After retreating from the court, Fang Zheng rushed to the East Palace.
I haven't seen the prince in court for the past two days, so I don't know what the mystery is.
At present, the matter of the emperor's grandson's enrollment has been completed for him. When he meets the emperor's grandson, he will inform him by the way.
When I arrived at the East Palace, I followed the maid's guidance to the study.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard a burst of curses coming from inside.
"Why can't you memorize this little thing?! Your father and I were able to memorize it when I was three years old!"
Then a loud cry came.
Fang Zhengyi showed a smile.
Okay...I’m going to teach my son myself, pretending to be more like him than me!
"Your Highness, are you in there?"
"Old Fang? Come in!"
As soon as Fang Zheng pushed the door open, he first saw Li Yu sitting in front of the small table and still crying.
Next to him was Li Yuanzhao with a cold face and a stick.
Seeing that he wanted to beat the children, Fang Zheng flew towards them one by one and shouted exaggeratedly: "Don't hit the emperor's grandson! If you want to hit, just hit me!"
Li Yu, who was still crying, stopped for a moment, glanced at Fang Zhengyi, and then continued to cry.
Li Yuanzhao slammed the stick: "Don't hold me back, this traitor is going to piss me off to death!"
"You can't even shoot, you can't teach me how to understand! You keep crying!"
"Ah~~~~~" Li Yu still cried loudly.
Fang Zheng frowned, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to slap the emperor's grandson on the mouth several times.
"Ah~~~~Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow."
The cries turned into sobs….
Seeing that he stopped crying, Fang Zheng quickly pulled Li Yuanzhao towards the corner of the room and asked, "What's going on, Your Highness, didn't you say you don't want your grandson to be like you when you were a child? Why are you beating the child?"
Li Yuanzhao sighed: "I don't know either...but I always feel uncomfortable when I see my child idle, so I feel better if I hit him. Is that true of you, Lao Fang?"
"..., kind of, just send me to school, out of sight, out of mind."
"By the way, why are you here?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"Come to give His Highness the good news. Today His Majesty has agreed that the Emperor's grandson will go to educate talents."
Li Yuanzhao was overjoyed. He pulled Fang Zhengyi and walked to Li Yu again and said, "Yu'er, do you understand that you will study with Master Fang from now on? He is your mentor. From now on, you will follow Master Fang to educate talents."
Li Yu raised his head and looked at Fang Zhengyi again, his face shining with hope.
He didn't see Fang Zhengyi too many times, but he smiled every time, especially when he helped him hold back the stick just now.
Now I felt so good that I nodded excitedly.
"Hello, Master Fang!"
Fang Zheng nodded and smiled: "Your Highness will follow me to educate talents from now on. Chen Yu and the others will be there. You can study hard together from now on."
"Yes!" Li Yu nodded heavily, full of joy.
If you can escape the torture of your own father, you can go anywhere!
Seeing Li Yu lowering his head and looking at the book again, Fang Zheng looked at Li Yuanzhao and said, "Your Highness, what did you say about shooting? Why should the emperor and grandson shoot at such a young age, if you are not afraid of hurting him?"
"I made a small gun for him, but this kid can't shoot accurately. I just taught him some ways to govern the country, and he was talking nonsense. I asked him how to educate the people. What do you think he said to me? He said nothing. Post the book on the street for the people to read!" Li Yuanzhao said angrily.
"Teach him! He can't understand, but he can't learn. If you teach him clearly, I will obey you!"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "I'm too impatient to eat hot tofu, so be patient and I'll do it."
After saying that, Fang Zheng bent down and said gently: "Your Highness, how do you think we should educate the people?"
Li Yu glanced at Li Yuanzhao timidly, then saw Fang Zhengyi's smiling face and plucked up the courage to say, "What I said is right? Virtue and ethics are written in the book. Can't the people understand it themselves after reading it?"
"What if the people are illiterate?"
"Then find someone to preach virtue and conduct on the streets every day."
Fang Zhengyi encouraged: "Your Highness said it well, but the sage once said that the world knows that beauty is beautiful, and it is evil, and everyone knows that good is good, and it is not good. Do you understand what it means?"
"I understand. People in the world know what goodness and beauty are, and ugliness and evil are born."
"The emperor's grandson is indeed smart." Fang Zhengyi encouraged, "Since you understand this truth, you should know that if the court blindly preaches moral conduct, the people will soon know what is not moral and what is evil, and then bad things will happen. trust."
"Why?" Li Yu was confused.
"Because the court also makes mistakes, when the people find that his words and deeds are inconsistent, they will have doubts in their hearts. Things in this world seem to be like this, both antagonistic and interdependent."
"This is what the sage said about existence and non-being, difficulty and difficulty complement each other, long and short, high and low, sound and sound, and front and back."
Li Yu became more and more confused, shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Fang Zhengyi said patiently: "Then let me put it in a way that you can understand. If someone wants to show that he is very powerful outside, but has no ability, he will usually brag all day that he has a great friend, or his ancestor is a high-ranking official. If Without these, he can still boast that he has a strong motherland and wise ancestors.”
“But none of the things he brags about were obtained through hard work, so not only can’t he shine a light on his face, but people who understand can see through it at a glance, and other people who can’t see clearly will come into contact with him sooner or later. You will discover his empty nature, which makes him look down upon even more, that’s the reason.”
Li Yu said: "I understand this, but I still think there is no problem in preaching moral conduct. What is the difference between the two?"
Fang Zheng said together: "These two things are the same thing. If the court wants to rule the world with virtue, we must first be virtuous ourselves. As long as we do it ourselves, others will see it and regard it as an example to imitate. This is inaction, using Educate all sentient beings in a silent way.”
Li Yuanzhao stood aside and laughed.
Lao Fang's words are as good as ever. It will save you worry if you leave your son to him!
"I seem to understand!" Li Yu thought.
Fang Zhengyi said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will understand it later. We are not good at it, but we have the most powerful weapons in the world as our teacher."
"What weapon?" Li Yu's eyes were full of curiosity.
Fang Zheng opened his mouth and pointed inward, then said, "This is the weapon."
"Tongue? Can the tongue be used as a weapon?"
"Yes, tongue." Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, there are many tribes in this world, and the leaders of the tribes are called chiefs. It is very simple to become a chief. It is not that you have the strongest force, but that you have the most control. Vocabulary people.”
"This is the case in any country in the world. People who master vocabulary and even the ability to create words will always be at the top. Changing a word in a paragraph can free you from responsibilities and even determine your life or death. This is the most powerful weapon! Do you want to Don’t want to learn?”
"I want to learn!!" Li Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Although I still don’t quite understand it, I feel it’s pretty cool.
Fang Zheng glanced at Li Yuanzhao proudly, and then said with a hearty smile: "Okay, you will study hard with my teacher from now on, and I guarantee that you will learn it thoroughly!"
