There is a little husband in the home of crossing

A month flies by.

The weather is gradually getting colder, and winter in the capital seems to come very early, and the wind already has a biting chill on the face.

Under Lin Yixuan's order, Li's mansion had already turned on floor heating. The children who grew up in Yunnan were very unaccustomed to the cold weather in the capital, and even Li Xu became listless.

Li Yaonan finished reviewing the strategies and theories sent by the students, and would take the children out to play if there was nothing to do, so that they could adapt to the environment in Beijing as soon as possible.

It was another day of rest, early in the morning, Li Yaonan led his son to the Four Seas Bookstore.

On this day, the Four Seas Bookstore was full of people. The last time Li Yaonan gave a lecture, there were only a mere thirty people, but today there were more than twenty times the number.

Li Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and there was pride on his small face.

Li Xu curled his lips into a smile, he had always known his father's charm, and his father's knowledge was enough for him to benefit from forever.

"Lord Li." Some students greeted him first when they saw him.

Li Yaonan nodded and smiled, his gentle eyes seemed to be watching everyone: "It's cold, and I'm going to give lectures in a while, you go sit down first, and warm up in the room." Sihai Bookstore also burned the floor heating, of course, this is only Only when someone comes to lecture.

The students were immediately moved, Mr. Li is really a kind person.There are also some people who don't care. Which great Confucian is as airless as him. You have to read it to know whether it is true talent or learning. Who knows whether Master Li is grandstanding or not.There are even people who look disdainful, and their eyes full of calculations can tell that they have good intentions at a glance.

Li Yaonan smiled slightly, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, and suddenly he understood that some people came to find fault today. In fact, he expected that the content of the last lecture offended many upright officials. Some people would start to reflect, while others would If he wants revenge, today's lesson is the key to his real reputation.

After settling down several children, Li Yaonan walked into the classroom slowly. Three luxuriously dressed teenagers were sitting in the right corner of the classroom. It was obvious that they were the princes who were ordered to leave the palace.

The Twelfth Prince was a little surprised, he didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so young, as a prince who hadn't received his errand yet, he didn't have much contact with the court ministers, although he had heard of Li Yaonan's name earlier, today was the first time he saw a real person.

The thirteenth prince looked bored, and yawned one after another. He was a little sleepy before he started listening to the class. If it wasn't for the twelfth brother's persecution, he would have slipped out to play a long time ago. The thirteenth prince didn't care at all about the apprenticeship. It's because all the literati are not to his liking.

The Sixteenth Prince secretly rejoiced, this lord is so young, he must have no skills, the rumors outside must be false, Twelve Brother worshiped him as a teacher not only will not help, maybe he will be abolished, it is God helping me, my concubine said , the father is very dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince, as long as he works harder, the future throne may not be invincible.

The twelfth prince glanced at him lightly. This sixteenth brother is young and has a lot of thoughts. He was taught badly by his mother and concubine. How could the throne be so contentious? Didn't you see that the royal brothers gradually lost their favor? .

The twelve princes thought that it would be better for him to be a virtuous king, and he had fantasized about that supreme position. However, he saw the prince becoming irritable, seeing several royal brothers fighting each other, and seeing his father getting worse and worse. With a patient look in his eyes, he backed away.

The Twelfth Prince admitted that he was afraid. He didn't have a strong family, and he didn't have the support of ministers behind him. If he didn't have self-knowledge, he was afraid that he wouldn't survive to adulthood.

At this time, the wish of the Twelfth Prince is very small, he just wants to be a sidekick, and he never dreamed that one day he could rule the world.At the same time, he also gradually understood why the prince's temper was getting worse and worse. If he hadn't been taught honestly and carefully, in such a situation, he was afraid that he would become like the prince.

Li Yaonan sat on the podium, and the students below quickly fell silent.

"Okay, last lesson we talked about the way of being an official, today I'm going to talk about crony theory." Li Yaonan's voice was unhurried, and the mellow voice seemed to reveal a kind of magical power, which made people unconsciously want to Listen attentively.

Of course, there were some exceptions among them, and they began to discuss in low voices: "Why don't I talk about the way of being an official?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Li has a different opinion."

"I just came here for the way of being an official."

"Me too. My father asked me to attend the class. Master Li's insights are really thought-provoking."

"Hey! Maybe it's just a show, so I dare not talk about it."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Could it be wrong? Honest officials are unbearable, and corrupt officials should be praised."

"you……"

"..."

The people below were chattering, and the voices of those making trouble seemed to be particularly loud.

Li Yaonan had a slight smile on his face, and his flat voice was not angry and pretentious: "I am teaching, no loud noises are allowed, and all troublemakers will be expelled from the classroom. Last time, my officer said that if you have any questions, you can ask them after class. Please be quiet now."

"Why don't you let us say that the students still have a lot of doubts about the way of being an official. I beg Master Li to clarify."

Li Yaonan's expression was calm: "If you have any questions, answer them after class. Now is the time for lectures. People must respect themselves before others. The last class has already been finished. Please don't delay other people's study."

Diao Xiuyong was indignant, his father was a poor official and never embezzled a penny, and the family's money was occasionally subsidized by his mother's sewing and embroidery. Why did Master Li write down his father's hard work with a few words, but became a philanderer? Senior, he is not convinced.

But, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Li Yaonan's words are reasonable, if he didn't come to listen to the last class, why should he delay other people's study progress because of them.

The people who came to the class last time were secretly happy, thinking that they had been taught by Master Li privately, and once again thanked that they were not absent.

The Twelve Princes kept it in their hearts, Master Li used this method of four or two to pull a thousand catties very well.

The thirteenth prince was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to what happened just now.

Only the Twelfth Prince was filled with joy. Although Lord Li is a third-rank official, his majesty is not very good. If Lord Ye were to give a lecture, no one would dare to speak out to refute it. It's just...how can you worship Lord Ye as a teacher? The twelfth prince was a little embarrassed. In recent days, his frequent visits to the scholar's mansion did not seem to have any effect. Maybe he had to ask his mother and concubine to find a way. With his uncle's face, he thought Lord Ye would not refuse.

Li Yaonan cleared his throat: "The theory of cliques has existed since ancient times, but fortunately, a gentleman can distinguish between a gentleman and a villain. Generally speaking, a gentleman and a gentleman are friends with the same way, and a villain and a villain are friends with the same interests. This is also a natural principle. ..."

"However, so far, the theory of cronyism has become the exclusion of dissidents, and the combined forces of all parties are fighting each other. In the court, crony disputes abound. During the Wei Dynasty, Liang Tai was a loyal minister, and Shi Gaoyi was also a loyal minister. The party and the government have different views. Although they are all for the court, the attitudes of the two parties are still far apart. After Liang Tai passed away, Shi Dang was in the limelight for a while, and the courtiers of Liang Dang dismounted one after another, and the court became chaotic since then, until Emperor Wei Wen succeeded to the throne. In order to resist Shi Dang, Wei Wendi favored the eunuchs and made the chaotic court even more corrupt. , laid the foundation for the subjugation of the country, and this is the lesson of history books."

Li Yaonan took a breath, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Both Liang Dang and Shi Dang, in my opinion, are not good officials. Power has confused their minds. In the later stage, the dispute between the two parties is no longer a matter of political differences. , but to attack each other for the sake of profit."

Many students nodded one after another, with thoughtful faces. It's not that no one has ever talked about factionalism before, but it's not as detailed as Mr. Li said.

The topic Li Yaonan left last time was precisely Liang Tai.Because of Shi Gaoyi's power, Wei Wendi was afraid of him and followed him everywhere, while promoting eunuchs to fight against him, but he didn't know that the eunuchs had long been united with Shi Gaoyi, and Liang Tai's death made him wise. He thought to himself, if Mr. Liang had not passed away, Shi Gaoyi would not have dared to cover the sky with one hand, and the Wei Dynasty would not have been defeated.

However, they never thought that if there were no disputes between the two parties, how could the court become more and more chaotic. At the beginning, the two officials Liang and Shi were at least dedicated to serving the people. Already, intensified the speed of the Wei Dynasty's subjugation.

Li Yaonan smiled lightly, and lightly dropped a bomb: "Let's talk about the Chong'an change in the previous dynasty."

The faces of the students changed one after another. The change in Chong’an is a sensitive topic. The former Emperor Gaozu was the son of a sinful concubine. He was not favored by the emperor since he was a child. He joined the army at the age of 13, and gradually he was appreciated by the emperor. After the death of the first emperor, the new emperor came to the throne, and the country name was Chong'an.

Poor Emperor Chong'an, who only sat on the throne for one day, Gaozu launched a coup that night, led the army to attack the Golden Luan Palace and won a complete victory in one fell swoop.

The twelve princes looked cautious, Li Yaonan was really daring, knowing that the situation was delicate, he dared to speak about such a sensitive topic.

The thirteenth prince had disappeared a long time ago, and while the twelfth brother was not paying attention, he sneaked out to play.

The sixteenth prince was in high spirits, gloating in his heart, Twelfth Brother worshiped such a teacher, he would definitely be in trouble in the future, even if the prince's elder brother was deposed, Twelfth Brother would not be afraid.

The sixteenth prince was thinking about his little plan, maybe he could win over the twelve brothers and be his right-hand man.Although the sixteenth prince is young, his heart is not small at all.

It's a pity that none of them expected that Li Yaonan's topic was sensitive, and what he said not only did not violate any taboos, but even implicitly echoed the emperor's intentions.

But think about it, if Li Yaonan is really a fool, how could he be valued by the emperor if he doesn't have any skills.

The Twelfth Prince admired him from the bottom of his heart, and unknowingly recognized this teacher. He thought that Mr. Li's lectures were eclectic, never boring things in writing, and there were many things worth learning.

Li Yaonan's words were sharp, no matter how he gave examples or analogies, he was talking about the disadvantages of cronies. He thought that it was enough for the ruling officials to be loyal to the emperor. All of them are loyal to the emperor.

After this class, surprisingly, no one made things difficult, just a joke, Mr. Li is talking about crony disputes, if you raise objections, do you want to form a clique or what do you want to do?Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

Even Diao Xiuyong didn't deliberately find fault just now, Li Yaonan made it very clear that to be an official is enough to be loyal to the emperor. If you don't understand the way, it will appear out of place, and it will attract people's disgust.
