Chapter 107: The Prince is back(2/2)

Their understanding of war is much more thorough than that of ordinary literati.

What killed 180 people? What is this? Obviously, the prince who has been in the Eastern Palace for a long time cannot understand it.

When Li Shimin heard the civil and military ministers burst into laughter... As a father, he felt as if his heart was stabbed.

In fact, he didn't want to depose the prince. Li Chengqian was to some extent very much like himself. Except for being young and a little reckless, his mind was no different.

This is my eldest son and heir whom I have worked hard to cultivate for many years.

How could I easily depose him?

However, Li Chengqian actually made such a fool in front of all civil and military officials. How can such a prince convince the public in the future? In the future... how can he suppress these famous all civil and military officials after a hundred years?

Li Shimin's face turned slightly red, and then his tiger's eyes opened: "So...what is the head level?"

"The son-in-law did not get the head."

"Haha..." Li Shimin was not angry that Li Chengqian had gone to Xiazhou to kill thieves. What he was angry about was precisely this guy's ugly behavior. He kept saying that he killed thieves but had no head. Isn't this a crime of deceiving the monarch?

"At that time, the son-in-law..."

"Enough!" Li Shimin was furious and slapped the table: "At this point, do you still want to fool me?"

Li Chengqian was so scared that he didn't dare to let out.

At this time, all the officials looked tragic. It is rare for His Majesty to scold the prince in this way.

Seeing this, Lu Deming and Kong Yingda immediately left the work and said, "Please calm down your anger. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is young and ignorant. This is a problem with my teaching, but... just..."

Kong Yingda continued: "The prince has always been pure and kind, but since this year, his mind has become increasingly different. He has not been studying in the Eastern Palace for a long time, but Chengji went to Erpigou. I have heard that... Chen Zhengtai, the Duke of Erpigou, talks with him every day, and even... I have heard that... Chen Zhengtai gave the prince many books. The prince recited them all night, and was distorted day and night... I... I see it in my eyes and hurt in my heart. At this time, the prince is learning real knowledge. If he ignores the Four Books and Five Classics and advocates miscellaneous studies at this time, he abandons the great scholars of the Eastern Palace as if they are a waste of money, but are with the Duke of Erpigou County, this is not a blessing for the country..."

He said it thoroughly after much painstaking thought.

The prince has changed recently, but the reason for the change has nothing to do with the great scholars in the Eastern Palace.

The reason why the prince is like this is because he did not study hard in the Eastern Palace.

The person who misled the prince was not someone else, but his Majesty's disciple...

After hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent.

All the officials nodded secretly.

Most of the people in this palace are Confucian officials who do not study the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are scattering with those surnamed Chen. You don’t think about what the Chen surnamed Chen did in the past. Will there be a good result if you mess with him?

Chen Zhengtai probably expected someone to blame him.

He felt speechless. The ancients were not kind. When Li Chengqian ran to Erpigou all day long and insisted on scattering with me, and I couldn't even get rid of it, why didn't you say that?

Now, everything is on my head. Why don’t you say that the prince’s father is disrespectful to the old man and gave birth to such a ridiculous guy?

"Nonsense." Someone shouted loudly and stood up, but it was Chen Jiye!

Chen Jiye was anxious. What did he want to do? He wanted to plant all the x-pots on my son?

Chen Zhengtai was still calm, he was speculating on Li Shimin's thoughts.

But as soon as he saw his father stand up, he had to react immediately: "I dare to ask Mr. Kong, what is this? How can I mislead His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you need to explain it clearly?"

Kong Yingda glanced at Chen Zhengtai.

The so-called companions are enemies.

Although Chen Zhengtai thought he was not a fellow traveler with Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda recognized this.

Kong Yingda said lightly: "Isn't the consequences caused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today the result of the misleading of Erpigou County Duke?"

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "What consequences?"

Kong Yingda said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince...he went to Xiazhou without authorization?"

Chen Zhengtai said, "Is it guilty to go to Xiazhou?"

Kong Yingda said: "He is the prince, how can he..."

"In ancient times, all the wise kings still had the imperial guards in person. Why can't the prince protect the country and the people?"

"You are confusing right and wrong!"

Kong Yingda was unwilling to debate with Chen Zhengtai. He felt that this would defamate his reputation, but Chen Zhengtai was entangled and the officials were watching the wall. However, His Majesty did not speak silently. If he did not respond at this time, it would be impossible!

So Kong Yingda said, "This is not about protecting the country and protecting the people, this is nonsense."

Chen Zhengtai answered calmly: "The Turks attacked, murdered and robbed, and the prince's attacked back, why did it become a mess? My mentor... In order to pacify the world, he also fought everywhere. Is this also wrong?"

"This is a different responsibility. The prince's responsibility is to read and understand the truth."

"Reading to learn is to understand the truth, which means lying in the East Palace with a pampered life, reading aloud about how to be a gentleman? If you turn a blind eye to the slaughter of the weak, ignore the people who are robbed, but still have the heart to read, then I think such people will not understand any great truth."

"Chen Zhengtai...you are deliberately turning black and white."

"How do I turn black and white?"

"The prince's behavior will not benefit the world."

"Is it good to read and understand the truth?"

After a while of tit-for-tat, Kong Yingda was so angry that she was about to vomit blood!

He had never seen such a messy person before. After asking a lot of questions, it seemed that everything had returned to the starting point!

Kong Yingda said: "In ancient times, those who want to be virtuous in the world should first govern the country; those who want to be victorious must first govern the country; those who want to be victorious must first cultivate their bodies; those who want to be victorious must first correct their hearts; those who want to be virtuous must first be sincere in their intentions; those who want to be sincere in their intentions, first obtain knowledge, and seek knowledge to investigate things. Have you heard of this?"

Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Kong Yingda was stunned.

I have told you so many great reasons, but you have never heard of it?

Of course, he could not explain patiently to Chen Zhengtai: "If you want to rule the world, you must first be honest and sincere, and study."

"Oh." Chen Zhengtai nodded, and suddenly realized: "So is Kong Gong sincere?"

“This…is natural.”

"Then Kong Gong is honest and sincere, and has cultivated himself, he should have become a master. When the Turks attacked, why did Gong Kong read so many books but still read?"

Kong Yingda: "..."

"Didn't it mean that you have to read first. Only after reading can you rule the world and protect the country and the people? Kong Gong has read so many books, why is it still reading now?"
