Li Kuan's two private words touched Li Shimin's heart. This was what he was most worried about in his life. In his words, all kinds of sins should be inflicted on me, and his descendants should not be harmed.

Therefore, Li Kuan, the deputy imperial envoy who was transferred from the front line to handle the case, was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple for the crime of "disrespect before the emperor" before he took office.

But all the ministers in the government and the public knew that something happened in the East Palace, and the King of Wei was assassinated, which had already stirred things up into a pot of porridge. But at this time, His Majesty imprisoned the King of Chu, without removing him from office, and without using his military power, which made it clear that

Let’s get the King of Chu out!

Changsun Wuji and other ministers who usually went to the East Palace were also speechless. The emperor loved his son and felt that his son had worked hard in the war. What happened to letting him rest?

As for Li Kuan, the real uncle, Zongzheng Shaoqing and Li Daoming, the king of Huaiyang, gave him a separate yard and allowed Wan Xuandao and three little guys, Li Zhi, Li Ming and Li Mingda, to play.

Today, Li Kuan drank a little too much. Li Kuan was lying on a low couch and telling stories to the three little guys. And the character he was talking about was the well-known teacher-Confucius.

In the eyes of scholars, Confucius and the living embodiment of the word "virtue" are the amiable and amiable teachers with a shining head. Li Zhi, their elders, only told them to learn the ways and virtues of the saints.

But Li Kuan wanted to advance their understanding of Confucius, who was nine feet six inches long and ten inches tall. He was a big man with big shoulders and round waist. He was a real Shandong man. He drove a chariot wildly at every turn, and he had three thousand followers behind him.

Where's Confucius? He's worthy of being the representative of Shandong people, with heroic blood flowing in his bones. In one hand is the Analects of Confucius, and in the other is a sword. Those who are obedient will reason with you, and those who are disobedient, haha, just go to "physical education class".<

/p>

Moreover, Confucius was so powerful that he would raise the bolts on city gates whenever he disagreed. What does "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" say?

The strength of Confucius means that the gates of a country are as strong as the gates of a country. It means that a city gate bolt of several hundred kilograms can be lifted up as soon as Confucius said it.

Looking at the three little guys sitting in a row, they looked like they had never seen the world before, with their mouths wide open in an exaggerated manner. Li Kuan touched their heads and said with a smile: "Where are you going?"

A gentleman has six arts: calligraphy, numeracy, etiquette, music, shooting, and charioteering! Among them, charioteering is Confucius's little hobby - racing.

What is recorded in the book: How great is Confucius! He is learned but has no reputation. When Confucius heard about it, he said to his disciples: "Why should I hold on? To control? To shoot? I have to control!"

Imagine that an old man with a height of more than nine feet and a gray beard driving this chariot will definitely shock the jaws of onlookers.

Then, he drew his bow fully, nocked his arrow, and aimed at you! He said that he wanted to talk to you, but you said you didn’t want to listen!

If you take a closer look at this time, his ferocious face seems to have a faint word for virtue.

"Hey, what is this called? This is called convincing people with virtue. With one hand of truth and the other hand of a sword, who can resist!"

"Anyway, you have to obey one between reason and force, so I think it would be more appropriate to rename this "Analects of Confucius" to "Wanyu"."

Confucius had a disciple named Zilu, who was famous for his bravery and fierce fighting. However, he was "educated" by Confucius twice, and finally became a devout disciple. So, it makes sense, sometimes fists are more reliable.

Moreover, benevolence, righteousness, and forgiveness advocated by Confucianism simply distort Confucius’ true intentions and are imposed by later generations.

Take "repaying evil with kindness" as an example. The Analects of Confucius says: How about repaying evil with kindness? Confucius said: How to repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness.

Confucius had a distinct personality, and he was a person who emphasized the distinction between good and evil. His meaning was very clear: repay kindness in return, and sincerely repay those who are kind to you. As for those who bully you, just do it.

Like Confucian disciples, the story of Boyi and Shuqi, who are only praised for their reputation, insists on the principles of life and would rather die than eat Zhou Su, which is a complete contempt for the imperial power.

They just met the King of Zhou, and the concept of divine right of kings had not yet been fully formed at that time. But the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. If it were now, if there were such people, the saint would have sent troops to kill them

Buried in the soil.

"So, when it comes to life and doing things, what the teacher says and what is written in the book may not be all correct. You have to learn and apply it. The so-called good reading does not require a deep understanding."

As for governing the country, Li Kuan could only say that he did not deny the role of Confucianism in centralizing imperial power, but he looked down upon their practice of "the people can teach it, but not know it." This theory will sooner or later

Exhausting the blood of the people.

"The most important thing in being a human being is integrity! Especially for a royal family, they would rather risk the overthrow of the ancestral temple and cut off the bloodline than sit back and watch the country and the country and let the powerful and treacherous ministers control it!"

"Why is it said that listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, but listening to partial listening will lead to darkness? It is right to respect teachers and Taoism, but the brain must be your own."

Seeing Li Zhi nodding hurriedly, he took a sip of the wine in his hand. Li Kuan patted the table and drank: "Lao Jiu, you are raising fish! Done!"

Problem! It’s true that Li Ming and Li Mingda are children, so they can just drink some juice. How old is Li Zhi? When he was this age, Li Kuan led troops to kill everyone in Liangzhou! Drink some wine and talk to women

Just the same, dawdling, not manly at all!

When Li Zhi raised his head and drank, choking and coughing, Li Shimin outside the door was so angry that he jumped up and down. He thought it made sense to hear what he said before, but he taught Li Zhi to drink, which is what a brother should do.

?

But Fang Xuanling, who was accompanying the audience, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, it is good to drink some wine, it can stimulate the manliness! Moreover, the affairs in Henan cannot be delayed any longer!"

Li Shimin turned to look at Fang Xuanling: "What do you mean?"

Fang Xuanling's meaning is very simple. Although the King of Chu has a violent temper, his intentions are upright and he doesn't hide so much from his brothers and sisters. Li Zhi and Li Ming are not young anymore. It is better to hand them over to the King of Chu than to those who

It is better to be a rotten scholar.

A journey of a thousand miles is better than ten years of study. Anyway, the affairs of Henan depend on the King of Chu. Fortunately, I asked him to take the two princes with him and go out to see them. In this way, not only can they gain experience and broaden their horizons, but they can also

Improving the relationship between brothers is not the best of both worlds.

Of course, there is another level of relationship. Although Fang Xuanling didn't say it, Li Shimin also understood that the princes were getting older. If they couldn't take advantage of this moment to get close to each other, when they got older, they would travel to various fiefdoms and not see each other for a year.

How much emotion can there be on one side?

Although the emperor is rich, he also has troubles. Whether these children are harmonious is exactly what emperors of all ages have worried about.

Li Shimin nodded and sighed: "Xuan Ling knows my heart! I am a second-rate man, and it is rare for me not to learn and have skills."
