Following Wang De, Li Ke asked quietly
"I wonder why my father asked me to go? I would like to ask my father-in-law to clarify my doubts."
If Wang De had hurriedly asked Li Ke to go to Liangyi Hall as soon as he came up, Li Ke would not even ask, but would directly face Li Er's anger. He couldn't kill him anyway, and he had not heard that he was in the Tenth Palace. What kind of disaster happened when I was two or three years old?
Wang De said with a smile as he walked
"Nothing. I think your Majesty also misses His Highness the King of Shu. He wants to summon His Highness the King of Shu to ask questions."
"Thank you, father-in-law. I understand."
Li Ke smiled, cupped his hands, and said no more. He didn't believe a word of Wang De's words, even though Li Er did favor Li Ke very much in history.
Even when the crown prince and the King of Wei were defeated, the idea of making Li Ke the crown prince came up. If Changsun Wuji hadn't stopped him, Li Ke's chances of becoming the crown prince would have been pretty good.
But after all, he is not the blood of Queen Changsun. He still has the blood of Emperor Sui Yang, which is the biggest obstacle to him becoming the prince.
The two of them didn't speak any more along the way. Li Ke was thinking a lot in his mind, and soon he arrived in front of the Liangyi Palace.
Looking at Wang De's back, Li Ke's mood was very complicated at this time. He had great admiration for Li Er, the eternal emperor, and looked forward to meeting him. He also had his original awe of Li Er, and he was also afraid of the road ahead.
After all, he knew that he would be killed by Changsun Wuji on charges of treason.
While waiting, Li Ke simulated several ways to meet Li Erda in his mind, such as how to speak, what tone to use, how to address him, and what posture to kneel down would be more handsome...
While he was still thinking wildly, Wang De's voice came over
"His Royal Highness King Xuan Shu."
Li Ke sorted out his mood, took another deep breath, and then slowly walked into the Liangyi Hall. Before he could see Li Er's face behind the desk, Li Ke lowered his head and walked forward quickly. , plopped down on his knees in front of the desk, and said loudly
"My son, Li Ke, has met my father. I wish my father eternal blessings and longevity."
Quiet, extremely quiet, if Li Ke could not hear Wang De's gasping voice, Li Ke would have thought that there was no one in Liangyi Hall.
At this moment, Li Ke was very upset. Why did he say the last sentence that he should not have said, "Jun Jun, minister," although Li Erda is his father, in the royal family, there are monarchs and ministers first, and then father and son.
Liangyi Hall was very quiet. Li Ke didn't know what Li Er was thinking, but he knew that Li Er was silent and he didn't dare to raise his head.
Looking at Li Ke kneeling on the ground, Li Erdada also had mixed feelings in his heart. He was not angry, nor did he blame Li Ke for not understanding the rules, but he was a little lost in the sound of "Daddy".
Originally, everyone said that the royal family had no family ties, not to mention what Li Er did in the ninth year of Wude, which destined him to have no family ties for the rest of his life.
But Li Ke's appearance today made Li Er feel the long-lost family affection except with Queen Changsun.
Li Er sat on the dragon chair and was lost for a while, but with his strong self-control, he soon woke up again.
Looking at Li Ke who was still kneeling on the ground, Li Erda quickly stepped forward, pulled Li Ke up, and said with a smile
"You and I, father and son, don't need to pay such a big gift. Come on, sit down quickly and let me take a good look at you."
Li Ke was a little confused, but also a little lucky that he didn't offend Mr. Li Er. It seemed that Mr. Li Er was quite happy.
Li Ke felt Li Erda's strong hands holding him, smiled slightly, and followed Li Erda to the low couch beside him.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Li Er held Li Ke's hand but never let go.
Wang De, who saw this scene, had no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with turmoil. This was a signal from the emperor that His Highness the King of Shu was about to gain power.
Li Er glanced at Li Ke, nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad. He has the same demeanor as his father."
Li Ke also took this opportunity to look at Li Erda carefully. It must be said that Li Erda's appearance is also top-notch in the circle of future uncles.
"Ke'er, I heard that you questioned Kong Qing today?"
Li Ke scratched his head in embarrassment and said
"My child is to treat the people as they please. I don't understand this sentence. It is clear that Sage Kong wanted to educate all people, so why would he talk about a policy that dumbs down the people? This is not in line with Sage Kong's ideas."
Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Then what do you think is better, is it better to educate the people, or implement a policy of obscuring the people?"
Li Ke said without thinking
"Of course it is good to educate the people. Everyone has books to read and everyone is literate. If you read more books, people will understand a lot of truths and know a lot of etiquette, which will reduce the number of vicious incidents in the country and also reduce the pressure on the court.
More importantly, there are more people studying, and there are more people who are capable and can do things for the people, and the court can recruit more talents, making it easier and faster for the court to operate.
This is a blessing for the country and the people, and it is a great thing that can make my father an emperor for eternity. "
I don’t know if Li Er listened to the rest, but Li Ke clearly saw that when he was talking about the eternal emperor, Li Er’s eyes were obviously bright and dazzling.
Then Li Er seemed to remember something again, his eyes darkened, and he said helplessly
"My father also knows the benefits of studying, but let's not talk about the cost of the paper. Let's just say that the cost of engraving and printing is not something that the court can solve. It's difficult."
Li Ke smiled slightly after hearing this, that's it? You must know that before he became a volunteer teacher, he was engaged in book binding design in the imperial capital. At that time, he followed a teacher to do everything from papermaking to engraving and printing to mixing ink. Because of these, the teacher is still there. The most beautiful book in China Won first prize in the competition.
At this time, Li Ke had two choices:
First, make your own invention and dedicate it to Li Erda.
Second, remind Li Erda from the side and let Li Erda discover it by himself.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ke decided to give a reminder, so that he would not have to face the aristocratic family in a short time. After all, he knew how crazy the aristocratic family was in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Erda was able to suppress it a little, but only a little. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, aristocratic families were rampant and unscrupulous. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families were massacred and then gradually disappeared.
Since martial arts are not good, then literary ones can dig out their roots.
After thinking about it, Li Ke smiled and said
"Father, my child discovered something interesting these days."
Li Er was obviously not interested, but he smiled and said
"What's the matter?"
Li Ke took out his private seal and several small seals from his arms, put them in front of Li Er, kept combining them, and said casually
"My child discovered that the words on this seal can be formed into different sentences at will. Although it is not smooth, it is interesting. My child also wants to have people hit more with lead blocks and print them for fun. It is cheap and durable."
