"Cymbidium..."
Li Shimin looked at the familiar face with melancholy eyes. Even though he knew that the smile was not for himself, he was still happy and fascinated. In a daze, it seemed to once again see the beautiful and gentle woman who made him dream.
Duke Wu's pupils shrank, so shocked that he quickly interrupted: "The emperor!"
Li Shimin woke up in a trance, turned his head and looked at Wu Gonggong with an unpleasant look. The latter bowed apologetically and made a meaningful look. Li Shimin suddenly realized that the reproaching eyes disappeared and he was completely awakened.
Li Kuan was immersed in the atmosphere created by the poem at first glance, and he felt a sigh of emotion: "Sure enough, recitation of poems is the most suitable for me!... I wonder if the orator can enjoy this age?..."
Poetry is really not what Li Kuan is good at, but when he sees that everyone is intoxicated when he recites the works of his predecessors, he can't help but feel a little proud. Doesn’t poetry recitation just need such an atmosphere? Orators also need to mobilize the emotions of the audience and walk into their inner world to truly approach them.
At this time, Li Kuan had the illusion of being lonely and admiring himself!
"His Royal Highness, the minister has a question, I don't know if His Highness can solve the puzzle for me?" It took a long time for everyone to wake up from the artistic conception just now. Everyone had a little bit of emotion on their faces. Wei Zheng asked him. There are too many doubts to ask Li Kuan.
"Zheng Guogong wanted to ask, why do I write poetry?" Li Kuan asked with a smile, Wei Zheng nodded in surprise, "Because I have a good teacher!" Li Kuan silently added, "If it wasn't for my memory Not bad, how can I remember the poems that I recite when I was in school? Reading is very useful!"
"Who is your teacher?" Wei Zheng is very curious about what kind of person can teach such students. He is also one of the teachers of Prince Li Chengqian, but Wei Zheng asked himself that he did not have this ability, even if Li Chengqian did a lot of foolish things. Wei Zheng's persuasion was also invalid, and finally gave up.
"Zheng Guogong has seen him!" Li Kuan smiled, and Wei Zheng looked at Li Kuan suspiciously. "My teacher is one of the housekeepers in my house. Maybe everyone here should know my teacher. Although he has never been willing to admit it. I am his disciple. In my heart, he is my teacher."
"Zhao Qian!" At the same time, the name quickly appeared in everyone's minds, suddenly remembering that when Li Kuan was fighting with Li Tai, Li Ke and others during the day, Li Tai seemed to have mentioned what Zhao Qian taught. They didn't care much about anything. If Wei Zheng hadn't mentioned it suddenly, they would have forgotten everything.
Who is Zhao Qian? No one here doesn't know. At the beginning, he followed the emperor all the way, regardless of whether he fought in the South or the North, he followed life and death. Moreover, Zhao Qian is also half of the teacher of today's emperor Li Shimin, and he has also studied knowledge under his sect.
It's just that Zhao Qian is not greedy for power and is willing to continue to serve Li Yuan. This is why he did not choose to enter the court as an official, and his talents are obvious to all. Most of the edicts left by the emperor were drafted and written by Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian's reputation was not much better than that of Kong Yingda.
"If this is the case, then Elder Zhao turned a blind eye to His Highness's deeds and never persuaded him?"
Wei Zheng asked Li Kuan earnestly, and the words implicitly mentioned Li Kuan's eating, drinking, and gambling outside. Wouldn't it be a waste of it if it continued like this? Isn't it a waste of so many years of hard work for such a talented person to go astray
"Everyone’s thoughts are different, and everyone’s path is different. We can’t force him to take this path just because I think the right path is right. Because we can only walk on our own. We take the wrong path. You can turn your head back, but if you think wrong, it's really forever."
Li Kuan did not directly answer Wei Zheng’s question. Instead, he said something irrelevant. Wei Zheng listened carefully. "The teacher didn’t say it, but knew that some things were useless. It’s better to let me go. , It’s not too late to say something wrong. Because this road is my own choice, and I will bear all the consequences."
"That said, if something really goes wrong, the teacher will naturally not let it go. This is the way the teacher taught me how to do things. If I blindly follow the rules and regulations, wouldn't my life be in vain for decades? ?"
Li Kuan's remarks were completely apostate in the eyes of others, but there was no error in what he said, and everyone could not find a reason to refute it. As Li Kuan said, the path is his own choice. You can turn back if you make a mistake. As long as your thoughts are not going astray, you can still change. The most important thing is that Li Kuan uses his actions to silence those who want to refute.
Wei Zheng sighed, "Sure enough, Mr. Zhao is even better!"
Few people really admire Wei Zheng in his life, but Zhao Qian admires Wei Zheng very much. It would be a good story if it were spread out. Wei Zheng was a well-known upright person, a minister who didn't give anyone face, and dared to speak out his heart bluntly.
Even in the face of the current emperor, Wei Zheng criticized him mercilessly, even if he was admonishing to death. We hadn't known how many times Wei Zheng had died if it hadn't been for Empress Longsun's help to speak for several times. This is because of his so straightforward temperament that there are very few who can really speak in the court.
At the same time, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian thoughtfully, and he could see the failure of his education. At the beginning, Li Shimin wanted to train Li Chengqian to become a great talent. Regardless of whether Li Chengqian was willing to impose too much pressure on him, even the important officials in the imperial court could not teach Li Chengqian correctly, which caused the gap between father and son to become deeper and deeper.
Seeing Li Chengqian who had finally recovered his strength, Li Shimin reflected on whether he had done something wrong in the first place. The eldest grandson Wuji, who has been silent for a long time, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness said that the veteran would not agree with him. As a teacher, how can he make students progress if he does not point out the students' mistakes? Sometimes the wrong path is forever, and there is no chance of turning back. What if there is no such time?"
Li Kuan replied neither overbearing nor overbearing: "Zhao Guogong said that it is the teacher's mistakes that can let the students know where the mistakes are in order to make progress. Therefore, my teacher often says that if there is no wrong thinking, even if the path is wrong, it will not make progress. If you are too wrong, you can still turn your head back. If you take a path that cannot be turned back, then you can't say that the method of education is wrong, but everyone's choices are different."
"Choose?" Everyone looked at Li Kuan in confusion and waited for his answer.
"There are many choices in life, and some choices determine our life. The choice is not a waste of effort, so the choice is very important. If you can't correctly judge which is more important, avoid the important and make the choice, then the natural choice is wrong; if you know there is no way. To retreat, resolutely choose to go, stubbornness is on the one hand and sometimes compelling, this is a dialectical question."
Li Kuan answered fluently, calmly discussing education, choices and other issues with everyone, and even ideological education, like a seasoned politician. Not only did he have no stage fright, but he had a fierce debate with everyone, and a good moon appreciation event. It has become a monthly debate, Li Shimin is very willing to have such a trend of hairpins, not only did not stop the interested listen to it with relish. (End of this chapter)
