Great Tang Southern Emperor

'Then why are you talking so much? Li Ke and the others burst into tears, and at the same time, they were a little rejoiced, and at the same time they were full of sympathy for Li You and the others, but as the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor one, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers, take your time.

"What, what you said is true?" Li Ke and Li Min are blood brothers. As an elder brother, he felt that it was necessary for his younger brother to prepare for the miserable life in the future. Sure enough, after hearing Li Ke's news, Li Yin looked at Li Ke with horror on his face.

"Do I have to lie to you?"

"Eighth Brother really wants to be my husband?"

"It's just a possibility." Li Ke said with a smirk: "The eighth brother can only be your teacher if he passes the exam and agrees to it."

"Then do you think it is very likely that the eighth brother will pass?" Li Yin immediately asked cautiously, but he was praying in his heart.

"Big." That's true.

"Can you let the emperor take back his order?" Li Yin's voice was trembling.

"What do you say?"

"No." Li Yin cried miserably: "Is there no solution?"

"It's fine if you can be promoted to the Hongwen Academy. But" Li Ke looked at Li Yin with sympathy on his face: "You failed all your homework, how can you let your husband agree to your promotion to the Hongwen Academy?"

"No!!!" Li Yin's cry was horrible.

"Who can blame this? You don't go to class, but play around." Li Ke patted Li Yin on the shoulder: "Now the retribution has come."

"God! God, I, Li Yin, beg you." Li Yin knelt on the ground, kowtowed and prayed to God: "Please don't let the eighth brother pass the exam, even if he can pass the exam, don't let him pass the exam." Promise father, I beg you."

In order to show his sincerity, Li Yin did his best, and every sound of his head was a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang, without any cheating.Li Yin is the most disobedient among Li Shimin's fourteen sons, and he is also the one Li Shimin hates the most, so that he said, "Beast taming can tame and harass people; iron and stone can be used as a round tool. Those who are as humble as me were never as good as beasts and stones!" In this way, it can be seen how disappointed he is with his son.But no one thought that a Li Zhen would kill Li Yinke to death. If Li Shimin knew, he would not have obtained Li Zhen's consent, and would directly transfer Li Zhen to the "primary school" by imperial decree to discipline Li Yin.

Chapter 10 assessment

Li Ke comforted Li Yin again and left for a while. He still had to inform Li You and Li Yun, leaving only Li Yin crying.

Li Ke entered Li You's bedroom, and not long after, Li You's heart-piercing cries resounded through the sky, obviously he got the news, and then Li Yun, the same.

The next day the weather was fine, and Fang and Du were about to go back after morning court, when a young eunuch came forward and said, "Master Fang, Lord Du, the emperor invites you."

"Is there anything the emperor wants from us?" Fang Xuanling asked the little eunuch on the way.

"I don't know either, but it seems to be related to the Eighth Prince." The little eunuch replied in a low voice.

"Eighth Prince?" Fang and Du two looked at each other, they had heard about the miracle of the Eighth Prince, they had also experienced the method of making ice with saltpeter, what's wrong with the Eighth Prince?

Du Ruhui asked: "What happened to the Eighth Prince?"

"This servant really doesn't know."

When he came to the imperial study room, Li Shimin was already waiting: "Two loves, wait a moment, there are still a few loves who have not come."

"Yes." The two waited for a while, and four ministers, Kong Yingda, Yan Liben, Yu Shinan, and Zhu Suiliang, entered the imperial study one after another.

Seeing that everyone has come together, Li Shimin said: "My dear friends, my eighth son Zhen is young, but extremely arrogant, even more so after receiving the inheritance of the immortals. He has mastered his own words, and his diction is unparalleled in the world. He even doesn't want to study. I want to teach this son a lesson, let him know that there are people beyond the human world, and there is a sky beyond the heavens. All of you lovers are academicians who are pedantic, so I propose that several lovers pose questions for Zhen'er to answer. If he can pass the test of your lovers , I will allow him to stop studying, and if he fails to pass, he will be punished slightly, I wonder if all my loves are willing to be this examiner?"

"I obey the order." All the old foxes present, naturally understood what the emperor meant.

"Prince Zhen."

"Yes."

After a short time, Li Zhen came to the imperial study room, not only him, but also concubine Yan and eldest grandson behind him.

"I've seen my father, I've seen some adults." Li Zhen saluted with a wink.

"Zhen'er is free."

"I have seen the Eighth Highness."

"Zhen'er, these lovers are all educated people, you have to think about it." Li Shimin began to put pressure on Li Zhen.

"My son has already made up his mind." Li Zhen showed no fear.

"Then let's get started."

Several ministers looked at each other, and Kong Yingda stood up and said, "There must be an old minister to test His Highness's "The Analects of Confucius."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Li Zhen hurriedly saluted.

"Well, 'Food and drink with little food, bend your arms and sleep on it, and enjoy yourself.' What's the next sentence? What does this sentence mean?" Kong Yingda was very satisfied with Li Zhen's knowledge, but he didn't see it in the question. No mercy.

Li Zhen recalled for a while: "'Unrighteousness and richness are like floating clouds to me.' This means eating simple food and cold water, bending your elbows as a pillow, and enjoying it, using improper means To make myself rich and honorable is like a cloud to me."

"Hmm." Kong Yingda was very satisfied. Li Zhen's answer was quick without any lag. This shows that Li Zhen has really learned the knowledge thoroughly, and continued to ask: "'The state has the way, it is poor and cheap, and it is shameful. The country has no way, rich and noble, shame.' The last sentence is still interesting."

"'Believe in learning, keep the good way to death. Don't enter a dangerous country, don't live in a chaotic country. If there is a way in the world, you will see it, and if there is no way, you will hide." It means "firm belief and study hard, and swear to guard and perfect the way of governing the country and being a person.Do not go into troubled countries, do not live in troubled countries.If the country has the right way, it will come out to be an official; if the country has no way, it will live in seclusion.It is a disgrace if the country is righteous but you are poor; it is also a shame if the country is not righteous and you are rich. " Li Zhen still answered very smoothly.

"The most filial piety is to respect relatives; the most important thing to respect relatives is to be supported by the world. The next sentence and its interpretation."

"To be the son and father of heaven is to respect the most; to support the world is to support the most. It means that a filial son's filial piety is no more than respecting his parents; respecting his parents is no more than using the world to serve his parents (瞽瞍) and being the son of heaven. Father said honorable It's extreme; (Shun) the world came to support him and said that he was extremely supportive."

"" "The Analects of Confucius" is considered simple, Li Zhen remembers it very firmly, and answered well, Kong Yingda was very satisfied, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Your Highness understands "The Analects of Confucius" very thoroughly, and the old minister has passed the test here."

"Thank you for your love." Li Shimin was extremely beautiful in his heart, but his face remained calm.

After Kong Yingda passed the test, Zhu Suiliang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me try your Highness's calligraphy?"

"allow."

Zhu Suiliang said to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, please write "Guan Ju" silently."

"Yes." "Guan Ju" is not too long, and Li Zhen quickly finished it silently.Zhu Suiliang nodded while looking at Li Zhen's calligraphy. Although Li Zhen's calligraphy is not famous, it can barely catch the eye. It is nothing to Zhu Suiliang, but it is much better than ordinary students.

"Your Majesty, the calligraphy of His Highness Eighth Highness is very rare, but it's just a little short of time. As long as you practice hard, it's not impossible to surpass Wang Youjun." Zhu Suiliang spoke highly of Li Zhen's calligraphy, because although Li Zhen's calligraphy is still immature, But it took a different path than before.

It should be known that since Wang Xizhi, no matter how the world learns calligraphy, there is always a trace of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. This is because most of the students in the world have learned Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and of course they cannot escape the framework of Wang's calligraphy. , not to mention being unique.But today from Li Zhen, Zhu Suiliang saw a different example, maybe this is the opportunity to break away from Wang's framework.

"Aiqing won the prize. Although Zhen'er's calligraphy is good, it is far inferior to Aiqing's." Li Shimin is also knowledgeable, and naturally knows how promising Li Zhen's calligraphy is. He is happy in his heart, but his mouth is still modest .

Several other ministers also saw Li Zhen's handwriting and thought it was very good. Fang Xuanling was about to stand up, but Yan Liben took the lead: "Your Majesty, please allow me to test and compare His Highness's paintings."

"I admire Aiqing's painting skills, sure." Just like Zhu Suiliang's calligraphy, Yan Liben's paintings are also famous all over the world. When mentioning this, no one will be dissatisfied.

"Yes." Yan Liben said to Li Zhen: "Please draw a picture, Your Highness, any picture is fine."

"Yes." The level of painting is the most difficult for Li Zhen to pass. It's not that he can't, he has also learned it, but what did he learn?He studied manga, and it was a cute manga. He felt a little guilty, and he didn't know if he could do it: "Mr. Yan, my drawing skills are different from ordinary ones, so I don't know if I can do it?"

"Your Highness, just paint." Hearing that it was a new painting technique, Yan Liben's eyes became brighter. He was addicted to painting, so he was naturally very interested in the new painting technique.
