I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

The next day, when Li Jinghuan was sitting with the eldest prince and listening to E Yangxu's lecture, a voice suddenly came from outside, "The emperor is here!"

E Yangxu also ignored the lecture, quickly put down his book and knelt down, waiting respectfully for the yellow figure of Daoming.

The emperor walked in, first stepped forward to help his two sons kindly, and then told Eyang Xu to stand up heartily.

"I have nothing else to do here this time, just to see if the princes are studying hard in the study room, and if they are slacking off."

Eyang Xu hurriedly said: "Princes are very serious about their studies, and there is no such thing as being lazy."

"Hahaha, that's good," the emperor smiled gratifiedly, "Then I have to test the two emperors, and see how you teach Eyang Xu."

Li Jinghuan lowered his head and rubbed his cuffs with his fingers, feeling a little distressed.Although the emperor's attitude towards him is the same as in the book, but he is not the original after all, if one day...

He couldn't help but sneak a glance at the emperor. Should he regard this person in front of him as an emperor, or just as his father?Facing the emperor, he was cautious because he was afraid of being seen through, because he was afraid of being blamed. After all, how could such a thing as time-traveling possession be believed!

"Huan'er, Huan'er! What are you thinking?" Li Jinghuan was startled by the majestic voice, and looked straight at the emperor with a pair of clear and confused eyes.

The emperor looked at Li Jinghuan suspiciously, "Huan'er, what were you thinking just now? The emperor is distracted when he talks here?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Jinghuan quickly restrained his mood, and replied respectfully: "My son is just thinking about what my father will test my son, so I can prepare well, and I can't let my father down."

"Hahaha, Huan'er don't need to be nervous, I just want to see how you are studying recently, and I won't make things difficult for you." The corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly curved, and he said happily.

He is still very satisfied with Li Jinghuan's reaction and performance. After all, it is not easy for a ten-year-old child to maintain such composure in front of him. Very good, he has the demeanor of a prince.

"Father!" The eldest prince who was ignored beside him couldn't help but brush his presence.

Every time as long as this little prince is around, my father will never see other sons, and he will only see this little prince in his eyes. What is so good about him? How can I be worse than him?

"What's wrong with Rong'er?" The emperor looked at the eldest prince suspiciously.

"Father, my son has learned a lot from studying recently, and I want to talk to my father, but my father only sees my second younger brother, and I can't see my son." The eldest prince said aggrieved and somewhat dissatisfied.

"This..." The emperor rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and began to reflect on whether he cared too little for other princes, "Then what does Rong'er want to say to father, tell me now, father listen It's on."

The eldest prince said proudly: "Father, my son recently read "Zizhi Tongjian" and saw that Zhou Tianzi recognized the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Wei as vassal states, which made the original illegal division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty. As far as legality is concerned, Sima Guang believes that this is "not the bad manners of the Three Jin Dynasties, but the emperor himself." , the officials below will naturally act recklessly, which means that things must come to an end, and it is reasonable."

Hearing the opinion of the eldest prince, Li Jinghuan only felt that it was penetrating. He remembered that a great man in his previous life had made the same comment when he read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and the eldest prince is only a teenager now. It is not easy to have such an understanding.

However, the strange thing is that after hearing what the eldest prince said, the emperor's expression became more and more ugly. No father saw the joy of his son's profound thoughts, but said rather sternly: "It is a good thing that the eldest prince likes to study. However, in the future, it is better not to read books like "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", if you really want to understand history, read more "Historical Records."

The eldest prince didn't know why, why didn't his father appreciate and praise his meticulously prepared answer, but told himself not to read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" anymore?

However, he still said respectfully: "I know."

Li Jinghuan was also very strange at first, but when he heard the emperor asked the eldest prince to read "Historical Records", he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something, and then he was frightened into a cold sweat by his own thoughts.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" has been the default book of emperors since ancient times, and it is the standard textbook used by emperors of all dynasties to learn the art of emperors, but now the eldest prince, as a courtier, has started to read this book, and he seems to have some ideas. How could this not make the emperor vigilant.

The emperor looked at Li Jinghuan who was at the side again, "Huan'er, what about you? What have you learned from studying recently!"

Li Jinghuan was immersed in his own thoughts, and when he heard the emperor's question, he quickly raised his head and said politely: "I have missed a lot of homework a few days ago, so I have been making up for the missed lessons recently, and I have no time to read other books. , Father, please forgive me."

A companion is like a tiger, and with the lesson learned from the eldest prince, he became more cautious, for fear that he would offend the emperor by saying something wrong.

The emperor turned his head and looked out the window deeply, and said helplessly, "Huan'er is still afraid of me."

Li Jinghuan was a little confused, what does the emperor mean?

"You come with the emperor." The emperor said, strode out of the door.

Li Jinghuan and Li Jingrong looked at each other, and hurriedly followed.

The emperor took the two of them to another side hall of the upper study room. The furnishings in the hall were very simple, with only a desk, a chair, and a map hanging on the wall.

The emperor pointed to a part of the map, and said to the two princes: "You two look here, do you have any ideas?"

Li Jinghuan took a closer look and found that the emperor was pointing at a border pass.This pass is located at the junction of Northern Xinjiang and Daxia, and is the barrier of Daxia.Near the pass is the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles. It was built to stop the Huns' iron cavalry, but unfortunately, it never stopped any war.

The eldest prince thought for a while, then glanced at Li Jinghuan provocatively, stepped forward and replied: "My father, according to my son's opinion, the pass here is high and the valley is deep, the road is rough and difficult to pass, there are deep streams below, huge rocks It is a dangerous road. It is also located in a traffic fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has the best time and place. It is also a fortress for military strategists!"

"Okay! The eldest prince is really a good general!" Hearing Li Jingrong's analysis of the terrain here, the emperor couldn't help applauding, and then turned to look at Li Jinghuan, "Prince, what do you think?"

Li Jinghuan was named, and immediately raised his head and said seriously: "Father, as the elder brother said, this is a military fortress, the location is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but what I have thought of is indeed another problem."

"Oh? Which question?" The emperor said with great interest: "Tell me!"

"Luo Ye, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem titled "The Great Wall". At that time, there was no virtue to govern the world, and extensive construction was futile. Children and grandchildren. To this day, I still say to myself that the voice of injustice approaches the root of the city every night.”

"What is the explanation for this poem?"

"According to my son's humble opinion, the only way to defend the country is to cultivate morality and stabilize the people. If the people's hearts are happy, the country will have its foundation, and the border will be self-reliant. The so-called one who is united in one's will is the same. The rule of the world has its own principles and does not rely solely on danger. Iron cavalry cannon fire can destroy The city cannot break the will of the people. It is not the Great Wall that can really defend against the enemy, but our army and people!"

"Well said!" The emperor boasted with high fives, his pride was beyond words, it is my great fortune for the future prince to have such insight!

The eldest prince met the emperor's gaze and said, "I dare to ask the Pope some questions."

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, then he quickly came back to his senses and said kindly: "If there is anything you don't understand about Rong'er, just ask."

The eldest prince looked at the emperor, and asked somewhat dissatisfied: "Royal father, just now my ministers said that this is an important frontier fortress, a fortress of military strategists, and the royal father praised it greatly; but the second brother said that the way to guard the country is to cultivate virtue and calm the people. It doesn't seem to be that important here, and the emperor also said yes, isn't this contradictory?"

After hearing what he said, the emperor laughed out loud, which made Li Jingrong a little puzzled.Li Jinghuan couldn't help showing a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.

The emperor looked at the puzzled expression of the eldest prince, and explained: "That's a good question! Rong'er analyzed it from the perspective of the terrain, and it was the way of the general; while the crown prince discussed it from the perspective of the people's livelihood, and it was the way of the king. You all have your own strengths. If you can only use your respective strengths in the future, why worry about me being unhappy in Daxia!"

The eldest prince racked his brains and was still puzzled, but seeing Li Jinghuan's understanding expression, he was a little unwilling to admit that he was behind the little prince, so he reluctantly said: "My son understands."

"It's good to understand. You two brothers are about the same age. Now that you are studying together, you can each have your own strengths. I am so relieved!"

Even though the emperor said that, he was still thinking about the question that the eldest prince asked just now.The eldest prince just asked casually, but he couldn't help thinking deeply, is there any conflict between being a king and being a general?

What exactly is the foundation of a country?If a ruler wants benevolence and righteousness, comforts the people, and puts the people first, does he need to focus on the people's livelihood and the people?However, if there is no military, how can Daxia establish a country?If you want to stabilize the country, the military is the top priority.But if the military is fundamental, where are the people?

"Father?" The two princes couldn't help reminding the emperor as they watched the emperor lose his mind.

The emperor came back to his senses, looked at the clear and sincere eyes of the two children, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Huan'er, Rong'er, do you know that this is the place where father and emperor studied. At that time, your emperor's grandfather also Those who are taking the school father's homework here are asking exactly the same questions as the father asked just now."

"Then how did the father answer?" The two boys asked curiously.

"Father said..."

Both Li Jinghuan and Li Jingrong stared at him expectantly.

"I won't tell you guys! Hahahahaha..."
