At any rate, Li Yuanying grew up in Da'an Palace and Taiji Palace. Even if the canonization ceremony is more formal, it is not difficult for Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying also specially invited Wei Zheng and Xiao Deyan to come to watch the ceremony, Kong Yingda and others who he did not invite were also invited by His Majesty Li Er, which was very grand for King Feng.

Li Yuanying's only regret is that his mother Liu Baolin is not here, so he cannot watch him become king with his own eyes.

His Majesty Li Er was quite surprised to see that Li Yuanying and Xiao Deyan looked very close.

Last year, his son Li Tai wrote a letter to edit a book called "Kuo Dizhi", and His Majesty Li Er sent Xiao Deyan and others to help Li Tai edit the book. It stands to reason that Xiao Deyan should be on Li Tai's side, why did Li Yuanying invite him

His Majesty Li Er walked up to Xiao Deyan and asked: "Does this kid often go to stalk Xiao Qing?"

Xiao Deyan is old and has experienced many storms, so he is not nervous in front of the imperial court. He smiled and glanced at Wei Zheng who was on the side, and said with a tease: "It's still Wei Shizhong who leads the thread."

Wei Zheng is now the governor of the province, and he is in charge of the various edicts of His Majesty Li Er. If he thinks it is feasible, he will sign and issue it, and if he thinks it is not suitable, he will send back to His Majesty Li Er to call someone to re-draft the regulations. His Majesty Li Er used him very well, even though he had been promoted to Special Advancement in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and his status was second only to the third division, he still took care of the position of servant in the province.

After being named by Xiao Deyan, Wei Zheng responded: "When compiling "Quanshu Zhiyao", I talked with Xiao Xueshi for many days, and thought that "The Analects of Confucius" was not as thorough as Xiao Xueshi, so I recommended His Highness to ask Xiao Xueshi for advice. "

His Majesty Li Er asked Xiao Deyan: "How is Yuanying learning?"

As soon as Li Yuanying heard this question, he immediately looked at Xiao Deyan expectantly, his eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that "today is a good day for me to be canonized, please say something nice and praise me".

Xiao Deyan was amused, and agreed to his intention: "Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and he is willing to work hard in reading. I'm afraid it won't be long before I have nothing to teach."

Li Yuanying loved hearing this, his tail was about to stick up, his face was full of pride and complacency.

Since it was Li Yuanying's birthday, it was rare that His Majesty Li Er and Kong Yingda didn't say anything against him, and they both gave him a few words of relief, telling him not to mess around again in the future.

After the canonization ceremony was over, Xiao Deyan and others gave him gifts, and even Kong Yingda gave him a good inkstone.

Li Yuanying happily accepted the gift, but secretly murmured: Could it be that Lao Kong gave him the inkstone because he satirized his poor handwriting

Everyone had a meal together and parted ways. Li Yuanying put away the canonized edict, and casually talked to Li Zhi about her suspicions about Kong Yingda's gift.

Li Zhi said: "Wei Shizhong also gave you ink ingots, why don't you think so?"

Li Yuanying snorted, "How can it be the same!"

Old Wei treats him very well, and there is such a good granddaughter as sister Shu, and Kong Yingda doesn't have a cute granddaughter! Even if she has a lovely granddaughter, she is not as powerful as sister Shu!

Li Zhi ignored him and left.

As soon as Li Zhi left, Li Yuanying felt a little lonely. After thinking about it, he went to the library again. After seeing Wucai people in the old place, Li Yuanying was no longer surprised. He took out the book list and asked her to help find books. He couldn't help but talk to her about Kong Yingda giving him an inkstone and Wei Zheng giving him an ink ingot.

He also felt strange, how could he feel that Kong Yingda was mocking him, but not that Wei Zheng was also mocking him

Wu Cai said: "Then you can read one more book."

Li Yuanying wondered, "What book?"

Wu Cairen stretched out a slender hand and easily took a book from the shelf and handed it to Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying opened it up, and said doubtfully, ""Han Zi"?"

Wu Cairen nodded.

Li Yuanying put "Han Zi" in front of the book he was looking for suspiciously, and ran away with the book.

Wu Cairen looked at the back of Li Yuanying leading the people away, and a smile involuntarily appeared on the corners of his lips.

Everyone in the deep palace lived a deep life, but this child was fearless and lived a life of indulgence and recklessness.

She really wondered what kind of person he would become in the future, would his current innocence and joy be polished away by the ruthlessness of the royal family, or would he live a life that no one else could have imagined

Li Yuanying didn't care whether Wu Cairen was curious about him or not. He returned to his residence with the book in his arms, and first picked up the volume of "Han Zi" to read.

"Han Zi" was divided into many volumes, and Wu Cairen gave him the volume "Said Difficult", which didn't have many words.

Li Yuanying read most of the relevant works of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Rites" during this period, and did not set foot in the books of the Legalists.

At first glance, Li Yuanying only felt that "Han Zi" was quite interesting. After reading it, he also understood why Wu Cairen asked him to read this book.

There is a story in it that is related to his doubts. The general idea is that the wall of a family home was washed down, and his son and neighbors advised him to fix it quickly, otherwise someone would sneak in and steal things from there. It turned out that it was really stolen the next day, so he praised his son for being smart and suspected that the neighbor stole it!

There is another story in the back, which tells the story of a man who was very favored by the emperor at the beginning. When his mother was seriously ill, he drove the king's carriage to visit him. Another time, the man took a bite of a peach and found it very sweet, so he gave the peach to the king to eat. The king admired again: "He loves me so much, he will give me some sweet peaches!" Later, the man fell out of favor, and the king felt bored when he saw him, and scolded: "This man is so bold and lawless!" , dare to drive a carriage that can only be used by a king, and even give me the peaches I have eaten!"

This shows that the same thing, different relationships will have different views!

Han Zi also said that dragons have inverse scales, and kings also have them. If you want success to speak, you can't touch the king's inverse scales!

Li Yuanying liked this "Said Difficulty" very much, and went to the library again to find out all Han Zi's books, take them back and read them carefully.

When he went to the lecture hall the next day, Li Yuanying not only changed into a new outfit because of Feng Wang, but also carried several brand-new volumes of "Han Zi".

Li Zhi hadn't read "Han Zi" either. Seeing that his master hadn't arrived yet, he took a volume and opened it to read it.

Coincidentally, what Li Zhi took was the book "Five Beetles". In "Five Beetles", Han Fei wrote that there are five kinds of moths in the country, one is devoted to learning (Confucianism), and the other is to deceive people by talking There are many strategists, one is a knight-errant who is free from restraint, the other is a person who escapes corvee by relying on the nobles, and there are merchants and craftsmen!

Han Fei also satirized that asking scholars to govern the country with propriety and righteousness is tantamount to stupid farmers waiting for rabbits!

The story of "waiting for a rabbit" was written so vividly that Li Zhi was horrified when he saw it, and felt that he was almost convinced by Han Fei.

Seeing Li Yuanying reading another volume, Li Zhi couldn't help asking: "Uncle Yao, where did you find this book?"

Li Yuanying said: "I found it in the library."

Seeing Li Zhi's expression of being shocked by "Han Zi", Li Yuanying took away the volume of "Five Beetles" in Li Zhi's hand, and exchanged the "Eight Traitors" in his hand for Li Zhi.

"Eight Traitors" is relatively short, and it talks about some treacherous people around the king, including but not limited to the king's wife, king's brothers, king's servants, and ministers under the king's hands who are doing things.

Li Yuanying didn't feel that he was included in "Eight Traitors" at all, and said with relish: "This book is really interesting, he really dared to write anything, no wonder he was killed."

Look at the shooting range, it's like saying "Your Majesty, there are all villains around you, so beware of everyone"!

How can you sleep if others don't kill him!

After Li Zhi took over "Eight Traitors", Li Yuanying also finished "Five Beetles".

He admired Han Zi's courage!

The eight traitors just now only sprayed the people around the king, these five beetles are going to sweep all the common people into it! Except for the peaceful farmers, the rest are all traitors and moths. No matter what kind of scholars, businessmen and craftsmen you are, they are all bad things!

If someone with a bad mentality reads it, I am afraid that this world is really dark!

Li Yuanying said with emotion: "This man is amazing."

I really don't stop until I offend everyone in the world!

Li Zhi was tolerant by nature, and he didn't like the theory of evil sex. He shook his head and persuaded Li Yuanying: "Uncle Yao, you should stop reading such books."

Books are easy to find, but interesting books are hard to find, so why not read them? Li Yuanying would not agree to Li Zhi, and insisted, "No, I want to read it all."

A book called "Hanzi", the more Li Yuanying reads it, the more interesting it becomes, and he feels that there are many vivid examples in it that he can tell Sizi and the others!

For the next few days, Li Yuanying soaked in "Hanzi", until Dong Xiaoyi came to report that the sunflower had grown buds, then he threw the book away, and excitedly took Sizi and Wei Shu to see the sunflower buds.

This time Li Zhi doesn't have to go to class, he can finally join the flower watching team!

Perhaps it was because the seeds were very tenacious, and Dong Xiaoyi took care of them very carefully. All ten sunflowers survived and grew very robustly. Each one was taller than Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying and Li Zhi were leading the four little girls looking up for the sunflower buds, but His Majesty Li Er also led people around to see what the sunflower buds looked like.

Seeing that Li Yuanying and the others had noticed their arrival, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand so that they didn't have to salute.

Looking at the ten sunflowers, His Majesty Li Er inevitably warned Li Yuanying: "In the future, if you find something good to grow, you can't fry it and eat it!"

Li Yuanying nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and was extremely obedient.

A group of people took a look around the flower buds, and His Majesty Li Er led them back together.

Noticing that Li Yuanying was following a strange little boy, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help asking, "Whose child is this?"

Li Yuanying and Wei Shu knew each other very well. Seeing that Wei Shu was seen by His Majesty Li Er, he was not afraid, and said with a playful smile: "Brother, guess!"

His Majesty Li Er scolded: "I don't guess!"

Wei Zheng hurried forward and confessed: "Your Majesty, this is my... granddaughter."

His Majesty Li Er took a closer look, this child had red lips, white teeth, delicate features, and was really a girl.

Seeing Wei Shu dressed as a man, His Majesty Li Er thought of Gao Yang who was not able to come to Jiucheng Palace together, and said with a smile: "Which one is more handsome standing together, Wei Qing, your granddaughter or my Gao Yang!"

Wei Zheng glared at Wei Shu, and repeatedly accused him of lax control.

His Majesty Li Er revealed the matter with a smile, then looked at Li Yuanying, and asked, "I heard that you don't put down the book recently, and you read it while eating, what did you read?"

Li Zhi hurriedly winked at Li Yuanying.

Although he doesn't know "Han Zi" very well, he also knows that most people don't like the law of Shang Han, and his father even directly said that "Shang Han's criminal law is the real government of Qingping"!

What his father meant was that in the era of Qingming and Taiping, the harsh criminal laws established by Shang Yang and Han Fei were bad governance, and Confucianism should be used to govern the world.

Li Yuanying didn't have so many scruples, and answered honestly: "I'm watching "Han Zi"."

His Majesty Li Er frowned upon hearing this. Isn't this kid studying "Book of Rites" and "Analects of Confucius"? Why did you go to watch "Han Zi" again

His Majesty Li Er started his army with Li Yuan as a young man, and it can be said that he conquered the world on horseback. The more so, His Majesty Li Er paid more attention to enlightenment after he came to power. He asked Fang Xuanling and the others to start drawing up the law of chastity, and at the same time relaxed the trial standards and minimized serious crimes.

His Majesty Li Er even did a very famous thing a few years ago: he had more than 200 condemned prisoners released to go home for the New Year, and let them come back to be tortured next year. In the second year, more than 200 death row prisoners came back!

His Majesty Li Er pardoned these death row prisoners on the spot, expressing that they had a heart of repentance and could give them another chance.

From this set of operations, it can be seen that His Majesty Li Er believes that "Han Zi" is not suitable for governing a peaceful world, and he prefers "ruling the country with virtue"!

His Majesty Li Er looked pale, and asked Li Yuanying: "Have you finished reading it? What do you think?"

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: It doesn't matter which family it is, as long as it looks good, I will watch it! ! !

Note: The words were swallowed, I don't remember what was commented! ! ! The content related to "Han Feizi" mainly comes from Baidu Encyclopedia! His Majesty Li Er's comment comes from "Wei Zheng Gong's Remonstrance Record". It is said that Wei Daxie copied a record of his remonstrance before retiring, and asked the historian to record it. Later, His Majesty Li Er knew about it. Angry, he said, I treat you like a mirror, but you are stepping on me! ! ! And then did something big (no
