Tang Sufan couldn't help but stare. This boy's vision was a little different from those of ordinary people in this era.
Tang Sufan asked slowly: "However, everyone has a different 'look' after all. What do you think...the talent and coquettishness you yearn for should be like?"
Li Chongyi frowned, not expecting Tang Sufan to ask this, but it was also a question he wanted to ask.
He pondered slightly, thinking about an answer in his mind, but he was a little unclear about it. Although his voice was childish, it was also somewhat thoughtful and calm as he spoke slowly.
"I hope that I can apply what I have learned, and that what I have learned can lead to greatness...Rather than talk about benevolence and filial piety in the classics, and preach benevolence and righteousness, but do useless things... Just like one of your poems, Brother Fan, I would rather be a centurion. Better than being a scholar..."
Only then did Tang Sufan become serious. This boy probably already had the inkling of the idea of studying things and understanding things clearly.
Although this kid seems to be carefree and has no right way to go.
But his thinking is already at a higher level than the average scholar in this era.
Tang Sufan thought for a moment, then asked with a tentative smile: "But why don't you like Confucius and Mencius? Benevolence and filial piety are indeed the foundation of the world?"
Li Chongyi sighed, seemed a little worried, and said softly.
"My father asked me to study since I was a child, and even asked me not to enter martial arts. Although I think studying is useful, I really couldn't continue studying after two years..."
"The writings of Confucius and Mencius, the Four Books and the Five Classics, are of course good and correct."
"But I doubt that these few sentences are really so good and correct?"
"Are they really worthy of everyone in the world burying their heads in the pile of old papers, expounding and explaining them one after another? Using this as a basis and repeating it again and again?"
Tang Sufan was slightly startled, and then laughed softly, but it was himself who laughed.
I thought I was very accurate in judging people, at least during the time I came to Datang.
I have never been wrong about a person's character and character.
But I didn't expect that I would be wrong about a second-generation official who seemed to be the simplest and most naive...
But Tang Sufan also knew that the reason why Li Xiaogong did not let this boy practice martial arts seriously was Li Xiaogong's own unique consideration.
Tang Sufan looked at Li Chongyi seriously and said softly.
"What you should be thinking about is... Scholars should have a different path to walk. Scholars should have a different look. Scholars don't necessarily have to be benevolent, but they can also be useful for the livelihood of the people..."
Li Chongyi, who was thinking about how to express what he wanted, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly!
"Yes, that's exactly what it means!"
For the first time, Li Chongyi felt that he had met someone who understood him and someone who could express what he wanted to say clearly!
Li Chongyi looked into the distance with an excited expression and said.
"I want to know that only in the higher and farther scenery can we learn better things and show different talents and style! Last night, I saw what I yearn for in Brother Fan!"
Tang Sufan chuckled. The song and poem he used to show off allowed this boy to see a different literati style.
After coming to Datang for so long, this is the first time that I have seen the effects from myself on the people around me.
Tang Sufan shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, maybe I have seen and understood more than you...but that is not related to literary talent. Maybe you are overthinking."
Although this kid hasn't figured it out yet, it is already rare to have such thoughts.
But what I have shown cannot be achieved through literary talent alone.
That is the promotion of the Chinese era, the achievements on the shoulders of Chinese culture, the accumulation of the age of knowledge explosion, and the presentation of different ideological colors...
It is impossible for people of this era to really understand.
But Li Chongyi looked serious and said, "Brother Fan, can you accept me as your disciple?"
Tang Sufan suddenly looked stunned, a little surprised.
"Take you in? But I don't know what to teach you? I don't know how to teach you?"
Li Chongyi's eyes became more intense and he said without hesitation: "I want to learn Brother Fan's music, I want to learn Brother Fan's unique literary talent!"
"Forehead……"
Tang Sufan couldn't help but subconsciously turned his head and touched the bridge of his nose.
song……
I can only speak a little guitar and know a few small instruments, but they are not of this era.
Although he can arrange lyrics and compose music, he doesn't know if the songs in his heart are understandable in this era.
Literary talent...
The tattoos on my body are all on my back, and I may not know when the inventory will be empty...
When it comes to how to compose poems and articles, he himself is confused.
At that moment, Tang Sufan quickly waved his hand and found a reason.
"Let's forget it, the prince won't agree..."
Although he agreed with the child's idea, he didn't want to cause any trouble.
It would be better for him to properly confer the title of Duke of his country and let a prince's son worship him as his disciple.
He really wasn't sure and didn't have the time to teach people how they wanted to be.
"Brother Fan, don't worry! All the teachers in the house have been driven away by me. If my father knew that I was willing to study, he would definitely agree!"
After Li Chongyi finished speaking, seeing Tang Sufan's hesitant expression, he knelt down with a kick!
He kowtowed directly and said in a loud voice: "Brother Fan, please accept me as your disciple!"
This scared the maid who was passing by not far away and was stunned!
Some even dropped the things in their hands to the ground without realizing it...
My little prince, who is unruly and mischievous every day, actually kneels down to others in his own house in broad daylight!
this……
Tang Sufan was so frightened that he raised his eyebrows fiercely and was stunned!
This kid is really a cruel person!
Tang Sufan hurriedly tried to pull the boy up, but when he bent down, he couldn't do it and his back hurt.
He quickly straightened up with a breath of cold air in his mouth, and could only continue to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, this kind of drama in the TV series would happen to me one day.
After several pulls, Tang Sufan sighed in his heart: This kid is only fourteen or fifteen years old, how can he be so stubborn.
But in the end, this kid was still very stubborn and could only say helplessly.
"Go ahead and tell your father. If your father agrees, I will accept you."
I was rescued by Li Xiaogong yesterday, and I still owe him a favor.
At worst, just accept him and teach him something different.
This little thing in my stomach is still enough. At worst, I will also have the support of the system, which is very scary.
Having said that, it would be worthwhile if Li Xiaogong's son became his apprentice.
But to accept the prince's son, the father will eventually have to agree.
Otherwise, agreeing for no reason would be a source of controversy. After all, my current physical age is only seventeen years old.
"really?"
Li Chongyi raised his head with bright eyes and asked quickly.
Tang Sufan nodded: "Seriously, as long as your father agrees, I will teach you something you want to learn. Although I don't know much, I still know a little bit about the world."
Tang Sufan couldn't bend down, so he simply straightened his body at an angle of 45 degrees, a standard angle for showing off.
And he lightly said "self-effacing".
Since this kid sincerely wants to become a master, let's start to establish the demeanor of a master.
After all, in this era, the status of students and teachers is not like that of later generations. Students must really obey their teachers and respect their teachers.
At this time, there is a young prince as a disciple, and his life will be more pleasant in the future.
