Xu Fenglei was slightly startled.
"Going to ride horses on the grassland? This can be said to be a short-term goal."
He said,
"It's just like traveling. Going horseback riding on the grassland can be regarded as a tourism project. It can be easily achieved and cannot be regarded as an ambition."
"Cheng Qian, you may have misunderstood the meaning of ambition. Think again."
Li Chengqian lowered his head.
"My child... my child can't think of it."
He whispered,
"My kid just wants to ride horses on the grassland... and eat roasted whole lamb or something."
"If the child can graze freely like the prairie chief, the child will feel very good. Others, others..."
Xu Fenglei's expression suddenly became serious.
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly, glanced at his master cautiously, and said timidly:
"The child has no ambition and has disappointed the master..."
He also knows that he should have a lofty ambition! As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he should have it!
But the fact is that he really didn't... his only idea was to go to the grassland and gallop around.
He once imagined that if he were not the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but just a chief of the grassland, he would only need to graze cattle and ride horses every day... how happy it would be.
Of course, he was ashamed every time he had this thought.
Li Lizhi wanted to help the world by hanging a pot, so that there would be no patients in the world who had difficulty seeking medical treatment.
Li Tai must gather his strength to compile books and leave several masterpieces for the Tang Dynasty and the world, which will last forever.
Li Ke even has the ideal of governing the country!
And myself...
Not even as good as my younger brothers and sisters...
Especially Li Ke, he felt that he was completely crushed by Li Ke!
"No no."
Xu Fenglei smiled, patted Li Chengqian's head and said,
"Master can understand you."
"You have always been good at learning, and you have many excellent qualities."
"But there is indeed something missing...but it doesn't matter, it can be made up for."
He can completely understand Li Chengqian.
This child used to be very mentally healthy, and he was very open-minded in doing things and making decisions, and he followed an upright and upright path.
But since he contracted diabetes and had lingering illnesses on his feet, his mental condition has actually begun to change.
He became sensitive, introverted, and even had low self-esteem...even a little dark!
The more something is lacking, the more obsessed one becomes with it.
He has a foot disease, so he is more and more eager to ride a horse and gallop on the vast grassland!
From this, the idea of becoming a grassland chief naturally arose.
Don't let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty go and become the chief of the grassland!
Is this ridiculous?
It's a bit ridiculous, but also a bit pitiful.
"……How about this!"
Xu Fenglei pondered for a moment and said,
"Master will be going on a business trip to Bingzhou in a while."
"I told your father that you should come with me and gain some experience! By the way, let's go north again and take a stroll on the grassland."
"So, how about fulfilling your long-cherished wish?"
It is better to block than to open up!
Xu Fenglei's teaching methods have never been so tough.
Sure enough, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Really?" He raised his head suddenly.
"Of course it's true. When did master lie to you?"
Xu Fenglei stroked his head and said with a smile,
"When the time comes, I'll let you experience what it's like to be a chief!"
"Actually, the grassland is not as beautiful as you think. Master has been there, and the ground is full of cow and sheep dung. This one, that one. If you don't pay attention, you may step on the dung."
"It's troublesome to drink water, troublesome to take a bath, and there's wind and sand from time to time... Anyway, you'll know if you've been there."
This kid is still in the stage of beautiful fantasy.
It is necessary to pour cold water on him and lower his expectations slightly.
"Eh...that's it."
Li Chengqian felt a little disgusted, but he still clenched his fist and said firmly,
"However, even so, the child still has to go!"
"It's good to see something! My child..."
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Li Shimin in the hall and whispered:
"The child also wants to be a little free."
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"You brat, you want to get out of your father's control, right?"
He patted Li Chengqian on the head and said,
"Okay! Then I'll let you experience how ordinary people live."
"Yeah!" Li Chengqian nodded heavily.
The divine light in his eyes is back again!
He originally thought that Master would scold him, but he didn't expect that Master would actually say such words to him!
Li Chengqian's heart was warmed.
A ray of sunshine shone deep into his heart.
"Master, I want to go out and play too! Go out and play!"
Li Lizhi shouted.
Li Tai likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, so he has no interest in going out to play. If he has free time, he might as well read more books at home.
As for Li Ke, although he is also lively and active, he is more mature and reserved after all, and he is not too embarrassed to act coquettishly for his master.
"Why are you fooling around? Didn't you have enough fun when you went to Fengchan before?"
Xu Fenglei laughed and cursed,
"Don't mess around!"
When Li Lizhi heard this, she immediately pouted.
"Feng Chan just rushes along the road and then climbs the mountain...it's not interesting at all!"
She said dissatisfiedly,
"What I want is to play! I want to play something interesting and exciting!"
Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.
"You are also a careless master. If you want to play, go to your Grandpa Sun."
He said angrily,
"Your grandpa Sun goes into the Qinling Mountains all day long. That's so exciting! There are all kinds of poisonous snakes and tigers in there!"
"It will be fun and exciting for you!"
Li Lizhi was in high spirits after hearing this.
"Okay! Then I will tell Grandpa Sun tomorrow and ask him to take me to play in the Qinling Mountains!"
she said excitedly.
Xu Fenglei: "..."
你孙爷爷要不是疼爱你，高低得揍你一顿！
"Okay, free time, I'll go see your father grade the papers as a teacher."
He stood up and said.
…
In the main hall, on the desk, Li Shimin was concentrating on reviewing the examination papers.
Wow.
Xu Fenglei picked up a few marked copies and started reading.
"There is some real material, but not much. Giving it 80 points is almost enough, but giving 90 points is a bit too high."
"Well, the score for this one could be a little higher. Anyway, I really like it. I can give it 80 points."
"This one... is not bad! Why is the score so low just because the handwriting is ugly? Your Majesty, you have to know that not every candidate can have a good calligraphy teacher. Some farm children can read and are very thoughtful. It’s not easy anymore, why are we still so harsh on them?”
Snapped!
Li Shimin put down the ink pen in his hand.
"Are you the emperor or am I the emperor? How about you come?"
He said unhappily,
"Stop chirping like a fly, it's too noisy!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
"Then I'm also the examiner! I'm not just a proctor. I also have the right to speak and make suggestions about these examination papers!"
"It's really...hum!"
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it gently.
"Your mother's sincerity offends me, right?"
Li Shimin cursed and said,
"I know I quit smoking, but I'm still hanging around here! Come on, smoke, go out, don't let me smell it!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"Your Majesty, we are training your willpower. Your willpower is not strong enough."
He took a nice sip, handed it over, and said,
"Take one bite, just one bite."
"It won't be the same next time."
Li Shimin pushed away with a look of disgust.
"It's all covered in your saliva, I don't want it."
He said,
"Pinch it, let's get down to business!"
Xu Fenglei stopped teasing him, put out the cigarette and put it back in his pocket.
"Your Majesty, how long will it take for the assessment to be completed? Let me discuss something with you."
he said.
Li Shimin glanced at him.
"Hurry, there are still three or five more."
He said suspiciously,
"What do you want to discuss with me?"
"You read the papers first, you don't want to delay this important matter." Xu Fenglei said with a smile.
Li Shimin became more and more suspicious.
"It's definitely not good..."
After muttering something in his mouth, he continued to grade the papers unhurriedly.
After a while.
Wow.
The last test paper was marked, and Li Shimin also showed a smile and stretched.
"How is it? Do you have many talents?"
Xu Fenglei asked.
"Heh...not bad, not bad."
Li Shimin nodded and smiled,
"The following pictures are all of good quality."
"Judging from these examination papers alone, there can be at least thirty people who can be selected as officials by me!"
"It seems that care was taken when selecting auxiliary machines. Almost half of the sixty people are available!"
"but--"
He paused for a moment and naturally lit a cigarette.
Xu Fenglei didn't say anything.
After all, if a smoker quits smoking, it means quitting for half a day or even a few hours.
Afterwards, I naturally took one. It has already formed a conditioned reflex and I am used to it.
"Whether he is truly talented or not, I have to ask him personally before I can find out."
Li Shimin said,
"I will examine these twenty-four Jinshi scholars one by one! Then I will select the best among them and select them as the number one scholar, the second best scholar, and the third most handsome scholar!"
"what do you think?"
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"Okay, it's always better to investigate more carefully."
He acknowledged,
"These people are selected by His Majesty, and they will all be officials of the imperial court in the future, either as officials in the court or as members abroad."
"The way to appoint officials is to consider their talents and arrange suitable positions."
Li Shimin nodded, deeply convinced.
"yes……"
He took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled,
"Anyway, the imperial examination system is indeed unique!"
"He can help me recruit a group of talents! Maybe some of them will be fake, but overall, it is a good official selection system!"
"Listen clearly, you must continue to push forward, improve the imperial examination, and completely form a system!"
"In this way, all the heroes in the world will be in my possession! Why worry about the imperial court having no talents available?"
What was most important during the Zhenguan period?
Talent!
As long as there are talents in all aspects, it will be much easier for him as an emperor to govern!
"Okay, I will study it."
Xu Fenglei said,
"In fact, the most important thing is to form a system for cultivating talents, starting from childhood!"
"Let those talented children enter schools like Datang Academy early. After they graduate, they will be given the qualifications for the imperial examination."
"They, together with the wise men and women from the wild, will take part in the imperial examination together. Only then will the world's talents be under control!"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"well!"
He praised highly,
"Just do as you say! Leave it to you, I can rest assured!"
"By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?"
Xu Fenglei’s ideas can be implemented every time, and the results are pretty good!
Naturally, he becomes more trusting! Willing to give it full power!
Xu Fenglei sighed softly.
"That's it. I discovered a problem. Chengqian's psychology has changed somewhat."
Li Shimin's expression became serious and his body straightened up.
"What...what happened to him?"
Xu Fenglei took a puff of cigarette.
"That's it..."
He briefly repeated to Li Shimin what the children had just said.
Of course, he spoke more tactfully about Li Chengqian's words.
If Li Shimin knew that this boy wanted to become a chief on the grasslands instead of being the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would have to be skinned!
However, even with the tactful modification, Li Shimin's face still darkened.
boom!
"This useless thing!"
He said angrily,
"As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't even have any ambition!"
"Not even as beautiful as she is!"
"Li Ke is much stronger than him! What did he do?! Huh?"
"No, I have to give him a lesson so that he can clear his mind and stop confusing me!"
Having said that, Li Er actually wanted to get up and teach his son a lesson!
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Xu Fenglei grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve and said,
"Don't curse, scolding won't solve the problem!"
"When you continue to scold me, you will feel better, but the child will feel even more confused!"
"It is important to know that blocking is worse than opening up. Find the crux of the problem and resolve it. This is the real way to solve the problem!"
After his good words, Li Shimin snorted coldly and did not take out his belt.
"When I was like him, I already had the ambition to swallow up the world!"
Li Er said unhappily,
"Why doesn't he look like me at all! This boy... doesn't look like Guanyin, who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside!"
"Who does it look like!"
Li Shimin felt agitated in his heart.
The biggest headache for a capable emperor is that his heir is not as good as himself, let alone far inferior!
"It's not a matter of who you look like, but something happened midway."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"The previous Cheng Qian was not like this."
"Have you noticed that since he developed foot disease, his whole person has undergone some subtle changes?"
"You must not be able to notice it, because even I only suddenly realized it today -"
"This kid is feeling very stressed."
Li Shimin was slightly startled.
"high pressure?"
He said,
"What kind of pressure can he have? I haven't even let him try to govern! Is this a lot of pressure? It's still far from it!"
"If you have to deal with government affairs, it would be so stressful! I would lose my hair!"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
Li Er is good at everything, but he really just educates children.
The evaluation is...
What a piece of shit!
