After listening to Lin Xiu's explanation, Kong Yingda felt quite pleased. They taught the prince in the hope that he could shape the prince into an excellent crown prince, which could continue the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future and create a brighter future.

Therefore, when you see the prince unable to be strict with himself and intoxicated by his feelings, his attitude will be extremely strict, making the relationship between teachers and students very bad.

But wasn’t Lin Xiu here to be a lobbyist? Why did he stand on his own side?

"Lin Xiu, since you understand all these principles, why should you be a lobbyist? It seems that the prince forced you to come out! The prince relied on his identity as a crown prince and actually threatened you. Today's affairs will definitely be revealed to the saint!" Kong Yingda shouted loudly.

Lin Xiu rolled her eyes and said, "I have such a teacher on the street and complained every day. Which student is willing to be obedient, let alone more than one teacher, but a group of old guys."

In fact, Lin Xiu felt very sympathetic to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian became like this now, for his own reasons, and for Li Shimin and these teachers.

"Master, it is the student's own intention to come out to see you." Lin Xiu comforted Kong Yingda and said, "Master, I understand the hard work of you and other adults, and the saints also see it. But my master often says something, I miss it to the Master. But this sentence will offend the saint and the Master, and it is a little disrespectful, so I dare not say it."

Kong Yingda immediately said: "As long as it is a heartfelt word, not a proud word, you can say it. I won't blame you! The saint will not blame you!"

Lin Xiu nodded and then said solemnly: "My master said: If you don't raise your education, it's your father's fault. If you don't teach strictly, it's a teacher's laziness. If your son doesn't learn, it's not appropriate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Kong Yingda was stunned.

"Student is arrogant! Please forgive me for your sins!" Lin Xiu bowed and apologized, afraid that the old man would faint.

And Kong Yingda fell into deep thought.

People keep saying that the prince has shortcomings in virtue, is addicted to pleasure, is crazy and arrogant, and is disrespectful to his teachers. Are these all his own reasons?

As his father and his teacher, if you do not discipline and educate them well, you will be dereliction of duty!

Since he has dereliction of duty, he not only does not reflect on himself, but instead complains to the saint, saying that the prince is like this. Is this kind of behavior what a teacher should do?

As a father and a teacher, you cannot set an example or be a role model. What kind of face does it have to say that the disciple is wrong?

Of course, Lin Xiu cannot say these words directly, so he quoted the Three Character Classic.

Although Kong Yingda was angry at this time, she could not lose her temper with Lin Xiu.

First of all, Lin Xiu just supported them, from their perspective. Secondly, Lin Xiu is not only a junior, but also a student of the Imperial College. As a master, how could Kong Yingda lose his temper?

If you lose your temper, it will verify the principle of "the laziness of a teacher who is not strict in teaching".

Lin Xiu looked at Kong Yingda's face changing. He had no intention of standing up for the prince, so he continued: "Master, the sages and masters taught the prince seriously and strictly and carefully. Naturally, it is not the fault of the son not to teach his father and the laziness of the teacher. Could it be that the son does not learn well? The students think it is the method. If the prince does not study seriously, is the method wrong? Furthermore, is it that the prince always surrounded the prince who has influenced the prince's learning? Meng's mother moved three times to find suitable learning opportunities for Mencius!"

After hearing this, Kong Yingda's face immediately calmed down, then nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are young and have this idea, which is good. Actually, you are right. The students are not well educated and have an unshirkable responsibility with the teacher. By the way, who else in the hall drinks with the prince?"

"The son of Duke Zhao, Changsun Chong!" Lin Xiu replied.

Kong Yingda snorted: "It's also a playboy! Okay, you go into the palace, I'm leaving!"

"Student said goodbye!" Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that he would not be able to persuade this old guy.

Moreover, Lin Xiu dared to assert that the old man would enter the palace after leaving the Eastern Palace and complain to the emperor.

Just sue it. Lin Xiu’s words make sense. The emperor will not blame himself. Instead, he will reflect on himself and learn from Meng’s mother’s three moves and increase the discipline of the prince. It can be imagined that Li Chengqian’s life will be difficult.

......

Lin Xiu guessed correctly. Kong Yingda left the Eastern Palace and went directly to the palace to ask for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs. When he heard Kong Yingda ask for a meeting, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It must be the prince's business again! This prince... let's do it." Li Shimin was worried.

Wang De, the general manager of the main office, waved his hand, and an eunuch invited Kong Yingda in.

Li Shimin also put down his memorials and was in no mood to deal with government affairs.

However, when Kong Yingda entered the palace, Li Shimin was slightly stunned because every time Kong Yingda came to impeach, he was angry. Why is it so peaceful today?

"I am the Imperial College, and I am the attendant of the Eastern Palace to pay homage to the saint!" Kong Yingda saluted.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You are not polite! What's the matter when you enter the palace to see me today?"

Kong Yingda directly reported: "Sage, this is the case..."

The old man told the whole story, from the prince’s absence from class to communicating with Lin Xiu, he did not miss any details.

After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned: "The prince invited Lin Xiu?"

Kong Yingda was stunned, Saint, this is not the point!

"Yes!" Kong Yingda replied.

Li Shimin nodded, and did not ask again, but said, "The son is not the fault of his father, and the laziness of his teacher is not strict. Every word is just twelve words. Indeed, I have worked hard for state affairs and lacked discipline for the prince, which has led to the lack of virtue in the present!"

"I am dead! I have not been able to teach the prince well, so I ask the saint to punish him severely!" Kong Yingda apologized.

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked him to get up, saying, "The crown prince is the crown prince, you are the ministers. If you have this relationship, it will make the crown prince fearless and affect your teachings. I see all your teachings to the crown prince. I must make up my mind to discipline the crown prince, otherwise he will govern the Tang Dynasty in this way in the future? Wang De!"

"I am here!" Wang De responded quickly.

Li Shimin shouted: "The oral order is passed on, and the cost of the East Palace is reduced by half. From tomorrow, the prince will go to the meeting hall at the other time to learn from the ministers and follow the ministers to learn the government affairs. In addition to the order, all the musicians of Taichang Temple and Niannu are repatriated from the East Palace!"

"Yes!" Wang De was shocked. It seemed that His Majesty was serious.

Then, Li Shimin looked at Kong Yingda and asked, "My dear, how do I arrange this?"

"The saint is wise, I believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will understand the saint's good intentions." Kong Yingda said respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded and suddenly said casually: "What do you think of Lin Xiu as a son?"

"The man in Lin County is neither humble nor arrogant, has a calm temperament, and is a rare young talent!" Kong Yingda praised.

Li Shimin smiled and did not ask again.
