"My name is Li Ke. I have felt that I am not an ordinary person since I was a child. After all, I have a father who was born in the 1990s and was poisoned by novels for forty years.
There is a mother born in the 2000s who has been tortured by mobile games for thirty years. If I want to tell you how they met when they were more than ten years apart, forget it. I won’t tell you. It has nothing to do with my experience anyway.
What I want to say today is that I, Li Ke, traveled through time and returned to the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, I am sitting in the Hongwen Hall with a group of brats, receiving education in Confucianism.
The old man in front of me, with a fanatical look on his face, spitting like crazy, and lamenting the infinite wisdom of the sages when he talks about wonderful things, is named Kong Yingda. He is a direct descendant of Confucius. I don’t know how many generations of descendants there are, but he is one of the eighteen bachelors of His Majesty Li Er. The Imperial College is in charge, which is called Jijiu for short.
In any case, it was an existence that emperors and aristocratic families of all dynasties did not dare to mess with. "
Looking at the three-year-old baby Li Zhi sitting in the front row with a big snot bubble in his nose, Li Ke narrowed his eyes and fell into deep contemplation. Should he steal Li Zhi's little kid's kingdom in the future, or should he? Waiting for the prince and the King of Wei to fight, both sides were injured, and when they hugged Li Zhi's thigh, an angry voice came from above Li Ke's head.
"His Royal Highness, King of Shu, is it the old man's words that cannot reach His Highness's ears, or His Highness looks down on my Confucianism, which makes His Highness so sleepy."
Li Ke sighed deeply and thought to himself
"Forget it, let's wait until the crown prince and King Wei fall, and then hug Li Zhi's thigh tightly.
Looking at the group of veterans around His Majesty Li Er, Li Ke knew that he had no chance to get involved in that position, so he might as well be a free prince. "
Although he had made a decision in his heart, he still showed a look of fear on his face and said
"There was something unclear about Ke, so I fell into a trance. Please forgive me, sir."
Kong Yingda's face improved a little when he saw Li Ke saying this, and asked
"What's unknown?"
Li Ke sorted out his thoughts and said
"Mr. just said that the people can follow it, but not know it. What he means is that the people can be made to follow our way, but they cannot be made to know why we are doing it."
Kong Yingda twirled his beard and shook his head, very satisfied. After all, this meant that Li Ke had listened in class. Before Kong Yingda could even say a few words of praise, Li Ke continued to say
"But Confucius also said that one thrives on poetry, establishes oneself on etiquette, and succeeds on music. This is contrary to Confucius' thought of obscuring the people as explained by Mr.
If students are confused, please ask sir to clarify their doubts. "
Kong Yingda never thought that when he was in his fifties, he would be questioned about the principles he had learned for more than forty years.
But this was not a problem for Kong Yingda. After all, he was a direct relative of Confucius, so he smiled and said
"I am very happy that His Royal Highness the King of Shu can learn to think. In fact, the people in the People's Liberation Army refer to the common people, and the people we are concerned about are people who are useful to the country. They are two different groups."
"But Confucius also said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. He also founded a private school, recruited three thousand disciples, traveled to various countries, and spread his ideas. Isn't this just an attempt to educate all people and return the country to the system of rituals and music?
Otherwise, where would the thousands of scholars in this world come from? "
Kong Yingda was stunned by Li Ke's question. At this moment, he seemed to be struck by five thunders. The education he received since childhood told him that what Li Ke said was wrong, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt that what Li Ke said was right.
It was just a feeling without any reason or basis. For a moment, Kong Yingda couldn't think of a reason to refute it.
Looking at Kong Yingda who left Hongwen Hall in deep thought, Li Ke also fell into deep thought.
"Did I get into trouble again? Why should I say it again?"
Liangyi Palace, the largest staunch supporter of feudalism in the Tang Dynasty, the holder of the greatest imperial power, a military fanatic, Li Shimin, the first emperor through the ages, and Li Erdada.
He casually left the memorial on the desk, pinched his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat indifferent voice.
"Wang De, how are the princes doing at the Hongwen Pavilion?"
Wang De, who was standing aside, quickly bowed and said
"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that the princes performed very well, but..."
Hearing Wang De's hesitation, Li Erda's brows, which he had finally relaxed, wrinkled tightly together again, and he said in a cold voice
"Just what?"
Wang De couldn't hear the anger in Li Er's voice, and said softly
"I heard from the people below that His Highness the King of Shu has asked Mr. Kong."
Li Er raised his big eyebrows, and his frown slowly relaxed. His tone was not as cold as before, and he said
"what happened?"
Wang De told Li Er everything he knew, although Wang De said that these were all passed down by people below.
But as the eunuch in charge who has been with Li Er for decades, none of the little eunuchs below would dare to fool him, so they are basically the same as what he has seen.
After hearing the whole incident, Li Er raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said
"Ke'er is really similar to me in every aspect. Wang De, go call Ke'er over. I want to test it myself."
On the surface, Wang De bowed and exited the Liangyi Palace calmly, but he was a little surprised in his heart. After all, Li Er did the test in person, but the legitimate son was treated like a prince, a king of Yue, and a king of Jin who was raised by his side.
Wang De knew that there might be another prince who would catch Li Er's eye.
On the other side, Li Ke, who had not yet sorted out his thoughts and mentality, had just returned to the palace where he lived when he saw the young eunuch Wang Xi running in.
Seeing Wang Xi in a hurry, Li Ke asked doubtfully
"Wang Xi, what's wrong?"
Wang Xi quickly bowed and said
"Your Highness, the prince is here."
Li Ke was a little dazed when he heard the name Wang Eunuch. After all, he hadn't digested the memory in his mind. After a while, after Wang Xi's repeated summons, Li Ke remembered that Wang Eunuch was not the Wang Eunuch next to his cheap father. Virtue?
Thinking of this, Li Ke's heart thumped for no reason, thinking
"It's over. Kong Yingda goes to his father and accuses himself."
But on the surface he was quite calm and said
"Please come in, Your Majesty."
After a while, Wang Xi came in with Wang De. Before Wang De could speak, Li Ke spoke first.
"What kind of wind has brought the prince to my place? Wang Xi, show the tea to the prince. If you have anything to do, please sit down and talk slowly."
This is also a test by Li Ke. If there is something urgent, or if Li Er wants to question Li Ke, you can guess it by looking at Wang De's attitude.
But who is Wang De? He is an old goblin who has been with Li Erda for decades. How can he not see what Li Ke is thinking? Not to mention that Li Ke is an ordinary support teacher from modern times. Even the original Li Ke, He has no right to play tricks on Wang De either.
Wang De said with a smile
"Thank you for your kindness, His Majesty the King of Shu. However, His Majesty invites you to go to Liangyi Palace. Your Majesty is still waiting, so there is no need to delay."
Seeing Wang De's attitude, Li Ke felt relieved and said with a smile
"Okay, my lord, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and follow you."
Wang De smiled and nodded. Although he knew that Li Er was waiting, there were many rules in the palace. It was also a necessary etiquette to change clothes to see the emperor, so he smiled and said
"Okay, Your Highness the King of Shu, please hurry up."
Li Ke once again confirmed that nothing was wrong, otherwise Wang De would not agree to change his clothes.
