Chapter 6 Du He, Playing the Table and Talking to the Teacher
The first day Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, he was lying on the bed and thinking about himself for a day.
The next day, when Li Chengqian had breakfast, someone brought a set of tables and chairs with yellow rosewood. Because Li Chengqian was anxious, there were no carvings on the tables and chairs, which looked particularly simple and heavy.
Just as Li Chengqian asked someone to put it in Lizheng Hall, someone said that the prince-in-law Du He had come.
Li Chengqian has been tiptoing about this person yesterday. Du He is Du Ruhui's second son, Princess Chengyang's son-in-law, and Princess Chengyang is also the biological daughter of Empress Changsun.
Du He was Li Chengqian's best friend, and Li Chengqian's rebellion was also encouraged by him. Li Chengqian defeated Du He and was executed by Li Shimin.
Du He may have ambitions, but at this time he was one of the few people that Li Chengqian could trust.
When he heard that Du He was coming, he hurriedly asked someone to invite him in. While looking at the tables and chairs in the hall, Li Chengqian was waiting for Du He, he suddenly heard someone say, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Li Chengqian turned around, he saw that it was a young man in gorgeous clothes. He bowed deeply to him and knew that it was Du He. Li Chengqian walked up and helped him up to look carefully. He saw that he had a sharp eyebrow, a heroic spirit, and nodded slightly.
Du He was shocked when he saw Li Chengqian's behavior, his chrysanthemum tightened, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am your brother-in-law, you can't..."
Li Chengqian couldn't understand what he meant. Seeing that he was blushing and embarrassed, he was a little unhappy, and frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Dian, Your Highness, you can't regard me as pleased!" Du He said that, and bowed deeply to Li Chengqian.
As soon as Li Chengqian understood, he said angrily: "You're confused by drinking, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Li Chengqian was angry, Du He stood up straight and laughed, "As long as the prince doesn't have that meaning, it's okay to say anything."
"Okay, you can take a look at my new table and chairs first. Li Chengqian pointed at two rows of official hats and chairs on both sides of the hall and said.
"Your Highness, Prince, why do you still have the heart to do these things? Do you know if something big happens?" Du He said anxiously.
"What happened? The King of Qi rebelled?" Li Chengqian asked in a daze. What Li Chengqian is most concerned about now is his fifth brother's rebellion, because in history, he wanted to rebel because the King of Qi rebellion involved him.
"You don't know at all?" Du He said with disbelief.
Li Chengqian turned to see the old ghost, and the old ghost shook his head and said he didn't know.
"What's the matter? Just tell me?" Li Chengqian said to Du He with some annoyance.
"All the great scholars of the gentry in Chang'an City have submitted a letter to impeach you?"
When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt that it was nothing. He turned around and sat on the chair next to him, and reached out to signal Du He to sit down.
"What did they impeach the Orphan King?"
"Imprison your highness to be disrespectful to the master and to revise the scriptures randomly, it is difficult to inherit the ancestral temple. Moreover, today Li Tai has gone to Kong Yingda's old man's home and borrowed the "Five Classics Justice" noted by the old man, saying that he would copy the books for him." Du He sighed unconsciously.
"That's all?" Li Chengqian didn't think there was anything.
"It's so light. That aristocratic clan has expressed his attitude this time and does not support you as the prince." Du He stared at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.
Li Chengqian thought they would not support Li Shimin as emperor, but Li Shimin still served as emperor for more than ten years. Since later generations, I have never thought of relying on aristocratic families to rule the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian said calmly: "Okay, I understand these things. Please help me keep staring at them. The fourth brother is definitely not just a few methods."
"Old ghost, go and send someone to see the memorials that impeached me, and then tell Zhao Jie that the emperor is now in the Tangquan Palace in Mount Li, and these things will be sent over in a few days." Bai Zhou responded.
Zhao Jie was Li Chengqian's other best friend and Li Chengqian's cousin. His mother was Li Yuan and Li's five daughters Princess Changguang. Li Chengqian's rebellion was defeated and Zhao Jie was executed by Li Shimin.
Zhao Jie's stepfather Yang Shidao is now the head boss of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, Cen Wenben. He is now staying in Chang'an City. There is no problem with sending the memorial to the memorial for a few days late.
After Li Chengqian finished the arrangement, he walked to the previous desk and wrote a memorial to Li Shimin. After sealing it, he handed it to Du He.
: "You personally send this memorial to Tangquan Palace and hand it over to your father. Tell your father that I wrote it because I asked several masters last night. Master Kong and others praised it, saying that I am far-sighted and have the style of a hero."
Du He looked at Li Chengqian as if he was smiling and said with a hint of a smile, and asked hesitantly: "What is it written here?"
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said, "This is a request to the Emperor of Father to establish the General Staff of Pingdong."
Seeing Du He confused, Li Chengqian continued: "Destroying Goguryeo is the father's wish and an extremely important battle in the Tang Dynasty. Now that there is civil strife in Goguryeo, the father must take the opportunity to send troops to conquer Goguryeo, but most ministers in the court do not support sending troops, so they have not prepared in advance. At that time, the victory and defeat are unpredictable, and it is impossible to do it for one to work and one forever.
This memorial was to ask the father to set up the Pingdong General Staff in the name of the East Palace to fully prepare for all the affairs of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, send spies, prepare food, equipment, and plan marching routes.
Tell your father that only I and a few masters from the East Palace know the details of this memorial."
Du He was stunned when he heard this, took the memorial, and after a long time to figure it out, then nodded seriously and said solemnly: "Don't worry, your highness, I will hand it over to the emperor with my own hands." As a son of a Tang Dynasty family, Du He has always been taken care of by Li Shimin and Li Chengqian because of his father. Although he is a little playboy on weekdays, he is also a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and to make achievements.
Seeing Du He go out, Li Chengqian invites Zhang Shiheng, Hao Chujun and others to invite the Chongxian Pavilion's direct scholar Zhang Shiheng, Hao Chujun and others.
After everyone came to Lizheng Hall to pay tribute, Li Chengqian asked them to sit on the chairs on both sides. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting behind the desk, wondering what he had done to Lizheng Hall like this.
Li Chengqian didn't explain and said directly: "A few of them are great scholars."
Everyone hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and continued, "I am going to interpret a few scriptures today, please help me."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is smart and wise, why bother to be angry with those villains?" Hao Chujun thought that Li Chengqian and the impeachment of him had to reinterpret the scriptures. It was too difficult to reinterpret the scriptures. These people alone were absolutely difficult to do it. All the scholars of Chongxian Pavilion were considered to be a great scholar, but Zhang Shiheng may not recognize the reinterpret the scriptures. How can you help the prince reinterpret the scriptures?
Li Chengqian ignored Hao Chujun and waved to the eunuchs to carry up a few long tables and put them in front of them.
Hao Chujun was not at ease when he sat there. The eunuchs who were watching were calmly putting down paper, pen and books on their tables, and looked up at Zhang Shiheng sitting opposite him.
Zhang Shiheng is over 60 years old and is currently the most knowledgeable person under Li Chengqian.
Yesterday, when Li Chengqian preached to Li Xiang, Zhang Shiheng was also present. Seeing their father and son being kind and filial, Zhang Shiheng was quite moved.
Zhang Shiheng also recognized Li Chengqian's knowledge quite well, at least he did not think that Li Chengqian's explanation was wrong.
I was a little dissatisfied with Kong Yingda. Although Kong Yingda is famous all over the world, he, Zhang Shiheng, is not a penny Bai Ding. Why do you come over and shout when we talk about classics, and it is worthless to criticize us?
So today he heard that all the civil officials wrote letters to impeach Li Chengqian, and wanted to take his students with them, and wrote a book to refute these villains.
Now I heard that Li Chengqian wanted to annotate the scriptures himself, so he was naturally very generous.
Hao Chujun looked over and wanted Zhang Shiheng to persuade Li Chengqian, but the old man stood up and bowed, "I don't know which scripture His Highness the Crown Prince wants to interpret?"
Hao Chujun and other scholars from Chongxian Pavilion widened their eyes, thinking to himself why this old master was also making trouble with His Highness?
Li Chengqian looked at the expressions of everyone and knew that it was difficult to convince them, so he said, "The Lord of the Orphans wanted to give this book to several masters in the East Palace, so write a post first.
"In ancient times, scholars must have a teacher, and a teacher was a teacher who taught and explained doubts... Confucius said: If three people walk, there must be my teacher. Therefore, disciples do not have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers do not have to be virtuous to disciples. There are orders of hearing the Tao and specialize in their skills and professions. This is just this.
Confucius, Yingda, was seventy years old and taught me for many years. He did not understand the teachings of the teacher. He wrote the "Talks of the Master" and left it on it. He looked at it as his ancestor said: I can hear the teachings in the morning and die in the evening, and I will study for the rest of my life."
Li Chengqian was ups and downs and recited Han Yu's famous work "The Master's Talk". Just a few last few sentences were slightly modified and turned into an article that satirized Kong Yingda.
Hao Chujun has been recording since Li Chengqian until he finished writing. He raised his head and exclaimed: "Is this ancient text?"
"This is an article that can be understood by more people, and it is also an article that can be passed down through the ages." Li Chengqian said lightly.
All direct scholars in the hall
