years old! ]
[Although enlightenment is important at this age, science has proven that it is not appropriate to develop the brain too early. Physical and mental development should be carried out in parallel.]
[Also, the little prince noticed that Master Tang was too enthusiastic, and immediately added more homework after he learned the content by dictation, and the little prince pretended that he didn't listen.]
[Wow! Why wasn't I this smart when I was in school? ]
Thinking of his grades in school, Lin Nanjie said coldly: "Oh, I wasn't that smart. 】
Li Chenghuan and Tang Ruoxu's enthusiasm suddenly cooled down.
That makes sense!
"Don't be anxious, Master. Yu'er is still young, so you should learn step by step."
Tang Ruoxu: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
The little prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was then pulled by Li Chenghuan to sit on his lap.
Qin Yilan was stunned by this sudden change.
The prince is not dumb?
Can you also recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart?
She also wants the emperor to depose the crown prince and have a child with her!
Qin Yilan gritted her teeth and said, "The little prince is so smart and precocious, but he secretly hides the concubine's bellyband. Please let the emperor see clearly!"
Li Chenghuan looked at the little prince and said, "Tell father what's going on."
The little prince glanced at his father, seeming a little aggrieved: "Stinky, dizzy, noisy."
Lin Nanjie: [Eh, I think I can translate what the little prince said.]
[The bellyband stinks, it makes him dizzy, and this group of people are still chattering and making so much noise that it makes his head swell. ]
Li Chengqian: …
[The little prince was just annoyed, and hearing the quarrels made him even more annoyed. He was too lazy to even make an excuse.]
[Daqi is the most frugal person in the world! ]
Li Chengqian:……
Who does this child take after?
Qin Yilan's face was distorted. What did she mean by stinky? Her bellyband had been soaked in pandan water and fumigated with the finest cosmetics!
Wang Dehai called in the palace maid who was in charge of the concubine's clothes.
The maid knelt down tremblingly.
Wang Dehai: "Do you know what happened today?"
The maid said tremblingly, "After washing, the concubine's underwear is soaked in pandan water, then hung up to dry, and then fumigated with powder. Today, it was hung up to dry, and when I went to collect it, I found that it was blown away by the wind. I didn't expect to disturb the little prince."
Lin Nanjie: [Ah, he obviously knew that the prince was passing by and threw it out.]
Li Chengqian's face was cold: "How dare you lie!"
The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I know I was wrong! I was also instructed by someone!"
Wang Dehai: "Who ordered you to come here? Come here as soon as possible!"
The palace maid looked tremblingly at A Hui, the maid beside Concubine Qin.
Ah Hui's face turned pale: "Stop spitting blood at me!"
Qin Yilan bit her teeth and broke them.
It turned out that I failed at the last moment!
She looked at the nurse beside her: "The little prince is still violent."
Lin Nanqi looked at the wet nurse again: [Oh, there is also the wet nurse. It was obviously the wet nurse who was dishonest and stole the property of the East Palace. The little prince found out and bit her.]
Li Chengqian: …
Li Chenghuan signaled Wang Dehai: "Take the nurse down and have someone check where she lives."
The nurse's face turned pale, her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
When he was dragged away, he looked at the little prince and said, "Prince, save me!"
The little prince turned his face towards the emperor and his back to the wet nurse.
Li Chenghuan tapped the little prince's forehead and said, "If you don't like someone, tell your father. Don't bite anyone next time."
The little prince nodded obediently.
Lin Nanqi: [Ah, there seems to be something else going on here. Let me look it up.]
Li Chengqian's ears perked up. Is there something else going on?
[Ah! This method was actually revealed to Concubine Qin by the general by accident! ]
What!
Li Chengqian's heart was suddenly in turmoil. General Qin was actually involved in this matter?
He wanted to murder the royal heir but failed!
[When the general entered the palace to visit the imperial concubine, he accidentally let slip that he had given the emperor something, and that he had a strong attachment to it. He also said that if he was discovered, he would definitely be convicted.]
[I was just talking to myself, but I actually inspired the Imperial Concubine? ]
Li Chengqian wondered, did the Qin general steal his things?
He is so powerful now, does he still need to steal things?
[Wait wait wait, what did the general give to the emperor that is so hard to give up. ]
Li Chengqian: He wants to know too!
Were the gold, silver and jewelry that had just been presented as tribute seized, or were the ancient treasures of the Imperial Household Department lost?
That’s not right. How could Qin Fang be interested in these?
Lin Nanjie tried hard to sort out the plot in his mind. After sorting out the ins and outs, he burst into laughter.
【Hahahahahahahahaha! 】
【He stole the dog emperor's socks! 】
[He took it off during the hunting trip in the palace last year. He was quick to take it away! ]
[Original socks!! Hidden under the general’s pillow!!!]
Li Chengqian almost vomited.
He held the little prince with more strength, causing the little prince to look at him sideways.
The image of Qin Fang's tall and majestic figure emerged in his mind, and he lay in the quilt in the middle of the night admiring the socks he had worn.
My stomach suddenly started to churn.
!!!
Li Chenghuan put the little prince down and handed him to the eunuch, then called Wang Dehai and said in a hurry, "Follow me to the general's mansion!"
Qin Yilan was shocked: "What does the emperor mean?"
Why is her brother suddenly involved?
Li Chengqian looked at Qin Yilan intently and said, "You should go with us."
Wang Dehai: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is against the rules."
Why did he suddenly take his concubines out of the palace?
Li Chenghuan sneered: "Rules? I am the rules!"
Lin Nanjie: [Strange, why do you suddenly want to go to the general's mansion? ]
[No matter what, it looks like there's something interesting to watch, I want to go too, I want to go too! ]
***
The General's Mansion is located in the east of the city. It has a very good location. It was a gift and was built very luxuriously.
The doorman inside saw someone coming and was pushed away before he could even reach out to block it. Wang Dehai looked down at him and said, "Open your eyes and see who's coming."
Only then did the doorman see that the leader was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
Bright yellow! Dragon robe!
The doorman's face immediately lost all color and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am blind."
Before he could finish his words, Li Chengqian had already gone inside.
Li Chenghuan had been to the general's mansion before, so he was familiar with the layout of the mansion and went straight to Qin Fang's bedroom.
Lin Nanjie: [Ah, are we going directly to the general's bedroom? ]
[It seems like your relationship is a little ambiguous. ]
Li Chenghuan almost tripped over the threshold and almost swore.
On the other side, Qin Fang was practicing boxing in the courtyard of the mansion that was specially used for martial arts training. He was practicing with great vigor and strength. It was very cold and he was sweating all over. With his bare upper body, his wheat-colored skin was shining in the sun.
The servant came stumbling in.
Qin Fang frowned: "Why are you so reckless?"
"General, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" the servant gasped. "The Emperor is coming!"
Qin Fang's eyes lit up: "The Emperor is here? Have you settled him?"
The servant was about to cry: "There was no time to settle him down, the emperor went straight to your bedroom!"
Qin Fang:!!!
