From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 190: Martial Arts: If You Are Not Crazy, You Can't Live
"Something happened!"

As Li Chengqian finished speaking, the private room fell silent, and the four people's eyes all fell on Li Chengqian.

It was obvious that Li Chengqian didn't call them here today to drink tea and chat.

"I invited you here to tell you not to dwell on my plans to usurp the throne. I have little interest in that position. Now that Daqing has conquered the Dongyi and is threatening Northern Qi, the unification of the world is inevitable. We must unite around our father and help him accomplish his great cause."

Having said this, he glanced at everyone and said, "Second brother, you are the King of Zhao and a minister in the council hall, surrounded by a group of civil servants. You must manage the relationships in the court well. Don't attack this and frame that all day long. Now is the time for unity. If there are any grudges, it's not too late to discuss them after we unify the country."

“I, I didn’t…!”

"You don't have any? The civil servants in the court have been making a fuss lately. Just in the past two days, someone has been making a fuss about Fan Xian's background. What are they trying to do? Doesn't the Emperor know about Fan Xian's background? Doesn't he know? Why do we need them to jump out and spread nonsense?"

“Cough, cough…!”

King Zhao's expression changed. He seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to be irritated. He didn't say a word, but instead started coughing violently.

"Second brother!"

Seeing Prince Zhao like this, Li Chengqian revealed an expression of disappointment. "Look at us brothers. My eldest brother is an invincible general who wiped out the Western Hu in one fell swoop. I'm a Grandmaster, ready to spread my martial arts across the land. Fan Xian is now firmly at the Ninth Rank. And Chengping has also started practicing martial arts and is about to complete his foundation building. Only you have kidney deficiency and you haven't even gotten married yet. What are you going to do in the future?!"

"I, you...!" Zhao Wang Li Chengze raised his head suddenly, his face flushed. "I don't, I don't have kidney deficiency, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense. Look at you. You have hot flashes, night sweats, dizziness, tinnitus, and insomnia. You have typical kidney deficiency. You're like this, and you still want to plot and compete with me for the position of crown prince. You can't even give birth to a son, what's the point of competing for it?"

"You...!" King Zhao raised his finger and pointed at Li Chengqian. His flushed face had turned purple. He wanted to refute, but he was afraid and couldn't say a word.

"Okay, stop pointing randomly. Go back to Gui Zitian and ask him to prescribe a prescription for you. Take good care of yourself and don't embarrass us."

Li Chengqian knocked on the table, looking like a godfather.

King Zhao's purple face began to turn pale, and he sat there gasping for breath. He felt that all his twenty years of reputation had been lost today.

"Tell those civil servants to stop bothering themselves with Fan Xian's affairs. Don't you think it's troublesome enough?!" Li Chengqian's face darkened. "And you, Fan Xian, you have a special background and identity. Your father arranged for you to marry so that you can take over the inner treasury in the future. That was your mother's property, and it's only natural that it be returned to you. I have no objection to this.

However, the inner treasury is related to Daqing's finances and its strategy towards Northern Qi. In this regard, you should learn more from your aunt. In recent years, she has gradually taken control of Northern Qi's salt and smelting industries, and has also made in-depth arrangements for people's livelihoods. These are all preparations for the future. Please help me keep an eye on it and make sure it is not disrupted."

Fan Xian nodded, "I understand."

"As for your strength, you're already at the Ninth Rank, but you're a bit tricky. You have too many things in your head, too many things, and you think too much. What happened recently is closely related to you, but you can't solve it, and you don't know how to face it, right?!"

"Your Highness's gaze is as sharp as a torch. I really don't know how to face him now." Fan Xian said with some entanglement.

"If you can't figure out how to deal with it, don't face it for now. If you can't make up your mind, don't make it for now. Observe more, listen more, don't let others lead you by the nose, and don't think you're too smart. Whether it's Chen Pingping or Shadow, they're looking for you not for you, but to use you to achieve their goals. You must first think clearly about what you want and what goals you want to achieve in the future. Then, see if your decision will benefit those goals. Follow your heart. This mess is a mess, don't expect to solve it in a short time."

"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Your Highness."

"Also, listen more to your father's advice. He's an old fox. His only concern is to protect you. There's no harm in listening to him."

At this point, Li Chengqian looked at Li Chengping and said, "Fourth Brother, I'm going to establish a martial arts school in Kyoto. When the time comes, you'll be the first student. Not only you, but also those children from the aristocratic families you usually hang out with. Pick a few and bring them all in. Don't go to Guangning Palace anymore."

"Really?!" Li Chengping's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he became much more energetic.

Guangning Palace is where the princes study. Great scholars in the court are invited to serve as teachers, and young talents are invited to serve as tutors. All underage princes study in Guangning Palace. This is also a means for emperors of various dynasties in this world to cultivate trusted ministers and expand their influence.

The teacher who had taught him since childhood, the tutor who had accompanied him through his studies, had known him for so many years that they understood each other very well. Even without discussing feelings, just understanding, they were the perfect choice for confidants. However, most of the princes disliked Guangning Palace, believing it was too boring. Furthermore, the teachers chosen by the emperor for the princes were often powerful and influential university scholars, ensuring that even the princes could not act arrogantly in their presence. Such university scholars were often awe-inspiring, but their teaching skills were not necessarily high, which did not arouse the princes' interest in learning. This was especially true for princes with more eccentric personalities like Li Chengping, who had a psychological shadow over Guangning Palace.

"You want to abolish Guangning Palace?! And start a martial arts school?" The Second Prince suddenly raised his head, horror flashing in his eyes. "That's impossible! The court officials won't agree. You're trying to undermine their very existence!"

Li Chengqian said it lightly, but the actual meaning of his words made Prince Zhao, who hung out with civil officials every day, terrified. This meant depriving the civil officials of their right to educate the prince!

Is this still available?

The emperors of all dynasties were taught by civil officials. No matter how these emperors performed later, they all acknowledged one thing, that is, what Emperor Qing often taught Li Chengqian, that is, one can conquer the world immediately, but it is impossible to rule the world immediately.

It is the civil officials who govern the world, and the military generals lead the troops to fight when necessary. You rough people should not ask too much about the affairs of the court.

Why did the emperor have such an understanding? Just look at who taught them and you will know.

Even Emperor Qing was fooled.

"In martial arts, they will also be taught to read and write, and there are also some books of sages." Li Chengqian grinned, "When the time comes, they can also take some time to read them while practicing martial arts to relax."

"You just said you wanted to stabilize the court, but if you do this, the court will not be stable."

"That's why I've come to you, the wise king!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Let them be, steady them, guide them, and let them follow the path we've designed, step by step, until they perish."

hiss!
Fan Xian finally understood what Li Chengqian meant, and horror flashed in his eyes.

"Don't be so surprised, and don't look at me like that." Li Chengqian glanced at Fan Xian and said, "This is a battle of ideologies, a fight to the death, and there's no room for compromise."

"If you take too big a step, you'll get hurt." Fan Xian didn't quite agree with Li Chengqian's point of view.

"That's why I have to rely on you!"

"Depend on me?!"

"You know that what you've learned is quite diverse, and it's all practical techniques. I've also gotten to know your mother, and she also learned practical techniques. What do you think of replacing Confucianism with your practical techniques?"

"what?"

This time, not to mention Fan Xian, even the eldest prince and the second prince were stunned.

"Don't be anxious. Take your time. The first step is to start with the prince's education." Li Chengqian stared at Fan Xian and said, "That way, you can also sort out what you have learned through the process of sorting out and teaching, find your own path, and finally break through the barrier of becoming a Grandmaster."

"But……!"

Fan Xian stared at Li Chengqian blankly, as if he was looking at a madman.

They actually let a teenager like him compile a set of theories to replace Confucianism in governing the country!

This is too much of a joke.

Looking at Li Chengqian again, he still maintained an unfathomable smile, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Chengqian was happy that he had one more ox or horse.
